To 25 Ton Modulating Erv - Carrier 48HC 04-28 Controls, Start-Up, Operation And Troubleshooting

3 to 25 Ton Modulating ERV

The modulating ERV is an intelligent ERV with variable speed
fan motors. The ERV can provide a variety of volumes of out-
side air and offset it with different exhaust speeds. CO
can also be tied into it for demand controlled ventilation

Notes:
* Min CFM represents the minimum outside air CFM requirement based on CO
** Occupied also means being in the unoccupied period but configured to run.

occupancy and the rooftop's operating mode, the following
sections explain operation in detail. Refer to Fig. 15 for the
