B- Indoor Blower Motor
IMPORTANT
Each blower is statically and dynamically balanced
as an assembly before installation in the unit.
Units are equipped with a constant torque ECM motor. It
has a DC motor coupled to an electronic control module
both contained in the same motor housing. The motor is
programmed to provide constant torque at each of the five
selectable speed taps. Each tap requires 24 volts to en-
ergize.
Input Voltage Requirements
The circuit is designed to be operated with AC voltage. To
enable a tap requires 12 to 33VAC. Expected current draw
will be less than 20mA.
Troubleshooting the Motor
Troubleshooting the motor is an easy process. Follow
steps below.
1 - Shut off power to unit.
2 - Remove input plugs P48 and P49 from motor. See
figure 8 for troubleshooting procedure.
If correct voltage is present in tests 1 and 2 and motor
is not operating properly, replace motor. The motor is not
field repairable.
If replacing the indoor blower motor or blower wheel is
necessary, placement is critical. The blower wheel must
be centered in the blower housing as shown in figure 6.
When replacing the indoor blower motor the set screw
must be aligned and tightened with the motor shaft as
shown in figure 7.
