Marvair Classic AVPA/HVPA/HVPSA Heat Pump I&O Manual

11/2017 Rev. 7

Hard Start Kit 

Used on single phase equipment to give the compressor higher starting torque under low voltage conditions. 

Field installed only. (Not generally recommended for use on scroll compressor.) 

Adjustable Outdoor Thermostat 

Will not allow electric resistance heat to be energized unless the outdoor temperature is below the desired 

set point. Field or factory installed. Available on all Classic units. P/N 93934

Single Point Feed 

When multiple internal disconnects are used, single point feed permits only one field power supply to 

heat pump. Field installed only. Available on all Classic H/P units.

Energy Management System (EMS)

Relay to control the heat pump. Available in 24, 120 or 240 VAC. Field or factory installed.

Electric Reheat for Dehumidification

Control provides simultaneous operation of compressor when in cooling mode and the electric elements 

to provide dehumidification without over cooling the room. The electric element (kW) must be properly 

sized for each model for proper operation. Factory installed. Available on all Classic units. Consult 

factory for details.

Hot Gas Reheat (HGR) 

Marvair

®

 heat pumps equipped with the Hot Gas Reheat (HGR) allow the indoor humidity of the controlled 

environment to be maintained at or below a certain humidity set point. These units do not have the ability 

to add humidity to the classroom.
Dehumidification is achieved by operating mechanical cooling in conjunction with a hot gas reheat coil. 

The coil is sized approximately to the sensible capacity of the total tonnage of the machine.

Speed Control for GreenWheel

®

 ERV Exhaust Blower 

For separate control of the exhaust blower. When used, the standard speed controller operates the intake 

blower and the optional second controller the exhaust blower. Individual blower control allows positive 

pressurization of the classroom. Can be factory or field installed.

1.8  Economizer Operation and Components

Damper Actuator

The damper actuator is a motor that modulates the position of the damper blade. It is controlled by the 

enthalpy controller and powered by the 24 VAC control transformer. It is capable of driving a full 90 

degrees within 90 seconds. The assembly has a spring return to close the damper during power outage.

Controls

The economizer is controlled by an enthalpy sensor or optional dry bulb sensor.

Economizer Changeover Control

The enthalpy sensor responds to the total heat content of the outdoor air to provide changeover to outside 

air for free cooling. The change point is adjustable from 63°F @ 50% RH (full clockwise) to 73°F @ 

50% RH (full counterclockwise). Refer to Figure 3.
Once the enthalpy sensor has selected outside air, the mixed air sensor will limit the air temperature 

delivered to the space by modulating the damper blade to "mix in" a quantity of inside air to provide a 

constant 50° to 63°F. (Adjustable minimum potentiometer is optional.)
The sensor modulates the position of the outside air damper  in response to input from the enthalpy and
