NOVUS PLUS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2)
Connect a second two-wire or thermostat wire from the HRV to a wall switch or thermostat to operate the system. This is
the recommended way to operate the system. If a remote is added, connect it to the black wire (male connector) and to the
white wire (female connector) supplied wired to the terminal block. Refer to the wiring diagram. If the system is wired with
a remote and a wall switch (or thermostat) according to the wiring diagram, either the remote or wall switch can turn the
system on or off. If a remote is used to turn the system on then it must be used to turn the system off. This also applies to
the wall switch.
3)
The appliance will not light under any circumstances with the Defrost Override Switch off. The HRV200PLUS may freeze
up during cold weather operation if this switch is left off. This switch should be left on for normal operation. Do not use this
switch to operate the fireplace.

Optional Accessories Requirements
Wiring for optional accessories should be done now to avoid reconstruction.
