ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS

PROCEDURE

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
recharges your body with static electricity (for example; DO
NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT touch ungrounded
objects, etc.).

5

⁄8″ TYP

A88324

2

4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with
static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touching
control or wires.

5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungrounded)
furnaces.

6. Before removing a new control 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.

INTRODUCTION

The model 58RAV Series 151 Furnaces are available in sizes

→

50,000 through 135,000 Btuh input capacities.
The design of the downflow/horizontal gas-fired furnace is

A.G.A./C.G.A. certified for natural and propane gas and for
installation on noncombustible flooring. The furnace may be
installed on combustible flooring when installed with the acces­sory downflow subbase. This furnace is for installation in alcoves,
attics, crawlspaces, basements, closets, or utility rooms. The
design of this furnace line is not A.G.A./C.G.A. certified for
installation in mobile homes, recreation vehicles, or outdoors.

Before installing the furnace, refer to the current edition of the
NFGC. Canadian installations must be installed in accordance
NSCNGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction. For further
information, the NFGC is available from National Fire Protection
Association Inc. Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269; Ameri­can Gas Association, 1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA
22209; or from Literature Distribution.

Application of this furnace should be indoors with special
attention given to vent sizing and material, gas input rate, air
temperature rise, and unit sizing. Improper installation or
misapplication of the furnace can require excessive servicing
or cause premature component failure.

Installation must conform to the regulations of the serving gas
supplier and the local building, heating, and plumbing codes in
effect in the area in which the installation is made, or in the
absence of local codes with the requirements of the NFGC.

This furnace is designed for a minimum continuous return-air
temperature of 60°F db or intermittent operation down to 55°F db
such as when used with a night setback thermostat. Return-air
temperature must not exceed a maximum of 85°F db.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, mainte­nance, or use can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, explo­sion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may
cause personal injury, loss of life, or property damage.
Consult a qualified installer, service agency, local gas sup­plier, or your distributor or branch for information or assis­tance. The qualified installer or agency must use only
factory-authorized and listed kits or accessories when modi­fying this product. Failure to follow this warning could result
in electrical shock, fire, personal injury, or death.

For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable installa­tion literature.

NOTE: Remove all shipping brackets and materials before oper­ating the furnace.

Step 1—Location

GENERAL

Do not install furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmo­sphere. Make sure all combustion and circulating air require­ments are followed, 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.

This furnace must be installed so the electrical components are
protected from water.

Locate the 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.

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.

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.

LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT — The
cooling coil must be installed parallel with or on the downstream
side of the furnace 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.

HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS — When the furnace is installed in
a residential garage, it must be installed so that the burners and
ignition source are located at least 18 in. above the floor. The
furnace should be protected from physical damage by vehicles.

When a furnace is installed in public garages, airplane hangars, or
other buildings having hazardous atmospheres, the unit must be
installed in accordance with the recommended good practice
requirements of the National Fire Protection Association, Inc.

Step 2—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.

3

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.

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 draft safeguard opening.

The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon
whether the furnace is located in an unconfined or confined space.

UNCONFINED SPACE — An unconfined space must have at
least 50 cu ft for each 1000 Btuh of input for all the appliances
(such as furnaces, clothes dryer, water heaters, etc.) in the space.

For Example:

58RAV FURNACE

INPUT BTUH

46,000 307

92,000 613
115,000 767
135,000 920

MINIMUM SQ FT

WITH

7-1/2 FT CEILING

If the unconfined space is constructed unusually tight, 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. A minimum opening with a total of at least 1 sq in. per 5000
Btuh of total input rating for all equipment must be provided.
Return air must not be taken from the room unless an equal or
greater amount of air is supplied to the room.

CONFINED SPACE — A confined space has volume less than 50
cu ft per 1000 Btuh of the total input ratings of all appliances
installed in that space. A confined space MUST have 2 permanent
openings, 1 within 12 in. of the ceiling, and the other within 12 in.
of the floor. (See Fig. 2.)

NOTE: In determining the free area of an opening, the blocking
effect of the louvers, grilles, and screens must be considered. If the
free area of a 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 the air comes from
inside or outside the structure.

1. All air from inside the structure:
a. Each opening MUST have at least 1 sq in. of free area per

1000 Btuh of the total input for all equipment within the
confined space, but not less than 100 sq in. per opening.
(See Fig. 2.)

b. If the building is constructed unusually tight, a permanent

opening directly communicating with the outdoors should
be provided. This opening should have a minimum free
area of 1 sq in. per 5000 Btuh of total input rating for all
equipment in the enclosure.

c. If the furnace is installed on a raised platform to provide a

return-air plenum, and return air is taken directly from the
hallway or space adjacent to the furnace, all air for
combustion must come from outdoors. (See Fig. 3.)

2. All air from outside the structure:
a. If combustion air is taken from outdoors through vertical

ducts, the openings and ducts MUST have at least 1 sq in.
of free area per 4000 Btuh of the total input for all
equipment within the confined space.

b. If combustion air is taken from the outdoors through

horizontal ducts, the openings and ducts MUST have at
least 1 sq in. of free area per 2000 Btuh of the total input
for all equipment within the confined space.

c. 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 rectangular ducts
must not be less than 3 in. (See Fig. 3.)

Step 4—Horizontal Attic Installation

CONSTRUCT A WORKING PLATFORM

Construct working platform on location where all required
furnace clearances are met. (See Table 1 and Fig. 7.)

INSTALL FURNACE

1. Position furnace in desired location.

2. Connect gas supply pipe. See Fig. 7 for typical piping entry.

3. Install field-supplied filter retainers as indicated in Fig. 8 and
Table 4 before connecting return-air duct to furnace.

4. Connect supply- and return-air ducts.

5. Install 24- X 24-in. sheet metal shield on platform in front of
louvered control panel as shown in Fig. 7.

Step 5—Horizontal Crawlspace Installation

The furnace can be installed horizontally with either the LH or RH
side up. In a crawlspace, the furnace can either be hung from the
floor joist or installed on suitable blocks or pad. The furnace can
be suspended from each corner by hanger bolts (4 each 3/8-in.
all-thread rod) cut to desired length, 1- X 3/8-in. flat washer,
3/8-in. lockwasher, and 3/8-in. nut. Dimples are provided for hole
locations. (See Fig. 1.)

Since horizontal crawlspace installation is very similar to the attic
installation, refer to Step 4. The installation of a sheet metal shield
in front of the louvered control panel is covered in Step 4. For a
crawlspace installation, this same sheet metal shield must be
installed above the louvered control panel. Extend the sheet metal
shield over the furnace top far enough to cover the gas pipe entry
hole.

Step 6—Filter Arrangement

Do not install the furnace on its back; safety control operation
will be adversely affected. Never connect return-air ducts to
the sides or back of the furnace. Failure to follow this warning
could result in fire, personal injury, or death.

The furnace can be installed horizontally on either the left-hand
(LH) or right-hand (RH) side. A typical attic installation is shown
in Fig. 7.

Step 7—Gas Piping

Gas piping must be installed in accordance with national and local
codes. Refer to the current edition of the NFGC.

Connect the gas pipe to the furnace using a backup wrench to
avoid damaging gas controls.

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.

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.

Install an accessible manual shut-off valve 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 shut-off valve. Place a
ground joint union between the gas control manifold and the
manual shut-off.

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.
(See Fig. 10.)

Piping should be pressure tested in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before the furnace has been
attached. If the pressure exceeds 0.5 psig (14-in. wc), the gas
supply pipe must be disconnected from the furnace and capped
before the pressure test. If the test pressure is equal to or less than

0.5 psig (14-in. wc), close the manual shut-off valve located on the
gas valve before the test. It is recommended that the ground joint
union be loosened before pressure testing.

After all connections have been made, purge the lines and check
for gas leakage with regulated gas supply pressure.

Step 8—Electrical Connections

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.

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
70-1993, 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 center fault code indicator light will
flash rapidly and furnace will not operate.

The cabinet MUST have an uninterrupted or unbroken ground
according to NEC ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 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.

24-V WIRING — Make field 24-v connections at the 24-v termi­nal strip. (See Fig. 11.) Connect terminal Y as shown in Fig. 12 for
proper operation in cooling mode. Use AWG No. 18 color-coded
wire only.

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.

ACCESSORIES

1. Electronic air cleaner (EAC)
Two quick-connect terminals, marked EAC-1 and EAC-2, are

provided for EAC connection. (See Fig. 11.) These terminals
are energized with 115v (1.5-amp maximum) during blower
motor operation.

2. Humidifier (HUM)
Quick-connect terminal (HUM) and screw terminal (Com) are

provided for 24-v humidifier connection. The terminals are
energized with 24v (0.5-amp maximum) after inducer motor
prepurge period.

NOTE: A field-supplied, 115-v controlled relay connected to
EAC terminals may be added if humidifier operation is desired
during blower operation.

Step 9—Venting

Refer to the enclosed Installation Instructions, GAMA Venting
Tables for Category I Furnaces and Venting Tables for Category I
Fan-Assisted Furnaces. 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.

Step 10—Start-up, Adjustment, and Safety Check

GENERAL
NOTE: Proper polarity must be maintained for 115-v wiring. If
polarity is incorrect, control center fault 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 control board. 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).

9

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.

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.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

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. 13, 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.

1. Heating mode
When the thermostat "calls for heat," R-W circuit closes. The

furnace control performs a self-check, verifies the pressure
switch contacts are open, and starts the 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. Ignitor warm-up—At the end of the prepurge period, the

ignitor is energized for a 17-sec ignitor warm-up period.

c. Ignition sequence—When the ignitor warm-up period is

completed, the gas valve opens, permitting gas flow to the
burners where it is ignited. After 5 sec, the ignitor is
de-energized and a 2-sec flame-sensing period begins.

d. HUM terminal is energized with the gas valve. See

Accessories in Electrical Connections section.

e. Flame-sensing—When burner flame is sensed, the control

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 the ignition cycle.

NOTE: Ignition sequence will repeat 3 additional times before a
lockout occurs. Lockout automatically resets after 3 hrs, or can be
manually reset by turning 115v off (not at thermostat) for 3 sec
minimum, then on again.

f. Blower on delay—Forty sec after burner flame is proven,

the blower motor is energized on heating speed. Simulta­neously, the humidifier and electronic air cleaner terminals
(HUM and Com for humidifier, EAC-1 and EAC-2 for
electronic air cleaner) are energized.

g. Blower off delay—When the thermostat is satisfied, the

circuit between R and W is broken, de-energizing the gas
valve and stopping gas flow to the burners. The blower
motor, and EAC remain energized for 135 sec.

h. Post-purge—The inducer motor remains energized 5 sec

after the burners are extinguished.

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
combined R-Y and R-G circuits start the furnace blower motor
on cooling speed. The EAC-1 terminal is energized with 115v
whenever the blower is operating on cooling speed.

When the thermostat is satisfied, R-G and R-Y circuits are
broken. Furnace blower and EAC continue operating on
cooling speed for an additional 90 sec.

3. Continuous blower mode

NOTE: EAC-1 terminal is energized with 115v whenever blower
is operating.

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 40-sec blower on delay period.

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 auto-

matically 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.

START-UP PROCEDURES

1. Purge gas lines—After all connections have been made, purge
the lines and check for leaks.

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 1/4-in. quick connect terminal on control
board (adjacent to diagnostic light) and the Com terminal on
thermostat connection block for approximately 2 sec. (See Fig.

11.)

NOTE: Component test feature will not operate if any thermostat
signal is present at control center.

Component test sequence is as follows.
a. Momentarily jumper TEST and Com terminals until LED

goes off.
b. LED will display previous fault 4 times.
c. Inducer motor operates for 10 sec, then stops.
d. Hot surface ignitor 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.

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.

ADJUSTMENTS

1. Set gas input rate.
There are 2 methods of adjusting the gas input rate. The

preferred method is by using Table 7 and following instruc­tions in item a. The second method is by clocking the gas
meter and following instructions in item b.

The gas valve regulator has been nominally set at 3.5-in. wc
for natural gas. When adjusting input rate, do not set manifold
pressure above 3.8-in. wc or below 3.2-in. wc.

a. Check gas input rate using Table 7.

(1.) Obtain average yearly heat value for local gas supply.
(2.) Obtain average yearly specific gravity for local gas

supply.

(3.) Verify furnace model. Table 7 can only be used for

model 58RAV Furnaces.

(4.) Check and verify orifice size in furnace. NEVER

ASSUME THE ORIFICE SIZE. ALWAYS CHECK
AND VERIFY.

DO NOT redrill burner 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 the burners and heat exchangers, causing
failure.

(5.) Find natural gas heat value and specific gravity in

Table 7.

(6.) Follow heat value and specific gravity lines to point of

intersection. Find orifice size and manifold pressure
settings for proper operation at given natural gas
conditions.

EXAMPLE:
Heat value 1070 Btu/cu ft
Specific gravity 0.58
Therefore; Orifice No. 44 *

Manifold pressure 3.6-in. wc
* The furnace is shipped with No. 43 orifices. Therefore, in
this example all main burner orifices must be changed and
the manifold pressure must be adjusted.

(7.) Proceed to item c to adjust manifold pressure.

b. Check gas input rate by clocking gas meter.

(1.) Obtain average yearly heat value for local gas supply.
(2.) Check and verify orifice size in furnace. NEVER

ASSUME THE ORIFICE SIZE. ALWAYS CHECK

AND VERIFY.
(3.) Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots.
(4.) Start furnace and let run for 3 minutes.
(5.) Measure time (in sec) for gas meter to complete 1

revolution.
(6.) Refer to Table 8 for cu ft of gas per hr.
(7.) Multiply gas rate (cu ft/hr) by heating value (Btu/cu

ft).

EXAMPLE:
Btu heating input = Btu/cu ft X cu ft/hr
Heating value of gas = 1070 Btu/cu ft
Time for 1 revolution of 2-cu ft dial = 72 sec
Gas rate = 100 X 1070 = 107,000 Btuh

(8.) Check to make sure that measured gas input does not

exceed gas input on unit rating plate.
(9.) Proceed to item c to adjust manifold pressure.

c. Adjust gas input.

(1.) Remove regulator adjustment seal cap. (See Fig. 14.)
(2.) Turn adjusting screw counterclockwise to decrease

input. Turn screw clockwise to increase input. DO
NOT set manifold pressure less than 3.2-in. wc or
more than 3.8-in. wc for natural gas. Make any major
adjustments by changing main burner orifices.

(3.) When correct input is obtained, replace regulator

adjustment seal cap. Main burner flame should be
clear blue, almost transparent. (See Fig. 15.)

d. High altitude—In the United States, gas input on unit rating

plate is for altitudes up to 2000 ft. Ratings for altitudes over
2000 ft must be 4 percent less for each 1000 ft above sea
level. To obtain the adjusted altitude rating, adjust the
manifold pressure, item c, and replace the main burner
orifices as needed. Refer to NFGC Appendix F, Table F-4
for proper orifice sizing at high altitudes.

e. Canadian installations only—The Canadian ratings are

approved for altitudes up to 2000 ft for natural and propane
gases. High-altitude ratings are from 2000 ft to 4500 ft
above sea level. See Table 9 for nominal burner orifice
size. High-altitude input ratings include a 10 percent
derated as required by Canadian standards.

2. Set temperature rise.
Furnace must operate within range of temperature rise speci-

fied 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 does 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.

Disconnect the electrical power before changing the speed
tap. Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury.

d. To change blower motor speed selections for heating mode,

remove blower motor lead from control board HEAT
terminal. (See Fig. 11.) 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.

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 anticipation 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. 16 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.

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 draft safeguard switch.
The purpose of this control is to permit the safe shutdown of

the furnace during certain blocked vent conditions.
