Consumer Information

A. To ensure quiet operation of the H/ERV, each product model must be installed using sound attenuation techniques

appropriate for the installation.

B. The way your heat/energy-recovery ventilator is installed can make a signiﬁ cant 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 re-

commended. If you choose to connect the H/ERV to the ducting of your furnace air handler for room-to-room ventilation,

an electrically efﬁ cient furnace that has a variable speed blower motor will minimize your electrical energy consumption

and operating cost.

Make sure that no piece of mineral wool will enter in the unit during installation. Otherwise, this could reduce

airﬂ ow and generate vibrations and noise in the unit.

CAUTION

2.4.1 FULLY DUCTED SYSTEM (PRIMARILY FOR HOMES WITH RADIANT HOT WATER OR ELECTRIC BASEBOARD HEATING)

2.4 INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK AND THE REGISTERS

Never install a stale air exhaust register in a room where there is a combustion device, such as a furnace, gas

water heater, ﬁ replace or any appliance or equipment that can generate gaseous contaminants, or pollutants.

The negative pressure this could create in the room may impair proper evacuation of the gas or pollutants,

which may have severe health consequences.

WARNING

STALE AIR FROM BUILDING:

Same as for Fully Ducted System, described on point 2.4.1.

FRESH AIR TO BUILDING:

• Connect the fresh air distribution duct of the unit to the central

forced-air system return duct at least 10 feet away from the

central forced-air system (A+B)*.

* This 10-ft. distance applies only in areas where the outside

temperature falls below the freezing point 0°C (32°F).

NOTE: It is recommended, but not essential that the central forced-

air system blower runs when the unit is in operation.

2.4.2 EXHAUST DUCTED SYSTEM (DUCTING TO A FORCED AIR SYSTEM)

Duct connection to the central forced-air system can be regulated by some codes and standards. It is your

responsibility to consider and comply with your local requirements to avoid any non-compliance.

WARNING

NOTE: A home with multiple forced air systems should have one

unit on each system.

Stale air from

If ducts have to go through an unconditioned space (e.g.: attic), always use insulated ducts to prevent condensation

formation inside and outside ducts, which could cause material damage and/or mold growth. Moreover, if

fresh air to building duct and/or stale air from building duct goes/go through an unconditioned space, the unit

must be set to operate continuously in cold conditions (below 10°C/50°F). Continuous air movement inside

ducts will prevent condensation formation. The unit can be stopped temporarily for maintenance and/or repair

purposes in such conditions.

CAUTION

A+B= MIN 10’

In every case, bathroom fans and a range hood could be used to exhaust stale air. However, please note that an optional

bathroom installation kit (no. IKBV1000 for Venmar units) is available for houses where there is no bathroom fan.

Unit with side ports shown for graphical representation

Do not connect the unit to any forced air system distribution duct.

CAUTION

2.4.3 SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION (DUCTING TO A FORCED AIR SYSTEM)

The central forced-air system blower must always be in operation when the unit is running since fresh air

evacuation and distribution come from the same section. The central forced-air system blower must operate

to avoid fresh air to be directly drawn by the evacuation, which would reduce signiﬁ cantly fresh air supply

to the building.

CAUTION

Duct connection to the central forced-air system can be regulated by some codes and standards. It is your

responsibility to consider and comply with your local requirements to avoid any non-compliance.

WARNING

Fresh air and exhaust air ﬂ ow through the central forced-air

system ducts, which simpliﬁ es the installation.

The use of bathroom fans and a range hood is suggested to

exhaust stale air.

STALE AIR FROM BUILDING:

Connect the stale air intake port of the unit to the central forced-

air system return duct at least 3 feet ahead of the fresh air

distribution from the unit.

FRESH AIR TO BUILDING:

Connect the fresh air distribution duct of the unit to the central

forced-air system return duct at least 10 feet away from the

central forced-air system (A+B)*.

* This 10-ft. distance applies only in areas where the outside

temperature falls below the freezing point 0°C (32°F).

CAUTION

2.5 CONNECTING THE DRAIN (HRV ONLY)

Install the drain hose included and run it to a drain or a pail. This unit may generate a large amount of water

in cooler weather. It is necessary to install the drain hose properly to prevent water damage and/or material

damage.

CAUTION

• Cut the appropriate lengths of drain tubing (see illustration at right).

• Connect the tubings to the provided adaptor.

• Make a water trap loop in the tube to prevent the unit from drawing

unpleasant odors from the drain source.

• Add water in the loop to prevent noise or hiss.

• Make sure there is a distance of at least 2" between the unit and the

tubing loop (see illustration at right).

• Using the tie wraps provided, attach the tubing as illustrated below.

• Run the tube to the ﬂ oor drain or to an alternate drain pipe or pail.

• IMPORTANT: If using a pail to collect water, place the tube end

approximately 1" inside the pail in order to prevent water from being

drawn back up into the unit.

2.6 INSTALLING DUAL EXTERIOR HOOD USING TANDEM® TRANSITION KIT (OPTIONAL)

For units set at 110 CFM or less, a Tandem transition kit can be used instead of 2 exterior

hoods; but take into account this device will generate approximately an additional 0.2 in w.g.

static pressure depending on the installation.

The minimum joist opening needed to install the Tandem® transition is 9¾". The maximum

height of the Tandem transition is 8¾".

To connect the insulated ﬂ exible ducts to the Tandem transition (Exhaust air to outdoors

and Fresh air from outdoors), follow the instructions included with the Tandem transition kit

(part no.14690), included in IKSV1000 kit. VR0003

TRANSITIONING TO 6-IN. DUCTS

If using 6-in. ducts, install 5-in. to 6-in. transitions on the ports, and secure using duct tape only. If rigid ducting is used,

install a 12-in. section of ﬂ exible duct between the transition and the rigid ducting (see above).

RIGID DUCTS

To prevent potential water leakage in cold side rigid ducting insulation, seal all rigid ducting joints with duct tape.

To avoid transmission of vibrations, always use a 12-inch section of ﬂ exible duct to connect rigid ducts to the unit. To

connect insulated rigid ducts to the unit (cold side) using insulated ﬂ exible ducts, follow instructions in section 2.7. To

connect regular rigid ducts (warm side) to the unit using non-insulated ﬂ exible ducts, use a tie wrap.

2.8 CONNECTING THE DUCTS TO THE UNIT

INSULATED FLEXIBLE DUCTS

Use the following procedure to connect the insulated ﬂ exible ducts to the ports of the unit (exhaust to outside and fresh

air from outside).

1. Expose the ﬂ exible duct by pulling back the insulation, and place it over the inner port ring.

2. Attach the ﬂ exible duct to the port using a tie wrap.

3. Seal the joint using duct tape.

4. Pull the insulation and vapor barrier over the joint, tuck them between the inner and outer rings of the double collar and

fasten them in place using duct tape.

J0157

• If ducts have to go through an unconditioned space (e.g.: attic), always use insulated ducts to prevent

condensation formation inside and outside ducts, which could cause material damage and/or mold growth.

• Do not use screws to connect the ducts or transitions to the ports so as not to interfere with ports

inner dampers operation. A non-functioning damper could freeze the unit, which could cause damages.

CAUTION

The vapor barrier should remain intact and free of cracks or openings. An opening could produce condensation

inside or outside duct, which could cause material damage and/or mold growth in the long run.

CAUTION

2.7 INSTALLING THE EXTERIOR HOODS

To avoid cross-contamination:

• Keep at least 6 feet between both hoods OR use approved combined

hoods model 14690.

• Install hood(s) at least at 18 inches away from the ground OR depth of

expected snow accumulation, whichever is greater.

Refer to illustration above for proper connection

method of the insulated ducts to the hoods. An

“Anti-Gust Intake Hood” should be installed in

regions where a lot of snow is expected to fall.

7. INSTALLER’S TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT’D)

WARNING DESCRIPTION SOLUTION

W61 Protection mode

electronics

overheating

The unit is currently in protection mode. The power transmitted to the motor is deliberately

reduced to decrease electronics temperature. The unit will exit this mode by itself once

conditions are back to normal. It is normal to observe reduction in airﬂ ows during this period.

This condition should appear only when the unit is set in high speed and located in a warmer

environment, for example over 30°C (86°F). If not, contact customer service.

Make sure that no piece of mineral wool will enter in the unit during installation. Otherwise, this could reduce

airﬂ ow and generate vibrations and noise in the unit.

CAUTION

8. MAINTENANCE

High voltage risk. During maintenance or repairs, always stop the unit then unplug it to prevent any risk of

electric shock. The wearing of safety glasses and gloves is recommended when handling unit components to

prevent any risk of injury that could be caused by the presence of thin metal.

1. Disconnect power cord.

2. The door of this unit is hinged and maintained closed by 2 latches. Open them and set aside.

3. Clean the inside of the door with a damp cloth.

4. Clean ﬁ lters:

• Remove ﬁ lters.

• Vacuum to remove most of the dust.

• Wash with a mixture of warm water and mild soap. You may add bleach if you wish to

disinfect (one tablespoon per gallon). Rinse thoroughly. Shake ﬁ lters to remove excess

water and let dry.

Note: The optional HEPA membrane ﬁ lter is a disposable ﬁ lter. It should be replaced when it is

too dirty. Vacuum the HEPA membrane ﬁ lter quarterly using the dusting brush attachment

to extend its service life.

5. Remove the core.

6. Clean the condensing tray with a damp cloth.

7. Check the exterior air intake hood:

• Make sure there are no leaves, twigs, ice or snow that could be drawn into the vent.

• Clean if necessary.

8. Rotate the blower wheels by hand. If one of the wheels does not rotate easily, contact customer service.
