INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

SER 1504, SER 1504N, SER 2004, SER 2004N, SER 3204D & SER 3204N

Your ventilation system should be installed in conformance with the appropriate state requirements or in the absence of such requirements ASHRAE’s “ Good Engineering Practices”.

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 pieces of equipment must be confirmed by measuring the airflow’s of the Energy Recovery Ventilators by using the balancing procedure found in this manual.It is always important to assess how the operation of any ERV 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!!!

The Best Limited Warranty in the Business

• The energy recovery enthalpic core has a limited 5 year war

ranty.

• The motors found in all Fantech ERV’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, unfortuitous occurrence or any other circumstances outside Fantech’s control.

• Inappropriate installation or maintenance may result in the cancellation of the warranty.

• Any unauthorized work will result in the cancellation of the warranty.

• Fantech is not responsible for any incidental or consequential damages incurred in the use of the ventilation system.

• Fantech is not responsible for providing an authorized service centre near the purchaser or in the general area.

• Fantech reserves the right to supply refurbished parts as replacements.

• Transportation, removal and installation fees are the responsibility of the purchaser.

• The purchaser is responsible to adhering to all codes in effect in his area.

• The warranty is limited to 5 years on par

ts and 7 years on the motor from the date of purchase, including parts replaced during this time period. If there is no proof of purchase available, the date associated with the serial number will be used for the beginning of the warranty period.

* This warranty is the exclusive and only

warranty in effect relative to the ventilation system and all other warranties either expressed or implied are invalid.

Sizing (Example) for maximum airflow normally required.

ERVs 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: Sq Ft of House 1100

Basement 1100 (if applicable)

Total Sq Ft 2200

Height of ceiling x 8

Cubic volume 17600

/ 60

Maximum airflow required (CFM) 293

x 0.35

103

* Always consult your local code for sizing requirements in your area.

PORT SELECTION (Reversing Unit) Units are shipped indicating airflow (see "Dimensions & Airflow" on next page). These ports can be selected on site by the installer and changed around as needed. IE "Exhaust Air From Building" could be changed to "Air From Outside" and "Exhaust To Outside" switched to "Air To Building". The same is true for the other ports. This gives the installer greater flexibility in placement of the unit and ductwork.

INSTALLATION Unit is typically hung by using installation kit supplied with unit. Mounting bolts provided on top four (4) corners of unit.

SERVICEABILITY Core, filters, and motors can be easily serviced through latched access door. 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.

NOTE This model is not recommended for climates that experience temperatures below 23˚F (-5˚C) for more than 2 consecutive days.
