To remove the filter, open the filter clips. Re-install the filter by
placing the frame in its track, then closing the filter clips.
MANUAL OUTSIDE AIR HOOD SCREEN
This inlet screen is secured by a retainer angle across the top
edge of the hood. (See Fig. 4.)

To remove the screen, loosen the screws in the top retainer and
slip the retainer up until the filter can be removed. Re-install by
placing the frame in its track, rotating the retainer back down,
and tightening all screws.

Supply Fan (Direct-Drive)

All GC units have the EcoBlue™ direct drive vane axial fan
system. The fan is driven by an ECM motor with speed that is
user set through the Unit Control Board (UCB). Speeds are ful-
ly configurable from 40% to 100% of motor's maximum
speed. See Fig. 5 and 6.

EVALUATING MOTOR SPEED
The direct drive ECM blower motor uses a constant speed de-
sign. Motor speed is controlled by a 0-10Vdc signal, where
10Vdc is equal to motor's maximum RPM.
SELECTING FAN SPEED
All units come factory set for 7.8Vdc or approximately 78% of
the motor's maximum speed. Fan speed should be set per job
specification CFM (cubic feet per minute) and ESP (external
static pressure) required and per Fan speed set up label includ-
ed on the unit's high voltage cover. In some cases, the Fan
Speed Set Up label may already include the field setting if unit
was previously installed. Check the box on the lower half of
the label to see if the field voltage setting was filled in and if
so, set fan speed to that voltage. Otherwise see detailed instruc-
tions below.
NOTE: Fan Speed Set-Up is for full load airflow. If the unit
has multiple stages of cooling, low cool and ventilation may
operate at lower fan rpms. This offset is factory set and con-
trolled by the UCB. If fan speed verification is being done with
a strobe, fan speed should be verified in all unit operation
modes.
