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.

Page 10

Remote Control Panel

On units shipped with the optional remote control panel, an electrical drop containing the panel wiring is provided with the heater. There is a terminal strip inside the remote panel that matches the terminals in the heater unit. The remote panel should be wired as shown below.

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).

Pulley Adjustment

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.

Components

The following image and list outlines the common electric heater components and their functions.

1. Motor Disconnect Switch – Interrupts power to blower motor and controls.

2. Motor Starter – Contactor with overload protection to start and protect motor.

3. Power Transformer – Installed when motor voltage > 120V. Used to provide 120V service to controls.

4. Freeze-Stat Thermostat (Optional) – De-energizes blower motor if the discharge air temperature falls below the set point.

5. Terminal Strip – Central location to terminate control wiring. Should be used for troubleshooting.

6. Airflow Switch – A safety device insuring proper air flow during coil operation.

7. Circuit Breaker – Protects electrical components from high current spikes.

8. Automatic Reset Thermal Limit – Safety device that prevents the coil from overheating.

9. Coil Termination – Wire connection to coil element.

10. Coil Contactor – Energizes coil when there is a signal from step controller.

11. Line Fuse – Fuse protecting coil from over amperage.

12. Control Transformer – 120V primary; 24V secondary control transformer.

HEAT

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.

Yearly

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.
