D. Outputs
ECM Control
The control controls a multiple speed ECM motor through the 6-pin P3 connector. This connector
provides connection for ECM Speed common (Pin 1), Speed output (Pin 2), Blower Enable (Pin 4), Cool
Enable (Pin 5) and “R” output (Pin 6).
Oil Burner
Control
The control provides dedicated contacts to operate the T-T input of an oil primary control. Rating
shall be class 2 - 24 VAC pilot duty @ 24 VAC (< 200mA).
Power
The switched 120VAC power from the LIMIT switch passes through the board between Pins 1&2
of connector P2.
Compressor contactor
The control provides switched 24VAC to operate a compressor contactor. Rating shall be class 2 - 24
VAC pilot duty @ 24 VAC (< 200mA).
3
All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
EAC (electronic air cleaner)
The control provides a 120VAC output for an electronic air Cleaner. This output is energized whenever the fan
motor is energized (either low, heat or cool speed). Connection is made via male quick connect terminal
labeled "EAC".
Humidifier
The control provides a 120 VAC output for a humidifier. Connections are made to a male quick connect
terminal labeled "EAC". In this application, the humidifier will operate on any blower operation. Humidifier
should be controlled by humidistat to prevent operation during cooling fan operation.
Status LED
A red LED is provided to indicate any thermostat input has been recognized by the microprocessor on the
control. See Diagnostic Features for a function description of operation.
Thermostat Input LEDs
Four green LEDs are placed beneath their respective thermostat connections (W, Y, G and DEHUM) and
operate whenever a call is present. See Diagnostic Features for a function description of operation.
E. Operating Modes
Standby Mode
All outputs are off and the control is waiting for a thermostat demand. The thermostat inputs, and limit switch
are continuously monitored. The control initiates action when a thermostat call is received or limit switch
opens.
Fan Mode
A call for fan ("G") is received from the thermostat. If no other mode is calling for blower operation, the
control will choose a “Low” speed value from the position of DIP switch SW1 positions 4 through 6, as
shown in the CFM Tables. and operate the fan at that speed. The fan mode will be operated as long as the
"G" input is calling and neither the Heat mode nor the Cool mode is calling for blower operation. When the
Heat and Cool modes call for blower operation, their respective outputs will take over after their respective
turn-on time delays have expired. The speed Output is present until the fan call is satisfied.
Cooling Mode
A call for cool ("Y") is received from the thermostat. If the heat mode is not active or the anti-short cycle delay
is not in effect, the control will energize the “CC” terminal. After a 10 second delay ramps up to the “COOL”
speed determined by the position of DIP switch SW1 (positions 4 through 6) determine a speed as shown in
CFM Tables.
When the call for cool is satisfied, the “CC” terminal is de-energized and the cooling off delay of 45 seconds is
started. Forty-five seconds later the blower speed ramps toward zero and the control reverts to Standby Mode.
Dehumidification Operation
If a call for dehumidification is received while the Cool Mode is active, blower speeds will be reduced.
The speed value will be selected from the LOW column of the CFM Tables.
Anti-Short Cycle Operation
To prevent compressor short cycling, a call for cooling will be ignored for four minutes after the
termination of any cooling call. The anti-short cycle delay is also in effect at power-up.
4
All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
Heat Mode
When a call for heat ("W") is received from the thermostat, if the “Cool” mode is not already active, the “T-T”
terminal is energized and the blower on delay is started. The on-off pattern of DIP switch SW2 (positions 1
and 2) select one of four blower on delay values (see Table 1). When the delay time has elapsed, a speed value
is read from DIP switch SW1 positions 1 through 3 (see the CFM Tables) and the blower is ramped up to that
speed.
The control remains in steady heat mode until the thermostat is satisfied. When the call for heat signal is
removed, the “T-T” terminal is de-energized and the blower off delay is started. The on-off pattern of DIP
switch SW2 (positions 3 and 4) select one of four blower off delay values (see Table 1). When the delay time
has elapsed, the blower is ramped toward zero.

Motor Blower Speed
Three blower speed outputs are provided. A “G” call for fan will provide the Low speed only. A “W”
heat call will provide the Heat speed only. A “Y” cooling call will provide the Cool speed only.
In the case of thermostat calls for “Y” and “W” together, blower speed selection will be determined by the
input that was first initiated. In the case where the control is in a cooling mode with both “Y” and “W”
inputs energized and then the “Y” input is removed, the cooling blower off time will be executed prior to
the control switching into a heating mode. In the case where the control is in a heating mode with both
“Y” and “W” inputs energized and then the “W” input is removed, the heating blower off time will be
executed prior to the control switching into a cooling mode. In the case where a call for fan “G” already
exists and either a “W” or a “Y” call is initiated, the blower speed will switch to the respective “W” or a
“Y” speed following the blower on delay for that call.
Six dip switches select Speed values for heat, cool, fan and dehumidification blower speeds (see the CFM
Tables).
Blower On and Off Delays
Four Heat blower on and four blower off delays are selected by two dip switches for each function. Refer
to Table 1 for specific delay values.
Speed Selection values
Three dip switches select 8 cooling speeds. Dependant fan, and dehumidification speeds are selected by
the same switches, their tabular values are enacted when their function is called.
Three additional dip switches select 8 heating speeds which are enacted when heat is called. This allows
independent selection of heating and cooling capacity parameters. See the CFM Tables for speeds.

II. ECM TROUBLE SHOOTING
A. DIAGNOSTC FEATURES
The control board is equipped with 4 green Input Status LEDs and 1 red Board Status LED. These are intended to
provide a quick view into furnace performance without requiring a voltmeter.
The green Input Status LEDs are driven by the “Y”, “W”, “G”, and “DEHUM” inputs and are located directly
below those inputs. They will light to indicate the presence of these signals.
The red Board Status LED has two functions:
It will light when the board recognizes a valid input signal and will stay lit until all valid signals are removed.
This is intended to show that the board is functioning and able to respond to input signals.
It will flash rapidly while120VAC is missing from the LIMIT switch. This is intended to give a quick visual
indication of the High LIMIT switch.

LOW - The LOW Blower speed selected by positions 4, 5 & 6 of SW1 (CFM tables on page 6)
ECM – PSC Replacement
In an emergency situation, a defective ECM motor can be replace with a PSC motor to provide temporary
circulating air flow for heating or cooling. This is done by replacing the ECM motor in the motor mounting bracket
with a PSC motor of similar Horsepower. Wire the common lead (typically white) of the replacement PSC motor to
the neutral (common) terminal on the fan control board (N - 1 through 7). Connect the high-speed replacement PSC
motor lead (typically black) to the EAC terminal on the fan control board. The EAC contact is energized with
115VAC any time the control board is calling for fan operation whether in heating or cooling mode. This
replacement should be only used in emergency situations and only until a replacement ECM motor can be obtained
and reinstalled.
