!
WARNING
Venmar CES equipment is not designed to be used for
temporary heating, cooling and/or ventilation during
construction.
Using Venmar CES units for temporary ventilation during construction is subject to the unit warranty terms and
should be reviewed carefully before proceeding, as this
may void the standard warranty conditions.
Fine dust, larger particulate matter, solvents, varnishes and
other chemicals may cause filter clogging and elevated
cabinet pressures, higher power consumption and possible
irreparable damage to the flat plate heat recovery module,
which could reduce energy recovery performance of the
plate, and damage to other components. Potential damages include, but are not limited to, these examples.
Installation
Unit Location Requirements
Consult local building codes and electrical codes for special installation requirements and note additional requirements listed in this manual. In choosing the installation
location of the unit, consider the following factors:
•
•
•
•
•
The HRV2000i unit is intended for indoor installation within a suspended ceiling space or mechanical
room.
The HRV2000e unit is intended for outdoor installation on a rooftop with a factory or field supplied
roofcurb.
The unit should be installed to allow easy access for
maintenance and for systems operation. See Appendix B for dimensions and recommended service and
maintenance clearances. Additional installation clearances on indoor units are provided in Appendix C.
When possible, mount the unit over an unused area
such as a hallway. Although fans and motors are
mounted on vibration pads or isolators and are dynamically balanced, the unit will be even less perceptible if positioned away from busy offices.
Locate the unit in an area requiring the least amount
of ductwork and directional changes to allow opti-

•
•
mum performance, to reduce pressure loss and to
use less electricity to achieve proper ventilation. Ductwork must be in accordance with ducting mechanical
rules to prevent sound issues and system effects.
In cold climates with −5°F [−20°C] design, an indoor
unit must be mounted in a dry area (not exceeding
30% RH) to avoid water condensation on the cabinet
during winter operation. Alternatively, accommodation must be made for condensation on the cabinet
exterior. Indoor units should be mounted in a heated
space to prevent drain lines from freezing. Do not
mount units in an area where exposure to electrical
panels or other hazards will occur.
On indoor units a mounting location close to an exterior partition will minimize the length of insulated
ductwork required. Appendix C illustrates ductwork
through exterior partitions. These should be separated by a minimum of 10 feet [3,000 mm] for Class
2 exhaust or as required by ASHRAE 62.1 to avoid
outside cross contamination.
6
•
•
•
•
The fresh air intake hood must be positioned away
from sources of contamination such as hot chimneys
or kitchen exhaust vents.
Fresh air intake must also be positioned in a direction
opposite to that of prevailing winds to reduce entry
of snow or rain.
The unit should be mounted on a level foundation to
allow condensation to flow into internal drains (when
provided). The foundation must provide adequate
continuous support to minimize deflection of the unit
base frame to not more than 1/16” [1.6 mm] over
entire length. In addition to these recommendations,
a Structural Engineer must be involved to properly
size supporting structural elements.
When floor mounting the unit indoors, if drain connections are required, mount the unit on a housekeeping pad of sufficient height to allow for drain
trap height and condensate lines to slope toward the
building drain, install condensate pumps to reduce
height of housekeeping pads or drill holes in the concrete pad or mechanical room floor for sufficient trap
height.
•
•
•
When mounting the unit on a roofcurb check the
height from the finished roof to the bottom of the
intake hood. Consult with Local Authorities or your
building code for minimal intake hood height for the
water-tight height from and above the finished roof
and, in snow prone areas the buildup of snow, to
determine the height of the roofcurb. If additional
height is required from the finished roof to the top
of the roofcurb, to the bottom of the intake hood,
if other than level or if seismic mounting is required,
custom roofcurbs must be field supplied and specified.
When mounting the unit on a roofcurb, access to the
bottom of the unit is required for connection of drain
lines and drain trap and to allow heated air from the
space to prevent drain lines from freezing.
When mounting the unit on the roof check for possibility of exhaust re-entrainment which can be caused
by placing the unit in an equipment well or within a
recirculation zone created by the interaction of the
wind and resistance of the building, in which case
extension of the exhaust discharge or outdoor intake
may be required.
Ceiling Mount (HRV2000i)
The unit must be mounted level and may be hung with
threaded rod (field supplied) through the protruding frame
at the base of the unit. Hole centers are shown in the
overall dimensional drawings in Appendix B. Do not block
access to panels as indicated in Appendix C. Rubber or
seismic vibration isolation may be required in some regions
(field supplied and specified).
Surface Mount (HRV2000e)
The unit must be mounted level and may be supported
on a factory or field supplied perimeter roofcurb. If the
unit must be secured to the roofcurb, fasteners may be attached to the base frame at the lifting points. All fasteners
and mounting hardware is field supplied and specified.
VCES-HRV-IOM-2C – HRV2000i/e

Roofcurbs Supplied by Venmar CES
Roofcurbs supplied by Venmar CES should be mounted as
follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The roofcurb is shipped knocked-down with assembly hardware and instructions provided. The roofcurb
must be field erected, assembled and set in place by
the Installing Contractor.
Roofcurb dimensions are submitted with the unit
mechanical drawings which can also be found in Appendix B and Appendix D. Outdoor air intake, supply
discharge, return air inlet and exhaust air discharge
opening locations are identified in the equipment
submittals or where alternative locations are available
from the nomenclature in the submittals or on the
unit nameplate.
After the roofcurb has been assembled, ensure that
the roofcurb dimensions suit the unit for which it is
designated.
The cross members must be positioned as per the
roofcurb drawing to properly support the ductwork
plenums for bottom vertical return and supply connections and for stability.
Ensure that the assembled roofcurb is square, plumb
and level to within 1/16” [1.6 mm] over the entire
length. The building structure must provide continuous structural support to the full perimeter of the
roofcurb and may be shimmed.
The roofcurb must be fastened to the building
structure.
The Installing Contractor is responsible for making
the roofcurb water-tight by caulking all roofcurb
joints.
IMPORTANT
The following items must be completed prior to setting
the unit on the roofcurb:
•
•
•
•
The roofcurb roofing must be completed including
insulation, cant strip, flashing and counter-flashing.
Access to the bottom of the unit is required when
mounting the unit on a roofcurb for connection of
drain lines, drain trap and to allow heated air from
the space to prevent drain lines from freezing.
Vertical ductwork must be attached to the roofcurb and building structure, not to the unit. The
ductwork can be flanged over at the top of the
perimeter opening cross members and/or curb for
an air-tight seal. See Appendix D for information on
roofcurb, installation and dimensions.
Remove the length of 3/8” [9.5 mm] polyvinyl gasket strip with adhesive backing supplied with the
roofcurb and apply a continuous strip to the top
perimeter of the roofcurb and ductwork opening
flanges/cross members for an air- and water-tight
seal as shown in Appendix D.
IMPORTANT
The gasket between the unit and the roofcurb is critical
for an air- and water-tight seal. An improperly applied
gasket can result in air and water leakage and poor unit
performance. Position the unit with equal spacing all
around between the roofcurb and inside unit base rail as
it is being lowered.
Roofcurbs Supplied by Others
Roofcurbs supplied by others must be designed with the
same dimensions and cross member arrangement as per
Venmar CES roofcurb drawings and must be designed to
evenly withstand perimeter and cross section static loads.
VCES-HRV-IOM-2C – HRV2000i/e
IMPORTANT
Venmar CES is not liable for any damages, costs or other
issues arising from roofcurbs supplied by others.
8
Rigging and Lifting the Unit
IMPORTANT
The hoods for outdoor units are not installed from
the factory and must be installed on site. They can be
installed prior to rigging the unit or after the unit is installed. Hoods are shipped on top of the unit. When rigging the unit, make certain that the hoods are secured
and are not damaged by the spreader bars. See Appendix
E for hood installation.
Units shall be lifted by cables attached to all the lifting
points provided on the unit base as shown in Appendix E.
When lifting the outdoor unit use spreader bars and cables
to prevent damage to the unit casing. Provide additional
blocking and coverings (as required) to prevent damage
to the unit finish and/or components. The spreader bars
will help to maintain a certain distance between the cables
and the unit. Venmar CES will not be responsible for any
damage caused to the unit casing during the lifting process. The lifting point must be at the center of gravity to
ensure that the unit is level during hoisting and prior to
setting. When commencing to hoist, take up the slack in
the hoisting cables slowly and gradually increase the cable
tension until the full unit weight is suspended. Avoid sudden, jerking movements. Do not permit the unit to be suspended by the lifting lugs for an extended period of time.
For weights and overall dimensions see Appendix A.
CAUTION
All panels must be in place when rigging.
Exhaust Dampers for Indoor Units
An exhaust gravity backdraft damper is included for indoor
units with the recirculation defrost option and shipped
loose for field installation. An exhaust gravity backdraft
damper or a motorized exhaust damper is available as
an accessory for other defrost options or additional use
and shipped loose for field installation. Gravity backdraft
dampers are for horizontal airflow installations only.
Dampers are non-insulated, for installed in duct installation and are ¼” [6 mm] smaller “outside of frame” than
the duct size listed. An access panel in the duct on the
upstream left hand side (facing the airstream) for the motorized damper is required for access to the actuator and
linkage which is mounted and located in the airstream.
The damper should be mounted sufficiently far enough
downstream from the exhaust fan discharge to avoid system effect added pressure losses. A straight length of duct
same size as the unit exhaust discharge and length as indicated in Field Fabricated Ductwork followed by a gradual
transition to “Duct Size” for damper and as shown in Appendix C is recommended.
VCES-HRV-IOM-2C – HRV2000i/e
Wiring for the 24V motorized exhaust air damper must
be provided and completed in the field by the Installer.
A 24V, 20 VA power supply is available for the motorized exhaust damper from the unit as shown in Appendix
F, Figure F3. Run the +24V wire connection through the
“FF” fan interlock contacts to break power to the damper
when the exhaust fan is not running as shown in Figure 3
for it to spring return closed.

Field Fabricated Ductwork
On outdoor units with bottom vertical duct connections,
secure all ducts to the roofcurb and building structure
prior to unit installation. See Roofcurbs Supplied by Venmar CES. Do not secure ductwork to the unit.
On other duct connection locations, make connections to
the casing by applying caulking around the connection
and screwing flanged ducts directly to the casing and/or
flange with self-drilling sheet metal screws. It is important
to seal all duct connections to prevent air leakage and system performance problems. Ductwork must be supported
by the building structure. For unit and duct opening sizes
refer to submittal documents or see Appendix B.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the fasteners used to make duct connection
do not interfere with fans or dampers in the unit.
Transitions may be required to make connection with ductwork that is properly sized for minimum noise and pressure loss as shown in Appendix C.
Electric pre-heat in the outdoor air duct, if used as frost
prevention on indoor units, must be installed at a minimum distance from the unit of 24” [610 mm] as shown in
Appendix C.
Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints
and roof openings with counter-flashing and mastic in
accordance with applicable codes. Ductwork running
through roof decks must comply with local fire codes.
Both duct connections to outside must be insulated to
avoid condensation and heat loss. Ducts passing through
unconditioned spaces must be insulated and covered with
a vapor barrier. Flexible connectors should be installed
close to the unit in the duct leading to occupied spaces to
minimize noise transmission.
Duct Design Considerations
The discharge ductwork immediately downstream from
the forward curved fan is critical for successful applications. Poorly designed ductwork can degrade fan performance and contributes to excessive pressure drop and
noise.
When designing ductwork in the field, it is important to
use a straight discharge duct of the same dimension as
the fan outlet connection to obtain maximum fan performance. The straight section of ductwork helps the airflow
to develop a uniform velocity profile as it exits the fan and
allows the velocity pressure to recover into static pressure.
See Figure 1.

Figure 1: Duct design
Centrifugal fan
Cutoff
Discharge duct
100% effective duct length
2½ diameters at 2,500 FPM
For 100% recovery of velocity pressure into static pressure, the straight portion of the discharge duct must be at
least 2.5 times the ‘Equivalent Duct Diameter’ of the rectangular duct connection up to 2,500 fpm outlet velocity
or less. Add one duct diameter for each additional 1,000
fpm outlet velocity to the length of the straight portion of
discharge duct. The equivalent duct diameter is equal to
square root of (4ab/Pi) where ‘a’ and ‘b’ are the rectangular dimensions of the fan discharge opening.
Refer to Appendix G to determine the effect of undersized
straight sections of duct with or without duct elbows
within the 100% minimum effective duct length (reference: AMCA publication 201, Fans and Systems).
Example:
For an HRV2000e with a supply flow rate of 2,000 cfm
with a bottom supply fan discharge connection with rectangular connection of ‘a’ = 9.5” and ‘b’ = 14” the length
of straight duct is 17” before entering a 90 degree elbow
is reached in position C as shown in Figure G1.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The equivalent duct diameter is equal to square root
of (4 x 9.5 x 14/Pi) = 16.934”
The outlet velocity is equal to
2,000 cfm/(9.5 x 14/144) = 2,165 fpm
Therefore, the minimum length of straight duct for
100% effective recovery needed would be equal to
16.934 x 2.5 = 43” rounded up to the next whole
inch
The effective straight duct was 17” long or
17/43 x 100 = 40% effective
Using Table G1, with elbow position C and 40% effective duct length, would be using a curve value,
(50−40)/(50−25) = 0.4 of the way between the ‘S’
curve at 50% and ‘P−Q’ curve at 25% for SWSI fans
From Appendix A, the HRV2000 has DWDI fans
therefore following note ‘C’ below Figure G2 would
use a 1.0 multiplier for the DWDI fans on the pressure drop curves in Figure G2
From Figure G2, at 2,165 fpm and
1.0 x (0.4 x ((P−Q)−S)+S) curve values added pressure
drop is 1.0 x (0.4 x (0.5−0.23)+0.23) = 0.34” w.c.
which must be added to the external pressure drop
for the unit
10
Drain Connections
Drain fittings are packaged inside the unit, fastened to the
drain pan. These require field installation and need to be
sealed with silicone to prevent leaking. Four connections
must be made at the bottom of the unit, which will accept
four ¾” [19 mm] NPT couplers (field supplied). Drain fittings provided with the unit will accept a ¾” [19 mm] NPT
coupler.
A water trap must be provided in the drain line to prevent
sewer gases from entering the unit. Ensure adequate slope
to the drain line to allow for good drainage (¼” per foot
[6 mm per 305 mm] recommended minimum). See Appendix H.
Drain lines must be field fabricated and supplied. Do not
solder connections when they are attached to the unit because high temperatures may damage the plastic fittings
on the unit.
IMPORTANT
Consult local building code for plumbing requirements in
your area.
Hood Installation
Intake and exhaust hoods for these models are shipped
separately from the unit. To install hoods, see Appendix
E. A quick connect for the damper motor is provided to

Systems Integration
Forced Air System
When the Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) is installed in
conjunction with a forced air system, the air handler and
the network of ducts associated with it are used to distribute fresh air inside the building. If this type of system
is used, the main fan of the air handler must operate continuously when the unit is on. Fan interlock (see Figure 3)
can be connected in the unit control box to the microprocessor control board terminals J3-1 and J3-2. The controller makes relay contact between these terminals when the
unit is operating.
Figure 3: Fan interlock
Fresh air from the HRV should be introduced into the return duct of the air handler at a point no less than 6 feet
[1,829 mm] upstream of the air handler. The duct connection for return air to the HRV should be made on the
return air duct at least 2 feet [610 mm] upstream of the
fresh air duct connection.
Separate Systems
Select locations for exhaust grilles and supply diffusers
to provide effective ventilation and avoid short circuiting
airflows through the space. Adjustable dampers should be
provided at every grille and diffuser to make balancing of
the system possible.

Start-up
Pre Start-up Procedure
Before requesting start-up, check that the installation is
complete and unit is ready. Complete the pre start-up
check list below and in Appendix K for each unit as items
are checked. For torque values on set screws, belt tension,
belt alignment, etc., check under Maintenance.
1. Check the electrical disconnect is in the ‘Off’ position.
2. Open access doors and check the unit for shipped
loose parts, obstructive packaging, objects near or
in fans, dampers, flat plate heat exchanger, etc. Remove all red tie down bolts on fan assemblies.
3. Check that the fans and motors are rotating freely.
4. Check fan wheels and drive set screws. Tighten if
required.
5. Check belt alignment and tension.
6. Check that the air filters are installed and clean.
Replace if necessary. If filters are equipped with
optional differential pressure switch, check desired
setpoint does not exceed factory setting of 0.8”w.c
[200 Pa].
7. Check damper and linkages for free movement.
8. Check that ductwork is connected and complete.
9. Check that condensate drain connections have been
trapped, installed correctly and filled.
10. Check that all shipped loose or field supplied components have been correctly installed and wired.
11. Check that all power supplies and control wiring
have been inspected and approved by the Local Authorities having jurisdiction.
12. Check all factory and field wiring connections for
tightness. Tighten if necessary.
13. Check that all fuses are properly installed in holders.
14. Check the voltage at the disconnect switch against
the nameplate and against phase-to-phase readings
on three-phase. If the voltage is not within 10% of
rated or 2% of phase-to-phase, have the condition
corrected before continuing start-up.
15. Check that all field piping, venting and wiring installation and connections for the heating and cooling
options and/or accessories (if equipped) have been
completed and tested.
16. Check and adjust thermostat setpoints.
Start-up Procedure
To ensure proper operation of each unit, qualified personnel should perform the start-up and complete the checklist
below and the start-up form in Appendix K for permanent
record. A completed checklist will provide valuable information for personnel performing future maintenance.
IMPORTANT
A completed copy must be sent back to the factory for
warranty validation and for factory assistance.
All units are factory run tested. Fans are set up to run correct when power is connected. If any one fan is running
backwards disconnect power and switch two leads (on
three-phase power) to ensure proper rotation and avoid
damage.
All units are dynamically balanced prior to shipping. However, there are certain operating speeds at which the
natural frequency of the rotating member is attuned to
the natural frequency of the unit panels, which may cause
vibrations.
These vibrations can tend to reinforce each other in such
a way that excessive vibration can be encountered under
certain conditions. It is difficult to predetermine this condition because it is affected by the mounting arrangement
and the various modules used to make up the assembly
and the duct work connections.
VCES-HRV-IOM-2C – HRV2000i/e
If the above check reveals no apparent discrepancies and
vibration is still present, the speed of the unit should be
lowered approximately 10% to determine if the natural
frequency is causing the vibration.
Under no condition should the unit(s) be allowed to continue to operate when excessive unit vibration is apparent.
Permanent damage may result which will not be covered
under the warranty if the unit is allowed to continue in
operation when excessive vibrations are evident.
1. Before proceeding complete the pre start-up checklist.
2. For the unit to start when the disconnect switch is
turned on a ventilation and fan speed call is required.
a. Check for ventilation call from the remote wall
control connection, occupied timer/sensor connection or BMS, whichever is used. See Appendix F for which terminal connections should be
closed (contacts made) once power is connected.
Circle which device is used.
b. Check for either low speed or high speed (if
equipped) call from the remote fan control, CO2
ventilation control or BMS, whichever is used.
See Appendix F for which terminal connections
should be closed (contacts made) once power is
connected. Circle which device is used.
14
c. If ‘a’ and ‘b’ are not connected, start can be
accomplished by using temporary external dry
contacts or a jumper wire closing occupied timer
contacts 3 and 4 (left side) plus low speed contacts 3 and 4 (right side) or high speed contacts
4 and 5 (right side). Check if temporary dry contacts or a jumper wire are used.
!
WARNING
Only low or high speed contacts must be closed at any
one time, never both using dry contacts/jumper wires
otherwise permanent damage to the motor and wiring
will occur.
Remote controls, if installed and connected, operate in
conjunction with the dry contacts/jumper wires. When
controlling units with remote controls, use extreme caution around moving mechanical components such as
fans, belts and motors as they can lead to severe personal
injury.
3. Check that all access panels or doors are closed.
IMPORTANT
On initial power up, the unit will perform a system check
and operate at high speed for five seconds.
4. Turn the unit disconnect switch to the ‘On’ position.
5. Check that dampers are operating properly.
6. Wait for fans to run and then shut off unit’s disconnect switch. Check that fans are rotating in the correct direction. To reverse fan rotation, interchange
two wires on load side of three-phase power supply.
VCES-HRV-IOM-2C – HRV2000i/e
7. Close all access doors and turn the unit’s disconnect
to the ‘On’ position.
8. Re-check the voltage at the disconnect switch against
the nameplate and against phase-to-phase readings on
three-phase with all fans operating. If the voltage is not
within 10% of rated or 2% of phase-to-phase have
the condition corrected before continuing start-up.
9. Check amperage draw to each motor on each phase
against motor nameplate FLA. Do not allow the motor’s amp draw to exceed the Motor Manufacturer’s
nameplate data. Excessive amp draw will cause premature failure of the motor and void the motor warranty. If significantly different, check ductwork static
and/or take corrective action.
10. Check the fan operation on Low, Com and High
(if equipped). Use a wall control or the dry contact
switching to run fan speeds as shown in Appendix F,
Wall Control Connection.
11. Check the operation of the control options and accessories provided with the unit. See Frost Control,
Sequence of Operation and Appendix F for functional
descriptions and further details.
12. Check the setpoints on thermostats and controls; adjust and record changes as required.
13. When unit has achieved steady state take measurements and complete the readings section of the
Start-up Form in Appendix K and send copy of the
Start-up Form to Venmar CES to validate warranty.
Maintain a copy of the report at the unit for future
reference.
15
Frost Control
The unit functions are controlled by an integrated microprocessor control board included in the unit (except for
Non-defrost with no wall control compatibility) as per
the frost control selected, the sequence of operation as
described below and according to the options selected as
described in Appendix F.
Exhaust Only Defrost
The exhaust only frost control cycle is electronically controlled in response to outside air temperature. On a call
for defrost, the outside air damper closes, the supply fan is
de-energized and the exhaust fan continues to draw warm
room air through the flat plate heat exchanger to remove
the buildup of ice. Frost control is initiated at an outdoor
temperature of 23°F [−5°C].The defrost/ventilation cycle is
time and temperature based per Table 2.
Recirculation Defrost
The recirculation frost control cycle is electronically controlled in response to the outside air temperature. On a
call for defrost, the outside air damper closes, the exhaust
fan is de-energized, the exhaust gravity backdraft and/or
motorized damper closes, the recirculation defrost damper
opens and the supply fan circulates warm air through the
flat plate heat exchanger to remove the buildup of ice. It
is possible to extend the frost control times during very
cold weather by removing the jumper JU1-F on the circuit
board. Frost control is initiated at an outdoor air temperature of 23°F [−5°C]. The defrost/ventilation cycle is time
and temperature based per Table 2.

dampers (if equipped) are open. If unit is singlespeed, it will come on that speed on a call for low or
high.
VCES-HRV-IOM-2C – HRV2000i/e
•
Power connected, occupied timer/sensor connection
open (unoccupied mode) – Both fans are off, frost
control damper (if equipped) opens recirculation
opening. External hood dampers (if equipped) are
closed.
Power connected, recirculation defrost option is factory installed – Recirc contacts are closed, exhaust
fan is de-energized, supply fan runs and recirculation
damper closes.
16
Airflow Balancing
For proper performance the unit must operate at the
specified supply and exhaust flow rates. Unit fan speed(s)
are theoretically set at the factory based on the ductwork
static pressures and flow rates specified with the order and
in the performance data.
If conditions change or verification is required, airflow
measurements should be taken using AMCA suggested
methods. This would normally be a velocity traverse measurement or flow measuring station (FMS) installed in the
ducts as shown in Appendix C.
It is important to locate the FMS in the ‘warm side’ ductwork to minimize the effect of differences in air density,
especially when balancing during extremely cold outside
conditions. Air density variations can affect the FMS by
more than 15%. The FMS should be located downstream
from straight sections of duct and not immediately after
fans or obstructions that will cause turbulent flow.
Setting Flow Rates
Units supplied with belt driven double width double inlet
fans have an adjustable motor sheave factory set at the
midpoint of travel at rpm for the flow rate and external
static specified. With optional VFD driven motors this factory setting is at 60 Hz.
For outdoor and exhaust, airflow rate should be balanced
with motors operating at high speed and at 60 Hz by
adjusting the motor sheave pitch diameter. The pulley set
screw torque setting is 110 in-lbs to 130 in-lbs. The VFD
can be used for fine tuning depending on sequence or as
required.
Maintenance
!
WARNING
Disconnect the main power switch to the unit before performing service and maintenance procedures.
See Appendix J for component locations, Appendix L for
troubleshooting information and Appendix M for a recommended list of routine maintenance items and time intervals. A more detailed description of major maintenance
items follows.
Air Filters
The standard medium efficiency filters are disposable and
should be replaced every three months. More frequent
replacement may be required under extremely dirty operating conditions. Replacement filters must be identical or
equivalent to original equipment in order to avoid problems with excessive pressure drop, rigidity and filtration efficiency. For filter size specifications see Appendix A.
Figure 5: Filter access
To remove the filters, remove access door. The filters can
be removed simply by sliding them forward out along the
filter tracks. There are two filters per airstream.
VCES-HRV-IOM-2C – HRV2000i/e
17
Drain Pans and Interior of Unit
!
WARNING
Disconnect the main power switch to the unit before performing service and maintenance procedures.
With the filters removed from the unit, the foil faced insulation or optional galvanized steel liner surfaces and drain
pans should be wiped clean with a soft cloth and mild
cleaning solution. Also ensure that the drain fittings are
free from dirt and are draining freely.
Fans and Motors
Belt driven fans are provided with spider bracket bearings
which come pre-lubricated from the Manufacturer and require no re-lubrication.
Fan wheels and fan housings should be checked for dirt
buildup. If they are dirty, it will be necessary to remove
the fan assembly to clean the dust out through the fan
discharge.
The fan rpm can be adjusted to achieve the design airflow
by adjusting the variable pitch motor sheave. The pulley
set screw torque setting is 110 in-lbs to 130 in-lbs.
Check for motor and pulley alignment using a straight
edge along the outside edges of the sheave or a string
placed at the center of the grove of both sheaves pulled
tight (see Figure 6). Adjust sheave position for proper
alignment.
Belt Tension Adjustment
Excessive belt tension is the number one cause of fan
bearing failure. Proper belt tension and pulley alignment
are essential for trouble free operation. A simple rule of
thumb for checking belt tension is illustrated in Figure 7.
When the belt is grasped as shown, a total deflection of
approximately 1” [25 mm] should be attained. Insufficient
deflection indicates that the belt is too tight, which may
result in noise from excessive vibration, premature bearing
failure and short belt life. Tight belts may overload a motor
that would otherwise be adequate.
Figure 7: Belt tension adjustment
Figure 6: Pulley alignment
To adjust the belt tension, loosen the two pivot bolts (#1,
Figure 8). Loosen the two adjustment bolts (#2, Figure 8).
Rotate the motor and base plate to achieve the maximum
belt deflection as described above. Tighten the drive belt
side adjustment bolt. Adjust the motor plate so that the
sheave and pulley faces are parallel and the belt is aligned.
Tighten the remaining adjustment bolt and the two pivot
bolts.

WARNING
!
Disconnect the main power switch to the unit before performing service and maintenance procedures.
Figure 8: Motor
the back of the fan assembly and isolator mounting rails
plus a neoprene bulb gasket fitted to the fan discharge
(#4, Figure 9) will allow the fan assembly and isolator
mounting rails to slide along the bottom support beam,
out from under the back hold down clip and out of the
unit. When reinstalling make certain the fan assembly and
isolator mounting rails are under the back hold down clips
to prevent fan assembly from working loose and the bulb
gasket on the fan discharge is continuous and in good
condition to prevent air leakage.

mounting rails (#3, Figure 9). Hold down clips located on
Flat Plate Heat Exchanger
CAUTION
Hot water and strong cleaning agents could damage the
heat exchanger. Ensure the heat exchanger is returned to
the unit in the correct orientation. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the exchanger. Follow instructions on
the label.
The flat plate heat exchanger must be handled with care.
Remove the flat plate heat exchangers by sliding them out
from the tracks holding them in place. In order to ensure
maximum efficiency of the partitions, it is recommended
VCES-HRV-IOM-2C – HRV2000i/e
that the heat exchanger be cleaned once a year following the season of most intense use. For aluminum and
polypropylene media, allow the heat exchanger to soak
for three hours in warm water and mild soap. Rinse under
a heavy stream of water. For HM heat exchangers, use a
vacuum cleaner or low pressure air. It is not recommended
to use solvents or detergents as these may damage the
media or structure of the heat exchanger. When replacing
the flat plate heat exchanger sections, ensure they are of
the proper vertical orientation. Failure to do so may result
in low airflow on the exhaust airstream due to system
pressure trapping or holding condensate in the flutes.

Testing and Replacement of the Damper Actuator
!
WARNING
Disconnect the main power switch to the unit before performing service and maintenance procedures.
correctly, the problem is either in the wiring connections
or main circuit board. If the actuator does not work,
it must be replaced. Loosen the nuts on the jack shaft
clamp, remove the actuator. Tighten the clamp on the
damper jack shaft. Test for proper operation.
After disconnecting the power from the unit, determine
if the actuator is defective. Disconnect the 24V power
source. Connect the actuator directly to a 24V power

Appendix F: Terminal Control Diagrams
Wall Control Connection
Occupied Timer/Sensor Connection
Three types of remote wall controls are available:
Occupancy control is achieved by connection to the terminal interface shown below. These terminals require a dry
contact which could be provided by a number of types of
controls such as a timer, light sensor, occupancy sensor,
building management system or other. The unit will not
operate unless these contacts are closed!!
14. Standard wall control with fan switch and dehumidistat control.
15. Xtra wall control with fan mode selection, dehumidistat control and maintenance indicator.
16. Aqua Air wall control with fan mode selection, dehumidistat control and high speed recirculation mode.
The remote wall controls work with the integrated electronic controls within the unit to control ventilation sequences. Each wall control above has different features
and will require four-wire connection to the unit as shown
below. Without the wall control, fans can be operated
with dry contacts or a switch as in Figure F4.
IMPORTANT
All controls accessories (ex. night setback timer, CO2
controller, enthalpy controller, smoke detector) intended
to provide a contact closure for occupancy control across
terminals 3 and 4 (left side) cannot be used in conjunction with the Xtra or Aqua Air wall controls.
If a wall control is required in addition to any of these
options, only the standard wall control may be used.
Without these options, a factory installed jumper across
terminals 3 and 4 (left side) must be installed.
The drawing below shows a factory installed jumper and
programmable timer option.

24 VAC Power Connection
Remote Fan Control
A 24V, 20 VA, power source is available using the connections shown.
Remote fan control can be achieved by connecting dry
contact controls to the terminal interface at terminals
labeled: Low–Com–High (not all units have two speeds).
Placing a jumper across the Low and Com terminals will
put the unit in low speed ventilation or placing a jumper
across the High and Com terminals will put the unit into
high speed. Do not jumper all three terminals together.
These controls could also be the following: SPDT switch,
dehumidistat, CO2 sensor, light sensor, heat sensor, timer,
building management system, etc. Figure F4 represents a
switch connected to the unit.

Dirty Filter Sensor
Unoccupied Recirc Contacts
The HRVs can be equipped with dirty filter sensors which
monitor the pressure across the filters and close the contacts when the filters become restricted with dirt. Connections on the terminal interface labeled ‘Dirty Filter
Indicator’ provide the dry contact and may be connected
as shown in Figure F5.
On recirc defrost units, an unoccupied recirc control can
be achieved by connection to the terminal interface shown
below. These terminals require a 24 VAC signal which
could be provided by a timer, thermostat or other. Closure
of these terminals will cause the unit to go into a recirc
mode where the supply fan runs on high speed and the
exhaust fan stops.

Although these contacts are intended for use during
unoccupied periods, they are still active during an occupied condition. Therefore, the 24 VAC signal should be
applied such that it is disabled during occupied periods,
preventing the unit from going into a recirc condition
unnecessarily.

CO2 Ventilation Control
Low Temperature Control
HRVs can be controlled by a CO2 controller that can be
connected to fan control Low–Com–High (not all units
have two speeds). As the CO2 levels exceed acceptable
limits, the dry contact across High–Com is closed, raising
high speed fan ventilation.
The fans of the HRV can be controlled using a setpoint low
temperature controller. If the supply air discharge temperature falls below the setpoint on the low temperature
controller, the contacts between R–W would break. This
will de-energize the fans and close the outside air damper.

Smoke Detector
Locate in a normally occupied area of premises. Recommended for compliance to NFPA-90A and IMC code 606.
HRVs can be equipped with a duct mount smoke detector
which will monitor the air when passing through the duct
system into the HRV. When sufficient smoke is detected,
an alarm condition is activated. By connecting the occupied timer/sensor contacts to the NC alarm auxiliary contacts on the duct sensor, an alarm condition will open the
auxiliary contact and stop operation of the HRV.

Finding the Actual MOP Value
From the calculated MOP value, select the next smallest
value of protection from Table I2 to get the Actual MOP
value (maximum value of overcurrent device).
IMPORTANT
If this method leads to an actual MOP value being smaller
than the calculated total MCA, then a larger value must
rather be selected, such that the actual MOP is at least
equal to the calculated total MCA.

Table K2: Start-up Checklist
Checklist Item
1
2
Yes
N/A
Before proceeding, complete the pre start-up checklist.
For the unit to start when the disconnect switch is turned on, a ventilation and fan speed call is required.
a.Is a ventilation call available from the remove wall control connection, occupied timer/sensor connection or
BMS, whichever is used? See Appendix F for which terminal connections should be closed (contacts made)
once power is connected. Circle which device is used.
b.Is either a low speed or high speed (if equipped) call available from the remote fan control, CO2 ventilation
control or BMS, whichever is used? See Appendix F for which terminal connections should be closed
(contacts made) once power is connected.
c.If ‘a’ and ‘b’ are not connected, start can be accomplished by using temporary external dry contacts or a
jumper wire closing timer contacts 3 and 4 (left side) plus low speed contacts 3 and 4 (right side) or high
speed contacts 4 and 5 (right side). Are temporary dry contacts or a jumper wire used for start?
!
WARNING
Only low or high speed contacts must be closed at any one time using dry contacts/jumper wires, not both otherwise permanent
damage to the motor and wiring will occur.
Remote controls, if installed and connected, operate in conjunction with the dry contacts/jumper wires. When controlling units
with remote controls, use extreme caution around moving mechanical components such as fans and motors as they can lead to
severe personal injury.
3
Close all access panels or doors.
Turn the unit disconnect switch to the ‘On’ position.
IMPORTANT
4
On initial power up, the unit will perform a system check and operate at high speed for five seconds.

Are dampers operating properly?
Wait for fans to run and then shut off unit’s disconnect switch. Are the fans and motors rotating in the
correct direction? To reverse fan rotation, interchange two wires on load side of three-phase power supply.
Close all access doors and turn the unit’s disconnect to the ‘On’ position.
Re-check the voltage at the disconnect switch against the nameplate and against phase-to-phase readings
on three-phase with all blowers operating. If the voltage is not within 10% of rated or 2% of phase-tophase have the condition corrected before continuing start-up.
Check amperage draw to each motor on each phase against motor nameplate FLA. Do not allow the
motor’s amp draw to exceed the Motor Manufacturer’s nameplate data. Excessive amp draw will cause
premature failure of the motor and void the motor warranty. If significantly different check ductwork static,
adjust fan motor sheave to reduce fan rpm and/or take corrective action.
Check the fan operation on Low, Com and High (if equipped). Use a wall control or the dry contact
switching to run fan speeds as shown in Appendix F.
Check the operation of the control options and accessories provided with the unit. See Frost Control,
Sequence of Operation and Appendix F for functional descriptions and further details.
Check the setpoints on thermostats and controls; adjust and record changes as required.
When unit has achieved steady state take measurements and complete readings section of start-up form for
each operating cycle to verify all components are functioning properly.
