Lifebreath 1200 POOL, Operation And Installation Manual

Installation Notes:

The 

HRV 

will 

produce 

some 

condensation  while  running.  This 

water  should  flow  into  a  nearby 

drain,  or  be  taken  away  by  a 

condensate 

pump. 

The 

HRV 

cabinet  has  pre-punched  holes  for 

the  drain (see below).

It  is  recommended  that  a  licensed  electrician  make 

all electrical  connections.  It  is  very  important  that  the 

unit  be properly  grounded. 

The circuit must be sized to 

handle the F.L.A. indicated on the name tag of the unit.

When

HRV,

measure

the

amp

to

each

motor

  at  each  speed 

to

ensure

it

In 

order 

to 

prevent 

electric 

shock 

when  cleaning  or  servicing  the  HRV,  it  is 

extremely  important  to  confirm  the  polarity 

of  the  power  line  that  is  switched  by  the 

safety  (disconnect)  switch  whose  control 

arm  is  located  on  the  outside  of  the 

electrical  control  box  area.  The  hot  line 

(black)  is  the  proper  line  to  be switched. 

To  confirm  the  proper  polarity,  use  a 

voltmeter or test lamp to make sure there is no 

power  after  the  switch  when  the  door  is 

open.  Check  between  that  point  and  ground 

(on  the  cabinet).  This  must  be  done  as 

occasionally  some  buildings  are  improperly 

wired.  Always  make  sure  the  HRV  is  properly 

grounded.

WARNING

Installation Steps:

1) Insert the drain spout through the hole in the drain pan.
2) Hand tighten the lock nut which holds the drain spout in place.
3) Construct a P-trap using the plastic tee connector.
4) Cut two lengths of 1/2 in drain hose (not included) and connect the other

ends to the two drain spouts.

5) Position the tee connector to point upward and connect the drain line.
6) Tape or fasten base to avoid any kinks.

7) Slowly  pour  water  into  the  drain  pan  of  the  HRV  after  the  drain

connection  is  complete.  This  is  to  ensure  that  the  drain  assembly  is

functional  and  also  creates  a  water  seal  which  will  prevent  odours  from

being drawn up the hose and into the fresh air supply of the HRV.
