CaseINSTALLATIONBEFORE YOU BEGINRead all instructions before installing the unit. Also review supplemental instructions included with anycontrols that will be installed. Carefully unpack and inspect the unit for shipping damage. Open the accessdoor and inspect inside the unit. Attach the four duct collars to the unit with the screws provided in theplastic small-parts bag.PLANNINGYOUR INSTALLATIONLOCATION OF THE UNITSelect a location so that: The fresh air intake vent from the outside isplaced a minimum of ten feet from any othercontaminated exhaust vent, and is at least30" long. The exhaust outlet and fresh air inlet on theoutside of the building should be at least ten feetapart to avoid cross-contamination.

ERV EV130, EV200, AND EV300INSTALLATIONPLANNINGYOUR INSTALLATIONDUCTS TO THE OUTSIDEThe Exhaust Air Duct and the Outside Air Duct connect the unit to the outside. Flexible insulated ductis typically used. See Duct Sizes.DUCT SIZESEV130 - 6" round insulated duct, 8" round insulated duct mayExhaust Air & Outside Air (EA & OA) be used to maintain maximum airflowEV200 and EV300 - 8" round insulated duct recommendedFresh Air & Stale Air (FA & RA)6" round or 8" oval rigid un-insulatedDucts from unit to house inunconditioned spacesAll ducts from unit to house in unconditioned spaces like atticsand crawl spaces must be insulated.INSIDE DUCTWORK SYSTEMFor houses without ducted heating or coolingsystems – see Figure 3 (F3):In most houses one or two fresh air grilles ina central part of the house provide effectivedistribution of the fresh air into the home,particularly when the stale exhaust air is picked upat several points. Because the fresh air is not fullyconditioned, the fresh air supply grilles should belocated in a traffic area like a hallway or stairwayrather than in a sitting area.If you want to get fresh air into specific rooms withhigh occupancy, you can split up the fresh air supply.For houses with forced-air heating and coolingsystems – see Figure (F2), (F4) and (F5):Most units are installed with the fresh air ductconnected directly to a return duct for the mainheating and cooling system. Be careful to connectthe fresh air duct at least three feet from the returnplenum to minimize suction from the furnaceblower. A connection closer to the furnace mayresult in unbalanced flow and associated problems.For installations that collect stale air fromspecific rooms in the home – see Figures (F2)and (F3):Locate stale air return grilles (RA) in rooms wheremoisture and odors are generated: bathrooms,the kitchen, and perhaps other areas wherecontaminants are generated such as in the homeworkshop. Return grilles in these other areas maybe dampered so that they can be shut off whennot in use. A central location such as a hallway isalso acceptable but won’t clear humidity and odorsfrom baths and kitchens as rapidly.8RENEWAIRE.COM INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 1.800.627.4499Locate stale air return grilles (RA) near the ceilingon inside walls. Stale air returns are usually easiestto install in interior partitions. Put them in theceiling if that is easier.Stale Air Return Grille Sizes (8" round on EV300)Bathroom: 4" X 10" or 6" X 10" - 40 to 60 sq. in.Kitchen: 6" X 10" or 60 sq. in.Can an ERV be used to ventilate bathrooms?A RenewAire ERV can be used as a central exhaustsystem in place of bathroom exhaust fans. Tie agrille in each bathroom directly back to the ERV– see Figure F2. A successful installation shouldprovide at least 50 CFM of exhaust per moistureproducing bathroom. When used for bathroomexhaust, the EV130 should be used for no more thantwo bathrooms, the EV200 for up to four bathroomsand the EV300 for up to six bathrooms. Install acontrol in each bathroom ventilated by the ERV (seeControls, page 12-13).For houses where radon is a concern:The first line of defense against radon shouldalways be techniques that prevent the entry ofradon into the home, such as under-slab suction,vented perimeter drainage, and crack sealing.However, if moderate levels of radon continue tobe present, it is important that the unit slightlypressurize the basement, not de-pressurizethe basement. Installation of this unit for radonmitigation is beyond the scope of this manual.Consult a radon mitigation professional.

The result is that natural air infiltration rates are often too low to provide acceptable indoor air quality.
