DESCRIPTION
The blower motor is operated by signals from the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The blower motor speed signals are transmitted by changes in the duty ratio.
Duty Ratio:
The duty ratio is the ratio of the blower motor OPEN time (T1) to the total of the blower motor OPEN and LO time (T2).
The blower motor controller controls the blower motor speed.
