5.  One of the jumpers comes from the factory offset. Moving the offset jumper to align 

with the other jumpers is what changes the unit from Master to Slave mode. Using 

your fingertips, gently pull the offset jumper away from the pins and reinstall so that it 

connects both pins on that row. 

Using metal tools, such as needle-nose pliers, may 

damage either the jumper or circuit board.

Reinstalling the jumper

6.  Reverse the process above by reinstalling the circuit board cover, followed by the 

terminal block. The unit is now in Slave mode and can be installed.

Using Slave Mode

When the unit is in slave mode, there are three modes of operation available; low speed 

exchange, high speed exchange, and EvacMAX™. 

To enable low speed exchange, a connection must be made between terminal connect 1 

and connection 3. If this connection is broken, the unit will default back to standby. This 

connection can be made using any third party switch or dry contact controller, such as a 

smart thermostat with integrated ventilator control or a Programmable Timer .
