DUCT WORK
All duct work, supply and return, must be properly sized
for the design airflow requirement of the equipment. Air
Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) is an
excellent guide to proper sizing. All duct work or portions
thereof not in the conditioned space should be properly
insulated in order to both conserve energy and prevent
condensation or moisture damage.
Design the duct work according to methods given by the Air
Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). When duct
runs through unheated spaces, it should be insulated with a
minimum of one inch of insulation. Use insulation with a
vapor barrier on the outside of the insulation. Flexible joints
should be used to connect the duct work to the equipment in
order to keep the noise transmission to a minimum.
A 1/4 inch clearance to combustible material for the first
three feet of duct attached to the outlet air frame is required.
See Wall Mounting Instructions and Figures 3A, 3B and 4
for further details.
Ducts through the walls must be insulated and all joints
taped or sealed to prevent air or moisture entering the wall
cavity.
Some installations may not require any return air duct. A
metallic return air grille is required with installations not
requiring a return air duct. The spacing between louvers on
the grille shall not be larger than 5/8 inch.
Any grille that meets with 5/8 inch louver criteria may be
used. It is recommended that Bard Return Air Grille Kit
RG2 through RG5 or RFG2 through RFG5 be installed
when no return duct is used. Contact distributor or factory
for ordering information. If using a return air filter grille,
filters must be of sufficient size to allow a maximum
velocity of 400 fpm.
NOTE: If no return air duct is used, applicable installation
codes may limit this cabinet to installation only in a
single story structure.
FILTERS
A 1-inch throwaway filter is standard with each unit.
The filter slides into position making it easy to service.
This filter can be serviced from the outside by removing
the filter access panel. 2-inch pleated filters are also
available as optional accessories. The internal filter
brackets are adjustable to accommodate the 2-inch filter
by bending two (2) tabs down on each side of the filter
support bracket.
FRESH AIR INTAKE
All units are built with fresh air inlet slots punched in
the service door.
If the unit is equipped with a fresh air damper assembly,
the assembly is shipped already attached to the unit.
The damper blade is locked in the closed position. To
allow the damper to operate, the maximum and
minimum blade position stops must be installed. See
Figure 1.
All capacity, efficiency and cost of operation
information is based upon the fresh air blank-off plate in
place and is recommended for maximum energy
efficiency.
The blank-off plate is available upon request from the
factory and is installed in place of the fresh air damper
shipped with each unit.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
A plastic drain hose extends from the drain pan at the
top of the unit down to the unit base. There are
openings in the unit base for the drain hose to pass
through. In the event the drain hose is connected to a
drain system of some type, it must be an open or vented
type system to assure proper drainage.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WALL MOUNTING INFORMATION
1. Two holes for the supply and return air openings
must be cut through the wall as shown in Figure 3.
WARNING
2. On wood frame walls, the wall construction must be
strong and rigid enough to carry the weight of the
unit without transmitting any unit vibration.
3. Concrete block walls must be thoroughly inspected
to insure that they are capable of carrying the weight
of the installed unit.
MOUNTING THE UNIT
1. These units are secured by wall mounting brackets
which secure the unit to the outside wall surface at
both sides. A bottom mounting bracket, attached to
skid for shipping, is provided for ease of installation,
but is not required.
2. The unit itself is suitable for 0 inch clearance, but
the supply air duct flange and the first 3 feet of
supply air duct require a minimum of 1/4 inch
clearance to combustible material. However, it is
generally recommended that a 1-inch clearance is
used for ease of installation and maintaining the
required clearance to combustible material. See
Figure 3 for details on opening sizes.
3. Locate and mark lag bolt locations and bottom
mounting bracket location. See Figures 3A & 3B.
4. Mount bottom mounting bracket.
5. Hook top rain flashing, attached to front - right of
supply flange for shipping, under back bend of top.
Failure to provide the 1/4 inch clearance
between the supply duct and a combustible
surface for the first 3 feet of duct can result in
fire causing damage, injury or death.
PLACEMENT
1. On side-by-side installations, maintain a minimum
of 20 inches clearance on right side to allow access
to control panel and heat strips, and to allow proper
airflow to the outdoor coil. Additional clearance
may be required to meet local or national codes.
2. Care should be taken to ensure that the recirculation
and obstruction of condenser discharge air does not
occur. Recirculation of condenser discharge air can
be from either a single unit or multiple units. Any
object such as shrubbery, a building or a large object
can cause obstructions to the condenser discharge
air. Recirculation or reduced airflow caused by
obstructions will result in reduced capacity, possible
unit pressure safety lockouts and reduced unit
service life.
Units with a blow through condenser, such as the
T**H 10 EER units, it is recommended there be a
minimum distance of 15 feet between the front of
the unit and any barrier or 20 feet between the fronts
of two opposing (facing) units.
6. Position unit in opening and secure with 5/16 lag bolts;
use 7/8 inch diameter flat washers on the lag bolts.
7. Secure rain flashing to wall and caulk across entire
length of top. See Figures 3A & 3B.
8. For additional mounting rigidity, the return air and
supply air frames or collars can be drilled and
screwed or welded to the structural wall itself
(depending upon wall construction). Be sure to
observe required clearance if combustible wall.

WIRING – MAIN POWER
Refer to the unit rating plate for wire sizing information
and maximum fuse or “HACR” type circuit breaker
size. Each outdoor unit is marked with a “Minimum
Circuit Ampacity”. This means that the field wiring
used must be sized to carry that amount of current.
Depending on the installed KW of electric heat, there
may be two field power circuits required. If this is the
case, the unit serial plate will so indicate. All models
are suitable only for connection with copper wire. Each
unit and/or wiring diagram will be marked “Use Copper
Conductors Only”. These instructions must be adhered
to. Refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for
complete current carrying capacity data on the various
insulation grades of wiring material. All wiring must
conform to NEC and all local codes.
The electrical data lists fuse and wire sizes (75°C
copper) for all models including the most commonly
used heater sizes. Also shown are the number of field
power circuits required for the various models with
heaters.
The unit rating plate lists a “Maximum Time Delay
Relay Fuse” or “HACR” type circuit breaker that is to
be used with the equipment. The correct size must be
used for proper circuit protection and also to assure that
there will be no nuisance tripping due to the momentary
high starting current of the compressor motor.
WIRING – LOW VOLTAGE WIRING
230/208V, 1 phase and 3 phase equipment dual primary
voltage transformers. All equipment leaves the factory
wired on 240V tap. For 208V operation, reconnect from
240V to 208V tap. The acceptable operating voltage
range for the 240 and 208V taps are:
TAPRANGE
240253 – 216
208220 – 187
NOTE: The voltage should be measured at the field power
connection point in the unit and while the unit is
operating at full load (maximum amperage
operating condition).
For wiring size and connections, refer to Wiring Manual
2100-516.
The disconnect access door on this unit may be locked
to prevent unauthorized access to the disconnect. To
convert for the locking capability, bend the tab located
in the bottom left-hand corner of the disconnect opening
under the disconnect access panel straight out. This tab
will now line up with the slot in the door. When shut, a
padlock may be placed through the hole in the tab
preventing entry.
See “Start Up” section for important information on
three phase scroll compressor start ups.

APPLICATIONS
Since most equipment at the time of manufacture is not
designated for any specific destination of the country
and are installed in areas not approaching the lower
outdoor temperature range, outdoor thermostats are not
factory installed as standard equipment, but are offered
as an option. There are also different applications for
applying outdoor thermostats. The set point of either
type of outdoor thermostat application is variable with
geographic region and sizing of the heating equipment
to the individual structure. Utilization of the heating
Application Data, and the heat loss calculation of the
building are useful in determining the correct set points.
NOTE: The additional LAB (low ambient bypass) relay
is required to prevent heater operation during low
temperature cooling operation.
Manual 2100-541C
Page14 of 28
OPTIONAL COMPRESSOR CUTOFF
THERMOSTAT (See Figures 8 & 9)
Heat pump compressor operation at outdoor
temperatures below 0°F are neither desirable nor
advantageous in term of efficiency. An outdoor
thermostat can be applied to take the mechanical heating
(compressor) off line, and send the (compressor) signal
to energize electric heat in its place (to make electric
heat first stage heating). This can also be applied to
bank the quantity of available electric heat. For
example: A heat pump operates with 10KW second
stage heat – once the outdoor thermostat has switched
then operates 15KW without the compressor as first
stage heat.
ELECTRIC HEAT HOLD-OFF
(See Figures 10 & 11)
In other applications, it is desirable to disable the
operation of the electric heat until outdoor temperatures
have reached a certain design point. This won't allow
the electric heat to come on as second stage heating
unless the outdoor temperature is below the set point of
the outdoor thermostat. This is done to maximize
ELECTRIC HEAT HOLD-OFF WIRING
4 – 10KW 1 PH — 6 & 9KW 3 PH
efficiency by utilizing the heat pump to bring the
conditioned space temperature up, rather than cycling on
the electric heat due a second stage call for heat from
the thermostat on start-up coming off a night set-back
condition or someone increasing the thermostat set
point. (NOTE: Some programmable thermostats do
have a built-in time delay for pulling in second stage
heat when coming off set-back conditions.)

START UP
THESE UNITS REQUIRE R-410A
REFRIGERANT AND POLYOL
ESTER OIL.
GENERAL:
1. Use separate service equipment to avoid cross
contamination of oil and refrigerants.
2. Use recovery equipment rated for R-410A
refrigerant.
3. Use manifold gauges rated for R-410A (800 psi/250
psi low).
4. R-410A is a binary blend of HFC-32 and HFC-125.
5. R-410A is nearly azeotropic - similar to R-22 and
R-12. Although nearly azeotropic, charge with
liquid refrigerant.
6. R-410A operates at 40-70% higher pressure than
R-22, and systems designed for R-22 cannot
withstand this higher pressure.
7. R-410A has an ozone depletion potential of zero,
but must be reclaimed due to its global warming
potential.
8. R-410A compressors use Polyol Ester oil.
9. Polyol Ester oil is hygroscopic; it will rapidly absorb
moisture and strongly hold this moisture in the oil.
10. A liquid line dryer must be used - even a deep
vacuum will not separate moisture from the oil.
11. Limit atmospheric exposure to 15 minutes.
12. If compressor removal is necessary, always plug
compressor immediately after removal. Purge with
small amount of nitrogen when inserting plugs.
TOPPING OFF SYSTEM CHARGE
If a leak has occurred in the system, Bard Manufacturing
recommends reclaiming, evacuating (see criteria above),
and charging to the nameplate charge. If done correctly,
topping off the system charge can be done without
problems.
With R-410A, there are no significant changes in the
refrigerant composition during multiple leaks and
recharges. R-410A refrigerant is close to being an
azeotropic blend (it behaves like a pure compound or
single component refrigerant). The remaining
refrigerant charge, in the system, may be used after
leaks have occurred and then “top-off” the charge by
utilizing the pressure charts on the inner control panel
cover as a guideline.
REMEMBER: When adding R-410A refrigerant, it
must come out of the charging cylinder/tank as a liquid
to avoid any fractionation, and to insure optimal system
performance. Refer to instructions for the cylinder that
is being utilized for proper method of liquid extraction.
WARNING
Failure to conform to these practices
could lead to damage, injury or death.
SAFETY PRACTICES:
1. Never mix R-410A with other refrigerants.
2. Use gloves and safety glasses, Polyol Ester oils can
be irritating to the skin, and liquid refrigerant will
freeze the skin.
3. Never use air and R-410A to leak check; the
mixture may become flammable.
4. Do not inhale R-410A – the vapor attacks the
nervous system, creating dizziness, loss of
coordination and slurred speech. Cardiac
irregularities, unconsciousness and ultimate death
can result from breathing this concentration.
5. Do not burn R-410A. This decomposition
produces hazardous vapors. Evacuate the area if
exposed.
6. Use only cylinders rated DOT4BA/4BW 400.
7. Never fill cylinders over 80% of total capacity.
8. Store cylinders in a cool area, out of direct
sunlight.
9. Never heat cylinders above 125°F.
10. Never trap liquid R-410A in manifold sets, gauge
lines or cylinders. R-410A expands significantly
at warmer temperatures. Once a cylinder or line is
full of liquid, any further rise in temperature will
cause it to burst.

START UP (Continued)
IMPORTANT INSTALLER NOTE
For improved start up performance wash the indoor coil
with a dish washing detergent.
HIGH & LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
All T**H wall mounted air conditioner series models are
supplied with a remote reset for the high and low
pressure switch. If tripped, this pressure switch may be
reset by turning the thermostat off then back on again.
THREE PHASE SCROLL COMPRESSOR
START UP INFORMATION
Scroll compressors, like several other types of
compressors, will only compress in one rotational
direction. Direction of rotation is not an issue with
single phase compressors since they will always start
and run in the proper direction.
However, three phase compressors will rotate in either
direction depending upon phasing of the power. Since
there is a 50-50 chance of connecting power in such a
way as to cause rotation in the reverse direction,
verification of proper rotation must be made.
Verification of proper rotation direction is made by
observing that suction pressure drops and discharge
pressure rises when the compressor is energized.
Reverse rotation also results in an elevated sound level
over that with correct rotation, as well as substantially
reduced current draw compared to tabulated values.
PHASE MONITOR
All units with three phase scroll compressors are
equipped with a 3-phase line monitor to prevent
compressor damage due to phase reversal.
The phase monitor in this unit is equipped with two
LEDs. If the Y signal is present at the phase monitor
and phases are correct the green LED will light.
If phases are reversed, the red fault LED will be lit and
compressor operation is inhibited.
If a fault condition occurs, reverse two of the supply
leads to the unit. Do not reverse any of the unit factory
wires as damage may occur.
SERVICE HINTS
1. Caution owner/operator to maintain clean air filters
at all times. Also, not to needlessly close off supply
and return air registers. This reduces airflow
through the system, which shortens equipment
service life as well as increasing operating costs.
2. Check all power fuses or circuit breakers to be sure
they are the correct rating.
3. Periodic cleaning of the outdoor coil to permit full
and unrestricted airflow circulation is essential.
Verification of proper rotation must be made at the
time the equipment is put into service. If improper
rotation is corrected at this time, there will be no
negative impact on the durability of the compressor.
However, reverse operation for over one hour may have
a negative impact on the bearing due to oil pump out.
NOTE: If compressor is allowed to run in reverse rotation
for several minutes, the compressor’s internal
protector will trip.
All three phase ZP compressors are wired identically
internally. As a result, once the correct phasing is
determined for a specific system or installation,
connecting properly phased power leads to the same
Fusite terminal should maintain proper rotation
direction.
The direction of rotation of the compressor may be
changed by reversing any two line connections to the
unit.
Manual 2100-541C

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
COOLING – Circuit R-Y makes at thermostat pulling in
compressor contactor, starting the compressor and outdoor
motor. The G (indoor motor) circuit is automatically completed
on any call for cooling operation or can be energized by manual
fan switch on subbase for constant air circulation.
HEATING – A 24V solenoid coil on reversing valve
controls heating cycle operation. Two thermostat options, one
allowing “Auto” changeover from cycle to cycle and the other
constantly energizing solenoid coil during heating season, and
thus eliminating pressure equalization noise except during
defrost, are to be used. On “Auto” option a circuit is
completed from R-B and R-Y on each heating “on” cycle,
energizing reversing valve solenoid and pulling in compressor
contactor starting compressor and outdoor motor. R-G also
make starting indoor blower motor. Heat pump heating cycle
now in operation. The second option has no “Auto”
changeover position, but instead energizes the reversing valve
solenoid constantly whenever the system switch on subbase is
placed in “Heat” position, the “B” terminal being constantly
energized from R. A Thermostat demand for heat completes
R-Y circuit, pulling in compressor contactor starting
compressor and outdoor motor. R-G also make starting
indoor blower motor.
PRESSURE SERVICE PORTS
High and low pressure service ports are installed on all units
so that the system operating pressures can be observed.
Pressure tables can be found later in the manual covering all
models. It is imperative to match the correct pressure table to
the unit by model number. See Tables 5A & 5B.
DEFROST CYCLE
The defrost cycle is controlled by temperature and time on
the solid state heat pump control.
When the outdoor temperature is in the lower 40°F
temperature range or colder, the outdoor coil temperature is
32°F or below. This coil temperature is sensed by the coil
temperature sensor mounted near the bottom of the outdoor
coil. Once coil temperature reaches 30°F or below, the coil
temperature sensor sends a signal to the control logic of the
heat pump control and the defrost timer will start
accumulating run time.
After 30, 60 or 90 minutes of heat pump operation at 30°F
or below, the heat pump control will place the system in the
defrost mode.
During the defrost mode, the refrigerant cycle switches back
to the cooling cycle, the outdoor motor stops, electric heaters
are energized, and hot gas passing through the outdoor coil
melts any accumulated frost. When the temperature rises to
approximately 57°F, the coil temperature sensor will send a
signal to the heat pump control which will return the system
to heating operations automatically.
If some abnormal or temporary condition such as a high
wind causes the heat pump to have a prolonged defrost
cycle, the heat pump control will restore the system to
heating operation automatically after 8 minutes.
The heat pump defrost control board has an option of 30, 60
or 90-minute setting. By default, this unit is shipped from
the factory with the defrost time on the 60 minute pin. If
Manual 2100-541C
Page18 of 28
circumstances require a change to another time, remove the
wire from the 60-minute terminal and reconnect to the
desired terminal. Refer to Figure 12.
There is a cycle speed up jumper on the control. This can be
used for testing purposes to reduce the time between defrost
cycle operation without waiting for time to elapse.
Use a small screwdriver or other metallic object, or another
¼ inch QC, to short between the SPEEDUP terminals to
accelerate the HPC timer and initiate defrost.
Be careful not to touch any other terminals with the instrument
used to short the SPEEDUP terminals. It may take up to 10
seconds with the SPEEDUP terminals shorted for the speedup
to be completed and the defrost cycle to start.
As soon as the defrost cycle kicks in remove the shorting
instrument from the SPEEDUP terminals. Otherwise the
timing will remain accelerated and run through the 1-minute
minimum defrost length sequence in a matter of seconds and
will automatically terminate the defrost sequence.
There is an initiate defrost jumper (sen jump) on the control
that can be used at any outdoor ambient during the heating
cycle to simulate a 0° coil temperature.
This can be used to check defrost operation of the unit without
waiting for the outdoor ambient to fall into the defrost region.
By placing a jumper across the SEN JMP terminals (a
¼ inch QC terminal works best) the defrost sensor mounted
on the outdoor coil is shunted out & will activate the timing
circuit. This permits the defrost cycle to be checked out in
warmer weather conditions without the outdoor temperature
having to fall into the defrost region.
In order to terminate the defrost test the SEN JMP jumper
must be removed. If left in place too long, the compressor
could stop due to the high pressure control opening because
of high pressure condition created by operating in the
cooling mode with outdoor fan off. Pressure will rise fairly
fast as there is likely no actual frost on the outdoor coil in
this artificial test condition.
There is also a 5-minute compressor time delay function built
into the HPC. This is to protect the compressor from short
cycling conditions. The board’s LED will have a fast blink rate
when in the compressor time delay. In some instances, it is
helpful to the service technician to override or speed up this
timing period, and shorting out the SPEEDUP terminals for a
few seconds can do this.
Low Pressure Switch Bypass Operation - The control has a
selectable (SW1) low pressure switch bypass set up to ignore
the low pressure switch input during the first (30, 60, 120 or 180
seconds) of “Y” operation.
After this period expires, the control will then monitor the low
pressure switch input normally to make sure that the switch is
closed during “Y” operation.
High Pressure Switch Operation - The control has a built-in
lockout system that allows the unit to have the high pressure
switch trip up to two times in one hour and only encounter a
“soft” lockout. A “soft” lockout shuts the compressor off and
waits for the pressure switch to reset, which at that point then
allows the compressor to be restarted as long as the 5-minute
short cycle timer has run out. If the high pressure switch trips a
third time within one hour, the unit is in “hard” lockout indicating
something is certainly wrong and it will not restart itself.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
1. NOTE: A thorough understanding of the defrost
cycle sequence is essential. Review that section
earlier in this manual prior to troubleshooting the
control. Turn on AC power supply to unit.
2. Turn thermostat blower switch to “fan on” – the
indoor blower should start. (If it doesn’t,
troubleshoot indoor unit and correct problem.)
3. Turn thermostat blower to “auto” position. Indoor
blower should stop. NOTE: Many models have a
1-minute blower time delay on “off” command;
wait for this to time-out.
4. Set system switch to “heat” or “cool”. Adjust
thermostat to call for heat or cool. The indoor
blower, compressor and outdoor fan should start.
Shown in Figure 13 is the correct fan blade setting for
proper air delivery across the outdoor coil. Refer to
Table 4 for unit specific dimension.
Any service work requiring removal or adjustment in
the fan and/or motor area will require that the
dimensions below be checked and blade adjusted in or
out on the motor shaft accordingly.

MOTORS CONT’D.
Replacing ECM Control Module
To replace the control module for the GE variable-speed indoor blower motor
you need to take the following steps:
1. You MUST have the correct replacement module. The controls are
factory programmed for specific operating modes. Even though they look
alike, different modules may have completely different functionality.
USING THE WRONG CONTROL MODULE VOIDS ALL PRODUCT
WARRANTIES AND MAY PRODUCE UNEXPECTED RESULTS.
2. Begin by removing AC power from the furnace or air handler being
serviced. DO NOT WORK ON THE MOTOR WITH AC POWERAPPLIED. To avoid electric shock from the motor’s capacitors, disconnect
power and wait at least 5 minutes before opening motor.
3. It is usually not necessary to remove the motor from the blower
assembly. However, it is recommended that the whole blower assembly,
with the motor, be removed from the furnace/air handler. (Follow the
manufacturer’s procedures). Unplug the two cable connectors to the motor.
There are latches on each connector. DO NOT PULL ON THE WIRES.
The plugs remove easily when properly released.
4. Locate the two standard
housing (at the back end of the control opposite the shaft end). Refer toFigure 14. Remove these two bolts from the motor and control
assembly while holding the motor in a way that will prevent the motor
or control from falling when the bolts are removed. If an ECM2.0
control is being replaced (recognized by an aluminum casting rather
that a deep-drawn black steel can housing the electronics), remove only
the hex-head bolts. DO NOT REMOVE THE TORX-HEAD
SCREWS.
5. The control module is now free of mechanical attachment to the
motor endshield but is still connected by a plug and three wires inside
the control. Carefully rotate the control to gain access to the plug at the
control end of the wires. With thumb and forefinger, reach the latch
holding the plug to the control and release it by squeezing the latch tab
and the opposite side of the connector plug and gently pulling the plug
out of the connector socket in the control. DO NOT PULL ON THE
WIRES. GRIP THE PLUG ONLY.
6. The control module is now completely detached from the motor.
Verify with a standard ohmmeter that the resistance from each motor
lead (in the motor plug just removed) to the motor shell is >100K ohms.
Refer to Figure 15. (Measure to unpainted motor end plate.) If any
motor lead fails this test, do not proceed to install the control module.
THE MOTOR IS DEFECTIVE AND MUST BE REPLACED.
Installing the new control module will cause it to fail also.
7. Verify that the replacement control is correct for your application.
Refer to the manufacturer's authorized replacement list. USING THE
WRONG CONTROL WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER OR NO
BLOWER OPERATION. Orient the control module so that the 3-
wire motor plug can be inserted into the socket in the control.
Carefully insert the plug and press it into the socket until it latches. A
SLIGHT CLICK WILL BE HEARD WHEN PROPERLY
INSERTED.
Finish installing the replacement control per one of the three
following paragraphs, 8a, 8b or 8c.
8a. IF REPLACING AN ECM 2.0 CONTROL (control in cast
aluminum can with air vents on the back of the can) WITH AN ECM
2.3 CONTROL (control containing black potting for water protection
in black deep-drawn steel case with no vents in the bottom of the can),
locate the two through-bolts and plastic tab that are packed with the
replacement control. Insert the plastic tab into the slot at the perimeter
of the open end of the can so that the pin is located on the inside of the
perimeter of the can. Rotate the can so that the tab inserts into the tab
locator hole in the endshield of the motor. Using the two through-bolts
provided with the replacement control, reattach the can to the motor.
THE TWO THROUGH-BOLTS PROVIDED WITH THE
REPLACEMENT ECM 2.3 CONTROL ARE SHORTER THAN
THE BOLTS ORIGINALLY REMOVED FROM THE ECM 2.0
CONTROL AND MUST BE USED IF SECURE ATTACHMENT
OF THE CONTROL TO THE MOTOR IS TO BE ACHIEVED.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS.
¼" hex head bolts at the rear of the control
8b. IF REPLACING AN ECM 2.3 CONTROLWITH AN ECM
2.3 CONTROL, the plastic tab and shorter through-bolts are not needed.
The control can be oriented in two positions 180° apart. MAKE SURE
THE ORIENTATION YOU SELECT FOR REPLACING THE
CONTROL ASSURES THE CONTROL'S CABLE CONNECTORS
WILL BE LOCATED DOWNWARD IN THE APPLICATION SO
THAT WATER CANNOT RUN DOWN THE CABLES AND INTO
THE CONTROL. Simply orient the new control to the motor's
endshield, insert bolts, and tighten. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE
BOLTS.
8c. IF REPLACING AN ECM 2.0 CONTROL WITH AN ECM 2.0
CONTROL (It is recommended that ECM 2.3 controls be used for all
replacements), the new control must be attached to the motor using
through bolts identical to those removed with the original control. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS.
9. Reinstall the blower/motor assembly into the HVAC equipment.
Follow the manufacturer's suggested procedures.
10. Plug the 16-pin control plug into the motor. The plug is keyed.
Make sure the connector is properly seated and latched.
11. Plug the 5-pin power connector into the motor. Even though the
plug is keyed, OBSERVE THE PROPER ORIENTATION. DO NOTFORCE THE CONNECTOR. It plugs in very easily when properly
oriented. REVERSING THIS PLUG WILL CAUSE IMMEDIATE
FAILURE OF THE CONTROL MODULE.
12.
Final installation check. Make sure the motor is installed as follows:
a. Unit is as far INTO the blower housing as possible.
b.Belly bands are not on the control module or covering vent holes.
c. Motor connectors should be oriented between the 4 o’clock and 8
o’clock positions when the blower is positioned in its final
location and orientation.
d.Add a drip loop to the cables so that water cannot enter the motor
by draining down the cables. Refer to Figure 16.
The installation is now complete. Reapply the AC power to the HVAC
equipment and verify that the new motor control module is working
properly. Follow the manufacturer's procedures for disposition of the old
control module.
