PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) Motor Speed Control
Some single phase direct drive fans contain speed controls that regulate the
amount of voltage going to the motor. Specific PSC motors must be used in
conjunction with speed controls. The speed control has a knob with an off position,
and high to low range. At high speed, the speed control allows all of the line
voltage to pass right to the motor.
A minimum speed adjustment is provided to allow independent control of the
minimum speed setting. Minimum speed adjustment ensures motor runs with
sufficient torque to prevent stalling. To adjust this:
1) Motor must be in actual operating conditions to achieve proper speed
adjustment. Motor will not slow down unless proper load is applied.
2) Turn main control knob to lowest speed position.
3) Locate and adjust minimum speed setting and adjust with small screw driver. This can be found
under the speed control faceplate. (rotate clockwise to decrease minimum speed; counterclockwise to increase minimum speed).
4) Motor will now operate from this preset minimum speed to full speed.
The lowest minimum voltage that may be applied to these motors is 65VAC. Running lower
voltages to the motor can cause premature failure and overheating problems.
ECM (Electronically Controlled Motor) Speed Control
ECM motors and control allows accurate manual adjustment of fan speed.
The benefit of ECM motors is exceptional efficiency, performance, and
motor life.
The control used with ECM motors features a 4 digit LED numerical
display. The blue knob on the control allows the user to set the flow index
with a screwdriver. Twenty seconds later, the display shows the motor
RPM. Then, the display periodically alternates between the flow index and
motor RPM. The flow index has a range of 0 to 100% and is typically linear with motor RPM.
The ECM control requires a 24 VAC input and can locally turn the motor on and off. The motor can be
adjusted between 300 RPM and maximum speed with this control.
NOTE: To adjust the speed of 3 phase direct drive motors, a variable frequency
drive is required.
Motorized Intake Damper
On units shipped with the optional motorized intake damper, a power transformer is supplied with the unit
if the main incoming voltage is greater than 120V. The damper motor is automatically energized when
the main disconnect switch is in the ON position. No external wiring to the damper motor is required.

OPERATION
Prior to starting up or operating the heater, check all fasteners for tightness. In particular, check the set
screw in the wheel hub, bearings and the fan sheaves (pulleys). With power to the heater OFF or prior to
connecting ventilator to power, turn the fan wheel by hand to be sure it is not striking the inlet or any
obstacles. Re-center if necessary.
Start Up
Special Tools Required
• AC Voltage Meter
• Tachometer
• Thermometer
Start Up Procedure
1. Check all electrical connections for tightness and continuity.
2. Check pulley alignment and belt tension as described below.
3. Inspect the condition of the intake damper and damper linkage, if provided.
4. Inspect the air-stream for obstructions and install intake filters if missing.
5. Compare the supplied motor voltage with the fan’s nameplate motor voltage. If this does not
match, correct the problem.
6. Compare the supplied coil voltage with the coil’s nameplate voltage. If this does not match,
correct the problem. If this does match, turn the coil disconnect to the ON position.
7. Start the fan up, by turning the external disconnect to the ON position, and shut it OFF
immediately to check rotation of the wheel with the directional arrow on the blower scroll.
Reversed rotation will result in poor air performance, motor overloading and possible burnout.
For units equipped with a single-phase motor check the motor wiring diagram to change rotation.
For 3-phase motors, any two power leads can be interchanged to reverse motor direction.
8. When the fan is started up, observe the operation and check for any unusual noises.
9. Switch the external disconnect back to the ON position and with the air system in full operation
and all ducts attached, measure the system airflow. Motor sheave (pulley) is variable pitch, and
allows for an increase or decrease of the fan RPM to adjust the airflow, as shown in the
illustration below. For your convenience, a RPM chart is included in the following pages.
10. Once the proper airflow is achieved, measure and record the fan speed with a reliable
tachometer. Caution - Excessive speed will result in motor overloading or bearing failure. Do not set fan RPMs higher than specified in the maximum RPM chart. See the
troubleshooting guide for more information.
11. Measure and record the voltage and amperage to the motor and compare with the motor
nameplate to determine if the motor is operating under safe load condition.
12. Once the rpm of the ventilator has been properly set, disconnect power and recheck belt tension
and pulley alignment as described below.
13. Measure and record the voltage and amperage to the electric coil and compare with the coil
nameplate to determine if the coil is operating under safe load condition. While the blower is
operating, configure the thermostat for supply temperature control and disconnect one wire from
the discharge air sensor or thermostat. The amp draw and voltage should be measured in the
override condition to verify proper coil operation at max amperage. Reconnect all wires and dip
switches to original stat.
14. Verify that the coil thermostat is operating properly. Turn the thermostat dial to a set-point
warmer than the outside air temperature (if possible). With the blower running, the coil should
become energized and begin to heat the air. Once the thermostat becomes satisfied, the coil
should cycle off or reduce the number of energized heating stages. Turn the set-point below the
outside air temperature (if the climate permits), and the electric coil should cycle off. Set the
thermostat set-point to the desired setting to control either discharge air temperature or space
temperature (depending on how the unit was ordered).
The adjustable motor pulley is factory set for the RPM specified.
Speed can be increased by closing or decreased by opening the
adjustable motor sheave. Two groove variable pitch pulleys
must be adjusted an equal number of turns open or closed. Any
increase in speed represents a substantial increase in
horsepower required by the unit. Motor amperage should always
be checked to avoid serious damage to the motor when the
speed is varied. Always torque setscrews according to the
setscrew torque chart.
The main power supply provides power to both the motor controls and the coil. The blower interlock relay
is the common link between the two circuits, as shown below. Once in normal operation, the coil
modulating stage will energize first and then subsequent power stages as required.

The Remote Panel is a device used to control the operation of the heater from a remote location. This
unit is available in both a “2 Position” and “3 Position” configuration, and with or without a cooling output.
It also will accommodate both discharge and space heating configurations. It is important to understand
the following Remote Panel controls and uses:
1. Blower On/Blower Off Switch - Used to control blower operation and tempering mode of unit.
The Blower On position sends power to the blower motor and the heater begins to ventilate. The
Blower Off position turns the blower and heating functionality off. This switch is disabled when
the “2 Position” remote panel is ordered and fan power is then controlled by the pre-wire
package.
2. Heat/Vent Switch – This switch is used to control the tempering mode of the unit. The VENT
position will prevent the burner from operating and the heater will deliver untempered air. The
HEAT position will force the heat circuit on and the unit will heat the incoming air. This switch
becomes a Heat/Vent/Cool switch when the cooling interlock is ordered. This option provides a
120V cooling output from the remote panel.
3. Lights- Displays the current status of unit features. The light definitions are as follows:
POWER - Illuminated when there is power to Remote Panel.
BLOWER ON - Illuminated when the blower motor is powered.
HEAT ON - Illuminates after heat circuit is energized.
LOW TEMP - (Optional) Illuminated when the Freeze-stat turns off blower.
CLOGGED FILTER – (Optional) Illuminated when the Intake Filters are Dirty.
4. Temperature Control – Controls the discharge temperature of a standard unit. Can be
configured to control space temperature.

MAINTENANCE
To guarantee trouble free operation of this heater, the manufacturer suggests following these guidelines.
Most problems associated with fan failures are directly related to poor service and maintenance.
Please record any maintenance or service performed on this fan in the documentation section located at
the end of this manual.
WARNING: ELECTRIC HEATERS HAVE TWO POWER INPUTS. DO NOT ATTEMPT
MAINTENANCE ON THE HEATER UNTIL BOTH THE MOTOR AND COIL
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED.
General Maintenance
1. Fan inlet and approaches to ventilator should be kept clean and free from any obstruction.
2. Motors are normally permanently lubricated. Check bearings periodically. If they have grease
fittings lubricate each season. Use caution when lubricating bearings, wipe the fittings clean, the
unit should be rotated by hand while lubricating. Caution: Use care when touching the exterior
of an operating motor. Motors normally run hot and may be hot enough to be painful or
cause injury.
3. All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are preformed prior
to restarting unit.
4. Blowers require very little attention when moving clean air. Occasionally oil and dust may
accumulate causing imbalance. If the fan is installed in a corrosive or dirty atmosphere,
periodically inspect and clean the wheel, inlet and other moving parts to ensure smooth and safe
operation.
5. The electric coil should be kept free of dirt and foreign matter that may cause uneven air patterns.
Hot spots on the coil can shorten the life of the coil.
2 weeks after startup
1. Belt tension should be checked after the first 2 weeks of fan operation. Belts tend to stretch and
settle into pulleys after an initial start-up sequence. Do not tension belts by changing the setting of the motor pulley, this will change the fan speed and may damage the motor. To retension belts, turn the power to the fan motor OFF. Loosen the fasteners that hold the blower
scroll plate to the blower. Rotate the motor to the left or right to adjust the belt tension. Belt
tension should be adjusted to allow 1/64” of deflection per inch of belt span. Exercise extreme
care when adjusting V-belts as not to misalign pulleys. Any misalignment will cause a sharp
reduction in belt life and produce squeaky noises. Over-tightening will cause excessive belt and
bearing wear as well as noise. Too little tension will cause slippage at startup and uneven wear.
Whenever belts are removed or installed, never force belts over pulleys without loosening
motor first to relieve belt tension. When replacing belts, use the same type as supplied by the
manufacturer. On units shipped with double groove pulleys, matched belts should always be
used.
2. All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are preformed prior
to restarting unit.
3. Inspect the electric coil. All elements should be in the proper location and clean. If an element is
missing or broken, replace coil immediately.

1. Belt tension should be checked quarterly. See instructions in the previous maintenance section.
Over-tightening will cause excessive bearing wear and noise. Too little tension will cause
slippage at startup and uneven wear.
2. Filters need to be cleaned and/or replaced quarterly, and more often in severe conditions.
Washable filters can be washed in warm soapy water. When re-installing filters, be sure to install
with the airflow in the correct direction as indicated on the filter.
3. Inspect the electric coil. All elements should be in the proper location and clean. If an element is
missing or broken, replace coil immediately.
1. Inspect bearings for wear and deterioration. Replace if necessary.
2. Inspect belt wear and replace torn or worn belts.
3. Inspect bolts and set screws for tightness. Tighten as necessary.
4. Inspect for cleanliness. Clean exterior surfaces only. Remove dust and grease from the motor
housing to ensure proper motor cooling. Remove dirt and grease from the wheel and housing to
prevent imbalance and damage.
5. Inspect the electric coil. All elements should be in the proper location and clean. If an element is
missing or broken, replace coil immediately.
