opposite of the condensate trap. (See Figure 1)
2. Connect field-supplied 1/2-in. (13 mm) OD tube to upper
collector box drain connection.
3. Insert field-supplied funnel into tube.
4. Pour one quart of water into funnel/tube. Water should
run through collector box, overfill condensate trap, and
flow into open field drain.
6. Connect field-supplied 1/2-in. (13 mm) OD tube to middle
collector box drain port.
7. Pour one quart of water into funnel/tube. Water should
run through collector box, overfill condensate trap, and

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 low pressure switch is closed
during a call for heat.
There are two humidifier outputs on the furnace control. The
115 VAC HUM terminal is energized when the Induced Draft
Relay closes. The 24 VAC HUM terminal is energized when
the low pressure closes during a call for heat. Connect an
accessory 115 VAC accessory humidifier to the 115 VAC HUM
terminal and L2 on the furnace control. Connect a 24 VAC
humidifier to the 24 VAC HUM terminal and C screw terminal
strip on the control board thermostat strip.
Thermostat Setup Switch
This furnace can be installed with either a singlestage heating
or a twostage heating thermostat. Setup switch (TT) is used to
configure the furnace for single or two stage thermostat
operation. (See Figure 4)
For singlestage thermostats, connect thermostat W to W/W1
at furnace control terminal block. (See Figure 7) For
singlestage thermostats, the control will operate for 12
minutes on low heat, then switch to high heat if heat call
remains. Setup switch (TT) must be in the factoryshipped OFF
position. See Figure 7 and Figure 15 for setup switch
information.
If a twostage heating thermostat is to be used, move setup
switch (TT) to ON position before starting furnace. This
overrides builtin control process for selecting high and low fire
and allows the twostage thermostat to select gas heating
modes. The W2 from thermostat must be connected to W2 on
control terminal block.

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,
outofround 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
plate.
The gas input rate on rating plate is for installation at altitudes
up to 2000 ft. (610 M).
In the U.S.A., 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.
In Canada, the input rating must be derated by 5 percent for
altitudes of 2000 ft. (610 M) to 4500 ft. (1372 M) above sea
level.
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:
a. Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed
altitude) from local gas supplier.
b. Obtain average yearly gas specific gravity from local
gas supplier.
c. Find installation altitude in Table 2.
