ECM FAN MOTOR
CFM Adjust settings: The CFM adjust setting
allows four selections. The NORM setting is the
factory default position. The + or – settings adjust
the airfl ow by +/- 15%. The +/- settings are used to
“fi ne tune” airfl ow adjustments. The TEST setting
runs the ECM motor at 70% torque, which causes
the motor to operate like a standard PSC motor, and
disables the CFM counter.
Dehumidifi cation Mode settings: The
dehumidifi cation mode setting provides fi eld
selection of humidity control. When operating in
the normal mode, the cooling airfl ow settings are
determined by the cooling tap setting above. When
dehumidifi cation is enabled there is a reduction in
airfl ow in cooling to increase the moisture removal
of the heat pump. Consult specifi cations catalog
for the specifi c unit series and model to correlate
speed tap to airfl ow in CFM. The dehumidifi cation
mode can be enabled in two ways.
1. Constant Dehumidifi cation Mode: When the
dehumidifi cation mode is selected (via DIP
switch or jumper setting), the ECM motor will
operate with a multiplier applied to the cooling
CFM settings (approx. 20-25% lower airfl ow).
Any time the unit is running in the cooling mode,
it will operate at the lower airfl ow to improve
latent capacity. The “DEHUM” LED will be
illuminated at all times. Heating airfl ow is not
affected. NOTE: Do not select dehumidifi cation
mode if cooling setting is tap 1.
2.
Automatic (Humidistat-controlled)
Dehumidifi cation Mode: When the
dehumidifi cation mode is selected (via DIP switch
or jumper setting) AND a humidistat is connected
to terminal DH (version II) or HUM (version
I), the cooling airfl ow will only be reduced
when the humidistat senses that additional
dehumidifi cation is required. The DH (or HUM)
terminal is reverse logic. Therefore, a humidistat
(not dehumidistat) is required. The Thermidistat
output operates in reverse logic, and is
compatible with the dehumidifcation mode.
The “DEHUM” LED will be illuminated only when
the humidistat is calling for dehumidifi cation
mode. Heating airfl ow is not affected. NOTE:
Do not select dehumidifi cation mode if cooling
setting is tap 1.
The ECM fan is controlled by an interface board
that converts thermostat inputs and fi eld selectable
CFM settings to signals used by the ECM motor
controller. Units manufactured before July 2005
have version I (P/N 69243707). Units manufactured
after July 2005 have version II (P/N 17B0019N01).
Fan speeds are selected with jumpers for version
I or via a nine position DIP switch for version II. To
take full advantage of the ECM motor features, a
multi-stage thermostat should be used (2-stage
heat/2-stage cool or 3-stage heat/2-stage cool).
Note: Power must be off to the unit for at least three
seconds before the ECM motor will recognize a
speed change. The motor will recognize a change
in the CFM Adjust or dehumidifi cation mode
settings while the unit is powered.
There are four different airfl ow settings from lowest
airfl ow rate (speed tap 1) to the highest airfl ow rate
(speed tap 4). The charts below indicate settings for
both versions of the ECM interface board, followed
by detailed information for each setting.
Cooling settings: The cooling setting determines the
cooling (normal) CFM for all units with ECM motor.
Cooling (normal) setting is used when the unit is not in
dehumidifi cation mode. This setting also determines
the heating CFM for GT-G (50YC) and GT-X (50YB)
units. Tap 1 is the lowest CFM setting, while tap 4 is
the highest CFM setting. To avoid air coil freeze-up,
tap 1 may not be used if the dehumidifi cation mode
is selected. Consult specifi cations catalog for the
specifi c unit series and model to correlate speed tap
setting to airfl ow in CFM.
Heating settings: The heating setting determines
the heating CFM for GT-PX (50YD) and GT-PG
(50YE) units. This setting is not used for GT-G
(50YC) and GT-X (50YB) units. Tap 1 is the lowest
CFM setting, while tap 4 is the highest CFM setting.
Consult specifi cations catalog for the specifi c unit
series and model to correlate speed tap setting to
airfl ow in CFM.
Auxiliary/Emergency Heat settings: The auxiliary/
emergency heat setting determines the CFM when
the unit is in auxiliary heat or emergency heat mode.
This setting is used for residential units with internal
electric heat. When auxiliary electric heat is energized
(i.e. compressor and electric heat), the greater of the
auxiliary/emergency or heating setting will be used. A
“G” (fan) signal must be present from the thermostat
for electric heat to operate. Consult the specifi cations
catalog for the specifi c unit series and model to
correlate speed tap setting to airfl ow in CFM.
