Getting to Know your Heat and Energy Recovery Ventilator Ventilation and Control Options How the Dehumidistat Works (Colder Climates) Glossary and Additional Information Warranty ........................................................................
3 Thank you for purchasing a Field Control Heat/Energy Recovery Ventilator (HRV/ERV). The HRV/ERV provides fresh air to your home while recovering energy from the air it exhausts. There are numerous benefits to a properly installed, operated, and maintained HRV/ERV: • Exhausts the stale, contaminated air, found in today’s tight buildings.
Your HRV/ERV system produces a dehumidifying effect when outdoor humidity levels are lower than indoor humidity levels. These conditions occur normally when outdoor termperatures are below 60°F. An additional dehumidification effect is achievable with the Optional Dehumidistat (Part DH1).
The Dehumidistat Ventilation Control offers ON/OFF, High Speed/Low speed plus an electronic dehumidistat. Key Features • 2 Speed Fan setting (Low/High) • Electronic Dehumidistat • Instruction Card is inserted in the control • Slim-line design • Connect to 3 wire 20 gauge low voltage wire.
The timer w ill override th e Operational Mo de (regardles s of the setting) and initiate high speed ventilation. Upon completion of the timer cycle, the HRV/ERV returns to your selected Operational Mode and speed setting. Lifestyle 20/40/60 Minute Timer Initiates high speed ventilation for 20, 40 or 60 minutes.
1. Inspect Exterior Hoods at least once a month. Make sure exhaust and fresh air supply hoods are not blocked or restricted by leaves, grass, or snow. In winter, it is especially important to make sure snow is not blocking the hoods or that frost has not built up on the wire mesh (bird screen).
THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE, PATENTED ALUMINUM CORE The cross-flow heat recovery core transfers heat between the two airstreams. It is easily removed for cleaning or service. MOTORS AND BLOWERS Each air stream has one centrifugal blower driven by a common PSC motor.
Port Configuration and Airflow Model FC95HRV In order to make the HRV as space efficient as possible, the INDOOR supply and return ports are converted from round to oval shape.

13 The Three Methods of Installation The following three installation methods are for the HRV/ERV system: • The Simplified installation. • The Partially Dedicated Installation • The Fully Dedica.
DIRECT CONNECTION of both the HR V SUPPL Y AIR STREAM and EXHA UST AIR STREAM to the FURNACE COLD AIR RETURN Installation Notes • Unit is normally balanced on HIGH speed with the furnace blower ON. • A minimum separation of 40 inches (1m) is recommended between the two direct connections.
DIRECT CONNECTION of the SUPPL Y AIR STREAM to the FURNA CE COLD AIR RETURN (Stale air drawn fr om key areas of home) Forced Air Furnace Outdoors EXHA UST AIR from various parts of home. i.e. bathrooms (if required), kitchens (if required). Cool Air Return Return Air 3' min.
Outdoors Installation Notes • Unit is normally balanced on HIGH speed with the furnace blower ON. • W eatherhood arrangement is for drawing purposes only . Six feet (2m) minimum separation is recommended. The W eatherhood must also be 18" (460mm) above grade minimum.
Installation STEP 4. Level the unit from left to right and front to back. - Adjust the unit down by lifting up on the buckle. - Adjust the unit up by pulling down vertically on the Hand Loops while lifting up the bottom of the cabinet. Location Install the unit in a heated space that provides convenient space for service access.
Drain Connection (HRV only) Grilles Drain Connection The HRV may produce some condensation during a defrost cycle. This water should flow into a nearby drain, or be taken away by a condensate pump. The HRV cabinet has prepunched holes for the drain (see below).
19 Weatherhood Installation Installing the Ducting from the Weatherhoods to the HRV/ERV The inner and outer liners of the flexible insulated duct must be clamped to the sleeve of the weatherhoods (as close to the outside as possible) and the appropriate port on the HRV/ERV.
20 Installation of the Dehumidistat or Dehumidistat Ventilation Control Standard Series Controls may be installed onto a flush mounted 2" x 4" electrical switch box or it may be surface mounted onto a wall.
21 Installation and Operation of 20/40/60 Minute Timer Operating your 20/40/60 Minute Timer Press and release the Select Button to activate high speed override. The High Speed Status Light will illuminate and the unit will run on high speed ventilation for 20 minutes.
22 Installation of the Healthy Home System™ Control (HHSC) Choose a Location The HHSC controller can be installed anywhere in your home. To simplify the installation, locate the HHSC control near the HVAC system and/or the HRV/ERV, since the HHSC does not require routine adjustment or occupant interaction.

26 Interlocking the HRV/ERV to an Air Handler/Furnace Blower Connecting the HRV/ERV as illustrated will ensure the Air Handler/Furnace Blower Motor is operating whenever the HRV/ERV is ventilating.
27 • A positive or negative pressure may occur in the house • HRV/ERV may not operate at its maximum efficiency • The unit may not defrost properly Air Flow Measuring Gauges The magnehelic gauge and the digital manometer are suitable instruments for the balancing of air flows.
28 Balancing the Air Flows with a Pitot T ube STEP 1. D rill a 3/16” hole in the duct (ideally 3 f eet downstream of a ny elbows or bends and 1 f oot upstream of any elbows or bends) in the F resh Air and Stale air streams.
29 Air Flow Balancing using the Door Ports FC155HRV & FC200HRV only Door balancing ports (not on all models) are designed to be used in conjunction with a Magnehelic Gauge or Digital Manometer to measure the Stale and Fresh airflows for balancing.
30 Push and turn with slotted screwdriver. Damper automatically locks when pressure is released. Observe the location of the screws when connecting ductwork to the collar. Screws should be located no further than 1/2” from the outside edge of the collar and they should be no longer than 3/4”.
