Improper installation or service of furnace may cause
premature furnace component failure.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Follow the Electrostatic Discharge Precautions Procedure
listed below 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
maybe required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR
ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR
TODISCHARGINGYOURBODY’S
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnace chassis which is close to the control. 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.

CAUTION
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 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.

Indoor Combustion Air -- NFPA & AGA
Standard and Known--Air--Infiltration Rate Methods
Indoor air is permitted for combustion, ventilation, and dilution,
if the Standard or Known--Air--Infiltration Method is used.
!
WARNING
The Standard Method:
1. The space has no less volume than 50 cubic feet per 1,000
Btuh of the maximum input ratings for all gas appliances
installed in the space and
2. The air infiltration rate is not known to be less than 0.40
air changes per hour (ACH).
The Known Air Infiltration Rate Method shall be used, if the
infiltration rate is known to be:
1. Less than 0.40 ACH and
2. Equal to or greater than 0.10 ACH
Infiltration rates greater than 0.60 ACH shall not be used. The
minimum required volume of the space varies with the number of
ACH and shall be determined per Table 3 or Equations 1 and 2.
Determine the minimum required volume for each appliance in
the space and add the volumes together to get the total minimum
required volume for the space.
Table 3 -- Minimum Space Volumes were determined by using
the following equations from the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1--2012/NFPA 54--2012, 9.3.2.2:

FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, and/orproperty damage.
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 the back of the furnace.
The furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic or crawl space
on either the left--hand (LH) or right--hand (RH) side. The furnace
can be hung from floor joists, rafters or trusses or installed on a
non--combustible platform, blocks, bricks or pad.
Suspended Furnace
The furnace may be supported under each end with threaded rod,
angle iron or metal plumber’s strap as shown. (See Fig. 15 and
16.) Secure angle iron to bottom of furnace as shown.
Heavy--gauge sheet metal straps (plumber’s straps) may be used
to suspend the furnace from each bottom corner. To prevent
screws from pulling out, use 2 #8 x 3/4--in. (19 mm) screws into
the side and 2 #8 x 3/4--in. (19 mm) screws in the bottom of the
furnace casing for each strap. (See Fig. 15 and 16.) If the screws
are attached to ONLY the furnace sides and not the bottom, the
straps must be vertical against the furnace sides and not pull away
from the furnace sides, so that the strap attachment screws are not
in tension (are loaded in shear) for reliable support.
Platform Furnace
Construct working platform at location where all required furnace
clearances are met. (See Fig. 2 and 17.) For furnaces with 1--in.
(25 mm) clearance requirement on side, set furnace on
noncombustible blocks, bricks or angle iron. For crawl space
installations, if the furnace is not suspended from the floor joists,
the ground underneath furnace must be level and the furnace set
on blocks or bricks.
Roll--Out Pr
Provide a minimum 17--3/4 in. x 22 in. (451 mm x 559 mm)
piece of sheet metal for flame roll--out protection in front of
burner area for furnaces closer than 12 inches (305 mm) above
the combustible deck or suspended furnaces closer than 12 inches
(305 mm) to joists. The sheet metal MUST extend underneath the
furnace casing by 1 in. (25 mm) with the door removed.
The bottom closure panel on furnaces of widths 17--1/2 in. (445
mm) and larger may be used for flame roll--out protection when
bottom of furnace is used for return air connection. See Fig. 17
for proper orientation of roll--out shield.

There are no provisions for an internal filter rack in these
furnaces.
A field--supplied accessory external filter is required.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the external filter rack for
assembly and installation options.
DUCTS
AIR
General Requir
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
Design Guidelines 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 5 -- 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.
NOTE: Flexible connections should be used between ductwork
and furnace to prevent transmission of vibration. Ductwork
passing through unconditioned space should be insulated and
sealed 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 Tr
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.
Supply Air
For a furnace not equipped with a cooling coil, the outlet duct
shall be provided with a removable access panel. This opening
shall be accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of
such a size that the heat exchanger can be viewed for possible
openings using light assistance or a probe can be inserted for
sampling the airstream. The cover attachment shall prevent leaks.

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, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54.
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.

manufacturers’ instructions.
These furnaces are design--certified as Category I furnaces in
accordance with ANSI Z21.47--2012/CSA 2.3--2012 and operate
with a non--positive vent static pressure to minimize the potential
for vent gas leakage. Category I furnaces operate with a flue loss
not less than 17 percent to minimize the potential for
condensation in the venting system. These furnaces are approved
for common venting and multistory venting with other fan
assisted or draft hood equipped appliances in accordance with the
NFGC, the local building codes, and furnace and vent
manufacturers’ instructions. The following information and
warning must be considered in addition to the requirements
defined in the NFGC.
1. If a vent (common or dedicated) becomes blocked, the furnace will be shut off by the draft safeguard switch located
on the vent elbow.
2. Do not vent this Category I furnace into a single--wall dedicated or common vent. The dedicated or common vent is
considered to be the vertical portion of the vent system
that terminates outdoors.
3. Vent connectors serving Category I furnaces shall not be
connected into any portion of a mechanical draft system
operating under positive pressure.
4. Do not vent this appliance with any solid fuel burning appliance.
5. Category I furnaces must be vented vertically or nearly
vertically unless equipped with a listed power venter.
6. Do not vent this appliance into an unlined masonry chimney. Refer to Chimney Inspection Chart, Fig. 33.

APPLIANCE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
Appliance operation has a significant impact on the performance
of the venting system. If the appliances are sized, installed,
adjusted, and operated properly, the venting system and/or the
appliances should not suffer from condensation and corrosion.
The venting system and all appliances shall be installed in
accordance with applicable listings, standards, and codes.
The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the design
heating load requirement plus any margin that occurs because of
furnace model size capacity increments. Heating load estimates
can be made using approved methods available from Air
Conditioning Contractors of America (Manual J); American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air--Conditioning
Engineers; or other approved engineering methods. Excessive
oversizing of the furnace could cause the furnace and/or vent to
fail prematurely. When a metal vent or metal liner is used, the
vent must be in good condition and be installed in accordance
with the vent manufacturer’s instructions.

Low gas input rate causes low vent gas temperatures, causing condensation and corrosion in the furnace and/or venting system. Derating is permitted only for altitudes above
2000 ft. (610 M).
3. Adjust the air temperature rise to the midpoint of the rise
range or slightly above. Low air temperature rise can cause
low vent gas temperature and potential for condensation
problems.
4. Set the thermostat heat anticipator or cycle rate to reduce
short cycling.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen
compounds which include chlorides, fluorides, bromides, and
iodides. These compounds are found in many common home
PG8MEA
products such as detergent, paint, glue, aerosol spray, bleach,
cleaning solvent, salt, and air freshener, and can cause corrosion
of furnaces and vents. Avoid using such products in the
combustion--air supply. Furnace use during construction of the
building could cause the furnace to be exposed to halogen
compounds, causing premature failure of the furnace or venting
system due to corrosion.
Vent dampers on any appliance connected to the common vent
can cause condensation and corrosion in the venting system. Do
not use vent dampers on appliances common vented with this
furnace.

CAUTION
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.
48.)
Furnace gas input rate on rating plate is for installations at
altitudes up to 2000 ft. (610 M). Furnace input rate must be
within +/--2 percent of furnace rating plate input. For altitudes
above 5500 ft. (1676 M), a field--supplied high altitude pressure
switch is required.
1. Determine the correct gas input rate.
The input rating for altitudes above 2,000 ft. (610 M) must
32
Page 33
be reduced by 4 percent for each 1,000 ft. (305 M) above
sea level. For installations below 2000 ft. (610 M), refer to
the unit rating plate. For installations above 2000 ft. (610
M), multiply the input on the rating plate by the de--rate
multiplier in Table 8 for the correct input rate.
2. Determine the correct orifice and manifold pressure adjustment. There are two different orifice and manifold adjustment tables. All models in all positions, except Low NOx
models in downflow or horizontal positions, use Table 12
(22,000 Btuh/Burner).
Low NOx models in the downflow or horizontal positions
must use Table 13 (21,000 Btuh/Burner). See input listed
on rating plate.
a. Obtainaverage yearly gasheat value(at installed altitude)
from local gas supplier.
b. Obtain average yearly gas specific gravity from local gas
supplier.
c. Find installation altitude in Table 12 or 13.
d. Find closest natural gas heat value and specific gravity
in Table 12 or 13.
e. Follow heat value and specific gravity lines to point of
intersection to find orificesize and manifold pressure settings for proper operation.
f. Check and verify burner orifice size in furnace. NEVER
ASSUME ORIFICE SIZE. ALWAYS CHECK AND
VERIFY.
g. Replace orifice with correct size if required by Table 10,
11, 12 and 13. Use only factory--supplied orifices. See
EXAMPLE 1.

Specific gravity = 0.62
Therefore: Orifice No. 43*
Manifold pressure: 3.7--In. W.C.
*Furnace is shipped with No. 43 orifices.
In this example all main burner orifices are the correct
size and do not need to be changed to obtain proper input
rate.
3. Adjust manifold pressure to obtain correct input rate.
a. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to OFF.
b. Remove manifold pressuretapplug from gas valve. (See
Fig. 47.)
c. Connect a water column manometer or similar device to
manifold pressure tap.
d. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to ON.
e. Manually close blower door switch.
f. Set thermostat to call for heat.
g. Remove regulator seal cap and turn regulator adjusting
screw counterclockwise (out) to decrease input rate of
clockwise (in) to increase input rate.
h. Install regulator seal cap.
i. Leave manometer or similar device connected and pro-
ceed to Step 4.
NOTE: DO NOT set manifold pressure less than 3.2--In. W.C. or
more than 3.8--In. W.C. for natural gas at sea level. If manifold
pressure is outside this range, change main burner orifices. Refer
to Table 10, 11, 12 and 13.
NOTE: If orifice hole appears damaged or it is suspected to have
been redrilled, check orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of
correct size. Never redrill an orifice. A burr--free and squarely
aligned orifice hole is essential for proper flame characteristics.
4. Verify natural gas input rate by clocking meter.
NOTE: Gas valve regulator adjustment cap must be in place for
proper input to be clocked.
a. Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots served by the
meter.
b. Run furnace for 3 minutes in heating operation.
c. Measure time (in sec) for gas meterto complete 1revolu-
tion and notereading. The2 or5 cubic feet dialprovides
a more accurate measurement of gas flow.
d. Refer to Table 12 for cubic ft. of gas per hr.
e. Multiply gasrate (cu ft./hr) by heating value (Btuh/cu ft.)
to obtain input.
If clocked rate does not match required input from Step 1,
increase manifold pressure to increase input or decrease manifold
pressure to decrease input. Repeat steps b through e until correct
input is achieved. Reinstall regulator seal cap on gas valve.
5. Set temperature rise. The furnace must operate within the
temperature rise ranges specified on the furnace rating
plate. Do not exceed temperature rise range specified on
unit rating plate. Determine the temperature rise as follows:
NOTE: Blower access door must be installed when taking
temperature rise reading. Leaving blower access door off will
result in incorrect temperature measurements.

INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
These instructions are written as if the furnace is installed in an
upflow application. An upflow furnace application is where the
blower is located below the combustion and controls section of
the furnace, and conditioned air is discharged upward. Since this
furnace can be installed in any of the 4 positions shown in Fig. 4,
you must revise your orientation to component location
accordingly.
ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND
WIRING
The electrical ground and polarity for 115--v wiring must be
properly maintained. Refer to Fig. 25 for field wiring information
and to Fig. 54 for furnace wiring information.
NOTE: If the polarity is not correct, the STATUS LED on the
control will flash rapidly and prevent the furnace from heating.
The control system also requires an earth ground for proper
operation of the control and flame--sensing electrode.
The 24--v circuit contains an automotive--type, 3--amp. fuse
located on the control. (See Fig. 24.) Any shorts of the 24--v
wiring during installation, service, or maintenance will cause this
fuse to blow. If fuse replacement is required, use ONLY a 3--amp.
fuse. The control LED will display status code 24 when fuse
needs to be replaced.
Proper instrumentation is required to service electrical controls.
The control in this furnace is equipped with a Status Code LED
(Light--Emitting Diode) to aid in installation, servicing, and
troubleshooting. Status codes can be viewed at the sight glass in
blower access door. The furnace control LED is either ON
continuously, rapid flashing, or a code composed of 2 digits. The
first digit is the number of short flashes, the second digit is the
number of long flashes.
For an explanation of status codes, refer to service label located
on blower access door or Fig. 50 and the troubleshooting guide
which can be obtained from your distributor.
See Fig. 55 for a brief Troubleshooting Guide.
For Controls With an Amber
The stored status code will not be erased from the control
memory, if 115-- or 24--v power is interrupted.
1. To retrieve status code, proceed with the following:
NOTE: NO thermostat signal may be present at control, and all
blower--OFF delays must be completed.
a. Leave 115--v power to furnace turned on.
b. Remove outer access door.
c. Look into bloweraccessdoorsightglass for currentLED
status.
d. BRIEFLY remove insulated terminal wire fromthe draft
safeguard (DSS) switch until LED goes out, then reconnect it.
NOTE: If wire to LS or DSS is disconnected longer than 4 sec,
main blower starts, and retrieval request is ignored.
2. When above items have been completed, the LED flashes

CLEANING HEAT
The following steps should be performed by a qualified
service agency:
NOTE: If the heat exchangers get a heavy accumulation of soot
and carbon, they should be replaced rather than trying to clean
them thoroughly. A heavy 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, incorrect size or damaged manifold
orifice( s), improper gas, or a restricted heat exchanger. Action
must be taken to correct the problem.
If it becomes necessary to clean the heat exchangers because of
dust or corrosion, proceed as follows:
1. Turn OFF gas and electrical power to furnace.
2. Remove outer access door.
3. Disconnect vent connector from furnace vent elbow.

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
available soap solution made specifically for the detection of
leaks to check all connections.
Sequence of Operation
NOTE: 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 manifold bracket
screw. Using the schematic diagram in Fig. 54, 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),
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.
1. Heating
(See Fig. 25 for thermostat connections.)
The wall thermostat “calls for heat,” closing the R--to--W
circuit. The furnace control performs a self--check, verifies
the pressure switch contacts PRS are open, and starts the
inducer motor IDM.
a. Inducer Prepurge Period-- As the inducer motor IDM
comes uptospeed, thepressureswitch contacts PRS close
to begin a 15--second prepurge period.
b. Igniter Warm--Up-- At the end of the prepurge period,
the Hot--Surface igniter HSIis energized for a 17--second
igniter warm--up period.
c. Trial--for--Ignition Sequence-- When the igniter warm--
up period is completed, the main gas valve relay contacts
GVR close to energize the gas valve GV, the gas valve
opens,and 24 vac power is supplied for a field--installed
humidifier at the HUM terminal. The gas valveGV permitsgas flow to theburners whereitisignited by theHSI.
Five seconds after the GVR closes, a 2--second flame

gized until theflame is sensedor until the 2--second flame
proving period begins.
d. Flame--Proving-- When theburnerflameisproved atthe
flame--proving sensor electrode FSE, thefurnace control
CPU begins the blower--ON delay period and continues
to hold the gas valve GV open. If the burnerflame is not
proved within two seconds, the control CPU will close
the gas valve GV, andthe controlCPU will repeattheignition sequence for up to three more Trials--For--Ignition
before going to Ignition--Lockout. Lockout 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, G, R, etc.).
If flameis proved when flameshould not be present,the
furnace control CPUwilllock out of Gas--Heating mode
and operate the inducer motor IDM until flame is no
longer proved.
e. Blower--On Delay-- If the burner flame is proven, the
blower motor is energized on HEAT speed 25 seconds
after the gas valve GV is energized.
Simultaneously, the electronic air cleaner terminal
EAC--1 is energized and remains energized aslong as the
blower motor BLWM is energized.
f. Blower--OffDelay-- When the thermostat issatisfied, the
R--to--W circuit is opened, de--energizing the gas valve
GV, stopping gas flow to the burners, and de--energizing
the humidifier terminal HUM. The inducer motor IDM
will remain energizedfor a 5--second post--purge period.
The blower motor BLWM and air cleaner terminal
EAC--1 will remain energized for 90, 120, 150, or 180
seconds(dependingon theblower--OFFdelayselection).
The furnacecontrol CPU isfactory--setfora120--second
blower--OFF delay.
The thermostat “calls for cooling.”
a. Single--Speed Cooling
(See Fig. 25 -- 32 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 COOL speed.
The electronic air cleaner terminal EAC--1 is energized
with 115vacwhen theblower motor BLWM isoperating.
When the thermostat is satisfied, the R--to--G--and--Y circuitsareopened.The outdoor unitwillstop,and the furnaceblower motorBLWMwillcontinueoperatingonthe
COOL speed for an additional90seconds. Jumper Y/Y2
to DHUM to reduce the cooling off--delay to 5 seconds.
(See Fig. 24.)
b. Two--Speed Cooling
(See Fig. 25 -- 32 for thermostat connections.)
The thermostat closes the R--to--G--and--Y1 circuits for
low--coolingorclosestheR--to--G--and--Y1--and--Y2circuits 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 on low--cool speed (same speed as FAN). The
R--to--Y1--and--Y2 circuitsstarttheoutdoor unitonhigh-cooling speed, and the R--to--G and-- Y/Y2 circuits start
the furnace blower motor BLWM on COOL speed.
The electronic air cleaner terminal EAC--1 is energized
with 115 vac whenever the blowermotor BLWMis 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 furnaceblower BLWM and electronic air cleaner terminal EAC--1 will remain energized
for an additional90 seconds. Jumper Y1toDHUM to reduce the cooling off--delay to 5 seconds. (See Fig. 24.)
3. Humidity Sensing Thermostat Mode
(See Fig. 26 -- 29 for humidity sensing thermostat connections.)
The dehumidification output, DHUM on the humidity
sensing thermostat should be connected to the furnace
control thermostat terminal 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 on the DHUM input, the furnace control operates
in humidity sensing thermostat mode. If the DHUM input
is low for more than 48 hours, the furnace control reverts
back to non--humidity sensing thermostat mode.
The cooling operation described in item 2. above also applies to operation with a humidity sensing thermostat. The
exceptions are listed below:
a. When the R--to--G--and--Y1 circuit is closed and there is
ademandfordehumidification,thefurnaceblowermotor
BLWM will continue running at low--cool speed (same
speed as FAN).
b. When the R--to--G--and--Y/Y2 circuit is closed and there
isademand fordehumidification, thefurnaceblowermotor BLWM will drop the blower speed from COOL to
HEAT for a maximum of 10 minutes before reverting
back to COOL speed. If there is still a demand for dehumidification after 20 minutes, the furnace control CPU
will drop the blower speed back to HEAT speed. This alternating 10-- minute cycle will continue as long as there
is a call for cooling.
c. When the “call for cooling” is satisfied and there is a de-
mand for dehumidification, thecooling blower--off delay
is decreased from 90 seconds to 5 seconds.
4. Continuous Blower Mode
When the R--to--G circuit is closed by the thermostat, the
blower motor BLWM will operate on continuous--blower
speed (can be adjusted to FAN, HEAT, or COOL speed) at
the thermostat. Factory default is FAN speed. Terminal
EAC--1 is energized as long as the blower motor BLWM is
energized. During a call for heat, the blower BLWM will
stop during igniter warm--up (17 seconds), ignition (7
seconds), and blower--ON delay (25 seconds), allowing
the furnace heat exchangers to heat up more quickly, then
restarts at the end of the blower--ON delay period at HEAT
speed.
In heating, the furnace control CPU will hold the blower
motor BLWM at HEAT speed during the selected blower-OFF delay period before reverting to continuous--blower
speed. When the thermostat “calls for low--cooling,” the
blower motor BLWM will switch to operate at low--cool
speed (same speed as FAN). When the thermostat is satisfied, the blower motor BLWM will operate an additional
90 seconds on low--cool speed (same speed as FAN) before reverting back to continuous--blower speed.
When the thermostat “calls for high--cooling”, the blower
motor BLWM will operate at COOL speed. When the
thermostat is satisfied, the blower motor BLWM will operate an additional 90 seconds on COOL speed before reverting back to continuous--blower speed.
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 speeds from the
46
Page 47
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 speed from the factory setting of FAN to HEAT speed. Momentarily turning
off the FAN switch again at the thermostat will shift the
continuous--blower speed from HEAT to COOL. Repeating the procedure will shift the continuous--blower speed
from COOL to FAN speed. The selection can be changed
as many times as desired and is stored in the memory to be
automatically used following a power interruption.
5. Heat pump
(See Fig. 25 -- 32 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. When the R--to-W--and--Y1 or R--to--W--and--Y1--and--G circuits are energized the furnace control CPU will switch to or turn on the
blower motor BLWM at HEAT speed, and begin a heating
cycle. The blower motor BLWM will remain on until the
end of the prepurge period, then shut off for 24 seconds
then come back on at HEAT speed. When the W input signal disappears, the furnace control begins a normal inducer
post--purge period and the blower remains running at
HEAT speed for the selected blower--OFF delay period
then switches to low--cool speed (same speed as FAN). If
the R--to--W--and--Y1--and--G signals disappear at the
same time, the blower motor BLWM will remain on for
the selected blower--OFF delay period. If the R--to-W--and--Y1 signals disappear, leaving the G signal, the
blower motor BLWM will remain on for the selected
blower--OFF delay period then switch to continuous-blower speed. When the R--to--W--and--Y/Y2, R--to-W -- a n d -- Y / Y 2 -- a n d -- G , R -- t o -- W -- a n d -- Y 1 -- a n d -- Y / Y 2 , o r
R--to--W-- and--Y1--and--Y/Y2--and--G circuits are energized the furnace control CPU will switch to or turn on the
blower motor BLWM at HEAT speed, and begin a heating
cycle. The blower motor BLWM will remain on until the
end of the prepurge period, then shut off for 24 seconds
then come back on at HEAT speed. When the W input signal disappears, the furnace control begins a normal inducer
post--purge period and the blower switches to COOL
speed after a 3 second delay. If the R--to--W--and-Y/Y2--and--G or R--to--W--and--Y1--and --Y/Y2--and--G
signals disappear at the same time, the blower motor
BLWM will remain on for the selected blower--OFF delay
period. If the R--to--W--and--Y/Y2 or R--to--W--and-Y1--and--Y/Y2 signals disappear, leaving the G signal, the
blower motor BLWM will remain on for the selected
blower--OFF delay period then switch to continuous
blower speed.

Refer to the service label. (See Fig. 50.) The Troubleshooting
Guide (See Fig. 55) can be a useful tool in isolating furnace
operation problems. Beginning with the word “Start,” answer
each question and follow the appropriate arrow to the next item.
The Guide will help to identify the problem or failed component.
After replacing any component, verify correct operation
sequence.
