3940011 12.12 1. SYSTEM & COMPONENT DESCRIPTION 1.1 General The ENERVEX Multiple Fireplace Exhaust System is a modulating exhaust system designed specifically for the common venting and exhaust of multiple ISOKERN gas-fired fireplaces in residential, multi-story buildings. The system includes an EBC 30 Control, one or more RSV fans, an ABB Variable Frequency Drive (if applicable), an ADM automated damper, an ISOKERN IBV model fireplace and an ISOFLAMES gas log set. Each fireplace flue connects to a common vertical vent that has a RSV fan at the termination point. The EBC30 modulates the fan speed to maintain the pre-set, negative pressure in the vent.

DO NOT mount the transducer inside an airtight enclosure. It uses the room pressure as reference pressure. This installation manual is for the ENERVEX venting system and assumes that the ISOKERN fireplaces have already been installed. Installion of the ISOKERN fireplaces, the gas logs and the pilot assembly should be performed by a qualified ISOKERN technician or a certified gas service agent or supplier.
3940011 12.12 3.2 Exhaust Fan Installation Note: For more detailed installation instructions, please see the RSV Chimney Fan installation and operation manual provided with the fan. If installing a RSV 400/450, remember to REMOVE the transport securing device before installing. Fig.
3940011 12.12 3.3 Control, XTP2 and Stack Probe Installation EBC 30 To install the EBC 30: Fig. 5 1. Find an appropriate location, preferably, a mechanical room. 2. Mount the EBC 30 to the wall using the mounting holes located inside the control box. See Fig. 5. b.
3940011 12.12 Stack Probe To install the stack probe: Fig. 8 1. Use w 1/4” drill bit to drill a hole in the side of the vertical common vent. Stack Probe 2. Insert the stack probe into the vertical common XTP2 Sensor Exhaust vent at the point where the draft should be kept...
3940011 12.12 4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS 4.1 General Danger: Turn off electrical power before servicing. Contact with live electric components can cause shock or death. EBC 30 is designed for 1x120VAC power supply only. Fan output is regulating on the neutral side and cannot be connected to other circuits.
3940011 12.12 4.2 Wiring the Safety Circuit Interlock the ADM with the safety circuit of the fireplace. The actuator on the is equipped with a NO end switch circuit. The circuit closes when the damper is open and allows operation of the fireplace. If the damper closes, the circuit opens and shuts off the gas flow to the fireplace. a. Connecting to a Manual or Remote Ignition When using the manual or remote ignition options, connect a SPDT relay between the actuator and fireplace circuit. Wiring for two actuator models is shown in Fig. 11. Fig. 11...
3940011 12.12 b. Connecting to the Electronic Ignition Connect the actuator to the 120V side of the transformer in the electronic ignition box. Connect the endswitches to the mili-volt circuit as shown in Fig. 12. Fig. 12 4.3 XTP2 Connection Wire the XTP2 Sensor in ‘exhaust mode’...
3940011 12.12 4.4 Wiring the Draft System a. Three-phase Fan For systems using a 3-phase fan, a variable frequency drive (VFD) controls and modulates the fan speed. The fan connects to the VFD as shown (DO NOT connect the fan directly to the EBC 30 control).

3940011 12.12 b. Single-Phase Fan An add-on triac board is included with the EBC 30 control for systems requiring a single-phase fan. The triac board is connected via a multi plug. Verify this connection is tight before connecting the fan. Terminal descriptions of the triac board are shown in Fig. 15. Connect the fan as shown in Fig.
3940011 12.12 5. START-UP AND CONFIGURATION 5.1 Control Settings The control must be set to run in Continuous mode for this system. To do this, set dipswitch #1 to the On/Up position. The dipswitch is located on the back of the display board inside the EBC 30 control box. See the picture below.
3940011 12.12 5.4 Setting the Damper Positions To ensure equal draft to all fireplaces, each damper must be individually preset to an OPEN position. Because the fireplaces that are closer to the fan see more airflow than those farther away, the closer fireplaces do not need to be open to the full 90° to maintain the pressure set point in the connector. However, during operation, you should assume that the dampers farthest from the fireplace will be fully open to 90°. To set the damper positions: 1. Begin with the fireplace closest to the fan. 2. All dampers should be closed except for the one being set. 3. Set the damper to 45 .

3940011 12.12 6. Sequence of Operation 1. The EBC 30 initializes when 120 VAC is supplied. The control goes through its start-up sequence then displays the differential pressure reading of the XTP2. 2. The chimney fan will run continuously. When no fireplaces are on and all dampers are closed, the fan will run at an idle speed. 3. When the user calls for heat , the fireplace damper opens. The actuator is contains auxiliary switches that are connected in series to the thermal limit circuit of the fireplace burner. When the actuator moves to its open position, the auxiliary switch closes, allowing the thermal limit circuit to close.
