Page 4: Controller Overview
Controller Overview The CERV’s integrated touchscreen interface and optional wireless touchscreen controller puts control of your indoor air quality literally into your hands, providing a gateway to the most advanced air quality management system available today. While the CERV uses complex algorithms and computations to optimize your indoor air quality, the touchscreen interface was built to be simple, easy to read, and intuitive. - Page 5 After reaching the Link to CERV screen, the base CERV must be put into pairing mode so the two can be linked together. Follow the instructions on the next screen to navigate to the correct screen on the base CERV. The touchscreen may be paired by either pressing the green Send Pairing Request button, or manually entering the wireless touchscreen’s wireless touchscreen ID.
- Page 6 Once the wireless touchscreen is paired, it will start receiving data from the CERV and configuration screens will be active. On the home screen of the wireless touchscreen controller, the “connected” icon will change from Revision 0.50 [06/16/2016] Page 6...

Page 7: Home Screen
Home Screen Overview: The Home Screen displays the current temperature, relative humidity, CO2, VOC, and status of the CERV. It additionally provides quick access to other screens, such as heating and cooling setpoints, timed ventilation, status and alerts, and the Main Menu. The background color of the screen, along with some of the icons will change depending on the CERV’s current operating mode. -
Page 8: Heating And Cooling Setpoints
Heating and Cooling Setpoints Overview: On this screen, you may configure your heating and cooling setpoints for the CERV. There are two paths to get to the heating and cooling setpoint screen. From the Home Screen simply press the thermometer icon or go through the Main Menu. -
Page 9: Co2/Voc And Ventilation Setpoints
CO2/VOC and Ventilation Setpoints Overview: On this screen, you may configure your ventilation setpoints for the CERV. Like the Temperature Setpoint screen, there are two paths that take you to the Ventilation Setpoints. On the left side of the screen are the CO2 and VOC sensor settings. -
Page 10: Recirculation
Recirculation Overview: Scheduled Recirculation can be used to move air throughout the home during times when the CERV would otherwise be off because no heating, cooling, or ventilation is needed. This Scheduled Recirculation setting is reached through the Comfort Menu. By setting the Scheduled Recirculation setpoint, the CERV will spend the set % of the Assessment Interval time in Recirculation Mode. -
Page 11: Trigger Ventilation
Trigger Ventilation Overview: From the Home Screen or through the Comfort Menu you can trigger a timed ventilation event. Trigger Ventilation lets you force the CERV into ventilation mode for a specified amount of time. If you are cooking or have another event that may produce moisture or odors for which you require ventilation, this function can be used. -
Page 12: Wireless Device Setup
Wireless Device Setup If you purchased the CERV with a wireless switch, active circuit transmitter, wireless touchscreen, etc., you will need to pair the device to the CERV then, if applicable, configure the functionality of the device. When pairing a device to the CERV, it is often helpful to have the wireless device located close to the CERV to ensure good communication. - Page 13 Wireless Device Configuration – Wireless Switch With wireless ventilation switches, there are several options to configure: • Ventilation Length: once the wireless ventilation switch is triggered, the CERV will ventilate for the specified period of time. • Configure Fan Speed/Link to CERV: o Configure Fan Speed: if this option is selected, a specific fan speed will be selected for this particular ventilation switch.
- Page 14 Wireless Device Configuration – Active Circuit Transmitter The Active Circuit Transmitter (ACT) option allows a remote circuit to influence the function of the CERV, much like the hardwired Auxiliary Input(s). The ACT can be installed along with a load, such as a light switch or kitchen vent hood, or even used with a separate system as a fan interlock or system shutoff.

Page 15: Wired Auxiliary Outputs
Wired Auxiliary Outputs Overview: The CERV can control external auxiliary devices with different functions through its built in Auxiliary Relay, or optional Expansion Board. The following graphic shows the path to reach the Auxiliary Output Overview screen. The base system’s Auxiliary Relay is identified as X0, while the optional expansion board (if applicable) identifies as X1-X6. - Page 16 Configuration: To set up a new auxiliary output, simply tap on the button corresponding to the desired device. Similarly, if you wish to change the configuration of an existing device, just tap the device. For some of the auxiliary output functions, you may wish to link the device to a wireless temperature, temperature/RH, or temperature/RH/CO2 sensor instead of the CERV’s built in sensors.
- Page 17 Alternately, if the Wireless Sensor option is chosen, the “activation” setpoint for the device will be a distinct value, independent of the CERV’s current mode and setpoints. Care should be taken, therefore, to ensure that setpoints are chosen in a way that does not result in conflicts between the CERV’s heating/cooling/ventilation operation and the external devices (i.e.

Page 18: Wired Auxiliary Inputs
Wired Auxiliary Inputs Overview: The Wired Auxiliary Input option allows an external device to influence the function of the CERV through either a 24VAC input or dry contact. NOTE: 24VAC/DRY CONTACT selection is configured with the small slide switch on the left side of the control board under the front plastic cover. All wiring should be done with the CERV’s power cord disconnected from mains. - Page 19 Configuration: To set up a new auxiliary input, simply tap on the button corresponding to the desired device. Similarly, if you wish to change the configuration of an existing device, just tap the device. Once the wired auxiliary input is active (sensing either 24VAC at the terminals, or sensing a dry contact closure), the CERV will immediately enter the configured mode.
- Page 20 For heat, cool, vent, and recirc, you may select either a custom fan speed for the device, or “Link to CERV”, which uses the CERV’s configured fan speeds. If configured for Ventilation: in the scenario where one or more Zone Dampers are used with the CERV, the homeowner may wish to pair the input to activate one or more zones.
-
Page 21: Cerv Operation Mode
CERV Operation Mode Overview: In most cases, you will want to use Auto Mode letting the CERV use its own internal algorithms to determine its operation based on the setpoints. There may be a scenario in which you want to specify that the CERV may only operate in ventilation mode, or that the system should remain off. -
Page 22: Ecm Fan Settings
ECM Fan Settings Overview: The inline fans included with the CERV can be configured to help maximize comfort and fresh air delivery to the home. There are three configuration settings for the inline fans: • Normal Operation: This will be the default fan speed for the system as it ventilates, recirculates, heats, and cools your home as determined by the integrated sensors. - Page 23 Recommendations: • Normal Operation: This fan setting should be chosen to achieve around 150cfm airflow to the home. • Triggered Ventilation: If you wish to purge the home as quickly as possible, this may be set up to 100% • Scheduled Recirculation: For those with noise sensitivities, a lower airflow for recirculation may be desired.

Page 24: Cerv Assessment Interval
CERV Assessment Interval Overview: When heating, cooling, and ventilation setpoints are all satisfied the CERV will turn off to save energy. By default, the CERV is set to an Assessment Interval of 10 minutes, which means that after 10 minutes of being off, the CERV will perform an assessment to see if any heating, cooling, or ventilation adjustment is needed. -
Page 25: Display Settings
Display Settings Overview: On the Display Settings screen, you can configure the auto-off feature of the screen. If there has been no interaction with the screen after the amount of time specified in Display Timeout, the touchscreen controller will turn off the screen to save power. Simply touch the screen again to turn the display back on. Disabling the auto-off feature will turn the screen on indefinitely. -
Page 26: Status & Alerts
Status & Alerts Overview: The Status & Alerts screen provides descriptions of the icons displayed in the Status & Alerts bar on the Home Screen. Clicking on the status bar in the upper right of the Home Screen takes you to the Status & Alerts Screen;... - Page 27 1103 N. High Cross Rd.
