THE BENEFITS OF THE PERFECT CLIMATE® SYSTEM AND THE  
FRESH AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM  
We take it for granted that our homes protect us from the elements.  
But, because of tighter, better quality home constructions, our indoor  
environments may be exposing us to unacceptable levels of the very  
things we are trying to escape—excessive heat, dryness, humidity,  
toxic gases, dust and contaminants—sealed neatly in by the  
weatherproofing.  
So, what’s the weather forecast for indoors?  
Today’s indoor forecast is stormy weather for many homeowners. But  
rapid clearing and fresh breezes are just around the corner!  
Feeling Right at Home  
Unlike what the outdoor brings us, you can have control of indoor  
conditions. Temperature, humidity levels and air quality all can affect  
physical health, mental attitude, general comfort and energy savings.  
With today’s technological advances, you can achieve a “perfect  
climate” indoors.  
After all, people look to their homes as a place to escape the stresses  
of work, a busy lifestyle and an increasingly polluted outdoor environ-  
ment. Creating a perfect indoor climate is becoming critical to feeling  
right at home.  
The Honeywell Fresh Air Ventilation System removes stale, unhealthy  
inside air and replaces it with a stream of fresh air.  
Have you considered the complete package of Perfect Climate controls  
for your home?

PERFECT CLIMATE®  
Describing Perfection  
The most convenient, most energy efficient, cleanest, healthiest and  
most comfortable indoor environment possible today! Perfect climate is  
achieved when the components of a home’s climate system work  
together:  
optimal efficiency heating and cooling equipment.  
precise, programmable temperature control.  
high efficiency air cleaning/filtering.  
proper humidity control.  
proper ventilation and air distribution.  
whole house water filter.  
security system.  
lighting control.  
multi-zone temperature control.  
Products for a Perfect Climate® System  
Heating and cooling system: This is the workhorse of your indoor  
climate system. Good advice is to have your local heating/cooling  
contractor tune up your system annually for comfort, safety and  
economy reasons. If your heating plant is old, think about replacing it  
with a modern and improved unit. Advances in product technology have  
very impressively increased the efficiency of equipment. Sometimes the  
improved performance will pay back much of the cost in a few short  
years.  
For additional information about the Honeywell Perfect Climate®  
call the 24-hour automated information line at 1-800-468-1502.

CONTROLS FOR YOUR FRESH AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM  
Your Fresh Air Ventilation System controls are located on the ventilator  
cabinet. See Fig. 1. There are two switches, and an indicator light  
(defrost models only). In addition, control of your ventilator may be  
enhanced by the use of one or more Honeywell products—Perfect  
Climate Comfort Centers™, dehumidistats, timers or wall switches.  
1. POWER SWITCH  
This switch is located on the ventilator control panel. It is used to  
control power to the entire ventilation system. When this switch is in  
the Off position, the ventilation system is completely shutdown.  
2. Lo-Standby-Hi SWITCH  
This switch is also located on the ventilator control panel. It is used to  
control the speed of the ventilation system. When the switch is in the  
Lo position, the ventilator runs at reduced speed (135 cubic feet per  
minute [cfm]). When the switch is in the Hi position, the ventilator  
runs at full speed (230 cfm). When the switch is in the Standby  
position, the ventilator is powered, but it is not operating. A signal  
from a dehumidistat, a timer, or a wall switch will cause the ventilator  
to run at full speed. When the signal is removed, the ventilator will  
shut off and return to the Standby mode.  
3. INDICATOR LIGHT (Defrost Models Only)  
The indicator light is located on the ventilator control panel on  
ventilators that have built-in defrost capability. The indicator light is  
on when the ventilation system is in defrost.

OPERATING YOUR FRESH AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM  
Step 1  
Move the power switch to the On position. With this switch in the Off  
position, all power to the system is removed and no system controls will  
have any effect.  
Step 2  
Move the Lo-Standby-Hi switch to the Lo position. This setting will  
provide a low ventilation rate suitable for continuous operation. When  
you do not want continuous ventilation, move the switch to the Standby  
position. Activating a Perfect Climate Comfort Center, a timer, a wall  
switch or the sensing of high humidity by the dehumidistat will switch the  
ventilator into the high speed from either the Lo or Standby position.  
Move the switch to the Hi position when you want maximum ventilation.  
Step 3  
The Perfect Climate Comfort Center may be used to control your ventila-  
tion rate. This can be done automatically by using the programmed times  
or manually by pressing the Ventilate button on the keypad. See the  
Perfect Climate Comfort Center™ User’s Guide (form 69-0891) for  
complete instructions.  
Step 4  
When one or more dehumidistats are part of the control scheme, set the  
dehumidistat at the desired humidity level. Generally, the dehumidistat(s)  
should be located in areas, such as a bathroom, that generate excess  
moisture. When a shower is used, the local humidity level will go above  
the dehumidistat setpoint and the ventilation system will switch to the high  
speed (maximum ventilation). The ventilation system will return to the  
previous setting when the humidity drops below the setpoint.  
NOTE: When there is more moisture in the outside air than the inside  
air (summer time), turn off the dehumidistat(s). Moisture laden  
outdoor air brought inside will not dry the house.  
If your heating system has a powered humidifier, make sure the  
dehumidistat is set at least ten percent relative humidity above your  
humidistat. It may be necessary to lower the humidistat setting to avoid  
condensation in the winter.

Step 5  
Your Fresh Air Ventilation System may utilize one or more timers. When  
a high ventilation rate is desired, turn the timer to the desired number on  
minutes. The Ventilator will switch from the Lo or Standby setting to the  
high speed. The ventilator will return to the previous setting when the  
time runs out.  
Step 6  
Your Fresh Air Ventilation System may utilize one or more wall switches  
to provide manual control of the system. If a high ventilation rate is  
desired, move a switch to the maximum position. The ventilator will run  
at high speed until the switch is returned to the normal position.  
NOTE: The ventilator will run at high speed if any device in the system  
(Perfect Climate Comfort Center, dehumidistat, timer or wall  
switch) is activated.

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR FRESH AIR VENTILATION  
SYSTEM  
Moisture Control  
Continual operation of the ventilation system is recommended for  
optimum reduction of indoor air pollution and control of humidity.  
Increased moisture removal will always occur at maximum ventilation  
rates. Use the Hi switch position when first occupying a newly built  
home to remove excess moisture from new wood, plaster, cement and  
other moisture absorbing construction materials. If your system is wired  
to a dehumidistat, it will switch the ventilator to the high speed setting  
whenever the humidity level goes above the setpoint.  
NOTE: When the amount of moisture in the outside air is greater than  
the amount in the inside air, running the ventilation system will  
not dry the home. This will occur most often in the summer  
months.  
Remote Override Switch Functions  
Your Fresh Air Ventilation System may incorporate one or more  
remotely mounted Perfect Climate Comfort Centers™, dehumidistats,  
timers or wall switches. When any of these devices are activated, the  
ventilator will run at the high speed. The ventilator will return to the  
previous setting when all the remote devices are deactivated. The  
remote override function, in combination with the Standby setting, is  
especially useful for intermittent bathroom exhaust where continuous  
ventilation is not required. Continuous operation is recommended  
except when the home is unoccupied, or when proper ventilation is  
provided by other means such as open doors and windows.  
Defrost  
Ventilators designed for use in cold climates are equipped with an  
automatic defrost system. The ventilator automatically detects restricted  
airflow in the heat transfer core when ice starts to form and a defrost  
cycle is initiated. The ventilator is closed off from the duct system, an  
auxiliary heater is turned on and the air inside the ventilator is recircu-  
lated continually to melt the ice that has formed. When the airflow  
returns to normal, the sequence is reversed and ventilation returns to  
normal. When the ventilator is in defrost, the LED indicator light on the  
control panel is illuminated. Defrost time is held to a minimum by  
Honeywell’s exclusive automatic defrost initiation circuit.
