To avoid injury or damage to this unit, do not attempt to service any of the
internal electrical or mechanical components. Your heat/energy recovery
ventilator should be installed and serviced by a qualified heating and
electrical contractor.
CAUTION
Before installation, careful consideration must be given to how this system
will operate if connected to any other piece of mechanical equipment that
operates at a higher static, i.e., a force-air furnace or air handler. After
installation, the compatibility of the two pieces of equipment must be
confirmed by measuring the airflows of the HRV/ERV using the balancing
procedure found in this manual.
NEVER install a ventilator in a situation where its normal operation, lack
of operation, or partial failure may result in the backdrafting or improper
functioning of vented combustion equipment.
