FAN ON will flash on the display.
• To change the FAN ON time, use the Increase or
Decrease buttons.
• Set the number of minutes between 1 and 199, or select

operate continuously after the FAN OFF delay has expired
following a cooling or heating cycle.
Setting the FAN OFF time

press the Mode key again. FAN OFF will flash on the display.
• As above, set the number of minutes between 1 and 199.
• Press the Mode key one last time to return to normal operation.
or for the FR-V model, proceed to VENT settings.

6 minutes. This avoids moisture re-evaporation from the coil
and condensation in cold supply ducts.
Setting VENT times, FR-V model only
• Press the Mode key until VENT ON flashes.
• Increase or decrease the number of minutes to open the
outside air damper while the fan is on.

• Increase or decrease the number of minutes to close the outside
air damper after the VENT ON time has elapsed.
• This cycle repeats for the duration of time the central fan
is operating continuously
Why is controlled ventilation essential?
Many homeowners are reducing their home’s energy
cost by tightening their homes. If homes are not
equipped for controlling and removing indoor
pollutants, indoor air quality problems may result.
Controlled ventilation helps maintain healthy indoor
air quality for the occupants and the home itself.
Why The AirCycler?
The AirCycler assures steady ventilation, and does so
economically by drawing and distributing outside air
through the home. A “smart logic” system operates the
fan only if it has been inactive for a set period of time.
The AirCycler evens out temperature, humidity and air
quality variations from room to room, and improves the
air quality level throughout your home without the
continuos operation of a central fan.
What is the energy cost to run the AirCycler?
2
For a typical 1,500 ft. home, the energy cost for the
AirCycler is between $ 1 to $ 5 monthly, depending on
your climate and electric costs.

Testing the AirCycler
Trained technicians use Test mode to verify or demonstrate the
control operation. The test mode will display fan activity in seconds
rather than minutes.
To activate Test mode, follow these steps.
• Press the Mode key
• Press the Mode Key a second time and hold
for six seconds. The display will indicate Test.
• Exit Test mode and return to Operating mode by turning the
AirCycler off.
• Hold the Mode key for two seconds, then press Mode again
to turn the AirCycler on.
As a safeguard, the AirCycler will automatically exit Test mode after ten minutes.
