4. TYPICAL INSTALLATION There are three common installation methods. 4.1 FULLY DUCTED SYSTEM (Primarily for homes with radiant hot water or electric baseboard heating. See Figure at right.) Moist, stale air is exhausted from the high humidity areas in the home, such as bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room. Fresh air is supplied to bedrooms and principal living areas. If required, bathroom fans and a range hood may be used to better exhaust stale air.
5. INSTALLATION ! WARNING When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive installation and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this document and the installer agrees to conform to these at his own expenses. ! WARNING When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves. INSPECTING THE BOX CONTENT • Inspect the exterior of the unit for shipping damage.
5. INSTALLATION (CONT'D) 5.3 CALCULATING DUCT SIZE Use the table below to ensure that the ducts you intend to install will be carrying air flows at or under the recommended values. Avoid installing ducts that will have to carry air flows near the maximum values and never install a duct if its air flow exceeds the maximum value.
5. INSTALLATION (CONT'D) 5.4 INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK AND REGISTERS ! WARNING Never install a stale air exhaust register in a room where a combustion device is, such as a gas furnace or a gas water heater or a fireplace. CAUTION The ductwork is intended to be installed in compliance with all applicable codes. 5.4.1 FULLY DUCTED SYSTEM (AS ILLUSTRATED IN SECTION 4.1) Stale air exhaust ductwork: • Install registers in areas where contaminants are produced: kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, etc.
5. INSTALLATION (CONT'D) 5.4 INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK AND REGISTERS (CONT'D) 5.4.3 SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION (VOLUME VENTILATION) (AS ILLUSTRATED IN SECTION 4.3) ! WARNING When performing duct connection to the furnace, installation must be done in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Please refer to your local building code. CAUTION When performing connection to the furnace ducts (Method 1), these ducts must be sized to support the additional airflow produced by the HRV/ERV.
5. INSTALLATION (CONT'D) 5.5 CONNECTING DUCTS TO THE UNIT Insulated flexible duct: Use the following procedure for connecting the insulated flexible duct to the ports on the unit (exhaust to outside and fresh air from outside). a) Pull back the insulation to expose the flexible duct. b) Connect the interior flexible duct to the port using a duct tie. c) Carefully seal the connection with duct tape. d) Pull the insulation over the joint and tuck it between the inner and outer rings of the double collar.
5. INSTALLATION (CONT'D) 5.6 INSTALLING THE EXTERIOR HOODS CAUTION All models require an exhaust hood with a backdraft damper. This damper closes when the unit is off and prevents unwanted cold air from entering the house. 6" (152 MM) EXHAUST HOOD OPTIONAL DUCT LOCATION INTAKE HOOD 18" (457 MM) Choose an appropriate location to install the exterior hoods: • There must be a minimum distance of 6' (1.8 m) between the hoods to avoid cross-contamination 18" (457 MM) 6' (1.8 M) 6' (1.

Strip the end of each wire. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, connect each wire to its corresponding terminal on the back of the wall control: YELLOW wire to “Y”, RED wire to “R”, GREEN wire to “G” and BLACK wire to “B”. 1. Cut a 27∕8" x 1³∕8" hole in wall at a convenient location for the wall control.

7. INSTALLATION OF THE CONTROLS (CONT'D) 7.4 ELECTRICAL 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 system: On some older thermostat, energizing the “R” and “G” terminals at the furnace has the effect of energizing “Y” terminal at the thermostat and thereby turning on the cooling system.
ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY T1 W BK 8 7 GY BK O R NOTES 1- Controls available. See Section 7 (Low voltage only, 12 VDC). 2- The factory set wiring for blower speed selection is high and low. Medium speed can be selected instead of low speed. Disconnect the RED wire from the motor RED tap and connect it to the motor BLUE tap. 3- If any of the original wire, as supplied, must be replaced, use the same or equivalent wire. 4- Use the factory supplied protective tubing.

12. TROUBLESHOOTING If the unit does not work properly, reset the unit by unplugging it for one minute and then replug it. If it is still not working properly, refer to table below. NOTE: Inspect the unit before proceeding with these steps. PROBLEMS POSSIBLE CAUSES The error code E1 is displayed on Platinum or Deco-Touch wall control screen. • The wires may be in reverse position. • Ensure that the color coded wires have been connected to their appropriate places. • The wires may be broken.
12. TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT'D) PROBLEMS POSSIBLE CAUSES YOU SOULD TRY THIS • Unplug the unit. Disconnect the main control and the optional control(s) (if need be). Jump the OL and OC terminals. Plug the unit. If the unit switches to high speed, replace the switch The 20-minute push-button • The switch may be defective. or the 20/40/60-minute push-button timer does not work OR its indicator light does not stay on.
