CONTROL WIRING  
SCHEMATICS

E.  Control System with 2 Non-powered Relay Contacts: 

Use this schematic if the external control  

system provides no voltage or current at its output contacts. Install jumper (provided) between 
terminals 2 & 3. Connect one side of each of the output contacts to Terminal 1. Connect the other side 
of the output contact to control the FA Blower to Terminal 4, and the output contacts to control the  
EA Blower to Terminal 5.

F.

  

Control System Sending two 24VAC “On” Signals from an external power source: 

Make sure the 

jumper is NOT installed between Terminals 2 & 3. Now you safely can apply one of the 24VAC signals 
to Terminals 3 & 4 to operate the ERV’s isolation relay for the Fresh Air Blower. Apply the second 24VAC 
signal to Terminals 3 & 5 to operate the ERV’s isolation relay for the Exhaust Blower (make sure the 
polarity of each wire connected to Terminal 3 is the same).

INSTALLATION

NOTE: 

Because the ERV’s Motor Starters will only be operating once the Dampers are open, the power draw of 

the Damper Actuators is allowed to be as much as 35VA while opening (including power draw of the external 
control system, if any). However, the power draw of the fully-opened (stalled) Actuators (and external 
control system if any) must be less than 8VA. (Most damper actuators have much lower power draws.)

G.

  Control System Operating Isolation Dampers with End Switches

: Use Isolation Dampers with  

electrically separate end switches. The end switches are used to separately control the ERV unit’s 
Isolation Relays. This ensures that each damper is open before the respective blower starts up.

F

TWO EXTERNAL RELAY CONTACTS SUPPLYING 

24VAC FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE

E

A SWITCH OR NON-POWERED CONTROL 

USING UNIT'S 24VAC POWER SUPPLY

Make sure the control provides 
no voltage or current at its output 
terminals.

CAUTION

Supply only 24VAC (not VDC) from 
a Class II Power Source.
