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.
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.
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. Units designed for outdoor applications may be stored outdoors. All accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.
Indoor
Maintain temperatures evenly to prevent condensation.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid condensation, allow cold parts to reach room temperature. 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. Clearance should be provided to permit air circulation and space for inspection.
Outdoor
The unit should be placed on a level surface to prevent water from leaking into the unit. The unit should be elevated so that it is above water and snow levels.
Ensure sufficient support to prevent unit 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
While in storage, inspect units 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. If paint deterioration begins, consideration should be given to touch-up or repainting. Units 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, 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.

Piping Installation
Optional Coil Piping
Factory-installed cooling and heating components are mounted in the coil section of the unit. Note the coil connection locations on the picture. Coil connections are located external to the unit as shown.
Note: DX coil liquid connection is internal to units.
Water coil connections
DX coil liquid connection access door
Water Coils
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. Refer to Drain Trap section.
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, or thermal expansion valve (TXV) with standard models. For further instruction on
DX coil installation and operation contact your compressor and/or condenser manufacturer.
Condensate Drain Trap
This unit is equipped with a stainless steel condensate pan with a stainless steel 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 and to prevent migration of sewer gas back into the unit.
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.
Condensate Overflow Switch
This unit is equipped with an optional factory-mounted condensate overflow switch. In the event that a high level of condensate is detected, a dry contact will be powered (24 VAC). This dry contact can be used for field monitoring of condensate levels. All monitoring and control shall be provided by others.

Component Operation
Phase Monitor
The unit control circuitry includes a phase monitor that constantly checks for phase reversal, phase imbalance, loss of phase or a power brownout. When it detects a fault, it cuts off the 24 VAC that goes to the low voltage terminal strip, thereby shutting off all motors.
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)
If a VFD was provided and installed at the factory, it has been pre-set to control the speed of the blower motor for optimum performance. The motor speed needs to be verified during test and balance of the unit.
If the system was configured for Constant Air Volume
(CAV), the VFD will operate in an ON/OFF fashion and the speed of the motor will not change. If the system was configured for Variable Air Volume (VAV), the microprocessor will constantly monitor operating conditions and provide a signal to the VFD, changing the VFD output as needed.
The VFD may alternatively be connected to an external signal such as provided by a BMS and be operated by a
2-10 VDC or a 4-20 mA input.
Supply Fan VFD Sequence
Optional Room CO2 Sensor: The microprocessor will modulate the supply fan based on a comparison of the
CO2 set point to the actual CO2 levels reported from the sensor. Mechanical high static protection cutoffs must be installed by others to protect the system and equipment from over-pressurization.
Optional Duct Static Pressure Sensor: The microprocessor will modulate the supply fan based on a comparison of the duct static pressure set point to the actual duct static pressure level reported from the sensor. Mechanical high static protection cutoffs must be installed by others to protect the system and equipment from over-pressurization. The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for this.
Optional Building Static Pressure Sensor: The supply fan is modulated based upon the signal from a building static pressure sensor. The microprocessor will modulate the supply fan based on a comparison of the building static pressure set point to the actual building static pressure level reported from the sensor.
Optional Single Zone VAV: The microprocessor will use a space mounted temp sensor to vary heating and cooling capacity and the airflow delivered by the fan to maintain room-air temp at a desired set point.
Optional 0-10 VDC by others to VFD: Supply fan is modulated by a 0-10 VDC, field-provided by others.
Optional Component Operation
Exhaust Fan VFD Sequence
Optional Building Static Pressure Sensor: The exhaust fan is modulated based upon the signal from a building static pressure sensor. The microprocessor will modulate the exhaust fan based upon a comparison of the building static pressure level reported from the sensor.
Optional Outdoor Air Damper Tracking: The microprocessor will proportionally modulate the exhaust fan based upon the outdoor air damper position.
Optional Supply Tracking: The microprocessor will proportionally modulate the exhaust fan based upon the supply fan.
Optional 0-10 VDC by Others to VFD: The supply fan is modulated by a 0-10 VDC provided by others in the field.
Outdoor Air and Recirculated (Recirc) Air
Damper Sequence
Optional Room CO2 Sensor: The microprocessor will proportionally modulate the OA/RA dampers based upon a comparison of the CO2 set point to the actual
CO2 level reported from the sensor. As the CO2 level rises, the controller will proportionally modulate the outdoor air damper open, between the minimum and maximum OA position.
Optional Building Pressure: The OA/RA dampers will modulate based upon the signal from a building static pressure sensor. The controller will modulate the dampers, between the minimum and maximum OA positions, based upon a comparison of the building static pressure set point to the actual building static pressure level reported from the sensor.
Exhaust Fan Only Power
The exhaust fan will have a dedicated power circuit where in the case of a power outage, the exhaust fan will still run. A phase monitor will detect an outage or power loss and open the contact, disconnecting all power to the unit and controller. An external signal will need to be sent to a relay to power the exhaust fan, enabling the fan to run at a maximum speed. This sequence is NOT to be used for high temperature exhaust applications.
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.
Packaged Rooftop Ventilator 13
Optional Component Operation
Electronically Commutated (EC)
Condenser Fans with Standard Scroll or
Digital Scroll Compressors
The EC condenser fan will modulate up and down to maintain the highest liquid line pressure. The factory set points are: Set ( left dial ): 23 barg; Diff ( right dial ): 5 barg.
Fan operation with these set points are as follows.
The fan will be at max speed (~1140 rpm) when the highest liquid line saturation temperature is 118°F (410 psig, 28 barg). The fan remains at
Set (left dial): 23 barg;
Diff (right dial): 5 barg max speed if the pressure is higher than 410 psig (28 barg). The fan will be at min speed (~180 rpm) when the highest liquid line saturation temperature is 105°F (340 psig, 23 barg). Below this pressure, the fan will be off.
The fan modulates linearly between the min and max speeds. If unit is selected with inverter compressor, reference the supplemental Reference Guide for
Microprocessor Controller.
Airflow Monitor
A factory-wired, mounted, and powered airflow monitoring system is provided in the outdoor and/or exhaust air streams. The airflow control system offers the following functionality:
• Display of outdoor and/or exhaust airflow rate in actual cubic feet per minute (CFM) or actual liters per second (LPS) on a 16 character LCD display.
• Two configurable analog outputs for transmitting outdoor and/or exhaust airflow rate, outdoor air temperature, or a proportional-integral-derivative
(PID) control signal based on an outdoor airflow set point.
• A configurable digital output that operates based on an airflow set point or range.
Operation
Outdoor and/or exhaust airflow monitoring is accomplished using two thermal dispersion sensors that accurately measure airflow velocity down to zero feet per minute (fpm). The airflow controller takes the average measurement for two sensor configurations, and determines the outdoor airflow rate based on the effective intake area. Field calibration of the outdoor airflow monitoring device determines the effective intake area of the unit.
For additional information on how to navigate through the airflow controller menus, refer to technical manuals from GreenTrol® Automation Inc. at www.greentrol.com.
IMPORTANT
For the airflow monitoring device to perform as intended, field calibration is required. Calibration of the airflow monitoring device requires an independent measurement of airflow and should be performed when the system undergoes test and balance.
14 Packaged Rooftop Ventilator
Optional Component Operation
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 Control
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 field-adjustable.
The microprocessor controller can be interfaced with a Building Management System through LonWorks®,
BACnet®, or ModBus.
Please refer to the 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. If equipped with a room temperature and/or relative humidity sensor, the unit can cycle on to maintain unoccupied room set points if there is a call for unoccupied heating, cooling, or dehumidification.
During the unoccupied mode, the supply and exhaust
(if equipped) fans will be off unless there is a call for cooling, heating, or dehumidification in the space.
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.
Hot Gas Reheat Valve
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.
Controls by Others
The reheat coil needs to be purged to ensure adequate oil return. It is recommended that every six hours of reheat compressor run time should initiate a six minute purge cycle. During the purge cycle, the reheat valve should be modulated to 100% open to the reheat coil.

Fan Wheel Rotation Direction
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 the bearings. Refer to the Troubleshooting portion of this manual if a problem develops.
Supply/Exhaust Fan
The optional exhaust fan is a direct-drive plenum type.
Fan speed is controlled by a VFD which, in turn, is controlled by the microprocessor controller or by an external signal. Motor speed will be set on the VFD during the unit Test and Balance, but after that, the
VFD will not normally be changed. Always check the motor amperage rating shown on the motor nameplate when changing the fan RPM. All access doors must be installed except the control center door.
Vibration
Vibration Causes
Off axis or loose components
Drive component unbalance
Poor inlet / outlet conditions
Foundation stiffness
Excessive vibration may be experienced during initial start-up. Left unchecked, excessive vibration can cause a multitude of problems, including structural and/or component failure. The most common sources of vibration are listed.
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.
Generally, fan vibration and noise is transmitted to other parts of the building by the ductwork. To eliminate this undesirable effect, the use of flexible connectors is recommended.
Discharge Air Temperature Sensor
Units are supplied with a Discharge Air Temperature
Sensor that is to be field-installed prior to unit startup. The sensor is to be installed at least three duct diameters downstream of the heat exchanger.
The sensor must be connected directly to the microprocessor controller. All other sensors and low voltage devices are to be connected to the low voltage terminal strip in the control center.
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.

DANGER
Electric shock hazard. 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:
Maintenance Frequency:

28 Packaged Rooftop Ventilator
Maintenance Procedures:
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 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 wash-down 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.
Internal Filter Maintenance
- 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. Filter must be pleated design with integral metal grid. Two acceptable filter replacements are Aerostat Series 400 or Farr 30/30®.
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.
WARNING
REFER TO GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not operate this unit without the filters and birdscreen installed. 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.
External Filter Maintenance
- Aluminum mesh, 2-inch thick filters are located in the supply weatherhood (if the weatherhood option was purchased). 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
Filter cleaned by rinsing with a mild detergent in warm water prior to start-up.
Outdoor Air Intake Hood
Mesh Filter Access
Coil Maintenance
- 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. High pressure water
(700 psi or less) may be used to clean coils with a fin thickness over 0.0095 inches thick. TEST THE SPRAY
PRESSURE over a small corner of the coil to determine if the fins will withstand the spray pressure.
For coils with fragile fins or high fin density, foaming chemical sprays and washes are available. Many coil cleaners use harsh chemicals, so they must be used with caution by qualified personnel only. Care must be taken not to damage the coils, including the fins, while cleaning. Caution: Fin edges are sharp!
WARNING
Biological hazard. May cause disease. Cleaning should be performed by qualified personnel.
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. Cleaning should be performed by qualified personnel.
