Description
The CRVS-3A ventilator is designed to be used with Bard heat pump models T24H, T30H and T30S. It is an electromechanical vent system designed to provide fresh air to meet indoor air quality standards.

Models
When installed in the above listed models, the CRV provides built-in exhaust provisions. When the damper blade opens to bring fresh air in, the damper also opens an exhaust relief. The exhaust air will flow into the condenser section of the unit. The condenser fan will help draw exhaust air out.

CRV Features

• One piece construction – easy to install.
• Exhaust air damper – built in with positive closed position. Provides exhaust air capability to prevent pressurization of tight buildings.
• Actuator motor – 24 volt, power open, spring return with built in torque limiting switch.

WARNING
Electrical shock hazard.
Disconnect remote electrical power supply or supplies before servicing.
Failure to do so could result in electric shock or death.

WARNING
Exposed moving parts.
Disconnect all electrical power before servicing.
Failure to do so can result in severe injury or amputation.

CAUTION
Sharp metallic edges.
Take care and wear appropriate protective devices to avoid accidental contact with sharp edges.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury.

Sequence of Operation
On a call for blower operation, CRV will open to pre-purge position as set by “PP” potentiometer for the amount of time set by the PP jumper. The CRV will then move to the position set by the “OCC” potentiometer. If PP jumper is in 0 position, the CRV will immediately open to the position set by the “OCC” potentiometer.

NOTE: These sequence descriptions do not apply if CO2 controller is used. The CRV will control according to observed CO2 levels in the conditioned space. Refer to information on page 8.
A call for 1st stage cooling or heating cycles the compressor, and the dampers reposition to the Y1 potentiometer setpoint. A call for 2nd stage cooling or heating energizes compressor solenoid and repositions the damper blade to the Y2 potentiometer position. On loss of blower operation, CRV closes fully.

INSTALLATION

Basic Installation

• Unpack the ventilator assembly which includes the integral ventilator with attached electrical harness and miscellaneous hardware.
  WARNING Open and lock disconnect switch before installing this accessory to prevent injury or death due to electrical shock or contact with moving parts. Turn thermostat to off. Model| For Use with Following Units

• Install ventilator into unit (see Figure 3).
  IMPORTANT: Position front lip of ventilator on top of front grille and condenser partition (see Figure 3 inset). This is important to ensure proper drainage of any water entering damper assembly.

• Open control panel to gain access to unit low voltage terminal block.

• Route electrical harness leads through the 7/8″ bushings in control panel into low voltage box (as shown in Figure 3).

FIGURE 3 Install Ventilator

• Make the following connections from the CRV wire harness to the screw terminals on the low voltage terminal strip:

  • Brown/White wire to the “01” terminal
  • Black/White wire to the “C” terminal
  • Red/White wire to the “R” terminal
  • Orange wire to the “G” terminal
  • Yellow/White wire to the “Y” terminal
  • Purple wire to the “Y1” terminal

• Close control panel cover

• Replace left filter support, filter and four (4) screws in condenser grille.

• Re-install the blower access panel at top of unit and secure with sheet metal screws.

• Ventilator Checkout

  • Resupply power to unit.

  • Move “PP” jumper on CRV control board (Bard P/N 8201-167) to the 30-minute position.

  • Ventilator should open to the position
    set by the “PP” potentiometer. Cycle the potentiometer from full open to full closed. Observe damper blade operation throughout travel to assure free, unobstructed movement. Return “PP” potentiometer to desired position for pre- purge airflow (refer to graphs 1 and 2 on pages xx-xx). Move the “PP” jumper to the 0 position. Ventilator should open to the position set by the “OCC” potentiometer.
    Energize Y; ventilator should open to the position set by the “Y1” potentiometer. Energize Y1; ventilator should open to the position set by the “Y2” potentiometer.

  • De-energize evaporator blower. Damper blade should close.

  • If pre-purge function is desired, move “PP” jumper to the 30-, 60-, or 90-minute position depending on desired pre-purge time.

  • This completes ventilator checkout.

• Replace mist eliminator. Be sure it is installed with the drain holes to the bottom.

• Remove blank off plate or barometric fresh air damper installed on service access door. Plug four (4) mounting holes with the plastic plugs provided with the ventilator.

• Replace service access panel.

• Ventilator is now ready for operation.

• If retrofitting an existing unit, thermostat connection may change. See latest revision of manual 2100-507, 2100-516 or 2100-554 for proper thermostat connections to low voltage terminal strip with this CRVS.

CO2 Control
For CO2-based control, add a CO2 sensor/controller (Bard P/N 8403-096) to the wall and run additional optional wires as shown in Figure 5 on page 9.
The CO2 controller also must be re-configured from the standard default settings as it comes out of the box. See Figure 4 on page 8 for complete details.

Blade Adjustment for Desired Ventilator Air
The amount of ventilation air supplied by the commercial room ventilator is dependent on four (4) factors:

• Return air duct static pressure drop.
• Supply air duct static pressure drop.
• Indoor blower motor speed.
• Damper blade open position setting.

Refer to the graph below to determine the blade setting necessary to achieve the ventilation air required for each operating mode.
Factory default settings are:

• PP Potentiometer Closed Closed
• OCC Potentiometer C C
• Y1 Potentiometer C C
• Y2 Potentiometer C C

Vent is factory set to supply between 100 and 150 CFM of fresh air in all modes of occupied operation.
For more accurate adjustment, use a flow hood over the intake opening to measure and adjust the airflow operation.
PP Potentiometer: Adjusts the airflow during pre-purge mode (if jumper is installed in positions 30-90).
OCC Potentiometer: Adjusts the airflow during blower-only operation, or during an occupied input from an applicable thermostat.
Y1 Potentiometer: Adjusts the airflow during 1st stage cooling or heating operation.
Y2 Potentiometer: Adjusts the airflow during 2nd stage cooling or heating operation.
Energize blower-only mode and adjust OCC potentiometer to desired airflow.
Energize 1st stage cooling mode and adjust Y1 potentiometer to desired airflow.
Energize 2nd stage cooling mode and adjust Y2 potentiometer to desired airflow.
If pre-purge mode is desired, de-energize cooling modes. Move PP jumper to the 30-, 60-, or 90-minute position and adjust PP potentiometer to desired airflow.
Minimum damper position when using CO2 control damper should be fully closed at 700 ppm or lower, if not OCC potentiometer OCC can be adjusted counter- clockwise (CCW) to close it. If it is fully closed at 700 ppm or lower, no adjustments required.

CRV Control Board

“V” Option CRV Sequence of Operation
The “V” Ventilation option includes a control board with blade positioning potentiometers along with an input for a 2-10V input signal (see Figure 7).

Adjustable potentiometers:
“PP” Potentiometer setting: This potentiometer can be used to adjust the blade setting for outdoor air intake during a pre-purge cycle. The pre-purge cycle time is based on the setting of the pre-purge timer.
“OCC” Potentiometer setting: This potentiometer can be used to adjust the blade setting for outdoor air intake when the “01” terminal is energized on the low voltage terminal strip indicating occupancy.
“Y1” Potentiometer setting: This potentiometer can be used to adjust the blade setting for outdoor air intake when the “Y” terminal is energized on the low voltage terminal strip indicating 1st stage cooling or Balanced Climate operation. When energized, it overrides the
“OCC” potentiometer setting.
“Y2” Potentiometer setting: This potentiometer can be used to adjust the blade setting for outdoor air intake when the “Y1” terminal is energized on the low voltage terminal strip indicating 2nd stage cooling operation. When energized, it overrides the “OCC” and “Y1” potentiometer settings.

Pre-Purge Feature
Pre-purge is used to ventilate a specified CFM amount before occupants enter the room or structure. The control board has a built-in pre-purge timer that can be set to 30-, 60- and 90-minute intervals by moving the jumper noted in Figure 6 on page 11. This timer will start when the jumper is installed and the “01” terminal is energized on the low voltage terminal strip. Blade adjustment can be made on the PP potentiometer. Once the timer has timed out, the board will default to the occupied setting and this blade position can
be adjusted on the OCC potentiometer. If the timer is set to 0 (off—shipped position), the occupied setting is instantaneous and the pre-purge setting (PP) is no longer in the sequence.

Occupied Setting
Occupied is used to ventilate a specified CFM amount when occupants enter the room or structure. The control board will energize the occupied setting
after the pre-purge cycle, or if pre-purge is disabled immediately when the “01” terminal is energized on the low voltage strip. Blade adjustment can be made on the OCC potentiometer.

Y1 Setting
Y1 is used to ventilate a specified CFM amount when Y cooling is energized. The control board will energize the Y1 setting when Y is energized on the low voltage strip. Blade adjustment can be made on the Y1

potentiometer. This potentiometer setting overrides the OCC occupied setting.

Y2 Setting
Y2 is used to ventilate a specified CFM amount when Y1 cooling is energized. The control board will energize the Y2 setting when Y1 is energized on the low voltage strip. Blade adjustment can be made on the Y2 potentiometer. This potentiometer setting overrides the OCC occupied and the Y1 setting.

2-10V Operation
A CO2 sensor or other device sending a 2-10V signal can be used to control the damper motor. Two control methods are available to control the damper motor:

• Method 1: The control board will accept a 2- 10VDC signal with a resistive load greater than 5000 ohms. Bard CO2 sensor 8403-096 can be used when the 2-10V output is connected to the blade connector on the unladed gray wire from the CRV, located near the unit low voltage terminal strip. The occupied OCC potentiometer setting must be set to the off position for total modulation. The OCC potentiometer can be used to maintain a minimum blade position when “01” is energized.
• Method 2: The damper motor will accept a 2- 10VDC signal with a resistive load less than 5000 ohms. This method involves bypassing the control board and powering the motor directly from the device providing the 2-10VDC modulating signal. The gray wire connected to CO2 VIN on the control board must be spliced with the white wire ran to the damper motor (OUT on control board). The other end of the gray wire should be connected to the CO2 sensor as stated in Method 1.

During 2-10VDC operation with “01” energized and pre-purge timed operation active, DC voltage signaling occupancy from a source such as a CO2 sensor will increase ventilation amounts as needed.
