CONTROL
Healthy Home System™ Control
The heart and brains of the Healthy
Home System
The Healthy Home System Control intelligently manages
the central fan to maximize the benefits of the Healthy
Home System.
It’s the easiest, most cost effective way to ensure the air in
the home is FRESH, CLEAN, and PURE...even when not
heating or cooling.
How It Works
Other clean air systems only work
when the furnace or air conditioner are
operating. The Healthy Home System
Control monitors the central fan activity
and engages the fan on a regular schedule to keep air that
is fresh, clean, and pure circulating throughout the entire
home even during times when not heating and cooling. The
Healthy Home System Control is set by the contractor and
works independently of the thermostat, providing better
control and more consistent operation.
Healthy Home System™ Control
FRESH
Fresh Air Ventilation
The Healthy Home System is a network of components that
tie into the existing HVAC ductwork, utilizing the central
system fan to keep the air in the home Fresh, Clean, and
Pure. The network and central fan are activated by the
Healthy Home System Control.
Tempered fresh air is brought into the home as needed via
the Fresh Air Damper. When there is a call for fresh air,
the controller opens the damper and engages the central
fan to pull fresh air into the return air system. It is mixed
with heated/cooled air, filtered, purified, and distributed
throughout the home.
The Media Air Cleaner is a super efficient filter that traps
dust, pollen, and dander as small as 1.0 micron.
The UV-Aire zaps airborne invaders including bacteria,
viruses, mold and dust mites. The UV-Aire also keeps the air
conditioning coil free of mold, improving appliance efficiency
as well as air quality.

FRESH
Fresh Air Damper
Weatherization efforts to make homes more energy
efficient can often lead to inefficiency and compromised
air quality. Weather stripping, caulk, sealants and moisture
barriers such as Tyvek® tighten the home and reduce air
changes and air quality. When a home can’t breathe,
laundry dryers, range hood fans, bathroom fans and
heating appliances take more time to do their jobs, wasting
precious energy. As part of the Healthy Home System, the
fresh air damper works with the Healthy Home System
Control to provide FRESH air in the home all year round...
even when not heating or cooling.
To address indoor air quality, fresh air ventilation is
recommended by HVAC engineers and is prescribed in
ASHRAE standard 62.2. In many states, fresh air ventilation
is required to meet building codes for new construction or
to obtain energy tax credits in existing homes.
The Fresh Air Damper from Field Controls meets these
requirements by delivering fresh air automatically and
efficiently. The FAD includes proven components for simple,
reliable, fresh air delivery for improved indoor air quality.
Benefits
• Delivers fresh air automatically, year round
• Enables system to meet ASHRAE 62.2
ventilation standard for fresh air
• Creates uniform temperature and humidity
throughout the home
• Enhances effectiveness of whole house
filtration and air purification
The Healthy Home System™ Control
intelligently manages the central fan,
allowing the Fresh Air Damper to provide
FRESH air in the home all year round...
even when not heating or cooling.
The Fresh Air Damper
Features
• Durable, stainless steel construction
• Energy efficient operation
• Reliable, proven design
How It Works
Our Fresh Air Damper remains closed until instructed
to open by the Healthy Home System Control. It
then opens to allow fresh air to be pulled into the
return plenum where it is mixed with conditioned air,
filtered, and distributed to the rest of the house.
The Fresh Air System FAS-1 combines the Healthy
Home System™ Control with the 6” Fresh Air
Damper FAD-6. Other damper sizes are available.

CLEAN
Media Air Cleaner™
The Media Air Cleaner is a whole house air filtration
system that combines minimum maintenance with
maximum air cleaning capacity. As part of the Healthy
Home System, the media air cleaner works with the
Healthy Home System Control to CLEAN the air in the
home all year round...even when not heating or cooling.
Whole house air filtration
Field Controls Media Air Cleaners install in the return
duct of virtually any forced air heating or cooling
system...gas, oil or electric. As air flows through the
system, the Media Air Cleaner traps particles as small as
1.0 micron*, including pollen, dust, and dander.
High capacity
Minimum resistance
Field Controls MERV** pleated media filter contains
enough air cleaning capacity to clean air for months
without restricting air flow or putting a strain on the air
handling system. Our filter media is electrostatically
“supercharged” for better efficiency and longer service
life. It is moisture resistant and will not support the
growth of bacteria or other microbes.

prior to the furnace and air handler. As air passes
through the system, airborne particles are trapped
within the filter media.
Unlike traditional filters, our Media Air Cleaner is
able to trap up to 100 times more while maintaining
efficiency and arrestance ratings in compliance with
ASHRAE Standard 52.2.
The Healthy Home System™ Control

How it works
UV-Aire uses the energy from a specially designed, highintensity UV-C lamp to reduce microorganisms in the entire
home as they cycle through the HVAC system. Mounted
inside the duct work, the UV-Aire sterilizes or kills most
contaminants as they pass the lamp.
The process requires very little maintenance and costs just
pennies a day to operate. The UV-Aire could be one of the
best health and comfort investments a homeowner
ever makes.
UV’s effectiveness in killing bacteria is directly related to
the microorganism’s exposure time. Indoor air in a typical
residential forced-air HVAC system will be recirculated 40-75
times a day. With a UV generating lamp mounted in the
HVAC duct, cumulative exposure can be very effective in
controlling indoor bacteria and other airborne contaminants.
UV rays will also kill germs and mold that breed in drain
pans and A-coils. Properly positioned, an ultraviolet system
can significantly reduce indoor air contamination and
prevent the growth of new microorganisms.
Installation Options
The UV-Aire can be installed in ducts nine inches and larger.
Each unit comes with a duct board mounting kit and a
patented angle bracket. A dual lamp model is available for
commercial applications and/or increased potency. There
is also a model designed specifically for heat pumps and a
model for outdoor installations.
The Healthy Home System™ Control
intelligently manages the central fan,
allowing the UV-Aire to ensure PURE
air in the home all year round...even
when not heating or cooling.

and effectiveness of the UV-Aire. For complete details,

Eliminator® Foundation Vent Fan
Eliminate moisture in crawl spaces
The Eliminator Foundation Vent Fan is a motorized fan
designed to circulate fresh air in a home or building
crawl space to eliminate cancer-causing radon gas and
reduce moisture that can lead to mold formation and
termite infestation. It is wired for automatic operation
when the temperature exceeds 50º F. An optional
de-humidistat activates the fan when humidity exceeds
the owner-determined setting (20%–80%) in conjunction
with the built-in temperature control.
SmartExhaust™
How it works
The SmartExhaust™ is set by the installer to
automatically turn the fan on once per hour for a set
amount of time (1-60 minutes). While running, the
SmartExhaust is sending stale air outside. The stale
air is replaced by fresh air via a Fresh Air System, a
Make-Up Air System, or another inlet. When the fan
is turned on manually, the SmartExhaust automatically
counts that time used and deducts it from the amount
scheduled for that hour.

To maintain maximum benefits, lamps should be replaced annually.
It is important that lamps be replaced when the ultraviolet output falls
below minimum requirements for protection. Even though a lamp will
appear to be operating effectively because it still maintains the visible
blue glow, the ultraviolet output will be significantly reduced after
9000 hours of use.
