1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Although all main controls have their own characteristics, they share some common modes,
such as ventilation in low speed, ventilation in high speed, etc. Following are what we suggest
regarding the use of operating modes of you main wall control:
Low speed ventilation: For normal daily operation.
High speed ventilation: Use occasionaly, when excess pollutants and humidity are produced
(parties, odors, smoke, etc.)
Recirculation:
Select this mode when you deem the inside air is too dry in heating
season, or too humid during cooling season. In this mode, the unit
stops exchanging with the outdoors and recirculates indoor air.
Intermittent:
(also called 20 min/h)
Select this mode when you are away for a few days, or when you
deem the indoor air is too dry in heating season, or too humid during
cooling season. In this mode, the unit is OFF for 40 minutes per hour
and ventilates at minimum speed the remaining 20 minutes of the
hour.
Dehumidistat
An air exchanger is not a dehumidifier, neither a humidifier, but it can
exhaust excess humidity produced by human activities such as
showers, cooking, parties, etc. During the heating season, air from
outdoors is drier than indoor air; when enabling the dehumidistat, if
the relative humidity (RH) in the house exceeds the RH setting
chosen, the ventilation unit will exchange in high speed until the
target indoor RH setting is reached. Select a target RH between 30%
and 55%. When outdoor relative humidity is high (e.g. in summer),
turn off the dehumidistat.

1) Determine the humidity level in your
house (bring the knob counterclockwise
to its maximum position, then bring it back
clockwise slowly until you hear a “click”).
2) Set the knob to one line under this
temperature level or “click”.
CAUTION
Do not select a temperature below -20°C (-4°F). This could lead to excessive
dryness in the air causing discomfort for the occupants.
It is possible (and normal) to experience condensation on your windows when drastic
changes in temperature happen (for example: -5°C [23°F] to -20°C [-4°F]). In that case,
we suggest to wait a few days to allow the situation to stabilize.
