above will illuminate.

Setting the Ventilation Speed

Press and release the Fan button   to select LOW or HIGH fan speed. The corresponding “Indicator Light" will illuminate. If 

both LO and HI indicator lights are off, the fan is OFF but will turn ON if required by a remote Timer (if installed).

Setting 20/40 Mode 

After a fan speed has been selected, press and release the 20/40 button.  The “Indicator Light” will turn ON and the control will 

be in 20/40 mode.

20/40 mode is a repeating cycle.  The fan will run at the set speed, LO or HI, for 20 minutes then turn OFF for 40 minutes.  

Some  units  are  equipped  to  Recirculate  air  in  your  home  during  the  40  minute  cycle  with  no  Ventilation.  The  control  will 

automatically detect this feature and Recirculate air during the 40 minute cycle at the selected fan speed.

Often  today's  well  insulated  and  tight  buildings  will  have 

high  indoor  humidity  levels  during  the  heating  season. 

Visible  condensation  on  windows  indicates  a  high  level  of 

humidity.  The  amount  of  condensation  on  the  windows  will 

increase as outdoor temperatures drop.
Your  HRV  will reduce  indoor humidity levels when outdoor  air 

is drier than indoor air. This usually occurs during the heating 

season when outdoor temperatures are less than 15°C (59°F).
Your  optional 

Lifebreath  DXPL02,  BC02  and  BC03 

Controls 

have  an  adjustable  dehumidistat which  can  be  set 

to  achieve  a  further  dehumidification  effect  from  your  HRV. 

High  speed  ventilation  will  be  initiated  upon  exceeding  the 

dehumidistat  set  point  regardless  of  the  mode  and  speed  of 

operation.  Once  the  humidity  in  the  building  is  reduced,  the 

HRV will revert back to its previous setting.
We  suggest  operating  the  HRV  for  the  first  few  days  without 

use  of  the  dehumidistat  function  to  observe  if  a 

further  dehumidification  effect  will  be  required.  The 

dehumidistat operates  in  %  of  RH  (relative  humidity)  with  60 

being  high  and  20  being  low.  If,  after  a  few  days,  further 

dehumidification is required (the building is still too humid), set 

the humidity level to a lower amount.

The  average  person  is  comfortable  between  30-50%  RH.  The 

dehumidistat  should  be  set  to  OFF  for  all  seasons  except 

the heating season.

Notes:

The  dehumidistat  function  will  be  disabled  if  outdoor 

temperatures exceed 15°C (59°F) for a 24 hour period.
The  dehumidistat  function  will  be  re-enabled  if  the  unit  is 

unplugged  for  3  minutes  or  if  the  outdoor  temperature 

drops below 15°C (59°F) for a 24 hour period.
