SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to
gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified
personnel should install, repair, or service heating equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such
as cleaning coils, or cleaning and replacing filters. All other
operations should be performed by trained service personnel.
When working on heating equipment, observe precautions in
literature, on tags, and on labels attached to or shipped with the
unit, and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. In the United States, follow all safety
codes including the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) NFPA
54--2009/ANSI Z223.1--2009. In Canada, refer to the National
Standard of Canada Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes
(NSCNGPIC), CSA B149.1--10.
Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher
available during start--up, adjustment procedures, and service calls.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety--alert symbol
When you see this symbol on the furnace and in instructions or
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION, and NOTE. The words DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION are used with the safety--alert symbol. DANGER
identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe
personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which
could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to
identify unsafe practices which may result in minor personal injury,
or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight
suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or
operation.
INSTRUCTIONS
This guide uses your expertise and observations to lead you to the
trouble spot as efficiently as possible. This is only intended as a
guide and should not be used blindly. Your experience and
expertise are of high value when troubleshooting this unit. Do not
disregard all of your instincts.
The variable speed furnace control was designed with diagnostic
capabilities built in. An AMBER LED is used to flash a status
code which will lead you to one of the sections as listed in the
Index.
You should ALWAYS begin in the START HERE section (see
Index for page number) which will guide you to the appropriate
section where a minimal number of steps will be used to correct the
problem. Once in a section, read the ACTION. An ACTION may
have a number in the GO TO column. Do whatever the ACTION
says, then proceed to the step indicated in the GO TO column.
If the ACTION is a question (a question will have a number in the
YES or NO column), answer it YES or NO. If the answer is YES,
go to the step indicated in the YES column. If the answer is NO,
go to the step indicated in the NO column.

Let’s try our guide out using the EXAMPLE section below, and see how it works. Suppose that the problem is a defective low heat pressure
switch (for example the contacts will not open). This is an internal problem and cannot simply be seen. We go to the START HERE section
to Step 1.
EXAMPLE
Start Here Section
STEP
1.Step 1 tells usto removemain furnace door first and NOT TO REMOVE THE BLOWER
ACCESS PANEL. It then asks the question, “Is AMBER LED status light on?”. If the low
heat pressure switch was defective, a pressure switch did not open status code would be
flashing, so the answer is YES. Wego to Step 2.
2.Step 2 asks the question, “Is the AMBER LED status light blinking rapidly without a
pause?”. If the low heat pressure switch was defective, a pressure switch did not open
status codewould be flashing, so the answer is NO. Wego to Step 4.
4.Step 4 asks the question, “Is the AMBER LED status light blinking ON/OFF slowly with a
combination of short and long flashes?”. If the low heat pressure switch was defective, a
pressure switch did not open status code would be flashing, so the answer is YES. We go
to Step 5.
5.Step 5 tells us to determinethe status code. The status code is a 2 digit number with the
first digit determined by thenumber of short flashes and the second digit by the number of
long flashes. So we count the short and long flashes and see that status code 23 is flashing
andgotoStep6.

GENERAL
The furnace must have a 115--vac power supply properly
connected and grounded. Correct polarity must be maintained to
enable gas heating operation.
The gas service pressure must not exceed 0.5 psig (14--in. W.C.),
andnolessthan0.16psig(4.5--in.W.C.).
Thermostat wire connections to the furnace at R and W/W1 are the
minimum required for gas heating operation.W2 must be
connected for 2--stage heating thermostats.Y/Y2 and G are
required to be connected to the furnace for single--stage cooling
and heat pumps. Y1, Y/Y2, and G are required for two--stage
cooling and heat pumps.G is required for continuous--fan.
OM--24V is required for some clock thermostats.These
C
connections must be made at the 24--vac terminal block on the
furnace control. (See Appendix A)
This furnace can be installed with either a single--stage heat/cool or
a two--stage heat/cool thermostat.
!
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit damage.
This furnace is equipped with a manual reset switch in the gas
control area. The switch will open and shut off power to the
gas valve, if a flame rollout or overheating condition occurs in
the gas control area. DO NOT bypass the switch. Correct
inadequate combustion-air supply, component failure before
resetting the switch.
Before operating the furnace, check each manual reset switch for
continuity. If necessary, press and release the button to reset the
switch.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Using the schematic diagram in Appendix A, 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 access panel 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. SINGLE--STAGE THERMOSTAT AND TWO--STAGE
HEATING (ADAPTIVE MODE)
NOTE:The low--heat only switch SW1-2 selects either the
low-heat only operation mode when ON, (see item 2. below) or the
adaptive heating mode when OFF in response to a call for heat.
(See Fig. 1.) When the W2 thermostat terminal is energized it will
always cause high-heat operation when the R to W circuit is closed,
regardless of the setting of the low-heat only switch.
This furnace can operate as a two--stage furnace with a single--stage
thermostat because the furnace control CPU includes a
programmed adaptive sequence of controlled operation, which
selects low--heat or high--heat operation. 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 low-- or high--heat. If the furnace
starts up in low--heat, the control CPU determines the low--heat
on--time (from 0 to 16 minutes) which is permitted before
switching to high--heat.
If the power is interrupted, the stored history is erased and the
control CPU will select low--heat for up to 16 minutes and then
switch to high--heat, as long as the thermostat continues to call for
heat. Subsequent selection is based on stored history of the
thermostat cycle times.
The wall thermostat ”calls for heat”, closing the R to W circuit.
The furnace control performs a self--check, verifies the low--heat
and high--heat pressure switch contacts LPS and HPS are open.
a. Inducer Prepurge Period -- The furnace control CPU
turns on inducer motor IDM and slowly increases the
inducer motor speed. When the low--heat pressure
switch LPS 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
2
resistance. This evaluation is then used to determine the
required RPM necessary to operate the inducer motor
during the low--heat prepurge period and low--heat
mode.
NOTE: The heat cycle can start in either high-- or low--heat. If a
high--heat cycle is initiated, the furnace control CPU will
de--energize the high--heat pressure switch relay HPSR to close the
NC contact and continues to increase the inducer motor speed after
the low--heat pressure switch LPS closes. When the high--heat
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 resistance. This evaluation is then
used to determine the required RPM necessary to operate the
inducer motor in high--heat mode.
b. 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.
c. 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--M. The gas valve solenoid GV--M permits gas
flow to the burners where it is ignited. After 5 seconds,
the igniter HSI is de--energized and a 2--second Flame-Proving period begins.
If the furnace control CPU selects high-heat operation, the
high-heat gas valve solenoid GV-HI is also energized.
d. 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--M open. If the
burner flame is not proved within two seconds, the
control CPU will close the gas valve GV--M, and the
control CPU will repeat the ignition sequence for up to
three more Trials--For--Ignition before going to
Ignition--Lockout. Lockout will be reset automatically
after three hours, 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.
e. Inducer Speed Change – If the cycle starts in low--heat,
the furnace control CPU reduces the inducer speed
slightly after flame sense. If the cycle starts in high-heat, the furnace control CPU increases the inducer
speed 15 seconds after flame sense. The reduction in
speed in low--heat is to optimize combustion for
maximum efficiency.
f. Blower--On delay – If the burner flame is proven the
blower--ON delay for low--heat and high--heat are as
follows:
Low--heat -- 30 seconds after the gas valve GV-M is
opened the blower motor BLWM is turned ON at
low-heat airflow.
High-heat – 35 seconds after the gas valve GV-M is opened the
BLWM is turned ON at high-heat airflow.
Simultaneously, the humidifier terminal HUM and electronic air
cleaner terminal EAC--1 are energized and remain energized
throughout the heating cycle.
g. Switching from Low-- to High--Heat -- If the furnace
control CPU switches from low-heat to high-heat, the
furnace control CPU will de-energize the high-heat
pressure switch relay HPSR to close the NC contact and
slowly increase the inducer motor speed until the
high-heat pressure switch HPS closes. When the
high-heat pressure switch HPS closes, the high-heat gas
valve solenoid GV-HI is energized and the inducer
motor RPM is noted by the furnace control CPU. The
RPM is used to evaluate vent system resistance. This
evaluationisthenusedtodeterminetherequiredRPM
necessary to operate the inducer motor in high-heat
mode. The blower motor BLWM will transition to
high-heat airflow five seconds after the furnace control
CPU switches from low-heat to high-heat.
Switching from High- to Low-Heat – The furnace
control CPU will not switch from high-heat to low-heat
while the thermostat R to W circuit is closed when using a single-stage thermostat.
h.Blower--Off Delay -- When the thermostat is satisfied, the
R to W circuitis opened,de--energizing the gas valveGV-M,stoppinggasflowtotheburners,and de--energizingthe
humidifierterminalHUM. Theinducer motor IDMwillremain energized for a 15--second post--purge period. The
blower motorBLWM and aircleaner terminal EAC--1will
remain energized at low--heat airflow or transition to low-heat airflow for 90, 120, 150, or 180 seconds (depending
on selection at blower--OFF delay switches). The furnace
controlCPU is factory--set for a120--second blower--OFF
delay.
2. TWO--STAGE THERMOSTAT AND TWO--STAGE
HEATING
NOTE: In this mode the low--heat only switch SW1--2 must be
ON to select the low--heat only operation mode in response to
closing the thermostat R to W1 circuit. Closing the thermostat R to
W1--and--W2circuits always causeshigh--heat operation,
regardless of the setting of the low--heat only switch.
The wall thermostat ”calls for heat”, closing the R to W1 circuit for
low--heat or closing the R to W1--and--W2 circuits for high--heat.
The furnace control performs a self--check, verifies the low--heat
and high--heat pressure switch contacts LPS and HPS are open, and
starts the inducer motor IDM in high--speed.
The start up and shut down functions and delays described in item
1. above apply to the 2--stage heating mode as well, except for
switching from low-- to high--Heat and vice versa.
a. Switching from Low-- to High--Heat -- If the
thermostat R to W1 circuit is closed and the R to W2
circuit closes, the furnace control CPUwill de-energize
the high-heat pressure switch relay HPSR to close the
NC contact and slowly increase the inducer motor speed
until the high-heat pressure switch HPS closes. When
the high-heat pressure switch HPS closes, the high-heat
gas valve solenoid GV-HI is energized and the inducer
motor RPM is noted by the furnace control CPU. The
RPM is used to evaluate vent system resistance. This
evaluationisthenusedtodeterminetherequiredRPM
necessary to operate the inducer motor in high-heat
mode. The blower motor BLWM will transition to
high-heat airflow five seconds after the furnace control
CPU switches from low-heat to high-heat.
b. Switching from High-- to Low--Heat -- If the
thermostat R to W2 circuit opens, and the R to W1
circuit remains closed, the furnace control CPU will
energize the high-heat pressure switch relay HPSR to
open the NC contact and slowly decrease the inducer
motor speed to the required low-heat RPM . When the
high-heat pressure switch HPS opens, the high-heat gas
valve solenoid GV-HI is de-energized. When the
inducer motor IDM reduces pressure sufficiently, the
high-heat pressure switch HPS will open. The gas valve
solenoid GV-M will remain energized as long as the
low-heat pressure switch LPS remains closed. The
3
blower motor BLWM will transition to low-heat airflow
five seconds after the R to W2 circuit opens.
3. COOLING MODE
The thermostat ”calls for cooling”.
a. Single--Speed Cooling
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 furnaceblower motor BLWM on cooling airflow. Cooling
airflowisbasedontheA/CselectionshowninTable1.
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. 1.)
b. Single--Stage Thermostat and Two--Speed Cooling
(Adaptive Mode)
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. 1.) 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 CF selection as shown in Table 1.
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 Table 1.
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. 1.)
c. Two--Stage Thermostat and Two--Speed Cooling
NOTE: The air conditioning relay disable jumper ACRDJ must
be disconnected to allow thermostat control of the outdoor unit
staging. (See Fig. 1.)
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 Table 1. 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 Table 1.
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. 1.)
4. DEHUMIDIFY MODE
The dehumidification output, DHUM on the 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 Thermidistat mode. If the
DHUM input is low for more than 48 hours, the furnace control
reverts back to non--dehumidify mode.
The cooling operation described in Item 3 above also applies to
operation with a dehumidify enabled thermostat. The exceptions
are listed below:
a. When the R to G--and--Y1 circuit is closed and there is a
demand for dehumidification, the furnace blower motor
BLWM will drop the blower airflow to 86% of low-cooling airflow which is the true on--board CF selection
as shown in Table 1.
b. When the R to G--and Y/Y2 circuit is closed and there is
a demand for dehumidification, the furnace blower
motor BLWM will drop the blower airflow to 86% of
4
high--cooling airflow. High--cooling airflow is based on
the A/C selection shown in Table 1.
c. 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.
5. SUPER--DEHUMIDIFY MODE
Super--Dehumidify mode can only be entered if the furnace control
is in the dehumidify mode and there is a demand for
dehumidification. The cooling operation described in item 3.
above also applies to operation with a dehumidify enabled
thermostat. The exceptions are listed below:
a. When the R to Y1 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 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
selectionasshowninTable1.
b. 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
selectionshowninTable1.
c. 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.
6. 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 Table 1. Factory default is shown in Table 1.
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, low--heat
airflow, or the midrange 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 (60 seconds in
low--heat, and 35 seconds in high--heat), allowing the furnace heat
exchangers to heat up more quickly, then restarts at the end of the
blower--ON delay period at low--heat or high--heat airflow
respectively.
The blower motor BLWM will revert to continuous--blower
airflow after the heating cycle is completed. In high--heat, the
furnace control CPU will drop the blower motor BLWM to
low--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 switch to 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 switch to 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.
a. 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 Table 1. 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 enoughyouwilleventuallyshift the
continuous--blower airflow to the lowest CF selection as shown in
Table 1. The selection can be changed as many times as desired
and is stored in the memory to be automatically used following a
power interruption.
7. HEAT PUMP DEFROST
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, low--heat airflow, or
the midrange 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 heating
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 low--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.
8. COMPONENT TEST
The furnace features a component test system to help diagnose a
system problem in the case of a component failure. To initiate the
component test procedure, ensure that there are no thermostat
inputs to the control and all time delays have expired. Turn on
setup switch SW1--6. (See Appendix A)
NOTE:
The component test feature will not operate if the
control is receiving any thermostat signals or until all time
delays have expired.
The component test sequence is as follows:
a. The furnace control CPU turns the inducer motor IDM
ON at medium speed and keeps it ON through step c.
b. After waiting 10 seconds the furnace control CPU turns
the hot surface igniter ON for 15 seconds, then OFF.
c. The furnace control CPU then turns the blower motor
BLWM on at midrange airflow for 15 seconds, then
OFF.
d. After shutting the blower motor OFF the furnace control
CPU shuts the inducer motor IDM.
NOTE:
The EAC terminals are energized when the blower
is operating.
After the component test is completed, 1 or more status codes (11,
25, 41, or 42) will flash. See Service Label on blower access panel
or Service/Status Code Instructions for explanation of status codes.
NOTE:
To repeat component test, turn setup switch
SW1--6 to OFF and then back ON.

Status Code 14
IGNITION LOCKOUT -- This status code indicates the furnace failed to ignite gas and/or prove flame in 4 attempts. The
variable speed furnace control will auto--reset in 3 hours. If the inducer motor is not running during lockout refer to
status code 34.
If the inducer motor is running at full speed during lockout this indicates that flame sense was lost 3 times within 60
minutes of cumulative gas valve operating time after the gas valve was already ON for 70 seconds. It is usually
caused by flame rollout that causes loss of flame sense before the flame rollout switch can trip.
Status Code 15
BLOWER MOTOR LOCKOUT -- This status code indicates the blower failed to reach 250 RPM or the blower failed to
communicate to the variable speed furnace control within 30 seconds after being turned ON in two successive heating
cycles. Control will auto reset after 3 hours. Refer to status code 41.
Status Code 21
GAS HEATING LOCKOUT -- This status code indicates the main gas valve relay MGVR on the variable speed furnace
control is stuck closed or there is a miswire/short to gas valve wiring. Make sure the BLUE wire goes to the gas valve
M terminal and the GREEN/YELLOW wire goes to the gas valve C terminal. The variable speed furnace control will
NOT auto--reset.

Status Code 25
MODEL SELECTION OR SETUP ERROR – If status code 25 only flashes 4 times on power--up the variable speed furnace control is missing its model plug (PL4) and is defaulting to the model selection stored in memory.
If status code 25 flashes continuously it could indicate any of the following:
1. Model plug (PL4) is missing and there is no valid model stored in permanent memory. This will happen if you forget to install the
model plug (PL4) on a service replacement board.
2. Thermostat call with SW1--1 ON.
3. Thermostat call with SW1--6 ON.
4. SW1--1 and SW1--6 both ON together.
5. Two different furnace models twinned.
6. Board does not recognize model plug. Verify model plug part number to model plug table shown on furnace wiring label.
STEP

11.You need to remove the model plug PL4 from the old control and install it on the new replacement control. Once you install the model plug the power to the furnace needs to be
reset because the model plug is only read on power--up.
12.If the model plug is not available from the old control, reference the model plug chart on
the wiring schematic for the correct part number. If absolutely necessary you can install
two resistors into the PL4 connection on the control board. R1 goes across the middle 2
pins and R2 goes acrossthe outer 2 pins. Reference themodel plug chart on theschematic
for the correct resistance values. Resistors can be purchased at a nearby Radio Shack. The
resistorsneed to be within 10% of the stated value. Check with an ohm meter before installing.

Status Code 31
HIGH--HEAT PRESSURE SWITCH OR RELAY DID NOT CLOSE OR REOPENED -- This status code can occur under the scenarios
shown below. Keep in mind that whenever the variable speed furnace control shuts unit down, gas remains off or shuts off immediately,
inducer continues running for 15 seconds, and if the blower is running, it remains running at low heat airflow or reduces to low heat airflow
for the selected off--delay. A miswired gas valve can cause this problem so make sure the BLUE wire goes to the gas valve M terminal and
the GREEN/YELLOW wire goes to the gas valve C terminal.

-- HIGH HEAT
1. PREPURGE -- If the high heat pressure switch HPS does not make within 45 seconds after the low--heat pressure switch LPS made the
variable speed begins flashing status code 31, shuts unit down, waits 2 minutes, stops flashing status code 31, and restarts heating
cycle.
If high heat pressure switch HPS opens before ignition, the variable speed starts flashing status code 31 and ramps inducer RPM up
until the high heat pressure switch HPS remakes. When the high heat pressure switch HPS remakes the variable speed stops flashing
status code31 and continues heating cycle. If high heat pressure switch HPS does not remake within 45 sec after opening, the variable
speed continues flashing status code 31, shuts unit down, waits 2 minutes, stops flashing status code 31, and restarts heating cycle.
2. LOW HEAT TO HIGH HEAT TRANSITION -- If the high heat pressure switch HPS fails to make within 45 seconds after high heat
was requested the variable speed furnace control shuts unit down and begins flashing status code 31. After the blower off--delay is
completed the variable speed will stop displaying status code 31 and if there is a call for heat, begin a new heating cycle. This new
heating cycle will be restricted to high heat.
3. STEADY--STATE -- If the high heat pressure switch HPS opens the variable speed starts flashing status code 31 and ramps inducer
RPM up until the high heat pressure switch HPS remakes. When the high heat pressure switch HPS remakes the variable speed stops
flashing status code 31 and continues heating cycle. If high heat pressure switch HPS does not remake within 45 sec after opening, the
variable speed shuts the unit down and continues flashing status code 31. After the blower off--delay is completed the variable speed
will stop displaying status code 31 and if there is a call for heat, begin a new heating cycle. This new heating cycle will be restricted
to high heat.
4. HIGH HEAT TO LOW HEAT TRANSITION – When using a 2--stage thermostat and W2 is de--energized, the high heat pressure
switch HPS must open within 5 seconds. If the high heat pressure switch HPS does not open within 5 seconds after W2 is de-energized, the variable speed switches back to high heat and starts flashing status code 31. After the call for heat is satisfied and the
blower off--delay is completed the variable speed will stop displaying status code 31.

Note: Since thevariable speed furnacecontrol and the blower motor are continuously communicating you do not actually need to run the blower motor to troubleshoot the PL3 connection.
27.Reconnect PL3 to the variable speed furnace control and connect a DC voltmeter across
terminals PL3--3 YELLOW (+) and PL3--2 GREEN (--). Does the voltage appear to fluctuate more than it did in step 26?
Note: Typical voltmeters will show a fluctuation of .2--vdc to 1--vdc. The amount of fluctuation is not important and you could seeeven more fluctuation depending on the voltmeter
you use.
28.Check the blower motor serial output signal. To do this disconnect PL3 from the furnace
control and connect a DC voltmeter across terminals PL3--4 (+) and PL3--2 (--) on the variable speed furnace control. The voltage should be near 0--vdc but it will fluctuate briefly
several times a second. If you have an analog voltmeter the needle will briefly go high
several times a second. If you have a digital voltmeter with a bar graph it will show a large
change in magnitude on the bar graph several times a second. If you have a plain digital
voltmeter it will show a brief fluctuation in voltage and the magnitude may vary depending
on the volt meter used.
Note: Some voltmeters will not sense this fluctuation at all. Test your voltmeter on a
known good furnace prior to servicing thisproduct.
Note: You can also make a simple blinking light with a 1 KΩ resistor and an LED (RED
works best). These parts can be purchased at a nearby Radio Shack. The schematic is

ECM BLOWER MOTOR DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
The G.E. Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM) shown in Fig. 3 is different than previous generations of variable speed
blower motors. This motor has all of the capabilities of previous ECM blower motors but it does not have to be
pre--programmed at the factory. Instead the variable speed furnace control programs the ECM blower motor upon
application of power to the ECM blower motor via the serial communication link between the variable speed furnace
control and the ECM blower motor. This eliminates the need for a multitude of different ECM blower motors where each
one is programmed for one specific furnace model. The ECM blower motor is energized with 115--vac whenever power is
available at the variable speed furnace control, but operates only when the variable speed furnace control communicates
the proper serial commands to the ECM blower motor at PL13.
The ECM blower motor is first fed 115--vac power through the 5--pin connector PL14. The 115--vac power is then rectified to DC by a diode
module. After rectification, the DC signal is electronically commutated and fed in sequential order to 3 stator windings. The frequency of
commutation pulses determines motor speed.
Setting up the desired airflow CFM for an ECM blower motor is done by setting the A/C or CF selections on the variable speed furnace
control shown in Fig. 1. The ECM blower motor then delivers requested airflow CFM as defined by serial commands received from the
variable speed furnace control.
The ECM blower motor is configured via the variable speed furnace control to react to changes in system static pressures to maintain constant
airflow CFM. The ECM blower motor delivers requested airflow CFM up to about 1.0 in.w.c. of static pressure for most airflow settings.
The variable speed furnace control is pre--programmed and contains all the information relative to each furnace model for all modes of
operation. Blower characteristics for each model (airflow CFM, torque, and speed versus static pressure) are known from laboratory testing.
If any 3 characteristics are known, the fourth can be defined. The airflow CFM is known because of the A/C and CF selections, model plug,
and the thermostat input signals on the variable speed furnace control. The variable speed furnace control then communicates the airflow
CFM to the ECM blower motor. Torque is known by the ECM blower motor because it is directly related to armature current which is
measured by the ECM blower motor control. Speed is measured from the generated back EMF by the ECM motor control. This information
(airflow CFM, torque and speed) are entered into an expression which calculates torque from speed and airflow CFM numbers. If the
calculation does not match stored blower characteristics, torque is adjusted every 0.8 seconds until agreement is reached. The ECM blower
motor does not directly measure static pressure, but does react to changes in static pressure to maintain constant airflow CFM.

The Silicon Nitride igniter in this furnace is not voltage sensitive and will work within the voltage range of 102 to 132 VAC. Hence, there is
no voltage regulation circuits on the furnace control board. A new Silicon Nitride igniter has a normal resistance range of 40 to 70 ohms at
room temperature and is relatively stable over the life of the igniter. The igniter resistance will increase with temperatures above room
temperature.
Gas Valve Ohm
M to C:Resistance cannot be measured with an ohm meter because there is a bridge rectifier in the gas valve circuit.
Hi to C:Resistance cannot be measured with an ohm meter because there is a bridge rectifier in the gas valve circuit.
Power Choke
Run unit in cooling mode, measure motor amp draw before power choke. Then rerun unit in cooling mode, but this time measure amp draw
without power choke in line. The amp draw should be higher without power choke. Some ammeters will register a lower amp draw (look for
a change in amperage).

APPENDIX F
FURNACE STAGING ALGORITHM
On initial thermostat call for heat after power--up, furnace staging algorithm will provide 16 minutes of low heat provided setup switch
SW1--2 is off. If call for heat still exists after operating for 16 minutes in low heat, furnace switches to high heat until the thermostat is
satisfied.
During subsequent calls for heat:
--Low heat run time is calculated based on previous heating cycle.
--High heat run time is not calculated. High heat is energized in 1 of 3 ways and runs until the thermostat is satisfied:
1. After low heat has run for 16 minutes and call for heat is still present.
2. When the furnace staging algorithm (using previous cycle information) determines high heat is necessary for the entire thermostat
cycle.
3. After the calculated low heat on time has elapsed and the call for heat is still present.
— The following flow chart shows how the furnace staging algorithm calculates low heat on times. To predict low heat operation, the
times in Low Heat (LH) and High Heat (HH) on the previous cycle must be known. The furnace staging algorithm uses these
values to determine how much low heat operation will occur on the next call for heat.
— Four examples are shown below to illustrate what the furnace will do on a cold start, coming out of night setback, coming on in low
heat, and coming on in high heat.
EXAMPLE 1:
Furnace ran for 16 minutes in low heat and 5 minutes in high heat during previous call for heat.
LH = 16
HH = 5
Calculate: (228 x 16) + (350 x 5) = 5398
3648 < 5398 < 5600 ⇒ Calculate low heat run time for next cycle.
LH
run time
switch to high heat, if heat call is still present.
= (5600 -- 5398) / 122 = 1.6 ⇒ Next cycle, furnace will run for 2 minutes in low heat and then
EXAMPLE 2:
Furnace ran for 16 minutes in low heat and 10 minutes in high heat during previous call for heat.
LH = 16
HH = 10
Calculate: (228 x 16) + (350 x 10) = 7148
7148 > 5600 ⇒ Next cycle furnace will only run in high heat, low heat run time is 0 min.
EXAMPLE 3:
Furnace ran for 13 minutes in low heat and 5 minutes in high heat during previous call for heat. This can
happen if the furnace staging algorithm calculated 13 minutes based on previous call for heat.
LH = 13
HH = 5
Calculate: (228 x 13) + (350 x 5) = 4714
3648 < 4714 < 5600 ⇒ Calculate low heat run time for next cycle.
LH
run time
= (5600 -- 4714) / 122 = 7.26 ⇒ Next cycle, furnace will run for 7 minutes in low heat and then
switch to high heat, if heat call is still present.
EXAMPLE 4:
Furnace ran for 0 minutes in low heat and 10 minutes in high heat during previous call for heat.
LH = 0
HH = 10
Calculate: (228 x 0) + (350 x 10) = 3500
3500 < 3648 ⇒ Next cycle furnace will only run in low heat for 16 minutes maximum, then switch to high
heat, if heat call is still present.
