5. INSTALLATION OF THE SYSTEM (CONT'D)
5.2 LOCATION OF COMPONENTS (CONT'D)
Extra registers:
– If your basement stairwell is often closed, then you must install 2 or 3 extra registers (not supplied with the kits) in the floor at the ground
floor level. As an alternative, you could install one of these registers above the stairwell door or on a wall adjacent to the stairwell. Locate
these registers so that the air will be able to circulate freely (living room, hallway, etc.). Avoid placing them near the state air intake
register.
Unit:
– Model PRO 200 can be installed in either the basement or the attic. Models PRO 100, 41000 and 1601510 can be installed in the
basement only.
– Place the unit as close as possible to an outside wall to minimize the length of the insulated flexible ducts. Place the unit in such a way
as to respect the lengths of the ducts supplied in the parts kits (if need be). Place the unit far from the areas of the house where
peace and quiet are desired.
– If possible, place the unit close to an electrical outlet. Make sure you have the required wires for the electrical installation: AWG 14/2
wire necessary for all models plus an extra AWG 14/3 wire for model PRO 200.
– Position the unit so as to permit easy access to the filter. Model PRO 200 can be installed upside down,
which in certain cases makes it easier to get at the filter (see illustration at right).
Flexible ducts:
– Use closets, cupboards and other storage spaces to run duct from one floor to another (do not use wall cavities). Stretch duct and install
in straight lines as much as possible. Do not alter the length of duct supplied with the different kits (if need be). The efficiency of your
ventilation system might be reduced.
Control:
– Locate the control on the ground floor of the house in an area where air circulates (e.g.: hallway, living room, dining room, etc.). Never
place it near a doorway to the outside, nor on an exterior wall. Place the control approximately 1.5 meters (60 inches) from the floor.
Exterior openings:
– Position the fresh air intake port far from sources of contamination such as the
garage, dryer outlet, central vacuum system, gas regulator.
Place the openings at least 45 cm (18 inches) above the ground.
Leave at least 1.8 meters (6 feet) between the two openings.
The prevailing winds should not blow the stale air towards the fresh air intake
port.
