Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Please read and save these instructions for future reference. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage!

Temperature and Humidity Controller (PN 387127)

The Temperature and Humidity Controller is specifically designed to control a Vari-Green fan motor. The Temperature and Humidity Controller will sense the temperature and humidity in the space and will automatically adjust the speed of a supply or exhaust fan to adjust the ventilation rate accordingly. The temperature measurement will be compared to a field adjustable temperature setpoint, processed through a Proportional/Integral/ Derivative (PID) control algorithm to produce a 2 to 10 VDC fan motor control output. The humidity measurement will be compared to a field adjustable humidity setpoint, processed through a PID control algorithm to produce a 2 to 10 VDC fan motor control output. If the unit is in temperature only mode the temperature algorithm’s output shall be used to provide the fan motor control output. When the unit is in humidity-only mode the humidity algorithm’s output shall be used to provide the fan motor control output. When the unit is in temperature and humidity mode the algorithm with the greatest output shall be used to provide the fan motor control output.
When all active algorithms are satisfied, the output voltage shall be set to its lowest value, 2 VDC. If the temperature is 1°F below the temperature setpoint in temperature control and the humidity is 3% below the humidity setpoint in humidity control or both in temperature and humidity control, the voltage output may be set to zero (optional cutout mode). The unit will resume normal fan operation if the temperature changes by 1°F or the humidity changes by 5%.

Ventilating based on the temperature and humidity measurements assures that the space will not be over or under-ventilated while using the Vari-Green motor technology to operate quietly and efficiently. The Temperature and Humidity Controller has adjustments for etpoint, minimum and maximum fan speed. The fan speed and temperature or humidity level are available as an analog output to be read by a building control system or other devices.

General Safety Information

Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.

CAUTION
When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before servicing.

CAUTION
Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.

Electrical Safety Information

Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA). Where
applicable, follow the Canadian Electric Code.

1. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be free to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary objects.
2. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.
3. Do not spin fan wheel faster than maximum cataloged fan RPM. Adjustment to fan speed significantly affects motor load. If fan RPM is changed, motor current should be checked to make sure it is not exceeding the motor nameplate amps.
4. Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals. Replace cord immediately if damaged.
5. Verify that the power source is compatible with the equipment.
6. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is running.

Receiving

Upon receiving the product check to make sure all items are accounted for by referencing the bill of lading to ensure all items were received. Inspect each crate for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify the carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier will make notification on the delivery receipt acknowledging any damage to the product. All damage should be noted on all the copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report should be filled out by the carrier upon arrival and reported to the Traffic Department. If damaged upon arrival, file a Claim with carrier. Any physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of Greenheck Fan Corporation.

Unpacking

Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of each item have been received. If any items are missing, report shortages to your local representative to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped together due to availability of transportation and truck space. Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the bill of lading.

Electrical

The motor amperage and voltage ratings must be checked for compatibility to supply voltage prior to final electrical connection. Wiring must conform
to local and national codes. Consult local code authorities for specific requirements.

Storage

Product is protected against damage during shipment. If the product cannot be installed and operated immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of the product during storage. The user assumes responsibility of the product and accessories while in storage. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user.

Indoor Only

Do not store this product outdoors. The ideal environment for the storage of this product is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity atmosphere which ts sealed to prevent the entry of blowing dust, rain or snow. Temperatures should be evenly maintained between 30° to 110°F (-1° to 43°C) (wide temperature swings may cause condensation and “sweating’ of metal parts). All accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. Allow cold parts to reach room temperature to avoid “sweating” of metal parts. To dry parts and packages, use a portable electric heater to get rid of any moisture buildup. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for periodic inspection. The unit should not be stored on the floor.

Inspection and Maintenance During Storage

While in storage, inspect product once per month.
Keep a record of inspection and maintenance performed. If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the source should be located and eliminated.

Installation and Setup Guide

This guide provides instructions for how to install, wire and program the control system for use when constant pressure in a duct or room system is required. This does not cover ductwork recommendations or other considerations.

Mounting

Mount the controller in the space to be controlled.
Keep wire lengths between the controller and the fan to 100 feet or less.

1. Separate the unit from the back plate by driving in the Allen screw until the two pieces come free.
2. Pull the wire through the wall and out of the junction box, leaving about six inches free.
3. Pull the wire through the hole in the back plate.
4. Secure the plate to the box using the #6-32 x 5/8 inch mounting screws provided.
5. Terminate the unit wiring.
6. Mold the foam on the unit’s base to the wire bundle to prevent drafts. (see note below)
7. Attach Cover by latching it to the top of the base, rotating the cover down and snapping it into place.
8. Secure the cover by backing out the lock-down screw using a 1/16 inch Allen wrench until it is flush with the bottom of the cover.

Drywall Mounting

1. Separate the unit from the back plate by driving in the Allen screw until the two pieces come free.
2. Place the back plate against the wall where you want to mount the sensor.
3. Using a pencil mark out the two mounting holes and the area where the wires will come through the wall.
4. Drill two 3/16 inch holes in the center of each marked mounting hole, DO NOT punch the holes or the drywall anchors will not hold. Insert a drywall anchor into each hole.
5. Drill one 1/2 inch hole in the middle of the marked wiring area.
6. Pull the wire through the wall and out of the 1/2 Inch hole, leaving about six inches free.
7. Pull the wire through the hole in the back plate.
8. Secure the base to the drywall anchors using the #6 x 1 inch mounting screws provided.
