TFP Independent Installation
No HRV, Radiant Heating System
LOCATION
1. A TFP is usually installed in a basement area
where air flow noise will be negligible to the
occupants.
2. A central location between the clean air supply
grille and return grille is recommended.
MOUNTING
Refer to “Mounting” under Type 2 Installations.
DUCTING
1. Install (2) 7” port collars (provided) on TFP
cabinet with (8)8/32” X 3/8” sheet metal screws
provided (Fig.4).
2. Ducting will usually consist of one return with
grille from one side of the home, and one supply
with grille at the opposite end of the home (Fig. 4).
3. Ductwork should be no smaller than the size of
the port collars (7”) on the TFP.
4. Ductwork should be kept as short and straight
as possible to allow for good air circulation.
NOTE: For installations of more than one return or
supply (greater than .5 e.s.p.) , it is often necessary to
add an inline fan to the system as a booster.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A lighted ON/OFF switch indicates that the unit is
operating. It is recommended the unit run continuously
to provide the full benefits of particulate removal from
your home.
ANNUAL CHECK-UP
As each home has differences of size, occupancy,
location, infiltration rates and homeowner needs, it is
hard
to estimate when the collectors will need to be
changed.
The collectors will slide out. Some discolouration of
the collector medium can be expected and when loose
dust falls from the collector, it is time to replace it.
Turn the TFP, furnace fan and HRV off. Open the door
and slide out the collectors to check buildup and do an
annual inspection of overall unit. Before replacing any
collectors, vacuum any dust inside the cabinet or
surrounding area. When replacing the collectors,
make sure the directional arrows are noted and
the collectors are installed correctly. Close the
door and restart TFP, furnace and HRV fan.
When your TFP is installed with a forced air heating
system you are still required to use the recommended
furnace filter. This may be a good time to inspect this
filter as well.
When new collectors are required, call your Lifebreath dealer
.
