Unit Preparation; Installation; Positioning The Unit - Broan ERVS100 Installation And User Manual

2 Unit Preparation

• Inspect the exterior of the unit for shipping damage.
• Unit should never operate while the building is still in construction.
• Unit is shipped with its door covered with a cardboard for protection during construction. Leave the cardboard on until painting.

3 Installation

3.1 Positioning the Unit

• Unit can be installed between 24" on-center trusses, on top of 24" on-center trusses or under the ceiling, using brackets. A set
of 4 brackets is included in the hardware kit, along with the necessary screws.
• A standard 3-prong electrical outlet has to be available within 28" of the unit and must be connected to its own dedicated circuit.
• Allow a 12" clearance for the door, core and filters to be removed for maintenance.
3.1.1 Installation in the ceiling (between 24" on-center trusses)
1. Trace a level line on both trusses, at 1/2" or 1" from the bottom, for
the unit bracket location (1/2" will allow the unit door perimeter to
lay on ceiling material while 1" will result in flush mount installation;
see A and B in next page). On one truss, screw half way on level line
two no. 8 x 1½" provided screws, leaving 23" between each other.
2. Mount the 4 brackets to the unit as illustrated at right,
using two no. 10 x 5/8" screws provided for each
bracket.
TIP: Screw half way the screws to allow adjusment
between trusses, see insets at right (left shows the
minimum distance and right the maximum distance.
3. Hang the lightest side of the unit on the screws mounted on
the truss using the larger holes of the brackets.
4. Lift the other side of the unit and secure it to the other truss
using one no. 8 x 1½" screw per bracket, inserted through
the smaller hole of the brackets.
