Commercial Room Ventilator Features
- Exhaust air damper: Built-in with a positive closed position to prevent pressurization of tight buildings.
- Actuator motor: 24 volt, power open, spring return with a built-in torque limiting switch.
Description
The CRV-F5 ventilator is designed for specific Bard Wall Mount Air Conditioner and Heat Pump models with "letter" revision codes. The factory-installed vent is denoted by the letter "M" in the unit model nomenclature. This electromechanical vent system provides fresh air to meet indoor air quality standards.
Models
When installed in the listed models, the CRV-F5 provides built-in exhaust provisions. When the damper blade opens for fresh air intake, it also opens an exhaust relief. The condenser fan assists in drawing exhaust air out when operating with the compressor in cooling or heat pump mode.
Basic Installation
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 electrical power before servicing. Failure to do so could result in severe injury or amputation.
CAUTION: Cut hazard. Wear gloves to avoid contact with sharp edges. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
- Disconnect all power to the unit. [Power Disconnect Symbol]
- Remove both side grilles. [Side Grille Removal]
- Remove the upper blower door and outer control panel cover. [Blower Door and Control Panel Cover Removal]

- Connect the 3000-1622 wire assembly. Snap the 4-pin connector into the opening next to the low voltage box and plug the 12-pin male connector into the female plug in the low voltage box. [Wire Assembly Connection]
- Install the vent from the side. Slide the CRV onto the exhaust partition until flush with the side of the wall mount. [Vent Installation]
- Ensure the control plug is centered in the plug access opening on the front panel of the CRV. [Control Plug Centering]
- From the front, through the filter opening, plug the CRV power plug into the control panel plug. [CRV Power Plug Connection]
- The CRV exhaust blade is secured in the shipping position by the actuator blade stop. Remove the blade stop to release the blade. Proceed with caution as the actuator is spring-loaded. [Blade Stop Removal]
- Set the blade stop using the airflow charts on pages 9-12 to achieve the desired ventilation air. Loosen the screw on the actuator blade stop, slide to the desired setting using the notches and marks on the label, and tighten the screw. [Blade Stop Adjustment]
- Install the 539-405 intake sealing frame and the 543-223 lower block off plates on both sides. Install two (2) 1913-002-0708 7-1/2" foam gaskets below the intake sealing frame on both sides. [Intake Sealing Frame and Block Off Plate Installation]
- Bend the two (2) sheet metal tabs in the condenser partition up to hold the bottom of the mist eliminator. Install the 7003-084 mist filters on both sides. Re-install the side grilles. [Mist Filter Installation]
- Remove the front lower (condenser) grille. Bend the two (2) sheet metal tabs in the condenser partition up to hold the bottom of the bug screen. Install two (2) 1913-002-0808 8-1/2" foam gaskets to the sides of the cabinet. Install the 7003-083 exhaust bug screen. Re-install the grille. [Bug Screen and Gasket Installation]
- Restore power to the unit. Energize the "A" terminal to test blade operation. Disconnect power after testing.
- Install both filters, then re-install the inner control panel cover, outer control panel cover, and upper blower door.
- Restore power to the unit.
Control System Notes
This ventilation package can be set to meet current ASHRAE specifications for minimum occupied airflow rates.
On/Off Operation
Energizing the "A" terminal during occupied conditions drives the fresh air damper to the pre-selected fixed position. The "G" terminal operates the indoor blower.
Blade Adjustment for Desired Ventilator Air
The amount of ventilation air is dependent on return air duct static pressure drop, supply air duct static pressure drop, indoor blower motor speed, and damper blade open position setting. Refer to the appropriate graph on pages 9-12 to determine the necessary blade setting for the required ventilation air.

Sequence of Operation
On/Off ventilation options are energized when the "A" low voltage strip terminal is energized, indicating occupancy, and de-energize when the signal is removed. The "G" low voltage strip terminal operates the indoor blower. The "M" On/Off CRV vent option uses a 24 VAC motor to open the damper blade to a pre-adjusted setting. The incoming airflow amount depends on the blower speed during unit operation.
Figures 25 & 26: Airflow Diagrams
Figure 25 illustrates the airflow path during a call for ventilation with or without compressor operation. Figure 26 shows the airflow path for compressor or fan-only operation with ventilation off. These diagrams depict outdoor air intake, mist eliminators, intake blades, exhaust air, bug screens, condenser air, and the condenser coil.
