50F06-843 Universal Furnace
Electronic Fan Timer
Product Launch – Fall 2019

Introducing
WHITE-ROGERS Newest Universal Replacement Control
What is an Electronic Fan Timer Control?
A Non-Integrated Control Board that utilizes
an internal timer to turn the Furnace Blower
Fan on through a timing sequence rather
than a temperature sensing device.
Blower functions that are completed through
an electronic timer on the Board are:
• Heat Fan Speed
• Cool Fan Speed
• Continuous Fan Circulation Speed
The 50F06-843 can also initiate the Inducer Fan
and monitor Furnace operation*
*Note: Level of control depends upon model being replaced.
Easy to Install, Easy to Configure, Easy to Diagnose

Non-Integrated Furnace Electronic Fan Timer
What is “Non-Integrated”?
A Non-Integrated Control is a
partial control that connects
to another for complete
operation.
The 50F06-843 will Integrate
with any one of these 3 types
of Ignition Controls for
complete Furnace operation:
• Direct Spark Ignition Control
• Hot Surface Ignition Control
• Intelligent Gas Valve Control
The Timer controls the Fan
Blower while providing Safety
Circuits* to monitor Pressure
Switch Safeties, Temperature
Limit Safeties, Blower Failure,
and Voltage Fluctuations.
*Note: Level of features depends upon model
being replaced.

Fan Timer History
Era of Fan Timer Controls Manufactured in Furnaces
ICP produced >2M furnaces
from 1994 to 2006. During this
period they manufactured
Furnaces using a Fan Timer
Control and SmartValve™ .
1935 1968 1988 1990 2006
Mechanical
temperature switches
are used to control
when the blower
turns on/off.
Hamilton Standard
Controls, Inc. – A
division of UTC,
patents a Furnace
Blower Control that
uses a microprocessor
to time the fan blower
on & off instead of a
temperature sensing
control.
An electric fan to
distribute the heated
air through ductwork
of a coal fired furnace
within the home is
patented.
A fully Integrated
Furnace control that
controls the gas valve,
gas ignition, flame
sensing, blower fan
operation, induced
draft sensing, & limit
functions is patented
by Hamilton Standard
Controls, Inc.
Furnaces with non-
integraded controls no
longer manufactured
Fenwal introduces an
Intermittent Spark
ignition system to
replace Standing Pilot
Systems. Other
companies follow
over the next couple
of years.

Universal Fan Timer Application
Where all can this be
used?
The 50F06-843 has been
cross to over 150 board
numbers.
References are listed on
the outside of the box
packaging.
White-Rodgers gives you
over 150 cross-references
compared to Brand X
which only list 48

Easy to Install Mounting Options
• The raised molded
base provides space
between board and
unit mounting plate.
• 6 mounting holes
designed to match
the board being
replaced give
multiple options for
alternate mounting.
• Mounting screws are
provided for multiple
options.
– 4x ¼”x1”, and 2x
¼”x½”
We match mounting holes
of existing boards that are
not matched by other
brand replacements.
7
Multiple ID Terminal Labels
• On some Terminals
multiple identifiers are
Silkscreened on the
board. All cross-over
boards are identified
and referenced on
each Terminal, making
it easy for correct
placement of wires.
Only White-Rodgers gives
all previous version
Terminal Identifier Labels
8
2 Sizes of 24v Power Connections
• X1/24VAC/X has both ¼” & ³∕₁₆” Terminal
Connectors
– For 24v Secondary input from 24v Transformer.
• C/COM has both ¼” & ³∕₁₆” Terminal Connectors
– For 24v Common input from 24v Transformer.
Some older systems still have ³∕₁₆” spade connectors
on wires from the Transformer to connect to the Board.
The 50F06-843 has these ³∕₁₆” terminals so the
existing wire Spades don’t have to be replaced.
Only White-Rodgers gives you both Spade
Terminal size options to connect the
existing Transformer Connector wiring.
9
24v Transformer Extension Wires Included
Some older systems have the 24v Transformer
located so that the 24v wires will not reach the
24v input Terminals on the Fan Timer.
Additional ¼” x ¼” Spade Extension Wires are
included for Transformers located farther from
the Control mounting location.
Only White-Rodgers gives you 2 Wire
Extensions with Spade Connectors to easily
connect the existing Transformer wiring.
Also included are a pair of ³∕₁₆”
Insulated Spade Terminals for
adapting the Extension wires.

Blower Speed Output Terminals for any Application
• HEAT: Once the Fan timer completes the Blower
Heat-On Delay, the HEAT & ACC are powered.
• COOL: Once the Fan timer completes the Blower
Cool-On Delay, the COOL & ACC are powered.
• ACC: Powered anytime the HEAT or COOL is
energized.
• EAC: Powered anytime HEAT or COOL is energized.
• CONT: Powered when the Fan Control Board is
powered up and designed to power 24/7. Is Deenergized when HEAT or COOL is powered.*
– *Note: An Electronic Air Cleaner requires direct 115v power 24/7
when connecting the blower to the CONT terminal in order for it to be
constantly on with the blower.
Only White-Rodgers gives you an ACC Terminal
that is powered during both Heat & Cool calls
for single Blower speed applications.
11
Additional Unused Blower Motor Lead / Park Terminals
• M1/M2/M3/UNUSED: 3 Terminals are provided
to park / place unused Blower leads.
• These Terminals allow unused Blower Motor
wires that are different speeds to be “parked”
without cutting off the Spade connector in case
that Blower speed needs to be used and a
different one parked.
White-Rodgers gives you 3
Unused Terminals compared to
Brand X which only has 2.
12
Adjustable Fan Delays & Options w/ Dipswitch Functions
• Board has 2 sets of Dipswitches:
SW1 – 4 functioning SW2 – 2 functioning, 2 unused
Only White-Rodgers gives
you a Dipswitch to
customize the “G” Blower
speed to operate either on
the Heat or Cool speeds.
A screwdriver can be used to change settings through protective Dipswitch cover.
13
All 115v/230v Power Connections on one end of Board
• L1/S/S1-S3 has 2x ¼” Connectors
– 115v Hot / L1-230v input from
power source.
– 115v Hot / L1-230v output to 24v
Transformer.
• Neutral has 7x ¼” Connectors
– 115v Neutral / L2-230v* input from
power source
– L2-230v* / 115v Neutral output to
24v Transformer
– L2-230v* / 115v Neutral for
additional 115/230v* circuits
(Inducer Fan, Blower Fan, EAC,
Humidifier)
*See Manufactures Equipment Wiring
Diagram for correct voltage wiring.
White-Rodgers gives you 7
Neutral Terminals compared to
Brand X which only has 6.

Simplified Connection Wiring Harnesses w/ ID Flags
• Port E38 is used
for 2ndgeneration
SmartValves
(ST9160 Boards).
• Using Port 38
requires a ST9160
Jumper installed
on Port J1.
• Port J1 is used for
1stGeneration
SmartValves or
Non-Integrated
Ignition Controls.
• Additional wiring
harnesses are
provided for
various
applications.

The ST9120 replacement does not
require any additional wiring harnesses.
15
Duplicate “Y” & “C” 24v Terminal Connections
• The 24v Terminal Block has 5 standard
connections:
– “C”, “G”, “Y”, “W”, & ”R”
• Additional 24v “Y” & “C” spade terminals are internally
connected on the bottom of the board. This allows for
easy connection to the cooling Contactor in some
applications.
White-Rodgers gives you both screw
and spade Terminal connections for
cooling control wiring.
16
Fan Blower Twinning Feature
• Two 50F06-843 Fan Timer Boards
can be connected to operate the
Fan Circulator Blowers
simultaneously.
• Twinning only requires a
connection of the Twin/Z1/Z2
Terminal on both boards using an
18ga wire.
• The Board with the Thermostat
connection will fully function
including the LED indicator and
Dipswitch settings. The Twinned
Board will operate the blower only
simultaneously (LED will show
standby) as determined by wired
board unless “W” or “Y” are
powered to it.
• The Twinned unit can be wired for
Heat to come on by utilizing the
“W” terminal either with the 1
st
unit
or as a 2ndstage.
If both Boards are not powered
a Twinning fault of 6 red flashes occurs.
