Remote Control Devices

Optional Main Controls

The amount of ventilation required in your home will fluctuate according to the activity level in the house. Higher activity levels require more ventilation.

Main controls can be mounted in a central location of the home (i.e. beside the furnace thermostat) which will provide the user with complete control over their ventilation system from a conve- nient location.

The ON/OFF Switch

The ON/OFF Switch will turn the HRV ON or OFF. Controls with an ON/OFF switch can be modified to ON/Standby by adjusting the circuit board DIP Switches (Refer to "Mode DIP Switch Settings").

The Dehumidstat Dial

Main controls feature a dehumidistat dial. The dehumidistat is used to reduce high winter humidity levels. The dehumidistat activates high speed ventilation when the indoor humidity level exceeds selected setting.

ATTENTION

Only one main control can be installed on your system.
