IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL
BEFORE INSTALLING UNIT
CAUTION - Before installation, careful consideration must be given to how this system
will operate if connected to any other piece of mechanical equipment, i.e. a forced air furnace
or air handler, operating at a higher static. After installation, the compatibility of the two piec-
es of equipment must be confirmed by measuring the airflow’s of the Heat Recovery
Ventilators by using the balancing procedure found in this manual.
It is always important to assess how the operation of any HRV may interact with vented com-
bustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.).
NEVER - install a ventilator in a situation where its normal operation, lack of operation or par-
tial failure may result in the backdrafting or improper functioning of vented combustion equipment!!!
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The Best
Limited Warranty
in the Business
• The heat recovery polypropylene core has
a limited lifetime warranty.
• The motors found in all Powrmatic HRV’s
require no lubrication, and are factory
balanced to prevent vibration and promote
silent operation.
• The limited warranty covers normal use.
It does not apply to any defects,
malfunctions or failures as a result of
improper installation, abuse, mishandling,
misapplication, fortuitous occurrence or
any other circumstances outside
Powrmatic’s control.
• Inappropriate installation or
maintenance may result in the
cancellation of the warranty.

Sizing (Example) for maximum airflow normally required.
HRVs are typically sized to ventilate the whole house at a minimum of 0.35 air changes per
hour. To calculate, simply take the square footage of the house (including basement) and multiply by the height of the ceiling to get cubic volume. Then, divide by 60 and multiply by 0.35.
Example: SQFT of House 1100
Basement 1100
Total SQFT 2200
Height of ceiling x 8
Cubic volume 17600
/ 60
Maximum airflow required (CFM) 293
x 0.35

PHRVR Series
PHRVR 160 & PHRVR 210
Introducing the NEW PHRVR series of Heat Recovery
Ventilators (HRV) by Powrmatic. Incoming fresh outdoor air
is filtered before it is heated by the stale outgoing air
through a polypropylene heat recovery core. The HRV then
distributes the preheated fresh filtered air throughout the
home by direct ductwork installed specifically for the HRV or
through the ductwork of a forced-air system.
SPECIFICATIONS

DEFROST A preset 5 minute defrost sequence is activated at
an outdoor air temperature of 23ÞF (-5ÞC) and lower.
During the defrost sequence, its mechanism uses a
motorized damper to temporarily block the incoming fresh
air stream allowing the warm air from the home to circulate
through the HRV. The exhaust blower shuts down & the
supply blower switches into high speed to maximize the
effectiveness of the defrost strategy.
The unit then returns to normal operation for 25 minutes,
and continues cycle.
SERVICEABILITY Core, filters, motors and drain pan can be
easily service d thr ough lat ched acc ess d oor. Core
conveniently slides out with ease on an improved railing
system. Electrical box, placed on the outside of the unit,
can also be easily accessed.
