It is recommended that the ERV unit be located in a conditioned space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit:
• Complexity of work to install,
• Freezing conditions in the attic,
• Difficulty of access for service and cleaning.
Sufficient clearance in front/below (depending on model) of the access door is required for servicing the air filters and core.
Clearance must be enough to allow removal of core from the unit.
Applicable Unit: SYNC-270TCE-S1
This is a procedure for suspending the unit using adjustable hanging straps. Use four screws and washers (field-provided) to attach
the hanging straps. The washer must be wider than the eyelet of the grommet on the hanging strap. By design, the adjustable
hanging straps reduce the possibility of noise, resonance, and harmonics.
1. Insert the screws and washers (field provided) through the hanging strap grommets and fasten to a solid vertical surface.
2. Unscrew the four machine screws located on the upper side of the unit. Attach the S hooks and reinsert the machine screws.
3. Hook the bottom grommets of the straps through the S hooks. Pull down vertically on the hand loops while lifting up the bottom
of the cabinet. Repeat at opposite end of the unit.
NOTE: Do not pull the hand loops in a horizontal direction (laterally with the unit) during installation or during adjustment of the
straps.
4. Level the unit from left to right and front to back.
• Adjust the unit down by lifting up on the buckles.
• Adjust the unit up by pulling down vertically on the hand loops while lifting up the bottom of the cabinet.
5. Fold the hand loops and excess strap and secure with a nylon tie (field provided).

Unit Installation Location
Suspending the Unit
CAUTION
If possible, avoid installing units above areas or equipment that are sensitive to water damage. Otherwise, the use of an auxiliary drain pan
under the installation is recommended.
Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and/or explosion.
Can cause injury or death.
Combustion and flue gases from heating appliances must never be allowed to enter living spaces.
ERV unit must be properly balanced (see page 29 - 31) to prevent negative pressure in structure. Negative pressure can cause back−drafting
of combustion gases in other household appliances such as gas furnaces, oil furnaces, hot water heaters, wood stoves, fireplaces, etc.
The following appliances should not be connected to the ERV unit:
•
Clothes dryer
•
Stove top fan
•
Central vacuum system
NOTE: Failure to follow this instruction will void the ERV unit warranty.
