The ERS enthalpy wheel contains parallel layers of a
polymeric material that are impregnated with silica gel
(desiccant). The wheel is located in the entering (intake)
air and exhaust air streams of the ventilation equipment.
As the wheel rotates through each air stream, the wheel
surfaceadsorbssensibleandlatentenergy. Intheheating
mode, the wheel rotates to provide a constant transfer of
heat from the exhaust air stream to the colder intake air
stream. During the cooling season, the process is
reversed. When the temperatures are mild the wheel
pivots out of the air stream to allow economizer to operate
PRIN CI PLE OF OPERATION
normally for "free cooling" when outdoor temperature and
humidity is acceptable. During economizer operation, the
ERS exhaust blower continues to run, providing power
exhaustforthesystem. The intakeblower isde-energized
during economizer operation.

Motorized Intake Air Damper
Damper mounts behind the outdoor air intake hood. It
opens when the ERS is energized and closes when
de-energized. Powered by B30 damper motor.
Pressure Sensor
Measurement device on the ERS to determine airflow
across the Enthalpy Wheel.
Low Ambient Control Kit (S26)
Prevents frost formation on energy wheel heat transfer
surfaces by terminating the intake blower operation when
discharge air temperature falls below a field selectable
temperature setting. Intake blower operation resumes
operation after temperature rises above the adjustable
temperature differential.
The frost threshold is the outdoor temperature at which
frost will begin to form on the ERS wheel. For energy
recovery systems, the frost threshold is typically below
10oF. Frost threshold is dependent on indoor temperature
and humidity. The table shows how the frost threshold
temperatures vary depending on indoor conditions.
FROST THRESHOLD TEMPERATURE
INDOOR RH AT 70oFFROST THRESHOLD
TEMPERATURE
20% 0oF
30% 5oF
40% 10oF
Because Energy Recovery Systems have a low frost
threshold, frost control options are not necessary in many
climates. Where outdoor temperatures may drop below
the frost threshold during the ERS operational hours,
exhaust only frost control option is available.
ECONO MIZER SET TINGS
Refer to economizer instructions for minimum air flow
requirement. The damper setting on the internal
economizer assembly are field adjustable to any position
above minimum air flow for fresh air requirements at the
customers specified conditions.
3. Close access panels on the rooftop unit and secure.
4. Restore power to unit.
5. Once ERS is working properly, caulk any open joints,
holes, or seams to make the units completely air and
water tight.
6. Leave this instruction manual with owner or in an
envelope to be kept near unit.
BLOWER SPEED AD JUST MENT
Blower speed selection is accomplished by changing the
speed tap wire (refer to wiring diagram) on both fresh air
and exhaust air blowers. All blowers are factory set at
"high" for maximum airflow. To determine air flow setting,
external static pressure readings will need to be read
across the ERS. Reference Table 1 on page 8. For
location to take pressure readings. See Figure 21.

OPERATION
Recovery Wheel Mode
On a thermostat call for blower operation in heating,
cooling or continuous blower, the ERS media will rotate
between fresh air and exhaust air streams. Both the fresh
air blower and exhaust air blower will be operating.
Economizer/Power Exhaust Mode
On the activation of the economizer mode (closure of EH
and EH1 of logic module), the ERS unit will shutdown for
approximately60secondstoallowtheERS mediatopivot
out of the air stream. After this delay timer has been
satisfied,theexhaustairblowerwilloperate.TheERS unit
will act as a power exhaust unit.
This mode will continue until economizer has been
deactivated.Theexhaustairblowerwill shut downandthe
delay timer will be activated. During this time period the
ERS mediawillpivotback intotheairstream.Whentiming
is complete the unit will operate in the Recovery Wheel
Mode.
Then if economizer continues to close the ERS will
shutdown when the "N" terminal is deactivated, thus
allowing rooftop unit to run in night set back mode.
1. Disconnect ERS main power.
Note: If Low ambient kit S26 is used the jumper
between TB37-5 and TB37-6 should be removed.
Alsoifsystemcheck outisbeingconductedatlow
ambient temperatures, jumper low ambient
switch.
2. Open rooftop unit blower access panel and locate
TB1. Jumper terminals 6 (24v) and 3 (G) to energize
rooftop unit blower. Refer to manufacturers
instructions when an electronic thermostat or other
energy management system is used.
3. Remove ERS control access panel and install jumper
at low voltage terminal strip between TB37-1 and
TB37-2.
4. Restore power to ERS unit. The recovery wheel will
pivot out of the air stream, fresh air blower dampers
will open, and after a delay, the exhaust blower will
operate.
5. Remove jumper from ERS control board TB37-1 and
TB37-2. The recovery wheel will pivot into the air
stream, the fresh air blower dampers will close, and
after a delay, the fresh air blower and exhaust air
blower will operate.

MAINTENANCE
Motor Maintenance
All motors use prelubricated sealed bearings; no further
lubrication is necessary.
Mechanical Inspection
Make visual inspection of dampers, linkage assemblies
and ERS rotating bearings during routine maintenance.
Filters should be checked periodically and cleaned when
necessary. Filter is located in fresh air hoods. DO NOT
replace permanent filters with throwaway type filters.
Energy Wheel Maintenance
Four pie-shaped energy recovery wheel segments are
seated on stops between the stainless steel spring
retainers, secured to the hub and rim of wheel. Annual
inspection of the self cleaning wheel is recommended.
With power disconnected, remove ERS access panels
(rear)andunplug(J150&P150).Refertowiringdiagramin
this instruction manual. Each segment is secured in place
by a stainless steel spring retainer located on wheel rim.
Removeoneendof thestainlesssteelspringretainerfrom
the slot in the wheel rim and remove. Do the same on the
next retainer. Remove segment and wash with water
and/or mild detergent. Replace segment by reversing the
above procedure. See Fig ure 22. Discoloration and
staining of ERS segment does not affect its performance.
Only excessive buildup of foreign material need be
removed. If the segment appears excessively dirty, it
should be cleaned to ensure maximum operating
efficiency. Thoroughly spray plastic surface with
household cleaner such as Fantasticor equivalent
middledetergent and gently rinse with warm water usinga
soft brush to remove heavier accumulation. Shake excess
water from segment and replace in reverse of removal
instructions.
6. Disconnect main power to unit before making
adjustment to economizer and/or ERS unit.
7. Remove all jumpers and replace ERS control access
cover.
8. Set thermostat to normal operating position.
9. Restore power to unit.
