ReliaTel - Condenser Fan Control Logic
For units that have two single speed condenser fans, special control logic is designed to provide proper condenser head pressure control at different ambient conditions.
When the outdoor ambient drops below 60 degrees the second condenser fan (the one farthest away from the control box) will be turned off. When the outdoor temperature reaches 65°, the fan will once again restart.

|---|---|---|
