Receiving

This product may have been subject to road salt during transit. If so, immediately wash off all visible white reside from all exterior surfaces. Upon receiving the product, check to ensure all line items are accounted for by referencing the delivery receipt or packing list. Inspect each crate or carton for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Alert the carrier if any damage is detected, do not refuse shipment. The customer shall make notation of damage (or shortage of items) on the delivery receipt and all copies of the bill of lading which should be countersigned by the delivering carrier. If damaged, immediately contact your manufacturer’s representative. Any physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.

Handling

Units are to be rigged and moved by the lifting brackets provided. Location of brackets varies by model and size. Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching or chipping the coating. Damaged ﬁnish may reduce ability of unit to resist corrosion.

Unpacking

Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of each item have been received. If any items are missing, report shortages to your local representative to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped together due to availability of transportation and truck space. Conﬁrmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the bill of lading.

Storage

Units are protected against damage during shipment. If the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility of the unit and accessories while in storage. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user.

The ideal environment for the storage of units and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of blowing dust, rain, or snow. Units designed for outdoor applications may be stored outdoors. All accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.

Indoor

Maintain temperatures evenly to prevent condensation. Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid condensation, allow cold parts to reach room temperature. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.

The unit should be stored at least 3½ in. (89 mm) off the ﬂoor. Clearance should be provided to permit air circulation and space for inspection.

Outdoor

The unit should be placed on a level surface to prevent water from leaking into the unit. The unit should be elevated so that it is above water and snow levels. Ensure sufﬁcient support to prevent unit from settling into soft ground. Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation, sunlight, and space for periodic inspection. To minimize water accumulation, place all unit parts on blocking supports so that rain water will run off.

Do not cover parts with plastic ﬁlm or tarps as these cause condensation of moisture from the air passing through heating and cooling cycles.

Inspection and Maintenance

While in storage, inspect units once per month. Keep a record of inspection and maintenance performed.

If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the source should be located and eliminated. At each inspection, rotate the fan wheel by hand ten to ﬁfteen revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. If paint deterioration begins, consideration should be given to touch-up or repainting. Units with special coatings may require special techniques for touch-up or repair.

Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lint-free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with crocus cloth or ﬁne emery paper and oil. Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Wipe thoroughly clean with Tectyl® 506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent. For hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider using Tectyl® 511M Rust Preventive, WD-40® or the equivalent.

Removing from Storage

As units are removed from storage to be installed in their ﬁnal location, they should be protected and maintained in a similar fashion until the equipment goes into operation.

Prior to installing the unit and system components, inspect the unit assembly to make sure it is in working order.

1. Check all fasteners, set screws on the fan, wheel, bearings, drive, motor base, and accessories for tightness.

2. Rotate the fan wheel(s) by hand and assure no parts are rubbing.

Handling Concerns for Packaged DX or Air-Source Heat Pump

Units with PDX or ASHP have a system that is pressurized with refrigerant. If damage occurs, the refrigerant could leak into the atmosphere or cause bodily harm due to the extreme cold nature of expanding refrigerant. Use protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses to minimize or prevent injury in case of a system leak during installation.

Before Lifting

Before lifting, be sure that all shipping materials have been removed from the unit.

Vestibule

Determine whether or not the unit has a vestibule that must be ﬁeld-attached to the side of the unit. Vestibules are shipped assembled but detached from the unit. They have lifting lugs on them so they can also be lifted by crane, but the installed location of the unit may make it preferable to install the vestibule on the unit prior to lifting.

Field Power Access

Determine where high voltage and low voltage wiring is to be brought into the cabinet. If wiring is to be brought into the cabinet through the ﬂoor, see Alternate Supply Entry Locations in this manual. If unit is to be installed on a roof, cut access openings in the roof deck as needed.

Additional Clearances for Air Source Heat Pump

IMPORTANT

Air-source heat pumps are equipped with a defrost cycle to remove ice from the outdoor coil. During defrost cycles, melted water may drip from the bottom of the refrigeration section under the outdoor coil. In cold climates, proper drainage/heat tape must be installed under the outdoor coil to prevent the buildup of ice on the roof.

Air-source heat pump units require additional clearance because they must have unrestricted air movement around the outdoor coil and outdoor fans. Enough clearance must be provided to avoid recirculation or coil starvation. Air-source heat pump units should never be placed under an overhang or inside a building. A minimum of 48-inches above the outdoor fans is acceptable, but unobstructed is strongly recommended.

Piping Installation

Optional Coil Piping

Factory-installed cooling and heating components are mounted in the coil section of the unit. The coil section is downstream of the energy wheel on the supply air side of the unit. Note the coil connection locations on the picture. Coil connections are located external to the unit.

Note: DX coil liquid connection is internal to units.

Water Coils

1. Piping should be in accordance with accepted industry standards. Pipework should be supported independently of the coils. When installing couplings, do not apply undue stress to the connection extending through the unit. Use a backup pipe wrench to avoid breaking the weld between coil connection and header.

2. Connect the water supply to the bottom connection on the air leaving side and the water return to the top connection on the air entering side. Connecting the supply and/or return in any other manner will result in very poor performance. Be sure to replace factory-installed grommets around coil connections if removed for piping. Failure to replace grommets will result in water leakage into the unit and altered performance.

3. Water coils are not normally recommended for use with entering air temperatures below 40°F. No control system can be depended on to be 100% safe against freeze-up with water coils. Glycol solutions or brines are the only safe media for operation of water coils with low entering air conditions. If glycol or brine solutions are not used, coils must be drained when freezing conditions are expected. If required,

vent and drain connections must be fieldpiped, external to the unit.

4. Pipe sizes for the system must be selected on the basis of the head (pressure) available from the circulation pump. The velocity should not exceed 6 feet per second and the friction loss should be approximately 3 feet of water column per 100 feet of pipe.

5. For chilled water coils, the condensate drain pipe should be sized adequately to ensure the condensate drains properly. Refer to Drain Trap section.

Direct Expansion (DX) Coils (Split DX)

1. Piping should be in accordance with accepted industry standards. Pipework should be supported independently of the coils. Undue stress should not be applied at the connection to coil headers.

2. The condensate drain pipe should be sized adequately to ensure the condensate drains properly. Refer to Condensate Drain Trap section.

3. When connecting suction and liquid connections make sure the coil is free from all foreign material. Make sure all joints are tight and free of leakage. Be sure to replace factory-installed grommets around coil connections if removed for piping.

4. Manufacturer does not supply compressor, condensing units, or thermal expansion valve (TXV) with standard models. For further instruction on DX coil installation and operation contact your compressor and/or condenser manufacturer.

Condensate Drain Trap

This unit is equipped with a stainless steel condensate pan with a stainless steel connection. It is important that the drain connection be ﬁtted with a P trap to ensure proper drainage of condensate while maintaining internal static pressures and to prevent migration of sewer gas back into the unit.

A P trap assembly (kit) is supplied with each unit and is to be assembled and installed as local conditions require and according to the assembly instructions provided with the P trap. If local and area codes permit, the condensate may be drained back onto the roof, but a drip pad should be provided beneath the outlet. If local and area codes require a permanent drain line, it should be fabricated and installed in accordance with Best Practices and all codes.

In some climates, it will be necessary to provide freeze protection for the P trap and drain line. The P trap should be kept ﬁlled with water or glycol solution at all times and it should be protected from freezing to protect the P trap from damage. If severe weather conditions occur, it may be necessary to fabricate a Ptrap and drain line of metal and install a heat tape to prevent freezing.

Condensate Overﬂow Switch

This unit is equipped with an optional factory-mounted condensate overﬂow switch. In the event that a high level of condensate is detected, the microprocessor controller will trigger an alarm and shutdown the unit.

All wiring should be done in accordance with the latest edition of the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA70 and any local codes that may apply. In Canada, wiring should be done in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code.

IMPORTANT

The equipment must be properly grounded and bonded. Any wiring running through the unit in the airstream must be protected by metal conduit, metal clad cable or raceways.

CAUTION

If replacement wire is required, it must have a temperature rating of at least 105ºC, except for an energy cut-off or sensor lead wire which must be rated to 150ºC.

DANGER

High voltage electrical input is needed for this equipment. This work should be performed by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION

Any wiring deviations may result in personal injury or property damage. Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage to, or failure of the unit caused by incorrect final wiring.

Determine the Size of the Main Power Lines

The unit’s nameplate states the voltage and the unit’s MCA. The main power lines to the unit should be sized accordingly. The nameplate is located on the outside of the unit on the control panel side.

Determine the Size of Electric Heater Wiring

An optional electric heater may require a separate power supply. The power connection should be made to the factory-provided electric heater disconnect and must be compatible with the ratings on the nameplate, supply power voltage, phase and amperage. Consult ANSI/NFPA 70 and CSA C22.1 for proper conductor sizing.

Provide the Opening(s) for the Electrical Connections

Electrical openings vary by unit size and arrangement and are ﬁeld-supplied.

Connect the Power Supplies

Connect the main power lines and electric heater power lines to the disconnect switches or terminal blocks and main grounding lug(s). Torque ﬁeld connections to manufacturer’s recommendations.

Wire the Optional Convenience Outlet

The convenience outlet requires a separate 115V power supply circuit. The circuit must include short circuit protection which may need to be supplied by others.

Connect Field-Wired Low Voltage Components

Most factory-supplied electrical components are prewired. To determine what electrical accessories require additional ﬁeld-wiring, refer to the unit-speciﬁc wiring diagram located on the inside of the control center access door.

The low voltage control circuit is 24 VAC and control wiring should not exceed 0.75 ohms.

Control wires should not be run inside the same conduit as that carrying the supply power. Make sure that ﬁeld-supplied conduit does not interfere with access panel operation. All low voltage wiring should be run in conduit wherever it may be exposed to the weather.

If wire resistance exceeds 0.75 ohms, an industrialstyle, plug-in relay should be added to the unit control center and wired in place of the remote switch (typically between terminal blocks R and G on the terminal strip. The relay must be rated for at least 5 amps and have a 24 VAC coil. Failure to comply with these guidelines may cause motor starters to “chatter” or not pull in which can cause contactor failures and/or motor failures.

Field-Provided Disconnect

If ﬁeld-installing an additional disconnect switch, it is recommended that there is at least four feet of service room between the switch and system access panels. When providing or replacing fuses in a fusible disconnect, use dual element time delay fuses and size according to the rating plate.

Component Operation

Optional Component Operation

Phase Monitor

The unit control circuitry includes a phase monitor that constantly checks for phase reversal, phase imbalance, loss of phase or a power brownout. When it detects a fault, it cuts off the 24 VAC that goes to the low voltage terminal strip, thereby shutting off all motors.

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

If a VFD was provided and installed at the factory, it has been pre-set to control the speed of the blower motor for optimum performance. The motor speed needs to be veriﬁed during test and balance of the unit.

If the system was conﬁgured for Constant Air Volume (CAV), the VFD will operate in an ON/OFF fashion and the speed of the motor will not change. If the system was conﬁgured for Variable Air Volume (VAV), the microprocessor will constantly monitor operating conditions and provide a signal to the VFD, changing the VFD output as needed.

The VFD may alternatively be connected to an external signal such as provided by a BMS and be operated by a 0-10 VDC input.

Supply Fan VFD Sequence

Optional Room CO2 Sensor: The microprocessor will modulate the supply fan based on a comparison of the CO2 set point to the actual CO2 levels reported from the sensor. Mechanical high static protection cutoffs must be installed by others to protect the system and equipment from over-pressurization.

Optional Duct Static Pressure Sensor: The microprocessor will modulate the supply fan based on a comparison of the duct static pressure set point to the actual duct static pressure level reported from the sensor. Mechanical high static protection cutoffs must be installed by others to protect the system and equipment from over-pressurization. The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for this.

Optional Building Static Pressure Sensor: The supply fan is modulated based upon the signal from a building static pressure sensor. The microprocessor will modulate the supply fan based on a comparison of the building static pressure set point to the actual building static pressure level reported from the sensor.

Optional Single Zone VAV: The microprocessor will use a space mounted temp sensor to vary heating and cooling capacity and the airﬂow delivered by the fan to maintain room-air temp at a desired set point.

Optional 0-10 VDC by others to VFD: Supply fan is modulated by a 0-10 VDC, ﬁeld-provided by others.

Exhaust Fan VFD Sequence

Optional Building Static Pressure Sensor: The exhaust fan is modulated based upon the signal from a building static pressure sensor. The microprocessor will modulate the exhaust fan based upon a comparison of the building static pressure level reported from the sensor.

Optional Outdoor Air Damper Tracking: The microprocessor will proportionally modulate the exhaust fan based upon the outdoor air damper position.

Optional Supply Tracking: The microprocessor will proportionally modulate the exhaust fan based upon the supply fan.

Optional 0-10 VDC by Others to VFD: The supply fan is modulated by a 0-10 VDC provided by others in the ﬁeld.

Outdoor Air and Recirculated (Recirc) Air Damper Sequence

Optional Room CO2 Sensor: The microprocessor will proportionally modulate the OA/RA dampers based upon a comparison of the CO2 set point to the actual CO2 level reported from the sensor. As the CO2 level rises, the controller will proportionally modulate the outdoor air damper open, between the minimum and maximum OA position.

Optional Building Pressure: The OA/RA dampers will modulate based upon the signal from a building static pressure sensor. The controller will modulate the dampers, between the minimum and maximum OA positions, based upon a comparison of the building static pressure set point to the actual building static pressure level reported from the sensor.

Exhaust Fan Only Power

The exhaust fan will have a dedicated power circuit where in the case of a power outage, the exhaust fan will still run. A phase monitor will detect an outage or power loss and open the contact, disconnecting all power to the unit and controller. An external signal will need to be sent to a relay to power the exhaust fan, enabling the fan to run at a maximum speed. This sequence is NOT to be used for high temperature exhaust applications.

Service Lights

Service lights provide light to each of the compartments in the energy recovery unit. The lights are wired to a junction box mounted on the outside of the unit. The switch to turn the lights on is located in the unit control center. The switch requires a separate power source to allow for power to the lights when the unit main disconnect is off for servicing.

Optional Component Operation

Electronically Commutated (EC) Condenser Fans with Standard Scroll or Digital Scroll Compressors

The EC condenser fan(s) will modulate up and down to maintain the optimal liquid line pressure using built in control sequences within the factory controller. One pressure transducer is provided with each refrigeration circuit for monitoring and the factory controller will ramp condenser fan(s) up or down based on the condenser set point.

Economizer Fault Detection Diagnostics

Provides the status and faults of the air economizer to indicate proper economizer sequence operation. This assures the beneﬁts of free cooling when outdoor conditions are suitable for economizer functions. The fault detection diagnostics system will indicate when free cooling is available and if the outside air damper and recirculation damper are reacting properly. If the dampers are not functioning correctly an alarm will be generated.

Air-Source Heat Pump

Operating Conditions and Limitations

To operate in Cooling mode, the following conditions must be true:

1. Supply air temperature above minimum low supply temperature limit (35°F)

2. Outside air temperature above the cooling ambient lockout (55°F, adj.)

To operate in Heating mode, the following conditions must be true:

1. Supply air temperature below maximum high supply temperature limit (120°F)

2. Supply air temperature above 35°F

3. Outside air temperature above the low ambient lockout (10°F, adj.)

For more information on air-source heat pump operation, reference the supplemental Reference Guide

for Microprocessor Controller.

IMPORTANT

Melted water from snow accumulation on the unit roof can be sucked into outdoor fans, resulting in ice formation on fan blades under certain conditions. Remove snow accumulation from the unit roof and outdoor coil section after snow storms.

Airﬂow Monitor

IMPORTANT

For the outdoor airflow monitoring device to perform as intended, field calibration is required. Calibration of the airflow monitoring device requires an independent measurement of airflow and should be performed when the system undergoes test and balance.

A factory-wired, mounted, and powered airﬂow monitoring system is provided in the outdoor, supply, and/or exhaust air streams. The airﬂow control system displays outdoor, supply, and/or exhaust air in actual cubic feet per minute (CFM) at factory controller or can be read by a building management system if communication is established.

Operation

Outdoor airﬂow monitoring is accomplished using two thermal dispersion sensors that accurately measure airﬂow velocity down to zero feet per minute (fpm). The airﬂow controller takes the average measurement for two sensor conﬁgurations, and determines the outdoor airﬂow rate based on the effective intake area. Field calibration of the outdoor airﬂow monitoring device determines the effective intake area of the unit. For additional information on how to navigate through the outdoor airﬂow controller menus, refer to technical manuals from GreenTrol® Automation Inc. at www. greentrol.com.

Supply and/or exhaust airﬂow monitoring is accomplished by measuring the pressure drop across the fan inlet venture. The airﬂow is then calculated by the factory controller based on the measured pressure drop and a K-Factor speciﬁc for each fan size.

Hot Gas Reheat Valve

Units equipped with a reheat coil use a three-way valve with actuator to control the supply air discharge temperature of the unit during dehumidiﬁcation mode. The unit controller provides a 0-10VDC signal to control the amount of reheat to meet the supply temperature set point.

Controls by Others

The reheat coil needs to be purged to ensure adequate oil return. It is recommended that every six hours of reheat compressor run time should initiate a six minute purge cycle. During the purge cycle, the reheat valve should be modulated to 100% open to the reheat coil.

Dedicated Outdoor Air Unit 17

Page 18

Optional Component Operation

VFD Compressor

If the VFD compressor option is included, the compressor VFD is mounted in the end of the condensing section. Condensing section internal components are accessible via the access panel on the side of the condenser coil.

Envelope Control

The unit controller tracks the operating point of the VFD compressor within the operating envelope at all times. If the operating point is out of the envelope, the controller will take action to bring it back in. If unsuccessful, the controller will shut down the compressor. DO NOT operate the compressor VFD in hand mode because the envelope control safeties will not be in place. Refer to the controls IOM for more information on envelope control.

Electronic Expansion Valve

An electronic expansion valve is provided on the VFD compressor circuit to ensure tight superheat control throughout the compressor modulation band. The EXV acts as a liquid line solenoid valve when the compressor is off to prevent refrigerant migration.

Crankcase Heat

The VFD compressor will be heated by the compressor stator. To ensure optimal performance and reliability, do not disable stator heat. All other compressors will be provided with a crankcase heater.

Oil Return Management

The compressor VFD has an oil return purge cycle such that if the compressor has been operating below a set RPM for a set period of time, the VFD will accelerate the compressor to ensure sufﬁcient lubrication.

DO NOT disable the oil return management function.

DO NOT operate the compressor VFD in hand mode because the oil return management will not be operational.

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI)

UV-C lights are mounted in the supply blower cabinet and provide air disinfection. The lights are factorypowered and are on when the supply blower is running. A kill switch on the supply blower access door turns the lights off when that door is open.

Housing 110/180 Only

UV-C lights are mounted downstream of the cooling coil, providing coil surface and drain pan disinfection. The lights are factory-powered and are on when there is power to the unit disconnect. A kill switch on the coil access door turns the lights off when that door is open.

Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization (NPBI®)

Needlepoint bipolar ionizers are mounted on the fan inlet cone(s) and provide air disinfection. The ionizers are factory-powered and are on when there is power to the unit disconnect.

Frost Control

Extremely cold outdoor air temperatures can cause moisture condensation and frosting on the energy recovery wheel. Frost control is an optional feature that will prevent/control wheel frosting. Three options are available:

Polymer Energy Wheel

Available options are:

1. Timed exhaust frost control

2. Electric preheat frost control

3. Modulating wheel frost control

These options are provided with a thermodisc mounted in the outdoor air intake compartment and a pressure sensor to monitor pressure drop across the energy wheel. An outdoor air temperature of below 5°F and an increase in pressure drop indicate that frost is occurring. Both the pressure sensor and the outdoor air thermodisc must trigger to initiate frost control. The two sensors together ensure that frost control is only initiated during a real frost condition.

Timed exhaust frost control includes a timer in addition to the thermodisc and wheel pressure sensor. When frost control is initiated, the timer will turn the supply blower off. The default timer setting will shut down the supply fan for 5 minutes every 30 minutes, allowing warm exhaust to defrost the energy wheel. Use the test procedure in the Optional Start-Up Accessories section for troubleshooting.

Electric preheat frost control includes an electric heater (at outdoor air intake) in addition to the thermodisc and wheel pressure sensor. When frost control is initiated, the electric preheater will turn on and warm the air entering the energy wheel. Use the test procedure in the Optional Start-Up Accessories section for troubleshooting.

Modulating wheel frost control includes a variable frequency drive (VFD) in addition to the thermodisc and wheel pressure sensor. When frost control is initiated, the VFD will reduce the wheel speed, reducing effectiveness and preventing condensation and frosting. If the outdoor air temperature is greater than the frost threshold temperature OR the pressure differential is less than the set point, the wheel will run at full speed. If the outdoor air temperature is less than 5°F AND the pressure differential is greater than the set point, the wheel will run at reduced speed until the pressure differential falls below the set point. The VFD will be fully programmed at the factory.

Aluminum Energy Wheel

Available options are:

1. Modulating wheel frost control

2. Modulating wheel with electric preheat frost control

These options are provided with a temperature sensor mounted in the exhaust air discharge compartment. Frost control will initiate when the exhaust air temperature is below 36°F.

Modulating wheel frost control includes a variable frequency drive (VFD) in addition to the exhaust air temperature sensor. When frost control is initiated, the VFD will modulate the wheel speed to maintain 36°F exhaust air temperature. The VFD will be fully programmed at the factory.

Modulating wheel with electric preheat frost control includes a variable frequency drive (VFD) and electric heater (at outdoor air intake) in addition to the exhaust air temperature sensor. When frost control is initiated, the VFD will modulate the wheel speed to maintain 36°F exhaust air temperature. The electric heater will turn on when the outdoor air temperature is below 10°F. The VFD will be fully programmed at the factory.

Rotation Sensor

The rotation sensor monitors energy wheel rotation. If the wheel should stop rotating, the sensor will close a set of contacts in the unit control center. Field-wiring of a light (or other alarm) between terminals R and 12 in the unit control center will notify maintenance personnel when a failure has occurred.

Microprocessor Control

The microprocessor controller is speciﬁcally designed and programmed to optimize the performance of the unit with supplemental heating and cooling. This option ensures that the outdoor air is conditioned to the desired discharge conditions. The controller and accompanying sensors are factory-mounted, wired and programmed. Default settings are pre-programmed, but are easily ﬁeld-adjustable.

The microprocessor controller can be interfaced with a Building Management System through LonWorks®, BACnet®, or ModBus.

Please refer to the Installation, Operation and Maintenance manual for detailed information.

Unoccupied Recirculation Damper

The unoccupied recirculation option provides a recirculation damper from the return air intake to the supply airstream. If equipped with a room temperature and/or relative humidity sensor, the unit can cycle on to maintain unoccupied room set points if there is a call for unoccupied heating, cooling, or dehumidiﬁcation. During the unoccupied mode, the supply and exhaust (if equipped) fans will be off unless there is a call for cooling, heating, or dehumidiﬁcation in the space.

Dirty Filter Sensor

Dirty ﬁlter sensors monitor pressure drop across the outdoor air ﬁlters, exhaust air ﬁlters, or both. If the pressure drop across the ﬁlters exceeds the set point, the sensor will close a set of contacts in the unit control center. Field-wiring of a light (or other alarm) to these contacts will notify maintenance personnel when ﬁlters need to be replaced. The switch has not been set at the factory due to external system losses that will affect the switch. This switch will need minor ﬁeld adjustments after the unit has been installed with all ductwork complete. The dirty ﬁlter switch is mounted in the exhaust inlet compartment next to the unit control center or in unit control center.

Fan

The fan should be checked for free rotation. If any binding occurs, check for concealed damage and foreign objects in the fan housing.

CAUTION

When operating conditions of the fan are to be changed (speed, pressure, temperature, etc.), consult manufacturer to determine if the unit can operate safely at the new conditions.

Supply Fan (Plenum Type)

The unit contains one or two plenum supply fans located on the end of the unit opposite the outdoor air intake and may optionally have a relief air blower which is referred to as an exhaust blower in this document. Efﬁcient fan performance can be maintained by having the correct offset.

Offset: Proper offset, or overlap, is adjusted by loosening the wheel hub from the shaft and moving the wheel to the desired position along the shaft. The transition between the inlet cone

and the wheel should

be as shown; there is a smooth feel to the proﬁle when moving one component to the other.

Supply/Exhaust Fan

The optional exhaust fan is a direct-drive plenum type. Fan speed is controlled by a VFD which, in turn, is controlled by the microprocessor controller or by an external signal. Motor speed will be set on the VFD during the unit Test and Balance, but after that, the VFD will not normally be changed. Always check the motor amperage rating shown on the motor nameplate when changing the fan RPM. All access doors must be installed except the control center door.

including structural and/or component failure. The most common sources of vibration are listed.

Many of these conditions can be discovered by careful observation. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual for corrective actions. If observation cannot locate the source of vibration, a qualiﬁed technician using vibration analysis equipment should be consulted.

Generally, fan vibration and noise is transmitted to other parts of the building by the ductwork. To eliminate this undesirable effect, the use of ﬂexible connectors is recommended.

Excessive vibration may be experienced during initial start-up. Left unchecked, excessive vibration can cause a multitude of problems,

Fan Wheel Rotation Direction

Check for proper wheel rotation by momentarily energizing the fan. Rotation is determined by viewing the wheel from the drive side and should match the rotation decal afﬁxed to the fan housing.

If the wheel is rotating the wrong way, direction can be reversed by interchanging any two of the three electrical leads. Check for unusual noise, vibration or overheating of the bearings. Refer to the Troubleshooting portion of this manual if a problem develops.

Discharge Air Temperature Sensor

Units are supplied with a Discharge Air Temperature Sensor that is to be ﬁeld-installed prior to unit startup. The sensor is to be installed at least three duct diameters downstream of the heat exchanger. The sensor must be connected directly to the microprocessor controller. All other sensors and low voltage devices are to be connected to the low voltage terminal strip in the control center. The discharge air sensor is shipped loose and can be found in the unit’s control center. See the unit-speciﬁc wiring diagram for connection locations.

Inspect the drive belt. Make sure the belt rides smoothly in the pulley and around the outside of the wheel. Note the directional arrow and data information shown in the image.

Adjust the Air Seals (Polymer wheels only)

The information below only applies to polymer wheels, which require air seal adjustment at the time of start-up for proper performance. Aluminum wheel air seals are factory-set and do not require ﬁeld adjustment.

Make sure the unit power supply is locked out. Disconnect the wiring to the wheel module and pull the wheel cassette out of the cabinet on its tracks. Large cassettes are not removable. Then slowly rotate the wheel by hand to make sure there is no binding or misalignment.

There is a perimeter seal located around the outside of the wheel and a diameter seal across the face of the wheel on both sides. Check to make sure that all air seals are secure and in good condition.

Adjust the air seals by loosening all the air seal retaining screws on the bearing support. Using a piece of paper as a feeler gauge, adjust the seals so they almost touch the face of the wheel while tugging slightly on the paper. When the wheel is rotated, there should be a slight tug on the paper. Tighten the screws, repeat the steps on the other set of seals.

Push the wheel cassette back into the unit and plug in the power connector. Turn the main power supply back on and then observe the operation of the wheel by opening the wheel access door slightly. Remove ﬁlters if necessary to observe the wheel.

Sequence of Operation

Optional Economizer - The economizer will be locked out when: the outside air is below economizer lockout; the unit is operating in dehumidiﬁcation mode; or there is a call for heating.

• Stop Wheel: When economizer mode is enabled and there is a signal for cooling, the wheel will stop rotating to allow free cooling.

• Modulate Wheel: When economizer mode is enabled and there is a signal for cooling, the wheel VFD modulates wheel speed to maintain the discharge temperature set point.

Optional Frost Control - Polymer Wheel The microprocessor controller will output a signal when wheel frosting is occurring which is determined by a temperature set point (OA <5°F – 2°F hysteresis, adjustable) and wheel pressure drop increase.

• Preheat: When frosting is occurring, the preheater is energized to defrost the wheel. Once the pressure drop decreases below the set point, the preheater is de-energized.

• Timed Exhaust: When frosting is occurring, the supply blower is cycled off. The exhaust blower shall continue to run, allowing the warm exhaust air to defrost the wheel. After the 5 minute cycle, the supply fan is re-energized to continue normal operation.

• Modulating Wheel: When frosting is occuring, the wheel VFD will reduce wheel speed to prevent condensation and frosting. If the outdoor air temperature is greater than the frost threshold temperature OR the pressure differential is less than the set point, the wheel will run at full speed. If the outdoor air temperature is less than the frost threshold temperature AND the pressure differential is greater than the set point, the wheel will run at reduced speed until the pressure differential falls below the set point. The temperature and pressure differential set points are set at the factory, but are ﬁeld-adjustable. The VFD will be fully programmed at the factory.

Maintenance

WARNING

Whenever performing maintenance or inspections, always disconnect the power source.

Inspection

The wheel should be inspected semiannually in accordance with the maintenance schedule. Maintenance of the wheel consists mainly of inspecting the wheel for cleanliness and then checking the drive motor, belt, and pulley for wear. If the wheel appears dirty, the wheel should be disassembled and cleaned.

The wheel rotates through two airstreams moving in opposite directions, which means the wheel is self-cleaning, up to a point. If the

Energy Wheel

Cassette

wheel media becomes blocked by dirt or dust, or if the media collects a layer of smoke residue or an oily ﬁlm, the energy transfer efﬁciency drops.

The main factor in the frequency of cleaning is the cleanliness of the air. If air ﬁlters are not changed frequently, the wheel will collect contaminants and will then have to be cleaned.

Wheel Disassembly

Wheels are part of a cassette that may be pulled from the unit for easy access. There may be a small damper assembly or other component that blocks removal of the cassette. Before sliding out the cassette or any other component, disconnect any power supply cord and secure it so it cannot jam or otherwise get damaged.

Each wheel has removable segments that hold the coated layers of media and each segment is held in place with two retaining clips located on the outer rim of the wheel. When removing more than one segment, remove them in sequence from opposite sides of the wheel (180 degrees apart) to reduce the imbalance. Secure the wheel against rotation. Carefully release the two retaining clips and swing them fully open. The segment can now be removed by pushing the face of the segment close to the outer rim of the wheel. Wheel segments are built to close tolerances and the segment may have to be jiggled to remove it. Do not use a hammer or otherwise force the segment because these are high value items and are not built to withstand abuse.

Segment Retaining Clip

Whenever retaining clips are opened, they should be closed as soon as possible. If the wheel should rotate when a clip is open, the clip will jam against the bearing support bar and could cause damage.

Cleaning

Maintenance or cleaning of the wheel segments should be done with the segments removed from the wheel cassette to avoid splashing liquids or cleaning agents inside the cabinet. If the energy wheel appears excessively dirty, it should be cleaned to ensure maximum operating efﬁciency. Only excessive buildup of foreign materials needs to be removed.

DISCOLORATION AND STAINING OF ENERGY RECOVERY WHEEL DOES NOT AFFECT ITS PERFORMANCE.

Thoroughly spray the wheel matrix with a household cleaner such as Fantastik™ or the equivalent. Gently rinse with warm water and use a soft brush to remove any heavy accumulations. A detergent/water solution can also be used. Avoid aggressive organic solvents, such as acetone. Wheel segments can be soaked in the above solution overnight for removal of stubborn dirt or accumulations.

After cleaning is complete, shake excess water from the wheel or segments. Dry the wheel or segments before putting them back into the cassette.

Reassembly

When reinstalling the segments, be sure to install them with the correct face toward the motor side of the cassette. Note that one face of each segment is smooth and the other face has a reinforcing channel or support cut into the surface.

Wheel Belt

Inspect belts each time ﬁlters are replaced. Belts that look chewed up or are leaving belt dust near the motor pulley may indicate a problem with the wheel. Be sure to inspect wheel for smooth and unrestricted rotation. If a belt requires replacement, contact the local manufacturer representative. Instructions for replacement will ship with the new belt.

Wheel Bearing

In the unlikely event that a wheel bearing fails, the bearing is behind a removable plate on the wheel support beam (slide cassette halfway out of cabinet to access). Contact the local manufacturer's representative for detailed instructions on how to replace the bearing.

Optional Aluminum Energy Wheel

Start-Up

Optional Frost Control

The microprocessor controller will output a signal when wheel frosting is occurring which is determined by a temperature set point (EA < 36°F, adjustable).

• Modulating wheel frost control: When frosting is occurring, the wheel VFD will modulate the wheel speed to maintain 36°F exhaust air temperature. The VFD will be fully programmed at the factory.

• Modulating wheel with electric preheat frost control: When frosting is occurring, the wheel VFD will modulate the wheel speed to maintain 36°F exhaust air temperature. The electric preheater will energize when the outdoor air temperature is below 10°F. The VFD will be fully programmed at the factory.

Cleaning

Accumulation of dust or particles on the surface of the wheel can typically be vacuumed, purged with compressed air, or wiped from the surface. In cases when a more thorough cleaning is required, use the following procedure.

Liberally spray 409 cleaner onto a small section of the dirty side of the energy wheel, letting it foam to soften debris and residue. Blow approximately 90 psi of compressed air and from the opposite side of the wheel, catching the blown-off material on pre-placed drop cloths. Lightly sweep a soft sash paint brush across the face of the wheel to remove any leftover residue. A SLIGHT CLEANER SMELL MAY BE PRESENT FOR A SHORT TIME AFTER THE UNIT IS TURNED BACK ON. THIS SMELL WILL DISSIPATE QUICKLY.

Routine Maintenance

DANGER

Electric shock hazard. Can cause injury or death. Before attempting to perform any service or maintenance, turn the electrical power to the unit to OFF at disconnect switch(es). Unit may have multiple power supplies.

CAUTION

This unit requires minimal maintenance to operate properly. Maintenance requirements for this model vary for each installation and depend greatly on how much the system is used and the cleanliness of the air. Proper maintenance will both increase the life of the system and maintain its efﬁciency. Maintenance must be performed by experienced technicians and in the case of refrigeration systems, must be done by an EPA certiﬁed technician.

Maintenance frequency is based on a presumed nominal use of the system. If the system is being run constantly, the frequency should be adjusted accordingly. If there is seasonal debris in the air which can be drawn into the ﬁlters and the coils, they should be checked more frequently. If the system is being used for only a few hours per day, the frequency may be reduced. Use the maintenance log at the end of this manual to record each maintenance session and observations and then establish a maintenance schedule that is appropriate for the installation. The following is provided as a guideline.

Annually

It is recommended that the annual inspection and maintenance occur at the start of the cooling season. After completing the checklist, follow the unit start-up checklist provided in the manual to ensure the refrigeration system operates in the intended matter.

1. Lubrication Apply lubricant where required

2. Dampers Check for unobstructed operation

3. Blower Wheel and Fasteners Check for cleanliness

Check all fasteners for tightness Check for fatigue, corrosion, wear

4. Door Seal Check if intact and pliable

5. Wiring Connections Check all connections for tightness

6. Cabinet Check entire cabinet, inside and out, for dirt

buildup or corrosion. Remove accumulated dirt, remove any surface corrosion and coat the area with appropriate ﬁnish.

Maintenance Frequency:

Monthly

1. External Filter Clean metal mesh ﬁlters

2. Internal Filters Replace MERV 8 ﬁlters monthly.

Adjust replacement schedule for MERV 13 and MERV 14 or other ﬁlters as inspection requires.

Semiannually

1. Check motor and motor bearings Check for excessive heat, vibration or noise.

Lubricate bearings in accordance with the motor manufacturer’s recommendations.

2. Condensate Drain (if applicable) Inspect and clean – reﬁll with water

3. Heat Transfer Coils (if applicable) Inspect for cleanliness – clean as required

4. Outdoor Fan Blades and Motor (if applicable) Check for cleanliness

Check all fasteners for tightness Check for fatigue, corrosion, wear

Routine Maintenance

Maintenance Procedures:

Lubrication - Check all moving components for

proper lubrication. Apply lubricant where required. Any components showing excessive wear should be replaced to maintain the integrity of the unit and ensure proper operation.

Dampers - Check all dampers to ensure they open and

close properly and without binding. Backdraft dampers can be checked by hand to determine if blades open and close freely. Apply power to motorized dampers to ensure the actuator opens and closes the damper as designed.

Gas Furnace - Maintain furnace in accordance with

instructions in the Indirect Gas-Fired Heat IOM shipped with this unit.

Fan Motors - Motor maintenance is generally limited

to cleaning and lubrication. Cleaning should be limited to exterior surfaces only. Removing dust and grease buildup on the motor housing assists proper cooling. Never wash-down the motor with high pressure spray. Greasing of motors is only intended when ﬁttings are provided. Fan motors typically have two grease ﬁttings. Each motor manufacturer has different lubrication schedules for different models. Go to the motor manufacturer’s website and download their maintenance requirements. Do not over-lubricate motors or use an incompatible grease. Many fractional motors are permanently lubricated for life and require no further lubrication.

Fan Wheel and Fasteners - Wheels require very little

attention when moving clean air. Occasionally oil and dust may accumulate on the wheel causing imbalance. When this occurs, the wheel and housing should be cleaned to assure smooth and safe operation. Inspect fan impeller and housing for fatigue, corrosion, or wear.

Routinely check all fasteners, set screws and locking collars on the fan, bearings, drive, motor base and accessories for tightness. A proper maintenance program will help preserve the performance and reliability designed into the fan.

Coil Maintenance - Coils must be cleaned to maintain

maximum performance. Check coils once per year under normal operating conditions and if dirty, brush or vacuum clean. Soiled ﬁns reduce the capacity of the coil, demand more energy from the fan and create an environment for odor and bacteria to grow and spread through the conditioned zone. High pressure water (700 psi or less) may be used to clean coils with a ﬁn thickness over 0.0095 inches thick. TEST THE SPRAY PRESSURE over a small corner of the coil to determine if the ﬁns will withstand the spray pressure.

For coils with fragile ﬁns or high ﬁn density, foaming chemical sprays and washes are available. Many coil cleaners use harsh chemicals, so they must be used with caution by qualiﬁed personnel only. Care must be taken not to damage the coils, including the ﬁns, while cleaning. Caution: Fin edges are sharp!

WARNING

REFER TO GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not operate this unit without the ﬁlters and birdscreen installed. They prevent the entry of foreign objects such as leaves, birds, etc.

Do not remove access panels or other unit components while standing on a ladder or other unsteady base. Access panels and unit components are heavy and serious injury may occur.

Internal Filter Maintenance - The unit will typically be

provided with 2-inch thick pleated paper ﬁlters in the airstream. These ﬁlters should be checked according to a routine maintenance schedule and replaced as necessary to ensure proper airﬂow through the unit. Replacement ﬁlters shall be of same performance and quality as factory installed ﬁlters. Filter must be pleated design with integral metal grid. Two acceptable ﬁlter replacements are Aerostat Series400 or Farr 30/30®.

Filters upstream of the coil should be checked regularly. If the ﬁlters are dirty, they should be cleaned or replaced. It is important the ﬁlters stay clean to maintain desired airﬂow.

External Filter Maintenance - Aluminum mesh, 2-inch

thick ﬁlters are located in the supply weatherhood (if the weatherhood option was purchased). These ﬁlters should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis for best efﬁciency. The frequency of cleaning depends upon the cleanliness of the incoming air. These ﬁlters should be cleaned by rinsing with a mild detergent in warm water prior to start-up.

WARNING

Biological hazard. May cause disease. Cleaning should be performed by qualiﬁed personnel.

Drain pans in any air conditioning unit will have some moisture in them, therefore, algae and other organisms will grow due to airborne spores and bacteria. Periodic cleaning is necessary to prevent this buildup from plugging the drain and causing the drain pan to overﬂow. Inspect twice a year to avoid the possibility of overﬂow. Also, drain pans should be kept clean to prevent the spread of disease. Cleaning should be performed by qualiﬁed personnel.
