ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic
components. Take precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the furnace electronic control.
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, and the person at the same electrostatic potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. DO NOT TOUCH
THE CONTROL OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE
CONTROL 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
control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing that
—3—
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 (and 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 from its container, discharge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to protect
the control from damage. If the control is to be installed in
a furnace, follow items 1 through 5 before bringing the
control 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.
LOCATION
I. GENERAL
CAUTION: Do not install furnace in a corrosive or
contaminated atmosphere. Make sure all combustion and
circulating air requirements are met, in addition to all
local codes and ordinances.
Do not use this furnace during construction when adhesives, sealers, and/or new carpets are being installed. If
the furnace is required during construction, use clean
outside air for combustion and ventilation. Compounds of
chlorine and fluorine when burned with combustion air
form acids which cause corrosion of the heat exchangers
and metal vent system. Some of these compounds are
found in paneling and dry wall adhesives, paints, thinners, masonry cleaning materials, and many other solvents commonly used in the construction process.
Excessive exposure to contaminated combustion air will
result in safety and performance related problems.
III. HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS
18-IN. MINIMUM
TO BURNERS
A93044
WARNING: When furnace is installed in a residential
garage, it must be installed so that burners and ignition
sources are located a minimum of 18 in. above floor. The
furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical
damage by vehicles. When furnace is installed in a public
garage, airplane hangar, or other building having a
hazardous atmosphere, unit must be installed in accordance with requirements of National Fire Protection
Association, Inc.
Air For Combustion And Ventilation
Provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided in accordance with Section 5.3 of the NFGC, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation, or applicable provisions of the local
building codes.
Canadian installations must be installed in accordance with NSCNGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction.
WARNING: DO NOT install the furnace on its back or
sides. Safety control operation will be adversely affected.
A failure to follow this warning can cause a fire, personal
injury, or death.
This furnace must be installed so the electrical components are
protected from water.
Locate furnace as close to the chimney/vent and as near the center
of the air distribution system as possible. The furnace should be
installed as level as possible.
Provide ample space for servicing and cleaning. Always comply
with the minimum fire protection clearances shown on the unit
rating plate. This furnace shall not be installed directly on
carpeting, tile, or any combustible material other than wood
flooring. The furnace may be installed on combustible flooring
when installed with the accessory downflow subbase, which is
available from your distributor or branch when required.
II. LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with or on the
downstream side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat
exchangers. When installed parallel with a furnace, dampers or
other means used to control the flow of air must prevent chilled air
from entering the unit. If the dampers are manually operated, they
must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit
unless the damper is in the full-heat or full-cool position.
CAUTION: Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen compounds, which include fluoride,
chloride, bromide, and iodide. These elements are found
in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents,
salts, air fresheners, and other household products.
CAUTION: The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans, clothes dryers, or fireplaces could create a
NEGATIVE PRESSURE CONDITION at the furnace.
Make-up air MUST be provided for the ventilation
devices, in addition to that required by the furnace.
All fuel-burning equipment must be supplied with air for combustion of the fuel. Sufficient air MUST be provided to ensure there
will not be a negative pressure in the equipment room or space. In
addition, a positive seal MUST be made between the furnace
cabinet and the return-air duct to avoid pulling air from the burner
area and blocked vent safeguard opening.
The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon
whether the furnace is located in an unconfined or confined space.
IV. UNCONFINED SPACE
An unconfined space has volume of at least 50 cu ft for each 1000
Btuh of total input for all appliances (such as furnaces, clothes
dryers, water heaters, etc.) in the space.

92,000613
115,000767
135,000920
MINIMUM SQ FT WITH
7–1/2 FT CEILING
If the unconfined space is of unusually tight construction, air for
combustion and ventilation MUST come from either the outdoors
or spaces freely communicating with the outdoors. Combustion
and ventilation openings must be sized the same as for a confined
space as defined below. Return air must not be taken from the
room unless an equal or greater amount of air is supplied to the
room.
V. CONFINED SPACE
A confined space is defined as a space whose volume is less than
50 cu ft per 1000 Btuh of total input ratings of all appliances
installed in that space. A confined space MUST have provisions
for supplying air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue
gases using 1 of the following methods. (See Figs. 3, 4, and Table
2.)
NOTE: In determining free area of an opening, the blocking
effect of louvers, grilles, and screens must be considered. If free
area of louver or grille design is unknown, assume that wood
louvers have a 20 percent free area and metal louvers or grilles
have a 60 percent free area. Screens, when used, must not be
smaller than 1/4-in. mesh. Louvers and grilles must be constructed
so they cannot be closed.
The size of the openings depends upon whether air comes from
outside of the structure or an unconfined space inside the structure.
1. All air from inside the structure requires 2 openings (for
structures not usually tight):
a. Each opening MUST have at least 1 sq in. of free area
per 1000 Btuh of total input for all equipment within the
confined space, but not less than 100 sq in. per opening.
(See Fig. 3 and Table 2.) The minimum dimension of air
openings shall not be less than 3 in.
b. If building is constructed unusually tight, a permanent
opening directly communicating with the outdoors shall
be provided. See item 2 below.
c. If furnace is installed on a raised platform to provide a
return-air plenum, and return air is taken directly from
hallway or space adjacent to furnace, all air for combustion must come from outdoors.
2. Air from outside the structure requires 1 of the following
methods:
a. If combustion air is taken from outdoors through 2
vertical ducts, the openings and ducts MUST have at
least 1 sq in. of free area per 4000 Btuh of total input for
all equipment within the confined space. (See Figs. 3, 4,
and Table 2.)
b. If combustion air is taken from outdoors through 2
horizontal ducts, the openings and ducts MUST have at
least 1 sq in. of free area per 2000 Btuh of total input for
all equipment within the confined space. (See Fig. 4 and
Table 2.)
c. If combustion air is taken from outdoors through a single
opening or duct (horizontal or vertical) commencing
within 12 in. of the top of the confined space, opening
and duct MUST have at least 1 sq in. of free area per
3000 Btuh of the total input for all equipment within the
confined space and not less than the sum of the areas of
all vent connectors in the confined space. (See Fig. 4 and
Table 2.) Equipment clearances to the structure shall be
at least 1 in. from the sides and back and 6 in. from the
front of the appliances.
When ducts are used, they must be of the same cross-sectional area
as the free area of the openings to which they connect. The
minimum dimension of ducts must not be less than 3 in. (See Fig.
4.)
AIR DUCTS
This section covers installation of the 376CAV Series H and J
furnace.
I. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The duct system should be designed and sized according to
accepted national standards such as those published by: Air
Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA), Sheet Metal and
Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) or
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE). Or consult factory The Air Systems DesignGuidelinesreference tables available from your local distributor.
The duct system should be sized to handle the required system
design airflow CFM at the design external static pressure.
When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air to
areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air must
also be handled by a duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and
terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
Secure ductwork with proper fasteners for type of ductwork used.
Seal supply- and return-duct connections to furnace with code
approved tape or duct sealer.
Flexible connections should be used between ductwork and
furnace to prevent transmission of vibration. Ductwork passing
through unconditioned space should be insulated to enhance
system performance. When air conditioning is used, a vapor
barrier is recommended.
Maintain a 1-in. clearance from combustible materials to supply air
ductwork for a distance of 36 in. horizontally from the furnace. See
NFPA 90B or local code for further requirements.
II. DUCTWORK ACOUSTICAL TREATMENT
Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow and 10 ft
of main duct to the first branch take-off may require internal
acoustical lining. As an alternative, fibrous ductwork may be used
if constructed and installed in accordance with the latest edition of
SMACNA construction standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both
acoustical lining and fibrous ductwork shall comply with NFPA
90B as tested by UL Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.
III. SUPPLY AIR CONNECTIONS
A. Downflow Furnaces
Connect supply-air duct to supply-air opening on furnace. The
supply-air ducts attachment must ONLY be connected to furnace
supply/outlet or air conditioning coil casing (when used), when
installed on non-combustible material. When installed on combustible material, supply-air duct attachment must ONLY be connected to an accessory subbase or factory approved air conditioning coil casing. DO NOT cut main furnace casing to attach supply
side air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All accessories
MUST be connected external to the furnace main casing.
B. Horizontal Furnaces
Connect supply-air duct to supply-air opening on furnace. The
supply-air ducts attachment must ONLY be connected to furnace
supply/outlet or air conditioning coil casing (when used). DO NOT
cut main furnace casing to attach supply side air duct, humidifier,

sources of ignition for to check for gas leakage. Use a
soap-and-water solution to check for gas leaks. Failure to
follow this warning could result in fire, explosion, personal injury, or death.
Joint compounds (pipe dope) should be applied sparingly and only
to the male threads of the joints. This pipe dope must be resistant
to the action of propane gas.
An accessible manual shutoff valve MUST be installed upstream
of the furnace gas controls and within 72 in. of the furnace. A
1/8-in. NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connection,
MUST be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the furnace and downstream of the manual shutoff
valve. Place a ground joint union between the gas control manifold
and the manual shutoff.
Install a sediment trap in the riser leading to the furnace. The trap
can be installed by connecting a tee to the riser leading from the
furnace. Connect a capped nipple into the lower end of the tee. The
capped nipple should extend below the level of the gas controls.

X. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This section covers the electrical connections necessary to install
the 376C503 furnace.
A. 115–V Wiring
Refer to the unit rating plate or Table 6 for equipment electrical
requirements. The control system requires an earth ground for
proper operation.
CAUTION: Do not connect aluminum wire between
disconnect switch and furnace. Use only copper wire.
Make all electrical connections in accordance with the current
edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA
70-1999 and any local codes or ordinances that might apply. For
Canadian installations, all electrical connections must be made in
accordance with Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1, or authorities having jurisdiction.
NOTE: Proper polarity must be maintained for 115-v wiring. If
polarity is incorrect, control board status code indicator light will
flash rapidly and the furnace will not operate.
WARNING: The cabinet MUST have an uninterrupted
or unbroken ground according to NEC, ANSI/NFPA
70-1999 and Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 or
local codes to minimize personal injury if an electrical
fault should occur. This may consist of electrical wire or
conduit approved for electrical ground when installed in
accordance with existing electrical codes. Do not use gas
piping as an electrical ground. Failure to follow this
warning could result in electrical shock, fire, or death.
B. 24–V Wiring
Make field 24-v connections at the 24-v terminal strip. (See Fig.
14.) Connect terminal Y as shown in Fig. 15 or proper cooling
operation in cooling mode. Use only AWG No. 18, color-coded,
copper thermostat wire.
The 24-v circuit contains an automotive-type, 3-amp fuse located
on the main control board. Any direct shorts during installation,
service, or maintenance could cause this fuse to blow. If fuse
replacement is required, use ONLY a 3-amp fuse of identical size.
C. Accessories
1. Electronic Air Cleaner (EAC)
Two quick-connect terminals marked EAC-1 and EAC-2
are provided for EAC connection. (See Fig. 14.) These
terminals are energized with 115-v, (1.5-amp maximum)
during blower motor operation.
2. Humidifier (HUM)
A quick-connect terminal (HUM) and screw terminal (C
OM)
are provided for 24-v humidifier connection. (See Fig. 16.)
HUM terminal is energized with 24-v (0.5-amp maximum)
after inducer pressure switch closes.
WARNING: DO NOT connect furnace control HUM
terminal to HUM (humidifier) terminal on Thermidistat™, Zone Controller or similar device. See Thermidistat, Zone Controller, thermostat, or controller manufacturer’s instructions for proper connection. A failure to
follow this warning could result in fire.
NOTE: A field-supplied, 115-v controlled relay connected to
EAC terminals may be added if humidifier operation is desired
during blower operation.
XI. VENTING
Refer to the national or local installation code such as NFGC in the
United States, or the NSCNGPIC in Canada for proper vent sizing
and installation requirements. Use the enclosed Installation Instructions (Single-Stage Vent Tables for Category I Fan-Assisted
Furnaces) for a quick, easy reference.
After fully assembling the vent connector to the furnace flue collar,
securely fasten the vent connector to the collar with two fieldsupplied, corrosion-resistant, sheet metal screws located 180° apart
and midway up the collar.
The horizontal portion of the venting system shall maintain a
minimum of 1/4-in. upward slope per linear ft and it shall be
rigidly supported every 5 ft or less with hangers or straps to ensure
that there will be no movement after installation.
START-UPPROCEDURES,ADJUSTEMENT,AND
SAFETY CHECK
I. GENERAL
NOTE: Proper polarity must be maintained for 115-v wiring. If
polarity is incorrect, control status indicator light will flash rapidly
and furnace will not operate.
The furnace must have a 115-v power supply properly connected
and grounded. Proper polarity must be maintained for correct
operation. Thermostat wire connections at R, W, C, and Y must be
made at the 24-v terminal block on the furnace control. The gas
service pressure must not exceed 0.5 psig (14-in. wc), but must be
no less than 0.16 psig (4.5-in. wc).

Before operating the furnace, check each manual reset switch for
continuity. If necessary, press the button to reset the switch.
The blower compartment door must be in place to complete the
115-v circuit to the furnace.
CAUTION: This furnace is equipped with 2 manual
reset limit switches in the gas control area. The switches
will open and shut off power to the gas valve if a flame
rollout or an overheating condition occurs in the gas
control area. DO NOT bypass the switches. Correct
inadequate combustion air supply problem and reset the
switches.
II. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
CAUTION: Furnace control must be grounded for
proper operation, or control will lockout. Control is
grounded through green wire routed to gas valve and
burner bracket screw.
Using the schematic diagram shown in Fig. 16, follow the
sequence of operation through the different modes. Read and
follow the wiring diagram very carefully.
NOTE: If there is a power interruption and any thermostat call,
the control will initiate a 90-sec blower only on period before
starting another cycle.

NOTE: Ignition sequence will repeat 3 additional time before a
lockout occurs. Lockout automatically resets after 3 hr, or can be
manually reset by turning 115–v off (not at thermostat) for 3 sec
minimum, then on again.
A00292
When the thermostat “calls for heat,” the R-W circuit
closes. The furnace control performs a self-check, verifies
the pressure switch contacts are open, and starts inducer
motor.
a. Prepurge period—As the inducer motor comes up to
speed, the pressure switch contacts close to begin a
15-sec prepurge period.
b. Igniter warm-up—At the end of the prepurge period, the
igniter is energized for a 17-sec igniter warm-up period.
c. Ignition sequence—When the igniter warm-up period is
completed, the gas valve opens, permitting gas flow to
the burners where it is ignited. After 5 sec, the igniter is
de-energized and a 2-sec flame-sensing period begins.
d. HUM terminal is energized with the gas valve. See
Accessories in the Electrical Connections section.
e. Flame-sensing—When burner flame is sensed, the con-
trol begins the blower on delay period and continues
holding the gas valve open. If burner flame is not sensed,
the control closes the gas valve and repeats ignition
cycle.
—12—
f. Blower on delay—Forty-five sec after burner flame is
proven, the blower motor is energized on heating speed.
Simultaneously, terminals HUM and C
OM-24V for hu-
midifier, and EAC-1 and EAC-2 for EAC are energized.
If jumper is on pin 6 and pin 9, blower on delay period
is 66 sec.
g. Blower off delay—When the thermostat is satisfied, the
circuit between R-W is broken, de-energizing the gas
valve stopping gas flow to the burners. The blower
motor and EAC remain energized 90, 135, 180, or 225
sec (depending on the blower off-time selection). The
furnace is factory set for a 135-sec blower off delay
period.
h. Post-purge—The inducer motor remains energized 5 sec
after the burners are extinguished. If jumper is on pin 6
and pin 9, the post-purge period is 15 sec.
2. Cooling mode
When the thermostat “calls for cooling,” R-G and R-Y
circuits close. The R-Y circuit starts the outdoor condensing
unit and the combined R-Y and R-G circuits start the
furnace blower motor on cooling speed. The EAC-1 terminal is energized with 115–v when the blower is operating on
cooling speed.
When the thermostat is satisfied, R-G and R-Y circuits are
broken. The furnace blower and EAC continue operating on
cooling speed for an additional 90 sec.
NOTE: EAC-1 terminal in energized with 115-v whenever
blower is operating.
3. Continuous blower mode
When the R-G circuit is made, the blower motor operates on
heating speed. During a call for heat, the blower stops,
allowing the furnace heat exchangers to heat up more
quickly, then restarts at the end of the 45-sec blower on
delay period. If jumper is on pin 6 and pin 9, the blower on
delay is 66 sec.
The blower reverts to continuous operation after the heating
cycle is completed.
When the thermostat “calls for cooling,” the blower operates on cooling speed. When the thermostat is satisfied, the
blower operates an additional 90 sec before reverting back
to continuous operation on heating speed.
4. Heat pump mode
When installed with a heat pump, the furnace control
automatically changes the timing sequence to avoid long
blower off time during demand defrost cycles. When the
W-Y or W-Y-G thermostat inputs are received at the same
time, the control changes the blower to heating speed or
starts the blower if it was off, and begins a heating cycle.
The blower remains on until the end of the prepurge period,
then shuts off until the end of the ignition warm-up and trial
for ignition periods (a total of 24 sec). The blower then
comes back on at heating speed.
When the W input signal disappears, the control begins the
normal inducer post-purge period and the blower changes to
cooling speed after a 1-sec delay. If the W-Y-G signals
disappear at the same time, the blower remains on for the
selected heating blower off delay period and the inducer
goes through its normal post-purge period. If the W-Y
inputs should disappear, leaving the G signal input, the
control goes into continuous blower and the inducer remains on for the normal post-purge period.
Anytime the control senses false flame, the control locks
out of the heating mode. This occurs because the control
cannot sense the W input due to the false flame signal, and
as a result, sees only the Y input and goes into cooling mode
blower off delay. All other control functions remain in
standard format.
NOTE: EAC-1 terminal is energized whenever blower operates.
HUM terminal is only energized when gas valve is energized.

III. START-UP PROCEDURES
1. Purge gas lines—After all connections have been made,
purge the lines and check for leaks.
WARNING: Never purge a line into a combustion
chamber. Never use matches, candles, flame, or other
sources of ignition to check for gas leakage. Use a
soap-and-water solution to check for gas leaks. Failure to
follow this warning could result in fire, explosion, personal injury, or death.
2. Component test—The furnace control allows all components, except gas valve, to be run for a short period of time.
This feature helps diagnose a system problem in case of a
component failure. To initiate component test procedure,
short (jumper) the TEST 3/16-in. quick connect terminal on
control (adjacent to diagnostic light) and the C
OM-24V
terminal on furnace thermostat connection block for approximately 2 sec. (See Fig. 14.)
NOTE: Component test feature will not operate if any thermostat
signal is present at control.
Component test sequence is as follows.
a. Momentarily jumper TEST and C
OM-24V terminals until
LED goes off.
b. LED will display previous status code 4 times.
c. Inducer motor starts and continues to run for entire
component test.
d. Hot surface igniter is energized for 15 sec, then de-
energized.
e. Blower motor operates on cooling speed for 10 sec, then
stops.
f. Blower motor operates on heating speed for 10 sec, then
stops.
g. Inducer motor stops.
3. To operate furnace, follow procedures on operating instruction label attached to furnace.
4. With furnace operating, set thermostat below room temperature and observe that furnace goes off. Set thermostat
above room temperature and observe that furnace restarts.
IV. ADJUSTMENTS
1. Set gas input rate
Furnace gas input rate on rating plate is for installations at
altitudes up to 2000 ft. Furnace input rate must be within ±2
percent of input on furnace rating plate.
a. Determine natural gas orifice size and manifold pressure
for correct input.
(1.) Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed
altitude) from local gas supplier.
(2.) Obtain average yearly gas specific gravity from
local gas supplier.
(3.) Verify furnace model. Table 7 can only be used for
model 376CAV Furnaces.
(4.) Find installation altitude in Table 7.
NOTE: For Canada altitudes of 2000 to 4500 ft, use U.S.A.
altitudes of 2001 to 3000 ft in Table 7.
(5.) Find closest natural gas heat value and specific
gravity in Table 7.
(6.) Follow heat value and specific gravity lines to point
of intersection to find orifice size and manifold
pressure settings for proper operation.
EXAMPLE: (0–2000 ft altitude)
Heating value = 1025 Btu/cu ft
Specific gravity = 0.62
Therefore: Orifice No. 43*
Manifold pressure 3.6-in. wc
* Furnace is shipped with No. 43 orifices. In this example
all main burner orifices are the correct size and do not need
to be changed to obtain proper input rate.
(7.) Check and verify burner orifice size in furnace.
NEVER ASSUME ORIFICE SIZE. ALWAYS
CHECK AND VERIFY.
NOTE: If orifice hole appears damaged or it is suspected to have
been redrilled, check orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of
correct size. Never redrill an orifice. A burr-free and squarely
aligned orifice hole is essential for proper flame characteristics.
BURNER
ORIFICE
A93059
CAUTION: DO NOT redrill orifices. Improper drilling
(burrs, out-of-round holes, etc.) can cause excessive
burner noise and misdirection of burner flames. This can
result in flame impingement of burners and heat exchangers causing failures.
b. Adjust manifold pressure to obtain input rate.
(1.) Remove regulator adjustment seal cap. (See Fig.
17.)
(2.) Turn adjusting screw, counterclockwise (out) to
decrease manifold pressure or clockwise (in) to
increase manifold pressure.
NOTE: This furnace has been approved for a manifold pressure
of 3.2-in. wc to 3.8-in. wc when installed at altitudes up to 2000 ft.
For altitudes above 2000 ft, the manifold pressure can be adjusted
from 2.0-in. wc to 3.8-in. wc.
CAUTION: DO NOT bottom out gas valve regulator
adjusting screw. This can result in unregulated manifold
pressure and result in excess overfire and heat exchanger
failures.
(3.) After correct manifold pressure is obtained, replace
gas valve regulator adjustment screw cap and verify
adjusted gas input rate using method outlined in
item c.

UNITED STATES
At installation altitudes above 2000 ft, this furnace has been
approved for a 4 percent derate for each 1000 ft above sea level.
See Table 8 for derate multiplier factor.
* Derate multiplier factor is based on midpoint altitude for altitude range.

CANADA
At installation altitudes from 2000 to 4500 ft, this furnace must be
derated 10 percent by an authorized Gas Conversion Station. To
determine correct input rate for altitude, see example above and
use 0.90 as derate multiplier factor.
a. Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots.
b. Start furnace and let operate for 3 minutes.
c. Measure time (in sec) for gas meter test dial to complete
1 revolution.
d. Refer to Table 9 for cu ft of gas per hr.
e. Multiply gas rate (cu ft/hr) X heating value (Btu/cu ft)
using natural gas heating value from local gas
utility/supplier.
EXAMPLE: (0–2000 ft altitude)
Btu heating input = Btu/cu ft X cu ft/hr
Heating value of gas = 1050 Btu/cu ft
Time for 1 revolution of 2-cu ft dial = 82 sec
Gas rate = 88 cu ft/hr (from Table 9)
Btu heating input = 88 X 1050 = 92,400 Btuh
In this example, the orifice size and manifold pressure
adjustment is within ±2 percent of the furnace input rate.
d. To change blower motor speed selections for heating
mode, remove blower motor lead from control board
HEAT terminal. (See Fig. 14.) Select desired blower
motor speed lead from 1 of the other terminals and
relocate it to HEAT terminal. See Table 10 for lead color
identification. Reconnect original lead on SPARE terminal.
Follow this same procedure for proper selection of COOL speed
selection.
2. Set temperature rise.
Furnace must operate within range of temperature rise
specified on the unit rating plate. Determine the air temperature rise as follows.
a. Place duct thermometers in return and supply ducts as
near furnace as possible. Be sure thermometers do not
“see” heat exchangers so that radiant heat will not affect
thermometer readings. This is particularly important
with straight-run ducts.
b. When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract return-air
temperature from supply-air temperature to determine
temperature rise.
c. Adjust air temperature rise by adjusting blower speed.
Increase blower speed to reduce temperature rise. Decrease blower speed to increase temperature rise.
WARNING: Disconnect the electrical power before
changing the speed tap. A failure to follow this warning
could result in personal injury.
CAUTION: If Model 376CAV066115 is installed in
0.50-in. wc or lower static pressure ductwork, evaporator
coil condensate blow off can occur during cooling operation. When installed in this manner, do not use high
blower speed tap for cooling.

CAUTION: Recheck temperature rise. It must be within
limits specified on unit rating plate. Recommended operation is at midpoint of rise or above.
3. Set thermostat heat anticipator.
The thermostat heat anticipator must be set to match the
amp draw of the electrical components in the R-W circuit.
Accurate amp draw readings can be obtained at thermostat
subbase terminals R and W. Fig. 19 illustrates an easy
method of obtaining the actual amp draw. The amp reading
should be taken after the blower motor has started. See the
thermostat manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the
heat anticipator and for varying the heating cycle length.
NOTE: When using an electronic thermostat, set cycle rate for 3
cycles per hr.
V. CHECK SAFETY CONTROLS
The flame sensor, gas valve, and pressure switch were all checked
in the Start-Up Procedures section as part of normal operation.
1. Check primary limit control.
This control shuts off the combustion control system and
energizes the circulating-air blower motor if the furnace
overheats.
The preferred method of checking the limit control is to
gradually block off the return air after the furnace has been
operating for a period of at least 5 minutes. As soon as the
limit has shut off the burners, the return-air opening should
be unblocked. By using this method to check the limit
control, it can be established that the limit is functioning
properly and operates if there is a motor failure.
2. Check blocked vent safeguard switch.
The purpose of this control is to permit the safe shutdown
of the furnace during certain blocked vent conditions.
a. Disconnect power to furnace and remove vent connector
from furnace outlet collar. Be sure to allow time for vent
pipe to cool down before removing.
