Air Flow Balancing using the Door Ports Models RNC155 and RNC200 Only
The door ports ( MODELS RNC155 & RNC 200) are designed
to quickly and measure the airflows for balancing.
Normally the HRV would be balanced on high speed. If the
HRV is connected to a forced air system, both systems should be
set to run at the highest operational speed when balancing is
performed.
Balancing Procedure
Step 1
Remove balancing port covers.
Step 2 Insert one end of each connection hose into a rubber
fitting. (Use light pressure until fitting is snug).
Step 3 Attach the connection hoses to pressure gauge
Step 4 Fresh Air - Connect hoses to door ports as illustrated
(record reading).
Step 5 Stale Air - Connect hoses to door ports as illustrated
(record reading).
Step 6 Refer to the Airflow Reference Chart for the conversion
of gauge reading to airflow reading.
Step 7 Damper the airflows as required to balance the system.
The fresh airflow must equal the stale airflow.
Step 8 Repeat steps 4 to 7 as required to confirm airflows.
