2.0 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

2.1 CABINET

2.2 FANS

2.3 CONTROLLER

The cabinet is built of 22 gauge (0.64 mm) galvanized steel and is painted white. It has a 
hinged, removable door. The exterior of the unit boasts four air pressure test ports, one low-
voltage terminal strip, an access/viewing port, and locations for four duct connectors, (6" or 8", 
shipped loose). 
2.1.1 Removable Door with Interlock Switch
The insulated access door is hinged on one side and has two securing latches on the other side. 
The hinges are separable to allow for removal of the access door for servicing. The door has an 
access/viewing port built in to permit adjustment of the fan potentiometers. Directly behind the 
access door is a pressure-sensitive interlock switch that will shut off power to the unit if the 
door is opened during operation. Also installed on the door are four air pressure test ports, used 
for connecting a manometer and taking air pressure measurements.

The EV Premium has two advanced, high efficiency electronically commutated (EC) 120 VDC 
variable speed fans. One fan is used for intake air (Outdoor Air/Supply Air) and the other fan 
is for the exhaust airstream (Return Air/Exhaust Air). The speed of each fan is controlled 
independently by a 0–10 VDC signal from the controller. 

The controller provides the signal to the EC motors using integral potentiometers. Incoming line 
voltage powers both fans and also a step-down Class II transformer which provides 24 VAC to 
the externally-mounted low-voltage terminal strips. The controller has four potentiometers that 
are adjusted by the user to establish fan speeds for each operation mode.

1.3 UNIT WEIGHTS

The hanging weight of each EV Premium M is approximately 36 pounds.

2.3.1 Controller Power Supply
Each EV Premium has one terminal strip mounted on the end of the unit. The terminal strip is a 
24 VAC power supply terminal. The unit control board provides up to 6 VA (approximately 0.25 A) 
which can be used to power the various optional control accessories.
