Although there is no electrical connection to the cabinet, there should be a nearby system disconnect switch, so service people can shut off the blowers connect to the system when changing filters.
INSTALLATION CA-Series Rooftop 2.1.1 Pull-Pull—RECOMMENDED NOTE: This bypass This is the recommended blower orientations for virtually every application. In “Pull-Pull” air volume is applications, both pull from the cabinet. lower than in most With Pull-Pull blower orientation, there is generally no need to review the static pressure competing technologies, such as heat wheels, and differences between the two airstreams.
See Rigging Information for unit weight. RenewAire strongly recommends that you secure rooftop units properly to the building struc- ture. Strong winds, tornados, and hurricanes can and do displace or remove rooftop equip- ment from rails or curbs.

OPERATION CA-Series Rooftop FIGURE 2.8.1 CA-SERIES ROOFTOP DUCTING CONFIGURATION 2 www.renewaire.com (800) 627- 4499 support@renewaire.com FIGURE 2.8.2 CA-SERIES ROOFTOP DUCTING CONFIGURATION 3 3.0 OPERATION 3.1 PRINCIPAL OF OPERATION The CA-Series Rooftop cabinet has one basic purpose: to exhaust air from a structure and bring in fresh air from outside, while transferring heating or cooling energy from the exhaust air to the fresh air.
OPERATION CA-Series Rooftop 3.3 ENERGY EXCHANGE Precise determination of installed sensible energy exchange effectiveness requires careful measurement of temperatures and air flows in all four airstreams, and in practice is somewhat difficult. It is possible to confirm that energy is being exchanged simply by feeling the ducts. If the Fresh Air duct from the unit into the room is closer to room temperature than to the outside temperature, energy is being recovered.
MAINTENANCE CA-Series Rooftop IMPORTANT Make sure all four lips of the core enter the receiver channels when re-inserting the core into the unit. CAUTION Filters must be used or the energy exchanger core will become blocked by dust and the unit will not do its job.
