Broan HEPA 1000 Range User Manual


 
2. TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS (CONT’D)
A portion of stale air is exhausted to the outside and the rest is drawn to the unit.
Outside fresh air is blended with interior air and then filtered. This filtered air is
supplied to the retur
n (plenum) of the forced air unit.
To avoid the cross-contamination and achieve highest efficiencies, the f
orced air
system blower must always be ON (or the unit efficiency will be affected).
The HEPA 2000 and HF 2.0 units need to be ON all the time, since they don’t
have motorized dampers. If these units are OFF, then the forced air unit will draw
outdoor air inside.
NOTE: Home with multiple forced air systems should have 1 unit on each system.
