Refer to Section 4.2 and observe the difference in the damper
position at the right in diagrams Defrost Mode 1 and Defrost Mode 2:
for Defrost Mode 1 the damper is completely closed, whereas
for Defrost Mode 2 the damper is half closed. At the factory, all ERVs
are assembled for defrost Mode 2. Therefore, if your installation
is for an ERV in a warm region (zone D as defined in Section 3),
the rod must be moved to position 1 (see figure 5).
NOTE: Before attempting to change the position of the damper
rod, place the unit on a table for easy access and remove
the recovery core.

Choose an
appropriate location
for the unit:
•
Within an area of the house where the temperature is above 10°C /
50°F (basement, attic, furnace room, laundry room, etc.).
•
Away from living areas (dining room, living room, bedroom), if possible.
•
So as to provide easy access to the interior cabinet and to
the control panel on the right hand side of the unit.
•
Close to an exterior wall, so as to limit the length of the insulated
flexible duct to and from the unit.
•
Close to a drain. If no drain is close by, use a pail to collect
run-off.
•
Away from hot chimneys, electrical panel and other fire haz-
ards.
•
Allow for a power source (110 V standard outlet).
Hang the unit to ceiling joists with the 4 chains and
springs provided (see figures 6 and 7).
