IMPORTANT: All Rheem products meet current Federal OSHA Guidelines for safety. California Proposition 65 warnings are required for certain prod­ucts, which are not covered by the OSHA standards.
California's Proposition 65 requires warnings for products sold in California that contain, or produce, any of over 600 listed chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects such as fiberglass insula­tion, lead in brass, and combustion products from natural ga
s.
All “new equipment” shipped for sale in California will have labels stating that the product contains and/or produces Proposition 65 chemicals. Although we have not changed our processes, hav­ing the same label on all our products facilitates manufacturing and shipping. We cannot always know “when, or if” products will be sold in the California market.
You may receive inquiries from cus­tomers about chemicals found in, or produced by, some of our heating and air-cond
itioning equipment, or found in natural gas used with some of our products. Listed below are those chem­icals and substances commonly asso­ciated with similar equipment in our industry and other manufacturers.
• Glass Wool (Fiberglass) Insulation
• Carbon Monoxide (CO)
• Formaldehyde
• Benzene
More details are available at the Websites for OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), at www.osha.gov
and the State of
California's OEHHA (Office of
Environmental Health Hazard
Assessment), at www.oehha.org. Consumer education is important since the chemicals and substances on the list are found in our daily lives. Most consumers are aware that products present safety and health risks, when improperly used, handled and main­tained.
Installation Instructions are updated on a regular basis. This is done as product changes occur or if new information becomes available. In this publication, an arrow denotes changes from the previous edition or additional new material.

IMPORTANT INFORMA­TION ABOUT EFFICIENCY AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Central cooling and heating equip­ment is only as efficient as the duct system that carries the cooled or heated air. To maintain efficiency, comfort and good indoor air quality, it is important to have the proper bal­ance between the air being supplied to each room and the air returning to the cooling and heating equipment.
Proper balance and sealing of the duct system improves the efficiency of the heating andair conditioning system and improves the indoor air quality of the home by reducing the amount of airborne pollutants that enter homes from spaces where the ductwork and / or equipment is locat­ed. The manufacturer and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Program recommend that central duct systems be checked by a qualified contractor for proper balance and sealing.
WARNING
!
DUCT LEAKS CAN CREATE AN UNBALANCED SYSTEM AND DRAW POLLUTANTS SUCH AS DIRT, DUST, FUMES AND ODORS INTOTHE HOME CAUSING PROP­ERTY DAMAGE. FUMES AND ODORS FROM TOXIC,VOLATILE OR FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS, AS WELL AS AUTOMOBILE EXHAUST AND CARBON MONOXIDE (CO), CAN BE DRAWN INTO THE LIVING SPACE THROUGH LEAKING DUCTS AND UNBALANCED DUCT SYSTEMS CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH (SEE FIGURE
4).
• IF AIR-MOVING EQUIPMENT OR
DUCTWORK IS LOCATED IN GARAGES OR OFF-GARAGE STORAGE AREAS - ALL JOINTS, SEAMS, AND OPENINGS IN THE EQUIPMENT AND DUCT MUST BE SEALED TO LIMIT THE MIGRATION OF TOXIC FUMES AND ODORS INCLUDING CAR­BON MONOXIDE FROM MIGRAT­ING INTO THE LIVING SPACE.
• IF AIR-MOVING EQUIPMENT OR
DUCTWORK IS LOCATED IN SPACES CONTAINING FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES SUCH AS WATER HEATERS OR BOIL­ERS - ALL JOINTS, SEAMS, AND OPENINGS IN THE EQUIPMENT AND DUCT MUST ALSO BE SEALED TO PREVENT DEPRES­SURIZATION OF THE SPACE AND POSSIBLE MIGRATION OF COMBUSTION BYPRODUCTS INCLUDING CARBON MONOX­IDE INTO THE LIVING SPACE.

1. IMPORTANT: If installing the unit
over a finished ceiling or living
area, be certain to install an auxil-
iary condensate drain pan under the entire unit. Extend this auxil- iary drain pan under any evapora­tor coil installed with the furnace and the open portion of the con-
densate drain assembly. See
“Condensate Drain/Neutralizer”
section for more details.
2. IMPORTANT: If using a cooling
evaporator coil with this furnace. Be sure the air passes over the
heat exchanger before passing
over the cooling coil. The cooled air passing over the warm ambient
air inside the heat exchanger
tubes can cause condensation inside the sion and eventual failure.
3. IMPORTANT: Install the furnace
level. If it is not level, condensate cannot drain properly, possibly causing furnace shut down.
NOTE: These furnaces are approved for installation in attics, as well as alcoves, utility rooms, closets and crawlspaces. Make provisions to pre-
vent freezing of condensate.
4. IMPORTANT: If this furnace is
installed in a garage, attic or any other unconditioned space, a self­regulating heat tape must be installed around the condensate trap and along the entire length of the condensate drain in the uncon­ditioned space.
The heat tape should meet the fol­lowing requirements:
a. The heat tape must be UL listed. b. Install the heat tape per the

Return air can come from : (1) out­side the building, (2) from return air ducting from several inside rooms, or (3) a combination of the two. When using
outside air, design and adjust the sys-
tem to maintain a return air temperature above 55°F during the heating season. If return air comes from both inside and outside the building, design the ducting system with a diverting damper so that the volume of return air entering the fur­nace equals that which would normally enter thr furnace. Any duct opening pulling return air from the outside must not be any higher nor closer than 10 feet to the fur-
nace exhaust vent.

SUPPLY AIR SENSOR
Each furnace comes shipped from the factory with a supply air sensor. Install the sensor, in the supply air plenum trunk, with two, field supplied, #8 sheet metal screws, using the following guide­lines:
1. 12” downstream of the evaporator coil, if installed.
2. If no evaporator coil is used, locate the sensor out of direct line-of-site of the heat exchanger and not clos­er than 18” downstream of the fur­nace outlet.
3. Attach the supply air sensor wires onto the terminals marked “SA Sensor” on the integrated furnace control board (See Figure 13).
4. Do not extend the supply-air sensor
wire. NOTE: Improper placement of the
supply air sensor can adversely affect furnace temperature rise.
NOTE: In downflow circumstances where building construction does not allow for the placement of the sensor to fall within these parameters, the supply air sensor should not be connected. This means that the furnace will run under default parameters. When run­ning under default parameters, the “82” code will appear for 90 seconds. After that, the fault code will be stored in the control board’s memory and will show only upon power cycling. Default airflow
parameters can be manually adjusted.
See section discussing Integrated Furnace Control (IFC) board in this manual.
For communicating systems, the supply air se off so that a fault code will not be displayed at all. This can be done in the furnace setup menu of a commu­nicating thermostat. See the section of this manual titled Communicating Systems under sub-section titled Furnace User Menus (Setup).

INSTALLATION WITH PRE-EXISTING VENT SYSTEMS
When the installation of this furnace
replaces an existing furnace that is
removed from a vent system serving other appliances (such as a water
heater), the existing vent system is likely
to be too large to proper remaining attached appliances.
Follow the steps below with each appli­ance remaining connected to the origi­nal common vent system. Place the appliance to be tested in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common vent system are not in operation. Test the operation of each appliance individually by the fol­lowing method.
1. Permanently seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system f
or proper size and horizontal pitch
and determine that there is no blockage, restriction, leakage, cor­rosion or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows and all doors between the space where the appliances remaining connected to the com­mon venting system are located. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the
ly vent the
common venting system. Turn
on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and ba
exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close
fireplace dampers.
4. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being
inspected into operation. Adjust
the thermostat so the appliance will operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
6. After it has been determined each appliance that remains con­nected to the common 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.
7. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests,
resize the common venting sys-
tem. Refer to latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, or the CSA-GAMA vent­ing tables for Category I fur­naces
.
NOTE: For U.S. installations only. Schedule 40 ABS-DWV pipe and fittings may be used as an alternate to PVC pipe for the combustion air inlet and vent pipes.

WARNING
!
ALWAYS PROVIDE THIS FUR­NACE AND ANY OTHER FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE WITH ENOUGH FRESH AIR FOR PROPER COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OF THE FLUE GASES. MOST BUILDING CODES REQUIRE THAT OUT­SIDE AIR BE SUPPLIED INTO THE FURNACE AREA. FAIL­URE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE DEATH FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
Provide adequate facilities for com­bustion and ventilation air in accor­dance with section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1 - latest edition; CAN/CGA B149.1 and .2, or applicable provi­sions of the local building codes. These combustion and ventilation facilities must not be obstructed.
IMPORTANT: Air for combustion and ventilation must not come from a corrosive atmosphere. Any furnace failure due to corrosive elements in
the atmosphere is excluded from
warranty coverage.
I
The following types of installation (but not limited to the following) REQUIRE OUTDOOR AIR for combustion, d
to chemical exposures:
• Commercial buildings
• Buildings with indoor pools
• Furnaces installed in laundry
rooms
• Furnaces in hobby or craft rooms
• Furnaces installed near chemical
storage areas.
Exposure to the following substances
in the combustion air supply (but not limited to the following) also REQUIRE OUTDOOR AIR for com­bustion:
• Permanent wave solutions
• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
• Chlorine-based swimming pool
chemicals
• Water softening chemica
• De-icing salts or chemicals
• Carbon Tetrachloride
• Halogen type refrigerants
• Cleaning solvents (such as per-
chloroethylene)
• Printing inks, paint removers,
varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloric acid
• Cements and glues
• Anti-static fabric softeners for
clothes dryers
• Masonry acid washing materials
Combustion air must be free of acid forming chemicals such as sulphur, fluorine, and chlorine. These ele­ments are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cl vents, air fresheners, paint and var­nish removers, refrigerants and many other commercial and household products. Vapors from these products when burned in a gas flame form acid compounds. The acid compounds increase the dew point temperature of the flue products and produce highly corrosive condensate.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
IMPORTANT: When installed as a non-
direct furnace, only vertical terminations
are allowed. Do not use horizontal termi-
nations when the furnace is installed with a non-direct vent.
All exhaust vent piping must be installed
in compliance with Part 7, Venting of Equipment, of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI A223.1, or CAN/CGA-B149.1 and .2, local codes or ordinances and these instructions.
7. The minimum vent length is 5 feet.
8. All piping through the roof is 2".
When using 3" pipe, reduce to 2" within 18" of the inside of the roof.
9. Vertical through-the-roof installa­tions do not require any special vent termination. Use 2" PVC
pipe extending a minimum of 12
inches above the anticipated level of snow accumulation.
10. Elbows must be a mini
mum of
15” apart.
11. No screens may be used to cover combustion air or
exhaust.
VENTING GUIDELINES - Non-
Direct
Vent
1. IMPORTANT: Do not common vent
with any other appliance. Do not install in the same chase or chim­ney with a metal or high tempera­ture plastic pipe from another gas or fuel-burning appliance unless the required minimum clearances to combustibles are maintained between the PVC pipe and other pipes.
2. Use only medium or long radius
sweep elbows, such as PVC-DWV elbows.
NOTE: For upflow and downflow
installations, extend the exhaust
pipe a minimum of 18" vertically above t
he furnace cabinet before
turning the vent.
3. Vertical vent piping is preferred.
4. Install all horizontal piping as fol-
lows:
• Slope horizontal vent piping
upward a minimum of 1/4" per foot of run so that condensate drains toward the furnace.
• Support horizontal vent piping at
least every four feet. No sags or dips are permitted.
5. Insulate all vent runs through unconditioned spaces where below-
freezing temperatures are expected,
with 1" thick medium density, foil
ced fiber glass or equivalent
fa
Rubatex/Armaflex insulation. For horizontal runs where water may collect and freeze, wrap the vent
pipe with self-regulating, 3 or 5 Watt heat tape. The heat tape must be U.L. listed and installed per the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. All piping between the furnace and the roof penetration is 2" or 3" as specified in Table 6. Table 6 lists the
maximum allowable exhaust vent
pipe length for the number of elbows used, based on the furnace
size.
PORTANT: Use Only standard
IM
vertical terminations when installing the modulating furnace as a non­direct vent appliance.

TIONS
NOTE: All furnaces with horizontal air intakes (except those using horizontal
concentric vent kit RXGY-E03A) must have a drain tee assembly and trap
installed in the combustion air pipe as close to the furnace as possible. This is to drain any water that may enter the combustion air pipe to prevent it from entering the furnace vestibule area.
These parts are included in horizontal
vent kits RXGY-D02A, RXGY-D03A and RXGY-D04A.
NOTE: The combustion air and exhaust terminations must be at least 12 inches above grade or anticipated snow levels.
Use alternate horizontal terminations
when termination locations are limited and higher snow levels are anticipated.
NOTE: Ensure the location of the com­bustion air inlet with respect to the
exhaust vent terminal complies with
Figure 21, detail C.
Combustion Air Piping
: Use a 2" PVC coupling with a wind deflector vane (pro­vided) installed as follows:
1. Install a 2" coupling to the combus­tion air pipe at the outside wall to prevent the termination from being pushed inward.
2. Cut a 2 1/4" length of 2" PVC pipe and connect this to the coupling.
3. Connect another 2" coupling to the end of the 2 1/4" length of pipe. Terminate this outer coupling 4 inches from the wall.
4. Attach the vane in the final 2" cou­pling in the vertical position with PVC cement.
IMPORTANT: To insure proper fur­nace operation, install the vane in the vertical position as shown in Figure 21, Detail B. Failure to install the vane properly can result in nuisance trip­ping of the pressure switch.
Exhaust Vent Piping: 60,000 and 75,000 BTUH models: Install a 2" to 1 1/2" reducer cou­pling at the outside wall to prevent the termination from being pushed inward. Reduce the 2" vent pipe used to penetrate the wall to 1 1/2" PVC for the last 12" of the run.
Terminate the 1 1/2" PVC exhaust
vent at least 12 inches from the out­side wall.
90,000 through 120,000 BTUH models: Install a 2" coupling at the
outside wall to prevent the termina­tion from being pushed inward. No reduction of the 2" pipe used to penetrate the wall is necessary.
Terminate the 2" PVC exhaust vent
at least 12 inches from the outside wall.

minations allow the combustion air
and exhaust terminations to be raised a maximum of 60 inches above the
wall penetrations to maintain the required clearance.
NOTE: If combustion air vent pipe is extended more than 24 inches, insu­late the vent pipe between the two outside 90° elbows with closed cell
insulation such as rubatex, armaflex
or equivalent.
NOTE: Ensure the location of the combustion air inlet with respect to
the exhaust vent terminal complies
with Figure 22.
Combustion Air Piping
: Use a 2" PVC elbow with a wind deflector vane (pro­vided) installed as follows:
1. Install a 2" elbow to the combustion air pipe at the outside wall to prevent the termination from being pushed inward.
2. Cut an adequate length of 2" PVC pipe as needed to clear the antici­pated snow level and connect this to the elbow.
3. Connect another 2" elbow to the end of the pipe such that the inlet is facing away from the wall. This outer coupling must terminate 4 inches from the wall.
4. Attach
the vane in the final 2" elbow in the vertical position with PVC solvent.

CAUTION
!
THE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS AND MOISTURE IN THE FLUE GASES WILL CONDENSE AS THEY LEAVETHE TERMINATION. THE CONDENSATE CAN FREEZE ON THE EXTERIOR WALL, UNDER THE EAVES AND ON SURROUNDING OBJECTS. SOME DISCOLORATIONTOTHE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING IS TO BE EXPECTED. HOWEVER, IMPROPER LOCATION OR INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN STRUCTURAL OR EXTERIOR FINISH DAMAGETOTHE BUILD­ING AND MAY RECIRCULATE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION INTOTHE COMBUSTION AIR TERMINAL AND FREEZE.
NOTE: In Canada vent terminations
must be in accordance with the current CSA-B149 Gas Installation Code and/or local codes.
The vent must be installed with the fol­lowing minimum clearances. See Figures 23 and 24.
1. Locate the bottom of the vent ter­minal and the air inlet at least 12 inches above grade. Increase the 12-in. minimum to keep the termi­nal openings above the level of snow accumulation, where applica­ble.
2. Do not terminate the vent over pub­lic walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a
nuisance or hazard.
3. Locate the vent terminal at least one foot from any opening through which flue gases could enter a building.
4. Locate the vent terminal at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet
located within 10 feet, except the
combustion air inlet of a direct vent appliance.
5. Allow the vent terminal minimum
horizontal clearance of 4 feet from
electric meters, gas meters, regula­tors and relief equipment.
6. Locate the furnace combustion air inlet a sufficient distance from the vent of any other gas or fuel burn­ing appliance or electric clothes dryer to prevent recirculation of the flue gases into the furnace com-
bustion air inlet. The only exception
to this requirement is the case of multiventing two or more furnaces, which is covered in the section on multiventing in these instructions.
In addition to the minimum clearances listed above, the ven be governed by the following guide­lines.
1. Do not terminate under any kind of patio or deck. If running the vent under a deck, insulate it to insure
no condensate freezes and blocks
the pipe. The insulation must be waterproof.
For vent considerations, the edge of the deck must be considered the outside wall.
2. Do not terminate behind any area that may allow the flue products to become stagnant and recirculate.
3. Do not locate on the side of a building with pre winds. This will help prevent mois-
ture from freezing on walls and
overhangs (under eaves).
4. Do not extend vent directly
through brick or masonry sur­faces. Use a rust-resistant sheet metal or plastic backing plate behind vent. See Figure 15.
5. Do not locate too close to shrubs as condensate may stunt or kill them.

The vertical clearance should be increased equ
tional increase in horizontal over­hang to a maximum vertical
clearance of 6 feet.
7. Caulk all cracks, seams and
joints within 6 feet horizontally
as well as 6 feet above and below vent. See Figure 23.

CONDENSATE DRAIN/OPTIONAL NEUTRALIZER
GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTION
!
DO NOT RUN DRAIN OUTDOORS. FREEZING OF CONDENSATE CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect into a com-
mon drain line with an air conditioner evaporator coil drain located below the furnace. A blocked or restricted drain line can result in overflow of the coil pan and negate the furnace blocked-drain shutoff control.
IMPORTANT: If installing the unit over a finished ceiling or living area, be certain
to install an auxiliary condensate drain pan under the entire unit extending out
under the condensate tee. With the mini-
1
mum 5
2" riser for upflow models
or 13⁄4" for downflow models installed above the tee, a blocked drain will result in overflow from the riser. if the furnace is installed in an attic, crawlspace or other
area where freezing temperatures may occur, the furnace drain can freeze while
shut off for long periods of time. If required by local codes, install a con-
densate neutralizer cartridge in the drain line. Install cartridge in horizontal position
only.Also install an overflow line if routing to a floor drain (see Figures 31 & 32). If available, install a condensate pump that is resistant to acidic water. Pumps are available from your local distributor. If pump used is not resistant to acidic water,
a condensate neutralizer must be used
ahead of the pump. The condensate
pump must have an auxiliary safety
switch to prevent operation of the furnace and resulting overflow of condensate in the event of pump failure. The safety switch must be wired through the “R” cir­cuit only (low voltage) to provide operation in either heating or cooling modes.
When selecting neutralizer cartridges and
condensate pumps, use the following data:
CONDENSATE PRODUCTION: MAX (ALL MODELS) = 1-2 gallons per hr.

RXGY-H01 CONVERTING TO LEFT DRAIN FOR DOWNFLOW MODELS
To convert downflow models to left­hand drain, a kit (RXGY-H01) must be ordered from the distributor. The kit includes a 24” piece of1⁄2” black PVC pipe, a 2” rubber grommet, a 1-5/8” plug and instructions. Note the loca­tion of the alternate drain hole as shown in Figure 34.
To convert to left side drainage, first remove the drainage hoses from the trap. Remove the trap from its mount­ing bracket, rotate it 180 degrees and mount in place with the drainage elbow pointing to the left. Reattach the drain hoses.
Remove the plug from the 2” alternate drain hole (see Figure 34) and replace it with the 2” rubber grommet supplied in the RXGY- H01 downflow alternate
diameter plug that is also supplied in the RXGY-H01 downflow alternate drain kit. Both the hole-plug and grommet must be in place to insure a good seal in the burner compartment.

mended gas pipe size for natural gas
and Table 9 for L.P. See Figures 39, 40 & 41 for typical gas pipe connections.
Install a ground joint union between the manual gas stop and the main gas valve to easily remove the con­trol valve assembly. Install a manual gas stop in the gas line outside the furnace cabinet. The gas stop should
be readily accessible to t supply on or off. Install a drip leg in the gas supply line as close to the furnace as possible. Always use a pipe com­pound resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases on all threaded con­nections.
IMPORTANT: When making gas pipe connections, use a back-up wrench to prevent any twisting of the control assembly and gas valve.
Any strains on the gas valve can change the position of the gas orifices in the burners. This can cause erratic fur­nace operation.
IMP
ORTANT: Do not run a flexible gas
connector inside the unit. If local codes
allow the use of a flexible gas appliance
connector, always use a new listed con­nector. Do not use a connector which has previously serviced another gas appliance. Massachusetts law requires
that all flexible gas connectors be less
than 36”. The gas pipe grommet in the cabinet
does not seal around a flexible gas con-
nector. It is important to have all openings in the cabinet burner com­partment seale operation.
IMPORTANT: To insure a good seal, the
gas pipe that runs through the grommet must be 1/2” schedule 40 black pipe.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the furnace
gas control valve is not subjected to
high gas line supply pressures (13.5” w.c. or above).
DISCONNECT the furnace and its indi­vidual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing that
exceeds 1/2 PSIG (3.23 kPa or 13" w.c.).

GAS PRESSURE
Natural gas supply pressure should be 5" to 10.5" w.c. LP gas supply pressure should be 11" to 13" w.c.
This pressure must be maintained with all other gas-fired appliances in operation.
WARNING
!
NEVER PURGE A GAS LINE INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. NEVER USE MATCHES, FLAME OR ANY IGNITION SOURCE FOR CHECKING LEAKAGE. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THISWARNING CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLO­SION RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
To check for gas leakage, use an approved chloride-free soap and water solution, an electronic combustible gas detector, or other approved method.
GAS VALVE
This furnace has a 24-volt operated main solenoid valve. It has ports for measuring supply pressure and manifold pressure. A manual control is on the valve body. It can be set to only the
“ON” or “OFF” positions. IMPORTANT: Two different gas valves
are available with the modulating fur­nace. The type of valve used will affect the wire diagram, wire assemblies, light­ing instructions, LP conversion kit and many other aspects of the furnace design. To determine the type of valve used on your furnace, consult the first two digits of the serial number.

LP CONVERSION
IMPORTANT: LP gas from trucks used
to transport liquid-based fertilizers can
contain chemicals that will damage the furnace. Verify that your gas supplier does not use the same truck to trans­port materials other than LP.
This furnace is shipped from the facto-
ry for use on natural gas only. For use on LP gas, a proper conversion is required.
HG or HH Fuel Code trolled modulating valve): Conversion of the furnace for use on LP gas requires conversion kit RXGJ- FP07. This kit includes an LP gas valve.
HA or HB Fuel Code controlled modulating valve): Conversion of the furnace for use with LP gas requires conversion kit RXGJ- FP27. (Gas valve not required.)

OTE ABOUT LP CONVERSION
N OF STEPPER-CONTROLLED MODULATING GAS VALVE:
To
convert the stepper-controlled mod-
ulating gas valve, a jumper is
required to connect the two pins
inside the jumper well. It is possible to install the jumper such that the
pins are not connected. This is
incorrect. The jumper must connect the pins together inside the jumper
well. This can be confirmed by visu­al inspection and by verifying proper manifold pressure at high fire
(100%) after the jumper
is installed.
Manifold pressure should always be
Page 43
checked when converting the furnace for LP operation. Figures 46 and 47 below show the incorrect way and the
correct way to install the jumper. The jumper well is located next to the adjustment well (with “+” and “–” text
and two-headed arrow) and will be covered by a sticker or label. To con-

ELECTRICAL CHECKS
Line Power Check
The furnace must have a nominal 115 volt power supply for proper opera­tion. If there is not a consistent power supply, contact a licensed electrician to correct the problem.
1. With the blower compartment door off, manually hold the push button door switch in.
2. Call for heat at the thermostat.
3. With the unit operating, use a volt­meter to measure the voltage from an
y 120 VAC terminal to any neu-
tral connection.
4. The voltage should be a nominal 115 volts (acceptable 105­120VAC).
This test should be made with the unit in full operation.
Polarity Check
If line & neutral are reversed, a fault code (26) will be displayed at the fur­nace seven segment display (SSD) and at the communicating thermostat active fault display screen (communi­cating systems only).
Proper line ing, is a must for this furnace to oper­ate. Use a volt meter to make this check.
1. With the blower compartment door off, manually hold the push button door switch in.
2. Use a voltmeter to measure the voltage from any 120 VAC terminal to any bare metal ground on the furnace.
3. The voltage should be a nominal 115 volts (acceptable 105­120VAC).
4. Use a voltmeter to measure the voltage from any neutral terminal to the bare metal ground on the furnace.
5. The voltage should be less than
1.0 VAC.
6. If the voltage from any 120 VAC terminal to ground is less than 1.0 VAC volts and the voltage from a neutral to ground is a nominal 115 volts, the polarity is reversed.
7. To correct the problem, either reverse the hot and neutral wires to the furnace or have a licensed electrician che wiring.

TWINNING: Twinning is NOT permitted
on any modulating RGFE, RGGE or RGJF furnace model.
ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER
Line voltage power is supplied from the screw terminal “EAC”, see Figure 53, and a line voltage neutral screw terminal on the control board. This will power the electronic air cleaner whenever the blower is operating and delivering the recommended minimum CFM. The 60 and 75 KBTU models, which are capa­ble of a maximum delivery of 1200 CFM, will operate the electronic air cleaner at 500 CFM and above. The 90, 105 and 120 KBTU models, which are capable of
a maximum delivery of 2000 CFM, will
operate the electronic air cleaner at 800 CFM and above. These limits are set to
prevent excessive production of ozone
at the lower airflows of the modulating furnace and are based on average requirements of commercially available electronic air cleaners. Continuous fan speeds are selectable and some lower fan speeds may not deliver enough airflow to operate an electronic air cleaner. The IFC deter­mines the minimum airflow necessary to operate an electronic air cleaner and will not turn on the electronic air cleaner unless the airflow is high enough for the EAC.
HUMIDIFICATION AND DEHUMIDIFI­CATION
HUMIDIFIER – The humidifier contacts (labeled “HUM OUT”) are “dry” contacts on the I.F.C. This means that the termi­nals are connected directly to the con­tacts of a board-mounted relay. The coil of the relay is controlled by the microprocessor of the IFC. The coil is engaged roughly any time the heat speed blower is engaged and (1) 24VAC is present on the thermostat ter­minal of the IFC labeled “HUM STAT” or (2) a communicating thermostat with humidification and dehumidification capability is installed with call for humidification present.

FIELD INSTALLED JUMPER FROM “R” TO “HUM STAT” TERMINALS
JUMPER SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED WHEN USING A COMMUNICATING THERMOSTAT WITH HUMIDIFICATION AND DEHUMIDIFICATION CAPABILI­TIES.
An optional 24VAC humidistat can be installed as shown in Figures 54 thru 54 (II thru IV). With the optional humidistat, two separate conditions must be met before humidification can begin 1). There must be a call for heat and the blower must be engaged and 2.) The humidistat must determine that there is a need for humidification.
Note: Dipswitch SW2-1 (labeled “ODD”) enables (“ON”) or disables (“OFF”) dehumidification operation. However, it has no affect on humidi­fication operation. If this switch is set to the “ON” position and no humidistat is installed, the cooling

airflow will be permanently reduced by
approximately 15% giving less than
optimal performance and possibly caus­ing prob
lems. It is not recommended to leave this switch in the “ON” position without a humidistat installed.
Control of dehumidification in cooling and/or humidification in heating can be done with a variety of methods depend­ing on whether there is a communicat­ing thermostat or a humidistat available and depending on the type of operation desired.
With systems configured with communi­cating thermostats and co
ndensers, dehumidification is controlled by the condenser and is not affected by the position of dipswitch SW2-1 or the volt­age (or lack of voltage) at the thermo­stat terminal labeled “HUM STAT”.
To determine which wiring diagram and method to use, select from the following configurations:
A. HUMIDIFICATION CONTROL ONLY
WITH NO DEHUMIDIFICATION (REQUIRES OPTIONAL HUMIDIFI­ER).
A1. WITH COMMUNICATING
THERMOSTAT Humidifier control is included with the (-)HC-TST412MDMS (modulating, non-communicat­ing) and (-)HC-TST550CMMS (full-color communicating) model thermostats. However, it is not included with the (-)HC­TST501CMMS model commu­nicating thermostat. The latter thermostat should not be used if h
umidification control is required. To wire the furnace for humidification control using the former thermostat, refer to the wiring diagram in Figure 54(I). Be sure not
to install the
jumper between “R” and “HUM
STAT” on the furnace con-
trol. Installing this jumper
will operate the humidifier any time there is a heat call.
Without the jumper, the
humidification call from the thermostat must be active and a heat call must be pre­sent with the blower running.
A2. WITH NON-COMMUNICAT-
ING THERMOSTAT
A2-1 CONTINOUS HUMID-
IFIER OPERATION DURING HEATING. For continuous humid­ifier o
peration during heating, refer to Figure 54 (I) and make sure to install
the jumper between
the thermostat termi­nals labeled “R” and “HUM STAT”. A sepa­rate humidistat is not required for this con­figuration and the humidifier will turn on whenever there is a call for heat and the blower is running.
A2-2 CONTROLED
HUMIDIFIER OPERA­TION USING A HUMIDISTAT (REQUIRES OPTION­AL HUMIDISTAT). Controlled humidifica­t
ion can be accom­plished using a humidistat as shown in Figures 55 (II) or 56 (III). These figures show installation of a
humidifier with exter-
nal and internal power supplies respectively. Dehumidification oper­ation will be disabled if the dipswitch SW2-1 is in the “OFF” posi­tion. If this switch is in the “ON” position, dehumidification con­trol will be active.
B. DEHUMIDIFICATION CONTROL
WITH NO HUMIDIFIC
ATION
B1. For communicating ther-
mostats listed with this fur­nace, dehumidification is controlled automatically when selected at the ther­mostat and additional wiring is not necessary. The actual airflow demand (reduced for dehumidification) is request­ed of the furnace by the condenser.
48
Page 49
B2. WITH NON-COMMUNICATING
THERMOSTAT (REQUIRES OPTIONAL HUMIDISTAT). Control of dehumidification only (no humidification) can be accomplished by installing an op
tional humidistat as shown in Figure 57 (IV). The dipswitch SW2-1 must be set to the “ON” position. If this switch is not turned “ON”, dehumidification operation will not take place. Further, if this switch is “ON” and no humidistat is installed, airflow in cooling will be perma-
nently reduced by approximate-
ly 15%.
C. HUMIDIFICATION AND DEHUMIFI-
CATION CONTROL (REQUIRES OPTIONAL HUMIDIFI­ER).
C1. WITH COMM
THERMOSTAT Humidifier control is included with the (-)HC-TST412MDMS (modulating, non-communicat­ing) and (-)HC-TST550CMMS (full-color communicating) model thermostats. However, it is not included with the (-)HC­TST501CMMS model commu­nicating thermostat. Do not purchase the latter thermostat if humidification control is required. To wire the furnace for humidification and dehumidi­fication cont thermostat, refer to the wiring diagram in Figure 54 (I). Be sure not between “R” and “HUM STAT” on the furnace control.
Installing this jumper will oper-
ate the humidifier any time
UNICATING
rol using the former
to install the jumper
there is a heat call and dehu­midification will never take place when in cooling. Without
the jumper, a humidification call
from the thermostat must be active and a heat call must be present with the blower running for the “HUM OUT” relay con­tacts to close.
C2. WITH NON-COMMU
THERMOSTAT (REQUIRES OPTIONAL HUMIDISTAT.) For non-communicating ther­mostats, an optional humidistat must be installed. Controlled humidification and dehumidifi­cation can be accomplished using a humidistat as shown in Figures 55 (II) or 56 (III). These figures show installation
of a humidifier with external and
internal power supplies respec­tively. Dehumidification opera­tion will be disabled switch SW2-1 is in the “OFF” position. If this switch is in the “ON” position, dehumidification control will be active.

EXAMPLES
The following are examples of orifice sizing using the National Fuel Gas Code Appendix F. For a simplified estimation of orifice size based on
heating value and elevation use Tables 10 and 11. However, calcula­tions are the best method.
Example: 900 BTU/ft Natural Gas Heating Value
I / H = Q 15000 / 900 = 16.68 ft
I = Sea Level input (per burner): 15000 H = Sea Level Heatin Q = 16.68 ft

All calculations are performed by using the first three columns of information only. Before beginning any calculations, determine the
individual burner Btu size and heating value at Sea Level for the installation site. Each value shown in the Heat Value column is per
burner at 3.5" W.C.
NOTE:
Heat Value at Sea Level, for the location of the installation, is available from the Natural Gas Supplier to that site. Orifices for all altitudes are based
on Sea Level values.
Divide the individual burner capacity (15,000 for 90 plus) by the Heat Value for the site to determine the Cubic Foot value at Sea Level, or divide

ZONING SYSTEMS
The manufacturer does not currently
provide or support zoning with modulat­ing furnace. However, zoning systems
can be installed with the system as long
as the zoning equipment manufacturers
specifications and installation instruc­tions are met and followed.
The preferred zoning method is to use
a “bypass” system which is properly
installed for maximum efficiency. In these systems, excess
back through the system to be used again – this is opposed to a “dump”
system in which excess air is routed to a zone where it is expected that the extra heat or cooling would be least
noticed. If installed as a “bypass” system, the
installation must have an optional
freeze stat installed to prevent the coil from icing with excess bypass cooling. Also, if the zoning equipment manufac-
turer prov
ides a limit switch (usually
provided by the zoning manufacturer),
this limit must be installed in the system to prevent the furnace from overheat­ing.

UP TO 16 SEER COOLING OPERATION
Check the revision number of the integrated furnace control (IFC) to determine how best to configure your furnace for high SEER opera­tion.
To achieve high SEER operation, turn dip switch #4 of bank SW2 to the “off” position (factory setting). This will enable the furnace opera­tion for 16 SEER. Actual SEER val­ues will vary and depend on the equipment combination. Consult the specifications sheets and installation instructions of the cooling equipment pur
chased for a listing of the SEER

STEPPER GAS VALVE CONTROL (J16)
For furnaces equipped with a stepper modulating gas valve, a five-pin con­nector is used to control and sense the gas valve. The valve uses a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) signal to con­trol the firing rate. The duty cycle this signal is five percent less than the
expected firing rate. For example, if
the firing rate is 90%, the PWM to (and from) the valve will be 85% duty cycle. The connector also provides the
24VAC signal to energize the main
valve solenoid. Reference the wiring diagram for the furnace printed in this document or on the inside of the fur­nace blower door.

Double-check the wiring and make sure that the wire connected to pin “1” on the condenser is the same wire connected to pin “1” on the thermostat and the furnace control. The same follows for the wires to pins “2”, “R” and “C”.

MEMORY CARD CONNEC-
TOR (J15)
This connector is used to insert a mem-
ory card.
MEMORY CARD
A memory card is defined as an elec­tronic card that carries a copy of the furnace shared data.
RULES FOR WRITING, DISTRIBUTION AND ARBITRATION OF MULTIPLE
COPIES OF FURNACE SHARED DATA
FOR COMMUNICATING-CAPABLE
FURNACES
Furnace shared data data specific to a given furnace that is critical for proper furnace opera­tion. More specifically, it is data which defines the operation of the furnace and is unique to a given fur­nace platform and model. The most critical of these data are the coeffi­cients that control the blower opera­tion (i.e. define the blower speed­torque operation). Because of this, each furnace control is pr with furnace shared data for that model furnace only. The furnace shared data from any given furnace can NOT be transferred to another furnace for any reason. Doing so can adversely affect operation of the furnace. Further, if no furnace shared data is present, the furnace will not operate in any mode and a fault will be displayed.
Valid Furnace Shared Data as furnace shared data for the fur­nace series in question with the cor­rect motor horsepower. However, it is impossible for the furnace control to determine if the furnace shared data is matched to the furnace input BTU’s if the motor horsepower is cor-
rect. This means, for example, fur-
nace shared data for a 120KBTU upflow furnace could be installed and
recognized as valid furnace shared
da
ta in a 90KBTU downflow furnace. VALID FURNACE SHARED DATA simply means that there is no motor horsepower conflict and that the fur­nace shared data is for the series of furnace in question. VALID FUR­NACE SHARED DATA is data that will be used by the furnace control with no fault reported. VALID FUR­NACE SHARED DATA may not nec­essarily mean that the furnace shared data is correct for the furnace in ques
tion. The input BTU’s could
still be incorrect and this is why it is
important to never exchange memory
cards from one furnace to another. Furnace shared data is programmed
into the furnace control microproces­sor and attached memory card at the factory. The attached memory card cannot be programmed in the field but furnace shared data inside the furnace IFC microprocessor may be written or rewritten in the field through the network depending on the circumstances.

WARNING
!
DO NOT REPLACE THE FURNACE CONTROL OR MEMORY CARD OF THE FURNACE WITH A FURNACE CONTROL OR MEMORY CARD OF ANOTHER FURNACE OR ANOTH­ER COMPONENT (E.G.: A MEMO­RY CARD FROM A CONDENSER OR AIR HANDLER). THE WRONG FURNACE CONTROL OR MEMO­RY CARD MAY SPECIFY PARA­METERS WHICH WILL MAKE THE FURNACE RUN AT UNDESIRED CONDITIONS INCLUDING (BUT NOT NECESSARILY LIMITED TO) REDUCED AIRFLOW DURING HEATING CAUSING EXCE UNDESIRED OPERATION OF THE MAIN LIMIT CONTROL. FUR­THER, THE MEMORY CARD IS SPECIFIC TO THE MODEL NUM­BER AND BTU INPUT RATING FOR A SPECIFIC FURNACE AND THIS INFORMATION SHOULD NOT BE TRANSPORTED FROM ONE FURNACE (OR COMPO­NENT) TO ANOTHER.
The memory card is the default memory location to be used first when there is any conflict. If the
memory card has been replaced with a card that has data for another furnace, the furnace will assume the identity of the “other” furnace. In all cases, the memory card has the final say about the data to use. It is only when the memory card is not present, is corrupt or specifies a motor larger or smaller than what is found in the furnace that the furnace control will use the data stored in the micro most recent memory card with blow-
er size matching that found in the
furnace). The hierarchy of data to be used in the event of a lost card or conflict is listed in order of impor­tance below.

will not operate the furnace until fur­nace shared data is loaded in the field either via the original memory card or via redundant copies stored on various components in a commu­nicating network (the latter applies only to installations configured as communicating systems and NOT to so-called legacy (24VAC) controlled systems).
When the furnace control is replaced, the original memory card must be broken a
way from the origi-
nal furnace control (IFC) and retained with the furnace. When the new IFC is installed, the origi­nal memory card will be inserted into connector J15 of the IFC to impart the critical furnace shared data to the replacement control. Note that in this circumstance there will be essentially two fur­nace shared data cards; one attached to the furnace control and one inserted into connector J15. Howe
ver, the attached card has no furnace shared data as replacement controls ordered from ProStock will not contain any furnace shared data on the mem­ory card or in the microprocessor and memory cards cannot be written (or rewritten) in the field.
no memory card present
1. If a. Furnace shared data from the
“network” is used. Furnace network shared data is defined as a redundant copy (or copies) of the critical furnace shared data stored at various places and components on the communicating network.
The “network” can be defined as follows:
I. The “network” can be the
furnace control itself if it was programmed at the fac­tory and the memory card has been removed for some reason.
II. The “network” can be a fur-
nace control which has had a valid card previously (either attached or inserted) and removed for some rea­son.
III. The “network” can be a fur-
nace control attached to a communicating condenser and/or thermostat which has copies of the furnace shared data that can be retrieved by the furnace control.
IV. A furnace control sent as a
replacement part will have no furnace shared data either in the microprocessor or on the memory card. The replacement control does not i
nclude a valid memory card. The furnace shared data can be added by:
1. Inserting a valid memory
card (e.g. the original memory card sent with the original furnace con-
, –
61

trol or a valid replacement memory card ordered from ProStock.
or
2. by attaching the furnace con­trol to a communicating net­work (e.g. a condenser and thermostat) which was previ­ously connected to (and operating with nace control with valid fur­nace shared data.
Regardless, the memory card of a replacement control can­not be programmed or repro­grammed in the field with fur­nace shared data and will always remain blank. In fact, this card does not even con­tain the electronic compo­nents necessary to turn it into a valid memory card.
V. Replacement memory cards
with the appropriate furnace shared data fo model can be ordered from Pro-Stock. In the event that the original memory card is lost, the original furnace control has been replaced and there is no furnace shared data on the net­work (or the furnace is not part of a communicating network (i.e.: is not connected to a com­municating condenser and ther­mostat)), the replacement memory card must be ordered and installed into the connector at J1
5 to give the furnace valid furnace shared data. The fur­nace will not operate properly without the correct furnace shared data. When no furnace shared data is present (either at the memory card or on the net­work) a “d1” (NO SHARED DATA) fault code will be dis­played at both the thermostat active fault screen and at the furnace control (I.F.C.) seven­segment displays. Also, the homeowner will be alerte the communicating thermostat with either a CHECK SYSTEM or CHECK FURNACE error message displayed on the main screen.
If the original memory card is lost, it should be replaced even if there is valid furnace shared data on the network. The valid furnace shared data on the net­work should only be considered as a backup to the memory card.

REPLACING THE FUR­NACE CONTROL
In the event that the furnace control must be replaced, the memory card must be broken away (detached) from the original furnace control and retained with the furnace. A plastic tether with a note wrapped around the tether is used to remind the technician no from the furnace. The card can be broken away easily by putting pres­sure on the control board at dip­switch bank SW-3 with the left hand and pulling forward on the upper right-hand corner of the card with the furnace control still in place on the control board mounting plate (see Figure 64). The card will break free from the furnace control. Use this card to insert into the memory card connector labeled J15 of the replacement control board. Failure to save and connect the memory card properly to the replacement control may result in no operation or undesired operation of the furnace.
When replacing the furnace control, be sure to match the dipswitch set­tings of the original control on the replacement.
DO NOT CUT THE PLASTIC WIRE TIE USED AS A TETHER TO THE ATTACHED, BREAK-AWAY MEMO­RY CARD. DOING SO WILL DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF RETAINING THE MEMORY CARD – WHICH COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF CRITICAL DATA NECES­SARY TO OPERATE THE FUR NACE. THE CARD MUST STAY WITH THE FURNACE – EVEN WHEN THE FURNACE CONTROL (IFC) MUST BE REPLACED.
NEVER USE A CONTROL BOARD TAKEN FROM ANOTHER FUR­NACE AS A REPLACEMENT CON TROL FOR THIS FURNACE. FURNACE CONTROLS TAKEN FROM OTHER FURNACES MAY CONTAMINATE THE NETWORK WITH THE WRONG SHARED DATA WHICH CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY REPLACING THE MEMORY CARD WITH THE ORIGINAL MEMORY CARD FROM YOUR FURNACE OR A REPLACEMENT MEMORY CARD DESIGNED FOR YOUR FURNACE.

For non-communicating systems or communicating systems with a non­communicating condenser (see section titled SPECIAL CONFIGURATION –
COMMUNICATING THERMOSTAT AND FURNACE WITH A NON-COM­MUNICATING CONDENSER of this
document), the target cooling airflow
will be determined by the adjustments
of SW1-1 and SW1-2. Furnaces with
½ HP motors will have a maximum tar-
get airflow setting of 1200 CFM. Furnace with 1
HP motors will have a
maximum target airflow setting of 2000
CFM. The airflow achieved may be less than the target if the static pres­sure across the furnace is over 0.6” wc. Consult the cooling equipment instruc­tions and documents for target airflow
and adjust accordingly.
Cooling airflow for non-communicat-
ing systems can be adjusted approximately +/- 10% by using the cool trim adjustment dipswitches;
SW1-5 and SW1-6. See Figure 66. Cooling airflow for non-communicat-
ing systems is also affected by the settings of dipswitch position SW2-6. This switch will determine the appro­priate amount of airflow to be used for t
he low stage (1

FURNACE OPERATION USING NON-COMMUNICAT­ING MODULATING, SIN­GLE-STAGE, AND TWO-

The modulating furnace is capable of
operating with a single-stage or a two-
stage thermostat as well as the modu-
lating thermostat or fully communicating
thermostat specified for use with the
furnace. Fully communica
stat functions and operations are
explained in detail in the sections of
this manual titled COMMUNICATING

Based on the dipswitch settings of
SW2-2 and SW2-3, the furnace will
operate with either single-stage or two-
stage thermostats as a modulating sys-
tem using an algorithm that utilizes
three distinct firing ra
and 100% of the furnace heating
capacity (See below for operation of
each). See Figure 68 to determine
which dipswitch settings are necessary
for operation with a modulating, single-
stage or two-stage thermostat.

DIPSWITCH BANK SW3 HEAT AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: TO CLEAR FAULT CODES IN THE FURNACE CONTROL, TURN SWITCH # SW3-3 ON, OFF, ON, OFF OR OFF, ON, OFF, ON WITHIN 30 SECONDS. THE RIGHT-MOST SEVEN-SEGMENT DISPLAY WILL FLASH THE UPPER
AND LOWER HORIZONTAL MEMBERS ONCE AS CONFIRMATION THAT THE FAULTS HAVE BEEN CLEARED. BE SURE TO RETURN THE DIPSWITCH (SW3-3) TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION AFTER CLEARING THE FAULTS.
Placing SW2-4 in the “ON” position will establish the low (Y1) cooling airflow at
½ of the max cool (Y2) airflow. This set-
ting will be useful with cooling systems where two compressors are used to control two cooling stag
es (one com­pressor for first stage and two compres­sors for second stage).
SW3
Dipswitch bank SW3 is used to fine-tune the airflow in the heating mode. The switches of bank SW3 can be set to
adjust either the minimum heat rate air­flow or the maximum heat rate airflow or
both. Also, every firing rate in between
these points will be adjusted according-
ly.
SW3 will allow for airflow adjustments at
high altitude, improper temperature probe locations, or no temperature probe applications. If the temperature
rise range needs adjustment, the techni-
cian must use separate temperature probes to determine the rise range and
adjust the airflow using SW3’s dip
switches until the rise range is as close as possible to the target temperature
rise (65°F or 55°F – adjusted at dip-
switch SW1-3).
Three examples of airflow adjustment
are shown below. NOTE: All dip switches on SW3 will be
shipped in the “OFF” position.
xample 1
E PROBLEM: Temperature rise is too
high at 40% firing rate although it is within the published range at 100% fir­ing rate.
SOLUTION: More airflow is needed to lower the temperature rise at 40%.
1) Set dip switches 4 and 5 of SW3 to the “ON” position. This will produce a
7.5% increase in blower output.
2) Allow furnace to run for several min­utes at 40% firing rate until temperature probes reach equilibrium.
) If the temperature rise is still above
3 the published range, set switch 6 of SW3 to the “ON” position. This will
increase the airflow rate from +7.5% to +15% above the standard value.

EXAMPLE 2 PROBLEM: Temperature rise is too low
at 100% firing rate although it is within the published range at 40% firing rate.
SOLUTION: Less airflow is needed to increase temperature rise at 100%.
1) Set dip switch 1 of SW3 to the “ON” position, which overrides standard air­flow.
2) Leave switches 2 and 3 in the “OFF” position to decrease airflow by 7.5%.
3) Allow furnace to run for several min­utes at 100% rate
until temperature
probes reach equilibrium. 4) If the tem­perature rise is still below the published range, set switch 3 to the “ON” position. This will decrease the airflow rate from
7.5% to -15% below the standard value.
EXAMPLE 3 PROBLEM: Temperature rise is too low
at 40% firing rate and is too high at 100%.
SOLUTION: Less airflow is needed to increase temperature rise at 40% firing rate and more is needed to decrease temperature rise at 100%.
1) Set dip switch 4 of SW3 to the “ON” position to override standard airflow at 40% firing rate. Leave switches 5 and 6 in “OFF” position to decrease airflow by
7.5%.
2) Allow furnace to run for several min­utes at 40% rate until temperature probes reach equilibrium.
3) If temperature rise is still lower than the published range, set switch 6 to the “ON” position to decrease the airflow rate from -7.5% to -15% below the standard value.
4) Set dip switches 1 to the “ON” position to override standard airflow at 100% firing rate. Set switch 2 to the “ON” position to increase airflow by 7.5%.
5) Allow furnace to run for several minutes at 100% rate until temper­ature probes reach equilibrium.
6) If temperature rise is still higher than the published range, set switch 3 to “ON” position to increase the airflow rate from 7.5% to 15% above the standard value.

DUAL SEVEN-SEGMENT
DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY
The dual seven-segment diagnostic dis-
play will either display the status of the
system (e.g. “H” for Heat) or a diagnos-
tic error code in the event of an active
fault. Fault and status codes and their
meanings can be determined from Table
16. For detailed information for each fault code refer to the TROU­BLESHOOTING section of this manual. For communicating systems
code and a description can be found in the thermostat “Active Fault” display area. (See the section of this document titled “ACTIVE FAULT DISPLAY” under COMMUNICATING SYSTEMS for more information).

The rightmost decimal on the display will blink one time for every 100 CFM of
expected airflow whenever the blower
is operating. If the value is actually less than 50 CFM above any increment of 100, the value will be rounded to the lesser 100 value and the lesser value
will be displayed. For example, if the
actual CFM is blink ten times. If the actual CFM value is 1051, the decimal will blink eleven times. For better resolution, a service tool or communicating thermostat is
required and the expected CFM can be
determined within a resolution of 10 CFM. (See the section of this manual titled “USER MENUS” under “STATUS 1” or “STATUS 2” submenu “BLOWER CFM”).

FAULT CODE BUFFER
Upon power reset, the last five fault codes from the furnace will be dis­played on the seven-segment display. These will be displayed in chronological order from newest (displayed first) to oldest (displayed last).
For communicating systems, the fault code buffer can also be read at the communicating thermostat inside the furnace User Menus. The most recent
six fault codes are stored. Also dis-
played is the number of days since eac
h fault code was recorded.
NOTE: The following fault codes will not be stored back-to-back in the fault buffer. These will only be stored in the buffer if the previous fault stored was a different fault. 82, 11, 45, 46 & 57.
CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CODES FROM THE BUFFER
To clear the fault codes in the fault buffer, the dipswitch at position SW3-3 can be used. Turn the switch off, on, off, on or quickly within 30 seconds to reset the fault codes. When this is done, the right-most seven-segment dis-
play will energize the upper and lower horizontal segments for four
seconds as confirmation that the fault codes have been cleared from the buffer. Be sure to return the switch to the original position after clearing the faults.
Faults can also be cleared at the furnace User menu under the Hist selection. The seven-segment displays will again operate as described above.

COMMUNICATING SYS­TEMS
The modulating furnace is capable of communicating with a thermostat and condenser to improve cooling and heat-pump airflow, displaying active faults and active furnace information at the thermostat and improved diagnostics and trou­bleshooting.
WIRING A FURNACE FOR COM­MUNICATIONS.
Maximum wire lengths and notes
about wiring communicating sys­tems are noted below.
MAXIMUM COMMUNICATING WIRE LENGTHS (1, 2, R & C)
Max Wire Length – Thermostat to
Furnace = 100 FT @ 18 AWG*
Max Wire Length – Furnace to
Condenser = 125 FT @ 18 AWG* Notes:
1. When using twisted pairs, be sure the wires connected to pins labeled “1” (recommended wire color = green) and “2” (recom­mended wire color = yellow) are a twisted pair.
2. Wires may be solid or stranded..
3. *Wire gage smaller than 18 AWG is not approved or recomm for this application.
4. When using existing wire from a
previous installation, be sure to trim the tip of the wire back past the insulation and strip a small amount of insulation from the
wire to expose clean new copper
for the communicating connec­tions. Fresh copper must be
exposed when making the com-
municating connections or com­munications may not be properly established.
Figure 74 is the wiring diagram for connecting the furnace to an approved ClimateTalk communicat­ing thermostat and approved Rheem or Ruud communicating condenser.
The only approved configuration is to install dedicated wires directly from the furnace to the thermostat and a separate set of dedicated wires directly from the furnace to the condenser. Note: The only approved configuration requires that four dedicated wires (1, 2, R be installed from the furnace to the condenser.

STARTUP FOR SYSTEMS CON­FIGURED WITH COMMUNICA­TIONS
WARNING
!
INSTALLATION OF LINE VOLTAGE AND GAS MUST BE PERFORMED ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS WRITTEN IN THIS MANUAL. FAIL­URE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.
When the furnace is configured for communications, the components on the network (i.e. furnace, thermostat and condenser) must establish com­munications before engaging a heat (or other) thermostat demand. The procedure for establishing communi­cations is automatic and is described below. Once communica­tions is established, the start-up pro­cedure will be the same as the gen­eral start-up instructions described in the section of this manual titled
START-UP PROCEDURES
.
Once the communicating wiring is properly installed and the furnace is connected to line voltage, the sys­tem can be turned on. The thermo-
stat will display the following text:
“SEARCHING”
is displayed several times for sever-
al seconds. Next, the text
“FURNACE FOUND”
and
“AIR CONDITIONER FOUND”
or
“HEAT PUMP FOUND”
(depending on which is installed in the system) will be displayed. The process can take
several minutes
(up to a maximum of 30) to com-
plete. If these messages are not displayed within 30 minutes after
energizing the system, communica-
tions can not be established. There are many reasons why communica­tions may not be established – including improper settings of the “TERM” and “BIAS” switches (see BIAS / TERMINATION) and improp­er wiring (see WIRING A FURNACE FOR COMMUNICATIONS above).
The o
rder in which these messages
will be displayed will depend on
which components are energized
first. The order listed here assumes that the furnace and condenser are
energized at the same time. If not,
the order of display will be in the order that the components are turned on.
74
Page 75
When the system has found all neces-
sary components, the text area of the
communicating thermostat will go
blank. This is an indicator that the system is operating properly. Proceed by engag­ing a typical thermostat call to determine if operation is correct as described in
the section of this book titled START UP PROCEDURES” to test heating, cooling and fan operation and to make neces-
sary adjustments.
NOTE: When a communicating con­denser is installed with the system, a capital “C” will be displayed at the fu
r­nace seven-segment display for both low & high cooling stages.
CONTINUOUS FAN OPERATION IN
OMMUNICATING MODE
C Continuous fan operation will always
depend on the selection (Hi, Med, Low) made at the communicating thermostat
for the continuous fan speed (see instal­lation instructions for the thermostat). However, during the first few operations of continuous fan, the blower speed will
be limited to a maximum of 600 CFM for
1
2 HP motors (60KBTU and 75KBTU)
and 1000 CFM for 1 HP motors (90KBTU, 105KBTU and 120KBTU). This will continue until the high cooling call information is provided from the
condenser. Once the max cooling CFM
value has been transmitted by the con­denser (condenser must reach high stage – in heat pump or cooling), the
continuous fan will then have a maxi­mum CFM value equal to the max cool-
ing airflow from the condenser. The Hi, Med and Low selections for continuous
fan will be based on max CFM of
the condenser with Hi continuous fan speed equal to the high speed CFM of the
cooling/HP condenser. NOTE: When faults are cleared in the
furnace “SETUP” user menu, the contin­uous fan CFM will be restored to factory
default (Max = 600 CFM for 1/2 HP and
1200 CFM for 1 HP). These values will again be used to calculate continuous fan airflow until a cooling call has been established and a communicating con­den
ser sends a fan demand to the fur-
nace control.
ACTIVE FAULT CODES WITH COM­MUNICATING SYSTEMS
Two levels of fault codes exist: (1) Non-
critical and (2) Critical. In general a non-critical fault permits all (or nearly all) operations to proceed and a critical fault prevents all (or nearly all) opera-
tions from proceeding. Detailed expla-
nations are given for each fault code and how to diagnose and troubleshoot problems by fault code displayed in the “TROUBLSHOOTING” section of this manual.
Active faults of either level will be dis­played at the thermostat in the “ACTIVE FAULT” area of the thermo­stat. To enter the furnace “ACTIVE FAULT” area using a communicating thermostat, see the installation and operation instructions for that thermo­stat.
FURNACE USER MENUS NOTICE:
ALL TEMPERATURE VALUES DISPLAYED IN USER MENUS ARE DISPLAYED IN DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AT ALL TIMES. THIS IS TRUE EVEN IF THE THERMOSTAT IS SELECTED TO CELCIUS (C.). USER MENUS CAN NOT DISPLAY TEMPERA­TURES IN CELCIUS.
Systems configured for communica­tions will have some advantages over traditional control (24VAC ther­mostats) systems. One advantage is that a variety of information that can be useful for config
uring the furnace/ system and diagnostic/troubleshoot ­ing information can be displayed at the thermostat.
The bulk of this information can be found inside the user menus. The
procedure for entering (and exiting)
the user menus will vary depending on the thermostat or service tool that
is used. To enter, navigate or exit
the furnace “USER MENU”s using a communicating thermostat, see the installation and opera
tion instruc-
tions for that thermostat. Navigating the user menus is
straight-forward. The menu follows the logic tree shown in Figure 75 (a & b).
NOTE: There may be a delay of several seconds when accessing he user menus or sub-menus. This is normal.

F
” menu – This menu
gives information about the six most recent faults experienced by the fur-
nace. The most recent fault is dis­played upon entering the menu. Three
seconds later the text “DAYS“ is dis-
played followed by a number. The num­ber indicates the number of days since
that fault was experienced.
The faults can be viewed in order of occurrence. Pressing the down arrow key once will permit vie
wing of the next most recent fault. Pressing the key again will display the second most recent fault and so on.
If no fault present in the memory, the
text “NO FAULT” and “DAYS 0” will be
displayed. It is possible that there will
be less than six faults stored (if less than six faults have occurred since
installation or clearing of faults). In this
case, the existing faults will be dis-
played in the ord
er of occurrence and the remaining faults will be displayed as “NO FAULT” and “DAYS 0”.
The final item in this menu is “CLEAR FAULTS”. The options are “yES” and “no”. This item permits the faults to be
cleared so all six positions will display
“NO FAULT” and “DAYS 0”.
When faults are cleared, the right seven segment display on the furnace control will flash the upper and lower
horizontal bars once.
Note that the “FAULT HISTORY” only accumulates days when power is applied to the furnace control board.
For example, if a fault actually occurred
ten days ago and the furnace was not powered for two of the ten days, the
fault will be displayed with the text
“DAYS 8” instead o
f “DAYS 10” is dis­played to indicate the number of days since the fault occurred.

The balance point can be adjusted
at the thermostat for optimal opera­tion. The balance point is the point below which gas heat will be used and above which heat-pump heat will be used.
For dual-fuel systems, to protect equipment, the supply air sensor must be installed. When
the supply air sensor is properly installed and the system is in defrost mode, the gas heat will only operate when the outlet air is below 110°F. When the
outlet air exceeds 110°F, the gas
valve is turned off and the Air Circulating Blower (ACB) continues to run. When the supply air tempera­ture reaches 95°F, the gas heat will again be turned on. This cycle will continue until the call for defrost has ended.

START-UP PROCEDURES
IGNITOR PLACEMENT, ALIGNMENT & LOCATION
Ignition failure may be a result of improper ignitor alignment caused dur­ing a service call or other work done to the furnace in the field. When perform­ing any work on the burner, heat
exchanger, etc., the technician must
check alignment of the spark ignitor. Misalignment of the ignitor could cause a failure to light or rough ignition. The correct ignitor alignment is shown in Figure 76.
TO START THE FURNACE
DIRECT SPARK IGNITION LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a direct­spark ignition device. This device lights the main burners each time the room thermostat calls for heat. See the lighting instructions on the furnace.
During initial start-up, it is not unusual for odor or smoke to come out of any room registers. To ensure prope
is recommended to open windows and
doors, before initial firing.
The furnace has a negative pressure
switch that is a safety during a call for
heat. The induced draft blower must pull a negative pressure on the heat
exchanger to close the negative pressure
switch. The induced draft blower must maintain at least the negative pressure switch set point for the furnace to oper­ate. If the induced draft blower fails to
close or maintain the closing of the nega-
tive pressure switch, a “no heat call”
would result.

WARNING
!
SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, CLOSE THE MANUAL GAS VALVE FOR THE APPLI­ANCE BEFORE SHUTTING OFF THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. FAIL­URE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE RESULT­ING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Heating Cycle Initiation
The heating cycle is always initiated by a 24 volt signal on W of the thermostat or, for communicating systems, a mes­sage is transmitted from the thermostat to the IFC. When the controller senses 24 volts on W or the communicated message for heat call, the following sequence occurs:
• High and low pressure switches are
checked to insure contacts are open.
• Inducer is powered on high speed for
a thirty (30) second prepurge.
• Pressure switches are monitored as
the inducer creates the vacuum to close the contacts.
• The modulating gas valve is set to the highest possible rate (no flow yet).
• The controller sends a spark signal to
spark across the electrodes.
• The main solenoids on the gas valve are energized allowing gas to flow to
the burners.
• When flame is proven, the ignition control is de-energized - 8 second maximum trial time.
• The gas valve maintains 100% rate
through the warm-up period - 20 sec­onds (aka Blower Off Delay).
Heating Cycle Response
MODULATING FUNCTION:
(“W” and “V” signal inputs, refer to dip
switch set SW2 on IFC) After the warm-up period, the furnace will respond to the thermostat demand
by adjusting the gas valve pressure
and blower speed anywhere between 40% to 100% heating capacity.

After the warm-up period, the furnace will respond to the thermostat demand
by adjusting the gas valve pressure and
blower heating speeds to the “W” signal values. “W” only = 40% gas valve pres­sure and blower heating speed. “W2” = 65% gas valve pressure and blower heating speed for first five minutes and 100% thereafter. Also, if the call for heat ends, the furnace terminates at the pre­sent rate.
SINGLE-STAGE FUNCTION – NON-
COMMUNICATING SYSTEMS ONLY:
(SW2-2 and SW2-3 must both be turned “off” for this operation.)
(“W” signal only)
After the warm-up period, the furnace will respond to the thermostat demand by altering the gas valve pressure and blower speed as follows:
Phase 1: 0 to 5 minutes = 40% of furnace
capacity (gas valve output and blower spee
d)
Phase 2: 5 to 12 minutes = 65% of fur-
nace capacity (gas valve output and blower speed)
Phase 3: After 12 minutes = 100% of fur-
nace capacity (gas valve output and blower speed)
NOTE: If the call for heat ends during any
phase, the furnace will terminate imme­diately at the firing rate of that phase.

SETTING INPUT RATE
Checking furnace input is important to prevent over firing beyond its design-rated input. NEVER SET INPUT ABOVE THAT SHOWN ON THE RATING PLATE. Use the follow­ing table or formula to determine input rate. Prior to checking the fur­nace input, make certain that all other gas appliances are shut off,
with the exception of pilot burners.
Time the meter with only the furnace in operation. Start the furnace, in Furnace Test Mode, 100% rate, and measure the time required to burn one cubic foot of gas.
The furnace is shipped from the fac-
tory with #50 orifices. They are sized
for natural gas having a heating value of 1075 BTU/cu. ft. and a spe­cific gravity of .60. For high-altitude models (option 278) the furnace comes equipped with #51 orifices installed for elevations 5,000 to 5,999 ft. These orifices may still need to be changed based on both eleva­tion and gas heating value. Consult the section of this book titled “High Altitude Installation” for details.
Since heating values vary geographi­cally, the manifold pressure and/or
gas orifice size may need to be changed to adjust the furnace to its
nameplate input. The rate will also vary with altitude. Consult the local

FILTER MAINTENANCE
Instruct the user or homeowner on how to access the filters for regular maintenance.
Filter application and maintenance are critical to airflow, which may affect the heating and cooling system performance. Reduced airflow can
shorten the life of the system’s major
components, such as motor, limits,
heat exchanger, evaporator coil or
compressor. Consequently, it is rec­ommended that the return air duct system have only one filter location. The most common location will be inside the furnace or a filter base. Systems with a return-air filter grille or multiple filter grilles, can have a fil­ter installed at each of the return-air openings. Installers are instructed to show the homeowner or end user where the filter has been installed.
If high efficiency filters or electronic air cleaners are used in the system, it is important that the airflow is not
reduced in order to maximize system
performance and life. Always verify that the system’s airflow is not impaired by the filtering system that has been installed. This can be done by performing a temperature rise and temperature drop test.
Instruct the homeowner or end-user to keep the filter(s) clean at all times. Instruct them to vacuum dirt from the filter, wash with detergent and water, air dry thoroughly and reinstall.

CAUTION
DO NOT OPERATE THE SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTERS. A PORTION OF THE DUST ENTRAINED IN THE AIR MAY TEMPORARILY LODGE IN THE AIR DUCT RUNS AND AT THE SUPPLY REGISTERS. ANY RECIRCULATED DUST PARTI­CLES WILL BE HEATED AND CHARRED BY CONTACT WITH THE FURNACE HEAT EXCHANG­ER. THIS RESIDUE WILL SOIL CEILINGS, WALLS, DRAPES, CARPETS AND OTHER HOUSE­HOLD ARTICLES.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: Do Not attempt to lubri-
cate the bearings on the blower motor or the induced draft blower motor. Addition of lubricants can reduce the motor life and void the warranty.
The blower motor and induced d blower motor bearings are prelubricated by the manufacturer and do not require further attention.
The blower motor and induced draft blower motor must be cleaned periodi­cally by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier to prevent the possibility of overheating due to an accumulation of dust and dirt on the
windings or on the motor exterior. The
air filters should be kept clean. As di filters can restrict airflow. The motor depends upon sufficient airflowing across and through it to keep from over­heating.

SYSTEM OPERATION INFORMATION
Advise The Customer IMPORTANT: Replace all blower doors
and compartment covers after servicing the furnace. Do not operate the unit without all panels and doors securely in place.
1. Keep the air filters clean. The heat­ing system will operate more effi­ci
ently and more economically.
2. Arrange the furniture and drapes so that the supply air registers and the return air grilles are unobstructed.
3. Close doors and windows. This will reduce the heating load on the sys­tem.
4. Avoid excessive use of kitchen exhaust fans.
5. Do not permit the heat generated by television, lamps or radios to influence the thermostat operation.
6. Explain proper operation of the
system with constant air circulation.
ANNUAL INSPECTION
The furnace should operate for many
years without excessive scale build-up
in the flue passageways. However, it is recommended that a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier annually inspect the flue passageways, the vent system and the main burners for continued safe operation. Pay partic­ular attention to deterioration from cor­rosion or o
During the annual inspection, all electri­cal power to the furnace should be turned off and then restored. This will put the furnace into a calibration cycle on the initial call for heat. This is a five minute (or until the heat call is satisfied) cycle which allows the furnace to evalu­ate conditions It should be noted, that a calibration cycle will occur on the initial call for heat each t has been interrupted to the unit.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at
the beginning and at approximately half
way through the heating season, a visu­al inspection be made of the main burn­er flames for the desired flame appear­ance by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. If the flames are distorted and/or there is evidence of back pressure, check the vent and air system for blockage. If there is car-
bon and scale in the heat exchanger tubes, the heat exchanger assembly
should be replaced.

at the beginning of the heating sea­son, the flame sensor be cleaned with steel wool by a qualified installer, ser­vice agency or the gas supplier.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning of the heating sea­son, the condensate trap be inspect­ed for debris or blockage. A blocked condensate trap can cause water to back up into the primary heat
exchanger and lea
ping of the over temperature switches and/or pressure switches.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning of the heating sea-
son, the condensate neutralizer (if
used) be replaced by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
IMPORTANT: Drain traps will often dry out over a summer. During annual inspection the service person must verify that the trap still has wate there is not enough water (or no water) in the trap, the service person must fill it to the appropriate level.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that an annual inspection and cleaning of all furnace markings be made to assure legibility. Attach a replacement marking, which can be obtained through the distributor, if any are found to be illegible or missing.

furnace is calibrating. Calibration will occur during the first heat call after power reset or power-up. The calibration cycle allows the blower to be adjusted to deliver the proper airflow amount for a given heat rise at a given rate. Calibration takes more five minutes at a reduced input. Calibration will not occur if the SA sensor is not connected. If either (upper case "H" or lower-case "h" is blinking, it is an indication that a "V" signal is not present on a system that is non­communicating. Blinking of this code will not be considered a fault if the thermostat chosen for use is non­communicating and non-modulating. See fault codes "H" (blinking) and "h" (blinking) for more information.
CODE AT DUAL 7-SEGMENT DISPLAY OF IFC DESCRIPTION: This code indicates the furnade is in cooling mode (any stage).

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION: This message will not be displayed at the furnace. It will be displayed at the condenser but it involves
the furnace. It is an indicator that the maximum airflow that can be supplied by the furnace is not enough capacity for the condenser.
CAUSE
: The condenser selected is too large for the airflow capacity of the furnace.
FAULT
CODE
NO SHARED DATA
DESCRIPTION: This code is displayed anytime there is no shared data at the furnace or (for communicating systems
only) on the network (e.g. at the condenser or thermostat). The shared data is electronically stored data that is used to define (among other things) blower operation. Without the shared data, the furnace can not function. Note that shared data may be available even if there is no card attached to the furnace control. A missing memory card will display fault code "d4" if shared data is available on the network.
STATUS
: This is a critical fault. The air conditioner (or heat pump) condenser will not operate in communicating
mode.
SOLUTION
SOLUTION: Replace the missing memory card into the connector labeled J15 on the furnace control (I.F.C.). If the
original card can not be found, a replacement card can be ordered from ProStock. Be sure to order the correct memory card for the furnace. Note: Furnace power must be cycled off and then on again after replacing the card or the shared data will not be read.

CAUSE
: Typically, the memory card will be missing from the furnace. In most cases, the cause of this fault will be the
loss or disconnection of the original memory card from the furnace control (or I.F.C.). When the furnace control (or I.F.C.) is replaced, the memory card must be broken away, saved and installed in the replacement control. This is explained in detail in the section of this book titled REPLACING THE FURNACE CONTROL.
STATUS
: This is a critical fault. The furnace will not operate in any mode.
AIRFLOW MISMATCH
EXPECTED OPERATION: No operation (including thermostat) will be permitted without the shared data. The shared
data defines the IBM (Indoor Blower Motor) speed-torque curve. Without this information, the IBM can not operate. Refer to the section of this manual titled "INTEGRATED FURNACE CONTROL" under the subsection titled "MEMORY CARD" for details on the hierarchy of use of multiple copies of shared data and distribution (among other details) of shared data.
EXPECTED OPERATION
: No cooling or heat-pump heating operation can take place. However, all other modes of
operation (including gas heat) should proceed as normal. Refer to the section of this manual titled "INTEGRATED FURNACE CONTROL" under the subsection titled "MEMORY CARD" for details on the hierarchy of use of multiple copies of shared data and distribution (among other details) of shared data.
