For the Installer
⚠WARNING
Always disconnect the unit before making any connections. Failure in disconnecting power could result in electrical
shock or damage of the wall control or electronic module inside the unit.
CAUTION
Never install more than one optional main wall control per unit. Make sure that the wires do not short-circuit
between themselves or by touching any other components on the wall control. Avoid poor wiring connections. To
reduce electrical interference (noise) potential, do not run wall control wiring next to control contactors or near
light dimming circuits, electrical motors, dwelling/building power or lighting wiring, or power distribution panel.
•
• Use the terminal connector included in the installation kit to perform the electrical connection for main
and optional wall controls.
• Make sure all wires are correctly inserted in their corresponding holes in the terminal block. A wire is
correctly inserted when its orange receptacle is lower than another one without wire. On the picture
below, wire A is correctly inserted, but wire B is not.
• Once the connections have been made, insert the terminal connector in the recessed side of the
electrical compartment.

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 (both balancing damper tools are set vertical).
• 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 ±10cfm
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).
