16-PIN ECM HARNESS CONNECTOR
If you do not read voltage and continuity as described, the
problem is in the control or interface board, but not the
motor. If you register voltage as described , the ECM power
head is defective and must be replaced.
WARNING
1. Disconnect the 5-pin and the 16-pin connectors from the
ECM power head.
2. Remove the 2 screws securing the ECM power head and
separate it from the motor.
3. Disconnect the 3-pin motor connector from the power head
and lay it aside.
4. Using an ohmmeter, check the motor windings for
continuity to ground (pins to motor shell). If the ohmmeter
indicates continuity to ground, the motor is defective and
must be replaced.
5. Using an ohmmeter, check the windings for continuity (pin
to pin). If no continuity is indicated, the thermal limit (over
load) device may be open. Allow motor to cool and retest.

ECM CFM Adjustments MBE/AEPF
MBE Motor
This section references the operation characteristics of the
MBE/AEPF models motor only. The ECM control board is
factory set with the dipswitch #4 in the “ON” position and
all other dipswitches are factory set in the “OFF” position.
When MBE/AEPF are used with 2-stage cooling units,
dipswitch #4 should be in the “OFF” position.
For most applications, the settings are to be changed
according to the electric heat size and the outdoor unit
selection.
The MBE/AEPF products use a GE/Regal Beloit ECMTM
motor. This motor provides many features not available on
the traditional PSC motor. These features include:
• Improved Eciency
• Constant CFM
• Soft Start and Stop
• Improved Humidity Control
Each ECM™ blower motor has been preprogrammed for
operation at 4 distinct airow levels when operating in
Cooling/Heat Pump mode or Electric Heat mode. These 4
distinct levels may also be adjusted slightly lower or higher
if desired. The adjustment between levels and the trim
adjustments are made by changing the dipswitch(s) either
to an “OFF” or “ON” position.
