OPTIONAL CONTROLS

Remote Timer Touch Pad Model -PBT Touch pads are typically installed in any room where 20/40 or 60 minutes of high-speed ventilation may be desired, i.e. bathrooms and/or kitchens. Once activated by a momentary push, these buttons illuminate to indicate high speed activation. If more than one touch pad is installed in the system then all will illuminate upon activation until the timed sequence has expired. The display LEDS on the touch pad will illuminate to rep-resent the time remaining. To cancel a selection simply continue to push the select button until it turns off. Maximum number of touch pads per HRV is eight (8) and 2000 lineal ft of 18/2 thermostat wire.

Wall Mount Dehumidistat Model - CSRDEH This control is typically installed in an area of the home where humidity may require automatic monitoring. This could be a central location (i.e. near furnace thermostat) or in a specific room (i.e. kitchen, laundry etc.). Connect to HRV using 18/2 thermostat wire.

Scout Control This standard control is detachable from the HRV. Once removed from the HRV, only the power (ON/OFF) remains at the HRV. By positioning the SCOUT remotely to the HRV, you can adjust fans speeds, turn the fan off, select AUTO/OFF, intermittent or turn the main HRV control Off. When the HRV has been turned off using the SCOUT, power still remains on at the HRV ON/OFF switch, however all external controls such as touch pads and dehumidistats will not function. Intermittent- In this mode the ventilation fan will run at low speed for 20 minutes and turn off for 40 minutes. This cycle will continue until cancelled. External devices are active.

The optional Scout installation kit is required for remote mounting. Maximum number of Scout controls per HRV is one (1) with up to 400 lineal ft. of 18/2 thermostat wire.

WATCHMAN CONTROL

The WATCHMAN is an optional intermediate remote control. It permits the following function selections;

SYSTEM OFF- In this position all internal and external controls are disabled.

FAN OFF- Ventilation fan is off, cold exhaust port is closed, external devices are active.

FAN SPEED- Low, Medium or HIGH can be selected.

INTERMITTENT- In this mode the ventilation fan will run at low speed for 20 minutes and turn off for 40 minutes. This cycle will continue until cancelled. External devices are active.

AUTO/OFF-In this mode the ventilation fan remains off until activated by either the internal dehumidistat or an external control such as a touch pad or dehumidistat.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY- By rotating the control dial you can select desired levels of indoor humidity. Humidity reduction will only occur during the heating season. Should the set point be below the indoor relative humidity the HRV will automatically switch to high speed. Typically, connection leads would be distributed from a central location and connected at the HRV with a single 18/2 lead. Maximum number of Watchman or Sentinel controls per HRV is four (4) with a total of 1600 lineal ft. of 18/2 thermostat wire.

MOUNTING THE HRV

The HRV’s may be rotated 180 degrees to permit the connection of the outside air streams to either the left or right hand side. They are factory supplied to be installed with the cold air streams on the right. To install this HRV in the reverse configuration simply remove the plastic drain hole plugs from the top of the cabinet and insert into the drain holes in the bottom. Included with the HRV are four (4) laminated rubber hanging straps. These are to be secured at each of the four corners of the HRV using the screws provided. The other ends of the straps should be secured to the floor joists using large head screws. To ensure proper condensate flow, HRV must be installed level in both directions.

CONDENSATE DRAIN HOSE INSTALLATION

Two (2) drain spigot assemblies are provided. These are to be installed through the drain pan holes provided. Simply install the spigot through the openings and secure in place by installing the nylon washer and nut on the outside of the cabinet. Ensure that the drain holes that are not used are plugged with the drain plugs installed in the cabinet. Once installed, attach 1/2” plastic tubing (not supplied) to the spigots. Create a trap by forming a loop in the tubing. This will prevent the cross contamination of the air streams through the tubing. Ensure that the condensate drain tubing is not exposed to freezing temperatures. Typically the drain line is connected into a floor drain, sink or stand pipe.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSNOTICEDo not operate this device without ductwork connected.Minimum ESP (external static pressure) required is .20” per air stream.Failure to provide adequate ESP may result in the failure of the motor curcuit fuses located on the main control board.

NOTICEDo not operate this unit without ductwork attached to the this HRV.External Static pressure on each air stream must be such that the fan motor current draw on each air stream does not exceed the motor nameplate rating of 5.5 amps for model SHRV1100RD. You must confirm the correct running current draw on each fan motor.Failure to do so will result in failure of fan motor, motor fuse and or the main controller.

LOCATION

The HRV should be suspended from a supported ceiling ideally in a mechanical room proximate to an outside wall to establish outside venting and weather-hoods. This unit can only be mounted indoors and consideration should be give to the location of available power and water drainage for the unit’s condensa-tion. When installing the unit, ensure that it is level and that adequate space is allowed around the unit for easy accessibility into the access doors for service and maintenance.

DUCT SYSTEM

The Duct System must be well designed to allow the HRV to operate at its’ maximum efficiency. It is very important the Duct System must be adequately sized and includes no sharp radius bends or tees which will significantly increase the pressure drop in the Duct System and reduce air flows.Galvanized ducts must be sized for 1200 f.p.m. (6.09 m/s) maximum velocity; this is recommended to avoid excessive pressure drop and noise. Ducting should be as short as possible and use the minimum number of elbows and tees. Con-necting duct sections and shorter runs may be flexible ducting one size larger than the metal duct. The use of flexible duct connectors at the HRV will consid-erably reduce noise transmission. All duct joints must be secured with screws, rivets or duct sealant and sealed with aluminum tape.

DUCTING OUTSIDE OUTSIDE WEATHERHOODS

The Outside Weatherhoods required for operation of the SHRV2500 HRV are to be provided by the installing contractor. Weatherhoods must have built in bird screens to prevent birds and rodents from entering the premise through the ductwork. When designing and locating the fresh air intake, consideration should be given to the best place where the hoods will gather the freshest air, free from restriction.

Page 11: Summeraire Mfg. Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, K9J 6X6rblac.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/X_COMMRD...Central Heat Recovery Ventilator Product Specifications and Installation and User

11

We recommend:• No less than 10 ft. (3 m) apart from each other.• At least 18 in. (46 cm) above ground level or potential snow accumulation.• Away from sources of contaminates, such as automobile exhaust fumes, gas meters, garbage containers, cooling towers, etc.• Not exposed to prevailing winds, wherever reasonably possible.

The outside perimeter of the weatherhoods must be caulked to prevent leakage into the building. Roof vents must have adequate curb height for water protection and to be sealed to the ducting.The design and size of the weatherhoods or louvers chosen by the installer, must allow for adequate free area. Water and snow penetration of the system is minimized when the airflow does not exceed 750 fpm (3.81 m/s) free area velocity.

WEATHERHOOD DUCTING

Galvanized metal ducting with sufficient cross section and with an integral single piece vapor barrier should be used to connect to the HRV to the weatherhoods. All ducting must meet ULC Class 1 Fire Rating and the minimum R-value of the insulation should be equal to 4 (RSI 0.75), or as stated in local codes.All ducting must be well sealed to prevent air leaks and a sufficient bead of high quality caulking (preferably acoustical sealant) and taping with a high quality aluminum foil tape is recommended to seal the duct to both the HRV and the weatherhoods.

DUCTING WITHIN THE BUILDING

To reduce airflow restriction in the duct system, galvanized ducting should be used from the HRV to different areas within the building whenever possible. Also, to minimize airflow losses in the duct work system, all ducts should be as short as possible and incorporate as few elbows as possible. The use of 45 º elbows is preferred to 90 º elbows and Y tees instead of 90 º tees is also recommended.

All duct joints must be fastened securely and wrapped with a quality duct tape, such as aluminum foil tape, to prevent leakage.

NOTE: See Installation Warning under the “Integrated HVAC System “ section.

STALE AIR (RETURN) DUCT SYSTEM

The Stale Air (Return) Duct System is used to draw stale air from the points of the building where the worst air quality problems occur. Balancing damp-ers and, or, adjustable grilles are recommended on all return air lines which are used (during installation) to help balance the “ draw “ from different areas of the building. Note that the installation schematics show balancing dampers and, or, adjustable grilles on all return air lines coming back to the HRV. Please refer to figs. 1-3 to view the various installation system options.

Page 12: Summeraire Mfg. Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, K9J 6X6rblac.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/X_COMMRD...Central Heat Recovery Ventilator Product Specifications and Installation and User

12

A balancing damper is required prior to the HRV to balance the stale air exhaust-ed with the fresh air supply entering the building.

Return air extraction points should be located at the opposite side of the room to the fresh air inlet. The inlets may be located in the ceiling or high on the walls and fitted with inlet grilles.

Many commercial activities produce air contaminates in the form of dusts, fumes, vapors and gases. Contaminates should be controlled at the source so that they are not dispersed through the building nor allowed to increase to toxic concentration levels. The HRV allows for economical operation of the HVAC system, while effectively removing contaminates from the space. In designing the exhaust portion of the system, the exhaust grilles are placed so as to remove the contaminates while not allowing them to enter the breathing zone of the oc-cupants.

For contaminates that are lighter than air, grilles should be located high on the wall. If contaminates are heavier than air a lower placement of the grilles will be required. Information on contaminates specific gravity and toxicity should be available from the chemical data sheets.

Dedicated Duct System

In this arrangement the HRV is installed with a dedicated duct system. All appli-cable rooms are exhausted and provided with fresh air supply as required. The main advantage of this type of installation is it provides the ability to balance the exhaust and supply air streams for each serviced room. The HRV system can also be operated independently of the forced air heating/cooling system. Please refer to fig. below.

SUPPLY AIR DUCT SYSTEM

The fresh air supply ductwork from the HRV may be directly connected to the return air duct of the forced air system. When directly connected, it is recom-mended that the air handler blower be in constant operation to move the fresh air about the building (see warning under “The Integrated HVAC System”). Also, it is advisable to include a short length fabric flex duct or other non – metallic

Page 13: Summeraire Mfg. Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, K9J 6X6rblac.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/X_COMMRD...Central Heat Recovery Ventilator Product Specifications and Installation and User

13

connector in this hard duct line in order to keep the HRV acoustically isolated and separately grounded (electrically) from the air handler. This will avoid a possible shock hazard to service people if a short to ground develops in one of the devices. It may be necessary to install a separate fresh air supply ductwork system if the heating is other than forced air.

When installing an HRV, the designer and installer should be aware of local codes that may require smoke detectors and / or firestops in the HVAC or HRV ductwork. Because an HRV is designed to bring fresh air into the building, struc-tures may require a supply voltage interrupt when fire or smoke or flame sensors are triggered or central fire system is activated.

Supply air grilles may be ceiling or high wall mounted. Avoid incoming fresh air grilles that could cause a direct draft on the occupants as the incoming air may be below room temperature. A reheat duct heater can be installed to improve oc-cupant comfort. Information on electric or hydronic duct heaters is commercially available.

INSTALLATION TIPS

1. Whichever method is chosen to operate the SHRV600RD, keep in mind that Air – to – Air exchangers are not “ booster fans “, and are not normally sized to ventilate at a steady rate. To achieve optimum performance from the SHRV600RD, the desired ventilation rate (speed of the system) should be reached before the contami-nant has reached its’ maximum.

2. It is recommended that backdraft dampers be installed in the supply and exhaust ductwork to the outside, to prevent air from entering in through the HRV when the HRV is OFF. Failure to install backdraft dampers may result in damage to HVAC equipment and / or other building components.

INTEGRATED HVAC SYSTEM

Increasingly, the HRV has become an integral component of the commercial HVAC system. HRV’s are very versatile, being able to provide fresh air directly to the return air plenum of a rooftop heat / cool unit or into a ceiling return air plenum or directly into the ceiling space near the air handlers intake. Special care and attention should be given if connecting this unit to any air handler or other unit that may draw more than the SHRV600RD is designed to accommodate.

Installations where it is satisfactory to provide general exhaust from the space, the air to be exhausted may be taken directly from the return air plenum to the HRV as it is drawn back to the air handler. Fresh air supplied by the HRV is then introduced directly into the return air plenum but at a location closer to the air handler. The air handler would have a constant running blower to effectively

Page 14: Summeraire Mfg. Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, K9J 6X6rblac.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/X_COMMRD...Central Heat Recovery Ventilator Product Specifications and Installation and User

14

distribute the fresh air and remove the stale air. Balancing dampers would be located in both the HRV supply and exhaust ducts between the return air plenum and the HRV.

ELECTRICAL

An external disconnect must be installed prior to the HRV. This disconnect shall be turned off and locked out before servicing the unit. All electrical connections shall be made by a qualified, and where required by law, a licensed electrician.

Interior Ducting

Ducting to the central forced air ductwork system, or if used, a dedicated duct system, should be made of galvanized metal whenever possible.

To minimize airflow losses, runs should be kept as short as possible using 45 degree elbows instead of 90 degree. Whenever possible use “Y” fittings instead of “T” fittings.

All joints must be fastened with screws, rivets or duct sealant and wrapped with a quality duct tape to prevent leakage. If standard grills are used, it is recommended that wall grills of not less than 6” x 12” and floor grills of no less than 4” x 10” be used to minimize air flow restrictions.

Fresh Air Supply Ducting

Fresh air supply grills may be either wall or ceiling mounted. Avoid locating these grills where room occupants may be exposed to the fresh air supply as this air temperature may be slightly less than the room air temperature.

Stale Air Return System

The stale air return system is used to extract humid, stale air from the areas of the dwelling where the worst air quality conditions might exist.

Note: Check local code compliance before implementing.

Air Flow BalancingREAD THE APPLICATION WARNING AT THE FRONT OF THIS MANUAL.

A magnehelic gauge and pilot tube flow measuring system is used for easy and accurate air flow measurement

Upon completion of the installation it is necessary that the Ventilation System be balanced. This is necessary to ensure that the volume of air being exhausted from the dwelling is equal to the volume of air being supplied. Balancing will also ensure that the HRV is operating at it’s maximum efficiency.

Detailed check list to be carried out prior to balancing. a) Install air flow station in each of the warm air streams. b) Ensure that all ductwork is secured and sealed. c) Drain connections are in place and drain trap filled with water. d) Dwelling vapour barrier is complete and intact. e) Fireplace dampers, windows and doors are closed.f) Clothes dryer off, (if vented to the outdoors)g) Furnace, hot water heater, (non direct vent) are turned off. h) All other exhaust fans are off. i) Ensure that HRV filters and core are in place and integral balancing dampers are wide open. j) Power up HRV and set to high speed. k) Adjust all branch tech grills and registers to desired air flows. l) After taking readings at both the stale air being exhausted and the fresh air supply air stream, damper down the higher air flow stream with the integral balancing damper to equal the lower volume air stream. m) Once the air flows are balanced lock the balancing dampers in place. n) While it is necessary to ensure that both air streams are balanced within 10% of each other, a near balanced condition should be possible. o) Upon completion, return the fan speed selection to the normal speed of low.

A positive pressure situation within the interior may drive moist air into the external walls of the dwelling where, in cold weather, it may condensate, potentially causing structural damage.

A negative pressure within the interior may have severe undesirable effects. In some geographic locations, radon gas may be drawn into the interior space. A negative condition may also cause back drafting of vented combustion appliances such as fireplaces and furnaces.

When it is possible for excessive pressurization or depressurization of a dwelling to occur it may be necessary to perform a Pressure Test. This test is most important where fuel fired devices are installed that are susceptible to spillage.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE IF THE “PRESSURE TEST” IS REQUIRED..

Summeraire HRV Air Flow Balancing

It is necessary to have balanced air flows in any HRV. The volume of air brought in from outside must be equal to the volume of air exhausted by the HRV. If the air flows are not properly balanced :

• The HRV may not operate at its’ maximum efficiency.• A negative or positive air pressure may occur in the building.• The HRV may not defrost properly.• Failure to balance the HRV may void warranty

Excessive positive pressure may drive moist indoor air into external walls of the building where it may condense ( in cold weather ) and degrade structural components. It may also cause key holes to freeze up.Excessive negative pressure may have several undesirable effects. In some geographic locations, soil gases, such as methane and Radon gas may be drawn into the building through basement / ground contact areas. Excessive negative pressure may also cause back drafting of atmospherically vented combustion appliances.

Read the Application WARNING on the Front Page of This Manual.Prior to balancing, insure that:

1. All sealing of the ductwork system has been completed.2. All of the HRV’s components are in place and function properly.3. Balancing dampers are open.4. HRV is on High Speed.5. Air flows in branch lines to specific areas of the building should be ad-justed first, prior balancing the HRV. A smoke pencil used at the grilles is a good indicator of each branch line’s relative air flow.6. After taking readings of both the stale air to the HRV duct and fresh air to the building duct the lower CFM ( L/s ) velocity reading should be left alone, while the duct with the higher reading should be dampered to match the lower reading.7. Return HRV to appropriate fan speed for normal operation.

Preliminary Procedures: 1. Seal all the unit’s ductwork with foil tape.2. Close all windows and doors and fireplace damper, turn off all exhaust devices (range hoods, clothes dryer, bath fan, etc.), make sure all filters are clean.3. Set build-in balancing dampers fully open. Tap 1/8” hole in ductwork for pitot tube insertion.

Balancing Procedures:1.Set HRV to high speed. Make sure that the furnace blower is ON if the installation is in any way connected to the ductwork of the furnace. If not, leave the furnace blower OFF. Adjust air flow in branch lines if using source point exhaust and/or supply.2. If outside temperature is below -3°C (26°F), make sure defrost light is not on while balancing.3. Place magnahelic gauge on a level surface and adjust it to zero. Insert pitot tube into exhaust air ductwork with tip aligned with ductwork, pointing away from HRV, into air flow. Record the reading on gauge.4. Move kit to other air stream HRV, insert pilot tube into fresh air ductwork with tip aligned with ductwork, pointing towards HRV , into air flow. Record reading on gauge. Adjust fresh air balancing damper until reading is approximately the same as in exhaust air ductwork. If the reading in the fresh air ductwork is less than in the exhaust air, go back and adjust the exhaust balancing damper to equal the fresh air flow.5. Secure dampers in place with fastening screw. Duct tape over pitot tube holes.Convert FPM reading on gauge to CFM with conversion chart and record on balancing sticker and affix to HRV near label.6. Note: Unit is considered balanced if readings are within +/- 10%.

MAINTENANCE

As with any mechanical system, a dedicated maintenance program will prolong the life of the equipment, and maintain its’ optimum performance. We recom-mend at least two (2) full inspections and cleanings per year under normal operating conditions, and more, if circumstances warrant it.

Service Should Include:

• Cleaning of screens protecting the outside hoods• Cleaning the core – core assembly is made up of 3 cores. To access the core,

remove service panels and slide core half way out. Wash core(s) protrud-ing from the cabinet with water and / or a mild cleaning solution. Push core through to the other side of the cabinet and repeat the procedure to clean the other side of the core. In many cases, only a vacuuming of the core surface is required.

• Always ensure that cores are installed correctly. Refer to labels referring to “Core This Way Up” and “Air Filters This Side”.

• Inspect filters and replace as necessary.• Wipe down drain pans and inside of the cabinet using a mild disinfectant.• Ensure condensate drain has free flow of moisture.• Inspect blowers and electrical disconnect panel.• Confirm operation.

MOTORS

Apply 4 – 5 drops of oil to the ports at each end of the motor every 12 months is required. We strongly recommend that the motor ( s ) should be oiled once every year in order to extend its’ life. USE S.A.E. 20W NON – DETERGENT OIL. Do not “ over oil “, as this may damage the motor. Depending on the HRV specifications, the motors may have sealed bearings that do not require oiling. An inspection of the motors will identify if oiling is required.
