SPECIFICATIONS

CASE

24 gauge galvanized steel. Baked powder coated paint,

antique white. Insulated with 1" (25 mm) high density
polystyrene foam to prevent condensation and meet the
requirements of the Underwriters Laboratories 94HF.

MOTORS

Two (2) German-engineered, factory-balanced

ebm™ motors with backward curved blades. Motors come
with permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings guarantee
long life and maintenance-free operation. Seven (7) year
warranty.

CORE

A enthalpy energy recovery core configured for an

efficient cross-flow ventilation. Core is 9" x 9" (229 x 229
mm) with a 15" (380 mm) depth. Cores are manufactured to
withstand extreme temperature variations.

FILTERS

Two (2) Washable Electrostatic Panel Type Air Filters,

SER 1504 is 8.5" (216mm) x 15" (380mm) x 0.125" (3mm),

CONTROLS

External three (3) position (Low/Stand

By/Medium) rocker switch that will offer continuous
ventilation. Fantech offers a variety of external controls. (see
optional controls)

DEFROST

During the defrost sequence, the supply blower shuts

down and the exhaust blower switches into high speed to
maximize the effectiveness of the defrost strategy.

INSTALLATION

Unit is typically hung by using installation kit

supplied with unit. Mounting bolts provided on top four (4)
corners of unit.

SERVICEABILITY

Core, filters, motors and drain pan can be

easily serviced through latched access door. Core
conveniently slides out with ease on an improved railing
system. Electrical box, placed on the outside of the unit, can
also be easily accessed.
