I feel you. But im all about embracing new technology and at least giving it chance. But honestly this device has been around for years, just the NFC is new.
@venvnco6259 that device actually works. Your other option in low ambient temperature cooling applications is to put a manual switch on the outdoor fan motor and go outside turn it off and on manually every 5-10 minutes. Your choice!
That is good to know, I do use a good bit of ICM controls, and I have been waiting for this got a restaurant that needs this for their kitchen systems.
Is there a quick way or site to find out if your fan motor is a sleeve or ball bearing type? If the unit fails does the fan not come on or reversing valve not switch? Just thinking about troubleshooting 5 to 10 years down the road. Thanks Jeff!
As Mario said below, the shaft does have more play in sleeve bearing motor. And yes the if the unit fails, the motor just simply won’t operate and you will get an error code flash on the device.
@JeffsHVACAdventures interesting. In a class on variable speed motors, they said you couldn't vary the speed by changing AC voltage, you needed to convert to DC and create a lower cycle frequency at full voltage.
