2.1 GAS AND COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
WARNING
Any condition that will allow gas or combustion products to enter furnace area can cause nausea, asphyxiation or fire resulting in damage, injury or death.
Natural gas and propane (LP) gas have characteristic odors. When your furnace is operating correctly, you should not smell any unfamiliar odor. Normally, burning gas with air produces combustion products which contain carbon dioxide, oxygen and water vapor. Under abnormal conditions, combustion products can contain aldehydes and carbon monoxide.
Manual | |
Page | 3 of 15 |
•Aldehydes have a strong pungent, acrid smell that can cause nausea.
•Carbon monoxide is tasteless, colorless and odorless. It can cause headaches,
WARNING
Any unfamiliar smell can alert you to presence of gas or aldehydes. If you detect any unfamiliar odor follow instruction in Section 4.B.1. Otherwise, nausea, asphyxiation or fire could occur resulting in damage, injury or death.
WARNING
Do not block or cover combustion openings in the furnace. Blocking or covering these openings could cause nausea, asphyxiation or fire resulting in damage, injury or death.
WARNING
A loud noise may mean faulty burner ignition. If your furnace makes a loud noise, turn it off. Follow instructions in
Section 4.B.2. If you don’t turn off your furnace, it could cause fire or an explosion resulting in damage, injury or death.
WARNING
Do not operate furnace with blower door open or removed. Do not alter furnace to allow operation with blower door removed.
Doing either could allow combustion products to circulate throughout the furnace area causing nausea, asphyxiation or fire resulting in damage, injury or death.
WARNING
Front door must be in place during furnace operation. Hot surfaces behind front door.
2.2STORAGE AND USE OF FLAMMABLE, CORROSIVE AND COMBUSTIBLE PRODUCTS NEAR YOUR FURNACE
WARNING
Never store or use flammable liquids or vapors near or on your furnace. These include gasoline, kerosene, cigarette lighter fluid, cleaning fluids, solvents, paint thinners or painting compounds. Flammable vapors can travel great distances before igniting.

2.3 ALTERATION OF FURNACE CONTROLS
WARNING
Do not alter any gas or electrical controls (gas control or safety controls) in any manner. Altering them could cause furnace to operate unsafely resulting in damage, injury or death.
SECTION 3 • UNDERSTANDING HOW YOUR FURNACE WORKS
Your installer should have given you a detailed explanation of how the furnace operates. Shown below are the basic operation characteristics and sequence of operation. If you have any questions consult your installer and/or service agency.
* * IMPORTANT * *
There are many types of thermostats compatible with this furnace. Make sure you understand the specific type installed.
Ask installer for detailed explanation, and retain thermostat instruction manual for reference.
This furnace is equipped with a vent
3.1 BASIC OPERATION – HEATING CYCLE
This furnace is operated by an Integrated Furnace Control (IFC) and a gas control system which controls all functions of the furnace.
On a call for heat from the thermostat, the IFC first turns on the inducer motor. The pressure switch then closes signaling the ignition control to proceed with ignition function.
The ignition system consists of a direct spark igniter (DSI) and remote sensor. When the thermostat calls for heat the DSI sparks to light main burner gas. Once ignited the remote sensor confirms flame carry over to all burners.
There is a
3.2 BASIC OPERATION – COOLING CYCLE
On a call for cool the compressor and condenser fan will start immediately, and the comfort air blower will start 7 seconds later on cooling speed. Note: Some models may be equipped with optional Low Ambient Control that will cycle the condenser fan motor to maintain proper refrigerant pressures under lower outdoor temperature conditions. When the thermostat is satisfied the compressor and condenser fan will stop and the comfort air blower will continue to operate for 60 seconds.
3.2.1 COMPRESSOR CONTROL MODULE (CCM)
All models are equipped with a compressor control module. This control is an
Delay on Make Timer and Break Time Delay
•On initial power up, or any time the power is interrupted to the unit, the delay on make period begins. This delay will be2 minutes plus 10% of the delay on break setting. This feature assures that pressures will be equalized for normal start up if there are brief power interruptions, and can accommodate staggered starts for dual unit installations as long as the off delay periods are set differently for the two units.
•During routine operation of the unit with no power interruptions the compressor will operate on demand with no delay as long as off delay time has been met.
•Adjustable

High Pressure Switch and Lockout Sequence
•If the high pressure switch opens, the compressor contactor will
•If the high pressure switch opens again during the same operating cycle the CCM will go into a manual lockout condition.
•Recycling the wall thermostat resets the manual lockout.
Low Pressure Switch, Bypass and Lockout
Sequence (Optional)
•If the low pressure switch opens for more than 120 seconds the compressor contactor will deenergize and the CCM will go into soft lockout.
•Regardless of the state of the low pressure switch the compressor contactor will reenergize after the delay on break time has expired.
•If the low pressure switch remains open, or opens again for longer than 120 seconds, the CCM will go into a manual lockout and the alarm relay circuit will energize.
•Recycling the wall thermostat resets the manual lockout.
NOTE: Both high and low pressure switch controls are inherently automatic reset devices. The high pressure switch opens at 425 and closes at 325 psig, and the low pressure switch opens at 14 and closes at 30 psig. The lockout features, both soft and manual, are a function of the Compressor Control Module.
Alarm Relay Output
•Alarm terminal on Compressor Control Module is 24V AC output connection for applications where signal is desired. This terminal is powered whenever compressor is in manual lockout due to high pressure or low pressure sequences as described.
PHASE MONITOR
All units with three phase scroll compressors are equipped with a three phase line monitor to prevent compressor damage due to phase reversal.
The phase monitor in this unit is equipped with two LEDs. If the “&” signal is present at the phase monitor and phases are correct, the green LED will light.
If phases are reversed, the red fault LED will be lit and compressor operation is inhibited.
3.3MANUAL FAN (CONTINUOUS AIRFLOW) OPERATION
If wall thermostat is set to MANUAL (ON) position to operate comfort air blower continuously to provide air circulation throughout the building, the blower will operate at a level that is lower than cooling or heating airflows. This permits the air to circulate as desired but helps keep the operating noise level down as well a conserving energy.
During a call for cooling, the blower automatically shifts up to cooling speed, and remains there until 60 seconds after thermostat is satisfied then drops back to heating speed.
