Rooftop Installation
1 Before locating the unit on the roof, make sure that the
roof structure is adequate to support the weight involved.
(See Electrical & Physical Tables in this manual.) THIS
IS VERY IMPORTANT AND THE INSTALLER'S
RESPONSIBILITY.
2 For rigging and roofcurb details, see Figure 5 through
Figure 7.
3 The location of the unit on the roof should be such as to
provide proper access for inspection and servicing.
IMPORTANT: If unit will not be put into service
immediately, block off supply and return air openings to
prevent excessive condensation.
Ductwork
The installing contractor should fabricate ductwork in
accordance with local codes. Use industry manuals as a guide
when sizing and designing the duct system. Contact Air
Conditioning Contractors of America, 1513 16th St. N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20036.
DANGER
Never connect return ductwork to any other heat producing
device such as fireplace insert, stove, etc. Unauthorized use
of such devices may result in fire, carbon monoxide
poisoning, explosion, personal injury, property damage or
death.
Place the unit as close to the conditioned space as possible
allowing clearances as indicated. Run ducts as directly as
possible to supply and return outlets. Use of non-flammable
weatherproof flexible connectors on both supply and return
connections at unit to reduce noise transmission is
recommended.
6McQuay IM 971-1
Mechanical Installation
On ductwork exposed to outside temperature and humidity, use
a minimum of 2" of insulation and a vapor barrier. Distribution
system in attic, furred space or crawl space should be insulated
with at least 2" of insulation. 1/2" to 1" thick insulation is
usually sufficient for ductwork inside the air conditioned
space.
Provide balancing dampers for each branch duct in the supply
system. Properly support ductwork from the structure.
IMPORTANT: In the event that the return air ducts must be
run through an “unconfined” space containing other fuel
burning equipment, it is imperative that the user be informed
against future changes in construction which might change this
to a “confined space.” Also, caution the user against any future
installation of additional equipment (such as power
ventilators), within the existing unconfined and/or confined
space which might create a negative pressure within the
vicinity of other solid, liquid, or gas fueled units.
Return Air
DANGER
Never allow products of combustion or the flue products to
enter the return air ductwork, or the circulating air supply. All
return ductwork must be adequately sealed and secured to
the furnace with sheet metal screws and joints must be taped.
All other duct joints must be secured with approved
connections and sealed airtight.
Failure to prevent products of combustion from being
circulated into the living space can create potentially
hazardous conditions, including carbon monoxide poisoning
that could result in personal injury or death.

Gas Connection
IMPORTANT: Connect this unit only to gas supplied by a
commercial utility.
1 Install gas piping in accordance with local codes and
regulations of the local utility company. In the absence
of local codes, the installation must conform to the
specifications of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 - latest edition.
Note: The use of flexible gas connectors is not permitted.
Connect the gas line to the gas valve supplied with unit.
2
Routing can be through the gas pipe opening shown in
Figure 26, page 34 or through the base as shown in
Figure 1 1, page 12.
3 Size the gas line to the furnace adequate enough to
prevent undue pressure drop and never less than 1/2".
4 Install a drip leg or sediment trap in the gas supply line
as close to the unit as possible.
5 Install an outside ground joint union to connect the gas
supply to the control assembly at the burner tray.
6 Gas valves have been factory installed. Install a manual
gas valve where local codes specify a shut-off valve
outside the unit casing (Figure 8).
7 Make sure piping is tight. A pipe compound resistant
to the action of liquefied petroleum gases must be
used at all threaded pipe connections.
Figure 8: Suggested Gas Piping
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the furnace and its individual
shutoff valve from the gas supply piping during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 pound
per square inch gauge or isolate the system from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of this gas supply system at
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.
DANGER
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. It can cause an
explosion or fire resulting in property damage, personal injury
or death. Use a commercially available soap solution made
specifically for the detection of leaks to check all connections
as specified in the “Mechanical Installation” section of these
instructions.
IMPORTANT: Check the rating plate to make certain the unit
is equipped to burn the type of gas supplied. Care should be
taken after installation of th is equipment that the gas control
valve not be subjected to high gas supply line pressure.In
making gas connections, avoid strains as they may cause noise
and damage the controls. A backup wrench is required to be
required for the furnace to satisfactorily meet the
application should be made by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier, using factoryspecified or approved parts. In the commonwealth of
Massachusetts, installation must be performed by a
licensed plumber or gas fitter for appropriate fuel.
The capacities of gas pipe of different diameters and lengths in
cu.ft. per hr. with pressure drop of 0.3 in. and specific gravity
of 0.60 (natural gas) are shown in Table 1.
After determining the pipe length, select the pipe size which
will provide the minimum cubic feet per hour required for the
gas input rating of the furnace. By formula:
Cu. Ft. per Hr. Required =
Gas Input of Furnace (BTU/Hr)
Heating Value of Gas (BTU/Ft3)
The gas input of the furnace is marked on the furnace rating

Controls and Operation
Controls and Operation
Furnace Section Controls and
Ignition System
Normal Furnace Operating Sequence
This unit is equipped with a two stage integrated direct spark
ignition control.
Normal Heat Mode
Call For First Stage (Low Fire) Only:
1 Zone thermostat contacts close, a call for first stage (low
fire) heat is initiated.
2 Control runs self check.
3 Control checks the high-limit switch for normally closed
contacts, each pressure switch for normally open
contacts, and all flame rollout switches for continuity.
4 Control energizes each low-fire inducer.
5 Control checks each low-fire pressure switch for closure.
6 If each low-fire pressure switch is closed, the control
starts a 30 second prepurge. If either low-fire pressure
switch is still open after 180 seconds, the high-fire
inducers will be energized until closure.
7 After prepurge time-out, control initiates spark for two
seconds minimum (seven second maximum) ignition
trial, and initiates a 120 second - second stage (high fire)
warm up timing.
8 Control detects flame, de-energizes spark and initiates 45
second delay on blower timing.
9 After a fixed 45 seconds indoor blower delay on, the
control energizes the indoor blower .
10 After a fixed 120 seconds second stage warm-up period,
control checks thermostat input. If only W1 is called for,
W2 is de-energized and the control starts a 30 second off
delay on the W2 inducer.
11 After fixed 30 seconds the W2 inducer is de-energized.
12 Control enters normal operating loop where all inputs are
continuously checked.
13 Zone thermostat is satisfied.
14 Control de-energizes gas valve.
15 Control senses loss of flame.
16 Control initiates five second inducer postpurge and 90
second indoor blower delay off.
17 Control de-energizes inducer blower.
18 Control de-energizes indoor blower.
19 Control in the stand by mode with solid red LED.
Call For Second Stage, After First Stage Established;
Starting from A.11:
1
If a call for second stage (high fire) is initiated after a call
for first stage heat is established, the control energizes
the W2 inducer and energizes the second stage of the gas
valve.
2 Control enters normal operating loop where all inputs are
continuously checked.
Second Stage Satisfied; First Stage Still Called For; Starting
From B.3:
Once the call for second stage is satisfied, the control
1
starts a 30 second off delay on W2 inducer and reduces
the gas valve to first stage.
2 Control enters normal operating loop where all inputs are
continuously checked.
First Stage Satisfied:
1 Zone thermostat is satisfied.
2 Control de-energizes gas valve.
3 Control senses loss of flame.
4 Control initiates five second inducer postpurge and 90
second indoor blower delay off.
5 Control de-energizes inducer blower.
6 Control de-energizes indoor blower.
7 Control in the stand by mode with solid red LED.
First Stage and Second Stage Called Simultaneously:
1 Zone thermostat contacts close, a call for first stage (low
fire) and second stage (high fire) heat is initiated.
2 Control runs self check.
3 Control checks the high-limit switch for normally closed
contacts, each pressure switch for normally open
contacts, and all flame rollout switches for continuity.
4 Control energizes each low-fire inducer.
5 Control checks each pressure switch for closure.
6 If each low-fire pressure switch is closed, the control
starts a 30 second prepurge. If either switch is still open
after 180 seconds, the high-fire inducers will be
energized until closure.
7 After prepurge time-out, control initiates spark for two
seconds minimum (seven seconds maximum) ignition
trial, and initiates a 120 second stage warm up timing.
8 Control detects flame, de-energizes spark and starts a 45
second indoor blower delay on timing.
9 After a fixed 45 seconds indoor blower delay on, the
control energizes the indoor blower.
10 After a fixed 120 seconds second stage warm-up period,
control checks the thermostat input. If W1 and W2 is
present control enters normal operating loop where all
inputs are continuously checked.
First Stage and Second Stage Removed Simultaneously:
1 Upon a loss of W1 and W2 the gas valve is de-energized.

Controls and Operation
2 Upon a loss of flame, each inducer will complete a five
second postpurge and the indoor blower will complete a
90 second delay off.
3 Control in the stand by mode with solid red LED.
The integrated control is a four-ignition system.
After a total of four cycles without sensing main burner flame,
the system goes into a 100% lockout mode. After one hour, the
ignition control repeats the prepurge and ignition cycles for 4
tries and then go into 100% lockout mode again. It continues
this sequence of cycles and lockout each hour until ignition is
successful or power is interrupted. During the lockout mode,
neither the ignitor or gas valve will be energized until the
system is reset by turning the thermostat to the “OFF” position
or interrupting the electrical power to the unit for 3 seconds or
longer. The induced draft blower and main burner will shut off
when the thermostat is satisfied.
The circulating air blower will start and run on the heating
speed if the thermostat fan switch is in the “ON” position. The
integrated furnace control is equipped with diagnostic LED.
The LED is lit continuously when there is power to the control,
with or without a call for heat. If the LED is not lit, there is
either no power to the control or there is an internal component
failure within the control, and the control should be replaced.
If the control detects the following failures, the LED will flash
on for approximately 1/4 second, then off for 3/4 second for
designated failure detections.
1 Flash: Failed to detect flame within the four tries for
ignition.
2 Flash: Pressure switch or induced draft blower problem
detected.
3 Flash: High limit or auxiliary limit open.
4 Flash: Flame sensed and gas valve not energized or
flame sensed with no “W” signal.
5 Flash: Over-temperature switch open.

Controls and Operation
Burners
Burners for these units have been designed so that field
adjustment is not required. Burners are tray-mounted and
accessible for easy cleaning when required.
Manual Reset Over-Temperature Control
Two manual reset over-temperature controls are located on the
burner shield. These devices sense blockage in the heat
exchanger or insufficient combustion air. This shuts off the
main burners if excessive temperatures occur in the burner
compartment.
Operation of this control indicates an abnormal condition.
Therefore, the unit should be examined by a qualified installer,
service agency, or the gas supplier before being placed back
into operation.
DANGER
DO NOT JUMPER THIS DEVICE! DO NOT reset the overtemperature control without taking corrective action to assure
that an adequate supply of combustion air is maintained
under all conditions of operation. Failure to do so can result
in carbon monoxide poisoning or death. Replace this control
only with the identical replacement part.
Pressure Switch
This furnace has two pressure switches for sensing a blocked
exhaust or a failed induced draft blower . They are normally
open and close when the induced draft blower starts, indicating
air flow through the combustion chamber.
Limit Control
The supply air high temperature limit cut-off is set at the
factory and cannot be adjusted. It is calibrated to prevent the
air temperature leaving the furnace from exceeding the
maximum outlet air temperature.
DANGER
Do not jumper this device! Doing so can cause a fire or
explosion resulting in property damage, personal injury or
death.
IMPORTANT: Replace this control only with the identical
replacement part.

10 Direct a water hose into the outlet of the heat exchanger
top. Flush the inside of each heat exchanger tube with
water. Blow out each tube with air to remove excessive
moisture.
11 Reassemble (steps 1 through 9 in reverse ord er). Be
careful not to strip out the screw holes used to mount
the collector box and inducer blower . Replace inducer
blower gasket and collector box gasket with factory
replacements if damaged.
If during inspection the flue passageways and exhaust system
are determined to require cleaning, the following procedures
should be followed (by a qualified installer, service agency, or
gas supplier):
1 Turn off the electrical power to the unit and set the
thermostat to the lowest temperature.
2 Shut off the gas supply to the unit either at the meter or at
manual valve in the supply piping.
DANGER

wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation
resulting in fire, electrical shock, property damage, personal
injury or death.
3 Remove the furnace controls access panel and the control
box cover.
4 Disconnect the gas supply piping from the gas valve.
5 Disconnect the wiring to the induced draft blower motor,
gas valve, flame sensor, and flame roll-out control, and
DANGER
Holes in the exhaust transition or heat exchanger can cause
toxic fumes to enter the home. The exhaust transition or heat
exchanger must be replaced if they have holes or cracks in
them. Failure to do so can cause carbon monoxide poisoning
resulting in personal injury or death.
The manufacturer recommends that a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier visually inspect the burner
flames for the desired flame appearance at the beginning of the
heating season and approximately midway in heating season.
The manufacturer also recommends that a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier clean the flame sensor with
steel wool at the beginning of the heating season.
DANGER
Power supply to unit must be disconnected before making
field connections. To avoid electrical shock, personal injury or
death, be sure to rigorously adhere to field wiring procedures
regarding proper lockout and tagout of components.
McQuay IM 971-151
Maintenance
Lubrication
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to lubricate the bearings on
the blower motor or the induced draft blower motor. Addition
of lubricants can reduce the motor life and void the warranty.
The blower motor and induced draft blower motor are prelubricated by the manufacturer and do not require further
attention.
A qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier must
periodically clean the motors to prevent the possibility of
overheating due to an accumulation of dust and dirt on the
windings or on the motor exterior. And, as suggested
elsewhere in these instructions, the air filters should be kept
clean because dirty filters can restrict air flow and the motor
depends upon sufficient air flowing across and through it to
prevent overheating.
Cooling Section Maintenance
DANGER
Power supply to unit must be disconnected before making
field connections. To avoid electrical shock, personal injury or
death, be sure to rigorously adhere to field wiring procedures
regarding proper lockout and tagout of components.
It is recommended that at the beginning of each cooling season
