THE BENEFITS OF THE PERFECT CLIMATE® SYSTEM AND THE FRESH AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM We take it for granted that our homes protect us from the elements. But, because of tighter, better quality home constructions, our indoor environments may be exposing us to unacceptable levels of the very things we are trying to escape—excessive heat, dryness, humidity, toxic gases, dust and contaminants—sealed neatly in by the weatherproofing.
CONSIDER THE COMPLETE PACKAGE FOR PERFECT CLIMATE® FOR YOUR HOME How it works... THE PERFECT CLIMATE COMFORT CENTER™ IS ONE PART OF A PERFECT CLIMATE®, AN INDOOR ENVIRONMENT THAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, ALLOWS YOU TO LIVE AND WORK MORE COMFORTABLY, MAINTAINS PRECISE INDOOR TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY AND PRECISE AIR QUALITY, AND ACHIEVES MAXIMUM ENERGY SAVINGS.
PERFECT CLIMATE® Describing Perfection The most convenient, most energy efficient, cleanest, healthiest and most comfortable indoor environment possible today! Perfect climate is achieved when the components of a home’s climate system work together: • optimal efficiency heating and cooling equipment. • precise, programmable temperature control. • high efficiency air cleaning/filtering. • proper humidity control. • proper ventilation and air distribution. • whole house water filter. • security system.
CONTROLS FOR YOUR FRESH AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM Your Fresh Air Ventilation System controls are located on the ventilator cabinet. See Fig. 1. There are two switches, and an indicator light (defrost models only). In addition, control of your ventilator may be enhanced by the use of one or more Honeywell products—Perfect Climate Comfort Centers™, dehumidistats, timers or wall switches. 1. POWER SWITCH This switch is located on the ventilator control panel.
OPERATING YOUR FRESH AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM Step 1 Move the power switch to the On position. With this switch in the Off position, all power to the system is removed and no system controls will have any effect. Step 2 Move the Lo-Standby-Hi switch to the Lo position. This setting will provide a low ventilation rate suitable for continuous operation. When you do not want continuous ventilation, move the switch to the Standby position.
Step 5 Your Fresh Air Ventilation System may utilize one or more timers. When a high ventilation rate is desired, turn the timer to the desired number on minutes. The Ventilator will switch from the Lo or Standby setting to the high speed. The ventilator will return to the previous setting when the time runs out. Step 6 Your Fresh Air Ventilation System may utilize one or more wall switches to provide manual control of the system. If a high ventilation rate is desired, move a switch to the maximum position.
GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR FRESH AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM Moisture Control Continual operation of the ventilation system is recommended for optimum reduction of indoor air pollution and control of humidity. Increased moisture removal will always occur at maximum ventilation rates. Use the Hi switch position when first occupying a newly built home to remove excess moisture from new wood, plaster, cement and other moisture absorbing construction materials.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FRESH AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM CAUTION Electric shock hazard. Can cause personal injury or equipment damage. Before doing maintenance, disconnect power to the ventilator by unplugging the power cord. NOTE: Your Fresh Air Ventilation System must be maintained on a regular basis for the best efficiency. Honeywell recommends the Fresh Air Ventilation System be cleaned and checked at least twice a year, preferably at the start of each heating and cooling season.
