Setting the Ventilation Controller

Ventilation Time Setting (min./ hr.)

House Size (square feet) Bedrooms
2 3 4 5
1000-1500 15 20 25 25
1501-2000 20 25 25 30
2001-2500 20 25 30 30
2501-3000 25 30 30 35
3001-3500 25 30 35 40

As an example, for a 2500 square foot home with 3 bedrooms, set the controller to 25 minutes of ventilation per one-hour cycle.

Notes:

  1. Based on proposed ASHRAE 62.2P ventilation requirement.
  2. Based on fresh air duct of 20' long flex duct, 0.08 in. w.c. static pressure at fresh air duct.
  3. Based on the default setting of one hour Cycle Time. Use Cycle Time settings of 2, 3 or 4 hours where longer run times or less frequent operation is preferred. Adjust Ventilation Time accordingly. (In the above example, set the Ventilation Time to 50 minutes and the Cycle Time to 2 hours.)

Additional Information

A longer fresh air intake duct or lower return static will increase the Ventilation Time required. Additionally, local codes may affect the Ventilation Controller setting. For more detailed guidelines, please see our website at www.aprilairecontractor.com or call (800) 334-6011.
