fantech CO-FEEL New Generation Wall IAQ Control

Product Information

The product is a ventilation control unit designed for use with HRV/ERV systems. It is used to regulate and control the ventilation settings of the system. The unit features a front module and a back plate, along with signal wires and a terminal block for connection.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Before installing the ventilation control, ensure that the power to the HRV/ERV unit is disconnected. Failure to do so may cause damage to the controller.
2. Detach the front module from the back plate by pressing the tab located at the top and bottom of the control casing.
3. Guide the signal wires through the central opening of the back plate and mount the plate to either a standard electrical device box or directly to the wall using screws. If necessary, use wall anchors.
4. Insert the signal wires into the terminal block located on the backside of the front module. Secure them in place by tightening the terminal screws using a small 3.0 mm slot/flat head screwdriver.
5. Attach the front module to the mounted back plate by hooking the top of the front module to the top clips of the back plate. Press the bottom of the front module until you hear a click. Ensure that the ventilation system operates correctly.
6. Leave operating instructions with the homeowner for future reference.

Troubleshooting
If the green LED on the back of the controller is solid green, it indicates a successful connection to the HRV/ERV system. If the light is blinking on and off, check that the A and B signal wires are correctly connected. If there is no green light, verify that all wires are correctly connected and ensure that the DIP switches are in the bottom OFF position.

INSTALLATION and OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS ECO-FEEL® – IAQ WALL CONTROL
CAUTION
Failure to comply with the following can cause erratic operation of the unit:

Disconnect the power to the HRV/ERV unit before installing the ventilation control. Ensure that power is reconnected once ventilation control has been installed. Failure to disconnect power before installation could damage the Controller.

• Never install more than one central ventilation control per unit.
• Keep control low voltage wiring at least 1 foot (305mm) away from motors, lighting ballasts and light dimming circuits. Do not route control wiring alongside house power wiring.
• Ensure the wires are securely connected to the unit and wall control.

For optimal operation of the ventilation control, the following best practices are recommended during installation:

• The location of the ventilation control could affect the optimum performance. Therefore, it is recommended that the wall control be installed in a central location, away from direct sunlight and other sources of direct heat or cold such as an outside wall or ad indows.
• Do not install ventilation controller on wall where cavity is opened to other areas. Example: Furnace return in wall cavity. If so, seal the back plate center opening with tape.

INSTALLATION STEPS

1. Detach front module from back plate by pressing the tab (located at the top and bottom of the control casing).

2. Guide the signal wires (4) through the central opening of the back plate and mount this plate to either a standard electrical device box or directly to the wall using screws. If required, use wall anchors.
   NOTE: Be sure the screws are secure but do not over tighten. This may result in damage to the back plate.

3. Insert signal wires (4) into the terminal block, located on the backside of the front module. Secure them in place by tightening the terminal screws using a small 3.0 mm slot/flat head screwdriver (not included).

4. Attach front module to mounted back plate, first by hooking the top of the front module to the top clips of the back plate, then by pressing the bottom of the front module until you hear a ‘click’. Ensure the ventilation system operates correctly.
   NOTE: Be careful not to pinch or trap signal wires when attaching the front module to the back plate.

5. Leave operating instructions with home owner.

OPERATION

This control requires no user input to operate the HRV/ERV. It runs automatically on ECO Mode at all times. The base ventilation rate requested by this control is 20 mins ON/40 mins OFF per hour of operation at the low speed. The controller may increase ventilation rates in order to attempt to maintain an RH level of 45% if it is possible to do so. Ad-ditionally, the ventilation rate may increase when the IAQ sensor detects elevated levels of Indoor Air Quality pollutants in the air. Examples of activities which can cause elevated IAQ pollutants are cooking activities, large gatherings of people, using cleaning products, and more.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The green LED on the back of the controller indicates a solid green light for successful connection to the HRV/ERV. If the light is blinking on and off, check to make sure the A and B signal wires are correctly connected. If there is no green light, the control has no power. Verify all wires are correctly connected.
Ensure the DIP switches are in the bottom “OFF” position.
