READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

Greenheck Energy Recovery Ventilators, model ERV, are thoroughly inspected and test run at the factory.

However, damage may occur during shipping and handling. Consequently, it is important to inspect the unit for

visible and concealed damage before beginning installation. Report any damage to the shipper immediately. In

addition, assure all accessory items are present. Some accessory items are stored inside the unit during shipping.

Care must be taken during installation to prevent damage to units.

INSTALLATION

The system design and installation should

follow accepted industry practice, such as

described in the ASHRAE Handbook.

Minimum service clearance should be provided

on the side of the unit for routine service and

component removal should it become

necessary.

Before beginning installation see pages 8

through 11 for dimensional data and details on

appropriate service clearances.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

LIFTING

Greenheck model ERVs must be lifted as it ships from the factory. All units are equipped with lifting lugs.

THE USE OF ALL LIFTING LUGS IS MANDATORY WHEN LIFTING. Lifting of the ERV should only be

done with the access doors/panels closed and in place to avoid damage to the unit.

Use spreader bars to prevent damage to the unit cabinetry. Spreader bars must be positioned to prevent

the cables from rubbing against the unit frame or panels. Before hoisting into position, test lift the unit to

verify stability and balance. Avoid twisting or uneven lifting of the unit. Never lift an ERV by

weatherhoods.

SLAB MOUNTING

Arrangement D (Horizontal Discharge)

Slab Construction

• The recommended slab size is 12 inches

wider and longer than the total unit size.

• The material should be concrete with a

thickness of at least 4 inches and proper

reinforcement wire.

• The slab should be set and leveled on a

sufficient bed of gravel for proper drainage.

For proper support, rails should be located 6 to 12 inches in

from the outer edges of the unit and should extend at least

6” beyond the sides of the unit. Rails are by others.

Roof curbs are Model GKD, which are shipped in a

knockdown kit and require field assembly (by others).

Assembly instructions are included with the curb.

2. Cut Roof Opening and Locate Curb

Locate the unit over the roof opening, so the unit

openings and corresponding ducts line up. See the

drawing below.

Be sure to allow for the recommended service clearances.

Keep the inlet of the ERV away from any other exhaust

fans. See page 6 for Recommended Duct Sizes.

3. Install Curb

Locate curb over roof opening with dimensions

shown on page 4 and fasten in place.

Check that the diagonal dimensions are within

±1/8” of each other and adjust as necessary.

Shim as required to level.

Lower unit onto curb by following the LIFTING

instructions on page 3 of this manual. Note, roof

curbs fit inside the ERV unit base.

4. Install Duct Work

Installation of all ducts should be done in

accordance with SMACNA and AMCA guidelines.

The chart on page 6 shows the duct sizes and

straight lengths recommended for optimal

performance (AMCA 201-90). Using duct sizes

less than the recommended lengths will affect fan

performance. Good duct installation practices

should be followed for the remaining ductwork.

ERV-251, 361, 521 and 581

The duct adapter should be used only for properly

locating ducts on these units. The factory duct

adapter must not be used for structural support of

the ducts.

ERV-522 and 582

This duct adapter can be used to locate and

support the duct work.

WEATHERHOODS (Arrangement B, C and D)

The outdoor air intake weatherhood is shipped factory assembled and mounted to the ERV. The exhaust

DUCT WORK CONNECTIONS

Examples of good and poor fan-to-duct

connections are shown in Figure 3. Air flow

out of the fan should be directed straight or

curve the same direction as the fan wheel

rotates. Poor duct installation will result in low

airflow, increased noise levels and other

system effects.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CAUTION !

If any of the original wire must be replaced,

the replacement wire must have a temperature

rating of at least 105°C, except for energy cut-off

or sensor lead wire which must be 150°C.

DANGER !

High voltage electrical input is required for this

equipment. This work should be performed by a

qualified electrician.

Before connecting power to the unit, read and

understand the following instructions and

wiring diagrams. Complete wiring diagrams are

attached inside the door(s) of the unit.

All wiring should be done in accordance with

the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-

latest edition and any local codes that may

apply. In Canada, wiring should be done in

accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code.

The equipment must be properly grounded.

FIGURE 4

All dimensions shown are in inches.

Sequence for wiring ERV unit:

1.The unit’s nameplate states the voltage and total amperage required. The wire

supplying power to the unit should be sized for the label’s voltage and amperage.

2.The main power line should be connected to the disconnect switch. Make sure that the

disconnect lugs are securely tightened. A door interlocking safety disconnect is provided

as a standard feature with model ERV, (see Figure 4, page 6).

Power may be routed to the control center through the curb or the knock-outs on the side

of the ERV. The locations for the knockouts and control center are provided on the ERV

submittal. If power will be routed through the curb and unit base panels, then run the

power supply up through the base panel near the exhaust intake opening of the ERV.

3.Connect control wiring to the terminal strip located in the electrical control center. All

ERV units include, as standard, a transformer to achieve the 24 VAC control voltage.

4.Refer to the wiring diagram located in the control center or included with this manual for

controlling the ERV.

CAUTION

Any wiring deviations may result in personal injury or property damage. Greenheck is not

responsible for any damage to, or failure of the ERV unit caused by incorrect field wiring.
