General Safety Information
Only qualified personnel should install this fan 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. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be free
to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary
objects.
3. Motor 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.
DANGER
Always disconnect power before working on or near
a fan. Lock and tag the disconnect switch or breaker
to prevent accidental power up.
CAUTION
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.
When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before
servicing.
CAUTION
7. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is
running.
Precaution should be taken in explosive
atmospheres.

tightness.
are mounted in
an area which is
clearly visible,
usually on the
side of the fan
cabinet.
2. Rotate the fan wheel(s) by hand and assure
no parts are rubbing. Access to the wheel is
obtained through a bolted panel located on the
side of the fan housing.
ERS and Vektor fan systems may arrive in component
pieces due to shipping restrictions. Individual
components of a system have matching identification
tags which should be used to identify and assemble
the complete system. Assembling systems with
different identification tags can cause reductions in
the fan(s) performance.

be placed on the top edge of secured roof curb
prior to placing the ERS plenum cabinet and Vektor
bypass air plenum on the curb.
ERS plenum cabinet and Vektor fan bypass air plenum
(BAP) require minimum clearances for access on three
sides for routine maintenance. Filter replacement,
drain pan inspection and cleaning, coil inspection,
damper actuator adjustments and inspection, fan
bearing lubrication and belt adjustment (belt drive
units), are examples of routine maintenance that must
be performed. Coil and filter sections are always
provided with a service door or panel for proper
component access. Clearances for component
removal may be greater than the service clearances.
Refer to page 12 for coil clearances.
NOTE
If fan bypass air plenum (BAP) is in sections, these
should be assembled first, prior to connection to
ERS plenum cabinet. Refer to Vektor Fan IOM (part
number 464652) on how to assemble the fan BAP.

Drain Trap
Coils
Coils are provided with a stainless steel drain pan
with 1 1/4-inch male NPT drain connection. A drain
trap must be connected to the drain connection to
allow excess water to flow out of the drain pan. More
importantly though, due to the negative internal static
pressure of the coil compartment, installing the drain
trap prevents outdoor air from being pulled into the
drain pan and consequently forcing water out of the
pan and into the unit.
Installation of Water Coil Piping
Guidelines for the installation of the coil have been
provided to ensure proper performance of the coils
and their longevity. These are general guidelines
that may have to be tailored to meet the specific
requirements of any one job. As always, a qualified
party or individual should perform the installation and
maintenance of the coil. Protective equipment such
as safety glasses, steel toe boots and gloves are
recommended during the installation and maintenance
of the coil.
To ensure the drain trap works properly, the trap
height must account for the difference in static
pressure between ambient conditions outside the
unit and the internal negative pressure of the coil
compartment.
All field piping must be self-supporting. System piping
should be flexible enough to allow for the thermal
expansion and contraction of the coil.
Refer to local codes to determine drainage
requirements. If draining onto roof, place a drip pan
below drain to protect roof. If draining onto roof is
not acceptable, a drain line must be attached to the
trap. The drain line must be pitched away from the
unit at least 1/8-in. per foot. On longer runs, an air
break should be used to ensure proper drainage.
Local codes may require drainage into a waste water
system.
Water Coil Installation Recommendations
1. Piping should be in accordance with accepted
industry standards. Always use a back up wrench
on the coil connections when attaching the piping
to the coil if pipe thread connections are utilized.
2. Connect the water supply to the bottom
connection on the air leaving side and the water
return to the top connection on the air entering
side.
3. The air vent at the uppermost point should be
temporarily opened during system start-up to
release all of the air from the coil. To maintain
heat transfer capacity, periodically vent any air in
the coil.
4. Water coils are not normally recommended for
use with entering air temperatures below 40°F.
Glycol solutions or brines are the only freeze-safe
media for operation of water coils for low entering
air conditions.
Drainage problems not only occur from improper drain
trap design, but also from lack of maintenance of
the cooling coil compartment. Algae can form in the
drain pan and trap
1¼ inch minimum
and cause reduced
water flow, which can
result in backup into
the system. Regular
maintenance will
TSP
H/2
prevent this from
occurring. If the
drains have a clean-
out opening, be sure
to close the opening
after cleaning.
5. Two position control valves, modulating valves,
three way valves or a combination of these
controls can accomplish control of water coils.
Follow the recommendations of the control
manufacturer regarding types, sizing and
locations. Face and bypass dampers may also
be used, but do not close off tightly. Air leakage
in cooling applications has no appreciable
affect. In heating applications, however, the air
temperature may rise several degrees and should
be considered in system design. Low leakage
dampers may be required.
TSP = Total Static Pressure
H = TSP + 1¼ inch minimum
NOTE
A conservative method of trap design is to add
1-1/4 inches minimum to total static pressure.

Filter Replacement
Filters are located only in the coil plenum section.
Access is needed from both sides of the plenum to
change all the filters. Unit may have either 2 inch
MERV 8 filters or 4 inch MERV 11 filters depending on
the application requirements. Use equivalent MERV
rating filters when replacing.

internal pipe connections are desired. Either
remove this panel to run plumbing or punch
appropriately sized holes in the panel to allow
piping to pass without rubbing and space for

others).
NOTE
Vent and drain connections are provided on
Greenheck water coils unless otherwise specified.
This allows the coils to be drained. Keep in mind
that when draining the coils, all water may not drain
from the coil. In order to completely drain the coil
to prevent the possibility of freezing during cold
ambient temperatures, air or nitrogen pressure must
be utilized to blow any remaining water from the
coil.
Coil Installation Checklist
Use the following checklist to verify that all necessary
installation procedures have been completed.
1. Coils are installed with airflow in same direction
as indicated on the coil nameplate or casing.
2. Condensate drain pans and piping is installed
with a trap in the condensate line and piping is
insulated and heated if installed in applications
that are below freezing.
3. Clean filters are installed upstream.

Fin Straightening
Routine Maintenance
Coil fins may have been bent during shipping or
servicing, and should be straightened to maintain
maximum heat transfer. Reduction of the effective
coil surface will correspondingly reduce coil capacity.
Always check fin appearance after any handling of the
coil and after any servicing is done near the coils. Fin
combs are sized according to number of fins per inch
of the coil. For relatively small bends that require only
minor repair, other tools may be used to evenly space
the fins. Be careful not to damage the coils.
CAUTION
Use caution when removing access panels or other
unit components, especially while standing on a
ladder or other potentially unsteady base. Access
panels and unit components can be heavy and
serious injury may occur.
Once the unit has been put into operation, a routine
maintenance program should be set up to preserve
reliability and performance. Items to be included in
this program are:
Winterizing Coils
During any extended down time, all water should
be drained from the coil. The coil should then be
thoroughly flushed with a glycol solution to prevent
freeze damage.
• Internal Filter
Check for cleanliness. Replace if required.
• Door Seal
Check if intact and pliable.
• Coil Maintenance
Filters
Check for cleanliness (coil and drain pan).
• Winterizing Coils
Filters upstream of the coil should be checked
regularly for dirtiness and clogging. If the filters are
dirty, they should be replaced. It is important that the
coils stay clean to maintain maximum heat transfer
capability.
Drain. Fill with antifreeze. Drain.
Coil Maintenance:
Cleaning
Drain Pan
Drain pans may contain moisture; therefore, algae and
other organisms will grow due to airborne spores and
bacteria. Scheduled cleaning is necessary to prevent
build-up from clogging the drain. Drain pans should
also be kept clean to prevent growth of bacteria and
the spread of disease.
Coils should be kept clean to maintain maximum
performance. For operation at its highest efficiency,
the coil should be cleaned often during periods
of high cooling demand or when dirty conditions
prevail. Power should be disconnected and locked
out and motors should be covered to insure that no
moisture penetrates into the windings causing motor
failure if applicable. Remove large debris from the
coils and straighten fins before cleaning. Clean coils
with cold water and detergent or with one of the
commercially available chemical coil cleaners. Rinse
coils thoroughly after cleaning. For coils with fragile
fins or high fin density, foaming chemical sprays and
washes air available. Many coil cleaners contain
harsh chemicals, so they must be used with caution
by qualified personnel only. Care must be taken not
to damage the coils. FINS ARE SHARP! Use caution
when working with coils.
WARNING
Biological Hazard! All drain pans and coils should
be cleaned on a regular schedule by qualified
personnel to prevent the growth of bacteria.
CAUTION
Do not use acidic chemical coil cleaners. Do not use
alkaline chemical coil cleaners that, after mixing,
have a ph value greater than 8.5 without also using
an aluminum corrosion inhibitor in the cleaning
solution. Failure to follow these guidelines or the
manufacturer’s instructions for use of cleaning
chemicals could result in damage to the unit.
