MiniCore
Energy Core
Annual inspection of the energy recovery core is
recommended. MiniCore units ventilating smoking
lounges and other non-clean air spaces should have
energy recovery core inspections more often based
upon needs.
Accessing the energy recovery core -
Disconnect
the power to the MiniCore. Remove access panel.
Removing the energy recovery core -
Once the
energy core access doors are removed, the core can be
pulled from the housing. To replace the core, reverse the
procedure.
Recommended cleaning procedure -
First, remove
the energy recovery core by following the instructions
on this page.
Once the core is removed, gently vacuum the surfaces
of the core to remove the dirt and debris that has
accumulated.
Frequency of cleaning -
A regular cleaning cycle
must be established for the energy recovery core in
order to maintain optimum sensible and latent energy
transfer. In reasonably clean environments such as
schools, offices or retail stores, the energy recovery core
should be inspected annually and cleaned as needed.
Failure to follow a regular cleaning cycle for the energy
recovery core can result in significant energy transfer
performance losses.
WARNING
Do not wash, soak in water or use detergents and
cleaners on the core. This will result in a damaged
core.
Optional EC Motor
Features
Soft start
– All motors
feature soft-start
technology which
eliminates inrush
current at start-up.
The motors will reliably
start at any speed
setting.
Overload protection
– If the motor becomes
overloaded, it will automatically reduce its speed until it
is no longer overloaded. This means that the motor will
never operate in the “service factor” which is possible
with many AC motors.
Locked rotor protection
– If the motor ever encounters
a locked-rotor scenario, the motor will automatically
shut itself down. It will try to restart up to 3 times, and if
after the 3rd time the motor will still not rotate, the motor
will not attempt to start again until power is cycled.
Thermal protection
– The motors have a one-shot
fuse thermal protector. This is meant to protect the
motor from a severe temperature rise. With the motor
controller’s ability to software limit the speed, the fuse
is used as a last resort to prevent a fire.
RPM measurement
– The motors have a small shaft
extension on the end of the motor to measure motor
RPM with either a contact or optical tachometer.
Operation and Wiring - Potentiometer Dial
These motors feature a potentiometer dial on the motor
for speed adjustment. A small screwdriver can be used
to make the speed adjustment. To increase the speed,
rotate the dial clockwise. To decrease the speed, rotate
the dial counterclockwise.
