Overview

The MBVC Blower is a modular blower cabinet designed for use in split air-conditioning systems. It functions as the indoor component when combined with a cased evaporator coil, forming a two-piece blower and coil combination. This setup can be matched with a remote condensing or heat pump unit, offering various mix-matching possibilities. Additionally, the blower cabinet can operate as an electric furnace when an electric heater is installed.

Function Description:

The MBVC Blower cabinets are primarily used as the indoor section of a split air-conditioning system. They are designed to work with cased evaporator coils to provide cooling and, when equipped with an electric heater kit, heating. The unit utilizes a variable speed ECM motor to maintain a constant airflow, even with varying duct static pressures. It is approved for applications with cooling coils up to 0.8 inches W.C. external static pressure. A key feature is the ability to adjust airflow by ±10%.

The MBVC Blower is part of the ComfortNet™ family of products, enabling it to be installed as either a "legacy" system with a standard 24 VAC thermostat or as a digitally communicating system with a CTK01AA ComfortNet™ thermostat kit. In a ComfortNet™ system, the indoor unit, outdoor unit, and thermostat communicate digitally in a two-way manner, providing automatic airflow configuration, enhanced setup features, and advanced diagnostics. This digital communication also reduces the number of thermostat wires required to a maximum of four.

Important Technical Specifications:

¹ Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) and Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) for blower without supplemental heat installed. Refer to unit nameplate for MCA and MOP with approved accessory heaters installed.

Blower Opening Dimensions (Top View):

  • Small: 10-7/8" W x 16-1/2" D (10-1/4" opening)
  • Medium: 11" W x 20-1/16" D (11-5/16" opening)
  • Large: 13-1/4" W x 23-1/2" D (11-5/16" opening)

Heater Kit Compatibility (HKR):

The MBVC blowers are compatible with various HKR heater kits (e.g., HKR-03, HKR05, HKR-06, HKR-08, HKR-10, HKR-15C, HKR-20C, HKR-21C). Compatibility varies by model and specific heater kit. "X" indicates allowable combinations, while "~" indicates restricted combinations. Circuit breaker options ("C") are available for some heater kits.

Blower Performance Data (CFM output based on HTR kW and model):

The performance data table provides CFM values for different HTR kW settings across the MBVC1200, MBVC1600, and MBVC2000 models. It also specifies DIP switch settings (SWITCH 9, 10, 11) for each configuration.

  • For example, MBVC1200 with 3 HTR kW provides 600 CFM with switches 9, 10, 11 ON.
  • MBVC2000 with 20 HTR kW provides 2000 CFM with switches 9, 10 OFF and 11 ON.

Cooling Speed and Adjust Selection:

The blower speed selection DIP switches on the integrated control module allow for setting "cooling" speed taps (switches 1 and 2) and "adjust" taps (switches 3 and 4).

  • LOW STAGE COOL / HIGH STAGE COOL: Various CFM outputs are available depending on switch 1 and 2 settings (OFF/OFF, ON/OFF, OFF/ON, ON/ON).
  • CFM Trim Adjust: Minor adjustments to CFM can be made using DIP switch combinations 3-4, offering Normal, +10%, and -10% adjustments.

Electrical Supply:

All models operate on 208-230V/60HZ/1 phase. The unit includes a 40 VA transformer for 24 VAC control. Fuses: 24V/3A.

Usage Features:

  • Flexible Installation: Can be positioned for upflow, counterflow, horizontal right, or horizontal left operation.
  • Variable Speed Motor: Maintains constant airflow despite changes in duct static pressure, enhancing comfort and efficiency.
  • Airflow Adjustment: Allows for a ±10% adjustment of airflow, providing flexibility for specific installation requirements.
  • ComfortNet™ System Integration: When paired with a CTK01AA thermostat, it enables two-way digital communication, leading to automatic airflow configuration, enhanced setup, and advanced diagnostics. This simplifies installation and improves system performance.
  • Legacy System Compatibility: Can also be installed with a standard 24 VAC thermostat as part of a traditional system.
  • Electric Furnace Capability: Can function as an electric furnace when an electric heater kit (HKR) is field-installed.
  • Thermostat "Fan Only" Mode: In this mode, the CFM output is 30% of the maximum CFM capability.
  • Refrigerant Metering: CAPX/CHPX coils are equipped with a thermostatic expansion valve with a built-in internal check valve. CACF/CAPF/CHPF coils use a fixed restrictor orifice.

Maintenance Features:

  • Diagnostic LED: The integrated control module features a diagnostic LED to assist in troubleshooting.
  • Fault Recall: The system can recall the last 6 faults (most recent to least recent) by depressing a switch for more than 2 seconds while in standby.
  • Network Status LEDs: Red Status LED indicates network status, and Green RX LED indicates network traffic. A learn button is available to reset the network.
  • Wiring Diagrams: Detailed wiring diagrams are provided for two-stage cool/two-stage heat thermostats and two-stage heat pump heating with auxiliary/emergency heating, facilitating proper installation and troubleshooting.
  • Component Identification: The model number provides positive identification of component parts for easy service and parts ordering.
  • Insulation: All units are constructed with R-4.2 insulation. In areas of extreme humidity (greater than 80% consistently), insulating the exterior of the blower with insulation having a vapor barrier equivalent to ductwork insulation is recommended, provided local codes permit.

Safety Information:

  • HIGH VOLTAGE! Disconnect ALL power before servicing or installing the unit. Multiple power sources may be present. Failure to do so may cause property damage, personal injury, or death.
  • Installation and repair should ONLY be performed by qualified, professionally trained HVAC technicians.
  • All safety information in the Service Manual (RS6200007) must be followed.
  • Do not connect or use any device not design certified by Goodman for use with this unit, as it may result in serious property damage, personal injury, reduced unit performance, and/or hazardous conditions.
  • Do not store combustible materials or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of the appliance to prevent the risk of property damage, personal injury, or death.
  • Adherence to EPA regulations regarding refrigerants is mandatory to avoid environmental harm and substantial fines.
  • Replacement wiring material must have a temperature rating of at least 105°C and use copper conductors only.
  • The unit must be permanently grounded and conform to N.E.C. and local codes.
