INTRODUCTION AND COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The Aprilaire® Model 8142 and 8142NC Fresh Air Ventilator is designed to bring in precisely the right amount of outdoor air into today's efficiently
designed homes . Duct the inlet of the ventilator to an outdoor air intake and duct the discharge to the HVAC system and then simply plug the unit in,
set the amount of needed ventilation and select the desired temperature limits .
High/low temperature limits are set on the control to prevent bringing in outdoor air during the hottest or coldest period of the day . The built in
control will automatically compensate for the ventilation time that is missed by bringing in additional outdoor air . Compliance with the requirements
of ASHRAE 62 . 2 -2010 is met as the control adds ventilation time as needed to account for the fractional on-time and effectiveness of the ventilation
schedule . The control will also ensure that ventilation occurs no less than one hour of every four . When properly installed and set, the Model 8142 and
8142NC Fresh Air Ventilator will meet the mechanical ventilation requirements of:

INSTALL ELECTRICAL OUTLET
Install a standard NEMA 5-15 grounded, switched receptacle suitable for the location, near where the ventilator will be installed . The ventilator comes
equipped with a 6-foot power cord with a standard 5-15P grounded plug . Locate the switch in a suitable location to allow the user to manually
override the mechanical ventilation system . Use the label provided in the carton to label the switch "Mechanical Ventilation" or something similar to
differentiate it from standard outlet or light switches .
