Partially Dedicated System Installation Notes The ERV must be balanced. Unit should be balanced on high speed with the furnace blower on. It is recommended that the furnace blower run continuously or ERV operation be interlocked with the furnace blower. -
Page 6: Fully Dedicated System
Fully Dedicated System Installation Notes The ERV must be balanced. When balancing, all external exhaust systems should be turned off (i.e. range hood, dryer exhaust, bathroom vents). All exhausting appliances should have their own make-up air, as this is not an intended use of the ERV system. The duct configuration may change depending on the ERV ... -
Page 7: Mounting The 30Erv
Mounting the 30ERV 1. Begin by locating the four mounting tabs on the left and right sides of the unit, at the front and back. Four Mounting 2. Using a flat / pan head screwdriver, bend out the four Points tabs to approximately 45 o . - Page 8 Hanging Straps - Installation Notes Use 4 screws and 4 washers (not provided) to attach the hanging straps to the floor joists. The washer must be wider than the eyelet of the grommet on the hanging strap. The hanging straps are designed to reduce the possibility of noise, resonance and harmonics.

Page 9: Drain Connection
Drain Connection - 130 ERVD & 170 ERVD Installation Notes The 130ERVD and 170ERVD cabinet has pre-punched holes for the drain (see below). The 130ERVD and 170 ERVD may produce some condensation during a defrost cycle. This water should flow into a nearby drain, or be taken away by a condensate pump. Insert the drain spout through the hole in the drain pan. -
Page 10: Grilles
Grilles Adjustable grilles should be used to balance the flow rates into and out of various rooms. The grilles should not be adjusted after balancing the unit. Grilles or diffusers should be positioned high on the wall or in the ceiling. Kitchen exhaust should never be connected to the range hood. -
Page 11: Grille Fittings
Grille Fittings Stack Head Elbow Quick Mount Fitting (part # 99-WF4 / 99WF6) Use this rough-in fitting before the drywall is installed. This (part # 99-QM6) fitting is ideal for running ducting through 2 x 4 (min.) Use this rough-in fitting before the drywall is studded walls. - Page 12 Lifebreath Weatherhood Fixed covered weatherhoods have a built-in bird screen with a 1/4 in (6 mm) mesh to prevent foreign objects from entering the ductwork. Installation Notes 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 ERV.

Page 14: Main Control Installation
Main Control Installation The Lifebreath Digital Control 99-DXPL02 is to be surface mounted onto a wall and the Lifebreath Ventilation Control 99-BC04 may either be installed onto a flush mounted electrical switch box or surface mounted onto a wall. Only one master control should be installed to a ventilation system (the face plate on this illustration may not be exactly the same as yours). -
Page 15: Selecting The Ventilation Rate
Selecting the Ventilation Rate That is Right for You The modes of operation and speeds are used to adjust your indoor ventilation rate. Experiment with the ventilation levels in your home to evaluate the ideal amount of ventilation to suit your home and personal preferences. -

Installation and Pairing of Repeaters: 99-RX02 The RX02 Repeaters are to be plugged directly into a 120V power outlet Turn on the main wall control by pressing the ON/OFF button RX02 with DXPL02 Controls: Press the left and right buttons simultaneously on the main wall control ( and RESET buttons). -
Page 18: Interlocking The Erv
Interlocking the ERV to an Air Handler or Furnace Blower ERV Terminal Block Connecting the ERV as illustrated will ensure the Wire air handler/furnace blower motor is operating Connector whenever the ERV is venting. The ERV must be interlocked to the furnace/air handler with a simplified installation (return/ Furnace return installation). -

Page 22: Balancing The Airflows
Balancing the Airflows Balan cing the airflows is critical to ensuring that the amount of air introduced from the outside of the building equals the amount of air exhausted to the outside of the building. If these two airflows are not properly balanced, the following issues may occur: ... -
Page 23: Determining The Cfm
Determining the CFM After balancing the airflows, calculate the CFM flow rate. Example This example shows how to determine the airflow for a 6 in diameter duct. If the duct velocity pressure reads 0.025 in w.g. on the digital manometer, use the chart that came with the pitot tube to determine a duct velocity of 640 ft/min. -
Page 24: Balancing The Airflows With A Pitot Tube
Balancing Preparation Prior to performing the air balancing procedure, perform the following steps: Seal the ductwork. Confirm the installation and proper operation of all the components of the ERV. Fully open the balancing dampers. Turn off all household exhaust devices (range hood, clothes dryer, bathroom fans). ... -
Page 25: Balancing The Airflow Using Door Ports
Balancing the Airflow using the Door Ports Door balancing ports are designed to be used in the conjunction with a digital manometer to measure the stale and fresh airflows for balancing. Step 1: Prepare the airflow measuring device by connecting the hoses to the low and high pressure side of the gauge. - Page 26 Airflow Reference Charts 130ERVD Model 130ERVD models have 3 airflow charts for their installer adjustable high speed settings.
