IX. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Using the schematic wiring diagram, Figure 12, trace the
sequence of operation for the heating cycle is as follows;
1. When the blower door is in place, 120 volts is supplied
through blower door interlock switch 9G. Transformer
lA is energized, supplying 24 volts to heating-blower
relay coil 2E, which opens normally closed blower relay
contacts 2E in the low-speed circuit of blower motor
3D.

2. The wall thermostat “calls for heat,” closing the R and
W circuit. This closed circuit supplies power to the 24volt safety circuit containing Hmit switch 7H1, fusible
link lie, manual-reset draft-safeguard switch 7H2, and
manual reset auxiliary switch 7H3.
3. Simultaneously, the pick coil of gas valve 5F, spark
generator 6F, and inducer-motor relay coil 2D are ener
gized. Inducer-motor relay contacts 2D in the 120-volt
circuit close, starting inducer blower motor 3A. Also,
another set of contacts in inducer-motor relay 2D close
in the 24-volt circuit, and lock in inducer-motor relay
coil 2D. The coil is locked in until the R and W circuit
or safety circuit opens.
4. When the pick coil of gas valve 5F is .energized, gas
flows to the pilot. The pilot gas is ignited by a spark
produced by spark generator 6F. Simultaneously,
inducer motor 3A comes up to speed, actuating flow
sensing switch 7V, energizing the hold coil of gas valve
5F. The pick coil of gas valve 5F and spark generator
6F are deenergized when the contacts of pilot-flame
sensing switch 6H move from the normally closed posi
tion, breaking the circuit to the pick coil and spark gen
erator. In approximately 50 to 60 seconds, the nor
mally open pilot-flame sensing contacts close, making
the circuit to the MGV (Main Operator) of gas valve
5F. Gas valve 5F opens in approximately 10 seconds,
allowing gas flow to the main burners, which are
ignited by pilot 6H. Simultaneously, time-delay circuit
IIL in the blower control center is energized. Approxi
mately 50 seconds after gas valve 5F opens, heating
relay coil 2E is deenergized, which closes the 120-volt
contacts of heating relay 2E, starting blower motor 3D
on its heating speed.
5. When the thermostat is satisfied, the circuit between R
and W is broken, deenergizing gas valve 5F, inducer
motor relay 2D, and the solid-state time-delay circuit
on the printed-circuit board. The gas flow stops imme
diately to the pilot and main burners. After approxi
mately 105 seconds, heat relay 2E is energized and
blower motor 3D stops.
NOTE: After a brief interruption of either electric or gas sup
ply, the furnace will not resume operation until the contacts
of pilot-flame sensing switch 6H move from the normally
open to the normally closed position.
Cooling Cycle
1. The wall thermostat “calls for cooling.”
2. The R, G, and Y circuits are energized. Simultaneously,
the R-and-Y circuit starts the outdoor condensing unit,
and the R-and-G circuit energizes cooling relay coil 2F,
which closes normally open contacts 2F, energizing the
cooling speed winding of motor 3D and opening the
normally closed contacts of cooling relay 2F.
X. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A. Line-Voltage Wiring
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding with the electrical con
nections, make certain that voltage, frequency, and phase
correspond to that specified on the unit rating plate. Also,
check to be sure that the service provided by the utility is
sufficient to handle the additional load imposed by this
equipment. Refer to the unit rating plate for equipment elec
trical requirements.
in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any
local codes or ordinances that might apply.
Use a separate fused branch electrical circuit containing a
properly sized fuse or HACR-type circuit breaker for this
furnace. A disconnecting means must be located within
sight of, and readily accessible to, the furnace. The blower
door switch may be acceptable in some areas as a discon
necting means.
If fine-voltage wiring to the unit is encased in a nonmetalfic
sheath, connect the incoming ground wire to the grounding
wire inside the furnace J-box. If metallic conduit is used, it
will serve as the ground.
B. Low-Voltage Wiring
Make field low-voltage connections at the low-voltage termi
nal strip. See Figure 15.
NOTE: When the furnace is instedled in the horizontal posi
tion with RH discharge air, low-voltage wire connections
can be made easier by removing the two control box mount
ing screws and letting the control box turn so that the lowvoltage screw terminals are visible. Be sure to reinstall the
control box after the connections are made.
NOTE: Use AWG No. 18 “color-coded” copper thermostat
wire for lengths up to 100 ft. Above 100 ft, use AWG No. 16
wire.
IMPORTANT: The thermostat heat anticipation must be set
to match the amp draw of the gas valve and electrical com
ponents in the R-W circuit. Accurate amp draw readings
can be obtained at thermostat subbase terminals R & W.
Figure 13 illustrates an easy method of obtaining the actual
amp draw. The amp reading should be taken after the
blower motor has started.
The room thermostat should be located where it wfll be in
the natureJ circulation path of room air. Avoid locations
where the thermostat would be exposed to cold-air infiltra
tion, drafts from windows, doors, or other openings leading
to the outside, or exposed to air currents from warm- or
cold-air registers; or to exposure where the natural circula
tion of the air is cut off—such as behind doors, above or
below mantels, shelves, etc.
The thermostat should not be exposed to heat from nearby
fireplaces, radios, televisions, lamps, or rays from the sun.
Nor should the thermostat be mounted on a wall containing
pipes or warm-air ducts, or a flue or vent that could affect
its operation and prevent it from properly controlling the
See Figure 15 for wiring diagram showing the proper field
high- and low-voltage wiring. Make all electrical connections

room temperature. Any hole in the plaster or panel through
which the wires pass from the thermostat should be ade
quately sealed with suitable material to prevent drafts from
affecting the thermostat.
C. Blower Control Center
Each furnace features a blower control center. This will aid
the installer and serviceperson when installing and servic
ing the unit. A low-voltage terminal board is marked for
easy connection of field wiring. See Figure 14.
XI. STARTUP AND ADJUSTMENT
In addition to the following information, refer to “Proce
dures for Induced-Combustion Gas-Fired Furnaces” pack
aged with the unit.
NOTE: The furnace blower door must be in place to complete
the 115-volt circuit to the furnace.
A. Adjustment of Blower Speed
To change motor speed taps, remove the motor tap lead. See
Table VI. and relocate it on the desired terminal on the
plug-in terminal block/speed selector located on the blower.

B. Automatic Gas Control Valve
These units are equipped with an automatic gas control
valve. If not already checked when lighting the main
burner, check the proper operation of this valve by moving
the room thermostat pointer above and below room temper
ature and observing that the main burners light on “call for
heat” (there will be a time delay) and go off when the pointer
is moving below room temperature setting.
NOTE: For ease of adjusting the pilot flame, disconnect and
tape one power lead at the main gas valve. Disconnect ter
minal No. 1. This will pervent main burner ignition and
allow time to adjust the pilot. Reconnect the power lead
after adjustment.
