DANGER
Before turning on your new device,
inspect the condition of the ventilation
ducts. Clean the ducts before turning
on your device. If building construction
has not yet been completed, we
recommend that you wait until work
has been nished before starting up
your device. An abnormal volume of
dust in the air could clog the device
lters and cause damage to the motors.
Ensure that all diusers are opened to their maximum
capacity before turning on your device. It is common to
notice a faint smell of burning upon the rst start-up.

Defrost Modes
• Built-in self controlled electric preheating coil
(SSR-controlled).
• The unit preheat the outside air at a given set point at
which no frost will occur.The electric coil is Self controlled
and powered by the unit (single point power connection).
• Built-in liquid preheating coil.
• The unit preheat the outside air at a given set point
at which no frost will occur. A 0 to 10VDC control signal
is available to control external hydronic valves (supplied
by others).
• Fan exhaust defrost cycles.
• The unit monitors the outdoor air and when it reaches
below a specic temperature, the unit cycles the supply
air blower on and o for a specic duration to remove
any built frost inside the xed plate recovery core.
• Recirculation defrost cycles.
• The unit monitors the outdoor air and when it reaches
below a specific temperature, the unit cycles the
exhaust air blower and the recirculation damper on and
o for a specic duration to remove any built frost inside
the xed plate recovery core. During such cycles, the
unit will recirculate the air drawn from the building
directly back into the building.
Options Glossary
Control Options
Dirty lters contact: A dry contact, available at the unit’s terminal
board, closes when the pressure drop accros a specic lter banks
reaches its nal pressure drop.
Blowers rotation detection: Unit stops if rotation if the pressure
increase in the supply air blower is null.
Free-Cooling Management: The unit measures and monitors
outdoor air temperature and when within a specic range, the
unit goes into free-cooling.
End switch on Dampers: Unit start-up conditionnaly to the
dampers openings.
BACnet compatible Controler: Unit is controlled using a BACnet
compatible controller. The controller can communicate with
either a:
• MS/TP connection or
• IP connection
Remote Displays:
Offered with command buttons or with touch screen (Only
available with the BACnet controller).
This device should be installed and
balanced by a specialized contractor in
ventilation services.
CAUTION WARNING
Electrical currents remain at the capacitors
for 5 minutes after circuits disconnect have
been opened. The following electrical
components may not be electrically safe
immediately:
• Variable Frequency Drive for the
enthalpyl wheel motor;
• Variable Frequency Drive for the blowers motors.
The following options may not be included with
your device. Consult the specications form provided
with your device for more information.
All of the defrost modes listed below may not be
included with your device. Consult the specications
form provided with your device for more information.

servomotor upon admission of fresh or exauhst air.
Non-Insulated Backdraft Gravity dampers (for evacuation
purposes only).
Backward Inclined blowers (BI).
Post-Heating Coil: Electric or liquid (0-10 VDC signal or 0-10
VDC signal provided by other components to maintain air input
temperature).
Liquid Cooling Coil: Cold water cooling coil installed inside the
unit (0 to 10 VDC signal by others). Supplied with a drain pan.
DX Cooling Coil: Direct expansion cooling coil installed inside the
unit. Condensation unit provided by other components. Supplied
with a drain pan.
Unit Features
Intake and Exhaust Hoods: Hoods on the intake opening and
the exhaust opening to protect from rain and snow. Comes with
