1.1 UNIT DESCRIPTION
VL0052
Your ventilation system is designed to provide fresh air, warmed outdoor air to your home while
exhausting stale, humid air from your home. By eliminating accumulated pollutants and humidity, it
maintains an optimum air quality and an ideal relative humidity.
1.2 PURPOSE OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM
VH0078
NOTES: 1. Shown with a forced air system. Can also operate on its own.
2. Installation may vary according to the model number.

Your ventilation system is equipped with a heat recovery core specifically designed to control excess
humidity and reduce ventilation costs by recovering the heat energy from the exhausted air, and
using that same heat energy to warm the fresh air being supplied. This heat recovery process is
accomplished in such a way that the stale air is never mixed with the fresh air.

When the outdoor temperature is below -5°C (23°F), heat recovery creates frost in the module. To
maintain its proper operation, the unit is programmed to defrost the recovery module. The defrost
frequency varies according to the outdoor temperature. Defrost lasts 7 minutes for 100H model and
6 minutes for 200H model (or 10 minutes for both models if set on “Extented Defrost”). During the
defrost cycle, the unit shifts to maximum speed and the dampers close.
After defrosting, the unit returns to the operating mode selected by the user.
