V - Application
Unitary Energy Recovery Ventilator (UERV)are used with
3 to 6 ton rooftop units equipped with a balancing
damper assembly. These wheels conserve energy by
mixing warmer air with cooler air in the following manner:
Recovery Wheel Mode
The Recovery Wheel mode is accomplished by two
blowers providing continuous exhaust of stale indoor air
and replacement by equal amount of outdoor air. Energy
recovery is achieved by slowly rotating the energy
recovery wheel within the cassette frame work. In winter,
the UERV adsorbs heat and moisture from the exhaust air
stream during one half of a complete rotation and gives
them back to the cold, drier intake air supply during the
other half rotation. In summer, the process is automatically
reversed. Heat and moisture are absorbed from incoming
fresh air supply and transferred to the exhaust air stream.
This process allows outdoor air ventilation rates to be
increased by factors of three or more without additional
energy penalty or increase in size of heating or air
conditioning systems.

VIII - Operation
How It Works
The unit contains an Energy Recovery Wheel (ERW) that
is a new concept in rotary air-to-air heat exchanger.
Designed as a packaged unit for ease of installation and
maintenance, only matching up to rooftop unit with an
internal balancing damper and connection of electrical
power is required to make the system operational. The
concept consists of a unique rotary energy recovery wheel
that rotates in and out of fresh air streams within a heavy
duty, permanently installed blower cabinet that provides
ready access to all internal components. The media is
polymeric material that is coated and permanently bonded
with a dry desiccant for total enthalpy recovery. The wheel
is belt driven by PSC motor and drive belt.
When slowly rotating through counter flowing exhaust and
fresh air streams the UERV adsorbs sensible heat and
latent heat from the warmer air stream and transfer this
total energy to the cooler air stream during the second half
of its rotating cycle. Rotating at 60 revolutions per minute,
the wheel provides constant flow of energy from warmer to
cooler air stream. The large energy transfer surface and
laminar flow through the wheel causes this constant flow
of recovered energy to represent up to 85% of the
difference in total energy contained within the two air
streams.
Sensible and latent heat are the two components of total
heat. Sensible heat is energy contained in dry air and latent
heat is the energy contained within the moisture of the air.
The latent heat load from the outdoor fresh air on an air
conditioning system can often be two to three times that of
the sensible heat load and in the winter it is a significant
part of a humidification heat load.
During both the summer and winter, the UERV transfers
moisture entirely in the vapor phase. This eliminates wet
surfaces that retain dust and promote fungal growth as well
as the need for a condensate pan and drain to carry water.
Because it is constantly rotating when in the air stream, the
UERV is always being cleared by air, first in one direction
then the other. Because it is always dry, dust or other
particles impinging on the surface during one half cycle,
are readily removed during the next half cycle.
Additional Information for Options are provided in
Options Manual.
Recovery Mode
On a thermostat call for blower operation in heating,
cooling or continuous blower, the ERW will rotate between
fresh air and exhaust air streams. Both the fresh air and
exhaust air blowers will also be operating to overcome the
air resistance of the UERV.
Free Cooling Mode (optional)
The Start, Stop, Jog kit is an optional control board with
temperature and/or enthalpy sensor(s) that stops the
enthalpy wheel from spinning (and transferring heat) when
temperature conditions are conducive for free cooling.

PAGE 5
The board will spin the wheel intermittently in 10 min off 1
min on intervals to keep dust from building up on the
surface.
All units shipped with the Start, Stop, Jog option installed
have the temperature and enthalpy sensors installed, and
the jumper (J9) set to T(emp). A qualified tech can adjust
the setting to E(nthalpy) only or Temp and Enthalpy by
adjusting the jumper (J9).
The factory set points to allow for free cooling during
ventilation are 40oF-70oF, but they can be field adjusted to
narrow the band by adjusting two potentiometers while
measuring VDC between the Com & High or Com & Low
terminals (0 VDC = 40 degrees, low set point, 5 VDC = 70
degrees, high set point).
IX - System Check
1. Disconnect main power.
2. Remove control access panel and apply 24 volts to low
voltage terminal strip at "TB37-1(+) and TB37-2(-)".
3. Restore power to unit. Observe UERV wheel rotation
and both fresh air and exhaust air blower are
operating.
A - Return Damper Settings
Manually adjust position of dampers. This is accomplished
by loosing and tightening the wingnut on quadrant opening
the return dampers.
B - Blower Speed Adjustment
Blower speed selection is accomplished by changing the
sheave setting on both fresh air and exhaust air blowers.
Both blowers are factory set at "closed" for maximum
airflow. To determine air flow setting, external static
pressure readings will need to be read across the UERV.
See Figure 10 for location to take pressure readings.
C - Air Balancing Adjustment
1. Remove plastic plugs in door panels (4 total).
2. With a manometer measure the pressure drop [Inches
Of water column] across the wheel on the supply
airflow side of the unit (Top). The unit’s CFM is
determined by referring to Table #1. If the Cfm value is
not per design adjust the motor sheave until the
desired CFM is reached.
3. To adjust the exhaust airflow check the pressure on
the exhaust side of the unit (Bottom), then remove the
door panel to access the return air dampers installed
inside the RTUs return air section. Adjustment of the
damper is made by loosening the wingnut, adjusting
the damper blades and then tightening the wingnut
before closing the panel and measuring again.
4. Once desired the CFM is reached replace the plastic
plugs in the access holes in the doors.
X - Maintenance
Motor Maintenance
All motors use prelubricated sealed bearings; no further
lubrication is necessary.

Mechanical Inspection
Make visual inspection of dampers, linkage assemblies
and erv 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 ERW 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 UERV access panels (rear) and
unplug (J150 & P150). Refer to wiring diagram in this
instruction manual. Each segment is secured in place by a
stainless steel spring retainer located on wheel rim.
Remove one end of the stainless steel spring retainer from
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 Figure 12. Discoloration and
staining of UERV 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 Fantasticâor equivalent
middle detergent and gently rinse with warm water using a
soft brush to remove heavier accumulation. Shake excess
water from segment and replace in reverse of removal
instructions.

This could take up to 10 minutes or more. The screen
contents will change several times during the update so be
patient…
Wait until base screen reappears. Re-programming is
complete for the firmware. Now that the new firmware is
loaded it is time to restore the backup data from earlier
step. Scroll to: Status> Alarms> Summary>
Commission> Controller> Update> View Version>
Load Firmware> Backup> Restore press Enter and the
screen will request the user indicate which restore file to
use. The backup files should be named after the units
serial number. Scroll to the appropriate units serial number
on the screen and press Enter. The restore should only
take 15-20 seconds. Once the restore is complete the SE
unit control will reboot. Note: If updating a version "H"
board it may require two firmware updates to take
place. Please verify the active version of firmware after
updating.
If the unit does not reboot, restart cycle power to the unit
and wait again for re-boot start-up.
If loading more than one file, example upgrading CDR unit
from version 1, you should cycle power after loading the
first file and again after the last file is complete.
It is a good practice to conduct a "RE-LEARN" from within
the menu after the file(s) have been upgraded if the
function of the unit does not appear to be normal. Status>

IV - SE Procedures to Setup Operation for ERV
In order for the SE unit controller, SE economizer control
and ERV to operate properly the following
changes/settings will need to be performed within the SE
unit control.

Econ-En
Figure 10
3. The economizer minimum setting must be set at 50%
or greater.
Status> Alarms> Summary> Commission>
PowerEx> ERV Enable- Make sure this is set to
"Yes"
4. Once the ERV is set to "Enable" the ERV will operate
any time the unit is in the occupied mode. The ERV, if
equipped with pivoting wheel, will rotate the wheel out
of the air stream anytime the packaged units
economizer enters the free cooling mode. In order to
test for proper operation the unit must see a call for
cooling (24 vac on the Y1 terminal) and an outdoor
temperature of 55oF or less. If the outdoor ambient
temperature is above 55oF the unit may not enter free
cooling. If the ambient temperature is above 55oF the
packaged unit can be forced into free cooling mode by
doing the following:
5. Scroll through menus by pressing down on joystick:
Status> Alarms> Summary> Commission>
Controller> Update> Details,
under details press Enter then scroll to the Service
menu heading, press Enter then scroll to Inputs>
NetworkInputs, scroll to NetOAT and change it to a
setting well below the 55oF default by toggling the
joystick left or right to increase/decrease the value,
then pressing Enter to store the new value. If the
setting is now 30oF for example the unit should go into
free cooling mode within a few minutes of the
change. Note: Once the NetOAT is forced to a
temperature below 55oFit will remain at the forced
value for 15 minutes and revert back to default
settings.
For additional details on navigating, changing and
operating the SE unit control board please refer to the
SE (Smart Equipment) Controls Quick Start Guide
(Document # 1136326-USG-C-0216) that is shipped
with the packaged unit.
