5. INSTALLATION OF THE SYSTEM
5.1 INSTALLATION KITS (PRO 100 AND PRO 200 MODELS ONLY)
The table below indicates the installation kits which are needed to correctly install your air exchanger.
Normally, the air exchanger is installed in the basement because it then becomes easier to clean. The model PRO 200, however, can be
installed in the attic if a basement installation is impracticable. (Models PRO 100, 41000 and 1601510 should not be installed in the attic.)
When you have to install extra registers in the ground floor, use either: two 6” x 10” registers or three 4” x 10” registers.
We strongly recommend that you purchase VENMAR kits and registers.
5.2 LOCATION OF COMPONENTS
Carefully plan the location of all the components before proceeding with the actual installation. The following suggestions will help you
find the best location for each components.
Stale air intake register:
– Always locate the register at the highest point in the house, because humidity is concentrated at this point.
– Position the register as far from the stairway as possible and in such a way that the air circulates in all the lived-in spaces in the house.
– Avoid installing the register in a bathroom or a bedroom; place it in a location where the air flows freely (e.g.: living room, kitchen,
hallway).
– For silent operation, leave a minimum of 15 feet of flexible duct between the stale air intake register and the unit.
– Do not install the register close to a source of heat. The temperature of the intake air must not exceed 50°C.
Fresh air distribution register:
– Always locate the register in a large, open area in the basement to ensure the greatest possible circulation of air. If, however, your house
has no basement or has just an underfloor space, then it will be necessary to locate this register in the ceiling on the first floor and as
far as possible from the location of the stale air intake register.
– Position the register as far as possible from the stairway and in such a way that the air circulates in all the lived-in spaces of the house.
– If you have a slow combustion fireplace place the register in such a way that the heat from this fireplace can be distributed throughout
the house.
– For silent operation, leave at least 15 feet of flexible duct between the fresh air distribution register and the unit.
