OVERVIEW EV-Series Indoor 1.0 OVERVIEW 1.1 DESCRIPTION The EV450IN Energy Recovery Ventilator is a device for recovering both sensible energy (heat) and latent energy (moisture) from the Exhaust Air from an Occupied Space and injecting those energies into an incoming Outside Air stream. It accomplishes this task by forcing the NOTE: This unit is two airstreams through enthalpic cores, where the energy exchange takes place.
Upon receipt by the installer, the shipment should be inspected for shipping damage, prior to unloading. Any discovered shipping damage should be immediately reported to the RenewAire sales rep and the damage must be recorded on the Bill Of Lading, prior to signing for acceptance of the shipment.
FIGURE 3.2.0 EV450IN WEIGHTS AND COG 3.3 RECEIVING Upon receipt of the EV450IN, inspect the unit for obvious external damage. If damage is observed, take digital pictures and report the damage to your RenewAire rep. Note the damage 11/3/06 MF Scale: 1" = 24"...
UNIT PLACEMENT EV-Series Indoor For maximum air performance minimize the number of elbows, and do not place elbows within 3' of the EV450IN’s discharges. For applications where duct noise is a critical issue, use noise attenuating techniques such as duct isolation, insulation, and proper duct design per SMACNA or ASHRAE standards.
INSTALLATION EV-Series Indoor 5.0 INSTALLATION 5.1 DUCTWORK 5.1.1 Ducts to the Outside Ducts from unit to the outside must be insulated with sealed vapor barrier on both inside and outside of the insulation or with closed-cell foam insulation. We recommend you use either: 8"...

INSTALLATION EV-Series Indoor CAUTION 1. Connect only to components intended for use with 24 VAC power. 2. Do not undersize the low-voltage wires connected to this device. Observe the wire length and gauge limits indicated in this manual. 3. Do not overload this unit’s 24 VAC power supply system. Confirm that the power require- ments of devices you connect to this power supply system do not exceed 8 VA in total.
INSTALLATION EV-Series Indoor 5.5 EXTERNAL CONTROL CONNECTIONS NOTE: The sim- 5.5.1 Single 2-Wire Control, Unpowered plified schematics below show only Use the schematic shown in Figure 5.5.0; if the control requires no power to operate and acts the relevant portions of like a simple on/off switch.
OPERATION EV-Series Indoor 5.6 QUICK-START FOR TESTING CORRECT 3PH WIRING All units that run on 3 phase power should be test-run immediately after high voltage wiring NOTE: Any changes connections are made. This will verify that the three phases are properly connected, that the to unit low-voltage dampers will open and close properly and the fans are working properly.

7.0 MAINTENANCE RenewAire ERVs are built to operate with minimal maintenance. After unit commissioning, the primary areas of attention are the air filters and annual vacuuming of the enthalpic cores. See section 5.2 if doors need to be removed for servicing.
MAINTENANCE EV-Series Indoor 7.5 FAN MOTOR The motor needs no lubrication. If necessary vacuum clean the blower wheels at the same time you clean the face of the enthalpic core (annually). 7.6 ENTHALPIC CORE CAUTION RISK OF DAMAGE TO ENTHALPIC CORES Whenever working within the ERV cabinet, protect the enthalpic cores from accidental damage.
