Terms & Definitions
Defrost Mode (HRV)
to ensure reliable operation during
cold weather, the HRV will automatically cycle through its
defrost mode as needed.
Dehumidistat
a control device that senses the amount
of moisture in the air and activates high−speed ventilation
when the air moisture level exceeds the set point.
Reset
whenever resetting of the HRV/ERV is required,
simply unplug the power cord for 30 seconds. The Self Test
will occur when the HRV/ERV is reconnected.
Self Test
each time the HRV/ERV is powered/ener-
gized, the self test function will automatically initiate. Dur-
ing the self test, the HRV/ERV will cycle through all the
speeds available (1 − 5), test the damper motor operation,
and will default back to the previous operational mode and
speed selection. Total self test duration is approximately
90 seconds.
Standby Mode
the HRV/ERV is powered/energized and
waiting for fan operation to be initiated. For example, the
HRV is set to Continuous Ventilation Operational Mode at
speed 0.
Thermistor
the HRV/ERV’s temperature sensor which
measures electrical resistance in a known manner, as out-
door temperatures fluctuate.

Application
The Healthy Climate® Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)
and Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) are designed to
provide fresh air while exhausting an equal amount of stale
air. Refer to application map on page 42.
The HRV unit is equipped with an aluminum core. The de-
vice uses the stale air that is being exhausted to condition
the fresh air as it is being brought in.
The ERV unit is equipped with an enthalpic core. This de-
vice is designed for use in warm, humid climates with
heavy air conditioning loads. The ERV unit transfers both
sensible (temperature) and latent (moisture) heat from in-
coming fresh air to the stale air as it is being exhausted;
thus, reducing the air conditioning load. The ERV unit is not
suitable for use in climates where the temperature drops
below 25ºF (−4ºC) for more than 5 days continuously.
