Motormaster II Head Pressure Controller CPL0WAMB001A00 – Carrier Low Ambient Fan Cycling Kit, 208-230/460V Compatible
Condition: New
The Motormaster II CPL0WAMB001A00 is a low ambient head pressure controller designed by Carrier® to regulate condenser fan operation based on coil temperature, enabling reliable cooling system performance in cold climates. This control module cycles the condenser fan(s) to maintain proper condensing pressure when ambient temperatures drop as low as -20°F (-29°C). It’s compatible with 1.5 to 5-ton rooftop units, providing system stability and performance in conditions that would otherwise hinder refrigerant flow or cause evaporator icing.
This model includes a thermistor sensor, wiring harness, control board, and mounting hardware, and is capable of operating with 208-230V or 460V 3-phase systems. A jumper setting provides an alternate control mode, raising the control range by approximately 20°F to improve system reliability in frosting-prone installations.

Common Requests
“Will this work with a single-phase unit?”
✅ Yes – though designed for 3-phase, can be adapted to compatible single-phase units.
“Does this include the sensor?”
✅ Yes – thermistor and conductive grease are included in the kit.
“Can I use this with 460V units?”
✅ Yes – dual-voltage support: 208-230V and 460V.
“How do I enable the alternate mode?”
✅ By moving the onboard jumper, the control range shifts 20°F higher to prevent coil frosting.
“Is this a pressure or temperature-based controller?”
❌ Not pressure-based. ✅ This is a temperature-based fan control for better stability and sensor reliability.
