Installation of the ICM325HNV shall be performed by trained technicians only. Adhere to all local and national electric codes.
Disconnect all power to the system before making any connections.
• Line voltage: 120-600 VAC
• Control voltage: 18-30 VAC
• Frequency: 50-60 Hz
• Operating temperature: -40ºF to +176ºF (-40°C to +75°C)
• Sensors: 10K ohms at 77°F (25°C)
• Heat pump override: 24 VAC N.C. or N.O.
Note: A maximum of three sensors can be connected to the control.
• Weight: 12 ounces (341 grams)
Note: The ICM325HNV should be applied to motors and equipment that have been designated by their respective manufacturers as capable of being speed controlled.
• Mounting:
– Surface mount using (4) #8 screws
– The ICM325HNV should be surface mounted to a clean metal or other thermally conductive surface for maximum heat dissipation
– It is recommended that the ICM325HNV be mounted away from the condenser exhaust air in order to maintain lower operating temperatures
Connections for ICM325HNV at 120/208/240 VAC

Connecting the Probe
1. Install the temperature probe several bends into the condenser. It can be
attached to the U-bend or placed between the fins in the upper 1/3 of the
condenser (see other side for more information).
Note: The response of the system can be fine tuned by repositioning the
probe. Place the probe on the condenser where it is 100°F when
pressures are correct for best response.
2. Connect the two wires from the sensor to the terminal block where it is marked PROBE S1. If
additional probes are necessary for multiple refrigerant circuits, they may be attached to terminals
marked PROBE S2 and PROBE S3.
Note: The control will respond to the probe that senses the highest temperature.

the heat pump select jumper must
be in the Default (N.O.) position,
and the HP terminals must be left
unconnected.
