OPTIONAL CONTROLS 20 Minute Remote Timer Touch Pad Model ECPBT This control is polarized. Once activated by a momentary push of the SELECT button the HRV will turn on to the selected ventilation speed. INSTALL USING 18/2 THERMOSTAT WIRE. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ECPBT CONTROLS PER HRV IS TWO. Maximum cumulative lead length is 2000 linear feet. Wall Mount Dehumidistat - Model - SRDEH This control is typically installed in an area of the home where humidity may require automatic monitoring. This could be a central location (i.e. near furnace thermostat) or in a specific room (i.e. kitchen, laundry etc.). Install using 18/2 thermostat wire. 5

OPERATION Continuous Ventilation (Fig 1) Connected across the two right hand inputs on the external terminal block is a factory provided jumper. With this jumper in place the fan speed selected at the slide switch is on all the time. The fan speed slide switch is located to the right of the terminal block. To initiate ventilation on demand, remove this jumper. Refer to Fig 2 and 3. With this jumper removed the HRV will only provide ventilation when an external control is connected and active. Dehumidistat or ON/OFF Switch (Fig 2) To ventilate on demand, remove the factory installed jumper at the external terminal block shown in Fig 1 and install a dehumidistat or a switch as shown in Fig 2. Connect using 18/2-thermostat wire. The fan speed that is activated by the external control is determined by the selection made at the fan speed slide switch. 20 Minute Timer (Fig 3) Only a Summeraire 20-minute timer may be connected to this location on the external terminal block. Maximum number of timers is 2. Note that these timer controls are polarized. Connect using 18/2-thermostat wire. You must connect Black to Black and White to White. The fan speed that is activated by the timer is determined by the selection made at the fan speed slide switch. Note When the jumper shown in Fig 1 is in place, ventilation is on all the time, it is therefore not practical to connect a dehumidistat with the jumper installed. To introduce automatic off (standby, no ventilation) remove factory supplied jumper shown in Fig 1 and connect an optional dehumidistat or Summeraire fan timer to provide ventilation on demand. NW 65 FIELD WIRING FAN TIMER 6

Selecting a location Typically the HRV is located in the mechanical room with close proximity to an outside wall. Other installation locations are acceptable provided that the ambient air temperature does not fall below freezing. This is to prevent the condensate drain lines from freezing. Mounting the HRV -Suspension Straps Included with the HRV are four (4) laminated rubber hanging straps and a wall bracket. The straps are to be secured at each of the four corners of the HRV using the screws provided. The other ends of the straps should be secured to the floor joists using large head screws. To ensure proper condensate flow, HRV must be installed level in both directions. - Wall Bracket If installing with the wall bracket, mount the wall bracket level on the wall and secure the HRV to the wall bracket using the two mounting screws located at the top rear corners of the HRV. CONDENSATE DRAIN HOSE INSTALLATION Two (2) drain spigot assemblies are provided. These are to be installed through the drain pan holes provided. Install the spigot through the openings and secure in place by installing the nylon washer and nut on the outside of the cabinet. Once installed, attach 1/2 plastic tubing (not supplied) to the spigots. Create a trap by forming a loop in the tubing. This will prevent the cross contamination of the air streams through the tubing. Ensure that the condensate drain tubing is not exposed to freezing temperatures. Typically the drain line is connected into a floor drain, sink or stand pipe. 7 Create Trap

The top of the hole should be a minimum of 1 from the bottom of the floor above (if applicable). Step 2 Install the round foam gasket (provided) around the 6 galvanized duct and slide it up against the backplate. 8

Step 3 Insert the 6 galvanized duct through the hole cut in the exterior wall. Slide in until the back plate is flush with the exterior wall. Level the backplate and drill 4 holes in the exterior wall. Seal the Backplate with exterior weatherproof sealant and screw in place. Line up and hold the screen in place using the guidelines molded into the backplate and snap on the hood cover. Seal any gaps to the exterior walls Seal the backplate with exterior weatherproof sealant and screw into place Add sealant all around Add sealant to vertical divider Step 4 Apply a generous bead of silicone: Silicone around the 6 galvanized duct at the interior wall providing a complete seal to the outdoors. Generously silicone the end of the internal divider located within the 6 galvanized duct. Silicone around the outer edge of the 6 galvanized duct. Step 5 Install the Y transition onto the 6 galvanized duct. Be sure that the internal Y transition divider aligns with the galvanized duct divider by aligning the arrows. Push the Y transition on all the way. Aligning the the galvanized duct. 9

Cut to length as required Step 6 Measure from the interior wall to the duct Y transition. Line up the 2 halves of the duct insulator to fit together and using a sharp knife, cut both halves of the duct insulator to the measured distance. Add sealant Add sealant Step 7 Apply a bead of silicone along the concave sides of the duct insulator. Silicone both ends of the duct insulator. Align the cut ends of the duct insulators towards the exterior wall and wrap the 2 halves of the insulator around the exposed 6 galvanized duct. Secure the duct insulator with the Nylon Cable Tie provided. Cable Ties Step 8 Ensure complete seal between duct insulator sleeve, exterior wall and Y transition to create a vapor barrier. Secure the insulating duct halves with the tie wraps provided. Notice It should be noted that a mild flow reduction may be realized with the use of a concentric vent. The following flow reductions may be realized. Up to 100 CFM - 3% Up to 160 CFM 7% Up to 200 CFM 11 % 10

InstallationClearances Minimuim 6 (2m) away from dryer vents, furnace exhaust (medium or high efficiency furnaces), driveways, oil fill pipes, gas meters, or garbage containers At least 18 (457 mm) above the ground, or above the depth of expected snow accumulation. At least 3 (1m) from the corner of the building. Do not locate in a garage, attic or crawl space. Included in this Kit - Hood Assembly - Foam Gasket - Y transition - Duct Insulator (2 pieces) - Nylon Cable Tie (3) - Screen - Four #8 x 1 1/2Wood Screws and rawl plugs Additional Materials Required for this Kit - Waterproof sealant (silicone) ATTENTION! Contact your local building authority before installation of the Concentric Vent to verify compliance with local building codes. CAUTION! Sealant must be applied as per instructions or leakage and condensation may occur. ATTENTION! Insulate the Fresh Air Supply and Stale Air Exhaust ductwork back to the unit. Weather hoods should be installed: Separate air intake and exhaust outlet openings, when located on the same wall or roof, shall be installed so as to avoid contamination of the ventilation air by the exhaust air. Intake openings shall be located so as to avoid contamination of the ventilation air from other local sources such as automobile exhausts and exhaust from adjacent buildings. The distance from the bottom of an air intake opening to finished ground level or to any nearer and lower permanent horizontal surface shall be not less than 450 mm or the depth of expected snow accumulation, whichever is greater. The distance separating air intakes from building envelope penetrations that are potential sources of contaminants, such as gas vents or oil fill pipes, shall be not less than 900 mm. Locate away from prevailing winds whenever possible. 11

Outside Weatherhoods and Ducting to the outside. The outside weather hoods must have built in bird screens to prevent birds and rodents from entering the duct system. Minimum mesh size of 1/4 must be used. Smaller mesh size will result in restricted air flows with increased potential for the development of blockages. Weather hoods should be installed: a) A minimum of 6 ft. apart from each other. b) At least 18 above ground level c) Away from sources of contaminates such as automobile exhaust fumes, gas meters, garbage cans. d) Locate away from prevailing winds whenever possible. The size and design of the weather hoods shall be selected to ensure adequate free area to minimize air flow restrictions. It is recommended that 4 insulated ducting with a integral single piece vapour barrier be provided. Due to the high air flow restrictions in insulated flex duct it is recommended that run lengths be kept to a minimum, stretched tightly and with as few elbows as possible, if length greater 25 ft. use 5 insulated duct. Minimum RSI value of 0.75 (R4) is required. Weather hood collar should be screwed to inner surface of sill plate and sealed with high quality caulking or aluminum faced tape. Both the inner and outer liners of flexible ducting should be securely attached to the weather hood tubing and collar and to the HRV collar. A good bead of high quality caulking (preferably acoustical sealant) should be used prior to clamping the liners. It is very important to ensure that the fresh air intake line is well sealed and that the vapour barrier is sealed. 12

Installation Methods Dedicated Duct System. In this arrangement the HRV is installed with a dedicated duct system. All applicable rooms are exhausted and provided with fresh supply air as required. The main advantage of this type of installation is it provides the ability to balance the exhaust and supply air streams from each serviced room. The HRV system operates independent of the home s heating system. Please refer to fig II. below. See fig II. below. Stale Air Exhaust Fresh Air Fresh Air In Exhaust Air fig. II 13

Indirect Duct System Safety Warning Some Building Code and Combustion Appliance Installation Codes do not allow location of return air grills or any opening such as a breather T in an enclosed room with spillage susceptible combustion appliances. If combustion appliances are used, and not yet enclosed in a room, locate the grill or breathing T outside any future wall locations and a minimum distance of 6 feet from the combustion appliance. This method of installation permits localized exhaust of indoor air and uses the existing forced air system to distribute fresh air. Although independent room balancing of exhaust air can be achieved with the indirect duct system, the distribution of fresh supply air cannot be balanced. Where required by local codes, the HRV/ERV supply duct may be directly connected to the furnace return air duct. The supply duct shall be positioned as shown on the attached drawing. In this application no opening such as a breather T is used. Also, where permitted by local codes, the HRV/ERV supply duct may be indirectly connected to the furnace return air duct using a breather T. In this application, the breather T in installed into the HRV/ERV supply duct before the connection to the return air duct. Leaving a gap in the ventilation supply duct in place of the breather T is acceptable but not recommended. In this installation, a grill is placed in the furnace return air duct and the HRV/ERV supply duct is pointed at this grill at a minimum distance of 100mm (4 ) but not greater than 300mm (12 ). The free area of the grill shall not be less than the free area of the supply duct. Call backs have occurred because it was thought that something had been accidentally left out of the installation. This method of installation requires that the forced air circulation fan be operated when the HRV is in use. Furnace circulating fan may be interlocked with HRV. Refer to Wiring Diagram. See fig. III below. Stale Air Exhaust Minimum 36" Breathing "T" Fresh Air Supply Fresh Air In Stale Air Out fig. III 14

Direct Duct System Safety Warning Some Building Code and Combustion Appliance Installation Codes do not allow location of return air grills or any opening such as a breather T in an enclosed room with spillage susceptible combustion appliances. If combustion appliances are used, and not yet enclosed in a room, locate the grill or breathing T outside any future wall locations and a minimum distance of 6 feet from the combustion appliance. This method of installation is used primarily when it is not reasonable to install dedicated duct runs from the HRV to the various rooms of the dwelling. In this installation the warm exhaust and warm supply duct runs from the HRV are connected directly to the forced air heating system ductwork. This method of installation does not permit source capture of the indoor air nor does it permit room balancing. Where required by local codes, the HRV/ERV supply duct may be directly connected to the furnace return air duct. Where both the exhaust and the supply duct are installed into the return air duct the exhaust air duct shall be positioned upstream at a distance of not less than 1 meter (or 3 feet) from the supply duct. The supply duct shall be positioned as shown on the attached drawing. In this application no opening such as a breather T is used. Also, where permitted by local codes, the HRV/ERV supply duct may be indirectly connected to the furnace return air duct using a breather T. In this application, the breather T in installed into the HRV/ERV supply duct before the connection to the return air duct. Leaving a gap in the ventilation supply duct in place of the breather T is acceptable but not recommended. In this installation, a grill is placed in the furnace return air duct and the HRV/ERV supply duct is pointed at this grill at a minimum distance of 100mm (4 ) but not greater than 300mm (12 ). The free area of the grill shall not be less than the free area of the supply duct. Call backs have occurred because it was thought that something had been accidentally left out of the installation. The Direct Duct System method of installation requires that the forced air system circulation fan be operated when the HRV is in use. Furnace circulating fan may be interlocked with HRV. Refer to Wiring Diagram. Please refer to fig. IV. Stale Air Exhaust Minimum 36" Breathing "T" Fresh Air Supply fig. IV 15 Fresh Air In Stale Air Out

Interior Ducting Ducting to the central forced air ductwork system, or if used, a dedicated duct system, should be made of galvanized metal whenever possible. To minimize airflow losses, runs should be kept as short as possible using 45 degree elbows instead of 90 degree. Whenever possible use Y fittings instead of T fittings. All joints must be fastened with screws, rivets or duct sealant and wrapped with a quality duct tape to prevent leakage. If standard grills are used, it is recommended that wall grills of not less than 6 x 12 and floor grills of no less than 4 x 10 be used to minimize air flow restrictions. Fresh Air Supply Ducting Fresh air supply ducting to the living space may be either a dedicated or an indirect duct system. Please refer to figures I and II. Should the indirect method be used it is suggested that at the point of connection to the HRV that a short length of flex duct be used to electrically isolate the two systems. Fresh air supply grills may be either wall or ceiling mounted. Avoid locating these grills where room occupants may be exposed to the fresh air supply as this air temperature may be slightly less than the room air temperature. Also, it is recommended that adjustable grills such as round Tech Grills be used to permit balancing of the ventilation by room application. It is recommended that a breathing T be installed in the fresh air duct between the HRV and the central distribution system. This will maximize efficiency, but hard connection is acceptable. 16

Stale Air Return System The stale air return system is used to extract humid, stale air from the areas of the dwelling where the worst air quality conditions might exist. These may include areas such as laundry rooms, bathrooms and kitchens. Wall stud spaces can be used as ducting for high wall returns provided that they are lined with galvanized metal. Note: Check local code compliance before implementing. Adjustable Tech Grills are recommended for use in the return air system. They can be wall or ceiling mounted thereby permitting balancing of the air being exhausted. Stale air return grills should be located at opposite ends in the room to the fresh air grills to ensure good air exchange. Please note that the exhaust air stream from a kitchen area must never be connected to the kitchen range hood. Instead an exhaust grill should be mounted high on the wall as required by local codes so as not to extract cooking by products. 17

Air Flow Balancing READ THE APPLICATION WARNING AT THE FRONT OF THIS MANUAL. Upon completion of the installation it is necessary that the Ventilation System be balanced. This is necessary to ensure that the volume of air being exhausted from the dwelling is equal to the volume of air being supplied. Balancing will also ensure that the HRV is operating at it s maximum efficiency. Equipment Required: Flow Stations - 4 Magnahelic Gauge or Inclined Manometer with scale to 1 WC Flexible ¼ tubing Procedure: Install flow stations in warm air streams at least 2 duct diameters from any elbows on the HRV. Turn off all appliances and fans that may vent to the outdoors (i.e. vacuums, furnaces, range hoods, clothes dryers, water heaters etc.). All dwelling windows and doors are closed, close fireplace dampers. Dwelling vapour barrier is complete and intact. Ensure HRV drain connections are in place, drain trap is created in drain hose and that the trap is filled with water. HRV filters and energy recover cores are in place. Turn on furnace circulating fan if HRV is connected to furnace ducting. Ensure all duct connections are sealed. Open HRV balancing dampers fully. Power up HRV and set speed to high. Allow system to stabilize, approximately 2 minutes. Position magnahelic gauge close to HRV and set to zero. With flexible line connected to magnahelic and first flow station, record reading. Close balancing damper associated with the higher reading until that reading equals the value of the other air stream. Secure both dampers by tightening the locking screws once the set points are established. Recheck both pressures and record. While it is necessary to ensure that both air streams are balanced within 10%, a near balanced condition should be possible. 18

A positive pressure situation within the dwelling may drive moist air into the external walls where, in cold weather it may condense, potentially causing structural damage. A negative pressure situation within the dwelling may have severe undesirable effects. In some geographic locations, radon gas may be drawn into the living space. A negative condition may also cause back drafting of vented combustion appliances such as fireplaces and furnaces. When it is possible for excessive pressurization or depressurization of a dwelling to occur it may be necessary to perform a House Depressurization Test. This test is most important where fuel fired devices are installed that are susceptible to spillage. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE IF THE HOUSE DEPRESSURIZATION TEST IS REQUIRED. 19
