C. Control Sending 24VAC “On” Signal (from an external power
source) to ERV: Make sure jumper is NOT installed between
Terminals 2 &3. Now you safely can apply 24VAC to the Terminals
3 &4 to operate the ERV’s Isolation Relay for OA/FA Blower.
Install jumper (provided) between terminals 4 &5 to operate the
ERV’s Isolation Relay for the RA/EA Blower.
Supply only 24VAC (not VDC) from a Class II Power Source.
FOR THE CONTROL CONTRACTOR
D. Control operating on Unit’s 24VAC Power Supply: 24VAC power
is available at the Terminals 1 &2. CAUTION: external control
system should not draw more than 8VA. Install jumper (provided)
between terminals 2 &3. Connect the switched output of the
Control to Terminal 4 to operate the ERV’s Isolation Relay for OA/
FA Blower. Install jumper (provided) between terminals 4 &5 to
operate the ERV’s Isolation Relay for the RA/EA Blower.
E. Control System with 2 Non-powered Relay Contacts: Use this
schematic if the external control system provides no voltage or
current at its output contacts. Install jumper (provided) between
terminals 2 &3. Connect one side of each of the output contacts
to Terminal 1. Connect the other side of the output contact to
control the FA Blower to Terminal 4, and the output contacts to
control the EA Blower to Terminal 5.
F. Control System Sending two 24VAC “On” Signals from an
external power source: Make sure the jumper is NOT installed
between Terminals 2 &3. Now you safely can apply one of the
24VAC signals to Terminals 3 &4 to operate the ERV’s isolation
relay for the Fresh Air Blower. Apply the second 24VAC signal
to Terminals 3 &5 to operate the ERV’s isolation relay for the
Exhaust Blower (make sure the polarity of each wire connected
to Terminal 3 is the same).
Supply only 24VAC (not VDC) from a Class II Power Source.
BASIC OPERATING SEQUENCES
Operating sequences are different, depending on whether the
unit is:
Controlled for simultaneous blower operation, as in A-D, above,
or controlled for independent blower operation, as in E-F, above;
Is factory-provided with OA Damper, EA Damper, or both;
Is factory-provided with VFD control of one or both motors.
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,
unless only one of the blowers is controlled by a VFD or unless
only one of the blowers is in an airstream with a Damper.
When set up for Independent Blower Operation, each blower will
follow an independent operating sequence.
Dampers
When one or both of the airstreams are factory-provided with
Dampers, the control sequence for that airstream’s blower is as
follows:
1. External control calls for operation. Damper immediately
starts to open.
2. After about 30 seconds, damper is open fully and he Damper
Actuator End Switch closes.
3. The Damper Actuator End Switch completes a low-voltage
circuit that turns on the appropriate Blower, either through
the blower’s Motor Starter, or through the blower’s VFD.
4. If that Blower is controlled by a Motor Starter, it starts
immediately.
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
When one or both of the blowers are factory-provided with VFDs,
the response of the Blower Motor depends on the VFD’s settings
and connected control signal.
Typically, the VFD will be connected to an control device which
provides a variable, analog signal (0-10VDC or 4-20mA) as an
input to the VFD. The VFD must be set to respond to this input
with appropriate Motor operating speeds.
Alternately, the VFD might be controlled by a Time Clock,
which denes different operating periods (e.g. “occupied” and
“unoccupied”). Each period calls on one of up to three different
VFD Presets to provide different Motor speeds in different
operating periods.
It is beyond the scope of this document to detail setup of VFDs and
external control systems. Please see separate VFD MANUAL ABB.
