two pieces of equipment must be confirmed by measuring the airflow’s of the Air Exchange
Ventilator by using the balancing procedure found in this manual.
It is always important to assess how the operation of any AEV may interact with vented
combustion 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 partial failure may result in the backdrafting or improper functioning of vented combustion equipment!!!

Sizining (Example) for maximum airflow normally required.
AEV’s are typicaly sized to be able to ventilate the whole house at a maximum of 1/3 of an
air change per hour.To calculate this simply take the square footage of the home (including
basement)
multiply by the height of the ceiling to get cubic volume,and then multiply that by .005.
Example: SQFT of House 1100
Basement 1100
Total SQFT 2200
Height of ceiling x 8
Cubic volume 17600
x .005
Maximum airflow required (CFM) 88
* Always consult your local code for sizing requirements in your area.

Components
CASE - 22 gauge galvanized steel with powder coat paint, lined with strong top
quality insulation.
FILTER - Synthetic high quality filter for better indoor air quality and clean air .
UNIT CONTROLS - Case mounted rocker switches provide the following functions.
ON/OFF switch is to engage the operations of the ventilation system.
At OFF position,the system can still achieve high speed from the
remote dehumidistat or optional timer switch.LOW/MED switch is to
control the continuous ventilation mode. At LOW speed, the system
will be operating at its lowest ventilation requirement.At MED speed,
the system will operate to meet building codes requirements according
to sizing and design conditions.
REMOTE OVERRIDE -24 volts (low voltage) remote switching circuit for high speed
operation to reduce the humidity level in the dwelling.This is archieved
by a dehumidistat,an optional timer switch or any indoor air quality
(IAQ) remote sensor
BLOWERS - The motors are factory-balanced to prevent vibrations,providing
greater comfort without noise pollution.
-Fans equipped with motors of insulation class “B”
- The motors are completely sealed , keeping out moisture, dust and
lint.
- The motors feature maintance-free bearings and are the most
dependable and efficient on the market.
- Built-in thermocontact prevents overheating
- Increased corrision protection

OPERATION
An Air Exchanger Ventilator (AEV) is designed to provide fresh air into a building while exhausting an equal amount of stale air.
During the winter months,the incoming cold fresh air is warmed by mixing it with return air before it is supplied to the home.
During summer months when the indoor space is air conditioned,the AEV will help in cooling the incoming fresh air with the
stale air that is being exhausted.
Fantech AEV’s are designed to run continuous or on intermittent,giving the homeowner complete control over their air quality.
Continuous low speed ventilation is recommended,which will help eliminate carbon dioxide, voc’s and other gases as well as
freshen up the home.Intermittent high speed ventilation can be obtained through a variety of optional remote controls found in
this manual (page 3 ).Below are some examples of seasonal operation of an AEV.
Winter:
Humidity control is very important during the winter months. This is when problems will be most apparent since
condensation on the windows will often occur. The colder the outside temperature,the greater the risk of condensation in the home.The average relative humidity should be maintained between (30-60) to avoid condensation.Low speed continuous ventilation with high speed override is recommended.
Spring:
Temperatures are more moderate and become warmer each day. To keep the humidity and temperature uniform,
set the dehumidistat higher and the switch on the AEV to standby.
Summer:
The air is sometimes hot and humid. To stop the warm humid air from entering,set the dehumidistat at its highest level and the switch on the AEV to standby.
Fall:
Rain and rapid temperature changes make it difficult to control the internal humidity level and may result in condensation on the windows.A remote dehumidistat may help give greater control over the inside environment.
NOTE:Some products may not be exactly as illustrated in the Installation,Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Fantech Inc. reserves the right to modify,at any time and without notice, any or all of its products’ features,designs, components
and specifications,to maintain their technological leadership position.

PRACTICAL
TIPS
To avoid window
condensation:
• It is not necessary to change
the humidity control every
day.Monitor the average
weekly temperature or
experiment with various
settings until you find a level
that is comfortable for you.
Adjust the control when
needed.
Dehumidistat I
The wall mount dehumidistat monitors the humidity level in
the area it is installed.When the humidity level rises above the
desired set-point, the AEV will activate to high speed/override
mode. Once the humidity level returns to desired condition,
the unit will return to the normal mode.
2 low voltage wires required for operation.
Air Quality Sensor
The wall mount Air Quality Sensor (AQS) monitors indoor
air quality and activates the override mode when carbon
monoxide,formaldehyde,benzene, volatile organic
compounds and other pollutants are detected. The unit will
then return to normal mode once the air pollutants are
reduced to a pre-determined lower level.
Three low voltage wires are required for operation with
transformer
* This control is not a warning device.
* All controls are low voltage. 18 to 24 gauge wire is recommended.
