C- Blower Compartment
IMPORTANT
Each blower is statically and dynamically balanced
as an assembly before installation in the unit.
EL196UHE units are equipped with a constant torque ECM
motor. It has a DC motor coupled to an electronic control
module both contained in the same motor housing. The mo
tor is programmed to provide constant torque at each of the
five selectable speed taps. Each tap requires 24 volts to en
ergize.
Input Voltage Requirements
The circuit is designed to be operated with AC voltage. To
enable a tap requires 12 to 33VAC. Expected current draw
will be less than 20mA.
Troubleshooting the Motor
Troubleshooting the motor is an easy process. Follow
steps below.
1- Shut off power to unit.
2- Remove input plugs P48 and P49 from motor. See
figure 15 for troubleshooting procedure.
If correct voltage is present in tests 1 and 2 and motor is not
operating properly, replace motor. The motor is not field re
pairable.
If replacing the indoor blower motor or blower wheel is nec
essary, placement is critical. The blower wheel must be cen
tered in the blower housing as shown in figure 12. When re
placing the indoor blower motor the set screw must be
aligned and tightened with the motor shaft as shown in figure
13.
9. Secondary Limit Controls
The secondary limit is located in the blower compartment on
the back side of the blower housing. See figure 14. When ex
cess heat is sensed in the blower compartment, the limit will
open. If the limit is open, the furnace control energizes the sup
ply air blower and closes the gas valve. The limit automatically
resets when unit temperature returns to normal. The sec
ondary limit cannot be adjusted.
