ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS

PROCEDURE

→FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD

Improper installation or service of furnace may cause premature furnace component failure.

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 PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY’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; 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 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 objects.

7.An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources) may also be used to prevent ESD damage.

LOCATION

GENERAL

Some assembly and modifications are required when used in any of the four applications shown in Fig. 4.

→CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death, and unit component damage.

Corrosive or contaminated air may cause failure of parts containing flue gas, which could leak into the living space. Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide. These elements can corrode heat exchangers and shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air fresheners, and other household products. 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.

→The following types of furnace installations may require OUTDOOR AIR for combustion due to chemical exposures:

•Commercial buildings

•Buildings with indoor pools

•Laundry rooms

•Hobby or craft rooms, and

•Chemical storage areas

→If air is exposed to the following substances, it should not be used for combustion air, and outdoor air may be required for combustion:

•Permanent wave solutions

•Chlorinated waxes and cleaners

•Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals

•Water softening chemicals

•De-icing salts or chemicals

•Carbon tetrachloride

•Halogen type refrigerants

•Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)

•Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.

•Hydrochloric acid

•Cements and glues

•Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers

•Masonry acid washing materials

All fuel-burning equipment must be supplied with air for fuel combustion. Sufficient air must be provided to avoid negative pressure in the equipment room or space. A positive seal must be made between the furnace cabinet and the return-air duct to prevent pulling air from the burner area and from draft safeguard opening.

Fig. 5—Installation in a Garage

FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH HAZARD

Improper location or inadequate protection could result in fire or explosion.

When the furnace is installed in a residential garage, the burners and ignition sources must be located at least 18 inches above the floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid damage by vehicles. When the furnace is installed in a public garage, airplane hangar, or other building having a hazardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed in accordance with the NFGC or NSCNGPIC. (See Fig. 5.)

→PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD

Improper use or installation of this furnace may cause 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 firing 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.

→FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in unsafe furnace operation.

DO NOT install the furnace on its back or hang furnace with control compartment facing downward. Safety control operation will be adversely affected. Never connect return-air ducts to back of furnace. (See Fig. 6.)

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air must be provided in accordance with:

•U.S. installations: Section 8.3 of the NFGC, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, and applicable provisions of the local building codes.

•Canadian installations: Part 7 of the NSCNGPIC, Venting Systems and Air Supply for Appliances, and all authorities having jurisdiction.

→FURNACE CORROSION HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace damage. Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide. These elements can corrode heat exchangers and shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air fresheners, and other household products.

→CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans, clothes dryers, attic exhaust fans 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. Refer to Carbon Monoxide Hazard warning in venting section of these instructions to determine if an adequate amount of make-up air is available.

→The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon whether or not the furnace is located in a space having a volume of at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh input rating for all gas appliances installed in the space.

•Spaces having less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh require the OUTDOOR COMBUSTION AIR METHOD.

•Spaces having at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh may use the

INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR, STANDARD or KNOWNAIR INFILTRATION METHOD.
