VersiVent Energy Recovery Ventilator

VersiVent - Model VER

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 Electric 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 affects 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

Always disconnect power before working on or near 
this equipment. Lock and tag the disconnect switch or 
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.
