DESCRIPTION
The blower motor is operated by signals from the air conditioning amplifier. Blower motor speed signals are transmitted by changes in the duty ratio.
Duty Ratio:
The duty ratio is the ratio of the blower motor ON time (A) to the total of the blower motor ON and OFF time (A + B).
The blower motor controller controls the blower motor speed.
