CAUTION
FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit component
damage.
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. Multiple disconnects
may be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL
OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL
PRIORTODISCHARGINGYOURBODY’S
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch the 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 to
recharge your body with static electricity (for example; DONOT 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 a clean, unpainted metal
surface of the 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 4 before bringing the control or yourself in contact with the furnace. Put all used and
new controls into containers before touching ungrounded

CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE HAZARD
Improper use or installation of this furnace may result in
premature furnace component failure. This gas furnace may
be used for heating buildings under construction provided
that:
--The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical
wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed according to
these installation instructions. A return air duct is provided,
sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated outside the
space containing the furnace. This prevents a negative
pressure condition as created by the circulating air blower,
causing a flame rollout and/or drawing combustion
products into the structure.
--The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be
“hot wired” to provide heat continuously to the structure
without thermostatic control.
--Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to
minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and
other construction materials. It also prevents the
entrainment of drywall dust into combustion air, which can
cause fouling and plugging of furnace components.
--The temperature of the return air to the furnace is
maintained between 55_F(13_C) and 80_F(27_C), with
no evening setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace
while the structure is under construction is deemed to be
intermittent operation per our installation instructions.
--The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on
the furnace rating plate, and the gas input rate has been set
to the nameplate value.
--The filters used to clean the circulating air during the
construction process must be either changed or thoroughly
cleaned prior to occupancy.
--The furnace, ductwork and filters are cleaned as necessary
to remove drywall dust and construction debris from all
HVAC system components after construction is completed.
--Verify proper furnace operating conditions including
ignition, gas input rate, air temperature rise, and venting
according to these installation instructions.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
Introduction
Direct Vent (2--pipe) Applications
When the furnace is installed as a direct vent (2-pipe) furnace, no
special provisions for air for combustion are required. However,
other gas appliances installed in the space with the furnace may
require outside air for combustion. Follow the guidelines below to
insure that other gas appliances have sufficient air for combustion.
Ventilated Combustion Air Applications
When the furnace is installed using the ventilated combustion air
option, the attic or crawlspace must freely communicate with the
outdoor to provide sufficient air for combustion. The combustion
air pipe cannot be terminated in attics or crawlspaces that use
ventilation fans designed to operate during the heating season. If
ventilation fans are present in these areas, the combustion air pipe
must terminate outdoors as a Direct Vent/ 2-Pipe system.
All air for combustion is piped directly to the furnace from a space
that is well ventilated with outdoor air (such as an attic or crawl
space) and the space is well isolated from the living space or
garage. In addition, other gas appliances installed in the space with
the furnace may require outside air for combustion. Follow the
guidelines below to insure that the roof or crawlspace walls have
sufficient free area to provide sufficient air for combustion and
ventilation for the furnaces. The guidelines below can be used to
insure that other gas appliances have sufficient air for combustion.
Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air
must be provided in accordance with:
S U.S.A. Installations: Section 9.3 of the NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1--2009 , Air for Combustion and Ventilation and
applicable provisions of the local building codes.

CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTION
Upflow/Downflow Orientation
In the Upflow or Downflow orientation, the condensate trap is
inside the furnace casing. The condensate drain must be routed
from the trap through the furnace casing. The condensate drain can
be routed through the left or right side of the casing. (The left or
right side is as you are viewing the furnace.) The furnace
condensate drain can be connected to the Air Conditioning
condensate drain as shown in Fig. 12.
NOTE: On narrower casings, it may be easier to remove the
condensate trap, connect the drain line components and re-install
the condensate trap. Read the steps thoroughly to familiarize
yourself with the required steps.
For Right Side Condensate Drain:
1. Remove the 7/8--in. knock--out from the right side of the
casing. (See Fig. 11 .)
2. Remove the pre--formed drain tube and two spring clamps
from the loose parts bag.
987MA
3. Slide a spring clamp 1 inch (25 mm) down the plain end of
the drain tube.
4. From inside the casing, insert the formed grommet end of
the tube through the 7/8--in. knockout in the casing.
5. Pull the tube through the casing from the outside until it is
seated in the knockout
6. Attach the plain end of the drain tube to the outlet stub on
the drain trap. Secure the drain tube to the trap with the
spring clamp.
7. Slide a spring clamp over the open end of the drain tube
outside the casing.
8. Open the spring clamp and connect a field--supplied 1/2--in.
CPVC street elbow to the open end of the drain tube. (See
Fig. 13.)
9. Connect additional 1/2--in. CPVC piping to a condensate
pump approved for use with acidic furnace condensate or to
a code--approved drain.
For Left Side Condensate Drain Connection:
1. For left side condensate drainage, the drain line is routed
from the condensate trap, behind the inducer and out
through the left side of the casing. A pre-formed “Z” pipe is
provided in the loose parts bag shipped with the furnace.
The “Z” pipe is long enough to extend out of the casing on
the 14 3/16-in. (360 mm) wide furnace. Larger casings will
require a field supplied CPVC pipe and to extend the drain
line out of the furnace.
2. The “Z” pipe is connected to the condensate trap by
modifying the formed rubber drain tube. Connect the drain
line as shown below:
3. Remove the knock-out from the left side of the casing. (See
Fig. 11.)
4. Install the grommet for the 1/2-in. CPVC drain line in the
7/8-in. knockout in the casing.
5. Remove the pre-formed drain tube, the offset 1/2-in. CPVC
pipe and two spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
6. Remove the formed grommet on the tube by cutting the
tube along the vertical line located about 1 inch (25 mm)
away from the formed grommet.(See Fig. 14.)
7. Slide a spring clamp 1 inch (25 mm) down the plain end of
the drain tube.
8. With the bend in the tube oriented horizontally and plain
end of the tube pointing away from you, insert the 1/2-in.
CPVC pipe into the other end of the drain tube. Rotate the
tube so the offset in the tube points away from you. Slide a
spring clamp over the open end of the 1/2-in. CPVC tube
and secure the cut end of drain tube to the pipe. (See Fig.
15)
9. Prime the bare end of the pipe with CPVC primer.
10. Route the offset pipe behind the inducer assembly and
through the grommet in the casing, if the “Z” pipe is long
enough. If the “Z” pipe is not long enough, continue with
installation.
11. Attach the plain end of the drain tube to the outlet stub on
the drain trap. Secure the drain tube to the trap with the
spring clamp.
12. If the “Z” pipe does not extend through the casing, slide a
piece of field supplied CPVC through the grommet in the
casing, otherwise, go to Step 17.
13. Cement a 1/2-in. CPVC coupling to the end of the CPVC
pipe.
14. Apply cement to the end of the “Z” pipe connected to the
condensate trap.
15. Connect the field-supplied CPVC pipe to the CPVC pipe
connected to the condensate trap.
16. Cut off excess CPVC pipe outside the casing.
17. Connect additional 1/2-in. CPVC piping to a condensate
pump approved for use with acidic furnace condensate or to
a code-approved drain.
18. When a condensate pump is not used, slope the pipe away
from the furnace to allow for proper drainage.
Horizontal Orientation
1. In the Horizontal orientation, a field supplied accessory
drain trap grommet is required to seal the gap between the
casing and the condensate trap for direct vent applications,
only. The condensate trap outlet extends 2 in. (51 mm)
below the furnace casing. To allow for servicing the trap,
the condensate drain tube in the loose parts bag can be
modified to make a coupler to allow for future service of the
condensate trap and drain line.
2. Remove the knock-out for the condensate trap in the side of
the casing.
3. Install the drain trap grommet in the casing. (For direct vent
applications.) If necessary, remove the trap, install the
grommet and re-install the trap.
4. Remove the pre-formed drain tube, the offset 1/2-in. CPVC
pipe and two spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
5. Remove the formed grommet on the tube to create an elbow
or straight connector. (See Fig. 14.)
6. Connect the cut tube to the outlet of the condensate trap
with 1 spring clamp.
7. Slide the other spring clamp down the plain end of the drain
tube.
8. Connect additional 1/2-in. CPVC piping to the open end of
the tube.
9. Slide the spring clamp down over the 1/2-in. CPVC pipe
10. Connect additional 1/2-in. CPVC piping to a condensate
pump approved for use with acidic furnace condensate or to

AIR DUCTS
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 The Air Systems DesignGuidelines reference tables available from your local distributor.
The duct system should be sized to handle the required system
design CFM at the design external static pressure. The furnace
airflow rates are provided in Table 7--Air Delivery--CFM (With
Filter). When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the
furnace, the return air shall also be handled by 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.
987MA
NOTE: 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. (25 mm) clearance from combustible materials to
supply air ductwork for a distance of 36--in. (914 mm) horizontally
from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or local code for further
requirements.
Ductwork Acoustical Treatment
NOTE: Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow
and 10 ft. (3 M) 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.
NOTE: For horizontal applications, the top most flange may be
bent past 90_to allow the evaporator coil to hang on the flange
temporarily while the remaining attachment and sealing of the coil
are performed.

INPUT
BTUH
Table 7 – Air Delivery -- CFM (With Filter)
(SW1-5 and SW4-3 set to OFF, except as indicated. See Notes 1 and 2.)
1. Nominal 350 CFM/ton cooling airflow is delivered with SW1-5 and SW4-2 set to OFF.
Set SW1-5 to ON for nominal 400 CFM/ton (+15% airflow).
Set SW4-3 to ON for nominal 325 CFM/ton (-7% airflow).
Set both SW1-5 and SW4-3 to ON for nominal 370 CFM/ton (+7% airflow).
2. Maximum cooling airflow is achieved when switches SW3-1, SW3-2, SW3-3 and SW1-5 are set to ON, and SW4-3 is set to OFF.
3. All heating CFM's are when minimum/intermediate heat rise adjustment switch (SW1-3) and comfort/efficiency adjustment switch (SW1-4) are both set to OFF.
4. Ductwork must be sized for maximum-heating CFM within the operational range of E.S.P. Operation within the blank areas of the chart is not recommended
because maximum-heat operation will be above 1.0 E.S.P.
5. All airflows on 21" (533 mm) casing size furnaces are 5% less on side return only installations.
6. Side returns for 24.5" (622 mm) casing sizes require two sides, or side and bottom, to allow sufficient airflow at the return of the furnace.

24--V Wiring
Make field 24--v connections at the 24--v terminal strip. (See Fig.
34.) Connect terminal Y/Y2 as shown in Fig. 33 for proper
cooling operation. Use only AWG No. 18, color--coded, copper
thermostat wire.
NOTE: Use AWG No. 18 color-coded copper thermostat wire for
lengths up to 100 ft. (30.5 M). For wire lengths over 100 ft., use
AWG No. 16 wire.
The 24--v circuit contains an automotive--type, 3--amp. fuse located
on the control. 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. See Fig. 34.
Thermostats
For best results, use a communicating wall control to control this
modulating furnace. A single stage or two--stage heating and
cooling thermostat can be used with the furnace. The furnace
control board CPU will control the furnace and outdoor unit
staging. A two stage heating and cooling thermostat can also be
used to control the staging. However, full modulating capability
will not be available when the furnace staging is controlled by the
thermostat. Furnace staging will be limited to Minimum and
Maximum inputs or Intermediate and Maximum inputs depending
on the configuration of set-up switches SW1-2 and SW4-2. For
two stage thermostat control of a 2-stage outdoor unit, remove the
ACRDJ jumper from the furnace control board. Refer to typical
thermostat wiring diagrams and the Sequence of Operation section
for additional details. Consult the thermostat installation
instructions for specific information about configuring the
thermostat. See Fig. 34 and 35.

WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into operation
could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into operation,
while all other appliances connected to the venting system are
not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1--2009 and these
instructions. In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA-B149.1--2010. Determine that there is no blockage or
restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies,
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which the
appliance(s) connected to the venting system are
located and other spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not
connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust
fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so
they are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate
a summer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance
being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat
so appliance is operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances
at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of
main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or
candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the venting system must be corrected in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA
54/ANSI Z223.1--2009. In Canada, refer to CAN/
CSA--B149.1--2010.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance
connected to the venting system properly vents when
tested as outlined above, return doors, windows,
exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other
gas--fired burning appliance to their previous
conditions of use.
General
If this furnace replaces a furnace that was connected to a vent
system or chimney, the vent or vent connectors of other remaining
appliances may need to be re--sized. Vent systems or vent
connectors of other appliances must be sized to the minimum size
as determined using appropriate table found in the current edition
of National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z--223.1. In Canada,
refer to CAN/CSA--B149.1.
An abandoned masonry chimney may be used as a raceway for
properly insulated and supported combustion--air (when
applicable) and vent pipes. Each furnace must have its own set of
combustion--air and vent pipes and be terminated individually, as
shown in Fig. 46 for Direct Vent (2--Pipe) system or Fig. 47 for
ventilated combustion air option.
38
Page 39
A furnace shall not be connected to a chimney flue serving a
separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.
Other gas appliances with their own venting system may also use
the abandoned chimney as a raceway providing it is permitted by
local code, the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code and
the vent or liner manufacturer’s installation instructions. Care must
be taken to prevent the exhaust gases from one appliance from
contaminating the combustion air of other gas appliances.
Do not take combustion air from inside the chimney when using
ventilated combustion air or single pipe vent option.
These furnaces can be vented as either direct vent furnace or as
ventilated combustion air system. Each type of venting system is
described below. Common venting between furnaces or other
appliances prohibited.
Materials
U.S.A.
Combustion air and vent pipe, fittings, primers, and solvents must
conform to American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
standards and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
standards. See Table 11 for approved materials for use in the
U.S.A.

Direct Vent / 2-Pipe System
In a direct-vent (2-pipe) system, all air for combustion is taken
directly from outdoor atmosphere, and all flue products are
discharged to outdoor atmosphere. Combustion-air and vent pipes
must terminate together in the same atmospheric pressure zone,
either through the roof or a sidewall (roof termination preferred). A
factory accessory vent termination kit MUST be used in a direct
vent (2-pipe) system. See Fig. 44 for required clearances.
Ventilated Combustion Air Systems
In a ventilated combustion air option, the vent terminates and
discharges the flue products directly to the outdoors similar to a
direct vent system. See Fig. 45 for required clearances.
All air for combustion is piped directly to the furnace from a space
that is well ventilated with outdoor air (such as an attic or crawl
space) and the space is well isolated from the living space or
garage. Combustion air requirements for this option are the same as
the requirements for providing outside air for combustion for a
single pipe vent system. Refer to the “Air For Combustion and
Ventilation Section.
Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air
must be provided in accordance with:

Locating the Vent Termination
General
NOTE:Termination Requirements for the Provinces of
Alberta and Saskatchewan are located at the end of this
section.
Combustion--air (direct vent/2--pipe system only) and vent pipe
must terminate outside structure, either through sidewall or roof.
For vent termination clearance, refer to Fig. 44 for Direct
Vent/2--Pipe system and Fig. 45 for Non--direct Vent/1--Pipe
system. For exterior termination arrangements, refer to Fig. 46 for
Direct Vent/2--Pipe system and Fig. 47 for Non-- Direct/1--Pipe
system.
Roof termination is preferred since it is less susceptible to damage
or contamination, and it has less visible vent vapors. Sidewall
terminations require sealing or shielding of building surfaces with a
corrosive resistance material due to corrosive combustion products
of vent system.
NOTE: (Direct Vent/2--Pipe system ONLY) A factory accessory
termination kit MUST be used. See Table 10 for availableoptions.
When determining appropriate location for termination, consider
the following guidelines:
1. Comply with all clearance requirements stated in Fig. 44 or
Fig. 45 per application.
2. Termination or termination kit should be positioned where
vent vapors will not damage plants/shrubs or air conditioning equipment.
3. Termination or termination kit should be positioned so that
it will not be affected by wind eddy, such as inside building
corners, nor by recirculation of flue gases, airborne leaves,
or light snow.
4. Termination ortermination kit should be positioned where it
will not be damaged by or subjected to foreign objects such
as stones, balls, etc.
5. Termination or termination kit should be positioned where
vent vapors are not objectionable.
Direct Vent / 2-Pipe System
Direct vent (2--pipe) vent and combustion air pipes must terminate
outside the structure. Follow all clearances as shown Fig. 44.
Allowable vent and combustion air terminations are shown in Fig.
46.
Ventilated Combustion Air
The vent pipe for a Ventilated Combustion Air System must
terminate outdoors. Follow all vent termination clearances shown
in Fig. 45. Allowable vent terminations are shown in Fig. 47. The
combustion air pipe terminates in a well--ventilated attic or crawl
space. Follow the clearances as shown in Fig. 49. When the
furnace is installed in a well ventilated attic or crawlspace, install
the combustion air pipe as shown in Fig. .43
The combustion air pipe cannot terminate in attics or crawl spaces
that use ventilation fans designed to operate in the heating season.
If ventilation fans are present in these areas, the combustion air
pipe must terminate outdoors as a Direct Vent System.
Termination Requirements for the Provinces of Alberta and
Saskatchewan
The Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan require a minimum
unobstructed distance of 4 ft. (1.2 M) from the foundation to the
property line of the adjacent lot for vent termination of any
appliance with an input over 35,000 btuh. If there is less than 4 ft.
987MA
39
Page 40
(1.2 M) of unobstructed distance to the property line of the
adjacent lot, no type of vent termination is permitted for appliances
with inputs greater than 35,000 btuh.
There are no additional restrictions on unobstructed distances
greater than 8 ft. (2.4 M). All single, two-pipe and concentric vents
may be used, providing all other Code and manufacturer’s
requirements in these instructions are adhered to. Refer to the
appropriate Vent Termination section above for locating the vent
termination
If the unobstructed distance from the foundation to the property
line of the adjacent lot is no less than 4 ft. (1.2 M) and no greater
than 8 ft. (2.4 M), it will be necessary to re-direct the flue gas
plume. In this situation, a concentric vent kit cannot be used. A
2-pipe termination (or single pipe termination when permitted) that
re-directs the flue gas away by use of an elbow or tee, certified to
ULC S636 from the adjacent property line must be used. See Fig.
48.
The concentric vent kit currently cannot be modified to attach an
elbow to the vent portion of the rain cap. A tee attached to the rain
cap could potentially direct the flue gas plume toward the intake air
987MA
stream and contaminate the incoming combustion air for the
furnace.
Refer to Fig. 48 for terminations approved for use in Alberta and
Saskatchewan.
Size the Vent and Combustion Air Pipes
General
Furnace combustion air and vent pipe connections are sized for
2-in. (51 mm) pipe. Any pipe diameter change should be made
outside furnace casing in vertical pipe. Any change is diameter to
the pipe must be made as close to the furnace as reasonably
possible.
The Maximum Vent Length for the vent and combustion air pipe
(when used) is determined from the Maximum Equivalent Vent
Length in Table 13 or 15, minus the number of fittings multiplied
by the deduction for each type of fitting used from Table 14.
The measured length of pipe used in a single or 2--pipe termination
is included in the total vent length. Include a deduction for a Tee
when used for Alberta and Saskatchewan terminations. Concentric
vent terminations, pipe lengths or elbows do not require a
deduction from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length.
1. Measure the individual distance from the furnace to the termination for each pipe.
2. Select a Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL) longer
than the measured distance of the individual vent and combustion air connections to the vent termination.
3. Count the number of elbows for each pipe.
4. For each pipe, multiply the number of elbows by the equivalent length for the type of elbow used. Record the equivalent length of all the elbows for each pipe.
5. If a Tee is used on the termination, record the equivalent
length of the Tee used.
6. Record the equivalent length of the termination to be used.
7. Subtract the equivalent lengths of the fittings and terminations from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length.
8. If the Maximum Vent Length calculated is longer than the
individual measured length of the vent pipe and combustion
air pipe, then the diameter of pipe selected may be used.
9. If the Maximum Vent Length calculated is shorter than the
individual measured length of either the vent pipe or the
combustion air pipe, recalculate the Maximum Vent Length
using the next larger diameter pipe.
NOTE: The vent pipe and combustion air pipe must be the same
diameter.
NOTE: If the Maximum Vent Length for diameter of the pipe
selected is longer than the measured length and the equivalent
length of all the fitting and terminations, recalculate using the next
smaller diameter. If the recalculated Maximum Vent Length is
longer than the measured length of the vent pipe and combustion
air pipe, then that diameter of pipe selected may be used.
When installing vent systems of short pipe lengths, use the smallest
allowable pipe diameter. Do not use pipe size greater than required
or incomplete combustion, flame disturbance, or flame sense
lockout may occur.
Combustion Air and Vent Piping Insulation
Guidelines
NOTE: Use closed cell, neoprene insulation or equivalent.
The vent pipe may pass through unconditioned areas. The amount
of exposed pipe allowed is shown in Table 12.
1. Using winter design temperature (used in load calculations),
find appropriate temperature for your application and furnace model.
2. Determine the amount of total and exposed vent pipe.
3. Determine required insulation thickness for exposed pipe
length(s).
4. When combustion air inlet piping is installed above a suspended ceiling, the pipe MUST be insulated with moisture
resistant insulation such as Armaflex or other equivalent
type of insulation.
5. Insulate combustion air inlet piping when run in warm, humid spaces.
6. Install the insulation per the insulation manufacturer’s installation instructions.
NOTE: Pipe length (ft. / M) specified for maximum pipe lengths
located in unconditioned spaces cannot exceed total allowable pipe
length as calculated from Table 13 or 15.

injury or death.
To route the vent pipe and combustion air pipe through the
furnace, the manufacturer supplied kit must be used. Failure
to properly seal the blower compartment from the furnace
vestibule could result in the circulation of carbon monoxide
throughout the structure. The vent pipe and combustion air
pipe must be a continuous pipe while passing through the
blower compartment. Seals supplied in this kit must be
installed per the instructions provided. Follow all
procedures outlined in these instructions.
Install the Vent and Combustion Air Pipe
With the furnace installed in the required position, remove the
desired knockouts from the casing. It will be necessary to remove
one knockout for the vent pipe and the other knockout for the
combustion air connection. (See Fig. 11.)
Use a flat blade screwdriver and tap on the knockout on opposite
sides, where the knockout meets the casing. Fold the knockout
down with duct pliers and work the knockout back and forth until
it is removed. Trim any excess metal from the knockout with tin
snips.
The vent elbow can be rotated to the required location on the
casing if necessary. See Fig. 37. To rotate the vent elbow:
1. Loosen the clamp on the inlet of the vent elbow attached to
the inducer.
40
Page 41
2. Rotate the vent elbow to the required position. There are
rounded notches in the vent elbow to align it with the
inducer housing for each orientation.
3. Tighten the clamp around the vent elbow. Torque the clamp
to 15 lb--in. See Fig. 38--41.

WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
To route the vent pipe and combustion air pipe through the
furnace, the manufacturer supplied kit must be used. Failure
to properly seal the blower compartment from the furnace
vestibule could result in the circulation of carbon monoxide
throughout the structure. The vent pipe and combustion air
pipe must be a continuous pipe while passing through the
blower compartment. Seals supplied in this kit must be
installed per the instructions provided. Follow all
procedures outlined in these instructions.
NOTE: The rubber coupling that attaches to the vent pipe adapter
must be used. The adapter seals the vent pipe to the casing and
reduces the strain on the vent elbow attached to the inducer.
1. Apply the gaskets to the vent pipe and combustion air pipe
adapters. See Fig. 36.
NOTE: The vent pipe adapter and the combustion air pipe adapter
have the same ID however, the combustion air pipe adapter has a
pipe stop at the end.
2. Align the screw holes in the plastic vent pipe adapter with
the dimples in the casing.
3. Pilot drill the screw holes for the adapter in the casing and
attach the vent pipe adapter to the furnace with sheet metal
screws
4. Slide the end of the rubber vent coupling with notches in it
over the standoffs on the vent pipe adapter.
5. Insert a length of vent pipe through the coupling into the
outlet of the vent elbow.
6. Tighten the clamp around the outlet of the vent elbow.
Torque the clamp to 15 lb--in.
Install the remaining vent and combustion air pipes as shown
below. It is recommended that all pipes be cut, prepared, and
preassembled before permanently cementing any joint.
1. Working from furnace to outside, cut pipe to required
length(s).
2. Deburr inside and outside of pipe.
3. Chamfer outside edge of pipe for better distribution of
primer and cement.

layer of cement primer to pipe fitting socket and end of pipe
to insertion mark. Quickly apply approved cement to end of
pipe and fitting socket (over primer). Apply cement in a
light, uniform coat on inside of socket to prevent buildup of
excess cement. Apply second coat.
13. While cement is still wet, twist pipe into socket with 1/4--in.
turn. Be sure pipe is fully inserted into fitting socket.
14. Wipe excess cement from joint. A continuous bead of cement will be visible around perimeter of a properly made
joint.
15. Handle pipe joints carefully until cement sets.
16. Horizontal portions of the venting system shall be supported to prevent sagging. Support combustion air piping and
vent piping a minimum of every 5 ft. (1.5M)[3 ft. (.91M)
for SDR--21 or --26 PVC] using perforated metal hanging
strap or commercially available hangars designed to support
plastic pipe.
17. Prevent condensate from accumulating in the pipes by sloping the combustion air piping and vent piping downward
towards furnace a minimum of 1/4-in. per linear ft. with no
sags between hangers.
18. Complete the vent and combustion air pipe installation by
connecting the concentric vent or by installing the required
termination elbows as shown in Fig. 46, 47 and 48.
For Ventilated Combustion Air Termination, See Fig. 49
19. Use appropriate methods to seal openings where combustion air pipe and vent pipe pass through roof or sidewall.
Optional Installation of the Vent Pipe
This option provides a disconnect point for the vent pipe. The vent
pipe must be cemented to the plastic vent pipe adapter to maintain
a sealed vestibule. See Fig. 42.
1. Insert a length of vent pipe through the casing into the
outlet of the vent elbow.
2. Slide the plastic vent pipe adapter over the length of the
vent pipe down to the furnace casing. Mark the pipe where
it is flush with the outlet of the adapter.

Venting System Length Calculations
The maximum length for each vent pipe (inlet or exhaust) equals the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL) from Table 13 or Table 15
minus the number of elbows multiplied by the deduction for each elbow in Table 14.
Standard vent terminations and concentric vent terminations count for zero deductions.
Example
A direct--vent 60,000 Btuh furnace installed at 2100 ft. (640 m) with 2--in.(51 mm) Vent piping. Venting system includes, FOR EACH
PIPE, (3) 90_ long radius elbows, (2) 45_ long radius elbows and a concentric vent kit.
Maximum Equivalent Vent Length=127 ft.(From Table 13)
Deduct (3) 90 long radius3x3 ft.=- 9 ft.(From Table 14)
Deduct (2) 45 long radius2x1.5 ft.=- 3 ft.(From Table 14)
Maximum Vent Length=115 ft.For EACH vent or inlet pipe

CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit
operation or performance satisfaction.
These furnaces are equipped with a manual reset limit
switch in burner assembly. This switch opens and shuts off
power to the gas valve is an overheat condition (flame
rollout) occurs in burner assembly. Correct inadequate
combustion--air supply or improper venting condition
before resetting switch. DO NOT jumper this switch.
Before operating furnace, check flame rollout manual reset switch
for continuity. If necessary, press button to reset switch.
EAC-1 terminal is energized whenever blower operates. HUM
terminal is only energized when blower is energized in heating.
Select Setup Switch Positions
There are 4 sets of setup switches on the furnace control board.
These switches configure the furnace for correct application
requirement. They also select the airflow settings for Air
Conditioning and Continuous Fan CFMs.
The Setup Switch locations are shown and described on Fig. 54.
The set up switches are also shown on the unit wiring label.
Setup Switches (SW1)
The furnace control has 8 setup switches that may be set to meet
the application requirements. To set these setup switches for the
appropriate requirement:
S Remove blower door.
S Locate setup switches on furnace control.
S Configure the set-up switches as necessary for the application.
S Replace blower door.
NOTE: If a bypass humidifier is used, setup switch SW1-3
(Min/Int Rise Adjust) should be in ON position. This compensates
for the increased temperature in return air resulting from bypass.
NOTE:If modulating dampers are used, blower motor
automatically compensates for modulating dampers.
Air Conditioning (A/C) Setup Switches (SW2)
The air conditioning setup switches are used to match furnace
airflow to cooling unit used.
To set the desired cooling airflow:
1. Remove blower door.
2. Locate A/C setup switches on furnace control.
3. Determine air conditioning tonnage used.
4. Configure the switches for the required cooling airflow.
NOTE: Excessive airflow caused by improper A/C switch setup
may cause condensate blow-off in cooling mode.
5. Replace blower door.
Continuous Fan (CF) Setup Switches (SW3)
The CF setup switches are used to select desired airflow when
thermostat is in continuous fan mode or to select low-cooling
airflow for two-speed cooling units. This setup feature allows
continuous fan airflow or low-cooling airflow to be adjusted. To
set desired continuous fan airflow or low-cooling airflow:
1. Remove blower door.
2. Locate CF setup switches on furnace control.
3. Determine desired continuous fan airflow or low-cooling
airflow.
4. Configure the switches for the required continuous fan or
low--cooling airflow.
5. Replace blower door.
Additional Setup Switches (SW4)
The furnace control has 3 additional setup switches labeled SW4.
Setup switch SW4-2 can be used to lock the furnace into
intermediate heat. When setup switch SW4-2 is ON it will over
ride setup switch SW1-2 if it is ON SW4--3 is used to adjust
airflow. See communicating control instructions for use of SW4--1.
To activate setup switch SW4-2 and SW4--3:
1. Remove blower door.
2. Locate setup switch SW4 on furnace control.
3. Configure the switches for the required heat stages and
airflow if necessary.
4. Replace blower door.

!
CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit
operation or performance satisfaction.
Condensate trap must be PRIMED or proper draining may
not occur. The condensate trap has two internal chambers
which can ONLY be primed by pouring water into the
inducer drain side of condensate trap.
1. Remove upper and middle collector box drain plugs opposite of the condensate trap. (See Fig. 57.)
2. Connect field-supplied 1/2-in. (13 mm) OD tube to upper
collector box drain connection.
3. Insert field-supplied funnel into tube.
4. Pour one quart of water into funnel/tube. Water should run
through collector box, overfill condensate trap, and flow into open field drain.
6. Connect field-supplied 1/2-in. (13 mm) OD tube to middle
collector box drain port.
7. Pour one quart of water into funnel/tube. Water should run
through collector box, overfill condensate trap, and flow into open field drain.

been made and check for leaks.
!
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, and/or property damage.
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never
test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially

FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace
life.
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 heat exchangers, causing failures. (See Fig.
51.)
For proper operation and long term reliability, the Furnace input
rate must be within +2 percent of input rate on furnace rating plate.
The gas input rate on rating plate is for installations at altitudes up
to 2000 ft. (609.6M).
In the USA., the input rating for altitudes above 2000 ft. (609.6M)
must be reduced by 2 percent for each 1000 ft. (304.8M) above sea
level. Refer to Table 16.
In Canada, the input rating must be derated by 5 percent for
altitudes of 2000 ft. (609.6M) to 4500 ft. (1371.6M) above sea
level.
To adjust manifold pressure to obtain the proper input rate, first,
determine if the furnace has the correct orifice installed. At higher
altitudes or different gas heat contents, it may be necessary to
change the factory orifice to a different orifice. Tables have been
provided in the furnace installation instructions to match the
required orifice to the manifold pressure to the heat content and
specific gravity of the gas. To do this:
a. Obtain average heat value (at installed altitude) from local
b. Obtain average specific gravity from local gas supplier.
c. Find installation altitude range for your installation in the
d. Find closest natural gas heat value and specific gravity in
e. Follow heat value and specific gravity lines to point of
f. Check and verify burner orifice size in furnace. Never
NOTE: For Canadian altitudes of 2000 to 4500 ft. (609.6 to
1371.6M), use USA altitudes of 2001 to 3000 ft. (609.6 to
914.4M).

correct size. Never redrill an orifice. A burr--free and squarely
aligned orifice hole is essential for proper flame characteristics.
See Example 1.

EXAMPLE 1.
EXAMPLE 1
EXAMPLE: 0 -- 2000 ft. (0 -- 609.6M) altitude
Heating value = 1050 Btu/cu ft.
Specific gravity = 0.62
Therefore: Orifice No. 44
Manifold pressure: 3.4--in. w.c. for maximum heat, 0.55--in. w.c.
for minimum heat.
* Furnace is shipped with No. 44 orifices. In this example, all main
burner orifices are the correct size and do not need to be changed to
obtain proper input rate.
The inlet gas pressure must be checked with the furnace operating
in maximum heat. This is necessary to make sure the inlet gas
pressure does not fall below the minimum pressure of 4.5 in. w.c.
for natural gas. The maximum inlet gas pressure is 13.6 in. of water
column. If the inlet pressure is too low, you will not be able to
adjust the manifold pressure to obtain the proper input rate. To
check the inlet gas pressure:
1. Make sure the gas supply is turned off to the furnace and at
the electric switch on the gas valve.
2. Remove the 1/8 in. NPT plug from the inlet pressure tap on
the gas valve.
3. Connect a manometer to the inlet pressure tap on gas valve.
4. Turn on furnace power supply.
5. Turn gas supply manual shutoff valve to ON position.
6. Turn furnace gas valve switch to ON position.
7. Jumper the R to W/W1 and W2 thermostat connections at
the furnace control board.
8. When main burners ignite, confirm inlet gas pressure is
Between 4.5 in. w.c. and 13.6 in. w.c.
9. Remove jumper across thermostat connections to terminate
call for heat. Wait until the blower off delay is completed.
10. Turn furnace gas valve electric switch to OFF position.
11. Turn gas supply manual shutoff valve to OFF position.
12. Turn off furnace power supply.
13. Remove manometer from the inlet pressure tap of the gas
valve.
14. Apply pipe dope sparingly to end of inlet gas pipe plug and
re--install in the gas valve.
For proper operation and long term reliability, the manifold
pressure must be adjusted within +2 percent of input rate on
furnace rating plate.
The modulating furnace manifold pressure is set at two points. The
first point is Maximum Heat. The second point is Minimum Heat.
Do not adjust Intermediate Heat manifold pressure. Intermediate
Heat manifold pressure is checked as part of the temperature rise,
but is not adjustable. Always adjust Maximum Heat first, then
Minimum Heat.
NOTE: DO NOT set Maximum Heat manifold pressure less than
3.2--in. w.c. or more than 3.8 in. w.c. for natural gas.
To adjust manifold pressure to obtain input rate for Maximum
Heat:
1. Make sure the gas supply is turned off to the furnace and at
the electric switch on the gas valve.
2. Remove the 1/8 inch NPT plug from the outlet pressure tap
on the gas valve.
3. Connect a manometer to the outlet pressure tap on gas
valve.

CAUTION
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in overheating the
heat exchangers or condensing flue gases in heat exchanger
areas not designed for condensate.
Temperature rise must be within limits specified on unit
rating plate. Operation is within a few degrees of midpoint
ofriserangewhensetupswitchSW1--4isOFF.
Adjust Temperature Rise
When setup switch SW1-4 is ON, operation will be near the high
end of the rise range for improved comfort.
Furnace must operate within ranges of temperature rise specified
on the furnace rating plate. Determine air temperature rise as
follows:
1. Place thermometers in return and supply ducts as near
furnace as possible. Be sure thermometers do not see heat
exchanger so that radiant heat does not affect readings. This
practice is particularly important with straight-run ducts.
2. When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract return-air
temperature from supply-air temperature to determine air
temperature rise.
NOTE: Temperature rise can be determined for Minimum Heat,
Intermediate Heat and Maximum Heat operation by locking the
furnace in each mode of operation. The mode of operation is based
on the position of Set-up switch SW1-2 and SW4-2 on the furnace
control board.
The furnace is capable of automatically providing proper airflow to
maintain the temperature rise within the range specified on furnace
rating plate. If temperature rise is outside this range, proceed as
follows:
a. Check gas input for minimum, intermediate and maximum
heat operation.
b. Check derate for altitude if applicable.
c. Check all return and supply ducts for excessive restrictions
causing static pressure greater than 0.5-in. w.c.
d. Ensure Min/Int Rise Adjust switch SW1--3 on furnace
control is in ON position when a bypass humidifier is used.
(See Fig. 54 for switch location.)

2. Connect a jumper across R and W/W1 at the thermostat
terminals at the furnace control.
3. Allow the burners to ignite and the blower to turn on.
4. Allow the supply temperature to stabilize and verify the
proper rise range.
If the temperature rise is too high or too low in Minimum Heat:
1. Remove jumpers from R and W/W1.
2. Wait until the blower off delay is completed.
3. Turn 115 VAC power off.

Adjust Cooling Airflow -- Single Stage and High
Stage
Cooling
The ECM blower can be adjusted for a range of airflow for Low
Speed or High Speed cooling. See Table 7--Air Delivery -- CFM
(With Filter ). Depending on the model size, the cooling airflow
can be adjusted from 1.5 to 6 tons based on 350 CFM ton.
The cooling airflow is adjusted by turning Setup switches SW2--1,
SW2--2 and SW2--3 either ON or OFF. Select the required airflow
from Table 7. Table 7 is based on 350 CFM per ton. For other
CFM per ton setup switch selections. See Fig. 34 and Fig. 54 and
Fig.63.
NOTE: 6 ton airflow will truncate at 2200 CFM on applicable
models. For a complete explanation of cooling airflow, refer to the
section titled “Sequence of Operation.”
Adjust Continuous Fan Airflow/Low Speed
Cooling
The ECM blower motor can be adjusted for continuous fan speeds
different than heating or cooling fan speed. See Table 7 -- Air
Delivery -- CFM (With Filter). Select the required continuous fan
airflow from Fig. 54 and Table 7. Other airflow options are
available via SW4--3. See Table 7.
The continuous fan speed is also the fan speed for low speed
cooling when furnace is used with a 2--speed cooling unit. Adjust
the Continuous Fan CFM to match the airflow required for low
speed cooling. Select the required airflow from Fig. 54. For other
CFM per ton setup switch selections. (See Fig. 34 and Fig. 54.)
The airflow selected for low speed cooling will also be the airflow
used for continuous fan.
The continuous fan speed can be further adjusted at the thermostat
using the “Comfort Fan” select function. Changing the continuous
fan speed at the thermostat DOES NOT change the low speed
cooling airflow selected at the control board.

10. Turn power on at external disconnect, fuse or circuit breaker.
11. Run the furnace through two complete heating cycles to
check for proper operation
12. Install control door when complete.
Checking Heat Pad Operation (If Applicable)
In applications where the ambient temperature around the furnace
is 32_F or lower, freeze protection measures are required. If this
application is where heat tape has been applied, check to ensure it
will operate when low temperatures are present.
NOTE: The Heat Pad, when used, should be wrapped around the
condensate drain trap. There is no need to use heat tape within the
furnace casing. Most heat tapes are temperature activated, and it is
not practical to verify the actual heating of the tape. Check the
following:
1. Check for signs of physical damage to heat tape such as
nicks, cuts, abrasions, gnawing by animals, etc.
2. Check for discolored heat tape insulation. If any damage or
987MA
discolored insulation is evident, replace heat tape.
3. Check that heat tape power supply circuit is on.
Cleaning Heat Exchangers
The following items must be performed by a qualified service
technician.
Primary Heat Exchangers
If the heat exchangers get an accumulation of light dirt or dust on
the inside, they may be cleaned by the following procedure:
NOTE: If the heat exchangers get a heavy accumulation of soot
and carbon, both the primary and secondary heat exchangers
should be replaced rather than trying to clean them thoroughly due
to their intricate design. A build--up of soot and carbon indicates
that a problem exists which needs to be corrected, such as improper
adjustment of manifold pressure, insufficient or poor quality
combustion air, improper vent termination, incorrect size or
damaged manifold orifice(s), improper gas, or a restricted heat
exchanger (primary or secondary). Action must be taken to correct
the problem.
1. Turn off gas and electrical supplies to furnace.

disconnect switch. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable
warning label. Verify proper operation after servicing.
3. Disconnect wires or connectors to flame rollout switch, gas
valve, igniter, and flame sensor.
4. Using backup wrench, disconnect gas supply pipe from furnace gas control valve.
5. Remove two screws attaching top filler plate and rotate upwards to gain access to screws attaching burner assembly to
cell panel.
6. Remove screws attaching burner assembly to cell panel.
(See Fig. 61.)
NOTE: Burner cover, manifold, gas valve, and burner assembly
should be removed as one assembly.
7. Clean heat exchanger openings with a vacuum and a soft
brush. (See Fig. 58.)
NOTE: After cleaning, inspect the heat exchangers to ensure they
are free of all foreign objects that may restrict flow of combustion
products.
8. Reverse items 6 through 1 for reassembly.
9. Refer to furnace wiring diagram and reconnect wires to
flame rollout switch, gas valve, igniter, and flame sensor.
10. Turn on gas and electrical supplies to furnace.
11. Check furnace operation through 2 complete heat operating

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death, and/or property damage.
Turn off the gas and electrical supplies to the furnace and
install lockout tag before performing any maintenance or
service. Follow the operating instructions on the label
attached to the furnace.
2. Remove control door.
UNIT AND PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit component or
property damage.
If the furnace is installed in an unconditioned space where the
ambient temperatures may be 32_ F(0_ C) or lower, freeze
protection measures must be taken to prevent property or
product damage.
Since the furnace uses a condensing heat exchanger, some water
will accumulate in the unit as a result of the heat transfer process.
Therefore, once it has been operated, it cannot be turned off and
left off for an extended period of time when temperatures will
reach 32_F(0_C) or lower unless winterized. Follow these
procedures to winterize your furnace:

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
!
CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit
operation.
Furnace control must be grounded for proper operation or
control will lock out.Control is grounded through
green/yellow wire routed to gas valve and burner box
screw.
Using the schematic diagram (See Fig. 63), follow the sequence of
operation through the different modes. Read and follow the wiring
diagram very carefully!!
NOTE: If a power interruption occurs during a call for heat
(W/W1 or W/W1-and-W2), the control will start a 90-second
blower-only ON period two seconds after power is restored, if the
thermostat is still calling for gas heating. The amber LED light will
flash code 12 during the 90-second period, after which the LED
will be ON continuous, as long as no faults are detected. After the
90-second period, the furnace will respond to the thermostat
normally.
The blower door must be installed for power to be conducted
through the blower door interlock switch ILK to the furnace
control CPU, transformer TRAN, inducer motor IDM, blower
motor BLWM, hot surface igniter HSI, and gas valve GV.
Communicating Control and Modulating Heating
(Adaptive Mode)
Best comfort will be attained when a communicating wall control
is used with this product. Wiring and set--up instructions are
provided with the communicating control. See the furnace data
sheet accessory section for help in selecting the appropriate
communicating control for this furnace.
When a communicating control is used, the furnace will modulate
through its full operation range, or can be limited via the minimum
and maximum cfm configurations.
Operation of the furnace at the beginning and end of each heating
cycle will be the same as detailed below in the Single--Stage
Thermostat section EXCEPT that the communicating control will
send modulating rate command signals through the communication
bus rather than energizing the 24--v thermostat terminals. Note that
the R to W/W1 circuit signal will be controlled by the COMMR
relay on the furnace control. See the wiring diagram in Fig. 63 .
Single-Stage Thermostat and Modulating Heating
(Adaptive Mode)
See Fig. 34 and 35 for thermostat connections.
NOTE:Minimum-heat only switch SW1-2 selects the
minimum-heatonly operation mode when ON. Intermediate-heat
only switch SW4-2 selects intermediate-heat only operation
mode when ON. If both switches are ON the furnace control will
default to intermediate-heat. If either or both switches are ON, the
furnace control will operate at two-stages only as referenced in
Two Stage Thermostat section below. If both switches are OFF the
furnace control will operate in the adaptive heating mode in
response to a call for heat. (See Fig. 54.) When the W2 thermostat
terminal is energized it will always cause maximum-heat operation
as long as the R to W circuit is closed, regardless of the setting of
the minimum-heat or intermediate-heat only switches.
This furnace can operate as a modulating furnace with a
single-stage thermostat because the furnace control CPU includes a
programmed adaptive sequence of controlled operation, which
selects a modulated rate between minimum- and maximum-heat.
This selection is based upon the stored history of the length of
previous gas-heating periods of the single-stage thermostat.
The furnace will start up in either intermediate-, or maximum-heat.
The furnace will transition and operate at minimum-heat or the
calculated modulating rate after starting and operating for 45
seconds at intermediate-heat. The furnace control CPU defaults to
minimum-heat on the first thermostat cycle and calculates the
modulating rate that the furnace should run at for 19 minutes on
subsequent heat cycles.
If the power is interrupted, the stored modulating rate is erased and
the furnace control will select intermediate-heat for 45 seconds,
minimum-heat for 19 minutes and then switch to maximum-heat,
as long as the thermostat continues to call for heat. The furnace
control CPU then uses this information to calculate the modulating
rate the furnace will operate at on the next heating cycle. If the
calculated modulating rate is between 40% - 99% then the furnace
control CPU will operate for 45 seconds at intermediate-heat, and
then operate at the calculated modulating rate for up to 19 minutes
and then switch to maximum-heat as long as the thermostat
continues to call for heat. If the calculated modulating rate is 100%
then the furnace control will only operate at maximum-heat until
the thermostat is satisfied.
The wall thermostat ”calls for heat”, closing the R to W circuit. The
furnace control CPU performs a self-check, verifies the low,
medium, and high pressure switch contacts LPS,MPS, and HPS are
open, then de-energizes the PSR relay to close the NC contact.
1. Inducer Prepurge Period - The furnace control CPU turns
on inducer motor IDM and slowly increases the inducer
motor speed. After the low pressure switch LPS closes the
furnace control CPU continues to increase the inducer motor speed until the medium pressure switch MPS closes.
When the medium pressure switch MPS closes, inducer motor RPM is noted by the furnace control CPU, and a
25-second prepurge period begins. The RPM is used to
evaluate vent system resistance.This evaluation is then
used to determine the required RPM necessary to operate
the inducer motor during pre-purge, the first 45 seconds of
intermediate-heat, or any modulating rate that the furnace
will transition to after the blower on-delay is completed.
NOTE:The heat cycle can start in either intermediate- or
maximum-heat. If a maximum-heat cycle is initiated, the furnace
control CPU will continue to increase the inducer motor speed
after the medium pressure switch MPS closes. When the medium
pressure switch closes, inducer motor RPM is noted by the furnace
control CPU, and a 25-second prepurge period begins. The RPM
is used to evaluate vent system restriction. This evaluation is then
used to determine the required RPM necessary to operate the
inducer motor in maximum-heat pre-purge, or maximum-heat.
The high pressure switch HPS should be closed before ignition but
the furnace control ignores this input until after ignition occurs.
2. Igniter Warm-Up - At the end of the prepurge period, the
Hot-Surface Igniter HSI is energized for a 17-second igniter warm-up period
3. Trial-For-Ignition Sequence - When the igniter warm-up
period is completed the main gas valve relay contact GVR
closes to energize the gas valve solenoid GV (pin 5). The
gas valve solenoid GV (pin 5) permits gas flow to the burners where it is ignited. Five seconds after the GVR closes, a
2-second Flame-Proving period begins. The HSI igniter
will remain energized until flame is sensed or until the
2-second flame proving period begins.
4. Flame-Proving - When the burner flame is proved at the
flame-proving sensor electrode FSE, the furnace control
CPU begins the blower-ON delay period and continues to
hold the gas valve GV (pin 5) open. If the burner flame is
not proved within two seconds, the furnace control CPU
will close the gas valve GV (pin 5), and the furnace control
987MA
79
Page 80
987MA
CPU will repeat the ignition sequence for up to three more
Trials-For-Ignition before going to Ignition-Lockout. Lock-out will be reset automatically after three hours, or by momentarily interrupting 115 vac power to the furnace, or by
interrupting 24 vac power at SEC1 or SEC2 to the furnace
control CPU (not at W/W1, G, R, etc.).
If flame is proved when flame should not be present, the
furnace control CPU will lock out of Gas-Heating mode and
operate the inducer motor IDM at full speed until flame is
no longer proved.
5. Inducer Speed Change - If the cycle starts in intermedi-
ate-heat, the furnace control CPU reduces the inducer speed
slightly after flame sense. If cycle starts in maximum-heat,
the furnace control CPU increases the inducer speed after
flame sense.
6. Blower-On delay — If the burner flame is proven, the
blower-ON delay for intermediate-heat and maximum-heat
are as follows:
Intermediate-heat - 45 seconds after the gas valve GV (pin
5) is opened the blower motor BLWM is turned ON at the
modulating heat airflow.
Maximum-heat - 25 seconds after thegas valve GV (pin 5)
is opened the BLWM is turned ON at maximum-heat airflow.
Simultaneously, the humidifier terminal HUM and electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 are energized and remain
energized throughout the heating cycle.
7. Switching from Intermediate-Heat to a Low Range In-put - If the furnace control CPU switches from intermediate-heat to a low range input (low range input is an input
rate less than or equal to 51% of full rate), the furnace
control CPU will turn the blower ON or switch to the modulating heat airflow, energize the PSR relay to open the NC
contact, and slowly decrease the inducer motor speed to the
desired inducer RPM.
Switching from a Intermediate-Heat to a Medium
Range Input - If the furnace control CPU switches from
intermediate-heat to a different medium range input (medium range input is an input rate between 52% and 71% of
full rate), the furnace control CPU will turn the blower ON
or switch to the modulating heat airflow, and continue to
maintain the inducer motor speed or change it further if required.
Switching from a Intermediate-Heat to a High Range
Input - If the furnace control CPU switches from intermedi-
ate-heat to a high range input (high range input is an input
rate greater than or equal to 72% of full rate), the furnace
control CPU will turn the blower ON or switch to the modulating heat airflow, and increase the inducer motor speed to
the desired inducer motor RPM.
Switching from Low Range Input to Maximum-Heat - If
the furnace control CPU switches from a low range input
to maximum-heat, the furnace control CPU will de-energize the PSR relay to close the NC contact and slowly increase the inducer motor speed until the medium pressure
switch MPS closes. When the medium pressure switch
MPS closes the inducer motor RPM is noted by the furnace
control CPU. The RPM is used to evaluate vent system resistance. This evaluation is then used to determine the required RPM necessary to operate the inducer motor at
maximum-heat. The blower motor BLWM will transition
to maximum-heat airflow five seconds after the furnace
control CPU switches from a low range input to maximum-heat. As the inducer RPM increases, the high pressure
switch HPS should close.
Switching from Medium Range Input to Maximum-Heat - If the furnace control CPU switches from medi-
um range input to maximum-heat, the furnace control CPU
will increase the inducer motor speed to the maximum-heat
inducer motor RPM. The blower motor BLWM will transition to the maximum-heat airflow five seconds after the
furnace control CPU switches from a medium range input
to maximum-heat. As the inducer RPM increases, the high
pressure switch HPS should close.
8. Blower-Off Delay — When the thermostat is satisfied, the
R to W circuit is opened, de-energizing the gas valve GV
(pin 5), stopping gas flow to the burners, and humidifier terminal HUM. The inducer motor IDM will remain energized
fora 15-second post-purge period. The blower motor BLWM and air cleaner terminal EAC-1 will remain energized
at minimum-heat airflow or transition to minimum-heat airflow for 90, 120, 150, or 180 seconds (depending on selection at blower-OFF delay switches). The furnace control
CPU is factory-set for a 120-second blower- OFF delay.
Two--Stage Thermostat and Modulating Heating
(Adaptive Mode)
Operation of Modulating Heating (Adaptive Mode; SW1--2 and
SW4--2 are both OFF) with a two--stage thermostat is the same as
with a single--stage thermostat, EXCEPT for the following:
If the two--stage thermostat R--W2 circuit closes along with the R
to W/W1 circuit, while the furnace is operating at any capacity less
than maximum, the furnace will switch to the maximum heating
capacity. At this point, the furnace control heating algorithm is
overridden and the two--stage thermostat takes control of staging
until BOTH R to W/W1 and R to W2 circuits are opened.
The furnace with transition back to the lower heating capacity if
the two--stage thermostat opens the R--W2 circuit, but leaves R to
W/W1 circuit closed. The furnace control will continue to follow
the commands from the two--stage thermostat for W/W1 and W2,
until the R to W/W1 circuit is opened.
After the two--stage thermostat opens both the R to W/W1 and R to
W2 circuits, the adaptive algorithm will set the beginning capacity
of the next heating cycle to the same value as the heating cycle that
most recently completed.
Two-Stage Thermostat and Two-Stage Minimum/Maximum Heating
See Fig. 34 and 35 for thermostat connections.
NOTE: In this mode, the minimum-heat only switch SW1-2 must
be ON to select the minimum-heat only operation mode in
response to closing the thermostat R to W1 circuit. Closing the
thermostat Rto W1-and-W2 circuitsalways causes
maximum-heat operation, regardless of the setting of the
minimum-heat only switch.
The furnace will start up in either intermediate-, or maximum-heat.
The furnace will operate in minimum-heat after starting and
operating for 1 minute at intermediate-heat before transitioning to
minimum-heat.
The wall thermostat ”calls for heat”, closing the R to W1 circuit for
minimum-heat or closing the R to W1-and-W2 circuits for
maximum-heat. The furnace control performs a self-check, and
verifies the low, medium and high pressure switch contacts LPS,
MPS and HPS are open, then de-energizesthe PSR relay to close
the NC contact.
The start up and shut down functions and delays described above
apply to the 2-stage minimum/maximum heating mode as well,
except for switching from maximum- to minimum-heat.
1. Switching from Maximum- to Minimum-Heat —Ifthe
thermostat R to W2 circuit opens, and the R to W1 circuit
remains closed, the furnace control CPU will gradually decrease the inducer motor speed to the required intermediate-heat RPM. When the inducer motor IDM reduces pressure sufficiently, the high pressure switch HPS will open
and the gas rate will be changed to intermediate-heat. The
gas valve solenoid GV (pin 5) will remain energized aslong
as the low pressure switch LPS remains closed. When the
80
Page 81
inducer motor speed gets within 15% of the required intermediate-heat RPM the furnace control CPU will start a 5
second blower airflow change delay. After the 5 second
blower airflow change delay is completed the blower airflow will transition to minimum-heat airflow. At this point
the furnace control CPU will energize the PSR relay to open
the NC contact and slowly decrease the inducer motor
speed to the required minimum-heat RPM. When the
PSR relay is energized and the NC contact opens the furnace control CPU will reduce the gas rate to minimum-heat
RPM.
Two-Stage Thermostat and Two-Stage Intermediate/
Maximum Heating
See Fig. 34 and 35 for thermostat connections
NOTE: In this mode the intermediate-heat only switch SW4-2
must be ON to select the intermediate-heat only operation mode in
response to closing the thermostat R to W1 circuit. Closing the
thermostat Rto W1-and-W2 circuitsalways causes
maximum-heat operation, regardless of the setting of the
intermediate-heat only switch.
The wall thermostat ”calls for heat”, closing the R to W1 circuit for
intermediate-heat or closing the R to W1-and-W2 circuits for
maximum-heat. The furnace control performs a self-check, and
verifies the low, medium and high pressure switch contacts LPS,
MPS and HPS are open , then de-energizes the PSR relay to close
the NC contact.
The start up and shut down functions and delays described above
apply to the 2-stage intermediate/maximum heating mode as well,
except for switching from maximum- to intermediate-heat.
1. Switching from Maximum- to Intermediate-Heat — If
the thermostat R to W2 circuit opens, and the R to W1 circuit remains closed, the furnace control CPU will gradually
decrease the inducer motor speed to the required intermediate-heat RPM. When the inducer motor IDM reduces
pressure sufficiently, the high pressure switch HPS will
open and the gas rate will be changed to intermediate-heat.
When the inducer motor speed gets within 15% of the required intermediate-heat RPM the furnace control CPU will
start a 5 second blower airflow change delay. After the 5
second blower airflow change delay is completed the
blower airflow will transition to intermediate-heat airflow.
Cooling Mode
The thermostat “calls for cooling.”
1. Single-Speed Cooling
See Fig. 34 and 35 for thermostat connections.
The thermostat closes the R to G-and-Y circuits. The R to Y circuit
starts the outdoor unit, and the R to G-and-Y/Y2 circuits start the
furnace blower motor BLWM on cooling airflow. Cooling airflow
isbasedontheA/CselectionshowninFig.54.
The electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 is energized with 115
vac when the blower motor BLWM is operating. When the
thermostat is satisfied, the R to G-and-Y circuits are opened. The
outdoor unit will stop, and the furnace blower motor BLWM will
continue operating at cooling airflow for an additional 90 seconds.
Jumper Y/Y2 to DHUM to reduce the cooling off-delay to 5
seconds. (See Fig. 34.)
2. Single-Stage Thermostat and Two-Speed Cooling (Ad-
aptive Mode)
See Fig. 34 and 35 for thermostat connections.
This furnace can operate a two-speed cooling unit with a
single-stage thermostat because the furnace control CPU includes a
programmed adaptive sequence of controlled operation, which
selects low-cooling or high-cooling operation. This selection is
based upon the stored history of the length of previous cooling
period of the single-stage thermostat.
NOTE: The air conditioning relay disable jumper ACRDJ must be
connected to enable the adaptive cooling mode in response to a call
for cooling. (See Fig. 34.) When in place the furnace control CPU
can turn on the air conditioning relay ACR to energize the Y/Y2
terminal and switch the outdoor unit to high-cooling.
The furnace control CPU can start up the cooling unit in either
low- or high-cooling. If starting up in low-cooling, the furnace
control CPU determines the low-cooling on-time (from 0 to 20
minutes) which is permitted before switching to high-cooling.
If the power is interrupted, the stored history is erased and the
furnace control CPU will select low-cooling for up to 20 minutes
and then energize the air conditioning relay ACR to energize the
Y/Y2 terminal and switch the outdoor unit to high-cooling, as long
as the thermostat continues to call for cooling. Subsequent
selection is based on stored history of the thermostat cycle times.
The wall thermostat “calls for cooling”, closing the R to G and- Y
circuits. The R to Y1 circuit starts the outdoor unit on low-cooling
speed, and the R to G-and-Y1 circuits starts the furnace blower
motor BLWM at low-cooling airflow which is the true on-board
CFselectionasshowninFig.54.
If the furnace control CPU switches from low-cooling to high
cooling, the furnace control CPU will energize the air conditioning
relay ACR. When the air conditioning relay ACR is energized the
R to Y1-and-Y2 circuits switch the outdoor unit to high-cooling
speed, and the R to G-and-Y1- and-Y/Y2 circuits transition the
furnace blower motor BLWM to high-cooling airflow.
High-cooling airflow is based on the A/C selection shown in Fig.
54.
NOTE: When transitioning from low-cooling to high-cooling the
outdoor unit compressor will shut down for 1 minute while the
furnace blower motor BLWM transitions to run at high-cooling
airflow.
The electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 is energized with 115
vac whenever the blower motor BLWM is operating.
When the thermostat is satisfied, the R to G-and-Y circuit are
opened. The outdoor unit stops, and the furnace blower BLWM
and electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 will remain energized for
an additional 90 seconds. Jumper Y1 to DHUM to reduce the
cooling off-delay to 5 seconds. (See Fig. 34.)
3. Two Stage Thermostat and Two-Speed Cooling
See Fig. 34 and 35 for thermostat connections.
NOTE: The air conditioning relay disable jumper ACRDJ must
be disconnected to allow thermostat control of the outdoor unit
staging. (See Fig. 34.)
The thermostat closes the R to G-and-Y1 circuits for low cooling
or closes the R to G-and-Y1-and-Y2 circuits for high cooling. The
R to Y1 circuit starts the outdoor unit on low cooling speed, and
the R to G-and-Y1 circuit starts the furnace blower motor BLWM
at low-cooling airflow which is the true on-board CF selection as
shown in Fig. 54. The R to Y1-and-Y2 circuits start the outdoor
unit on high-cooling speed, and the R to G-and-Y/Y2 circuits start
the furnace blower motor BLWM at high-cooling airflow.
High-cooling airflow is based on the A/C selection shown in Fig.
54.
The electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 is energized with 115
vac whenever the blower motor BLWM is operating.
When the thermostat is satisfied, the R to G-and-Y1 or R to
G-and-Y1-and-Y2 circuits are opened. The outdoor unit stops, and
the furnace blower BLWM and electronic air cleaner terminal
EAC-1 will remain energized for an additional 90 seconds. Jumper
Y1 to DHUM to reduce the cooling off-delay to 5 seconds. (See
Fig. 54.)
4. Dehumidification Mode
See Fig. 34 and 35 for thermostat connections.
The dehumidification output, D or DHUM on the Thermostat
should be connected to the furnace control thermostat terminal
987MA
81
Page 82
DHUM. When there is a dehumidify demand, the DHUM input is
activated, which means 24 vac signal is removed from the DHUM
input terminal. In other words, the DHUM input logic is reversed.
The DHUM input is turned ON when no dehumidify demand
exists. Once 24 vac is detected by the furnace control,
dehumidification capability is activated. If the DHUM input is
removed for more than 48 hours, the furnace control reverts back
to non-dehumidification mode.
The cooling operation described above in the Cooling Mode
section also applies to Dehumidification Mode. The exceptions are
listed below:
a. Low cooling – When the R to G-and-Y1 circuit is closed
and there is a demand for dehumidification, the furnace
blowermotor BLWM willdrop theblower airflow to 86%
of low cooling airflow which is the true on-board CF
selectionasshowninFig.54.
b. High cooling– WhentheR toG-and Y/Y2circuit is closed
and there is a demand for dehumidification, the furnace
blowermotor BLWM willdrop theblower airflow to 86%
987MA
of high-cooling airflow. High-cooling airflow is based on
the A/C selection shown in Fig. 54.
c. Cooling off-delay – When the “call for cooling” is
satisfied and there is a demand for dehumidification, the
cooling blower-off delay is decreased from 90 seconds
to 5 seconds.
Super Dehumidify Mode
Super-Dehumidify mode can only be entered if the furnace control
is in the Dehumidification mode and there is a demand for
dehumidification. The cooling operation described in Cooling
Mode section above also applies to Super Dehumidify Mode. The
exceptions are listed below:
1. Low cooling –WhentheRtoY1circuitisclosed,RtoG
circuit is open, and there is a demand for dehumidification,
the furnace blower motor BLWM will drop the blower airflow to 65% of low-cooling airflow for a maximum of 10
minutes each cooling cycle or until the R to G circuit closes
or the demand for dehumidification is satisfied. Low-cooling airflow is the true on-board CF selection as shown in
Fig. 54.
2. High cooling – When the R to Y/Y2 circuit is closed, R to
G circuit is open, and there is a demand for dehumidification, the furnace blower motor BLWM will drop the blower
airflow to 65% of high-cooling airflow for a maximum of
10 minutes each cooling cycle or until the R to G circuit
closes or the demand for dehumidification is satisfied.
High-cooling airflow is based on the A/C selection shown
in Fig. 54.
3. Cooling off-delay – When the “call for cooling” is satisfied
and there is a demand for dehumidification, the cooling
blower-off delay is decreased from 90 seconds to 5
seconds.
Continuous Blower Mode
When the R to G circuit is closed by the thermostat, the blower
motor BLWM will operate at continuous blower airflow.
Continuous blower airflow selection is initially based on the CF
selection shown in Fig. 54. Factory default is shown in Fig. 54.
Terminal EAC-1 is energized as long as the blower motor BLWM
is energized.
During a call for heat, the furnace control CPU will transition the
blower motor BLWM to continuous blower airflow, minimum-heat
airflow, or the mid-range airflow, whichever is lowest. The blower
motor BLWM will remain ON until the main burners ignite then
shut OFF and remain OFF for the blower-ON delay (45 seconds in
intermediate heat, and 25 seconds in maximum-heat), allowing the
furnace heat exchangers to heat up more quickly, then restarts at
the end of the blower-ON delay period at modulating or
maximum-heat airflow respectively.
The blower motor BLWM will revert to continuous-blower
airflow after the heating cycle is completed. When the thermostat
satisfies, the furnace control CPU will drop the blower motor
BLWM to minimum-heat airflow during the selected blower-OFF
delay period before transitioning to continuous-blower airflow.
When the thermostat “calls for low-cooling”, the blower motor
BLWM will operate at low-cooling airflow. When the thermostat is
satisfied, the blower motor BLWM will operate an additional 90
seconds at low-cooling airflow before transitioning back to
continuous-blower airflow.
When the thermostat “calls for high-cooling”, the blower motor
BLWM will operate at high cooling airflow. When the thermostat
is satisfied, the blower motor BLWM will operate an additional 90
seconds at high-cooling airflow before transitioning back to
continuous-blower airflow.
When the R to G circuit is opened, the blower motor BLWM will
continue operating for an additional 5 seconds, if no other function
requires blower motor BLWM operation.
Continuous Blower Speed Selection from Thermostat
To select different continuous-blower airflows from the room
thermostat, momentarily turn off the FAN switch or push button on
the room thermostat for 1-3 seconds after the blower motor
BLWM is operating.
The furnace control CPU will shift the continuous-blower airflow
from the factory setting to the next highest CF selection airflow as
shown in Fig. 54. Momentarily turning off the FAN switch again at
the thermostat will shift the continuous-blower airflow up one
more increment. If you repeat this procedure enough you will
eventually shift the continuous blower airflow to the lowest CF
selection as shown in Fig. 54. The selection can be changed as
many times as desired and is stored in the memory to be
automatically used following a power interruption.
Heat Pump
See Fig. 34 and 35 for thermostat connections. When installed with
a heat pump, the furnace control automatically changes the timing
sequence to avoid long blower off times during demand defrost
cycles. Whenever W/W1 is energized along with Y1 or Y/Y2, the
furnace control CPU will transition to or bring on the blower motor
BLWM at cooling airflow, minimum-heat airflow, or the mid-range
airflow, whichever is lowest. The blower motor BLWM will
remain on until the main burners ignite then shut OFF and remain
OFF for 25 seconds before coming back on at modulating heat
airflow. When the W/W1 input signal disappears, the furnace
control begins a normal inducer post-purge period while changing
the blower airflow. If Y/Y2 input is still energized the furnace
control CPU will transition the blower motor BLWM airflow to
cooling airflow. If Y/Y2 input signal disappears and the Y1 input is
still energized the furnace control CPU will transition the blower
motor BLWM to low-cooling airflow. If both the Y1 and Y/Y2
signals disappear at the same time, the blower motor BLWM will
remain on at minimum-heat airflow for the selected blower-OFF
delay period. At the end of the blower-OFF delay, the blower
motor BLWM will shut OFF unless G is still energized, in which
case the blower motor BLWM will operate at continuous blower
airflow.
