    How to change DIP Switch Settings on a Gooman Air Handler
    I have a Goodman AEPF 183016 air handler. How do I change the DIP swishes to add CPM? The product specifications state that you can speed up the fan using the #7 dip switch. Where are the DIP Switches?

    I DO NOT suggest you play with the dip switches if you have a ECM or variable speed motor unless you have the proper tools to test the CFM of air movement. Most units are setup during the install for proper operation.

    Below is a portion of the manual for that unit.


    51
    S-202 DUCT STATIC PRESSURES AND/OR
    STATIC PRESSURE DROP
    ACROSS COILS
    This minimum and maximum allowable duct static pressure
    for the indoor sections are found in the specifications
    section.
    Tables are also provided for each coil, listing quantity of air
    (CFM) versus static pressure drop across the coil.
    Too great an external static pressure will result in insufficient
    air that can cause icing of the coil. Too much air can cause
    poor humidity control and condensate to be pulled off the
    evaporator coil causing condensate leakage. Too much air
    can also cause motor overloading and in many cases this
    constitutes a poorly designed system.
    S-203 AIR HANDLER EXTERNAL STATIC
    To determine proper air movement, proceed as follows:
    1. Using a draft gauge (inclined manometer), measure the
    static pressure of the return duct at the inlet of the unit,
    (Negative Pressure).
    2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct, (Positive
    Pressure).
    3. Add the two readings together.
    TOTAL EXTERNAL STATIC
    NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read
    directly on the manometer if so desired.
    4. Consult proper table for quantity of air.
    If external static pressure is being measured on a furnace to
    determine airflow, supply static must be taken between the
    "A" coil and the furnace.
    Air Flow
    TOTAL EXTERNAL STATIC
    S-204 COIL STATIC PRESSURE DROP
    1. Using a draft gauge (inclined manometer), connect the
    positive probe underneath the coil and the negative probe
    above the coil.
    2. A direct reading can be taken of the static pressure drop
    across the coil.
    3. Consult proper table for quantity of air.
    STATIC PRESSURE DROP
    If the total external static pressure and/or static pressure
    drop exceeds the maximum or minimum allowable statics,
    check for closed dampers, dirty filters, undersized or poorly
    laid out duct work.
