Dirty Filter Sensor
Dirty filter sensors monitor pressure drop across the 
outdoor air filters, exhaust air filters or both. If the 
pressure drop across the filters exceeds the set point, 
the sensor will close a set of contacts in the unit 
control center. Field wiring of a light (or other alarm) 
to these contacts will notify maintenance personnel 
when filters need to be replaced.
The switch has not been set at the factory due to 
external system losses that will affect the switch. This 
switch will need minor field adjustments after the unit 
has been installed with all ductwork complete. The 
dirty filter switch is mounted in the unit control center.
To adjust the switch, the unit must be running with 
all of the access doors in place. The adjusting 
screw is located on the top of the switch. Open the 
filter compartment and place a sheet of plastic or 
cardboard over 50% of the filter media. Replace 
the filter compartment door. Check to see if there 
is power at the alert signal leads (refer to electrical 
diagram).
Whether there is power or not, turn the adjustment 
screw on the dirty filter gauge (clockwise if you did 
not have power, counterclockwise if you did have 
power) until the power comes on or just before the 
power goes off. Open the filter compartment and 
remove the obstructing material. Replace the door 
and check to make sure that you do not have power 
at the alert signal leads. The unit is now ready for 
operation.
Setscrew (on front of switch) must
be manually adjusted after the
system is in operation.
Negative pressure connection
is toward the ‘front or top’ of
the switch. (senses blower side
of filters)
Positive pressure connection is toward the ‘back or
bottom’ of the switch. (senses air inlet side of filters)

Sensor
This accessory is often used to provide a modulating 
control signal to a variable frequency drive to raise 
and lower airflow in relationship to the CO
2
levels
in the space. This strategy is often referred to as 
Demand Control Ventilation and provides further 
energy savings to the system. Follow instructions 
supplied with sensor for installation and wiring details.
Service Outlet
120 VAC GFCI service outlet ships 
loose for field installation. Requires 
separate power source so power is 
available when unit main disconnect is 
turned off for servicing.
Vapor Tight Lights
Vapor tight lights provide light to each of the 
compartments in the energy 
recovery unit. The lights are wired 
to a junction box mounted on the 
outside of the unit. The switch to 
turn the lights on is located in the 
unit control center. The switch 
requires a separate power source 
to allow for power to the lights 
when the unit main disconnect is 
off for servicing.
