DANGER! Risk of fire or explosion. To be repaired only by trained service personnel. Do not puncture refrigerant tubing Within the compressor, PAG (Polyalkylene Glycol) oil is used to lubricate the compressor. Contact Aspen for the MSDS on PAG oil.
The provided fans each generates 190 cfm (without restriction). Aspen Systems does NOT recommend using the available voltage output on the compressor drive board to operate the fan. Please connect the fan directly to a 24 VDC supply (FP00152) or 48 VDC supply (FP00171). See Figure 2 for airflow direction.

VDC – 27 VDC. The LCM may draw up to 17.0 A of current during normal operation (compressor and fans combined). Aspen recommends at least 12 AWG wire for the power supply to the compressor drive board with an in-line 15 A fuse (see Appendix page 3) CAUTION! Operating the LCM outside the voltage range will void the system warranty.

Figure 3 – FP00152 & FP00171 Drive-Board Jumper Configuration The FP00152 and FP00171 drive-board default jumper configuration is shown in the image above. More information about jumper settings and the driveboard functionality is located in the appendix.
Be sure to reattach the fans and fan guards when finished cleaning the coils. CAUTION! Directing airflow at the condenser fins at an angle may result in bending/damage of the LCM fins, resulting in decreased condenser performance.

Additional Board Functions 1. Compressor Start Delay – The Aspen drive has the ability to delay the compressor start in situations where starting may be difficult due to an unbalanced system. The logic behind the delay is based on a minimum off time for the compressor and can be enabled by installing jumpers per the table at the end of this section.
