Electrical

The HRV unit should be plugged into a standard designated (120VAC) electrical outlet with a ground. The outlet should be serviced by a separate 15 amp/120V circuit. An extension cord should not be used with this appliance. A qualified service technician should make any required electrical connections.

Remote Control Connections

Prior to connecting remote devices, it is advisable to run

self test on the HRV/ERV.

Low voltage connections between the remote controls, the dehumidistat, or the fan timer should be made by a qualified service technician. Low voltage wires from the remote controls are connected to the HRV micro-processor board.

WARNING

In order to prevent electric shock when cleaning or servicing the HRV, it is extremely important to confirm the polarity of the power line that is switched by the safety (disconnect) switch. The hot line (black) is the proper line to be switched. To confirm the proper polarity, use a voltmeter or test lamp to ensure there is no power after the switch when the door is open. Check between that point and ground (on the cabinet). Always make sure that the HRV is properly grounded.

Changing OFF to STANDBY

Figure 1 - Factory DIP Switch Settings

The factory setting of the DIP switches (located on the circuit board) provides continuous low speed ventilation. Optional Remote Controls will initiate high speed ventilation.

Remote controls with an ON/OFF switch (refer to "Remote Control Devices" in this manual) will shut the entire system down when the remote control is in the OFF position. Changing the remote control from OFF to STANDBY can be achieved by Setting the DIP Switch as per Figure 2.

Figure 2-DIP Switch Settings for Standby (When using a Remote Control Device that has an ON/OFF Switch)

This DIP Switch Setting can be adjusted when using a system control that has an ON/OFF switch (refer to "Remote Control Devices" in this manual). "STANDBY" is achieved when the Remote Control Switch is in the "OFF" position. The Dehumidistat and Timers will initiate high speed ventilation regardless of the "ON/OFF" switch position when this DIP switch configuration is used.

Increasing Low Speed to Medium Low

The ventilator automatically operates on its lowest speed when plugged in or switched on. This setting is factory supplied from an autotransformer with two selectable low speeds. To switch to a continuous medium low speed, an installing contractor must interchange the red and blue wires from

the autotransformer inside the electrical box. Whether or not this change is made, the HRV will only be able to access a single selected low speed.

High speed is available with the use of optional remote controls connected to the appropriate terminals inside the electrical box.
