Hoods can be installed prior to rigging the unit or after the unit is installed. See Rigging and Lifting the Unit. IMPORTANT The exhaust dampers for indoor units (if ordered) are not installed from the factory and must be installed on site. See Exhaust Dampers for Indoor Units. Unit Application Limitations ! WARNING Venmar CES equipment is not designed to be used for temporary heating, cooling and/or ventilation during construction. Using Venmar CES units for temporary ventilation during construction is subject to the unit warranty terms and should be reviewed carefully before proceeding, as this may void the standard warranty conditions. Fine dust, larger particulate matter, solvents, varnishes and other chemicals may cause filter clogging and elevated cabinet pressures, higher power consumption and possible irreparable damage to the desiccant material of the enthalpy wheel, which could reduce energy recovery performance of the wheel and also reduce the heat transfer effectiveness of other components. Potential damages include, but are not limited to, these examples. 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). VCES-ERV-IOM-4A – ERV500–3000 14 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. Access panel Metal or polyamide handle #10 x ¾ Screw Figure 2: Access panel 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.

Slope the drain lines downward in direction of flow 1/8 inch per foot referring to local codes for proper drainage requirements. Installing a plug for cleaning of the trap is recommended. Prime the trap by filling with water before start-up. Winterize the drain line before freezing on outdoor units. Check and clear drains annually at start of cooling season. 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. 2 1 1 J2 JU1G – Intermittent standy (IS) JU1F – Extended defrost COMM. N/C N/O J1 J4 1 2 3 6 4 9 7 Separate Systems Select locations for exhaust grilles and supply diffusers to provide effective ventilation and avoid short circuiting airflows through the space. Adjustable dampers should be provided at every grille and diffuser to make balancing of the system possible. Backdraft Damper 48644 power control board 3 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 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. 22 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%. Sequence of Operation IMPORTANT • On initial power up, the unit will perform a system check and operate at high speed for five seconds. Unit Checkpoints • • • Power connected, no ventilation call – Both fans are off, supply damper (if equipped) closes off outdoor air. Power connected, low speed call (optional) – Both fans on low speed, supply damper (optional) opens outdoor air, recirculation defrost damper (optional) remains closed. Exhaust damper (optional) opens. If unit is single-speed, it will come on that speed on a call for low or high. Power connected, high speed call – Both fans on high speed, supply damper (optional) opens outdoor air. Recirculation defrost damper (optional) remains closed. Exhaust damper (optional) opens. If unit is single-speed, it will come on the speed on a call for low or high. VCES-ERV-IOM-4A – ERV500–3000 • • • Power connected, occupied timer/sensor connection open (factory installed jumper removed/unoccupied mode) – Both fans are off, recirculation defrost damper (optional) remains closed. Supply and exhaust dampers (optional) are closed. Power connected, enthalpy control contacts closed, unit ventilating – Wheel stops rotating, fans stay on set speed, recirculation defrost damper (optional) remains closed. Supply and exhaust dampers remain open. Power connected, enthalpy control contacts closed, unit not in ventilation mode – Wheel does not rotate, fans come on low speed (optional); if unit is singlespeed, it will come on that speed on a call for low or high. Recirculation defrost damper (optional) remains closed, supply and exhaust dampers open. Power connected, recirculation defrost (optional – factory installed) – Recirc contacts are closed, exhaust fan is de-energized, supply fan runs and recirculation damper opens. 23 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. Maintenance ! WARNING Disconnect the main power switch to the unit before performing service and maintenance procedures. See Appendix F for component locations, Appendix H for troubleshooting information and Appendix L for a recommended list of routine maintenance items and time intervals. A more detailed description of maintenance items follows. Air Filters The standard medium efficiency filters and optional high efficiency filters (ERV3000e only) are disposable and should be replaced every three months. More frequent replacement may be required under extremely dirty operating conditions. To remove the exhaust filters in the ERV1000i and ERV2000i/e, remove the screw holding the filter access door and slide the exhaust filter access door down to the bottom of the unit. The filters are set in frames and can be removed by pulling on the filter tabs and sliding them forward and out of the unit. First, the right filter must be removed, then the left filter must slide over to where the right filter was, then pull it forward and out of the unit (see Figure 7).

Loosen the nuts on the jack shaft clamp, remove the actuator. Tighten the clamp on the damper jack shaft. Test for proper operation. 30 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.

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.

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.

VCES-ERV-IOM-4A – ERV500–3000 56 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. GREEN 11 YELLOW 12 LOW 13 COMMON 14 HIGH 15 DIRTY FILTER INDICATOR 16 (1.5A–24 VAC) 17 BLACK 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. CAUTION CONTROL CONTACTS 1 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.

VCES-ERV-IOM-4A – ERV500–3000 Yes N/A 67 Serial Number:______________________________________ Table M2: Start-up Checklist Checklist Item 1 2 Yes N/A 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. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 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.
