Belt Drive Supply Air Inverter - Lennox LCH092H Unit Information

VII-Belt Drive Supply Air Inverter
NOTE - Units equipped a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)
are designed to operate on balanced, three-phase power.
Operating units on unbalanced three-phase power will re­
duce the reliability of all electrical components in the unit.
Unbalanced power is a result of the power delivery system
supplied by the local utility company. Factory-installed in­
verters are sized to drive blower motors with an equivalent
current rating using balanced three-phase power. If unbal­
anced three-phase power is supplied; the installer must re­
place the existing factory-installed inverter with an inverter
that has a higher current rating to allow for the imbalance.
Refer to the installation instructions for additional informa­
tion and available replacements.
The supply air inverter or variable frequency drive (VFD), is
located in the compressor compartment. The VFD stages the
amount of supply airflow according to the number of com­
pressors operating.
The amount of airflow for each stage is set in the Unit Con­
troller when the unit is initially commissioned. Each value is
recorded on a label on the inside of the compressor access
panel. Settings can also be read on the Unit Controller dis­
play. Use one of the following menus.
M2 Unit Controller
24VAC required

inverter.
See 537407-01.
INPUTS REQUIRED TO STAGE SUPPLY AIR BLOWER
0-10VDC signal from the Unit Controller is
used to vary the supply air blower stage.
This signal is polarity sensitive - if supply
air flow is not staging, reverse leads.
The Unit Controller (A55) energizes K203
relay coil. N.O. K203-2 closes to enable
supply air blower forward rotation.
M2 Unit Controllers:
Data > Status > Blower
M3 Unit Controllers:

STATUS
Use figure 34 to determine whether the VFD should be pro­
viding a staged output to the blower motor.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Failure to follow instructions exactly could result in
serious injury or death.
VFD HOLDS A POTENTIALLY LETHAL CHARGE UP
TO 10 MINUTES AFTER POWER HAS BEEN
DISCONNECTED. Do not open VFD cover until 10
minutes AFTER
disconnected and power lamp has turned off.
Read manual provided by VFD manufacturer.
Carefully review and follow all safety warnings in that
manual also.

VFD feedback circuit; a
VFD fault condition will
open N.C. contacts, shut
down the VFD, and the
Unit Controller will display
an alarm.
