ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal
injury or death.
Before perform ing service or maintenance operations
on unit, LOCK--OUT/TAGOUT the main power
switch to unit. Electrical shock and rotating
equipment could cause severe injury.

WARNING
Supply Fan (Direct--Drive)
For unit sizes 04, 05 and 06, a direct--drive
forward --curved centrifugal blower wheel is an available
option. The motor has taps to provide the servicer with the
selection of one of fi ve motor torque/speed ranges to best
match wheel performance with attached duct system. See
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 .

ECM Motor — The direct--drive motor is an X13
Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM). An ECM
motor contains electronic circuitry used to convert
single--phase line AC voltage into 3 --phase DC voltage to
power the motor circuit. The motor ci rcuit is a DC
brushless design with a permanent magnet rotor. On the
X13 ECM Motor design, the electronic circuitry is
integral to the motor assembly and cannot be serviced or
replaced separately.
208/230V units use a 230V motor. 460V units use a 230V
motor with a stepdown transformer (mounted on the end
of the fan housing, see Fig. 3). 575V units use a 460V
motor with an autotransformer. Motor power voltage is
connected to motor terminals L and N (see Fig. 4 and
Fig. 5); ground is connect ed at terminal G. The motor
power voltage is ALWAYS present; it is not switched off
by a motor contactor.

Evaluating motor speed — The X13 ECM Motor uses a
constant t orque motor design. The motor speed is adjusted
by the motor control circuitry to maintain the programmed
shaft torque. Consequently there is no specific speed value
assigned to each control tap setting. At the Position 5 tap,
the motor speed is approximately 1050 RPM (17.5 r/s) but
varies depe nding on fan wheel loadi ng.
Selecting speed tap — The five communication terminals
are each programmed to provide a different motor torque
output. See Table 1. Factory default tap selection is
Position 1 for lowest torque/speed operation.

Factory Default: Tap 1 (VIO)
Selecting another speed:
1. Disconnect main power to the unit. Apply
lockout/tagout procedures.
2. Remove the default motor signal lead (VIO) from
terminal 1 at the motor communications terminal.
3. Reconnect the motor signal lead to the desired speed
(terminals 1 through 5).
4. Connect main power to the unit.
