Frequently Asked Questions - ERV110S BROAN

What is an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) and how does the ERV110S work?

An ERV, like the Broan ERV110S, exchanges stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering energy from the exhaust air to pre-condition the incoming air. It uses an enthalpy core that transfers both heat and moisture, improving indoor air quality efficiently.

How often should I clean the filter on the ERV110S?

The washable foam filter should be cleaned every 3 to 6 months under normal usage. More frequent cleaning may be needed in dusty or high-pollution environments. Simply remove the filter and wash it with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

Can the ERV110S be installed in a bathroom or attic?

The ERV110S is designed for ceiling mount installation in conditioned spaces only. It should not be installed in areas with high humidity (like bathrooms) or unconditioned attics, as moisture may damage the unit. Ensure proper clearances and duct connections as per the manual.

What size room does the ERV110S cover?

The ERV110S is rated for airflow up to 110 CFM, suitable for spaces up to 1,500 square feet depending on ceiling height and occupancy. For larger areas, multiple units or a higher capacity model may be required.

Does the ERV110S require professional installation?

While a knowledgeable DIYer can install it, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper ductwork, electrical connections, and compliance with local building codes. Improper installation may void the warranty.

How do I test if the ERV110S is working correctly?

Turn the unit on to a high speed and hold a tissue near the exhaust grille. If it is pulled in, the unit is drawing air. Also check that outdoor air is being expelled. Refer to the manual for detailed troubleshooting steps.

What is the difference between an ERV and an HRV?

An ERV transfers both heat and moisture, making it ideal for humid climates as it helps maintain indoor humidity levels. An HRV transfers only heat and is better suited for cold, dry climates. The Broan ERV110S is an ERV.

Can the ERV110S be used with a heat pump or furnace?

Yes, the ERV110S can be integrated with existing HVAC systems. However, it requires dedicated duct connections and should not share the same duct as the heating/cooling system without proper zoning to avoid interference.

What does the warranty cover on the ERV110S?

Broan offers a 5-year limited warranty on parts for the ERV110S. It covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Labor costs and damages from improper installation are not included. Register your product to activate the warranty.

How do I adjust the speed or ventilation mode on the ERV110S?

The ERV110S has a manual switch for basic on/off and speed control. Optional accessories allow for remote control or connection to a thermostat. Refer to the manual for wiring and operation details.

REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REPAIR

2. TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS

Installations may vary according to the type of unit and the ports configuration (top or sides). Use the following illustrations as guidelines to help you decide on how the unit will be installed.

All the units should be hung from the joists.

In every case, bathroom fans and a range hood should be used to exhaust stale air. Also, for homes with more than one level, we recommend one exhaust register at the highest level.

There are 3 installation methods: Fully ducted, Central Draw Point and Simplified Installation.

NOTE: An electrical outlet has to be available within 3 feet of the unit.

2.1 FULLY DUCTED SYSTEM (PRIMARILY FOR HOMES WITH RADIANT HOT WATER OR ELECTRIC BASEBOARD HEATING)

Stale air coming from the registers located at the highest level of the house is exhausted outdoors. Fresh air from outdoors is filtered and supplied by the register located in the lowest liveable level.

Homes with more than one level require at least one exhaust register at the highest level.

See figure at right.

2.2 CENTRAL DRAW POINT (CONNECTION TO A FORCED AIR SYSTEM)

Stale air coming from the registers located at the highest level of the house is exhausted outdoors. Fresh air from outdoors is filtered and supplied to the return (plenum) or the supply duct of the forced air unit. See figure at right.

For this type of installation, it is not essential that the forced air system blower runs when the unit is in operation, but we recommend it.

NOTE: Home with multiple forced air systems should have one unit on each system.

2.3 SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION (CONNECTION TO A FORCED AIR SYSTEM)

Stale air is exhausted outdoors. Fresh air from outdoors is filtered and supplied to the return (plenum) or the supply duct of the forced air unit.

See figure at right.

To avoid cross-contamination and achieve the highest efficiencies, the forced air system blower must always be ON.

NOTE: Home with multiple forced air systems should have one unit on each system.

2.4 ATTIC INSTALLATION (FOR ERV UNITS ONLY)

All 3 types of installations can be used in the attic (Fully ducted system, Central Draw Point or Simplified). The example shown below is a Simplified installation (connection to a forced air system).

NOTE: To get the most of your ERV unit, the ambient temperature around the unit should be conditioned. If the unit has to be installed in an unconditioned space, the heat gains or losses from the unit and the ducts could increase the operation costs of the unit.

CAUTION

• Due to the potential temperature difference between the attic and the rest of the house, all unit ducts must be insulated.
• The attic temperature must always be above 32^ and under 149^ .

Stale air is exhausted outdoors. Fresh air from outdoors is filtered and supplied to the return (plenum) of the forced air unit. See figure at right.

To avoid cross-contamination and achieve the highest efficiencies, the forced air system blower must always be ON.

NOTE: Home with multiple forced air systems should have 1 unit on each system.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1 INSPECT THE CONTENTS OF THE BOX

- Inspect the exterior of the unit for shipping damage. Ensure that there is no damage to the door, door latches, power cord, etc.

- Remove and discard both transport brackets (A) and open the door. Discard the styrofoam fillers (only in ERV units) and remove the hardware kit from the unit. Inspect the interior of the unit for damage. Ensure that heat or energy recovery core, core filters, insulation, dampers, etc. are all intact.

3.2 LOCATING THE UNIT

Choose an appropriate location for the unit.

- Within an area of the house where the ambient temperature is kept between 65^ and 104^ .

• So as to provide easy access to the interior of the unit, for quarterly and annual maintenance.
• Close to an exterior wall, so as to limit the length of the insulated flexible duct to and from the unit.
• Away from hot chimneys and other fire hazards.
• Allow for a power source (standard 3-prong grounding outlet).
• For HRV units ONLY: Close to a drain. If no drain is close by, use a pail to collect run-off.

3.3 UNIT PREPARATION

All these units are equipped with 2 ports having integrated balancing damper. Turn the thumb screw (B) clockwise to manually open and adjust the damper (C). Set both Fresh air to building port and Exhaust air to outdoors port to wide open position.

HRV units: Set the Fresh air to building port to wide open position, and adjust the Exhaust air to outdoors port to 3rd notch.

NOTE: If the unit needs to be balanced, adjust the damper of the Exhaust air to outdoors port to wide open position. See Section 7.

ERV units: Set both Fresh air to building port and Exhaust air to outdoors port to wide open position.

3.5 PLANNING OF THE DUCTWORK

• Keep it simple. Plan for a minimum of bends and joints.

• Keep the length of insulated ducts to a minimum.

• Do not ventilate crawl spaces or cold rooms. Do not attempt to recover the exhaust air from a dryer or a range hood. This would cause clogging of the filters and recovery module.

• If the house has two floors or more, be sure to plan for at least one exhaust register on the highest lived-in level.

3.6 INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK AND REGISTERS

WARNING

Never install a stale air exhaust register in a closed room where a combustion device operates, such as a gas furnace, a gas water heater or a fireplace.

3.6.1 FULLY DUCTED SYSTEM (AS ILLUSTRATED IN SECTION 2.1)

Stale air exhaust ductwork:

- Install the stale air exhaust registers where the contaminants are produced: Kitchen, living room, etc. Position the registers as far from the stairway as possible and in such a way that the air circulates in all the lived-in spaces in the house.

• If a register is installed in the kitchen, it must be located at least 4 feet from the range.
  • Install the registers 6 to 12 inches from the ceiling on an interior wall OR install them in the ceiling.

Fresh air distribution ductwork:

• Install the fresh air distribution registers in bedrooms, dining rooms, living room and basement.
- Keep in mind that the fresh air registers must be located as far as possible from the stale air registers.
- Install the registers in the ceiling OR 6 to 12 inches from the ceiling on an interior wall. The duct length should be at least 15'. (The fresh air will then flow through the room and mix with room air, ensuring a continuous renewed airflow.)
- If a register must be floor installed, direct the airflow up the wall.

3.6 INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK AND REGISTERS (CONT'D)

3.6.2 SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION (AS ILLUSTRATED IN SECTION 2.3)

WARNING

When performing duct connections, always use approved tools and materials. Respect all corresponding laws and/or safety regulations. Please refer to your local building code.

CAUTION

When performing duct connections to the furnace supply duct, this duct must be sized to support the additional airflow produced by the HRV/ERV. Also, use a steel duct. For a Return-Return installation, the furnace blower must be in operation when the HRV/ERV is in operation.

There are 2 methods for connecting the unit to the furnace/air handler:

Method 1: Supply-return connection Method 2: Return-return

Stale air intake:

• Cut an opening into the furnace/air handler return duct not less than 10 feet from the furnace/air handler (A+B).
• Connect this opening to the Exhaust air from building port of the HRV/ERV.

Fresh air distribution:

- Same instructions as for Method 1 or Method 2, Section 3.6.2.

For Method 2 (Return-return), make sure there is a distance of at least 3 feet between the 2 connections to the furnace/air handler.

NOTE: For Method 1, it is not essential to synchronize the furnace blower operation with the unit operation, but we recommend it.

CAUTION

If using Method 2, make sure the furnace/air handler blower operation is synchronized with the unit operation! See Section 5.

3.7 CONNECTING THE DUCTS TO THE UNIT

NOTE: All units ports were created to be connected to ducts having a minimum of 5" diameter, but if need be, they can be connected to bigger sized ducts by using an appropriate transition (e.g.: 5" diameter to 6" diameter transition).

Insulated flexible ducts:

CAUTION

Make sure the balancing dampers are set to wide open position before connecting the ducts to the ports.

All units have both Fresh air to building and Exhaust air to outdoors ports equipped with integrated balancing damper. Prior to install the insulated flexible ducts on, ensure these both ports have their dampers set to wide open position (See Section 3.3)

CAUTION

If ducts have to go through an unconditioned space (e.g.: attic), always use insulated ducts.

Use the following procedure for connecting the insulated flexible ducts to the port of the unit (Exhaust air to outdoors and Fresh air from outdoors ports).

① Pull back the insulation to expose the flexible duct.
② Attach the flexible duct to the port using tie wrap.
③ Pull the insulation over the joint and tuck in between the inner and outer rings of the double collar, then pull down the vapor barrier (shaded part in illustrations below) over the insulation and over the outer ring of double collar.
4 Apply duct tape to the joint making an airtight seal. Avoid compressing the insulation when pulling the tape tightly around the joint. Compressed insulation loses its R value and causes water dripping due to condensation on the exterior surface of the duct.

CAUTION

Make sure the vapor barrier on the insulated ducts does not tear during installation to avoid condensation within the ducts.

Rigid ducts:

CAUTION

Do not use screws to connect the rigid ducts to the ports.

Use a small length (6" lenght) of flexible duct to connect the rigid duct to the ports in order to avoid vibration transmissions. Use tie-wraps to perform connections, then seal with duct tape.

3.8 INSTALLING 2 EXTERIOR HOODS

Choose an appropriate location to install the exterior hoods:

• There must be a inimum distance of 6' between the hoods to avoid cross-contamination
• There must be a minimum distance of 18" from the ground

WARNING

Make sure the intake hood is at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from any of the following:

• Dryer exhaust, high efficiency furnace vent, central vacuum vent
  • Gas meter exhaust, gas barbecue-grill
  • Any exhaust from a combustion source
  • Garbage bin and any other source of contamination

Refer to figure below for connecting insulated ducts to the exterior hoods. An "Anti-gust intake hood" should be installed in regions where a lot of snow is expected to fall.

3.9 INSTALLING THE TANDEM TRANSITION\* KIT

If desired, a Tandem transition kit can be used instead of 2 exterior hoods; but take in account this device will generate additional 0.23 in. w.g. static pressure.

The joist opening needed to install the Tandem ^ transition must be 9 ^3/4 " minimum. The maximum height of the Tandem transition is 8 ^3/4 ".

To connect the insulated flexible ducts to the Tandem transition (Exhaust air to outdoors and Fresh air from outdoors), follow the instructions included with the Tandem transition kit (part no. VTYIK1).

*Patented.

4.1 INTEGRATED CONTROL

All units are equipped with an integrated control, located under the unit, in front of the electrical compartment. Use the push button (1) to control the unit. The LED (2) will then shows on which mode the unit is in. Refer to table below.

LED COLOR RESULTS
AMBER	UNIT IS ON LOW SPEED
GREEN	UNIT IS ON HIGH SPEED
NO LIGHT	UNIT IS OFF OR CONTROLLED BY A MAIN CONTROL

If a problem occurs during the unit operation, its integrated control LED (2) will blink. The color of the blinking light depends on the type of error detected. Refer to Section 8B, TROUBLESHOOTING on page 21 for further details.

4.1.1 OOT SEQUENCE

The unit boot sequence is similar to a personal computer boot sequence. Each time the unit is plugged after being unplugged, or after a power failure, the unit will perform a 30-second booting sequence before starting to operate. During the booting sequence, the integrated control LED will light GREEN or AMBER for 5 seconds, and then will shut off for 2 seconds. After that, the LED will light RED for the rest of the booting sequence. During this RED light phase, the unit is checking and resetting the motorized damper position. Once the motorized damper position completely set, the RED light turns off and the booting sequence is done.

NOTE: No command will be taken until the unit is fully booted.

4.1.2 S ETTING EXTENDED DEFROST

These units are factory set to normal defrost. In cold region (outdoor temperature -17^ F and lower), it may be necessary to setup extended defrost. During the first 2 seconds of booting sequence, while the integrated control LED is GREEN, press on push button for 3 seconds to set the unit in extended defrost; the LED will blink AMBER to show the unit is in extended defrost mode. After that, the LED will shut off, then light RED (the unit returns in its booting sequence).

4.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO OPTIONAL WALL CONTROLS

For more convenience, this unit can also be controlled using an optional main wall control.

NOTES: 1. The integrated control must be turned OFF to use an optional main control.

1. If an optional auxiliary control is used, if activated, this auxiliary control will override the optional main control.

WARNING

Always disconnect the unit before making any connections. Failure in disconnecting power could result in electric shock or damage of the wall control or electronic module inside the unit.

CAUTION

Never install more than one optional main wall control per unit. Make sure that the wires do not short-circuit between themselves or by touching any other components on the wall control. Avoid poor wiring connections. To reduce electrical interference (noise) potential, do not run wall control wiring next to control contactors or near light dimming circuits, electrical motors, dwelling/building power or lighting wiring, or power distribution panel.

Use the terminal connector included in the installation kit to perform the electrical connection for main and optional wall controls. Check if all wires are correctly inserted in their corresponding holes in the terminal block. (A wire is correctly inserted when its orange receptacle is lower than another one without wire. On illustration at right, wire A is correctly inserted, but not wire B.)

Splice back the end of the cable to access the 4 wires. Strip the end of each wire. Connect each wire to its corresponding terminal: YELLOW wire to "Y", RED wire to "R", GREEN wire to "G" and BLACK wire to "B". Check if all wires are correctly inserted in their corresponding holes in the terminal block.

Connect the auxiliary control cable, if installed (not shown).

4.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO OPTIONAL WALL CONTROLS (CONT'D)

4.2.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO VT8W MAIN WALL CONTROL

4.2.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO VT7W MAIN WALL CONTROL

4.2.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO VT4W MAIN WALL CONTROL

4.2.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO VT6W MAIN WALL CONTROL

4.2.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO OPTIONAL AUXILIARY WALL CONTROLS

Once the wall control(s) connections have been made, insert the terminal connector in the bottom of the unit, on the electrical compartment front face.

WARNING

Never connect a 120-volt AC circuit to the terminals of the furnace interlock (standard wiring). Only use the low voltage class 2 circuit of the furnace blower control.

For a furnace connected to a cooling system:

On some older thermostats, energizing the "R" and "G" terminals at the furnace has the effect of energizing "Y" at the thermostat and thereby turning on the cooling system. If you identify this type of thermostat, you must use the ALTERNATE FURNACE INTERLOCK WIRING.

To avoid balancing, the difference between stale air ducts total length and fresh air ducts total length must not exceed 50 ft. However, even if the stale air ducts and fresh air ducts lengths are almost equal, your local building codes may require balancing the unit.

If the unit does not need to be balanced, shut all the pressure taps (located on the unit door) with the small plastic plugs included in the hardware kit.

7.1 WHAT YOU NEED TO BALANCE THE UNIT

• A magnehelic gauge capable of measuring 0 to 0.5 inch of water (0 to 125 Pa) and 2 plastic tubes.
• The balancing chart located on the unit door.

7.2 PRELIMINARY STAGES TO BALANCE THE UNIT

• Seal all the unit ductwork with tape. Close all windows and doors.
• Turn off all exhaust devices such as range hood, dryer and bathroom fans.

- Make sure the integrated balancing dampers are fully open. Turn the thumb screw (A) clockwise to manually open the dampers. Both are located on the Exhaust air to outdoors port and on Fresh air to building port.

- Make sure all filters are clean (if it is not the first time you balance the unit).

7.3 BALANCING PROCEDURE

1. Set the unit to high speed.

Make sure that the furnace/air handler blower is ON if the installation is in any way connected to the ductwork of the cold air return. If not, leave furnace/air handler blower OFF. If the outdoor temperature is below 32^ F, make sure the unit is not running in defrost while balancing. (By waiting 10 minutes after plugging the unit in, you are assured that the unit is not in a defrost cycle.)

1. Place the magnehelic gauge on a level surface and adjust it to zero.
2. Connect tubing from gauge to exhaust air flow pressure taps (see diagram at right).

Be sure to connect the tubes to their appropriate high/low fittings. If the gauge drops below zero, reverse the tubing connections.

NOTE: It is suggested to start with the exhaust air flow reading because the exhaust has typically more restriction than the fresh air, especially in cases of fully ducted installations or source point ventilation. Place the magnehelic gauge upright and level. Record equivalent air flow of the reading according to the balancing chart.

1. Move tubing to fresh air flow pressure taps (see diagram). Adjust the fresh air balancing damper until the fresh air flow is approximately the same as the exhaust air flow. If fresh air flow is less than exhaust air flow, then go back and adjust the exhaust balancing damper to equal the fresh air flow.
2. Secure both dampers thumb screw in place with tape.
3. Write the required air flow information on a label and stick it near the unit for future reference (date, maximum speed air flows, your name, phone number and business address).

NOTE: The unit is considered balanced even if there is a difference of ±10 cfm (or ±5 l/s) between the two air flows.

From the inner side of the unit door, using the provided drain tube, punch out both drain holes (A).

In order to keep the drain pan intact, hand tighten the 2 plastic drain fittings to the unit door using the gaskets and nuts as shown.

Technical line drawing of a curved mechanical component (no text or symbols)

Cut 2 sections of plastic tubing, about 12" long and attach them to each drain fitting. Join the 2 short sections to the "T" junction and main tube as shown.

Make a water trap loop in the tube to prevent the unit from drawing unpleasant odors from the drain source. Make sure this loop is situated BELOW the "T" as shown. This will prevent water from being drawn back up into the unit in case of negative pressure. Run the tube to the floor drain or to an alternative drain pipe or pail. Be sure there is a slight slope for the run-off.

If using a pail to collect water, locate the tube end approximately 1" from the top of the pail in order to prevent water from being drawn back up into the unit.

WARNING

Risk of electric shocks. Electronic board connections must be checked by qualified personnel only.

If the unit does not work properly, reset the unit by unplugging it for one minute and then replug it. If it still not working properly, refer to table below.

If the integrated control LED of the unit is flashing, this means the unit sensors detected a problem. See the table below to know where the problem occurs on the unit.
