All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

D. BASE INSTALLATION

1. Combustible Floor Base Model: 70-BASE Use the base bottom panel as a template to mark floor opening locations (see Figure 2). Cut a square opening in the floor for the supply air connector duct. Cut the opening 1-inch larger than the square template opening. (duct requires 1-inch clearance to combustible floor). Cut a combustion air duct opening in the floor 1/8inch larger than the template opening.

Figure 2

After cutting openings in the floor, place the bottom panel in position. Mark the square opening location on the distribution duct at the connection point of the connector duct. Remove the bottom panel. Cut an opening in the distribution duct slightly larger than the connector duct. (refer to Figure 2 for location of this cut.) Cut the connector duct to length. Install the connector duct. Bend over each tab. Insure an airtight seal by using high temperature sealant or tape on the joint. Reinstall the bottom panel over the connector duct. Insert and secure the combustion air duct. Put the base top assembly in place (see Figure-3).

c CAUTION: A combustion air duct must be used. If the underside of the mobile home is skirted or enclosed (e.g. enclosed in a crawlspace), the combustion air intake should exit through the skirting, or enclosure, if at all possible. All joints and seams of supply ducts and combustion air ducts must be closed with a sealing method suitable to the application conditions and temperatures (e.g. high temperature silicone caulk and/or aluminum tape).

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

If the combustion air passageway cannot terminate outside of the skirting or enclosure, a permanent opening with a minimum of 50 square inches of unobstructed infiltration (free area) for ventilation air must be provided for adequate combustion. This permanent opening must be located no less than 12 inches from the bottom of the enclosure or skirting.

Figure 3

Slit the corners of connector duct down to the top of the base assembly. If metal projects more than 1-inch above the top of the base assembly, trim the flanges down to 1-inch. While the top of distribution duct is being pulled up with one hand, bend down each side of the connector duct tightly to the base assembly with the other hand. This assures a tight connection between the base assembly and the connector duct and that the distribution duct will be full size. Use high temperature tape and/or high temperature silicone caulking on all joints and seams to minimize air leakage. Secure the base assembly to the floor with two screws in the front flange.

2. Cottage Base Model: O1COT-BASE The O1COT-BASE cottage base (Figure 1B) is required for a freestanding cottage

base installation. The cottage base is designed to permit the installation of a 6-inch x 14-inch register in each of the two side panels and the front panel.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

c CAUTION: A permanent opening with a minimum of 50 square inches of unobstructed infiltration (free area) for ventilation and combustion air must be provided to the interior of the structure. Additional make-up air may need to be supplied to the interior of the structure to compensate for exhaust fans, appliances, or vents, which consume air from the interior of the structure.

Refer to the assembly installation instructions included with OM1COT-BASE cottage base for additional information.

3. Coil Cabinet: CE111S / CE211T

The CE111S / CE211T coil cabinet (figure 1C) is for applications requiring air conditioning. The coil cabinet is designed to have the combustion air brought in from the bottom thru a flexible hose, supplied with the cabinet. Refer to section G Combustion air of this manual for further instructions on the combustion air termination and connections.

F. CLOSET INSTALLATION

WARNING: HAZARD OF

ASPHYXIATION: A suction effect will occur when the furnace is operating inside the closet with the closet door closed. For proper operation, the furnace blower shall create no more than a 0.05-inch water column pressure differential between the closet and the adjoining space.

Figure 5

1. The return air opening into the closet is to have a minimum free area of 250 square

inches, (refer to Figure 5).

2. The return air opening may be located in the top, the center or (ideally) the bottom of

the closet door, or sidewall.

Do not obstruct any return air openings, including the return grille on the furnace. To do so may cause the furnace to activate the high temperature limit and shutdown, or it may cause asphyxiation.

3. The cross-sectional area of the return air grille leading into the closet (when located in the floor or ceiling) shall not be less than 250 square inches.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

4. The total free area of openings in the floor or ceiling registers serving the return air

system must be at least 350 square inches. At least one register must be located where it is not likely to be covered by carpeting, boxes, furniture, or any other objects.

5. Materials located in the return air system must have a flame spread classification of

200 or less.

6. Wiring materials located in the return air duct system must conform to Article 300-22

of the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.

7. Gas piping shall not be located in, or extend through, the return air duct system.

8. Refer to section G. COMBUSTION AIR for additional combustion air requirements.

G. COMBUSTION AIR c CAUTION: Flexible, spiral, or corrugated duct is not recommended, due to the

relatively high-pressure drop associated with air movement through this type of passageway.

The furnace requires the proper amount of combustion airflow through the combustion air intake to combust the fuel cleanly and efficiently. An inadequate combustion air supply can result in unsafe and erratic operation of the burner, sooting of the combustion chamber and the heat exchanger, and possibly, offensive fuel odors. Refer to chapter 5.3 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54-1999, or latest edition for application specific combustion air requirements.

The preferred location of the outside combustion air intake terminal (e.g. an optional stainless steel intake hood, part no. AOPS7402) is through the side of the structure, skirting, or enclosure. An acceptable alternate location is under the structure in the skirted or crawlspace area providing a minimum of 50 square inches of free area exists around the perimeter for outside combustion air to be drawn through. The opening of the termination must be at least 7 inches below the top of the floor.

The 70-base/coil cabinet is shipped with a combustion air duct that must be installed in the bottom of the base enclosure, before the furnace is installed. This 2-inch by 7-inch duct is shipped in two pieces. High temperature silicone sealant should be applied to both vertical seams, before it is snapped together with all four flanges on the same end. High temperature silicone must be applied to the flanges. The combustion air duct can then be inserted through the opening in the floor base model no.70. When the combustion air duct has been inserted completely, secure the duct to the combustion adapter with self-tapping sheet metal screws, refer to Figure 6. Make certain that the flanges, duct, and adapter are completely sealed to the burner enclosure base with high temperature silicone caulk. A 3-inch round to 7-inch x 2-1/4 inch rectangular adapter

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

plate is supplied with the furnace for adapting the 3-inch round flex combustion air duct to the 2-inch x 7-inch combustion air duct.

Recommended materials for the combustion air duct are smooth, round, galvanized steel duct or schedule 20 PVC pipe. The maximum intake duct length allowed is equivalent to 40-feet of straight duct. Reduce this length by 6-feet for the intake hood and each 90-degree elbow used, and by 3-feet for each 45-degree elbow used the combustion air duct.

Optional combustion air - a 4” round duct may be used by connecting a 3 x 4 reducer to the 3” flex duct supplied with the furnace.

2. Read the value of the thermostat current, in milliamps.

3. Adjust the heat anticipator of the thermostat to the value read by the multimeter.

If the heat anticipator is set too high, the furnace may delay activation of a heating cycle for too long. If the heat anticipator is set too low, the furnace may cycle too frequently. Either condition may not provide optimal comfort to the homeowner.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

J. INITIAL START UP:

This furnace does not have a pilot. It is equipped with a hot surface igniter, which automatically lights the burner. Do not attempt to light the burner by hand. Check the following items before the initial start-up.

1. Check all wiring for proper hook up. Tighten any loose connections.

2. Using a soap solution, leak test gas piping connections.

3. Check all tubing connections to the pressure switch, inducer, burner box, and gas valve and make sure they are connected firmly at all their connection points.

4. Check flue pipe, combustion air inlet, and all joints for tightness and to make sure there is no blockage.

5. Make sure air filter is in place.

6. Make sure the outside vent and air intakes are installed according to instructions and are free from blockage.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

: Turn off power to furnace before it is placed into service. The gas piping system must have been leak tested by a qualified heating contractor. (See Section IV, H, of these instructions on the installation of gas piping).

: It may be necessary to purge the air out of the gas line for initial startup of the furnace after installation. A qualified heating contractor should do this. If excessive gas escapes when purging the gas supply at the union, allow the area to ventilate for at least 15 minutes before attempting to start the furnace. Propane gas is especially dangerous because the specific gravity of propane gas allows it to accumulate at floor level at a dangerous concentration.

: Heat exchanger oil will burn off on initial firing creating an unpleasant odor. To prevent this odor from occurring more than once, it is suggested that:

1. A window(s) be opened.

2. The thermostat be set at highest setting.

3. The furnace remains running at conditions 1&2 for 30 minutes or until odor has dissipated.

K. ADJUSTMENT OF HEAT INPUT RATE:

The orifices for this furnace were sized: 1) for natural gas having a heating value of 1025 BTU per cubic foot and a specific gravity of .65, or 2) for liquefied propane gas with a heating value of 2500 BTU per cubic foot and a specific gravity of 1.55. The rating label inside the furnace vestibule will specify which gas your furnace is orificed for. If the furnace is installed at an altitude that is more than 2,000 feet above sea level, it is mandatory the input to the burner be reduced 4.0% for every 1,000 feet that it is above sea level. If the furnace is installed at an elevation of 5,000 feet, its input must be reduced 20.0%. Example: a furnace rated at 80,000

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

BTU at sea level must be reduced to a firing rate of 64,000 (80,000 x .80 = 64,000) at an elevation of 5,000 feet. If the furnace is installed at an elevation of 2,000 feet or less, no reduction in input is required. Your gas supplier may supply you with the correct orifice sizing information.

To check the heat input rate of your natural gas furnace, allow the unit to operate for 10 to 15 minutes and proceed as follows:

a. Call your gas supplier and ask for the BTU content (heating value) of one cubic foot of the gas, supplied to the installation area. An alternate approach is to assume a value of 1025 BTU/Cu Ft, which is the national average.

b. With all other gas appliances turned off and using a stopwatch, clock the time required for the (small) dial on the gas meter to make one full revolution. The meter dial will state the cubic feet of flow for one revolution usually one, two or five.

FORMULA: BTU/Cu Ft x Number of Cu Ft x 3600 Seconds = Input BTU/hr Seconds for one revolution

EXAMPLE: 1025 BTU/Cu Ft x 2 Cu Ft x 3600 = 78,678 BTU Input

93.80 Seconds Check the model number of the furnace, the input rate, the type of gas, and the

manifold pressure on the rating label located in the burner vestibule. If using the above example, the furnace is a GMD1-80N model and the input rate is 78,678 BTU/hr. The input rate would be acceptable because it was within + 2% of the listed input of 80,000.

c. Make sure that the gas supply pressure to the furnace is within the allowable range of

5.5" to 14" WC pressure on natural gas and 11.0" to 14.0" WC on propane gas. The pressure to the furnace must be checked while the furnace burner and any other gas appliances on the same supply system are operating, using the 1/8 in. NPT manifold pressure tap shown in figure 8.

TABLE 2

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

This gas furnace is equipped with a fixed orifice sized for the manifold pressure shown on the rating label. The input can only be increased, or decreased, by adjusting the manifold pressure. Remove the 1/8" threaded pipe plug located on the gas manifold.

Use a U tube manometer or recently calibrated pressure gage to measure the pressure. To adjust the pressure, remove the screw cap from the regulator on the gas valve and using the adjustment screw. Decrease the pressure by turning the screw counterclockwise or increase it by turning the screw clockwise.

c CAUTION: ADJUSTMENTS TO THE LISTED PRESSURE MUST NOT EXCEED

0.3" WC A 0.3" WC adjustment will increase or decrease the input approximately 4.0%. Replace screw (cap) when adjustment is complete.

The correct input can be assumed if the furnace manifold pressure is the same as that shown on the rating label if a gas meter is not available for natural gas or the unit is installed on an unmetered propane gas supply. Shut off the gas supply to the furnace. Remove the pressure gage and re-install the pipe plug using a thread compound resistant to the action of LP gases. If the rated input cannot be obtained with the present orifice at the correct pressure, your local gas supplier may assist in sizing the proper orifice. Thermo Products Engineering Department will gladly assist in sizing the orifice if you provide them with the heating value in BTU per cubic foot and the specific gravity of the fuel gas.

L. BURNER ADJUSTMENT

The GMD1-60 and GMD1-80 furnace models utilize an in-shot burner design that does not require an air shutter adjustment (air shutters are not used) for proper flame characteristics. Burner box access cover must always be secured with all screws in place and tightened before operating furnace.

This unit is designed to not require any burner adjustment. The flames should be checked by looking through the sight glass located on the burner box. Burner flames should be clear, blue, and almost transparent in color. (See Figure 8). NOTE: It is not unusual to have mostly blue flames with yellow or orange tips visible in the tube for propane gas.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

Figure 8

M. SETTING TEMPERATURE RISE

The GMD1-60N and GMD1-80N is designed and wired at the factory for a heating blower speed that should result in an approximate temperature rise of 70°F.

The blower motor is wired on low speed for heating mode of the GMD1-60N. The blower motor is wired on medium low speed for heating mode of the GMD1-80N. The temperature rise through the furnace may vary depending on the duct system,

elevation, heating value, etc. for each installation. After 10 to 15 minutes of continuous operation, the temperature rise through the

furnace must fall within a range of 55°F to 85°F. If the outlet or supply duct temperature is too high, check to make sure the return air filter is clean, the return air registers are free from obstruction, the outlet registers are properly adjusted and clear, and the supply and return air ducts are open.

The circulating air blower is not moving enough air if the supply air temperature is still too high. Before proceeding further, turn off the power supply to the furnace and remove the blower door. The speed of the blower must be increased by changing the speed tap from the motor (see wiring diagram). This is accomplished by locating the control panel attached to the blower housing and switching the blower lead, which should be connected to the “Heat” terminal on the White-Rodgers 50A65-143 control, with one of the higher speed blower leads attached to a terminal marked “Park”. Be sure to attach any unused blower leads to a terminal marked “Park”. Replace the blower door and turn on the power supply.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

N. FURNACE CHECKOUT PROCEDURE

Before any system of gas piping is finally put into service, it shall be carefully tested to assure that it is gas tight as indicated in section IV. H. Gas Piping of this manual.

NOTICE: All controls on the unit should be checked for proper functioning prior to the qualified service personnel leaving the job site. Specifically the following should be checked:

THIS SECTION IS ONLY TO BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED, QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL, AND NOT BY THE FURNACE OWNER.

NOTICE: BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING, FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE

START UP AND CHECKOUT PROCEDURE. ALL INSTALLATION AND SERVICES MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED HEATING CONTRACTORS

When testing electrical equipment, always follow standard electrical procedures and precautions.

Note – check diagnostic code through view port prior to removal of door.

1. Check for line voltage (110-120VAC) to the furnace. If there is no line voltage applied to the furnace, check that disconnecting switch is “on”, fuses or circuit breakers have not blown or tripped.

2. Make sure thermostat is “calling for heat”.

3. Check for adequate fuel supply and pressure. Are all the fuel shutoff valves open?

4. To assist you in troubleshooting this furnace, it is equipped with an integrated ignition control with diagnostics. These diagnostics evaluate what malfunction the control system has experienced and will activate a flashing light on the control in different sequences to help pinpoint the failure.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES

: Power must be disconnected before servicing.

The 50A65-143 control continuously monitors its own operation and the operation of the system. If a failure occurs, the LED will indicate a failure code as shown below. If the

failure is internal to the control, the light will stay on continuously. In this case, the entire control should be replaced, as the control is not field-repairable.

If the sensed failure is in the system (external to the control), the LED will flash in the following flash-pause sequences to indicate failure status (each flash will last approximately 0.25 seconds, and each pause will last approximately 2 seconds).

1 flash, then pause System lockout 2 flashes, then pause Pressure switch stuck closed 3 flashes, then pause Pressure switch stuck open 4 flashes, then pause Open limit switch or rollout switch 6 flashes, then pause 115 Volt AC power reversed 7 flashes, then pause Low flame sense signal 8 flashes, then pause Check igniter or improper grounding

Continuous flashing Flame has been sensed when (No pause) no flame should be present (No call for heat)

The LED will also flash once at power-up.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
