This document is an installation manual for Venmar and vänEE heat recovery ventilators (HRVs). It covers several models, including Venmar 1.3, 1.8 & 2.6 HE, Venmar 3055 & 5585 Compact, and vänEE 1000, 2000 & 3000 HE. The manual provides comprehensive information on sizing, service, technical data, installation, air flow balancing, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The devices described are Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) designed to provide fresh air to a building while exhausting stale air, and recovering heat from the outgoing air to pre-condition the incoming fresh air. This process helps maintain indoor air quality and reduce energy consumption by minimizing heat loss during ventilation. The system ensures that stale air never mixes with fresh air. The units can operate in different modes, including air exchange (normal operation) and defrost mode, to prevent ice buildup in colder climates.
Drain Diameter: 1/2 inch (12 mm) for all models.
Installation: Suspension by chains and springs for all models.
Motor Speeds: High and low speeds, factory set (optional increased low speed via red wire).
The manual includes a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as the unit not working, damper actuator malfunction, wall control issues, and defrost cycle problems. It provides possible causes and recommended solutions, often involving checking electrical connections, replacing components, or verifying sensor functionality.
