Pioneer® ECOasis Ducted 160 Ceiling-Mounted Energy Recovery Ventilator, 147 CFM, 6 in. Ducts

Summary

The Pioneer® ECOasis Ducted 160 brings balanced, filtered fresh air to your home from a compact unit hidden above the ceiling. It continuously exhausts stale indoor air while supplying fresh outdoor air, and its total heat (enthalpy) exchanger transfers both heat and moisture between the two airstreams, so you get fresh air without throwing away the energy you paid to heat, cool, or dehumidify. Rated at 147 CFM, it pairs independent 10-speed DC supply and exhaust fans with an automatic bypass for free cooling and a programmable weekly schedule.

Key Features

• Total heat (enthalpy) recovery: A high-efficiency paper-core exchanger recovers temperature and moisture from exhaust air, with sensible recovery efficiency up to 84.3% at 32°F.
• 100% automatic bypass: When outdoor temperatures fall within your set comfort range, the unit bypasses the core to deliver outdoor air directly for free cooling.
• Independent 10-speed DC fans: Supply and exhaust speeds adjust separately, so the system can be balanced or set for slight positive or negative pressure.
• Four operating modes: Heat exchange, bypass, automatic (four time periods per day, programmable Monday through Sunday), and sleep, plus a timed on/off function.
• Cold-weather protection: Automatic anti-frost and low-temperature operating cycles protect the core in winter.
• Boost on demand: A dedicated input lets a bathroom or kitchen switch run both fans at maximum speed.
• CO2- and humidity-ready: Add the optional CO2 or humidity sensor to enable automatic CO2 boost and forced dehumidification modes.
• Wi-Fi ready: Connect the optional Wi-Fi module to control and monitor the unit from your phone with the Smart Life app.
• Wired LCD wall controller: Displays mode, fan speed, schedule and fault codes, plus outdoor, supply and return air temperature.
• Building-system ready: RS485 communication, fire alarm input, and run/error signal outputs.
• Quiet, durable construction: Galvanized steel shell with an integrated EPS foam structure and internal insulation.
• Easy maintenance: Washable primary filters and the heat exchanger slide out through a side access door.
• CSA certified: Certified for the US and Canada to UL 1812 and CSA C22.2 No. 113.
