Oh my, it looks like that DIP switch (and board) might not stay happy for long in the outdoor weather! Is it even coated? I'd like to see (or reverse engineer) a schematic for that Low Ambient Kit board to confirm my doubts that it's ever possible to (reliably) _electronically_ diddle the speed of a large Permanent Split Capacitor motor without inviting failure, fire or frustration. ;-) The time tested “classic” furnace PSC blower motor has winding taps and uses relay(s) for reliable heat/cool speed selection with only two relays; a third relay can even be added to provide three speeds. BTW, IMO there's nothing wrong with solid state relays, but mechanical is safer, especially for that first/main blower relay and important things like controlling gas valves... Does that board incorporate a wiz-bang Varable Frequency Drive circuit, or is it just a temperature-controlled turn signal flasher that's supposed to regulate Condenser Fan speed? Yikes, it sounds like eventual expensive trouble just to save a little juice that could instead be wasted on a tiny fraction of a single electric car. lol
Oh, he’s like how those proprietary monopoly distributor oriented parts are astronomically high. Of course, for most businesses in situation, it’s easier to stick with the original because all the wires are plug and play. Otherwise, we would probably be sticking in an icy M low ambient controller, and I recently for my first time was exposed to a PENN Low ambient fan motor controller what looked more heavy duty and more robust than the ICM.
Everytime I learn something new from your videos. God bless you
Don’t say you’re horrible…, your actually, very smart 👍
Nice video.
Super Expensive means...a mechanical fan cycling control installed some place. Probably will last longer then that circuit controller.
Bravo 🏆🏆🏆 😎👍
You don’t think a fan motor may be a problem ?
Hopefully it’s a ballbearing motor and not sleeve bearing motor as they don’t work well with a low ambient control or motor master
Won't matter, as this controller is ON/OFF.

It's just ON/OFF. You could say it's PWM, but even that's a bit of an overstatement.
