Backcover Receiving Upon receiving the product check to make sure all items are accounted for by referencing the bill of lading to ensure all items were received. Inspect each crate for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify the carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier will make notification on the delivery receipt acknowledging any damage to the product. All damage should be noted on all the copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report should be filled out by the carrier upon arrival and reported to the Traffic Department. If damaged upon arrival, file claim with carrier. Any physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of manufacturer. Unpacking Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of each item have been received. If any items are missing, report shortages to your local representative to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped together due to availability of transportation and truck space. Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the bill of lading. Handling Units are to be rigged and moved by the lifting brackets provided or by the skid when a forklift is used. Location of brackets varies by model and size. Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching or chipping the coating. Damaged finish may reduce ability of unit to resist corrosion. Storage Units are protected against damage during shipment. If the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility of the unit and accessories while in storage. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user. INDOOR — The ideal environment for the storage of units and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of blowing dust, rain, or snow. Temperatures should be evenly maintained between 30°F (-1°C) and 110°F (43°C) (wide temperature swings may cause condensation and “sweating” of metal parts). All accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere. Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid “sweating” of metal parts allow cold parts to reach room temperature. To dry parts and packages use a portable electric heater to get rid of any moisture build up. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for periodic inspection. The unit should be stored at least 3½ in. (89 mm) off the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between parts and along all walls should be provided to permit air circulation and space for inspection. OUTDOOR — Units designed for outdoor applications may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads or aisles for portable cranes and hauling equipment are needed. The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent water from leaking into the unit. The unit should be elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so that it is above water and snow levels, and has enough blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground. Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation, sunlight, and space for periodic inspection. To minimize water accumulation, place all unit parts on blocking supports so that rain water will run off. Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these cause condensation of moisture from the air passing through heating and cooling cycles. Inspection and Maintenance during Storage While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a record of inspection and maintenance performed. If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the source should be located and eliminated. At each inspection, rotate the fan wheel by hand ten to fifteen revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. Every three months, the fan motor should be energized. If paint deterioration begins, consideration should be given to touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings may require special techniques for touch-up or repair. Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lint-free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Wipe thoroughly clean with Tectyl® 506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent. For hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider using Tectyl® 511M Rust Preventive or WD-40® or the equivalent. REMOVING FROM STORAGE — As units are removed from storage to be installed in their final location, they should be protected and maintained in a similar fashion, until the equipment goes into operation. Prior to installing the unit and system components, inspect the unit assembly to make sure it is in working order. 1. Check all fasteners, set screws on the fan, wheel, bearings, drive, motor base, and accessories for tightness. 2. Rotate the fan wheel(s) by hand and assure no parts are rubbing. VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator 3 Product Overview The VER units bring in fresh, outdoor air and remove stale, exhaust air. Prior to discharging the exhaust air, the energy recovery wheel transfers energy from the exhaust air to the outdoor air at an efficiency of 7080%. Simply put, this unit preconditions the outdoor air to save money on heating and cooling costs. These particular units also have cooling and heating options available after the recovery wheel to further condition the fresh air. Optional Subassemblies Dampers Backdraft dampers are always included as an integral part of the exhaust hood assemblies. Motorized outdoor air and return air dampers are optional and are factorymounted (and wired) at the intake. Hot Water / Chilled Water Coils Water coils can be used for a single purpose such as heating or cooling, or their function can be alternated between heating and cooling by changing the temperature of the water flowing through the coil. Depending on the application, it may be necessary to use a glycol mixture to prevent the liquid from freezing. The water coils are engineered to operate at pressures up to 250 PSIG and temperatures up to 300°F, but ancillary equipment such as valves and pumps will often dictate lower operating temperatures. All water coils are pressure tested at the factory with 450 PSIG of dry nitrogen. Packaged Direct Expansion (PDX) The DX system comes fully charged from the factory with refrigerant and is ready for installation upon arrival. All units come standard with two compressors. This allows for staging of compressors to meet a wider range of outdoor air loads while reducing the amount of cycles per compressor. Integral Components All units are provided with an expansion valve, hermetic scroll compressor(s), liquid line filter drier, high pressure manual reset cutout, low pressure auto-reset cutout, time delays for compressor protection, service/charging valves, moisture indicating sight glass, and optional hot gas bypass. The compressors also come standard with a crankcase heater for additional protection. Split DX The unit can be equipped with two evaporator coils that will be connected to a separate condensing unit (provided by others). Depending on controlling options, the condensing unit will be controlled by others or could receive a call for stage 1 and stage 2 of cooling with the integral microprocessor controller. The microprocessor controller will only provide a call for cooling, it will not send a digital control signal to the compressors. Piping components such as thermostatic expansion valve, filter drier, sight glass, etc., shall be field-provided. 4 VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator Electric Post-Heaters The optional post-heater is used as a heat source for the building and is integrated into the supply airstream. A temperature sensor (with a field-adjustable set point) is mounted in the supply airstream after the post-heater to turn the post-heater on. A SCR heater allows for an infinite amount of modulating control of the heat to provide an accurate discharge temperature during the call for heat. As standard, the post-heater control panel is not single point wired to the unit control center. Separate power must be supplied to the post-heater disconnect (located in unit control center). Electric heaters are available in 208, 230, 460, or 575 VAC (refer to heater nameplate for voltage). Indirect Gas Furnace An optional indirect gas furnace may be installed and provides supplementary heat to the building. Refer to the PVF/PVG Indirect Gas-Fired Heat manuals provided with the unit. A unit-specific wiring diagram is located inside the furnace housing access door. Outdoor Air Weatherhood Outdoor air weatherhood will be factory-mounted. Exhaust Air Weatherhood The exhaust weatherhood is shipped separately as a kit with its own instructions. Backdraft dampers are always included as an integral part of the exhaust hood assemblies.

Roof Curb Recommended 2-inches of Insulation Curb Cap Details 6 Control wires should not be run inside the same conduit as that carrying the supply power. Make sure that fieldsupplied conduit does not interfere with access panel operation. If wire resistance exceeds 0.75 ohms, an industrial-style plug-in relay should be added to the unit control center and wired in lieu of the remote switch (typically between terminal blocks R and G on the terminal strip (refer to Typical Control Center Components). The relay must be rated for at least 5 amps and have a 24 VAC coil. Failure to comply with these guidelines may cause motor starters to “chatter” or not pull in which can cause contactor failures and/or motor failures. Side of Unit 1in. Most factory-supplied electrical components are prewired. To determine what electrical accessories require additional field wiring, refer to the unit-specific wiring diagram located on the inside of the unit control center access door. The low voltage control circuit is 24 VAC and control wiring should not exceed 0.75 ohms. VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator Note: Standard factory-installed electric post-heaters have their own disconnect separate from the unit disconnect. Thus, each electric post-heater requires its own separate power connection. Service Clearances B ACCESS PANEL ACCESS PANEL ACCESS PANEL TL TR VER-45, 65 and 90 units require minimum clearances for access on all sides for routine maintenance. Filter replacement, drain pan inspection and cleaning, energy wheel cassette inspection, fan bearing lubrication and belt adjustment are examples of routine maintenance that must be performed. Blower and motor assemblies, energy recovery wheel cassette, coil and filter sections are always provided with a service door or panel for proper component access. Clearances for component removal may be greater than the service clearances, refer to drawings for these dimensions. Additional clearances for units with packaged DX A C ACCESS PANEL VER-90 ONLY ACCESS PANEL TL TR Clearances must be maintained on all sides of this unit.

To prevent electrocution, do not puncture the interior or exterior panels of the roof. WARNING To prevent injury or death due to electrocution or contact with moving parts, lock disconnect switch open. For units with a gas furnace, if you turn off the power supply, turn off the gas. IMPORTANT Before connecting power to the unit, read and understand the following instructions and wiring diagrams. Complete wiring diagrams are attached on the inside of the control center door(s). IMPORTANT All wiring should be done in accordance with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and any local codes that may apply. In Canada, wiring should be done in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code. IMPORTANT The equipment must be properly grounded and bonded. Any wiring running through the unit in the airstream must be protected by metal conduit, metal clad cable or raceways. CAUTION If replacement wire is required, it must have a temperature rating of at least 105°C, except for an energy cut-off or sensor lead wire which must be rated to 150°C. DANGER High voltage electrical input is needed for this equipment. This work should be performed by a qualified electrician. CAUTION Any wiring deviations may result in personal injury or property damage. Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage to, or failure of the unit caused by incorrect final wiring. WARNING If unit is equipped with a microprocessor, terminals Y1, Y2 and W1 cannot be wired to a thermostat. Wiring to these terminals will bypass unit’s internal safeties. 12 VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator 1. Determine the Size of the Main Power Lines The unit’s nameplate states the voltage and the unit’s MCA. The main power lines to the unit should be sized accordingly. The nameplate is located on the outside of the unit on the control panel side. 2. Determine the Size of Electric Heater Wiring An optional electric heater may require a separate power supply. The power connection should be made to the factory-provided electric heater disconnect and must be compatible with the ratings on the nameplate, supply power voltage, phase and amperage. Consult ANSI/NFPA 70 and CSA C22.1 for proper conductor sizing. 3. Provide the Opening(s) for the Electrical Connections Electrical openings vary by unit size and arrangement and are field-supplied. 4. Connect the Power Supplies Connect the main power lines and electric heater power lines to the disconnect switches or terminal blocks and main grounding lug(s). Torque field connections to manufacturer’s recommendations. 5. Wire the Optional Convenience Outlet The convenience outlet requires a separate 115V power supply circuit. The circuit must include short circuit protection which may need to be supplied by others. 6. Connect Field-Wired Low Voltage Components Most factory-supplied electrical components are prewired. To determine what electrical accessories require additional field-wiring, refer to the unitspecific wiring diagram located on the inside of the control center access door. If unit is equipped with a microprocessor, terminals Y1, Y2 and W1 cannot be wired to a thermostat. Wiring to these terminals will bypass unit’s internal safeties. Control wires should not be run inside the same conduit as that carrying the supply power. Make sure that field-supplied conduit does not interfere with access panel operation. All low voltage wiring should be run in conduit wherever it may be exposed to the weather. The low voltage control circuit is 24 VAC and control wiring should not exceed 0.75 ohms. If wire resistance exceeds 0.75 ohms, an isolation relay should be added to the unit control center and wired in place of the remote switch (typically between terminal blocks R and G on the terminal strip). The relay must be rated for at least 5 amps and have a 24 VAC coil. Failure to comply with these guidelines may cause motor starters to “chatter” or not pull in which can cause contactor failures and/or motor failures. Field-Provided Disconnect Typical Control Center Components If field-installing an additional disconnect switch, it is recommended that there is at least four feet of service room between the switch and system access panels. When providing or replacing fuses in a fusible disconnect, use dual element time delay fuses and size according to the rating plate. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Discharge Air Temperature Sensor Without Indirect Gas Furnace For units without an indirect gas furnace, the discharge air temperature sensor is factory-mounted in the blower discharge section of the unit behind the blower cut off plate. WARNING Discharge air temperature sensor is to be fieldinstalled prior to unit start-up on units with an indirect gas furnace. With Indirect Gas Furnace For units with an indirect gas furnace, the discharge air temperature sensor is to be field-installed prior to unit start up at least three duct diameters downstream of the heat exchanger or where good mixed average temperature occurs in the ductwork. The discharge air sensor is shipped loose and can be found in the unit’s control center. See the unit-specific wiring diagram for connection locations.

The unit gas connection is 3⁄4 inch NPT. The maximum allowable gas pressure is 14 in. wg. Ground Joint Union Gas to Controls Gas Cock From Gas Supply Bleeder Valve or 1/8 in Plugged Tap 8 in. Trap Typical Gas Supply Piping Connection Gas Connections If this unit is equipped with an indirect gas-fired furnace, connection to an appropriate gas supply line will be required. For complete information on installation procedures for the optional gas furnace, refer the PVF/PVG Indirect Gas-Fired Heat Module Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual. Optional Coil Piping Factory-installed cooling and heating components are mounted in the coil section of the unit. The coil section is downstream of the energy wheel on the supply air side of the unit. Note the coil connection locations. Coil connections are located external to the unit as shown. DX coil liquid connection access door Water coil connections Note: DX coil liquid connection is internal to units. 1. Piping should be in accordance with accepted industry standards. Pipework should be supported independently of the coils. When installing couplings, do not apply undue stress to the connection extending through the unit. Use a backup pipe wrench to avoid breaking the weld between coil connection and header. 2. Connect the water supply to the bottom connection on the air leaving side and the water return to the top connection on the air entering side. Connecting the supply and/or return in any other manner will result in very poor performance. Be sure to replace factory-installed grommets around coil connections if removed for piping. Failure to replace grommets will result in water leakage into the unit and altered performance. 3. Water coils are not normally recommended for use with entering air temperatures below 40°F. No control system can be depended on to be 100% safe against freeze-up with water coils. Glycol solutions or brines are the only safe media for operation of water coils with low entering air conditions. If glycol or brine solutions are not used, coils must be drained when freezing conditions are expected. If required, vent and drain connections must be fieldpiped, external to the unit. 4. Pipe sizes for the system must be selected on the basis of the head (pressure) available from the circulation pump. The velocity should not exceed 6 feet per second and the friction loss should be approximately 3 feet of water column per 100 feet of pipe. 5. For chilled water coils, the condensate drain pipe should be sized adequately to ensure the condensate drains properly. Direct Expansion (DX) Coils (Split DX) 1. Piping should be in accordance with accepted industry standards. Pipework should be supported independently of the coils. Undue stress should not be applied at the connection to coil headers. 2. The condensate drain pipe should be sized adequately to ensure the condensate drains properly. Refer to Condensate Drain Trap section. 3. When connecting suction and liquid connections make sure the coil is free from all foreign material. Make sure all joints are tight and free of leakage. Be sure to replace factory-installed grommets around coil connections if removed for piping. 4. Manufacturer does not supply compressor or condensing units with standard models. For further instruction on DX coil installation and operation contact your compressor and/or condenser manufacturer. VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator 15 Condensate Drain Trap This unit is equipped with a stainless steel condensate pan with a 1-inch MPT stainless steel drain connection. It is important that the drain connection be fitted with a P trap to ensure proper drainage of condensate while maintaining internal static pressures. A P trap assembly (kit) is supplied with each unit and is to be assembled and installed as local conditions require and according to the assembly instructions provided with the P trap. If local and area codes permit, the condensate may be drained back onto the roof, but a drip pad should be provided beneath the outlet. If local and area codes require a permanent drain line, it should be fabricated and installed in accordance with Best Practices and all codes. In some climates, it will be necessary to provide freeze protection for the P trap and drain line. The P trap should be kept filled with water or glycol solution at all times and it should be protected from freezing to protect the P trap from damage. If severe weather conditions occur, it may be necessary to fabricate a P trap and drain line of metal and install a heat tape to prevent freezing. 16 VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator Unit Overview Optional Component Overview Basic Unit Economizer The unit is pre-wired such that when a call for outside air is made (via field-supplied 24 VAC control signal wired to unit control center), the supply fan, exhaust fan, and energy wheel are energized and optional motorized dampers open. The energy wheel operation can be altered to take advantage of economizer operation (free cooling). Two modes are available: 1. Stopping the wheel 2. Modulating the wheel The unit can be supplied with or without heating and cooling coils. For units with coils, controls can be supplied by manufacturer or by the controls contractor. If supplied by the controls contractor, they would provide, mount, and wire any temperature controllers and temperature or relative humidity sensors required for the unit to discharge air at the desired conditions. However, temperature, pressure, and current sensors can be provided by manufacturer for purposes of monitoring via the Building Management System (BMS). Stopping the wheel: A field-supplied call for cool (Y1) is required. De-energizing the wheel is accomplished in one of three ways: 1. The outdoor air temperature is less than the outdoor dry bulb set point (DRYBLB SET) 2. The outdoor air temperature is less than the return air temperature 3. The outdoor air enthalpy is within the preset enthalpy curve A low temperature lock out (LOW T LOCK) is also set to deactivate mechanical cooling when it exceeds the outdoor air temperature (factory default 32°F). Effectively, the two sensors create a deadband where the energy recovery wheel will not operate and free cooling from outside can be brought into the building unconditioned. Summer Operation Outdoor air is preconditioned (temperature and moisture levels are decreased) by the transfer of energy from the cooler, drier exhaust air via the energy recovery wheel. Units supplied with cooling coils can further cool the air coming off the wheel and strip out moisture to levels at or below room design. A heating coil downstream of the cooling coil can reheat the air to a more comfortable discharge temperature to the space. Return Air 75°F 50% RH Exhaust Air Outdoor Air 95°F 117 grains/lb. Supply Air 79°F 75 grains/lb. Winter Operation Outdoor air is preconditioned (temperature and moisture levels are increased) by the transfer of energy from the warmer, more humid exhaust air via the energy recovery wheel. Units supplied with heating coils can further heat the air coming off the wheel to levels at or above room design. Modulating the wheel (factory): A variable frequency drive is fully programmed at the factory. A “call for cool” must be field-wired to the unit (Terminals provided in unit. Refer to wiring diagram in unit control center.) to allow for initiation of economizer mode. The unit recognizes economizer conditions based on one of the previously mention sensors and set points. The unit will then modulate the wheel speed to maintain the mixed air temperature set point (MAT SET). Modulating the wheel (by others): A variable frequency drive is fully programmed at the factory. A field-supplied 0-10 VDC signal will be required for operation of the energy wheel. The field will be required to have full control of the energy wheel speed at all times. If no 0-10 VDC signal is provided, the energy wheel will run at the factory default of 3 Hz and no energy transfer will be captured. Return Air 72°F 40% RH Exhaust Air Outdoor Air 10°F 5 grains/lb. Supply Air 60°F 39 grains/lb. VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator 17 Frost Control Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) Extremely cold outdoor air temperatures can cause moisture condensation and frosting on the energy recovery wheel. Frost control is an optional feature that will prevent/control wheel frosting. Three options are available: 1. Timed exhaust frost control 2. Electric preheat frost control 3. Modulating wheel frost control Variable frequency drives are used to control the speed of the fan as either multi-speed or modulating control. Multi-speed VFDs reference a contact which can be made by a switch or a sensor with a satisfied set point. Modulating control references a 2-10 VDC signal to the VFD which will vary the fan speed from a minimum 50% to full 100% rpm. An optional CO2 sensor is available to provide both a set point contact or a modulating 2-10 VDC signal. All of these options are provided with a thermodisc mounted in the outdoor air intake compartment and a pressure sensor to monitor pressure drop across the energy wheel. An outdoor air temperature of below 5°F and an increase in pressure drop would indicate that frost is occurring. Both the pressure sensor and the outdoor air thermodisc must trigger in order to initiate frost control. The two sensors together ensure that frost control is only initiated during a real frost condition. Timed exhaust frost control includes a timer in addition to the thermodisc and wheel pressure sensor. When timed exhaust frost control is initiated, the timer will turn the supply blower off. Time exhaust using default timer setting will shut down the supply fan for 5 minutes every 30 minutes to allow exhaust to defrost energy wheel. Use the test procedure in the Optional Components Start-Up section for troubleshooting. Electric preheat frost control includes an electric heater (at outdoor air intake) in addition to the thermodisc and pressure sensor on wheel. When electric preheat frost control is initiated, the electric preheater will turn on and warm the air entering the energy wheel to avoid frosting. Use the test procedure in the Optional Components Start-Up section for troubleshooting. Modulating wheel frost control includes a variable frequency drive (VFD) in addition to the thermodisc and pressure sensor. When modulating wheel frost control is initiated, the VFD will reduce the speed of the wheel. Reducing the speed of the energy wheel reduces its effectiveness, which keeps the exhaust air condition from reaching saturation, thus, eliminating condensation and frosting. If the outdoor air temperature is greater than the frost threshold temperature OR the pressure differential is less than the set point, the wheel will run at full speed. If the outdoor air temperature is less than 5°F AND the pressure differential is greater than the set point, the wheel will run at reduced speed until the pressure differential falls below the set point. The VFD will be fully programmed at the factory. 18 VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator CO2 Sensor This accessory is often used in Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) applications. The factory-provided sensors can either be set to reference a set point for multi-speed operation, or output a 2-10 VDC signal to modulate the fan speed. These can either be shipped loose to mount in the ductwork, or can be factory-mounted in the return air intake. Follow instructions supplied with sensor for installation and wiring details. Phase Monitor The unit control circuitry includes a phase monitor that constantly checks for phase reversal or loss of phase. When a fault is detected, it cuts off the 24 VAC that goes to the low voltage terminal strip, thereby shutting down the unit. Rotation Sensor The rotation sensor monitors energy wheel rotation. If the wheel should stop rotating, the sensor will close a set of contacts in the unit control center. Field-wiring of a light (or other alarm) between terminals R and 12 in the unit control center will notify maintenance personnel when a failure has occurred. Dirty Filter Sensor Dirty filter sensors monitor pressure drop across the outdoor air filters, exhaust air filters, or both. If the pressure drop across the filters exceeds the set point, the sensor will close a set of contacts in the unit control center. Field-wiring of a light (or other alarm) to these contacts will notify maintenance personnel when filters need to be replaced. The switch has not been set at the factory due to external system losses that will affect the switch. This switch will need minor field adjustments after the unit has been installed with all ductwork complete. The dirty filter switch is mounted in the exhaust inlet compartment next to the unit control center or in unit control center. Microprocessor Controller Hot Gas Reheat Valve The microprocessor controller is specifically designed and programmed to optimize the performance of the unit with supplemental heating and cooling. This option ensures that the outdoor air is conditioned to the desired discharge conditions. The controller and accompanying sensors are factory-mounted, wired and programmed. Default settings are pre-programmed, but are easily fieldadjustable. Units equipped with a reheat coil use a three-way valve with actuator to control the supply air discharge temperature of the unit during dehumidification mode. The unit controller provides a 0-10 VDC signal to control the amount of reheat to meet the supply temperature set point. The microprocessor controller can be interfaced with a Building Management System through LonWorks®, BACnet®, or ModBus. Please refer to the microprocessor controller for energy recovery Installation, Operation and Maintenance manual for detailed information. Unoccupied Recirculation Damper The unoccupied recirculation option provides a recirculation damper from the return air intake to the supply airstream to reduce heating and cooling loads when less ventilation is required. During the unoccupied mode, the exhaust fan will remain off and the supply air fan will operate with mode of tempering to maintain unoccupied temperature set point. Service Outlet 120 VAC GFCI service outlet ships loose for fieldinstallation. Requires separate power source so power is available when unit main disconnect is turned off for servicing. Vapor Tight Lights Vapor tight lights provide light to each of the compartments in the energy recovery unit. The lights are wired to a junction box mounted on the outside of the unit. The switch to turn the lights on is located in the unit control center. The switch requires a separate power source to allow for power to the lights when the unit main disconnect is off for servicing. Hot Gas Bypass Valve (standard scroll) On units equipped with hot gas bypass, hot gas from the compressor is injected into the liquid line of the evaporator coil after the thermostatic expansion valve. This process starts to occur when suction gas temperatures drop below 28°F, which is 32°-34°F coil surface temperature. Hot gas helps the evaporator coil from freezing up and the compressor from cycling. The valve needs to be adjusted to exact specifications once unit is installed in the field. Digital Scroll Compressor - PDX Only Refrigeration Modulation Digital scroll compressors modulate the refrigeration system, increasing performance. A conventional fixed scroll compressor runs at full load and then shuts down when user set points are reached. The digital scroll compressor modulates its cooling capacity (10-100%) by means of cycling through rapid load/no-load cycles without shutting down the compressor motor (digital control). Because it can operate at less than full load, evaporator coil temperatures are much more constant as hysteresis is improved and humidity control is enhanced. Electronic Control The use of a digital scroll compressor also requires a controller. This controller may be found in the compressor compartment of the unit. The controller works in conjunction with a microprocessor controller and requires an analog input. The controller is pre-programmed and wired and does not require any further servicing by the owner. Detailed information on the electronic control circuitry will be found on the unit-specific wiring diagram in the control center. The controller constantly monitors and controls the operation of the digital scroll compressor. LED indicator lights verify the presence of power, operation of the unloader solenoid and also indicate various alarm conditions. Two Compressor Operation Concept Whenever two compressors are used in a unit, the digital scroll compressor is part of refrigerant circuit “A”. A conventional fixed scroll compressor is used for circuit “B”. The controller requires a 1 VDC signal to verify control connection at all times. The minimum input signal that will cause the compressor to run is 1.9 volts and the maximum is 5 volts (100% cooling). Whenever there is a call for cooling, circuit A will be activated first. Circuit A will provide all necessary cooling until the call for cooling exceeds 50%. When the call for cooling reaches 50%, the digital scroll will shut down and the fixed scroll compressor will begin running. Once the call for cooling exceeds 70%, then the digital scroll will begin running again, in conjunction with the fixed scroll compressor.

Make sure all fans and compressors are rotating the correct direction. • Allow the unit to run until the refrigerant system stabilizes. Approximately 10-15 minutes. Voltage Imbalance In a three-phase system, excessive voltage imbalance between phases will cause motors to overheat and eventually fail. Maximum allowable imbalance is 2%. To determine voltage imbalance, use recorded voltage measurements in this formula. Key: V1, V2, V3 = line voltages as measured VA (average) = (V1 + V2 + V3) / 3 VD = Line voltage (V1, V2 or V3) that deviates farthest from average (VA) Formula: % Voltage Imbalance = [100 x (VA-VD)] /VA VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator 21 Check the fan belt drives for proper alignment and tension. Filters can load up with dirt during building construction. Replace any dirty pleated filters and clean the aluminum mesh filters in the intake hood. Verify that non-motorized dampers open and close properly. Check the tightness of all electrical wiring connections. Verify control wire gauge. Verify diameter seal settings on the energy recovery wheel. Unit Serial No. _____________________________________ Verify proper drain trap installation. Heat Pump Model No. ______________________________ Check condensing fans for any damage or misalignment. Spin the blades and make sure they don’t contact any parts and are free-turning without any resistance. Look over the piping system. Inspect for oil at all tubing connections. Oil typically highlights a leak in the system. Inspect all coils within the unit. Fins may get damaged in transit or during construction. Carefully straighten fins with a fin comb. If there is an indirect gas-fired furnace in this unit, refer to the manual provided with this unit for PreStart-Up information. This unit contains a crankcase heater for each compressor which needs power supplied to it 24 hours prior to start-up.

Air leakage between the two airstreams has to be kept to a minimum and the wheel has air seals that must be adjusted for that purpose. The seals must be adjusted at time of start-up. Drive Belt Inspect the drive belt. Make sure the belt rides smoothly in the pulley and around the outside of the wheel. Note the directional arrow and data information shown in the Bearing Support image. Adjustable Air Seals The unit contains one plenum supply fan located on the end of the unit opposite the outdoor air intake and may optionally have a relief air blower which is referred to as an exhaust blower in this document. Efficient fan performance can be maintained by having the correct offset. Offset: Proper offset, or overlap, is adjusted by loosening the wheel hub from the shaft and moving the wheel to the desired position along the shaft. The transition between the inlet cone and the wheel should be as shown; there is Wheel a smooth feel to the Offset profile when moving Inlet one component to the Cone other. Unit Label showing cassette serial number and date code Drive Belt Offset (inches) Tolerance (inches) QEP-15 5 ± 1⁄8 QEP-18 63⁄8 ± 1⁄8 QEP-18 63⁄8 ± 1⁄8 QEP-20 7 ± 3⁄16 QEP-20 7 ± 3⁄16 QEP-24 85⁄8 ± 1⁄4 VER-45 VER-65 Drive Pulley Adjust the Air Seals VER-90 The first step in wheel seal adjustment is to make sure the unit power supply is locked out. Disconnect the wiring to the wheel module and pull the wheel cassette out of the cabinet on its tracks. Large cassettes are not removable. Then slowly rotate the wheel by hand to make sure there is no Rettaining ng binding or misalignment. The Scr c ews s wheel should rotate smoothly and should not bind. There is a perimeter seal located around the outside of the wheel and a diameter seal across the face of the wheel on both sides. Check to make sure that all air seals are secure and in good condition. Fan Exhaust Fan CAUTION When operating conditions of the fan are to be changed (speed, pressure, temperature, etc.), consult manufacturer to determine if the unit can operate safely at the new conditions. The unit contains two forward-curved exhaust fans located on each side of the unit. These forward-curved fans should be checked for free rotation. If any binding occurs, check for concealed damage and foreign objects in the fan housing. Fan Performance Modifications Bearing Support Bar Showing air seal assembly Adjust the air seals by loosening all the air seal retaining screws on the bearing support (see image for reference). Using a piece of paper as a feeler gauge, adjust the seals so they almost touch the face of the wheel while tugging slightly on the paper. When the wheel is rotated, there should be a slight tug on the paper. Tighten the screws, repeat the steps on the other set of seals. Push the wheel cassette back into the unit and plug in the power connector. Turn the main power supply back on and then observe the operation of the wheel by opening the wheel access door slightly. Remove filters if necessary to observe the wheel. Due to job specification revisions, it may be necessary to adjust or change the sheave or pulley to obtain the desired airflow at the time of installation. The start-up technician must check blower amperage to ensure that the amperage listed on the motor nameplate is not exceeded. Amperage to be tested with access doors closed and ductwork installed. Fan Belt Drives The fan belt drive components, when supplied by manufacturer, have been carefully selected for the unit’s specific operating condition. Utilizing different components than those supplied could result in unsafe operating conditions which may cause personal injury or failure of the following components: • Fan Shaft • Bearings • Motor • Fan Wheel • Belt VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator 25 Tighten all fasteners and set screws securely and realign drive pulleys after adjustment. Check pulleys and belts for proper alignment to avoid unnecessary belt wear, noise, vibration and power loss. Motor and drive shafts must be parallel and pulleys in line (see diagrams in Belt Drive Installation section). Belt Drive Installation straightedge centerline 1. Remove the protective coating from the 0.25 in. end of the fan shaft and assure that it is free of nicks and burrs. 1.5 in. 2. Check fan and motor shafts for parallel and angular alignment. 3. Slide sheaves on shafts. Do not drive sheaves on as this may result in bearing damage. 4. Align fan and motor sheaves with a straightedge to centerline. 5. Place belts over sheaves. Do not pry or force belts, as this could result in damage to the cords in the belts. 2 in. 6. With the fan off, adjust the belt tension by moving the motor base. (Refer to Fan Pulley Belts for proper tensioning procedures alignment example in the Routine Maintenance section of this manual). When in operation, the tight side of the belts should be in a straight line from sheave to sheave with a slight bow on the slack side. Fan RPM Supply fan and exhaust fan will have an adjustable motor pulley (on 15 HP and below) preset at the factory to the customer-specified RPM. Fan speed can be increased or decreased by adjusting the pitch diameter of the motor pulley. Multi-groove variable pitch pulleys must be adjusted an equal number of turns open or closed. Any increase in fan speed represents a substantial increase in load on the motor. Always check the motor amperage reading and compare it to the amperage rating shown on the motor nameplate when changing fan RPM. All access doors must be installed except the control center door. WARNING Do not operate units with access doors open or without proper ductwork in place as the fan motors will overload. Vibration Excessive vibration may be experienced during initial start-up and can cause a multitude of problems, including structural and/or component failure. Vibration Causes Off axis or loose components Drive component unbalance Poor inlet / outlet conditions Foundation stiffness Many of these conditions can be discovered by careful observation. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual for corrective actions. If observation cannot locate the source of vibration, a qualified technician using vibration analysis equipment should be consulted. If the problem is wheel unbalance, in-place balancing can be done. WRONG WRONG WRONG CORRECT Proper alignment of motor and drive shaft. Direction of Fan Wheel Rotation Blower access is labeled on unit. Check for proper wheel rotation by momentarily energizing the fan. Rotation is determined by viewing the wheel from the drive side and should match the rotation decal affixed to the fan housing. If the wheel is rotating the wrong way, direction can be reversed by interchanging any two of the three electrical leads. Check for unusual noise, vibration, or overheating of bearings. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual if a problem develops. Rotation Rotation Airflow Forward Curved 26 VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator Generally, fan vibration and noise is transmitted to other parts of the building by the ductwork. To eliminate this undesirable effect, the use of heavy canvas connectors is recommended. Hot Gas Bypass Valve (standard scroll) To adjust, connect a pressure gauge to the suction line and block the entering air to the evaporator coil. The valve should begin to open when the suction pressure drops to approximately 115 PSIG for R-410A (the valve will feel warm to the touch). Adjustments are made by first removing the cap on the bottom of the valve and then turning the adjusting stem clockwise to increase the setting pressure (counterclockwise to decrease). Allow several minutes between adjustments for the system to stabilize. When adjustment is complete, replace the cap on the valve. Optional Components Start-Up Dirty Filter Sensor To adjust the sensor, the unit must be running with all of the access doors in place, except for the compartment where the sensor is located (exhaust intake compartment). The adjusting screw is located on the top of the switch. Setscrew (on front of switch) must be manually adjusted after the system is in operation. Negative pressure connection is toward the ‘front or top’ of the sensor. (Senses pressure on the blower side of filters) Positive pressure connection is toward the ‘back or bottom’ of the switch. (Senses pressure at air inlet side of filters) 1. Open the filter compartment and place a sheet of plastic or cardboard over 50% of the filter media. 2. Replace the filter compartment door. 3. Check to see if there is power at the alert signal leads (refer to electrical diagram). 4. Whether there is power or not, turn the adjustment screw on the dirty filter gauge (clockwise if you did not have power, counterclockwise if you did have power) until the power comes on or just before the power goes off. 5. Open the filter compartment and remove the obstructing material. 6. Replace the door and check to make sure that you do not have power at the alert signal leads. The unit is now ready for operation.

Variable Frequency Drives Factory Set Points Optional factory-installed, wired, and programmed variable frequency drives (VFDs) may have been provided for modulating or multi-speed control of the blowers and energy recovery wheel for economizer and frost control modes. One VFD, either Yaskawa model V1000 or J1000, is provided for each blower (supply air and exhaust) and one Yaskawa model J1000 is provided for the energy recovery wheel. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) for the blowers are factory set to operate in one of the three following modes: • Modulating: 0-10 VDC signal wired in the field by others varies the speed of the blower between 30 and 60 Hz • Multi-speed: Digital contact closures by others command the VFD to run at multiple speed settings: - Open - Drive runs at 60 Hz - SC to S4 - Drive runs at 40 Hz - SC to S5 - Drive runs at 30 Hz • CO2 Sensor: Set Point Control: A carbon dioxide sensor is provided from the factory for field-mounting in the space(s) being served by the energy recovery unit. The CO2 sensors are wired to the unit VFD’s with two preset speeds of 700 PPM or less CO2 = 50% fan speed and 800 PPM or greater CO2 = 100% fan speed. Proportional Control: A carbon dioxide sensor is provided from the factory for field-mounting in the space(s) being served by the energy recovery unit. The CO2 sensors are wired to the unit VFD’s with default factory settings of 500 PPM or less CO2 = 50% fan speed and 1000 PPM or greater CO2 = 100% fan speed. Modulation of VFD occurs proportional to CO2 between 500 and 1000 PPM. Most of the set points in the VFDs are Yaskawa factory defaults. However, a few set points are changed at Greenheck and are shown in the tables. These settings are based on the VFD mode selected. Refer to the tables in this section for factory settings and field-wiring requirements. Refer to the unit control center for unit specific wiring diagram. When making adjustments outside of the factory set points, refer to Yaskawa VFD instruction manual, which can be found online at www.drives.com.

Can cause injury or death. Before attempting to perform any service or maintenance, turn the electrical power to the unit to OFF at disconnect switch(es). Unit may have multiple power supplies. CAUTION Use caution when removing access panels or other unit components, especially while standing on a ladder or other potentially unsteady base. Access panels and unit components can be heavy and serious injury may occur. This unit requires minimal maintenance to operate properly. Maintenance requirements for this model vary for each installation and depend greatly on how much the system is used and the cleanliness of the air. Proper maintenance will both increase the life of the system and maintain its efficiency. Maintenance must be performed by experienced technicians and in the case of refrigeration systems, must be done by an EPA certified technician. Maintenance frequency is based on a presumed nominal use of the system. If the system is being run constantly, the frequency should be adjusted accordingly. If there is seasonal debris in the air which can be drawn into the filters and the coils, they should be checked more frequently. If the system is being used for only a few hours per day, the frequency may be reduced. Use the maintenance log at the end of this manual to record each maintenance session and observations and then establish a maintenance schedule that is appropriate for the installation. The following is provided as a guideline: Annually It is recommended that the annual inspection and maintenance occur at the start of the cooling season. After completing the checklist, follow the unit startup checklist provided in the manual to ensure the refrigeration system operates in the intended matter. 1.

They prevent the entry of foreign objects such as leaves, birds, etc. Do not remove access panels or other unit components while standing on a ladder or other unsteady base. Access panels and unit components are heavy and serious injury may occur. Lubrication Check all moving components for proper lubrication. Apply lubricant where required. Any components showing excessive wear should be replaced to maintain the integrity of the unit and ensure proper operation. Dampers Check all dampers to ensure they open and close properly and without binding. Backdraft dampers can be checked by hand to determine if blades open and close freely. Apply power to motorized dampers to ensure the actuator opens and closes the damper as designed. Gas Furnace Maintain furnace in accordance with instructions in the Indirect Gas-Fired Heat IOM shipped with this unit. Fan Belts Belts must be checked on a regular basis for wear, tension, alignment, and dirt accumulation. Premature or frequent belt failures can be caused by improper belt tension (either too loose or too tight) or misaligned sheaves. Abnormally high belt tension or drive misalignment will cause excessive bearing loads and may result in failure of the fan and/or motor bearings. Conversely, loose belts will cause squealing on start-up, excessive belt flutter, slippage, and overheated sheaves. Both loose and tight belts can cause fan vibration. When replacing belts on multiple groove drives, all belts should be changed to provide uniform drive loading. Do not pry belts on or off the sheave. Loosen belt tension until belts can be removed by simply lifting the belts off the sheaves. After replacing belts, ensure that slack in each belt is on the same side of the drive. Belt dressing should never be used. 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. Deflection = Belt Span 64 Fan Motors Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning and lubrication. Cleaning should be limited to exterior surfaces only. Removing dust and grease buildup on the motor housing assists proper cooling. Never washdown the motor with high pressure spray. Greasing of motors is only intended when fittings are provided. Fan motors typically have two grease fittings. Each motor manufacturer has different lubrication schedules for different models. Go to the motor manufacturer’s website and download their maintenance requirements. Do not over-lubricate motors or use an incompatible grease. Many fractional motors are permanently lubricated for life and require no further lubrication. Fan Wheel and Fasteners Wheels require very little attention when moving clean air. Occasionally oil and dust may accumulate on the wheel causing imbalance. When this occurs, the wheel and housing should be cleaned to assure smooth and safe operation. Inspect fan impeller and housing for fatigue, corrosion, or wear. Routinely check all fasteners, set screws and locking collars on the fan, bearings, drive, motor base and accessories for tightness. A proper maintenance program will help preserve the performance and reliability designed into the fan. Bearings Most bearings are permanently lubricated and require no further lubrication under normal use. Normal use being considered -20° to 120°F and in a relatively clean environment. Some bearings are relubricatable and will need to be regreased depending on fan use. Check your bearings for grease zerk fittings to find out what type of bearing you have. If your fan is not being operated under normal use, bearings should be checked monthly for lubrication. Shaft bearings are the most critical moving part of a fan. Therefore, special attention should be given to keeping the bearings clean and well lubricated. Proper lubrication provides for reduction in friction and wear, transmission and dissipation of heat, extended bearing life and prevention of rust. In order for a lubricant to fulfill these tasks, the proper grease applied at regular intervals is required. Belt Span The proper belt setting is the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip under peak load operation. For initial tensioning, set the belt deflection at 1/64-inch for each inch of belt span (measured half-way between sheave centers). For example, if the belt span is 64 inches, the belt deflection 32 VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator should be one inch (using moderate thumb pressure at mid-point of the drive). Check belt tension two times during the first 24 hours of operation and periodically thereafter. If unusual conditions exist—temperatures below 32°F or above 200°F, moisture or contaminants—more frequent lubrication is required. With the unit running, add grease very slowly with a manual grease gun until a slight bead of grease forms at the seal. Be careful not to unseat the seal by over lubricating or using excessive pressure. A guide to the amount of grease to be used is to fill 30% to 60% of available space in the bearing and housing. A high quality lithium based grease conforming to NLGI Grade 2 consistency should be used. Internal Filter The unit will typically be provided with 2-inch thick pleated paper filters in the airstream. These filters should be checked according to a routine maintenance schedule and replaced as necessary to ensure proper airflow through the unit. Replacement filters shall be of same performance and quality as factory-installed filters. Winterizing Coils Coil freeze-up can be caused by such things as air stratification and failure of outdoor air dampers and/ or preheat coils. Routine draining of water cooling coils for winter shutdown cannot be depended upon as insurance against freeze-up. Severe coil damage may result. It is recommended that all coils be drained as thoroughly as possible and then treated in the following manner. Filters upstream of the coil should be checked regularly. If the filters are dirty, they should be cleaned or replaced. It is important the filters stay clean to maintain desired airflow. Fill each coil independently with an antifreeze solution using a small circulating pump and again thoroughly drain. Check freezing point of antifreeze before proceeding to next coil. Due to a small amount of water always remaining in each coil, there will be diluting effect. The small amount of antifreeze solution remaining in the coil must always be concentrated enough to prevent freeze-up.

These filters should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis for best efficiency. The frequency of cleaning depends upon the cleanliness of the incoming air. These filters should be cleaned by rinsing with a mild detergent in warm water prior to start-up. Carefully read instructions for mixing antifreeze solution used. Some products will have a higher freezing point in their natural state than when mixed with water. Door Seals An EPDM foam rubber bulb seal backed with a high strength acrylic adhesive is installed on the door frame of the unit. This creates and air tight seal between the rubber seal and the door. Inspect at least annually to ensure that the seal is damage free and still intact. Coils Coils must be cleaned to maintain maximum performance. Check coils once per year under normal operating conditions and if dirty, brush or vacuum clean. Soiled fins reduce the capacity of the coil, demand more energy from the fan and create an environment for odor and bacteria to grow and spread through the conditioned zone. WARNING Biological hazard. May cause disease. Cleaning should be performed by qualified personnel only. For coils with fragile fins or high fin density, foaming chemical sprays and washes are available. Care must be taken not to damage the coils, including the fins, while cleaning. Caution: Fin edges are sharp! Drain pans in any air conditioning unit will have some moisture in them, therefore, algae and other organisms will grow due to airborne spores and bacteria. Periodic cleaning is necessary to prevent this buildup from plugging the drain and causing the drain pan to overflow. Inspect twice a year to avoid the possibility of overflow. Also, drain pans should be kept clean to prevent the spread of disease. VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator 33 Energy Wheel Maintenance WARNING Whenever performing maintenance or inspections, always disconnect the power source. Inspection The wheel should be inspected semiannually in accordance with the maintenance schedule. Maintenance of the wheel consists mainly of inspecting the wheel for cleanliness and then checking the drive motor, belt, and pulley for wear. If the wheel layers appear dirty, the wheel should be disassembled and cleaned. The wheel rotates through the two airstreams which are moving in opposite directions, the wheel is self-cleaning, up to a point. If the Energy Wheel Cassette wheel media becomes blocked by dirt or dust, or if the media collects a layer of smoke residue or an oily film, the energy transfer efficiency drops. The main factor in the frequency of cleaning is the cleanliness of the air. If air filters are not changed frequently, the wheel will collect contaminants and will then have to be cleaned. Wheel Disassembly Wheels are part of a cassette that may be pulled from the unit for easy access. There may be a small damper assembly or other components that block removal of the cassette. Before sliding out the cassette or any other component, disconnect any power supply cord and secure it so it cannot jam or otherwise get damaged. Each wheel has removable segments that hold the coated layers of media and each segment is held in place with two retaining clips located on the outer rim of the wheel. When removing more than one segment, remove them in Segment Retaining Clip sequence from opposite sides of the wheel (180 degrees apart) to reduce the imbalance. Secure the wheel against rotation. Carefully release the two retaining clips and swing them fully open. The segment can now be removed by pushing the face of the segment close to the outer rim of the wheel. Wheel segments are built to close tolerances and the segment may have to be jiggled to remove it. Do not use a hammer or otherwise force the segment because these are high value items and are not built to withstand abuse. Whenever retaining clips are opened, they should be closed as soon as possible. If the wheel should rotate when a clip is open, the clip will jam against the bearing support bar and could cause damage. 34 VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator Cleaning Maintenance or cleaning of the wheel segments should be done with the segments removed from the wheel cassette to avoid splashing liquids or cleaning agents inside the cabinet. If the energy wheel appears excessively dirty, it should be cleaned to ensure maximum operating efficiency. Only excessive buildup of foreign materials needs to be removed. DISCOLORATION AND STAINING OF ENERGY RECOVERY WHEEL DOES NOT AFFECT ITS PERFORMANCE. Thoroughly spray the wheel matrix with a household cleaner such as Fantastik™ or the equivalent. Gently rinse with warm water and use a soft brush to remove any heavy accumulations. A detergent/water solution can also be used. Avoid aggressive organic solvents, such as acetone. Wheel segments can be soaked in the above solution overnight for removal of stubborn dirt or accumulations. After cleaning is complete, shake excess water from the wheel or segments. Dry the wheel or segments before putting them back into the cassette. Reassembly When reinstalling the segments, be sure to install them with the correct face toward the motor side of the cassette. Note that one face of each segment is smooth and the other face has a reinforcing channel or support cut into the surface. Wheel Segment (Pulley Side) Wheel Segment (Motor Side) Wheel Belt Inspect belts each time filters are replaced. Belts that look chewed up or are leaving belt dust near the motor pulley may indicate a problem with the wheel. Be sure to inspect wheel for smooth and unrestricted rotation. If a belt requires replacement, contact the local manufacturer representative. Instructions for replacement will ship with the new belt. Wheel Bearing In the unlikely event that a wheel bearing fails, the bearing is behind a removable plate on the wheel support beam. Contact the local manufacturer representative for detailed instructions on how to replace the bearing.

Refer to Adjust the Air Seals found in the Start-Up Components, Energy Wheel section. Broken belt. Replace. No power to wheel motor. Make sure wheel drive is plugged in. Verify power is available. Wheel motor overloads are tripping due to rubbing between wheel and air seals. Recheck air seals, make sure they are not too tight. Refer to Adjust the Air Seals in the Start-Up Components, Energy Wheel section. VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator 39 Troubleshooting - Controller Alarms Troubleshooting - Rotation Sensor The first step in troubleshooting the unit is to check the on-board alarm indicators. Several of the electronic controls in the unit monitor the system for faults and will go into alarm, shutting down the unit or a single function within the unit. When the unit is first turned on, the LED on the back of the sensor should turn on and stay on with the wheel running. Microprocessor Controller Check the screen on the microprocessor for an alarm condition. If it is in alarm condition, a message will show on the screen. The microprocessor controller is located in the main control center. If it is in alarm condition, the alarm button will blink red. Press the alarm button to see the specific condition or to reset the microprocessor. Refer to the microprocessor controller Installation Operation and Maintenance manual for detailed information on fault codes and see the unit-specific wiring diagram. Phase Monitor The phase monitor has two LED indicator lights, one red and one green. Green indicates proper operational status, red indicates the unit has detected a fault and is in alarm condition. Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) VFDs have a display screen that will show an alarm condition. If a fault such as a voltage spike occurs, the VFD will go into alarm and will not reset until a hard restart is performed. See the unitspecific manufacturer’s manual supplied with the unit. VFDs are located in the main control center. 1. When the wheel is spinning, the contact in the rotation sensor is closed and the small LED light on the sensor in ON. 2. When the wheel is stopped there is a 10-20 second delay before the sensor will indicate no rotation. When the sensor indicates no rotation, it opens the internal contact and the LED light of OFF. 3. If the LED comes on and then shuts off after 5 seconds or less, the sensor is NOT properly set. Remove the adjustment plug and turn the adjustment screw clockwise until a slight stop is felt. Then turn the adjustment screw out 151⁄2 turns counter clockwise. The sensor is not properly set, re-install the adjustment plug. 4. If the LED comes on and then shuts off after 10-20 seconds, the sensor is properly set although it is either to close to the wheel or not close enough. It should be 1⁄8 inch from the wheel. Verify that the sensor depth was set using the appropriate gauge. When the wheel is unplugged and the unit is still powered on: 5. The LED should stay on for 10-20 seconds and then turn off. Troubleshooting - Digital Scroll Compressor Controller (PDX Only) The Fault Code chart is printed on the back of the controller. Note that if the controller generates either a Code 2 or a Code 4 Lockout, a manual reset must be performed. Manual Reset is accomplished by shutting off main power to the unit and then turning it back on. FX05 Furnace Controller Present only if an indirect gas-fired furnace option is present. The FX05 furnace controller will display an alarm condition if present. The controller will be found in the furnace control center. See the furnace Installation, Operation and Maintenance manual and the controller manufacturer’s unit-specific manual for further information.
