BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read all instructions before installing the unit. Also review supplemental instructions included with any
controls that will be installed. Carefully unpack and inspect the unit for shipping damage. Open the access
door and inspect inside the unit. Attach the four duct collars to the unit with the screws provided in the
plastic small-parts bag.
PLANNING
YOUR INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
LOCATION OF THE UNIT
Select a location so that:
• The fresh air intake vent from the outside is
placed a minimum of ten feet from any other
contaminated exhaust vent, and is at least
30" long.
• The two ducts to the outside are as short and
straight as possible, for the best performance
from the system. Shorter duct runs help assure
that the system is balanced: the amount of air
brought in is equal to the amount of air exhausted.
• The power cord reaches an electrical outlet.
• The door can be opened to allow cleaning the
core and filters. Provide at least 24" of clearance
at front of unit for service access to the blowers,
filters and energy exchange core.
• The exhaust outlet and fresh air inlet on the
outside of the building should be at least ten feet
apart to avoid cross-contamination. The exhaust
duct should be about the same length as the
fresh air duct.
• The exhaust outlet should not dump air into an
enclosed space or into any other structure.
• Do not install the exhaust outlet and fresh air
inlet through the roof.
The preferred mounting location for the unit is on
a concrete foundation wall because the foundation
wall will isolate any blower vibration.
If a basement area is not available or practical, use
other mechanical room space such as a closet,
garage, storage, or accessible attic or crawl space.
Provide Adequate Service Access
for Maintenance. The unit will
require regular filter and core
inspections. Install the unit where
you can access the core for
cleaning and replacing the filters,
and where you can get at the
wiring for installation and service.
