  • Page 4: General Information

    ESA-1000 USER MANUAL 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 About Energy Solutions Air (ESA) is a Canadian manufacturer that specializes in making Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV’s) also known as heat exchangers. These HRV’s are designed and proven to help improve animal welfare, air quality, reduce greenhouse gases emissions and heating costs. Feel free to visit our website anytime at www.esair.ca We thank you for purchasing your ESA-1000 heat exchanger(s). We require that you read this manual carefully before proceeding with the installation and start-up of your heat exchanger(s). Installation and use that does not comply with the instructions in this manual are hazardous, may cause damage to your building, and will void your product warranty. Installations may vary depending on the position in which the unit(s) are installed. The illustrations in this document may differ slightly from your installation. Use the illustrations...

  • Page 5: Safety

    You read the instructions in this manual before you start installing the heat exchanger(s). The ESA-1000 heat exchanger is a heavy piece of equipment and must be installed safely and securely. If you have any doubts about your ability or how to install the heat exchanger(s), don’t hesitate to contact ESA.
  • Page 6 ESA-1000 USER MANUAL and comply with electrical codes and standards in the province or state where the unit(s) are being installed. 8. The unit(s) must not be installed within 3 feet of a furnace or other heat generating device. 9.

  • Page 16: Mounting The Esa Controller

    To prevent irregular operation of the ESA Controller, please note the following: • The ESA Controller should be installed by an accredited electrician. • Never install more than one ESA Controller per device. • Keep the low-voltage control wires at least 1 foot away from any high voltage wires/equipment. • Make sure the wires are connected securely. Before fixing the ESA Controller to the wall: 1. Unscrew the 4 screws from then ESA Controller interface panel. 2. Unplug the interface panel and place it in a safe place 3. Drill three holes under the ESA Controller housing. Be careful not to drill directly under the electrical terminals of the ESA Controller to avoid damaging them. 4. Install a ½ inch cable gland in each hole (see IMAGE 11). IMAGE 11 To fix the ESA Controller to the wall: 1. Level the ESA Controller and install it on the right side of the heat exchanger. 2. Screw the ESA Controller to the wall using the screws provided by ESA and screw the four corners of the case.
