Introduction and features
The ultra-high-efficiency ECM has become the preferred motor for use in
energy-saving HVAC systems. Evergreen CM is made with the same field-
proven, high-efficiency ECM technology that has been used for more than 20
years in new HVAC equipment. It features flexible control methods to help the
installer balance airflow in HVAC systems such as VAV (Variable Air Volume)
boxes and Packaged HVAC systems. The Evergreen CM is designed as a direct
replacement for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Genteq model X13
(Constant Torque ECM) or as a field replacement for existing PSC (Permenant
Split Capacitor) motors.
features:
• Multi-speed, constant torque, brushless DC motor
• Available in 1/3, 1/2, 3/4 and 1HP ratings for the 208-230/277VAC models
• Available in 1/2, 3/4 and 1HP ratings for the 460VAC models
• Automatically determines motor direction using Genteq’s Rotation Sensing
Technology (See Rotation Sensing on page 11 for details)
• Shielded ball bearings
• Direct drive applications only
• Efficiency up to 80% maximum nominal efficiency
• 5 Discrete speeds using 24VAC (3 using 18VDC) signal inputs
• Variable speed, torque control using a PWM Signal. (Motor switches to
variable speed mode when a PWM input is detected)
• Designed to replace PSC motors with typical nameplate of 900-1100 RPM.
• Operating speed range of 600-1200 RPM
• NEMA 48-frame (5.6 inch diameter) Belly Band Mount with 4-inch long,
½ inch diameter shaft.
• Class B insulation
• Electronic thermal overload protection
• UL and CSA recognized component
• Soft start and off ramp for quieter operation
• Encapsulated electronics
• Improved high static airflow performance versus standard PSC
• * 2 year warranty (See page 16)
This installation/service manual enables a qualified technician to install, service,
repair and maintain the Evergreen CM motor. This manual is to be left near the
HVAC system for future reference.
