Low Pressure Switch
The system is protected against a loss of charge and low
evaporator coil loading condition by a low pressure switch
located on the suction line near the compressor. The
switch is stem−mounted. Trip setting is 54 psig ± 5 psig
(372 ± 34 kPa). Reset is automatic at 117 ± 5 psig (807 ±
34 kPa).

WARNING
!
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this WARNING can result in
personal injury.
Disconnect all electrical power when servicing the fan
motor. Apply appropriate lockout/tagout procedures.
Motors with 2.9 and 3.7 bhp are equipped with an internal
overtemperature or protection device. The type of device
depends on the motor size. See Table 8.
The High Static option supply fan motor is equipped with
a pilot−circuit Thermix combination overtemperature/

automatically. Do not bypass this switch to correct
trouble. Determine the cause and correct it.
The Thermik device is a snap−action overtemperature
protection device that is embedded in the motor windings.
The Thermik can be identified by two blue wires
extending out of the motor control box. It is a pilot−circuit
device that is wired into the unit's 24V control circuit.
When this switch reaches its trip setpoint, it opens the
24V control circuit and causes all unit operation to cease.
This device resets automatically when the motor windings
cool. Do not bypass this switch to correct trouble.
Determine the cause and correct it.
The External Overload Breaker is an overcurrent device
used on motors with a horsepower rating of 4.7 hp or
greater. This is a specially−calibrated circuit breaker that
is UL recognized as a motor overload controller. When
the current to the motor exceeds the circuit breaker
setpoint, the device opens all motor power leads to the
motor, shutting the motor down. Reset requires a manual
reset at the overload switch. This device (designated
IFCB) is located on the side of the supply fan housing,
behind the fan access panel. The Must Hold and Must Trip
values are listed on the side of the External Overload
Breaker.
Troubleshooting Supply Fan Motor Overload
Trips
The supply fan used in 581J units is a forward−curved
centrifugal wheel. At a constant wheel speed, this wheel
has a characteristic that causes the fan shaft load to
DECREASE when the static pressure in the unit−duct
system increases and to INCREASE when the static
pressure in the unit−duct system decreases (and fan
airflow
rate increases). Motor overload conditions

typically develop when the unit is operated with an access
panel removed, with unfinished duct work, in an
economizer−open mode, or a leak develops in the duct
system that allows a bypass back to unit return opening.

RTU−OPEN CONTROL SYSTEM
The RTU Open controller is an integrated component of
the

unit.
programming provides optimum performance and energy
efficiency. RTU Open enables the unit to run in 100%
stand−alone control mode, or a Third Party Building
Automation System (BAS). On−board DIP switches allow
you to select your protocol (and baud rate) of choice
among the four most popular protocols in use today:
BACnet, Modbus, Johnson N2 and LonWorks.
The RTU Open control is factory−mounted in the 581J
unit's main control box, to the left of the Light
Commercial Terminal Board (LCTB). See Fig. 43.
Factory wiring is completed through harnesses connected
to the LCTB. Field connections for RTU Open sensors
will be made at the Phoenix connectors on the RTU Open
board. The factory−installed RTU Open control includes
the supply−air temperature (SAT) sensor. The outdoor air

Sensory/Accessory Installation
There are a variety of sensors and accessories available
for the RTU−OPEN. Some of these can be factory or field
installed, while others are only field installable. The
RTU−OPEN controller may also require connection to a
building network system or building zoning system. All
field control wiring that connects to the RTU−OPEN must
be routed through the raceway built into the corner post of
the unit or secured to the unit control box with electrical
conduit. The unit raceway provides the UL required
clearance between high and low−voltage wiring. Pass the
control wires through the hole provided in the corner post,
then feed the wires thorough the raceway to the
RTU−OPEN. Connect the wires to the removable Phoenix
connectors and then reconnect the connectors to the board.
