CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit
operation or performance dissatisfaction.
These furnaces are equipped with a manual reset limit
switch in burner assembly. This switch opens and shuts off
power to the gas valve if an overheat condition (flame
rollout) occurs in the burner assembly/enclosure. Correct
inadequate combustion-air supply, improper gas pressure
setting, improper burner or gas orifice positioning, or
improper venting condition before resetting switch. DO
NOT jumper this switch.
Before operating furnace, check flame rollout manual reset
switch for continuity. If necessary, press button to reset switch.
EAC-1 terminal is energized whenever blower operates. HUM
terminal is only energized when the the gas valve is energized
in heating.
Thermostat Setup Switch
This furnace can be installed with either a single−stage heating
or a two−stage heating thermostat. Setup switch SW−1 (TT) is
used to configure the furnace for single or two stage thermostat
operation. (See Figure 4)
For single−stage thermostats, connect thermostat W to W/W1
at furnace control terminal block. (See Figure 7) For
single−stage thermostats, the control will operate for 12
minutes on low heat, then switch to high heat if heat call
remains. Setup switch SW−1 (TT) must be in the
factory−shipped OFF position. See Figure 7 and Figure 15 for
setup switch information.
If a two−stage heating thermostat is to be used, move setup
switch SW−1 (TT) to ON position before starting furnace. This
overrides built−in control process for selecting high and low
heat and allows the two−stage thermostat to select gas heating
modes. The W2 from thermostat must be connected to W2 on
control terminal block.
Prime Condensate Trap with Water
!WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow these warnings could result in personal injury
or death.
Failure to use a properly configured trap or NOT
water-priming trap before operating furnace may allow
positive pressure vent gases to enter the structure through
drain tube. Vent gases contain carbon monoxide which is
tasteless and odorless.
1. Remove upper and middle collector box drain plugs
opposite of the condensate trap. (See Figure 1)
2. Connect field-supplied 5/8-in. (16 mm) ID tube with
attached funnel (see Figure 1) to upper collector box
drain connection.
3. Pour one quart (liter) of water into funnel/tube. Water
should run through collector box, overfill condensate
trap, and flow into open field drain.
5. Connect field-supplied 5/8-in. (16 mm) ID tube to middle
collector box drain port.
6. Pour one quart (liter) of water into funnel/tube. Water
should run through collector box, overfill condensate
trap, and flow into open field drain.
7. Remove funnel and tube from collector box and replace
collector box drain plug.

causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Adjustments
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death and/or property damage.
DO NOT bottom out gas valve regulator adjusting screw.
This can result in unregulated manifold pressure and
result in excess overfire and heat exchanger failures.
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace
life.
DO NOT redrill orifices. Improper drilling (burrs,
out−of−round holes, etc.) can cause excessive burner
noise and misdirection of burner flames. This can result in
flame impingement of heat exchangers, causing failures.
(See Figure 2)
Figure 2Orifice Hole
For proper operation and long term reliability the furnace input
rate must be within +/−2 percent of input rate on furnace rating

NOTICE
The NATURAL GAS manifold pressure adjustments in Table 3
compensate for BOTH altitude AND gas heating value. DO
NOT apply an additional de−rate factor to the pressures shown
in Table 3.
The heating content of natural gas at altitude may already
provide for a reduction in capacity or altitude. Refer to Table 3.
No adjustments to the furnace may be necessary at altitude for
certain gas heating values.
Refer to the instructions provided in the factory-specified
LP/Propane conversion kit for instructions for setting gas
manifold pressures for LP/Propane applications.
In the USA, the input rating for altitudes above 2000 ft. (610 M)
must be reduced by 2 percent for each 1000 ft. (305 M) above
sea level refer to Table 1. The natural gas manifold pressures
in Table 3 adjust for BOTH altitude and natural gas heating
value.
In Canada, the input rating must be reduced by 5 percent for
altitudes of 2000 ft. to 4500 ft. (610 to 1372 M) above sea level.
The natural gas manifold pressures in Table 3 adjust for BOTH
altitude and natural gas heating value.
NOTE: For Canadian altitudes of 2000 to 4500 ft. (610 to 1372
M), use USA altitudes of 2001 to 3000 ft. (611 to 914 M) in
Table 3.

To adjust manifold pressure to obtain the proper input rate, first,
determine if the furnace has the correct orifice installed. At
higher altitudes or different gas heat contents, it may be
necessary to change the factory orifice to a different orifice.
Tables have been provided in the furnace Service and
Technical Manual to match the required orifice to the manifold
pressure to the heat content and specific gravity of the gas. to
do this:
1. Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed
altitude) from local gas supplier.

NOTE:
1. A filter is required for each return−air inlet. Airflow performance includes a 3/4 in. (19 mm) washable filter media such as contained in factory−authorized accessory
filter rack. See accessory list. To determine airflow performance without this filter, assume an additional 0.1 in. W.C. available external static pressure.
2. ADJUST THE BLOWER SPEED TAPS AS NECESSARY FOR THE PROPER AIR TEMPERATURE RISE FOR EACH INSTALLATION.
3. Shaded areas indicate that this airflow range is BELOW THE RANGE ALLOWED FOR HIGH−STAGE HEATING OPERATION. THESE AIRFLOW RANGES MAY
ONLY BE USED FOR LOW−STAGE HEAT OR COOLING.
4. Airflows over 1800 CFM require bottom return, two−side return, or bottom and side return. A minimum filter size of 20” x 25” is required.
5. For upflow applications, air entering from one side into both the side of the furnace and a return air base counts as a side and bottom return.
6. The ”−” entry indicates an unstable operating condition.
Check Safety Controls
The flame sensor, gas valve, and pressure switch were all
checked in the Start−up procedure section as part of normal
operation.
1. Check Main Limit Switch
This control shuts off combustion system and energizes
air−circulating blower motor, if furnace overheats. By
using this method to check the temperature limit control,
it can be established that the limit is functioning properly
and that the limit will operate if there is a restricted
return−air supply or motor failure. If the limit control does
not function during this test, the cause must be
determined and corrected.
a. Run furnace for at least 5 minutes.
b. Gradually block off return air with a piece of
cardboard or sheet metal until the limit trips.
c. Unblock return air to permit normal circulation.
d. Burners will re−light when furnace cools down.
2. Check Pressure Switch(es)
This control proves operation of the draft inducer blower.
a. Turn off 115−V power to furnace.
b. Disconnect inducer motor lead wires from wire
harness.
c. Turn on 115−V power to furnace.
d. Set thermostat to “call for heat” and wait 1 minute.
When pressure switch is functioning properly, hot
surface igniter should NOT glow and control
diagnostic light flashes a status code 3. If hot surface
igniter glows when inducer motor is disconnected,
shut down furnace immediately.
e. Determine reason pressure switch did not function
properly and correct condition.
EXTERNAL STATIC PRESSURE (IN.W.C.)
6
f. Turn off 115−V power to furnace.
g. Reconnect inducer motor wires, replace outer door,
and turn on 115−V power.
h. Blower will run for 90 seconds before beginning the
call for heat again.
i. Furnace should ignite normally.
Checklist
1. Put away tools and instruments. Clean up debris.
2. Verify that the jumper is removed from the TEST/TWIN
terminal. Verify that there is nothing plugged into the PLT
connector.
NOTE: Note: If there is a jumper connector plugged into PLT,
remove it and discard. (See Figure 14)
3. Verify that Heating Operating Mode switch SW−1 is set
properly.. (See Figure 14)
4. Verify that the Blower/Heat Off−Delay SW−2 and SW−3
switches are set as desired. (See Figure 14)
5. Verify that the blower (lower door in upflow position) and
control (“Main” or upper door in upflow position) doors
are properly installed.
6. Verify that the Status LED glows. If not, check that the
power supply is energized and that the blower door is
secure. (See Figure 14) to interpret diagnostic codes.
7. Cycle test furnace with room thermostat to be sure that it
operates properly with the room thermostat. Check all
modes including Heat, Cool and Fan.
8. Check operation of accessories per manufacturer’s
instructions.
9. Review Home Owner’s Information with owner.
10. Attach entire literature packet to furnace.

CAUTION
General
These instructions are written as if the furnace is installed in an
upflow application. An upflow furnace application is where the
blower is located below the combustion and controls section of
the furnace, and conditioned air is discharged upward. Since
this furnace can be installed in any of the 4 positions shown in
Figure 6, you must revise your orientation to component
location accordingly.
The electrical ground and polarity for 115−V wiring must be
properly maintained. Refer to Figure 7 for field wiring
information and to Figure 15 for furnace wiring information.
NOTE: If the polarity is not correct, the STATUS LED on the
control will flash code 10 and prevent the furnace from heating.
The control system also requires an earth ground for proper
operation of the control and flame−sensing electrode.
The 24−V circuit contains an automotive−type, 3−amp. fuse
located on the control. (See Figure 4) Any shorts of the 24−V
wiring during installation, service, or maintenance will cause
this fuse to blow. If fuse replacement is required, use ONLY a
3−amp. fuse. The control LED display will be off when fuse
needs to be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the service label. (See Figure 14—Service Label)
The Troubleshooting Guide − Flow Chart (See Figure 16) can
be a useful tool in isolating furnace operation problems.

Checking Heat Pad Operation (If Applicable)
In applications where the ambient temperature around the
furnace is 32_F (0_C) or lower, freeze protection measures are
required. If this application is where heat tape has been
applied, check to ensure it will operate when low temperatures
are present.
NOTE: The Heat Pad, when used, should be wrapped around
the condensate drain trap. There is no need to use heat tape
within the furnace casing. Most heat tapes are temperature
activated, and it is not practical to verify the actual heating of
the tape. Check the following:
1. Check for signs of physical damage to heat tape such as
nicks, cuts, abrasions, gnawing by animals, etc.
2. Check for discolored heat tape insulation. If any damage
or discolored insulation is evident, replace heat tape.
3. Check that heat tape power supply circuit is on.
Cleaning Heat Exchangers
The following items must be performed by a qualified service
technician.
Primary Heat Exchangers
If the heat exchangers get an accumulation of light dirt or dust
on the inside, they may be cleaned by the following procedure:
NOTE: If the heat exchangers get a heavy accumulation of
soot and carbon, both the primary and secondary heat
exchangers should be replaced rather than trying to clean them
thoroughly due to their intricate design. A build−up of soot and
carbon indicates that a problem exists which needs to be
corrected, such as improper adjustment of manifold pressure,
insufficient or poor quality combustion air, improper vent
termination, incorrect size or damaged manifold orifice(s),
improper gas, or a restricted heat exchanger (primary or
secondary). Action must be taken to correct the problem.
1. Turn off gas and electrical supplies to furnace.
2. Remove control door.
3. Disconnect wires or connectors to flame rollout switch,
gas valve, igniter, and flame sensor.
4. Using backup wrench, disconnect gas supply pipe from
furnace gas control valve.

Winterization
!
CAUTION
UNIT AND PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit
component or property damage.
If the furnace is installed in an unconditioned space
where the ambient temperatures may be 32_ F (0_ C) or
lower, freeze protection measures must be taken to
prevent property or product damage.
Since the furnace uses a condensing heat exchanger, some
water will accumulate in the unit as a result of the heat transfer
process. Therefore, once it has been operated, it cannot be
turned off and left off for an extended period of time when
temperatures will reach 32_F (0_C) or lower unless winterized.
Follow these procedures to winterize your furnace:
!

SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT MANUALGas Furnace: (F/G)9MXT
Sequence of Operation
NOTE: Furnace control must be grounded for proper operation
or control will lockout. Control is grounded through green wire
connected to gas valve and burner bracket screw. Using the
schematic diagram in Figure 15, follow the sequence of
operation through the different modes. Read and follow the
wiring diagram very carefully.
NOTE: If a power interruption occurs during a call for heat
(W/W1 or W/W1−and−W2), the control will run the blower for
the selected heat off−delay period two seconds after power is
restored, if the thermostat is still calling for gas heating. The
green LED light will flash a status code 1+2 during this period,
after which the LED will switch to a heartbeat, as long as no
faults are detected. After this period, the furnace will respond to
the thermostat normally.
The blower door must be installed for power to be conducted
through the blower door interlock switch ILK to the furnace
control CPU, transformer TRAN, inducer motor IDM, blower
motor BLWM, hot−surface igniter HSI, and gas valve GV.
Two−Stage Heating with Single−Stage Thermostat
NOTE: The thermostat type switch (TT) selects either the
two−stage thermostat operation mode when ON, (see item 2)
or the single stage thermostat operation mode when OFF in
response to a call for heat. When the W2 thermostat terminal is
energized it will always cause high−heat operation when the R
to W circuit is closed, regardless of the setting of the thermostat
type switch. This furnace can operate as a two−stage furnace
with a single−stage thermostat because the furnace control
CPU includes a programmed sequence of controlled operation,
which selects low−heat for the first 12 minutes of operation then
switches to high heat operation.
If the power is interrupted, the control CPU will operate in low
heat for 12 minutes then it will switch to high−heat, as long as
the thermostat continues to call for heat.
The wall thermostat “calls for heat”, closing the R to W circuit.
The furnace control performs a self−check, verifies the
low−heat and high−heat pressure switch contacts LPS and
HPS are open, and starts the inducer motor IDM in
high−speed. The HUM terminal is energized for a 115V
humidifier (if used).
a. Inducer Prepurge Period (see Figure 15 schematic
diagram)
(1.) Low heat (W/W1) the inducer motor IDM comes up
to high−speed, the low−heat pressure switch LPS
closes. After the low−heat pressure switch closes
the furnace control CPU will begin a 15−second
prepurge period, and continue to run the inducer
motor IDM at high−speed.
(2.) High Heat (W/W1+W2) the inducer motor IDM
comes up to high speed and the high−heat
pressure switch relay HPSR is de−energized to
close the NC contact. When sufficient pressure is
available, the high−heat pressure switch HPS
closes, and the high−heat gas valve solenoid
GV−HI is energized. After LPS closes, 24VAC
power is supplied for a field−installed humidifier at
the HUM 24VAC terminal and the furnace control
CPU begins a 15−second prepurge period. If the
high−heat pressure switch HPS fails to close and
the low−heat pressure switch LPS closes, the
furnace will operate at low−heat gas flow rate until
the high−heat pressure switch closes for a
maximum of 2 minutes after ignition. If HPS doesn’t
close after 2 minutes from LPS closing, GV is turned
off and heat off delay is completed. Then a new
cycle will begin if a call for heat remains.
b. Igniter Warm
the (Hot Surface Igniter) HSI is energized for a
17−second igniter warm−up period.
−Up−At the end of the prepurge period,
c. Trial−for−Ignition Sequence−When the igniter
warm−up period is completed the main gas valve relay
contacts GVR close to energize the gas valve solenoid
GV−M, the gas valve opens. The gas valve solenoid
GV−M permits gas flow to the burners where it is ignited
by the HSI. 5 sec after the GVR closes, a 2−sec flame
proving period begins. The HSI igniter will remain
energized until the flame is sensed or until the 2−sec
flame proving period begins. If the furnace control CPU
operates in high−heat operation, the high−heat gas
valve solenoid GV−HI is also energized.
d. Flame−Proving−When the burner flame is proved at
the flame−proving sensor electrode FSE, the inducer
motor IDM switches to low−speed unless running at
high−heat, and the furnace control CPU begins the
blower−ON delay period and continues to hold the gas
valve GV−M open. If the burner flame is not proved
within two seconds, the control CPU will close the gas
valve GV−M, and the control CPU will repeat the ignition
sequence for up to three more Trials−For−Ignition
before going to Ignition− Lockout. Lockout will be reset
automatically after three hours, or by momentarily
interrupting 115 vac power to the furnace, or by
interrupting 24 vac power at 24VAC or COM to the
furnace control CPU (not at W/W1, G, R, etc.). If flame
is proved when flame should not be present, the furnace
control CPU will lock out of Gas−Heating mode and
operate the inducer motor IDM on high speed until flame
is no longer proved.
e. Blower On Delay−If the burner flame is proven, the
blower on delay for low−heat and high−heat are as
follows:
Low−Heat−45 seconds after the gas valve GV−
energized the blower motor (BLWM) is energized at LO
HEAT speed.
High−Heat−25 seconds after the gas valve GV−M is
energized the BLWM is energized at HI HEAT speed.
Simultaneously, the electronic air cleaner (EAC)
terminal is energized and remains energized as long as
the BLWM is energized.
f. Switching from Low−to High−Heat−If the furnace
control CPU switches from low−heat to high−heat, the
furnace control CPU will switch the inducer motor IDM
speed from low to high. The high−heat pressure switch
relay HPSR is de−energized to close the NC contact.
When sufficient pressure is available the high−heat
pressure switch HPS closes, and the high−heat gas
valve solenoid GV−HI is energized. The blower motor
BLWM will switch to HI HEAT speed 5 seconds after the
furnace control CPU switches from low−heat to
high−heat.
g. Switching from High− to Low−Heat−The furnace
control CPU will not switch from high−heat to low−heat
while the thermostat R−to−W circuit is closed when
using a single stage thermostat.
h. Heat−Off Delay−When the thermostat is satisfied, the
R to W circuit is opened, de−energizing the gas valve
GV−M, stopping gas flow to the burners, and
de−energizing the humidifier terminal HUM 24VAC. The
inducer motor IDM will remain energized for a
15−second post−purge period then turn off, also turning
off HUM for 115V humidifier. The blower motor BLWM
and air cleaner terminal EAC will remain energized for
90, 120, 150, or 180 seconds (depending on selection
at heat−off delay switches). The furnace control CPU is
factory−set for a 120−second heat
−off delay.

15. Two−Stage Thermostat and Two−Stage Heating (See
Figure 17 − Figure 22 for thermostat connections)
NOTE: In this mode the TT switch (SW1−1) must be ON to
select the two−stage thermostat mode in response to closing
the thermostat R−to−W1 circuit. Closing the thermostat
R−to−W1−and−W2 circuits always causes high−heat operation,
regardless of the setting of the thermostat type.
The wall thermostat “calls for heat”, closing the R−to−W1 circuit
for low−heat or closing the R−to−W1 and−W2 circuits for
high−heat. The furnace control performs a self−check, verifies
the low−heat and high−heat pressure switch contacts LPS and
HPS are open, and starts the inducer motor IDM in
high−speed.
The start up and shut down functions and delays described in
item 1. above apply to the two−stage heating mode as well,
except for switching from low− to high−heat and vice versa.
a. Switching from Low− to High−Heat−If the thermostat
R−to− W1 circuit is closed and the R−to−W2 circuit
closes, the furnace control CPU will switch the inducer
motor IDM speed from low to high. The high−heat
pressure switch relay HPSR is de−energized to close
the NC contact. When sufficient pressure is available the
high
−heat pressure switch HPS closes, and the
high−heat gas valve solenoid GV−HI is energized. The
blower motor BLWM will switch to HI HEAT speed five
seconds after the R−to−W2 circuit closes.
b. Switching from High− to Low−Heat−If the thermostat
R−to−W2 circuit opens, and the R−to−W1 circuit
remains closed, the furnace control CPU will switch the
inducer motor IDM speed from high to low. The
high−heat pressure switch relay HPSR is energized to
open the NC contact and de−energize the high−heat
gas valve solenoid GV−HI. When the inducer motor IDM
reduces pressure sufficiently, the high−heat pressure
switch HPS will open. The gas valve solenoid GV−M will
remain energized as long as the low−heat pressure
switch LPS remains closed. The blower motor BLWM
will switch to LO HEAT speed 5 seconds after the
R−to−W2 circuit opens.
16. Cooling Mode−The thermostat “calls for cooling.”
a. Single−Speed Cooling−
(See Figure 17 − Figure 22 for thermostat connections)
The thermostat closes the R−to−G−and−Y circuits. The
R−to−Y circuit starts the outdoor unit, and the furnace
control R−to−G−and−Y/Y2 circuits start the furnace
blower motor BLWM on cool speed.
The electronic air cleaner terminal EAC is energized
with 115 vac when the blower motor BLWM is operating.
When the thermostat is satisfied, the R−to−G and−Y
circuits are opened. The outdoor unit will stop, and the
furnace blower motor BLWM will continue operating on
the COOL speed for an additional 90 seconds. Jumper
Y/Y2 to DHUM to reduce the cooling off−delay to 5
seconds. (See Figure 4)
b. Two−Speed Cooling
The thermostat closes the R−to−G−and−Y1 circuits for
low−cooling or closes the R−to−G−and−Y1−and−Y2 circuits for
high−cooling. The R−to−Y1 circuit starts the outdoor unit on
low−cooling speed, and the furnace control R−to−G−and−Y1
circuit starts the furnace blower motor BLWM on low−cool
speed (same speed as LO HEAT). The R−to−Y1−and−Y2
circuits start the outdoor unit on high−cooling speed, and the
furnace control R−to−G−and−Y1 and −Y2 circuits start the
furnace blower motor BLWM on COOL speed. The electronic
air cleaner terminal EAC is energized with 115 vac whenever
the blower motor BLWM is operating. When the thermostat is
satisfied, the R−to−G−and−Y1 or R−
to−G−and−Y1−and−Y2
circuits are opened. The outdoor unit stops, and the furnace
blower BLWM and electronic air cleaner terminal EAC will
remain energized for an additional 90 seconds. Jumper Y1 to
DHUM to reduce the cooling off−delay to 5 seconds. (See
Figure 4)
17. Dehumidify Mode
(See Figure 17−Figure 22 for humidity sensing
thermostat connections) The dehumidification output, H
on the humidity sensing thermostat should be connected
to the furnace control thermostat terminal DHUM. When
there is a dehumidify demand, the DHUM input is
activated, (24 vac signal is removed from the H input
terminal). In other words, the DHUM input logic is
reversed. The DHUM input is turned ON when no
dehumidify demand exists.
Activation/Deactivation
Once 24 vac is detected by the furnace control on the
DHUM input, the furnace control operates enables the
dehumidify mode. If the DHUM input is off for more than
48 hours, the furnace control disables the dehumidify
mode.
The cooling operation described in item 3. above also
applies to operation with a humidity sensing thermostat.
The exceptions are listed below:
a. Low cooling − When the R−to−G−and−Y1 circuit is
closed and there is a demand for dehumidification,the
furnace blower motor BLWM will continue running at
low−cool speed (same speed as LO HEAT).
b. High cooling −When the R−to−G−and−Y/Y2 circuit is
closed and there is a demand for dehumidification,the
furnace blower motor BLWM will drop the blower speed
from COOL to HI HEAT for a maximum of 10 minutes
before reverting back to COOL speed. If there is still a
demand for dehumidification after 20 minutes, the
furnace control CPU will drop the blower speed back to
HI HEAT speed. This alternating 10−minute cycle will
continue as long as there is a call for cooling.
c. Cooling off−delay − When the “call for cooling” is
satisfied and there is a demand for dehumidification, the
cooling blower−off delay is decreased from 90 seconds
to 5 seconds.
18. Continuous Blower Mode
When the R−to−G circuit is closed by the thermostat, the
blower motor BLWM will operate on continuous−blower
speed LO HEAT speed. Terminal EAC is energized as
long as the blower motor BLWM is energized. During a
call for heat, the blower BLWM will stop during igniter
warm−up (17 seconds), ignition (7 seconds), and
blower−ON delay (45 seconds in low−heat, and 25
seconds in high−heat), allowing the furnace heat
exchangers to heat up more quickly, then restarts at the
end of the blower−ON delay period at LO HEAT or HI
HEAT speed respectively. The blower motor BLWM will
revert to continuous−blower speed after the heating
cycle is completed. In high−heat, the furnace control
CPU will hold the blower motor BLWM at HI HEAT speed
during the selected blower−OFF delay period before
reverting to continuous−blower speed.
When the thermostat “calls for low−cooling”, the blower
motor BLWM will operate at low−cool speed (same
speed as LO HEAT).
When the thermostat “calls for high−cooling”, the blower
motor BLWM will operate at COOL speed. When the
thermostat is satisfied, the blower motor BLWM will
operate an additional 90 seconds on COOL speed
before reverting back to continuous−blower speed.
When the R−to−G circuit is opened, the blower motor
BLWM will continue operating for an additional 5
seconds, if no other function requires blower motor
BLWM operation.
19. Heat Pump
(See Figure 17−Figure 22 for thermostat connections)
When installed with a heat pump, the furnace control
automatically changes the timing sequence to avoid long
blower off times during demand defrost cycles. When the
R−to−W/W1−and−Y1 or R−to−W/W1−and−Y1−and−G
circuits are energized the furnace control CPU will switch
to or turn on the blower motor BLWM at low−cool speed

(same speed as LO HEAT), and begin a low−heat cycle.
The blower motor BLWM will remain on until the end of
the prepurge period, then shut off for 24 seconds then
come back on at LO HEAT speed. When the W/W1 input
signal disappears, the furnace control begins a normal
inducer post−purge period and the blower remains
running at LO HEAT speed. If the R−to−
W/W1−and−Y1−and−G signals disappear at the same
time, the blower motor BLWM will remain on for the
selected heat−off delay period. If the
R−to−W/W1−and−Y1 signals disappear, leaving the G
signal, the blower motor BLWM will remain on for the
selected heat−off delay period then switch to
continuous−blower speed.
When the R−to−W/W1−and−Y/Y2, R−to−W/W1−and−
Y/Y2− and−G, R−to−W/W1−and−Y1−and−Y/Y2, or
R−to−W/W1−and− Y1−and−Y/Y2−and−G circuits are
energized the furnace control CPU will switch to or turn
on the blower motor BLWM at COOL speed, and begin a
high−heat cycle. The blower motor BLWM will remain on
until the end of the prepurge period, then shut off for 24
seconds then come back on at HI HEAT speed. When
the W/W1 input signal disappears, the furnace control
begins a normal inducer post−purge period and the
blower switches to COOL speed after a 3 second delay.
If the R−to−W/W1
−and−Y/Y2−and−G or
R−to−W/W1−and−Y1−and− Y/Y2−and−G signals
disappear at the same time, the blower motor BLWM will
remain on for the selected heat−off delay period. If the
R−to−W/W1−and−Y/Y2 or R−to−W/W1−
and−Y1−and−Y/Y2 signals disappear, leaving the G
signal, the blower motor BLWM will remain on for the
selected heat−off delay period then switch to
continuous−blower speed.
