INTRODUCTION

The AirCycler® is a digital programmable furnace fan timer. By oper

-

ating the furnace fan periodically, the AirCycler® improves indoor air 

quality and thermal comfort by circulating and filtering indoor air.  The 

AirCycler ® enables the furnace fan to operate more consistently and 

efficiently with programmable ON and OFF times.

BENEFITS

•  Mixes and circulates indoor air

• 

Eliminates stagnant air

•  Creates even temperature and humidity levels

•  Filters indoor air consistently provides an economical alternative 

to continuously running the furnace fan

APPLICATIONS

Digital Programmable Furnace Fan timer

The AirCycler® automatically turns on the furnace fan for a set period of time only when it detects the system has been 

inactive for a set period of time.

VENTILATION

By adding a fresh air source to the return side of the air handler, the existing HVAC system can be used to provide venti

-

lation. The AirCycler® enables this ventilation system to work properly.

The AirCycler

®

 FRV adds an output to operate a motorized outside damper that limits excessive ventilation.  

*Motorized Damper sold separately - see AirCycler

®

 VS (ACVS-06) for more information. 

IMPORTANT

If the AirCycler® was installed in your home as a ventilation controller, DO NOT DISABLE IT.

In the past, homes depended on natural leaks for ventilation. Today’s energy 

efficient homes are built so that natural ventilation and leaks are reduced.  

Inadequate ventilation can raise indoor air pollutants to harmful levels. 

Indoor air is typically 5- to 10- times more polluted than outside air. Con

-

trolled ventilation provides optimal air flow to the home without compro

-

mising energy efficiency.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Read and follow manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Follow all local elec

-

trical codes during installation. All wiring must conform to local and national 

electrical codes. Improper wiring or installation may result in personal injury 

or product and property damage.
