Sequence of operation
With the circuit breakers in the on position and the
blower switch in the auto position. One half of the
control heating element and motor electrical circuit is
activated. When the contacts close in the wall
thermostat 24 volts is supplied by the 240/24 volt
transformer to the sequencer heater. This heats a bi metal in the sequencer which closes a set of contacts
and completes the circuit to the no.1 element and the
blower motor. As the heater continues to build up heat,
the bi-metal closes the remaining circuits to other
elements, until all elements are on. The “off” cycle is
reverse of the “on” cycle the blower and no.1 element
are first on and the last to be de-energized.

Sequencer (Figure 2)
In general all sequencers operate the same way. In
some applications one sequencer may be sufficient
(10 and 12 kw models) in other applications. One two
or more sequencers may be required.
Important: Sequencers should never be mixed. If
different brands of sequencer are used and their timing
may be different.
Testing Sequencer
1. Shut off the power supply to the furnace, there
could be two circuits. Be sure both "A" and "B"
circuits are de-energized.
a.Remove all wires from the sequencer (making
note of wire color and terminal location). The
bi-metal heater portion of the sequencer will be
unmarked and at the bottom, closest to the
mounting plate. The switching portion will be
marked M1 through M8 depending on the
number of switches. Refer to unit wiring
diagram.
b.With an ohmmeter, test for continuity across
the bi-metal heater terminals. There should be
70 to 90 ohms of resistance. If the meter reads
no continuity, the bi-metal heater is open and
must be replaced. The OHMS value should be
70 to 90 across the bi-metal.
Figure 2. Sequencer
c.With an ohmeter check all switches in the
sequencer. They are labled M1-M2, M3M4...refer to Figure 2. All of the switches should
be open and have no continuity.
2. With all power on to furnace, and thermostat
contacts closed: using a voltmeter (set scale for
220 vac.) On contact terminals of sequencer,
check each set of terminals of sequencer, check
each set individually. If you read voltage, contacts
are open. If you do not read voltage, contacts are
closed. Allow a maximum time (110 seconds) for
heater to close contacts. If any of the contacts
remain open after three minutes the sequencer is
defective and should be replaced.

Control Transformer (Figure 3)
All E2 furnaces are equipped with a 30 VA, 240/208
vac primary, 24 vac secondary transformer.
The function of the transformer is to supply the 24
volts for the low voltage circuit which activates the
controls. Note: never replace a transformer with one
of less VA rating: however a higher rated transformer
can replace a lower rated unit. Example: unit has 30
VA replacement can be 40 VA.
Checking Transformer
1. Using a voltmeter, test power supply on the primary
leads of the transformer- must be 240 v +/- 10%.
If less than 226 vac switch black and blue primary
leads.
2. Remove wires from the secondary side of the
transformer. Or find the area where the wires
terminate and remove from component.
3. Use the voltmeter check the output of the
transformer, it should read 22 to 28 volts. If not,
Figure 5. Heating Elements in Furnace
then the transformer is nonfunctional and should
be replaced. Observe the transformer there should
be no distortion in shape, oil residue or odor. If any
of these symptoms exist replace the transformer.
Heating Elements (Figures 4 & 5)
The heating elements used are of modular design
consisting of helical-coiled nichrome resistance wire.
An insulated wire formed assembly supports the heating
elements. All elements are rated at 240 volts. Each
element is individually controlled by a switch of the
sequencing system and is protected by a limit switch.
Figure 3. Transformer
The function of the heating element, of course, is to
heat the air passed across them by the blower system.
Testing Heating Elements (Ohmmeter)
1. Shut off all electric supply to furnace
2. Remove all wires from terminals of heating coils
3. Using the ohmmeter test from terminal to terminal
of the coil-must show continuity-if not replace
element assembly.
4. Using the ohmmeter test from heating element
terminal to ground wire in the control panel, there
should be no continuity. If there is the coil is
grounded and must be replaced.
Caution: Heating elements must always be replaced
by an identical kW replacement. Substitution by higher
kW’s or elements of a different design may result in
unsafe operation of the furnace. Lower kW rated
elements will reduce output and may result in
unsatisfactory operation of the appliance. Refer to
element rating labels and furnace wiring diagrams.

Figure 6. Cooling Relay
Cooling Relay (Figure 6)
The E2EB has a factory installed cooling relay. The
cooling relay operates the air circulator at the high
speed when the relay is energized. The relay is
energized by the low voltage circuit by the g terminal
of the thermostat. At the same time it breaks the circuit
to the heating speed of the air circulator. the cooling
relay has one set of normally closed and one set of
normally open contacts.
Testing Cooling Relay
1. Turn off all power supply to furnace.
a.Remove all wires from cooling relay.
b.Using ohmmeter, test from terminal no. 1 to
terminal no.3 the coil should have resistance of
around 76 ohms. If there is no continuity, the
relay has a open coil and must be replaced.
c.Using ohmmeter, test from terminal no.5 to
terminal no. 6 there should be continuity, if no
continuity is shown relay is defective and must
be replaced.
d. Replace wires on terminal no.1 and 3 restore
power supply.
e. Energize relay by positioning the fan switch on
the thermostat to the fan position. The relay
should click.
f.Using ohmmeter, test terminals 2 and 4 there
should be continuity. If no continuity relay is
defective.
g.Turn off all power to furnace, reconnect all
wires to relay and restore power.
Figure 7. Limits in furnace
The limit device is a safety which can be compared to
a fuse or a breaker in a electrical circuit. The function
of the limit switch is to open the electrical circuit to the
heating elements if over heating should occur. This
could be caused by air circulator failure, dirty filters,
lack of return air, restricted ducts, etc. All limit switches
used are of the automatic reset type. On cool down
they will automatically reset.
Testing the Limit Switches
1. Shut off all electric supply to furnace.
2. Allow enough time for limit to cool down ( 5 to 10
minutes)
3. Remove wires from terminals of limit switches.
Note: all limit switches will be located on the
heating element rack face plate with red wires
attached to them.
4. Using the ohmmeter, test from terminal to terminal
continuity must be read. If no continuity is read
after cool down time, switch is defective and should
be replaced.
Caution: Limit switches must always be replaced by
their identical replacement part, i.e. Same setting, style
limits on the E2 series are either single or double pole
type thermo disc. Under no circumstance should a
limit of a higher setting or of a different type be installed.
Replacement with a lower setting limit may result
cycling of the control and insufficient heat output.
Air Circulation Switch
The air circulation switch is a manual rocker type
switch, single pole double throw, the switch when in the
“auto” position, allows the blower to be activated by the
Limit switches
A limit switch is a heat sensing device utilizing a bimetal disc to open a set of normally, closed contacts.

Checking the Air Circulator Selector Switch
To check the air circulator switch shut of all power to the
furnace. Remove wires from air circulator selector
switch terminals. Check continuity of terminals with the
switch in “on” and “auto” position. See Figure 9 for fan
switch schematic.
Capacitor(See Figure 10):
1. Shut off the electrical supply to the unit.
2. Disconnect he electrical leads to the capacitor.
3. Discharge the capacitor using a 1500 ohm resister.
4. Check the capacitor using a capacitor tester.
Blower Motor (See Figure 11):
1. Shut power off to the furnace.
2. Disconnect the electrical motor leads.
3. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity from each
terminal to the shell of the motor, if there is continuity,
the motor is grounded and should be replaced.
4. Using the ohmmeter, check the resistance across
the motor leads. See diagrams below. Note: the
higher the speed the lower the resistance of the
motor winding.
Air Circulator Motor
The circulator motor and blower wheel combination
move air across the heating elements to supply the
duct system with warm air.
To check the motor, be certain the capacitor is
functional.
