• Apply power to the unit. Move the selector switch to the CONT position to verify that the unit turns on in continuous speed.
• Initiate a ventilation call from each of the external controls. Verify that the ERV/HRV unit turns on in high speed.
• Return the selector switch to the desired position and the external controls to the desired settings.
• Inspect the ducting to ensure that there are no kinks and correct as necessary.
Airflow Measurements - VNT5070 only
The VNT5070 ventilators are balanced by utilizing pressure ports located on the duct collars and a pressureairflow correlation table provided as a decal on the side of the unit.
NOTE: The VNT5150, VNT5200, VNT6150 & VNT6200 ventilators are not provided with pressure ports or correlation charts. Instead, they are balanced by using air flow grids or pitot tubes which measure airflow directly in each airstream.

Pre & Post Balancing Steps
1 a. Install the flexible duct inner liner (vapor barrier) over the collar and seal with tape, mastic, etc.
Note-flexible insulation should be pulled back and away from the duct collar to allow access to
pressure ports.
b. Proceed with balancing steps described below.
c. Plug the pressure ports.
d. Pull flexible duct insulation over duct collar and stuff inside the double collar; seal insulation to
duct collar with tape.
2 Balancing Steps a. Measure pressure differential across the EXHAUST air stream high and low ports using a
Magnehelic gauge or other pressure gauge.
b. Measure pressure differential across the FRESH air stream high and low ports using a
Magnehelic gauge or other pressure gauge.
c. Look up corresponding air flows from the pressure-airflow correlation table.
d. Adjust airflows to a balanced condition by adjusting blower motor speeds. e. Usually the blower with more airflow is adjusted to the lower blower airflow rate.
f. Motor adjustments are described in previous section.
