1. INTRODUCTION
This service manual is designed to be used in conjunction
with the installation manual and/or technical support manual
provided with each furnace.
These furnaces represent the very latest in high efficiency
gas furnace technology. Consequently, they incorporate the
use of certain controls that contain highly sophisticated electronic components which are not user serviceable. there-
fore, it is essential that only competent, qualified, service
personnel attempt to install, service, or maintain this product.
This Service manual was written to assist the professional
HVAC service technician to quickly and accurately diagnose
and repair any malfunction of this product.
This service manual covers several different models in two
(2) families of our new multi--position furnaces; Variable
Speed (D.C.-- Blower Motor) models in the Condensing furnace family, and 2 speed (P.S.C.--Blower Motor) models in
both the Condensing and Non--Condensing furnace families.
The overall operation of all of these models and families is
essentially the same, with the exception of the Blower Motor,
and/or certain control functions which may be unique to a
particular model and/or family.

ELS”. G ENE RALLY, t he dist inct ion between t hese two
groups is based on a difference in the type of Blower Motor
used. These may not be the only differences, however,
and the differences may vary from model to model within a
particular family or series.
It will be necessary then for you to accurately identify the
unit you are servicing, so you may be certain of a proper
diagnosis and repair. (See Unit Identification, Page 3)

3. FURNACE THEORY OF OPERATION
The high efficiencies and lower profile (compared to previous
series) of this furnace have been obtained using design techniques not typical of traditional furnace designs. A brief description of these new design techniques and the purpose
they serve follows.
1. Reducing the height of the furnace while maintaining
the high efficiency of pervious models required working the heat exchanger more efficiencly and yet minimizing the overall size.
The design required to achieve these results is the “SERPENTINE” design, wherein the flue gasses must follow a
serpent shaped passage through the heat exchanger via
convection.
This “Serpentine” path is resistive to normal convective flow,
and requires that a partial vacuum be created at the outlet
of the heat exchanger to maintain the flow of flue products
through the heat exchanger.
2. The serpentine heat exchanger design does not lend
itself well to the ribbon type, or slotted port type burner
found in more traditional design furnaces for the following reasons:
A.The s econdary combustion airflows at right angles to the
burner flame, making it likely to “pull” the flame off a ribbon
or slotted port type burner.
D C Motor Control
(some models)
dwg 25-- 23--29a
B.The flame “height” of a ribbon or slotted port type burner
would make it difficult (if not impossible) to prevent impingement of the flame on the heat exchanger surfaces
whole maintaining the low profile heat exchanger.
For these reasons, an “INSHOT” type burner is used in this
series. The inshot burner (also called a “jet” burner) fires a
flame straight out its end. This burner is designed to fire into
a tube style heat exchanger, making it an ideal application in
the tube--like passages of the serpentine heat exchanger.
3. In order to extract the maximum amount of heat possible from the flue gasses, a secondary heat exchanger (condenser) is connected to the outlet of the primary
heat exchanger. This condenser removes additional
heat from the flue gasses, causing their temperature to
drop below dew point, thus increasing operating efficiency of the furnace, and the term “Condensing Fur-nace”. This results in the forming of condensation (water) which then must be routed to a drain.
4. The placement of the secondary heat exchanger at the
outlet of the primary heat exchanger creates additional
resistance to the flow of gasses.
5. To overcome the resistance to convective flow of the
Primary and Secondary heat exchangers requires the
use of an Induced Draft Combustion Blower Assembly.

6. The Combustion Blower Assembly is mounted on the
outlet side of the Secondary heat exchanger, This
blower creates a partial vacuum (negative pressure)
within the heat exchangers drawing the flue products
out of the furnace.
4. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
!
Electrical shock hazard.
Turn OFF electric power at fuse box or service panel
before making any electrical connections and ensure a proper ground connection is made before
connecting line voltage.
Failure to do so can result in death, personal injury
and/or property damage.
SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The furnace cannot be expected to operate correctly unless
it is properly connected (wired) to an adequately sized (15
amp.) single branch circuit.
7. The Combustion Blower Assembly is mounted on the
outlet side of the Secondary heat exchanger, This
blower creates a partial vacuum (negative pressure)
within the heat exchangers drawing the flue products
out of the furnace.
5. An alternate check would be to check for continuity
from the Neutral to a cold water pipe, (Pipe must be
metal, and must have a continuous, uninterrupted connection to ground) or to a continuous, uninterrupted
connection to ground) or to a driven ground rod.
6. Any readings other than zero Ohms would indicate a
poor ground, or no ground.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE
Supply voltage to the furnace should be a nominal 115 volts.
It MUST be between 97 volts and 132 volts. Supply voltage
to the furnace should be checked WITH THE FURNACE IN
OPERATION. Voltage readings outside the specified range
can be expected to cause operating problems. Their cause
MUST be investigated and corrected.
ELECTRICAL GROUND
Grounding of the electrical supply to ALL FURNACES IS
REQUIRED for safety reasons.
POLARITY
CORRECT POLARITY of the line voltage supply to all furnaces is also REQUIRED for safety reasons.
CHECKING GROUNDING AND POLARITY
Grounding may be verified as follows:
1. Turn the power supply “OFF”.
2. Using an Ohmmeter check for continuity between the
Neutral (white) wire and Ground wire (green) of the
supply circuit.
3. With the Ohmmeter set on the R x 1 scale, the reading
should be zero Ohms.
4. A zero Ohm reading indicates that the neutral is
grounded back to the main panel.
W2
W2
Polarity may be verified as follows:
1. Turn the power supply “ON”.
2. Using a Voltmeter check for voltage between the Hot
(Black) and Neutral (White) wire of supply circuit.
3. Reading should be Line (Supply) Voltage.
4. Check for Voltage between the Neutral (White) wire
and Ground wire of the supply circuit.
5. Reading should be zero Volts. (if line voltage is read,
polarity is reversed)
6. A zero Volt reading indicates there is no voltage potential on Neutral wire.
7. Double check by checking for voltage between the Hot
(Black) wire and Ground wire of the supply circuit.
8. Reading should be Line (supply) Vo ltage.(ifzero
volts is read, there is no ground, or polarity is reversed.)

5. INTERLOCK SWITCH
The blower compartment door of all models is equipped with
an interlock switch. This switch is “Normally Open” (closes
when the door is on the furnace) and interrupts furnace operation when the door is open. This interlock switch is a safety device, and SHOULD NEVER BE BY--PASSED.
Since this is a single pole switch, (breaking only one side of
the line) proper line voltage is essential to insure that furnace
components are not “HOT” when switch is open. (See
Checking Grounding and Polarity)

OPERATING. Inlet (Supply) pressure to the furnace under
these conditions MUST be a minimum of 4.5² W.C. (Water
Column). If the inlet pressure is less, it may be an indication
of undersized piping or regulator problems.
L.P. GAS
Inlet (Supply) pressure to the furnace should be checked in
the same manner as for Natural Gas, however with L.P. Gas,
the inlet pressure MUST be a minimum of 11² W.C. If this
cannot be obtained, problems are indicated in either the regulator or pipe sizing.

Manifold
Pressure
An adequately sized gas supply to the furnace is required for
proper operation. Gas piping which is undersized will not provide sufficient capacity for proper operation. Piping should
be sized in accordance with accepted industry standards.
CHECKING INPUT (FIRING) RATE
Once it has been determined that the gas supply is correct
to the furnace, it is necessary to check the input (firing) rate,
This can be done in two (2) ways. First by checking and adjusting (as necessary) the manifold (Outlet) pressure. The
second way is to “Clock” the gas meter.

7. L.P. PRESSURE SWITCH
Models converted to operate on L.P. Gas will be installed
with an L.P. Pressure Switch. The switch will be located in the
gas supply line (in a “Tee”fitting), just ahead of the gas valve.
The purpose of this switch is to prevent furnace operating under low line (Supply) pressure conditions. Operating under
low line pressure conditions, can create problems such as incomplete combustion, flashback, sooting, etc.
The switch is a “Normally Open” pressure operated switch
that is wired in series with the furnace (Lo--fire) pressure
switch. The L.P. Pressure Switch closes when line (Supply)
pressure is 8.0² W.C. or higher. the L.P. Pressure Switch
Opens if line pressure falls below 6.0²+0.6² W.C. interrupting power to the gas valve.
It is located (electrically) between the Main Limit Switch and
the furnace (vent) pressure switch. The switcht is located
(electrically) between the Furnace (Lo--fire) pressure switch
and the gas Valve.
8. HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
These furnaces are designed to operate in the majority of the
country without modifications. At altitudes over 2,000¢ above
sea level, however, certain measures need to be taken to insure continued, safe reliable operation. For example, units
must be de--rated for altitude (by adjusting manifold pressure and/or changing orifice size) based upon the type of fuel
(I.E. Natural Gas or L.P. gas), Btu content of the gas, and
installed altitude.
Service
Figure 6
ALL UNITS must have a high altitude pressure switch
installed at altitudes above 4,000¢ above sea level.
When servicing a unit installed at altitudes above 2,000¢ insure that it has been properly modified to operate at that altitude. See the sections on Gas pressure, and pressure
switches to obtain specific information for you particular
installation altitude.

9. BURNERS
Burners used in this series of furnace are of the “INSHOT”
type. Their operation can be compared to that of a torch in
that they produce a hard, sharp, somewhat noisy flame.
Noise should not be an issue, however, because of the
closed burner box design. In order to insure that the burners
are operating properly , and at their design noise level, proper
adjustment of the gas (manifold) pressure is essential. For
further information on manifold pressure adjustments check
the section on “Gas Supply”.
The burners used in this series ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH
AIR SHUTTERS, as none are required. Proper operation
(flame characteristics) is obtained by insuring that the orifice
size, and manifold pressure are correct for the fuel being
used and the altitude of the installation.

The furnace is designed to operate within a certain specified
range of temperature rise.
Operating the furnace outside the specified range may result
in lower efficiency and/or comfort levels, as well as premature combustion component failures.
Simply stated, the temperature rise through the furnace is
the difference in temperature between the return air, and the

Operate the furnace for 15 minutes before taking temperature readings. Subtract the return air temperature from the
supply air temperature. The result is the temperature rise.
Compare with the allowable rise listed for the model (size)
you are checking.
Temperature Rise can be checked by placing a thermometer
in the return air duct within 6¢ of furnace. Place a second thermometer in the supply duct at lease two (2) ft. away from the
furnace. (This will prevent any false readings caused by radiation from the furnace heat exchanger) Make sure that the
FILTER IS CLEAN and that ALL REGISTERS AND/OR
DAMPERS ARE OPEN.
If the rise is not within the specified range, it will be necessary
to change the heating blower speed. If the rise is too high,
it will be necessary to increase the blower speed. If the

Room thermostats are available from several different
manufactures in a wide variety of styles. They range from the
very simple and inexpensive Bi--metallic type to the complex.
They are simply a switch (or series of switches) designed to
turn equipment (or components) “ON” or “OFF” at the desired conditions.
440 08 2002 02
Solution: Increase Blower Speed
An improperly operating, or poorly located room thermostat
can be the source of perceived equipment problems. A careful check of the thermostat and wiring must be made then to
insure that it is not the source of problems.

LOCATION
The thermostat should not be mounted where it may be affected by drafts, discharge air from registers (hot or cold), or
heat radiated from the sun of appliances. Never install in alcoves, bathrooms or bedrooms.
The thermostat should be located about 5 ft. above the floor
in an area of average temperature, with good air circulation.
Normally, an area in close proximity to the return air grille is
the best choice.
Mercury bulb type thermostats MUST be level to control temperature accurately to the desired set--point. Electronic digital type thermostats SHOULD be level for aesthetics.
HEAT ANTICIPATORS
Heat anticipators are small resistance heaters built into most
electric--mechanical thermostats. Their purpose is to prevent wide swings in room temperature during furnace operation.
In order to accomplish this, the heat output from the anticipator must be the same regardless of the current flowing
through it. Consequently , most thermostats have an adjustment to compensate for varying current draw in the thermostat circuit.
The proper setting of heat anticipators then is important to
insure proper temperature control and customer satisfaction.
The best method to obtain the required setting for the heat
anticipator, is to measure the actual current draw in the con-
trol circuit (“W”) using a low range (0--2.0 Amps) Ammeter.
(See Figure 10) After measuring the current draw, simply
set the heat anticipator to match that value.
Figure 10
Measuring Current Draw
W
Amps
R
Subbase
Ammeter
If a low range ammeter is not available, a “Clamp--on” type
meter may be used as follows:
1. Wrap EXACTLY ten (10) turns of wire around the jaws
of a clamp--on type ammeter.
2. Connect one end of the wire to the “W” terminal of the
thermostat sub--base, and the other to the “R” terminal.
3. Turn power on, and wait approximately 1 minute, then
read meter.
4. Divide meter reading by 10 to obtain correct anticipator
setting.
NOTE: For 2 Stage heating thermostats the above proce-
dure MUST be perform ed twic e. Once for first
stage (W
1), and once f or s econd st age (W2), if
both stages have adjustable heat anticipators.
If an ammeter is not available, a setting of 0.10 amps may
be used for models equipped with the HONEYWELL
SV9541Q Gas Valve/Ignition Control. They should, however, provide satisfactory operation in most cases.
Electronic thermostats do not use a resistance type anticipator. These thermostats use a microprocessor (computer)
that determines a cycle rate based on a program loaded into
it at the factory.
These cycle rates are normally field adjustable for different
types to equipment. The method of adjustment, however,
varies from one thermostat manufacturer to another. Check
with the thermostat manufacturer to find out the proper way
of adjusting the cycle rate.

12. CONTROL WIRING
Control wiring is an important part of the total equipment
installation, since it provides the vital communications link
between the thermostat, and the equipment. It is often
overlooked as the source of equipment malfunctions. Control wiring that is either too long, undersized, or improperly
connected (be it simply loos e, or on the wrong terminal)
can in fact be the source of many equipment problems.
Two- Stage Multi Position Furnace
operation, the furnace will shift from low fire to high fire as
requested by the thermostat. The thermostat heat anticipators should be adjusted to a .10 setting for both types of thermostats.
Low voltage connections to furnace must be made on terminal board to fan control.
ALWA YS check to make sure that the control wiring is connected to the proper terminal(s) of the equipment and thermostat you are using. Remem ber, also, that therm ost at
terminals are not always identified alike by different thermostat manufacturers. Connections MUST be clean and
tight to insure trouble--free operation.
The controls of this series of 2--Stage furnaces ar e designed to provide 2--Stage operation using a Two (2) Stage
Thermostat, ONLY as follows:
The 2--stage furnace control will operate with either a single
stage or a two stage heating thermostat and will provide
2--stage heating operation. For single stage thermostat
installations, the R and W wires from the thermostat connect
to the R and W1 connections on the furnace control. Note:
The fourth (4th) DIP switch must be in the off position, failure
to change DIP switch will result in Lo Fire ONLY operation.
(See furnace wiring digram) See “Furnace Wiring Diagram”
for switch settings. Failure to set DIP switch will result in Lo
fire operation ONLY with single stage thermostat. During operation, the furnace will operate on low fire for 12 minutesIf
the heat request exists for more than 12 minutes. If the heat
request exists for more that 12 minutes, the furnace will automatically shift to the high fire mode for the remaining duration
of the heating cycle. For two stage thermostat installations,
the R, W1 and W2 wires from the thermostat connect to the
R, W1 and W2 connections on the furnace control. During
The ELECTRO NI C CONTROLS used on t his series RESPOND DIFFERENTL Y to certain control wiring practices
which have been generally accepted in the HVAC industry
for many years.
For Example: For years, installers have run a wire from the
“Y” t er m inal of the room thermost at and connec t ed it directly to the contactor coil of a condensing unit. (not making any connection to the furnace with this wire) Then, run
the low voltage “Common” wire from the condensing unit
back to the “C” terminal of the furnace.
With the HONEYWELL ST9162A electronic Fan Timer/
Furnace Control used in the models of this series, however, the “Y” terminal of the furnace does in fact serve a particular purpose. Failure to connect it will result in certain
improper operation as follows:
The COOLING fan speed is energized via the “Y” terminal.
Failure to connect the thermostat “Y” terminal to the “Y”
terminal on the control will result in the failure to energize
the COOLING speed on a call for cooling from the thermostat. (Depending upon the model, either the LOW HEATING speed or the CIRCULATING speed will be energized
instead via the “G” terminal)
For more detailed information about this control, see the
section on the ST9162A control beginning on page 23 of
this manual.
13. LIMIT SWITCHES
Two (2) different kinds of limit switches are used on this series of furnaces. They are the main limit and roll out limit
switches. The main limit, and roll out limit switches are used
on all models.
NOTE: All limit switches are safety devices and other
than for testing purposes, should never be jumped out!
Limit switches are “normally closed” electrical switches, designed to open when their predetermined “limit setting” has
been reached.
It should also be remembered, that when a limit switch
opens, it more than likely is not due to a bad switch! The
cause of the opening limit must be found and corrected, be-
440 08 2002 02
fore the furnace can resume proper operation.
!
Fire hazard.
Limit controls are factory preset and MUST NOT be
adjusted. Use ONLY manufacturer’s authorized
replacement parts.
Failure to do so can result in death, personal injury
and/or property damage.
The specific functions of the two (2) limit switches used in
this series of furnaces are as follows:
10
Page 13
Two- Stage Multi Position Furnace
Service
Manual
MAIN LIMIT SWITCH
A “Normally Closed” switch located on the front partition of
the furnace. It monitors supply air temperature, and interrupts furnace (burner) operation when a supply air temperature is sensed which would result in the furnace exceeding
Maximum allowable outlet air temperature. While the main
limit is open, combustion blower, and/or the circulating blower will be energized continuously. This control is an “Automatic” reset control, which will reset itself when the temperature sensed drops to a safe level.
If furnace (burner) cycles on this limit switch, (I.E. switch
opens and closes during furnace operation) it is more than
likely due to a high temperature rise through the furnace.
(See checking temperature on page 8 of this manual)
High temperature rise can be caused by either OVER
FIRING (high manifold pressure. incorrect orifices, etc.) or
LOW AIR FLOW (dirty filter, blower speed too low, excessive
static in duct system, etc.)
Figure 11
Typical Limit Switch
If, however , the switch is found to be opening prematurely,
then it should be replaced. When replacing ANY limit switch,
use ONLY a switch of EXACTLY the same temperature setting. Use of a different temperature limit switch can create a
dangerous situation. Some of the main limit switches used
in this series are SIMILAR IN APPEARANCE. DIFFERENT
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS, HOWEVER, ARE USED for
different models. Be certain you have the correct control for
the model you are servicing.
ROLL OUT LIMITS
Those “Normally Closed” unit switches (wired in series with
the Main Limit switch) on the top are mounted on the bottom
(left & right) of the burner box.
The switches are manual reset type. When replacing this
switch, be absolutely certain the correct one is used.
Figure 12
Typical Roll Out Limit Switch
To verify this, the cut--out (opening) point of the switch should
be checked (using a thermocouple type thermometer connected to the face of the switch) as follows:
1. Operate furnace for several minutes.
2. Block return air grille(s) to furnace.
3. Observe temperature at which switch opens (burner
operation ceases).
4. Remove blockage from return grille(s).
5. Observe temperature at which switch closes (burner
operation resumes).
6. Compare readings with the limit setting listed in the
appropriate chart for the model you are servicing.
If switch is opening within the specified range, then it is simply doing its job, and the cause of the over--temperature must
be determined and corrected.
CAUTION
NEVER use an automatic reset roll out switch to replace
a manual reset type roll out switch.
Doing so may cause potentially unsafe and/or intermittent operation.
The roll out switch monitors the temperature inside the burner box, and interrupts furnace (burner) operation when its
temperature indicates flame roll out has occurred.
If the roll out switch has opened, the cause must be determined. Some possible reasons for flame roll out include a restricted primary or secondary heat exchanger or over fired
furnace.
MANUAL RESET SWITCH MODELS
Furnace models which are equipped with a Honeywell
ST9162A Fan timer/furnace control use a manual reset roll
out switch. Once the roll out switch has opened, burner operation will be prevented until the roll out switch is “Manually
Reset” by pressing the red button located on the switch.
While the roll out switch is open, (Depending upon the particular model) the combustion blower and/or circulating blower
will be energized continuously.

14. PRESSURE SWITCHES
Two- Stage Multi Position Furnace
TRANSITION PRESSURE SWITCH
Under normal operating conditions, sufficient pressure is developed by the exhaust (combustion) blower to close the
switch, and permit the burner to operate. As the condensate
drain begins to back--up, however, the pressure begins to reduce. When the pressure drops sufficiently, burner operation
will be prevented until the condition is corrected.

BLOWER PRESSURE SWITCH
An air proving switch (pressure switch) is used on all models
to insure that a draft has been established through the heat
exchanger before allowing burner operation.
To insure continued SAFE, RELIABLE, operation, NEVER
SUBSTITUTE a pressure switch with one that is similar in
appearance.ONLYFACTORYPROVIDEDor
AUTHORIZED SUBSTITUTES ARE ACCEPTABLE.
All models installed at altitudes of 4,000¢ above sea level or
higher require replacing the standard pressure switch with a
high altitude pressure switch. The different pressure switch
settings allow continued SAFE, RELIABLE, high altitude
operation.
Always check current “Technical Support Manual”for
Part Nos.
Under normal operating conditions, sufficient negative pressure will be created to close the pressure switch, and keep
it closed to keep furnace operating. Under abnormal conditions, however, such as a restricted vent pipe, or a leak in one
of the heat exchangers, sufficient negative pressure will not
be created. This will result in the switch failing to close or failing to remain closed during furnace operation.

When servicing a unit whose pressure switch will not close,
or remain closed during operation, the operating pressure of
that furnace should be checked and compared to
approximate operating pressures listed in Tab l e 3 and the
switch setting(s) listed above for the model family you are
servicing.
It is important to remember, that greater negative pressures
are created by the furnace when “Hot” (I.E. upon initial start-up) than when “Cold” (I.E. after furnaces has been in operation for a few minutes). Because of this, furnace pressure
should ONLY be checked when “HOT” to insure accurate
readings.
Tab l e 3 lists approximate operating pressures for Direct
Vent (I.E. Two Pipe) installations of models in this series.
They were obtained in a test lab, under controlled conditions
using two (2) specific vent lengths. They are included in this
manual to provide you with a “Barometer” to gauge our pressures against. The pressures you obtain in the field will differ
slightly from these figures based upon vent length, gas pressure, operating temperature, etc.
Major discrepancies in pressures, will normally cause
problems with pressure switch operation. These Major discrepancies should be investigated as follows:

Vent and combustion air piping are an extremely important
part of the total furnace installation. Improperly installed or
inadequately sized vent and/or combustion air piping can be
the source of many perceived furnace problems.
For example, most problems associated with pressure
switch operation can normally be traced to short comings in
the vent and/or combustion air piping. Anytime these type

problems arise, a thorough inspection of the vent and/or
combustion air piping should be conducted.
ALL MODELS require a vent (exhaust) pipe to carry flue
products to the outside of the structure.
Direct VENT (ONLY) models require a combustion air inlet
to bring in all air for combustion from outside the structure.

19. CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP
This furnace removes both sensible and latent heat from the
products of combustion. Removal of the latent heat results in
condensation of the water vapor. The condensate is removed from the furnace through the drains in the plastic transition and the vent fitting. The drains connect to the externally mounted condensate drain trap on the left or right side of
the furnace. Refer to Figure 26.
The condensate drain trap supplied with the furnace MUST
be used. The drain line between the condensate drain trap
and the drain location must be constructed of
CPVC pipe.
The drain line must maintain a
1
/4² per foot downward slope
toward the drain.

DO NOT trap the drain line in any other location than at the
condensate drain trap supplied with the furnace.
If possible DO NOT route the drain line where it may freeze.
The drain line must terminate at an inside drain to prevent
freezing of the condensate and possible property damage.
1. A condensate sump pump MUST be used if required
by local codes, or if no indoor floor drain is available.
The condensate pump must be approved for use with
acidic condensate.
2. A plugged condensate drain line or a failed condensate
pump will allow condensate to spill. If the furnace is
installed where a condensate spill could cause damage, it is recommended that an auxiliary safety switch
be installed to prevent operation of the equipment in
the event of pump failure or plugged drain line. If used,
an auxiliary safety switch should be installed in the R
circuit (low voltage) ONLY.

The ST9162A Heating Fan“OFF” delay can be set to ei-
ther 60,100,140, or 180 seconds. The control was shipped
out in the 140 second position. This may be satisfactory for
some installations, but not for others.
The HONEYW E LL S T 9162A Electronic Fan Timer/Furnace Control is an integrated electronic control, which contains NO USER SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS. In addition to controlling the fan operation for heating, it also takes
the place of the blower relay, combustion air relay and/or
system relay.
The ST9162A is used in conjunction with the SV 9541Q
GAS VALVE/IGNITION CONTROL. It provides the power
source to begin the ignition sequence through a monitored
safety circuit. It serves as a low voltage terminal strip, and
provides accessory terminals for a Humidifier, Electronic
Air cleaner and a “Continuous” terminal which can be used
on models equipped with a Permeate Split Capacitor
(P.S.C.) motor (ONLY) to provide continuous fan operation
at a speed other than either the heating or cooling speed.

It contains sophisticated electronic components (internally)
and has NO USER SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS.
Should a problem be verified internally within the device,
IT IS NOT FIELD REPAIRABLE, and must be replaced.
The Pilot Hardware includes the pilot burner, the hot surface element that lights the pilot burner, the flame rod that
senses pilot flame, and the cable that attaches to the system control.
The hot surface element is made of a tough break resistant
ceramic composite material. It operates on 24 Volts A.C.
The Igniter/Flame Rod assembly can be replaced independently from the pilot burner assembly.
The hot surface igniter can be checked for resistance. A
“Good” igniter will have a resistance of 10 Ohms or less.
Flame current for this system should be 2.0 microamps or
higher. Carrier voltage for flame signal (i.e. flame rod to
valve body) is 80 volts or higher.

NOTE1) Furnaces with DC blower motors run a low circulating fan speed in response to G request.
NOTE2) Furnaces with PSC blower motors de--energize the Low Heat fan speed during the heat exchanger warm--up
period on a call for Heating that occurs during a G request.
NOTE3) Heating or Cooling requests received during a Fan request cause the fan speed to change to the appropriate heat
or cool speed after the selected Fan On Delay time expires. The fan returns to circulating speed after the selected Fan Off
Delay time expires following loss of the Heating or Cooling request.
Heating (W1) Request (single stage thermostat operation, 4th DIP switch must be in off position) (see furnace
wiring diagram):
24 VAC signals applied to W1 terminal of EFT control.
Inducer motor turns on at high speed.

· The high fire solenoid energizes.
· Followinga3secondprepurge delay, the pilot valve opens and the ignitor begins to warm up.
· After the pilot lights, the main burners energize and light (burners now at high fire rate).
· Timed from the opening of the main gas valve, the control will delay the selected Heat Fan On Delay time before
switching the inducer to low speed, de--energizing the high fire solenoid and the fan switches to Low Heat speed.
· Timed from initial application of the Heating request, if the W1 request is still present after the selected Low Fire Delay
time expires (12 minutes), the inducer switches to high speed, the high fire solenoid energizes and the fan switches to
High Heat speed.
W1 signal removed from EFT.
· The gas valve de--energizes and the main burners go out.
· The inducer runs at its present speed for a 5 second postpurge period.
· The fan switches to (or stays at) Low Heat speed.
· Timed from the gas valve de--energizing, the Low Heat fan speed de--energizes after the selected Heat Fan
Delay time expires.
NOTE4) If a new Heating request arrives while the control is
waiting in the Heat Fan Off Delay time, the fan speed switches to
High Heat until the Heat Fan Off Delay expires or the Heat Fan
On Delay expires for the new Heating request.
Heating Request (two stage thermostat operation, 4th DIP switch must be in on position) (see furnace wiring
diagram):
24 VAC signals applied to W1 terminal of EFT control.

24. CHECKING FLAME CURRENT
The Honeywell SV9541Q Ignition system used in this furnace
series proves (verifies) flame via the Flame Rectification
method.
Flame Rectification is a process of converting Alternating
Current (A.C.) into Direct Current (D.C.) During the ignition
sequence, an alternating current (A.C.) Voltage is applied to
the Flame probe.
When the burner lights the flame conducts an electrical current between the flame probe and the burner ground. Due to

the difference in size between the flame probe and the burner ground area this current flows mostly in one direction. This
creates a pulsating Direct Current that flows back to the ignition control proving flame.
This flame current (D.C. Microamps) may be checked (while
flame is present) using a D.C. Flame Sensor kit is available
from outside vendors.
Permanent Split Capacitor (P.S.C.) motors are used on the
circulating (conditioned air) blower of 2 Speed models and
on the exhaust (combustion) blower of condensing models.
Before replacing one of these motors (assumed to be bad)
the condition of its capacitor should be verified, since it, and
not the motor, may be the source of the problem.
Note: *9MPT models use PSC motors on circulating blower
and on the 125 exhaust blower).
Before checking any capacitor, the supply power to the unit
should be turned “OFF”. The capacitor should then be discharged (through a resistor) before testing. A 20,000 Ohm
2 Watt resistor can be used for this purpose.
The condition of the capacitor should then be verified with a
capacitor analyzer (one that indicated the capacitor’s value
in microfarads) rather than with an Ohmmeter. The reason
for this, is that an Ohmmeter test can only indicate if a capacitor is “OPEN’, or “SHORTED”, it cannot verify if its value (microfarads) is within an acceptable range.
26. BLOWER ASSEMBLY
All variable Speed models use one of two different variable
speed (D.C. motor), direct--drive, blower assemblies. Different siz e (HP) motors and/or different diameter blower
wheels are used in t he different models to obt ain the r equired air flow.
All 2 Speed models use a multi--speed, permanent split capacitor mot or, direct --drive, blower ass embly. Differ ent
size (HP) motors and/or different diameter blower wheels
are used in each model to obtain the required air flow.
In all models entire blower assembly slides out on rails for
servicing after removing the two screws at the front of the
blower deck.

for 24 Volts across the “Common” (Blue) wire and the desired “Speed” wire of the six (6) pin connector at the motor.
With 24 VAC present, motor should run. If the motor Does
Not run, it is faulty and must be replaced. If 24 VAC is not
present, a problem is indicated in the thermostat, wiring, or

lected” for each particular installation to insure proper operation.
The criteria for selecting the proper blower speeds IS NOT
“High for Cooling, Low for Heating”. Although that may be
how it works out SOMETIMES, It can (in many cases) be
exactly the opposite. (I.E. a Lower speed for Cooling, and
a Higher speed for Heating)
The PROPER CRITERIA FOR SELECTING BLOWER
SPEEDS is as follows:
HEATING
A blower speed must be selected that will provide proper
temperature rise through the furnace. (See “checking temperature rise” f ound on page 9 of this manual). The required CFM for a particular temperature rise can also be
calculated by using the following formula:
Output BTU
Temp. Rise X 1.08 = CFM
EXAMPLE: Using a 75 M btu Non--Condensing furnace
(equipped with P.S.C. motor)of this series with an output of
60,000 Btuh and a desired temperature rise of 50 _F
(range of 35--65 _F allowable) and a measured external
static pressure of 0.2” W.C. while operating on medium-low speed with a dry coil.
60,000
50 X 1.0859.4= 1010 CFM
Checking the blower performance data for this model, (see
Tab l e 7) indicates that @ 0.2” W.C. E.S.P. m edium--low
speed delivers 1030 CFM . Accordingly, m edium-- low
speed is the proper speed to be used in this example for
the HEATING speed.
or60,000

2 Speed Models - P.S.C. Motor
The P.S.C. motor used in 2 speed models may be checked
using traditional Ohmmeter test methods. I.E. Checking
from any speed tap lead (black, orange, blue, or r ed) to
Neutral (white) should indicate continuity. While checking
from any motor lead to the motor case should indicate infinity (no continuity). Before condemning any P. S . C . m o t o r
be sure to verify the condition of its capacitor.
SELECTING BLOWER SPEEDS
The wide variet y of applications and inst allat ions of furnaces throughout the country makes it impossible to “Factory Select” blower speeds that will provide proper operation for all installations. This means then, that the blower
speeds for both heating and cooling must be “F ield Se-
COOLING
A blower speed must be selected that will provide proper
air flow (Nominal 400 CFM per ton) for the size (capacity)
air conditioning coil being used at the external static pressure of the Duct syst em (installation).This r equires
CHECKING THE EXTERNA L STATIC PRESSURE, and
then consulting the BLOWER PERFORMANCE DA TA to
determine the required speed tap.
EXAMPLE: A 24,000 BTU (2 ton) air conditioning system,
using the same 75,000 BTU furnace as in the previous example. The external static pressure is measured with the
unit operat ing on Low speed, and found to be 0.4” W.C.
with a wet coil.
400 CFM (nominal) per ton required
400 X 2 = 800 CFM required
Checking t he blower performanc e data (see Table 7)for
this m odel indicates that @ 0.4” W.C. ESP low speed is
delivering 735 CFM. Accordingly, low speed is the proper
speed to be used in this example for the COOLING speed.

EXTERNAL STATIC PRESSURE (ESP)
External Static Pressure can best be defined as the pressure difference (drop) between the Positive Pressure (discharge) and the Negative Pressur e (intake) sides of the
blower. E xter nal St atic Pressure is developed by t he
blower as a result of resistance to airflow (Friction) in the
air distribution system EXTERNAL to the furnace cabinet.
(i.e pressure inside duct)
Resistance applied externally to the furnace (I.E. Duct
work, Coils, Humidifiers, Filters, Etc.) on either the Supply
or Return side of the system, causes an INCREASE in External Static Pressure, accompanied by a REDUCTION in
airflow.
ESP is affected by two (2) factors.
1. Resistance to Airflow as explained above.
2. Blower Speed. Changing to a higher or lower blower
speed tap will raise or lower the External Static Pressure accordingly.
These effects MUST be understood and taken into consideration when checking ESP/ Airflow to insure that the system is operating within design conditions.
Operating a system with Insufficient or Excessive air flow
can cause a variety of different operating problems.
Among t hese are prem at ure heating com ponent and/ or
compressor failures, reduced capacity, freezing evaporator coils, etc.
System air flow should ALWAYS be verified upon completion of a new installation, or BEFORE a change--out, heat
exchanger replac ement , or in the case of a compressor
failure to insure that the failure was not caused by improper air flow.

CHECKING EXTERNAL STATIC PRESSURE
The air flow through the unit can be determined by measuring the external static pressure of the system, and consulting
the blower performance data for the particular model furnace
you have.
1. Set up to measur e external st at ic press ure at t he supply and r et urn duct connections (See F igure 34).
2. Drill holes in the ducts for pressure taps, pitot tubes, or
other accurate pressure sensing devices.
3. Connect these taps to a level inclined manometer or
Magnehelic gauge.
4. Ensure the coil and filter are clean, and all the registers
are open.
5. Determine the external static pressure with the blower
operating.
6. Refer to the Air Flow Data for your particular furnace to
find the actual airflow for the current speed tap (or dip
switch setting).
7. If the Actual airflow is either too high, or too low, the
blower speed tap (or dip switch setting) will need to be
changed.
8.Refer to Changing Blower Speeds on the pages that follow for the proper procedure.
9. Select the speed tap (or dip switch setting) that appears to most closely provide the required air flow for
the system.
10. Recheck the external static pressure with the new
speed tap. External static pressure (and actual airflow) will both have changed (either higher, or lower),
depending upon speed tap selected. Recheck the actual airflow (at this “new” static pressure) to confirm
speed tap selection.
1 1. Repeat steps 9. and 10. (if necessary) until proper
Speed Tap (and airflow) has been obtained.

27. BLOWER ROTATION
·The startup of a furnace will involve a cycle or two of the furnace to properly prime the condensate trap with water. Until
the trap is fully primed, some condensate will be pulled into
the combustion blower. The furnace may cycle on the pressure switch connected to the plastic transition box due to condensate buildup. After the trap is primed, the condensate will
start draining from the furnace. The combustion blower will
clear out any remaining condensate in the blower housing
through the vent fitting downstream of the blower. Note that
the condensate trap can also be primed by pouring water into
the vent drain side of the trap. Remove the small plastic cap
and clamps from the unused drain stub on the vent drain side
of the condensate trap. Connect a section of the
with a funnel to the drain stub and pour eight (8) ounces of water into the trap. Remove the hose and replace the plastic cap
and clamp. This will prime both the vent and the transition
sides of the trap.
·The startup of a furnace will have “milky or oily”. looking condensate coming from the furnace. This is residual drawing
lube in the secondary heat exchanger that is being washed
out by the condensate. The condensate will clear up as the

·The use of a vent tee at the outlet of the condensate trap is not
required if the condensate drain line from the trap to the open
drain is properly sloped (
not trap the drain line in any other location than at the condensate trap.
·The combustion blowers and blower gaskets are different on
some of the furnace models. There are two part numbers of
the combustion blower for the 2--stage furnace models. (See
the Tech. Manual for the correct part number for the furnace.)
Besides the part number difference, the 50M, 75M and 100M
BTUH models use the shaded pole motor version with the
7
1
/8² diameter back plate with a raised lip. The blower gasket
is approximately 2
the recessed opening in the transition. The 125M BTUH models use the PSC motor version with the 2² diameter back plate
with no lip. The blower gasket is approximately 3
diameter and is positioned on the flat surface of the transition.
A mismatch of blower backplated and/or gaskets can cause
the furnace to cycle on the pressure switch or to not operate.
This could be misread as a condensate drainage problem.
Mount the condensate drain trap in a vertical position to either the
left or right side of the furnace using the two screws and gasket that
are provided. If needed, remove the hole plugs from the furnace
side panel and relocate to the open set of holes in the opposite side
panel. Drill two
7

sate trap as the template.
Ensure that the vent fitting and the 90° elbow is securely attached to
the combustion blower.
This configuration allows left side venting from the furnace. If right
side venting is required, the c ombustion blower must be relocated
on the plastic transitionbox. Remove the four(4) screws that secure
the blower to the transition. Rotate the blower 180° and secure with
the four(4) screws. Use caution to not over tighten the screws to prevent stripping out of the plastic mounting holes.
For right side venting, remove vent fitting assembly from combustion blower. Remove 90° elbow and rubber tubing from the vent fitting by loosening the c lamp on the vent fitting. Securely attach vent
fitting directly to combustion blower.
