This is the safety--alert symbol !!When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or manuals,be alert to the potential for personal injury.Understand these signal words; DANGER, WARNING, andCAUTION. These words are used with the safety--alert symbol.DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result insevere personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards whichcould result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used toidentify unsafe practices which may result in minor personal injuryor product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlightsuggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, oroperation.INTRODUCTIONThe Energy/Heat Recovery Ventilator (ERV/HRV) is used toexchange indoor stale air with outside fresh air. The unit is equippedwith a special energy/heat recovery core which transfers bothsensible and/or latent heat between the fresh incoming air and staleexhaust air. The cross--flow design core allows entering and leavingair streams to transfer heat and/or latent energy without mixing (SeeFig. 14).The model operates at 2 airflows, 50 CFM in low speed and 100CFM in high speed. This unit comes in two configurations, verticalor horizontal. Special attention should be given to duct application,balancing the ERV/HRV, and locating unit for easy access androutine maintenance.INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONSStep 1.—Inspect EquipmentMove carton to final installation location. Remove ERV/HRV fromcarton taking care not to damage unit. Remove all packaging andinspect unit for damage. Remove parts bag from inside unit. Fileclaim with shipping company if shipment is damaged orincomplete. Check to make sure ERV/HRV unit matches Fig. 1 orFig. 2.Step 2.—Select LocationThe ERV/HRV should be located in a conditioned space and inclose proximity to a fused power source. It should be easilyaccessible for routine maintenance.If ERV/HRV is installed independent of a forced--air system, unitshould be located near the center of the air distribution system. IfERV/HRV is installed in conjunction with a forced--air system, unitshould be located next to (or close to) the indoor equipment.
