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 a higher

static pressure. After installation, the compatibility of the two pieces of equipment must be conrmed by

measuring the airow of the Fresh Air Appliance (FAA) using the balancing procedure found in this manual.

It is always important to assess how the operation of any FAA may interact with vented combustion equipment (i.e.

Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.)

Residential FAA 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 back-up ventilation, supplementary natural ventilation or 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 recommenced to check with local authorities having jurisdiction in your area prior to

installing this product.

This product earned the ENERGY STAR® by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by Natural Resources Canada

and the US EPA. This product meets ENERGY STAR requirements only when used in Canada.

To ensure quiet operation of the ENERGY STAR certified H/ERV, each product model must be installed using sound attenua-

tion techniques appropriate for the installation.

The way your heat/energy-recovery ventilator is installed can make a significant difference to the electrical energy you use.

To minimize the electricity use of the heat/energy recovery ventilator, a stand-alone fully ducted installation is recommend-

ed. If you choose a simplified installation that operates your forced air system for room-to-room ventilation, an electrically

efficient system that has an electronically commutated (EC) variable speed blower motor will minimize your electrical ener-

gy consumption and operating cost.

Installation of a user-accessible control with your product model will improve comfort and may significantly reduce the prod-

uct model’s energy use.

DIRECT CONNECTION of the FRESH air to living area to the RETURN PLENUM

of the FORCED AIR SYSTEM (Stale air drawn from key areas of home)

1. Forced air system blower must operate when ventilation from FAA is required.

The system should be set to run continuously or interlocked with FAA. See

forced air system electrical connection.

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 forced air system.

4. Before operation, the FAA’s airflow must be balanced on site. For this, use the

procedure found in the section “AIRFLOW BALANCING”. During the balancing

procedure, make sure the forced air system blower is running and the FAA is

running at "Normal" speed.

5. In the case of a multi-zone system, please contact Fantech customer

service prior to installing any installation type requiring the use of the

forced air system interlock.

6. The FAA should only be paired with one forced air system. In the case

where there are more than one forced air system please contact Fantech

customer service prior to making a product selection.

Suggested installation for:

• Forced air system (central

furnace or central air

conditioner)

• When ducting fresh air to

living area is not possible or

practical, i.e. expensive or

when the forced air system

will operate year-round

• Recommended install for

units with a built-in outdoor

air motorized damper (such

as the FIT 120E-D & the FIT

120E-D-EC) to avoid drawing

outdoor air directly into the

For Fresh Air Appliances (FAAs) that do not include an outdoor air motorized damper: If

you are using a partially dedicated or simplied installation, i.e. connecting the FAA supply

air duct to a forced air system's return air duct, the FAA must operate continuously. When

the FAA is turned off, no warm exhaust air will ow through the FAA but the forced air

system's blower will continue to draw in outdoor air through the FAA. When this happens,

the introduction of unconditioned outdoor air to the indoors can increase the load on the

system.

If the FAA is installed so that the homeowner can turn off the FAA, we recommend install-

ing a motorized damper between the FAA's supply air and the forced air system's return

air duct that will close when the FAA is not operating. To install a damper accessory to the

product, locate the auxiliary connector on the side of the electrical box. See Figure 1. Us-

ing the included wire harness, connect the damper accessory to the product.

EXTERIOR DUCTING INSTALLATION

WEATHERHOOD LOCATION

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

Locating the Intake Weatherhood

• 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 weatherhoods 1m (3') from corners.

• Do not locate in the garage, attic, crawl space, or underneath deck.

Locating the Exhaust Weatherhood

• At least 460mm (18") above ground or above the depth of expected snow accumulation

• Ideally, keep weatherhoods 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 WEATHERHOODS

A well designed and installed ducting system will allow the FAA to operate at its

maximum efficiency. The inner liner of the flexible insulated duct must be secured to the

sleeve of the weatherhood (as close to the outside as possible) and to the appropriate duct

connection on the FAA. The insulation should remain full and not crushed. The outer liner,

which acts as a vapor barrier, must be completely sealed to the outer wall and the FAA

using tape and/or caulking. A good bead of high quality caulking (preferably acoustical

sealant) will seal the inner flexible duct to both the FAA duct connection and the

weatherhood prior to securing them.

To minimize airflow restriction, the flexible insulated duct that connects the two outside

weatherhoods to the FAA should be stretched tightly and be as short as possible.

Twisting or folding the duct will severely restrict airflow.

See “Installation Diagram Examples” for installation examples.

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.

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.

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. Pull the insulation

over the duct and pull the vapor

barrier over the sleeve. Secure

with appropriate tape or

sealant.

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 FAA to the living areas in the house is recommended whenever possible, although flexible ducting

can be used in moderation when necessary.

• The main supply and return line to/from the FAA 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 FAA

Position a 12" (300mm) section of nonmetallic exible duct onto duct collar.

Using (1) cable tie, attach exible ducting with the correct FAA duct collar.

Supply air grilles location

In homes without a forced air system, fresh air should be supplied to all habitable rooms, including bedrooms and living areas. It should be supplied

from high wall or ceiling locations. Grilles that diffuse the air comfortably are recommended. In homes with a forced air system, you may want to

connect the FAA to the system's 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

forced air system's 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 FAA 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.

*Collars may differ depending on the unit.

FAA installation

LOCATION

The FAA must be located in a conditioned space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit. Typically

the FAA 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 FAA 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 FAA, damaging the unit.

Connecting any of these types of appliances to the

FAA will void your warranty.

• Have a nearby power supply

(120 volts, 60Hz)

• Choose a location which

allows the possibility

of mounting the unit to

supporting beams.

• To minimize noise, do not

install unit in living area

The unit should be installed in the wall mounted position in re-

gions where the outdoor temperature is 13°F (-25°C) or less for

48 consecutive hours or more while the indoor relative humidity

is at 40% or more.
