DIRECT CONNECTION of the ERV SUPPLY AIR STREAM to the SUPPLY AIR SIDE on the
FURNACE & EXHAUST AIR STREAM to the FURNACE COLD AIR RETURN
SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION (GOOD)
OPTION 2
1. Furnace blower must operate when ventilation from ERV is required. The
furnace should be set to run continuously or interlocked with ERV.
furnace electrical connection on page 19.
2. Due to the differences in pressure between the ERV and the equipment it is
being connected to, the ERV's airflow must be balanced on site, using the
procedure found section "AIRFLOW BALANCING".
* In the case of a multi-zone system, please contact Fantech customer
service prior to installing any installation type requiring the use of the

Fantech energy recovery ventilators (ERV) that use a supply fan shutdown for frost preven-
tion do not include an outdoor air motorized damper. If you are using a simplified instal-
lation, i.e. connecting the ERV supply air duct to a furnace's return air duct, the ERV must
operate continuously. When the ERV is turned off, no warm exhaust air will flow through
the ERV but the furnace's fan will continue to draw in outdoor air directly into the furnace.
If it's cold outside, cold air will be introduced, without re-heating, directly into the furnace.
If the ERV is installed such that the homeowner may turn off the ERV during the winter, we
recommend installing a motorized damper between the ERV's supply air and the furnace's
return air duct that closes when the ERV is not operating. See wiring diagram (figure 1).
