OVERVIEW

The Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitor uses an advanced MEMS metal oxide semiconductor sensor to detect poor air quality. The sensor reacts quickly to detect a broad range of VOCs such as smoke, cooking odors, bio-effluence, outdoor pollutants, and from human activities. The sensor captures all VOC emissions that are completely invisible to CO2 sensors and provides a linear analog signal output of 4–20 mA, 0–5, or 10–10 VDC and a Normally Open (NO) relay to control an alarm or ventilation fan in various ways.

In this example, the ERV does not run while unoccupied, set by timer. During occupancy, the ERV runs at variable Speed. IAQ Controller sets speed based on IAQ sensor levels. Remove the potentiometers by cutting the wires at the potentiometer. Cap the orange and purple wires from the potentiometer with wire nuts.

About RenewAire

For over 40 years, RenewAire has been a pioneer in enhancing indoor air quality (IAQ) in commercial and residential buildings of every size. This is achieved while maximizing sustainability through our fifth-generation, static- plate, enthalpic-core Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) that optimize energy efficiency, lower capital costs via load reduction and decrease operational expenses by minimizing equipment needs, resulting in significant energy savings. Our ERVs are competitively priced, simple to install, easy to use and maintain and have a quick payback. They also enjoy the industry’s best warranty with the lowest claims due to long-term reliability derived from innovative design practices, expert workmanship and Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM).
As the pioneer of static-plate core technology in North America, RenewAire is the largest ERV producer in the USA. We’re committed to sustainable manufacturing and lessening our environmental footprint, and to that end our Waunakee, WI plant is 100% powered by wind turbines. The facility is also one of the few buildings worldwide to be LEED and Green Globes certified, as well as having achieved ENERGY STAR Building status. In 2010, RenewAire joined the Soler & Palau (S&P) Ventilation Group in order to provide direct access to the latest in energy-efficient air-moving technologies.
