    To operate properly, airflow must be provided to the condenser prior to turning on the compressor. A fan should be mounted on a plenum at least 2 cm away from the face of the condenser. Aspen recommends a 120 mm fan with at least 100 cfm of airflow. Smaller fans may require a larger plenum length to ensure proper airflow distribution.

    The motor drive board shipped with the LCM is a 24 VDC unit. The operating voltage range is 22 VDC – 30 VDC. The LCM may draw up to 15 A of current during normal operation. 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 without the thermal switch connected will void the system warranty Compressor Control Please refer to the Aspen Compressor Universal Low Noise Sinusoidal BLDC Drive manual (see appendix) for detailed wiring and functionality of the drive board. Use the included three-conductor harness to connect the drive to the compressor.
