Electrical Connections
It is recommended that a licensed electrician make all
electrical connections. It is very important that the unit
be properly grounded. The circuit must be sized to han-
dle the F.L.A. indicated on the name tag for the circuit.
WARNING: Verify the polarity of the power coming into
the unit with a test lamp or multimeter. Connect the
multimeter or test lamp probe to the wire being tested
and the other probe to ground. The black line should be
“live”. If the white line is “live” the polarity is reversed
and must be corrected. If both lines are live, the voltage
is not 120VAC. The black open line from the unit should
be connected to the live line and the white open line
should be connected to the neutral line. Some unit have
a safety disconnect rocker switch located just outside of
the electrical control box area. The switch disconnects
the live line. Verify that it is working properly with a
multimeter or test lamp. Always ensure the ERV is
properly grounded before and after testing.
The ERV is designed to operate with ducting.
When first starting the ERV, measure the amp
draw to each motor at each speed to ensure it
is operating at or below the max rating.
