Only qualified personnel should install this system.
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these
instructions and should be aware of general safety
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards. Other
considerations may be required if high winds or seismic
activity are present. If more information is needed,
contact a licensed professional engineer before moving
forward.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well
as the National Electrical Code (NEC), the National
Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable.
Follow the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) in
Canada.
2. All moving parts must be free to rotate without
striking or rubbing any stationary objects.
3. Unit must be securely and adequately grounded.
4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than maximum
cataloged fan RPM. Adjustments to fan speed
significantly effects motor load. If the fan RPM is
changed, the motor current should be checked to
make sure it is not exceeding the motor nameplate
amps.
5. Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in
contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
Replace cord immediately if damaged.
6. Verify that the power source is compatible with the
equipment.
7. Never open access doors to the unit while it is
running.
General Safety Information
DANGER

breaker to prevent accidental power up.
CAUTION
When servicing the unit, the internal components may
be hot enough to cause pain or injury. Allow time for
cooling before servicing.
CAUTION
Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.

    Why Greenheck ERV-10 Fan energy wheel does NOT turn?
    • B
      Brian ClarkAug 20, 2025
      If the energy wheel in your Greenheck Fan is not turning, consider the following: * The air seals might be too tight. * "Economizer" sensors might be operating. * There may be no power to the wheel motor; ensure the wheel drive is plugged in and verify power is available. * Check the wheel drive belt for looseness or breakage; replace if necessary. * There could be a VFD overload (OL1 on readout); refer to the VFD section and compare the motor amp rating to the setting in the VFD, adjusting accordingly.

    What to do if Greenheck Fan blower fails to operate?
    • C
      Christina BridgesAug 22, 2025
      If the Greenheck Fan blower isn't working, there might be several reasons: * A fuse might be blown, or a circuit breaker open. In this case, replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker, and then check the amps. * The motor or capacitor could be defective, requiring replacement. * The motor starter might be overloaded; try resetting it and checking the amps. * There might be an electrical issue, so check the on/off switches and the correct supply voltage. * Lastly, examine the drive for broken or loose belts and tighten any loose pulleys.

    Why Greenheck Fan motor over amps?
    • V
      veronicaellisAug 26, 2025
      If your Greenheck Fan motor is over amping, it could be due to several reasons: * The CFM might be too high, so check it and adjust the drives if needed. * Static pressures may be higher or lower than designed; improve ductwork if higher or lower the fan RPM if lower. * Incorrect blower rotation; check and reverse if necessary. * Incorrect motor voltage; check the motor nameplate against the supplied voltage. * Insufficient motor horsepower; see the specifications and catalog for fan curves to determine if the horsepower is sufficient. * Shorted windings in the motor; replace the motor.

    What to do for low airflow (cfm) in Greenheck ERV-10 Fan?
    • S
      sanchezjonAug 27, 2025
      If your Greenheck Fan has low airflow (CFM), here's what you can check: * Make sure the unit damper is fully open. If not, adjust the damper linkage or replace the damper motor. * If the system static pressure is too high, improve the ductwork to eliminate losses. * If the blower speed is too low, check for correct drives and RPM using catalog data. * Ensure the fan wheels are operating in the correct direction. * Check for a dirty filter or energy wheel and follow the cleaning procedures. * Repair any leaks in the ductwork. * Correct or improve ductwork if elbows or other obstructions are blocking the fan outlet. * Adjust the belt tension if there's belt slippage.

    How to decrease high airflow (cfm) in Greenheck ERV-10 Fan?
    • D
      Dawn SimsAug 31, 2025
      If your Greenheck Fan has high airflow (CFM), check the following: * Ensure the blower fan speed is not too high. Check for the correct fan RPM and decrease the fan speed if necessary. * Verify that all filters are in place. Install filters if they are missing. * Address insufficient static pressure (Ps) by inducing Ps into the system ductwork. Ensure grilles and access doors are installed and decrease fan speed if necessary.

    Why Greenheck ERV-10 Fan motor starters “chatter” or do not pull in?
    • L
      Lisa GrossSep 2, 2025
      If the motor starters in your Greenheck Fan are chattering or not pulling in, it could be due to: * Control power (24 VAC) wiring run being too long. Shorten the wiring run to the mechanical room or install a relay to turn the unit on/off. Consult the factory for relay information, as the resistance should not exceed 0.75 ohms. * Incoming supply power being less than anticipated. Increase the supply power or use a special control transformer sized for the actual supply power.

    What to do if Greenheck Fan blowers turn off intermittently?
    • D
      daviscolleenSep 5, 2025
      If one or both blowers in your Greenheck Fan turn off intermittently and then back on after about 2 minutes, it's possible that the exhaust-only frost control sensors are tripping. To resolve this, adjust the frost temperature sensor set point as needed.

    Why Greenheck ERV-10 energy wheel runs intermittently?
    • R
      Robert AndersonSep 7, 2025
      If the energy wheel in your Greenheck Fan runs intermittently, it's likely due to wheel motor overloads tripping. This can be caused by rubbing between the wheel and air seals. Recheck the air seals to ensure they are not too tight.
