This app allows the individual Azure motor speed taps to be adjusted for optimizing system CFM.Azure blower motor adjustments can be made to only one tap at a time; the tap being energized is the tap that can be adjusted. Note: if equipped, a 625RPM constant fan tap is factory locked and cannot be adjusted. For lower speeds, select another tap and reduce torque.
