APPLICATION WARNING!!!
CAUTION
Before installation, careful consideration must be given to how the system will operate if connected to any other piece of
mechanical equipment, i.e. a forced air furnace or air handler, operating at a higher static. After installation, the compatibility
of the two pieces of equipment must be confirmed, by measuring the airflow’s of the Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV), by
using the balancing procedure
