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 gas.
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-conditioning 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 and air 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 INTO THE 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
2).
• 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.

WARNING
!
DO NOT INSTALL THIS FUR­NACE IN A MOBILE HOME!! THIS FURNACE IS NOT APPROVED FOR INSTALLATION IN A MOBILE HOME. DOING SO COULD CAUSE FIRE, PROPER­TY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING
!
WHEN THIS FURNACE IS INSTALLED IN A RESIDENTIAL GARAGE, IT MUST BE INSTALLED SO THE BURNERS AND IGNITION SOURCE ARE LOCATED NO LESS THAN 18 INCHES ABOVE THE FLOOR. THIS IS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF IGNITING FLAMMABLE VAPORS WHICH MAY BE PRESENT IN A GARAGE. ALSO, THE FURNACE MUST BE LOCATED OR PROTECTED TO AVOID PHYSICAL DAMAGE BY VEHICLES. FAILURE TO FOL­LOW THESE WARNINGS CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAM­AGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
1. 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. Extend this auxil­iary 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 tubes resulting in corro­sion 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 pre­vent 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
manufacturer’s instructions for the entire length of drain pipe in the unconditioned space.
c. The heat tape should be rated

Proper airflow is required for the correct operation of this furnace. Too little airflow can cause erratic oper­ation and can damage the heat exchanger. The supply and return duct must carry the correct amount of air for heating and cooling if summer air con­ditioning is used.
Size the ducts according to acceptable industry standards and methods. The total static pressure drop of the supply and return duct should not exceed 0.2" w.c.
WARNING
!
NEVER ALLOW THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM THE FLUE TO ENTER THE RETURN AIR DUCTWORK OR THE CIRCU­LATED AIR SUPPLY. ALL RETURN DUCTWORK MUST BE ADE­QUATELY SEALED AND SECURED TO THE FURNACE WITH SHEET METAL SCREWS; AND JOINTS, TAPED. SECURE ALL OTHER DUCT JOINTS WITH APPROVED CONNECTIONS AND SEAL AIRTIGHT. WHEN A FUR­NACE IS MOUNTED ON A PLAT­FORM WITH RETURN THROUGH THE BOTTOM, IT MUST BE SEALED AIRTIGHT BETWEEN THE FURNACE AND THE RETURN AIR PLENUM. THE FLOOR OR PLATFORM MUST PROVIDE PHYSICAL SUPPORT OF THE FURNACE WITHOUT SAGGING, CRACKS, OR GAPS AROUND THE BASE, PROVIDING A SEAL BETWEEN THE SUPPORT AND THE BASE.
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.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUM­STANCES, CONNECT RETURN OR SUPPLY DUCTWORK TO OR FROM ANY OTHER HEAT PRO­DUCING DEVICE SUCH AS A FIREPLACE INSERT, STOVE, ETC. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, EXPLOSION, PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
IMPORTANT: Some high efficiency filters
have a greater than normal resistance to airflow. This can adversely affect furnace operation. Be sure to check airflow if using any filter other than the factory-pro­vided filter.

WARNING
!
IN CANADA, PRODUCTS CERTI­FIED FOR INSTALLATION AND INTENDED TO BE VENTED WITH PLASTIC VENT SYSTEMS (PVC, CPVC) MUST USE VENT SYS­TEMS THAT ARE CERTIFIED TO THE STANDARD FOR TYPE BH GAS VENTING SYSTEMS, ULC S636.
THE COMPONENTS OF THE CERTIFIED MATERIAL MUST NOT BE INTERCHANGED WITH OTHER VENT SYSTEMS OR UNLISTED PIPE/FITTINGS.
PLASTIC COMPONENTS AND SPECIFIED PRIMERS AND GLUES OF THE CERTIFIED SYS­TEM MUST BE FROM A SINGLE SYSTEM MANUFACTURER AND NOT INTERMIXED WITH OTHER SYSTEM MANUFACTURER’S PARTS. EXCEPTIONS INCLUDE
THE RXGY-G02, RXGY-G02C AND RXGY-E03A WHICH CAN BE MIXED WITH OTHER MANUFAC­TURER’S COMPONENTS PRO­VIDED THEY ARE CONSTRUCT­ED FROM LIKE MATERIALS.
NOTE: INLET AIR PIPING IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A PART OF THE “VENTING SYSTEM”. THE REQUIREMENT THAT VENT MATE­RIAL BE CERTIFIED TO ULC S636 DOES NOT APPLY TO INLET AIR PIPING.
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 properly vent the 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 for 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 common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom 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 that 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 sys­tem. 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.
NOTE: For U.S. installations only. Cellular core PVC is also approved for use. It must be schedule 40 PVC-DWV cellular pipe manufactured under ASTM F-891.
JOINING PIPE AND FITTINGS
WARNING
!
PVC SOLVENT CEMENTS AND PRIMERS ARE HIGHLY FLAM­MABLE. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND DO NOT ASSEMBLE COMPONENTS NEAR HEAT SOURCE OR AN OPEN FLAME. DO NOT SMOKE. AVOID SKIN OR EYE CONTACT. OBSERVE ALL CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS PRINTED ON MATERIAL CON­TAINERS. FAILURE TO FOL­LOW THESE GUIDELINES MAY RESULT IN FIRE, EXPLOSION OR ASPHYXIATION CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
In Canada, only approved vent mate­rials, primers and solvents approved to ULC S636 must be used for vent­ing.
All pipe, fittings, solvent cement, primers and procedures must con­form to American National Standard Institute and American Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards as shown below:
IMPORTANT: The plastic combustion air and venting components are MADE of PVC. If using ABS piping, ensure that the solvent cement is compatible for joining PVC to ABS components or use a mechanical connection that can withstand the vent temperatures and is corrosion resistant.

EQUIVALENT VENTING ASSIGNING VENT LENTGH TO
ELBOWS
This section applies to venting tables in both the NON-DIRECT and DIRECT VENT tables in this book. Vent tables are provided only in equivalent length and do not reference elbows or a maximum number of elbows. Instead, elbows are assigned a length as described below. The length determined for each elbow is subtracted from the max vent length in the tables to determine how much straight vent pipe (in ft) can still be used.
There are several different types of elbows that can be used for constructing a vent system. The drawings below show the dimensions of common ¼ bend and ¼ bend long sweep 90 degree elbows from ASTM 3311, Standard Specification for Drain, Waste and Vent (DWV) Plastic Fittings Patterns.
A
long sweep ¼ bend 90 degree (long radius) elbow has an equivalent length of 5 feet of straight pipe for either 2 or 3 inch plastic pipe. A standard 90° elbow has an equivalent length of 10 feet of pipe. This equivalent length can be used in circumstances where it might be necessary to lengthen the vent at the outside of the structure, such as in areas with large accumulations of snow in winter. Table 1 shows the equivalent lengths of different types of elbows:
Table 1
Fitting Type Equivalent Length
45° Standard Elbow 5 feet of pipe 90° Standard Elbow 10 feet of pipe 45° Long-Sweep Elbow 2-1/2 feet of pipe 90° Long-Sweep Elbow 5 feet of pipe
Properly seal all joints in the PVC vent using the following materials and pro­cedures:
PVC CLEANER-PRIMER AND PVC MEDIUM-BODY SOLVENT CEMENT
NOTE: Follow vent manufacturer instructions for ULC S636 vent instal­lations.
IMPORTANT: After cutting pipe, remove all ragged edges and burrs. This is important to prevent increase in pressure drop throughout the sys­tem.
1. Cut pipe end square. Chamfer edge of pipe. Clean fitting socket and pipe joint area of all dirt, grease and moisture.
2. After checking pipe and socket for proper fit, wipe socket and pipe with cleaner-primer. Apply a liberal coat of primer to inside surface of socket and outside of pipe. READ INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THE PRIMER FOR PROPER INSTALLATION.
3. Apply a thin coat of cement even­ly in the socket. Quickly apply a heavy coat of cement to the pipe end and insert pipe into fitting with a slight twisting movement until it bottoms out.
NOTE: Cement must be fluid; if not, recoat with new cement.
4. Hold the pipe in the fitting for 30 seconds to prevent the tapered socket from pushing the pipe out of the fitting.

5. Wipe all excess cement from the joint with a rag. Allow 15 minutes before handling. Cure time varies according to fit, temperature and humidity.
NOTE: Stir the solvent cement fre­quently while using. Use a natural bristle, one inch wide brush or the applicator supplied with the can.
IMPORTANT: For Proper Installation DO NOT use solvent cement that has become curdled, lumpy or thickened. DO NOT thin. Observe shelf precautions printed on containers. For application below 32°F, use only low-temperature­type solvent cement.
For correct installation of the vent pipe, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturers of the pipe, primer and solvent.
EQUIVALENT VENTING
ASSIGNING VENT LENGTH TO ELBOWS
This section applies to venting tables in both the NON-DIRECT and DIRECT VENT tables in this book. Vent tables are provided only in equivalent length and do not reference elbows or a maxi­mum number of elbows. Instead, elbows are assigned a length as described below. The length determined for each elbow is subtracted from the max vent length in the tables to determine how much straight vent pipe (in ft) can still be used.

D2665
There are several different types of elbows that can be used for con­structing a vent system. The draw­ings below show the dimensions of common 1/4 bend and 1/4 bend long sweep 90 degree elbows from ASTM 3311, Standard Specification for Drain, Waste and Vent (DWV) Plastic Fittings Patterns.
A long sweep 1/4 bend 90 degree (long radius) elbow has an equivalent length of 5 feet of straight pipe for either 2 or 3 inch plastic pipe. A stan­dard 90° elbow has an equivalent length of 10 feet of pipe. This equiva­lent length can be used in circum­stances where it might be necessary to lengthen the vent at the outside of the structure, such as in areas with large accumulations of snow in win­ter. Table 1 shows the equivalent lengths of different types of elbows:
With the equivalent length vent concept a vent system can be used any number of elbows and length of straight pipe as long as the maximum equivalent vent length is not exceeded.
Example: An RGFG-06 direct vent installation
needs a 31 foot long vent run with 5 elbows and 2 inch pipe.
31 feet of 2 inch pipe = 31
5 - 1/4 bend long sweep
elbows = 25
Since the maximum equivalent vent length for an RGFG-06 is 60 feet, this installation is acceptable.
If the same installation tried to use standard elbows: 31 feet of 2 inch pipe = 31
5 - standard 90 degree

COMBUSTION AIR
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, ANSI 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.
The following types of installation (but not limited to the following) REQUIRE OUTDOOR AIR for combustion, due 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 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
• 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, cleaning sol­vents, 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.
WARNING
!
ALL FURNACE INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, CAN/CSA B149.1 (CANADA) AND LOCAL CODES TO PROVIDE ADE­QUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTI­LATION AIR FOR THE FURNACE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN EXPLOSION, FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Combustion air requirements are determined by whether the furnace is in an open (unconfined) area or in a confined space such as a closet or small room.
FURNACE LOCATED IN AN UNCONFINED SPACE
Using indoor air for combustion.
An unconfined space must have at least 50 cubic feet for each 1,000 BTUH of the total input for all appliances in the space. Here are a few examples of the room sizes required for different inputs. The sizes are based on 8 foot ceilings. See Table 2.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
IMPORTANT: When installed as a non-
direct furnace, only vertical terminations are allowed. Do not use horizontal termi­nations 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 on 90, 105 and 120 kBtu furnaces, 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
maximum level of snow accu­mulation.
In Canada, the pipe must extend a minimum of 18” above the roof or maximum 24” above the roof with­out supports.
10. No screens may be used to cover combustion air or exhaust.
VVEENNTTIINNGG GGUUIIDDEELLIINNEESS -- NNoonn--DDiirreecctt VVeenntt
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.
3. Vertical vent piping is preferred.
4. Install all horizontal piping as fol­lows:
• 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 below­freezing temperatures are expected, with 1" thick medium density, foil faced fiber glass or equivalent 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 7. Table 7 lists the maximum allowable exhaust vent pipe length for the number of elbows used, based on the furnace size.
IMPORTANT: Use Only standard vertical terminations when installing the modulating furnace as a non­direct vent appliance.

WARNING
!
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS SEC­TION. FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENT THIS FURNACE CAN CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OR AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE, RESULTING IN PROP­ERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Direct vent installations require a dedi­cated combustion air and venting sys­tem. All air for combustion is taken from outside and all combustion prod­ucts are discharged to the outdoors.
Therefore, no ventilation or combus­tion air openings are required.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
All exhaust piping must be installed in compliance with Part 7, “Venting of Equipment,” of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NPFA 54, 90A, 90B ANSI Z223.1-, CAN/CSA B149.1 (Canada), local codes or ordi­nances and these instructions.
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 approved PVC pipe and other pipes.
2. Use only medium or long radius
sweep elbows.
NOTE: For all installations. Extend
the combustion air exhaust pipe a minimum of 18" vertically above the furnace cabinet before turning the vent.
3. Vertical piping is preferred.
4. Install all horizontal piping as fol­lows:
• 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.
In Canada, refer to manufacturer’s instructions for supporting ULC S636 venting.

HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
All horizontal venting must be done with direct venting (2 pipe). Furnaces installed as non-direct vent must be terminated vertically.
STANDARD HORIZONTAL TERMINA TIONS
NOTE: A 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-D03Aand RXGY-D04A.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS HORIZONTAL DIRECT VENTS
CAUTION
!
THE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS AND MOISTURE IN THE FLUE GASES WILL CONDENSE AS THEY LEAVE THE TERMINATION. THE CONDENSATE CAN FREEZE ON THE EXTERIOR WALL, UNDER THE EAVES AND ON SURROUNDING OBJECTS. SOME DISCOLORATION TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING IS TO BE EXPECTED. HOWEVER, IMPROPER LOCATION OR INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN STRUCTURAL OR EXTERIOR FINISH DAMAGE TO THE BUILD­ING AND MAY RECIRCULATE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION INTO THE COMBUSTION AIR TERMINAL AND FREEZE.
NOTE: In Canada vent terminations
must be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA B149.1 Gas Installation Code.
The vent must be installed with the fol­lowing minimum clearances. See Figures 15 and 16.
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 com­bustion 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 vent location should be governed by the following guide­lines.
1. Do not terminate under any kind of patio or deck (exceptions for Canada are permitted under CAN/CSA B149.1). 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 prevailing winter winds. This will help prevent mois­ture 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 7.
5. Do not locate too close to shrubs as condensate may stunt or kill them.
FIGURE 15
MOISTURE ZONES
6. Minimum vertical clearances of 1 foot are recommended for over­hangs up to 1 foot horizontal. The vertical clearance should be increased equally for each addi­tional 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 15.
8. Painted surfaces must be sound and in good condition with no cracking, peeling, etc. Painted surfaces will require mainte­nance.
9. Do not expose 3" x 2" reducer/ bushing to outdoor ambient tem­peratures.
MULTIVENTING
IF VENTING TWO OR MORE FUR­NACES NEAR EACH OTHER IS REQUIRED, EACH FURNACE MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY VENTED – NO COMMON VENTING IS PERMIT­TED. See Figures 17 and 18 for posi-
tioning of the terminations. When

CONNECTING TO FURNACE
IMPORTANT: Clean and deburr all
pipe cuts. The shavings must not be allowed to block the exhaust, inlet or condensate drain pipes.
IMPORTANT: When indoor combus­tion air is used, the inlet air opening at the furnace must be protected from accidental blockage. On downflow models, install a double elbow in the top inlet air opening.
SEE CONCENTRIC VENT SECTION ON PAGE 23 FOR MORE INFORMATION.
UPFLOW MODELS
The exhaust air pipe connection is a 2-in. female PVC pipe fitting extend­ing through the left nace top plate. See Figure 19. This opening has a protective cap which should be removed just prior to installing the exhaust pipe. When 2­in. pipe is used, connect it directly to this fitting. When 3-in. pipe is used, connect a 2 to 3-in. coupling to this fitting with a short piece of 2-in. PVC pipe.

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 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 con­densate neutralizer cartridge in the drain line. Install cartridge in horizontal position only. Also install an overflow line if routing to a floor drain (see Figure 21). 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.
2" riser for upflow models

UPFLOW MODELS
The condensate drain trap is located in the blower compartment on the left- hand side of the jacket. A short piece of 1⁄2-in. PVC pipe and a 1⁄2-in. tee are provided. Connect the 1⁄2-in. pipe to the elbow on the trap and the tee to this pipe so that the open end is upward. Run a drain tube from the bottom of the tee to a floor drain or condensate pump.
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.
28
IMPORTANT: There are two options when choosing a height for the con­densate riser:
CONDENSATE OVERFLOW: With a
1
5
⁄2inch riser installed above the tee, a blocked drain will result in overflow from the riser.
FURNACE SHUTDOWN: To cause the furnace to shut down when a blocked drain is present, install a riser which is a minimum of 10
13
⁄16”. 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.
Use a solvent cement that is compati­ble with PVC material. Cut the drain hoses to the appropriate length and connect to the trap with hose clamps. Tighten the clamps with pliers and check for leaks after attaching.
FIGURE 22
UPFLOW OPPOSITE SIDE CONDENSATE TRAP CONNECTION (NO KIT REQUIRED)
REVERSING THE TRAP
UPFLOW MODELS
The trap may be moved to the right side for right-side drainage. Open the knockout for the drain on the right side of the cabinet. Remove the bracket holding the trap from the left side. Seal the left side drain hole with a plug provided in the cloth bag with the furnace. Position the mounting bracket and trap so that the drain elbow is centered in the hole on the right. See Figure 22.
Drill two holes in the cabinet to mount the bracket. Mount the trap and brack­et to the right side with the drain elbow pointing through the knockout. Connect the above. Route the drain hoses behind the top of the electric box, cut to the appropriate length, and connect to the trap with hose clamps.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect into a common drain line with an air condi­tioner evaporator coil drain located above the furnace. A blocked or restricted drain line can result in over­flow of the coil pan and negate the furnace blocked drain shutoff control.

to the combination gas valve on the furnace. Refer to Table 9 for the recom-
mended gas pipe size for natural gas and Table 10 for L.P. See Figure 23 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 turn the gas 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.
IMPORTANT: 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 con­nector. It is important to have all
openings in the cabinet burner com­partment sealed for proper furnace 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 THIS WARNING 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.

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 facto­ry for use on natural gas only. For use on LP gas, a proper conversion is required.
Conversion of the furnace for use with LP gas requires conversion kit RXGJ- FP27. (Gas valve not required.)
!
CAUTION
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2000 FT REQUIRE THAT THE FURNACE INPUT RATING BE ADJUSTED AND THAT THE SIZE OF THE BURNER ORIFICES BE RE-CALCULATED BASED ON ELEVATION AND GAS HEATING VALUE. THE BURNER ORI­FICES MAY (OR MAY NOT) NEED TO BE CHANGED. SEE THE SECTION TITLED “HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLA­TIONS” OF THIS BOOK FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
High altitude installations above 5,000 feet are not permitted with RGFG fur­nace models.
NOTE: Order the correct LP conver­sion kit available from the local distrib­utor. Furnace conversion to LP gas
must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
To change orifice spuds for conversion to LP:
1. Shut off the manual gas valve and disconnect the gas line at the union ahead of the unit gas valve.
2. Remove the gas valve and mani­fold assembly.
3. Replace the orifice spuds.
4. For servo (stepper) controlled gas valve (fuel code HA or HB): Install the jumper supplied with the kit into the valve as shown in Figures 25 and 27. Make sure jumper connects the two pins and verify by checking manifold pres­sure at high fire. It should be approx. 10” w.c.
5. Re-attach the manifold assembly to the unit and connect the gas line to the gas valve.
6. Place the conversion label, includ­ed in the kit, adjacent to the CSA rating plate. Also for servo con­trolled gas valves only (fuel code HA or HB) be sure to install the label titled “LP” over the hole where the jumper is inserted in Item 4 above.

7. Check unit for leaks.
8. Follow lighting instructions to put the furnace into operation.
9. Check manifold pressure.
Consult Tables 13 (U.S.) and 14 (Canada), if there is any question con­cerning orifice sizing.
NOTE: LP orifices are included in the kit but they may need to be exchanged based on heating value and/or eleva­tion. LP orifices must be selected based on the altitude of the installation. See orifice chart.
NOTE ABOUT LP CONVERSION OF STEPPER-CONTROLLED MODULATING GAS VALVE: To
convert the stepper-controlled mod­ulating 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 checked by the installer when con­verting the furnace for LP operation. Figures 26 and 27 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 con­vert to LP the label over the jumper well will need to be removed.

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 any 120 VAC terminal to any neu­tral connection.
4. The voltage should be a nominal 115 volts (acceptable 105-120VAC).
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 voltage polarity, or phasing, 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 105-120VAC).
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 check the building wiring.
Control Voltage Check
1. With the blower compartment door off, manually hold the push button door switch in.
2. Call for heat at the thermostat. (Does not include communicating thermostats.)
3. With the unit operating, use a volt­meter to measure the voltage from control voltage terminal “W” to ter­minal “C” on the furnace control board.
4. The voltage should be a nominal 24 volts (Acceptable 18-30 VAC).
This test should be made with the unit
in full operation.

ACCESSORIES
FIELD-INSTALLED OPTION ACCESSORIES
TWINNING: Twinning is NOT permitted
on any modulating furnace model.
ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER NOTE: There is a 30 second lag time for
energizing the Electronic Air Cleaner. E.A.C. will not energize until 30 seconds after the Indoor Blower Motor (IBM).
Line voltage power is supplied from the terminal “EAC”, see Figure 30, and a neutral 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.
The electronic air cleaner will not be energized until 20-30 seconds after main blower has been energized.
HUMIDIFICATION AND DEHUMIDIFI­CATION
Note: The humidifier output will be energized briefly during a heat call while the igniter is on (igniter warm-up period) even when there is no demand for humidification.
the
The HUM output 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.
An optional 24VAC humidistat can be installed as shown in Figures 31 thru 34 (II thru IV). With the optional humidis-

permanently reduced by approximately 15% giving less than optimal perfor­mance and possibly causing problems. 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 condensers, dehumidification is controlled by the condenser and is not affected by the position of dipswitch S5-1 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 humidification control is required. To wire the furnace for humidification control using either the (-)HC-TST412MDMS or the (-)HC-TST550CMMS, refer to the wiring diagram in Figure 31(I). Be sure not
install the jumper between “R” and “HUM STAT” on the furnace control. 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 operation during heating, refer to Figure 31 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 CONTROLLED
HUMIDIFIER OPERA­TION USING A HUMIDISTAT (REQUIRES OPTION­AL HUMIDISTAT). Controlled humidifica­tion can be accom­plished using a humidistat as shown in Figures 32 or 33. These figures show installation of a humid­ifier with external and internal power sup­plies respectively. Dehumidification oper­ation will be disabled if the dipswitch S5-1 is in the “OFF” position. If this switch is in the “ON” position, dehu­midification control will be active.
B. DEHUMIDIFICATION CONTROL
WITH NO HUMIDIFICATION
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.
to
38
B2. WITH NON-COMMUNICATING
THERMOSTAT (REQUIRES OPTIONAL HUMIDISTAT).
Control of dehumidification only (no humidification) can be accomplished by installing an optional humidistat as shown in Figure 34. The dipswitch S5-1 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 permanently reduced by approximately 15%.
C. HUMIDIFICATION AND DEHUMIFI-
CATION CONTROL (REQUIRES OPTIONAL HUMIDIFI­ER).
C1. 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. Do not pur­chase the latter thermostat if humidification control is required. To wire the furnace for humidification and dehumidifi­cation control using the former thermostats, refer to the wiring diagram in Figure 31. Be sure not
to install the jumper between “R” and “HUM STAT” on the furnace control.
Installing this jumper will oper­ate the humidifier any time there is a heat call and dehu-
midification 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-COMMUNICATING
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 32 or 33. These figures show installation of a humidifier with external and internal power supplies respectively. Dehumidification operation will be disabled if the dipswitch S5­1 is in the “OFF” position. If this switch is in the “ON” position, dehumidification control will be active.

CAUTION
INSTALLATION OF THIS FURNACE AT ALTITUDES ABOVE 2000 FT (610 m) SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES OR, IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR NATIONAL STANDARD OF CANADA, NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE INSTALLATION CODE, CAN B149.1.
Elevations above 2000 ft. require the furnace to be de-rated 4% per thousand feet. NOTE: Factory installed orifices are calculated and sized based on a sea level Natural Gas heating value of 1075 BTU per cubic ft. Regional reduced heating values may nullify the need to change orifices except at extreme alti­tudes. Table 11 shows some quick con­versions based on elevation and gas heating value. This table is combined and simplified from Tables F1 and F4 of the National Fuel Gas Code.
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 11 and
12. 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 Heating Value: 900

Final Firing Rate per Burner
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
burner capacity by the Cubic Foot value for the Heat Value. Once you have either the Cubic Foot Value or the Heat Value you can estimate the Sea
Level orifice for the site. To select the corresponding high altitude orifice, locate the site elevation on the chart above and the orifice required at Sea
Level from your calculation in the first column. The correct high altitude orifice that must be installed in each individual burner is the intersection of
these two points on the chart above.
LP GAS AT HIGH ALTITUDE ELEVATIONS IN THE U.S.
LP Gas is a manufactured gas that has consistent heating value across most regions.
The National Fuel Gas Code (N.F.G.C.) guidelines are used with the following exception:
The recommended LP Gas high altitude orifice selections differ slightly in that the NFGC LP orifice chart, as they are not accurate for the RGFG gas fur­naces. The National Fuel Gas Code LP orifices are based on an 11” of water column pressure at the orifice, which differs from products that use 10” of water column at the orifice. This differ­ence requires a deviation from the NFGC orifice size recommendations.
ALTERNATE METHOD FOR CANADIAN DERATE
In Canada, unless an orifice change is specifically mandated by local codes, an alternate method of altitude deration through a reduction in manifold pres­sure is acceptable as described in Table 14.
The information in Table 14 is based on a heating value of 1000 BTU per cubic feet of natural gas, and 2500 BTU per cubic feet of LP gas.
IMPORTANT: Actual input rates must be measured on-site with manifold pressure adjustment to ensure that an actual 10% reduction in input rate is
achieved. The Sea Level input should still be reduced by 4% per thousand ft. and the orifice size must be selected based on the reduced input selection shown in Table 13.

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 air is routed 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 manufacturer provides a limit switch (usually provided by the zoning manufacturer), this limit must be installed in the system to pre­vent the furnace from overheating.
FURNACE INSTALLATION WITH NON-COMMUNICAT­ING HIGH-EFFICIENCY PREMIUM COOLING OR HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS
Furnace installation with Rheem/Ruud
-ASL or -ARL outdoor condensing units can provide high efficiency (up to 16 SEER) cooling operation when com­bined with proper evaporator coil. For listed cooling equipment combinations, see the -ARA or -ARL specification sheets and Tables 15 and 16 of this document. Using Tables 15 and 16 and literature provided with the cooling equipment, the installer needs to make sure that the proper evaporator coil, condensing coil and airflow is config­ured to achieve rated efficiency.
In accordance with Rheem/Ruud cool­ing equipment installation instructions, do not install an evaporator coil or coil casing to the furnace which is smaller in width than the furnace cabinet.
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 S5-2 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 purchased for a listing of the SEER ratings for a specific combination.

SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY:
The furnace control displays status and diagnostic information at the Seven Segment Display. When viewing the display the observer should be aware that the top of the digit is to the left and the bottom of the digit is to the right (upflow models). Figure 37 details proper reading of the diagnostic dis­play. Operation is described in detail below:
STANDBY MODE:
“0” displayed steady.
HEATING MODE:
“H” is displayed followed by a one digit number. The number represents the current firing rate. For example “H7”
would represent heating mode operat­ing at 70% of firing rate (“H0” repre­sents 100% heat). This is then toggled with two numbers which indicate the CFM of the main circulating blower divided by 100. For example, if “18” is displayed, the furnace is attempting to deliver between 1750 and 1849 cfm of air.
For example, if “H7” is displayed fol­lowed by “14” (toggling), this would indicate that the furnace is operating at 70% heat with the airflow operating at 1400 CFM.
COOLING MODE:
“C” is displayed. This is then toggled with two numbers which indicate the CFM of the main circulating blower divided by 100. For example, if “18” is displayed, the furnace is attempting to deliver 1800 CFM of air.
For example, if “C” is displayed fol­lowed by “12” (toggling), this would indicate that the system is in air con­ditioning mode with the airflow oper­ating at 1200 CFM.
HEAT PUMP HEAT MODE (COMMUNICATING DUAL-FUEL SYSTEMS):
“HP” is displayed. This is then tog­gled with two numbers which indi­cate the CFM of the main circulating blower divided by 100. For example, if “18” is displayed, the furnace is attempting to deliver 1800 CFM of air.
For example, if “HP” is displayed fol­lowed by “12” (toggling), this would indicate that the system is in heat­pump heat mode with the airflow operating at 1200 CFM.

with
24 VAC THERMOSTAT (TSTAT) INPUTS (E-115)
These connections are used with any tra­ditional 24VAC one-stage or two-stage thermostat or the modulating, non-com­municating, thermostat specified for this modulating furnace. Fully communicating thermostats must be connected to the COMM NETWORK CONNECTION (see section titled COMMUNICATING SYS- TEMS of this document for details). Optimum heating performance will be realized only with the fully modulating thermostat (either communicating or non­communicating).
W1, Y1, Y2, G, C and R are the tradition­al thermostat inputs used in nearly all HVAC equipment. Installation of the ther­mostat to these connections is straight­forward and simple.
HUM STAT – This terminal is used to connect the output of a humidistat to the furnace control to control humidification and/or dehumidification. Optional equip­ment is required for these features. Please see the section titled HUMIDIFIC- TION AND DEHUMIDIFICATION of this document for more details.
V/W2 – This terminal is used to connect the modulating signal (V) from a non­communicating, fully modulating thermo­stat specified for use with this furnace. It is used to transmit the firing rate (deter­mined by the thermostat) to the furnace control. In addition, a traditional 24VAC signal from a two-stage thermostat termi­nal labeled “W2” can be connected to this terminal to activate the timed staging feature of this furnace.
Note: Do not apply 24vac to the V/W2 terminal (as with a jumper to R for diag­nostic purposes) when a non-communi­cating, modulating thermostat is installed.
B – This terminal is used to pass a reversing valve signal to a condenser. It is only a holding place for connecting a wire from the thermostat and a wire from the condenser. It does not change the airflow of the cool/heat commands.
SPECIAL CONFIGURATION – COMMUNICATING THER­MOSTAT AND FURNACE WITH A NON­COMMUNICATING CONDENSER
Y1 – This terminal may be used to con-
nect directly to a non-communicating condenser when a communicating ther­mostat is installed to the furnace but a non-communicating condenser is installed in the system. While the opti­mum configuration is with a communi­cating condenser connected to the net­work, there may be installations where this is not desired. In these cases, the thermostat will be communicating with the furnace control and the furnace control will energize the condenser as necessary (the additional relays have been added to the furnace control to allow this operation).
The thermostat connection labeled “Y1” on the I.F.C. is normally an input to the furnace control to turn on the blower when they are energized. However, in this configuration, this (normally) input becomes an output to energize the condenser when a cooling call has been sent from the communicating thermostat.
When this configuration is desired, use the wiring diagram in Figure 38 to con­nect the thermostat and condenser to the furnace control.
NOTE: A heat pump condenser cannot be installed with this configuration. There is no control for the reversing valve.
FUSE (F1)
A three-amp automotive-style (ATC blade type) fuse is supplied on-board the furnace control. This fuse should provide protection from short-circuits on the control board and associated 24 VAC wiring.
115 VAC TERMINALS
These terminals supply 115 VAC to the furnace control from the input at the junction box of the furnace. Additionally, spare terminals are provid­ed for use with electronic air cleaners and other accessories as needed (Check the voltage rating of your equip­ment.)
INDUCED DRAFT MOTOR (INDUCER) CONTROL OUT­PUT (E8)
This four-pin connector is white in color and provides control command to both the high and low speed inducer out­puts.
For troubleshooting purposes, follow the wiring diagram and troubleshooting flowchart supplied in this manual and on the inside of the furnace blower door. Additionally, the pin designations for the connector are specified below:
Pin 1 to Inducer 12V
Pin 2 to Inducer Rx Pin 3 to inducer GND Pin 4 to inducer Tx
NEUTRAL TERMINALS
These terminals connect 115VAC neutral to the furnace control from the input at the junction box of the furnace. Additionally, spare termi­nals are provided for use with elec­tronic air cleaners, humidifiers and other accessories as needed (Check the voltage rating of your equip­ment.)
ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER (E.A.C.) OUT­PUT (E-103)
This output is used to energize an electronic air cleaner. The output will provide 1.0 amp at 115 VAC. This output is energized any time the blower motor is above 40% of maximum airflow capacity. Airflow below this value is not considered to be enough for a typical electronic air cleaner to perform properly.
For 1/2HP motors – Electronic air cleaner is energized any time the blower is above 480 CFM (1200 CFM x 0.4)
For 1 HP motors - Electronic air cleaner is energized any time the blower is above 800 CFM (2000 CFM x 0.4)
HUMIDIFIER OUTPUT (E-104)
Details about the humidifier outputs and wiring diagrams can be found in the section titled HUMIDIFICATION AND DEHUMIDIFICATION of this document.
STEPPER GAS VALVE CONTROL (E113)
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 of 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.
For troubleshooting purposes, follow the wiring diagram and troubleshoot­ing flowchart supplied in this manual and on the inside of the furnace blower door. Additionally, the pin designations for the connector are specified below:

COMMUNICATING ECM MOTOR COMMUNICATIONS (CONTROL) CONNECTION (E114)
This connector sends and receives messages to and from the blower motor through a single peer-to-peer network. The blower motor does not
communicate on the same commu­nications buss as the furnace, con­denser and thermostat. Further, a different communications protocol is used.
For troubleshooting purposes, follow the wiring diagram and troubleshoot­ing flowchart supplied in this manual and on the inside of the furnace blower door. Additionally, the pin designations for the connector are specified below:

WARNING
!
DO NOT CONNECT A TELEPHONE OR PHONE LINE TO THE CONNEC­TOR (JACK) AT POSITION E109. DOING SO COULD CAUSE IRREPRABLE DAMAGE TO EITHER THE FURNACE CONTROL (I.F.C.) OR THE TELEPHONE (OR TELEPHONE LINE) OR BOTH.
This connector is used to program the furnace control at the factory. It can also be used to connect a field service diagnostic tool. Unfortunately, this tool was not available at the time of this pub­lication but should be available in the future. Otherwise, this connection is not to be used in the field. It should never be connected to a telephone line or a telephone. Doing so could damage the furnace control or the telephone (or tele­phone lines) or both.
COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK CONNECTIONS
These connections are used when installing a communicating thermostat specified for use with this furnace. Further, normally, thermostat connec­tions will not be made at the legacy 24 V Thermostat Inputs when using a com­municating thermostat. (Except under one special circumstance where a com­municating thermostat and non-commu­nicating condenser are used. (See Figure 38 and the section of this docu­ment titled SPECIAL CONFIGURATION
– COMMUNICATING THERMOSTAT AND FURNACE WITH A NON-COM­MUNICATING CONDENSER.)
The terminal labeled “1” on the furnace control connects directly to the terminal labeled “1” on the thermostat and “1” on the condenser. The remaining connec­tions follow the same pattern.
Follow the wiring diagram in Figure 45 for connections of the communications network.

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”.

If the L.E.D. does not blink, communi­cations can not be established. The problem may be that the wires at the E-115 connector “1” and “2” on the I.F.C. may be reversed. Check to make sure that wiring is from “1” on the IFC leads to “1” on the thermostat and con­denser (if present) and the same fol­lows for connections “2”, “R” and “C”.
MEMORY CARD CONNECTOR (E117)
This connector is used to insert a mem­ory 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 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 programmed 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
is defined as data
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 defined 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 correct. This means, for example, furnace shared data for a 120KBTU upflow furnace could be installed and recognized as valid fur­nace shared data 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 question. 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 EXCESSIVE 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 mem ory 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 microprocessor (a mirror of the most recent memory card with blower 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.
1. If no memory card present a. Furnace shared data from the
“network” is used. Furnace net work shared data 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 fur-
nace 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 furnace
control which has had a valid card previously (either attached or inserted) and removed for some reason.
III. The “network” can be a furnace
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 in the microprocessor. The replace­ment control does not include 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 control or a valid replacement memory card ordered from ProStock.
or
, –

is defined as a
-
2.by attaching the furnace control to a communicating network (e.g. a condenser and thermostat) which was previously connected to (and operating with) a valid fur­nace control with valid fur­nace shared data.
V. Replacement memory cards
with the appropriate furnace shared data for any given 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 E-117 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 “d4” is displayed for 5 minutes followed by “d1” (NO SHARED DATA) fault code will be displayed at both the ther­mostat active fault screen and at the furnace control (I.F.C.) seven-segment displays. Also, the homeowner will be alerted via 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.
b. If valid furnace shared data is
available from the network and no memory card is present, a “d4” (MEM CARD INVALID) fault is displayed at the com­municating thermostat active fault screen and at the furnace seven-segment displays when in standby mode only (see fault code priority list). The homeowner is not alerted (level 1 fault).
c. If no furnace shared data is
present on the network and a memory card is either not pre­sent or the shared data on the memory card is not valid, a “d1” (NO SHARED DATA) fault is displayed after 5 minutes at both the communicating ther­mostat active fault screen and at the furnace seven-segment displays provided a higher pri­ority fault code is not also pre­sent (in which case the higher priority fault is displayed) (see fault code priority list). The homeowner is alerted via the communicating thermostat (level 2 fault).
d. If furnace shared data from the
memory card is not valid or is not present and shared data from network can be used, the appropriate fault (d4, d5, d6, d7 or d8 – see fault codes in this manual) is displayed at the communicating thermostat active fault screen and at the furnace seven-segment dis­plays during standby mode only. The homeowner is not alerted (level 1 fault).
2. If memory card present (attached to IFC or inserted in E-117 of the IFC), furnace shared data from the memory card (if valid) will be used to write (or re­write) the network furnace shared data and furnace shared data from card will be used. If the data on that card is not valid,:
a. If furnace shared data on the
memory card
I. is corrupt or invalid (“d4” –
MEM CARD INVALID”),
and/or
II. is for another component or
different furnace series (“d5” – CARD-HARD CNFLCT),
50
and/or
III. does not match the horsepower
of the attached motor (“d6”­BLWR HP CNFLCT),
and/or
IV. does not support the motor
manufacturer of the motor pre­sent (“d7” - BLWR MFG CNFLCT),
and/or
V. is from an older furnace and is
missing critical newer furnace shared data (“d8” - OLD SHARED DATA),
furnace shared data from the network (if valid) is used to con­trol the furnace (see description of “network” under “If no mem
ory card present
above). Furnace shared data on the network will not be writ­ten or re-written from the mem­ory card. If the furnace shared data on the network is valid, the appropriate fault for the memo­ry card will be displayed at the active fault screen of the com­municating thermostat and at the furnace seven-segment dis­plays when in standby mode only (see fault code priority list). The homeowner will not be alerted (level 1 fault).
b. If neither the furnace shared data
on the memory card is valid nor the furnace shared data on the network is valid, the fault code sta­tus is elevated. The homeowner is alerted via the communicating thermostat (level 2 fault) and the fault code d1 (NO VALID SHARED DATA) is displayed at the commu­nicating thermostat active fault screen and at the furnace seven­segment displays provided a high-
(item 1
er priority fault is not also present (in which case the higher priority fault is displayed) (see fault code priority list).
c. If no furnace shared data is avail-
able on either the memory card or the network, the fault code “d1” (NO SHARED DATA) is displayed at the communicating thermostat active fault screen and at the fur­nace seven-segment displays provided a higher priority fault is not also present (in which case the higher priority fault is dis­played) (see fault code priority list). The homeowner is alerted via the communicating thermostat (level 2 fault). Furnace shared data on the network will not be
-
written or re-written from the memory card.
REPLACING THE FURNACE CONTROL
In the event that the furnace control must be replaced, the memory card must be detached from the original fur­nace control and retained with the fur­nace. 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 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 FURNACE. 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 communicatinig systems as a final confirmation of the correct shared data the model number should be verified by checking the furnace user menu under the sub menu titled “Unit Info.” Make sure that the model number displayed in the menu matches the model num­ber on the rating label. (NOTE: Wild cards will be shown in parenthesis. Example: RGFG-06(E/N)MCKS.)

DIPSWITCHES
NOTE: The integrated furnace control
does not recognize switch setting changes while energized.
S3
S3-1 AND S3-2 – COOLING AIRFLOW SELECT (NON-COMMUNICATING SYSTEMS) – These dipswitches are
used to select the appropriate cooling airflow based on the amount required. The switch settings do not affect cooling airflow when installed with a fully com­municating condenser. In that case, the condenser supplies the information for cooling airflow which is preset at the factory and not adjustable.
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 S3-1 and S3-2. Furnaces with ½ HP motors will have a maximum target 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-communicating systems can be adjusted approximately +/- 10% by using the cool trim adjust­ment dipswitches; S3-3 and S3-4. See Figure 40.
Cooling airflow for non-communicating systems is also affected by the settings of dipswitch position S5-2. This switch will determine the appropriate amount of airflow to be used for the low stage
st
(1
stage) of cooling. See the Table 17. More information can be found in the section titled S5 (S5-2).
Consult Figures 40, 41 and 42 and Table 17 for target airflow settings and adjustments based on the posi­tions of the dipswitches S3-1, S3-2, S3-3, S3-4 and S5-2.
S3-3 AND S3-4 – COOLING AND HEAT-PUMP AIRFLOW ADJUST­MENT – These dipswitches are
used to adjust the cooling and heat­pump airflow for non-communicating systems slightly based on the user’s preference.
S3-3 = “OFF”, S3-4 = “OFF” – None adjustment.
S3-3 = “ON”, S3-4 = “OFF” – +10% adjustment.
S3-3 = “OFF”, S3-4 = “ON” – -10% adjustment.

S4-2 and S4-3 ­FURNACE TEST and OPERATING
MODES
FURNACE TEST SWITCHES The Test Switches will place the IFC
into a test mode, operating the fur nace at continuous input rates of either 100% of full rate (maximum fire) or 40% of full rate (minimum fire). This is accomplished by set ting the Test Switches as indicated in Table 18 and Figure 41.
To enter the Furnace Test Mode, pro ­ceed as follows:
1. Switch the 115 volt power to the fur nace OFF. Do not change
settings with control energized.
2. Remove furnace blower door.
3. Position Test Switches S4-2 and S4-3 for the desired test mode.
4. Replace furnace blower door.
5. Switch the 115 volt power to the fur nace ON.
6. Set the thermostat mode to HEAT, adjust the setpoint at least 4°F above room temperature to demand a call for heating.
When the furnace is powered with the test switches in a position other than modulating/single-stage or in 2­stage mode, the first call for heat within the first hour after power-up will instruct the furnace to perform as follows:

3. The furnace will then adjust to the desired Test capacity. This allows time for the technician to check steady-state operation and evaluate furnace performance.
The furnace will operate at the fixed Test capacity until one of the following conditions:
A. The thermostat is satisfied and the
call for heat is removed.
B. The furnace has been in test mode
continuously for sixty minutes, at which time the furnace control (IFC) will exit the test mode and proceed to normal heating operation as con­figured. Test mode can not be acti­vated again unless line voltage power to the furnace is cycled off and back on. This is true even if the dipswitches remain configured to the test settings.

FURNACE OPERATION USING NON-COMMUNICAT­ING MODULATING, SINGLE­STAGE, AND TWO-STAGE THERMOSTATS (CONSULT THE SECTION OF THIS DOCUMENT TITLED NON-
COMMUNICATING THER­MOSTATS FOR WIRING DIA-
GRAMS)
The modulating furnace is capable of operating with a single-stage or a two­stage thermostat as well as the modu­lating thermostat or fully communicating thermostat specified for use with the fur­nace. Fully communicating thermostat functions and operations are explained in detail in the sections of this manual titled COMMUNICATING SYSTEMS and THERMOSTATS (under the sub- section titled COMMUNICATING THER- MOSTATS).
Based on the dipswitch settings of S4-2 and S4-3, the furnace will operate with either single-stage or two-stage ther­mostats as a modulating system using an algorithm that utilizes three distinct firing rates; 40%, 65% and 100% of the furnace heating capacity (See below for opera tion of each). See Figure 41 to determine which dipswitch settings are necessary for operation with a modulat­ing, single-stage or two-stage thermo­stat.
See the section of this document titled THERMOSTATS (under the sub-section titled NON-COMMUNICATING THER- MOSTATS) for information on how to
wire the thermostats for each of the configurations below.
In non-communicating systems, the heating cycle is always initiated by a 24 volt signal on W1. When the controller senses 24 volts on W1, the following sequence occurs:
MODULATING FUNCTION:
(Modulating function with a non-com­municating thermostat only applies when both switches S4-2 and S4-3 are in the “OFF” position and a non-com­municating modulating thermostat (specified for use with the furnace) is installed as shown in Figures 53-55.)
After the warm-up period, the furnace will respond to the thermostat demand by adjusting the gas valve pressure and blower speed between 40% and 100% of maximum heating capacity.
TWO-STAGE FUNCTION:
Two-stage thermostat yields 3 stages of heat.
(Two-stage function only applies when both switches S4-2 and S4-3 are in the “ON” position and a two-stage thermostat is installed as shown in Figure 57.)
After the blower on-delay period, the furnace will respond to the thermostat demand by adjusting the gas valve pressure and blower heating speeds to the “W” signal values. “W1” only = 40% gas valve pres sure and blower heating speed. “W2” = 65% gas valve pressure and blower heating speed for the first five minutes and 100% thereafter.
Also, if the call for heat ends, the furnace terminates at the present rate.
SINGLE-STAGE FUNCTION (“W” signal only) :
One-stage thermostat will yield 3 stages of heat.
(Single-stage function only applies when both switches S4-2 and S4-3 are in the “OFF” position and a single-stage thermostat is installed as shown in Figure 56.)
After the blower on-delay 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 speed)
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 imme diately at the firing rate of that phase.
S5
S5-1 = ODD “ON” or “OFF” select.
This switch will ignore the input from the 24 volt terminal labeled “HUM STAT” during cooling when in the “OFF” position. However, the “HUM
55
STAT” input is always read in the heating mode to turn on and off the humidifier relay.
When in the “ON” position, the dehumidi­fication feature will become active and it will be necessary to install a humidistat to the “HUM STAT” terminal as discussed and shown in wiring diagrams in the sec­tion of this manual titled “HUMIDIFICA- TION AND DEHUMIDIFICATION” of this document. Failure to install a humidistat to the “HUM STAT” terminal with dip­switch S5-1 in the “ON” position will cause the cooling speed airflow to be reduced to the dehumidification speed.
S5-2 - For most cooling operation, leave dip switch S5-2 in the “OFF” position. This will enable the furnace operation with most two-stage, non-communicat­ing cooling equipment. Actual SEER values will vary and depend on the equipment combina tion. Consult the specifications sheets and installation instructions of the cooling equipment purchased for a listing of the SEER rat­ings for a specific combination.
Placing S5-2 in the “ON” position will establish the low (Y1) cooling airflow at ½ of the max cool (Y2) airflow. This set­ting will be useful with cooling systems where two compressors are used to
control two cooling stages (one com­pressor for first stage and two com­pressors for second stage).
S1 (NON-COMMUNICATING SYSTEMS ONLY)
Dipswitch bank S1 is used to fine-tune the airflow in the heating mode. The switches of bank S1 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 accordingly.
S1 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 tech-
Switch (S5-1) Call Voltage at “HUM” Action

nician must use separate tempera­ture probes to determine the rise range and adjust the airflow using S1’s dip switches until the rise range is as close as possible to the target temperature rise (65°F or 55°F – adjusted at dipswitch SW1-3).
NOTE: All dip switches on S1 will be shipped in the “OFF” position.

tions, all three of the dipswitches in bank S2 must be in the “ON” posi­tion. If not, the system may not be able to communicate.
DUAL SEVEN-SEGMENT DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY
The dual seven-segment diagnostic dis­play will either display the status of the system (e.g. “H” for Heat) or a diagnos­tic error code in the event of an active fault. Fault and status codes and their meanings can be determined from Table
19. For detailed information for each fault code refer to the TROU­BLESHOOTING section of this manual. For communicating systems, the fault 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).
In heating mode “H” is displayed fol­lowed by a one-digit number. The num­ber represents the current firing rate. For example: H7 would represent heat-
ing mode operation at 70% of firing rate. (HØ represents 100% heat). This is then toggled with two numbers which indicate the /CFM of the main circulat­ing blower divided by 100. For exam­ple, if “18” is displayed, the furnace is attempting to deliver between 1750 and 1849 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).
To recall the faults manually after power-up, push and hold down the “Fault Recall” button (SW-1) briefly until the lower segments on the right digit light up (looks like an equal sign [=]).
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 dis­played is the number of days since each 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, push and hold down the “Fault Recall” (SW-1) button for 3 seconds. When this is done, both seven-segment displays will ener­gize the middle horizontal segments for four seconds as confirmation that the fault codes have been cleared from the buffer.
Faults can also be cleared at the furnace User menu under the Fault 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 recommended 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 com­municating connections or com­munications may not be properly established.
Figure 45 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 and C) 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 thermo­stat will display the following text:
“SEARCHING”
is displayed several times for sever­al 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 com­plete. If these messages are not displayed within 30 minutes after energizing the system, communica­tions 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 order 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.
59
When the system has found all neces­sary 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 neces­sary adjustments.
NOTE: When a communicating con­denser is installed with the system, a capital “C” will be displayed at the fur­nace seven-segment display for both low & high cooling stages.
NOTE: If the blower motor reaches its maximum power level during the first three minutes of blower operation after power up, a fault code “66” will be dis­played. This may be an indicator of excessive static pressure or inadequate duct sizing. The message will not be displayed again after the first three min­utes of blower operation.
CONTINUOUS FAN OPERATION IN COMMUNICATING MODE
NOTE: It is important for the installer to
run the communicating system at the maximum cooling rate (with communi­cating condenser attached) so that the furnace can determine the maximum cooling airflow. This value is used to cal­culate the continuous fan airflow (see below) and defrost airflow (for communi­cating dual-fuel systems).
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 1100 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 cool­ing 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 condenser sends a fan demand to the furnace control.
ACTIVE FAULT CODES WITH COM­MUNICATING SYSTEMS
Two levels of fault codes exist: (1) Non­critical 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) opera­tions from proceeding. Detailed expla­nations 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
NNOOTTIICCEE::
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 configuring 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 operation instruc­tions for that thermostat.
Navigating the user menus is straight-forward. The menu follows the logic tree shown in Figure 46 (a & b).
NOTE: There may be a delay of several seconds when accessing he user menus or sub-menus. This is normal.
The thermostat menus give active information for various parameters and permit some installation options to be selected.
Note: Supply Air (SA) and Return Air (RA) temperature readings may not be accurate in standby mode. These should only be read and used when the blower is running in heat, cool or other modes.
“STATUS 1” menu – This menu gives information about the status of certain furnace components and fea­tures.

7.5%, 0, +7.5% and +15%. Note that when a low heat adjustment is made, the low heat rate is adjusted and all points between low and high heat will be adjusted proportionally with the greatest adjustment on the low end and the least adjustment on the high end. IMPORTANT: Note that increasing the airflow will decrease the temperature rise and decreasing the airflow will increase the temperature rise. This may not be obvious at first.
The default factory setting for the min heat adjustment is “0”.
3. MAX HEAT ADJ
permits the adjustment of the high heat airflow. Operation of this selection is exactly as with the dip­switches at SW3 at the furnace con­trol. The high heat rise can be changed by increasing or decreas­ing the airflow slightly. Adjustments are -15%, -7.5%, 0, +7.5% and +15%. Note that when a high heat adjustment is made, the high heat rate is adjusted and all points between high and low heat will be adjusted proportionally with the greatest adjustment on the high end and the least adjustment on the low end. IMPORTANT: Note that increasing the airflow will decrease the temperature rise and decreasing the airflow will increase the temper­ature rise. This may not be obvious at first.
The default factory setting for the max heat adjustment is “0”.
4. FIXED FIRE RATE
will temporarily fix the gas heating fire rate to the selection desired. The selected rate will be applied to the present heat call only. If there is no heat call already present when the selection is attempted, the sys­tem will not permit the firing rate to be fixed at the user menu. The firing rate and blower will be fixed at the selected rate for the duration of the existinig heat call or a maximum of two hours (whichever comes first). This feature should only be used for installation, diagnostic, adjustment and troubleshooting purposes by an experienced licensed technician. Selectable firing rates are 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% and 100%.

START-UP PROCEDURES
TO START THE FURNACE
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a hot surface 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 proper ventilation, it 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 nega­tive pressure switch, a “no heat call” would result.
1. Remove the burner compartment control access door.
2. IMPORTANT: Be sure that the man- ual gas control has been in the “OFF” position for at least five min­utes. Do not attempt to manually light the main burners.
3. Set the room thermostat to its lowest setting and turn off the furnace elec­trical power.
4. Turn the gas control switch to the “ON” position.
5. Replace the burner compartment control access door.
WARNING
!
FAILURE TO REPLACE THE BURNER DOOR CAN CAUSE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION TO BE RELEASED INTO THE CONDI­TIONED AREA RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
6. Turn on the manual gas stop.
7. Turn on the furnace electrical power.
8. Turn thermostat to “Heat” mode and set the room thermostat at least 10°F above room temperature to light the main burners.
9. After the burners are lit, set the room thermostat to a desired tem­perature.
FURNACE TEST MODE
See the section of this manual titled “DIPSWITCH” under “S4” for details about test mode.
TO SHUT DOWN THE FURNACE
1. Set the room thermostat to its lowest setting and turn to “OFF” position.

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.
• Pre-Purge: There are two different types of pre­purge; a normal pre-purge and a learn­ing-sequence pre-purge. During a learning-sequence pre-purge, the inducer motor will incrementally increase in RPM (stepping) until the low and high pressure switches are both closed. After both switches are sensed to be closed, the inducer motor will continue to run for an additional 30 seconds before the ignition trial.
A learning sequence pre-purge will be initiated under the following conditions:
- First heat call after power reset.
- Every 25
- Next heat attempt after a failed pre­purge (pressure switch(es) does not close).
- Next heat attempt after a pressure switch has opened unexpectedly dur­ing normal heating operation.
A normal pre-purge will not go through the incremental stepping process of the inducer motor and should be much quicker. The inducer will start at a pre­determined RPM (determined during learning-sequence pre-purge) and this should close both pressure switches quickly. Once both pressure switches are sensed to be closed, the inducer will run for 30 seconds before the igni­tion trial starts.
• Hot - surface igniter is energized during the pre-purge period 19 seconds before ignition trial.
• The modulating gas valve is set to the highest possible rate (no flow yet).
• 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.
TWO-STAGE FUNCTION –NON-
COMMUNICATING SYSTEMS ONLY:
(Two-stage function only applies when both S4-2 and S4-3 are in the “ON”

position and a two-stage thermostat is installed as shown in Figure 57.)
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-
COM
MUNICATING 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 speed)
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.
Heating Cycle Termination
When the 24 volt signal is removed from W1 or, for communicatiing systems, a message is transmitted from the thermo­stat to the furnace to “end the heat call”, the heating cycle will end and the furnace will shut down and return to the proper off cycle operation.

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 fac­tory 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 gas utility to obtain the yearly aver­age heating value and orifice size required to fire each individual burner at 15,000 BTUH. For high altitude installations, also consult the section of this manual titled “High Altitude Installations” for details on how to calculate the correct orifice size.

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 draft 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 dirty 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 effi­ciently 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 other sources.
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 time after line voltage 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 inlet air system for blockage. If there is car­bon and scale in the heat exchanger tubes, the heat exchanger assembly should be replaced.
WARNING
!
HOLES IN THE VENT PIPE OR HEAT EXCHANGER CAN CAUSE TOXIC FUMES TO ENTER THE HOME, RESULTING IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OR DEATH. THE VENT PIPE OR HEAT EXCHANGER MUST BE REPLACED IF THEY LEAK.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that
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 lead to nuisance trip­ping of the over temperature switches and/or pressure switches.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning of the heating sea­son, 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 water. If 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.

NON-COMMUNICATING THERMOSTATS
THERMOSTAT WIRING
NOTE: For fully modulating function
with a non-communicating thermostat, the furnace must be installed with the (-)HC-TST412MDMS Modulating Touch-Screen Thermostat.
NOTE: Do not use 24 volt control wire smaller than No. 18 AWG.
Wire all non-communicating ther­mostats to the 24V connections on the integrated furnace control. See Figures 53 through 58.
NOTE: A larger wire gage may be be required for longer lengths of thermo­stat wire.
For proper installation of the Variable Output Thermostat, follow the “Thermostat Installation, Programming and Troubleshooting Manual” included as section II of this manual. For proper installation of a Single-Stage or Two­Stage Thermostat, see the Installation Instructions included with the thermo­stat.
FURNACE OPERATION USING MODULATING, SINGLE-STAGE, AND TWO-STAGE THERMOSTATS
The modulating furnace is also capa­ble of operating with a traditional sin­gle-stage or a two-stage non-communi­cating thermostat as well as the modu­lating (both communicating and non­communicating) thermostat. The con­trol will operate with either single-stage or two-stage non-communicating ther­mostats as a modulating system using an algorithm that utilizes three distinct firing rates; 40%, 65% and 100% of the furnace heating capacity (See below for operation of each).
Figures 53 through 58 detail how to wire the modulating furnace for opera­tion with non-communicating modulat­ing thermostat, single-stage thermo­stat, or two-stage thermostat.
FURNACE OPERATION WITH A MODULATING THERMOSTAT
As described previously in this manual, operation with a non-communicating modulating or communicating thermo­stat when installed as shown in Figures 54 and 55 are fully modulating between 40% and 100% of furnace capacity. The firing rate is first deter­mined by the thermostat and then sent to the furnace. This is the optimum mode of operation and will give the
FIGURE 52
24-VOLT TERMINALS
best temperature control with minimal temperature variation from the desired set point.
WARNING
!
WHEN A NON-COMMUNICATING (24V) MODULATING THERMOSTAT IS INSTALLED, DO NOT APPLY 24VAC TO V/W2 AT THE FURNACE CON­TROL (THIS IS SOMETIMES DONE DURING SETUP, TROUBLESHOOT­ING AND/OR WHILE DIAGNOSING PROBLEMS). DOING SO WILL DAM­AGE THE THERMOSTAT.
FURNACE OPERATION WITH A SINGLE STAGE NON-COMMUNICAT­ING THERMOSTAT
To operate the furnace with a single­stage non-communicating thermostat, set switches 2 & 3 of S4 (See Figure
41) to the “OFF” position. Note that these switches should be in the “OFF” position from the factory. The lack of the modulating “V” signal will automatically be sensed as a single-stage thermostat and the furnace will operate according­ly.
With a single-stage non-communicat­ing thermostat (installed as shown in Figure 56), during a call for heat, the furnace will operate as follows: Phase 1: 0 to 5 minutes = 40% of furnace capacity Phase 2: 5 to 12 minutes = 65% of furnace capacity Phase 3: After 12 minutes = 100 % of furnace capacity
NNOOTTEE:: ing nate immediately at the firing rate of that phase.
If switches 2 & 3 of S4 are in the “ON” position, the furnace will always operate at 40% with a single­stage non-communicating thermostat installed as shown in Figure 57.

STAGE THERMOSTAT
To set the furnace for operation with two-stage non-communicating ther­mostats, set switches 2 & 3 of S4 to the “ON” position (See Figure 41). Note that these switches should be in the “OFF” position from the factory. With both switches in the “ON” position, the furnace can still recognize a “V” signal present and will still operate with a modulating thermostat. However, with both switches of S4 in the “ON” posi­tion, the furnace is set to operate with a two-stage thermostat as well.
With a two-stage non-communicating thermostat (installed as shown in Figure
60) and switch settings configured as described above, during a call for heat, the furnace will operate as follows:
First Stage (“W”=ON and “W2”=OFF)
40% of furnace capacity always
Second Stage (“W”=ON and “W2”=ON)
Phase 1: 0 to 5 minutes = 65% of fur-
nace capacity Phase 2: After 5 minutes = 100% of furnace capacity
NNOOTTEE:: any
If the
call for heat ends during
phase and/or stage, the furnace will terminate immediately at the firing rate of that phase and/or stage.

REMOVE OLD THERMOSTAT
A standard heat/cool thermostat con­sists of three basic parts:
1. The cover, which may be either a snap-on or hinge type.
2. The base, which is removed by loos­ening all captive screws.
3. The switching subbase, which is removed by unscrewing the mounting screws that hold it on the wall or adapter plate. Before removing
wires from old thermostat, label each wire with the terminal desig­nation from which it was attached.
Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat one at a time. Do not let
wires fall back into the wall.
INSTALLING NEW THERMOSTAT
1. Pull the thermostat body off the ther­mostat base. Forcing or prying on the
thermostat will cause damage to the unit. Rear view of thermostat
2. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations on wall using base as a template.
3. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes. If you are using existing mounting holes and the holes drilled are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use plastic screw anchors to secure the base.
4. Fasten base snugly to wall using mounting holes shown in Figure 59 and two mounting screws. Leveling is for appearance only and will not affect thermostat oper­ation.
5. Connect wires to terminal block on base using appropriate wiring schematic (see Figures 53 through
55).
6. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire resistant material (such as fiberglass insula­tion) to prevent drafts from affect­ing thermostat operation.
7. Carefully line the thermostat up with the base and snap into place.
BATTERY LOCATION
2 “AA” alkaline batteries are includ­ed in the thermostat at the factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage. Remove the battery tag to engage the batteries. To replace batteries, set system to OFF, remove thermostat from wall and install the batteries in the rear along the top of the thermostat (see Figure
59).
WIRING CONNECTIONS
Refer to equipment manufacturers’ instructions for specific system wiring information. After wiring, see CON­FIGURATION section for proper ther­mostat configuration. For wiring dia­grams, see Figures 53 through 55.
Wiring diagrams shown are for typi­cal systes and describe the thermo­stat terminal functions.

INSTALLER/CONFIGURATION MENU
11) Select Continuous Backlight In low lighting condi­tions, display backlight improves the display contrast. When C terminal is connected, selecting dL On will turn the backlight on continuously. Selecting dL Off will turn the backlight on momentarily after any key is pressed. When C terminal is not powered (battery only), dL On enables the momentary backlight whenever a key is pressed.
12) Select Backlight Intensity This ther mostat has the ability to provide two selectable intensities of the back­light: HI and LO. Using
or touch keys you can
toggle the selection between HI and LO.
13) Select Temperature Display Adjustment 4 LO to 4 HI This allows you to adjust the room temperature display by an amount in the range of -4 F to +4 F in 1 steps b y using the
or touch keys. Your thermostat was accurately calibrated at the factory, however you have the option to change the display temperature value to match your previous thermostat, if you so prefer.
14) Select °F or °C Readout Select the desired temper ­ature unit by pressing
or . Factory default is F.
15) Select Audio Prompting (Beeper) On or Off F actory default setting is on (b, On). If you wish to turn off the beeper select OFF.
16) Select Daylight Saving Time Calculation T his feature will allow the thermostat to calculate the DST automati­cally and apply it to the Real Time Clock display. Default On. Use
or touch keys to select the feature, OFF.
17 & 18) Select Automatic Schedule With just one touc h
of the Auto Schedule key this feature allows you to program a desired comfort temperature into all the program periods along with a 6 set back for night periods of both Heat and Cool programs. Factory default is "On" for both. When Heat AS On and Cool AS On are activated while in Heat or Cool mode, select desired setpoint temperature and press Auto Schedule. Auto Schedule will flash, press it again to copy. This value will be copied into all the morning, day and evening program periods. The night program periods will be with a 6 F set back.
19) Select Cool Savings™: With Cool Savings ena bled, the thermostat will make small adjustments to the sensed temperature during periods of high demand to reduce AC system running time and save energy. When the cooling system has been running for more than 20 minutes, humidity in the home will be lower and a higher temperature will feel comfortable. After 20 minutes of run time, the thermostat will start decreasing the sensed temperature in steps of less than one degree as the system continues to run. These adjustments will eventu­ally cause the system to satisfy the thermostat to turn the system off and reduce the energy consumption. When the Cool Savings f eature is active and making adjust­ments, the display will flash CoolSavings”. The amount of the adjustments to the sensed temperature is depen­dent on the Cool Savings v alue that is set, 1 being the least adjustment and 6 being the most adjustment. With this feature set to OFF, no change will occur when the AC system is continuously running during the periods of high demand. Periods of high demand will normally occur during the late afternoon and early evening on the hottest days of the summer. As demand lessens the adjustments to sensed temperature are reversed until sensed temperature returns to normal and “CoolSavings” no longer flashes.
1) This control can be configured for: MS2 Multi-Sta ge System (2 heat/2 cool) HP1 Hea t Pump with one stage of compressor (2 heat/1 cool) HP2 Hea t Pump with two stage compressor or two compressor system, Gas or Electric backup; (Dual Fuel see menu item 35) (3 heat/2 cool) SS1 Sing le Stage System (3 wire zone see wiring diagram 37-6808A)
2) GAS or Electric (ELE) fan operation. If the heating system requires the thermostat to energize the fan, select ELE. Select GAS if the heating system energizes the fan on a call for heat. Note: Resetting the thermo-
stat switches the option to ELE.
3) Programs per week This control can be configured for 7 independent day or 5/1/1 day programming or non­programmable modes. Default is 7-day mode. The display indicates "7 Days" as default. Other options "5 Days" or "0 Days" can be selected by pressing touch keys,
or . If "0 Days" is selected for non-program- mable mode, the step for EMR will be skipped, as this feature will not be available in this mode.
4) Program Steps per day This control can be config- ured for 4 or 2 program steps per day. Default is "4 PS" and can be toggled between 4 PS and 2 PS by pressing the
or touch keys.
5) System Switch Configuration (MS2/SS1) This thermostat is configured for Heat and Cool with Auto changeover default (Cool-Off-Heat-Auto). Can be configured as Heat & Cool (Cool-Off-Heat), or Heat Only (Off-Heat), or Cool Only (Cool-Off). When the control is in heat pump configuration (HP1/ HP2), the system switch configuration will have an additional mode available namely, Emer for Emergency Mode.
6) Energy Management Recovery (EMR) (this step is skipped if configured as non-programmable). When set to "On" causes the thermostat to start heating or cooling early to make the building temperature reach the program setpoint at the time you specify. Example: Let us say, the heating program is 65 F a t night and 70 a t 7 AM. If the building temperature is 65 F, the difference is 5 F. Allowing 5 minutes per F rise, the thermostat setpoint will change to 70 a t 6:35 AM. Cooling allows more time per F, because it takes longer to reach temperature.
7, 8 & 9) Cycle Rate Selection The factor y default setting
is fast cycle (FA Cr) in all modes (Heat, Cool, Emer). To slow cycling (SL, Cr), press touch keys
or toggle between FA & SL. The cycle rates are as below different selections:
Mode Fast rate Slow rate
Heat 0.6 F 1.2 F Cool 1.2 F 1.7 F Emer 1.2 F 1.7 F
10) Select Compressor Lockout (CL) Selecting CL On will cause the thermostat to wait 5 minutes between cooling cycles. This is intended to help protect the compressor from short cycling. Some of the newer compressors have already got a time delay built in and do not require this feature to be activated in the thermo­stat. Your compressor manufacturer can tell you if this lockout feature is already present in their system. When the thermostat compressor time delay is activated, it will flash the set point for up to five minutes.

20) Heat Temperature Limit Range This f eature adjusts
the highest setpoint temperature for heat. The default setting is 99 F. It can be changed between 62 F and 98 F by pressing the
or key. The "temperature limit" icon will be displayed to the left of your setpoint temperature when using this feature. The "temperature limit" icon will flash if an attempt is made to adjust the temperature beyond the range selected.
21) Cool Temperature Limit Range T his feature adjusts the lowest setpoint temperature for cool. The default setting is 45 F. It can be changed between 46 F and 82 F by pressing the
or key. The "temperature limit" icon will be displayed to the left of your setpoint temperature when using this feature. The "temperature limit" icon will flash if an attempt is made to adjust the temperature beyond the range selected.
22) Keypad Lockout This step allows y ou to select the type of lockout or limited range security required. If no lockout or limited range security is required, press
to advance the menu. Three security settings are available in this menu item. Use the
or keys to select the lockout desired. Lockout selections are: "Keypad Lockout and L" = Total Lockout. Total Lockout locks all keys. "Keypad Lockout and P" = Partial Lockout. Partial Lock­out allows only the
or keys to operate within your set temperature limits. "Temperature Limit/Keypad Lockout" prevents changing the temperature limits in the Configuration Menu.
Keypad Lockout Combination Number Selection
Display will read "OFF" "Keypad Lockout". Skip this step and continue through the configuration menu items 19 thru 22 if you require an Air Filter Change out indicator or Humidifier Pad Change out indicator by pressing the
button to advance. Return to this point when you are ready to start your selected lock-out and continue by: Pressing
or keys to select ON.

Pressing
or keys to select your keypad lockout combination number. Note: "000" is not a valid combination choice.
Record the number you select for future use.
Press
to exit the menu. The security feature you select will start in 10 seconds. The system button will remain active for 10 seconds to allow setting Heat, Off, Cool or Auto.
23 & 24) Select Fast Second Stage ON or OFF In the r un
mode, with the fast Heat feature enabled (FA Heat On), if the Heat setpoint temperature is manually raised by 3 F (2 C) or more above the actual temperature using
the second stage will energize immediately. With FA OFF, second stage will not energize until the setpoint tempera­ture is 1 F or more a bove actual temperature for more than ten minutes. The Fast Cool feature (FA Cool) provides the same controls when the setpoint tempera­ture is lowered.
INSTALLER/CONFIGURATION MENU
25) Select Remote Temperature Sensor This control allows one wired remote temperature sensor (indoor or outdoor) be connected to it and indicates the measured temperature in clock digits. This menu enables you to select the remote sensor and also configure it as indoor or outdoor temperature sensor. Factory default is off. Select Remote On and Remote in (for indoor) or
Outdoor Remote. Local Temperature Sensor disable This is applica ble
only when indoor remote temperature sensor is enabled. Factory default is On LS. You can make it Off LS if you desire by using
or touch keys.Then, only the indoor remote temperature reading will be used for control.
26) Select Dual Fuel Feature and Setpoint This f eature is applicable only in heat pump modes. When the feature is selected, the thermostat will switch to gas heat and inhibit the compressor when the outside temperature (monitored by the outside remote sensor), falls below the DF setpoint. By using
or touch keys, select x, DF where x=5 to 50; factory default is 5 which disables the feature. This feature requires an outdoor remote temp­erature sensor (WR# F145-1378), however does not need a fossil fuel kit. Select Compressor Delay When the DF feature is enabled, the shut down of the compressor stage(s) are delayed by a programmable time after the auxiliary stage is energized to minimize the duration during which the system may blow cooler air. Default delay is 60 seconds (60, Cd). By using
or touch keys any value be-
tween 0 and 99 can be selected.
27) Select Auxiliary Offset Point T his feature is applic- able only in heat pump modes. When the outdoor temp­erature is above the Auxiliary Off (AO) setpoint, the auxiliary stages will be inhibited so the temperature will be maintained by only the heat pump. Factory default is 80, which disables the feature. AO setpoint cannot be set at or below Dual Fuel (DF) setpoint. By using
or
touch keys, select x, AO where x=35 to 80.
28) Select Change Filter Run Time The ther mostat will display "Change Filter" after a set time of blower operation. This is a reminder to change or clean your air filter. This time can be set from 25 to 1975 hours in 25 hour increments. A selection of OFF will cancel this feature. When "Change Filter" is displayed, you can clear it by pressing Clean Display. In a typical application, 200 hours of run time is approximately 30 days.
