IMPORTANT
If the AirCycler® was installed in your home as a ventila-
tion controller, Do Not Disable it.

In the past, homes depended on natural leaks for ventila-
tion. Today energy efficient homes are built so that
natural ventilation and leaks are reduced. Inadequate
ventilation can increase indoor air pollutants to harmful
levels. Indoor air is typically 5 to 10 times more pol-
luted than outside air. Controlled ventilation provides
adequate air flow to the home without compromising its
efficiency.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Read and follow manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Follow all local electrical codes during installation. All
wiring must conform to local and national electrical
codes. Improper wiring or installation may result in
personal injury or product and property damage.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The AirCycler® model does not require batteries. It does
require 24 VAC (R and C terminals) to be connected for
proper operation.The AirCycler will not operate without
these two connections.
The wires (R, C, W & Y) from the air handler to the
thermostat can run parallel with the wiring from the
AirCycler® to the air handler. The fan wire (G) needs to be
interrupted by the AirCycler®. Some thermostats do not
require a (C) connection. The AirCycler requires a (C) for
power , which needs to be wired to the furnace.
Key:
Y- Cooling
Gf - Fan to furnace
R - 24 VAC Power
C- Common
W - Heating
V - Vent
Gt- Fan to thermostat
TROUBLESHOOTING

1.
The furnace has power
2.
The thermostat is operational
3.
The furnace will call for heat from the thermostat
4.
The fan operates with a fan only signal from the
thermostat
3.50 in.
5.
Confirm the furnace is providing 24 VAC to the
9 cm
AirCycler®
6.
Verify wiring conforms to wiring diagram
7.
Make sure top is firmly seated in the base
Problem: AirCycler FR-V turns furnace fan on and off, but
the motorized damper does not cycle.
Solution Check:
1.
Verify that the AirCycler® is providing a 24 VAC signal
to the motorized damper
1.30 in.
2.
Verify that 24 VAC motorized damper is operational by
3.4 cm
powering directly with a 24 VAC signal
3.
Verify continuity in the wiring between the damper
and the AirCycler®
Problem: A/C turns on during fan cycling calls
Solution Check:
1.
Verify wiring conforms to wiring diagram
2.
Verify the G wire is properly connected
3.
The G wire needs to be interrupted by the AirCycler®.
Do not run the G wire parallel.

INTRODUCTION
The AirCycler® is a digital programmable furnace fan
timer. By operating the furnace fan periodically the
AirCycler® improves indoor air quality and thermal
comfort. The furnace fan circulates and filters indoor
air. The AirCycler ® enables the furnace fan to operate
more consistently with programmable ON and OFF
times.
Benefits
• Mixes and circulates indoor air
• Eliminates stagnant air
• Creates even temperature and humidity levels
• Filters indoor air consistently
• An economical alternative to continuously
running the furnace fan
APPLICATIONS
Digital Programmable Furnace Fan timer
The AirCycler® automatically turns the furnace fan
on for a set period of time only when it detects the
system has been inactive for a set period of time.
Ventilation
By adding a fresh air source to the return side of the
air handler, the existing HVAC system can be used
to provide ventilation.The AirCycler® enables this
ventilation system to work properly.
The FR-V adds an output to operate a motorized
outside damper that limits excessive ventilation.
Motorized dampers sold separately:
normally closed, power open 24 VAC
