Figure 22. 3-Speed, Potentiometer Adjustment (ECO V 2 Only) (E025-71481108) Potentiometers Note: The unit has been factory configured to produce PSC equivalent airflow on high speed, with medium and low speed set at 80% and 60% of high, respectively. If these setting are acceptable, then no further configuring is required. If alternative airflows are desired, use board mounted pots to adjust the airflow associated with each input. To reset to initial factory settings, reference the voltages found on the sticker next to the pots. Each output can be adjusted from 0 to 100% of the motor’s factory programmed operating range. Increasing the voltage increases airflow, decreasing the voltage decreases airflow. Adjusting the potentiometers requires the use of a Multi-meter capable of measuring 0~5 vdc. 1. Only trained and qualified individuals should attempt to adjust or service components on any electrical component. Failure to follow safety rules could result in electrical shock or hazard.
