Energy Core Ventilator

®

The MiniCore comes standard with end connections. 
The option for configurable intake and discharge 
connections (shaded in below drawing) are available 
and can be interchanged based on application in 
the field. 

Changing the Discharge Location
Step 1

 -

 Disconnect and lockout all power switches.

Step 2 –

 Remove the sheet metal block off from the 

desired discharge location.

Step 3 –

 Cut the insulation from the desired discharge 

location opening.

Step 4 –

 Remove the backdraft damper from its current 

position and reinstall in the desired discharge location. 
The hinged door should be on the discharge end of 
the unit.

Step 5 –

 Glue the cut out insulation to the sheet metal 

block off. Install where the damper had been located.

Step 6 –

 Using a 1/2-inch wrench, remove the four 

(4) bolts from the discharge end of the unit that holds 
the blowers.

Step 7 –

 Remove the four (4) plastic plugs from the 

desired discharge location and reinstall the plastic 
plugs in the holes where the bolts were removed from 
in Step 6.

Step 8 –

 Position the blowers to line up with the 

desired discharge location. The motor needs to be on 
the discharge end of the blower and unit. If the motor 
is positioned on the return side of the blower/unit, the 
motor/blower will interfere with the energy recovery 
core. The blower adjacent to the control center needs to 
be rotated 90°. The blower not adjacent to the control 
center needs to be flipped and rotated such that the 
motor is now opposite the control center side of the 
unit. It may be necessary to unwire the motors.

Step 9 –

 Bolt the blowers in their desired locations. 

Securely reconnect and fasten all wires.

Changing the Inlet Location
Step 1

 - 

Remove the metal cover for optional inlet 

location by unfastening the four (4) sheet metal screws 
holding it in place.

Step 2 - 

Hand bend flanges out to form a duct collar in 

the newly uncovered intake opening.

Step 3 - 

Cut insulation.

Step 4 - 

Hand bend flanges in on original intake and 

replace metal cover removed in Step 1.
