Diagnostic LEDs located on the BDC3 control board are
provided to aid in identifying the unit's mode of operation.
Certain scenarios will arise depending on the jumper
positions. Read through the jumper settings sections
before adjusting Blower speed. Refer to figure 15 for
identification.

DIAGNOSTIC LEDS

Step 1.
RUN LED indicates there is a demand for the
Blower motor to run.
Step 2.
CFM LED indicates the CFM at which the unit is
operating.
The
approximately every 100 CFM. For example, if
the unit is operating at 1000 CFM, CFM LED will
flash 10 times. If the CFM is 1150, CFM LED will
flash 11 full times plus one fast or half flash.
At times the light may appear to flicker or glow. This takes
place when the control is communicating with the motor
between cycles. This is normal operation.

The appropriate speed according to application and CFM
need is selected by moving jumper pins.
Before changing jumper setting, make sure the
motor has completely stopped. Any jumper setting
change will not take place while the motor is
running.
Table 4 lists the recommended factory Blower speed tap
selections for CB31MV series units. These settings are for
nominal tonnage match−ups with the CB31MV. When
matched with other sizes, it is recommended that the CFM
be adjusted to approximately 400 CFM per ton.
To change jumper positions, gently pull the jumper off the
pins and place it on the desired set of pins. The following
section outlines the different jumper selections available
and conditions associated with each one as illustrated in
figure 15.
After the CFM for each application has been determined,
the jumper settings must be adjusted to reflect those given
in tables 5 and 6. From the tables, determine which row of
CFM volumes most closely matches the desired CFM.
Once a specific row has been chosen (+, NORMAL, or −),
CFM volumes from other rows cannot be used. Below are
descriptions of the jumper selections.
ADJUST JUMPERS
The ADJUST pins allow the motor to run at normal speed,
approximately 10% higher, or approximately 10% lower than
normal speed. Table 5 gives three rows (+, NORMAL, and −)
with their respective CFM volumes. Notice that the normal
adjustment setting for heat speed position #3 is 1315 CFM.
The + adjustment setting for that position is 1445 CFM and
for the − adjustment setting is 1185 CFM. After the
for
adjustment setting has been determined, chose the
remainder speed jumper settings from those offered in the
table in that row.
The TEST pin is available to bypass the BDC3 control and
run the motor at approximately 70% to test that the motor is
operational. This is beneficial primarily in troubleshooting.
G must be energized for motor to run.
