Operating Guide

ASHRAE 62.2 INTERMITENT TIMING FUNCTION
The adjustable Minutes Per Hour (Min/Hr) timer allows the user to set the number
of minutes per hour the ERV should run. This gives scalability of air flow relative to
property size; from the smallest multi-family to larger single family applications.This
ensures consistent and controlled ventilation throughout the day for compliance with
ASHRAE 62.2. Factory default setting is 60 Min/Hr.
FILTERS & MAINTENANCE
Intelli-Balance
™
100 has two filters that clean the exhaust and supply air before
passing through the ERV core, extending the life of the core. A hinged access panel
allows for quick and easy product maintenance and filter checks. Convenient light
indicator and unobtrusive alarm signal on the access panel will help inform the
homeowner when it’s time to check and clean the filters. Both filters should be
vacuumed with a soft brush attachment every 2-3 months or as needed, and the
supply air filter should be inspected every 90 days and replaced every 6 months to
maintain the ERV’s peak performance.
EXCHANGE CAPILLARY CORE
Indoor and outdoor air pass through Panasonic’s patented capillary core designed
to transfer heat and moisture. This process tempers supply air while balancing
moisture levels inside to outside. The core’s high latent energy (moisture) transfer
makes Intelli-Balance 100 ideal for use in most climate zones, as it helps expel
moisture during incidences of high relative humidity (RH) and helps return moisture
back inside during the winter for a healthier, more comfortable living environment.
Core material permeated with anti-mold treatment to help prevent mold in the home.
WHOLE HOUSE ERV
Intelli-Balance
™
100 is a ceiling or wall mount Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) that’s
ideal for meeting whole house ventilation requirements under ASHRAE 62.2. Intelli-
Balance
™
100 is also an ideal choice when partnered with mini-splits or VRF Heat
Pumps for fresh, balanced air with energy recovery which makes it a very affordable,
cost-effective IAQ solution.
Ideal for: Single Family Homes (≤ 3,000 sq. ft., up to 7 bedrooms) / Condominiums /
Apartments / Housing Authority Properties / Hotels / Studio apartments.
ASHRAE 62.2 2010 AND 2013 STANDARD
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) set a standard for whole house ventilation, requiring that continuous
mechanical ventilation be 7.5 CFM per bedroom (master bedroom X 2) plus 1 CFM
per 100 square feet, with sones not to exceed 1.0. ASHRAE 62.2-2013 requires a
ventilation rate of 7.5 CFM per person plus 3 CFM per 100 square feet. Please check
with your local jurisdiction to determine which ventilation standard you should
follow. Panasonic Intelli-Balance
™
100 ERV is an affordable, efficient way to meet the
ASHRAE 62.2 standard.
OPERATION
FV-10VEC2 is recommended for areas where temperatures can drop as low as
-22°F (-30°C). When the outdoor temperature is < -22°F (-30°C), the defrost cycle
is initiated and the product will stop operating for 47 minutes, then operate in heat
exchange mode for 4 minutes in order to sample the outdoor temperature. It then
operates in circulation mode for 9 minutes in order to defrost (exhaust and supply air
are 50 CFM). Defrost cycle overrides the ASHRAE 62.2 timing function.
FV-10VE2 is recommended for areas where temperatures can drop as low as 14°F
(-10°C). When the outdoor temperature is < 14°F (-10°C), the defrost cycle is initiated
and the product will stop operating for 56 mins, then operate in heat exchange mode
for 4 minutes in order to sample the outdoor temperature (exhaust and supply air are
50 CFM). Defrost cycle overrides the ASHRAE 62.2 timing function.
