VI - BASIC OPERATING MODES
A. ENERGY RECOVERY MODE
continuously with one supplying the required VOLUME
of fresh outdoor air, and the other exhausting an equal
VOLUME of stale indoor air returned from the conditioned
space. Energy Recovery is achieved by slowly rotating
the Energy Recovery Wheel within its cassette framework,
known as the Energy Recovery Cassette, or ERC.
Duringwinter operationtheERC absorbsheat and moisture
from the return air stream during one half of a complete
revolution and recovers that energy by transferring it to
the cold, dryer outdoor air during the other half of the
same revolution. The process automatically reverses for
summer operation when heat and moisture are absorbed
from the fresh, outdoor supply air and transferred to the
return air stream being exhausted. This transfer of energy
This mode of operation allows outdoor air ventilation
rates to be increased by a factor of three or more without
cooling systems.
B. TEMPERING MODE
Neutral Air Option - Also available are cooling and
heating options installed after the ERC to further temper
the supply air to achieve a space neutral condition. This is
an ideal solution for applications requiring 100% outdoor
air.
Neutral Air Plus Option - If a cooling capacity beyond
that required to achieve a space neutral condition is
desired there is an option available that will meet that
requirement. This will provide a solution for applications
requiring 100% outdoor air, plus meet an additional
cooling load. See supplemental brochure for cooling
performance with matching condensing unit.
C. HOW IT WORKS
The ERC contains an Enthalpy Wheel that is a new
concept in rotary air-to-air heat exchangers. Designed as
a packaged unit for ease of installation and maintenance,
the standard unit (without optional features) requires only
the connection of electrical power to make the system
operational. The Enthalpy Wheel is coated with a Silica
Gel Desiccant using a patented and proprietary process
developed by the wheel manufacturer that permanently
bonds it to the polymer substrate without adhesives.
Even after years of operation and repeated washings, the
desiccant remains in place.
Silica Gel is a highly porous solid adsorbent material
that structurally resembles a rigid sponge. Water vapor
pressures; which drives water molecules into/from the
desiccant cavities to transfer moisture from the more
humid air stream to the dryer air stream.
Enthalpy is a term representing total heat energy, meaning
sensible heat energy plus latent heat energy. Sensible
and latent heat are the two components of total heat.
Sensible heat is the energy contained in dry air and can
a given VOLUME of air. While latent heat is the energy
contained in the water vapor within moist air.
During the summer cooling season the latent heat can
only be removed by condensing that vapor below its dew
point with the optional cooling coil (water or refrigerant)
the moist supply air stream and then transferring it to the
dryer return air stream, which exhausts it to the outside.
For buildings that require a large amount of outside air to
meet ventilation codes, this greatly reduces the cooling
load on the air conditioning system. An additional load
reduction can be achieved if the unit contains the optional
Tempering Coil.
In the winter heating season this vapor transfer capability
works to increase moisture in the supply air stream by
absorbing it from the return air. This reduces the amount
occupied space during the heating season. Since the
Enthalpy Wheel transfers moisture entirely in the vapor
phase, the wheel remains dry eliminating wet surfaces
that retain dust and promote fungal growth. Because it
is always dry and constantly rotating between the supply
and exhaust air streams, which reverses the direction of
When the outdoor air temperatures are below 15°F, it is
recommended to use the optional Low Ambient Kit
VII - RECEIVING and INSPECTION
Do not attempt to operate the unit if there is indication that
any part or control has been under water. Any control or
component that has been under water must be replaced

XII - BLOWER OPERATION
A. 3 PH VOLTAGE PHASING
Three phase blower motors must be phased sequentially
to ensure correct rotation and operation. Motors are
wired in phase at the factory. Check for proper blower
at the thermostat. Correct rotation is determined by
observing the wheel from the drive side and should match
not correct, direction can be reversed by interchanging
control box. Make certain the connections are tight. Do
not reverse wires at blower contactor.
B. SPEED SETTING
All drives are factory set at mid-range.
1. Determine Required RPM - Starting with desired
supply side (outdoor air) CFM use Chart 1 on Page 40
to determine the internal static pressure (ISP) drop for
each option. Total these values and add the external
static pressure (ESP), then refer to Chart 2 on Pages
41-43. Using this total SP (ISP + ESP) value, along
with the desired CFM, determine the RPM and BHP
required at that operating point. Adjust the blower
RPM by opening or closing the motor pulley. Loosen
the Allen screw and turn adjustable pulley clockwise
to increase RPM and counterclockwise to decrease
RPM.
Repeat this process for the return (exhaust) side to
determine the RPM and BHP requirements for that blower.
C. PULLEY ALIGNMENT
All Pulleys are laser aligned in the factory during
production, movement of the pulleys is possible however
if the set screws weren’t properly torqued down during
adjustment. Make sure blower and motor pulleys are
aligned as shown in Figure 16 before commissioning is
complete.
D. BELT ADJUSTMENT
Maximum belt life can be obtained only if proper pulley
alignment and belt tension are maintained. Tighten new
belts after 24-48 hours of operation. This is necessary
to allow for belt stretch and for belts to seat into grooves.
1. Loosen four nuts securing blower motor to adjustable
base. To increase belt tension turn motor mount
adjustment screw counterclockwise. Turn adjustment
screw clockwise to decrease belt tension.
2. Check belt tension as follows:
a. Measure center distance (CD) between blower
and motor shafts as noted in Figure 17.
b. Apply force perpendicular to CD line with enough
⁄ inch per inch (1.5 mm

G. FROST CONTROL
Extremely cold outdoor air temperatures can cause
moisture condensation and frosting on the energy
recovery wheel (ERW). The temperature below which
frost will begin to accumulate is referred to as the Frost
Threshold Temperature, and is a function of both outside
temperature and indoor relative humidity (See Table 4).
ERW; therefore, without frost control, energy recovery
Frost control is an optional feature that will control wheel
frosting. Three frost Control options are available:

Exhaust Only - An exhaust temperature sensor value
will signal the controls to shutdown the supply blower
when the temperature in the exhaust quadrant reaches
temperature can only be reached when the wheel is
frosted over. Normal operation resumes after a heat rise
space, automatic or pressure operated fresh air dampers
may be required as part of the ventilation system.
Modulating Wheel Frost Control - The modulating
wheel feature uses a variable frequency drive to modulate
the wheel’s speed based on outside air temperature. The
wheels RPM will slow as the temperature drops, hence
icing up. The variable frequency drive is programmed to
not interfere with the wheel rotation sensor’s operation.
Values in Table 5 have been derived from the accepted
empirical model to allow entering supply air to remove all
water deposited on the wheel by the exhaust. This option
is best used for applications where the hours required for
frost control are limited.
Electric Pre-Heat - This is the recommended method
of preventing frost formation while ensuring required
ventilation rates for most cold climate applications. A
constant air temperature, above the frost threshold, is
TABLE 4 - FROST THRESHOLD GUIDELINES

REVT-05ERV 17
maintained entering the ERC by cycling a 2-stage electric
heat unit located just after the fresh air hood. The heater
located at the inlet of the wheel. If the temperature falls
not satisfy the load, the second stage turns on. See Pre-
Heat wiring diagram for circuit logic.
H. CO2SENSOR
Helps control indoor air quality based on CO2levels in
the occupied space. High CO2levels can either trigger
a response from the ERV unit by turning on the blowers
to bring in fresh air or by modulating the blowers if a
VFD option has been selected. See Basic Unit wiring
diagram for circuit information.
I. ROTATION SENSOR
The circuit indicates the absence of pulses, within a
detecting a magnet mounted on wheel surface. After the
initial time delay of approximately 5 seconds from circuit
power up, if the sensor fails to provide a signal pulse
(no wheel rotation) within approximately 5 additional
seconds, the alarm relay will activate the latch (until circuit
powers down) providing a 5 amp contact closure output.
This would indicate no wheel rotation and/or magnet in
the system has stopped at the magnetic sensor pickup
point. If the pulse (wheel rotation) is detected within the
approximately 5 second time period, the alarm relay will
be required.
J. SMOKE DETECTORS
Duct mounted smoke detectors can be installed in both
return and/or supply air streams. Signals from the smoke
detectors can be set to start-up or shut-down the ERV unit
if smoke is detected. See Basic Unit wiring diagram for
circuit information.
K. LOW AMBIENT KIT
Limits HVAC system operation when outdoor temperature
is below 10°F.
L. SENSIBLE-ONLY ERC
An Energy Transfer Wheel without the latent energy
transfer capability of the standard Enthalpy Wheel is
available for dry-climate application (RH less than 30%).

Reporting Value determined per ASHRAE 52.2.
N. ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Works in conjunction with optional heating and cooling
coils to temper the supply air back to ambient conditions.
Tempering the air entering the occupied pace allows
Enervent to bring in 100% outside air without putting an
additional load on the rooftop unit. The ETCS can be
entreated with a building automation system.
O. FREE AIR APPLICATION
Operation of the Energy Recovery Wheel can be altered,
sometimes referred to as Start, Stop, Jog, to take
free cooling. This is accomplished by:
from a Primary Temperature Sensor mounted in the air
energy wheel when the outdoor air temperature falls
below the set point; which is factory set at 65°F, but is
also furnished in the outdoor air intake compartment to
less that the Primary sensor. The two sensors together
create a deadband where the ERC will not operate and
free cooling can enter the building unconditioned.
P. GFCI SERVICE OUTLET

servicing.
Q. EME INTAKE LOUVERS
A fresh air hood consisting of a built-in, louvered, moisture
eliminator requiring no maintenance during the life of the
unit. This contrasts with the standard hood, which contains
The EME intake surface is parallel to front of the unit and
extends outward approximately four inches.
R. VFD BLOWER CONTROL
Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) control the blower
speed. One VFD is provided for each blower (supply and
return), as well as the ERC if Modulating frost Control
is selected.. The VFDs provided are Johnson Controls

Unit Enable (Standard)
EVT will be operational when "UNIT-EN" (Unit Enable)
of following two methods:
Occupancy signal from Bacnet: This is an option that
is used to gain control over the unit through a Bacnet
network. In order for the unit to operate, the "NOCC-S"
(Network occupancy Status) parameter must be true.
Occupancy signal from Thermostat (24VAC output): The
unit can be operated by supplying a 24VAC signal to the
occupied input in the terminal block labeled as "occ" and
"com". If the Thermostat used is of series TEC3630, then
it will automatically detect the occupancy signal, provided
Device ID: 1625.
If any of the two methods, "NOCC-S" parameter or an
occupancy input signal from thermostat are true the
sequence of operation is as follows:
1. The unit will set the "START-UP" parameter to True,
indicating unit is ready to operate.
2. The unit will turn on the wheel.
3.

5.
the blowers on.
Set Point Validation (Standard)
This mode is responsible for the validations of the user’s
inputted set points. It is important to note that the user’s
inputted set points "SAFLOW-SP-IN", "EAFLOW-SP-
IN" and "CO2-SP-IN" are not the machine’s validated
set points. The user’s inputted set points go through a
validation block that compares the set points to the unit’s
maximum and minimum capabilities. If the inputted set
point is greater than the maximum limit, the validation
block will modify the machine’s set point to the maximum
value of that particular unit. If the inputted set point is
below the machine’s minimum limit, the validation block
will modify the machine’s set point to the minimum value
of that particular unit. "SAFLOW-SP", "EAFLOW-SP" and
"CO2-SP" are validated set points for the EVT.
When the unit detects that the set points are outside the
unit’s range it will set the alarm parameters "SAFLOW-
SP-ALM", "EAFLOW-SP-ALM" and "CO2SP-ALM" to
true.
the user’s inputted set points, the user should check that
the set points are not outside the machine’s operating
range or that the unit is not engaged in a control mode.
Smoke Control Mode (Optional)
Smoke control is a mode that checks for the existence
of smoke on the return air stream. When this mode is
engaged, the unit will:
1. Set the "SMOKE-MODE" parameter to True,
indicating the unit is running on this mode.
2.
3. The unit will set the exhaust air blower speed to 90%
in order to exhaust the smoke out of the system.
4. Once this mode is disengaged the unit will:
