  • Page 4: About The Erv/Hrv Ventilation System

    About the ERV/HRV Ventilation System The Honeywell TrueFRESH™ 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 of VNT5070 with purchase of 50053952-009. • 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.

  • Page 5: Determining Your Ventilation Needs

    Determining Your Ventilation Needs How much fresh air do you need? Good air quality is based in part on the capacity of the home’s ventilation system. Usually, the unit’s capacity is measured in CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) or L/s (Liters per second) of fresh air being distributed in the living space.

  • Page 14: Install To Fit Your Application

    This application uses a devoted duct system for the supply and the exhausting of stale air accumulated in the home. Honeywell recommends installing fresh air grilles in all bedrooms and living areas and to exhaust the stale air from the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room.
  • Page 15 NOTE: For the minimum distance between the fresh air connection and the forced air system, check with your local building codes and forced air system manufacturer. NOTE: For dwellings with multiple forced air systems, Honeywell recommends one ERV/HRV unit per system.
  • Page 16 Install to Fit Your Application (continued) Exhaust and Supply in the Return TO LIVING SPACE FORCED AIR SYSTEM HRV / ERV M28985 When using this application make sure that there is a minimum of 6 feet between the fresh air and exhaust air connections of the ERV/HRV unit in the return air duct.

    Installation Steps Installation Kit Ensure that you have all of the following installation items: 4 Round Duct Collars (VNT5150 and 5200) Installation Kit: • 2 Flexible 6 in. Vinyl Ducts (NVT5150 and VNT5200 only) • 1 Condensation Drain Line (10 in.) • 1 Drain Adapter with Nut • 4 Tie Wraps (30 in.) • 16 Hex-head screws (1/4 x 5/8 in.) • 4 Hex-head screws (1/4 x 1 in.) • 4 Washers • 1 Drain cap (VNT5070E1000, VNT5250E1000 and VNT5200E1000 only) • 1 power cord, 120 Vac (not shown) 4 Oval Duct Collars (VNT5070) Installation Area The ERV/HRV unit should be installed in a mechanical room or as close to an outside wall as possible. The ERV/HRV unit must always be installed in an area where the air is conditioned to avoid freezing the condensate line.
  • Page 18 Installation Steps (continued) Hanging the VNT5150 or VNT5200 The ERV/HRV unit enables you to save time and effort by offering a simplified hanging system. TIP: Removing the core unit makes installation easier since the unit weighs less without the core inside. 1.

  • Page 20 Installing the flex duct to the ERV/HRV TIP: Honeywell recommends using approximately 16 inches of flexible duct (supplied in kit with VNT5150 and VNT5200) between the unit and the rigid duct for noise dampening. The flex duct is mounted to the unit the same way as the insulated flex.
  • Page 21 Installation Steps (continued) Installing the condensation drain line Insert the threaded drain adapter through the bottom of the unit and hand tighten the plastic nut supplied with the drain kit. Use a wrench to tighten the nut another half turn to ensure a complete seal.
  • Page 22 Do not plug the power cord into the wall receptacle at this time. Electric Wall Outlet Honeywell recommends that the unit has a dedicated receptacle with 120 VAC. Avoid connecting the unit to the wall receptacle with an extension cord.
  • Page 23 Installation Steps (continued) Optional Matrix hood (50063805-009) installation for fresh air and exhaust air NOTE: Only for applications up to 115 CFM maximum speed. Higher airflow rates are limited by higher static pressures and the potential of cross-contamination between the supply and exhaust air streams.

  • Page 24: Automated Defrost

    Automated Defrost The ERV and HRV units are equipped with an automatic defrost feature to eliminate any ice build up on the core. • Automatic defrost is initiated once every hour when the fresh air supply temperature drops to 23°F (-5°C) or colder.
