INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CAUTION - Before installation, careful consideration must be given to how this system

will operate if connected to any other piece of mechanical equipment, i.e. air handler,

operating at a higher static. After installation, the compatibility of the two pieces of equipment

should be confirmed by measuring the airflow of the Energy Recovery Ventilator.

It is always important to assess how the operation of any ERV may interact with vented

combustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.).

NEVER - install a ventilator in a situation where its normal operation, lack of operation or

partial failure may result in the backdrafting or improper functioning of vented combustion

equipment!!!

Your ventilation system should be installed in conformance with the appropriate provincial or state requirements

or in the absence of such requirements with the current edition of the National Building Code, and / or

ASHRAE’s “ Good Engineering Practices”.
