Congratulations!

You have made an excellent choice! The operating principle of your Heat Recovery Ventilator

or your Energy Recovery Ventilator will give you personal comfort you have never known

before.

We have prepared this User Guide especially for you. Please read it carefully to ensure you

obtain full benefit from your unit. Over the coming months, you will increasingly appreciate the

feeling of living in a more comfortable house.

Please take note that this manual uses the following symbols to emphasize particular

information:

Identifies an instruction which, if not followed, might cause serious

personal injuries including possibility of death.

Identifies an instruction which, if not followed, may severely damage the

unit and/or its components.

NOTE: Indicates supplementary information needed to fully complete an instruction.

We welcome any suggestions you may have concerning this guide and/or the unit, and we

would appreciate hearing your comments on ways to better serve you.

Please forward all correspondence to us at the address indicated on the product registration

card included with this guide.

CAUTION

Make sure at all times that the outdoor intake and exhaust hoods are free

from any snow during the winter season. It is important to check your unit

during a big snow storm, so it doesn’t draw in any snow. If this is the case,

please operate the unit in the recirculation mode, or turn it OFF for a few

hours.

Do not use your unit during construction or renovation of your house or

when sanding drywall.This type of dust may damage your system.

Since the electronic control system of the unit is incorporated with a

microprocessor, it may not operate correctly because of external noise

or very short power failure. If this happens, unplug the unit and wait

approximately 10 seconds. Then, plug the unit in again.

WARNING

CAUTION

When leaving the house for a long period of time (more than two weeks), a

responsible person should regularly check if the unit operates adequately.

If the ductwork runs through an unconditioned space (e.g.: attic), the unit

must operate continuously except when performing maintenance and/

or repair. Also, the ambient temperature of the house should never drop

below 18°C (65°F). At least once a year, the unit mechanical and electronic

parts should be inspected by qualified service personnel.

REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REPAIR

In order to ensure your ventilation unit remains in good working condition, you must use a

vänEE. genuine replacement parts only. The vänEE genuine replacement parts are

specially designed for each unit and are manufactured to comply with all the applicable

certification standards and maintain a high standard of safety. Any third party replacement

part used may cause serious damage and drastically reduce the performance level of your

unit, which will result in premature failing. vänEE also recommends to contact a vänEE

certified service depot for all replacement parts and repairs.

1. DEFROSTING MODE

When the outdoor temperature is below -5°C (23°F), recovery of heat in HRV units creates

frost in the core. For ERV units, when the outdoor temperature is below -10°C (14°F),

recovery of energy creates frost in the core.

To maintain its proper operation, the unit is programmed to defrost the recovery core. The

defrost frequency varies according to the outdoor temperature.

During the defrost cycle, the unit shifts to maximum speed and the dampers close.

After defrosting, the unit returns to the operating mode selected by the user.

2. CONTROLS

2.1 BOOTING SEQUENCES

BOOTING SEQUENCE (90H-V ECM HRV AND 90H-V ECM ERV ONLY)

The unit booting sequence is similar to a personal computer booting sequence.

Each time the unit is plugged after being unplugged, or a power failure occurs, the unit will

perform a 30-second booting sequence before starting to operate.

During the booting sequence, the integrated control LED will light AMBER for 10 seconds.

After that, the LED will light RED for the rest of the booting sequence. During this RED light

phase, the unit is checking and resetting the motorized damper position.

Once the motorized damper position completely set, the RED light turns off and the booting

sequence is done.

NOTE: No command will be taken until the unit is fully booted.

BOOTING SEQUENCE (90H-V+ AND 60H-V+ ONLY)

The unit booting sequence is similar to a personal computer booting sequence.

Each time the unit is plugged after being unplugged, or a power failure occurs, the unit will

perform a 30-second booting sequence before starting to operate.

During the booting sequence, the integrated control LED will light GREEN (unit set in

normal defrost) or AMBER (unit set in extended defrost) for 3 seconds, and then will shut

off for 2 seconds. After that, the LED will light RED for the rest of the booting sequence.

During this RED light phase, the unit is checking and resetting the motorized damper

position.Once the motorized damper position completely set, the RED light turns off and

the booting sequence is done.

NOTE: No command will be taken until the unit is fully booted.

2. CONTROLS (CONT’D)

All units are equipped with an integrated control, located under the unit, on the recessed side

of electrical compartment.Plug the unit.Use the push button (1) to control the unit.The LED (2)

will then show on which mode the unit is in.

2.2 INTEGRATED CONTROL

VD0207

BOTTOM OF THE UNIT

Refer to table below.

If a problem occurs during the unit operation, its integrated control LED (2) will blink.The color

of the blinking light depends on the type of error detected. Refer to Section 4 Troubleshooting

on last page for further details.

NOTE: When using main control, the integrated control must be turned off.

2.3 OPTIONAL MAIN AND AUXILIARY CONTROLS

For more convenience, these units can also be controlled using an optional main control.

Only one main control can be connected per unit.

NOTES: 1. The integrated control must be turned OFF to use an optional main control.

2. If an optional auxiliary control is used, its activation will override the main

control operation.

For more information about your unit controls, refer to the Main and auxiliary wall controls

user guide (included with your unit and also available at www.vanee.ca).
