This manual provides step-by-step instructions for installing Fantech HERO series heat recovery ventilators in residential settings. It covers ducting configurations, outdoor vent installation, mounting options, and airflow balancing. Safety warnings and compatibility notes are included for proper operation with furnaces and combustion equipment. The document also addresses maintenance, filter use, and troubleshooting.
Installation types include fully dedicated systems, furnace-integrated setups, and simplified retrofits. Each type has specific ducting and balancing requirements. Outdoor vents must be placed away from hazards, and ducts should be kept short and sealed to prevent leakage.
A minimum separation of 1 meter (39 inches) is recommended between the two direct connections.
The attic temperature must be above freezing conditions at all times, and for best performance should be 12°C (54°F).
Connecting appliances such as clothes dryers, range tops, stovetop fans, central vacuum systems, or standard bathroom exhaust fans is not recommended.
