UNIT LOCATION
DANGER
Appliances must not be installed where they may be exposed to a potentially explosive or flammable atmosphere.
IMPORTANT
To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, do not locate ANY gas-fired appliances in areas where corrosive vapors (i.e. chlorinated, halogenated or acid) are present in the atmosphere.
Location Recommendations
1. When locating the furnace, consider general space and heating requirements, availability of gas and electrical supply, and proximity to vent locations.
2. Unit must be installed on the positive pressure side of the circulating blower.
3. Be sure the structural support at the unit location site is adequate to support the weight of the unit. For proper operation the unit must be installed in a level horizontal position.
4. Do not install units in locations where the flue products can be drawn into the adjacent building openings such as windows, fresh air intakes, etc.
5. Be sure that the minimum clearances to combustible materials and recommended service clearances are maintained. Units are designed for installation on non­combustible surfaces with the minimum clearances shown in Figure 3.1 and Table 3.2.
6. Units installed downstream of refrigeration systems, or exposed to inlet air temperatures of 40°F or less, may experience condensation. Therefore, provisions should be made for disposal of condensate. Means have been provided in the bottom pan of the unit to accommodate a condensate drain line connection flange.
7. When locating units, it is important to consider that the combustion air and exhaust vent piping must be connected to the outside atmosphere, vent terminals should be located adjacent to one another. The maximum equivalent lengths are listed in Table 6.1 on page 6.
8. In garages or other sections of aircraft hangars such as offices and shops that communicate with areas used for servicing or storage, keep the bottom of the unit at least 7' above the floor unless the unit is properly guarded to provide user protection from moving parts. In parking garages, the unit must be installed in accordance with the standard for parking structures ANSI/NFPA 88A, and in repair garages the standard for repair garages NFPA #88B. In Canada, installation of unit heaters in airplane hangars must be in accordance with the requirements of the enforcing authority, and in public garages in accordance with the current CAN/ CGA-B149 codes.
9. Do not install units in locations where gas ignition system is exposed to water spray, rain, or dripping water.

Direction of Airflow
Select proper direction of airflow. For models in which the 10th digit of the model number is an “L” for Low Temperature Rise, the airflow direction is fully reversible without modification to the duct furnace. See Airflow Reversal Note.
If the unit is provided with an air distribution baffle (models in which the 10th digit of the model number is an “H” for High Temperature Rise), the air baffle must face the air inlet direction as shown in Figure 4.1. If it is necessary to reverse the airflow direction, remove the four screws securing the air distribution baffle, reverse the air distribution baffle to the air inlet side and replace the screws. See Airflow Reversal Note.
Figure 4.1 - Air Distribution Baffle Location
Baffle location shown on entering air side of duct furnace.
Airflow Reversal Note: If factory installed discharge air options (thermostat, freeze protection, etc.) were provided, these options would have to be relocated to the discharge air side of the duct furnace.
Duct Installation (refer to Figure 4.2)
1. The furnace is designed to accept straight ductwork. All connections between the ductwork and the furnace MUST be airtight to prevent air leakage. Seams with cracks in ductwork should be caulked and/or taped and be of permanent type.
2. Provide removable access panels on both the upstream and downstream sides of the ductwork. These openings should be large enough to view smoke or reflect light inside the casing to indicate leaks in the heat exchanger and to
check for hot spots on heat exchangers due to poor air distribution or lack of sufficient air (CFM).
Figure 4.2 - Duct Connections
Airflow Distribution
IMPORTANT
To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, observe heat exchanger tubes by looking at the heat exchanger through field installed access openings in connecting ductwork. If the tubes become red while blower and duct furnace are in operation, additional baffles must be inserted between blower and duct furnace to assure uniform air flow across the heat exchanger.
1. Provide uniform air distribution over the heat exchanger. Use turning vanes where required (see Figure 4.3) to obtain uniform air distribution. Avoid installing as in “G”, “H” & “J” of Figure 4.3.
2. A bottom, horizontal discharge type blower should be installed at least 12" from the furnace (See “A”, Figure 4.3).
3. A top, horizontal discharge type blower should be installed at least 24" from the furnace (See “B”, Figure 4.3). Provide air baffle at top of duct to deflect air down to the bottom of heat exchanger.

INSTALLATION - VENTING
W ARNING
1. Gas fired heating equipment must be vented - do not operate unvented.
2. A built-in power exhauster is provided - additional external power exhausters are not required or permitted.
3. If you are replacing an existing heater, it may be necessary to resize the venting systems. Improperly sized venting systems can result in vent gas leakage or the formation of condensate. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or CSA B149.1 latest edition. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.
4. Under no circumstances should two sections of double wall vent pipe be joined together within one horizontal vent system due to the inability to verify complete seal of inner pipes.
CAUTION
Installation must conform with local building codes or in the absence of local codes, with Part 7, Venting of Equipment, of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) - latest edition. In Canada installation must be in accordance with CSA B149.1.
A3. All heaters come with factory installed vent and combustion
air adapters for attaching the pipe to the heater. The pipe diameters are 4" for model sizes 75-175 and 6" for model sizes 200-400. All units are classified as Category III vented appliances, which defined by ANSI is positive pressure, non-condensing, and requires the vent system to be gastight. Attach the vent pipe to the adapter with 3 corrosion resistant screws. (Drill pilot holes through the vent pipe and adapter prior to screwing in place). Vent pipe must not be smaller than the connector size. Category III vent systems listed by a nationally recognized agency and matching the diameters specified may be used. Different brands of vent materials may not be intermixed.
A4. Limit the total equivalent vent pipe length to a minimum of
5' and a maximum as shown in Table 5.1, making the vent system as straight as possible. Total equivalent vent pipe length must include elbows. The equivalent length of a 4" elbow is 5' and for a 6" elbow is 7'.
Table 5.1 - Individual Total Equivalent Lengths for Combustion Air and Exhaust Vent Pipes

Instructions – All Units”.
Section A - General Instructions - All Units
A1. If the heater being installed is replacing existing equipment
and using the existing vent system from that equipment, inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or CSA B149.1 Installation Code-latest edition and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies, which could cause an unsafe condition.
A2. The combustion air and vent pipes should be galvanized
steel or other suitable corrosion resistant material. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code for minimum thickness of vent material. The minimum thickness for connectors varies depending on the pipe diameter. Do not vent unit with PVC or other forms of plastic venting material.
A5. A minimum of 12" straight pipe is recommended from the
flue outlet before turns in the vent pipe.
A6. Horizontal sections of vent and combustion air pipes are to
be installed with a minimum downward slope from the appliance of 1/4 inch per foot and suspended securely from overhead structures at points not greater than 3' apart.
A7. Fasten individual lengths of vent together with at least
three corrosion resistant sheet metal screws.
A8. Keep single wall vent pipe at least 6" from combustible
materials. For double wall vent pipe, follow the vent pipe manufacturer’s clearances to combustibles. The minimum distance from combustible materials is based on the combustible material surface not exceeding 160°F. Clearance from the vent pipe (or the top of the unit) may be required to be greater than 6" if heat damage other than fire could result (such as material distortion or discoloration).
A9. Avoid venting through unheated space when possible.
When venting does pass through an unheated space or if the unit is installed in an environment that promotes condensation, insulate runs greater than 5' to minimize condensation. Inspect for leakage prior to insulating and use insulation that is noncombustible with a rating of not less than 400°F. Install a tee fitting at the low point of the vent system and provide a drip leg with a clean out cap as shown in Figure 7.1.
A10. When the vent passes through a combustible INTERIOR
wall or floor, a metal thimble 4" greater than the vent diameter is necessary. If there is 6' or more of vent pipe in the open space between the appliance and where the vent pipe passes through the wall or floor, the thimble need only be 2" greater than the diameter of the vent pipe. If a thimble is not used, all combustible material must be cut away to provide 6" of clearance. Where authorities have jurisdiction type B vent may be used for the last section of vent pipe to maintain clearance to combustibles while passing through wall or floor. See Figure 6.1. Any material used to close the opening must be noncombustible.

A11. All seams and joints of un-gasketed single wall pipe must
be sealed with metallic tape (3M aluminum foil tapes 433 or 363 are acceptable) or silastic suitable for temperatures up to 400°F. Wrap the tape two full turns around the vent pipe. One continuous section of double wall vent pipe may be used within the vent system. Refer to instruction A12 in “Section A – General Instructions – All Units” for attaching double wall pipe to single wall pipe.
A12. The following are General Instructions for Double Wall
(Type B) Terminal Pipe Installation. Under no circumstances should two sections of double wall vent pipe be joined together within one horizontal vent system due to the inability to verify complete seal of inner pipes.
How to attach a single wall vent terminal to double wall (type B) vent pipe:
1. Look for the “flow” arrow on the vent pipe.
2. Slide the vent terminal inside the exhaust end of the double wall vent pipe.
3. Drill (3) holes through the pipe and the vent terminal. Using 3/4" long sheet metal screws, attach the cap to the pipe. Do not over tighten.
How to connect a single wall vent system to double wall (type B) vent pipe:
1. Slide the single wall pipe inside the inner wall of the double wall pipe.
2. Drill (3) holes through both walls of the single and double wall vent pipes. Using 3/4" sheet metal screws, attach the two pieces of pipe. Do not over tighten.
3. The gap between the single and double wall pipe must be sealed but it is not necessary to fill the full volume of the annular area. To seal, run a large bead of 400°F silastic around the gap.
A13 Do NOT vent this appliance into a masonry chimney. A14. Do NOT use dampers or other devices in the vent or
combustion air pipes.
A15.
The venting system must be exclusive to a single appliance, and no other appliance is allowed to be vented into it.
A16. Precautions must be taken to prevent degradation of
building materials by flue products.
A17. Single wall vent pipe must not pass through any
unoccupied attic, inside wall, concealed space, or floor.
A18. Uninsulated single wall vent pipe must not be used

Section D - Concentric Vent System Installation
D1. This section applies to both horizontally and vertically
vented concentric vent systems as defined in “Section A – General Instructions – All Units”, and is in addition to the instructions in that section.
D2. When utilizing the concentric vent option, it should have
been predetermined whether the appliance will be horizontally or vertically vented. Before proceeding, verify that the concentric vent kit received contains the correct
components for the installation:

building. It must not be mounted outside the building. The adapter box has integral mounting holes for ease of installation. When horizontal venting multiple units, the minimum spacing between any sides of the adapter boxes must be 18" and boxes must not overlap in the vertical plane (above or below). When condensation may be a problem, the vent system shall not terminate over public walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief openings, or other equipment.
INSTALLATION - VENTING
D5. The adapter box can be mounted flush to the wall (for
horizontal kits) or to the ceiling (for vertical kits). The box can also be offset from the wall or ceiling by using field supplied brackets. When mounting the box, consider serviceability and access to the vent and combustion air pipes. If the box is to be mounted using field supplied brackets, these brackets must be strong enough to rigidly secure the box to the wall or ceiling, and should be made from corrosion resistant material.
D6. Determine the length of the vent pipe and combustion air
inlet pipe for the selected location. THE VENT PIPE WILL PASS THROUGH THE CONCENTRIC VENT BOX. THE LAST SECTION OF VENT PIPE IS A CONTINUOUS LENGTH OF DOUBLE WALL “B” VENT. See section A12 for attaching and terminating double wall pipe. Begin with pipe lengths on the concentric pipe side of the adapter box referring to Figure 9.1. These pipes will extend through the building wall or roof as well as any added length for the thickness of the wall and the offset from any field installed brackets.
For Vertical Concentric Vent Kits
(refer to Figure 8.3):
• The bottom of the combustion air intake pipe must
terminate above the snow line, or at least 12 inches above the roof, whichever distance is greater.
• The bottom of the vent cap must terminate at least 6
inches above the top of the combustion air intake cap.
For Horizontal Concentric Vent Kits
(refer to Figure 8.4):
• The combustion air intake pipe must terminate at least 1 inch from the wall to prevent water from running down the wall and into the pipe.
• The back of the vent cap must terminate at least 14
inches from the combustion air intake pipe.
D7. Cut the concentric side vent and combustion air pipes to
the proper length as determined in the previous step. Note that the vent pipe diameter is 4" and the combustion air intake pipe diameter is 6" for model sizes 75-175, and 6” and 8” respectively for model sizes 200-400. The pipes must be single wall galvanized or stainless steel material, except for the last section of vent pipe, which must be one continuous length of double wall B-vent extended through the concentric vent box and combustion air inlet pipe on the concentric side of the box.
D8. Allow the concentric side vent pipe to pass through the
concentric vent adapter box, as shown in Figure 9.1. Attach the double wall vent pipe to the single wall vent pipe that goes to the unit. Be sure to seal the joint and the open area around the double wall vent. Seal all joints and seams using sealant suitable for temperatures up to 400°F.
D9. Slide the combustion air pipe over the vent pipe and
attach to the air inlet of the concentric adapter box, as shown in Figure 9.1, using at least 3 corrosion resistant sheet metal screws. Seal the joint and seam using sealant suitable for temperatures up to 400°F.
D10. Place this assembly (the adapter box, vent pipe and
combustion air pipe) through the wall or roof and verify that the distance requirements as defined in Step D7 are met. Securely attach the assembly building.
D11. From outside the building, caulk the gap between the
combustion air intake pipe and the building penetration.
D12. Attach the combustion air intake and vent pipe
terminations as follows:

For Vertical Concentric Vent Kits (refer to Figure 8.3):
• Slide the combustion air cap down over the vent pipe
and fasten it to the combustion air pipe with at least 3 corrosion resistant sheet metal screws.
• Attach the vent cap to the vent pipe using at least 3
corrosion resistant sheet metal screws. Refer to instruction A12 for connecting terminal to double wall pipe.
• Caulk the gap between the combustion air cap and the
vent pipe with silicone sealant, or other appropriate sealants suitable for metal to metal contact and for temperatures up to 400° F.
For Horizontal Concentric Vent Kits
(refer to Figure 8.4):
• Attach the combustion air intake guard using corrosion
resistant screws at the end of the combustion air intake pipe to prevent animals and debris from entering.
• Attach the vent cap to the vent pipe using at least 3
corrosion resistant sheet metal screws.
D13. Install vent pipe and combustion air pipe between unit
heater and concentric vent adapter box as outlined in “Section A – General Instructions – All Units”.

WARNING
1. All field gas piping must be pressure/leak tested prior to operation. Never use an open flame. Use a soap solution or equivalent for testing.
2. Gas pressure to appliance controls must never exceed 14" W.C. (1/2 psi).
3. To reduce the opportunity for condensation, the minimum sea level input to the appliance, as indicated on the serial plate, must not be less than 5% below the rated input, or 5% below the minimumm rated input of dual rated units.
CAUTION
Purging of air from gas supply line should be performed as described in ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition “National Fuel Gas Code”, or in Canada in CAN/CGA-B149 codes.
IMPORTANT
To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, the input to the appliance, as indicated on the serial plate, must not exceed the rated input by more than 5%.
1. Installation of piping must conform with local building codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) - Latest Edition. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 for natural gas units and CAN/CGA-B149.2 for propane units.
2. Piping to units should conform with local and national requirements for type and volume of gas handled, and pressure drop allowed in the line. Refer to Table 10.1 to determine the cubic feet per hour (cfh) for the type of gas and size of unit to be installed. Using this cfh value and the length of pipe necessary, determine the pipe diameter from Table 11.2. Where several units are served by the same main, the total capacity, cfh and length of main must be considered. Avoid pipe sizes smaller than 1/2". Table 10.1 allows for a 0.3" W.C. pressure drop in the supply pressure from the building main to the unit. The inlet pressure to the unit must be 6-7" W.C. for natural gas and 11-14" W.C. for propane gas. When sizing the inlet gas pipe diameter, make sure that the unit supply pressure can be met after the 0.3" W.C. has been subtracted. If the 0.3" W.C. pressure drop is too high, refer to the Gas Engineer’s Handbook for other gas pipe capacities.
3. The gas piping to the unit can enter the unit from the side of the unit or from below. Install a ground joint union with brass seat and a manual shut-off valve external of the unit casing, and adjacent to the unit for emergency shut-off and easy servicing of controls, including a 1/8" NPT plugged tapping accessible for test gauge connection (See Figure 10.1).
4. Provide a sediment trap before each unit in the line where low spots cannot be avoided. (See Figure 10.1).
5. When Pressure/Leak testing, pressures above 14" W.C. (1/2 psi), close the field installed shut-off valve, disconnect the appliance and its combination gas control from the gas supply line, and plug the supply line before testing. When testing pressures 14" W.C. (1/2 psi) or below, close the manual shut-off valve on the appliance before testing.

Considerations for Elevation
The standard rating for Model IFS is certified for elevations up to 2,000 feet above sea level. Operation at elevations above 2,000 feet requires ratings be reduced 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level per ANSI Z223.1. The exception is for units in Canada, CSA requires that ratings be reduced 10% for elevations between 2,001 and 4,500 feet. The following instructions are for units that will be installed over 2,000 feet elevation. If this does not apply, you may skip ahead to the Electrical Connections section on page 12.
Manifold Pressure Adjustment
The unit manifold pressure is factory set for operation at elevations up to 2000 feet as follows:
• For Natural Gas units, 3.5" W.C. based on a gas heating value of 1,050 BTU/ft3.
• For Propane Gas units, 10.0" W.C. based on a gas heating value of 2,500 BTU/ft3.
For higher elevations, some utility companies may derate the BTU content (heating value) of the gas provided at altitude to a lower value to allow certain heating appliances to be used with no manifold pressure adjustments. For this reason it is necessary that the supplying utility be contacted for detailed information about the gas type and BTU content (heating value) before operating any heater. Table 11.1 shows the standard derated heating values of natural and propane gases at various elevations.

j Values shown are for 3.5" W.C. manifold pressure for Natural Gas and 10.0"
W.C. for Propane Gas. If the local utility supplies gas with a different Btu/ft3 value, use Equation 11.1 to calculate the required manifold pressure.
k Gas heating values shown are derated 4% per 1,000' of elevation (10%
between 2,000' and 4,500' elevation in Canada) in accordance with ANSI Z223.1 and CSA-B149, respectively.
l 945 Btu/ft3 for Canada m 2,250 Btu/ft3 for Canada n When installed at altitudes above 2,000', a pressure switch may need to be
changed. Refer to Table 11.2 to determine if a switch change is required.
If the utility is supplying gas with heating values SAME as shown in Table 11.1, the manifold pressure should remain set to 3.5" W.C. for natural gas and 10.0" W.C. for propane gas and you may proceed to the section on this page titled “Selection of the Proper High Altitude Kit”.
If the utility is supplying gas with heating values DIFFERENT than shown in Table 11.1, use Equation 11.1 to determine the appropriate manifold pressure for the elevation and gas heating value being supplied. Note what that value is, as it will be needed later for Start-Up. Proceed to the section on this page titled “Selection of the Proper High Altitude Kit”.

lAll kits include a High Altitude Conversion Label and Installation Instructions.
Additionally, all kits except 67248 include a Pressure Switch to replace the standard switch.
If a unit is to be installed at higher elevations AND converted from natural gas to propane gas operation, a propane conversion kit must be used in conjunction with the manifold pressure adjustment and high altitude kit listed above.

INSTALLATION / START-UP PROCEDURE
Electrical Connections START-UP PROCEDURE
WARNING
1. Disconnect power supply before making wiring connections to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.
2. All appliances must be wired strictly in accordance with wiring diagram furnished with the appliance. Any wiring different from the wiring diagram could result in a hazard to persons and property.
3. Any original factory wiring that requires replacement must be replaced with wiring material having a temperature rating of at least 105°C.
4. Ensure that the supply voltage to the appliance, as indicated on the serial plate, is not 5% greater than rated voltage.
CAUTION
Ensure that the supply voltage to the appliance, as indicated on the serial plate, is not 5% less than rated voltage.
1. Installation of wiring must conform with local building codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 - Latest Edition. Unit must be electrically grounded in conformance to this code. In Canada, wiring must comply with CSA C22.1, Part 1, Electrical Code.
2. All duct furnaces are provided with a wiring diagram located on the inside door of the electrical junction box. Refer to this wiring diagram for all wiring connections. For factory installed options and field installed accessory wiring, refer to Set A and Set B on the provided wiring diagram.
3. The power supply to the duct furnace should be protected with a fused disconnect switch.
4. Refer to the unit serial plate (see Figure 26.1) for the amp draw of the duct furnace. Size the disconnect switch to cover the amp draw of the unit. For 460V and 575V units (Digit 14=F or G) a step down transformer is required. Units with Digit 15=1 require a 250VA transformer, units with Digit 15=2 require a 500VA transformer, and units with Digit 15=3 or 4 require a 1000VA transformer
5. Refer to the unit dimensional drawing on page 18 for the electrical knockout locations.
IMPORTANT
Start-up and adjustment procedures should be performed by a qualified service agency.
1. Turn off power to the unit at the disconnect switch. Check that fuses or circuit breakers are in place and sized correctly. Turn all hand gas valves to the “OFF” position.
2. Check that the supply voltage matches the unit supply voltage listed on the serial plate. Verify that all wiring is secure and properly protected. Trace circuits to insure that the unit has been wired according to the wiring diagram.
3. Check that all electrical and gas connections to the unit are sealed to prevent air leakage.
4. Check to insure that the venting system is installed and free from obstructions.
5. Check to see that there are no obstructions to the intake and
discharge of the duct furnace.
6. Perform a visual inspection of the unit to make sure no
damage has occurred during installation.
7. Turn on power to the unit at the disconnect switch. Check to
insure that the voltage between terminals 1 and 2 is 24V.
8. Check the thermostat, ignition control, gas valve, power
exhauster motor, and supply fan blower motor for electrical operation. If these do not function, recheck the wiring diagram. Check to insure that none of the Gas Control Options & Accessories (see page 16) have tripped.
9. Recheck the gas supply pressure at the field installed
manual-shut-off valve. The inlet pressure should be 6"-7" W.C. on natural gas or 11"-14" W.C. on propane. If inlet pressure is too high, install an additional pressure regulator upstream of the combination gas control.
10. Open the field installed manual gas shut-off valve.
11. Open the manual main gas valve on the combination gas
control. Call for heat with the thermostat and allow the pilot to light. On a call for heat the power exhauster relay will energize the power exhauster motor. Once the power exhauster motor reaches full speed, the differential pressure switch will close before the pilot can light. If the pilot does not light, purge the pilot line. If air purging is required, disconnect the pilot line at outlet of pilot valve. In no case should line be purged into heat exchanger. Check the pilot flame length (See Pilot Burner Adjustment).
12. Once the pilot has been established, check to make sure
that the main gas valve opens. Check the manifold gas pressure (See Main Burner Adjustment) and flame length (See Air Shutter Adjustment) while the circulating air blower is operating.
13. Check to insure that gas controls sequence properly
(See Control Operating Sequence). Verify if the unit has any additional control devices and set according to the instructions in the Gas Controls Options.
14. Once proper operation of the duct furnace has been verified,
remove any jumper wires that were required for testing.
15. Close the electrical compartment door.
16. Replace all exterior panels.

AIR 5-593.9
START-UP PROCEDURE
Pilot Burner Adjustment
The pilot burner is orificed to burn properly with an inlet pressure of 6-7" W.C. on natural gas and 11-14" W.C. on propane gas, but final adjustment must be made after installation. If the pilot flame is too long or large, it is possible that it may cause soot and/or impinge on the heat exchanger causing failure. If the pilot flame is shorter than shown, it may cause poor ignition and result in the controls not opening the combination gas control. A short flame can be caused by a dirty pilot orifice. Pilot flame condition should be observed periodically to assure trouble-free operation.
To Adjust the Pilot Flame
1. Create a call for heat from the thermostat.
2. Remove the cap from the pilot adjustment screw. For location, see the combination gas control literature supplied with unit.
3. Adjust the pilot length by turning the screw in or out to achieve a soft steady flame 3/4" to 1" long and encompassing 3/8"-1/2" of the tip of the thermocouple or flame sensing rod (See Figure 13.1).
4. Replace the cap from the pilot adjustment screw.
Figure 13.1 - Correct Pilot Flame
3/4" to 1"
Main Burner Adjustment
The gas pressure regulator (integral to the combination gas control) is adjusted at the factory for average gas conditions. It is important that gas be supplied to the duct furnace in accordance with the input rating on the serial plate. Actual input should be checked and necessary adjustments made after the duct furnace is installed. Over-firing, a result of too high an input, reduces the life of the appliance and increases maintenance. Under no circumstances should the input exceed that shown on the serial plate.
Measuring the manifold pressure is done at the tee in the manifold (See Figure 13.2).
To Adjust the Manifold Pressure
1. Move the field installed manual shut-off valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the 1/8" pipe plug in the pipe tee and attach a water manometer of “U” tube type which is at least 12" high.
3. Move the field installed manual gas shut-off valve to the “ON” position.
4. Create a high fire call for heat from the thermostat.
5. Determine the correct high fire manifold pressure. For natural gas 3.5” W.C., for propane gas 10” W.C. Adjust the main gas pressure regulator spring to achieve the proper manifold pressure (for location, see the combination gas control literature supplied with unit).
6. If the unit has Electronic Modulation gas controls (determine from the Model Identification Digit 12), the low fire gas pressure needs to be adjusted. Using Figure 13.3 for item number locations, this is accomplished as follows:
a. Disconnect power. b. Remove all wires from duct furnace terminal “43” and
remove cover plate (2). c. Turn on power at the disconnect switch. d. Remove the maximum adjustment screw (4), spring (5),
and plunger (8). A small magnet is useful for this purpose.
CAUTION - The plunger is a precision part. Handle
carefully to avoid marring or picking up grease
and dirt. Do not lubricate. e. Using minimum adjusting screw (9), adjust low fire
manifold pressure to 0.56" W.C. for natural gas and
1.6" W.C. for propane gas.
f. Replace plunger and spring retainer, spring, and
maximum adjusting screw in proper order. g. Using maximum adjustment screw (4), adjust high fire
manifold pressure to 3.5" W.C. for natural gas and 10"
W.C. for propane gas. h. Disconnect power. i. Replace cover plate (2) and re-install all wires from
duct furnace terminal “43”.
7. After adjustment, move the field installed manual shut-off
valve to the “OFF” position and replace the 1/8" pipe plug.
8. After the plug is in place, move the field installed manual
shut-off valve to the “ON” position and recheck pipe plugs for gas leaks with soap solution.

START-UP PROCEDURE
Air Shutter Adjustment
Proper operation provides a soft blue flame with a well-defined inner core. A lack of primary air will reveal soft yellow-tipped flames. Excess primary air produces short, well-defined flames with a tendency to lift off the burner ports. For both natural and propane gas, the air shutters can be adjusted to control the burner flame height. The air shutters can be accessed by reaching behind the manifold tee shown in Figure 23.1. The larger models may require the removal of the manifold (see Manifold Assembly Removal).
Natural Gas Flame Control
Control of burner flames on duct furnaces utilizing natural gas is achieved by resetting the primary air shutters (See Figure
23.1) to either increase or decrease primary combustion air. Prior to flame adjustment, operate duct furnace for about fifteen minutes. The main burner flame can be viewed after loosening and pushing aside the gas designation disc on the side of the burner box.
To increase primary air, loosen the air shutter set screws and move the air shutters closer to the manifold until the yellow­tipped flames disappear. (See Figure 23.1 for air shutter and heat exchanger support locations.) To decrease primary air, move the air shutters away from the manifolds until flames no longer lift from burner ports, but being careful not to cause yellow tipping. Retighten set screws after adjustment.
Propane Gas Flame Control
An optimum flame will show a slight yellow tip. Prior to flame adjustment, operate furnace for at least fifteen minutes. Loosen air shutter set screws and move the air shutters away from the manifold to reduce the primary air until the yellow flame tips appear. Then increase the primary air until yellow tips diminish and a clean blue flame with a well defined inner cone appears.
IMPORTANT
To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, with all control systems, a blower starting mechanism must be provided so that the blower is running or energized within 45 seconds of the gas control operation.
Control Operating Sequence
Duct furnaces are supplied with intermittent pilot systems with continuous retry, which both the main burner and pilot burner are turned off 100% when the thermostat is satisfied. On a call for heat, the system will attempt to light the pilot for 70 seconds. If the pilot is not sensed for any reason, the ignition control will wait for approximately six minutes with the combination gas control closed and no spark. After six minutes, the cycle will begin again. After three cycles, some ignition controllers lockout for approximately one hour before the cycle begins again. This will continue indefinitely until the pilot flame is sensed or power is interrupted to the system.
Note: Gas Control Options (see page 16) could change the listed sequence of operation based on their function. The descriptions given are for the basic duct furnace.
Single Furnace Controls
Staged Control (Digit 12=1 or 2):
These units utilize a single- or two-stage combination gas valve, an ignition control, and a low voltage thermostat.
Electronic Modulating Control (Digit 12=4, 7, or 8):
These units utilize a single-stage combination gas valve, an electronic modulating gas valve, a modulating amplifier, an ignition control, and one of the following:
• Modulating room thermostat
• Modulating duct thermostat with remote temperature set point
adjuster
• Building Management System (BMS) signal by others (an
inverted signal where 0 VDC or 4 mA is high fire and 10 VDC or 20 mA is low fire).
14
The control operating sequence for all units is as follows:
1. The thermostat calls for heat. For BMS controlled units, the BMS closes a heat enable contact at the unit.
2. The power exhauster relay is energized starting the power exhauster motor. Once the motor has reached full speed, the differential pressure switch closes. The power exhauster pre­purge time delay relay then closes after 20 to 40 seconds and energizes the gas control circuit.
3. The pilot valve opens and the spark igniter sparks in an attempt to light the pilot. (If the unit was not provided with a time delay relay, the blower starts).
4. Once the pilot is lit, the flame sensor proves the pilot and stops the spark igniter from sparking.
5. The main gas valve is opened and the main burner is controlled as follows:
a. Single-Stage Units: The main burner is lit to 100% full fire. b. Two-Stage Units: The main burner is lit to 50% fire. If
the temperature at the thermostat continues to fall, the thermostat will call for high stage heat and the main burner is lit to 100% full fire.
c. Modulating Thermostat (Room or Duct): The main
gas valve is opened 100% and the burner firing rate is modulated between 40% and 100% full fire. A resistance
AIR 5-593.9
START-UP PROCEDURE
signal (8000 to 12000 ohms) in the thermostat is converted by the modulating amplifier to an inverted DC voltage (0VDC for high fire to 12 VDC for low fire). The output voltage is applied to the modulating gas valve to control the gas flow to the main burner. The modulating valve is modulated open or closed based on the voltage from the amplifier (less gas flow required = higher voltage, more gas flow required = lower voltage).
Note: When modulating duct sensing is utilized, a room
override thermostat can be added. When the room override calls for heat, the burner modulates to full fire operation until the room override is satisfied. The unit then reverts back to duct sensing control. When equipped with both, either the duct sensor or the room override thermostat can call for heat.
d. BMS Signal: The main gas valve is opened 100% and the
burner firing rate is modulated between 40% and 100% full fire. A BMS 0-10VDC or 4-20mA signal (inverted, such that 0 VDC or 4 mA is high fire and 10 VDC or 20 mA is low fire) is converted by the signal conditioner/modulating amplifier into an inverted DC voltage (0VDC for high fire to 12 VDC for low fire). The output voltage is applied to the modulating gas valve to control the gas flow to the main burner. The signal conditioner can accept a 0-10 VDC signal when all the dip switches are in the “OFF” position and 4-20 mA signal when all the dip switches are in the “ON” position. The modulating valve is modulated open or closed based on the voltage from the amplifier (less gas flow required = higher voltage, more gas flow required = lower voltage), which correlates to the control signal from the BMS.
Note: For further information regarding the operation of
any of the electronic modulating system options above, consult the literature provided with the unit.
6. If the unit was provided with a time delay relay, the blower starts after 30 to 45 seconds.
7. The unit continues to operate until the thermostat is satisfied,
Once satisfied:
a. Single-Stage Units: Both the main and pilot valves close
100%.
b. Two-Stage Units: Once the high stage of the thermostat
is satisfied, the main valve closes to 50% fire. The unit continues to operate until the low stage thermostat is satisfied, at which time both the main and pilot valves close 100%.
c. Electronic Modulation Units: The unit continues to
operate in this manner until the thermostat is satisfied or the BMS heat enable contact opens. Power is then cut to both the main and pilot valves, closing them 100% and stopping gas flow to the main and pilot burners.
8. If the unit was not provided with a time delay relay, the blower
stops immediately. If the unit was provided with a time delay relay, the blower stops after 30 to 45 seconds.
Multiple Furnace Controls
Staged Control (Digit 12=1 or 2):
For control of multiple staged units, each furnace would be individually controlled. Refer to the section for Single Furnace Controls, Staged Control (Digit 12=1 or 2).
Electronic Modulating Control (Digit 12=4):
Electronic modulation control of multiple furnaces with model nomenclature Digit 12=4 is not available. Refer to the section below for Electronic Modulating Control (Digit 12 = 5 and 6).
Electronic Modulating Control (Digit 12=7, or 8):
For control of multiple electronic modulation units for BMS control, each furnace would be individually controlled. Refer to the section for Single Furnace Controls, Electronic Modulation Control (Digit 12=7 or 8).
Electronic Modulating Control (Digit 12=5 and 6):
These units are the same as Electronic Modulating Gas Controls – Single Furnace (Digit 12=4) except the Master unit (Digit 12=5) features a modulating amplifier capable of driving multiple modulating gas valves for systems with a Master and up to three Slave units (Digit 12=6). Slave units do not have a modulating amplifier. The units would be controlled by one of the following:
• Modulating room thermostat
• Modulating duct thermostat with remote temperature set point
adjuster
The sequence of operation for Electronic Modulating Gas Controls - Master/Slave is the same as Electronic Modulating Gas Controls - Single Furnace. The modulating amplifier sends an equal voltage signal to all of the modulating gas valves so that they modulate at the same percentage, between 40% and 100% full fire.
Variable Air Movement Applications
When the air mover supplied by others can provide variable air movement (i.e. variable frequency drive units), the allowable minimum CFM of the duct furnace can be 66% of the minimum listed CFM in Table 18.1 if the unit is applied as follows:
1. The unit is provided with 2-stage or electronic modulating gas controls (See Model Identification).
2. The unit is provided with a discharge air controller.
3. The system does not include a room thermostat.
The discharge air thermostat will prevent the unit from firing above the allowable 100°F rise when the unit is at or above the minimum CFM by monitoring the discharge air and going to low fire. A room thermostat, because it is located remote from the unit, could cause the unit to over-fire.

Gas Control Options
The unit must be reviewed to determine if any of the listed gas control options were supplied.
j Time Delay Relay
The Time Delay Relay is factory installed in the duct furnace electrical junction box. The standard duct furnace is provided for instantaneous fan operation. On a call for heat, the blower is energized at the same time as the gas controls. The optional time delay relay allows the gas controls to operate for approximately 30 seconds before the blower starts. This allows the heat exchanger a warm up period so that the initial delivered air coming out of the ductwork is not cool. The time delay relay also keeps the motor running for approximately 30 seconds after the call for heat has been satisfied to remove the residual heat from the heat exchanger.
k Low Gas Pressure Switch
The low gas pressure switch is factory installed in the duct furnace above the gas train. The switch monitors the gas pressure upstream of all the gas controls and shuts off the electric supply to the ignition controller and combination gas valve if low gas pressure is experienced. This will shut off all gas flow to the burner. The switch has an automatic reset so that if the gas pressure is interrupted and then is returned, the switch will automatically allow the unit to operate when gas conditions are returned to the allowable range of the pressure switch. The pressure switch range is 2" to 14" W.C. and should be set to insure that the minimum inlet gas pressure is available (6" W.C. for natural gas, 11" W.C. for propane gas).
l High Gas Pressure Switch
The high gas pressure switch is factory installed in the duct furnace above the gas train. The switch monitors the gas pressure downstream of all the gas controls and shuts off the electric supply to the ignition controller and combination gas valve if high gas pressure is experienced right before the manifold. This will shut off all gas flow to the burner. The switch has a manual reset so that if the gas pressure is too high, a service person must check the unit to make sure that none of the gas controls have been damaged by the high gas pressure and then reset the switch to allow the unit to operate when gas conditions are returned to the allowable range of the pressure switch. The pressure switch range is 2" to 16" W.C. and should be set to insure that the maximum manifold gas pressure is not exceeded (3.5" W.C. for natural gas, 10" W.C. for propane gas).
o Air Flow Proving Switch
The air flow proving switch is factory installed in the duct furnace electrical junction box. The air flow proving switch monitors the pressure differential between the duct furnace and the atmosphere. The purpose of the air flow proving switch is to cut power to the gas controls if a positive pressure is not measured by the switch. This could be caused by a lack of air movement through the heat exchanger.
NOTE: The air flow proving switch will prevent any heat
exchanger warm-up (the unit should not be equipped with a time delay relay) because the gas controls can not be energized until air flow is proven.
Setting the Air Flow Proving Switch
The range of the air flow proving switch is adjustable between 0.17" to 5.0" W.C.
1. Set the thermostat so that there is a call for heat. This should start the blower and then the burner ignition sequence.
2. Turn the set screw of the pressure switch clockwise until it stops. This will set the pressure at 5.0" W.C.
3. Turn the screw counter-clockwise until the gas controls light and then one additional full turn (This is approximately 0.25'' W.C.). This will allow for dirty filters or any other slight static pressure increases in the system.
p Manual Reset High Limit
The manual reset high limit switch is factory installed in place of the standard automatic reset high limit switch located in the duct furnace electrical junction box. In case of a failure of the blower motor, blockage of the inlet air, etc., the manual reset switch prevents the unit from cycling on the high limit. If the limit temperature is exceeded, a service person must inspect the unit for the cause of the high discharge temperature, take corrective action, and then reset the switch.
Figure 16.1 - Location of Gas Control Options
m Supply Air Fire Stat
The fire stat is factory installed in the duct furnace electrical junction box with the sensor in the discharge air stream. In case of elevated temperatures in the supply air, the manual reset switch shuts down the entire unit. If the limit temperature is exceeded, a service person must inspect the unit for the cause of the high discharge temperature, take corrective action, and then reset the switch.
n Timed Freeze Protection
The timed freeze protection system is factory installed in the duct furnace electrical junction box with the sensor (30°-75°F adjustable) factory installed in discharge air stream. On initial start-up, the timed delay in the system allows the unit to go through the normal ignition sequence. The timed delay is a manual reset switch and adjustable for 1-10 minutes. In the event that the unit fails to fire after this period, the discharge air sensor will sense the cold air and will shut down the entire unit.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
1. Installing, starting up and servicing heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment poses significant hazards and requires specialized knowledge of Modine products and training in performing those services. Failure to have any service properly performed by, or making any modification to Modine equipment without the use of, qualified service personnel could result in serious injury to person and property, including death. Therefore, only qualified service personnel should work on any Modine products.
2. When servicing or repairing this equipment, use only factory-approved service replacement parts. A complete replacement parts list may be obtained by contacting Modine Manufacturing Company. Refer to the rating plate on the appliance for complete appliance model number, serial number, and company address. Any substitution of parts or controls not approved by the factory will be at the owner’s risk.
Duct Furnace
When providing annual maintenance for the duct furnace, keep
the unit free from dust, dirt, grease and foreign matter. Pay particular attention to:
1. The combustion air and exhaust vent piping.
2. The burner ports and pilot burner orifices (avoid the use of hard, sharp instruments capable of damaging surfaces for cleaning these ports). To check the burner port and pilot burner orifice, see Burner and Pilot Assembly Removal.
3. The air shutters and main burner orifices (avoid the use of hard, sharp instruments capable of damaging surfaces for cleaning these orifices). To check the air shutters and main burner orifices, see for Manifold Assembly Removal.
The heat exchanger should be checked annually for cracks and discoloration of the tubes. If a crack is detected, the heat exchanger should be replaced before the unit is put back into service. If the tubes are dark gray, airflow across the heat exchanger should be checked to insure that a blockage has not occurred or the blower is operating properly.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to reuse any mechanical or electrical controller which has been wet. Replace defective controller.
IMPORTANT
To check most of the Possible Remedies in the troubleshooting guide listed in Table 24.1, refer to the applicable sections of the manual.
All heating equipment should be serviced before each heating season to assure proper operations. The following items may be required to have more frequent service schedule based on the environment in which the unit is installed, and the frequency of the equipment operation.
Before any service, BE SURE TO TURN OFF GAS AT THE MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE AHEAD OF THE COMBINATION GAS CONTROL AND TURN OFF ALL ELECTRIC POWER TO THE HEATER AND AIR MOVING SYSTEM.
Blower Assembly
The blower assembly includes the bearings, drive sheaves and belts.
Blower bearings should be checked and lubricated based on the blower manufacturer’s recommendations. Bearings should also be checked for any unusual wear and replaced if needed.
Drive sheaves should be checked at the same time the bearings are inspected. Check to make sure the sheaves are in alignment and are securely fastened to the blower and motor shafts.
Belt tension should be rechecked shortly after the unit has been installed to check for belt stretching. After the initial start-up, monthly checks are recommended.
Electrical Wiring
The electrical wiring should be checked annually for loose connections or deteriorated insulation.
Gas Piping & Controls
The gas valves and piping should be checked annually for general cleanliness and tightness.
The gas controls should be checked to insure that the unit is operating properly.
Manifold Assembly Removal
To remove the manifold (refer to Figure 23.1)
1. Shut off gas and electric supply.
2. Remove the burner side access panel.
3. Disconnect gas manifold at ground union joint.
4. Remove the two screws holding the manifold to the heat
exchanger support.

j Automatic Reset High Limit
The duct furnace comes standard with an automatic reset high limit switch that will shut-off the gas should the discharge air temperature become excessive. See Figure 16.1, indicator p for the location of either the standard automatic or optional manual reset high limit switch. The switch should operate only when something is seriously wrong with the unit operation. Anytime the switch operates, correct the difficulty immediately or serious damage may result. If the switch cuts off the gas supply during normal operation, refer to the “Not Enough Heat” section of Service & Troubleshooting.
