PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Application
The Fresh Air Ventilation System is designed to supply fresh
air and exhaust stale air. The system draws fresh outdoor air
through the ventilator for distribution throughout the house.
Stale air is exhausted through the ventilator and to the
outdoors. Heat is transferred from one airstream to the other
as the air passes through the opposite sides of the heat
transfer core. See Fig. 4.

Sizing
There are several methods that can provide satisfactory
results for sizing a ventilator to provide adequate ventilation
for a home. The ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 Ventilation for
Acceptable Indoor Air Quality suggests the following:
— .35 air changes per hour (ach) but not less than 15 cfm per
person for living areas = house size (sq ft) • ceiling height
(ft) / 60 (min) •.35 (ach)
Example:
= 2000 sq ft • 8 ft / 60 min •.35 ach = 93 cfm
— 50 cfm intermittent or 20 cfm continuous capacity for
— 100 cfm intermittent or 25 cfm continuous capacity for
kitchens

OUTSIDE
FRESH
AIR TO
HOUSE
M6553B
Option 2: Fresh Air Ventilation System provides continuous
93 cfm fresh air supply, 150 cfm intermittent exhaust capacity
for bathrooms and continuous 50 cfm kitchen ventilation.
Supply air flow required = 93 cfm
Exhaust air flow required = 200 cfm
Honeywell HR200/ER200 have the exhaust capacity required
to meet the ventilation needs of this application. See Fig. 1.
Mounting Position and Location
The HR150/ER150, HR200/ER200 and HR205 can be
suspended from exposed ceiling joists, ceiling surface or floor
mounted. (Level ventilator so drains function correctly.)
NOTE: ER150C and ER200C are specifically designed for
installations in unconditioned spaces such as attics
and garages. (These units are not equipped with
drain kits.)
• Locate fresh air intake 6 ft (2m) or more from stale air
exhaust to prevent exhaust air from re-entering.
• Locate ventilator where length of ducting required is
minimal.
Install HR150/ER150, HR200/ER200 and HR205 in a
conditioned space using these guidelines:
• Pipe drain line (ER150C and ER300C do not have drain
kits) from the ventilator to a drain.
• Use an existing electrical outlet with appropriate current
rating (or install one) close to ventilator power cord.
• Allow space for drain line by placing the ventilator at least
10 in. (254 mm) off the floor.
• For access and removal of ventilator core, allow at least
25 in. (635 mm) of open space in front of unit.
Ducting
Ducting between the ventilator and the outdoors must be
insulated and have a continuous air vapor barrier. See Fig. 5.
IMPORTANT
All ducting to the outdoors must be terminated above
anticipated snow lines and be fitted with a weather
cap that incorporates bird screening.
Option 1: Fresh Air Ventilation System provides continuous
fresh air supply of 93 cfm, and intermittent capacity for
bathrooms of 150 cfm. A separate 100 cfm exhaust fan is
used for the range hood.
Supply air flow required = 93 cfm
Exhaust air flow required = 150 cfm
Any Honeywell ventilation unit provides suitable ventilation
capacity. See Fig. 1.
Design and installation of ductwork must be according to
standard HVAC practice to deliver required quantities of fresh
air to temperature-controlled space and exhaust equivalent
quantities of room air to the outside.

A
Keep intake and exhaust duct runs as short as possible with
few bends or elbows.
• Keep duct sizes as large as possible throughout the
installation.
• Use a 6 in. diameter round duct for all connections to and
from the ventilator.
• Separate outside intake and exhaust vents by at least
6 ft (2m).
NOTES:
—Do not locate the fresh air vent where it blows
directly onto occupants or the thermostat.
—Do not locate the fresh air intake close to known
sources of pollutants such as automobile exhaust,
a dryer vent or chimney smoke.
• Ducting the supply outlet and/or the exhaust inlet of the
ventilator to the return air plenum of the air handler is an
excellent way to distribute fresh air and exhaust stale air
from all parts of the house, while reducing installation
OUTDOORS
costs. When choosing this method, balance the ventilator
when the air handler is running and interlock the ventilator
so that it can run only when the air handler runs. See
Fig. 6. An alternate method is to balance the ventilator
when the air handler is not running and let the ventilator
run whether the air handler is running or not, see Fig. 7. An
independent installation is shown in Fig. 8.
NOTE: When the home is occupied, continuous operation of
the ventilator is recommended. When the furnace air
handler operates, fresh air is distributed through the
heating/air conditioning supply registers. When the
air handler is off, fresh air is delivered through both
supplies and returns.
• An electrical interlock or an automatically powered damper
must be used to prevent unwanted entry of outside air if the
ventilator is turned off while the furnace air handler
continues to operate.

Balancing Airflow
Balancing the airflow verifies that the Fresh Air Ventilation
System is delivering the intended airflow and energy
performance. Use the Airflow Balancing instructions in the
Installation section to check and balance the airflow.
Controls
Remote Override Switch Functions On/Off Control
If continuous ventilation is not required, an on/off control can
be used to activate the ventilator when it is switched to
Standby. Controls that can be used for this function include
dehumidistats, timers, wall switches and the ventilate function
of the Perfect Climate Comfort Center™. If moisture control in
bathrooms is a primary function of the system, a dehumidistat
can be used to switch the ventilator from a Low or Standby
setting to the High setting. Moisture removal throughout the
entire home can only be achieved when the outside air
contains less moisture than the inside air (typically during cold
weather conditions).
The Perfect Climate Comfort Center™ can automatically
control the ventilator by using the programmed times or
manually control it by pressing the Ventilate button on the
keypad. See the Perfect Climate Comfort Center™ Users
Guide, form 69-0893, for complete instructions.
Digital Fan Timer
The ventilator controls are compatible with the Digital Fan
Timer. If more than one timer is activated, each runs
independently with the ventilator running at high speed until all
timers have timed out. Up to four timers can be installed in a
system. For complete instructions on the operation of the
Digital Fan Timer, refer to the instructions packed with the
timer.
INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product…
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these
instructions could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.
2. Check the ratings on the product to make sure the product is suitable for your application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product operation as provided in these instructions.
CAUTION
Electrical shock hazard.
Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical shock or
equipment damage.
Unpacking Fresh Air Ventilation System
Check that all the components are included. The Fresh Air
Ventilation System is shipped assembled. The carton contains
the following:
• Fresh Air Ventilation System.
• Vibration isolation straps (4).
• Drain fittings (2) and T fitting (1).
• Literature package.
Except for the mounting hardware and drain fittings, the
ventilator is ready for installation. Wiring, drain connections
and ducting are required to complete the installation.
Mounting
Moisture Control
When a building is new, there is excess moisture in the wood,
plaster, cement and other construction materials. When the
new building is occupied, the activities of the occupants also
increase the moisture level. There can also be high levels of
formaldehyde and other chemicals that were used in the
building materials. Running the ventilation system on high
speed provides optimum indoor air pollutant reduction. High
speed also provides maximum moisture removal when the
outside air contains less moisture than the inside air.
(Typically during cold weather conditions.)
Operating Damper Frost Control
Some models have an electronically-controlled damper frost
control mechanism. When the outside temperature drops
below 27°F (-3°C), the defrost timer is activated. At the end of
the 17 minute run cycle, when the core can experience some
nominal frost buildup, the timer activates a motor-driven
damper door that simultaneously opens the defrost port and
closes off the supply air port. On the HR205, exhaust air is
used for defrost. At the end of the 4.5 minute defrost cycle, the
damper operates in the opposite direction and ventilation is
resumed. The cycles continue until the outdoor temperature
rises above the defrost temperature.
Suspended from Floor Joists
1. Mount the four vibration isolation straps (provided) to
the side of the ventilator using the mounting screws
located on the cabinet. See Fig. 2 and 3.
2. Securely fasten the other ends of the straps to the floor
joists with wide-head nails (not supplied), making sure
the unit is level. The straps are designed to reduce
noise, resonance or harmonics; therefore, using the full
length of the strap between the ventilator and the floor
joists is recommended.
NOTE: Removing door and core reduces the weight of
the ventilator, making it easier to lift into place.
Floor Mounting
The mounting hardware included is not needed for floor
mounting.
1. Use 2 x 4 in. wood pieces to build a frame to support the
ventilator along the bottom edge. The frame must hold
the ventilator at least 10 in. up from the floor to allow
clearance for the drain line.
2. Set the frame back approximately 2 in. from the frontedge to avoid interference with the hinged door.
3. Place the ventilator on the frame. Secure the ventilator
to the frame using screws and a strip of wood or metal;
screw into the side walls of the ventilator within 1 in. of
the bottom.

CAUTION
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause personal injury.
Be sure ventilator is correctly grounded.
Confirm polarity of power line switched with safety
(disconnect) switch when cleaning or servicing unit.
IMPORTANT
The hot line (black) is the correct line to switch. See
Fig. 11. To confirm correct polarity, use voltmeter or
test lamp to verify there is no power after the switch
when the door is open. Check between that point
and ground (on cabinet). This process must be used
because occasionally some dwellings are incorrectly
wired.
Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) and Energy
Recovery Ventilator (ERV) Connections
The connector is a three-prong, 120 Vac plug with ground. If
further wiring is required, Honeywell recommends that a
licensed electrician make all electrical connections. It is very
important that the unit be correctly grounded.

Airflow Balancing
Volume-balanced airflow in the ventilator is required. Volume
of outside air brought in must equal the volume of air the unit
exhausts. If airflow is not correctly balanced:
• unit does not operate at its maximum efficiency.
• negative or positive air pressure can occur in the house.
• unit will not defrost properly.
• warranty can be voided.
Excessive positive pressure can drive moist indoor air into
building external walls where it can condense (in cold
weather) and degrade structural components. Moist indoor air
can also cause keyholes to freeze.

Excessive negative pressure can have several undesirable
side effects; in some geographic locations, soil gases such as
methane and radon can be drawn into the home through
basement/ground contact areas. Excessive negative pressure
can also cause back drafting of vented combustion equipment
when adequate combustion air supply is not provided.
Balancing Procedure
Six-inch (150 mm) diameter flow collars connected to inclined
or digital manometer, or magnehelic, with range of 0 to.25 in.
(0 to 62.5 Pa) of water are recommended for accurate airflow
measurements. To avoid airflow turbulence and incorrect
readings, flow stations should be located at a distant point of
at least five duct diameters; for example, 6 in. (150 mm) duct
requires five diameters x 6 in. (150 mm) = 30 in. (76 cm) from
nearest valve or flow restriction. This requirement applies to
both stale air to exchanger duct and fresh air to house duct.
Before balancing, make sure:
• all sealing of the ductwork system is completed.
• all of the ventilator system components are in place and
functioning properly.
• balancing dampers are fully open.
• unit is on High speed.
• airflows in branch lines to specific areas of house are
adjusted before balancing the unit. (A smoke pencil used at
the grilles is a good indicator of relative airflow for each
branch line.)
After taking readings in stale air and fresh air ducts, duct with
lower cfm (L/s) velocity reading should remain as is, while
duct with higher reading should be dampered back to match
lower reading. See Fig. 12.
Return unit to appropriate fan speed for normal operation.
STARTUP AND CHECKOUT
After installation is complete, check to be sure system is
working correctly. On units with microprocessor control, select
ventilation speed by touching fan control pad on base module
until desired speed is indicated. On units with manual control,
turn speed selection knob to desired speed. Activate two-wire
control devices in system to make sure devices switch
ventilator to High speed. For operating instructions, see
instructions packed with digital fan timer. Leave instructions
with homeowner.

SERVICE
CAUTION
Electrical shock hazard.
Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Disconnect power to unit before starting maintenance.
For maximum efficiency, the Fresh Air Ventilation System
must be maintained on a regular basis. Honeywell recommends checking and cleaning at least twice a year, preferably
at the beginning of each heating and cooling season.
Cleaning Filters and Core
HR150, HR200 AND HR205 MODELS
Remove the room air filter, fresh air filter and heat transfer
core from the ventilator as a unit.
1. Open ventilator door by loosening draw latches on top
of unit and swinging door open. For easier access,
remove door by moving it right to disengage hinges.
2. Carefully grip ends of core, (be careful not to damage
aluminum fins); then pull evenly outward. Core fits
tightly, but slides out of channels.
3. Once core is removed, filters can be removed by removing clips holding them in place. Note clip installation for
reassembly.
4. Wash the filters and the core in warm soapy water. Do
not wash them in a dishwasher.
5. Place the clean filter (wet or dry) over the core and
secure it in place with the clips.
6. Reinstall core by sliding it into the four corner channels.
(Water cannot damage gasket and label on core ends,
so it is not necessary to remove them from the core.)
ER150 AND ER200 MODELS
1. Open access door, carefully grip core ends and pull it
out evenly. Core fits tightly but slides out of cabinet.
2. Remove filter clip, remove filters from core and rinse
filters with water or a combination of soap and water. Do
not clean in a dishwasher.
3. With filters removed, clean core with a vacuum cleaner.
Vacuum only filter sides of core to pull dirt back out of
core and not through it.
4. Reinstall clean filter and reattach retaining clip.
5. Reinstall clean core.

Inspecting Exterior Hoods
Inspect exterior hoods at least monthly. Be sure exhaust and
fresh air supply hoods are not blocked or restricted by leaves,
grass or snow. In winter, be sure snow does not block hoods
and frost does not accumulate on wire mesh bird screen.
IMPORTANT
Blocked hoods can cause house/building pressure
change that can lead to possible combustion product
spillage from heating appliances.
