FAN COIL DESCRIPTION
AND TROUBLESHOOTING
PSC FAN MOTOR
FSM4, FSU4, FSA4
The PSC motor is two or three speed direct drive.
High−speed lead is black, low−speed lead is red, and
common lead is yellow. Be sure proper blower speed has
been selected..
The motor is turned on through two different routes. The first
occurs when thermostat calls for the fan in cooling, heat
pump, or fan−only mode. A 24−Vac signal is sent to relay,
causing relay to close its normally open contacts, turning fan
on.
The second occurs when there is a call for electric heat. A
24−Vac signal is sent to heater sequencer/relay, causing it to
close, directing 230V through the normally closed contact of
fan relay, turning fan on. The fan remains on until
sequencer/relay opens.
If motor does not run, test motor for an open winding or a
winding shorted to motor case. If either is present, replace
motor.
ELECTRIC HEATER SERVICE
Service can be completed with heater in place. Shut off
power before servicing.
A. Limit Switch
Refer to Electric Heater Function and Troubleshooting section
of this manual.
B. Sequencer
Refer to Electric Heater Function and Troubleshooting section
of this manual.
C. Transformer
A 40−VA transformer supplies 24−V power for control circuit.
Check for 208/230V on primary side of transformer. If present,
check for 24V on secondary side.
NOTE: Transformer is fused. Do not short circuit.
D. Fan Relay
Relay coil is 24−V. Check for proper control voltage. Replace
relay if faulty.
CLEANING OR REPLACING REFRIGERANT
FLOW−CONTROL DEVICE
Refer to Figure 18 and instructions given in “Piston Body
Cleaning or Replacement” section.
The refrigerant flow−control device is protected by a wire
mesh strainer. It is located inside the 3/8−in. liquid tube at
field braze joint next to flow−control device. Access to strainer
is through field braze joint.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
A. Condensing Unit
COOLING
When thermostat calls for cooling, the circuit between R and
G is complete and single−pole single−throw relay FR is
energized. The normally open contacts close causing blower
to operate.
The circuit between R and Y is also complete. This
completed circuit causes contactor in outdoor unit to close
which starts compressor and outdoor fan.
HEATING
When thermostat calls for heating and FAN switch is set on
AUTO, the circuit between R and W is complete. The heater
sequence SEQ is energized which closes contacts of relay.
There will be a time delay. This completed circuit energizes all
heating elements HTR and blower motor.
B. Heat Pump
COOLING
On a call for cooling, the thermostat makes circuits R−O, R−Y,
and R−G. Circuit R−O energizes reversing valve, switching it
to cooling position. Circuit R−Y energizes contactor starting
outdoor fan motor and compressor. Circuit R−G energizes
indoor unit blower relay starting indoor blower motor.
When thermostat is satisfied, its contacts open de−energizing
contactor reversing valve and blower relay. This stops
compressor and fan motors.
HEATING
On a call for heating, the thermostat makes circuits R−Y and
R−G. Circuit R−Y energizes contactor starting outdoor fan
motor and compressor. Circuit R−G energizes indoor blower
relay starting blower motor.
Should temperature continue to fall, R−W circuit is made
through second−stage room thermostat bulb. Circuit R−W
energizes a sequencer bringing on supplemental electric
heat.
When thermostat is satisfied, its contacts open de−energizing
contactor and sequencer. All heaters and motors should stop.
Control Board (contact FAST for part number)
This section of the service manual describes the PCB by
examining the functional operation of the PCB components.
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Component
Layout of the actual PCB is depicted in Figure 1.
1. The low−voltage stripped leads are used to connect
the 24−V side of transformer to indoor thermostat and
outdoor section.
2. A 5−amp fuse is used to protect the low−voltage
transformer secondary.
3. The fan relay is controlled by thermostat and turns fan
on and off.
4. A plug is used as the connection for PCB power and
electric heaters. Note the pin numbers on plug.
5. A time−delay relay circuit keeps fan motor running for
approximately 90 seconds after G is de−energized.
The time−delay can be defeated by cutting jumper
JW1.
Unit Functions
A. Transformer
1. Proper Wiring of Transformer Primary or High Side
Yellow wire from Molex plug is wired to C terminal on
transformer and black wire from PCB relay
(normally−open) terminal is wired to 208−V or 230−V
terminal on transformer. Units are factory wired at
230−V terminal.
2. Proper Wiring of Transformer Secondary or 24−V Side
Red wire of transformer is wired to T terminal on PCB
and brown wire of transformer is wired to C terminal on
PCB.
NOTE: T terminal on PCB is used to protect the transformer.
T terminal is connected through the fuse to R terminal on
PCB.
B. Indoor Fan
1. Wiring
Indoor fan motor yellow lead is wired to C terminal on
transformer. The red, blue, or black speed lead is wired
to SPT terminal on fan relay part of PCB. Units are
factory wired on medium speed (blue lead connected).

Specifications subject to change without notice.
NOTE: Unused fan speed leads must be capped or taped off
to prevent direct short to cabinet surface.
2. Functional Control
a. Thermostat and Relay Control
When thermostat calls for the fan in cooling, heat
pump, heating, or fan−only mode, a 24−Vac signal
is sent to relay. This causes the relay to close its
normally−open contacts, turning on fan. When
thermostat no longer calls for the fan, the signal
sent to relay is turned off and relay opens causing
fan to turn off after a 90−second fan−off delay.
b. Sequencer/Electric Heat Relay Interlock
The fan will also operate whenever there is a call
for electric heat, even if fan relay is not energized.
This happens because fan is interlocked with first
stage of electric heat through the normally−closed
contact of fan relay.
NOTE: The fan interlock is only connected to first stage
electric heat (W2). W3 and E do not contain an interlock with
fan. See outdoor thermostat installation instructions when
electric heat staging is desired.
C. Electric Heat
When thermostat calls for electric heat, a 24−Vac signal is
sent to sequencer/heat relay through W2, causing first stage
to turn on. W3 and E also receive signal if wired in with W2. If
W3 and E are not wired to W2, the sequencers/heat relays
can be controlled individually to stage additional electric heat.
The sequence control is described in the following section:
1. W2
When thermostat sends a signal to W2, a 24−Vac
signal is applied across sequencer/relay No. 1, causing
it to close. When sequencer/relay No. 1 closes, first
stage of electric heat is energized. In straight electric
heat, fan is also energized through the normally closed
contacts of fan relay. In cooling, heat pump, or manual
fan mode, fan will already be running since fan relay
would have been energized. When thermostat stops
calling for electric heat, the 24−Vac signal to
sequencer/relay No. 1 turns off and sequencer opens
after a delay of 60 to 90 seconds. Heaters equipped
with relays will be de−energized immediately. When
sequencer/relay opens, first stage of heat turns off
along with fan, providing thermostat is not calling for
the fan.
2. W3
When a signal is sent to W3, a 24−Vac signal to
sequencer/relay No. 2 causes it to close, with second
stage of electric heat turning on. The 24−Vac signal
applied to sequencer/relay No. 1 causes fan to
operate. Timing is such that sequencer/relay No. 1 will
turn on before sequencer/relay No. 2. When signal to
W3 is turned off, sequencer/relay No. 2 opens. If W2 is
also satisfied, first stage of electric heat and fan will
also turn off, providing thermostat is not calling for the
fan.
3. E
When thermostat sends a signal to E, a 24−Vac signal
is sent to sequencer/relay No. 3. The 24−Vac signal
applied to sequencer/relay No. 3 turns on third stage of
electric heat. The 24−Vac signal applied to
sequencer/relay No. 1 turns on first stage of electric
heat and fan. When thermostat stops calling for electric
heat, the signal to sequencers/relays 1, 2, and 3 are
turned off, and sequencers/relays open. This causes
electric heat to turn off with fan, providing thermostat is
not calling for the fan.
NOTE: Electric heaters are factory wired with all stages tied
together. If independent staging is desired, consult outdoor
thermostat installation instructions, or corporate thermostat
instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD
Use wiring schematics shown in Figure 1 as a guide in
troubleshooting PCB unless otherwise noted.
A. If Fan Will Not Turn On from Thermostat:
IF THERE IS NO HIGH VOLTAGE TO TRANSFORMER:
1. Check plug/receptacle connection. This supplies power
from heaters to PCB Fan Relay. Be sure plug is
connected properly.
2. Check sequencer/relay No. 1 and plug wiring. Yellow
wire should be connected to Pin No. 9 of plug and to
limit switch. Black wire should be connected to Pin No.
7 of plug and to sequencer/relay No. 1.
3. Check field power leads L1 and L2. If these are not
receiving power, system cannot function.
IF TRANSFORMER HAS HIGH VOLTAGE APPLIED TO IT:
1. Check low−voltage transformer leads R (red) and C
(brown). Be sure they are wired to correct locations.
2. Check output voltage of transformer secondary side R
(red) and C (brown). Be sure transformer output is
between 18Vac and 30Vac. If transformer output is
incorrect and transformer is receiving correct input
voltage (208V or 230V), then transformer needs to be
replaced with recommended transformer. If no problem
exists with transformer secondary, proceed to items 3
and 4.
3. Check low−voltage fuse shown in Figure 1. If fuse is
blown, replace it with an identical 5−amp fuse. The
transformer cannot supply power to board with fuse
blown or loose. If fuse blows when unit has power
applied to it, the system most likely has one of the
following problems:
a. Check all 24−V wiring for an electrical short.
b. The maximum load on transformer is 40 VA. If load
on transformer is excessive, the low−voltage 5−amp
fuse will blow to protect transformer. If load exceeds
VA rating of transformer, a larger VA rated
transformer needs to be installed. Check
sequencers/relays for excessive current draw.
c. Check wiring of heaters. If a heater is miswired,
fuse may blow. If a heater is miswired, correct
miswiring by comparing it to heater wiring label.
4. Check connections on primary side of transformer. If
they are not connected properly, the transformer
secondary cannot supply the 24−V signal to energize
fan relay. If transformer is receiving correct primary
voltage but is not putting out correct secondary voltage,
transformer needs to be replaced.
B. If Electric Heat Stages Will Not Turn On But Fan Will
Turn On:
IF THERE IS NO HIGH VOLTAGE TO TRANSFORMER:
1. Check plug connection between heaters and board.
This supplies power to transformer and fan. Be sure
plug is connected properly.
2. Check sequencer/relay No. 1 and plug wiring. Yellow
wire should be connected to Pin No. 9 of plug and to
limit switch. Black wire should be connected to Pin No.
7 of plug and to sequencer/relay No. 1.
3. Check incoming high−voltage power leads. If these are
not receiving power, system cannot function.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE FAN COILS
4496 08 8001 00
Specifications subject to change without notice.
IF TRANSFORMER HAS VOLTAGE APPLIED TO IT:
1. Check low−voltage transformer leads R (red) and C
(brown). Make sure they are wired to correct location.
The unit will not function without proper connections.
2. Check output voltage of transformer secondary side R
(red) and C (brown). If transformer output is low (less
than 18Vac), refer to items 3 and 4 of previous “If
Transformer Has High Voltage Applied To It” section.
IF TRACES ARE OVERHEATED ON BACK OF PCB:
Usually whenever a trace is blown on PCB, it means either
there has been a high−voltage short or high voltage has been
applied to low−voltage circuit. This can be prevented by
making sure PCB is wired correctly before PCB has power
applied to it.
C. If Transformer Fuse Keeps Blowing:
When low−voltage fuse blows, it means transformer would
have blown if fuse had not been in circuit to protect it. The
fuse usually blows when there is a high current draw on
transformer, high voltage applied to low−voltage circuit, or a
direct secondary short. When there is a high current draw on
transformer, it is most likely because transformer has been
shorted or system is trying to draw more VA than transformer
rating allows. When fuse blows because of high voltage, the
system has mixed high−and low−voltage signals.
1. Check wiring of sequencers/relays as shown in
Figure 1. Be sure transformer is not shorting out
because thermostat wires are miswired.
2. Check wiring of relays as shown in Figure 1. Be sure
low−voltage and high−voltage wiring is correct.
3. Check VA draw on transformer. If VA draw is more than
VA rating of transformer, fuse will blow. If this is the
case, replace transformer with one that has a higher
VA rating and meets system specifications.
D. If Fan Runs Continuously:
1. If PCB has no low−voltage power, check blue and
black fan leads. These may be switched at
sequencer/relay.
2. If PCB has low−voltage power, check fan relay to see if
it is opening and closing. It may be stuck in the
normally closed position due to debris in relay.
E. Transformer Failure:
Check 208−V and 230−V transformer connections. They may
be miswired.

MULTI−SPEED ECM FAN MOTOR
The multi−speed ECM motor used with this product contains
two parts: the control module and the motor winding section.
Do not assume the motor or module is defective if it will not
start. Go through the steps described below before replacing
control module or entire motor. The control module is
available as a replacement part.
A. It is normal for the motor to rock back and forth on startup.
Do not replace the motor if this is the only problem
identified.
B. If the motor is not running:
1. Check for proper high voltage and ground at the L,G,
and N connections at the motor. Correct any voltage
issue before proceeding to the next step.
2. The motor is communicated through 24−Vac signals to
the 1,2,3,4,5 and C (common) terminals. Not all taps
are programmed, if low voltage is applied to an
non−programmed terminal, the motor will not operate,
which is normal. Verify the part number of the motor
matches the correct replacement motor part number for
the unit model number.
3. Initiate a demand from the thermostat and check the
voltage between C (common) and terminal 1−5. If
voltage is present and the motor isn’t operating, then
the motor/control module is failed.
C. Prior to installing the replacement control module, the
motor section condition needs to be verified.
1. Check to see if the blower wheel spins freely.
2. To check for short to ground, use an ohmmeter to
measure the resistance from any one of the motor
connector pins to the aluminum end plate of the motor.
This resistance should be greater than 100,000 ohms.
3. Check the motor phase−to−phase resistance between
each of the leads in the three−pin motor connector. The
lead−to−lead resistance across any two leads should
be less than 20 ohms. Each lead−to−lead resistance
should be the same within −/+ 10 percent.
4. If any motor fails any of the three tests, do not install a
new control module. The new control can fail if placed
on a defective motor.
The prior fan coil models with multi−speed ECM blower
motors used a printed circuit board, similar to the PSC
models. The current fan coils do not use the printed circuit
board and rely on the motor control programming to provide
the off−delay timing.
Another design aspect of the control board was to provide a
resistor in the “G” circuit in case a power stealing thermostat
was used. This resistor is no part of the wiring harness, as
shown on wiring diagram. The resistor is a 2−watt, 1500−ohm
resistor.
If the resistor has failed open, a likely cause is due to the
power stealing thermostat. Connecting C (common) may
resolve the issue. Having an open resistor should not affect
the operation of the motor.
Fan Speed Selection
The fan speed selection is done at the motor connector.
Units with or without electric heaters require a minimum CFM.
Refer to the unit wiring label to ensure that the fan speed
selected is not lower than the minimum fan speed indicated.
To change motor speeds disconnect the BLUE fan lead from
motor connector terminal No. 2 (factory default position) and
move to desired speed-tap; 1, 2, 3, or 5.
Speed-taps 1, 2, and 3 have a 90−second blower off time
delay pre-programmed into the motor. Speed-tap 4 is used
for electric heat only (with 0 second blower time delay) and
the WHITE wire should remain on tap 4. Speed-tap 5 is used
for high static applications, but has a 0−second blower time
delay pre-programmed into the motor. See Airflow
Performance tables for actual CFM. Also, see Figure 3 for
motor speed selection location.
NOTE: In low static applications, lower motor speed tap
should be used to reduce possibility of water being blown off
coil.
Tap 1 Low 90 sec off delay
Tap 2 Medium 90 sec off delay

Constant Air Flow
Unlike fan coils using induction motors where static pressure
affects airflow, these fan coils are constant airflow units. The
blower delivers requested airflow regardless of static
pressure. Consult fan coil Specification Sheet for static
pressure limits. The ECM 5.0 is pre−programmed and
contains airflow tables for all modes of operation. Blower
characteristics (requested airflow, torque, and speed) are
known from laboratory testing If any two characteristics are
known, the third is defined.
Requested airflow is known from Easy Select Board
configuration and thermostat signals. Torque is known
because it is directly related to stator current, which is
measured by motor control. Speed is measured by counting
back EMF pulses from stator windings. This information is
entered into an expression that calculates torque from speed
and airflow numbers. If calculation does not match stored
blower characteristics, torque is adjusted until agreement is
reached. This calculation and adjustment is performed every
0.8 seconds while motor is in operation. There is no direct
measure of static pressure, but unit does react to a change in
static to maintain constant airflow. A change in pressure will
result in a change in stator speed and torque. The motor will
begin to adjust on the next sampling, calculate new desired
speed and torque, and adjust as necessary.
INTEGRATED CONTROLS AND MOTOR ECM 5.0
An ECM 5.0 is fed high voltage AC power through the 5−pin
connector. (See Figure 4.) The AC power is then internally
rectified to DC by a diode module. After rectification, DC
signal is electronically communicated and fed in sequential
order to three stator windings. The frequency of these
commutation pulses determines motor speed. The rotor is
permanently magnetized.
An ECM 5.0 is powered with high voltage at all times. The
motor will not run with high voltage alone. Low voltage must
be applied to control plug to run motor.
ECM 5.0 Control Power
The ECM 5.0 control power is supplied from R circuit through
printed circuit runs to motor control Connector−Pin 8, through
motor control harness to motor. The C side of low−voltage
control power circuit is connected by printed circuit runs to
motor Connector −Pins 9, 10, and 11 then through motor
control harness to motor.
Low−Voltage Circuit Fusing and Reference
The low−voltage circuit is fused by a board−mounted 5−amp
automotive−type fuse placed in series with transformer SEC2
and R circuit. The C circuit of transformer is referenced to
chassis ground through a printed circuit run at SEC1
connected to metal standoff marked.
NOTE: The PCB must be mounted with two screws and
motor ground lead secured to blower housing or erratic motor
operation can result.
Transformer, Motor, and Electric Heater Power
Connection
Transformer high voltage supplied from electric heater
package or high voltage leads through 12−pin heater
connector plug2/recp2. The ECM 5.0 power connections are
made at the transformer primary terminals. The transformer
secondary connections are made at SEC1 and SEC2
connectors.
PCB LAYOUT AND DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Layout of actual PCB is depicted in Figure 5.
The Easy Select Board is the interface between the ECM
motor and other system components. The board offers
choices of electric heater size, outdoor unit size and type,
comfort or efficiency settings, on and off delay profiles, and
continuous fan speed. The installer should select the correct
size of components that are being installed in each
installation. If no selections are made, the factory default
settings are for the largest heater, largest outdoor unit, AC
system type, nominal airflow adjust, and 0/90 time delay.
NOTE: Outdoor unit model should have an AHRI rating with
the variable speed fan coil. Some outdoor unit models will not
work properly with this fan coil.
Power for system is supplied from a 230−Vac, 60−Hz line.
Class 2 voltage (24 Vac nom.), used for thermostat
connections, is derived from transformer located in close
proximity to PCB. The 24−Vac secondary circuit includes
5−amp automotive−type fuse in SEC2 circuit.
Connection to heater panel is made through 12−pin
connector PL−1. Connections to thermostat are made at

open R to DH. Dehumidification is active when 24Vac is
removed from DH terminal. Unit delivers 20 percent less
airflow.
E. Super Dehumidify Mode
This mode is only activated when the control closes R to
Y/Y2, R to O (heat pump only) and opens R to DH and R to
G. This signals the fan coil to run at minimum airflow for
maximum humidity removal. The control will cycle the
equipment 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off until satisfied.

F. Heat Pump Heating Mode — Single Speed or
Two−Speed High
Thermostat closes R to Y/Y2 and R to G. A circuit R to Y1 is
required for two−speed high operation. The unit delivers
airflow selected by AC/HP SIZE selection and CFM ADJUST
selection. Selected delay profile is active in this mode.
G. Heat Pump Heating Mode — 2−Speed Low
Thermostat closes R to G and R to Y1. Unit delivers
two−speed low airflow for AC/HP SIZE and CFM ADJUST
selected. Selected delay profile is active in this mode.
H. Non−Staged Auxiliary with Heat Pump Heating Mode
Thermostat should already have closed R to G, R to Y2 for
heat pump heating operation. With J2 jumper in place,
energizing either W1 or W2 will produce the W2 airflow. This
is the greater of heat pump heating and auxiliary heat airflow
plus an additional 15 percent. The elected delay profile is not
active in this mode.
I. Staged Auxiliary Heat with Heat Pump Heating Mode
The auxiliary heat can be staged by removing the J2 jumper
that ties W1 and W2 terminals together. Staging can be done
by using outdoor thermostats or by using the heat staging
option where the indoor control can be configured for
three−stage electric heat. The unit will automatically adjust
airflow when the different stages of heat are energized. The
airflow delivered will depend on the heat pump size selected
and electric heat size selected. The greater of the two
airflows will be delivered. The selected delay profile is not
active in this mode.
J. Electric Heat without Heat Pump
Thermostat closes R to W and thermostat should be set up to
energize G with W. This is due to the Super Comfort Heat
programming in the motor. Energizing W without G will result
in 25% lower airflow delivery. The selected delay profile is not
active in this mode.

Specifications subject to change without notice.
EASY SELECT CONFIGURATION TAPS
The Easy Select taps are used by installer to configure
system. The ECM 5.0 uses selected taps to modify its
operation to a pre−programmed table of airflows. Airflows are
based on system size and mode of operation and those
airflows are modified in response to other inputs such as the
need for de−humidification. (See Figure 5.)
The FVM4 Fan Coils must be configured to operate properly
with system components with which it is installed. To
successfully configure a basic system (see information
printed on circuit board located next to select pins), move the
six select wires to pins which match components used, along
with homeowner preferences.
A. Auxiliary Heat Range
The installer must select the auxiliary heat airflow approved
for application with kW size heater installed. Each select pin
is marked with a range of heaters for which airflow (also
marked) is approved. For increased comfort select the
narrowest kW range matching the heater size, for example,
0−10 for a 10−kW heater. This airflow must be greater than
the minimum CFM for electric heater application with the size
system installed for safe and continuous operation. Note that
airflow marked is the airflow which will be supplied in
emergency heat mode and heating mode on air conditioners
when electric heat is primary heating source. To ensure safe
heater operation in heat−pump heating mode, when electric
heaters are energized, the ECM 5.0 will run the higher of heat
pump airflow and electric heater airflow. The factory default
selection is largest heater range approved. (See Figure 5.)
B. AC/HP Size
The factory default setting for air conditioner or heat pump
size is largest unit meant for application with model of fan coil
purchased. The installer needs to select air conditioner or
heat pump size to ensure that airflow delivered falls within
proper range for size of unit installed in all operational modes.
(See Figure 5.)
Unpack unit and move to final location. Remove carton taking
care not to damage unit. Inspect equipment for damage prior
to installation. File claim with shipping company if shipment is
damaged or incomplete.
Locate unit rating plate which contains proper installation
information. Check rating plate to be sure unit matches job
specifications.
C. System Type
The type of system must be selected.
1. AC—air conditioner (approx. 350 CFM/ton)
2. HP−COMFORT—provides lower airflow than air
conditioner selection (approximately 315 CFM/ton) in
heating mode. In cooling mode supplies 350 CFM/ton.
3. HP−EFF—provides same airflow for heat pump heating
and cooling modes (approximately 350 CFM/ton).
The factory setting is AC. (See Figure 5.)
D. AC/HP CFM Adjust
Select low, nominal, or high airflow. The factory selection is
NOM. The adjust selections HI/LO will regulate airflow
supplied for cooling and heat pump heating modes only, +15
percent and −10 percent respectively. The adjust selection
options are provided to adjust airflow supplied to meet
individual installation needs for such things as noise, comfort,
and humidity removal. (See Figure 5.)
E. ON/OFF Delay
NOTE: ON/OFF Delay is active only in cooling and heat
pump only heating modes. In auxiliary heat mode or
emergency heat mode, the ON delay is 0 seconds and the
OFF delay is fixed and cannot be overridden.
Select desired time delay profile. Four motor−operation delay
profiles are provided to customize and enhance system
operation. (See Figure 5.) The selection options are:
1. The standard 90−seconds off delay (factory setting
0/90).
2. No delay option used for servicing unit or when a
thermostat is utilized to perform delay functions (0/0).
3. A 30−seconds on/90−seconds off delay profile used
when it is desirable to allow system coils time to heat
up/cool down prior to airflow. This profile will minimize
cold blow in heat pump operation and could enhance
system efficiency (30/90).
4. ENH, enhanced selection provides a 30−seconds
on/150−seconds at 70 percent airflow and no off delay.
F. Continuous Fan
Select desired continuous−fan profile LO, MED, or HI. Airflow
are provided to customize and enhance the continuous fan
functions. (See Figure 5.) The possible selections are:
1. LO—provides 50 percent of Y/Y2 Cool airflow.
2. MED—provides 65 percent of Y/Y2 Cool airflow (71
percent on 5 ton model).
3. HI—provides 100 percent of Y/Y2 Cool airflow.
The factory setting is LO.
NOTE: If applied to two−speed unit, do not select continuous
fan as HI since low speed cooling will also run at HIGH airflow
and insufficient dehumidification may result.
G. Easy Select Board Jumpers
J1 −This jumper must be pulled to activate dehumidification
mode. The jumper connects R to DH. With the jumper in, the
DH terminal is always energized. With the jumper pulled, the
DH terminal is de−energized. A thermostat capable of a
DEHUM feature must be used to supply the 24−V signal
when there is no call for dehumidification, and turn off the
24−V when there is a call for dehumidfication.
J2 −This jumper activates heat staging. The jumper connects
the W1 and W2 terminals together. If either is energized, W2
airflow is delivered. With the jumper pulled, there are
separate airflows for W1 and W2.
H. Airflow Delivery
These units deliver airflow depending on the system size
selections and operating mode. The thermostat energizes a
combination of terminals on the Easy Select Board which tells
the motor what CFM to deliver. The following are typical
operating modes and the terminals that should be energized
on the Easy Select Board.
NOTE: The DH terminal on the Easy Select Board is for
dehumidification. It is de−energized on a call for
dehumidification.
I. Variable Speed Motor Logic Sequence:
The ECM motors in these fan coils are programmed to deliver
a variety of airflows. The motor goes through:
COOLING
The nominal cooling airflow for these fan coils is 350 CFM per
ton. Selecting the HI adjust tap increases the airflow to 400
CFM per ton. The LO tap decreases airflow to 315 CFM per
ton. The low adjustment is only active during normal cooling
mode. Removing the signal from the DH terminal reduces the
airflow to 80 percent of cooling airflow. Removing the G signal

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE FAN COILS

which initiates Superdehumidification and reduces the airflow
to 50 percent of cooling.
HEATING
The base heat pump only heating airflow is determined by the
SYSTEM TYPE selection on the Easy Select Board. If
HP−EFFICIENCY is selected, the airflow is the same as
Cooling. IF HP−COMFORT is selected, the airflow is 315
CFM per ton. The airflow will adjust up if necessary when
auxiliary heating is required. When both the Y/Y2 and W1 or
W2 terminals are energized, the motor will run the higher of
the heat pump or electric heat airflows. Super Comfort Heat
mode is initiated when the indoor control removes the G
signal from the board. This slows the motor to 75 percent of
heat pump airflow. If the CFM adjust is set to LO, it will deliver
67.5 percent of heat pump airflow during Super Comfort Heat
mode.
TROUBLESHOOTING
A. Troubleshooting Easy Select Board (FVM4)
If Traces Are Overheated on Back of PCB:
Usually whenever there is a trace broken on PCB, it means
either there has been a high−voltage short or high voltage
has been applied to low−voltage circuit. This can be
prevented by making sure PCB is wired correctly before fan
coil has power applied to it.
If PCB Fuse Keeps Blowing:
When low−voltage fuse blows, it means transformer would
have blown if fuse had not been in circuit to protect it. The
fuse usually blows when there is a high current drawn on
transformer, high voltage applied to low−voltage circuit, or a
direct secondary short. When there is a high current drawn on
transformer, it is most likely because transformer has been
shorted or system is trying to draw more Vac than transformer
rating allows. When fuse blows because of high voltage, the
system has mixed high and low−voltage signals.
1. Check transformer and thermostat wiring. (See
Figure 5.) Be sure transformer is not shorting out
because thermostat wires are miswired.
2. Check wiring of relays. (See Figure 5.) Be sure
low−voltage and high−voltage wiring are connected to
proper sequencers.
3. Check VA draw on transformer. If VA draw is more than
VA rating of transformer, fuse will blow. If this is the
case, replace transformer with one that has a higher
VA rating.
B. Troubleshooting Common Problems
Airflow Too Low:
Y1 instead of Y/Y2 on single−speed air conditioner or heat
pump application. Y1 input is only for two−speed applications.
Using this terminal will deliver about 60 percent of full cooling
airflow.
Wrong Easy Select Board selection. Selecting an outdoor unit
or electric heater smaller than actually installed will result in
low airflow for the application.
G not energized with call for cooling or heating. This triggers
Super Comfort Heat or SuperDehumidify mode which delivers
50 percent of cooling airflow.
J1 jumper pulled with no dehumidistat installed. The J1
jumper ties the DH terminal to R and is installed at the factory.
When pulled, a dehumidistat supplies a 24−V signal to DH
when there is no call for dehumidification (reverse logic).
When there is no signal on DH, the motor reduces airflow to
80 percent for better dehumidification.
Airflow Too High:
Wrong Easy Select Board selection. Fan coil is factory set for
the largest outdoor unit and largest electric heater. Select
sizes that are actually installed.
Continuous fan set too high for two−speed applications. Set
to MED or LO.
Motor Will Not Stop:
The off delay on any W call is one minute and cannot be
overridden.
Some power−stealing thermostats could bleed enough
voltage to cause motor to run slowly when there is no heating
or cooling call. Disconnect thermostat wires and wait two
minutes to see if motor stops. If it stops, replace thermostat,
or install resistor per thermostat installation instructions.
Motor Will Not Start:
See following section, “Troubleshooting ECM 5.0 Motor and
Controls
C. Troubleshooting ECM 5.0 Motor and Controls
ELECTRICAL OPERATIONS HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
High voltage is always present at motor. Disconnect
power to unit before removing or replacing connectors
or servicing motor. Wait at least five minutes after
disconnecting power before opening motor.
CAUTION
!
The ECM/ICM motor used with this product contains two
parts: the control module and the motor winding section. Do
not assume the motor or module is defective if it will not start.
Go through the steps described below before replacing
control module, Easy Select Board or entire motor. The
control module is available as a replacement part.
D. If Motor Turns Slowly:
1. It is normal operation to run noticeably slower if G
terminal is not energized in cooling or heat pump
heating modes.
2. Attach blower access panel. Motor may appear to run
slowly if access panel is removed.
E. If Motor Does Not Run:
Turn power off, wait five minutes and check the following:
1. With power turned off, check 5−amp fuse on Easy
Select Board.
2. Check all plugs and receptacles for any deformation or
corrosion that could cause bad connections. Be sure
plugs are fully seated.
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
DO NOT remove or apply 5−pin plug on motor with
power on. Arcing could occur, which can damage
control module
CAUTION
!
Turn power back on and check the following:
3. Check for 24Vac on SEC1 and SEC2. If no voltage is
present, check transformer.
4. Verify that approximately 230Vac is present at motor.
5. Verify low voltage control signals to motor according to
procedure below.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE FAN COILS
496 08 8001 00 11
Specifications subject to change without notice.
Use following procedure to check low voltage signals:
The ECM motor in these fan coils receive low voltage signals
from the Easy Select Board through the wiring harness
assembly. The combination of pins energized at the motor
determines the speed the motor will run. The procedure
below isolates the fan coil from all external devices such as a
thermostat, condensing unit, humidifier or electronic air
cleaner. There is also a specific troubleshooting example to
demonstrate the process. Table 7 provides information
needed to verify that the correct voltages are present at the
motor and the Easy Select Board.
THERMOSTAT:
1. Remove all thermostat and accessory wires from Easy
Select Board.
2. On Easy Select Board, jumper screw terminals (1 at a
time): R−G, R−Y/Y2, R−Y1, R−W1, R−W2. If motor
runs in all cases, check thermostat outputs. Thermostat
wires may be broken, or thermostat may be miswired,
configured incorrectly, or defective. If the motor does
not run, or runs in some cases, but not others, continue
this procedure to check wiring harness and circuit
board.
WIRING HARNESS:
1. Remove 16−pin plug from motor.
2. Check for appropriate voltages on 16−pin connector
with screw terminals jumpered. (See Table 2.)
3. If signals check correctly, and motor does not run,
inspect wiring harness for loose pins or damaged
plastic that could cause poor connections.
4. If connections are good, either control module or motor
is defective.
5. If proper signals are not present, check circuit board
using procedure below:
12−PIN PLUG (PL−1) ON Easy Select Board:
1. Completely disconnect wire harness from Easy Select
Board.
2. Jumper the screw terminals one at a time; R−G,
R−Y/Y2, R−Y1, R−W1, R−W2 and check for
appropriate voltages on the Easy Select Board pins. If
proper signals are not present, replace Easy Select
Board. If proper signals are present at the pins and not
at 16−pin connector to the motor, the wiring harness is
defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING EXAMPLE:
Motor is not running on a call for heat pump heating after
jumpering the Easy Select Board screw terminals as
described in Thermostat section above.
With all thermostat wires removed from Easy Select Board,
place a jumper wire between R and Y/Y2 low−voltage screw
terminals on the Easy Select Board.
1. Check Table 4 for pin number on 16−pin connector
associated with the Y/Y2 signal. The correct pin is No.
14. The far right column of Table 4 shows that (−)
12Vdc should be present between Pin No. 14 and Pin
No. 1 (common) on the 16−pin connector.
2. Set meter to read DC voltage. Place meter leads
between Pins No. 1 (common) and No. 14 and check
for (−) 12Vdc. If signal is present, the problem is in the
module or motor. If signal is not present, the problem is
either in wiring harness or Easy Select Board.
These steps can be repeated for other modes of operation.
To check Easy Select Board:
1. Leave jumper wire in place between R and Y/Y2.
2. Check Table 4 under Volt Meter on Easy Select Board
Plugcolumn and row for Pin No. 14 on motor plug to
see pin number on Easy Select Board that should have
voltage. The correct pin is No. 2. The column on far
right will show voltage that should be present between
Pin No. 2 and Pin No. 9 (common).
3. Place meter leads between Pins No. 2 and No. 9 on
Easy Select Board and check for (−) 12Vdc.
4. If voltage is present, the wiring harness is bad. If not,
the Easy Select Board is bad.
Verify Motor Winding Section:
Before proceeding with module replacement, check the
following to ensure motor winding section is functional. With
control module removed and unplugged from winding section:
1. The resistance between any two motor leads should be
similar.
2. The resistance between any motor lead and the
unpainted motor end plate should be greater than
100,000 ohms.
If motor winding fails one of these tests, it is defective and
must be replaced.
F. Dehumidify Mode
NOTE: Humidistat must open on humidity rise.
Latent capacities for systems using the FVM4 fan coils are
better than average systems. If increased latent capacity is
an application requirement, the field wiring terminal block
provides connection terminals for use of a standard
humidistat. The FVM4 fan coils will detect the humidistat
contacts opening on increasing humidity and reduce its
airflow to approximately 80 percent of nominal cooling mode
airflow. This reduction will increase the system latent capacity
until the humidity falls to a level which causes the humidistat
to close its contacts. When the contacts close, airflow will
return to 100 percent of the selected cooling airflow. To
activate this mode, remove jumper J1 and wire in a standard
humidistat. Carefully consult product airflow data for cooling
and dehumidification modes.

FCM4
Model FCM4 fan coil is designed to be installed with the
Observertcommunicating wall control. The FCM4 fan coil
will provide airflow at a rate commanded by the Observer wall
control. The nominal airflow/ton rate is 350 CFM/ton. The
Observer wall control will modify the commanded airflow
under certain operating modes. Refer to the Observer wall
control literature for further system control details. This fan
coil will not respond to commands from a common thermostat
except under certain emergency situations explained in this
document.
ELECTRONICALLY COMPUTED MOTOR ECM 3.0
An ECM 3.0 is fed high voltage AC power through the 5−pin
connector. The AC power is then internally rectified to DC by
a diode module. After rectification, DC signal is electronically
communicated and fed in sequential order to 3 stator
windings. The frequency of these communication pulses
determines motor speed. The rotor is permanently
magnetized.
ECM 3.0 CONTROL POWER
The ECM 3.0 control power is supplied from R circuit through
printed circuit runs to motor control connector Plug 1, Pin 1,
through motor control harness to motor. The C side of
low−voltage control power circuit is connected by printed
circuit runs to motor connector Plug 1, Pin 2 then through
motor control harness to motor. A digital signal is sent from
Plug 1, Pins 3 and 4 to communicate with the motor including
all airflow requirements.
LOW−VOLTAGE CIRCUIT FUSING AND REFERENCE
The low−voltage circuit is fused by a board−mounted 5−amp
automotive type fuse placed in series with transformer SEC2
and R circuit. The C circuit of transformer is referenced to
chassis ground through a printed circuit run at SEC1
connected to metal standoff.
NOTE: The PCB must be mounted with two screws and
motor ground lead secured to blower housing or erratic motor
operation can result.
TRANSFORMER, MOTOR, AND ELECTRIC HEATER
POWER CONNECTION
Transformer high voltage supplied from electric heater
package or high voltage leads through 12−pin heater
connector plug/recp2. The ECM 3.0 power connections are
made at the transformer primary terminals. The transformer
secondary connections are made at SEC1 and SEC2
connectors.
TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: Always check high and low voltage supply to the fan
coil components. Check the integrity of the plug receptacle
connections and fan coil wiring harness prior to assuming a
component failure.
A. LED Description:
LEDs built into fan coil control provide installer or service
person information concerning operation and/or fault
condition of the fan coil control and ECM motor. This
information is also available at the Observer wall control in
text with basic troubleshooting instructions. Careful use of
information displayed will reduce the need for extensive
manual troubleshooting.
The amber LED located at bottom center of control adjacent
to motor harness plug is Motor Status LED, and it is labeled
MOTOR. A second amber LED, located in upper right center
of control adjacent to System Communications connector
(DX+, DX−, C, R), is the System Status LED, and it is labeled
STATUS. The green LED labeled COMM is also located
adjacent to System Communications connector, below
STATUS LED, and is used as an indicator of system
communications status. Status Codes will be displayed on
the STATUS LED using the following protocol:
1. The number of short flashes indicates first digit of code.
2. The number of long flashes indicates second digit of
code.
3. A short flash is 0.25 seconds on. A long flash is one
second on.
4. The time between flashes is 0.25 seconds.
5. The time between last short flash and first long flash is
1 second.
6. The LED will be off for 2.5 seconds before repeating
code.
B. Fan Coil Control Start−Up and System
Communications Troubleshooting:
On power up, green COMM LED will be turned off until
successful system communications are established (this
should happen within 10 seconds). Once communications
with Observer wall control are successful, COMM LED will be
lit and held on. At the same time, amber STATUS LED will be
lit and held continuously on until a request for operating mode
is received. The STATUS LED will be on any time fan coil is in
idle mode.
If, at any time, communications are not successful for a
period exceeding two minutes, fan coil control will only allow
emergency heating or cooling operation using a common
thermostat, a non−communicating outdoor unit and the R, C,
Y, O, W outdoor unit terminal strip connections and will
display Status Code 16, System Communication Fault, on
amber STATUS LED. No further fan coil troubleshooting
information will be available at Observer wall control until
communications are re−established.
If COMM LED does not light within proper time period and
status code is not displayed:
1. Check system transformer high and low voltage to be
sure the system is powered.
2. Check fuse on fan coil control to be sure it is not blown.
If fuse is open, check system wiring before replacing it
to be sure a short does not cause a failure of
replacement fuse.
If COMM LED does not light within proper time period and
status code is displayed:

Check system wiring to be sure Observer wall control is
powered and connections are made DX+ to DX+, DX−to
DX−, etc. and wiring is not shorted. Mis−wiring or shorting of
the DX+, DX−, C, R communications wiring will not allow
successful communications.
NOTE: Shorting or mis−wiring low voltage system wiring will
not cause damage to fan coil control or Observer wall control
but may cause low voltage fuse to open.
C. ECM Motor Troubleshooting
The ECM motor used in this product consists of two parts: the
control module and the motor winding section. Do not
assume motor or module is defective if it will not start. Use the
designed−in LED information aids and follow troubleshooting
steps described below before replacing motor control module
or entire motor. Motor control module is available as a
replacement part.

VERIFY MOTOR WINDING SECTION:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death or possible equipment damage.
After disconnecting power from the ECM motor, wait at
least five minutes before removing the control section.
Internal capacitors require time to discharge. Minor
injury from electrical shock may result from early contact
with live metal parts.
!WARNING
Before proceeding to replace a motor control module:
1. Check motor winding section to be sure it is functional.
2. Remove motor control module section and unplug
winding plug. Motor shaft should turn freely, resistance
between any two motor leads should be similar and
resistance between any motor lead and unpainted
motor end should exceed 100,000 ohms.
3. Failing any of these tests, entire ECM motor must be
replaced.
4. Passing all of the tests, motor control module alone
can be replaced.
MOTOR TURNS SLOWLY:
1. Low static pressure loading of blower while access
panel is removed will cause blower to run slowly.
Particularly at low airflow requests. This is normal, do
not assume a fault exists.
2. Recheck airflow using Observer wall control service
screens with access panel in place.
NOTE: Blower motor faults will not cause a lockout of blower
operation. Fan coil control will attempt to run the blower motor
as long as the Observer wall control maintains a demand for
airflow. Fan coil control will not operate electric heaters while
a fault condition exists. The fan coil control communicates
with the motor at least once every five seconds, even when
the motor is idle. If, during operation, the fan coil control does
not communicate with the motor for more than 25 seconds,
the motor will shut itself down and wait for communications to
be reestablished.
D. Using Motor LED in Troubleshooting
The MOTOR LED is connected to the blower motor
communication line and works with the fan coil control
microprocessor and the STATUS LED to provide fan coil
operation and troubleshooting information. When the motor is
commanded to operate, the MOTOR LED will be turned on
and will flash each time instructions are sent to the motor.
When the motor is commanded to stop, the MOTOR LED will
be turned off.
If the MOTOR LED is lit, flashing and the motor is running or if
the MOTOR LED is off and the motor is stopped, operation is
normal and no motor fault exists.
If the MOTOR LED is lit, flashing and the motor does not run,
or if the MOTOR LED is off and the motor is running, check
the STATUS LED for the Status Code. Refer to the
troubleshooting instructions for the indicated Status Code in
Section E, Fan Coil Troubleshooting.

Specifications subject to change without notice.
E. Fan Coil Troubleshooting
Fan coil faults indicated by flashing codes on the amber
system STATUS LED can be resolved using troubleshooting
information provided below. Codes are listed in order of their
priority, highest to lowest. Though multiple faults can exist at
any time, only the highest priority code will be displayed on
STATUS LED. Clearing the indicated fault when multiple
faults exist will cause the next highest priority Status Code to
be flashed. All existing faults, as well as a fault history, can be
viewed at Observer wall control.
STATUS CODE 45, CONTROL BOARD TEST FAULT:
Fan coil control has failed internal start−up tests and must be
replaced. No other service procedure will correct.
STATUS CODE 37, HEATER OUTPUT SENSED ON
WHEN NOT ENERGIZED:
Fan coil control is provided with circuitry to detect presence of
a 24−Vac signal on Electric Heater stage 1 and stage 2
outputs.
If fan coil control detects a 24−Vac signal on either heater
stage output and it is not supplying signal, Status Code 37
will be displayed on STATUS LED. Fan coil control will turn off
output and command blower motor to supply an airflow
determined to be safe for current operation mode with electric
heaters energized.
To find the fault:
1. Stop all system operations at Observer wall control and
check heater stage 24−Vac outputs.
2. Disconnect electric heater at plug/receptacle 2 and
check heater wiring for faults. See Status Code 36 for
more information.
STATUS CODE 44, MOTOR COMMUNICATION FAULT:
The MOTOR LED is connected to the blower motor
communication line and works with the fan coil control
microprocessor and STATUS LED to provide fan coil
operation and troubleshooting information.
When motor is commanded to operate, the MOTOR LED will
be turned on and will flash each time instructions are sent to
the motor.
When the motor is commanded to stop, the MOTOR LED will
be turned off. The MOTOR LED will not flash to indicate
communications when it is turned off.
Fan coil control is constantly communicating with the motor,
even when the motor and MOTOR LED are off. If motor does
not acknowledge receipt of communications, the control will
display Status Code 44 on STATUS LED and continue to try
to communicate with the motor. If motor acknowledges
communication, status code will be cleared.
If MOTOR LED is lit and flashing and motor does not run:
1. Check the STATUS LED. If STATUS LED is indicating a
Status 44 code, check the motor wiring harness for
proper connection to control and motor receptacles.
2. Check motor wiring harness to be sure all wiring
complies with wiring diagram description, makes a
complete circuit from connector to connector and is not
shorted.
3. Check 12−Vdc low−voltage supply to motor at Pins 1
(+) and 2 (−) of motor header connection to fan coil
control.
If all checks are normal, fan coil control is good and control
module on motor may need replacement. Check motor and
Motor Control Module following the instructions in Section C.
ECM Motor Troubleshooting.
Shorted or mis−wiring of the low voltage motor harness wiring
will not cause damage to fan coil control or to motor control
module.
If the MOTOR LED is off, STATUS LED is indicating a Status
Code 44 and motor is running:
Disconnect the motor harness at the fan coil control. If motor
continues to run, fan coil control is good and control module
on motor may need replacement
STATUS CODE 25, INVALID MOTOR / MODEL
SELECTION:
On initial start−up, fan coil control shall poll motor for its size
data and check fan coil size data stored in fan coil control
memory.
1. If motor size is incorrect for fan coil size or fan coil size
data is invalid, Status Code 25 will be displayed on
STATUS LED.
2. If model size data is missing (as is the case when a
replacement fan coil control is installed), Observer wall
control will prompt installer to enter correct model size
from a list of valid sizes.
3. If motor size is incorrect for model size, motor must be
replaced with proper size motor. Fan coil control will
not respond to operation requests until this fault
condition is resolved.
STATUS CODE 27, INVALID OUTDOOR UNIT SIZE:
On initial power−up, fan coil control will write into memory
outdoor unit size as provided by Observer wall control in a
fully communicating system.
1. If outdoor unit size is invalid, Status Code 27 will be
displayed on STATUS LED.
2. If model size data is missing (as is the case when a
replacement outdoor control is installed), Observer wall
control will prompt the installer to choose size from a
list of valid sizes for application with fan coil.
3. Check communications wiring to be sure Observer wall
control has established communications with outdoor
unit or select proper size from valid size list provided at
Observer wall control.
4. Check motor and motor control module following the
instructions in Section C. ECM Motor Troubleshooting.
STATUS CODE 26, INVALID HEATER SIZE:
On initial power−up, fan coil control will write into memory
electric heater size as read from heater if heater is provided
with Identifier Resistor (IDR). Heater size must be valid for
combination of indoor and outdoor components installed. Fan
coil control will read IDR value connected to Pins 5 and 8 of
heater harness connector. If no resistor is found, Observer
wall control will prompt installer to select heater size installed
from a list of valid heater sizes for fan coil and outdoor unit
size installed.
If heater ID resistor value read is invalid, Status Code 26 will
be displayed on STATUS LED.
If heater installed is equipped with a resistor connected to
Pins 5 and 8 of heater harness connector and Status Code
26 is displayed on STATUS LED:
1. Check wiring harness connections to be sure
connections are secure.
2. If symptoms persist, disconnect wiring harness at fan
coil control heater header and check for a resistance
value greater than 5000 ohms.
3. Check for proper wiring of resistor assembly.
4. Make sure heater size installed is an approved size for
outdoor unit and fan coil sizes installed.

Specifications subject to change without notice.
NOTE: Fan coil control will not operate electric heater until
this Status Code is resolved. If the heater size is set through
the Observer wall control, the heater will be operated as a
single stage heater. If staging is desired, the IDR value must
be read in by the fan coil control.

STATUS CODE 36, HEATER OUTPUT NOT SENSED
WHEN ENERGIZED:
Fan coil control is provided with circuitry to detect presence of
a 24−Vac signal on Electric Heater stage 1 and stage 2
outputs.
If fan coil control energizes either heater stage and does not
detect the 24−Vac signal on output, Status Code 36 will be
displayed on the STATUS LED Fan coil control will continue
to energize heater output(s) and adjust blower operation to a
safe airflow level for energized electric heat stage(s).
To find the fault, check for 24Vac on heater stage outputs.
Fan coil control or sensing circuit may be bad.
NOTE: It may be useful as an electric heater troubleshooting
procedure to disconnect the system communications to force
Status Code 16 enabling of emergency heat mode. It is
difficult to know which heater output is energized or not
energized in normal operation. When fan coil is operated in
emergency heat mode using electric heaters, both outputs
are energized and de−energized together. Terminal strip
inputs to control can then be connected R to W to turn on
both electric heat outputs. Heater output sensing circuits can
then be checked to resolve Status Code 36 or 37 problems.
STATUS CODE 41, BLOWER MOTOR FAULT:
If MOTOR LED is lit and flashing and motor does not run:
1. Check STATUS LED. If STATUS LED is indicating
Status Code 41, motor control has detected that the
motor will not come up to speed within 30 seconds of
being commanded to run or that the motor has been
slowed to below 250 rpm for more than 10 seconds
after coming up to speed. Motor wiring harness and fan
coil control are operating properly, do not replace.
2. Check to be sure that the blower wheel is not rubbing
the housing.
3. Check motor to be sure that the motor shaft is not
seized (motor control module must be removed and
electronics disconnected from windings to perform this
check properly).
4. Check motor windings section following instructions in
Section C. ECM Motor Troubleshooting.
If all these checks are normal, the motor control module may
need replacement.
STATUS CODE 16, SYSTEM COMMUNICATION FAULT:
If, at any time, system communications are not successful for
a period exceeding two minutes, the fan coil control will only
allow emergency heating or cooling operation using a
common thermostat, a non−communicating outdoor unit, and
the R, C, Y, O, W outdoor unit terminal strip connections and
will display Status Code 16 on the amber STATUS LED (see
section E, Emergency Heating and Cooling Modes). No
further fan coil troubleshooting information will be available at
the Observer wall control until communications are
reestablished.
Check system wiring to be sure the Observer wall control is
powered and connections are made DX+ to DX+, DX−to
DX−etc. and wiring is not shorted. Mis−wiring or shorting of
the DX+, DX−, C, R communications wiring will not allow
successful communications. Correcting wiring faults will clear
the code and reestablish communications.
Shorting or mis−wiring the low voltage system wiring will not
cause damage to fan coil control or to Observer wall control
but may cause the low voltage fuse to open.
STATUS CODE 46, BROWNOUT CONDITION:
If the secondary voltage of the transformer falls below 15Vac
for a period exceeding four seconds, Status Code 46 will be
displayed on STATUS LED.
If system includes a non−communicating outdoor air
conditioner or heat pump, the Observer wall control will
command the fan coil to turn off Y output controlling
compressor.
When secondary voltage rises above 17Vac for more than
four seconds, the brownout condition is cleared and normal
system operation will resume subject to any minimum
compressor off delay function which may be in effect.
Brownout does not affect blower or electric heater operation.
STATUS CODE 53, OUTDOOR AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR FAULT:
If an OAT sensor is found at power−up, input is constantly
checked to be within a valid temperature range. If sensor is
found to be open or shorted at any time after initial validation,
Status Code 53 will be displayed at amber STATUS LED.
Check for faults in wiring connecting sensor to OAT terminals.
Using an Ohmmeter, check resistance of thermistor for a
short or open condition.
If thermistor is shorted or open, replace it to return the system
to normal operation. If fault is in the wiring connections,
correcting the fault will clear the code and return the system
to normal operation.
NOTE: If fault condition is an open thermistor or a wiring
problem that appears to be an open thermistor and the power
to the fan coil control is cycled off, the fault code will be
cleared on the next power−up but the fault will remain and
system operation will not be as expected. This is because on
power−up, the fan coil control cannot discern the difference
between an open sensor or if a sensor is not installed.
F. Emergency Heating and Cooling Modes
Fan coil control can provide emergency heating or cooling
using a common heat/cool thermostat in the event that there
are no system communications, fault is in Observer wall
control and no replacement is immediately available.
To activate these modes, the thermostat and outdoor unit
must be wired as a common heating/cooling system to fan
coil control RYWC terminals. Fan coil control must be
powered and displaying Status Code 16, System
Communication Fault.
NOTE: These emergency modes do not provide the level of
comfort and efficiency expected by the consumer and should
only be activated when Observer wall control cannot be
replaced immediately.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
The FCM4 fan coil is designed for installation with Observer
communicating wall control. This fan coil will not respond to
commands provided by a common thermostat except under

certain emergency situations described in the Start Up and
Troubleshooting sub−section.
The Observer wall control uses temperature; humidity and
other data supplied from indoor and outdoor system
components to control heating or cooling system for optimum
comfort.
ADVANCED TROUBLESHOOTING:
Troubleshooting the FCM4 Fan Coil Circuit Board:
The circuit board Fan Coil part number 1184554
Primary test that should be performed:
Motor Line Voltage Check
1. Turn off power (240V).
2. Remove Plug 3 from ECM motor
3. Turn on power.
4. Check Plug 3, terminals 4 and 5, to ensure there are
240V.
5. Turn off power.
6. Reconnect Plug 3 to motor.
The following troubleshooting techniques will assist in
determining the correct component to replace when the Fan
Coil Board presents a Fault Code 44 or 41:
1. Disconnect power from the unit (240V).
2. Disconnect the DX+, DX−, C, R connector from the
board.
3. Disconnect Plug 1 from the board. (See Figure 10.)
4. Turn on power (240 volts).
5. After reestablishing power, you should receive Fault
Code 44, and the motor LED should be off.
6. Place a jumper across the R and G terminals on the
low voltage terminal block
7. Fault Code 44 should still be flashing.
8. The Motor LED should be flashing, indicating the board
is able to transmit a signal to the motor.
9. If Motor LED is not flashing, check to ensure that 24V
is present across R and C on the low voltage terminal
block and that there is a good connection with the R
and G jumper.
10. If 24V is present and the jumper/connections are
good,
11. Replace the board.
Check Board
12. If Fault Code 44 and the Motor LED are both flashing,
place a DC voltmeter across terminals PL1-1 Red (+)
to PL1-2 Green (-). (See Figure 10.)
13. Across terminal PL1−1 and PL1−2, a 12−Vdc should
be present. If 12Vdc is not present, replace circuit
board.
14. If Fault Code 44 is flashing and the Motor LED is
flashing, place a DC voltmeter across terminal PL1−3
(+) and PL1−2 (−).
15. Across terminal PL1−3 (+) and PL1−2 (−), the DC volt
meter should display 5Vdc. The voltage should be very
stable and should not fluctuate more than .02Vdc. If the
voltage fluctuates, get a different voltmeter before
proceeding to the following steps.
16. Reconnect Plug 1 to circuit board and connect DC
voltmeter across terminals PL1−3 Yellow (+) and
PL1−2 Green (−). Does the voltage appear to fluctuate
more than in step 15? Typical voltmeters will show a
fluctuation of .2Vdc to 1Vdc. The amount of fluctuation
is not important. You could see even more fluctuation
depending on the voltmeter used.

17. Check the blower motor serial output signal. The
blinking LED on the control board represents the serial
output signal. You can measure the signal with a DC
voltmeter by removing Plug 1 from the circuit board and
connecting the DC voltmeter across PL1−4 (+) and
PL1−2 (−). The voltage should be near 0Vdc but it will
fluctuate briefly several times per second. If you have
an analog voltmeter, the needle briefly will go high
several times per second. If you have a digital
voltmeter with a bar graph, it will show a large change
in magnitude on the bar graph several times per
second. If you have a plain, digital voltmeter, it will
show a brief fluctuation in voltage, and the magnitude
may vary depending on the voltmeter used.

ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Before installation or servicing system, always turn off
main power to system. There may be more than one
disconnect switch. Turn off accessory heater power if
applicable. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable
warning label.
!WARNING
FAN MOTOR
FMA4P, WAMA
The FMA4P and WAMA motor is three−speed ECM direct
drive. High−speed lead is black, medium−speed lead is red,
low−speed lead is blue, and common lead is purple. Be sure
proper blower speed has been selected.
The motor is turned on through two different routes. The first
occurs when thermostat calls for the fan in cooling, heat
pump, or fan−only mode. A 24−Vac signal is sent to relay,
causing relay to close its normally open contacts, turning fan
on.
The second occurs when there is a call for electric heat. A
24−Vac signal is sent to heater sequencer/relay, causing it to
close, directing 230V through the normally closed contact of
fan relay, turning fan on. The fan remains on until
sequencer/relay opens.
If motor does not run, test motor for an open winding or a
winding shorted to motor case. If either is present, replace
motor.
FMA4X, WAXA
The FMA4X and WAXA motor is five−speed direct drive. The
cooling speed tap is selected by connecting the green wire to
the desired motor tap number indicated on the motor plug.
For the electric heat fan speed selection connect the white
wire to the desired motor tap number indicated on the motor
plug.
The blower motor in this unit has blower−on and blower−off
delays. The blower−on delay is 0−30 seconds and will keep
the motor running after a heating or cooling call ends.
If motor does not run, test motor for an open winding or a
winding shorted to motor case. If either is present, replace
motor.
ELECTRIC HEATER SERVICE
Service can be completed with heater in place. Shut off
power before servicing.
A. Limit Switch
Refer to Electric Heater Kit Function and Troubleshooting
section of this manual.
B. Sequencer
Refer to Electric Heater Kit Function and Troubleshooting
section of this manual.
C. Transformer
A 40−VA transformer supplies 24−V power for control circuit.
Check for 208/230V on primary side of transformer. If present,
check for 24V on secondary side.
NOTE: Transformer is fused. Do not short circuit.
D. Fan Relay
Relay coil is 24−V. Check for proper control voltage. Replace
relay if faulty.
CLEANING OR REPLACING REFRIGERANT
FLOW−CONTROL DEVICE
FMA4P, WAMA
The FMA4P and WAMA piston can be removed and cleaned
if believed to be plugged. This unit’s piston is unique and
replacements are available from FAST.
The filter drier should be located on the liquid line at the
indoor unit to prevent particulate from plugging the piston.
FMA4X, WAXA
The FMA4X and WAXA fan coils use an R−410A TXV. The
TXV’s are preset at the factory and do not need adjustment
for reliable operation. Reference the outdoor unit instructions
to properly charge the unit to the correct subcooling. For
optimal performance, adjust the TXV so that 6º F of
superheat is measured at the outdoor unit’s vapor service
valve when the indoor return air is 80ºF DB/67ºF WB and
outdoor ambient is 82ºF DB. To increase superheat turn the
TXV adjustment stem clockwise no more than one rotation at
a time. After an adjustment is made, wait until the superheat
temperature has been stable for 15 minutes before making
further adjustments.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
A. Condensing Unit
COOLING
When thermostat calls for cooling, the circuit between R and
G is complete and single−pole single−throw relay FR is
energized. The normally open contacts close causing blower
to operate.
The circuit between R and Y is also complete. This
completed circuit causes contactor in outdoor unit to close
which starts compressor and outdoor fan.
HEATING
When thermostat calls for heating and FAN switch is set on
AUTO, the circuit between R and W is complete. The heater
sequence SEQ is energized which closes contacts of relay.
There will be a time delay. This completed circuit energizes all
heating elements HTR and blower motor.
B. Heat Pump
COOLING
On a call for cooling, the thermostat makes circuits R−O, R−Y,
and R−G. Circuit R−O energizes reversing valve, switching it
to cooling position. Circuit R−Y energizes contactor starting
outdoor fan motor and compressor. Circuit R−G energizes
indoor unit blower relay starting indoor blower motor.
When thermostat is satisfied, its contacts open de−energizing
contactor reversing valve and blower relay. This stops
compressor and fan motors.
HEATING
On a call for heating, the thermostat makes circuits R−Y and
R−G. Circuit R−Y energizes contactor starting outdoor fan
motor and compressor. Circuit R−G energizes indoor blower
relay starting blower motor.
Should temperature continue to fall, R−W circuit is made
through second−stage room thermostat bulb. Circuit R−W
energizes a sequencer bringing on supplemental electric
heat.
When thermostat is satisfied, its contacts open de−energizing
contactor and sequencer. All heaters and motors should stop.
