Installation
Unit Location Requirements
Consult local building codes and electrical codes for special installation requirements and note additional requirements listed in this manual. In choosing the installation
location of the unit, consider the following factors:
•
•
•
•
The unit should be installed to allow easy access for
maintenance and for systems operation. See Appendix B for dimensions and recommended service and
maintenance clearances. Additional installation clearances on indoor unit are provided in Appendix D.
When possible, mount the unit over an unused area
such as a hallway. Although fans and motors are
mounted on vibration pads or isolators and are dynamically balanced, the unit will be even less perceptible if positioned away from busy offices.
Locate the unit in an area requiring the least amount
of ductwork and directional changes to allow optimum performance, to reduce pressure loss and to
use less electricity to achieve proper ventilation. Ductwork must be in accordance with ducting mechanical
rules to prevent sound issues and system effects.
In cold climates with −5°F [−20°C] design, an indoor
unit must be mounted in a dry area (not exceeding
VCES-ERV-IOM-4A – ERV500–3000
•
•
•
•
30% RH) to avoid water condensation on the cabinet
during winter operation. Alternatively, accommodation must be made for condensation on the cabinet
exterior. Do not mount units in an area where exposure to electrical panels or other hazards will occur.
On indoor units, a mounting location close to an exterior partition will minimize the length of insulated
ductwork required. Appendix D illustrates ductwork
through exterior partitions. These should be separated by a minimum of 10 feet [3,000 mm] for Class
2 exhaust or as required by ASHRAE 62.1 to avoid
outside cross contamination.
The fresh air intake hood must be positioned away
from sources of contamination such as hot chimneys
or kitchen exhaust vents.
Fresh air intake must also be positioned in a direction
opposite to that of prevailing winds to reduce entry
of snow or rain.
The unit should be mounted on a level foundation to
allow condensation to flow into internal drains (when
provided). The foundation must provide adequate
continuous support to minimize deflection of the unit
base frame to not more than 1/16” [1.6 mm] over
13
•
•
entire length. In addition to these recommendations,
a Structural Engineer must be involved to properly
size supporting structural elements.
When mounting the unit indoors and drain connections are required, mount the unit on a housekeeping pad of sufficient height to allow for drain trap
height and condensate lines to slope toward the
building drain. Install condensate pumps to reduce
height of housekeeping pads or drill holes in the concrete pad or mechanical room floor for sufficient trap
height.
When mounting the unit on a roofcurb check the
height from the finished roof to the bottom of the
intake hood. Consult with Local Authorities or your
building code for minimal intake hood height for
•
the water-tight height from and above the finished
roof and in snow prone areas the buildup of snow
to determine the height of the roofcurb. If additional
height is required from the finished roof to the top
of the roofcurb, to the bottom of the intake hood or
if other than level, custom height roofcurbs must be
ordered.
When mounting the unit on the roof, check for
possibility of exhaust re-entrainment which can be
caused by placing the unit in an equipment well or
within a recirculation zone created by the interaction
of the wind and resistance of the building, in which
case extension of the exhaust discharge or outdoor
intake may be required.
Ceiling Mount (ERV500i, ERV1000i and ERV2000i only)
The unit must be mounted level and may be hung with
threaded rod (field supplied) through the protruding frame
at the base of the unit. Hole centers are shown in the
overall dimensional drawings in Appendix B. Do not block
access to panels as indicated in Appendix D. Rubber or
seismic vibration isolation may be required in some regions
(field supplied and specified).
IMPORTANT
The Manufacturer recommends that the ERV1500i and
ERV3000i be floor mounted only.
Floor Mount
The unit may be secured to the floor using isolation/vibration pads. The pads may be located on each corner of the
unit’s frame (all mounting hardware is field supplied and
specified).

Roofcurbs Supplied by Venmar CES
Roofcurbs supplied by Venmar CES should be mounted as
follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The roofcurb is shipped knocked-down with assembly hardware and instructions provided. The roofcurb
must be field erected, assembled and set in place by
the Installing Contractor.
Roofcurb dimensions are submitted with the unit mechanical drawings which can also be found in Appendix A and Appendix B which include clearances and
weights. Outdoor air intake, supply discharge, return
air inlet and exhaust air discharge opening locations
are identified in the equipment submittals or where
alternative locations are available from the nomenclature in the submittals or on the unit nameplate.
After the roofcurb has been assembled, ensure that
the roofcurb dimensions suit the unit for which it is
designated.
The cross members must be positioned as per the
roofcurb drawing to properly support the ductwork
plenums for bottom vertical return and supply connections and for stability.
Ensure that the assembled roofcurb is square, plumb
and level to within 1/16” [1.6 mm] over the entire
length. The building structure must provide continuous structural support to the full perimeter of the
roofcurb and may be shimmed.
The roofcurb must be fastened to the building
structure.
The Installing Contractor is responsible for making the
roofcurb water-tight by caulking all roofcurb joints.
IMPORTANT
The following items must be completed prior to setting
the unit on the roofcurb:
•
•
•
•
The roofcurb roofing must be completed including
insulation, cant strip, flashing and counter-flashing.
Vertical ductwork must be attached to the roofcurb and building structure, not to the unit. The
ductwork can be flanged over at the top of the
perimeter opening cross members and/or curb for
an air-tight seal. See Appendix A for information on
roofcurb, installation and dimensions.
If there is no building roof access underneath the
unit and drain or piping connections must be made
(in the roofing), it is recommended to do so before
unit installation using the appropriate materials provided by the Installing Contractor.
Remove the length of 3/8” [9.5 mm] polyvinyl gasket strip with adhesive backing supplied with the
roofcurb and apply a continuous strip to the top
perimeter of the roofcurb and ductwork opening
flanges/cross members for an air- and water-tight
seal as shown in Appendix A.
IMPORTANT
The gasket between the unit and the roofcurb is critical
for an air- and water-tight seal. An improperly applied
gasket can result in air and water leakage and poor unit
performance. Position the unit with equal spacing all
around between the roofcurb and inside unit base rail as
it is being lowered.
Roofcurbs Supplied by Others
Roofcurbs supplied by others must be designed with the
same dimensions and cross member arrangement as per
Venmar CES roofcurb drawings and must be designed to
evenly withstand perimeter and cross section static loads.
VCES-ERV-IOM-4A – ERV500–3000
IMPORTANT
Venmar CES is not liable for any damages, costs or other
issues arising from roofcurbs supplied by others.
15
Rigging and Lifting the Unit
IMPORTANT
The hoods for these units are not installed from the factory and must be installed on site. They can be installed
prior to rigging the unit or after the unit is installed.
Hoods are shipped on top of the unit. When rigging the
unit, make certain that the hoods are secured and are
not damaged by the spreader bars. See Appendix E for
hood installation.
Unit shall be lifted by cables attached to all the lifting
points provided on the unit base as shown in Appendix C.
For the ERV500e, a field supplied support beam such as a
“C” channel is required under and attached to the base
as shown in Figure C1. When lifting the unit use spreader
bars and cables to prevent damage to the unit casing.
Provide additional blocking and coverings (as required)
to prevent damage to the unit finish and/or components.
The spreader bars will help to maintain a certain distance
between the cables and the unit. Venmar CES will not
be responsible for any damage caused to the unit casing
during the lifting process. The lifting point must be at the
center of gravity to ensure that the unit is level during
hoisting and prior to setting. When commencing to hoist,
take up the slack in the hoisting cables slowly and gradually increase the cable tension until the full unit weight
is suspended. Avoid sudden, jerking movements. Do not
permit the unit to be suspended by the lifting lugs for an
extended period of time.
CAUTION
All panels must be in place when rigging.
Exhaust Dampers for Indoor Units
The exhaust dampers for indoor units (if ordered) are not
installed from the factory and must be be installed and
wired (if required) on site. Coiled 24V wire harness with
plug connector is provided on the unit for motorized
dampers when ordered. The dampers should be mounted
sufficiently far enough downstream from the exhaust fan
discharge to avoid causing deficient fan performance or
added pressure loss. A gradual transition in the duct from
discharge to damper size is recommended. Dampers are
for in-duct mounting; see Appendix I for damper dimensions and Field Fabricated Ductwork for fan outlet duct
considerations.
Field Fabricated Ductwork
On outdoor units with bottom vertical duct connections,
secure all ducts to the roofcurb and building structure
prior to unit installation. See Roofcurbs Supplied by Venmar CES. Do not secure ductwork to the unit.
On other duct connection locations, make connections to
the casing by applying caulking around the connection
and screwing flanged ducts directly to the casing and/or
flange with self-drilling sheet metal screws. It is important
to seal all duct connections to prevent air leakage and system performance problems. Ductwork must be supported
by the building structure. For unit and duct opening sizes
refer to submittal documents or see Appendix B.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the fasteners used to make duct connections
do not interfere with fans or dampers in the unit.
airflows on units with direct driven fans (ERV500i/e and
ERV1000i) as shown in Appendix D.
Electric pre-heat in the outdoor air duct, if used as frost
prevention on indoor units, must be installed at a minimum distance from the unit of 24” [610 mm] as shown in
Appendix D.
Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints
and roof openings with counter-flashing and mastic in
accordance with applicable codes. Ductwork running
through roof decks must comply with local fire codes.
Both duct connections to outside must be insulated to
avoid condensation and heat loss. Ducts passing through
unconditioned spaces must be insulated and covered with
a vapor barrier. Flexible connectors should be installed
close to the unit in the duct leading to occupied spaces to
minimize noise transmission.
Transitions may be required to make connection with ductwork that is properly sized for minimum noise and pressure loss as shown in Appendix D.
Airflow rate balancing dampers are recommended for
both supply and exhaust ducts to allow for adjustment of
VCES-ERV-IOM-4A – ERV500–3000
16
Duct Design Considerations
The discharge ductwork immediately downstream from
the double width double inlet fan is critical for successful
applications. Poorly designed ductwork can degrade fan
performance and contribute to excessive pressure drop
and noise.
When designing ductwork in the field, it is important to
use a straight discharge duct of the same dimension as
the fan outlet connection to obtain maximum fan performance. The straight section of ductwork helps the airflow
to develop a uniform velocity profile as it exits the fan and
allows the velocity pressure to recover into static pressure.
See Figure 1.
Centrifugal fan
Cutoff
Discharge duct
Refer to Appendix N to determine the effect of undersized
straight sections of duct with or without duct elbows
within the 100% minimum effective duct length (reference: AMCA publication 201, Fans and Systems).
Example:
For an ERV1500e with a supply flow rate of 2,000 cfm,
with a bottom supply fan discharge connection, with rectangular connection of ‘a’ = 9.25” and ‘b’ = 10.25” the
length of straight duct is 17” before entering a 90 degree
elbow is reached in position C as shown in Figure N1:
•
•
•
•
100% effective duct length
2½ diameters at 2,500 FPM
•
Figure 1: Duct design
•
For 100% recovery of velocity pressure into static pressure,
the straight portion of the discharge duct must be at least
2.5 times the “Equivalent Duct Diameter” of the rectangular duct connection up to 2,500 fpm outlet velocity or
less. Add one duct diameter for each additional 1,000
fpm outlet velocity to the length of the straight portion of
discharge duct. The equivalent duct diameter is equal to
square root of (4ab⁄Pi) where ‘a’ and ‘b’ are the rectangular dimensions of the fan discharge opening.
The equivalent duct diameter is equal to square root
of (4*9.25*10.25⁄Pi) = 10.987”
The outlet velocity is equal to
2,000 cfm/(9.25*10.25/144) = 3,028 fpm
Therefore the minimum length of straight for 100%
effective recovery needed would be equal to
10.987*(2.5+(3,028−2,500)/1,000) = 34” rounded
up to the next whole inch
The effective straight duct was 17” long or
17/34 *100 = 50% effective
From Appendix I, the ERV500 and ERV1000 have
SWSI fans; all other models have DWDI fans. Using
Table N1, with elbow position C and 50% duct effective length, use curve ‘S’
From Figure N2, with an ‘S’ curve at 3,028 fpm and
1.0 multiplier for DWDI fans the added external pressure drop is approximately 0.47*1.00 = 0.47” w.c.
which must be added to the external pressure drop
for the unit
Hood Installation
Intake and exhaust hoods for these models are shipped
separately from the unit. To install hoods see Appendix
E. A quick connect for the damper motors is provided to
VCES-ERV-IOM-4A – ERV500–3000
connect to the main body of the unit. Make sure that all
screws are secured to maintain proper support and keep
seals water-tight.
17
Access Panel Handles
IMPORTANT
Securing door fasteners too tightly has negative effects
on the door gasket and should be avoided.
Handles for access panels are provided but must be installed on site. Handles and fasteners are secured inside or
on top (indoor unit) of the unit. Remove from packaging
and install according to Figure 2.

Internal Packaging
Remove access panels and all packaging from the unit.
Note that there is packaging for wheel support during
shipping (ERV2000i/e only, see Figure 6). Removal of all
packaging is critical.
CAUTION
Remove all ERV wheel packaging prior to start-up.
Coil Piping Connections (ERV3000i/e Only)
Integrated heating and cooling coil options are only available on the ERV3000i/e models. Cooling coils are limited
to airflows up to 2,650 cfm to limit maximum coil velocity
to 505 fpm. All heating and cooling configurations are
factory mounted with cooling coil upstream, heating coil
directly downstream (when both required). Coil connections are extended outside on the side of the cabinet.
External supply and return piping design and all other
safety, freeze protection or control piping requirements for
system operation are the sole responsibility of the Installing Contractor and/or Design Engineer. Refer to ASHRAE
handbooks and local building codes for correct piping procedures and proper installations. Refer to the submittals
for coil performance design information.
Condensate Drain Trap (ERV3000i/e Only)
Cooling coil drain pan is provided with a 1¼” MPT drain
connection. A drain trap and condensate line of equal size
must be field provided on the drain connection to prevent
air or sewer gases from being pulled into the unit caused
by the negative (suction) pressure and forcing water out of
the pan into the unit.
A label with recommended standard trap height is provided on the unit as per Figure 3.
Condensate drain must be trapped as shown.
Refer to IOM for further instructions and maintenance.

Drainage problems can occur should drains be inactive and
dry out, or due to reduced water flow caused by buildup
of algae. Regular maintenance will prevent these problems
from occurring.
Systems Integration
Forced Air System
When the ERV is installed in conjunction with a forced
air system, the air handler and the network of ducts associated with it are used to distribute fresh air inside the
building. If this type of system is used, the main fan of the
air handler must operate continuously when the unit is on.
Fan interlock can be connected in the unit control box to
the integrated control board terminals J3-1 and J3-2 (for
low voltage Class II circuit only). The controller makes relay
contact between these terminals when the unit is operating, as shown in Figure 4.

Fresh air from the ERV should be introduced into the return duct of the air handler at a point no less than 6 feet
[1,829 mm] upstream of the air handler. The duct connection for return air to the ERV should be made on the
return air duct at least 2 feet [610 mm] upstream of the
fresh air duct connection.
A backdraft gravity damper is supplied with recirculation
defrost units to be installed in the exhaust air outlet duct
on indoor units. This damper is necessary to prevent air
from entering the building through the exhaust duct when
the unit is in recirculation defrost mode. See Appendix I
for backdraft damper dimensions.

Start-up
Pre Start-up Procedure
Before requesting start-up, check that the installation is
complete and unit is ready. Complete the pre start-up
checklist below and in Appendix M for each unit as items
are checked. For torque values on set screws, belt tension,
belt alignment, etc., check under Maintenance.
1. Check the electrical disconnect is in the ‘Off’ position.
2. Open access doors and check the unit for shipped
loose parts, obstructive packaging, objects near or in
fans, dampers, enthalpy wheel, etc. Remove all red
tie down bolts on fan assemblies and heat wheel if
so equipped.
IMPORTANT
For ERV2000i/e only, remove the additional shipping brackets from the enthalpy wheel. Failure to do so could severely
damage the wheel surface and void the warranty.
Figure 6: ERV2000i/e shipping brackets
4. Check belt alignment and tension.
5. Check that the air filters are installed and clean.
Replace if necessary. If filters are equipped with optional differential pressure switch, check that desired
setpoint does not exceed factory setting of 0.8” w.c.
[200 Pa].
6. Check coils (if equipped) if fins have been damaged
in transit or construction and are clean. Straighten
fins with fin comb and clean coil if required.
7. Check damper and linkages for free movement.
8. Check that ductwork is connected and complete.
9. Check that condensate drain connection (if equipped)
has been trapped, installed correctly and filled.
10. Check that all shipped loose or field supplied components have been correctly installed and wired.
11. Check that all power supplies and control wiring
have been inspected and approved by the Local Authorities having jurisdiction.
12. Check all factory and field wiring connections for
tightness. Tighten if necessary.
13. Check that all fuses are properly installed in holders.
14. Check the voltage at the disconnect switch against
the nameplate and against phase-to-phase readings
on three-phase. If the voltage is not within 10% of
rated or 2% of phase-to-phase, have the condition
corrected before continuing start-up.
15. Check that all field piping, venting and wiring installation and connections for the heating and cooling
options (if equipped) have been completed and
tested.
16. Check and adjust thermostat setpoints.
3. Check that the fans and heat wheel are rotating
freely.
Start-up Procedure
To ensure proper operation of each unit, qualified personnel should perform the start-up and complete the checklist
below and the start-up form in Appendix M for permanent
record. A completed checklist will provide valuable information for personnel performing future maintenance.
All units are dynamically balanced prior to shipping. However, there are certain operating speeds at which the
natural frequency of the rotating member is attuned to
the natural frequency of the unit panels, which may cause
vibrations.
IMPORTANT
These vibrations can tend to reinforce each other in such
a way that excessive vibration can be encountered under
certain conditions. It is difficult to predetermine this condition because it is affected by the mounting arrangement
and the various modules used to make up the assembly
and the ductwork connections.
A completed copy must be sent back to the factory for
warranty validation and for factory assistance.
All units are factory run tested. Fans and heat wheel are
set up to run correct when power is connected. If any one
fan is running backwards, disconnect power and switch
two leads (on three-phase power) to ensure proper rotation and avoid damage.
VCES-ERV-IOM-4A – ERV500–3000
If the above check reveals no apparent discrepancies and
vibration is still present, the speed of the unit should be
21
lowered approximately 10% to determine if the natural
frequency is causing the vibration.
3. Check that all access panels or doors are closed.
4. Turn the unit disconnect switch to the ‘On’ position.
Under no condition should the unit(s) be allowed to continue to operate when excessive unit vibration is apparent.
Permanent damage may result which will not be covered
under warranty if the unit is allowed to continue in operation when excessive vibrations are evident.
On initial power up, the unit will perform a system check
and operate at high speed for five seconds.
1. Before proceeding complete the pre start-up checklist
2. For the unit to start when the disconnect switch is
turned on a ventilation and fan speed call is required.
a. Check for ventilation call from the remote wall
control connection, occupied timer/sensor connection or BMS, whichever is used. See Appendix G for which terminal connections should be
closed (contacts made) once power is connected.
Circle which device is used.
b. Check for either low speed or high speed (if
equipped) call from the remote fan control, CO2
ventilation control or BMS, whichever is used.
See Appendix G for which terminal connections
should be closed (contacts made) once power is
connected. Circle which device is used.
c. If ‘a’ and ‘b’ are not connected, start can be accomplished by using temporary external ‘dry contacts’ or a jumper wire closing timer contacts 3
and 4 plus low speed contacts 13 and 14 or high
speed contacts 14 and 15, Check if temporary
‘dry contacts’ or a jumper wires used.
!
WARNING
Only low or high speed contacts must be closed at any
one time, never both using dry contacts/jumper wires
otherwise permanent damage to the motor and wiring
will occur.
Remote controls, if installed and connected, operate in
conjunction with the dry contacts/jumper wires. When
controlling units with remote controls, use extreme caution around moving mechanical components such as
fans, belts and motors as they can lead to severe personal
injury.
VCES-ERV-IOM-4A – ERV500–3000
IMPORTANT
5. Check that dampers are operating properly.
6. Wait for fans to run and then shut off unit’s disconnect switch. Check that fans and enthalpy wheel are
rotating in the correct direction. To reverse fan rotation, interchange two wires on load side of threephase power supply.
7. Close all access doors and turn the unit’s disconnect
to the ‘On’ position.
8. Re-check the voltage at the disconnect switch
against the nameplate and against phase-to-phase
readings on three-phase with all fans operating. If
the voltage is not within 10% of rated or 2% of
phase-to-phase have the condition corrected before
continuing start-up.
9. Check amperage draw to each motor on each phase
against motor nameplate FLA. Do not allow the motor’s amp draw to exceed the motor Manufacturer’s
nameplate data. Excessive amp draw will cause premature failure of the motor and void the motor warranty. If significantly different, check ductwork static
and/or take corrective action.
10. Check the operation of the control options and accessories provided with the unit. See Frost Control,
Sequence of Operation and Appendix G for functional descriptions and further details.
11. Check the setpoints on thermostats and controls, adjust and record changes as required.
12. When unit has achieved steady state take measurements and complete the readings section of the
start-up form in Appendix M and send copy of the
start-up form to Venmar CES to validate warranty.
Maintain a copy of the report at the unit for future
reference.

Frost Control
Recirculation Defrost
VSD (Variable Speed Drive) Frost Prevention
Recirculation defrost is a temperature initiated timebased cycle which will de-energize the exhaust fan and
the wheel drive motor, close the outdoor air damper and
circulate return air through both sides of the wheel. If recirculation is in operation, it will run approximately 15%
of the time, only when the outdoor air temperature falls
below 5°F [−15°C].
This variable speed frost prevention option is an exhaust
air temperature controlled function that allows for continuous ventilation by reducing the enthalpy wheel rotational
speed. The rotational speed and therefore effectiveness of
the enthalpy wheel, is modulated to maintain an exhaust
air temperature of 33°F [1°C]. This modulation maintains
the wheel operating temperature at conditions that prevent frost formation. Special consideration must be given
to applications where supply air is being heated, as the
heating capacity maximum condition will be during the
frost prevention cycle.
Exhaust Only Defrost
Exhaust only defrost is a temperature initiated time-based
cycle which will de-energize the supply fan, close the
outdoor air damper and exhaust return air through the exhaust side of the wheel as it continues to rotate. If exhaust
only is in operation, it will run approximately 15% of the
time, only when the outdoor air temperature falls below
5°F [−15°C].
Pre-heat Frost Prevention
Pre-heat frost prevention is an outdoor air temperature
controlled function that allows for continuous ventilation
by monitoring the outdoor air temperature and ensuring
a minimum entering air temperature (into the enthalpy
wheel) of 5°F [−15°C]. There are fixed kW capacity options
available based upon the unit model. For pre-heat capacity requirements, please use applicable ASHRAE formulas.
Pre-heat frost prevention can have two-stage, four-stage
or SCR control.
IMPORTANT
VSD frost control may cause supply air temperatures to
be below freezing. Adequate freeze protection, such
as glycol or low limit temperature protection for downstream coils or reheat to protect building systems, must
be field provided.
Non-defrost
No frost control is required in areas where the winter outdoor air condition stays above 5°F [−15°C] and the return
air humidity level is below 30%.

Airflow Balancing
For proper performance the unit must operate at the
specified supply and exhaust flow rates. Unit fan speed(s)
are theoretically set at the factory based on the ductwork
static pressures and flow rates specified with the order and
in the performance data.
Wheel Pressure Drop vs. Flow Formula and Tables located
in Appendix K for the wheel diameter and thickness or efficiency rating. Heat recovery performance is tested in accordance to AHRI Standard 1060 and is accurate to within
+/−5% if there is no dirt buildup in the heat recovery wheel.
If conditions change or verification is required, airflow
measurements should be taken using AMCA suggested
methods. This would normally be a velocity traverse measurement or flow measuring station (FMS) installed in the
ducts as shown in Appendix D.
Setting Flow Rates
It is important to locate the FMS in the “warm side” ductwork to minimize the effect of differences in air density,
especially when balancing during extremely cold outside
conditions. Air density variations can affect the FMS by
more than 15%. The FMS should be located downstream
from straight sections of duct and not immediately after
fans or obstructions that will cause turbulent flow. Flow
control dampers should be installed downstream from the
FMS so flow through the FMS is not disturbed. Dampers
can then be adjusted to equalize flow rated in the ducts.
Where space is limited in the outdoor air and exhaust air
ductwork, pressure drop readings can be taken across the
enthalpy wheel and read or calculated from the Enthalpy
Units supplied with belt driven double width double inlet
fans have an adjustable motor sheave factory set at the
midpoint of travel at rpm for the flow rate and external
static specified. With optional VFD driven motors this factory setting is at 60 Hz.
For outdoor and exhaust, airflow rate should be balanced
with motors operating at high speed and at 60 Hz by
adjusting the motor sheave pitch diameter. The VFD can
be used for fine tuning depending on sequence or as required.
Units supplied with direct driven single width single inlet
fans operate at the motor rpm. Flow rate must be balanced on jobsite by adjusting field supplied and installed
balancing dampers as shown in Appendix D and measuring airflow as described in Airflow Balancing.

Fans
!
WARNING
Disconnect the main power switch to the unit before performing service and maintenance procedures.
ERV units may be fitted with direct driven fans and motors (ERV500i/e and ERV1000i) or belt driven fans. Belt
driven fans are provided with either spider bracket bearings which come pre-lubricated from the Manufacturer
and require no re-lubrication, or with pillow block bearings which are pre-lubricated. Pillow block bearings
should be lubricated at six to twelve month intervals. The
recommended lubricant is Shell Alvania #2 or S3. A small
amount of grease should be added slowly while the shaft
is rotated. Note: Over greasing may cause damage to the
bearing. Avoid rupturing the bearing seal.
Fan wheels and fan housings should be checked for dirt
buildup. If they are dirty, it will be necessary to remove
the blower assembly to clean the dust out through the fan
discharge.

Belt Tension Adjustment
Excessive belt tension is the number one cause of fan
bearing failure. Proper belt tension and pulley alignment
are essential for trouble free operation. A simple rule of
thumb for checking belt tension is illustrated in Figure 16.
When the belt is grasped as shown in, a total deflection of
approximately 1” [25 mm] should be attained. Insufficient
deflection indicates that the belt is too tight, which may

sliding the cassette assembly part way out of the unit.
Disconnect the service connector to the drive motor of the
enthalpy wheel cassette. Slide the cassette assembly out
of the unit enough to access the drive motor. Loosen the
four Nyloc nuts (#1, Figure 26) holding the drive motor
using a socket or wrench. Rotate the drive motor to loosen
the belt and replace the belt if necessary. Rotate the drive
motor in the slots to tighten the drive belt. Secure the
motor in it’s new location by tightening the four Nyloc
nuts. (#1, Figure 26). Complete the installation by reversing the above procedure.

Face Seal Replacement and Adjustment
CAUTION
When handling the enthalpy wheel, ensure not to damage the face of the wheel.
To replace the face seals, the cassette assembly must be
removed from the unit. Disconnect the service connector
to the drive motor of the enthalpy wheel cassette. Remove
the cassette from the unit and stand up on the floor or
Figure 26: Cassette and drive
Testing and Replacement of the Damper Actuator
After disconnecting the power from the unit, determine
if the actuator is defective. Disconnect the 24V power
source. Connect the actuator directly to a 24V power
source with an appropriate cable. If the damper operates
correctly, the problem is either in the wiring connections
VCES-ERV-IOM-4A – ERV500–3000
or main circuit board. If the actuator does not work,
it must be replaced. Loosen the nuts on the jack shaft
clamp, remove the actuator. Tighten the clamp on the
damper jack shaft. Test for proper operation.

Coils
!
WARNING
Disconnect the main power switch to the unit before performing service and maintenance procedures.
Dirt on the surface of the coil reduces its ability to transfer
heat which lowers the efficiency of the unit, resulting in
poor air quality and expensive operating costs. Because of
the condensate on the coil, the dirt often becomes wet
and contributes to the growth of microbial organisms.
Negligence in maintenance may result in serious health
related indoor air quality problems.
The coil should be kept clean for maximum performance.
To achieve maximum efficiency, clean the coil often during
periods of high demand or when dirty conditions prevail.
Venmar CES recommends cleaning the coil a minimum of
once per year to prevent dirt buildup in the coil fins where
it may not be visible.
Coil fins can be cleaned by using steam with detergent,
hot water spray or a commercial chemical coil cleaner.
After cleaning the coil, be sure to rinse thoroughly.
2. Open panels or doors to gain access to both sides of
the coil section.
3. Remove soft debris from both sides of the coil with a
soft brush.
4. Using a steam cleaning machine, clean the leaving
airside of the coil first (going downward) then clean
the entering airside. Use a block-off to prevent the
steam from penetrating a dry section of the unit.
5. Allow the unit to dry thoroughly before restoring
power.
6. Damaged coil fins (excluding brazed aluminum)
should be straightened by using a fin comb.
7. Close all panels and doors once the coil is dry.
8. Restore electrical power to the unit.
CAUTION
Do not use acidic chemical coil cleaners. Do not use alkaline chemical coil cleaners with a pH value greater than
8.5 or lower than 6 (after mixing) without using an aluminum corrosion inhibitor in the cleaning solution. Using
these types of cleaners may result in unit damage.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Shut down the unit by closing the main disconnect at
the power inlet.
System Operation Check
Verification of all control modes should be checked to ensure proper operation. Refer to Start-up section.

Appendix G: Terminal Control Diagrams
Wall Control Connection
Occupied Timer/Sensor Connection
Two types of remote wall controls are available:
Occupancy control is achieved by connection to the terminal interface shown below. These terminals require a dry
contact which could be provided by a number of types of
controls such as a timer, light sensor, occupancy sensor,
Building Management System or other. The unit will not
operate unless these contacts are closed!!
1. Standard wall control with fan switch and dehumidistat control.
2. Xtra wall control with fan mode selection, dehumidistat control and maintenance indicator.
The remote wall controls work with the integrated electronic controls within the unit to control ventilation sequences. Each wall control above has different features
and will require four-wire connection to the unit as shown
below. Without the wall control, fans can be operated
with dry contacts or a switch as in Figure G5.
The drawing below shows a factory installed jumper and
programmable timer option.
IMPORTANT
All controls accessories (ex. night setback timer, CO2
controller, enthalpy controller, smoke detector or wheel
rotation sensor) intended to provide a contact closure for
occupancy control across terminals 3 and 4 cannot be
used in conjunction with the Xtra wall control.
IMPORTANT
All controls accessories (ex. night setback timer, CO2
controller, enthalpy controller, smoke detector or wheel
rotation sensor) intended to provide a contact closure for
occupancy control across terminals 3 and 4 cannot be
used in conjunction with the Xtra wall control.
If a wall control is required in addition to any of these
options, only the standard wall control may be used.
Without these options, a factory installed jumper across
terminals 3 and 4 must be installed.

Enthalpy Control
ERVs can be controlled by an enthalpy controller that
switches between free cooling and AC unit cooling. When
free cooling is possible, the ERV will ventilate without energy recovery (the enthalpy wheel stops) on a call for cooling. The ventilation rate is not affected. If the unit is not
operating, enthalpy control contact will initiate low speed
ventilation. The enthalpy control must be connected in
conjunction with a cooling thermostat control to prevent
free cooling from initiating in heating seasons as shown
below.

Wheel Rotation Sensor Used as Low
Temperature Control (Wheel Failure)
Wheel Rotation Sensor
ERVs can be equipped with a wheel rotation sensor board
but must be ordered with a control board. On power up
of the unit, the wheel rotation sensor board’s relay coil
is activated and closes the ‘NO’ set of contacts that are
wired to the Occ/Unocc control terminals on the unit. In
this condition, the unit is allowed to operate in a normal
occupied state. When a wheel rotation failure occurs, the
relay coil is de-activated and opens the contacts that are
wired to the Occ/Unocc control terminals. In this condition, the unit is in an unoccupied state. The fans are deenergized and the outdoor air dampers will close.
The wheel rotation sensor board has jumpers that can
be used to set the time duration (one, two, four or eight
minutes) for the alarm to be activated after the wheel failure. This alarm can be used to turn on an alarm light (see
Figure G9) or to protect downstream coils from freezing in
below zero conditions.
IMPORTANT
The wheel rotation sensor option must be ordered with
a unit control board for wall control compatibility. The
wheel rotation sensor option cannot be ordered with a
non-defrost unit.

IMPORTANT
If the wheel rotation sensor board shuts the unit down,
the only procedure to re-start the unit is to turn the
power off and then back on again.
A set of 24 VAC wheel alarm contacts are available on the
terminals to power a light or indicator. The drawing below
shows the wiring necessary to power the 24 VAC light or
indicator.

ERVs can be equipped with a wheel rotation sensor option. This option cannot be ordered for a non-defrost unit.
This option cannot be used in conjunction with a digital
wall control and must be ordered with a control board.
With the wheel rotating, the wheel rotation sensor board
activates the relay coil and closes the ‘NO’ (normally open)
set of contacts across the occupied/timer sensor contacts
(Pin 3 and 4), allowing the unit to operate. If the wheel
rotation stops (unless in an enthalpy state, defrost mode
or unoccupied condition), the contacts will be open and
cause the motors to shut down and the dampers (optional) to close.
The wheel rotation sensor printed circuit board has 120
VAC wired to two terminals. Improper wiring or handling
of the circuit board could damage the board, the unit or
cause personal injury.

On recirc defrost units, an unoccupied recirc control can
be achieved by connection to the terminal interface shown
below. These terminals require a 24 VAC signal which
could be provided by a timer, thermostat or other. Closure
of these terminals will cause the unit to go into a recirc

Smoke Detector
Locate in a normally occupied area of premises. Recommended for compliance to NFPA-90A and IMC code 606.
ERVs can be equipped with a duct mount smoke detector
which will monitor the air when passing through the duct
system into the ERV. When sufficient smoke is detected,
an alarm condition is activated. By connecting the occupied timer/sensor contacts to the ‘NC’ alarm auxiliary contacts on the duct sensor, an alarm condition will open the
auxiliary contact and stop operation of the ERV.

If this method leads to an actual MOP value being smaller
than the calculated total MCA, then a larger value must
rather be selected, such that the actual MOP is at least
equal to the calculated total MCA.

Before proceeding, complete the pre start-up checklist.
For the unit to start when the disconnect switch is turned on a ventilation and fan speed call is required.
a.Is a ventilation call available from the remove wall control connection, occupied timer/sensor connection
or BMS, whichever is used? See Appendix F for which terminal connections should be closed (contacts
made) once power is connected. Circle which device is used.
b.Is either a low speed or high speed (if equipped) call available from the remote fan control, CO2 ventilation control or BMS, whichever is used? See Appendix F for which terminal connections should be closed
(contacts made) once power is connected.
c.If ‘a’ and ‘b’ are not connected, start can be accomplished by using temporary external dry contacts or a
jumper wire closing timer contacts 3 and 4 plus low speed contacts 13 and 14 or high speed contacts 14
and 15. Are temporary dry contacts or a jumper wire used for start?
!
WARNING
Only low or high speed contacts must be closed at any one time using dry contacts/jumper wires not both otherwise permanent
damage to the motor and wiring will occur.
Remote controls if installed and connected operate in conjunction with the dry contacts/jumper wires. When controlling units with
remote controls, use extreme caution around moving mechanical components such as fans, belts and motors as they can lead to
severe personal injury.
3
Close all access panels or doors.
Turn the unit disconnect switch to the ‘On’ position.
IMPORTANT
4
On initial power up, the unit will perform a system check and operate at high speed for five seconds.

Wait for blowers to run and then shut off units disconnect switch. Are the blowers and enthalpy wheel rotating in the correct direction? To reverse fan rotation, interchange two wires on load side of three-phase power
supply.
Are dampers operating properly?
Close all access doors and turn the unit’s disconnect to the ‘On’ position.
Re-check the voltage at the disconnect switch against the nameplate and against phase-to-phase readings
on three-phase with all blowers operating. If the voltage is not within 10% of rated or 2% of phase-tophase have the condition corrected before continuing start-up.
Check amperage draw to each motor on each phase against motor nameplate FLA. Do not allow the motor’s amp draw to exceed the motor Manufacturer’s nameplate data. Excessive amp draw will cause premature failure of the motor and void the motor warranty. If significantly different check ductwork static and/or
take corrective action.
Check the operation of the control options and accessories provided with the unit. See Frost Control, Sequence of Operation and Appendix F for functional descriptions and further details.
Check the setpoints on thermostats and controls; adjust and record changes as required.
When unit has achieved steady state take measurements and complete readings section of start-up form for
each operating cycle to verify all components are functioning properly.

1. For double width double inlet fans use the same system effect factor – pressure drop curve as for SWSI
fans but if elbows are installed within the 100% effective duct length multiply the pressure drop value
by the following multiplier based on elbow position
from Table N1.
a. Elbow position B = pressure drop * 1.25
b. Elbow position D = pressure drop * 0.85
c. Elbow position A and C = pressure drop * 1.00
