Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Disconnect all electric
power supplies, verify with a voltmeter that electric power is off
and wear protective equipment per NFPA 70E before working
within electric control enclosure. Failure to comply can cause
serious injury or death.
Customer must provide earth ground to unit, per NEC, CEC and
local codes, as applicable.
Before proceeding with installation, read all instructions,
verifying that all the parts are included and check the nameplate
to be sure the voltage matches available utility power.
The line side of the disconnect switch contains live high-voltage.
The only way to ensure that there is NO voltage inside the unit
is to install and open a remote disconnect switch and verify that
power is off with a volt meter. Refer to unit electrical schematic.
Follow all local codes.
CAUTIONCAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Whenever electrical wiring is connected, disconnected or
changed, the power supply to the DOAS and its controls must
be disconnected. Lock and tag the disconnect switch or circuit
breaker to prevent accidental reconnection of electric power.
CAUTION
RISK OF CONTACT WITH HOT SURFACES
The blower motor and other electrical components are extremely
hot during operation. Allow sufficient time for them to cool
before working within the unit cabinet. Use extreme caution and
wear protective gloves and arm protection when working on or
near hot blower motors and electrical components.
CAUTION
RISK OF CONTACT WITH HIGH SPEED MOVING PARTS.
Disconnect all local and remote power supplies, verify with
a voltmeter that electric power is off and all fan blades have
stopped rotating before working on the unit.
Do not operate this unit with any cabinet panels removed or
prior to assembly of the modules
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Optional VFDs use capacitors that will retain a high voltage
charge even after power is disconnected. After fans come to
a complete stop, wait for five minutes for the capacitors to
discharge themselves.
CAUTIONCAUTION
RISK OF DAMAGE TO ENTHALPIC CORES
Whenever working within the DOAS cabinet, protect the
enthalpic cores from accidental damage. The core media is
subject to damage from dropped tools or other foreign objects.
IMPORTANT
This unit is intended for general ventilating only. Do not use to
exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors. Do not
connect this equipment to range hoods, fume hoods or collection
systems for toxics.
IMPORTANT
This unit is for ventilating finished structures only. It is not to
be used until after all construction has been completed and
construction debris and dust are cleaned from the Occupied
Space.
RISK OF DAMAGE TO ENTHALPIC CORES
Low air flow can cause fouling of the enthalpic cores. The
DOAS must never be operated without clean filters in place and
minimum airflow must be greater than 250 CFM per full-sized
core.
IMPORTANT
Do not release refrigerant into the atmosphere! If required
service procedures include the adding or removal of refrigerant,
the service technician must comply with all federal, state and
local laws. The procedures discussed in this manual should only
be performed by a qualified, EPA Certified technician.
IMPORTANT
This equipment is to be installed by following Industry Best
Practices and all applicable codes. Any damage to components,
assemblies, subassemblies or the cabinet which is caused by
improper installation practices will void the warranty.

OVERVIEW
NOTE: This unit is a
Dedicated Outdoor Air
System, or DOAS. It is
commonly referred to
throughout this manual as a
DOAS. This manual is specifically for the indoor version,
as indicated by digits 7 & 8
of the configuration code,
“IN”.
There is also an outdoor
version of this DOAS, as indicated by digits 7 & 8 of the
configuration code, “RT”.
The outdoor version of the
DOAS has a separate manual.
DN-Series DOAS Indoor
1.0 OVERVIE W
1.1 DESCRIPTION
This unit is an indoor Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) that provides makeup air that is optionally
heated, cooled and dehumidified to a conditioned space. The air that is drawn through the unit also
goes through enthalpic cores to recover energy from exhaust air. It may be configured with internal
heating and/or cooling hardware or it may be connected to external hardware such as a chilled water
system or a heat pump or a steam source. It has two dedicated variable speed plenum fans and a
sophisticated on-board electronic control package that offers many different control options. The
DOAS is available in three different sizes and may be ordered in either an indoor or a rooftop (outdoor)
version.
Each unit is constructed in the form of modules, with each module performing a dedicated function.
Each module has configurable options that can be selected by the user. See the illustrations on
following page.
1.1.2 Energy Recovery
Energy recovery is accomplished by means of integral 5th generation static plate enthalpic cores. Stale
air that is being exhausted from the Occupied Space passes through the enthalpic cores where both
sensible and latent energy are recovered into the Supply Air airstream.
1.1.2 Makeup Air
Makeup air is air that is needed by the Occupied Space to replace air that is otherwise lost or exhausted
from the building. In some cases, air is being drawn from the building by the air handler itself, in the
form of Return Air. The Premium Controls package supplied with each unit senses variations in air
pressures and causes the unit to deliver the makeup air as needed. Makeup air is generally conditioned
by either heating or cooling the air before it is delivered to the Occupied Space.
IMPORTANT
This DOAS will optionally contain chilled water coils, steam coils, hot water coils and DX coils,
all of which are to be connected to owner-provided equipment. The DOAS does not include DX
compressors. The DOAS will provide low-voltage digital and analog signals to call for operation and
modulation of the owner-provided equipment. No refrigerant control valve (TXV) is provided and
must be specified by the engineer of the overall system for separate sourcing.
1.1.3 Heating
Heating options include:
Integral indirect gas-fired heat module, either natural gas or propane
Integral electric heater
Integral hot water coil, for connection to an external hot water source (by others)
Integral coil for connection to an external heat pump (by others)
Integral coil for steam heat (steam by others)
1.1.4 C ooling
Cooling options include:
Integral DX coil, for connection to an external compressor (by others)
Integral chilled water coil, for connection to an external chilled water source (by others)
Intetgral water coil for connection to an external heat pump (by others)
1.1.5 Reheat
Reheat is accomplished by means of an optional Hot Gas Reheat coil (HGRH). The HGRH coil is installed
within the unit and is to be connected to an external compressorized refrigerant system, furnished by
others.
1.2 MODEL SIZES
The indoor DOASis available in three different sizes:
Model DN-2: 1,650 cfm (small cabinet size)
Model DN-3: 3,300 cfm (medium cabinet size)
Model DN-5: 4,950 cfm (large cabinet size)

1.3 AIRF LOWS
The DOAS has many configurations available for airflow inlet and/or outlet. The customer is to select
each individual airstream location and then apply all four locations to the matrix at right, selecting the
one example that fits all criteria. The identifying letter beneath each figure is shown on the configuration code. See configuration code digit 10.
1.3.1 Airflow Inlet and Outlet Configurations
IMPORTANT
It is important to understand and use the equipment airstream terminology as it is used in this manual. The airstreams are defined as:
• OUTSIDE AIR (OA): Air taken from the external atmosphere and, therefore, not previously circulated through the system. Each DOAS
has an OA air inlet, optionally located on either the roof or the end wall.
• FRESH AIR (FA): Air that is ready for conditioning. In some cases, FA is a blend of OA and RA, which is then conditioned and
becomes SA.
• SUPPLY AIR (SA): Conditioned air that is supplied to an occupied space. Each DOAS has an SA outlet that may deliver either
conditioned supply air or fresh air. The Supply Air outlet is optionally located on either the end wall or the floor.
• RETURN AIR (RA): Air that is returned to a heating or cooling appliance from a conditioned space. When the DOAS operates in
recirculation mode, RA is conditioned and returned to the occupied space in the form of SA. Each DOAS has an RA inlet, optionally
located on either the floor or the end wall of the unit.
• EXHAUST AIR (EA): Air that is removed from a heating or cooling appliance and discharged. Each DOAS has an EA outlet with a
damper. The Exhaust Air outlet is optionally installed on either the side wall or the roof of the unit.

OVERVIEW
DN-Series DOAS Indoor
1.3.2 DOAS Internal Airflow Configuration
Within the DOAS, airstreams can be redirected as a result of changes in the bypass or recirculation
dampers. In normal operation, typical airflow is through the enthalpic cores and then through the fan
module. If the bypass function is activated, the FA airstream is redirected through the bypass assembly instead of through the cores. If the optional recirculation function is activated, the recirculation
damper is opened and the airstream again bypasses the enthalpic cores.
An economizer (bypass) mode is available on all DOAS units. Bypass mode is activated when the
Outside Air enthalpy is less than the Return Air enthalpy and free cooling is desired. When the DOAS
enters economizer mode, the bypass damper opens and the face damper closes, causing the outdoor
air stream to bypass the energy recovery cores. Bypass mode is used only for economizer. Outside Air
bypasses the enthalpic cores. The face and bypass dampers are modulated for no or limited energy
recovery. See illustrations on following page.
A recirculation mode is optionally available on all DOAS units. Recirculation is used only at night during
the Unoccupied Mode. It takes Return Air and bypasses the enthalpic cores and then adds cooling or
heat to the air stream. Recirculation mode is enabled by going to the Schedule section of the controller
menu (Main Menu / Settings / Scheduler) and setting a schedule and set points.
To accomplish recirculation, a damper is installed in the bypass assembly of the unit. See damper
illustration Recirculation Damper Inside Bypass Assembly on page 16.

2.13.6 Optional Overflow Switch
The optional overflow switch is factory-installed on the condensate pan and wired directly to the low
voltage terminal strip in the DOAS. If the water level in the pan should rise to an unacceptable level,
the magnetic reed switch will cause the unit to shut down the fans and return the dampers to their
normally-closed positions. The overflow switch is factory-wired to the controller ENABLE function so
the DOAS will simply shut down whenever the water level rises too high and will then resume operation
when the water level drops. If the overflow switch causes an override of the ENABLE function, the
controller will show ENABLE OFF and it will not register as an ALARM condition.

4.2 RECEIVING
Upon delivery of the DOAS, inspect it carefully for shipping damage and completeness. Verify the
presence of any accessories that are to be field-installed or filters that are shipped loose. If shipping
damage is discovered, take digital pictures and note the visible damage on the shipping manifest.
Notify your RenewAire dealer immediately.
4.3 RIGGING
For rigging instructions, refer to the model-specific manual for shipping, rigging, lifting and assembly
that is also available online at www.renewaire.com.
4.4 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Upon delivery to a job site, the DOAS should ideally be placed and installed immediately. If the unit
cannot be installed immediately, it should be protected from the weather, either by moving it indoors
or by covering with tarps. When placing the DOAS on the ground, the placement area should be flat
and level. Take care to avoid twisting or wracking of the unit.
5.0 UNIT PLACEMENT
5.1 SOUND ATTENUATION OUTSIDE THE BUILDING
UNIT PLACEMENT
The exhaust hood is the primary source of noise outside the building. When practical, orient the
exhaust air hood to point away from houses or public areas.
5.2 PLACEMENT CAUTIONS
Air handlers are typically placed in a location specified by others. There are a number of situations
that may demand relocation:
• The outside air intake must be at least 10’ away from exhausts such as dryer vents, chimneys,
furnace and water heater exhausts or other sources of contamination or carbon monoxide.
• Do not locate outside air intake where vehicles may be serviced or left idling.
• Never locate the outside air inlet inside a structure.
• Do not install the unit inside a garage or parking structure.
NOTICE
This DOAS must be installed in compliance with SMACNA guidelines and all applicable local
building codes.
5.3 SERVICE CLEARANCES
See Section 3.0 Unit Drawings for required service clearances.

6.0 INSTALL ATION
6.1 CURB ASSEMBLY AND PLACEMENT
Curbs are not normally required or used for indoor installations of the RenewAire DOAS.
6.2 UNIT PLACEMENT
DOAS location is normally specified by others but installers must also verify that the installation is in
accordance with all local codes and building regulations.
Place the DOAS in its final location and level it by installing shims under the unit base. Shims should
be placed at all four corners of the unit and not more than four feet apart on the sides and ends. Shims
should be made of galvanized sheet metal.
Ducts inside a
building that are
connected to the
outside must be
insulated with a sealed
vapor barrier on both the
inside and the outside of the
insulation.
The DOAS must be within 1/8” of level in any four-foot distance.
6.3 HOOD INSTALLATION
Hoods are not normally required or used for indoor installations of the RenewAire DOAS.
6.4 DUCT CONNECTIONS
All ductwork is field-supplied and installed. If ducts are to be attached to factory-installed dampers,
the dampers have an integral flange for anchoring the duct(s). See images below.
Ducts may be fastened to the duct flange on the damper(s) or they may be oversized for direct
attachment to the DOAS cabinet.
All RA and SA openings have duct flanges for connection to ductwork.
Class I Damper (typ)Duct Flange on Damper (typ)
6.4.1 Indoor Sound Attenuation
Duct stiffness:
Make sure the ductwork at the unit outlets is stiff enough to resist the flexing and resulting booming
noise associated with system start-up and shutdown, as well as the turbulent flow conditions at the
blower outlets.
In general, provide smooth transitions from the DOAS outlets to the duct. The ducts connecting to
the outlets should be straight for a sufficient distance , with gradual transitions to the final duct size.
These guidelines are consistent with SMACNA recommended duct layout practices for efficient and
quiet air movement.
Radiated noise:
The outlet ducts can be significant sources of radiated sound, as well. The SAduct should be insulated
for sound control. This insulation should start at the unit. At a minimum, the first ten feet of duct should
be insulated. All parts of the SA and RA ducts located in a mechanical space with noise-generating
equipment should also be insulated for sound control, both to minimize sound radiation out of the SA
and RA ducts and also to control sound radiation into both ducts.

6.7 PIPING CONNECTIONS
6.7.1 Coil Connections
Piping connections to DOAS coils may be water coil (either heating or cooling), steam coil or refrigerant
for a DX cooling coil or a HGRH coil
Fluid coils are located in the coil module which may be either upstream or downstream of the SA fan
module. Coils are always positioned vertically and the inlets and outlets are stubbed through the fixed
portion of the access panel. Fluid coils must typically be flushed at time of connection to an external
water source. Fluid coils are dry when shipped, with connections capped.
Optional DX coils are installed in the coil module which may be either upstream or downstream of the
SA fan. DX coils are filled with nitrogen and are to be purged prior to connection to a field-supplied,
external refrigerant source.
IMPORTANT
Do not release refrigerant into the atmosphere! If required service procedures include the adding
or removal of refrigerant, the service technician must comply with all federal, state and local laws.
The procedures discussed in this manual should only be performed by a qualified, EPA Certified
technician.
6.7.2 Gas Heater Connections
Gas connections to the optional indirect gas-fired heater module should be as shown in the RenewAire Integral Indirect Gas-Fired Heat Module User Manual.

DN-Series DOAS Indoor
6.7.3 Drain Traps
Condensate drains may be found on integral gas-fired furnaces or as part of a condensate drain pan
assembly in a cooling section of the DOAS. All condensate drains must be trapped. Depending on
the configuration of the unit as ordered, there may be condensate drains for DX coils, chilled water
coils and gas heat modules. DX coils and chilled water coils are installed above condensate drain pans
and the drains from those pans must be trapped and, if necessary, winterized. If a gas heat module
is installed, the condensate discharge tube from the module must also be trapped and winterized, as
needed.
Cooling module drain pans have a sloped bottom and an integral drain fitting at the low end. The drain
fitting is 1” diameter stainless steel with female NPT. The image below shows the underside of the
drain fitting.
For specific information on trapping a gas furnace condensate drain, see the RenewAire Integral Indirect Gas-Fired Heat Module User Manual.
For instructions on designing both positive and negative pressure drain traps, see Section 6.7.4 Drain
Trap Construction in this manual.

6.7.4 Drain Trap Construction
Drain traps should be constructed in accordance with local building codes, using Industry Best
Practices. Drain traps are essential to allow water to flow out of the drain pan(s). More important,
though, when there is negative internal static within the unit, the trap prevents outdoor air from being
pulled into the unit and consequently splashing water inside the unit. Drain trap design is dependent
on the static pressure at the drain location and also whether the pressure is negative or positive. For
all drain traps, RenewAire recommends the installation of threaded plugs at several locations to permit
periodic cleaning and filling of the trap. Also recommended is the use of a vacuum breaker if water is
being discharged from the trap into a drain pipe. The vacuum breaker can be omitted if the condensate
is being drained directly onto the ground. See illustration below.
Note Locations of Recommended Clean-Out Ports
PIPING CONNECTIONS
Typical Drain Trap Construction
In order to properly design drain traps, certain information must be obtained. First, carefully check the
drawings to find the number and locations of all drain traps. Also from the drawings, determine if the
drain traps will be positive or negative pressure.
If a positive pressure trap is needed, fabricate the trap as shown in the drawing below.

PIPING CONNECTIONS
DN-Series DOAS Indoor
When fabricating a positive pressure drain trap, dimension “H” equals the Total Static Pressure in
inches of water column plus a minimum of 1/2 inch.
Be sure that the offset distance between the height of the condensate inlet and the condensate outlet
is at least 1/2 inch.
If a negative pressure trap is needed, fabricate the trap as shown in the following drawing.

Dimension “H” equals the negative pressure in inches of water column
Discharge Pipe

H
H / 2 (one-half of dimension “H”)
PLUS a minimum of one inch
Negative Pressure Drain Trap Construction
When fabricating a negative pressure drain trap, dimension “H” equals the Total Static Pressure in
inches of water column plus a minimum of one inch. The outlet side of the drain trap should have a
water column equal to one-half of dimension “H”.
Specific materials and fittings are to be used as local conditions dictate. Since the trap is to be kept
filled with either water or glycol solution at all times, it may be necessary to fabricate the trap from
metal so that an electric heat tape can be installed to prevent freezing.
Condensate may be drained directly onto the ground only if local codes permit it. If allowed to drain
directly, a pad must be provided for the condensate to drip onto.
6.7.5 Waterless Drain Traps
As an alternative to a field-fabricated and installed condensate P-trap, RenewAire offers an HVAC
waterless trap. The advantages to a waterless trap are that they may require less vertical clearance
for (negative pressure) installations, they generally do not require winterization and they do not require
priming at the beginning of the cooling season.
Two different models are offered, both the N-type for negative pressure applications and the P-type for
positive pressure applications. Both models are rated for a maximum of 12 In. W.C.. All waterless traps
have a cleanout port for annual maintenance. RenewAire recommends that waterless traps be installed
with a screen union kit to permit removal of the trap for maintenance, which consists of back-flushing
with water or compressed air. RenewAire also recommends installation of a condensate pan overflow
switch to shut down the DOAS if the condensate level should rise to unacceptable levels.
Type “P” waterless traps are typically installed vertically and require a 1” sweep on both the top and
bottom. If screen-unions are used (recommended), that will increase the overall height clearance of
the device slightly.

7.4 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Basic Sequence of Operation (SOO)
Operating sequences are different, depending on whether the unit is:
• Controlled for simultaneous blower operation or controlled for independent blower operation.
• Factory-provided with VFD control.
Simultaneous or Independent Blower Operation:
When set up for Simultaneous Blower Operation, both blowers should respond to a call for unit
operation at the same time.
When set up for Independent blower operation, each blower will follow an independent operating
sequence.
CONTROL CONNECTIONS
Dampers
The control sequence for that airstream’s blower is as follows:
• External control calls for operation and damper immediately starts to open.
• After about 30 seconds, damper is open fully and the damper actuator end switch closes.
• The damper actuator end switch completes a low-voltage circuit that turns on the appropriate
blower.
49 1.800.627.4499 INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL RENEWAIRE.COM
PRE START-UP
DN-Series DOAS Indoor
8.0 PRE START-UP
8.1 VERIFY VOLTAGES
Using a voltmeter, test the input voltages as supplied to the disconnect switch. Refer to Digit 13 of the
unit Configuration Code to find the rated voltage. The supplied voltage must be within +/- 10% of the
rated voltage.
8.2 VERIFY TRANSFORMER WIRING
Units with 230VAC power source are shipped with the transformer wired for 208VAC. If the unit is
receiving 230VAC, make sure the black primary-side wire on the transformer’s 208V terminal has
been moved to the 230V terminal.
8.3 INSPECT FILTERS
Filters must be installed prior to fan start-up. Filters must be clean and butted tightly against each
other, allowing no air circulation around them.
8.7 INSPECT FANS
Prior to start-up, the fans should be rotated by hand to make sure that the impeller is not rubbing
anywhere and that it turns freely.
8.8 INSPECT AND CLEAN THE INTERIOR
During the construction and installation phases of a project, dust, dirt and debris will often accumulate
inside a unit. Thoroughly clean the inside of the unit by vacuuming and/or wiping with a damp rag.
8.9 INSPECT DUCTWORK CONNECTIONS
Ducts attached to the DOAS must be firmly attached, sealed and supported in accordance with
installation instructions and SMACNA guidelines.
All dampers should
be tested at startup to verify that the
dampers will open
fully. See the DOAS Quick-
Start Guide.
For information on
programming and operating the Integrated
Commercial Controller,
see the DOAS Integral Commercial Controls User Manual.
9.0 START-UP
9.1 VERIFY CORRECT FAN ROTATION DIRECTION
The first time power is applied to the fan motors, it should be just a brief pulse so that the fans will
begin spinning. Verify that the fans are turning the correct direction. If a fan is turning the wrong
direction, it will be because a three-phase power source has been improperly connected.
9.2 BASIC OPERATIONAL CHECK
PREPARE FOR TESTING
• Turn the Disconnect Switch on the face of the E-Box to the ON position. The controller will now
boot-up.
• Using the controller Main Menu, switch the Unit Enable status to ON. The dampers will move to
their assigned positions and then the fans will start running.
• Once the fans begin moving, verify they are turning the correct direction and then change the Unit
Enable status to OFF.
9.2.1 Current Switches
Once correct rotation direction has been verified, re-set the current switches according to the
instructions in Section 11.11 of this manual.
RENEWAIRE.COMINSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 1.800.627.449950
DN-Series DOAS Indoor
10.0 MAINTENANCE
RenewAire DOASs are built to operate with minimal maintenance. After unit commissioning, the
primary areas of attention are the air filters.
10.1 MAINTENANCE 24 HRS. AFTER START-UP
24 hours after unit start-up:
• If unit has DX or cooling coils, inspect for water where it does not belong. Inspect the conden-
sate pan and trap to make sure condensate is draining properly.
• In new installations, check the air filters since they will often collect dust, dirt and debris at time
of start-up.
10.2 MAINTENANCE 30 DAYS AFTER START-UP
After 30 days of operation:
• Tighten all electrical connections,
• Check the air filters as part of the normal monthly maintenance.
10.3 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Experience on the part of the service person is the most important issue in establishing a maintenance schedule. There will be times of the year when frequent inspection of the filters will be required, such as spring and summer when there may be pollen, dust, dirt or debris from budding trees
and bushes that can clog the filters. Also see Section 12.0 Maintenance Records in this manual.
MAINTENANCE
10.4 FILTERS
Filter cleanliness and replacement is the most important and frequent maintenance issue. Dirty filters will cause an immediate reduction in operating efficiency of the DOAS. Normally, filter condition
should be checked frequently by checking pressure drop data on the integrated microprocessor
controller. The controller constantly monitors air pressure within the unit and will provide an alarm
when pressure drop across the filters exceeds a user-assigned setpoint. Paper filters are not to be
cleaned, they are to be replaced. In general, if a filter looks dirty, replace it.

11.0 MAINTENANCE REFERENCE
Maintenance of this unit has a split schedule. It is broken down into Monthly, Semi Annual and Annual
tasks and the schedule must be adjusted for heating or cooling. If there is a cooling system in the
unit, the annual maintenance for the cooling system should be scheduled for the start of the cooling
season. If there is a heating system in the unit, the annual maintenance for the heating system should
be scheduled for the start of the heating season. Maintenance needs for various components are
described briefly on the following pages.
11.1 CABINET MAINTENANCE
Once each year the entire cabinet should be thoroughly inspected for dirt build-up, corrosion or
scratches to the finish (whether galvanized or painted). If dirt build-up is found, it should be cleaned
and the source corrected. If scratches or corrosion are found, the surface should be cleaned and a
protective coating should be applied.
Annual inspection:
• Inspect all door seals to make sure they are still pliable and function properly. Replace any seals
that are hardened, cracked or ineffective.
• Inspect doors for proper alignment and door handle tension. See Section 11.6 in this manual.
• Inspect all caulked joints to verify that caulking is in good repair. Any joint caulk that is cracked or
ineffective should be removed and replaced with fresh caulking.
• Look for rust, corrosion or dirt build-up. If found, clean the area and apply a proper sealant.
Correct the source of any dirt.

11.2 ELECTRIC MOTOR MAINTENANCE
The most important issue in motor maintenance is motor cleanliness.
11.2.1 Motor Cleanliness
Removing dust and grease buildup on the motor housing assists proper cooling. Never wash-down the
motor with high pressure spray.
11.2.2 VFDs (optional)
Power electronics have limited life and may exhibit changed characteristics or performance
deterioration after years of use under normal conditions. Periodic inspection and maintenance of the
drive unit is required.
Drives contain a variety of power electronics such as power transistors, semiconductors, capacitors,
resistors, fans, and relays. The electronics in the drive serve a critical role in maintaining proper motor
control.
The VFD manual that was shipped with the unit has a maintenance and inspection schedule.
Note: The drive will require more frequent inspection if it is placed in harsh environments, such as:
• High ambient temperatures
• Frequent starting and stopping
• Fluctuations in the AC supply or load
• Excessive vibrations or shock loading
• Poor storage conditions
Perform the first equipment inspection 3 months after installation.
Note that the cooling fan on a VFD has an expected life of 2 - 3 years while the main circuit capacitors
have an expected life of 10 years.
Inspect all VFDs annually to verify that cooling fans are not blocked and are operating properly without
causing overheating of either the VFD or the driven motor.
VFDs have a Performance Life Monitor built in so that the owner can use the keypad on the VFD to
check for expected remaining life.

11.3 ENTHALPIC CORE MAINTENANCE
The enthalpic core media is a fibrous material that must be kept clean at all times. As a minimum,
cores should be cleaned once per year.
• DO NOT WASH OR ALLOW THE ENTHALPIC CORES TO GET WET.
• DO NOT EXPOSE THE ENTHALPIC CORES TO HIGH HEAT OR FLAMES.
• DO NOT DIRECT COMPRESSED AIR AT THE CORE MEDIA.
• DO NOT REMOVE THE ENTHALPIC CORES FROM THE DOAS UNLESS NECESSARY.
• USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING AROUND THE ENTHALPIC CORES. DO NOT DROP TOOLS OR
OTHER OBJECTS ON THE CORES, DO NOT BUMP OR TWIST THE CORES.
To access enthalpic cores for cleaning, remove the air filters.
To clean enthalpic cores, all exposed surfaces must be vacuumed with an attachment having long, soft
bristles. The greatest buildup of dirt and dust will normally be on the leading 1 - 2 inches of the inlet
side (closest to the air filters).
CAUTION
RISK OF DAMAGE TO ENTHALPIC CORES
Whenever working within the DOAS cabinet, protect the enthalpic cores from accidental damage.
The core media is subject to damage from dropped tools or other foreign objects.
11.3.1 Removal of Enthalpic Cores
Before removing enthalpic cores, switch the main disconnect to OFF. Open the door to the Energy
Recovery Module and simply pull each core straight out of its guides.
MAINTENANCE REFERENCE
When cores are
removed from the
DOAS, they should
be immediately
protected from accidental
damage, water, high heat or
flames.
End View of Core Support Assembly
11.3.2 Reinstallation of Enthalpic Cores
Many DOAS units use a combination of what are referred to as “full size” and “half size” cores. When
a half size core is used, it is positioned next to the access door. Full size cores are located behind any
half size core. Cores have foam gasketing on one end of each core. The core should be reinstalled so
that the foam gasketing is toward the back of the DOAS and the core label is facing toward the front.
See illustration above.

11.5 COILS
11.5.1 Coil Maintenance / Removal
Whenever using
cleaning agents inside a DOAS, thor-
oughly wash down
the area with fresh water
when finished. Make sure
that all residue, including
cleaning chemicals, has
been removed from the unit.
CAUTION: Use
of glycol or
polypropylene in
ratios other than
originally specified will affect
thermal exchange properties.
The primary maintenance issue with coils is “housekeeping”. Periodic inspection of all coils is needed
to search for bent fins which will impede air flow and inspect for cleanliness which reduces the
efficiency of the coil.
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. Low pressure water spray may be used for cleaning the fins. In all cases,
TEST THE SPRAY PRESSURE over a small corner of the coil to determine if the fins will withstand the
spray pressure. Bent fins should be straightened as needed.
The RTFP coil uses round copper tubing with many thin aluminum plates that go from tube to tube. The
aluminum plates can easily be bent and when that happens, the plates need to be straightened. Use a
common “fin comb” to straighten the plates. If there is dirt build-up on the fins, the ability of the coil
to transfer heat is greatly reduced. Dirt can be cleaned off by using a commercial cleaning agent and
then hosing it down with fresh water.
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!
CAUTION
RISK OF INCIDENTAL DAMAGE TO DOAS COMPONENTS
Many cleaning agents that are commonly used on coils may be damaging to other components
such as enthalpic core media. Use protective sheeting to prevent accidental spread of chemicals.
Thoroughly wash down the area when finished.
If it becomes necessary to remove any water or DX coil from a DOAS, it will have to be pulled straight
forward through the access door opening. Any DX coil that is in the coil compartment will have to be
evacuated. All coil tubes that extend through the access door must be cut off to allow removal of the
door. Coils rest on either a bracket or rails and each coil has a positioning bracket at the rear of each
coil, holding it in place. There are also two retaining bolts at the front of each coil, positioned toward
the front of the DOAS.

11.9 WATER TREATMENT MAINTENANCE
RenewAire does not make any recommendations regarding minimum water quality for user-supplied
water in the DOAS coils. If the user is employing a water treatment system, observe the instructions
provided with the specific treatment system.
11.10 CONDENSATE DRAIN MAINTENANCE
Every DOAS having either a chilled water coil or a DX coil will have a drain pan. A drain pan is a tray or
pan inside the unit that is designed to collect condensation resulting from normal operation of cooling
coils.
Drain traps are located outside the air handler and are connected to a drain pan. A drain trap gives a
path for discharge of condensation but its primary function is to provide a water column that prevents
outside air from being drawn into the unit.
Drain pans and drain traps are places that are subject to bacteria growth. Each month, drain pans and
drain traps should be inspected and drain traps should be filled. Inspect both the traps and the pans for
evidence of bacteria or algae. If there is any evidence, clean thoroughly and treat with an appropriate
growth inhibitor. If evidence of algae or bacterial growth is found, inspect and treat weekly until the
problem is solved.
At the start of each heating season, drain traps should be filled with a glycol solution and if there is an
electric heater (heat tape) on the trap or drain trap discharge pipe, it should be tested to make sure it
functions properly.
11.11 C URRENT SWI TCH ES
Current switches are typically installed on the low voltage side of the E-Box. They work by sensing
current passing through one or more high voltage power lines that pass through the center of the
switch module.
Each switch has two indicator LEDs, showing “trip off” or “trip on”. The switch functions as an alarm
condition indicator for the unit controller. If the switch goes into alarm, the controller alarm will reset
itself when the alarm condition is satisfied. The controller will not reset itself and will continue to show
an alarm in the circuit or system being monitored. Current switches are to be field-adjusted when
the unit is under full load.
Current Switch (typical)
11.12 WINTERIZATION
Winterization normally applies to “wet” areas of an air handler that will be exposed to freezing
temperatures. This includes any water-filled coils and/or water supply piping and water drains, such as
from condensate pans and P-traps. Prior to the first hard frost of the year, all air handler components
should be examined and a plan put in place to either remove all water from the device or else to
protect water-laden components. It is the user’s responsibility to determine possible freezing risks and
implement a plan to protect the unit from freeze damage.
RENEWAIRE.COMINSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 1.800.627.449960
DN-Series DOAS Indoor
11.13 DAMPER MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
Damper linkages are to be lubricated with a graphite lubricant that does not contain petroleum
or silicone. Petroleum lubricants are known to cause build-up of dirt and grime, while silicone
lubricants can cause contamination spread in facilities where finishing of products with laquers
and paints is performed.
Dampers are to be inspected annually for correct operation. Make sure they open and close fully.
Inspect the side linkages for excessive looseness and lubricate the linkages with graphite lubricant.
11.14 FAN MAINTENANCE
All DOAS units use 2 direct-drive plenum fans. Blow or wipe any accumulated dust off the blower
wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or other damage. Observe the fans during operation, checking for
vibration or noise. Rotate the impellers by hand, checking for any rubbing of the impeller against the
inlet cone.
11.15 TROUBLESHOOTING
Any faults in the operation of the DOAS system are normally recorded by the Integrated Microprocessor
Controller. The first step in troubleshooting is to view the Alarm screens. Press the Alarm button on the
face of the controller to see all current alarms and what function or component is causing the alarm. In
some cases, the Alarm pre-set may need to be adjusted or an offset may need to be changed.
MAINTENANCE REFERENCE
Before making any changes to the controller programming, be certain to have an updated
backup file so that current settings can be easily restored, if needed.
Problems with an air handler are sometimes strictly mechanical, in which a fan or damper or some
other component simply stops working. Mechanical problems are easily traced to specific components
by using the prompts provided by the Alarm function button on the face of the controller.
In other cases, problems may be caused by the air handler trying to overcome a pre-set or operating
parameter that has been set by the user. In these cases, a simple adjustment of the pre-set or an offset
may correct the Alarm condition.
11.16 Factory Assistance
In the unlikely event that you need assistance from the factory for a specific issue, make sure that you have
the information called for in the Unit Records page in the Owner Information section of this manual. The
person you speak with at the factory will need that information to properly identify the unit and the installed
options.
