PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For residential use only
Before installation, careful consideration must be given to how this system will operate if connected to any other piece of mechanical equipment, i.e. a forced air furnace or air handler operating at higher static pressure. After installation, the compatibility of the two pieces of equipment must be confirmed by measuring the airflow of the Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) using the balancing procedure found in this manual. It is always important to assess how the operation of any ERV may interact with vented combustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.)
Residential ERV ventilation systems are not suitable for pool or spa applications.

Products are designed and manufactured to provide reliable performance, but they are not guaranteed to be 100% free of defects. Even reliable products will experience occasional failures, and this possibility should be recognized by the user. If these products are used in a life support ventilation system where failure could result in loss or injury,
the user should provide adequate backup ventilation, supplementary natural ventilation or a failure alarm system, or acknowledge willingness to accept the risk of such loss or injury.
Your ventilation system should be installed in accordance with the local building code that is in effect, in absence of such requirements, it is recommended to check with local authorities having jurisdiction in your area prior to installing this product.

Installation examples

FULLY DEDICATED SYSTEM
BEST FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION
Stale air is drawn from key areas of the home (bathroom, kitchen, laundry) Fresh air is supplied to main living areas

Suggested installation for:

• Hydronic baseboard
• In-floor heating
• Electric baseboard
• Mini split heat pump

Benefits: Provides the best fresh air distribution in the house; lowest operation cost since the furnace/air handler unit is not needed.

1. Stale air is drawn from key areas of the home requiring local exhaust (bathroom, kitchen, laundry room).
2. Fresh air is distributed directly to habitable rooms in the house (bedrooms, living room)
3. The ERV’s airflow must be balanced after installation using the procedure found in the section “AIRFLOW BALANCING”

• Ductwork layout may differ depending on model

DIRECT CONNECTION of the FRESH air to the living area to the RETURN PLENUM of the AIR HANDLER (Stale air drawn from key areas of the home)
PARTIALLY DEDICATED SYSTEM (BETTER)

1. The furnace blower must operate when ventilation from ERV is required. The furnace should be set to run continuously or interlocked with ERV. See furnace electrical connection on page 19.
2. Stale air is drawn from key areas of the home (bathroom, kitchen, laundry room).
3. Fresh air is supplied to the return air plenum of the furnace.
4. Due to the difference in pressure between the ERV and the equipment, it is being connected to the ERV’s airflow must be balanced on-site, using the procedure found in the section “AIRFLOW BALANCING”

• In the case of a multi-zone system, please contact Fantech customer service prior to installing any installation type requiring the use of the furnace interlock”

ERV/Furnace ducting for Partially Dedicated System

• Ductwork layout may differ depending on model

**** Fantech Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) that use a supply fan shutdown for frost prevention do not include an outdoor air motorized damper. If you are using a simplified installation, i.e. connecting the ERV supply air duct to a furnace’s return air duct, the ERV must operate continuously. When the ERV is turned off, no warm exhaust air will flow through the ERV but the furnace’s fan will continue to draw in outdoor air directly into the furnace.

If it’s cold outside, cold air will be introduced, without re-heating, directly into the furnace.

*Transformer and Damper motor not included

DIRECT CONNECTION of both the ERV SUPPLY AIR STREAM and EXHAUST AIR STREAM to the FURNACE COLD AIR RETURN

EXTERIOR DUCTING INSTALLATION

WEATHER HOOD LOCATION

• Decide where your intake and exhaust hoods will be located.

Locating the Intake Weather hood

• Should be located upstream (if there are prevailing winds) from the exhaust outlet.
• At a minimum distance to 900 mm (3′) away from dryer vents and furnace exhaust (medium or high-efficiency furnaces), driveways, oil fill pipes, gas meters, or garbage containers.
• At a minimum height of 460mm (18’’) above the ground, or above the level of expected snow accumulation.
• Ideally, keep weather hoods 1m (3′) from corners.
• Do not locate in the garage, attic, crawl space, or underneath the deck.

Locating the Exhaust Weather hood

• At least 460mm (18″) above ground or above the depth of expected snow accumulation
• Ideally, keep weather hoods 1m (3′) from corners.
• Not near a gas meter, electric meter or a walkway where fog or ice could create a hazard
• Do not locate in a garage, workshop or other unheated space

INSTALLING THE DUCTING TO THE WEATHER HOLDS
A well-designed and installed ducting system will allow the ERV to operate at its maximum efficiency. The inner liner of the flexible insulated duct must be secured to the sleeve of the weather hood (as close to the outside as possible) and to the appropriate duct connection on the ERV. The insulation should remain full and not be crushed. The outer liner, which acts as a vapor barrier, must be completely sealed to the outer wall and the ERV using tape and/or caulking. A good bead of high-quality caulking (preferably acoustical sealant) will seal the inner flexible duct to both the ERV duct connection and the weather hood prior to securing them.

To minimize airflow restriction, the flexible insulated duct that connects the two outside weather hoods to the ERV should be stretched tightly and be as short as possible. Twisting or folding the duct will severely restrict airflow.
S ee “Installation Diagram Examples” for installation examples.

STEPS FOR HOOD INSTALLATION:

1. Using the duct connection of the outside hood, outline the intake & exhaust holes to be cut. The holes should be slightly larger than the duct connection to allow for the thickness of the insulated flexible duct. Cut a hole for both the intake and exhaust hoods.
2. Pull the insulated flexible duct through the opening until it is well extended and straight. Slide the duct’s inner vinyl sleeve over the hood duct connection and secure it. Pull the insulation over the duct and pull the vapor barrier over the sleeve. Secure with appropriate tape or sealant.
3. Push the hood into the opening and then attach the hood to the outside wall with mounting screws. Repeat the installation procedure for both the supply and exhaust hoods.
4. Using a caulking gun, seal around both hoods to prevent any leaks.

Interior ducting installation

• To maximize airflow through the ductwork system, all ducts should be kept short and have as few bends or elbows as possible.
• 45º elbows are preferable to 90º.
• Use “Y“ ducts instead of “T” ducts whenever possible.
• All duct joints must be fastened with screws or duct sealant and wrapped with aluminum foil duct tape to prevent leakage.
• Galvanized ducting from the ERV to the living areas in the house is recommended whenever possible, although flexible ducting can be used in moderation when necessary.
• To avoid possible noise transfer through the ductwork system, a short length (approximately 300 mm, 12’’) of the nonmetallic flexible insulated duct should be connected between the ERV and the supply/exhaust ductwork system.
• The main supply and return line to/from the ERV must have the same diameter as the duct connection or larger.
• Branch lines to the individual rooms may be as small as 100 mm (4’’).

Installing ducting to ERV
For flexible duct installation, slide flexible ducting onto the duct connection. Then install a cable tie over the flexible duct to prevent leakage between the ducting and the duct connection.

In the case of solid ducting, slide duct over duct connection, screw in place and seal.

Supply air grilles location
In homes without a forced air furnace, fresh air should be supplied to all habitable rooms, including bedrooms and living areas. It should be supplied from the high wall or ceiling locations. Grilles that diffuse the air comfortably are recommended. In homes with a forced air furnace, you may want to connect the ERV to the furnace ductwork (see information below).
Exhaust air grilles location
The stale air exhaust system is used to draw air from the points in the house where the worst air quality problems occur. It is recommended that return air ducts be installed in the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room. Additional return air ducts from strategic locations may be installed. The furnace return duct may also be used to exhaust from. In this method, the exhaust air is not ducted back from bathrooms, kitchens, etc to the ERV with “dedicated lines”.

**** As per building codes and installation requirements for combustion appliances:
Air return ducts, or openings for air return, should not be placed in enclosed spaces containing combustion appliances that are subject to spillage.

ERV installation

• Have a nearby power supply(120 volts, 60Hz)
• Choose a location that allows the possibility of mounting the unit to supporting beams.
• To minimize noise, do not install the unit in the living area

LOCATION
The ERV must be located in a conditioned space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit. Typically the ERV would be located in the mechanical room or an area close to the outside wall where the weatherhoods will be mounted. If a basement area is not convenient or does not exist, a utility room may be used.
Attic installation must meet the following conditions:

• Attic temperature must be above freezing conditions at all times and for best performance should be 12°C (54 °F).
• The condensate drain (if included) must be installed so that the condensate drains and is protected from freezing.
• The attic is easily accessible for equipment maintenance and inspection.

Connecting appliances to the ERV is not recommended. These include:

• Clothes dryer
• Range top
• Stovetop fan
• Central vacuum system
• Bathroom exhaust fans unless they are specifically designed for this purpose
  These appliances may cause lint, dust or grease to collect in the ERV, damaging the unit.

**** Connecting any of these types of appliances to the ERV will void your warranty.

Mounting

CEILING INSTALLATION

1. Using the screw with the washer mount the mounting bracket through the rubber insulator. Ensure the bracket is straight.

2. Using the screw with the washer mount the brackets at the bottom of the unit.
   

3. Slide the unit into the bracket as shown above.

4. Secure both sides of the unit using the same method as step 1.

**** We recommend placing the duct on the unit at this stage of the unit’s installation.

WALL INSTALLATION

1. Using the screw with the washer mount the mounting bracket through the rubber insulator. Ensure the bracket is straight.

2. Using the screw with the washer mount the brackets at the bottom of the unit.
   

3. Slide the unit in the bracket and secure it with a setting screw.

Airflow adjustment & balancing

**** BALANCING THE AIRFLOWS IS CRUCIAL TO ENSURE OPTIMAL OPERATION OF THE UNIT. IF THE AIRFLOW IS NOT PROPERLY BALANCED, THE THE FOLLOWING ISSUES MAY OCCUR:

• SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE PRESSURE INSIDE THE HOUSE
• THE UNIT’S EFFICIENCY MAY BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED
• THE UNIT’S DEFROST MAY NOT WORK EFFECTIVELY
• CAN LEAD TO AIR LEAKS OR BACK DRAFTING OF ANY COMBUSTION APPLIANCES.

The airflow adjustment and balancing procedure consist of adjusting the fresh airflow to make sure it meets the requirements for the building and then balancing the system to make sure there is an equal amount of stale air being exhausted. In the case that the airflow is not exactly the same, it is recommended to have a higher stale airflow of up to 10% in colder climates to ensure that the temperature of the fresh airflow coming from the outside is as close to the room temperature as possible.

GENERAL PREPARATION:
Before performing the adjustment and balancing for the unit, make sure to check the following:

• Seal all the ductwork
• Fully open all dampers (if present)
• Turn off all other exhaust appliances such as range hoods, dryers, bathroom fans, etc.
• If performing balancing during cold weather, make sure the unit is not operating in defrost mode.
• If the installation type is Simplified or Partially Dedicated, make sure that the furnace/air handler blower is operating at normal speed during the balancing sequence.
• When reading with a mechanical type manometer (Magnehelic), make sure the manometer is placed on a level surface

For optimal performance, ERV unit should be re-balanced after a major renovation or after the installation of extra grilles or registers.

• In cold climates, continuous excessive positive pressure inside the house may drive moisture inside the external walls of the house. Moisture present inside the external wall may condense if the outside temperature is cold enough and can cause damage to structural components. A symptom of excessive positive pressure inside a house is frozen door locks.
• Continuous excessive negative pressure can have undesirable effects. In some geographic locations, negative pressure can increase the infiltration of soil gases such as methane and radon. Negative pressure is also undesirable where combustion equipment is present and may cause back drafting of the combustion gases.

Measuring the airflow using station (grid) method

1. Cut a hole in the duct and insert a flow measuring station. Make sure that the flow measuring station’s air direction arrow points in the direction of the airflow. Secure the flow measuring station with aluminum foil tape.
2. Before taking the reading, make sure that the Magnehelic gauge is level and at 0. Refer to the flow measuring station’s chart to determine your unit’s airflow velocity.
3. Adjust the “Supply Air Out” damper until you reach the desired velocity. Follow steps 1-3 to adjust the “Exhaust Air Out” damper, if needed.

• To avoid airflow turbulence and incorrect readings, the airflow velocity should be measured on a section of steel ducting. Reading should also be taken at a minimum distance of 457 mm (18″) from the unit or elbow. Measurement should also be made prior to any transition in the ductwork so entire airflow is measured.

WALL CONTROLS

• Please see instruction manuals for individual controls for proper wiring and set up of control systems.

  1. Ensure that unit is not plugged when connecting to the control
  2. Recirculation mode is only available with the Flex100H ES, HERO series, and the models with the “R” suffix at the end of the model number.

The wiring connectors can be removed for easier connection.
