Blower Control (A54)
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Can cause
injury or death. Before attempting to
perform any service or maintenance,
turn the electrical power to unit OFF at
disconnect switch(es). Unit may have
multiple power supplies.
SLO185UFV units are equipped with a variable speed
blower motor which is capable of maintaining a specified
CFM throughout the external static range. Harmony zone
controls cannot be used with this furnace since the ECM
motor is not programmed for variable speed operation.
The blower motor is controlled by jumper selections made
on the A54 blower control. Jumpers are available to select
both heating and cooling blower speeds, as well as adjust
ment rates for cooling blower speeds and a test mode.
Blower control settings and operation are described in this
section.
The units are factory-set for nominal airflow for each mod
el. Figure 20 shows the blower control. Use table 7 to de
termine the correct air volume for operation in heat and
cool mode.
Read this section thoroughly before adjusting the jumpers
to obtain the appropriate blower speed.
To change jumper positions, gently pull the jumper off the
pins and re-position it across the pins that will give the desired
blower speed. The following section outlines the different
jumper selections available and conditions associated with
each one (see figure 20).
IMPORTANT
The unit is not designed for and will not work with
the Harmony zone control system.
COOL (single‐stage systems)
The
COOL
jumper is used to determine the CFM during
cooling operation. This jumper selection is activated for
cooling when Y1 is energized. A factory-installed jumper
from Y1 to Y2 allows single-stage cooling.
The blower motor runs at 82% CFM for the first 7-1/2 min
utes of each cooling demand to allow for greater humidity
removal and to conserve energy. If, after 7-1/2 minutes,
the Y demand is not met, 100% CFM is supplied until the
demand is satisfied.

When the demand for cool is met, the blower ramps down
to 82% CFM for 60 seconds, then turns off.
COOL (two‐stage systems)
This unit is factory-wired for single-stage cooling. For
two-stage cooling operation, you must cut the jumper
wire from Y1 to Y2 on the A54 blower control.
Cut the
jumper close to the Y1 terminal to allow a pigtail connection
with the remaining wire from the Y2 terminal and a wire
connected to the Y2 terminal of the two-stage thermostat.
Refer to field wiring diagrams.
A thermostat call for first‐stage cooling closes the R to Y1
circuit on the A54 blower control. The blower motor runs at
57% CFM for the first 7-1/2 minutes of the 1st-stage cool
ing demand. After 7-1/2 minutes, the blower motor runs at
70% CFM until the first-stage demand is satisfied.

If first-stage cooling does not satisfy the demand, the ther
mostat calls for 2nd‐stage cooling, closing the R to Y2 cir
cuit on the A54 blower control. The blower motor ramps up
to 100% CFM.
When the Y2 demand is met, the blower ramps down to Y1
at 70% CFM until Y1 is met, and ramps down to 57% CFM
for 1 minute, then turns off.
Heat Pump
IMPORTANT
For heat pump operation, cut the jumper between R
and O near the R terminal of A54 and connect the
pigtail to the thermostat O wire (A54 board “O” to
thermostat “O”). See figure 19.
In heat pump mode, a call for heat pump operation follows
the same sequence as a call for cooling, with the exception
that there is a 30-second blower ramp-up to blower CFM.
