Warning:
Injury or death can result from improper rigging and lifting. Rigging and
lifting of equipment must be performed by qualified personnel with proper
equipment using appropriate and approved safety precautions.
LIFTING
Engineered Air units are constructed on a structural steel base frame. The unit base frame is equipped with
lifting lugs specifically located to facilitate proper lifting of the unit. Spreader bars must be used to keep
rigging away from the unit cabinetry. All lifting lugs must be used. If using a lift truck, ONLY lift using the
perimeter structural frame. DO NOT allow forks to lift on cabinet or unit floor.
Note: There may be bottom mounted components, such as drain piping, that can be easily damaged.
MOUNTING
Units must be mounted level. Failure to do so can cause water to be trapped in drain pans or operational
problems that can void warranty. Failure to do so can result in injury or death, damage the equipment
and/or building and can be a cause of poor indoor air quality.
Equipment must be installed so that sufficient working clearance and component access is provided.
Some units are designed for cantilevered installation. Consult the Submittal Record for specific unit
mounting.
Consult the Submittal Record for specific unit mounting. Engineered Air units are constructed for three
types of mounting:
1. Base mounting – Consult the Submittal Record for type of mounting. Unless the unit is specifically
designed for point or other mounting, the base of the unit must be supported continuously by a
mounting support system that is directly below the unit structural base frame and runs the entire
length and width of the unit. Refer to the Submittal Record for mounting information. Units 100”
(2500mm) wide and under can be supported on each side continuously along the length of the unit.
As a minimum, sleepers that are installed perpendicular to the length of the unit must be continuous
across the width of the unit and shall be installed at the end lifting point base rails and the lesser of
80” (2000mm) on center or at all lifting points.
2. Suspended mounting – Where units have been designed for suspended mounting, factory provided
connections for hanger rods will be provided. All hanger rod supports must be used. Suspended
units must be protected from damage. When installed in aircraft hangers, parking garages or
repair garages the installation must comply where applicable with:
a) The Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, C.S.A. Standard B149.1
b) The Standard on Aircraft Hangers, ANSI/NFPA 409

A HE, DE & RE MANUAL
3. Roof curb mounting – The curbs are constructed of heavy gauge load bearing, galvanized steel,
and must be fully insulated after installation. Wood nailer strips are provided for easy attachment of
roof flashing. Gasket material is supplied with the unit and must be field mounted on the curb to
seal the joint between the curb and the unit frame. The curb must be supported along its entire
perimeter and any full height cross members as shown on the shop drawings. Point loading of
curbs is not permissible.
The gasket material provided for the curb is closed cell foam. Closed cell foam is dense and does
not compress easily. If the unit is split and shipped in sections there will also be gasket material for
sealing between sections. The gasket material for splits is open cell foam. It is less dense than the
closed cell foam and compresses easily.
ONLY USE THE CLOSED CELL FOAM GASKET PROVIDED FOR SEALING THE CURB.
Curbs may be broken down for shipping. Field assembly is required by the installing contractor. Bolt
all sections together at split joints using hardware provided. The installing contractor must caulk and
seal all joint and corner flashings. All flashings and braces that are provided must be installed. DO
NOT screw/penetrate joint, corner or adaptor flashings. Refer to assembly instructions sent with
roof curb.
SHIPPING MATERIALS

supplied.
IOM-26 10 of 33 Oct 12 R4
Page 11
A HE, DE & RE MANUAL
Warning:
Assembly of split units requires bolting together the base frame of adjacent
sections. This may require personnel to work under the unit during
assembly. Injury or death can result from improper support or improper
loading of the curb. Additional temporary support shall be provided by the
installer for the safety of personnel.
ASSEMBLY
If the unit is split and shipped in sections, the sections must be field assembled. All sections are pre-drilled
for assembly. The hardware and gaskets are packed in one of the sections. Apply the gasket, align the
sections. The base frame must be bolted together first. Access below the unit for bolting of the base frame
must be provided. Once the base frame has been tightly fastened, loosely assemble all the bolts and nuts,
and then tighten. Caulk all split lines. Install split joint caps. The inlet hood is designed for field installation.
On outdoor units connect the hood to the support flange and attach with appropriate fasteners.
The gasket material provided for the split is open cell foam. Open cell foam is light and compresses easily.
If the unit is mounted on a curb provided by Engineered Air there will also be gasket material for sealing
the curb. The gasket material for curbs is closed cell foam. It is more dense than open cell foam and does
not compress as easily.
ONLY USE THE OPEN CELL FOAM GASKET PROVIDED FOR SEALING THE SPLIT(S).
Split unit wiring
All split wiring must be completed by an electrician prior to starting the equipment. A number of different
methods are used to reconnect the wiring.
Power wire: this wiring is generally not broken or spliced, and will extend from the device back to the
contactor or terminal block inside the electrical panel(s). The wire will be tagged to identify which panel it
extends to and will be numbered to the corresponding connection.
The location of the equipment split line may result in the wire being disconnected at the device it is feeding.
The wire bundle will be tagged and identified. Confirm correct rotation of 3 phase devices after the wiring
connections has been completed.
Control wire: this wire is typically broken near the split line, to be reconnected at either a enclosed terminal
block, junction box or extended to a nearby control panel. Each wire or wire bundle will be tagged and
numbered to indicate the location it is sent to.
Sensor wire shield: The drain wire from the shield must be grounded (at one end only). A ground
connection point is available for connection at the point of termination.
All loose wiring must be securely fastened to the equipment casing upon completion.

Recommended 24V Field Wiring Size:
Copper conductors only
Notes:
1) The field wiring load depends on the actual load on a particular control circuit the field wiring is
connected to. Refer to the internal wiring diagram of the unit.
2) The table above is based on a maximum 10% voltage drop on a 24V control circuit. Wire size was
calculated using the following formula:
CM = (25 x I x L ) / V
Where CM is circular mils of conductor for a constant load of I amps, wire length L in feet from the
unit to the field device and back, and voltage drop V.
When connecting to a three phase power supply, check for the correct rotation of all motors and fans. If the
rotation is incorrect, reverse the rotation at the incoming power only. All electrical conduit outlets in the
control panel must be sealed to prevent moist building air from migrating to the control panel.
All penetrations through the unit walls must be caulked and sealed to prevent air and/or water from
entering the unit.

Caution:
Use a backup wrench on threaded coil connections when installing piping.
DUCT MOUNTED TE-6000-EA3 TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Some applications require field installed discharge air
sensors.
The sensor strip must be parallel to the air flow. The
sensor should be mounted near the center of a straight
duct 5 to 10 feet (1500 to 3000mm) downstream of the
supply air connection to the Engineered Air unit. Avoid
installing near duct transitions or elbows.
Use twisted pair or shielded wiring. The ground shield
should be grounded only at the unit control panel end.
Protect the opposite end ground and any unused wire with
electrical tape.
When installing an Engineered Air TE-6000-EA3 duct
mounted temperature sensor, the sensor strip must be
parallel to the air flow as shown.
COIL CONNECTIONS
This equipment may require field connection of water, steam or refrigerant coils. For proper operation
airflow must be counterflow to the flow of the fluid. The inlet water connection is normally at the bottom of
one header and the outlet water connection at the top of the other header. The steam connection is at the
middle of the supply header and the condensate is at the bottom of the other header.
For refrigerant coils, all piping is to be installed by a qualified refrigeration mechanic. All refrigeration
specialties shall be installed using good refrigeration installation and design practices.
Recovery, reuse, recycling, reclamation, and safe disposal of refrigerant is the only acceptable practice
today. Venting of refrigerant into the atmosphere during installation or servicing is unacceptable. To avoid
damage, use an accepted refrigerant recovery system whenever removing refrigerant. When working with
refrigerants you must comply with all local government safety and environmental laws.

DRAIN TRAPS
Each drain connection requires a separate drain trap supplied and installed by the contractor. For a trap to
work properly, it must be primed. During freezing periods, primed traps may need to be heat traced or drain
and plug the trap when not in use. If a drain connection has a smaller pipe inside, connect to the outer pipe
only. Ensure that the trap is of adequate depth to operate against a static that includes the extra pressure
drop for dirty filters.
In some applications (e.g. heat recovery units) there may be additional drain connections inside the curb
intended to be connected to the building drainage system. These drains must be connected and properly
trapped.
Cooling coil drain pans may have multiple drain connections extending outside the unit casing. Multiple
drains may be connected to a common drain providing that each drain is individually trapped and vented to
avoid problems from drains in different pressure zones. The drain must be properly sized and sloped.
Size drain trap with the following minimum requirements:
a) Units With Draw Through Drain Pans:
H1 = Negative Static† x 1.5 + 3.5” (89mm)
H2 = Negative Static† x 0.75 + 2.5” (64mm)
b) Units With Blow Through Drain Pans:
H2 = Maximum Positive Static† x 1.5
H1 = H2 + 0.5” (13mm)
† Static Water Column (WC) in inches or mm
including fully loaded filters.
Ensure adequate clearance for properly sized drain traps.
FLUSHING AND DEGREASING OF WATER AND GLYCOL COILS
Coil tubing may contain material or residue from manufacturing, transportation or storage. To prevent
possible damage to other components in the system, the coils must be flushed and degreased. Consult a
qualified water treatment specialist.

Some systems may use CPVC piping. Do not use propylene glycol with CPVC.
BEFORE START-UP
Remove tie-down bolts, straps and blocks on fan and compressor vibration isolators, tilt equipped heat
pipes and enthalpy/desiccant wheels if supplied.
START-UP CHECK LIST
The start-up and operation must be in accordance with safe practices. Start-up must be performed by
qualified personnel. Complete attached start-up record.
1. Set all associated electrical switches, controls, thermostats and main disconnect switch to “OFF”
position.
2. Close all manual valves and field piping valves.
3. Confirm that all shipping materials have been removed. See any supplemental instructions shipped
with the unit to help identify possible locations.
4. Check all bearings, drive and fan set screws for tightness. See TABLE I
5. Check drive alignment and belt tension. Refer to Maintenance, page 26.
6. Inspect all electrical wiring, both field and factory installed, for loose connections. Ensure fire alarm
contact is installed, or jumpered if not required.
7. Turn disconnect switch ON (control switch is still off) and check the supply voltage. Voltage must be
within 10% of rating plate. If not, contact the installing electrical contractor and have the voltage
condition corrected before continuing start-up.
8. Check all fan motors for correct rotation. If incorrect, reverse rotation on incoming power only.
IOM-26 20 of 33 Oct 12 R4
Page 21
A HE, DE & RE MANUAL
9. Set thermostat or controller to the “OFF” position and turn unit control switch “ON”.
10. Check the amperage draw of each motor and compressor. Refer to unit or motor rating plate for full
load amps. At the unit, check and record the voltage while it is running. For 3 phase power the
phase to phase voltage imbalance should be less than 2%. A 2% voltage imbalance can cause up
to a 10% current imbalance that will overheat motor windings.
To calculate voltage imbalance (NEMA method) refer to the following example:
Phase to phase voltage readings: 235V 236V 230V
The average Voltage between legs is 233.7V (235+236+230)/3
Highest voltage deviation from average is: 233.7V – 230V = 3.7V
Voltage imbalance percentage = Highest deviation divided by average X 100
3.7 / 233.7 x 100 = 1.6% This imbalance is less than 2% and therefore is OK
If voltage imbalance is greater than two percent (2%), turn off main disconnect and contact
the installing electrical contractor to have the voltage condition corrected.
11. Enable heating and/or cooling; refer to unit function for correct sequence and operation.
12. Confirm field wiring voltage drop is less than 10% when equipment is operating.
13. For the unit to operate properly a system air balance must be performed to ensure correct air flow.
Failure to do so can damage the equipment and/or building and can be a cause of poor indoor air
quality.
14. Some units are equipped with an adjustable coil air bypass. This must be field adjusted during the
system air balance to ensure proper air flow across the coil. Adjust the bypass to achieve coil
pressure drop as stated on the submittal and/or the unit function sheet.
15. Set all controls to the settings indicated on the wiring diagram.
16. Re-install all access panels.
17. Remove any packing material or debris and dispose appropriately.

SAFETY SHUTOFF VALVE LEAK TEST:
Safety shutoff valves require a qualified technician to perform a leak (bubble) test to determine tightness of
closure on a least an annual basis. A very small amount of leakage is normal. Valve leakage rates
exceeding those noted in the table below require repair or valve replacement.
1. De-energize the control system.
2. Close the upstream manual gas valve.
3. Connect a ¼” (6mm) tube to the outlet
pressure tap on the safety shutoff valve.
4. Immerse the opposite end of the ¼” (6mm)
tube (cut to a 45° angle) vertically ½” (13mm)
into a clear container of water.
5. Count the number of bubbles appearing
during a 10 second period.
6. If the bubble rate is greater than that noted in
the table repair or replace the valve.
7. If bubble rate is less than noted in the table,
remove the ¼” (6mm) tube, reconnect the
outlet pressure tap plug.
8. Energize the control system and open
upstream manual gas valve.
9. After testing check all piping connections and
plugs for external leakage.
The table below indicates the maximum number of
bubbles in relation to the size and type of valve.

OPERATIONAL CHECK
CALL A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON FOR SERVICE.
1. Turn on main and pilot valve up stream of manual firing shut-off valves and check for leaks on unit
piping.
2. Check for leaking main and pilot valve seats by closing the manual firing valve and safety shut-off
valve. Connect one end of a hose to the pressure tap between the manual firing valve and safety
shut-off valve and submerge the other end in a cup of water. If bubbles appear, correct leak.
3. The pilot pressure is preset in the factory and should not require adjustment.
4. To start the blower, set the remote manual switches to the “on” position. Switch on the exhaust
system to make the exhaust interlock. The damper should begin opening. When fully open, the
damper blade will make an end switch that will start the blower. If the control system includes an
auto bypass low limit, for convenience, the low limit can be jumpered out during start-up and
adjustment of other controls. Remove the jumper when start-up is completed and check the low
limit and bypass function.
5. To start the heat, open the pilot manual firing valve and turn on the heat switch on the remote
panel. The pilot should attempt ignition. If an attempt at ignition is made and lockout occurs, reset
the flame relay and visually check a second time to confirm that there is a pilot flame. If there is
pilot flame for 8 seconds before flame ignition control lockout, a safety control in the flame sensing
circuit is likely the problem. For example a lockout will occur if the air pressure switches are not
made. Refer to separate trouble shooting guide for additional information. Also check spark rod
and flame rod to see if the ceramic is wet, cracked or dirty as any one of these things can cause
lockout. The gap on the spark rod is 3/32". If the unit has a Fireye M SERIES II flame ignition
control, a D.C. voltmeter micro ammeter is required to check the flame rod signal. A set of test
jacks is provided in the flame ignition control for this test. The signal should be at least 10 VDC. If
the signal is less than 10 VDC and a pilot flame is present, refer to the separate trouble shooting
guide.
6. After achieving a pilot that burns constantly while the blower is running, check the main gas valves
for operation while the main manual firing valve is CLOSED. Turn the heat switch off. The pilot will
then go out. Place a pressure gauge between the automatic valve(s) and the manual firing valve.
Switch on the burner. If the pilot comes on and proves properly, the main automatic valve should
open and the gauge should register pressure. The pressure gauge may read negative at reduced
inputs. If the main valve(s) do not open, check for a wiring error or a defective component.
7. Test for main flame ignition. With the main automatic valve open, manually open the firing valve
from closed to open. Main burner ignition should take place approximately one quarter of a turn
from closed to open.
8. The heater has been designed and built for the specific air volume, external static pressure (duct
pressure) and air temperature rise shown on the rating plate and in the submittal record. No
adjustment of the profile plate should be required.
IOM-26 24 of 33 Oct 12 R4
Page 25
A HE, DE & RE MANUAL
9. Do not adjust the main pressure regulator (appliance regulator). The firing rate has been factory
set and should not require any adjustment. The air temperature rise should be as listed on the
nameplate. If not, the air volume through the unit should be adjusted. This may be accomplished
by adjusting the blower speed, by balancing dampers, or both. The air temperature rise and unit
inlet gas pressure should be measured when the modulating valve is wide open.
The modulating valve can be made to stay wide open by turning the modulating temperature control
up to its maximum setting and removing its sensing element from the air stream and exposing it to
a cool temperature. If unit inlet gas pressure is less than minimum inlet pressure on the unit label,
the unit may not have enough heat on the coldest (design ambient) days. With proper airflow the
flame should be approximately 16" long and tipped with a reddish orange flame. If the flame is
much longer and mostly yellow, or it the flame is much shorter and florescent blue only, check the
separate trouble shooting guide for the necessary adjustments.
10. Confirm gas inlet pressure matches unit rating plate at high fire.
11. Perform a flame supervision check as follows: With the burner firing, close the main manual firing
valve and the pilot firing valve. The automatic valves should close within 4 seconds and the flame
ignition control should lock out within 10 to 15 seconds. To return to normal operation, reset the
flame safeguard and open the manual valves.
12. Check for leaks on unit piping with unit firing.
13. Check the low limit (optional) by adjusting the setting above the discharge set point until the unit
shuts down. The low limit will not shut the units down until the bypass timer contact has opened.
14. Return the low limit and temperature controller to their proper settings (see control settings).
15. The blower motor and particularly the belt, should be checked after the previous tests and
adjustments have been completed. The belts have a tendency to stretch during the first few weeks
of operation and may need to be adjusted. The amperage draw of the motor should be checked
with an ammeter and should not exceed the rated amperage stated on the motor rating plate.
Otherwise, the motor overload will lockout the motor.
If the installation has an exhaust fan, adjust the exhaust air to match the supply air within ± 10%.
CONTROL SETTINGS
The following settings of the adjustable controls are acceptable for most applications. Refer to unit function
and wiring diagram for settings specific to your unit.
Single and two stage ductstat: 55 – 70°F (13 – 21°C).
Single, two stage and modulating space thermostat: 68 – 74°F (20 –23°C).
Remote temperature selector: 60 – 70°F (16 – 21°C).

DEFLECTION
SPAN
BELT ADJUSTMENT
For maximum belt and bearing life, pulley alignment and belt tension must be properly maintained. Only
replace with belts of the proper type and size.
NOTE: If belts are too tight or improperly aligned, the life expectancy of the motor(s), fan bearings and
belt(s) are reduced.
Alignment: Pulleys must be aligned to within 1/16” per foot (1mm per 760mm) of span.
FOR FANS EQUIPPED WITH SPIDER BRACKETS:
A properly adjusted V-belt rides the inside of the pulley faces. Because the sides of the belt wedge in the
pulleys, the V-belt does not have to be extremely tight. It should be as loose as possible without slipping in
the pulley grooves.
Belt deflection: 3/4 “ (19mm) for each foot (300mm) of span between the pulleys.
FOR FANS EQUIPPED WITH PILLOW BLOCK BEARINGS:
Belt Deflection: Allow 1/64” (0.4mm) of deflection for each 1” (25.4 mm) of span length.
CAUTION: Excessive belt tension is the most frequent cause of belt wear, bearing wear and noise.
SET SCREWS
Check set screws on fan wheel, fan bearings, fan and motor pulleys for looseness on the shaft. Tighten
where required. IT IS IMPORTANT TO PERFORM THIS CHECK BEFORE INITIAL START-UP, AFTER A
RUN-IN PERIOD OF 2 WEEKS AND THEN ON 4 MONTH INTERVALS.
CAUTION: OVERTIGHTENING SET SCREWS CAN DAMAGE BEARINGS.

Static Oil Lubrication
Use only highest quality mineral oil with a minimum viscosity of 100 SSU at the oil’s operating temperature.
The oil’s operating temperature is approximately 10°F greater than the bearing’s housing. SAE values
having this viscosity at the following operating temperature are:
150° - SAE 20 160° - SAE 30 180° - SAE 40
Static oil level should be at the center of the lower-most roller (do not overfill).
Complete lubrication change should be made annually.

MOTOR LUBRICATION
Refer to motor manufacturer for lubrication recommendations.
On motors having grease drain plugs, remove the plugs and operate the motor for 15 minutes before
replacing plugs. DO NOT OVER GREASE.
RECOMMENDED MOTOR LUBRICATION INTERVALS
NOTE: Motors that run in severe conditions should be greased as specified by the motor manufacturer.
GAS MANIFOLD
It is recommended that at least once each year the safety devices should be checked. Follow operational
check at detailed in this manual.
The Safety Shut Off Valves must be tested on at least an annual basis or as per the manufacturer’s
recommendations which ever is less.
Regulators with vent terminals must have yearly cleaning of the screen.

BURNERS
It is recommended that the burner be inspected once each year.
Remove any scale that may have accumulated on the burner plates.
Ensure that the holes on the burner plates and gas orifices are
completely clear of foreign material. The first 2 orifices on the tee
casting as shown are #45, all others casting orifices are #42.
FILTERS
Filter-changing intervals can be based on the pressure drop across the filter or by calendar scheduling or
visual inspection. Scheduled intervals should be between one and six months, depending on the pollutant
loading from indoor and outdoor air. More-frequent changes may be required during the economizer
season.
Units that operate with high levels of outside air should have filters removed (or moved to winter
filter location if available) during the winter months in areas that have heavy frost or snow.
Plugged or excessively dirty filters can cause damage to the equipment. See submittal record for filter
quantities, sizes and types. Use same size and type for replacement.
A. High Velocity Permanent:
It is important that the filters be checked and cleaned regularly during the period immediately
following installation, in order to determine the best service interval. To clean, rinse with water.
Shake off excess water and re-install. These filters do not require an oil adhesive.
B. Pleated Throwaway and/or Replaceable Media (Cartridge, Bag):
Replacement filters can be obtained from any Engineered Air representative.
In some applications the used filters/media may contain chemical or biological hazards. All local, regional
and national regulations for safety and disposal should always be followed.
VFD ENCLOSURE
Filters may be located on the air inlet of VFD enclosures. Filter-changing intervals can be based on
calendar scheduling or visual inspection. Scheduled intervals should be between one and six months,
depending on the pollutant loading in the enclosure area.

Warning:
Dirty coils can be a cause of poor air quality. Failure to maintain clean coils
can cause injury or death, damage to the equipment, property damage or
system operational problems. Moisture carry over can result from dirty coils.
CONTROLS
Annually clean and recalibrate all controls, check for proper operation, and repair or replace any faulty
controls. Check all damper hardware settings every three months. Replace blown fuses with equivalent
size and type fuse. Failure to do so can result in damage to the unit.
CONTROL ENCLOSURE VENTILATION
Control enclosures are often ventilated in summer to provide component cooling. A manually adjustable
slide damper is provided for adjustment and seasonal shut off. The slide damper should be closed for
winter operation and opened for summer operation.
OUTDOOR AIR INTAKES, MIXING SECTIONS AND DAMPERS
Outdoor air intakes, screens, and adjacent areas shall be checked semi-annually for cleanliness, integrity
and proper operation. Adjust dampers where required.
COILS
Inspect coils and drain pans for cleanliness and biological growth once per year during the cooling season
or more often as required.
The external surface of finned coils can be cleaned using a low pressure water spray and a brush. Coil
fins are easily damaged. Do not use high pressure steam or water to clean coils; it will permanently
damage the coil. When using cleaning additives or solutions they must be compatible with the coil
materials or coatings. Use a fin comb to straighten any damaged or bent fins.
Coil Winterization:
Water coils that are not in use must be protected from freezing. Coils should be drained and blown out
with compressed air and then filled and drained several times with appropriate strength pre-mixed inhibited
HVAC glycol or other suitable fluid. Do not use propylene glycol with CPVC piping.
ULTRAVIOLET SCANNERS
The viewing area of the scanner must be kept clean. Even a small amount of contamination will reduce the
flame signal reaching the detector by a measurable amount. Wipe the viewing area routinely using a soft
cloth dampened with concentrated detergent.
For additional information refer to the uv scanner manufacturers’ literature.
