GENERAL
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ventilator should only be installed by a trained
heating and air conditioning technician. These
instructions serve as a guide to the technician installing
the ventilator package. They are not intended as a step
by step procedure with which the mechanically inclined
owner can install the package.
The ventilator housing is shipped in one carton which
contains the electrical harness, step control assembly,
miscellaneous hardware and installation instructions.
UNPACKING
Upon receipt of the equipment be sure to compare the
model number found on the shipping label with the
accessory identication information on the ordering and
shipping document to verify that the correct accessory
has been shipped.
Inspect the carton housing of each ventilator as it is
received, and before signing the freight bill, verify that
all items have been received and that there is no visible
damage. Note any shortages or damage on all copies
of the freight bill. The receiving party must contact
the last carrier immediately, preferably in writing,
requesting inspection by the carrier’s agent. Concealed
damage not discovered until after loading must be
reported to the carrier within 15 days of its receipt.
DESCRIPTION
The CRVMP-5 ventilator is designed to be used with
Bard 3 through 5 ton wall mount series step capacity
air conditioners. It is an electromechanical vent system
designed to provide fresh air to meet indoor air quality
standards. It automatically adjusts to the mode of
operation to maintain consistent fresh air intake levels.
Examples are blower only, stage 1 cooling and stage 2
cooling, which are all set for different total airows.
MODELS
When installed in the above-listed models, the
CRVMP-5 provides built in exhaust provisions. When
the damper blade opens to bring fresh air in, the damper
also opens an exhaust relief. The exhaust air will ow
into the condenser section of the unit. The condenser
fan will help draw exhaust air out.

BLADE ADJUSTMENT FOR DESIRED
VENTILATOR AIR
The amount of ventilation air supplied by the
commercial room ventilator is dependent on ve (5)
factors.
1. Return air duct static pressure drop.
2. Supply air duct static pressure drop.
3. Indoor blower motor speed.
4. Damper blade open position setting for each mode
of operation.
5. Tightness or looseness of building envelope.
You will have to set the damper position for each mode
of operation using the set-point potentiometers on the
Damper Position Step Control Board. See Figure 5.
Refer to the graphs on the following pages to determine
the necessary blade setting to achieve the ventilation
air required based upon blower only, Stage #1 and
Stage #2 modes of operation. These charts are model
specic, so you will have to match the chart to the
specic model you are working with.
1. Set the damper position for blower only operation.
A. Energize the evaporator blower by switching
thermostat to the manual fan position with
heat/cool in OFF position (or Jumper “R” to
“G” with thermostat disconnected at unit).
B. Locate potentiometer “R1” on the Damper
Position Step Control Board. See Figure 5.
C. Using a small screwdriver, adjust
potentiometer until damper position aligns
with numerical location on the label interior
of the sheet metal damper assembly.
2. Set the damper position for Stage #1 cooling/
heating operation.
A. Energize the evaporator blower and
compressorbyswitchingthermostattotheheat
or cool mode, and setting it to a minimal offset
totheroomtemperaturetoengagethemodeof
operation desired (or Jumper “R” to “G”
and “Y1” with thermostat disconnected at
unit).
B. Locate potentiometer “R2” on the Damper
Position Step Control Board. See Figure 5.
C. Using a small screwdriver, adjust
potentiometer until damper position aligns
with numerical location on the label interior of
the sheet metal damper assembly. (Make sure
there is not a call on “Y2” or “W2”.)
3. Set the damper position for Stage #2 cooling/
heating operation.
A. Energize the evaporator blower and
compressor by switching thermostat to the heat
or cool mode and set a large temperature offset
to the room temperature to engage the mode of
operation desired (or Jumper “R” to “G”,
“Y1” and “Y2” with thermostat disconnected
at unit).
B. Locate potentiometer “R3” on the Damper
Position Step Control Board. See Figure 5.
C. Using a small screwdriver, adjust
potentiometer until damper position aligns
with numerical location on the label interior of
the sheet metal damper assembly per the chart.

ADDING OPTIONAL CO

CONTROL
SENSOR
Adding an optional Bard Part #8403-067 to this control
will maximize the capabilities of this vent by only
supplying fresh air intake to maintain CO2levels. This
has multiple benets.
• Minimizes ventilation load on structure as it only
brings in what is required to maintain CO2levels
lowering reconditioning requirements (not having to
heat/cool as much outside air).
• Will self-adjust for various occupancy levels so
that you are not bringing in fresh air beyond need.
For example, if a room is designed for a maximum
occupancy of 40 persons (the standard ventilation
control would have to be set for that occupancy), but
the room typically only contains 25 persons. This
control will self-adjust the amount of fresh air intake
from 600 to 375 CFM automatically (based upon 15
CFM per person standard rate to ASHRAE standards).
BASIC INSTALLATION
1. Make sure power is turned off to the unit
2. Follow steps beginning on page 2 for installation
for standard control and vent assembly, then
proceed with the following steps.
3. Run (4) wire thermostat wire from the unit to the
desired CO2sensor location.
4. Follow Figure 6 to congure the CO2sensor for
proper operation.
5. Connect the thermostat wiring from the CO2sensor
to step control assembly following the wiring
diagram (enclosed in Literature Assembly or on
ventilator).
6. Connect the orange wire from the “A” terminal
of the units low voltage connection strip to the
“OCC” terminal on the step control board.
7. To check operation, restore power to the unit.
8. Make sure that thermostatic control is in
“occupied” mode of operation calling for
ventilation.
9. Have someone stand in front of the CO2sensor and
breathe on it. The display should show an increase
in CO2ppm and the damper blade in the ventilation
package should increase (may be good to have a
helper - one to breathe on control and one to
observe damper).
