installation type
1. Furnace blower must operate when ventilation from HRV is required. The furnace should
be set to run continuously or interlocked with HRV. See furnace electrical connection
on page 15.
2. A minimum separation of 1m (39’’) is recommended between the two direct
connections.
3. In order to prevent exhausting any fresh air, the HRV’s exhaust air connection should be
upstream of the HRV’s supply air connection when ducting to the furnace’s cold air return.
4. Due to the difference in pressure between the HRV and the equipment it is being
connected to the HRV’s airflow must be balanced on site, using the procedure found in
the section “AIRFLOW BALANCING”
* In the case of a multi-zone system, please contact Fantech customer
service prior to installing any installation type requiring the use of the
