Refer to drawing fig. 1.

The model select switch must be set to the HRV model it is installed into to ensure proper unit 

operation.

This switch is factory set.

Failure to ensure the switches are set as required will result in improper operation.

The model select switch is a 3-position dipswitch located on the exposed side of the control 

board when the electrical cover is removed.

Switch positions are:

The above switch positions apply when the orange terminal connection strip is located in the 

upper left corner of the HRV (when facing the unit from the door side).  Reverse the switch 

positions if the orange terminal strip is in the lower right side on the HRV.
