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.

Installation examples (Cont'd)
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 FAAs 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

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.
