INTRODUCTION
The Energy/Heat Recovery Ventilator (ERV/HRV) is used to
exchange indoor stale air with outside fresh air. The unit is
equipped with a special energy/heat recovery core which transfers
both sensible and/or latent heat between the fresh incoming air and
stale exhaust air. The cross--flow design core allows entering and
leaving air streams to transfer heat and/or latent energy without
mixing (See Fig. 3).

WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Do not install return--air registers (or stale--air pickup registers)
in same room as gas furnace or water heater.
A05331
Fig. 6 -- Chain Spring Installation
Independent System Application
In the absence of a forced--air system and a typical duct system
layout, the ERV/HRV can be applied as an independent or stand
alone unit. To ensure comfort, this type of application involves
running both fresh--air and return--air registers (or stale--air pickup
registers) throughout the home.
Fresh--air registers are normally located in bedrooms, dining room,
living room, and basement. It is recommended that registers be
placed 6 to 12” (152 to 305mm) from the ceiling on an interior
wall and airflow directed toward ceiling. If registers are floor
installed, airflow should be directed toward the wall.
Return--air (or stale--air pickup registers) are normally located to
draw from kitchen, bathroom, basement, or other rooms where
stale--air can exist.
Proper size and type of registers must be used to minimize pressure
drop. The velocity of airflow through register should not be above
400 ft (122m) per minute.
Maximum length of duct for the system should be designed
according to the highest speed of the unit. Refer to specifications
listed in unit Product Data Digest for ventilation capacities.
Forced--Air Application
Most ERV/HRV applications will be installed in conjunction with
new or existing forced--air system. To operate properly, the
fresh--air supply and stale--air return from ERV/HRV connect
directly to return--air duct system. This is how the ERV/HRV
distributes fresh air and removes stale air from inside of building
(See Fig. 7). For these installations, furnace or fan coil blower must
be interlocked and operate continuously whenever ERV/HRV is
energized. See Fig. 17 for interlock wiring detail.
NOTE: The fresh air from ERV/HRV is introduced into return--air
duct at a point no less than 6 ft (1.8m) upstream of furnace or fan
coil. This connection should be direct (See Fig. 7). This is to allow
incoming fresh --air to mix before entering indoor equipment.

PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in minor property
damage from sweating duct or loss of unit efficiency and
capacity.
If ERV/HRV duct work is installed in an unconditioned
space, insulated flexible duct is required.
Insulated flexible duct is required on both fresh--air inlet and
exhaust-- air outlet ducts connecting to exterior wall. When
using insulated flexible duct, the vapor barrier of the flexible ducts
must be taped very tight to prevent condensation problems. To
reduce pressure drop, stretch the flex duct and support it in a proper
manner to avoid reduced airflow.
When connecting the ERV/HRV to a return--air duct system,
insulated flexible duct can be used. However, when metal or rigid
ducts are applied use approximately 18” (457mm) of flexible duct
at ERV/HRV ports for fresh--air supply, and stale--air return. When
ERV / HRV
using metal duct from fresh--air supply to system duct work, the
metal duct should be insulated. (See Fig. 8.) This can act as a
silencer when connecting ducts to return--air duct system. This
should eliminate transmission of noise or vibration from unit to
main duct system.
CAUTION
1. Punch out holes in foam insulation and door, then insert
sleeved grommets into bottom of unit using the gasket
washer and nut. (See Fig. 9.)
2. Cut two sections of plastic tubing, about 12” / 305mm long
and attach them to each drain.
3. Join the two short sections of plastic tubing to the “T” connector and the main tube as shown.
4. Make a loop in the tubing below the “T” connector to create
a trap to prevent sewer gases from entering the ventilation
system. (See Fig. 9.)
5. Connect unit drain to building’s main drain. Provide slight
slope from unit for run --off.

Fig. 8 -- Flexible Duct Fit--Up
Locate and Install Exterior Hoods
IMPORTANT: To prevent condensation problems, insulated
flexible ducts are required on both fresh--air inlet and exhaust--air
outlet ducts connecting between ERV/HRV and exterior wall.
Fresh--air intake and stale--air exhaust must be separated by at least
6 ft (1.8m). Fresh--air intake must be positioned at least 10 ft (3m)
from nearest dryer vent, furnace exhaust, driveway, gas meter, or
oil fill pipe. Fresh--air intake must be positioned as far as possible
from garbage containers and potential chemical fumes. When
possible, it is advised to locate the intake and exhaust hoods on
same side of house or building. The intake and exhaust hoods
should never be located on interior corners or in dead air pockets
(See Fig. 7). Both intake and exhaust hoods must be 18” (457mm)
from ground and at least 12” (305mm) above anticipated snow
level.
After selecting proper hood locations, make appropriate size hole
through exterior wall, pass flexible duct through hole and insert
hood tube into duct. Tape duct vapor barrier tightly around hood
tube and insert assembly back into wall and fasten securely.

Operation
The Standard and Latent wall controls have 4 basic modes of
operation, OFF, LOW, HIGH, and INTERMITTENT. Be sure that
all modes of operation are fully functional. See Table 1 indicating
standard control operation.
1. With switch off, ERV/HRV is inoperative and the LED is
out.
2. With switch on LOW, ERV/HRV continuously exchanges
air with outside. If control is satisfied, blower will run in
low speed, otherwise, blower will run on high speed. The
LED is illuminated all the time.
3. With switch on INTERMITTENT, the ERV/HRV exchanges air with outside on high--speed blower, and unit
shuts down when control is satisfied. The ON LED is illuminated all the time, and AIR EXCHANGE LED is illuminated only when unit is running.
Humidity Selector
The humidity selector is a built--in control designed to properly
control the level of humidity in the house during the winter and
summer months. This control helps avoid condensation problems
in upper northern regions where indoor humidity is a problem
during the winter season.
NOTE: This control is not to be confused with a dehumidistat
used during the summer months to control high relative indoor
humidity.
Table 2 recommends humidity levels to avoid condensation.
OneTouch Control
The OneTouch Control can be used as the primary wall control for
the ERV/HRV. This control will step through the modes of
operation with consecutive presses of the button. The LED
indicates which mode is currently selected, Off, Intermittent, Low,
or High.
NOTE: OneTouch Control does not have a humidity selector.

The ERV/HRV circuit board, wall control, and accessories operate
on 12VDC. See Wall Control section, item Wiring and Fig. 5 and
10 for more information.
WARNING
ACCESSORIES
20 Minute Timer
A push button timer can be used to override the wall control and
put the ERV/HRV into high speed for 20 minutes. Connect
switches in parallel and connect leads to ERV/HRV terminals I,
OC, and OL (See Fig. 12). Push button locations are ideal in
special activity areas, such as, bathroom, or kitchen, where
high--speed exhaust operation is needed for a short period of time.
NOTE: The 20 minute timer will not function properly unless
ERV/HRV wall control is applied and working correctly. Timing
function is internal to electronic circuit board, it is activated by a
momentary contact between OC and OL. The I connection is to
illuminate the push button. The maximum number of push button
timers that can be applied is 5.
60 Minute Adjustable Timer
A 60 minute adjustable timer can also be used to override wall
control and put HRV into high--speed operation for a select amount
of time. Connect timer in parallel with push button timers, or to
ERV/HRV terminals OC and OL. (See Fig. 12.)

BALANCING ERV/HRV
Balancing intake and exhaust airflow is very important for proper
system operation and optimum performance when applying an
ERV/HR V. Unit balancing prevents a positive and/or negative
pressure within the home. Balancing the ERV/HRV is done by
applying magnehelic gauge and using the balancing dampers at the
fresh air intake and stale air exhaust ducts. (See Fig. 13.)

Fig. 13 -- Balancing ERV/HRV
Airflow is determined by temporarily connecting a magnehelic
gauge to the pressure taps on ERV/HRV. (See Fig. 14.) Balancing
chart is located on unit door.
Fig. 14 -- Magnehelic Gauge
Fresh air flow
Exhaust air flow
A07261
A98400
Before proceeding with balancing, all windows, doors, and
fireplace flues should be tightly closed. No exhaust systems such as
range top exhausts, dryer exhaust, fume hoods, bath or roof fans
should be in operation. The forced--air furnace (if used for
circulation) should be operating in continuous fan mode for normal
operating speed.
Balancing Procedure
Step 1 — Set the unit to high speed.
Make sure that the furnace/air handler blower is ON if the
installation is in any way connected to the ductwork of the cold air
return. If not, leave furnace/air handler blower OFF. If the outside
temperature is below 32_F(0_C), make sure the unit is not running
in defrost while balancing. (By waiting 10 minutes after plugging
the unit in, you are assured that the unit is not in a defrost cycle.)
Step 2 — Magnehelic gauge placement.
Place the magnehelic gauge on a level surface and adjust it to zero.
Step 3 — Connect tubing from gauge to EXHAUST air flow pressure taps.
Be sure to connect the tubes to their appropriate high/low fittings.
(See Fig. 13.) If the gauge drops below zero, reverse the tubing
connections.
NOTE: It is suggested to start with the exhaust air flow reading
because the exhaust has typically more restriction than the fresh air,
especially in cases of fully ducted installations or source point
ventilation. Place the magnehelic gauge upright and level. Record
equivalent AIR FLOW of the reading according to the balancing
chart.
Step 4 — Move tubing to FRESH air flow
pressure taps.
Adjust the fresh air balancing damper until the fresh air flow is
approximately the same as the EXHAUST air flow. If fresh air
flow is less than exhaust air flow, then go back and adjust the
exhaust balancing damper to equal the fresh air flow. (See Fig. 13.)
Step 5 — Secure both dampers thumb screw in
place with tape.
Step 6 — Record air flow information.
Write the required air flow information on a label and stick it near
the unit for future reference (date, maximum speed air flows, your
name, phone number and business address).
NOTE: The unit is considered balanced even if there is a
difference of ±10 CFM (or ±5 l/s or 17 m3/h) between the two air
flows.
Balancing Dampers
Balancing dampers (sometimes called butterfly dampers) are
located in fresh--air intake and stale--air exhaust of the ERV/HRV.
(See Fig. 13.) Insulating over these dampers is strongly
recommended after balancing is complete to prevent condensation
problems.
ERV / HRV
If supply--air from outside is greater than exhaust--air from the
house, an imbalance can result over pressurizing the home. If
exhaust--air is greater than supply--air, combustion appliances may
backdraft, bringing exhaust fumes into the house. A balanced
condition will ensure optimum performance, provide satisfied
customers, and avoid expensive callbacks.

CONTROL BOARD OPERATION
Defrost
The ERV/HRV continually monitors the outside air temperature. If
the outside air is at or below 23°F(--5°C), the ERV/HRV will
initiate a defrost cycle by closing the outside air damper and
recirculating warm indoor air through the heat recovery core. This
happens every 32 minutes with a 6 minute defrost cycle. During
this process, core is defrosted without the use of electric strip heat.
At 5°F(--15°C), unit will defrost for 6 minutes every 32 minutes.
At -- 1 7°F(--27°C), the unit will sense a need to defrost every 20
minutes with a 6 minute cycle. See the Troubleshooting section for
a control logic explanation.
Off and Intermittent/Off Mode
When ERV/HRV is Off, K1 relay is open, and K5 relay is
energized which closes outside air damper.
High--Speed Air Exchange
When high--speed air exchange occurs, K1 and K2 relays are
energized and K5 relay is de--energized. This opens low--speed
contacts, and closes high--speed contact on K2 relay. This also
opens contact on K5 relay which opens outside air damper. Then,
115VAC is applied between orange and gray wires on Molex plug
(pins 1 and 6) and blower motor runs in high-- speed operation.
Low--Speed Air Exchange
When low--speed air exchange occurs, K1 Relay is energized
which closes the contacts. K2 and K5 relays are de--energized. This
keeps low--speed contacts closed and high--speed contacts open on
K2 relay, and opens outdoor air damper. 120VAC is applied
between Red and Gray wires on Molex plug (pins 1 and 4) and
blower motor runs in low--speed operation.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Door
ERV/HRV door can be removed by unlatching brief case style
latches, then slide door to the right and remove it from hinges.
Door must be in place and secured shut for proper operation.
Filter
Filters in ERV/HRV are washable and should be cleaned every 3
months. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove heaviest portion of
accumulated dust, then wash in lukewarm water. Allow filter to
completely dry before reinstalling. A dirty air filter will cause
excessive strain on blower motor. Never operate unit without a
filter. Vacuum out debris.
In addition, regularly check and clean screens on exterior intake
and exhaust hoods when necessary.
!
UNIT COMPONENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit component
damage.
DO NOT clean filters in a dishwasher and DO NOT dry
them with a heating appliance or permanent damage will
result.
Blower Motor and Wheel
ERV/HRV blower motors are factory lubricated for life.
Lubricating bearings is not recommended. However, inspect and
clean any accumulated dirt and grease from blower motor and
wheel annually.
Cleaning the Core
ERV is equipped with a special energy recovery core which utilizes
a special membrane and allows transfer of sensible and latent
energy. The core should always be vacuumed only every 3 months
to remove dust and dirt that could prevent transfer of energy. (See
Fig. 15 and 16.)

NOTE: The core should only be serviced when outdoor
temperature is 60°Fto75°F(16°Cto24°C) and it is dry.
!
UNIT COMPONENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
DO NOT use water to clean core or damage will result. In
addition, before servicing or removing the core inspect the
edges to see if they appear soft (or slightly expanded). This
can be normal and due to moisture in the air. DO NOT
handle or service core until it is dry or air passages can
become damaged and/or closed.
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Before installing or servicing system, always turn off main
power to system. There may be more than 1 disconnect
switch.
!
CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. Use care
and wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves when
handling parts.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: Reference Table 5 Troubleshooting Chart
This can be a quick guide in resolving unit problems. It is also
recommended to review and understand Wall Control Board
Operation and Care and Maintenance sections before continuing.
NOTE: If there is a short circuit or an open circuit at thermistor,
CPU will go into a 5 minute defrost cycle every 20 minutes. This
feature is not there on older board versions with 3 pin jumpers.
Override Test
To use override test function, a thermistor must be connected to the
control board. Unit must not be in defrost mode during an override
test.
High Speed
1. Disconnect ERV/HRV from 115VAC.
1. Unplug wall control wires at control module terminal block inside ERV/HRV.
2. Plug ERV/HRV back to 115VAC.
3. Attach a wire across J3--8 and J3--9 (B and G) on control module terminal block.
4. Close door, this will initiate a high--speed exchange.
Low Speed
1. Unplug ERV/HRV from 115VAC.
2. Disconnect wall control wires at control module terminal block
inside ERV/HRV.
3. Plug ERV/HRV back to 115VAC.
4. Connect a 3.0 K ohm resistor between B and G on control
module terminal block.
5. Close door, this will initiate a low--speed exchange.
Blower Speed Selection
Three--speed blowers are factory connected to electronic control
board on HIGH-- and LOW--speed taps of blowers. Installer can
easily change low--speed tap to medium-- speed tap so electronic
control will select between high and medium speed. Connections
can be changed at motor location.
To change low speed to medium speed, proceed as follows:
1. Unplug unit from 115VAC.
2. Locate blower assembly.
3. Locate red wire an blue wire coming from blower assembly.
4. Unplug red wire from quick connect.
5. Unplug protecting cap quick connection from blue wire and
put on red wire coming from blower. The cap is a safety insulator.
6. Connect red wire of main harness to blue wire.
7. Replace wires.
