What talks to the inducer motor ?
old rooftop package carrier weathermaker
Im replacing the belt on blower , get that done , fired it up to check flames , and im hearing the inducer kick on , then flames come on , and im like ..... how in the world does the board know the inducer is going ok ?? Theres no vacuum pot.
Does the motor have a sensor that knows if the armature is spinning a certain Rpm ?

It would be a centrifugal end switch that makes at a certain rpm.
Not the best way to check draft

Its either a centrifugal switch or a "hall effect" sensor depending on age of the unit ...
