					! 
					WARNING   
					0 
					To avoid risk of suffocation, discard the plastic bag wrapping the unit.   
					• Inspect the exterior of the unit for shipping damage. Ensure that there is   
					no damage to the door, door latches, main switch, etc.   
					CAUTION   
					Remove the cardboard strip inside the unit (if applicable).   
					• Inspect the interior of the unit for damage. Ensure that blower assembly, heat   
					recovery core (HEPA 3000 et HF 3.0), energy recovery core (HEPA 4000),   
					insulation, dampers (HEPA 2000, HF 2.0, HEPA 3000, HF 3.0 and HEPA 4000),   
					prefilter, HEPA filter, etc. are all intact.   
					2. TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS   
					Installations may vary according to the model number and the position in which   
					the unit is installed. Use the following illustrations as guidelines to help you decide   
					on how your unit will be installed.   
					All the units should be hung to the joist, and installed either vertically or   
					horizontally. NOTE: For more details, see Point 5.3 in Section 5 INSTALL THE   
					UNIT.   
					In every case, bathroom fans and a range hood should be used to exhaust stale   
					air. Also, for homes with more than one level, we recommend one exhaust   
					register at the highest level.   
					There are 3 installation methods: Stand Alone, Central Draw Point and Return-to-   
					Return Installation.   
					NOTE: An electrical outlet has to be available within 3 feet from the unit.

					The attic temperature must always be above 0°C (32°F).   
					A portion of stale air is exhausted to the outside and the rest is drawn to the unit.   
					Outside fresh air is blended with interior air and then filtered. This filtered air is   
					supplied to the return (plenum) of the forced air unit.   
					To avoid the cross-contamination and achieve highest efficiencies, the forced air   
					system blower must always be ON (or the unit efficiency will be affected).   
					See figure below.   
					NOTE: Home with multiple forced air systems should have 1 unit on each system.   
					VH0051   
					CAUTION   
					Do not connect the HEPA 4000 on any forced air system supply duct.   
					Connect it only to the air return duct. Do not install duct or duct connector

					• So as to provide easy access to the interior of the unit, for filter maintenance.   
					• Close to an exterior wall, so as to limit the length of the insulated flexible   
					duct to and from the unit (not necessary for HEPA 1000 and HF 1.0 units).   
					• Away from hot chimneys and other fire hazards.   
					• Allow for a power source (standard 3-prong grounding outlet).   
					• Close to a drain. If no drain is close by, use a pail to collect run-off.   
					(for HEPA 3000 and HF 3.0 units only).   
					Here are the tools and materials needed to perform the installation:   
					- Phillips screwdriver #2 or Robertson #1   
					- Hammer and flat blade screwdriver (for plenum connection installation only, to   
					make holes in existing metal duct)   
					- Scissors or utility knife (to cut duct tape)   
					- Duct tape   
					- Tin snips or metal shear (for plenum connection installation only, to cut ductwork)   
					- Aluminum duct tape (for plenum connection installation only)   
					- Jig saw (except for the HEPA 1000 unit)   
					- Caulking gun and caulking (except for HEPA 1000 and HF 1.0 units)   
					4.2 MOUNT THE PORTS ON THE UNIT   
					Mount the 8” oval ports and the 5” to 6” oval   
					ports on the top of the unit using the screws   
					provided in the hardware box (4 screws   
					#8 x 3/4” long per port).   
					NOTES: 1. The HEPA 1000 and the HF 1.0   
					units don’t have the 5” to 6” oval   
					ports.   
					2. If an optional wall control has to be   
					installed, do not install the front   
					8’’ oval port at this time.

					4.4 PLANNING OF THE DUCTWORK   
					• Keep it simple. Plan for a minimum of bends and joints.   
					• Keep the length of outside insulated duct to a minimum (not for HEPA 1000).   
					• Do not ventilate crawl spaces or cold rooms. Do not attempt to recover the   
					exhaust air from a dryer or a range hood. This would cause clogging of the   
					filters and recovery module (if applicable).   
					• If the house has two floors or more, be sure to plan for at least one exhaust   
					register on the highest lived-in level.

					Never install a stale air exhaust register in a closed room where a combustion   
					device operates, such as a gas furnace, a gas water heater or a fireplace.   
					• Install the stale air exhaust register in the main area where the contaminants   
					are produced: kitchen, living room, etc. Position the register as far from the   
					stairway as possible and in such a way that the air circulates in all the lived-in   
					spaces in the house. If desired, you can install another register (sold separately).   
					NOTE: If an additional register is installed, connect it to a 8” flexible duct.   
					• If the register is installed in the kitchen, it must be located at least 4 feet   
					(1.2 m) from the range.   
					• Install the register 6 to 12 inches (152 to 305 mm) from the ceiling on an   
					interior wall OR install it in the ceiling.   
					Fresh / Filtered air distribution ductwork   
					• Install the fresh / filtered air distribution register in a large, open area in the   
					lowest level to ensure the greatest possible air circulation. Keep in mind that   
					the filtered air register must be located as far as possible from the stale air   
					register. If desired, you can install another register (sold separately).   
					NOTE: If an additional register is installed, connect it to a 8” flexible duct.   
					• Install the register in the ceiling OR 6 to 12 inches (152 to 305 mm) from the   
					ceiling on an interior wall. The duct lenght should be at least 15’ (4.6 m).   
					(The filtered air will then flow through the room and mix with room air, ensuring   
					a continuous recirculating airflow.)

					transition* (EXHAUST AIR TO OUTSIDE and FRESH AIR FROM OUTSIDE).   
					NOTE: If the joist are perpendicular to the ducts, or if the connection to the exterior   
					hood is in a limited area, your installation will need two exterior hoods   
					instead of one. In this case, do not use the Tandem® transition. Identify   
					each insulated duct. For fresh air from outside duct, use the blue sticker   
					dots (one dot at each end). For exhaust air to outside duct, use the red   
					sticker dots (one dot at each end). Then, go to point 4.6.2 and refer to   
					the optional single hood enclosed instructions.   
					*Patent pending.   
					4.6.1 CONNECTION TO TANDEM® TRANSITION

					• OFF: To stop the unit, slide the button on this position.   
					• NORMAL: For a day-to-day usage, slide the button on this position. The   
					unit then will operate on normal speed.   
					• BOOST: For a high speed operation, slide the button on this position.   
					Generally used when extreme conditions occur, eg.: parties,   
					smokers, etc.   
					• RECIRCULATION: For a normal speed operation, without exchanging air with   
					the outside, slide the button on this position. This mode is   
					recommended in high humidity days (rain, heat wave).   
					Also, use it when the outside temperature is extremely cold   
					and/or the inside air is too dry. It can be used also to recirculate   
					the heat coming from a wood stove throughout the house,   
					or the fresh air from a cooling system.

					6.   
					Close the door, close the latches and turn ON the switch knob to its   
					previous position.   
					7.   
					If your unit is equipped with an optionnal wall control (C12 / CM) or C34 / CMR),   
					reset the filter maintenance indicator by inserting a small rod (eg: paper clip   
					end) into the reset filter hole of the optional wall control. Press lightly until   
					the Filter Maintenance indicator light turns off.   
					6.2 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE (ESSENTIAL)   
					If your unit is equipped with an optionnal wall control (C12 / CM or C34 / CMR)   
					you should perform this maintenance when the Filter Maintenance light stays   
					ON. Otherwise, this maintenance must be performed once a year to ensure your   
					unit proper operation for years to come. Proceed as the Biannual Maintenance   
					(Section 6.1), but instead of replacing the prefilter (point 4), discard the complete   
					HEPA Filter cartridge (including prefilter). Install a new HEPA filter cartridge (or a   
					new pleated filter cartridge) with a new prefilter on it.   
					NOTE: If you are using a washable foam filter, just do the same operations as the   
					Biannual Maintenance (Section 6.1).   
					6.3 MASTER RESET (C12 / CM AND C34 / CMR CONTROLS)   
					Use the master reset only if you replace the filters before the annual maintenance   
					indicator is on. By inserting a small rod (eg: paper clip end) during 5 seconds and   
					more into the reset filter hole of the optional wall control, a master reset will be   
					done and both biannual and annual maintenance filter are reset.   
					C12 / CM Control: The filter maintenance indicator will flash 1/4 second.   
					C34 / CMR Control: If the wall control is in ”Off” position, “Fresh air” light indicator   
					will flash for 1 second.   
					If the wall control is in ”Normal” or “Boost” position, the unit   
					motor, the “Fresh air” light indicator and speed light indicator   
					(“Normal” or “Boost”) will turn off for 3 seconds.   
					If the wall control is in ”Recirculation” position, the “Recirculation”   
					light indicator and the unit motor will turn off during 3 seconds.
