Circulating Air Blower

Airflow Measurement and Adjustment

Please review the ductwork section before proceeding with the 
airflow measurements and adjustments in this section.

The unit blower curves (see Specification Sheets) are based on 
the external static pressure (ESP per in./W.C.). The duct openings 
on the unit are considered internal static pressure. As long as 
ESP is maintained, the unit will deliver the proper air up to the 
maximum static pressure listed for the CFM required by the 
application (for example, home, building, etc.).

In general, 400 CFM per ton of cooling capacity is a rule of 
thumb. Some applications depending on the sensible and latent 
capacity requirements may need only 350 CFM or up to 425 CFM 
per ton. Check condition space load requirements (from load 
calculations) and equipment expanded ratings data to match 
CFM and capacity.

After the unit is set and the ductwork completed, verify the ESP 
with a 1" (2.5 cm) inclined manometer with pitot tubes or a 
Magnahelic gauge and confirm CFM to blower curves in the 
Specification Sheets. All units have 3-speed blower motors. If the 
low speed is not utilized, the speed tap can be changed to 
medium or high speed.

NOTE: 

Never run CFM below 350 CFM per ton. Evaporator 

freezing or poor unit performance is possible.

Adjusting Speed Tap for Indoor Blower Motor

X-13 Motor

Adjust the CFM by changing the 24V low voltage lead at the 
speed terminal block on the motor. (T1—Low Speed, T2 and 
T3—Medium Speed, T4 and T5—High Speed).

NOTE: 

Factory set T1 (G, Fan), T2 (Cool/High cool), T3 (W2 Electric 

Heat), T4 and T5 reserved for high static (Cool/High Cool) and W2. 

ECM Motor

The ECM control board is factory-set with the DIP Switch 4 in the 
“ON” position for single stage units and to the "OFF" position for 
the 2-stage units. All other DIP switches are factory-set in the 
“OFF” position. For most applications, the settings are to be 
changed according to the electric heat size.

The ECM motor provides many features not available on the 
traditional PSC motor. These features include:

Improved Efficiency

Constant CFM

Soft Start and Stop

Improved Humidity Control

ECM Motor Speed Adjustment

Each ECM blower motor has been preprogrammed for operation 
at 4 distinct airflow levels when operating in Cooling/ Heat Pump 
mode or Electric Heat mode. These 4 distinct levels may also be 
adjusted slightly lower or higher if desired.

The adjustment between levels and the trim adjustments are 
made by changing the DIP switch(s) either to an OFF or ON 
position. See Blower Performance Data charts.

WGPH45 DIP Switch Functions

The ECM motor has an electronic control that contains 
8 2-position DIP switches. The function of these DIP switches is 
shown in the following chart.

For WGPH4524-43 models, DIP Switch 4 must be set to ON. DIP 
Switch 4 must be set to OFF for 2-stage compressor models 
WGPH4549-60. DIP Switch 4 ON energizes Y1 signal to the ECM 
motor anytime Y/Y2 is energized. The indoor motor will not 
operate properly if switch is not set correctly for the model.

WGPH CFM Delivery and Adjustments

See “Circulating Air Blower” for CFM output, adjustments and 
DIP switch settings.

WGPH Thermostat Fan Only Mode

During Fan Only operations, the CFM output is 50% of the 
high-stage cooling setting.

WGPH Humidity Control

When using a Humidistat (normally closed), cut jumper PJ6 on 
the control board. The Humidistat will affect both low-stage and 
high-stage cooling airflow by adjusting the airflow to 85%.

WGPH 2-Stage Heating

When using staged electric heat, cut jumper PJ4 on the control 
board.

WGPH Thermostat Wiring

Use the thermostat wiring diagrams provided with the thermostat 
when making these connections.
