INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR NIDEC INDOOR BLOWER MOTOR AND CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT USED ON CBA25UHV AND EQUIVALENT UNITS
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can
cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Installation and
service must be performed by a licensed professional HVAC installer or
equivalent, service agency, or the gas supplier.
CAUTION
As with any mechanical equipment, contact with sharp sheet metal edges can
result in personal injury. Take care while handling this equipment and wear
gloves and protective clothing.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard! – Disconnect all power supplies before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating. Failure to do so can result in
death or electrical shock.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard. Can cause injury or death. Foil-faced insulation has
conductive characteristics similar to metal. Be sure there are no electrical
connections within ½ʺ of the insulation. If the foil-faced insulation comes in
contact with electrical voltage, the foil could provide a path for current to
pass through to the outer metal cabinet. While the current produced may not be
enough to trip existing electrical safety devices (e.g. fuses or circuit
breakers), the current can be enough to cause an electric shock hazard that
could cause personal injury or death.
NOTE – Due to the obsolescence of the Nidec Generation 2 motor platform, repair of older products that utilized this motor requires the replacement of the motor and its controls. Dimensional differences in the new Generation 3 motor require the 16X4 16-pin black programmed motor control box to be mounted on the blower housing. This kit provides the necessary mounting plate, harness and hardware to mount the 16X4 16-pin black programmed motor control box. A new Generation 3 motor with control must be ordered along with a 16X4 16-pin black programmed motor control box listed for the specific air handler in Table 1.

Application
Use the kit specified in the following table to replace the motor or control module in CBA25UHV and equivalent units.
Motor Removal and Replacement
- Disconnect all electrical power to unit. Wait at least five minutes before beginning service procedures. This will allow internal capacitors to fully discharge, avoiding possible electrical shock.
- Remove the blower access panel.
- Unplug the 5-pin (J48) connector motor power harness from the motor control module and the 16-pin (J49) connector harness from the 16X4 black programmed motor control box located on the end of the motor.
