1. USING THIS UNIT

CAUTION

Before using this unit for the first time, please take the time to carefully read page 2 of this guide to ensure it is used safely and properly.

1.1 YOUR VENTILATION SYSTEM

This unit is designed to provide fresh air to your home while exhausting stale, humid air. By eliminating accumulated pollutants and humidity, it maintains an optimum air quality and an ideal relative humidity. It is equipped with a recovery core that is designed specifically to control excess humidity and reduce ventilation costs by recovering the heat or energy from the exhausted air, and using that same heat or energy to warm the fresh air being supplied. This recovery process is accomplished in such a way that the stale air is never mixed with the fresh air.

When the outdoor temperature is below -5°C (23°F), recovery creates frost in the module. To maintain proper operation, the unit is programed to defrost the recovery module. The defrost duration and frequency vary according to the outdoor temperature. After defrosting, the unit returns to the operating mode selected by the user.

1.2 INTEGRATED CONTROL

Unit Booting Sequence

The unit’s booting sequence is similar to a personal computer’s booting sequence. Each time the unit is plugged in after being unplugged, or after a power failure, it will perform a 30-second booting sequence before starting to operate. No command will be taken until the

unit is fully booted.

This unit is equipped with an integrated control, located on its electrical compartment.

• Use the integrated push-button to go from OFF to Low Speed, to High Speed, and back to OFF.

• The color of the LED indicator shows what speed the unit is running in:

LED COLOR RESULTS

AMBER Unit is in Low speed GREEN Unit is in High speed

NO LIGHT

Unit is OFF or controlled

by a main control

For more convenience, this unit can also be controlled using an optional wall control. When using an optional

main control, unit must be set to OFF using the integrated control.

For more information about their operation modes refer to the Main and auxiliary wall control User Guide, included with the ventilation unit and also available at www.vanee.ca or www.venmar.ca.

8. CONNECTION TO THE FURNACE

⚠WARNING

Never connect a 120-volt AC circuit to the terminals of the furnace interlock (standard wiring). Only use the low voltage class 2 circuit of the furnace blower control.

FOR A FURNACE CONNECTED TO A COOLING SYSTE M:

On some older thermostats, energizing the “R” and “G” terminals at the furnace has the effect of energizing “Y” at the thermostat and thereby turning on the cooling system. If you identify this type of thermostat, you must use the

9. BALANCING THE UNIT

PREPARATION

Follow these steps to ensure accurate measurements:

• Seal all the ductwork with tape. Close all windows and doors.

• Turn off all exhaust devices such as range hood, dryer and bathroom fans.

• Make sure the balancing dampers are fully open.

• If the installation is in any way connected to the ductwork of the cold air return of a furnace/air handler, make sure that the furnace/

air handler blower is ON. If not, leave furnace/air handler blower OFF.

• If the outside temperature is below 0°C/32°F, make sure the unit is not running in defrost while balancing by waiting 10 minutes after

plugging the unit in.

• Set the unit to high speed.

BALANCING PROCEDURE

1. Place the magnehelic gauge on a level surface and adjust it to zero.

2. Connect tubing from gauge to EXHAUST airflow pressure taps (see diagram on unit door).

3. Be sure to connect the tubes to their appropriate high/low fittings. If the gauge drops below

zero, reverse the tubing connections.

4. Note the CFM value from balancing chart on the unit.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, but to FRESH airflow pressure taps.

6. Using the appropriate adjustable balancing damper, lower the highest value so it matches

the lowest value. A difference up to ±10cfm is acceptable.

7. Secure both dampers in place with a fastening screw (included in the hardware kit).

8. Write the required airflow information on a label and stick it near the unit for future reference (date, maximum speed air flows, your

name, phone number and business address).
