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

recommended. If you choose a simpliﬁ ed installation that operates your furnace air handler for room-to-room ventilation,

an electrically efﬁ cient furnace that has an electronically commutated (EC) variable speed blower motor will minimize

your electrical energy consumption and operating cost.

C. Installation of a user-accessible control with your product model will improve comfort and may signiﬁ cantly reduce the

product model’s energy use.

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.

2.2.1 FULLY DUCTED SYSTEM (T-1) (THIS CONFIGURATION ALLOWS RECIRCULATION MODE TO OPERATE.)

2.2 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 2.2.1.

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: The central forced-air system blower operation can be

synchronized with the unit (see Section 3.3). It is recommended, but

not essential that the central forced-air system blower runs when

the unit is in operation.

2.2.3 SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION (T-4) (THIS CONFIGURATION DOES NOT ALLOW RECIRCULATION MODE TO OPERATE.)

The central forced-air system must be synchronized with the unit since fresh air evacuation and distribution

come from the same section. The central forced-air system must operate to avoid fresh air to be directly

drawn by the evacuation, which would reduce signiﬁ cantly fresh air supply to the building. See Section 3.3

for ducting.

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.

2.4 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). VR0003

TRANSITIONING TO 6-IN. DUCTS (FOR 110, 130 AND 150 CFM UNITS ONLY)

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 2.5. To

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

2.6 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

2.5 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.

A miswiring that sends a 24 VAC signal to the 6-position terminal block (OVR, LED, 12V, D-, D+, GND) could

permanently damage the control circuit. Verify carefully wire connections before powering-up the unit.

WARNING

The Virtuo technology allows synchronizing the unit operation with the central forced-air system operating time. It

prevents unnecessary central forced-air system operating time while providing a better air distribution.

To use this function, W and Y connections must be added to R and C connections to inform the unit that the central

forced-air system is running (refer to dotted lines in above diagram).

Never connect a 120-volt AC circuit to the terminals of the central forced-air system interlock (standard

wiring). Only use the low voltage class 2 circuit of the central forced-air system blower control. The unit is

designed for low voltages only. Connecting the unit on 120-volt circuit would damage it instantly.

Once wired, unit will toggle between

the Standby mode when contact is

opened and the selected mode when

contact is closed. Choose among these 4

conﬁ gurations: minimum (unit operating

in MIN speed), intermittent (unit

operating in MIN speed 20 min/hr then

as per INT conﬁ guration selection for

40 min), auto* (unit operating according

to outdoor temperature) and maximum

(unit operating in MAX speed) in DRY

option on the LCD screen when the VENT

contact is activated. Refer to section 5

for more details.

* In auto mode, the unit will operate as

follows:

• Less than -25°C = 10 min/hr

• -25°C to -7°C = 20 min/hr

• -7°C to 10°C = 40 min/hr

• 10°C to 25°C = MIN speed

• 25°C to 28°C = 30 min/hr

• 28°C to 33°C = 20 min/hr

• Above 33°C = 10 min/hr

NOTE : This dry contact option will override the main wall control so we do not

recommend the use of a wall control with this type of connection.

NOTE : Following ducting installation conﬁ guration and temperature conditions, it

may be necessary for the unit to operate continuously. Refer to section 2.2

for more details.

6. USING THIS UNIT

This balanced ventilation unit is designed to provide fresh air to your home while exhausting stale, humid air. Thanks to

its energy/heat recovery module, the unit recovers a large proportion of heat or energy that is part of indoor or outdoor

air according to the seasons to improve comfort and energy efﬁ ciency during the heating and the cooling periods. With

the Virtuo Air TechnologyTM, this unit responds to the variations in its environment in an autonomous way, ensuring to

provide a proper level of ventilation and air quality. This unit also features automatic modes (AUTO or SMART) that manage

autonomously the required ventilation level as per indoor and/or outdoor conditions. In colder areas, the unit will perform,

at intervals, recovery module discreet defrost to maintain performance and comfort.

6.1 YOUR VENTILATION SYSTEM

6.2 INTEGRATED CONTROL

All units are equipped with an integrated control, located in front of the electrical compartment. For more convenience,

these units can be controlled using an optional wall control or the central forced-air system thermostat equipped with

external fan activation.
