Pre-Start-Up Checklist
oDisconnect and
oRemove any foreign objects that are located in the energy recovery unit.
oCheck all fasteners,
oRotate the fan wheels and energy recovery wheels by hand and ensure no parts are rubbing.
oCheck the fan belt drives for proper alignment and tension.
oFilters can load up with dirt during building construction. Replace any dirty pleated filters and clean the aluminum mesh filters in the intake hood.
oVerify that
oCheck the tightness of all factory wiring connections.
oVerify control wire gauge.
oVerify diameter seal settings on the energy recovery wheel.
oVerify proper drain trap installation.
oCheck condensing fans for any damage or misalignment. Spin the blades and make sure they don’t contact any parts and are free turning without any resistance.
oLook over the piping system. Inspect for oil at all tubing connections. Oil typically highlights a leak in the system.
oInspect all coils within the unit. Fins may get damaged in transit or during construction. Carefully straighten fins with a fin comb.
oIf there is an indirect
oThis unit contains a crankcase heater for each compressor which needs power supplied to it

Start-Up Procedure
The unit will be in operational mode during
oMake sure
oJumper R to G, R to Y1, and R to Y2 (if applicable) on the control board.
oTurn the disconnect on. After 3 minutes compressors will come on. Make sure all fans and compressors are rotating the correct direction.
oAllow the unit to run until the refrigerant system stabilizes. Approximately
Voltage Imbalance
In a
Key: | V1, V2, V3 = line voltages as measured |
| VA (average) = (V1 + V2 + V3) / 3 |
| VD = Line voltage (V1, V2 or V3) that |
| deviates farthest from average (VA) |
Formula: | % Voltage Imbalance = [100 x |
