REQUIREMENTS
MAINTENANCE
Keep your ERV performing at its best by cleaning it as described below:
TO CLEAN THE ENERGY EXCHANGE ELEMENT
Vacuum the face of the energy exchange element yearly. Dust collects only on the entering face of the energy
exchange element, right where the filter sits. The interior of the energy exchange element stays clean even if
the element faces are dust covered.
1.
Remove the filters (see below)
2.
Vacuum the exposed faces of the energy exchange element with a soft brush attachment
3.
Vacuum out dust from the rest of the unit case
4.
Install new filters
INSPECT AND CHANGE THE FILTERS REGULARLY.
Inspect and/or replace filters every two or three months when the HE1.5XRT is in regular use, or as
needed. Filters must be used or the energy exchange core will become blocked by dust and the unit will not do
its job. In extreme cases components may be damaged.
1.
To access the filters unlatch the access door.
2.
Pull the dirty filters out and replace with new filters.
NOTE:
The filters supplied in the unit are usually able to keep the energy exchange core clear for several
months. Finer filters can be used but must be cleaned more often. If using finer filters, their increased
resistance to flow must be allowed for in the system design.
MOTOR MAINTENANCE
The motor needs no lubrication. If necessary vacuum clean the blower wheels at the same time you
clean the face of the energy exchange element (annually).
Danger of Electrical Shock when servicing an installed unit.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING!
More than one disconnect switch may be required.
Proper Wiring Size Selection and Wiring Installation are the Responsibility of the Electrical Contractor.
WARNING
DO NOT WASH THE ENERGY
EXCHANGE CORE.
Keep it away from water or fire to
avoid damaging it. Always handle
the core carefully.
CAUTION
Danger of injury if unit starts
unexpectedly. Switch power off
at service disconnect. Lock-out/
tag-out the disconnect.
