About the ERV/HRV Ventilation System
The ERV/HRV Balanced Ventilation System provides 
improved indoor air quality through its high performance 
and efficiency. 
Benefits
•  Ventilation with sensible heat recovery (ERV and HRV)
•  Ventilation with latent heat recovery (ERV only)
•  Simplified mounting (hanging)
•  Optional hanging with included straps.
•  Removable duct collars for easy ducting to the unit
•  Intuitive balancing via two variable speed motors and 
a speed control
•  Fits in tight spaces (VNT5070)
CAUTION: Electrical shock and fire hazard. Can cause personal and equipment damage.
•  Before servicing or cleaning the system, always remove the power cord from the AC 
wall outlet.
•  Wear protective clothing and safety glasses when installing ventilator and working 
with sheet metal.
•  To reduce the hazards of electric shock or fire, do not perform any service to the 
system other than those stated in the operating manual instructions.
•  To reduce the risk of electric shock, this ventilation system comes equipped with a 
3-prong plug-in. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
•  Do not use ventilation system for outdoor application.
•  Do not pull or twist power cord when disconnecting it from the ventilation system. 
Grasp the plug firmly, not the cord.
•  Do not modify the power plug in any way; if modified, risk of electric shock, fire, or even 
damage to the unit may occur.
•  Do not use the ventilation system for removal of flammable fumes, gases or connect 
directly to any appliances.
•  Use a 120 VAC outlet only.
•  Do not use an extension cord.
•  Do not obstruct or cover the air intake or air outlet of the ventilation system.
•  Do not modify, repair or disassemble this system. These tasks are to be performed by 
authorized serviced personnel only. Fire, electrical shock and/or bodily injury may 
occur if these warnings are not followed.
•  To prevent injuries, do not operate the ventilation system, while servicing or 
maintaining. There are impeller wheels turning at a very high speed that must fully 
stop rotating prior to accessing the inside of the unit.
•  Always assess how the operation of the ventilation system may interact with vented 
combustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnace, Oil Furnace, Combustion, Appliances, etc.)
•  Ensure unit is properly installed and suspended to prevent falling or dropping injuries.
