Blower Speed
For optimum system performance and comfort, it may be
necessary to change the factory speed setting. See Table
1 below for factory settings. NOTE: This model has a High
Efficiency ECM Motor with 5 speed taps.
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, personal injury, or death,
turn off the electric power at the disconnect or the
main service panel before making any electrical
connections.
1. Disconnect all electrical power to the unit and remove

the blower motor. The black wire controls the low speed
cooling and heating operations, the blue wire controls
high speed cooling and heating operations and the
orange wire controls the electric heating operation.
CAUTION:
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
make certain that the motor leads cannot come
into contact with any metal components of the
unit.
3. Verify the required speed from the airflow data found
in Table 1. Place appropriate wire on the appropriate
motor speed tap for the required airflow.
4. Check all factory wiring per the unit wiring diagram and
inspect the factory wiring connections to be sure none
loosened during shipping or installation.
