6.0 Installation
6.1 ADJUSTING 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),
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.
6.2 LOCATING 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.
• 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).
