Lifebreath Accu-Flow is designed to quickly and accurately balance the airflows on units equipped

with balancing ports. Normally the HRV/ERV would be balanced on high speed. If the HRV/ERV is connected to a forced air system, both systems should be set to run at the highest operational speed when balancing is performed.

Procedure:

Step 1 Remove balancing port covers.

Step 2 Insert rubber fittings into balancing ports on door. (Use light pressure until fitting is snug).

Step 3 Attach tubes to balancing gauge.

Step 4 Place gauge on metal door (gauge is equipped with a magnetic strip). Ensure gauge is level/plumb.

Step 5 Connect tubes to door ports as illustrated in step 5 (record readings).

Step 6 Connect tubes to door ports as illustrated in Step 6. (record readings).
