Electronic Ignition (See Figure 5)
On a call for heat the integrated control monitors the combustion air inducer prove switch. The integrated control will
not begin the heating cycle if the prove switch is closed (by−
passed). Once the prove switch is determined to be open,
the combustion air inducer is energized. When the differential in the prove switch is great enough, the prove switch
closes and a 15−second pre−purge begins. If the prove
switch is not proven within 2−1/2 minutes, the integrated
control goes into Watchguard−Pressure Switch mode for a
5−minute re−set period.
The ignition control system consists of an integrated control (figure 4) ignitor (figure 6) and flame sensor (figure 6).
The integrated control and ignitor work in combination to
ensure furnace ignition and ignitor durability. The integrated control, controls all major furnace operations. The
Page 7
After the 15−second pre−purge period, the ignitor warms up
for 20 seconds during which the gas valve opens at 19 seconds for a 4−second trial for ignition. The ignitor remains
energized for the first 3 seconds during the 4 second trial. If
ignition is not proved during the 4−second period, the integrated control will try four more times with an inter purge
and warm−up time between trials of 35 seconds. After a total of five trials for ignition (including the initial trial), the integrated control goes into Watchguard−Flame Failure mode.
After a 60−minute reset period, the integrated control will
begin the ignition sequence again.
The integrated control has an added feature of ignitor power regulation to maintain consistent lighting and longer ignitor life under all line voltage conditions.
Fan Control
The fan on time of 30 seconds is not adjustable. The fan off
delay (amount of time that the blower operates after the
heat demand has been satisfied) may be adjusted by
INTEGRATED CONTROL
(Automatic Hot Surface Ignition System)
changing the jumper position across the five pins on the
integrated control. The unit is shipped with a factory fan off
setting of 90 seconds. The fan off delay affects comfort and
is adjustable to satisfy individual applications. Adjust the
fan off delay to achieve a supply air temperature between
90° and 110°F at the moment that the blower is de−energized. Longer off delay settings provide lower return air
temperatures; shorter settings provide higher return air
temperatures. See figure 3.

B−Heating Components
Combustion air inducer (B6), primary limit control (S10),
SureLight ignitor, burners, flame rollout switch (S47), gas
valve (GV1), combustion air prove switch (S18), and clamshell heat exchangers are located in the heating compartment. The heating compartment can be accessed by removing the burner access panel.
1. Ignitor (Figure 6)
ML193UH units use a mini−nitride ignitor made from a proprietary ceramic material. Ignitor longevity is enhanced by
controlling the voltage to the ignitor. Due to this feature of
the integrated control, voltage cannot be measured. To
check ignitor, measure its resistance. A value of 50 to 450
ohms indicates a good ignitor.
2. Flame Sensor (Figure 6)
A flame sensor is located on the left side of the burner support. The sensor is mounted on the front burner box plate
and the tip protrudes into the flame envelope of the left−
most burner. The sensor can be removed for service without removing any part of the burners. During operation,
flame is sensed by current passed through the flame and
sensing electrode. The ignition control allows the gas valve
to remain open as long as flame signal is sensed.
NOTE − The ML193UH furnace contains electronic
components that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that
the furnace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
3. Flame Rollout Switches (Figure 6)
Flame rollout switches S47 are SPST N.C. high temperature
limits located on the top left and bottom right of the front buner
box plate. S47 is wired to the burner ignition control A92.
When either of the switches sense flame rollout (indicating a blockage in the combustion passages), the flame
rollout switch trips, and the ignition control immediately
closes the gas valve. Switch S47 in all ML193UH units is
factory preset to open at 210_F + 12_F (99_C + 6.7_C) on a
temperature rise. All flame rollout switches are manual reset.

4. Primary Limit Control (Figure 7)
Primary limit (S10) used on ML193UH units is located in the
heating vestibule panel. When excess heat is sensed in the
heat exchanger, the limit will open. Once the limit opens, the
furnace control energizes the supply air blower and de−energizes the gas valve. The limit automatically resets when
unit temperature returns to normal. The switch is factory
set and cannot be adjusted. For limit replacement remove
wires from limit terminals, remove mounting screws, rotate
limit switch 90 degrees and slowly remove from the vestibule panel. Install replacement limit with same care.
an orifice which is precisely matched to the burner input.
See table 4 for orifice size. The burner is supported by the
orifice and will easily slide off for service. A flame retention
ring in the end of each burner maintains correct flame length
and shape and keeps the flame from lifting off the burner head.

5. Heat Exchanger (Figure 7)
ML193UH units use an aluminized steel primary and
stainless steel secondary heat exchanger assembly.
Heat is transferred to the air stream from all surfaces of
the heat exchanger. The shape of the heat exchanger ensures maximum efficiency.
The combustion air inducer pulls fresh air through the burner box. This air is mixed with gas in the burners. The gas /
air mixture is then burned at the entrance of each clamshe ll. Combustion gases are then pulled through the primary
and secondary heat exchangers and exhausted out the exhaust vent pipe.

All units use inshot burners. Burners are factory set and do not
require adjustment. Burners can be removed as an assembly

7. Gas Valve (GV1)
The ML193UH uses an internally redundant valve to assure
safety shut-off. If the gas valve must be replaced, the same
type valve must be used.
24VAC terminals and gas control switch are located on
top of the valve. All terminals on the gas valve are connected to wires from the ignition control. 24V applied to the
terminals opens the valve.

8. Combustion Air Inducer (B6)
& Cold End Header Box
All ML193UH units use a combustion air inducer to move
air through the burners and heat exchanger during heating operation. The blower uses a shaded pole 120VAC
motor. The motor operates during all heating operation and
is controlled by integrated control A3. Blower operates continuously while there is a call for heat. The integrated control will not proceed with the ignition sequence until combustion air inducer operation is sensed by the proving switches.
The combustion air inducer is installed on the cold end
header box. The cold end header box is a single piece
made of hard plastic. The box has an internal channel
where the combustion air inducer creates negative pressure at unit start up. The channel contains an orifice used
to regulate flow created by the combustion air inducer.
The box has pressure taps for the combustion air inducer
pressure switch hoses. The pressure switch measures
the pressure across the combustion air inducer orifice or
difference in the channel and the box. If replacement is
necessary the gaskets used to seal the box to the
vestibule panel and the combustion air inducer to the
box, must also be replaced.

9. Combustion Air Pressure Switch
(Figure 10)
ML193UH series units are equipped with a differential
pressure switch located on the cold end header box. The
switch monitors across the combustion air inducer orifice to insure proper flow through the heat exchanger.
The switch is a SPST N.O. prove switch electrically connected to the integrated control. The purpose of the switch is
to prevent burner operation if the combustion air inducer is not
moving enough air for proper combustion.
Pressure Switch
FIGURE 10
On start-up, the switch monitors whether the combustion air
inducer is operating. It closes a circuit to the integrated
control when the difference in pressure across the combustion air inducer orifice exceeds a non−adjustable factory
setting. If the switch does not successfully sense the required differential, the switch cannot close and the furnace cannot operate. If the flue or air inlet become obstructed during operation, the switch senses a loss of
pressure differential and opens the circuit to the integrated
control. If the condensate line is blocked, water will back up
into the header box and reduce the pressure differential
across the switch. The prove switch opens if the differential
drops below the set point. See table 6.
Checks of pressure differential can aid in troubleshooting.
When measuring the pressure differential, readings should be
taken at the pressure switch. See figure 11. Lack of differential
usually indicates problems in the intake or exhaust piping, but
may indicate problems in the heat exchanger, condensing coil, header boxes, combustion inducer or other
components.

II−PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
If the ML193UH is installed as a Non−Direct Vent Furnace, follow the guidelines in this section.
NOTE − In Non−Direct Vent installations, combustion air
is taken from indoors and flue gases are discharged out−
doors.
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient
outdoor air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air
that was needed. In today’s homes, tight construction
practices make it necessary to bring in air from outside
for combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans, appliance vents, chimneys, and fireplaces force additional
air that could be used for combustion out of the house.
Unless outside air is brought into the house for combustion, negative pressure (outside pressure is greater than
inside pressure) will build to the point that a downdraft
can occur in the furnace vent pipe or chimney. As a result,
combustion gases enter the living space creating a potentially dangerous situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combus−
tion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in
this section to install ML193UH furnaces to ensure efficient and safe operation. You must consider combustion
air needs and requirements for exhaust vents and gas
piping. A portion of this information has been reprinted
with permission from the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI−
Z223.1/NFPA 54). This reprinted material is not the complete and official position of the ANSI on the referenced
subject, which is represented only by the standard in its
entirety.
In Canada, refer to the CSA B149 installation codes.
CAUTION
Do not install the furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventilation air requirements, as well as all local codes.
All gas-fired appliances require air for the combustion process. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the furnace or other appliance will operate inefficiently and unsafely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs of all
fuel−burning appliances and appliances such as exhaust
fans which force air out of the house. When fireplaces, exhaust fans, or clothes dryers are used at the same time as
the furnace, much more air is required to ensure proper
combustion and to prevent a downdraft. Insufficient air
causes incomplete combustion which can result in carbon
monoxide.
In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air dilutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contaminants
may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, solvents
and other contaminants which can corrode furnace components.
The requirements for providing air for combustion and ventilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed in
an unconfined or a confined space.
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
This space also includes adjacent rooms which are not
separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be unconfined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for
combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by
infiltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight
construction with weather stripping and caulking around
the windows and doors, follow the procedures in the Air
from Outside section.
Confined Space
A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cubic
feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the com−
bined input rating of all appliances installed in that space. This
definition includes furnace closets or small equipment rooms.
When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air must be handled by ducts
which are sealed to the furnace casing and which terminate
outside the space containing the furnace. This is especially
important when the furnace is mounted on a platform in a
confined space such as a closet or small equipment room.
Even a small leak around the base of the unit at the platform
or at the return air duct connection can cause a potentially
dangerous negative pressure condition. Air for combustion
and ventilation can be brought into the confined space either from inside the building or from outside.
Air from Inside
If the confined space that houses the furnace adjoins a
space categorized as unconfined, air can be brought in by
providing two permanent openings between the two
spaces. Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1
square inch (645 mm2) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of
total input rating of all gas−fired equipment in the confined
space. Each opening must be at least 100 square inches
(64516 mm2). One opening shall be within 12 inches (305
mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12
inches (305 mm) of the bottom. See figure 13.

Air from Outside
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventilation, the confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings. One opening shall be within 12" (305mm)
of the top of the enclosure and one within 12" (305mm) of
the bottom. These openings must communicate directly
or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that
freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly
through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu (645mm
per 1.17kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment
in the enclosure. When communicating with the outdoors
through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 2,000 Btu (645mm
per .59kW) per total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure (See figure 14).
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventilation, the confined space must have two permanent openings. One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of
the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches
(305 mm) of the bottom. These openings must communicate directly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl
or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a
minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 4,000
Btu (1.17 kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment
in the enclosure. See figures 14 and 15. When
communicating with the outdoors through horizontal
ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1
square inch (645 mm2) per 2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See figure 16.
When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross−sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they
connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts
shall be no less than 3 inches (75 mm). In calculating free
area, the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens
must be considered. If the design and free area of protective covering is not known for calculating the size opening
required, it may be assumed that wood louvers will have
20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles
will have 60 to 75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles
must be fixed in the open position or interlocked with the
equipment so that they are opened automatically during
equipment operation.

Pipe & Fittings Specifications
All pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement must conform
with American National Standard Institute and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards. The solvent shall be free flowing and contain no
lumps, undissolved particles or any foreign matter that adversely affects the joint strength or chemical resistance of
the cement. The cement shall show no gelation, stratification, or separation that cannot be removed by stirring. Refer to the table 7 below for approved piping and fitting materials.
IMPORTANT
ML193UH exhaust and intake connections are made
of PVC. Use PVC primer and solvent cement when
using PVC vent pipe. When using ABS vent pipe, use
transitional solvent cement to make connections to
the PVC fittings in the unit.
CAUTION
Solvent cements for plastic pipe are flammable liquids and should be kept away from all sources of
ignition. Do not use excessive amounts of solvent
cement when making joints. Good ventilation should
be maintained to reduce fire hazard and to minimize
breathing of solvent vapors. Avoid contact of cement
with skin and eyes.
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent cement
meeting ASTM specifications, refer to Table 7. As an alternate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS, PVC, or CPVC
pipe when using fittings and pipe made of the same materials. Use transition solvent cement when bonding ABS to either PVC or CPVC.
Low temperature solvent cement is recommended during
cooler weather. Metal or plastic strapping may be used for
vent pipe hangers. Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC
primer for PVC or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth
of fitting socket.
Canadian Applications Only − Pipe, fittings, primer
and solvent cement used to vent (exhaust) this appliance must be certified to ULC S636 and supplied by a
single manufacturer as part of an approved vent (exhaust) system. When bonding the vent system to the furnace, use ULC S636 approved One−Step Transition Cement to bond the pipe to the flue collar, or to bond the 90°
elbow or reducing 90° elbow to the flue collar. In addition, the first three feet of vent pipe from the furnace flue
collar must be accessible for inspection.
