• Priortoinstalling,seriousconsiderationmustbetakentoensurethisventilationsystem
willoperateproperlyifintegratedtoanyothertypeofmechanicalsystem,i.e.aforced
airsystem,oranairhandlingunit.Toensureproperoperationandcompatibilityof
bothsystems,itisrequiredthattheunit’sairflows(intakeandexhaust)bebalanced,by
followingtheproceduresfoundinthismanual
• Installtheunitwithspacetoaccessthefrontpanelcontrolsandthesideaccesspanel
formaintenanceandservice.
• Toensurequietoperation,donotplacethedevicedirectlyonthestructuralsupportsof
thehome.
• Theproductisforresidentialapplicationsonly.Mustbeinstalledinaccordancewithall
nationalandlocalregulations,buildingandsafetycodes

AbouttheERV/HRVVentilationSystem
The Honeywell ERV/HRV Ventilation System provides
improved indoor air quality through its high performance
andefficiency.
Benets
• Ventilationwithsensibleheatrecovery(ERVandHRV)
• Ventilationwithlatentheatrecovery(ERVonly)
• Simplifiedmounting(hanging)
• Removableductcollarsforeasyductingtotheunit
• Intuitivebalancingviatwovariablespeedmotorsanda
speedcontrol
CAUTION: Electrical shock and re hazard. Can cause personal and equipment damage.
• Before servicing or cleaning the system, always remove the power cord from the AC wall
outlet.
• Wear protective clothing and safety glasses when installing ventilator and working with
sheet metal.
• To reduce the hazards of electric shock or re, do not perform any service to the system
other than those stated in the operating manual instructions.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this ventilation system comes equipped with a
3-prong plug-in. This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way.
• Do not use ventilation system for outdoor application.
• Do not pull or twist power cord when disconnecting it from the ventilation system. Grasp
the plug rmly, not the cord.
• Do not modify the power plug in any way; if modied, risk of electric shock, re, or even
damage to the unit may occur.
• Do not use the ventilation system for removal of ammable fumes, gases or connect
directly to any appliances.
• Use a 120 VAC outlet only.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Do not obstruct or cover the air intake or air outlet of the ventilation system.
• Do not modify, repair or disassemble this system. These tasks are to be performed by
authorized serviced personnel only. Fire, electrical shock and/or bodily injury may occur
if these warnings are not followed.
• To prevent injuries, do not operate the ventilation system, while servicing or maintaining.
There are impeller wheels turning at a very high speed that must fully stop rotating prior
to accessing the inside of the unit.
• Always assess how the operation of the ventilation system may interact with vented
combustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnace, Oil Furnace, Combustion, Appliances, etc.)
• Ensure unit is properly installed and suspended to prevent falling or dropping injuries.

DeterminingYourVentilationNeeds
Howmuchfreshairdoyouneed?
Goodairqualityisbasedinpartonthecapacityofthehome’sventilationsystem.Usually,theunit’s
capacityismeasuredinCFM(CubicFeetperMinute)orL/s(Literspersecond)offreshairbeingdistributed
inthelivingspace.UsetheASHRAE62.2VentilationStandard,theRoomCountCalculationMethod,orthe

TheERV/HRVunitshouldbeinstalledinamechanicalroomorasclosetoanoutsidewallaspossible.
TheERV/HRVunitmustalwaysbeinstalledinanareawheretheairisconditionedtoavoidfreezingthe

Thecontractorshouldinstalltheunitinanareathatallowsthehomeownereasyaccessformaintenance.
Itisveryimportanttoinstallanelectricreceptacle(120Vac)neartheunit,aseparatecircuitbreaker
isalsorecommended.ItisbesttohaveaccesstoacondensatedrainneartheERV/HRVunittoavoid
havingtouseacondensatepump.
NOTE: Installationisnotrecommendedinunconditionedareassuchasanatticorcrawlspacewhere
thetemperaturecanfallbelow32ºF(0ºC).
NOTE: Ductinginunconditionedareasmustbefullysealedandinsulated.
