WARNING

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

NOTICE

Ceiling joist and wall stud must be subjected to static load more than five times the

weight of the product.

The special-purpose or dedicated parts, such as mounting fixtures, must be used if such

parts are provided.

Do not kink the power cord.

The OA duct and EA duct must be connected directly to the outside.

Make certain that the electric service supply voltage is AC 120 V, 60 Hz.

These fans are intended for residential use only.

Do not install the unit where ducts are configured as shown below.

Adapter

Protect the power cord from sharp edges, oil, grease, hot surfaces, chemicals or other

objects.

When the product is to no longer be used, it must not be left in place but removed,

to prevent it from possibly falling.

Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC)

and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

Always disconnect the power source before working on or near the fan, motor, fixture

or wiring cover.

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials

and vapors.

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the

flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating

equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by

the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

Excessive bending Successive bending Squeezed duct Bend close to duct adapter

Disconnect power by switching off wall switch first, then main switch and unplug the

product before working on unit when replacing the jumper cable with wall switch.

Install the unit in the area where air temperature is above 50 °F (10 °C) to avoid

condensation in unit.

Do not install the unit in the area where the air stream temperature may exceed 104 °F

(40 °C).

The unit must be installed in a mechanical room, basement, or other conditioned space.

CAUTION

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

NOTICE

The Panasonic Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) uses 2 blower fans driven by 2 DC motors.

The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption.

It also incorporates a thermal-cutoff for safety.

The exhaust air (EA) duct includes an electric damper to prevent backdrafting. The outside

air (OA) duct includes an electric damper to prevent backdrafting.

Energy Recovery Introduction: Compared to an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator), the ERV can

also transfer humidity and recover energy from that humidity. The ERV can exchange energy

between the stale EA and the “fresh” OA, transferring heat and moisture into the incoming

cold air in a heating climate and pre-cooling and reducing the humidity of the incoming hot

air in a cooling climate. This tempering and treatment of the required ventilation air helps

maintain a fresh environment even when the heating or cooling system is not operating.

WIRING DIAGRAM

(1)The HVAC/AHU signal cord, wall switch cord, boost switch cord, wall switch and

boost switch are not supplied.

Note

WIRING

METHOD

Jumper cable

(2)The terminal of wall switch has been connected by jumper cable for factory default.

(3) If a wall switch is not used to power down the ERV note that cutting power by

unplugging the unit, and/or opening the frame cover to maintenance, will disallow

the unit to run a power down process; leaving the dampers in the open position.

This could increase the risk of cold air infiltration which may lead to frost forming in

the ERV.

(4) If you do not intend to run the product for more than 24 hours we recommend you

connect product with a wall switch to control the standby and running of the product.

WIRING

METHOD

1.Open the knock-out hole and remove

maintenance plate and wiring cover. (Fig.1)

4.Insert wires into the corresponding terminals deeply through the ribs. (Fig.1)

Make sure the screw of terminal securely fastens the copper wire and the copper

wire is not exposed.

5.Reinstall the wiring cover and maintenance plate.

If you are not connecting to the HVAC/AHU,

please open knock-out hole for wall switch

cord/boost switch cord connection only. (Fig.1)

Note

CAUTION

The capacity of wall switch, boost switch

should be more than 120 V~3 A to control

the power of the product.

2.Thread wall switch cord, boost switch cord and

HVAC/AHU signal cord (optional) through

conduits respectively and install the conduits

into knock-out holes. (Fig.1)

1.Install ducts according to one of three methods as shown below.

Method -Simplified ducted installation (Return method)

Note

DUCTWORK

This method draws return air from the return air duct

of the air furnace and supplies an equal amount of

outside air farther downstream into the return duct.

(Fig.7 & Fig.8)

(1)The ERV unit must be balanced.

(2)It is mandatory that HVAC/AHU signal cord be

connected.

(3)Check local codes and authority having

jurisdiction for acceptance. Fig.7

INSTALLATION (WALL MOUNT)

DUCTWORK

This method draws return air from specific points in the house and supplies an equal

amount of outside air into the return air duct of the air furnace. (Fig.9 & Fig.10)

Return air ducts of ERV should be installed in areas of the home where the poorest indoor

air quality exists (bathroom and kitchen).

The air furnace blower should be running when the ERV is operating to evenly distribute the

outside air throughout the house.

Method -Partially dedicated ducted installation

Note

(1)The ERV unit must be balanced.

(2)It is mandatory that HVAC/AHU signal cord be

connected.

(3)Check local codes and authority having

jurisdiction for acceptance.

Note

(1)Must have 2-3 feet of straight duct run from all duct attachment points on the

ERV. Do not use any elbows or other peripheral pieces inside of 2-3 feet when

attaching duct runs to the ERV.

(2)Unit is normally balanced on high speed with the furnace blower on.

(3)A minimum separation of 40 inches (1 m) is recommended between the two

direct connections.

(4)The exhaust air connection shall be upstream of the supply air connection to

prevent exhausting any fresh air.

(5)The distance between two outdoor hoods please see P.12.

(6)The airflow must be confirmed on site using the balancing procedures found in

P.14. Fig.8
