RGE ELECTRONIC FAN PRESSURE CONTROL (CONTINUED)
The RGE has two modes, minimum speed and cut-off (230 V models only). The RGE is intended to be operated
in the cut-off mode. This mode is selected by the changeover switch, located inside the enclosure. By placing the
switch in the cut-off mode, when pressure is below the setpoint value, the fan motor will be turned off and remain
off until the pressure increases above the setpoint value.

RGE ELECTRONIC FAN PRESSURE CONTROL SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT
The RGE is factory set for use with R-507 and will energize the fan at minimum speed when the high-side pressure
rises above 190–200 psig. The fan motor should operate at full speed (1,075 rpm) when the high-side pressure rises
above 230–240 psig. This setting should be verified on initial startup.
To verify RGE operation, connect the high side of a manifold gauge to the liquid line service valve (P6). Energize
the condensing unit and monitor the fan operation in accordance with the high-side pressure. In low ambient
conditions, the condenser may have to be partially blocked to increase high-side pressure.
To adjust the pressure range, remove the RGE cover and locate the adjustment screw (see Figure 5). To increase
the pressure range, turn the adjustment screw clockwise. To lower pressure range, turn the adjustment screw
counterclockwise. One turn of the adjustment screw will change the range by approximately 15 psig.

OFF-CYCLE FAN PRESSURE SWITCH
The off-cycle fan pressure switch is designed to protect the evaporator and the condensing unit from over pressure
during the wash cycle. The off-cycle switch will operate the fan at full speed if high side pressure rises above 270
psig and operate until pressure falls below 220 psig.
