Maintenance
9.2.1 Electric Panel
The electric panel should be inspected on a semi-annual basis for any loose electrical connections.
9.2.2 Filters
Filters are usually the most neglected item in an environmental control system. In order to maintain
efficient operation, they should be checked monthly and changed as required. ALWAYS TURN
POWER OFF BEFORE REPLACING FILTERS.
Filters can be replaced by opening either the hinged door on the return air filter box or the return air
grille (plenum version only). Replacement filters are commercially available in several efficiencies.
9.2.3 Direct Drive Blower Package
Monthly inspection of the blower package include: motor mounts, fan bearings and impellers.
Fan Impellers and Motor Bearings
Fan impellers should be thoroughly inspected and any debris removed. Check whether they are
tightly mounted on the fan shaft and do not rub against the fan housing during rotation. Although the
unit's motor bearings are permanently sealed and self-lubricating, they should be inspected monthly
for signs of wear.
For units with the optional belt drive motor/blower, the drive belt should be checked monthly for signs
of wear and proper tension. Pressing on belts midway between the sheave and pulley should produce
from 1/2" to 1" (12 to 25mm) of deflection. Belts that are too tight can cause excessive bearing wear.
Belt tension can be adjusted by raising or lowering the fan motor base. Loosen nut above motor
mounting plate to remove belt. Turn nut below motor mounting plate to adjust belt tension. If belt
appears cracked or worn, it should be replaced with a matched belt (identically sized). With proper
care, a belt should last several years.
Air Distribution
Since all unit models are designed for constant volume air delivery, any unusual restrictions within
the air circuit must be avoided. Note that high efficiency filters can reduce air performance and
evaporator capacity.
NOTE
After adjusting or changing the belt, always be certain that motor base nuts are tightened. The
bottom adjustment nut should be finger-tight. The top locking nut should be tightened with a
wrench.
