SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS
Propane (LP-Gas) is a flammable gas which can cause fires
and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and
colorless. You may not know all the following safety precau
tions which can protect both you and your family from an
accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.
That's your signal to go into immediate action!
• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone.
Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
• Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
• LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as
basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep
out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until firefighters
declare them to be safe.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the
odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must find out if you
can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your
ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your
sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors
in the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor
or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a
gas odor can make it easier to smell.
The odorant in LP-gas is colorless, and it can fade under some
circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak, the
movement of the gas through soil can filter the odorant. Odorants
by point with the members of your household. Someday when
there may not be a minute to lose, everyone's safety will depend
on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the following
-
information, you feel you still need more information, please
contact your gas supplier.
• Use your neighbor's phone and call a trained LP-Gas service
person and the fire department. Even though you may not con
tinue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not re-enter
the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
• Finally, let the service man and firefighters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then check
and relight the gas appliance for you.
in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if
there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls,
masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take
some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could
vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be
more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.
-
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Learn to recognize the odor of LP-gas. Your local LP-Gas
Dealer can give you a "Scratch and Sniff" pamphlet. Use it to
find out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect that
your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas
Dealer.
• If you are not qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform service,
or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If
you are qualified, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas
prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or
making adjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty smell
that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light pilot
lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area where
the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor if there
has been a leak of LP-Gas.
• Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls
of new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people
should be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or
cylinders are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new
tanks, or reinstalled old tanks, if they are filled and allowed
Page 4 12432-9-0107
to set too long before refilling. Cylinders and tanks which
have been out of service for a time may develop internal rust
which will cause odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to
exist, a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have
any question about the gas odor, call your
A periodic sniff test of the LP-gas is a good safety measure
under any condition.
• If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you
think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the same
immediate action recommended above for the occasion when
you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
• If you experience a complete "gas out," (the container is under
no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately. If the
container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air
through openings such as pilot light orifices. If this occurs, some
new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is left open, then
treat the container as a new tank. Always be sure your container
is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container before
it goes completely empty or having it refilled before it is com
pletely empty.

Note: Never use plastic pipe. Check to confirm whether your local
codes allow copper tubing or galvanized.
Note: Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is
always best to consult your local authority and installation code.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:
— ANS Z21.24 Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal Tubing
and Fittings
— ANS Z21.45 Assembled Flexible Appliance Connectors of
Other Than All-Metal Construction
The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority
having jurisdiction. The state of Massachusetts requires that a flexible
appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.
A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of
the unit. Where none exists, or where its size or location is not
adequate, contact your local authorized installer for installation
or relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant
to the action of liquefied petroleum gases. The gas lines must be
checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap
solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if
unexposed, a pressure test should be made.
Never use an exposed flame to check for leaks. Appliance must
be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe
capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with
appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!
A gas valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas
line upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required
by the National Fuel Gas Code that a drip line be installed near
the gas inlet. This should consist of a vertical length of pipe tee
connected into the gas line that is capped on the bottom in which
condensation and foreign particles may collect.

Checking Manifold Pressure
Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure
regulator in the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a mani
fold pressure of approximately 3.5" w.c. at the valve outlet with
the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 5.0" w.c. for the
purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of 7.0" w.c. Propane
gas models will have a manifold pressure approximately 10.0"
w.c. at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a
minimum of 11.0" w.c. for the purpose of input adjustment to a
maximum of 13.0" w.c.
A 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection,
is located on the outlet side of the gas control.
The built-in regulator comes on at approximately 1/4th pressure
and full on in 10 seconds.
Safety Lockout
S8600H module provides 100 percent shutoff, or safety
lockout. If the pilot fails to light within 90 seconds, the
control system will shut down. The control system must
be reset by setting the thermostat below room temperature
for one minute or by turning off power to the module for
one minute.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Installing a Vent Near a Window Ledge,
Other Type of Projection or on Siding (vinyl, aluminum, etc.)
Direct vent furnaces are designed to be installed on a uniform
outside wall. When the wind comes from any angle (up, down or
from either side), it must hit the vent cap equally over both the air
inlet and the flue outlet portions of the vent. Any wall projection,
such as a door or window casing, which disturbs the wind on one
side of the air inlet section will result in back pressure on the flue
section smothering the flame and eventual pilot outage.
When the vent cap is to be installed on siding or it appears that
a projection within 6" of any side of the air inlet section could
shield the air inlet section, the entire vent should be supported
away from the wall at least the distance of the projection. 2" x 4"
framing whose outside dimensions match the overall dimensions of
the mounting plate is recommended. The 2" x 4" framing protects
siding from possible warpage or discoloration. All joints can then
be sealed and painted. The wall depth plus the additional depth
of the 2" x 4" framing should not exceed a total depth of 13" for
DV-55. (See Figure 9)
Vinyl siding vent kit, DV-822, is available from Empire Comfort
Systems, Inc. The depth is 3", which enables the vent cap to be
extended away from siding or projections. The wall depth plus the
additional 3" depth of the vinyl siding vent cap extension should

PILOT FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
The pilot flame (Figure 11) going to the spark must be large enough
to completely cover the sparking area. With the proper flame, only
2 or 3 sparks will occur. More sparks indicate a small pilot flame
and no ignition with spark stopping after approximately 90 seconds
generally means not enough flame.
To adjust pilot flame remove the pilot cover screw on the control valve
(Figure 3, Page 8), and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to reduce
flame. Replace pilot cover screw to eliminate gas leakage.
The pilot flame will appear large. A blue nearly horizontal flame is
proper. The spark gap must be 1/8". A larger gap can result in the
spark occurring some other place. The pilot flame and the spark
gap are factory checked and tested.
After use, cleaning may be required for the proper flame.
MAIN BURNER FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
The correct flame will be a short blue inner flame with a much
larger light blue outer flame. The main burner (Figure 12) shows
the approximate height of each part of the flame for each gas. The
burner does not have a primary air adjustment. The flame will be
correct if the factory-set pressure and orifice opening are used. After
the furnace has been operating, the burner ports may be blocked by
foreign matter carried in by combustion air. Therefore, cleaning
of the burner may be needed for proper flame.
Figure 11
Electrode and pilot burner must be kept clean. Clean through
pilot access hole with a small brush (toothbrush) and water.
To clean burner port disconnect the gas supply to the valve, and
remove the eight screws fastening the burner door. After removing
the burner door from the combustion chamber, remove rear burner,
pilot burner and front burner. With front and rear burners removed
from furnace, force water into the ribbon ports and dry with air
pressure.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS
GENERAL: All furnaces have been fire-tested to check for proper
operation. This includes, main burner flame, pilot flame, fan
operation, fan control, limit control and automatic valve operation.
If the furnace fails to function on initial installation, it is advisable
to re-check the following:
1. 115 volts to the junction box.
2. Inlet gas pressure.
3. The 24 volt system.
4. Type of gas being used and that shown on the rating label.
The Service Department at Empire Comfort Systems, Inc. may
be contacted to assist in servicing furnace or call a qualified
serviceman.
Servicing the Pilot and Main Burners, Pilot Orifice, and Main
Burner Orifices: Disconnect the gas supply at the inlet to the
control valve. Then remove the burner door to which the above
components are attached.
Servicing The Fan Motor: The upper front panel, the shroud
surrounding the fan blade and fan blade must be removed.
Replacing Fan and Oiling the Motor
The fan motor should be cleaned and oiled once each heating season.
To reach the motor, withdraw the metal shroud surrounding the fan
blade by removing the screws on each side. Oil holes are located
on the top at each end of the motor. Use a few drops of #10 motor
oil. To clean the motor, blow air through its ventilation openings
with a vacuum cleaner or low pressure air source.
If fan motor is replaced, the silicone rubber gaskets, see Page 19,
Index No. 4, Part No. 712059, should also be replaced. The gaskets
must be stretched to fit the motor bolts into the gasket holes and then
the motor and gaskets installed on the motor mounting bars.

OPERATION
Module operation can be conveniently divided into two phases
for S8600H. The phases are trial for ignition and main burner
operation.
CHECKOUT
12432-9-0107 Page 15
TRIAL FOR IGNITION
Pilot Ignition
Following call for heat (system start on S8600H), the module
energizes the first main valve operator. The first main valve opens,
which allows gas to flow to the pilot burner. At the same time, the
electronic spark generator in the module produces a 13,000 volt
spark pulse output (at 25 pf load). The voltage generates a spark
at the igniter-sensor that lights the pilot.
If the pilot does not light, or the pilot flame current is not at least
1.0 uA and steady, the module will not energize the second main
valve and the main burner will not light.
Safety Lockout
S8600H provides 100 percent shutoff, or safety lockout. A timer
starts timing the moment the trial for ignition starts. Ignition spark
continues only until the timed trial for ignition period ends. Then
the module goes into safety lockout. Lockout de-energizes the
first main valve operator and closes the first main valve in the gas
control, stopping pilot gas flow. The control system must be reset
by setting the thermostat below room temperature for one minute
or by turning off power to the module for one minute.
Main Burner Operation
When the pilot flame is established, a flame rectification circuit
is completed between the sensor and burner ground. The flame
sensing circuit in the module detects the flame current, shuts off the
spark generator and energizes the second main valve operator. The
second main valve opens and gas flows to the main burner, where
it is ignited by the pilot burner. The flame current also holds the
safety lockout timer in the reset (normal) operating condition.
When the call for heat ends, both main valve operators are deenergized, and both main valves in the gas control close.
Page 16 12432-9-0107
TROUBLESHOOTING
Important
1. The following service procedures are provided as a general
guide.
2. Meter readings between gas control and ignition module must
be taken within the trial for ignition period. Once the ignition module locks out, the system must be reset by setting the
thermostat down for at least one minute before continuing.
3. If any component does not function properly, make sure it is
correctly installed and wired before replacing it.
4. The ignition module cannot be repaired. If it malfunctions, it
must be replaced.
5. Only trained, experienced service technicians should service
intermittent pilot systems.
Perform the
troubleshooting. Then check TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
to pinpoint the cause of the problem. If troubleshooting indicates
an ignition problem, see Ignition System Checks below to isolate
and correct the problem.
Following troubleshooting, perform the
(page 15) again to be sure system is operating normally.
Ignition System Checks
Step 1: Check ignition cable.
Make sure:
A. Ignition cable does not touch any metal surfaces.
B. Ignition cable is no more than 36 inches long.
C. Connections to the ignition module and to the igniter-sensor
are clean and tight.
D. Ignition cable provides good electrical continuity.
Step 2: Check ignition system grounding.
Nuisance shutdowns are often caused by a poor or erratic
A. A common ground, usually supplied by the pilot burner
bracket, is required for the module and the pilot burner/igniter
sensor.
• Check for good metal-to-metal contact between the pilot
• Check the ground lead from GND (BURNER) terminal on
Step 3: Check spark ignition circuit. You will need a short jumper

the module to the pilot burner. Make sure connections are
clean and tight. If the wire is damaged or deteriorated, replace
it with No. 14-18 gauge, moisture-resistant, thermoplastic
insulated wire with 105 C (221 F) minimum rating.
• If flame rod or bracket are bent out of position, restore to
correct position.
• Replace pilot burner/igniter sensor if insulator is
cracked.
wire made from ignition cable or other heavily insulated
wire.
WARNING
When performing the following steps, do not touch stripped end
of jumper or SPARK terminal. The ignition circuit generates
13,000 volts at 25 pf load and electrical shock can result.
C. Energize the module and immediately touch one end of the
jumper firmly to the GND terminal on the module. Move the
free end of the jumper slowly toward the SPARK terminal
until a spark is established.
D. Pull the jumper slowly away from the terminal and note the
length of the gap when sparking stops. Check table below.
ARC LENGTHACTION
No arc or arc less than
1/8 inch
Arc 1/8 inch or longer
Step 4: Check pilot flame current.
A. Turn off furnace at thermostat.
B. Disconnect main valve wire from the TH or MV terminal on
the gas control.
C. Disconnect ground wire from GND (BURNER) terminal at
module.
D. Connect a meter (dc microamp scale) in series with the ground
lead.
• Disconnect ground lead from GND terminal on ignition
module.
• Connect the black (negative) meter lead to the ignition
module GND (BURNER) terminal.
• Connect the red (positive) meter lead to the free end of the
ground lead.
E. Set thermostat to call for heat. The spark will light the pilot but
the main burner will not light because the main valve actuator
is disconnected.
F. Read the meter. The flame sensor current must be steady and
at least 1.0 uA.
G. If the reading is less than the minimum or unsteady,
• Make sure pilot flame envelopes 3/8 to 1/2 inch of the flame
rod.
• If necessary, adjust pilot flame by turning the pilot adjustment
screw on the gas control clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase pilot flame. Following adjustment,
always replace pilot adjustment cover screw and tighten
firmly to assure proper gas control operation.
• Check for cracked ceramic insulator, which can cause short
to ground, and replace igniter-sensor if necessary.
• Make sure electrical connections are clean and tight. Replace
damaged wire with moisture-resistant No. 18 wire rated for
continuous duty up to 105 C (221 F).
H. Remove meter and reconnect all wires. Return system to
normal operation before leaving job.
Check external fuse, if provided.
Verify power at module input
terminal.
Replace module if fuse and power
okay.
