Start-Up - Blower

Step 5 Air Volume Measurement and

Check

Measure the unit’s air volume (CFM) and compare it
with its rated air volume. If the air volume is off, adjust
the fan’s RPM’s by changing the drive.

Step 6 Set-up Optional Components

Adjust the settings on the optional components. See the control center layout in the reference section for
location of optional components.

• Heating Inlet Air Sensor (typical setting: 60-70ºF)

• Cooling Inlet Air Sensor (typical setting: 75ºF)

• Building Freeze Protection (typical setting: 5 min at 45ºF)

• Dirty Filter Gauge (typical setting: settings vary greatly for each unit)

• Solid Fuel Time Delay (typical setting varies per application)

NOTE!

The most accurate way to measure the air

volume is by using a pilot traverse method

downstream of the blower. Other methods can

be used but should be proven and accurate.

NOTE!

If your unit is equipped with a 4:1 modulating or 8:1 staged control, the inlet air sensor and building

freeze protection may be included in furnace controller. If this is the case, instructions for setting the

inlet air sensor and building freeze protection are included in the furnace start-up.

IMPORTANT!

Changing the air volume can significantly increase the motor’s amps. If the air volume is changed, the

motor’s amps must be checked to prevent overloading the motor.

Step 3 Check for Vibration

Check for unusual noise, vibration or overheating of the bearings. Reference the troubleshooting section for
corrective actions.

IMPORTANT!

Excessive vibration may be experienced during

the initial start-up. Left unchecked, it can cause

a multitude of problems including structural

and/or component failure.

IMPORTANT!

Generally, fan vibration and noise is transmitted

to other parts of the building by the ductwork.

To minimize this undesirable effect, the use of

heavy canvas duct connectors is recommended.

Step 4 Motor Check

Measure the motor’s voltage, amps and RPM’s and compare to the specifications on the motor’s nameplate.
Check the overload setting and make sure it matches the motor’s amperage rating. If the motor’s actual amps
are greater than the nameplate amps, check and correct the supply voltage or air volume of the blower.

NOTE!

Additional starters and overloads may be provided in the make-up air control center for optional

exhaust blowers. Any additional overloads must be checked for proper voltage, amps and RPM’s.
