Upon receipt of the HE4XINV, 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 on the carrier’s Bill of Lading. Depending on expected transport and storage conditions, the unit may have only the duct openings covered, it may be stretch-wrapped or it may be crated.
Section 4.2 of this manual. In addition, if the optional Bypass Economizer is ordered, additional clearance will be required for the extra bypass duct. See the RenewAire Supplemental Manual for ByPass or further information and clearance details specific to the HE4XINV units.
INSTALLATION HE-Series Indoor 4.3.3 Radiated Noise The HE4XINV is insulated with high-density fiberglass. This provides significant attenuation of radiated sound. The outlet ducts can be significant sources of radiated sound as well. The FA and EA ducts (outlet ducts) should be insulated for sound control. This insulation should start at the unit. At a minimum the first ten feet of duct should be insulated.
INSTALLATION HE-Series Indoor 5.3 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS WARNING ARC FLASH AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Disconnect all electric power supplies, verify with a voltmeter that electric power is off and wear protective equipment per NFPA 70E before working within electric control enclosure.
INSTALLATION HE-Series Indoor 5.3.2 Low Voltage Control System NOTICE This ERV is provided with a Class II 24 VAC power supply system that operates the unit’s If primary-side voltage contactor(s) for HE4XINV. The ERV’s 24 VAC Power Supply can also be used to power the is 230 VAC, move black externally-installed controls system: up to 8VA of power is available.

The control must not supply any power to the ERV. below show only the relevant portions of Install jumper (provided) between terminals 2 and 3.
INSTALLATION HE-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 connections are made. This will verify that the three phases are properly connected, that the dampers will open and close properly and the fans are working properly.
OPERATION HE-Series Indoor 6.3 UNIT STARTUP 6.3.1 Fixed-Speed Units Most fixed-speed units do not have any external controlling signals and only require turning on the disconnect switch, located on the E-Box. When the disconnect switch is turned ON, any dampers will first move into their correct operating positions and then power is suppled to the motor contactors, causing the fans to run.
Do not relocate pressure PRESSURE PORTS (4) ports. NOTE: Make sure clean filters are installed before balancing airflow. Dirty or clogged filters reduce airflow through the unit. FIGURE 6.4.0 HE4XINV PRESSURE PORT LOCATIONS www.renewaire.com (800) 627- 4499 support@renewaire.com 1.800.627.4499...
OPERATION HE-Series Indoor 6.4.3 Sheave Adjustment All fan motors that are not controlled by a VFD are equipped with an adjustable sheave. These adjustable sheaves must be re-set in the field to attain optimum performance of the ERV. This adjustment is to be done after all ductwork is connected. Adjustable sheaves are held in position on the drive motor shaft by a set screw that is normally hidden until the belt(s) is removed.
HE-Series Indoor 7.0 UNIT MAINTENANCE WARNING RenewAire ERVs are built to operate with minimal maintenance. After unit commissioning, the Danger of injury if unit primary areas of attention are the air filters, periodic lubrication of the fan motors and annual starts unexpectedly.
Do not install new belts on worn sheaves. If the sheaves have grooves worn in them, they must be replaced before new belts are installed. 7.5.3 Motor Cleanliness www.renewaire.com Removing dust and grease buildup on the motor housing assists proper cooling. Never wash-down (800) 627- 4499 support@renewaire.com...
MAINTENANCE HE-Series Indoor To access enthalpic cores for cleaning, remove the air filters. To clean enthalpic cores, all exposed surfaces must be vacuumed with an attachment having long, soft bristles. The greatest buildup of dirt and dust will normally be on the leading 1–2 inches of the inlet side (closest to the air filters).
