General
This forced draft gas burner is specifically designed for use
with the furnace on McQuay applied rooftop heating and air
conditioning units which are for outdoor installation only.
Each model size has unique burner head components to tailor the shape of the flame to each particular stainless steel
combustion chamber, to match the capacity requirement, and
to offer a desirable turndown potential when arranged for
modulation. This is a forced draft burner with a high pressure combustion air fan and will operate against pressure.
This eliminates the need for draft inducers, chimneys, draft
hoods, barometric dampers, and Breidert caps.
Warranty Exclusion
Do not operate the furnace if chlorinated vapors are present,
the airflow through the furnace is not in accordance with rating plate, or if wiring or controls were mo dified or tampered
with. Damage caused or contributed to by such conditions is
not covered by the warranty.
WARNING
Do not operate gas heating units in an atmosphere contaminated with corrosive chemicals such as halogenated hydrocarbons, chlorine, cleaning solvents,
refrigerants, swimming pool exhaust, etc. Exposure to
these compounds can cause severe damage to the gas
furnace and personal injury or death.
Ventilation & Flue Pipe Requirements
The McQuay applied rooftop unit is equipped with an outdoor air louver to supply adequate combustion air. The unit
also has a flue outlet assembly and requires no additional
chimney , flue pipe, Breidert cap, draft inducer, etc.
Factory Mounting
This burner and gas train has been installed and wired at the
factory. See "Gas Piping." Also note that models 150
through 200 have the burner removed for shipment; see
“Vestibule (Models 150 thru 200)” on page 7.
Factory Checkout
This complete heating plant was fired and tested at the factory. It was adjusted to the required capacity and efficiency.
Modulating air and gas linkages, pressure regulators, and
stops were adjusted for proper operation at all firing levels.
The unit was fired through several complete sequences of
start-up through shutoff to check operation. A check was
made of the air switch, gas pressure switch, high limit opera-
tion, and combustion characteristics including CO2 and CO
(at several firing rates on modulating burners).
If the burner was specified for operation at higher altitudes,
combustion air adjustments were compensated to result in
proper settings at the higher altitude. This checkout normally eliminates on-the-job start-up problems; however, the
equipment is subject to variable job c onditi ons an d shippi ng
shocks can change adjustments, cause damage, and loosen
connections and fasteners. Therefore, it is necessary to go
through the complete start-up procedure even though the
unit may appear to be operating properly.
Installation
General
The installation of this equipment must be in accordance
with the regulations of authorities having jurisdiction and all
applicable codes. It is the responsibility of the installer to
determine and follow the applicable codes. Sheet metal
parts, self-tapping screws, clips, and such items inherently
have sharp edges, and it is necessary that the installer exercise caution. This equipment must be installed by an ex perienced professional installation company that employs fully
trained technicians.
Flue Box
The flue box is not installed at the factory because it would
increase the width of the unit beyond the allowable shipping
width. All holes are prepunched, the fasteners are furnished
and everything is shipped inside a box in the burner section
of the unit. On Models 150 through 200, it is shipped in the
same crate as the vestibule. Remove and discard the shipping cover installed over the furnace tube outlets before
installing the flue box. See “Figure 1. Flue Box” on page 4.
1. Remove the screws (2) in the casing of the unit that line
up with the bottom lip holes of the flue box tube sheet
(3). These screws will later be replaced, at which time
they will also attach the bottom of the flue box to the
unit.
2. .Install flue box wrapper sheet (4) by sliding it up from
below. Attach with side screws (5). At this time reinstall
bottom screws (2)

main unit control panel. No additional power wiring must be
routed to the burner. The sequencing of the burner is also
controlled through this panel and therefore is factory wired.
No additional wiring will be required. Note that models 150
through 200 furnaces require reassembly of some electrical
connections as the burner is removed for shipment.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause property damage, severe personal injury or death. Read the installation, operating
and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.
If you smell gas:
1. Open Windows and ventilate area thoroughly.
2. Don’t touch electrical switches.
3. Eliminate open flames, pilot lights, arcing or sparking
equipment, or other sources of ignition.
4. Evacuate the area.

Wind Deflector
The wind deflector is not installed at the factory because it
would increase the width of the unit beyond the allowable
shipping width. The deflector is shipped in the burner vestibule of the unit. Install the wind deflector over the combu stion air intake opening of the burner compartment before
operating the burner. Use inner hinge screws on top hinged
door (see Figure 2). Side hinged doors have holes for mounting (see Figure 5). Models 020 and 025 have a different style
wind deflector. It mounts on the door and has a top opening
flush with the roof of the unit (see Figure 14).

5. Immediately call your gas supplier from a different
area.
Do not use and store gasoline or other flammable
vapors or liquids in open containers near this appliance
or in areas sharing ventilation with it.
Gas Pressure Requirements
The pressure furnished to the combination gas control(s)
must not exceed 13.9 in. W.C. When the supply pressure is
above 13.9 in. W.C., a high pressure regulator must precede
the combination gas control(s). The inlet gas pressure must
not exceed the maximum pressure rating of the high pressure
regulator, and the outlet pressure must furnish gas to the
appliance pressure regulator within the pressure range mentioned above, preferably at 7.0 in. W.C. when firing at maximum rate.
Gas Piping
The connection size at the burner is shown in Table 5 under
columns 13 thru 15. Gas piping m ust be siz ed to pro vide the
minimum required pressure at the burner when the burner is
operating at maximum input. Consult the appropriate local
utility on any questions on gas pressure available, allowable
piping pressure drops, and local piping requirements.
Install all piping in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code (ANSI Z223.1), (NFPA 54-1999) and any applicable
local codes.
The proper size piping must be run from the meter to the gas
Wind Defle cto r
burner without reductions. Undersized piping will result in
inadequate pressure at the burner. The pressure will be at its

lowest when it is needed the most, at times of maximum
demand. Therefore, it can cause intermittent hard-to-find
problems because the problem may have left before the service technician has arrived. Avoid the use of bushings wherever possible.
Remove all burrs and obstructions from pipe. Do not bend
pipe; use elbows or other pipe fittings to properly locate
pipe. A drip leg must be installed in the vertical line before
each burner such that it will not freeze. Install unions so gas
train components can be removed for service. All pipe
threads must have a pipe dope which is resistant to the
action of LP gas. After installation, pressurize th e piping as
required and test all joints for tightness with a rich soap
solution. Any bubbling is considered a leak and must be
eliminated. Do not use a match or flame to locate leaks.

Valve & Regulator Venting
Valve diaphragm vents, pressure regulator vents, and pressure switch vents are located in the outdoor burner vestibule
and therefore vent tubing is not run to the outside of this vestibule. If local regulations require that this be done, it is a
part of the field gas piping hookup. Remove any plastic protector plugs from regulator and valve vents.
Normally Open Vent Valve
Vent valves such as required by IRI for over 1000 MBH
input units must always be routed to the outdoors. This is
field piping.

Gas Piping (Models 150 - 200)
The gas piping cannot be routed up to the bu rner from
within the curb on Models 150 through 200 . Gas piping
must be routed across the roof to under the burner vestibule, or a pitch pocket can be provided there. The installer
must cut a hole in the bottom panel of the overhanging
burner vestibule through which to route the gas line up to
the burner gas train. The bottom panel of the vestibule is
at approximately the same elevation as the top of the curb.
Gas Piping within the Vestibule
The gas piping layout within the vestibule will vary
according to the complexity and size of the gas train relative to the available room within the vestibule. As an
example, a gas train with a high pressure regulator and an
extra safety shutoff valve (when required for IRI, etc.) will
require careful use of the available space. The examples
shown in Figure 4 indicate typical piping layouts.
Field Gas Piping Required
The gas train components have all been factory installed
and require only a connection to the supply gas line. The
manual shutoff valve is located within the burner vestibule. If local codes require a manual shutoff valve that is
is accessible from outside the unit, that valve must be relocated
or an additional valve added. In locating such a valve, it is to
be readily accessible and located such that no obstructions
interfere with operation of the handle. See Figure 16a, "Valv e
and Regulator Venting", and "Normally Open Vent Valves".
Condensate Drain
All units are equipped with a 3/4" I.P. condensate drain pipe
projecting from the back side of the furnace section (See See
“Figure 13. Models 032 thru 200 Heat Exchanger” on page 17.
and See “Figure 14. Models 020 thru 025 Heat Exchanger” on
page 18.) If applicable codes or regulations require, this can be
trapped and/or routed to a drain. A trap is not recommended
and heat tape or some other method of freeze prortection is
required.
Vestibule (Models 150 thru 200)
These two furnace sizes exceed the allowable shipping width.
For this reason the burner is disconnected and removed for
shipment. A sheet metal vestibule weather enclosure is also
disassembled for shipment. At installation, the burner must be
re-mounted, the tagged electrical connections re-attached, and
the vestibule re-assembled and mounted as shown in Figure 5.
These items are packed in a crate and shipped as a separate
item.

Start-up & Operating Procedures
Start-up Responsibility
The start-up organization is responsible for determining that
the furnace, as installed and as applied, will ope rate withi n
the limits specified on the furnace rating plate.
1. .The furnace must not exceed the specified "Maximum
MBH Input." See "Verify Input Rate" on Page 17.
2. .The furnace must not operate at an airflow below the
specified "Minimum Airflow CFM." On variable air volume systems it must be determined that the furnace will
not be operated if or when system cfm is reduced below
the specified minimum airflow cfm.
3. .It must be established that the gas supply is within the
proper pressure range. See "Gas Pressure Requirements"
on Page 4.
Start-up Procedure
Only qualified personnel should perform the start-up and
service of this equipment. It is highly recommended that the
initial start-up and future service be performed by McQuay
certified technicians who are familiar with the hazards of
working on live equipment. A representative of the owner or
the operator of the equipment should be present during startup to receive instructions in the operation, care and adjustment of the unit.
WARNING
Overheating or failure of the gas supply to shut off can
cause equipment damage, severe personal injury or death.
Turn off the manual gas valve to the appliance before
shutting off the electrical supply.
Before Start-up
1. Notify inspectors or representatives who may be
required to be present during start-up of gas fuel
equipment. These could include the gas utility company,
city gas inspectors, heating inspectors, etc.
2. Review the equipment and service literature and become
familiar with the location and purpose of the burner
controls. Determine where the gas and power can be
turned off at the unit, and before the unit.
3. Determine that power is connected to the unit and
available.
4. Determine that the gas piping, meter, and service
regulator have been installed, tested, and meet the
equipment requirements.
5. Determine that proper instruments will be available for
the start-up. A proper start-up requires the following:
voltmeter, manometer or gauges with ranges for both
manifold pressure and inlet gas pressure, keyboard
display module or a 20K ohm/volt meter for flame
safeguard, signal strength measurement, CO
indicator,
2
carbon monoxide indicator, and a stopwatch for timing
the gas meter.
About This Burner
Prepurge is Low-High-Low
The burner air control valve will be at the minimum position
during "off" cycles. Upon a call for heat or any other time
that a prepurge cycle occurs, the air control valve will be
repositioned to the maximum position for the prepurge and
then returned to the minimum position for low fire start.
Low Fire Start
The burner is controlled for proven low fire start. The actuator will position the modulating gas valve and the modulating air valve to the low fire position each time the burner is
to light off. Switch LS1 proves the air and gas valves are at
the low fire position. If LSl is not "made" at light off, the gas
valves cannot open and the flame safeguard will lock out,
requiring manual reset.
"Pilot" is Main Flame Modulated Down to Pilot Rate
The "pilot" is not a separate flame or burner. The "pilot" is
the main flame operating at its minimum rate. That minimum rate is so low that it qualifies as a pilot burner.
Set Control System to Enable Heating
To allow start-up and check-out of the burner, the control
system must be set to call for heating and must be used to
control the amount of heating. Set the control system to call
for heat so MCB-B011 energizes Relay R20. With MCBB011 closed, vary the temperature control set point to
increase, maintain, or reduce the firing rate of the burner as
required for these tests. If MCB-B09 is closed, the firing rate
will decrease. If MCB-B010 is closed the firing rate will
increase. If neither are "made", the firing rate will remain
unchanged.
Start-up Preliminary
1. See “Figure16a.” on page 25. Before energizing the
burner verify that the modulating air and gas valve mechanism moves freely and is not binding, and check the
linkage fasteners for tightness. This can be accomplished
without affecting any adjustments. Remove shoulder
screw (12) that connects the teflon bushing to the actuator
crank arm. The control rod can now be manually moved
back and forth; it should feel smooth with no binding or
scraping. Always remove shoulder screw (12) and test for
binding after reinstalling the gun assembly on Models
HT050-200.
2. .Close the gas line cocks. Install a Keyboard Display
Module, Honeywell Part No. S7800A1001, or connect a
20K ohm/volt meter to the test jack on the flame safeguard. See “Figure 7. RM7895A Flame Safegaurd” on
page 12.
3. .Check the burner fan wheel for binding, rubbing, or
loose set screws.
4. .Check power. Position switch S3 on burner control panel
to AUTO. The LED marked POWER on the flame safe-
8 IM 685-1
guard should come on and after a 10 second "Initiate"
period the burner motor should start. Check for counterclockwise rotation as viewed through the burner fan
housing inlet. If the motor does not start, press the reset
button on the flame safeguard. If the motor still does not
start, consult the appropriate section of the “Troubleshooting Chart” on page 22. Continue on to Item 5 when
burner motor will run 10 seconds after the switch is positioned to AUTO.
5. .Check voltage. With burner switch S3 at AUTO, measure voltage across burner control box terminals 2 and
NB. If it is not between 114 and 126 volts, check the voltage and tapping connections to th e supplying transformer at the unit main control panel.
port ✈✔✉ . The tube must surround the hole and seal
tightly against the burner housing to measure the static
pressure through the hole.
5. .See “Figure 16b.” on page 25. Position the burner switch
S3 to AUTO and with the burner actuator VM1 at the
maximum rate position measure the burner air box pressure at port ✈✔✉ . The actuator will remain at this position for the first 20 seconds of the prepurge period.
Typical static pressure readings are listed in Table 5, Column 6 on page 25. Any appreciable deviation from
these values indicate a burner air problem. Find and fix
the problem before attempting to fire the burner. These
problems could include linkages disturbed during shi pment, etc.
6. .Purge the gas lines. Close the main gas valves and turn the
electrical switches off. Make sure there are no arcing or
sparking switches, motors, or other equipment, pilot lights,
open flames, or other sources of ignition in the areas sharing ventilation. Disconnect the pilot gas tube at the pilot
pressure regulator and bleed the gas line of all air. Close
the pilot cock and reconnect the pilot tubing.
7. .Leak check. Using a rich soap-water mixture and a
brush, check the gas lines for leaks. Correct all leaks
before starting burner. After the burner is operating and
all the downstream valves are open, leak check that portion of the gas train.
8. .Connect a manometer to measure gas manifold pressure
at (1), Figure 16a. There is a 1/8 inch pipe size plugged
tapping in the gas line just before it enters the burner
housing.
Preliminary "Dry" Run
1. Close the gas line cock, Remove the burner front cover
and open the control panel door. Switches LS1 and LS2 in
the lower right hand corner of the control box should be
in view and the modulating actuator VM1 should be at
the minimum rate position. Verify that the right hand
switch LS1 is being held in the 'made' position by the collar on the control rod and that the switch lever is not bottomed out against the plastic switch housing.
2. .Position the burner switch S3 to AUTO. The flame safeguard will go through a 10 second "Initiate" period, after
which the burner motor will start. The modulating gas
valve actuator VM1 will drive the air valve and gas valve
to the maximum rate position. Observe the linkage for
any binding, loose fasteners, or other problems that could
have resulted from shipping.
3. .When the actuator reaches the maximum rate position,
verify that the left hand switch LS2 is held in the 'made'
position by the collar on the control rod and that the
switch lever is not bottomed out against the plastic switch
housing.
4. .See “Figure 16b.” on page 25. Position the burner switch
S3 to OFF. Close the control panel door and reinstall the
burner front cover. Prepare to measure the burner air box
pressure by holding a rubber manometer tube tightly over
Flame Start-up
1. Open the gas line cocks and position switch S3 to AUTO.
The flame safeguard will go through the 10 second "Initiate" period, after which the burner motor will start. The
modulating air and gas valve actuator VM1 will drive the
air valve to the full open position. At full open, the 60
second prepurge period will begin. After 20 seconds at
maximum open, the actuator will begin a 30 second
stroke to reposition the air valve back to the minimum
position. Upon completion of the 60 second prepurge
cycle, gas valve GV1 will open (as indicated when the
LED marked PILOT comes on), the ignition transformer
is powered and the flame should come on at minimum
rate.
2. .Observe the gas manifold pressure manometer during
this sequence. The manifold pressure should be close to
zero (it will indicate a slight heat exchanger pressure
caused by the burner combustion air fan). When gas
valve GV1 opens, it should indicate a manifold pressure
approximate to the values listed in Table 5, Column 10.
Approximately 3 seconds after GV1 is powered, the
flame will come on and the flame signal will read 1.5 to
5.0 volts DC. The LED marked FLAME will come on
when flame is detected and the LED marked MAIN will
come on if flame is being detected at the end of the 10
second trail for ignition period. When the LED marked
MAIN comes on, gas valves GV4-GV8 (whe n included)
will also open and the firing rate will be determined by
the control system. On the initial start-up, if the flame
does not light and the flame safeguard locks out, reset it
and make several attempts to light before assuming there
are problems other than more air in the gas lines. If initial
flame operation is erratic wait until after a period of main
flame operation has further purged the gas lines before
trying to "adjust out" something that may actually be
caused by air in the lines.
Modulate Firing Rates
Set the temperature control system so the burner actuator
VM1 will modulate to increase the firing rate. Observe the
flame signal and the manifold pressure manometer as this is
occurring. The flame signal should remain between 1.5 to
5.0 volts DC through the entire range of the burner, and the
manifold pressure should be between the values indicated by
IM 685-1 9
