Electric Preheat 
The  modulating  electric  preheat  option  is 
designed to temper the incoming outside air 
to the unit based on an enable control signal 
and the outside air conditions. 
A 24VAC enable signal must be provided to 
the  [PHE]  terminal  to  enable  the  operation 
of  the  electric  preheat.  Once  the  preheat 
controller  is  enabled  it  will  monitor  the 
outside  air  temperature  to  determine if  any 
capacity of preheat is needed. If the outside 
air  temperature falls  below  the  outside air 
temperature setpoint the electric preheat will 
be  started  up  and  maintain  the  leaving  air 
temperature  setpoint  with  both  SCR 
controlled and staged electric preheat. Both 
setpoints  are  set  with  push  button  LCD 
interface  on  the  preheat  controller.  Outside 
air  temperature  sensors  and  preheat 
discharge supply air temperature sensors are 
factory installed  and  wired to  the preheat 
controller.  Electric  preheat  has  maximum 
operating  outside  air  temperature  of  60°F 
and  a  maximum  preheat  discharge  air 
temperature of 80°F. 
[COM], [PHO] & [PHC] feedback terminals 
are provided to communicate if the electric 
preheat is  in  operation.  PHO  is  a  normally 
open  contact,  PHC  is  a  normally  closed 
contact, and  COM is  the common.  These 
terminals are not required to be connected. 
[PHE]  is  the  electric  preheat  operation 
enable. [PH+] and [PH-] are the preheat set 
point reset terminals. 
Energy Recovery Units 
General Information 
AAONAIRE®  units  have  been  equipped 
with an energy recovery wheel. This section 
is provided to  assure the energy recovery 
feature will be properly setup to perform in 
accordance with the job specifications for 
your particular application. 
Energy Recovery Wheel 
The Energy Recovery Cassette consists of a 
frame  wheel,  wheel  drive  system,  and 
energy  transfer  segments.  Segments  are 
removable for cleaning or replacement. The 
segments  rotate  through  counter  flowing 
exhaust  and  outdoor  air  supply  streams 
where they transfer heat and/or water vapor 
from  the  warm,  moist  air  stream  to  the 
cooler and/or drier air stream. 
The initial setup and servicing of the energy 
recovery wheel is very important to maintain 
Installing  Contractor  is  responsible 
for proper sealing of the water piping 
entries into the unit Failure to seal the 
entries  may  result  in  damage  to  the 
unit and property. 
   CAUTION  
Improper  installation,  adjustment, 
alteration,  service  or  maintenance 
can  cause  property  damage, 
personal injury or loss of life. Startup 
and service must be performed by a 
Factory Trained Service Technician.
