  • Page 15 INSTALLATION GR90, EV90, EV90P 3.5 CONTROLS For an installation in which the ERV should run continuously in order to provide the required ventilation rate for the home, no controls are needed. However, in most installations, control over the unit operation is desired and this is best provided by an optional RenewAire Percentage Timer Control (PTL or FM).
  • Page 16 OPERATION GR90, EV90, EV90P See installation manuals for the control(s) you select for wiring diagrams and specific instructions. If NOT connecting controls to the EV90/P: Make a jumper out of a short piece of wire. Connect the jumper wire to the screw connections of the terminal strip on the outside of the unit.
