This section applies only to EC Motor Part Numbers 921728, 921733, 921735, 921736, 922711, 922712, 922713, and 923250
Potentiometer Dial Only*- (See Figure 1) Motor features a potentiometer dial located on the side of the motor allowing the user to make 
necessary speed adjustments with a small at tip screw driver.  The 3 control wires are not used. The motor can also be controlled by 
a separate 0-10 VDC and 24 VAC to the control wires, in this set up the potentiometer dial needs to be set to full speed (CW).  
Optional Speed Controller (See Figure 2)
Remote Speed Controller Single Speed (Optional)*- (See Figure 2-A) Set the potentiometer dial located on the side of the motor to 
full clockwise. When selected with this option the fan will come with a 24 VAC transformer mounted for the purpose of powering the 
logic circuits in both the motor and the remote speed controller. The remote speed control will supply a DC signal that varies from 0 to 
10V. This signal will vary the motors speed. The motor will shut off between 0-1.9v.
Mounted Speed Controller Two Speed (Optional)*- (See Figure 2-B) Set the potentiometer dial located on the side of the motor to full 
clockwise. When selected with this option the fan will come with a 24 VAC transformer mounted for the purpose of powering the logic 
circuits in both the motor and the dual speed controllers mounted on fan. The supplied toggle switch will select the Low (LO) or High 
(HI) speed on the speed controllers based on the dial settings. The motor will shut off between 0-1.9v.
Customer Building Controller - (See gure 2-C) Set potentiometer dial located on motor side to full clockwise.  Connect Red (010VDC) and White (Common) to building controller. Motor requires factory mounted 24VAC transformer to run motor logic boards. The 
motor shuts off between 0-1.9V.
* All 115, 208 or 230V connections will be made in the supplied junction box. Wire to the remote speed control is to be supplied by 
others and must meet all applicable codes. 
NOTE: When using a remote variable speed control the potentiometer on the motor (if present) should be set to full clockwise.
The remote speed control location is limited by a maximum wire length of 100 feet. Up to 6 fans can be operated from one remote 
control. Only one transformer should be used.
