QUANTUM VENTILATION SYSTEM (QVS)

The Quantum Ventilation System (QVS) replaces

multiple exhaust fans with one quiet, efficient, single

source fan.

In addition to quiet exhaust, the QVS can be upgraded at

any time with a balanced Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)

or Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV). Refer to the

Lifebreath residential Operation & Installation manual for

HRV/ERV installation instructions. Manuals are available

for download at www.lifebreath.com.

The Quantum Ventilation System (QVS) carries a 5 year

replacement parts warranty.

In-line Fan Set-up Before installation, careful consideration must be given to how this system will operate if connected to any other piece of mechanical equipment. It is always important to assess how the operation of any air movement device may interact with vented combustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.). Airia Quantum Series in-line fans are approved for both Residential and Commercial applications.
PAGE 3
In-line Fan Assembly Four Inch Dedicated (attach 2 – 4” collars) The unique COMBI fan can be configured in either 4 inch, 5 inch, 6 inch, OR any combination of the three. The collars will fit on the main housing with a tapered friction fit. No sealant is required. Locate screw slot on collar and use 1 - 1/4” hex head screw (supplied) per collar to secure collar in place.

Quantum Ventilation System Layout 20/40/60 Minute Timer (part # 99-DET01) Adjustable Techgrilles (not included) exhaust the stale air. Install Techgrilles at each QVS exhaust location (bathroom, laundry). Timers initiate high speed fan operation for 20, 40 or 60 minutes. Up to 4 timers can be installed on this system. Two timers are included with this kit. Airia Ventilation Control part # 99-BC-01 % 80 HIGH The QVS System Control Box and COMBI Fan provide quiet, whole house ventilation.

In-line Fan Installation Mounting Fans can be mounted in ANY position (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal). Option 1 A mounting bracket is included for securing the fan. Align the mounting bracket with the pre-drilled holes located on one end of the fan. All necessary hardware is included for mounting the fan with the supplied bracket (see Figure 1). Figure 1 Hanging Strap Option 2 The fan can be supported by using standard hanging straps, as illustrated.
PAGE 8
Ducting the System To maximize airflow in the duct system, all ducts should be kept short and have as few bends or elbows as possible. Forty-five degree elbows are preferred to 90° elbows. Use “Y” tees instead of 90° elbows whenever possible. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all ductwork is sized and installed as designed to ensure that the system will perform as intended. All air movement devices have a performance curve.
PAGE 9
Weatherhood Installation Outside Weatherhoods Locating the Exhaust Weatherhood • At least 6' (2 m) from the ventilation air intake The fixed-cover hoods have a built in bird screen with a 1/4” (6mm) mesh to prevent foreign objects from entering the ductwork.

Installation of the Main Control ATTENTION The Main Control may be installed in a 2" x 4" electrical switch box or surface mounted on a wall. Pay special attention not to damage the Contact Pins when attaching and detaching the Face Plate. (Figure B) Only one Main Control should be installed in the Quantum ventilation system (the Face Plate in this illustration may not be exactly as shown). 1. Remove the Operating Instructions Card from the top of the Control (Figure A). Operating Instructions Card 2.

Interlocking Fan Operation to an Airhandler/Furnace Blower Interlocking with the Air Handler/Furnace initiates the Air Handler/Furnace blower motor whenever the QVS PLUS Ventilation System is operating. This enables the fresh outdoor air to mix with the conditioned indoor return air. The Air Handler/Furnace blower motor will then distribute the mixed air evenly throughout the building via the supply outlet grilles. Make the connections as indicated by using low voltage wiring.
