INTRODUCTION
These instructions are written for the Upflow/Horizontal, VariableSpeed, 2–Stage, Induced-Combustion Furnace.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic
components. Take precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the furnace electronic control and
motor. Precautions will prevent electrostatic discharges
from personnel and hand tools which are held during the
procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing
the control to electrostatic discharge by putting the
furnace, the control, the motor, and the person at the same
electrostatic potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. DO NOT TOUCH
THE CONTROLS OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO
THE CONTROLS PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR
BODY’S ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in
a person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily
discharged.
3. After touching the chassis you may proceed to service the
controls, motor, or connecting wires as long as you do
nothing that recharges your body with static electricity (for
example; DO NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT
touch ungrounded objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with
static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touching control or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control or motor from its container,
discharge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to
protect the control or motor from damage. If the control or
motor is to be installed in a furnace, follow items 1. through
5. before bringing the control, motor, or yourself into
contact with the furnace. Put all used AND new controls
into containers before touching ungrounded objects.
7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources)
may also be used to prevent ESD damage.
