OVERVIEW EV130, EV200, EV240, and EV300 1.0 OVERVIEW 1.1 DEFINITIONS Energy Exchange System: Blower/Motor: Cross flow fixed-plate enthalpic energy A single high efficiency PSC motor exchange core: engineered, proprietary directly drives two large diameter NOTE: This unit is resin-media composite. Provides both centrifugal blowers for quiet operation.
UNIT PLACEMENT EV130, EV200, EV240, and EV300 2.2 LOCATION OF THE UNIT Select a location so that: The fresh air intake vent from the outside is placed a minimum of 10' from any other contaminated exhaust vent, and is at least 30" long. The two ducts to the outside are as short and straight as possible, for the best performance from the system.
CAN AN ERV BE USED TO VENTILATE BATHROOMS? FA = Fresh Air to inside A RenewAire ERV can be used as a central exhaust system in place of bathroom exhaust fans. Tie a grille in each bathroom directly back to the ERV—see Figure 2.4.0. A successful installation should provide at least 50 CFM of exhaust per moisture producing bathroom.

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).
EV130, EV200, EV240, and EV300 3.5.1 Installing Controls Optional Controls: RenewAire offers a variety of controls specifically designed to work with the EV130/200/240/300 products. These include: PTL (a two wire percentage timer), FM (a six CAUTION wire percentage timer that will interconnect with the furnace blower), and PBL (point of use Do not remove or disable push button control).
