INSTALLATION AND OWNER’S MANUAL
RTS5 20/40/60 MINUTE TIMER
*Compatible with Flex100H, VHR70R, VHR100R, VHR150 and VHR150R
OVERVIEW
The RTS5 is a low voltage remote timer switch that can be used with
a compatible HRV / ERV to activate its highest ventilation rate for 20,
40 or 60 minute.
It is designed to fit in a single-gang box and comes with screws to
mount the RTS5 to it and a Decora® plate.
INSTALLATION
Selecting the correct wire
We suggest you use a 2-wire, 18 gauge insulated copper wire to connect the RTS5 to the HRV / ERV. We suggest that the wire have a clear indication to
differentiate the two wires in order to facilitate maintaining the polarity of the wires during wiring.
Installing the wire
This wire should not be installed so that it runs along high voltage wires in order to avoid electro-magnetic interference.
Up to 5 RTS5 can be installed in
parallel
. Ideal locations are bathrooms, the kitchen and the laundry room.
We suggest installing a steel single-gang electrical box to facilitate installation.
Wiring the control
Ensure that the HRV / ERV is unplugged before continuing to
avoid damaging it.
1. Insert the stripped end of the wire into the + and – of the terminal
block on the back of the RTS5.
2. Secure in place with a pen-type screwdriver.
3. Note the wire’s polarity, i.e. which wire is connected to + and -.
4. Remove the 6-position, green terminal connector inside the HRV /
ERV by gently pulling it out.
5. Pass the other end of the wire through the bushing located on the
top of the HRV/ ERV and push the wire down into the cabinet so it
reaches the terminal connector position.
6. Insert the stripped end of the wire into the T+ and T- positions of the
terminal connector. Secure with a pen-type screwdriver.
*Ensure you maintain polarity; T+ is connected to + position on
the RTS5 terminal block.
7. Re-connect the terminal connection in the HRV / ERV.
