Spectroscopic observations around the Hα line
and BVR photometry of the eclipsing, short-period, RS CVn-type
star ER Vul are presented. The solutions of new radial velocity
and light curves yielded the following masses and radii of the
components: 
, 
, 
, 
. The equatorial velocities corresponding to the
measured rotational broadenings of the spectral lines are: 
km s-1 and 
km s-1. Their ratio
is just equal to the ratio of the stellar radii. We detected
excess emission in the Hα and CaI 6494 lines that
changes during the orbital cycle. Our spectral data show the
presence of absorbing matter around the mass center of the system.
