Spec ial Warnin g f o r In s t a l lat ion of Fur na c e or A ir Ha n dl i n g Un it s in
Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas
Carbon monoxide prod uc ing devi ces (such as an autom obile, space
heater, g as water heater , etc.) should no t be operated in enclosed areas
such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of
the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust
emissio ns. If a furnace or air handler is instal led in an enclosed area such
as a garage, utility room or par king area and a carbo n monoxide producing
device is operated there in, there must be adequate, dire ct outside
ventilation.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which
can occur if a carbon monoxide producing de vi ce continues to operate in
the enclosed area. Carb on monoxide em issions can be (re)circulated
through out the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.

However, this reduces the benefit s of the ComfortNet system as
the enhancements will only apply to the furnace.
The modulating furnace operation is based off of negative pressure created by the draft inducer . The furnace control board
receives commands from the room thermostat. The furnace
control board then controls the RPM of the (3 phase) inducer
by varying the frequency and voltage to the inducer . This is
known as variable frequency drive (VFD). The inducer , pressure switches, and gas valve are linked by pneumatic tubing.
The gas valve modulates based on this negative pressure.
This furnace is a part of the ComfortNet™ family of products. The
CTK0* thermostat kit allows this furnace to be installed as part of
a digitally communicating system. The ComfortNet system provides automatic airflow configuration, enhanced setup features,
and enhanced diagnostics. It also reduces the number of thermostat wires to a maximum of four. It may be also installed as p art of
a non-communicating system using a standard 24 V AC thermostat.
This product may be installed with the ComfortNet thermostat and
a non-ComfortNet compatible single stage air conditioning unit.

ONSIDERA TIONS
Follow the instructions listed below and the guidelines provided in
the Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements section when
selecting a furnace location.
WARNING
TO
PREVENTPOSSIBLEEQUIPM EN TDAMAGE,PROPERTYDAMAGE
•Centrally locate the furnace with respect to the proposed
or existing air distribution system.
•Ensure the temperature of the return air entering the
furnace is between 55°F and 100°F when the furnace is
heating.
•Provide provisions for venting combustion products
outdoors through a proper venting system. Special
consideration should be given to vent/flue pipe routing
and combustion air intake pipe when applicable. Refer
to V ent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe -T erminationLocations for appropriate termination locations and to
determine if the piping system from furnace to termination
can be accomplished within the guidelines given. NOTE:
The length of flue and/or combustion air piping can be a
limiting factor in the location of the furnace.
•Locate the furnace so condensate flows downwards to
the drain. Do not locate the furnace or its condensate
drainage system in any area subject to below freezing
temperatures without proper freeze protection. Refer to
Condensate Drain Lines and T rap for further details.
•Ensure adequate combustion air is available for the
furnace. Improper or insufficient combustion air can
expose building occupants to gas combustion products
that could include carbon monoxide. Refer to
Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements.
•Set the furnace on a level floor to enable proper
condensate drainage. If the floor becomes wet or damp
at times, place the furnace above the floor on a concrete
base sized approximately 1-1/2" larger than the base of
the furnace. Refer to the Horizontal Applications andConsiderations for leveling of horizontal furnaces.
•Ensure upflow or horizontal furnaces are not installed
directly on carpeting, or any other combustible material.
The only combustible material allowed is wood.
•A special accessory subbase must be used for upright
counterflow unit installations over any combustible
material (including wood). Refer to subbase instructions
for installation details. (NOTE: A subbase will not be
required if an air conditioning coil is located beneath the
furnace between the supply air opening and the
combustible floor.
•Exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in
safety and performance-related problems. Do not install
the furnace where the combustion air is exposed to the
following substances:
permanent wave solutions
chlorinated waxes or cleaners
chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
water softening chemicals
deicing salts or chemicals
carbon tetrachloride
halogen type refrigerants
cleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene)
printing inks
paint removers
varnishes
hydrochloric acid
cements and glues
antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
and masonry acid washing materials
•Isolate a non-direct furnace from an area contaminated
by any of the above substances. This protects the
non-direct vent furnace from airborne contaminants. T o
ensure that the enclosed non-direct vent furnace has an
adequate supply of combustion air, air must be ducted
in from a nearby uncontaminated room or from outdoors.
Refer to the Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements
for details.

•If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling
unit, install the furnace upstream or in parallel with
the cooling coil. Premature heat exchanger failure
will result if the cooling coil is placed upstream of the
furnace.
For vertical (upflow or downflow) applications, the
minimum cooling coil width shall not be less than
furnace width minus 1”. Additionally , a coil inst alled
above an upflow furnace or under a counterflow furnace
may be the same width as the furnace or may be one
size larger than the furnace. Example: a “C” width
coil may be installed with a “B” width furnace.
For upflow applications, the front of the coil and furnace
must face the same direction.
•If the furnace is installed in a residential garage, position
the furnace so that the burners and ignition source are
located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the
floor. Protect the furnace from physical damage by
vehicles.
•If the furnace is installed horizontally , ensure the access
doors are not on the “up/top” or “down/bottom” side of the
furnace.
•Do not connect this furnace to a chimney flue that serves
a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.
•On Counterflow Installations, the air conditioning coil must
be downstream on the supply (positive) side of the furnace
heat exchanger.
•Counterflow Installation over a noncombustible floor.
Before setting the furnace over the plenum opening, ensure
the surface around the opening is smooth and level. A
tight seal should be made between the furnace base and
floor by using a silicone rubber caulking compound or
cement grout.
•Counterflow Installation over a combustible floor. If
installation over a combustible floor becomes necessary ,
use an accessory subbase (see Specification Sheet
applicable for your model for details.) A special accessory
subbase must be used for upright counterflow unit
installations over any combustible material including wood.
Refer to subbase instructions for installation details. Follow
the instructions with the subbase for proper installation.
Do not install the furnace directly on carpeting, tile, or
other combustible material other than wood flooring.
(NOTE: The subbase will not be required if an air
conditioning coil is installed between the supply air
opening on the furnace and the floor.)

THERMOSTAT LOCATION
The thermostat should be placed approximately five feet from the
floor on a vibration-free, inside wall in an area having good air
circulation. Do not install the thermostat where it may be influenced by any of the following:
•Drafts, or dead spots behind doors, in corners, or under
cabinets.
•Hot or cold air from registers.
•Radiant heat from the sun.
•Light fixtures or other appliances.
•Radiant heat from a fireplace.
•Concealed hot or cold water pipes, or chimneys.
•Unconditioned areas behind the thermostat, such as
an outside wall.
Consult the instructions packaged with the thermostat for
Improved construction and additional insulation in buildings have
reduced heat loss by reducing air infiltration and escape around
doors and windows. These changes have helped in reducing
heating/cooling costs but have created a problem supplying combustion and ventilation air for gas fired and other fuel burning
appliances. Appliances that pull air out of the house (clothes
dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces, etc.) increase the problem by
starving appliances of air.
House depressurization can cause back drafting or improper combustion of gas-fired appliances, thereby exposing building occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide.
When the furnace is installed as a direct vent (2-pipe system)
furnace, no special provisions for air for combustion are required. However, if this furnace is to be installed in the same
space with other gas appliances, such as a water heater , ensure
there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for
the other appliances. Refer to the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes or applicable provisions of the local building codes
for determining the combustion air requirements for the appliances.
Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the furnace
area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connecting directly
to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors such as attics or
crawl spaces.
The following information on air for combustion and ventilation is
reproduced from the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1 Section 9.3.
9.3* Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
9.3.1 General.
9.3.1.1 Air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases for
appliances installed in buildings shall be obtained by application of one of
the methods covered in 9.3.2 through 9.3.6. Where the requirements of
9.3.2 are not met, outdoor air shall be introduced in accordance with methods covered in 9.3.3 through 9.3.6.
Exception No. 1: This provision shall not apply to direct vent appliances.
9.3.1.2 Appliances of other than natural draft design and other than Category 1 vented appliances shall be provided with combustion, ventilation,
and dilution air in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s instructions.

9.3.1.4 Where used, a draft hood or a barometric draft regulator shall be
installed in the same room or enclosure as the appliance served so as to
prevent any difference in pressure between the hood or regulator and the
combustion air supply.
9.3.1.5 Makeup air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans, kitchen
ventilation systems, clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be considered in
determining the adequacy of a space to provide combustion air requirements.
9.3.2 Indoor Combustion Air. The required volume of indoor air shall be
determined in accordance with the method in 9.3.2.1 or 9.3.2.2 except that
where the air infiltration rate is known to be less than 0.40 ACH, the
method in 9.3.2.2 shall be used. The total required volume shall be the sum
of the required volume calculated for all appliances located within the
space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed through openings not furnished with doors, and through
combustion air openings sized and located in accordance with 9.3.2.3, are
considered a part of the required volume.
9.3.2.1* Standard Method. The minimum required volume shall be 50 ft

ORIZONT AL APPLICA TIONS
& C
ONSIDERA TIONS
When installing a furnace horizontally , additional consideration must
be given to the following:
FURNACE SUSPENSION
If suspending the furnace from rafters or joists, use 3/8" threaded
rod and 2”x2”x1/8” angle iron as shown in the following diagram.
The length of rod will depend on the application and the clearances
necessary .
If the furnace is installed in a crawl space it must be suspended
from the floor joist or supported by a concrete pad. Never install
the furnace on the ground or allow it to be exposed to water.
LEVELING
Leveling ensures proper condensate drainage from the heat exchanger and induced draft blower . For proper flue pipe drainage,
the furnace must be level lengthwise from end to end. The furnace
should also be level from back to front or have a slight tilt with the
access doors downhill (approximately 3/4 inches) from the back
panel. The slight tilt allows the heat exchanger condensate, generated in the recuperator coil, to flow forward to the recuperator coil
front cover.
ALTERNATE ELECTRICALAND GAS LINE CONNECTIONS
This furnace has provisions allowing for electrical and gas line connections through either side panel. In horizontal applications the
connections can be made either through the “top” or “bottom” of
the furnace.
DRAIN PAN
A drain pan must be provided if the furnace is installed above a
conditioned area. The drain pan must cover the entire area under
the furnace (and air conditioning coil if applicable).
FREEZE PROTECTION
Refer to Horizontal Applications and Conditions - Drain T rap and
Lines.

(3
PLACES
)
DRAIN TRAPAND LINES
In horizontal applications the condensate drain trap is secured to
the furnace side panel, suspending it below the furnace. A minimum clearance of 4 3/4 inches below the furnace must be provided for the drain trap. Additionally, the appropriate downward
piping slope must be maintained from the drain trap to the drain
location. Refer to Condensate Drain T rap and Lines for further details. If the drain trap and drain line will be exposed to temperatures
near or below freezing, adequate measures must be taken to prevent condensate from freezing.
This furnace is shipped from the factory configured for natural gas
up to 10,000 ft. altitude. Propane conversions require the proper
LP kit to compensate for the energy content difference between natural and propane gas.
LP kits include a manifold assembly, including an LP gas
valve, orifices and LP burners.

ENT/FLUE PIPE
& C
OMBUSTION AIR PIPE
It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the manufacturers’
recommendations and to verify that all vent/flue piping and connectors are compatible with furnace flue products. Additionally, it is
the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all piping and connections possess adequate structural integrity and support to prevent flue pipe separation, shifting, or sagging during furnace operation.
DUAL CERTIFICATION: NON-DIRECT/DIRECT VENT
This furnace is dual certified and may be installed as a non-direct
vent (single pipe) or direct vent (dual pipe) appliance. A non-directvent installation requires only a vent/flue pipe, while a direct vent
installation requires both a vent/flue pipe and a combustion air
intake pipe. Refer to the appropriate section for details concerning
piping size, length, number of elbows, furnace connections, and
terminations.
WARNING
F
AILURETOFOLLOWTHESEINSTRUCTIO N SCANRESU LTINBODILY
A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by
extracting almost all of the heat from the products of combustion
and cooling them to the point where condensation takes place.
Because of the relatively low flue gas temperature and water condensation requirements, PVC or ABS pipe is used as venting
material.
In addition to PVC and ABS pipe and fittings, Innoflue® by
Centrotherm Eco Systems and PolyPro® by M&G Duravent
are also approved vent and combustion air materials for installations in the U.S.A. and Canada. Manufacturers Installation
instructions for these products must be followed. These products have specific instructions for installing, joining and terminating. Do not mix materials or components of one manufacturer with materials or components of another manufacturer .
All furnaces are built with 2" vent / intake pipe and connectors. For furnaces requiring installation of 3" pipe, the transition from 2" to 3" should be done as close to the furnace as
practically possible.
This furnace must not be connected to T ype B, BW , or L vent or
vent connector, and must not be vented into any portion of a factory built or masonry chimney except when used as a pathway for
PVC as described later in this section. Never common vent this
appliance with another appliance or use a vent which is used by a
solid fuel appliance.

PROPER VENT/FLUEAND COMBUSTION AIR PIPING PRACTICES
Adhere to these instructions to ensure safe and proper furnace
performance. The length, diameter , and number of elbows of the
vent/flue pipe and combustion air pipe (when applicable) affects
the performance of the furnace and must be carefully sized. All
piping must be installed in accordance with local codes and these
instructions.
Piping must be adequately secured and supported to prohibit sagging, joint separation, and/or detachment from the furnace. Horizontal runs of vent/flue and combustion air piping must be properly supported. PVC pipe supports must be no more than 5'
apart. For ABS pipe, supports must be no more than 3' apart.
Horizontal pipe runs must maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward
slope, back towards the furnace, to properly return condensate to
the furnace’s drain system.

Precautions should be taken to prevent condensate from freezing
inside the vent/flue pipe and/or at the vent/flue pipe termination. All
vent/flue piping exposed to temperatures below 35°F for extended
periods of time must be insulated with 1/2” thick closed cell foam.
Also, all vent/flue piping exposed outdoors in excess of the terminations shown in this manual (or in unheated areas) must be insulated with 1/2” thick closed cell foam. Inspect piping for leaks
prior to installing insulation.
TERMINATION LOCATIONS
NOTE: Refer to Location Requirements and Considerations for
combustion air contaminant restrictions.
The following bullets and diagram describe the restrictions con-
cerning the appropriate location of vent/flue pipe and combustion
air intake pipe (when applicable) terminations. Refer to Non-DirectVent (Single Pipe) Piping and Direct Vent (Dual Pipe) Piping located in this section for specific details on termination construction.
•All terminations (flue and/or intake) must be located at
least 12 inches above ground level or the anticipated
snow level.
•Vent terminations (non-direct and direct vent) must
terminate at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located
within 10 feet.
NOTE: This provision does not apply to the combustion
air intake termination of a direct vent application.
•The vent termination of a direct vent application must
terminate at least 12 inches from any opening through
which flue gases may enter a building (door, window , or
gravity air inlet).
•The vent termination running vertically through a roof
must terminate at least 12 inches above the roof line (or
the anticipated snow level) and be at least 12 inches
from any vertical wall (including any anticipated snow
build up).
•A vent termination shall not terminate over public walkways
or over an area where condensate or vapor could create
a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the
operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.
•The combustion air intake termination of a direct vent
application should not terminate in an area which is
frequently dusty or dirty .
NOTE: In Canada, the current edition of CAN/CSA B149.1
takes precedence over the preceding termination restriction.

SPECIAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATIONS IN
CANADA
All installations in Canada must conform to the requirements
of CAN/CSA B149.1 code. All vent system components, including primer and cement, must be listed to ULC S636. The
certified pipe and fittings should be clearly marked with the
ULC standard “S636”. The primer and cement used must be
of the same manufacturer as the vent system. For Royal Pipe
System 636; use GVS-65 Primer (Purple) and GVS-65 PVC
Solvent Cement. For IPEX System 636, use PVC/CPVC
Primer, Purple or clear . Use PVC Solvent Cement (Gray).
For Canadian installations, ABS may be used as a combustion air pipe only. ABS is not an approved vent material in
Canada. If ABS is used as a combustion air pipe, it must be
CSA certified. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions
in the use of primer and cement. Do not use primer and cement around potential sources of ignition. Do not use primer
or cement beyond its expiration date.
The safe operation, as defined by ULC S636, of the vent system is based on following these installation instructions, the
vent system manufacturer’s installation instructions, and proper
use of primer and cement. It is recommended under this standard, that the vent system be checked once a year by qualified service personnel. All fire stop s and roof flashings used
with this system must be UL listed. Acceptability under CAN/
CSA B149.1 is dependent upon full compliance with all installation instructions. Consult the authority having jurisdiction
(gas inspection authority , municipal building department, fire
department, etc.) before installation to determine the need to
obtain a permit. *IPEX System 636™ is a trademark of IPEX
Inc.
Carefully follow the pipe manufacturers’ instructions for cutting,
cleaning, and solvent cementing PVC and/or ABS.
The vent can be run through an existing unused chimney provided
the space between the vent pipe and the chimney is insulated and
closed with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing.
STANDARD FURNACE CONNECTIONS
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the piping
connections to the furnace are secure, airtight, and adequately
supported.
Upflow/horizontal models are shipped with one 2" rubber coupling to attach the vent pipe to the furnace. Counterflow/horizontal models are shipped with two 2" rubber couplings for
attaching the vent pipe and combustion air pipe/fitting to the
furnace. Rubber couplings are typically shipped in the furnace
drain trap.
densate drain lines, etc. If necessary, clearances may be
increased by creating an offset using two 45 degree elbows.
This joint can be rotated on the fitting to establish maximum clearance between refrigerant lines, metering devices, and condensate drain lines, etc. This joint is the equivalent of one 90 deg.
elbow when considering elbow count.
45 DEGREE
ELBOWS
Increased Clearance Configuration
The vent/flue pipe can also be secured using a PVC or ABS elbow
or coupling using the appropriate glue (see Materials and JoiningMethods).
NOTE: For non-direct vent installations, a minimum of one 90°
elbow should be installed on the combustion air intake coupling to
guard against inadvertent blockage.
COMBUSTION AIR PIPE
DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
On upflow units secure the combustion air intake pipe directly to
the air intake coupling. On counterflow units secure the combustion air intake pipe to the air intake coupling using the rubber coupling and worm gear hose clamps provided with the unit. The counterflow rubber coupling allows service removal of air intake piping
internal to the furnace blower compartment. The combustion air
intake pipe can also be secured directly to the counterflow unit air
intake pipe coupling.
NON-DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
A minimum of one 90° elbow should be installed on the combustion air intake “coupling” to guard against inadvertent blockage.

VENT/FLUE PIPE TERMINATIONS
Non-directvent installations require only a vent/flue pipe. The vent
pipe can be run horizontally with an exit through the side of the
building or run vertically with an exit through the roof of the building.
The vent can also be run through an existing unused chimney;
however, it must extend a minimum of 12 inches above the top of
the chimney . The space between the vent pipe and the chimney
must be closed with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing.
For details concerning connection of the vent/flue pipe to the furnace, refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air - Standard Fur-nace Connections or Alternate Furnace Connections for specific
details. Refer to the following Non-Direct Vent (Single Pipe) Piping
- Vent/Flue Pipe Terminations for specific details on termination
construction.
Although non-directvent installations do not require a combustion
air intake pipe, a minimum of one 90° elbow should be attached to
the furnace’s combustion air intake. This elbow will guard against
inadvertent blockage of the air intake.
VENT/FLUE PIPE LENGTHSAND DIAMETERS
Refer to the following table for applicable length, elbows, and pipe
diameter for construction of the vent/flue pipe system of a nondirect vent installation. In addition to the vent/flue pipe, a single 90°
elbow should be secured to the combustion air intake to prevent
inadvertent blockage. The tee used in the vent/flue termination
NOTE: If either a 90 degree or 45 degree elbow is used for
termination, it must be pointed downward.
The vent/flue pipe may terminate vertically , as through a roof, or
horizontally , as through an outside wall.
Vertical vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in the following figure. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe -T ermination Locations for details concerning location restrictions.
The penetration of the vent through the roof must be sealed tight
with proper flashing such as is used with a plastic plumbing vent.
Horizontal vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in the
following figure. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe
- T ermination Locations for details concerning location restrictions.
A 2 3/8” diameter wall penetration is required for 2” diameter pipe.
A 3” diameter hole is required for a 2 1/2” pipe and a 3 1/2” diameter hole is required for 3” diameter pipe. The wall penetration
should be sealed with silicone caulking material.
In a basement installation, the vent/flue pipe can be run between
joist spaces. If the vent pipe must go below a joist and then up into
21
Page 22
the last joist space to penetrate the header , two 45° elbows should
be used to reach the header rather than two 90° elbows.
NOTE: Terminate both pipes in the same pressure zone
(same side of roof, no major obstacles between pipes,
etc.).

VENT/FLUE & COMBUSTION AIR PIPE LENGTHS &DIAMETERS
Refer to the following table for applicable length, elbows, and pipe
diameter for construction of the vent/flue and combustion air intake
pipe systems of a direct vent (dual pipe) installation. The number
of elbows tabulated represents the number of elbows and/or tees
in each (Vent/Flue & Combustion Air Intake) pipe. If there is a
difference between the two pipes, count the pipe with the most
fittings. Elbows and/or tees used in the terminations must be
included when determining the number of elbows in the piping
systems.
If the combustion air intake pipe is to be installed above a finished
ceiling or other area where dripping of condensate will be objectionable, insulation of the combustion air pipe may be required.
Use 1/2” thick closed cell foam insulation such as Armaflex™ or
Insultube™ where required.
VENT/FLUEAND COMBUSTION AIR PIPE TERMINATIONS
The vent/flue and combustion air pipes may terminate vertically , as
through a roof, or horizontally , as through an outside wall.
Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Pipe - T ermination Locations for details concerning location restrictions. The penetrations
through the roof must be sealed tight with proper flashing such as
is used with a plastic plumbing vent.
Horizontal terminations should be as shown in the following figure.
Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Pipe - Termination Lo-cation for location restrictions. A 2 3/8” diameter wall penetration
is required for 2” diameter pipe. A 3” diameter hole is required for
a 2 1/2” pipe and a 3 1/2” diameter hole is required for 3”
diameter pipe. The wall penetration should be sealed with silicone caulking material.

ONDENSA TE DRAIN LINES
& D
RAIN TRAP
A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by
extracting heat from the products of combustion to the point where
condensation takes place. The condensate must be collected in
the furnace drain trap and routed to an appropriate drain
location in compliance with local and national codes.
In upright installations, the furnace’s drain hoses may exit either
the right or left side of the furnace. NOTE: If the alternate vent/
flue outlet is utilized in an upright installation, the drain trap and
drain connections must be located on the same side as the alternate vent/flue outlet.
In horizontal installations, the drain hoses will exit through the bot-
tom (down side) of the unit with the drain trap suspended beneath
the furnace. The field-supplied drain system must be in accordance with all local codes and the instructions in the following
sections.
Follow the bullets listed below when installing the drain system.
Refer to the following sections for specific details concerning furnace drain trap installation and drain hose hook ups.
•The drain trap supplied with the furnace must be used.
•The drain line between furnace and drain location must
meet local and nation codes.
•The drain line between furnace and drain location must
maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward slope toward the
drain.
•Do not trap the drain line in any other location than at
the drain trap supplied with the furnace.
•If the drain line is routed through an area which may
see temperatures near or below freezing, precautions
must be taken to prevent condensate from freezing
within the drain line.
•If an air conditioning coil is installed with the furnace, a
common drain may be used. An open tee must be
installed in the drain line, near the cooling coil, to
relieve positive air pressure from the coil’s plenum.

24 VOLT DEHUMIDISTAT WIRING
The optional usage of a dehumidistat allows the furnace’s circulator blower to operate at a slightly lower speed (85% of desired
speed) during a combined thermostat call for cooling and dehumidistat call for dehumidification. This can be done through an
independent dehumidistat or through a thermostat’s DEHUM terminal (if available). This lower blower speed enhances dehumidification of the conditioned air as it passes through the AC coil.
For proper function, a dehumidistat applied to this furnace must
operate on 24 VAC and utilize a switch which opens on humidityrise. Refer to the “Thermostat Wiring Diagrams” figure for
additional wiring details.
T o install/connect a dehumidistat:
1. Turn OFF power to furnace.
2. Secure the dehumidistat neutral wire (typically the white
lead) to the terminal marked “DEHUM” on the furnace
integrated control module.
3. Secure the dehumidistat hot wire (typically the black lead)
to the terminal marked “R” on the furnace integrated control
module.
4. Secure the dehumidistat ground wire (typically the green
lead) to the ground screw on the furnace junction box.
NOTE: Ground wire may not be present on all
dehumidistats.
5. If the condenser is a straight cooling unit, install a
jumper from Y1 to 0 on the furnace board.
6. Turn ON power to furnace.
T o enable the dehumidify function on the integrated control module, set the dehumidification ENABLE DIP switch from OFF to

When gas piping enters directly to the gas valve through the
standard inlet hole, the installer must supply straight pipe with a
ground joint union to reach the exterior of the furnace. The rigid
pipe must be long enough to reach the outside of the cabinet to
seal the grommet cabinet penetration. A semi-rigid connector to
the gas piping can be used outside the cabinet per local codes.
INDIRECT/ALTERNATE INLET PIPING
When gas piping enters indirectly to the gas valve through the
alternate gas inlet hole the following fittings (starting from the gas
valve) to reach the outside of the cabinet must be supplied:
•Close nipple.
•90 degree elbow.
•2½ inch nipple.
•Straight pipe, with a ground joint union, to reach the exterior
of the furnace. The rigid pipe must be long enough to reach
the outside of the cabinet so as to seal the grommet cabinet
penetration. A semi-rigid connector to the gas piping can
be used outside the cabinet per local codes.
GAS PIPING CHECKS
Before placing unit in operation, leak test the unit and gas connections.
Check for leaks using an approved chloride-free soap and water
solution, an electronic combustible gas detector, or other approved
testing methods.
NOTE: Never exceed specified pressures for testing. Higher
pressure may damage the gas valve and cause subsequent
overfiring, resulting in heat exchanger failure.
Disconnect this unit and shutoff valve from the gas supply piping
system before pressure testing the supply piping system with
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa).
Isolate this unit from the gas supply piping system by closing its
external manual gas shutoff valve before pressure testing supply
piping system with test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.48 kPA).
A gas detecting warning system is the only reliable way to detect a
propane gas leak. Rust can reduce the level of odorant in propane gas. Do not rely on your sense of smell. Contact a local
propane gas supplier about installing a gas detecting warning system. If the presence of gas is suspected, follow the instructions
listed in the Safety Precautions section of this manual.
All propane gas equipment must conform to the safety standards
of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, NBFU Manual 58.
CANADA: National Standard of Canada, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (NSCNGPIC) CSA B149.1—2010.
For satisfactory operation, propane gas pressure must be 10” WC
+ .5” WC at the furnace manifold with all gas appliances in operation. Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on three main factors:
1. V aporization rate, depending on temperature of the liquid,
and “wetted surface” area of the container or containers.
2. Proper pressure regulation. (Two-stage regulation is
recommended for both cost and efficiency).
3. Pressure drop in lines between regulators, and between
second stage regulator and the appliance. Pipe size will
depend on length of pipe run and total load of all appliances.
Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization, recommended regulator settings, and pipe sizing is available from
most regulator manufacturers and propane gas suppliers.
Since propane gas will quickly dissolve white lead and most standard commercial compounds, special pipe dope must be used.
Pipe dope used on propane gas installations must be approved
for use with propane gas.

Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for
the CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace. Design
the ductwork in accordance with the recommended methods of
“Air Conditioning Contractors of America” Manual D.
Install the duct system in accordance with S tandards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Air Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems. Pamphlets No.
90A and 90B.
A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct
connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached to the back of the furnace. For upflow installations requir-
ing 1800 CFM or more, use either two side returns or bottom
return or a combination of side and bottom. Flexible joints may be
34
Page 35
used for supply and return connections to reduce noise transmission. T o prevent the blower from interfering with combustion air or
draft when a central return is used, a connecting duct must be
installed between the unit and the utility room wall. Never use a
room, closet, or alcove as a return air chamber.
CHECKING DUCT STATIC
Refer to your furnace rating plate for the maximum ESP (external duct static) rating.
Total external static refers to everything external to the furnace cabinet. Cooling coils, filters, ducts, grilles, registers
must all be considered when reading your total external static
pressure. The supply duct pressure must be read between
the furnace and the cooling coil. This reading is usually taken
by removing the “A” shaped block off plate from the end on the
coil; drilling a test hole in it and reinstalling the block off plate.
Take a duct static reading at the test hole. Tape up the test
hole after your test is complete. The negative pressure must
be read between the filter and the furnace blower.
Excessive external static pressure will result in insufficient air
which can cause excessive temperature rise. This can cause
limit switch tripping and heat exchanger failure.
To determine total external duct static pressure, proceed as
follows;
1. With clean filters in the furnace, use a draft gauge (inclined manometer) to measure the static pressure of the
return duct at the inlet of the furnace. (Negative Pressure)
2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct. (Positive
Pressure)
3. The difference between the two numbers is your total external static pressure.
Example:
static reading from return duct = -0.1" W.C.
static reading from supply duct = +0.3" W.C.
total external static pressure on this system = 0.4" W .C.
NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read
directly on the manometer if so desired. If an air conditioner
coil or Electronic Air Cleaner is used in conjunction with the
furnace, the readings must also include these components,
as shown in the following drawing.
Checking Static Pressure
BOTTOM RETURN AIR OPENING [UPFLOW MODELS]
The bottom return air opening on upflow models utilizes a “lance
and cut” method to remove sheet metal from the duct opening in
the base pan. T o remove, simply press out the lanced sections by
hand to expose the metal strips retaining the sheet metal over the
duct opening. Using tin snips, cut the metal strips and remove the
sheet metal covering the duct opening. In the corners of the opening, cut the sheet metal along the scribe lines to free the duct
flanges. Using the scribe line along the duct flange as a guide,
bend the duct flanges around the perimeter of the opening using a
pair of seamer pliers or seamer tongs. NOTE: Airflow area will be
reduced by approximately 18% if duct flanges are not folded open.
This could cause performance issues and noise issues.
4. Consult proper t ables for the quantity of air.
If the total external static pressure exceeds the maximum
listed on the furnace rating plate, check for closed dampers,
registers, undersized and/or oversized poorly laid out duct work.

When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, the
furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the upstream side
of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in the heating element.
35
Page 36
With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other means
used to control the flow of air must be adequate to prevent chilled
air from entering the furnace and, if manually operated, must be
equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the
damper is in the full heat or cool position.
When the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, it is recommended that a removable access panel be provided in the supply
air plenum. 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 visual light inspection or such that a sampling probe
can be inserted into the airstream. The access panel must be
sealed to prevent air leaks when the furnace is in operation.
When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air
entering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F .
FILTERS - READ THIS SECTION BEFORE INSTALLING THE RETURN
AIR DUCTWORK
Filters must be used with this furnace. Discuss filter maintenance
with the building owner. Filters do not ship with this furnace, but
must be provided, sized and installed externally by the installer .
Filters must comply with UL900 or CAN/ULCS111 standards. If
the furnace is installed without filters, the warranty will be voided.
On upflow units, guide dimples locate the side return cutout locations. Use a straight edge to scribe lines connecting the dimples.
Cut out the opening on these lines. NOTE: An undersized opening will cause reduced airflow.

HEAT ANTICIPATOR SETTING
The heat anticipator in the room thermostat must be correctly
adjusted to obtain the proper number of cycles per hour and to
prevent “overshooting” of the setting. Set the heat anticipator setting to 0.7 amps. Follow the thermostat manufacturer’s instructions on how to adjust the heat anticipator setting.
CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP PRIMING
The drain trap must be primed prior to furnace startup. T o prime, fill
the drain trap with water. This ensures proper furnace drainage
upon startup and prohibits the possibility of flue gases escaping
through the drain system. Air conditioning condensate may be
drained into the furnace trap. Please see requirements in Con-densate Drain Lines & Drain T rap section.
FURNACE OPERATION
Purge gas lines of air prior to startup. Be sure not to purge lines
into an enclosed burner compartment. Follow NFPA 54, National Fuel gas Code 8.3 for proper purging methods. In Canada,

GAS INPUT RATE MEASUREMENT (NATURAL GAS ONLY)
The gas input rate to the furnace must never be greater than that
specified on the unit rating plate. To measure natural gas input
using the gas meter, use the following procedure.
1. Turn OFF the gas supply to all other gas-burning appliances
except the furnace.
2. While the furnace is operating at high fire rate, t ime and
record one complete revolution of the smallest gas meter
dial.
3. Calculate the number of seconds per cubic foot (sec/ft3) of
gas being delivered to the furnace. If the dial is a one cubic
foot dial, divide the number of seconds recorded in step 2
by one. If the dial is a two cubic foot dial, divide the number
of seconds recorded in step 2 by two.
4. Calculate the furnace input in BTUs per hour (BTU/hr).
Input equals the sum of the installation’s gas heating value
and a conversion factor (hours to seconds) divided by the
40
Page 41
number of seconds per cubic foot. The measured input
must not be greater than the input indicated on the unit
rating plate.

Input = 106,000 BTU/hr
NOTE: The final manifold pressure cannot vary by more than ±
0.3” w.c. for Natural and
+ 0.5” for LP from the specified setting.
Consult your local gas supplier if additional input rate adjustment
is required.
5. Turn ON gas to and relight all other appliances turned off in
step 1. Be certain that all appliances are functioning properly
and that all pilot burners are operating.
TEMPERATURE RISE
Temperature rise must be within the range specified on the
unit rating plate. An incorrect temperature rise may result in
condensing in or overheating of the heat exchanger. An airflow and temperature rise table is provided in the Specification
Sheet applicable to your model. Determine and adjust temperature rise as follows:
1. Operate furnace with burners firing for approximately
ten minutes. Ensure all registers are open and all duct
dampers are in their final (fully or partially open) position.
2. Place thermometers in the return and supply ducts as
close to the furnace as possible. Thermometers must
not be influenced by radiant heat by being able to “see”
the heat exchanger.
3. Subtract the return air temperature from the supply air
temperature to determine the air temperature rise. Allow
adequate time for thermometer readings to stabilize.
4. Adjust temperature rise by adjusting the circulator blower
speed. Increase blower speed to reduce temperature
rise. Decrease blower speed to increase temperature
rise. Refer to Startup Procedure and Adjustment -Circulator Blower Speeds for speed changing details.
This furnace is equipped with an EC M circulator blower. The
heating blower speed is shipped set at “B”, and the cooling blower
speed setting is “D”. These blower speeds should be adjusted by
the installer to match the installation requirements so as to provide
the correct heating temperature rise and correct cooling CFM.
Use the dual 7-segment LED display adjacent to the DIP switches
to obtain the approximate airflow quantity . The airflow quantity is
displayed as a number on the display , rounded to the nearest 100
CFM. The display alternates airflow delivery indication and the
operating mode indication.
Example: The airflow being delivered is 1225 CFM. The display
indicates 12. If the airflow being delivered is 1275, the display
indicates 13.
1. Determine the tonnage of the cooling system installed with
the furnace. If the cooling capacity is in BTU/hr divide it by
12,000 to convert capacity to TONs.
Example: Cooling Capacity of 30,000 BTU/hr.
30,000/12,000 = 2.5 T ons
2. Determine the proper air flow for the cooling system. Most
cooling systems are designed to work with air flows between
350 and 450 CFM per ton. Most manufacturers recommend
an air flow of about 400 CFM per ton.
Example: 2.5 tons X 400 CFM per ton = 1000 CFM
The cooling system manufacturer’s instructions must be checked
for required air flow. Any electronic air cleaners or other devices

may require specific quantity of air, consult installation instructions of those devices for requirements.
3. Knowing the furnace model, locate the high stage cooling
air flow table. Look up the cooling air flow determined in
step 2 and find the required cooling speed and adjustment
setting.
Example:A *MVM960603BX furnace installed with a
2.5 ton air conditioning system. The air flow
needed is 1000 CFM. Looking at the cooling
speed chart for *MVM960603BX, find the air
flow closest to 1000 CFM. A cooling airflow
of 1000 CFM can be attained by selecting
the cooling speed “C” and the adjustment
to “normal”.
6. The multi-speed circulator blower also offers several
custom ON/OFF ramping profiles for cooling. These
profiles may be used to enhance cooling performance
and increase comfort level. The ramping profiles are
selected using DIP switches 7 and 8. Refer to the
bullet points below for a description of each ramping
profile. Verify CFM by noting the number displayed on
the dual 7-segment LED display .

will be 0.25 x 2000 or 500 CFM.
5. Locate the blower speed selection DIP switches on the
integrated control module. Select the desired “cooling”
speed tap by positioning switches 1 and 2 appropriately.
Select the desired “adjust” tap by positioning switches 9
and 10 appropriately. Refer to the DIP switch chart for
switch positions and their corresponding taps. V erify CFM
by noting the number displayed on the dual 7-segment
LED display.

7. Select the heating speed for your model from the heating
speed table in this manual. The “adjust” setting (already
established by the cooling speed selection) determines
which set of speeds are available. The selected speed
must provide a temperature rise within the rise range listed
with the particular model.
8. Select the desired “heating” speed tap by positioning
switches 3 and 4 appropriately. Refer to the airflow t able.
Verify CFM by noting the number displayed on the dual 7segment LED display .

In general lower heating speeds will: reduce electrical consumption, lower operating sound levels of the blower, and increase the
outlet air temperature delivered to the home. The speeds available allow the blower performance to be optimized for the particular needs of the installation.
BLOWER HEAT OFF DELAY TIMINGS
The integrated control module provides a selectable heat off delay
function. The heat off delay period may be set to 90, 120, 150, 180
seconds using the DIP switches or jumper provided on the control
module. The delay is factory shipped at 150 seconds but may be
changed to suit the installation requirements and/or homeowner
preference. Refer to the DIP switch chart in the back section of
this manual for switch positions and corresponding delay times.

AIRFLOW CONSIDERATIONS
Airflow demands are managed differently in a communicating system than they are in a non-communicating wired system. The system operating mode (as determined by the
thermostat) determines which unit calculates the system airflow demand. If the furnace is responsible for determining
the airflow demand, it calculates the demand and sends it to
the ECM motor. If the out door unit or thermostat is responsible for determining the demand, it calculates the demand
and transmits the demand along with a fan request to the
indoor unit. The furnace then sends the demand to the ECM
motor. The following table lists the various ComfortNet systems, the operating mode, and airflow demand source.

OVERVIEW
NOTE: DIP switch #13 MUST be set to match thermostat
type. T o use the CTK01 communicating thermostat, DIP switch
#13 must be set to ON position. This is also the correct setting for a non-communicating 2-stage thermostat. T o use the
CTK02** or CTK03 modulating thermostat, check to make
sure DIP switch #13 is in the OFF position (factory position). This is also the correct position when using a noncommunicating single stage thermostat.
The ComfortNet system is a system that includes a ComfortNet
compatible furnace and air conditioner or heat pump with a CTK0*
thermostat. A valid ComfortNet system could also be a compatible furnace, CTK0* thermostat and non-compatible, single stage
air conditioner. Any other system configurations are considered
invalid ComfortNet systems and must be connected as a traditional (or non-communicating) system (see Electrical Connec-tions for wiring connections).
A ComfortNet heating/air conditioning system differs from a noncommunicating/traditional system in the manner in which the
indoor unit, outdoor unit and thermostat interact with one another .
In a traditional system, the thermostat sends commands to the
indoor and outdoor units via analog 24 V AC signals. It is a oneway communication path in that the indoor and outdoor units
typically do not return information to the thermostat.
The indoor unit, outdoor unit and thermostat comprising a
ComfortNet system “communicate” digitally with one another, creating a two-way communications path. The thermostat still sends
commands to the indoor and outdoor units. However , the thermostat may also request and receive information from both the indoor
and outdoor units. This information may be displayed on the
ComfortNet thermostat. The indoor and outdoor units also interact with one another. The out door unit may send commands to or
request information from the indoor unit. This two-way digital
communications between the thermostat and subsystems (indoor/
outdoor unit) is the key to unlocking the benefits and features of
the ComfortNet system.
Two-way digit al communications is accomplished using only two
wires. The thermostat and subsystem controls are powered with
24 V AC. Thus, a maximum of 4 wires between the equipment and
thermostat is all that is required to operate the system.

For example, assume the system is an air conditioner
matched with a furnace. With a call for low stage cooling,
the air conditioner will calculate the system’s low stage cooling airflow demand. The air conditioner will then send a fan
request along with the low stage cooling airflow demand to
the furnace. Once received, the furnace will send the low
stage cooling airflow demand to the ECM motor. The ECM
motor then delivers the low stage cooling airflow. See the
applicable ComfortNet air conditioner or heat pump installation manual for the airflow delivered during cooling or heat
pump heating.
In continuous fan mode, the CTK0* thermostat provides the
airflow demand. The thermostat may be configured for one of
three continuous fan speed settings allow for 25%, 50% or
75% airflow, based on the furnaces’ maximum airflow cap ability . During continuous fan operation, the thermostat sends
a fan request along with the continuous fan demand to the
furnace. The furnace, in turn, sends the demand to the
ECM motor. The ECM motor delivers the requested continuous fan airflow.

FOSSIL FUEL APPLICATIONS
This furnace can be used in conjunction with a ComfortNet™
compatible heat pump in a fossil fuel application. A fossil fuel
application refers to a combined gas furnace and heat pump installation which uses an outdoor temperature sensor to determine
the most cost efficient means of heating (heat pump or gas furnace). When used with the CTK0* thermostat, the furnace/
heat pump system is automatically configured as a fossil fuel
system. The balance point temperature may be adjusted via
the CTK0* thermostat advanced user menus (see CTK0* instructions for additional information).
CTK0* WIRING
NOTE: Refer to Electrical Connections for 115 volt line connections
to the furnace.
NOTE: A removable plug connector is provided with the control to
make thermostat wire connections. This plug may be removed,
wire connections made to the plug, and replaced. It is strongly
recommended that multiple wires into a single terminal be twisted
together prior to inserting into the plug connector. Failure to do so
may result in intermittent operation.
Typical 18 A WG thermostat wire may be used to wire the system
components. One hundred (100) feet is the maximum length of
wire between indoor unit and outdoor unit, or between indoor unit
and thermostat. Wire runs over (100) feet require larger gauge
wire.
FOUR-WIRE INDOORAND OUTDOOR WIRING
Typical ComfortNet™ wiring will consist of four wires between
the indoor unit and outdoor unit and between the indoor unit and
thermostat. The required wires are: (a) data lines, 1 and 2; (b)
thermostat “R” (24 V AC hot) and “C” (24 V AC common).

THERMOSTAT MENU
If this furnace is installed with a communicating compatible heat
pump, the system is recognized as a dual fuel system. The
balance point temperature should be set via the thermostat advanced menu. Navigate to the THERMOST AT menu. Press theINST ALLER CONFIG key. Navigate to the SETUP menu and
press the INSTALLER CONFIG button. See communicating
thermostat installation instructions for additional information.
Navigate to dF BAL PNT. Adjust the dual fuel system balance
point using the back/forward arrows.
DIAGNOSTICS
Accessing the furnace’s diagnostics menu provides ready access to the last ten faults detected by the furnace. Faults are
stored most recent to least recent. Any consecutively repeated
fault is stored a maximum of three times. Example: A clogged
return air filter causes the furnace limit to trip repeatedly. The
control will only store this fault the first three consecutive times
the fault occurs. Navigate to the diagnostics menu as described
above in Accessing and Navigating the Advanced Features Menus.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the fault history be cleared
when performing maintenance or servicing the furnace.
NETWORKTROUBLESHOOTING
The indoor control is equipped with a bank of three DIP switches
that provide biasing and termination functions for the communications transmission lines. The outdoor control in the communicating compatible unit is equipped with a bank of two DI P
switches that provide termination functions for the communications transmission lines. Communications errors will result if
these switches are not correctly set. Note that the ON position
is the correct position for all bias and pull up/pull down DIP
switches.
The ComfortNet™ system is a fully communicating system, and
thus, constitutes a network. Occasionally the need to troubleshoot the network may arise. The furnace control board has
some on-board tools that may be used to troubleshoot the network. These tools are: red communications LED, green receive
(Rx) LED, and learn button.
•Red communications LED – Indicates the status of the
network. The table below indicates the LED status and
the corresponding potential problem.
•Green receive LED – Indicates network traffic. The table
below indicates the LED status and the corresponding
potential problem.
•Learn button – Used to reset the network. Depress the
button for approximately 2 seconds to reset the network.

ORMAL SEQUENCE OF OPERA TION
POWER UP
The normal power up sequence is as follows:
•115 V AC power applied to furnace.
•Integrated control module performs internal checks.
•Integrated control module monitors safety circuits
continuously .
•Furnace awaits call from thermostat. Dual 7-segment LED’s
display O while awaiting call from thermostat.
HEATING MODE
The normal operational sequence in heating mode is as follows:
•Thermostat contacts close, initiating a call for heat.
•Integrated control module performs safety circuit checks.
•Induced draft blower is energized on high speed for a 15-
second prepurge.
•Induced draft blower steps to low speed following prepurge.
Low stage pressure switch contacts are closed.
•Igniter warm up begins upon step to low speed and
presence of closed low stage pressure switch contacts.
•Gas valve opens at end of igniter warm up period, delivering
gas to burners and establishing flame.
•Integrated control module monitors flame presence. Gas
valve will remain open only if flame is detected.
•The percentage of heating demand is sent from the
furnace control board to determine what RPM the draft
inducer should run at. A higher percentage demand will
drive the inducer RPM higher. This will cause the gas
valve to modulate higher. The burner will modulate based
on the inducer speed
•Circulator blower is energized on heat speed following a
thirty (30) second blower on delay . The circulator blower
CFM will increase or decrease with gas valve modulation.
Electronic air cleaner terminal is energized with circulator
blower.
•Furnace is now operating on the specified stage called for
by the thermostat.
•Furnace runs, integrated control module monitors safety
circuits continuously.
•If the two-stage thermostat changes the call from low heat
to high heat, the integrated control module will immediately
switch the induced draft blower , gas valve, and circulator
blower to their high stage settings.
•The thermostat contacts open, completing the call for heat.
•Gas valve closes, extinguishing flame.
•Induced draft blower is de-energized following a fifteen second
post purge. Humidifier contacts open.
•Circulator blower continues running for the selected heat
off delay period (90, 120, 150 or 180 seconds). The speed
run during this period depends on the last heat call provided
by the thermostat.
If the last call for heat was a call for high heat, the air
circulating motor will run on the high heating speed for thirty
(30) seconds and then switch to the low heating speed for
the balance of the heat off delay period (60, 90, 120 or 150
seconds).

AFETY CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A number of safety circuits are employed to ensure safe and proper
furnace operation. These circuits serve to control any potential
safety hazards and serve as inputs in the monitoring and diagnosis of abnormal function. These circuits are continuously monitored during furnace operation by the integrated control module.
FURNACE CONTROL BOARD
The furnace control board i s an electronic device which, if a potential safety concern is detected, will take the necessary precautions and provide diagnostic information through an LED display.
PRIMARY LIMIT
The primary limit control is located on the partition panel and monitors heat exchanger compartment temperatures. It is a normallyclosed (electrically), automatic reset, temperature-activated sensor. The limit guards against overheating as a result of insuf ficient
conditioned air passing over the heat exchanger.
AUXILIARY LIMIT
The auxiliary limit controls are located on or near the circulator
blower and monitors blower compartment temperatures. They are
a normally-closed (electrically), auto-reset sensors. These limits
guard against overheating as a result of insufficient conditioned air
passing over the heat exchanger .
ROLLOUT LIMIT
The rollout limit controls are mounted on the burner/manifold assembly and monitor the burner flame. They are normally-closed
(electrically), manual-reset sensors. These limits guard against
burner flames not being properly drawn into the heat exchanger.
48
Page 49
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The pressure switches are normally-open (closed during operation) negative air pressure-activated switches. They monitor the
airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger via pressure taps located on the induced draft blower and
the coil front cover. These switches guard against insufficient airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger
and/or blocked condensate drain conditions.
FLAME SENSOR
The flame sensor is a probe mounted to the burner/manifold assembly which uses the principle of flame rectification to determine
the presence or absence of flame.
T
ROUBLESHOOTING
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Discharge body’s static electricity before touching unit.
An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical
components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the integrated control module from damage. By
putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid exposing the integrated control module to electrostatic discharge. This procedure
is applicable to both installed and uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to the
control prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic charge
to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnace
away from the control. Any tools held in a person’ s hand
during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution not
to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do not
move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded objects,
etc.). If you come in contact with an ungrounded object,
repeat step 2 before touching control or wires.
4. Discharge your body to ground before removing a new
control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if
installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or new
controls to their containers before touching any ungrounded
object.

Refer to the T roubleshooting Codes for assistance in determining
the source of unit operational problems. The dual 7-segment LED
display will display an error code that may contain a letter and
number. The error code may be used to assist in troubleshooting
the unit.
RESETTING FROM LOCKOUT
Furnace lockout results when a furnace is unable to achieve ignition after three attempts during a single call for heat. It is characterized by a non-functioning furnace and a E 0 code displayed on
the dual 7-segment display . If the furnace is in “lockout”, it will (or
can be) reset in any of the following ways.
1. Automatic reset. The integrated control module will
automatically reset itself and attempt to resume normal
operations following a one hour lockout period.
2. Manual power interruption. Interrupt 1 15 volt power to the
furnace.
3. Manual thermostat cycle. Lower the thermostat so that
there is no longer a call for heat for 1 -20 seconds then
reset to previous setting.
NOTE: If the condition which originally caused the lockout still
exists, the control will return to lockout. Refer to the T roubleshootingCodes for aid in determining the cause.

ANNUAL INSPECTION
HORIZONTAL UNIT FILTER REMOVAL
The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer , or service
agency at least once per year. This check should be performed at
the beginning of the heating season. This will ensure that all furnace components are in proper working order and that the heating
system functions appropriately . Pay particular attention to the following items. Repair or service as necessary .
•Flue pipe system. Check for blockage and/or leakage.
Check the outside termination and the connections at
and internal to the furnace.
•Heat exchanger. Check for corrosion and/or buildup within
the heat exchanger passageways.
•Burners. Check for proper ignition, burner flame, and
flame signal.
•Drainage system. Check for blockage and/or leakage.
Check hose connections at and internal to furnace.
•Wiring. Check electrical connections for tightness and/
or corrosion. Check wires for damage.
Improper filter maintenance is the most common cause of inadequate heating or cooling performance. Filters should be cleaned
(permanent) or replaced (disposable) every two months or as required. When replacing a filter, it must be replaced with a filter of
the same type and size.
FILTER REMOVAL
Depending on the installation, differing filter arrangements can be
applied. Filters can be installed in either the central return register
or a side panel external filter rack (upflow only). A media air filter or
electronic air cleaner can be used as an alternate filter. Follow the
filter sizes given in the Recommended Minimum Filter size table
to ensure proper unit performance.
To remove filters from an external filter rack in an upright upflow
installation, follow the directions provided with external filter rack
kit.
Filters in horizontal installations are located in the central return
register or the ductwork near the furnace.
T o remove:
1. Turn OFF electrical power to furnace.
2. Remove filter(s) from the central return register or ductwork.
3. Replace filter(s) by reversing the procedure for removal.
4. Turn ON electrical power to furnace.
MEDIA AIR FILTEROR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER REMOVAL
Follow the manufacturer’s directions for service.
BURNERS
Visually inspect the burner flames periodically during the heating
season. Turn on the furnace at the thermostat and allow several
minutes for flames to stabilize, since any dislodged dust will alter
the flames normal appearance. Flames should be stable, quiet,
soft, and blue (dust may cause orange tips but they must not be
yellow). They should extend directly outward from the burners
without curling, floating, or lifting off. Flames must not impinge on
the sides of the heat exchanger firing tubes.
INDUCED DRAFTAND CIRCULATOR BLOWERS
The bearings in the induced draft blower and circulator blower motors are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. No further
lubrication is required. Check openings on motor housing for
accumulation of dust which may cause overheating. Clean as necessary .
CONDENSATE TRAPAND DRAIN SYSTEM (QUALIFIED SERVICER
ONLY)
Annually inspect the drain tubes, drain trap, and field-supplied drain
line for proper condensate drainage. Check drain system for hose
connection tightness, blockage, and leaks. Clean or repair as
necessary .
FLAME SENSOR (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
Under some conditions, the fuel or air supply can create a nearly
invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating acts as an
insulator causing a drop in the flame sense signal. If the flame
sense signal drops too low the furnace will not sense flame and
will lock out. The flame sensor should be carefully cleaned by a
qualified servicer using emery cloth or steel wool. Following cleaning, the flame sense signal should be as indicated in the Specifications Sheet.
