SEQUENCE OF FURNACE OPERATION
Heating Cycle — The control circuit of furnace
shown in schematic wiring diagrams, Fig. 6 and 7, results
in the following sequence of operation for the heating
cycle when used with ECM blower kit:
1. When blower door is in place, 120 volts is supplied
through blower door interlock 9G. Both transformers
lA and TRAN are energized supplying 24 volts to
heating blower relay coil 2E, interface circuit board
PCB2, and outdoor section. When heating blower
relay coil 2E is energized its normally closed contact
is opened.
2. The wall thermostat calls for heat which in turn
transmits necessary signal to CPU in outdoor section
which energizes R and W circuit. This closed circuit
supplies power to 24-volt safety circuit containing
limit switch 7H1, fusible link 11C, manual reset draftsafeguard switch 7H2, manual reset auxiliary switch
7H3 (when used), and energizes ECM blower motor
MTRl at a low blower speed.
3. Simultaneously, the pick coil of gas'valve 5F, spark
generator 6F, and inducer-motor relay coil 2D are
energized. Inducer-motor relay contacts 2D close
supplying 120 volts to start inducer blower motor 3A.
Also, another set of contacts in inducer-motor relay
2D close in 24-volt circuit, and lock in inducer-motor
relay coil 2D. The coil is locked in until R and W
circuit or safety circuit opens.
4. When pick coil of gas valve 5F is energized, gas flows
to pilot. Pilot gas is ignited by a spark produced by
spark generator 6F. Simultaneously, inducer motor
3A comes up to speed, actuating flow sensing switch
7V, energizing hold coil of gas valve 5F. Pick coil of
gas valve 5F and spark generator 6F are de-energized
when contacts of pilot-flame sensing switch 6H move
from normally closed position, breaking circuit to
pick coil and spark generator. In approximately 50 to
60 seconds, normally open contacts of pilot-flame
sensing switch 6H close, making circuit to MGV (main
gas valve) of gas valve 5F. Gas valve 5F opens in
approximately 10 seconds, allowing gas flow to main
burners, which are ignited by pilot 6H. Simul
taneously, time-delay circuit in furnace control board
is energized. Approximately 60 seconds after gas
valve 5F opens, heating relay coil 2E is de-energized,
which closes 120-volt contacts of heating relay 2E,
energizing blower control relay BCR and on/off relay
ONR on interface circuit board PCB2. This in turn
steps up ECM blower motor MTR 1 to its heating speed.
5. When thermostat is satisfied, the appropriate signal
is transmitted to CPU in outdoor section which de
energizes R and W circuit. This in turn de-energizes
gas valve 5F, inducer motor relay 2D, and solid-state
time-delay circuit on furnace control board. Gas flow
stops immediately to pilot and main burners. After
approximately 105 seconds, heating relay 2E is ener
gized, which opens heating relay contacts 2E supplying
120 volts to interface circuit board PCB2. This causes
blower control relay BCR and on/ off relay ONR to
de-energize allowing ECM blower motor MTRl
to stop.
NOTE: After a brief interruption of either electric or gas
supply, furnace will not resume operation until contacts
of pilot-flame sensing switch 6H move from normally
open to normally closed position.

TEMPERATURE RISE ADJUSTMENT
Furnace must not be operated outside range of tem
perature rise specified on unit 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 heating element so that radiant heat does not
affect readings. This practice is particularly important
with straight run ducts.
2. When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract returnair temperature from supply-air temperature to deter
mine air temperature rise.
NOTE: If outdoor section and system thermostat are
not installed, temperature rise can be determined by
jumpering R and W circuits on furnace control board.
3. Adjust temperature rise to midpoint of temperature
rise range specified on unit rating plate by adjusting
blower speed. To adjust blower speed locate heating
speed trimpot in interface circuit board (see Fig. 8).
Increase blower speed clockwise to reduce tempera
ture rise. Decrease blower speed counterclockwise to
increase temperature rise.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
A CAUTION
Because of possible damage to the equipment or
personal injury, maintenance should be performed
by qualified persons only.
For long life, economy and high efficiency, clean
accumulated dirt and grease from blower wheel and
motor annually.
The following steps should be performed by a qualified
service person:
Some motors have prelubricated sealed bearings and
require no lubrication. These motors can be identified
by the lack of oil ports on each end of the motor. For
those motors with oil ports:
Lubricate motor every 5 years if motor is used on inter
mittent operation (thermostat FAN switch in AUTO,
position), or every 2 years if motor is in continuous
operation (thermostat FAN switch in ON position).
A WARNING
To avoid possibility of electrical shock, be sure to
disconnect electrical power before removing access
panels.
Clean and lubricate as follows:
1. Remove access panels.
2. Disconnect R, W, and C thermostat leads on furnace
control board.
3. Remove control box from bottom side of blower
shelf and position out of way.
4. Note location of wires for reassembly. Remove elec
trical leads from numbered panel mount connector
located on left side of interface box.
5. Disconnect 15-conductor cable on interface circuit
board.
6. Note location of thermostat wires for reassembly.
Remove electrical leads from terminal block,TB4 on
interface circuit board.
7. Remove cover of auxiliary junction box. Disconnect
power leads going to interface circuit board.
8. Remove screws securing blower assembly to blower
shelf and slide blower assembly out of furnace.
9. Squeeze release tabs on connector PL2 and pull from
ECM blower controller.
10. Mark blower wheel location on shaft and motor
support location on motor before disassembly to
ensure proper reassembly.
11. Loosen setscrew holding blower wheel on motor
shaft.
12. Remove bolts holding motor mount to blower hous
ing. Slide motor and mount out of housing.
13. Lubricate motor.
a. Remove dust caps or plugs from oil ports located
at each end of motor. If motor does not have these
caps or plugs, bearings are sealed and need no
further lubrication.
b. Use a good grade of SAE 20 nondetergent motor
oil. Put one teaspoon (5 cc, 3/16 oz or 16 to 25
drops) in each oil port. Use of other types or
grades of oil will damage motor. Excessive oiling
can cause premature bearing failures.
c. Allow time for total quantity of oil to be absorbed
by each bearing.
d. After oiling motor, wipe excess oil from motor
housing.
e. Replace dust caps or plugs on oil ports.
14. Remove blower wheel from housing.
a. Mark blower wheel orientation and cutoff plate
location to ensure proper reassembly.
b. Remove screws securing cutoff plate and remove
cutoff plate from housing.
c. Remove blower wheel from housing.
15. Clean blower wheel and motor by using a vacuum
with soft brush attachment. Be careful not to disturb
balance weights (clips) on blower wheel vanes. Do
not drop or bend wheel because balance will be
affected.
16. Reassemble blower by reversing steps 14a through c.
Be sure wheel is positioned for proper rotation and
motor oiling plugs are pointed up when motor is
installed.
