Blower speed adjustment
Adjust the blower speed to increase or decrease the unit CFM for both non-VFD and factory
installed VFD. The RPM of the supply air (SA) and condenser air blowers depends on the required
CFM and the static resistances of both the supply/discharge and the return/intake duct systems.
For units with VFD, perform the required static and drive setup at the 100% fan speed condition.
Perform an air balance after installation to verify the airflow and static. This may require
adjustments to the drive (refer to Variable Frequency Drive Installation and Operation Instructions
(Form 145.13-NO1). Only operate the unit in the regions defined by the fan tables. The units can be
ordered with oversized motors or drive kits for high static requirements.
Note:
Units with oversized motors or oversized drive kits are designed to operate in the
shaded region of the fan table. Otherwise, the motor amp draw exceeds the overload setting
resulting in overload trips and possible damage to unit. Refer to fan tables for recommended
operating range of standard and oversized motors and drive kits.
Adjusting the blower speed
Determine the RPM for the blowers from the tables in
speed, take the following steps:
1. Loosen the belt tension by moving the motor towards the blower shaft via the adjustable
mounting.
2. Loosen the setscrew in the adjustable motor pulley flange.
3. Remove the external key on pulleys that are 4 inches diameter or larger.
4. Open or close the pulley an appropriate number of turns.
The blower speed increases when the moveable flange is adjusted towards the fixed flange
(closed). The blower speed decreases when the moveable flange is adjusted away from the
fixed flange (opened).
Pulleys are adjustable only in half-turn increments. For 4L and A belts, do not open the pulley
more than five full turns. For B belts, do not open the pulley more than six full turns.
5. Replace the external key and tighten the adjustment setscrew. Proper torque is 110–130 in-
lbs.
6. Install the drive belt and adjust the motor mount to the tension belt (for further information,
see Section 3 – Maintenance and Service).
Low ambient damper
If the unit must operate at an outdoor ambient below 50.0°F, install the optional low ambient
damper kit. This kit maintains an acceptable condensing pressure. Install the damper directly
onto the intake duct connection (see Figure 17 on page 35). Determine the damper position by
the refrigerant pressure. Depending on a proportional pressure control module's output signal, a
direct-coupled electric damper actuator motor drives the damper open or closed.
