3.2 LOCATING THE UNIT


Choose an appropriate location for the unit. UNIT HUNG BY CHAINS AND SPRINGS
• Within an area of the house where the ambient temperature is kept
between 10°C (50°F) and 40°C (104°F).
• Away from living areas (dining room, living room, bedroom), if possible.
• So as to provide easy access to the interior of the unit, for regular and
annual maintenance.
NOTE: There must be a 27” clearance in front of the unit to fully open
the door. In limited space, the door can be removed by lifting it
up, but there must be a 18” clearance in front of the unit to
remove the core.
• Close to an exterior wall, so as to limit the length of the insulated flexible
duct to and from the unit.
• Away from hot chimneys and other fire hazards.
• Allow for a power source (standard 3-prong grounding outlet).
• Close to a drain. If no drain is close by, use a pail to collect run-off.

3. INSTALLATION (CONT’D)

3.3 PLANNING OF THE DUCTWORK


• Keep it simple. Plan for a minimum of bends and joints.
• Keep the length of insulated and non-insulated ducts to a minimum, because the length of the ductwork impacts directly the unit
airflow performances.
• Do not ventilate crawl spaces or cold rooms. Do not attempt to recover the exhaust air from a dryer or a range hood. This would cause
clogging of the filters and recovery module.
• If the house has two floors or more, be sure to plan for at least one exhaust register on the highest lived-in level.

3.4 DUCT SIZE


To determine the appropriate duct size to be used, refer to the ASHRAE or HRAI HANDBOOK. Below is an example of a design
for a fully ducted system with a unit having a high speed performance of 160 cfm.

3.5 INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK AND REGISTERS


3.5.1 FULLY DUCTED SYSTEM
! WARNING
Never install a stale air exhaust register in a closed room where a combustion device operates, such as a gas
furnace, a gas water heater or a fireplace.

Stale air exhaust ductwork


• Install the stale air exhaust registers where the contaminants are produced: kitchen, living room, etc. Position the registers 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.
• If a register is installed in the kitchen, it must be located at least 4 feet (1.2 m) from the range.
• Install the registers 6 to 12 inches (152 to 305 mm) from the ceiling on an interior wall OR install them in the ceiling.
• If possible, measure the velocity of the air flowing through the registers. If the velocity is higher than 400 ft/min (122 m/min), then
the register type is too small. Replace with a larger one.
Fresh air distribution ductwork
• Install the fresh air distribution registers in bedrooms, dining rooms, living room and basement.
• Keep in mind that the fresh air registers must be located as far as possible from the stale air registers.
• Install the registers either in the ceiling or high on the walls with air flow directed towards the ceiling. (The cooler air will then cross
the upper part of the room and mix with room air, before descending to occupant’s level.)
• If a register must be floor installed, direct the airflow up the wall.

4. CONTROLS

4.1 UNIT BOOTING SEQUENCE


The unit booting sequence is similar to a personnal computer boot sequence. Each time the unit is plugged after being unplugged, or after
a power failure, the unit will perform a 30-second booting sequence before starting to operate.
During the booting sequence, the unit is checking and resetting the motorized damper position.
Once the motorized damper position completely set, the booting sequence is done.
NOTE: No command will be taken until the unit is fully booted.

4.2 WALL CONTROL(S) ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

! WARNING
The X-Touch (Venmar units) and Gold-Touch (vänEE units) wall control are the only main wall controls compatible
to your unit. Never attempt to install another wall control model. Always disconnect the unit before making any
connections. Failure to disconnect power could result in electric shock or damage to the wall control or electronic
module inside the unit.

CAUTION
Failure to comply with the following can cause erratic operation of the unit and/or the wall control:
Never install more than one main wall control per unit. Make sure that the wires do not short-circuit between
themselves or by touching any other components on the wall control. Avoid poor wiring connections. To reduce
electrical interference (noise) potential, do not run wall control wiring next to control contactors or near light
dimming circuits, electrical motors, dwelling/building power or lighting wiring, or power distribution panel.

5. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE FURNACE

! WARNING
Never connect a 120-volt AC circuit to the terminals of the furnace interlock (standard wiring). Only use the low
voltage class 2 circuit of the furnace blower control.
For a furnace connected to a cooling system:
On some older thermostats, energizing the “R” and “G” terminals at the furnace has the effect of energizing “Y” at the thermostat and
thereby turning on the cooling system. If you identify this type of thermostat, you must use the ALTERNATE FURNACE INTERLOCK WIRING.
