Learn the history of Honeywell Modutrol IV motors and how the term "mod motor" has become a common industry term for motors used on burners. It also covers the variety of Modutrol IV motors available today, noting that while there are many different models, only a handful are typically used in the boiler and burner industry.

Learn all the information you need to know to order a Honeywell Modutrol IV Motor. There are so many different models of the motors, so it is important to understand the differences.

Learn the proper way to mount a Honeywell Modutrol motor, explaining the importance of using the correct mounting holes, securing the motor, and ensuring the shaft is positioned horizontally for optimal performance. It also introduces Honeywell's adapter bracket, which is used to raise the motor for specific applications, such as replacing older motors, mounting in tight spaces, or using certain external switches and valve attachments.

This section covers the use of internal auxiliary switches in Honeywell Modutrol four motors, explaining their wiring, function, and how they can be installed or added to the motor. It also discusses how these switches are commonly used in burner firing rate applications, with specific cams for controlling the prepurge and ignition phases, and provides tips on identifying the function of the switches using the color-coded cams.

Learn the checkout procedure for a new or replaced Modutrol IV motor installed on a burner, covering key steps such as verifying the motor’s secure mounting, proper wiring, and correct operation of auxiliary switches. It also includes detailed instructions for ensuring the motor’s shaft moves correctly during the prepurge and ignition phases, with specific guidance on adjusting the blue and red cams for proper burner operation.

This section provides a troubleshooting guide for a non-functioning Modutrol IV motor. It also addresses common motor issues such as pinched wires and extra shaft play with advice on how to identify and resolve these problems.

Wrap up of the course and what you have learned.

You are ready to take the final exam!

If you want to do all the research, ask knowledge experts questions, and take apart the motors yourself we fully support that.

If you just want the information delivered to you in an easy to learn format, this learning course is for you.

Yes!

only if you pass the final exam at the end. There are quizzes throughout the course and then one larger final exam at the end. Pass that exam and you will be send a certificate for this course.

Yes absolutely.

Hands-on learning is only one part of the learning process. You need to understand the foundational knowledge first then build upon it with hands-on learning.

For example, you wouldn't learn how to troubleshoot a motor by turning a screwdriver. You learn the method steps, then you can apply them with hands-on practice on a motor.

You can access it anytime you want to for as long as you want.

If you want to learn more about them, this learning course can help you.

But if your job doesn't require you to work with Honeywell Modutrol IV motors, then it may be better to skip this course and learn about a topic that will help further your career.

Absolutely, as long as you put in equal effort.

If you never access the course or are distracted during the lessons, you probably will not learn anything.

Learning takes effort. The good news is this learning course has removed all of the effort of research, reading manuals, and trial by fire by putting all the information in an easy to learn format all in one place.

What you do with it is up to you.

As many times as it takes for you to learn the material.

We suggest going through it at least 5x to make sure you master it. Don't expect to learn and retain everything from the course by taking it once.

The time to complete will vary from person to person, but the average time to finish the learning course is 2.5 hours.

One of the joys of life is you will always be busy. Busy at work, busy with your family, or busy with a hobby you enjoy.

We get it.

The good news is you can break up this learning course into 10-20 minutes a day.

Very doable if you make it a priority.
