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 microprocessor furnace control was designed with diagnostic capabilities built in. LEDs are used to flash a fault code which will lead you to 1 of the subsections as listed in the Index.

You should ALWAYS begin in the START HERE subsection (see Index for page number) which will guide you to the appropriate subsection where a minimal number of steps will be used to correct the problem. If you are very experienced at how this furnace operates and you suspect the problem is either the blower motor, inducer motor, or furnace control board, you can use the quick motor test procedure at the end of the troubleshooting guide to isolate the problem or direct you to appropriate section in main troubleshooting guide.

Once in a subsection, read the statement or question. A statement will have a number in the "GO TO" column. Do whatever the statement says, then proceed to step indicated in the "GO TO" column.

If the step 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 step indicated in "YES" column. If the answer is "NO," go to step indicated in "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-pressure switch (for example will not make). This is an internal problem and cannot simply be seen. We go to the START HERE section to Step 1.

Additional Service Tools are available for current variable speed condensing furnaces. The Advanced Product Monitor Kit KGAFP0101APM includes a harness and diskette that allows communication with the control board through a personal computer (RS-485 adapter required). The ICM Motor Simulator Kit KGASD0101FMS is a plug-in device to help trooubleshoot ICM inducer and blower motors and control boards. Reference price pages for current kit numbers.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

Furnace control must be grounded for proper operation, or control will lock out. Control is grounded through green wire routed to gas valve and burner box screw.

Using schematic diagram (see Appendix A), follow sequence of operation through different modes. This furnace has a new control system. Read and follow wiring diagram carefully.

NOTE: If 115-v power supply to furnace or blower access panel switch is interrupted during a call for heat, blower operates at low-heat speed for 60 sec when power is restored before heating cycle is resumed.

Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

INDEX

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1ÐSelf-Test Mode

The control center goes through a brief self test whenever 115-v or 24-v power is interrupted. The self test takes approximately 2 sec to complete. After power is restored, red (microprocessor) LED briefly comes on. Then green LED comes on for 1 sec, followed by 1 sec where both yellow and green LEDs are on. During this time, the microprocessor is checking itself.

Step 2ÐHeating Mode

When thermostat calls for heat, R-W/W1 circuit closes.

1.Prepurge periodÐThe inducer motor is turned on and slowly comes up to speed. When low-pressure switch closes, inducer motor RPM is noted by microprocessor, and a 25 sec prepurge period begins. The RPM is used to evaluate vent system resistance. This evaluation is then used to determine required RPM necessary to operate inducer in low-heat mode.

NOTE: The heat cycle can start in either high or low heat. If a high-heat cycle is initiated, the inducer continues increasing its speed after low-pressure switch closes. When high-pressure switch closes, inducer motor RPM is noted by microprocessor before the 25 sec prepurge period begins. The RPM is used to evaluate vent system resistance. This evaluation is then used to determine required RPM necessary to operate inducer in high-heat mode.

2.Humidifier (HUM)ÐThe HUM terminal is energized whenever the inducer prepurge period is completed.

3.Ignitor warm upÐAt end of prepurge period, the hot surface ignitor (HSI) is energized for a 17-sec HSI warm-up period.

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

NOTE: The initial heat mode after 115-v or 24-v power interruption will be LOW HEAT. Low heat remains energized for 16 minutes before high heat is initiated, providing thermostat is still calling for heat.

After the initial cycle, the microprocessor evaluates the length of lowand high-heat operating times and calculates optimum length of low and high heat for next heat cycle. This accommodates the heat load requirement seen as a result of thermostat operating time. See Appendix G for details on thermostat staging algorithm.

5.Flame sensingÐWhen burner flame is sensed, the control center holds gas valve open and begins blower on delay period.

NOTE: Ignition sequence repeats 3 additional times before a lockout occurs. Lockout automatically resets after 3 hr, or can be manually reset by turning 115-v or 24-v power off (not at thermostat) for 3 sec minimum, then turning on again.

6.Inducer speed reductionÐIf cycle starts in low heat, inducer speed reduces slightly after the flame sense. If cycle starts in high heat, inducer speed increases 15 sec after flame sense. The reduction in speed in low heat is to optimize combustion for maximum efficiency.

7.Blower on delayÐThe blower starts 60 sec after flame sense if cycle started in low heat or 35 sec after flame sense if cycle started in high heat.

NOTE: The blower starts at approximately 400-500 RPM. After 20 sec, the motor is turned off for 1/10 of a sec where a coast down calibration is done to evaluate resistance of the conditioned air duct system. The microprocessor then determines blower RPM required to provide proper airflow for heating mode.

8.Electronic Air CleanerÐThe EAC-1 terminal is energized whenever the blower operates.

9.Blower off delayÐWhen thermostat is satisfied, the R-W/W1 signal is terminated, de-energizing gas valve (stopping gas flow to burners) and HUM terminal is de-energized.

The blower reduces its speed to low-heat RPM. The blower and EAC remain operating 90, 135, 180, or 225 sec (depending on blower off time selection). The furnace is factory set for a 90 sec blower off delay.

10.Post purgeÐThe inducer continues operating for 15 sec after gas valve is de-energized.

Step 3ÐHeating ModeÐTwo Stage

The control center provides 2-stage heating using a single-stage thermostat. The control center maximizes comfort while optimizing efficiency to meet the demands of the conditioned area when a thermostat R-W/W1 signal is received.

If thermostat control over furnace staging is desired, a 2-stage thermostat can be used. When control center receives a thermostat R-W/W1 and R-W2 signal, high heat is energized and when R-W/W1 signal is received, low heat is energized. This method overrides microprocessor control of high or low heat.

NOTE: When using 2-stage thermostat operation with R-W/W1 and R-W2 signals, setup switch SW-2 MUST be in ON position.

The heat cycle operates as stated in Heating Mode section.

To allow for greater comfort, a 2-stage thermostat control is recommended when zone systems are used.

Step 4ÐEmergency Heat Mode

NOTE: The furnace should not be operated in emergency heat mode for extended periods of time. Operation is only recommended to provide heat until replacement components can be obtained or fault resolved.

In this mode, the microprocessor is bypassed and the motors operate at full speed with high-heat operation. The heat exchangers, motors, and electronics can be overstressed and may reduce the life of the components if operated for an extended period.

NOTE: No safeties are bypassed when using emergency heat mode.

Emergency heat mode can be selected using setup switch SW-4. SW-4 should be used when a fault condition exists or difficult to resolve problems occur. This allows heating until the fault can be corrected.

2

In emergency heat mode, the normal heat mode outlined in Heating Mode section is not followed. The following sequence will occur:

When thermostat calls for heat, the R-W/W-1 circuits close.

1.Prepurge periodÐThe inducer motor is turned on IMMEDIATELY operating at maximum speed, closing lowand high-pressure switches. Prepurge begins 25 sec after highpressure switch closes.

2.Blower onÐThe blower motor is turned on IMMEDIATELY and slowly increases to maximum speed as soon as a call for heat is received. No blower calibration occurs.

3.Electronic Air CleanerÐThe EAC-1 terminal does not operate in emergency heat mode.

4.HumidifierÐThe HUM terminal is energized IMMEDIATELY.

5.Ignitor warm upÐThe HSI is energized for a 17 sec warm-up period after prepurge period is completed.

6.Ignition sequenceÐAfter HSI warm-up period has completed, the gas valve is energized, permitting gas flow to burners where it is ignited. After 5 sec, the HSI is de-energized and a 2-sec flame-sensing period begins.

NOTE: Emergency heat mode only operates in high heat.

7.Flame sensingÐWhen burner flame is sensed, control center holds gas valve open. If burner flame is not sensed, control center de-energizes gas valve and ignition sequence is repeated.

NOTE: Ignition sequence repeats 3 additional times before lockout occurs. Lockout automatically resets after 3 hr, or can be manually reset by turning 115-v or 24-v power off (not at thermostat) for 3 sec minimum, then turning on again. Fault codes will not flash in emergency heat mode.

8.Blower off delayÐWhen thermostat is satisfied, the R-W/W1 signal is terminated, de-energizing gas valve (stopping gas flow to burners) and HUM terminal is de-energized. In addition, blower stops immediately.

9.Post purgeÐPost purge does NOT occur. The inducer stops immediately.

Step 5ÐCooling Mode

When thermostat calls for cooling, the R-G and R-Y/Y2 circuits close.

1.Cooling unitÐThe cooling unit starts when thermostat R-Y signal is received.

2.Blower onÐThe control center starts blower immediately when it receives an R-Y/Y2 and R-G signal. The blower starts at approximately 400-500 RPM. After 20 sec, the blower is turned off for 1/10 of a sec where a coast down calibration is done to evaluate resistance of the conditioned air duct system. The microprocessor then determines blower RPM required to provide selected cooling airflow.

NOTE: In cooling mode, the microprocessor adjusts blower RPM to operate at 400 CFM per ton as selected on the A/C setup switches. Airflow will be reduced to 340 or 315 CFM per ton, depending on board style (See Fig. 1), when a dehumidification demand exists. See Air Conditioning Setup Switches section in Installation, Start-Up and Operating Instructions for details. There is also a chart on schematic in Appendix A.

NOTE: If Y/Y2 thermostat lead is not connected to furnace control center, blower motor operates in continuous fan speed and indoor coil freeze-up may occur.

3.Electronic Air CleanerÐThe EAC-1 terminal is energized whenever blower operates.

4.Cooling unitÐThe cooling unit stops when thermostat R-Y signal is terminated.

5.Blower off delayÐWhen thermostat is satisfied, the R-Y/Y2 and R-G signals are terminated, and blower remains operating for 90 sec. On newer style control boards (See Fig. 1), the blower airflow will drop by 21 percent during the off-delay period when the DE jumper is connected. The DE jumper is only removed to enable the DEHUM input for use with a thermidistat or humidistat for dehumidification purposes.

Step 6ÐHeat Pump Mode

When furnace is operating in heat pump heating mode, R-Y/Y2 and R-G circuits are closed energizing heat pump, and blower operates at cooling speed. When heat pump defrost is required, R-W/W1 circuits close starting gas heat cycle, and blower adjusts to low-heat speed.

1.Prepurge periodÐThe inducer motor is turned on and slowly comes up to speed. When low-pressure switch closes, inducer motor RPM is noted by microprocessor, and a 25 sec prepurge period begins. The RPM is used to evaluate vent system resistance. This evaluation is then used to determine required RPM necessary to operate inducer in low-heat mode.

NOTE: The heat cycle can start in either high or low heat. If a high-heat cycle is initiated, inducer continues increasing its speed after low-pressure switch closes. When high-pressure switch closes, inducer motor RPM is noted by microprocessor before the 25 sec prepurge period begins. The RPM is used to evaluate vent system resistance. This evaluation is used to determine required RPM necessary to operate inducer in high-heat mode.

2.HumidifierÐThe HUM terminal is energized whenever inducer prepurge period is completed.

3.Ignitor warm upÐAfter prepurge period, HSI is energized for 17 sec.

4.Ignition sequenceÐAfter HSI warm-up period is completed, the gas valve is energized, permitting gas flow to the burners where it is ignited. After 5 sec, the HSI is de-energized and a 2-sec flame-sensing period begins.

5.Flame sensingÐWhen burner flame is sensed, control center holds gas valve open.

If burner flame is not sensed, control center de-energizes gas valve and ignition sequence is repeated.

6.Blower off periodÐTen sec after gas valve is energized, the blower stops for 25 sec to allow heat exchangers to warm up.

7.Blower on delayÐAfter blower off period, blower starts.

NOTE: The blower starts at approximately 400-500 RPM. After 20 sec, the motor is turned off for 1/10 of a sec where a coast down calibration is done to evaluate resistance of the conditioned air duct system. The microprocessor then determines blower RPM required to provide proper airflow for heating mode.

8.Electronic Air CleanerÐThe EAC-1 terminal is energized whenever blower operates.

9.Inducer speed reductionÐIf cycle starts in low heat, inducer speed reduces slightly after the flame sense. If cycle starts in high heat, inducer speed increases 15 sec after flame sense. The reduction in speed in low heat is to optimize combustion for maximum efficiency.

10.Call for heat terminatedÐWhen the call for heat is satisfied, the R-W/W1 signal is terminated, de-energizing gas valve (stopping gas flow to burners) and HUM terminal is deenergized.

a.R-W/W1 signal terminated with R-Y/Y2 and R-G still presentÐThe blower changes its speed to cooling RPM.

The blower continues to operate completing a normal blower off delay.

11.Post purgeÐThe inducer continues operating for 15 sec after gas valve is de-energized.

Step 7ÐContinuous Fan Mode

1.Operating with continuous fan only.

a.Call for continuous fanÐThe thermostat closes R-G circuit.

b.Blower onÐThe blower starts immediately.

NOTE: The blower starts at approximately 400-500 RPM. After 20 sec, the motor is turned off for 1/10 of a sec where a coast down calibration is done to evaluate resistance of the conditioned air duct system. The microprocessor then determines blower RPM required to provide proper airflow for heating mode.

NOTE: The continuous fan speed is the same as low-heat speed unless it is field adjusted to another desired airflow. See Continuous Fan Setup Switches section in Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions for details. There is also a chart on schematic diagram shown in Appendix A.

c.Electronic Air CleanerÐThe EAC-1 terminal is energized whenever blower operates, regardless of operating mode.

2.Operating with continuous fan (R-G) and call for heat (R-W/W1) is receivedÐSame as heat pump mode except blower on delay is 10 sec less than the heat mode. After call for heat (R-W/W1) is terminated, the blower remains operating at low-heat speed for selected blower off delay before resuming continuous fan speed.

3.Operating with continuous fan (R-G) and call for cooling (R-Y/Y2) is receivedÐSee Cooling Mode section. After call

for cooling (R-Y/Y2) is terminated, the blower remains operating at cooling speed for 90 sec before resuming continuous fan speed.

Step 8ÐComponent Test

All components are functionally operated except gas valve with component test feature.

This feature helps diagnose a system problem in case of a component failure.

NOTE: Setup switch SW-1 MUST be in OFF position or Fault Code 22 (setup error) will occur.

NOTE: NO thermostat signal may be present at control center, and all blower time delay off periods must be completed.

To initiate component test feature, proceed with the following:

1.Leave 115-v power to furnace turned on.

2.Remove main furnace door.

3.Remove blower access panel.

4.Turn setup switch SW-6 to ON position.

5.Manually close blower access panel door switch.

On some models, blower access panel door switch opens only 24-v power to control center. No component operation can occur. The 115-v power is still present at control center, transformer, inducer motor, and main blower motor. Caution must be taken when manually closing this switch for service purposes. Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

4

When items 1-5 have been completed, the following will occur:

1.The control center goes through a brief self test. This self test takes approximately 2 sec to complete. After door switch is closed, red (microprocessor) LED briefly comes on. Then green LED comes on for 1 sec, followed by 1 sec where both green and yellow LEDs are on. During this time, the microprocessor is checking itself.

2.Inducer motor operates for 20 sec at low speed, operates 20 sec at high speed, then turns off.

3.Hot surface ignitor is energized for 15 sec, then de-energized.

4.Main blower motor operates for 20 sec at low speed, operates for 20 sec at high speed, then turns off.

5.After component operation test is completed, 1 or more fault codes (11, 22, 41, or 42) will flash. See service label on back of main furnace door or Fig. 1 for explanation of fault codes.

NOTE: To repeat component test, turn setup switch SW-6 to OFF and then back to ON.

After component test, perform the following:

1.Release blower panel access door switch and turn setup switch SW-6 to OFF position.

2.If applicable, replace blower access panel and check LED status by removing plug in blower access panel.

3.Reinstall main furnace door if all LEDs are off, indicating furnace is ready to operate when a signal from thermostat is received.

Step 9ÐBypass Humidifier Mode

When setup switch SW-3 BPH is in ON position, RPM calculated for low heat is multiplied by 1.15 for all furnace model sizes. This compensates for increased return-air temperature caused by bypassed air supply.

Step 10ÐDehumidification Mode

A dehumidification input is provided via a 1/4-in. male quickconnect terminal labeled DEHUM, located next to the transformer secondary connections. The DEHUM input acts differently depending on which style of variable speed furnace control you have.

The older style variable speed furnace control (shown in Fig. 1) DOES NOT have a DE connection while the newer style variable speed furnace control (shown in Fig. 1) has a DE connection. The newer style variable speed furnace control is expected to be available by mid 1998. Both of these variable speed furnace controls function the same except the DEHUM logic is reversed. This logic reversal has come about from historical use of a

standard humidistat to do dehumidification since the contacts open on high humidity, thus removing the 24-v signal to initiate dehumidification.

On the older style variable speed furnace controls, a field supplied relay is required between the thermidistat or humidistat control and furnace. The relay coil is connected between DHUM output on the thermidistat control and COM terminal on the furnace control or the humidistat output and COM terminal on the furnace control. Its normally closed contact is connected between R and DEHUM terminals on the furnace control. (See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). When a dehumidify demand exists, relay is de-energized, and normally closed contacts supply 24-v to the furnace DEHUM terminal. As a result, the furnace control reduces the blower airflow by 15 percent to 340 CFM per ton during continuous fan or cooling operation.

On newer style variable speed furnace controls, a field supplied relay IS NOT required. The DEHUM output on the thermidistat control or the humidistat output is connected directly to the DEHUM terminal on the furnace control. In addition, the DE jumper located next to the DEHUM terminal must be removed to enable the DEHUM input. (See Fig. 1 and Fig. 3). When a dehumidify demand exists, the furnace control reduces the blower airflow by 21 percent to 315 CFM per ton during continuous fan or cooling operation.

This blower speed reduction compensates for high humidity conditions during cooling operation on all furnace model sizes. Reference Thermidistat™ Control Installation, Start-up, and Operating Instructions for further details.

Step 11ÐZone Mode

When setup switch SW-5 MZ is in ON position, blower motor control is the same as above except with the following exceptions:

1.While blower is operating in either low heat or continuous fan, the coast down calibration is performed once a minute to update blower RPM for zone damper position changes during a given cycle.

NOTE: Boards with date codes of 9506 or later will not perform a coast down calibration if blower pulse width to blower motor is greater than 60 percent. This prevents nuisance faults from occurring when a high continuous fan CFM has been selected.

2.While blower is operating in either high heat or cooling, blower pulse width to blower motor is frozen when blower RPM is within 10 percent of calculated blower RPM for 5 sec.

Fault Code 13

LIMIT SWITCH LOCKOUTÐThis fault indicates the limit switch has tripped 10 times in a row in high fire or 3 times in a row in low fire during a call for heat. Control will auto-reset in 3 hr.

NOTE: After 2 low-fire limit trips, the control is locked into high-heat mode; however, a third low-heat cycle can be forced due to excessive restriction in air delivery system.

NOTE: Boards with date codes of 9506 or later will lock into high-heat mode after 2 low-fire limit trips and CANNOT be forced into a third low-heat cycle. Therefore, units with these boards can only lock out if the limit switch trips 10 times in a row in high fire during a call for heat.
