Mounting The Unit; Installing The Drain Connection (Optional) - Greenheck ASSURE-120S-S1 Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Mounting the Unit

Applicable Units: ASSURE-120S-S1, SYNC-110SE-S1, and SYNC-180SCE-S1
1. Using the hardware provided, install the mounting brackets on the unit. It is important to
isolate the mounting brackets from the mounting surface to minimize vibration.
2. Install the unit to the mounting surface, using the mounting brackets provided.
Note: The ASSURE-120S-S1 and SYNC-110SE-S1 can only be ceiling mounted.
The SYNC 180SCE-S1 can be either ceiling mounted or wall mounted.
Due to natural condensate accumulation, the unit must have the door hinges directed towards the floor in wall mount configuration (SYNC-

Installing the Drain Connection (Optional)

Applicable Unit: SYNC-270TCE-S1. In climates where the outdoor temperature remains above
13ºF (-25ºC) combined with an indoor humidity less than 30%, the use of a drain is optional.
During a defrost cycle, the ERV unit may produce some condensation. This water should flow
into a nearby drain, or be taken away by a condensate pump.
The ERV cabinets has pre-punched holes for the drain as illustrated in "Figure 23. Drain Holes
and P-Trap".
1. Insert the drain spout through the hole in the drain pan.
2. Tighten the nut which holds the drain spout in place.
Construct a P−Trap using the plastic tee connector as illustrated in "Figure 23. Drain Holes and
P-Trap".
1. Cut two lengths of hose and connect each piece to an end of the T fitting, then connect the
other ends to the two drain spouts.
2. Position the T fitting to point upward, and connect the drain line. Tape or fasten base to
avoid any kinks.
3. Pour a cup of water into the drain pan of the ERV after the drain connection is complete.
This creates a water seal which will prevent odors from being drawn up the hose and into
the fresh air supply of the ERV.
Condensation can accumulate and cause water damage to equipment, finished surfaces and structures.
Do not install ERV or route condensate drain lines in areas that can be subjected to freezing. Potential water damage.
Unit must be installed level to ensure proper condensation drainage. Avoid installing units above areas or equipment that are sensitive to
water damage. Connect condensate drains in accordance with national and local codes. P−Trap and tubing must be located below the ERV
