INSPECT THE CONTENTS OF THE BOX

•Inspect the exterior of the unit for shipping damage. Ensure that there is no damage to the door, door latches, door hinges, dampers, duct collars, cabinet, etc.

•Inspect the interior of the unit for damage. Ensure that the fan motor assembly, recovery core, insulation, dampers, damper actuator and drain pan are all intact.

•If the unit was damaged during shipping, contact your local distributor. (Claim must be made within 24 hours after delivery.)

•Use checklist included with the unit to ensure that no parts are missing.

6.1ADJUSTING THE DAMPER ROD (FOR ERVS INSTALLED IN WARM REGIONS)

Refer to Section 4.2 and observe the difference in the damper

 

position at the right in diagrams Defrost Mode 1 and Defrost Mode 2:

 

for Defrost Mode 1 the damper is completely closed, whereas

 

for Defrost Mode 2 the damper is half closed. At the factory, all ERVs

 

are assembled for defrost Mode 2. Therefore, if your installation

 

is for an ERV in a warm region (zone D as defined in Section 3),

1

the rod must be moved to position 1 (see figure 5).

NOTE: Before attempting to change the position of the damper rod, place the unit on a table for easy access and remove

the recovery core.

CAUTION

This is a delicate operation: to avoid injury proceed carefully and use the appropriate tools.

6.2LOCATING AND MOUNTING THE UNIT

Choose an appropriate location for the unit:

•Within an area of the house where the temperature is above 10°C / 50°F (basement, attic, furnace room, laundry room, etc.).

•Away from living areas (dining room, living room, bedroom), if possible.

•So as to provide easy access to the interior cabinet and to the control panel on the right hand side of the unit.

•Close to an exterior wall, so as to limit the length of the insulated flexible duct to and from the unit.

• Close to a drain. If no drain is close by, use a pail to collect

run-off.

 

•Away from hot chimneys, electrical panel and other fire haz-

ards.

CAUTION

Make sure the unit is level.

•Allow for a power source (110 V standard outlet).

Hang the unit to ceiling joists with the 4 chains and springs provided (see figures 6 and 7).
