Introduction  
We take it for granted that our homes will protect us from the elements, but because of  
tighter, energy efficient home construction, our indoor environment may be exposing  
us to unacceptable levels of the very things we are trying to escape. Excessive heat,  
dryness, humidity, toxic gases and dust contaminants can be sealed in securely by  
weatherproofing.  
Feeling right at home  
Unlike what the outdoors brings us, you can have control of indoor conditions.  
Temperature, humidity levels and air quality can all affect physical health, mental  
attitude, general comfort and energy savings. With today’s technological advances,  
you can achieve a “Perfect Climate” indoors.  
The Honeywell Perfect Window™ Fresh Air Ventilation System removes stale,  
unhealthy air and replaces it with a stream of fresh air. Its powerful centrifugal blowers  
bring fresh air into your home and at the same time, exhaust stale air in an equal  
amount. Both incoming and outgoing airstreams pass through either a heat transfer core  
or an energy transfer core where the heat only or the heat and the moisture from the  
exhaust air are efficiently transferred to the incoming fresh air. An air duct system  
supplies the fresh air brought in by the Perfect Window™ ventilator and distributes it  
throughout your home. Another duct draws the existing stale, air back to the Perfect  
Window™ ventilator and then exhausts it outdoors.  
It’s really very simple...and remarkably effective!  
The Perfect WindowFresh Air Ventilation System  
consists of:  
1. Air Circulation FAN and Motor  
Inside the casing are two fans, one for exhaust and one for fresh air supply. The  
electric motor that operates the fan is 1/15 hp to 1/20 hp (depending on the ven-  
tilator model) and uses the same amount of power as a 100 watt light bulb.  
2. Air Filters  
There are two permanent washable air filters in your ventilator. The filters lower  
the amount of dust and outside particulates entering the ventilator core and your  
fresh air supply.

3. Condensate Tray and Drain (Some Models)  
Condensation normally forms on the energy transfer core during the cold weather  
(below 27°F or -3°C). Moisture can build up when the warm air from your home  
comes in contact with the cold air from outside. The tray collects the moisture and  
funnels it to the drain. The drain pans are made of thermoformed plastic for easy  
cleaning.  
4. Defrost Mechanism (Some Models)  
Some models have an electronically-controlled damper frost control mechanism  
to prevent frost buildup on the core. Defrost timing will change based on incom-  
ing outdoor air temperature.  
Outdoor Temperature  
27°F (-3°C)  
Defrost Timer  
3 minute defrost/25 minute run  
4.5 minute defrost/17 minute run  
7 minute defrost/15 minute run  
-4°F (-20°C)  
-31°F (-35°C)  
Example: When the outside temperature drops below 27°F (-3°C) the defrost  
timer is activated. At the end of the 25-minute run cycle, when the core can  
experience some nominal frost buildup, the timer activates a motor-driven  
damper door that simultaneously opens the defrost port and closes off the  
supply air port.

5a. Energy Transfer Core  
As the exhaust and fresh air pass through opposite sides of the Energy Transfer  
Core, heat is transferred from the warm side to the cold side. This heat transfer  
reduces the cost of conditioning the fresh outside air that is brought into your  
home. This increases the temperature of the fresh air brought inside in the winter  
and cools the fresh air brought inside in the summer. In addition, for ER150 and  
ER200 models, moisture is transferred from the wet side to the dryer side. The  
core removes easily for cleaning.  
5b. Heat Transfer Core  
As the exhaust and fresh air pass through opposite sides of the Heat Transfer  
Core heat is transferred from the warm side to the cold side. This heat transfer  
reduces the cost of conditioning the fresh outside air that is brought into your  
home. This increases the temperature of the fresh air brought inside in the winter  
and cools the fresh air brought inside in the summer. The core removes easily  
for cleaning.  
Operating your Fresh Air Ventilation System  
Changing Fan Speed  
Depending on the control installed with your ERV, you might be able to change the fan  
speed. Check the manual of your control for more information.  
Connecting a Remote Device  
Your ventilator comes equipped with a low voltage terminal strip for connection to  
several optional control devices.  
EXTERNAL REMOTE WALL CONTROL  
(DEHUMIDISTAT)  
The dehumidistat (connected to your ventilator) is designed to control the operation of  
the ventilator fan to help keep the humidity level in your home comfortable. If an  
independent humidifier is installed and set at 30% (a normal indoor winter level) then the  
dehumidistat (for the ventilator) should be set at least 10% higher, in this case 40%. With  
the ventilator operating on low speed and no one at home to produce humidity, the  
humidifier will keep the humidity level at its setpoint. If the humidity levels rise (due to  
occupant activity) above the 40% level, then the dehumidistat will automatically increase  
the speed of the ventilator fan to high until the humidity level falls below 40%.  
NOTE: During the winter months, the air inside your home usually contains more  
moisture than the outside air even though the outside relative humidity is  
higher than the inside relative humidity. The ventilator will automatically turn  
off the dehumidistat feature during the summer months when the outside air  
contains more moisture than the inside air.  
TIMER  
For your convenience, Honeywell provides an optional timer control that can fit a wide  
variety of needs, for example, exhaust humid air from the bathroom or kitchen (see the  
timer instructions for selection and part numbers).

WALL SWITCH  
A wall switch can also be used to switch your ventilator fan speed to high. The fan will  
run at high speed until the wall switch is turned off.  
The remote device can be wired to run the ventilator at either the high or low speed.  
Getting the most from your Fresh Air Ventilation  
System  
HOW MUCH VENTILATION DO I NEED?  
During the seasons that your windows and doors are closed (winter and summer if you  
have air conditioning), the ventilator should operate continuously when the home is  
occupied, and either continuously or intermittently when not occupied.  
For most installations, the ventilator will normally be set to operate continuously on low  
speed with the option of going to high speed as the need arises. For example, if you  
are entertaining and there is a large number of people present (some may be  
smoking), the ventilator should be switched to high speed.  
YOUR VENTILATOR MAY BE SET TO HIGH SPEED:  
if the system includes an optional remote control, switch it to the ON position.  
NOTE: To set an optional dehumidistat, refer to the previous section of this booklet.  
To operate other remote devices, refer to the device owner’s manual.  
Maintenance Instructions for your Fresh Air  
Ventilation System  
WARNING  
Electrical Shock Hazard.  
Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.  
Disconnect power supply before performing maintenance.  
The Perfect Window™ Fresh Air Ventilation System must be maintained on a regular  
basis for best efficiency. Honeywell recommends that the ventilator be cleaned and  
checked at least twice a year, preferably at the beginning of each heating and cooling  
season.  
Check and Clean  
EXTERIOR HOODS  
Exterior hoods should be inspected at least once a month. Be sure exhaust and fresh  
air supply hoods are not blocked up or restricted by leaves, grass or snow. In winter, it  
is especially important to make sure snow is not blocking the hoods or that frost has  
not built up on the wire mesh (bird screen).

WARNING  
Carbon Monoxide Hazard.  
Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.  
Hood blockage can cause a change of pressure in building which can lead to  
possible spillage from combustible appliances.  
CLEANING FILTERS AND CORE  
Air filters should be cleaned twice a year. The standard filters supplied with your  
ventilator are removable and washable. Core should be cleaned twice each year.  
1. Open ventilator door by loosening draw latches on top of unit and swinging door  
open. For easier access, remove door by moving it right to disengage hinges.  
2. Carefully grip ends of core, (be careful not to damage the aluminum fins); then  
pull evenly outward. Core fits tightly, but slides out of channels.  
3. Once core is removed, filters can be removed by detaching the clips holding  
them in place. Note clip installation for reassembly.  
4a. ERV core: Vacuum the ERV core or rinse with cold water. Do not use soap, dish-  
washer, or a pressure washer.  
4b. HRV core: Soak and rinse the HRV core in warm soapy water. Do not use clean-  
ing solutions.  
5. Wash the filters in warm soapy water.  
6. Place the clean filter (wet or dry) over the core and secure it in place with the  
clips.  
7. Reinstall core by sliding it into the four corner channels. (Water cannot damage  
gasket and label on core ends, so it is not necessary to remove them from the  
core.).  
NOTE: The core is designed to appear to protrude from the cabinet approximately  
1/8 in. (3mm) so the access door fits tightly against the core.

DRAIN LINE (SOME MODELS)  
Clean the drain line once a year.  
1. Inspect the drain line, drain spout and P trap for blockage, mold or kinks.  
2. Flush with warm soapy water and replace if worn or bent, or if it can not be  
cleaned.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE  
Twice a year, wipe the inside of the cabinet with a damp cloth to remove dirt, bugs and  
debris that can be present.  
FANS  
If the fans accumulate dirt, it could cause an imbalance and excessive vibration of the  
ventilator. A reduction in air flow can also occur. In a newly constructed house, this  
often happens within the first year due to heavy dust residue in the entire system. It  
can also occur periodically, depending on the outdoor conditions. If you suspect that  
service is required, please contact the ventilator installer or your local HVAC  
contractor.
