WARNING
The way your house has been built may have an impact on the results whatever control
method is adopted. Therefore, it is better to evaluate the behavior of your house. If, during
winter, you notice that there is a recurring problem with condensation even if the control
is positioned properly, it would be appropriate to lower the humidity level in your home.
However, it is important to realize that the comfort level for human beings is between 25%
and 45% humidity. What level to choose? The choice is yours and with a little experience,
you will find the point best suited for you.
A) SEASONAL PICTOGRAMS, THE EASY-TO-USE CONTROLLER
FOR ER40200, ER40205, ER40207
Just set the humidity level selector to the
current season and the unit takes over. In
fact, the electronic control coordinates all
the functions of your Air Exchanger with
Heat Recovery, giving you complete
peace of mind and satisfaction.
The season when cool air is always
welcome. The "summer daytime" selection
guarantees you constant air circulation in
your home without exchanging air with
the outside. Thus, cool air from the
basement is diffused throughout the
house.
Night falls. It is time to change the air in
your home. The "summer night-time"
selection allows air exchange with the
outside. Thus, you can enjoy the cool, pure
night air.
Control of the humidity level in the winter is
of utmost importance. The colder the
outside temperature, the greater the risk of
condensation on your windows. The
"winter" selection ensures that excess
humidity is exhausted preventing
condensation on your windows. For greater
efficiency, adjust the humidity level selector
according to the outside temperature.
Please take note that you will get a better
control over humidity when the unit is
operating at maximum speed.
The recovery of heat by the Air Exchanger
with Heat Recovery unit becomes most
important in this season. You will obtain
superior ventilation at minimal cost.
During fall, variations in outside
temperatures,as well as rain, make control
of the humidity level very difficult. A rapid
lowering of outside temperatures will then
cause condensation on your windows. Be
alert! This variation in temperature is your
worst enemy. Watch the outside
temperature and adjust your control
accordingly. You know that winter can
start well before December 21!
Milder days are approaching. Good air
circulation will ensure uniform temperature
and humidity level. Using the "spring"
selection, your comfort is assured as the
unit circulates the air 24 hours per day.

B) THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVEL, FOR THE DILIGENT
The control shows, between the seasonal
pictograms and the humidity selector, the
relative humidity levels. You can then
select the desired level of relative
humidity. During the cold seasons, we
recommend to select it according to the
outside temperature. (Refer to the
temperatures of the "winter" zone of the
pictograms.) This way, you will reduce risks
of condensation on your windows while
having a better efficiency of your Air
Exchanger with Heat Recovery.
NOTE: Remember, during the cold seasons,
the colder the outside temperature is, the
more the risks you have to get
condensation on your windows. If you
reduce the level of relative humidity inside
your house, the risks of condensation on
your windows will decrease.
To evaluate the humidity level in your
home, follow these steps:
1. Set the control at 80% humidity.
2. Turn the humidity selector towards the
minimum position (20%).
3. Stop when a "click" is heard.
4. This “click” indicates the current
humidity level in your home. Note that
the control is precise to 10%. This
compares favorably to humidity
readers found on the market.
WARNING
The way your house has been built may
have an impact on the results whatever
control method is adopted. Therefore, it is
better to evaluate the behavior of your
house. If, during winter, you notice that
there is a recurring problem with
condensation even if the control is
positioned properly, it would be appro-
priate to lower the humidity level in your
home further. However, it is important to
realize that the comfort level for human
beings is between 30% and 45% humidity.
What level to choose? The choice is yours
and with a little experience, you will find
the point best suited for you.
Identify the part you wish to maintain.
(1) Stale air intake filter.
(2) Fresh air intake filter (located behind
the heat recovery core).
(3) Heat recovery core.
(4) Ventilator wheel and blades.
(5) Front housing (removable for access
to the ventilator wheel).
(6) Motor.
(7) Electronic control.
(8) Damper motor (operates the
damper system).
(9) Damper (also located behind the
heat recovery core).
(10) Drain.
(11) Condensation tray.
2.1 HOW TO ACCESS THE COMPONENTS
Attention: To guarantee your safety, you should always disconnect the unit from the
power source before doing any maintenance.
• Undo the safety screw on the door fastener.
• Open the door. It can be removed by lifting upwards.
