The furnace must be installed on a level surface, and as close to the center of the air distribution system as possible. See Table 3 for overall dimensions to determine the required clear­ances in hallways, doorways, stairs, etc. to allow the furnace to be moved to the installation point. The furnace must be installed so that all electri­cal components are protected from water. Minimum clearances to combustible materials are listed in Table 4. Access for positioning and servicing must be considered when locating the unit. 24 inches is the minimum required clear­ance for servicing the unit. 30 inches is the minimum required clearance for positioning the unit. 36 inches is the recommended clearance from the front of the unit. Please note that a panel or door can be located such that the minimum clearance on the rating plate is satis­fied, but that panel or door must be removable so as to allow the appropriate clearance.
This furnace is certified for use on wood flooring. The furnace must be installed on a solid surface and must be level front to back and side to side. This furnace must not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or any combustible material other than wood flooring.
DOWNFLOW MODEL WARNING
The design of the downflow furnace is certified for natural or propane gas and for installation on non-combustible flooring. A special com­bustible floor sub-base is required when install­ing on a combustible floor. Failure to install the sub-base may result in fire, property damage and personal injury. The special downflow sub­bases are factory supplied accessories, part numbers 902974, 902677, 904108 and 904165. 904165 is an adjustable sub-base kit and it can be used on all cabinet sizes. When the furnace is installed on a factory or site-built cased air conditioning coil, the sub-base is not neces­sary. However, the plenum attached to the coil casing must be installed such that its surfaces are at least 1" from combustible construction.

1. Construct a hole in the floor per the dimensions in Figure 5.
2. Place the plenum and the furnace as shown in Figure 6.
B. Installation on a combustible floor - *TL
1. Cut hole and frame the hole per the dimensions in Figure 7.
2. Place sub-base for combustible floors over the hole with its duct collar extended downward. Attach the supply air plenum to the base in a manner which will assure 1” clearance to the flooring or other com­bustible material. Place furnace on the combustible base as shown in Figure 8.
3. When the furnace is installed on a factory or site-built cased air conditioning coil, the sub-base is not necessary. How­ever, the plenum attached to the coil casing must be installed such that its surfaces are at least 1” from combustible material in Figure 9.
CIRCULATING AIR SUPPLY
Plenums and air ducts must be installed in accordance with the Standard for the Installa­tion of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (NFPA No. 90A) or the Standard for the Instal­lation of Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems (NFPA No. 90B).
Page 11
If outside air is utilized as return air to the furnace for ventilation or to improve indoor air quality, the system must be designed so that the return air to the furnace is not less than 50°F (10°C) during heating operation. If a combination of indoor and outdoor air is used, the ducts and damper system must be designed so that the return air supply to the furnace is equal to the return air supply under normal, indoor return air applications.
When a cooling system is installed which uses the furnace blower to provide airflow over the indoor coil, the coil must be installed down­stream (on the outlet side) or in parallel with the furnace.
If a cooling system is installed in parallel with the furnace, a damper must be installed to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace and con­densing on the heat exchanger. If a manually operated damper is installed, it must be de­signed so that operation of the furnace is pre­vented when the damper is in the cooling posi­tion and operation of the cooling system is prevented when the damper is in the heating position.
!
IMPORTANT:
The variable speed blower kit has been designed to give the installer maxi­mum flexibility to optimize system per­formance, efficiency, and comfort. Because there are so many ways to configure the kit it is important to read and follow these instructions carefully.

Products of combustion must not be allowed to enter the return air ductwork or the circulating air supply. 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.
All return ductwork must be secured to the furnace with sheet metal screws. For installations in confined spaces, all return ductwork must be adequately sealed and joints must be taped. When return air is provided through the bottom of the furnace, the joint between the furnace and the return air plenum must be sealed.
The floor or platform on which the furnace is mounted must provide sound physical support of the furnace with no gaps, cracks, or sagging between the furnace and the floor or platform.
Return air and circulating air ductwork must not be connected to any other heat producing device such as a fireplace insert, stove, etc.

The heating airflow is selected by setting switches 5 and 6 on the motor control board located in the blower control panel. Note that switch 7 is not used for heating or cooling in these furnaces. Therefore, switch 7 can be either “on” or “off” without affecting the operation of the furnace. Table 1 shows the airflow values versus the airflow selector switch settings, and the range of airflow settings recommended for each heating capacity.

Determining Nominal AC System Capacity
In order to select the appropriate airflow for AC operation the nominal system capacity must be known. The nominal system capacity is ALWAYS the nominal capacity of the outdoor unit. In some cases the nominal system capacity is not the same as the nominal capacity of the indoor coil.
NOTE: The airflow values (CFM) listed in the tables are not dependent on duct static pres­sure. The motor automatically compensates for changes in duct static pressure (within the limits of the motor).
VENTING AND COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS
These condensing furnaces may be installed with outdoor combustion air piped directly to the furnace, or without such special piping. Codes refer to the former as "direct vent" or "two pipe" installation. Installation with air taken from around the furnace is sometimes referred to as "one pipe" installation - i.e. only the vent (ex­haust) pipe is provided.
Provisions must be made for adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation. For United States installations, the adequacy of air provi­sions can be determined by consulting the cur­rent version of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1/NPFA-54). For Canadian installations, requirements are specified in the National Stan­dard of Canada (CAN/CGA B149.1 & .2). Consult local codes for special requirements.
NOTE: In order to change the speed settings for heating or cooling, power to the unit must be disconnected before the new speed will be effective.
Selecting the AC Cooling Airflow
The cooling airflow is selected by setting switches 1 through 4 on the motor control board located in the blower control panel. Table 1 shows the airflow values versus the airflow selector switch settings, and the range of airflow settings recommended for each nominal system capacity.
An important consideration in selecting one or two pipe installation is the quality of the combus­tion air. Indoor air is sometimes contaminated with various household chemicals which can cause severe corrosion in the furnace combus­tion system.
NOTE: If the furnace is operated without ad­equate air for combustion and ventilation, it may not perform properly. Furnace components may be strained by high temperature and could fail prematurely.

WARNING:
Furnace installation using methods other than those described in the fol­lowing sections must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code and all appli­cable local codes to provide sufficient combustion air for the furnace.
Combustion Air Quality
The recommended source of combustion air is to use the outdoor air supply. However, the use of indoor air in most applications is acceptable except as follows:
1. If the furnace is installed in a confined space it is recommended that the necessary com­bustion air come from the outdoors by way of attic, crawl space, air duct, or direct opening.
2. If outdoor combustion air is used, there must be no exposure to the installations or substances listed in Item 3 below.
3. The following types of installation may re­quire Outdoor Air for combustion, due to chemical exposures:
• Commercial buildings
• Buildings with indoor pools
• Furnaces installed in laundry rooms
• Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms
• Furnaces installed near chemical stor­age areas
Exposure to the following substances in the combustion air supply may also require Outdoor Air for combustion:
• Permanent wave solutions
• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
• Chlorine based swimming pool chemi­cals
• Water softening chemicals
• De-icing salts or chemicals
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Halogen type refrigerants
• Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroet­hylene)
• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloric acid
• Cements and glues
• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dry­ers
• Masonry acid washing materials
14
Air Requirements For One-Pipe Installation
When air for combustion is to be taken from around the furnace, a protective screen must be installed over the combustion air intake opening. This screen is provided with the furnace instal­lation instructions and functions to prevent de­bris from entering the combustion system. It should be installed on the combustion air intake collar or inlet PVC. If furnace location is such that this opening might be unintentionally obstructed, a 3" PVC elbow should be installed on the collar, and the screen placed inside the inlet of the elbow. See Figure 10.
Installation In An Unconfined Space
!
CAUTION:
"Tight" buildings (with weather strip­ping and caulk to reduce infiltration), may require special provisions for in­troduction of outside air to ensure satisfactory combustion and venting, even though the furnace is located in an unconfined space.
An unconfined space is an area including all rooms not separated by doors with a volume greater than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of all appliances which draw combustion air from that space. For example, a space including a water heater rated at 45,000 Btuh and a furnace rated at 75,000 Btuh requires a volume of 6,000 cubic feet [50 x (45 + 75) = 6,000] to be considered unconfined. If the space has an 8 foot ceiling, the floor area of the space must be 750 square feet (6,000 / 8 = 750). In general, a furnace installed in an unconfined space will not require outside air for combustion.
!
WARNING:
Furnaces installed with combustion air drawn from a heated space which in­cludes exhaust fans, fireplaces, or other devices that may produce a nega­tive pressure should be considered confined space installations.
Installation In A Confined Space
A confined space is one which does not meet the unconfined space volume requirements, and
Page 15
typically involves installation in a small room. All such installations must have specific provisions for introduction of combustion and ventilation air.
Codes require that two openings be pro­vided for this - one with bottom edge within 12" of the floor and one with top edge within 12" of the ceiling.
The size and other criteria for these
openings must be per the following sections.
Combustion air openings must not be restricted in any manner.
Furnaces installed in a confined space which supply circulating air to areas outside of the space must draw return air from outside the space and must have return air ducts tightly sealed to the furnace.
Air From Inside
Air for combustion and ventilation may be taken from inside the building through an interior wall
if the building is not "tight" and if the total volume of the furnace space and the space from which air is drawn meets the volume requirements for an unconfined space.
In such cases, the two openings in the wall must each have free area of at least one square inch per 1000 Btuh of
total
appliance input, but not less than 100 square inches of free area. See Figure 11. For example, if the combined input rate of all appliances is less than or equal to 100,000 Btuh,
each
opening
must have a free area of at least 100 square
inches. If the combined input rate of all appli­ances is 120,000 Btuh,
each
opening must have
a free area of at least 120 square inches.
Air Directly Through An Exterior Wall
If combustion air is provided directly through an exterior wall, the two openings must
each
have free area of at least one square inch per 4000 Btuh of
total
appliance input. (See Figure 12.)
Outdoor Air Through Vertical Openings or Ducts
If combustion air is provided through vertical ducts or openings to attics or crawl spaces, the two openings must each have free area of at least one square inch per 4000 Btuh of total appliance input. Ducts must have cross-sec­tional areas at least as large as the free area of their respective openings to the furnace space. Attics or crawl spaces must communicate freely with the outdoors if they are the source of air for combustion and ventilation. (See Figures 13 and 14.)
Outdoor Air Through Horizontal Openings or Ducts
If combustion air is taken from outdoors through horizontal ducts, the openings must
each
have free area of at least one square inch per 2000 Btuh of total appliance input. Ducts must have cross-sectional area at least as large as the free area of their respective openings to the furnace space. (See Figure 15.)

"Category IV" appliances, which require special venting materials and installation procedures. Category IV appliances operate with positive vent pressure and therefore require vent sys­tems which are thoroughly sealed. They also produce combustion condensate, which is slightly acidic and can cause severe corrosion
of ordinary venting materials. Furnace opera­tion can be adversely affected by restrictive vent and combustion air piping. Therefore,
vent and combustion air piping lengths must conform completely to the requirements of Table 4.

WARNING:
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
HAZARD
Vent Pipe Material
Vent and combustion air pipe and fittings must be one of the following materials and must conform to the indicated ANSI/ASTM stan­dards:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the CAN/CGA B149 Instal­lation Codes and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. So far as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building.
4. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continuously.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any other appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6. Close fireplace dampers.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliance at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with the
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
or
CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and
National Fuel
and/
Propane Installation Codes.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

Vent Pipe Length and Diameter
In order for the furnace to operate properly, the combustion air and vent piping must not be exces­sively restrictive. To ensure this use Table 4, which indicates the maximum allowable piping length for a furnace of specified input rate, when installed with piping of selected diameter and number of elbows. This table applies to the length and number of elbows for each pipe. To use the table, the furnace input rate, the centerline length and the number of elbows on each pipe must be known. Choose the diameter for which the tabu­lated length is equal to or greater than required.

Proper use of the table is illustrated by the following example:
Example:
A 110,000 Btu/h furnace is to be installed in a "one-pipe" system with 40 feet of vent piping. There are a total of four long radius 90-degree elbows used in the vent, including the one exterior to the building.
Solution:
For this particular installation, the equivalent vent length must be calculated. This equivalent vent length will then be compared to the maxi­mum allowable vent length given in Table 4. Then, the diameter of the piping can be chosen for which the equivalent vent length is less than the maximum allowable vent length. Returning to our example, we consult Table 4 and deter­mine that for a 110,000 Btu/h furnace the maxi­mum vent length for 3" diameter piping is 100 feet. Note that the maximum vent length given in Table 4 includes one long radius elbow. Therefore, for our example, we have three additional long radius elbows for which we must add to our piping. Each long radius elbow is equivalent to 2.5 feet, so we must add 7.5 feet to our vent length. Therefore, the equivalent vent length for our installation is 47.5 feet. We compare this with the maximum vent length for 3” diameter piping. Our equivalent vent length is less than the maximum allowable vent length, so for our “one-pipe” installation we can use 3” diameter piping.
Condensing furnace combustion products have very little buoyancy, so Table 4 is to be used without consideration of any vertical rise in the piping.
Vent Pipe Installation
Pipe Routing and Support
Route piping as directly as possible between the furnace and the outdoors and remember that routing affects pipe size requirements per the preceding section. If a two pipe system is used, locate the combustion air intake and the vent exhaust in the same atmospheric pressure zone - i.e. both must exit the building though the same portion of exterior wall or roof. Vent piping must be sloped upwards not less than 1/4” per foot in the direction from the furnace to the terminal. This is to ensure that any condensate
flows back to the furnace (where it can be disposed of through the condensate disposal system).
The quality of outdoor air must also be consid­ered. Be sure that the combustion air intake is not located near a source of solvent fumes or other chemicals which can cause corrosion of the furnace combustion system.
!
CAUTION:
Combustion air must not be drawn from a corrosive atmosphere.
Piping must be mechanically supported so that its weight does not bear on the furnace. Sup­ports must be at intervals no greater than five feet, and at smaller intervals if necessary to ensure that there are no sagging sections to trap water. (See Figures 16 and 17.) It is recom­mended to install couplings along the vent pipe, on either side of the exterior wall. These cou­plings may be required by local code.
Figure 18 illustrates vent and combustion air pipe sizes exiting the furnace. Transition to the correct pipe size (i.e. from 2” to 3” diameter) must be done close to the furnace so that the full length of pipe is of proper size.
Straight neoprene couplings are supplied with the downflow furnaces only. These couplings are to be installed in the combustion air inlet (if present) and exhaust vent piping at the furnace as shown in Figure 16. For an upflow furnace installation, if breakable connections are re­quired in the combustion air inlet (if present) and exhaust vent piping, then straight neoprene couplings for 3” piping with hose clamps can be used. These couplings can be ordered through your local furnace distributor.
To install a coupling, slide the rubber coupling over the end of the pipe that is attached to the furnace and secure it with one of the hose clamps. Then slide the other end of the rubber coupling onto the other pipe from the vent and secure the coupling with the second hose clamp. For the upflow models, the combustion air pipe can be attached to the furnace. Ensure that the connection is tight and leak free.

Page 22
These condensing furnaces have been certi­fied for installation with zero clearance between vent piping and combustible surfaces. How­ever, it is good practice to allow space for convenience in installation and service.
Location of Outdoor Terminations
Horizontal Venting
Vent and combustion air intake terminations must be as shown in Figure 21. Vent termination clearances shall be consistent with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas & Propane Instal­lation code.
All minimum clearances specified must be main­tained to protect building materials from degra­dation by flue gases.
Vent and combustion air intake terminations must be located to ensure proper furnace op­eration and to conform to applicable codes. Figure 19 illustrates necessary distances from the vent termination to windows and building air intakes. In Canada, the Canadian Fuel Gas
Code takes precedence over these instruc­tions. Specifically, all minimum distance requirements with respect to termination of the vent piping listed below (items 1 through
8).
The following list is a summary of vent terminal location requirements:
1. The termination must be 12 inches above snow level or grade level whichever is higher. See Figure 20 for alternate method to achieve 12" above snow level.
2. The minimum distance for a (1-pipe instal­lation) from any door, (openable) window, or gravity air inlet is 4 ft. below, 4 ft. horizon­tally, or 1 ft. above.
3. The minimum distance for a direct vent (2­pipe installation) from any door, (openable) window, or air gravity inlet is 1 ft. below, 1 ft. horizontally, or 1 ft. above.
4. For one-pipe installations the recommended minimum distance from an inside corner formed by two exterior walls is 6 feet, but is not required.
5. The vent termination for a 1-pipe installation shall be a minimum of 3 ft. above any forced air inlet within 10 ft.
6. The vent termination shall be located at least 4 ft. horizontally from any electric meter, gas meter, regulator and any relief equipment. These distances apply ONLY to U.S. installations. In Canada, the Cana­dian Fuel Gas Code takes precedence.
7. Avoid areas where condensate drainage may cause problems by dropping on plant­ers or patios, etc. Also ensure that exhaust gases will not impinge on windows or build­ing surfaces, which may be compromised or damaged by condensation. Do not install the vent terminal such that exhaust is directed into window wells, stairwells, un­der decks or into alcoves or similar re­cessed areas, and do not terminate above any public walkways.
8. Select the point of wall penetration where the minimum 1/4 inch per foot of slope up can be maintained.

For Canadian installations please refer to the Canadian Installation Code (CAN/CGA-B149.1 or 2) and/or local codes. The kit consists of two face plates and an insulating gasket to seal the exterior surface. A hole sized closely to the pipe diameter must first be cut through the wall. A short length of pipe is then cut such that it can penetrate the wall and be held in place by closely fitting standard couplings. The face plates are retained on both sides of the wall by the couplings, and the gasket is retained against the wall by the outer face plate. Face plates must be fastened to the wall and the outside one must be flashed as appro­priate to prevent entry of water.
Figure 22. Vertical Vent Termination
!
CAUTION:
For optimum performance, vent fur­nace through wall which experiences the least exposure to winter winds.
!
WARNING:
Ensure that the combustion air vent and the exhaust vent are configured as shown in Figure 21. Improper vent termination can cause recirculation of the flue gases. This may result in fur­nace vibration. In severe cases, the furnace will cycle due to the intermit­tent contact between the flame and the flame sensor. If you note oscillations occurring, check the vent configura­tion. Make sure that the exhaust vent does not have a 90 degree termination.
When the above kits are not used the following steps are required:
1. Check the hole size cut through the exterior wall. Insure that the hole diameter is less than the diameter of the couplings to be used.
2. Extend the vent pipe through the wall ap­proximately 1" and seal the area between the wall and pipe.
3. If required by local code, apply couplings to the vent pipe on the interior and exterior sides of the wall to insure the pipe can not be pushed or pulled through the wall.
4. Insure the combustion air inlet pipe (for a 2 pipe installation) has a 90 degree termina­tion elbow as shown in Figures 21 and 22.
Note: A combustion air intake must be pro­vided with an elbow opening downward. The screen provided with the furnace can be in­stalled in the elbow to prevent entry of debris or creatures.
When the vent pipe must exit an exterior wall close to the grade or expected snow level, a riser should be provided as shown in Figure 20.

Table 5. Vent Protection
Table 5 describes the maximum length of flue pipe that can travel through an unconditioned space or an exterior space. The total vent length must not exceed the lengths noted on Table 5.
Vertical Venting
Figure 22 shows the proper installation and clear­ances for vertical vent termination. The roof pen­etration must be properly flashed and waterproofed with a plumbing roof boot or equivalent flashing. Termination spacing requirements from the roof and from each other must be per Figure 22.
Vent and combustion air piping may be installed in an existing chimney which is not in use provided that:
a. Both the exhaust vent and air intake run
the length of the chimney.
b. The top of the chimney is sealed and
weatherproofed.
c. The termination clearances shown in
Figure 22 are maintained.
d. No other gas fired or fuel burning
appliances are vented through the chimney.
Vent Freezing Protection
When the vent pipe is exposed to temperatures below freezing, i.e., when it passes through unheated spaces, chimneys, etc., the pipe must be insulated with 1/2 inch thick sponge rubber insulation, Armaflex-type insulation or equiva­lent. Insulating pipe is important to avoid con­densate icing.
For extremely cold climates or for conditions of short furnace cycles (i.e. set back thermostat conditions) the last three feet of vent pipe can be reduced one nominal pipe size provided that the total vent length is at least 15 feet in length and the vent is sized in accordance with the venting requirements (Table 4) before this reduction is applied. (Example: 3” to 2-1/2”) Smaller vent pipes are less susceptible to freezing, but must not be excessively restrictive.
Concentric Vent Termination
A concentric vent termination is approved for use with these furnaces. The kit part number is
904176. For proper installation of the concentric vent termination, follow the installation instruc­tions provided with that kit.

DRAINAGE OF CONDENSATE FROM FURNACE
The condensate drainage system is internal to the furnace. It is not recommended to connect additional traps to the exterior of the furnace. Doing so will have adverse effects on the opera­tion of the furnace. The drain may exit either the right or left side of the furnace cabinet.
The condensate drain can be routed to a flow drain or to a condensate pump. Ensure that the drain maintains a downward slope from the unit to the drain. Refer to Figure 23 for more details.
For a right side drain simply extend the tubing out of the hole in the cabinet, see Figure 23. For a left side drain follow the steps below:
1. Loosen the clamp on the soft exit tube (see Figure 23.)
2. Rotate the soft exit tube (counter clock­wise, 180° upflow models; clockwise 90° downflow models.)
3. Re-tighten the clamp. MAKE SURE CLAMP IS TIGHT TO AVOID LEAKAGE OF CON­DENSATE.
4. Route the tubing out of the hole located 8 inches up from the bottom furnace.
The condensate should drain from the plastic collector box (location A in Figure 23) as droplets or a small stream. If you notice the furnace has operated for more than 5 minutes without drain­ing or the red status light on the control board is pulsing a 2-blink code follow the steps below.
1. Remove the collector box soft tube at location A in Figure 23 and insure the exit from the collector box is clear of any debris or obstructions.
2. Replace this tube and insure the fit to the header spout is air tight. Air will be drawn into the header if this connection is not tight.
3. Check other tube connections along the drain system. Insure that all are air tight.
NOTE: Industry research studies indicate that when condensate is routed to an active drain, household detergents, etc., buffer its acidity. If the drain is not actively used or if codes require, obtain a neutralizer kit NORDYNE part no. 902373 (usually contains limestone). Proper drains and connections to the condensate tub­ing are required as NORDYNE cannot be held responsible for water leakage which occurs due to loose hose connections or improperly sealed drain line pipes.
GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING
This furnace is equipped for either left or right side gas entry. Typical gas service hook-ups are shown in Figure 24a. When making the gas connection provide clearance between the gas supply line and the entry hole in the furnace casing to avoid unwanted noise and/or damage to the furnace.
All gas piping must be installed in compliance with local codes and utility regulations. Some local regulations require the installation of a manual main shut-off valve and ground joint union external to the furnace. The shut-off valve
25
Page 26
should be readily accessible for service and/or
(

(
)
emergency use. Consult the local utility or gas supplier for additional requirements regarding placement of the manual main gas shut-off. In the absence of local codes the gas line installa­tion must comply with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1) or (CAN/CGA B149) installation codes.
An 1/8" NPT plugged tap must be installed in the gas line to the unit for use when measuring the gas supply pressure. The plug should be readily accessible for service use. A drip leg should be installed in the vertical pipe run to the unit. Table 6 lists gas flow capacities for standard pipe sizes as a function of length in typical applica­tions based on nominal pressure drop in the line.

NOTE: Gas piping must not be run in or through air ducts, chimneys, gas vents, elevator shafts, etc.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the actions of lique­fied petroleum gases.
The main manual gas valve and main power disconnect to the furnace must be properly labeled by the installer in case emergency shutdown is required.

Leak Check
After the gas piping to the furnace is complete, all connections must be tested for gas leaks.
!
WARNING:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially available soap solution made specifically for the detection of leaks to check all connec­tions. A fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When pressure testing gas supply lines at pressures greater than 1/2 psig (14 in. water column), the furnace must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system to prevent damage to the gas control valve. If the test pressure is less than or equal to 1/2 psig (14 in. water column), the furnace must be isolated from the gas sup­ply line by closing the manual shut-off valve.
MANIFOLD PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Manifold pressures for low and high stages are independently adjustable. Adjustment tap locations on the valve are shown in Figure 24b. Manifold pressure would be adjusted below procedure:
- Turn off gas shut off valve outside furnace.
- Install manometer on the gas valve at the outlet pressure tap.
- Turn on the shut off. Run furnace at high fire and set manifold pressure. Also set manifold pressure while running at low fire (refer to Tables 7 and 8.)
- Ensure plug is tight after removing manometer.

Conversion
Conversion of this furnace to use LP/propane gas must be made by qualified service personnel, using only approved parts.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When converting a low NOx furnace from Natural Gas to LP/Propane Gas, it is necessary to remove the NOx
baffles from the furnace.
HIGH ALTITUDE CONVERSION High Altitude Application
Conversion of this furnace to replace the pressure switch or to utilize LP/propane gas must be made by qualified service personnel, using factory authorized or approved parts. High altitude applications with this furnace can be field performed by a simple adjustment of manifold pressure, and if necessary changing the orifices and the vent pressure switch. The changes required depend on the installation altitude and the heating value of the gas. The gas heating value based on sea level can be obtained from your local gas utility. The heating value of gas at high altitude is always lower than the sea level heating value. The heating values used in Tables 7 & 8 are based on sea level values.
Pressure Switch Conversion for High Altitude Applications
These units are factory equipped to operate between zero and 8000 feet above sea level. For higher altitude applications, you may need to replace the vent pressure switch in addition to the main gas burner orifices. The approved high altitude pressure switch kit is 903852. The directions to convert the furnace are given below:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE CONVERSION.
2. Disconnect all electrical power to the fur­nace.
3. Remove the access door(s) from the front of the unit.
4. Turn the gas valve knob to the OFF posi­tion.
5. Shut off the gas to the unit.
6. The vent pressure switch will be replaced (see Figure 30). This pressure switch is the differential pressure switch between the burner box and the vent assembly. If necessary, mark the two hoses that attach to the pressure switch.
7. Disconnect the electrical leads to the pres­sure switch. It is not necessary to mark the electrical leads as polarity does not matter across the switch.
8. Remove both hoses from the pressure switch and remove the fasteners that se­cure the pressure switch to the panel.
9. Discard the old pressure switch.
10. From the kit, install the new high altitude pressure switch using the same fasteners that were removed earlier.
11. Reattach the hoses to the pressure switch ports in the same manner as they were removed.
12. Reattach the electrical leads to the pres­sure switch.
13. Turn on the electrical power to the furnace.
14. Turn the gas valve knob to the ON position.
15. Follow the start-up procedure outlined later in these installation instructions. Verify that the furnace is operating properly after the conversion.

Line Voltage Wiring
The line voltage (115 volt) to the furnace must be supplied from a dedicated branch circuit containing the correct fuse or circuit breaker for the furnace. See Table 11. An electrical switch should be readily accessible from and within sight of the furnace. (See the Wiring Diagram label in the furnace and Figure 25.)
NOTE: The following procedure describes how to connect the furnace for a two-stage application.
Low Voltage Wiring
Staging Configurations
These furnaces are factory configured to oper­ate on high fire only, but can be field converted to operate as two-stage furnaces.
The furnace cabinet must have an uninter­rupted, unbroken ground to minimize injury should an electrical fault condition occur. The controls used in this furnace require an earth ground to operate properly. Acceptable meth­ods for grounding are electrical wire or conduit approved for electrical ground service. Do not use gas piping as an electrical ground.
NOTE: Proper line voltage polarity must be maintained in order for the control system to operate correctly. Verify that the incom­ing neutral line is connected to the white wire and the incoming "hot" line is con­nected to the black wire in the junction box. These furnaces will not operate unless po­larity and ground are properly connected. See Figure 25.

CAUTION:
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation af­ter servicing.
NOTE: T

Two stage heating thermostat configura­tion
– For this installation a two stage
heating thermostat is used. CAUTION: Disconnect yellow wire with black stripe from low firing on the gas valve. Remove female connector from yellow/black wire and strip insulation from end. Connect stripped yellow wire with black stripe to (W2) from the thermostat. (See Figure 26a). The first stage bulb (W1) is connected to W on the furnace control board. On a call for first stage heat, the furnace will operate at low fire and the blower will run at a lower speed. On a call for second stage heat, the furnace will operate at high fire and the blower will run at a higher speed. The furnace will stage between low fire, high fire, and off depending on the thermostat signal.

Low fire only configuration
3.
– For this instal­lation, the high terminal is disconnected (See Figure 26c). This defeats the staging feature and the furnace operates on low fire only. The furnace will run at reduced firing rate and the variable speed blower will operate at a lower speed.
4.
Outdoor ambient dependent configuration
– For this installation, low and high terminals are connected in parallel with an outdoor thermostat (open on rise style) in series with the high terminal (See Figure 26d). CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT W2 from outdoor thermostat to the furnace wiring when using the outdoor ambient dependent configuration. When the outdoor tempera­ture is above the set point, the outdoor thermostat opens keeping the high terminal open. The furnace operates in the low fire mode at a lower blower speed. When the outdoor thermostat closes, the high fire on gas valve opens and the furnace operates in the high fire mode at higher blower speed.
5.
Timed staging configuration
– For this in­stallation, the low and high fire on the gas valves are connected in parallel with a delay on make timer (two wire style) in series with the secondary gas valve (See Figure 26e). CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT W2 from thermostat to the furnace wiring when using timed stage configuration. When the low fire on the gas valve is energized, the furnace operates in the low fire mode at a lower blower speed and the timer begins its delay function. If the room thermostat is not sat­isfied before the timer activates, the fur­nace will stage to high fire and the blower will operate at a higher speed until the room thermostat is satisfied.
6.
Two Stage Cooling
– The furnace is sup­plied with the yellow “Y1” and blue “Y2” connections attached to the control board. Connect a field supplied wire from the yellow “Y1” to the thermostat and the con­densing unit, and another wire connected from “Y2” on the thermostat to “Y2” on the condenser. (See Figure 27.)
Install the thermostat per the manufacturer's instructions. The low voltage (24 volt) connec­tions from the thermostat are made at the terminal strip on the control board in the fur­nace. See Figures 26a-26e for the proper connections for heating only (four wire) and heating/cooling (five wire) applications. The recommended minimum wire gauge for ther­mostat wiring is shown in Table 11.
The thermostat must not be installed on an outside wall or any other location where its operation may be adversely affected. Adverse affects include radiant loading from fireplaces, sunlight, or lighting fixtures, and convective load­ing from warm air registers or electrical appli­ances.
To check the heat anticipator setting either:
1. Add the current draw of the system compo­nents; or
2. Measure the current flow on the thermostat R-W circuit after the circulating blower motor has started.
Set the heat anticipator according to the thermo­stat manufacturer's instructions for heat antici­pator settings.
START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS
Prior to start-up, verify that:
1. The line voltage power leads are securely connected, that the polarity of the connec­tions is correct, and that the furnace is properly grounded.

2. The thermostat wires (R, W, Y, and G) are securely connected to the correct leads on the terminal strip of the circuit board.
3. The gas line service pressure does not exceed 10.0 in. water column (0.36 psig), and is not less than 4.5 in. water column (0.16 psig) for natural gas. For LP gas the line service pressure must not exceed 14 in. water column (0.51 psig), and must not be less than 11.0 in. W.C. (0.40 psig).
4. The roll-out and vent safety manual reset switches are closed. If necessary, press the red button to reset a switch. See Figure 30 for location. DO NOT install a jumper wire across a switch to defeat its function. If a switch reopens on start-up, DO NOT reset the switch without identifying and correcting the fault condition which caused the switch to trip.
5. The blower door is in place, closing the door switch in the line voltage circuit.
6. The gas line has been purged and all connections are leak tight.
Follow the procedure below to determine the firing rate.
1. Shut off all other gas fired appliances.
2. Start the furnace and allow it to run for at least three minutes.
3. Measure the time (in seconds) required for the gas meter to complete one revolution.
4. Convert the time per revolution to cubic feet of gas per hour using Table 12.
5. Multiply the gas flow rate in cubic feet per hour by the heating value of the gas in Btu per cubic foot to obtain the firing rate in Btu per hour. Example:
Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with a 1 cubic foot dial = 40 seconds.
From Table 11 read 90 cubic feet per hour of gas.
Heating value of the gas (obtained from gas supplier) = 1040 Btu per cubic foot.
Firing rate = 1040 x 90 = 93,600 Btuh.
Start-up Procedures
After all of the above checks have been made:
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2. Close the disconnect(s) to provide line voltage to the furnace.
3. Follow the procedures given on the operat­ing instruction label attached to the furnace.
4. Set the thermostat above room tempera­ture and verify the operating sequence. (See the Sequence of Operation).
5. After the furnace has run for approximately five minutes, set the thermostat below room temperature and verify steps (9) through (11) of the Sequence of Operation.
Verifying and Adjusting Firing Rate
The firing rate must be verified for each instal­lation to prevent over-firing the furnace.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The firing rate must not exceed the rate shown on the furnace rating plate. At alti­tudes above 2000 feet it must not exceed that on the rating plate less 4% for each 1000 feet.
6. Adjustments to the firing rate can be made by adjusting the gas manifold pressure. See the High Altitude Application section for additional information of firing rate at eleva­tions above 2000 ft.
The manifold pressure must be set to the appropriate value for your installation. Refer to either Table 7 for natural gas or Table 8 for LP/ propane gas to verify the manifold pressure setting required for your particular installation. To adjust the manifold pressure, remove the regulator cap and turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase pressure or counter­clockwise to reduce pressure. Replace the regulator cap after adjustments are complete.
!
CAUTION:
Do not re-drill the burner orifices. If the orifice size must be changed, use only new orifices.

WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, personal in­jury, or death, disconnect the electric power before performing any mainte­nance.
Configuring the Blower
The variable speed blower kit is equipped with a microprocessor-controlled variable speed motor that is pre-programmed to deliver opti­mum airflow in a variety of conditions and system configurations. Before operation, the variable speed blower kit must be configured to match the unit with the system, system options, and climatic conditions. With the vari­able speed blower kit installed and configured properly, the furnace will respond directly to gradually change speed in response to changes in system variables such as the thermostat settings, duct static, filter, etc. The variable speed blower kit is configured by setting the 7 switches located on the motor control board as described below.
must be known. The nominal system capacity is ALWAYS the nominal capacity of the outdoor unit. In some cases the nominal system capac­ity is not the same as the nominal capacity of the indoor coil.
The cooling/heat pump airflow is selected by setting switches 1 through 4 on the motor control board located in the blower control panel. All airflows for other modes of operation (except gas heat) are determined by this setting. Table 1 shows the airflow values versus the airflow selector switch settings, and the range of airflow settings recommended for each nominal sys­tem capacity.
NOTE: The CFM values listed on Table 2 are not dependent on duct static pressure. The motor automatically compensates for changes in duct static pressure (within the limits of the motor).
For maximum capacity and energy efficiency, generally, a selection at or near the top of the CFM range for that nominal capacity is best. For maximum dehumidification, select an airflow near the middle or bottom of the CFM range for that nominal capacity.
!
IMPORTANT:
The variable speed blower kit has been designed to give the installer maxi­mum flexibility to optimize system per­formance, efficiency, and comfort. Because there are so many ways to configure the kit it is important to read and follow these instructions carefully.
Selecting Heat Airflow
The heating airflow is selected by setting switches 5, 6 , and 7. Refer to Table 1a and select a nominal rise based on the furnace nominal efficiency and input. Follow the table column up to find the switch setting and nominal air-flow. Be sure that the selected rise is within the specification of the furnace as shown on the furnace rating label. For single stage cooling, reference the CFM in the high column.
Selecting The Cooling/Heat Pump Airflow
In order to select the appropriate airflow for AC and HP operation the nominal system capacity
NOTE: If coil icing is observed, the cooling/ heat pump airflow selected may be too low. Double-check to be sure the setting se­lected is within the range shown in Table 1. Also check to be sure the system is properly charged (see outdoor unit installation in­structions). If icing continues to occur, raise the selected airflow one or two steps.
Verifying and Adjusting Temperature Rise
Verify that the temperature rise through the furnace is within the range specified on the furnace rating plate. Temperature rises outside the specified range could result in premature heat exchanger failure.
Place thermometers in the return and supply air stream as close to the furnace as possible. The thermometer on the supply air side must be shielded from direct radiation from the heat exchanger to avoid false readings. Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired position and run the furnace for fifteen minutes before taking any temperature readings. The temperature rise is the difference between the supply and return air temperatures.

Verifying Burner Operation
To verify operation of the burners, make sure that the blower compartment door is in place and that there is power to the furnace. Set the thermostat above room temperature and ob­serve the ignition sequence. The flame can be observed through the small clear window on the burner box. The burner flame should carry over between all burners on high fire. Note that when operating on low fire, the left two burners will not operate on upflow models and the right two burners on downflow models. The flames should be blue, without yellow tips. Flames should extend from each burner without lifting, curling, or floating. After verifying ignition, set the ther­mostat below room temperature and verify that the burner flame extinguishes completely.
Verifying Operation of the Supply Air Limit Switch
To verify operation of the supply air limit switch, make sure that the blower door is in place and that there is power to the furnace. Completely block the return airflow to the furnace by installing a close-off plate in place of or upstream of the filter(s). Set the thermostat above room tempera-
ture and verify that the Sequence of Operation is as described in these instructions. The supply air limit switch should function to turn off the gas valve within approximately five minutes. The circulating air and combustion blowers should continue to run when the supply air limit switch opens. Remove the close-off plate immediately after the supply air limit switch opens. If the furnace operates for more than five minutes with no return air, set the thermostat below room temperature, shut off the power to the furnace, and replace the supply air limit switch.
DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
Figure 30 shows the location of each of the functional components described below. If any component of the furnace must be re­placed, use only factory authorized replace­ment parts. See the Replacement Parts List for each component.
Flame Sensor – The flame sensor acts to prove that flame has carried over from the igniter to the opposite end burner. If no flame is sensed, the furnace will be shut down automatically.
37
Page 38
Primary Gas Valve – The gas valve controls the flow of gas to all of the burners. When the gas valve is energized it automatically opens and regulates the gas pressure in the manifold.
Secondary Gas Valve – The gas valve controls the flow of gas to the high fire burners only.
MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that the furnace be checked yearly. At a minimum, this check should include the following items.
Pressure Switch – The pressure switch veri­fies that the inducer is drawing the combustion gases through the heat exchanger. It also senses a blocked condensate drain condition.
Vent Pressure Switch – The vent pressure switch reacts to blockage in the vent or combus­tion air piping.
Supply Air Limit Switch – The supply air limit switch prevents the air temperature leaving the furnace from exceeding the maximum outlet air temperature.
Vent Safety Switch – The vent safety switch shuts the furnace down if the outlet flue gas temperature increases above 160°F. This switch protects the plastic flue system and the inducer from over-temperature conditions.
Flame Roll-Out Switch – This switch provides flame roll-out protection to the furnace and combustion air inlet pipe.
!
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect the electric power before performing any maintenance.
!
WARNING:
Holes in the vent pipe or heat exchanger can cause products of combustion to enter the home. Replace the vent pipe or heat exchanger if leaks are found. 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.

Combustion Air and Vent System
Check the combustion air and vent pipe to ensure that it is not damaged, corroded or blocked by debris. Any damaged section of vent pipe must be replaced, and any obstruction or blockage must be removed prior to operating the furnace.
Air Filter(s)
!
WARNING:
Heat Exchanger and Burner Maintenance
The furnace should operate for many years without excessive soot buildup in the flue pas­sageways, however, the flue passageways, the vent system, and the burners should be in­spected and cleaned (if required) by a qualified serviceman annually to ensure continued safe operation. Particular attention must be given to identify deterioration from corrosion or other sources.
Never operate the furnace without a filter in place. Dust and lint in the return air can build up on internal components, resulting in loss of efficiency, equip­ment damage, and possible fire.
Air filter(s) are not supplied with the furnace as shipped from the factory. Filters for side return and bottom return applications are available from your local distributor.
The installer should provide a filter rack for a high velocity type filter in the return air duct adjacent to the furnace. Filters should be changed or cleaned monthly during the heating season. New or newly renovated homes may require more frequent changing until the construction dust has been removed.
Lubrication
The bearings in the circulating air blower motors are pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. No further oiling of the bearings is required for the life of the motor.
Condensate Drain Assembly
Be sure the condensate lines are free and open (i.e. avoid kinking hoses). Also make sure all hose clamps are tight to avoid drawing air into the system.
Blower Compartment
The blower compartment should be cleaned monthly during the heating and cooling seasons to remove any dirt and lint that may have accumulated in the compartment or on the blower and motor. Dirt and lint can create excessive loads on the motor resulting in higher than normal operating temperatures and short­ened service life.
SYSTEM OPERATION INFORMATION
Proper maintenance is most important to achieve the best performance from a furnace. Follow these instructions for years of safe, trouble free operation.
• Do not place combustible materials on or against the furnace cabinet or the vent pipe.
• Do not store gasoline or any other flam­mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the furnace.
• Change or replace the air filters monthly during any period when the circulating blower is operating regularly.
• Always replace the doors on the furnace after servicing. Do not operate the furnace without all doors and covers in place.
• Avoid operating the furnace when win­dows and doors are open.
• Be sure that the thermostat is properly installed and is not being affected by drafts or heat from lamps or other appliances.
Sequence of Operation
The operating sequences for the heating, cool­ing, and fan modes are described below. Refer to the field and furnace wiring diagrams; Figures 25, 26a,b,c,d,e, 27, and 28.
Heating Mode:
1. On a call for heat the thermostat closes, applying 24 VAC to the W terminal on the control board.
2. The control board checks for continuity on the 24 VAC limit control circuit (over-tem-
40
Page 41
perature limit switch, flame rollout switches and blocked vent switch in series). If an open limit is detected the control board will energize the inducer blower. All other sys­tem functions will be inoperable until the limit circuit closes. While the limit is open, the red LED will pulse at a rate of 1 blink per unit time.
3. The furnace control checks for continuity across the pressure switch (24 VAC). If the pressure switch is closed the heat mode sequence will not continue. If it remains closed for 10 seconds the red LED will blink 3 times repetitively until the fault condition clears.
4. The inducer is energized.
5. The pressure switch will close. If the pres­sure switch does not close after 10 sec­onds the fault LED will blink 2 times repeti­tively and the inducer will continue to run until the switch is closed.
6. The inducer will pre-purge for 30 seconds and then the igniter will start its warm-up as follows:
Initial Power up: After 30 seconds of igniter warm-up the gas valve (24 VAC) will then open. The igniter circuit will stay energized for 3 seconds after the gas valve opens.
After Initial Power up: The control has a programmed adaptive ignition feature which varies the warm-up period as follows: If ignition is successful the warm-up is
duced
by 3-seconds on each subsequent
re-
call for heat until ignition failure occurs. Upon ignition failure, the warm-up is
creased
by 3-seconds on the next try. If
in-
successful, the timing remains fixed at this level. In general, whenever ignition failure occurs the warm-up interval is increased by 3-seconds on the next try. And if suc­cessful, it remains there. Minimum and maximum warm-up time limits are set at 6 and 54 seconds, respectively.
7. The furnace control must prove flame via the flame sensor 5 seconds after the gas valve opens. If flame is sensed, all burners are on and the igniter cools off. If no flame is sensed, the gas valve closes immedi­ately and the inducer continues to run. A second trial for ignition (step 6) begins if no flame is sensed on the fifth try for ignition,
the furnace control is locked and the red LED will blink 4 times repetitively. The thermostat must be opened for at least ten seconds to reset the furnace control after a lock out. Otherwise, the furnace will attempt another ignition sequence in 1 hour.
8. The furnace control energizes the circulat­ing air blower at a very low speed. After 30 seconds, the blower will ramp to the airflow selected for heating.
9. When the thermostat has been satisfied, gas valve is de-energized.
10. The inducer is de-energized after a 30 second postpurge.
11. The circulating air blower remains on for 120 seconds.
12. Abnormal conditions: If a limit opens during operation, the inducer blower continues to operate. The gas valve is de-energized immediately. The inducer blower continues to operate until the limit closes, then is de­energized.
Cooling Mode:
1. On a call for cooling the thermostat closes, applying 24 VAC to the G and Y terminals on the furnace control. This closes the compressor contactor.
2. The furnace control energizes the circulat­ing blower to 1/3 of the selected airflow for approximately 30 seconds.
3. The circulating blower will then ramp to approximately 3/4 of the selected airflow for another 30 seconds before adjusting to full airflow until the thermostat is satisfied.
4. When the thermostat is satisfied, the G and Y terminals on the control board are de­energized opening the compressor contactor.
5. The circulating air blower will operate at 1/2 of the selected speed for 60 seconds, and de-energize.
Fan Mode:
1. On a call for fan operation, the thermostat applies 24 VAC to the G terminal on the furnace control board.
2. The circulating air blower ramps to 1/2 of the selected airflow.

Furnace Fails to Operate
If the furnace does not operate check the following:
1. Is the thermostat operating properly?
2. Are the blower compartment door(s) in place?
3. Is the furnace disconnect closed?
4. Has the circuit breaker tripped or the con­trol board fuse burned open?
5. Is the gas turned on?
6. Are any manual reset switches open?
7. Is the filter dirty or plugged?
8. Is the flame sensor coated? (Remove and clean with emery cloth.)
If the furnace locks out after 5 attempts for ignition, it will try again every hour if a call for heat remains. If the inducer and circulating air blow­ers are operating, and items 1 through 8 have been checked, press the red reset button on the vent safety switch. (See Figure 29.) If the furnace operates after depressing the reset button, contact a qualified serviceman to identify and repair the problem.
If the furnace continues to not operate, depress the red reset buttons on the flame rollout switches. (See Figure 29.) If the furnace oper­ates after depressing the reset buttons, contact a qualified servicemen to identify and repair the problem.
