10.1. FMD Modules to Control the Indoor Fan Speed

The FMD-0x modules are designed to control the speed of the DC motor of the indoor unit
fan using the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). The modules are built on a PCB (Printed
Circuit Board) with dimensions of 78x43mm and with one hole of 4mm diameter for the fixing
screw 3.5x16mm. Types of the FMD module differ by the PCB component mounting and
mechanical design.

FMD-01, FMD-01T module

The FMD-01 module provides a passage for the fan motor supply voltage of +300V and has
a switching power supply of +15V to power the electronics of the outdoor unit. The module
converts the input PWM signal to the fan DC control voltage +(2.1±0.2 to 5.4 ± 0.5)V and
does not have a connected feedback between the fan and the control unit. Due to the size of
the switching power supply, the FMD-01 board is not in the box; it has only the rubber feet
and is attached by a 3.5x16mm screw to the support plate to which the terminal block and
the control board of the indoor unit are attached. Insert the terminal with red and blue wires
into the DC-MOTOR 1 terminal of the control board and insert the fan motor terminal into the
output terminal on the FMD-01 module. After powering the indoor unit, you must first open
the louvres, which direct the air flow, into the required position using the remote control. After
opening the louvres, it is suggested to disconnect the terminal on the control board in order
to disable the remote control receiver module and thus prevent undesirable operation of the
indoor unit.
There are two versions of the FMD-01 module:
In the version with trimmer resistor FMD-01T (trimmer potentiometer), it is necessary to set
the required speed using the trimmer resistor after connecting the module to the indoor unit
(according to the previous text). You should be careful when doing so. Use the appropriate
fine screwdriver and avoid using force to prevent the damage of the mechanical stops on the
limit positions of the trimmer.
In the second version (FMD-01), the indoor fan speed is set remotely using the PWM output
of the SCMI-01.4 control unit. In this case, you must connect this unit with the FMD-01
module via wiring, which connects the corresponding VE+ and VE- terminals on the SCMI-
01.4 (terminals 11 and 12) unit and FMD-01 module. After that, the indoor fan speed can be
set by the SCMI-01.4 control unit as follows:
Fixed -
Auto 1
-
Auto 2
-
Off -
A more detailed description of setting the indoor fan speed is described in the user's guide
for the SCMI-01.4 unit, section 4.6.

FMD-02 module

The FMD-02 module provides a passage for both the fan motor supply voltage of +300V and
outdoor unit electronics supply voltage of +15V (does not have a built-in switching power
supply of +15V). The module converts the input PWM signal to the fan DC control voltage
