Can u do a video on walking through the set up on the dip switches
Great video! I am in need of a new ecm module (2nd in 2 years) and I am really not wanting to spend another $550 on a module. My question is how do I figure out which psc motor that I need to buy that'll work with my furnace. My furnace is a Bryant 355mav 80k btu. I'm not sure if you can figure that out for me or if you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!!
Hey Jake, thank you for your question. To choose a PSC motor for replacement, first make sure that the PSC motor is the same horsepower as the failed ECM. Next, make sure that you know which voltage the original ECM was running on because you will need to use that same voltage for the replacement PSC motor/QwikSwap V3 combination.
Good video. What about DC motor controls. My Tempstar has a speed control board between the main board and the motor. I believe it's doing the same thing as the end-cap, or bell on the ecm motor. It's discontinued of course so I'm scrambling to get it working as winter sets in. I believe a 24vdc transformer and a bridge rectifier switched in by a relay triggered by the signal from the main board will get me going. Only one speed of course.
Thank you for the comment. As a general rule of thumb, if the original motor has a constant torque ECM (X13) style plug, it will be compatible with our QwikSwap X1 and QwikSwap X3. If the original motor is a variable speed ECM (2.0, 2.3, 2.5, 3.0) with a 16 pin or 4 pin plug, it will be compatible with our QwikSwap V3.
@@qwikproduct Thanks for responding. It's a Tempstar furnace, and the wiring diagram inside the bottom cover says DC motor, but everything I can find on the motor (M55bmcnr-216) says it's 230 vac. Very confusing.
Can I replace Hd46mq134 motor with that kit
I might've been using the wrong Quickswap board on a Trane pkg unit, hoping you can help me out.The part number on the motor module D341314P51, 3/4HP, 16 pin. I used the Quickswap V3, followed the installation instructions and as soon as I turn the power on to the unit the blower motor came on. The thermostat wasn't calling for cooling or heating and the fan was set to auto. I figured it would run for a couple of min. then shut off but it just stayed on. Ended up just taking it off and wiring the PSC motor to the contactor for cooling. I installed the same V3 board on a ICP pkg. unit and it worked fine.(I uploaded a short video installing it)could it be that maybe it wasn't compatible with the Trane unit? if so , which board would work with Trane?
Thank you for the comment and for using our product! The QwikSwap V3 will work on the Trane unit that you are referencing. Sometimes the OEM ECM motor has a slightly different program so the QwikSwap needs a one time manual setting on the configuration switches. This setting can be found in appendix A1 in the install instructions. We would also be happy to walk you through it over the phone 321-631-3550. Additionally there is an interactive troubleshooting guide on our website that will walk you through the configuration setting. It is very easy to use. Here is a link to that troubleshooting guide: qwikproducts.yonyx.com/y/conversation/?id=87f40380-33af-11e9-a9a4-4201c0a80133&h=1&st=0
What is the projected price point of this product. I use alot of your descale solution product for marine refrigeration and A/C it's a great and safe product for what I do. You guys make great quality products thank you.
Thanks! Glad to hear that. You'll have to check your local supply house for a price on the QwikSwap but it'll almost always be a more competitive price point than replacing the ECM motor.
My ECM motor is 1HP. Do I replace it with same 1HP rating PSC motor?
Hi, yes we recommend you match the same HP as as the original.
I have a psc motor on an oil furnace what products can I use to change to ECM? ideally I would like variable speed of possible .
Hi Bjorn, Thank you for your comment. We actually make a product for exactly the situation you are describing. The product is called the QwikSEER+ WattSaver. QwikSEER is designed to combine with a PSC motor to improve it's efficiency and humidity removal by allowing it to change between high, medium, and low speed automatically. Here is a link to the QwikSEER product page for more info: www.qwik.com/product/qwikseer-wattsaver/
looks good- but I have never seen them in the local parts suppliers. Plus they are about 100$ on ebay- a generic ecm motor is 200. A peanut relay is 8$. I would love to try it but I need to be able to get it and I wont buy it from someone on ebay. WHo are distributors.
Mark, thank you for your interest in our Qwik Swaps. If you go to our website, www.qwik.com/, there is a wholesaler locater feature at the top of the page. Simply enter your zip code, and a list of local HVACR wholesalers will be displayed.
ECM is such a scam... For something that costs 3-5X as much giving at best a 20% efficiency increase is great for the manufactures, and bad for your pocketbook.
Awsome
I just removed my psc motor today and installed an ecm. I saved 130 watts on high speed, and saved 350 watts on low speed. Not to mention I dialed in my static CFM to allow my modulating heat pump to run more efficiently. Why on earth would you want to go from ecm back to psc? If you've got an older trouble prone x13, why not just get a new Genteq and leave the woes behind you?
Did you install a Genteq?
Thank you for your comment and for watching our video. The QwikSwap V3 is not for X13 replacement but for variable speed ECM (4 or 16 pin) motors. V3 combines with a PSC motor to provide a much less expensive, universal replacement option that can be kept right on the truck. The price point and universal capability is an immense value to the contractor as well as the homeowner.
Because the genteq is nothing BUT woes my friend !!! I am on my 4th one in 6 years and the unit is not even 9 years old at this point !!!
Does your company offer a PSC to ECM retrofit kit? I have two PSC ah that are on constant fan mode, and would like to, if possible, swap them to ECM.
Thank you for the question! I believe the QwikSEER+ WattSaver is the product you are looking for. QwikSEER gives an operating PSC motor the ability to change between high, medium, and low speeds. Here is a link for more info: www.qwik.com/product/qwikseer-wattsaver/
You lost me at “Hi guys!”
But, I thought ECM's were more energy efficient than PSC motors. Why would you ever want to swap a PSC for an ECM?
Thank you for the comment. There are several variables to consider and ultimately the homeowner has to be happy with the choice. Up front cost is certainly an important factor. The QwikSwap/PSC option is typically much less expensive than the variable speed ECM option.
This can give the homeowner an immediate repair to get aircon up and running instead of waiting for a hard to find special and expensive ECM motor to be shipped, and consequently swelter in the heat until it arrives.
The blower motor doesn't consume near as much electricity as the compressor or heater elements so it's not lowering your bill that much. And the ECM controller is vulnerable to power surges. The failure rate is much higher than PSC motors and until mfg's figure out how to make the controller's more reliable, they will continue to be an inferior motor to the PSC.
E xelemte
Except it’s over $200. You are better off grabbing the green and red from a thermostat and adding an extra contractor then picking one speed tap and making it work for $15.
Thank you for your comment. Utilizing a QwikSwap will allow for much better energy efficiency and humidity removal compared to using only a PSC motor.
@@qwikproduct yeah, but that is only the multistage one at almost $300 that controls humidity better plus it needs a motor... May as well buy a proper ECM motor at that price in my opinion.
@@NETWizzJbirk Both the QwikSwap V3 and the QwikSwap X3 have the multi-speed capabilities. You should find those products at two quite different price points. OEM variable speed ECM motors can be much more than the cost of a QwikSwap V3 and a PSC motor. Aftermarket ECM motors that can replace OEM variable speed ECM motors may be a similar price to the QwikSwap but they have communication restrictions that prohibit them from being "universal". QwikSwap is the only aftermarket ECM replacement product that does not have those communication restrictions. That is the essence of the true value of QwikSwap. It is a tool that can be kept on the truck that can replace any ECM you may encounter in the field.
@@qwikproduct I bet you this guy still has his underwear from when he was ten, cheap bastard.....
you forgot to mention that the PSC will last much longer as it is not nearly as vulnerable to power surges as the controller used in the ECM. I'll take years of reliability over a few dollars a month in savings for efficiency only to have to replace the ECM every few years after a power surge.
This would be watchable if not for the shit "music" and sound effects.
