GENERAL
This book contains instructions for the installation,
start-up, and service of the Motormaster III control on
38AKS008-012, 38AQS008, 38AK008-012, 48/50TJ008-
014, 48/50HJ008-014, and 50LJQ008,012 units. The
Motormaster III control is not used on 50-Hz versions of
the 50HJ008-014 and 50LJQ008,012 units.
NOTE: The Motormaster III control is not used on 48/50HJ
and 48/50TJ units with 2 condenser fans. The control is
used on single condensing fan units only.
The Motormaster III accessory is UL (Underwriters’ Lab¬
oratories) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association)
approved on all split system and small rooftop electric cool¬
ing and gas heating/electric cooling units.
The Motormaster III device is a motor speed control de¬
vice which adjusts condenser fan motor speed in response
to declining liquid temperatures. A properly applied Motor-
master III control extends the operating range of air condi¬
tioning systems and permits operation at lower outdoor am¬
bient temperatures.
Table 1 shows the ambient temperature in cooling at which
each unit will operate without modification.
