Benefits of a Panasonic ERV in your home

• Continuously expels stale, polluted air and moisture from the home while supplying fresh filtered air from outdoors
• An ideal indoor air quality solution that helps you breathe well and maintain a healthy home
• Helps your builder comply with the latest green building codes and ventilation standards

Homeowner Controllable BOOST Function

When large gatherings require more ventilation, Intelli-Balance’s BOOST function provides increased airflow. With the flip of a switch, fan speed is set to HIGH and two DC motors BOOST output power, delivering increased ventilation on demand.

NOTE: When using an automated or timed switch, BOOST function will shut off automatically when cycle is complete. When using a standard wall switch, switch must be manually turned off when BOOST is no longer needed.

Filter Maintenance

Intelli-Balance filter maintenance and replacement can be easily performed by the homeowner in just a few minutes. See illustrations for guidance.

• Convenient indicator light and unobtrusive alarm signal from access panel and/or notification on the LCD wall control (IB-200 only), inform you when it’s time to inspect and clean filters.
• Two (2) filters clean the outgoing and incoming air before passing through the ERV core, extending the life of the core.
• Hinged access panel allows for easy filter inspection and replacement.
• Return air filter should be vacuumed with a soft brush attachment every 2-3 months or as needed.
• Outside Air (white paper) filter should be inspected every 90 days and replaced every six months to maintain peak performance (see replacement part numbers below)
