START−UP, ADJUSTMENT, AND SAFETY CHECK

General

1. Furnace must have a 115-v power supply properly connected and grounded.

NOTE: Proper polarity must be maintained for 115-v wiring. Control status indicator light flashes code 10 and furnace does not operate if polarity is incorrect or if the furnace is not grounded.

2. Thermostat wire connections at terminals R, W/W1, G, Y/Y2, etc. must be made at 24-v terminal block on furnace control. See communicating wall control instructions for proper wiring of communicating controls.

3. Natural gas service pressure must not exceed 0.5 psig (14- in. w.c., 350 Pa), but must be no less than 0.16 psig (4.5-in. w.c., 1125 Pa).

4. Blower door must be in place to complete 115-v electrical circuit and supply power to furnace.

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 blower is energized in heating.

Select Setup Switch Positions

There are four sets of setup switches on the furnace control board. These switches configure the furnace for correct application requirement. They also select the airflow settings for Air Conditioning and Continuous Fan airflows.

The Setup Switch locations are shown and described on Figure 3, Figure 4, Table 3 and Table 6. The set up switches are also shown on the unit wiring label.

Setup Switches (SW1)

The furnace control has eight setup switches that may be set to meet the application requirements. Refer to Figure 4 and Adjustments section for set up switch configurations.

To set these setup switches for the appropriate requirement:

1. Remove blower door.

2. Locate setup switches on furnace control.

3. Configure the set-up switches as necessary for the application.

4. Replace blower door.

NOTE: If a bypass humidifier is used, setup switch SW1-3 (Min/Int Rise Adjust) should be in ON position. This compensates for the increased temperature in return air resulting from bypass.

NOTE: If modulating dampers are used, blower motor automatically compensates for modulating dampers.

Air Conditioning (A/C) Setup Switches (SW2)

The air conditioning setup switches are used to match furnace airflow to required cooling airflow or high stage cooling airflow

To set the desired cooling airflow:

1. Remove blower door.

2. Locate A/C setup switches on furnace control.

3. Determine air conditioning tonnage used.

4. Configure the switches for the required cooling airflow. NOTE: Incorrect airflow caused by improper A/C switch setup may cause condensate blow−off or a frozen indoor coil in the cooling mode.

5. Replace blower door.

Continuous Fan (CF) Setup Switches (SW3)

The CF setup switches are used to select desired airflow when thermostat is in continuous fan mode or to select low-cooling airflow for two-speed cooling units. Refer to Figure 4 and the Adjustments section for set up switch configurations.

1. Remove blower door.

2. Locate CF setup switches on furnace control.

3. Determine desired continuous fan airflow or low-cooling

airflow.

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.

CAUTION

UNIT OPERATION HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit operation or performance satisfaction.

Condensate trap must be PRIMED or proper draining may not occur. The condensate trap has two internal chambers which can ONLY be primed by pouring water into the inducer drain side of condensate trap.

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.

SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT MANUAL Gas Furnace: (F/G)9MAE

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.

4. Remove funnel; replace collector box drain plug.

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.

ORIFICE

A93059

For proper operation and long term reliability, the Furnace input rate must be within +/− 2 percent of input rate on furnace rating plate, or as adjusted for altitude.

The gas input rate on rating plate is for installations at altitudes up to 2000 ft. (610 M).

NOTICE

Representative drawing only, some models may vary in appearance.

Purge Gas Lines

If not previously done, purge the lines after all connections have been made and check for leaks.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death, and/or property damage.

Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially available soap solution made specifically for the detection of leaks to check all connections. A fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

WARNING

Adjustments

CAUTION

FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution could result in reduced furnace life.

DO NOT push or force gas valve adjusting screw. This can result in damage to the adjustment screw resulting in incorrect manifold pressure, which can result in a no heat situation or shorten the life of the heat exchangers.

The NATURAL GAS manifold pressure adjustments in Table 4 and Table 5 compensate for BOTH altitude AND gas heating value. DO NOT apply an additional de−rate factor to the pressures shown in Table 4 or Table 5. The values in these Tables are NOT referenced to sea level; they are AS−MEASURED AT ALTITUDE. The heating content of natural gas at altitude may already provide for a reduction in capacity or the furnace. Be sure to obtain the expected in−season gas heating value of the gas from the gas supplier BEFORE making any adjustments for capacity or altitude. Refer to Table 4 or Table 5. 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 4 and Table 5 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. (610 M) to 4500 ft. (1372 M) above sea level. The natural gas manifold pressures in Table 4 and

Table 5 adjust for BOTH altitude and natural gas heating value. NOTE: For Canadian altitudes of 200 to 4500 ft. (610 to 1372

M), use USA altitudes of 2001 to 3000 ft. (611 to 914 M) in Table 4 and Table 5.

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.

NOTE: There are two sets of manifold pressure tables. Use Table 4 for all models EXCEPT *9MAE0602120 Btuh model. Use Table 5 for only the *9MAE0602120 model.

440 04 4700 00 5

Specifications subject to change without notice.

SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT MANUAL Gas Furnace: (F/G)9MAE

To do this:

1. Obtain average heat value (at installed altitude) from local gas supplier.

2. Obtain average specific gravity from local gas supplier.

3. Find installation altitude range for your installation in the manifold pressure tables. See Table 4 for the 20,000 Btuh Max−Heat/8,000/Btuh Min−Heat per burner models or Table 5 for model *9MAE0602120 only (20,200 Btuh Max−Heat/8,000 Btuh Min−Heat per burner).

4. Find closest natural gas heat value and specific gravity in Table 4 or Table 5 depending on furnace gas input rate.

5. Follow heat value and specific gravity lines to point of intersection to find orifice size and maximum and minimum manifold pressure settings for proper operation.

6. Check and verify burner orifice size in furnace. Never assume orifice size. NEVER ASSUME ORIFICE SIZE. ALWAYS CHECK AND VERIFY.

NOTICE

If orifice hole appears damaged or it is suspected to have been redrilled, check orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of correct size. Never redrill an orifice. A burr−free and squarely aligned orifice hole is essential for proper flame characteristics.

7. Replace orifice with correct size, if required by Table 4 or Table 5 depending on furnace gas input rate. Use only factory−supplied orifices. See EXAMPLE 1.

EXAMPLE 1: (See Table 4)

0 - 2000 ft. (0 - 609.6M) altitude Heating value = 1050 Btu/cu ft. Specific gravity = 0.62

Therefore: Orifice No. 44 (Furnace is shipped with No. 44 orifices. In this example, all main burner orifices are the correct size and do not need to be changed to obtain proper input rate.) Manifold pressure: 3.4-in. w.c. (847 Pa) for Maximum heat, .55-in. w.c. (349 Pa) for Minimum heat

NOTE: To convert gas manifold Table pressures to Pascals, multiply the in.w.c. value by 249.1 Pa/in. w.c. (1 in. wc. = 249.1 Pa).

Check Inlet Gas Pressure

The inlet gas pressure must be checked with the furnace operating in maximum heat. This is necessary to make sure the inlet gas pressure does not fall below the minimum pressure of

4.5−in. w.c. for natural gas. The maximum inlet gas pressure is

13.6−in. w.c. If the inlet pressure is too low, you will not be able to adjust the manifold pressure to obtain the proper input rate. To check the inlet gas pressure:

1. Make sure the gas supply is turned off to the furnace and at the electric switch on the gas valve.

2. Remove the 1/8 inch NPT plug from the inlet pressure tap on the gas valve.

3. Connect a manometer to the inlet pressure tap on gas valve.

4. Turn on furnace power supply.

5. Turn gas supply manual shutoff valve to ON position.

6. Turn furnace gas valve switch to ON position.

7. Jumper the R to W/W1 and W2 thermostat connections at the furnace control board.

8. When main burners ignite, confirm inlet gas pressure is Between 4.5−in. w.c. and 13.6−in. w.c.

9. Remove jumper across thermostat connections to terminate call for heat. Wait until the blower off delay is completed.

10. Turn furnace gas valve electric switch to OFF position.

11. Turn gas supply manual shutoff valve to OFF position.

12. Turn off furnace power supply.

13. Remove manometer from the inlet pressure tap of the gas valve.

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death, and/or property damage.

CAUTION

FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in:

S Overheating the heat exchangers or condensing

flue gases in heat exchanger areas not designed for condensate

S Shortened furnace life S Component damage

Temperature rise must be within limits specified on furnace rating plate. Recommended operation is at midpoint of rise range or slightly above.

Furnace must operate within ranges of temperature rise specified on the furnace rating plate. When setup switch SW1-4 is ON, operation will be near the high end of the rise range for improved comfort.

Determine air temperature rise as follows:

1. Place thermometers in return and supply ducts as near furnace as possible. Be sure thermometers do not see heat exchanger so that radiant heat does not affect readings. This practice is particularly important with straight-run ducts.

2. When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract return-air temperature from supply-air temperature to determine air temperature rise.

a. Check gas input for Minimum, Intermediate, and

Maximum heat operation.

b. Check derate for altitude if applicable.

c. Check all return and supply ducts for excessive

restrictions causing static pressure greater than 0.5-in. w.c.

d. Ensure Min/Int Rise Adjust switch SW1−3 on furnace

control is in ON position when a bypass humidifier is used. (See Figure 3 for switch location.)

e. Check Troubleshooting Guide for Variable−Speed Step

Modulating Condensing Furnaces.

f. Verify correct model plug is installed.

To lock the furnace in Minimum Heat:

1. Turn SW1−2 ON at the furnace control. Set up switch SW4−2 must be OFF.

Adjust Cooling Airflow − High−Speed and Low−Speed Cooling

The ECM blower can be adjusted for a range of airflows for low−speed or high−speed cooling. See Table 3 − Airflow Switch Table, Table 6 − Air Delivery − CFM (with Filter) and Figure 4. Furnace Setup Switches and Descriptions. Depending on the model size, the cooling airflow can be adjusted from 1.5 tons to 6 tons of nominal cooling based on 350 CFM ton. NOTE: 6 ton airflow will truncate at 2200 CFM on applicable models. The high−speed or single−speed cooling airflow is adjusted by turning setup switches SW2−1, SW2−2 and SW2−3 either ON or OFF. Select the required airflow from Table 6. Table 6 is based on 350 CFM per ton. For other CFM per ton setup switch selections, see Table 3, Figure 4 and Figure 15. The Continuous Fan airflow selection via setup switches SW3 is also the airflow for low−speed cooling when the furnace is used with a two−speed cooling or heat pump unit. Adjust the Continuous Fan CFM setup switches SW3 to match the airflow required for low−speed cooling. Select the required airflow from

Table 6 and Figure 4. NOTE: The airflow selected via SW3 (low−speed cooling

airflow) cannot exceed the airflow selected via SW2 (high−speed cooling airflow). For other CFM per ton setup switch selections, see Table 3 and Figure 4. NOTE: The airflow settings for SW2 and SW3 selections are the same, EXCEPT for the default values. (See Table 6) For a complete explanation of cooling airflow, refer to the section titled “Sequence of Operation.”

Adjust Continuous Fan Airflow/Low Speed Cooling Airflow

NOTE: When the furnace is used with a two−speed cooling or

heat pump unit, the airflow selected for Continuous Fan via setup switch SW3 will also be the airflow used for low−speed cooling, and vice versa. NOTE: When the furnace is used with a two−speed cooling or heat pump unit, adjust the Continuous Fan CFM setup switches SW3 to match the airflow required for low−speed cooling. Select the required Continuous Fan airflow using setup switches SW3 as shown in Table 3, Figure 4 and Figure 15.

CAUTION

FURNACE OVERHEATING HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace life.

Recheck temperature rise. It must be within limits specified on the rating plate. Recommended operation is at the mid−point of rise range or slightly above.

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 limit control, it can be established that limit is functioning properly and will operate if there is a restricted return−air supply or motor failure. If limit control does not function during this test, cause must be determined and corrected.

a. Run furnace for at least five 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.

f. Turn off 115−v power to furnace.

g. Reconnect inducer motor wires, replace blower 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 switches SW1−1 and SW1−6 are OFF and other setup switches are set as desired. Verify that switches SW1−7 and SW1−8 for the blower OFF DELAY are set as desired per Table 2.

3. Verify that blower and control doors are properly installed.

4. Cycle test furnace with room thermostat.

5. Check operation of accessories per manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Review Home Owner’s Information with owner.

7. Attach literature packet to furnace.
