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

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.

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

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.
ASTM
SPECIFICATION
D2661
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
TABLE 1
And this installation is not acceptable
as it exceeds the 80 foot maximum
listed for the RGFG-06 model.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

GAS PIPING
Install the gas piping according to all
local codes and regulations of the utility company.
If possible, run a separate gas supply
line directly from the meter to the furnace. Consult the local gas company
for the location of the manual main
shut-off valve. The gas line and man-
ual gas valve must be adequate in
size to prevent undue pressure drop
and never smaller than the pipe size
30
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

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

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.

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

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

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 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

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.

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

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.
“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.

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

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 HUMIDIFICATIONAND 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

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

Further, if this L.E.D. is on continuously,
it is an indication that mis-wiring has
occurred. Most probably, connections
“1” and “2” are reversed. Double-check
the wiring and make sure that the wire

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.

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).

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

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:
53
FIGURE 41

1. Normal ignition sequence
2. Blower On Delay
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 arein 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 inthe “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 S4-3are 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-

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.
See Figure 43 for Heating

These dipswitches will not be used for
first generation controls. They are
designed to be used for future generations of ClimateTalk which may support
multiple networks. For current installa
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 FaultHist selection. The seven-segment
displays will again operate as
described above.

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

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

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.

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 FURNACEFOR 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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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

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

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.
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.

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. AutoSchedule 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 weekThis 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 "5Days" 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 EmergencyMode.
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:
ModeFast rateSlow rate
Heat0.6 F1.2 F
Cool1.2 F1.7 F
Emer1.2 F1.7 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.

temperature when using this feature. The "temperaturelimit" 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 "temperaturelimit" icon will be displayed to the left of your setpoint
temperature when using this feature. The "temperaturelimit" 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.

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 DelayWhen 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.
