VFD – BLOWER SPEED AND FREQUENCY READINGS

The logic inputs for the VFD are sent from the thermostat and ignition control through the low and high

speed I/O modules in the form of a contact closure. The chart below lists the nominal speed of the blower

and the frequency signal displayed by the VFD for low and high speed blower operation. If the water heater

exhibits poor run characteristics check the frequency display.
