INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1.800.961.7370
8
1. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power
off at disconnect switch or service panel and lock-
out/tag-out to prevent power from being switched
on accidentally. More than one disconnect switch
may be required to de-energize the equipment
for servicing.
2. This installation manual shows the suggested
installation method. Additional measures may be
required by local codes and standards.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified professional(s) in accordance
with all applicable codes, standards and licens-
ing requirements.
4. Any structural alterations necessary for instal-
lation must comply with all applicable building,
health, and safety code requirements.
5. This unit must be grounded.
6. Sufficient air is needed for proper combus-
tion and exhausting of gases through the flue
(chimney) of fuel burning equipment that might be
installed in the area affected by this equipment.
If this unit is exhausting air from a space in
which chimney-vented fuel burning equipment is
located, take steps to assure that combustion
air supply is not affected. Follow the heating
equipment manufacturer’s requirements and the
combustion air supply requirements of applica-
ble codes and standards.
7. Use the unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer.
8. This unit is intended for general ventilating only.
Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors. Do not connect this unit to
range hoods, fume hoods or collection systems
for toxics.
9. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
10. If installed indoors this unit must be properly
ducted to the outdoors.
RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY. OBSERVE ALL CODES AND THE FOLLOWING:
WARNING
INSTALLATION
PLANNING
YOUR INSTALLATION
Take these simple steps to attenuate noise from the unit.
OUTSIDE THE BUILDING
Exhaust velocity noise is the primary cause of
unit-related noise outside the building. Size the
exhaust duct and grille for less than 1000 FPM
air velocity. When practical, orient the exhaust air
hood to point away from houses or public areas.
DUCTS
Make sure the ductwork at the unit outlets is
stiff enough to resist the flexure and resulting
booming associated with system start-up and
shut-off, as well as the turbulent flow conditions
at the blower outlets.
In general, provide smooth transitions from the
ERV’s outlets to the duct. The ducts connecting
to the outlets should be straight for a sufficient
distance, with gradual transitions to the final
duct size.
These guidelines are consistent with SMACNA
recommended duct layout practices for efficient and
quiet air movement. Follow SMACNA guidelines.
RADIATED NOISE
The TRC800/TRC800V is insulated with high-den-
sity
fiberglass. This provides significant attenuation
of radiated sound.
The outlet ducts can be significant sources of
radiated sound as well. The FA and EA ducts
(outlet ducts) should be insulated for sound
control. This insulation should start at the unit.
At a minimum the first ten feet of duct should be
insulated. All parts of the FA and EA ducts located
in the mechanical space should be insulated for
sound control, both to minimize sound radiation
out of these ducts and also to control sound
radiation into the ducts.
AERODYNAMIC (VELOCITY) NOISE
When sound attenuation is a design concern,
the primary consideration is velocity noise at
the unit’s Fresh Air blower outlet.The average
velocity at the blower outlets is 1235 FPM
when the unit is operating at 970 CFM.
SOUND ATTENUATION
To avoid motor bearing damage
and noisy and/or unbalanced
blowers, keep drywall spray,
construction dust, etc., out of unit.
