NOTES:
1. Furnace blower may be required to operate when ventilation from HRV/ERV is required.
The furnace should be set to run continuously or interlocked with HRV/ERV.
2. The exhaust air connection should be upstream of the supply air connection to prevent
exhausting any fresh air.
3. Weatherhood arrangement is for drawing purposes only. Six feet (2 m) minimum separation required.
Eighteen inches (460 mm) above grade minimum.
4. Due to the differences in pressure between the HRV/ERV and the equipment it is being
connected to, the HRV/ERV's airflow must be confirmed on site, using the balancing
procedure found in the installation manual.
