RECOMMENDATION
Before turning on your new device, inspect the condition of the
ventilation ducts. Clean the ducts before turning on your device.
If building construction has not yet been completed, we
recommend that you wait until work has been finished before
starting up your device. An abnormal volume of dust in the air
could clog the device filters and cause damage to the motors.
Ensure that all diffusers are opened to their maximum capacity
before turning on your device. It is common to notice a faint
smell of burning upon the first start-up.
CAUTION
This device should be installed and balanced by a specialized
contractor in ventilation services.
WARNING
Electrical currents remain at the capacitors for 5 minutes after
circuits disconnect have been opened. The following electrical
components may not be electrically safe immediately:
Variable Frequency Drive for the blowers motors.

Defrost Modes
Built-in self controlled electric preheating coil (SSR-controlled).
The unit preheat the outside air at a given set point at which
no frost will occur. The electric coil is Self controlled and
powered by the unit (single point power connection).
Built-in liquid preheating coil
The unit preheat the outside air at a given set point at which
no frost will occur.A 0 to 10VDC control signal is available to
control external hydronic valves (supplied by others)
Fan defrost.
The unit monitors the exhaust air temperature and when it
drop below a reference temperature, the unit shut off the
supply air blower and close the outside air damper. The
exhaust mode will continue until the exhaust air temperature
reach back the reference temperature.
Recirculation defrost cycles.
The unit monitors the outdoor air and when it reaches below
a specific temperature, the unit start the recirculation cycles.
The exhaust blower will be shut down, the outside air
damper will be closed and the recirculation damper will be
opened.

20 Maintenance
20
CAUTION
Always turn off electrical power before performing device
maintenance. Device contains high-voltage electrical
components.
Every 3 months
Check the condition of the filters and make replacements
if necessary.
Check the condition and tension of belts. Adjust or replace
if necessary.
Check the condition of ventilators and clean if needed.
Check the condition of the wheel. The wheel is normally self-
cleaning due to reversing of cool and contaminated air
currents; however, certain conditions may cause grease build-
up or accumulation of particles. Clean the wheel with water
and mild soap. Note that the desiccant will not be affected
during cleaning operations.
Check the condition of the brushes on the thermal wheel and
make adjustments if necessary.
Check the condition of the belt on the thermal wheel.
Every 12 months
Polypropylene or aluminum cores: remove and clean with
water and mild soap.
Enthalpic cores: clean with compressed air or vacuum
cleaner.
Thoroughly clean the inside of the unit.
