For best results, the heater should be placed with certain rules in mind. In general, a unit should
be located from 8 to 12 ft (2.6 to 3.6M) above the floor. Units should always be arranged to blow
toward or along exposed wall surfaces, if possible. Where two or more units are installed in the
same room, a general scheme of air circulation should be maintained.
Suspended heaters are most effective when located as close to the working zone as possible, and
this fact should be kept in mind when determining the mounting heights to be used. However,
avoid directing the discharged air directly on the room occupants.
Partitions, columns, counters, or other obstructions should be taken into consideration when
locating the unit heater so that a minimum quantity of airflow will be deflected by such obstacles.
When units are located in the center of the space to be heated, the air should be discharged
toward the exposed walls. In large areas, units should be located to discharge air along exposed
walls with extra units provided to discharge air in toward the center of the area.
At those points where infiltration of cold air is excessive, such as at entrance doors and shipping
doors, it is desirable to locate the unit so that it will discharge directly toward the source of cold
air from a distance of 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 M).

Requirements and Suggestions for Connecting and Installing Ducts
• Type of Ductwork - The type of duct installation to be used depends in part on the type of construction of the roof (whether
wood joist, steelbar joist, steel truss, pre-cast concrete) and the ceiling (whether hung, flush, etc.).
• Ductwork Material - Rectangular duct should be constructed of not lighter than No. 26 U.S. gauge galvanized iron or No. 24 B
& S gauge aluminum.
• Ductwork Structure - All duct sections 24 inches (610mm) or wider, and over 48 inches (1219mm) in length, should be cross
broken on top and bottom and should have standing seams or angle-iron braces. Joints should be S and drive strip, or locked.
• Through Masonry Walls - No warm air duct should come in contact with masonry walls. Insulate around all air duct through
masonry walls with not less than 1/2" (1" is recommended) of insulation.
• Through Unheated Space - Insulate all exposed warm air ducts passing through an unheated space with at least 1/2" (1" is
recommended) of insulation.
• Duct Supports - Suspend all ducts securely from adjacent buildings members. Do not support ducts from unit duct connections.
• Duct Sizing - Proper sizing of the supply air ductwork is necessary to ensure a satisfactory heating installation. The recognized
authority for such information is the Air Conditioning Contractors Association, 2800 Shirlington Road, Suite 300, Arlington, VA
22206 (www.acca.org). A manual covering duct sizing in detail may be purchased directly from them.
CAUTION: An external duct system static pressure not within the limits shown on the rating
plate, or improper motor pulley or belt adjustment, may overload the motor. See Hazard Levels,
page 2.
• Removable Panels - The ducts should have removable access panels on both upstream and downstream sides of the furnace.
These openings must be accessible when the furnace is in service and should be a minimum of 6" x 10" (152mm x 254mm) in size
so smoke or reflected light may be observed inside the casing to indicate the presence of leaks in the heat exchanger. The
covers for the openings must be attached in such a manner as to prevent leakage. See FIGURE 7A.
• Horizontal Discharge Duct Length - A minimum horizontal duct run of 24" (610mm) is recommended before turns or branches
are made in the duct system to reduce losses at the furnace outlet.
• Supply Air Duct/Furnace Horizontal Connection - The seal between the furnace and the duct must be mechanical. Duct
connection should be made with "U" type flanges on the top and bottom of the connecting duct. Slide the duct over the flanges
of the heater giving an airtight fit. Provide "U" type channels for the side flanges to ensure tight joints. Use sheetmetal screws
to fasten ducts and "U" channels to the furnace flange. See FIGURE 7B.
Form RZ-NA I-SCE, Page 6
Page 7
CAUTION: Joint where supply air duct attaches to the furnace must
be sealed securely to prevent air leakage into drafthood or burner
rack area. Leakage can cause poor combustion, pilot problems, shorten
heat exchanger life, and cause poor performance. See Hazard levels,
page 2.
• Return Air Duct/Furnace Connection - All return air ducts should be attached and
sealed to return air flanges to provide airtight connection.
• Return Air Duct/Grill Size - Make certain that return air ducting or grills have a free
area equal to the return duct size connection.

WARNING: Do not use an
existing venting system.
This heater requires
installation of the
combustion air/vent system
ordered with the unit (either
Option CC2 or Option
CC6).

Duct
2
U Channel

All separated combustion, power vented units MUST BE equipped with both combustion air
and exhaust piping to the outdoors. The unique concentric adapter box designed for use
with this heater allows for both combustion air and exhaust piping with only one horizontal
or vertical penetration hole in the building.
These instructions apply to installation and use of the concentric adapter and vent/combustion air kit (Option CC2 or CC6) designed for use with all Reznor separated-combustion
products. The systems illustrated in this manual are the only venting/combustion air systems approved for these separated combustion units. Do not use this concentric adapter box
with any other products.
Installation should be done by a qualified agency in accordance with these instructions. The
qualified service agency installing this separated-combustion system is responsible for the
installation.
Hazards of Chlorine - The presence of chlorine vapors in the combustion air of gas-fired
heating equipment presents a potential corrosion hazard. Chlorine found usually in the form
of freon or degreaser vapors, when exposed to flame, will precipitate from the compound, and
go into solution with any condensation that is present in the heat exchanger or associated
parts. The result is hydrochloric acid which readily attacks all metals including 300 grade
stainless steel. Care should be taken to separate these vapors from the combustion process.
This may be done by wise location of unit vent terminal and combustion air inlet with regard
to exhausters or prevailing wind directions. Remember, chlorine is heavier than air. This fact
should be kept in mind when determining installation location of these heaters and building
exhaust systems.

positioned or located
away from fresh air
intakes, doors and
windows to preclude
combustion products
from entering occupied
space. Failure to comply
could result in severe
personal injury or death
and/or property damage.

• Vent pipes - see requirements, page 8.
• Combustion air pipes - see requirements, page 8.
• Taper-type vent pipe diameter reducers and/or increasers as required.
• Thimble (a thimble is not required if wall is of non-combustible construction).
• Flashing.
• Sheetmetal screws, tape, and sealant as required.
1. Determine the location on the outside wall for the vent terminal. Location must comply
with vent length requirements, Requirement No. 3 on page 8. In most applications, the
terminal would be on a level with the heater mounting height. Allow 1/4" per foot (6mm per
305mm) downward pitch for condensate drain.
The distance of the termination of the horizontal vent from adjacent public walkways, adjacent buildings, openable windows, and building openings must be in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, must conform with National Fuel Gas Code Z223.2.
Local codes supersede all provisions in these instructions and in the National Fuel Gas
Code. Minimum clearances for the horizontal vent terminal are shown below. Also, select a
location that complies with adjoining building clearances as shown in FIGURE 13, page 14.
Products of combustion can cause discoloring of some building finishes and deterioration of
masonry materials. Applying a clear silicone sealant that is normally used to protect concrete
driveways can protect masonry materials. If discoloration is an esthetic problem re-locate the
vent or install a vertical vent.

3. Prepare a hole through the outside wall for the 8" (203mm) diameter combustion air
pipe. Outside wall construction thickness should be between 1" (25mm) minimum and 48"
(1143mm) maximum. The larger diameter combustion air pipe serves as clearance for the
vent pipe on non-combustible construction. A thimble may be required depending on wall
construction and/or local codes.
4. Prepare the Concentric Adapter Box
a) Attach the brackets to the box. Follow the instructions in FIGURE 12.
FIGURE 12 - Brackets for
Attaching the Concentric
Adapter Box to the Wall
2) Attach the Box to the Wall (Step 5)
When the box is attached to the wall in Step 5,
use the 2-1/2 (64mm) portion of the brackets.
To adjust to construction each bracket has
three 7/32 diameter holes.
1) Attach the Brackets to the Box - The 6
(152mm) portion of each bracket is designed
with five 7/32 diameter holes so that attach ment to the box can be adjusted.
If the wall is combustible, position brackets to allow
for a 2 (51mm) clearance between the box and the
wall.
Adjust bracket attachment to allow for the slight
downward pitch of the terminal vent pipe.
After careful positioning, use sheetmetal screws to
attach the brackets. NOTE: If any holes are
made in the box in error, they must be sealed.
b) Attach the outside portion of the combustion air pipe to the box. Determine the length
by measuring the bracket length from box to wall, plus the wall thickness, plus 2" (51 mm).
(The inlet air pipe should extend beyond the outside wall approximately 2" (51mm).)
Attach the inlet air pipe to the collar of the concentric adapter with sheetmetal screws and
seal.
5. Attach the concentric adapter box to the wall. Insert the combustion air pipe through
the wall. Attach the brackets (FIGURE 12) to the wall. On the outside, caulk or flash the
inlet air pipe. Flashing is field-supplied.
6. Position the inlet guard over the end of the combustion air pipe. See FIGURE 13, page
14. Attach the guard to the inlet air pipe with the four 1/2" long screws provided.
7. Determine length and install the double-wall terminal vent pipe.
a) Determine length of pipe. The length of the vent pipe is determined by the installation
within the maximum and minimum requirements. The vent pipe extending through the box
and the inlet air pipe must be one piece of double-wall vent pipe without joints. See FIGURE13, to determine lengths of each segment and calculate the total length required. The transition to the single-wall or Category III vent pipe run, must be made a maximum of 6” (152mm)
from the heater side of the box.
b) Install double-wall terminal vent pipe. Being sure the vent pipe is in the proper flow
direction, slide the end through the box. Position the vent pipe so that it will extend between
16" (406mm) and 24” (610mm) past the end of the combustion air pipe and no more than 6”
(152mm) out of the box toward the heater.
Use a taper-type reducer to attach the 5" double-wall vent pipe to the 6" or 7" single-wall or
Category III vent pipe run. Follow the instructions in FIGURE 9 , page 9.
8. Attach the exhaust (vent) cap to the end of the vent pipe. Align the cap so that its baffle
strips are positioned on the horizontal and vertical centerlines (See FIGURE 13). Follow
the instructions in FIGURE 8, page 9, to attach the exhaust cap. (NOTE: If vent pipe is
inserted from outside, cap may be attached before the double-wall vent pipe is installed. If
cap is attached first, be sure the baffle strips are positioned correctly when attaching the
vent terminal pipe to the vent run.)
9. Seal the vent pipe. Verify that the double-wall section of vent pipe has a slight downward
drop (1/4” per foot/6mm per 305mm) toward the vent terminal end. Use silicone sealant and
seal the circumference of the pipe and the opening of the box. Seal the area around the pipe

10. Gas Piping and
Pressures
WARNING
This appliance is equipped for a maximum gas supply pressure of 1/2 psi, 3.5 kPa, or 14 inches
water column. NOTE: Supply pressures higher than 1/2 psi require installation of an additional service regulator external to the unit.
Pressure Testing Supply Piping
Test Pressure Above 1/2 PSI: Disconnect the heater and manual valve from the gas supply
which is to be pressure tested. Cap or plug the supply line.
Test Pressure Below 1/2 PSI: Before testing, close the manual valve on the heater.
WARNING: Manifold gas pressure must never exceed 3.5" w.c. for
natural gas or 10" w.c. for propane gas.
All piping must be in accordance with requirements outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI/Z223.1 (latest edition) or CSA B149.1 and B149.2 (See Paragraph 1.) Gas supply piping
installation should conform with good practice and with local codes.
These separated-combustion units for natural gas are orificed for gas having a heating value
of 1000 (±50) BTUH per cubic ft. If the gas at the installation does not meet this specification,
consult the factory for proper orificing.
Seal the opening for the gas supply pipe with the grommet provided.
Pipe joint compounds (pipe dope) shall be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gas
or any other chemical constituents of the gas being supplied.
Install a ground joint union and manual shutoff valve upstream of the unit control system.
The 1/8" plugged tapping in the shutoff valve provides connection for supply line pressure
test gauge. The National Fuel Gas Code requires the installation of a trap with a minimum 3"
drip leg. Local codes may require a longer drip leg, typically 6" (See FIGURE 19.).
WARNING: All
components of a gas
supply system must be
leak tested prior to placing
the equipment in service.
NEVER TEST FOR
LEAKS WITH AN OPEN
FLAME. See Hazard
Levels, page 2.

Manifold or Orifice
(Valve Outlet) Pressure
Settings
Measuring manifold gas pressure cannot be done until the heater is in operation. It is
included in the steps of the "Check-Test-Start" procedure in Paragraph 25. The following
warnings and instructions apply.
For Natural Gas: When the heater leaves the factory, the combination valve is set so that the
outlet gas pressure of a single-stage valve or high fire of a two-stage valve is regulated to
3.5" w.c. Low fire on a two-stage valve is set to 1.8" w.c. Inlet supply pressure to the valve
must be a minimum of 5" w.c. or as noted on the rating plate and a maximum of 14" w.c. NOTE:Always check the rating plate for minimum gas supply pressure. Minimum supply pressure
requirements vary based on size of burner and the gas control option. Most units require a
minimum of 5" w.c. of natural gas as stated above, but Sizes 350 and 400 with electronic
modulation require a minimum of 6" w.c. natural gas supply pressure. Sizes 300 and 350 with
mechanical modulation require 7" w.c.
For Propane Gas: When the heater leaves the factory, the combination valve is set so that
the outlet gas pressure of a single-stage valve or high fire of a two-stage valve is 10" w.c.
Low fire on a two-stage valve is set to 5" w.c. Inlet pressure to the valve must be a minimum
of 11" w.c. and a maximum of 14" w.c.
Before attempting to measure or adjust manifold gas pressure, the inlet (supply) pressure
must be within the specified range for the gas being used both when the heater is in operation and on standby. Incorrect inlet pressure could cause excessive manifold gas pressure
immediately or at some future time.
Instructions to Check Valve Outlet (Manifold) Pressure:
1) With the manual valve (on the combination valve) positioned to prevent flow to the main
burners, connect a manometer to the 1/8" pipe outlet pressure tap in the valve. NOTE: A
manometer (fluid-filled gauge) is recommended rather than a spring type gauge due to the
difficulty of maintaining calibration of a spring type gauge.
2) Open the valve and operate the heater. Measure the gas pressure to the manifold. To
measure the low stage pressure on units equipped with a two-stage valve, disconnect the
wire from the "HI" terminal on the valve. (Be sure to reconnect the wire.)
Normally adjustments should not be necessary to the factory preset regulator. If adjustment
is necessary, set pressure to correct settings by turning the regulator screw IN (clockwise) to
increase pressure. Turn regulator screw OUT (counterclockwise) to decrease pressure. Consult the valve manufacturer's literature provided with the furnace for more detailed information.

11. Electrical Supply
and Connections
All electrical wiring and connections including electrical grounding must be made in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition) or, in Canada, the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I-CSA. Standard C22.l. Check any local ordinances or gas
company requirements that apply.
Check the rating plate on the heater for the supply voltage and the current requirements. A
separate line voltage supply with fused disconnect switch should be run directly from the
main electrical panel to the unit, making connections in the junction box. Refer to FIGURE 1,
Paragraph 3. Seal all electrical entrance openings with field-supplied bushings.

A disconnect switch is available as optional equipment or may be supplied locally. When
installing the disconnect switch, be careful that the conduit and switch housing are clear of
all service panels. Allow at least four feet (1.2M) of service room between the disconnect
switch and any removable service panels. When providing or replacing fuses in a fusible
disconnect switch, use dual element time delay fuses and size 1.25 times the maximum total
input amps.
The heater is equipped with a low voltage (24V) control circuit. See the typical wiring diagrams on pages 21 and 22; a specific wiring diagram can be found in the heater junction box.
See separate instruction sheets for any optional equipment provided. Optional equipment is
identified on the wiring diagram supplied with the heater.
A thermostat is not supplied with the furnace. Use either an optional or a field-provided lowvoltage (24V) thermostat. Install the thermostat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
A low voltage thermostat is equipped with a heat anticipator which levels out unit cycling for
optimum temperature control. Set the anticipator at 1.0 amps for standard controls. See chart
below for amp ratings of optional controls.

13. Combustion Air
Proving Switch
The combustion air proving switch ensures that proper combustion airflow is available. The
switch is a single-pole, double-throw switch, which senses pressure caused by the flow of
combustion air from the venter. The switch is designed to close when a decreasing pressure
is sensed in the outlet duct of the gas collection box.
On startup when the furnace is cold, the sensing pressure is at the most negative level, and
as the furnace and the flue system warm-up, the sensing pressure becomes less negative.
After the system has reached equilibrium (approximately 20 minutes), the sensing pressure
levels off. If a restriction or excessive flue length or turns cause the sensing pressure to
become less than the switch setpoint, the pressure switch will function to shut off the main
burners. The main burners will remain off until the system has cooled and/or the flue system
resistance is reduced. The table below gives approximate water column negative pressure
readings and switch setpoints for sea level operating conditions.
Startup Cold Equilibrium Factory Setpoint
-1.0" w.c.-.70" w.c.-.58 +or- .05" w.c.
NOTE: These settings apply to furnaces that are not equipped with air and gas modulation
Option AG39 or AG40. For pressure switch settings for units equipped with Option AG39 or
AG40, see Paragraph 21.
DANGER: Safe operation requires proper venting flow. Never bypass
the combustion air proving switch or attempt to operate the unit without
the venter running and proper flow in the vent system. Hazardous
condition could result. See Hazard Levels, page 2.
14. Fan Control
Service NOTE: To replace the fan
control on units manufactured prior
to 11/04, a replacement kit is
required. Order P/N 209184.
15. Limit Control
16. Motor Loads and
Amps
1. A fan control provides for the following control of the blower.
(a) After the gas valve opens, there is a time delay of blower operation to prevent the
discharge of cold air.
(b) Blower operation continues after the thermostat is satisfied as determined by the
fan time delay.
2. To be sure that the blower can continue to operate, the power supply to the furnace
MUST NOT be interrupted except when servicing the unit.
3. If the customer wants the furnace off at night, the gas valve circuit SHOULD BE
OPENED by a single pole switch wired in series with the thermostat. Some thermostats
are provided with this feature. Multiple units controlled from a single thermostat are
shut off in the same manner. For proper operation, be sure the fan control wiring is
observed.
All models are equipped with an automatic, non-adjustable reset limit control that acts to
interrupt the electric supply to the redundant main operating valve in case of motor failure or
lack of airflow due to restrictions at the inlet or outlet.
Use an ammeter to check blower motor amps. The chart on the right lists full load amps of
open-type blower motors by HP and voltage . Amps may be adjusted downward by reducing
blower RPM or by increasing duct system static pressure.
This chart can be used for sizing line wiring but should not be interpreted as the exact motor
amps. See the motor rating plate for exact motor specifications. Do not exceed amp rating on
the motor nameplate.
Venter motor amps for a 115 volt or 575 volt unit are 1.5 amps; venter motor amps for a 208,
230, or 460 volt unit are .8 amps.
Check belt tension. Proper belt tension is important to the long life of the belt and motor. A
loose belt will cause wear and slippage. Too much tension will cause excessive motor and
blower bearing wear. Adjust the belt tension by turning the adjusting screw on the motor
base until the belt can be depressed 3/4" (19mm). (See FIGURE 22.) After correct tension is
achieved, re-tighten the locknut on the adjustment screw. Be sure that the belt is aligned in
pulleys.
Adjusting Blower Speed
The blower speed may be adjusted to achieve the desired outlet temperature, as long as the
adjustment is within the temperature rise and the static pressure limits shown on the furnace
rating plate. Motors are factory set between maximum and minimum blower speeds.
If the duct resistance is low, the blower may deliver too high an air volume. If the resistance
is very low, the blower may deliver excess air to overload the motor, causing the overload
protector to cycle the motor. Reducing the blower speed will correct these conditions. If
ductwork is added to an installation, it may be necessary to increase the blower speed.
Decreasing blower speed will increase outlet temperature; increasing blower speed will decrease outlet temperature.
At final adjustment, amperes should not exceed motor nameplate amp rating. The installation must be adjusted to obtain a temperature rise within the range specified on the furnace
rating plate.
The belt drive on these units is equipped with an adjustable pulley which permits adjustment
of the blower speed. Follow these instructions to adjust the blower speed.
1. Turn off the gas and the electric power.
2. Loosen belt tension and remove the belt.
3. Loosen the set screw on the side of the pulley away from the motor.
4. To increase the blower speed, decreasing outlet temperature, turn the
adjustable half of the pulley inward. To decrease the blower speed, increasingthe outlet temperature, turn the adjustable half of the pulley outward. One
turn of the pulley will change the speed 8-10%.
5. Tighten the set screw on the flat portion of the pulley shaft.
6. Replace the belt and adjust the belt tension. Adjust tension by turning the
adjusting screw on the motor base until the belt can be depressed 3/4". (See
FIGURE 22.) Re-tighten the lock nut on the adjusting screw. Be sure that the
belts are aligned in the pulley grooves properly and are not angled from pulley
to pulley.
7. Turn on the gas and electric. Light the heater following the instructions on the
lighting instruction plate.
8. Check the motor amps with an ammeter. The maximum motor amp rating on the
motor nameplate must not be exceeded.
When service is complete, check for proper operation.
Blower Rotation
Optional Variable
Frequency Drive
Form RZ-NA I-SCE, Page 24
Each blower housing is marked for proper rotation. Rotation may be changed on singlephase motors by re-wiring in the motor terminal box. Three-phase motors may be reversed by
interchanging two wires on the 3-phase supply connections.
If the system is equipped with an optional variable frequency drive, the motor will operate on
speeds as determined by the electrical frequency. 60 hertz is maximum speed. Speeds must be
within the temperature rise range of a Model SCE Series 6 heater which is 30-90°F.
Follow the variable frequency controller manufacturer's instructions that are packaged with
the heater (in the owner's envelope) to program the variable frequency drive settings. The
formula for motor speed is N = 120 x f/p where N is speed; f is frequency; and p is number of
poles (3600 RPM motor has 2 poles; an 1800 RPM motor has 4 poles).
Example: 1800 RPM motor on 60Hz; N = 120 x 60/4 = 1800
1800 is synchronous speed; assume 2% slip. Motor will run between 1750
and 1790 RPM at full load depending on design. Run the same motor at
45Hz (120 x 45/4 = 1350). 1350 RPM less 2% slip equals about 1300 RPM.
Page 25
18. Operating
Valve
All furnaces are equipped with a 24-volt combination valve which includes the automatic electric
on-off valve controlled by the room thermostat, the pressure regulator, the safety pilot valve, and
the manual shutoff valve. The standard gas valve allows for single-stage control from a singlestage, 24-volt thermostat.
WARNING: The operating valve is the prime safety shutoff. All gas supply
lines must be free of dirt or scale before connecting the unit to ensure positive
closure. See Hazard Levels, page 2.

FIGURE 23 - Duct
Temperature Sensor
Location
The standard combination control valve is replaced with a two-stage combination gas control
valve providing for low fire or high fire operation controlled by a two-stage thermostat. First stage
(low fire) is factory set (not field adjustable). Both high and low stages are controlled by a Servo
regulator, maintaining constant gas input under wide variations in gas supply pressure. See
instructions packed with the unit for specific gas valve specifications, wiring, and operating
instructions.
Two-stage makeup air units are equipped with a two-stage gas valve, but instead of control from
a two-stage room thermostat, the outlet air temperature is monitored and controlled by a twostage ductstat. When the discharge air temperature drops to the setpoint, low fire is energized. If
low fire cannot satisfy the ductstat setting, high fire is energized.
Makeup air applications are usually adjusted to discharge an outlet air temperature between 65°F
and 75°F. In all applications, the allowable temperature rise of the furnace in the installation
dictates the limits of the ductstat temperature setting.
Depending on the option selection, the factory-installed sensor is either field-connected by
capillary tubing to the unit-mounted ductstat (FIGURE 24) or electrically connected to a remote
electronic temperature selector (FIGURE 25). The remote temperature selector is available with or
without a display module.
See FIGURE 23 for a general location of the factory-installed sensor with either the factorymounted or the remote ductstat selector option.
1. Remove access panel in ductwork

has an adjustable range from 0° to 100°F with a fixed differential of 2-1/2°F. Due to different CFM
settings and outside air temperatures, the average downstream outlet temperature may not match
the ductstat setting exactly. After the installation is complete, adjust the setpoint of the ductstat
to achieve the desired average outlet air temperature.
Optional Ductstat with Electronic Remote Setpoint Module (Options AG15 and AG16) -- The
field-installed sensing probe is field-wired to a remote temperature selector with a temperature
operating range to 130°F. The remote modules and sensing probe are shipped separately for field

21. Optional
Electronic
Modulation
FIGURE 26 - Maxitrol
Signal Conditioner used
in both Option AG21 and
Option AG40
The type and capability of the electronic modulation system, depends on the option selected.
Electronic modulation options are identified by a suffix to the Serial No. printed on the heater
rating plate. AG7 is identified as MV-1; AG8 is identified as MV-3; AG9 is identified as MV-4; AG21
is identified as MV-A; AG39 is identified as MP-1; and AG40 is identified as MP-2.
Installation NOTE: Sizes 350 and 400 with electronic modulation require a minimum of 6" w.c.
natural gas supply pressure.
21A. Electronic Modulation between 50% and 100% Firing Rate
(Options AG7, AG8, AG9)
Depending on the heat requirements as established by the thermistor sensor, the burner modulates between 100% and 50% firing. The thermistor is a resistor that is temperature sensitive in
that as the surrounding temperature changes, the Ohms resistance changes through the thermistor. This change is monitored by the solid state control center (amplifier) which furnishes
varying DC current to the modulating valve to adjust the gas input.
Each modulating valve is basically a regulator with electrical means of raising and lowering the
discharge pressure. When no DC current is fed to this device, it functions as a gas pressure
regulator, supplying 3.5" w.c. pressure to the main operating valve.
Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the furnace for proper wiring connections. Electronic
modulation for heating controlled by a specially designed room thermostat (60°-85°F) is identified as Option AG7. Electronic modulation control systems for makeup air applications controlled
by a duct sensor and temperature selector (55-90°F) are identified as either Option AG8 or Option
AG9. The temperature selector setting for Option AG8 is on the amplifier; Option AG9 has a
remote temperature selector. Both systems are available with an override thermostat.
21B. Computer Controlled Electronic Modulation between 50%
and 100% Firing Rate (Option AG21)
With this option the furnace is equipped with a Maxitrol signal conditioner which operates much
the same way as the amplifier above to control the regulator valve. The conditioner accepts an
input signal of either 4-20 milliamps or 0-10 volts from a customer-supplied control device such as
a computer. With the dip switches on the conditioner in the "on" positions, the conditioner
accepts a 4-20 milliamp signal. In the "off" positions, the conditioner accepts a 0-10V signal. The
conditioner converts the signal to the 0 to 20 volt DC current required to control the modulating
valve.

(U.S. Patent
6,109,255),
Option AG39 -

only
Form RZ-NA I-SCE, Page 26
Depending on the size, furnaces equipped with electronic modulation Option AG39 have a 2028% turndown ratio. The furnace will ignite at any input rate in the available range and will
maintain average thermal efficiencies equal to or greater than the thermal efficiency at full fire.
The gas train includes a single-stage gas valve, a modulating valve, and two gas pressure
switches. The burner rack is equipped with one flash carryover and a regulated gas lighter tube
system. The carryover lighter tube receives its gas supply through the regulator, simultaneously
with the gas to the burner. Control of the system is through a Maxitrol #ES410A amplifier with a
corresponding remote temperature dial (Maxitrol #ES410TD).

Note: Arrangement may vary slightly
depending on gas valve; components

Single-Stage
Gas Valve
The gas supply (see pressure requirements in the table above) connects to the single-stage gas
valve. To compensate for additional pressure loss through the modulating valve, the single-stage
gas valve has a custom outlet pressure setting higher than when it is used on a standard gas
manifold. The pilot tubing connects to the pilot port on the single-stage gas valve. When the
valve receives a call for heat from the amplifier and pilot is established, gas flow from the singlestage valve goes to both the modulating valve and the regulated lighter tube system. When the
signal from the amplifier to the modulating valve requires less-than-high fire operation, the modulating valve functions to lessen the gas flow to the burner to reduce the input rate to that required
to maintain the desired temperature. When the input rate is reduced enough to decrease the gas
pressure to 1.1" w.c., the primary gas pressure switch in the manifold activates the gear motor that
controls the bypass damper in the venter/combustion air system. The bypass damper opens
diverting some of the incoming air directly into the flue duct, reducing airflow through the burner.
Safety switches monitor the position of the bypass damper. When the gas pressure increases
above 1.1" w.c., the bypass damper closes.

Sensor Location
This uniquely designed modulation system requires combustion air pressure settings different
from the standard system. The
approximate settings for the
combustion air proving switch
at sea-level operation are:
For the convenience of the installer, the duct temperature sensor is factory installed in the cabinet
leg (See FIGURE 23, page 25). Although the sensor has a mixing tube, at this distance from the
discharge it does not receive a true mix, so the temperature read by the sensor will be slightly
higher than the actual air entering the ductwork. The system will provide comfort level heat if the
selector is set slightly higher to compensate for this reading. If a direct correlation of these two
temperatures is required, move the duct sensor to a location in the ductwork about 10-12 feet (3-
3.7 M) from the furnace discharge.
Wiring and Service
For wiring, consult the wiring diagram attached to the furnace. All wires in the electrical box
connecting the modulation controls must have a temperature rating of 150°C.
This is a unique system which includes custom-built components and custom settings. If
service is required, follow the general troubleshooting guide on page 35 and the special troubleshooting guide in FIGURE 28.

22. Pilot and
Ignition
Systems
Ignition System
Natural gas units are equipped with a spark ignited intermittent safety pilot system that shuts off
the pilot gas flow between heat cycles. Propane units (or as an option on natural gas units)
require a lockout device that stops the gas flow to the pilot if the pilot fails to light in 120 seconds.
The lockout device requires manual set by interruption of the thermostat circuit. Refer to the
wiring diagram supplied with the unit for pilot system identification and proper wiring. Pilot with
lockout is Option AH3; spark pilot without lockout is Option AH2.
Ignition Controller
As part of the intermittent safety pilot systems, the ignition controller provides the high voltage
spark to ignite the pilot gas and also acts as the flame safety device. After ignition of the pilot gas,
the ignition controller electronically senses the pilot flame. A low voltage DC electrical signal is
imposed on the separate metal probe in the pilot assembly. The metal probe is electrically insulated from ground. The pilot flame acts as a conduction path to ground completing the DC circuit
and proving pilot flame. Proper operation of the electronic spark ignition system requires aminimum flame signal of .2 microamps DC as measured by a microampmeter. With pilot flame
proven, the ignition controller energizes the main gas valve.
CAUTION: Due to high voltage on pilot spark wire and pilot electrode, do
not touch when energized. See Hazard Levels, page 2.
Pilot
All pilots are vertical, target type with lint-free feature. Pilot flame should be approximately 1-1/4"
in length. Pilot gas pressure should be the same as the supply line pressure. Pilot gas is supplied
through the combination valve; the pilot gas flow is controlled by an adjustment screw located in
the valve body. For maintenance, see Paragraphs 30 and 31.
23. Burners,
Orifices, and
Carryover
System
Burners
Individually formed steel burners capable of operating on either natural or propane gas are used
in this heater. These burners have accurate, machine-formed ports to give controlled flame stability and operation without lifting or flashback. All burners are lightweight and factory mounted in
an assembly which permits all of the burners to be removed as a unit for inspection or service.
Burner Carryover Systems
All natural gas burners (except when equipped with electronic modulation Option AG39 or AG40;
see Paragraph 21) are equipped with two flash carryover systems, one on each end of the burner
rack. (NOTE: A natural gas burner rack on furnaces manufactured prior to Series 6 had a gas
lighter tube carryover and one flash carryover.)
All propane gas burners are equipped with one flash carryover and a regulated gas lighter tube
system. The carryover lighter tube receives its gas supply through a regulator, simultaneously
with the gas to the burner orifices.
During regular service, check the main burner ports, the carryover assemblies, and the orifices for
cleanliness.

Verify suspension/mounting methods and clearances. See Paragraphs 5 and 6.
Verify that the bolts removed from the shipping clips were returned to the heater cabinet.
See Paragraph 4.
Check duct connections. See Paragraph 8.
Check venting. See Paragraph 9. Be sure that flue discharge and combustion air openings
are free of obstructions.
Be sure electrical entrance and gas supply pipe openings are sealed.
Be sure that all condensate drains are open. See Paragraph 7.
Electrical Checks:
Be certain the electrical supply matches voltage rating of the furnace. (See rating plate.)
Check all field wiring against the wiring diagram. Be sure that wire gauges are as required
for the electrical load.
Check that fuses or circuit breakers are in place and sized correctly.
Gas Supply Checks:
Check piping for leaks and proper gas line pressure. Bleed gas lines of trapped air. See
Paragraph 10.
a) Turn manual shutoff valve to off position.
b) Turn gas supply on.
c) Observe gas meter for movement, or
d) Attach pressure gauge readable to .1" w.c. and after turning gas on for ten seconds,
turn gas supply off. No change in pressure should occur over a three-minute period.
e) If either c) or d) above indicate a leak, locate leak by brushing a soapy solution on
all fittings. Bubbles will appear at a leak. Repair and repeat tests.
Blower Checks:
Check blower pulley and motor pulley to be sure they are secure to the shafts. Check belt
tension and alignment. See Paragraph 17.
Check the rotation of the blower. See Paragraph 17.
Verify the removal of all shipping supports. See Paragraph 4.
Check damper linkage. See Paragraph 26.
Startup
Form RZ-NA I-SCE, Page 30
Close all panels tightly. Turn electric and gas supply on to the furnace. Adjust the thermo-
stat or ductstat so that a call for heat exists. Observe for complete sequencing of safety
pilot and ignition.
Page 31
Operating Sequence
1. Set the thermostat switch at its lowest setting.
2. Turn on power.
3. Turn on the manual gas valves.
4. Set thermostat at desired setting.
5. Thermostat calls for heat
(a) The venter motor is energized after 15-second (approximate) time delay.
(b) Venter flow switches from N.C. to N. O. contacts, energizing the pilot gas valve
and spark gap to produce a pilot flame on each operating cycle. The sensing probe
proves the presence of the pilot flame and energizes the safety switch portion of
the control. The switch action de-energizes the spark gap and energizes the main
valve. The main gas ignites and the unit fires at full rate.
(c) If the flame is extinguished during main burner operation, the safety switch closes
the main valve and recycles the spark gap. On unit equipped with a G770NGC-4
controller which includes lockout control, if the pilot is not established within 120
seconds (approximately), the unit locks out and must be reset by interrupting the
power to the control circuit (See Lighting Instructions).
6. Blower motor operates from fan time delay.
7. Thermostat is satisfied.
(a) Solenoid gas valve de-energized.
(b) Pilot gas valve de-energized.
(c) Ignition controller de-energized.
(d) Time delay relay keeps venter motor on for approximately one minute (post purge).
8. To shut down, set thermostat to lowest setting. Blower motor remains on as determined by
fan time delay.
Check installation
after startup:
Observe burner flame at full fire. Natural gas flame should be about 1-1/2" in height with blue
coloring. Propane gas flame should be approximately the same length with blue coloring.
Yellow tipping may appear on propane gas. If yellow extends beyond 1/2 to 3/4", adjust air
shutters. See Paragraph 24. If shutter adjustment will not reduce yellowing, check for gas
leaks at the control manifold or orifice fitting.
Turn the unit off and on, pausing two minutes between each cycle. Observe for smooth
ignition. On two-stage or modulating burner systems, manipulate temperature adjustment
slowly up and down to see if control is sequencing or modulating properly. Raising
temperature setting drives burner on or to full fire.
Using a manometer or slant gauge readable up to 14" w.c., check orifice manifold for
operating pressure on full fire. Natural gas should be 3.5" w.c. at this point. Propane gas
should be 10" w.c. at this point. Variations from these pressures are not recommended, as
ignition and efficiency performance can be adversely affected by improper pressure
adjustment. See Paragraph 10.
If the system is equipped with an optional dirty filter switch, set the switch. Follow the
instructions in Paragraph 27A.
Place "Owner's Envelope" containing Limited Warranty Card, this booklet, and any optional
information in an accessible location near the heater. Follow the instructions on the
envelope.
DANGER: The gas burner in this gas-fired equipment is designed and equipped to provide safe, controlled
complete combustion. However, if the installation does not permit the burner to receive the proper supply
of combustion air, complete combustion may not occur. The result is incomplete combustion which produces
carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can cause death. Safe operation of separated-combustion, indirectfired gas burning equipment requires a sealed, properly operating vent system which vents all flue products
to the outside atmosphere. FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTING WILL RESULT IN A HEALTH
HAZARD WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Install either the horizontal or vertical combustion air/vent system illustrated in Paragraph 9 using the
concentric adapter supplied. Always comply with the combustion air requirements in the installation codes
and instructions. Combustion air at the burner should be regulated only by manufacturer-provided
equipment. NEVER RESTRICT OR OTHERWISE ALTER THE SUPPLY OF COMBUSTION AIR TO
ANY HEATER. CHECK THE COMBUSTION AIR/VENT SYSTEM FOR SOUNDNESS AND
FUNCTION; MAINTAIN IT IN PROPER OPERATING CONDITION.

SERVICE AND
MAINTENANCE
This unit will operate with a minimum of maintenance. To ensure long life and satisfactory performance, a furnace that is operating under normal conditions should be inspected every four
months. If the furnace is operating in an area where an unusual amount of dust or soot or other
impurities are present in the air, more frequent inspection is recommended.
WARNING: If you turn off the power supply, turn off the gas. See Hazard Levels, page 2.
NOTE: Use only factory-authorized replacement parts.
28. Operating Gas
Valve
WARNING: The operating valve is the prime safety shutoff. All gas supply
lines must be free of dirt or scale before connecting to the unit to ensure
positive closure. See Hazard Levels, page 2.
Remove external dirt accumulation and check wiring connections.
The combination gas valve must be checked annually to ensure that the valve is shutting off gas
flow completely.

3) With the field-installed manual valve remaining closed, observe the manometer for two to three minutes for an indication of gas
pressure. No pressure should be indicated on the manometer.
If the manometer indicates a gas pressure, the field-installed manual gas valve must be replaced or repaired before the combination gas valve can be checked.
4) If the manometer does not indicate gas pressure, slowly open the field-installed manual gas valve. After the manometer's
indicated gas pressure has reached equilibrium, close the manual shutoff valve. Observe the gas pressure. There should be no
loss of gas pressure on the manometer. If the manometer indicates a loss of pressure, replace the combination gas valve before
placing the heater in operation.

2. Pull main burners horizontally away from injection opening and lift out.
3. Remove manifold bracket screws and remove manifold.
4. Remove burner orifices.
5. Remove screws and lift out pilot burner.
Follow the instructions in Paragraph 30 to clean. To re-assemble and replace, reverse the above
procedures being careful not to create any unsafe conditions.
31. Cleaning Pilot
and Burners
CAUTION: When
cleaning, wearing eye
protection is
recommended.
32. Spark Ignition
System
CAUTION: Due to
high voltage on pilot
spark wire and pilot
electrode, do not touch
when energized. See
Hazard Levels, page 2.
In the event the pilot flame is short and/or yellow, check the pilot orifice for blockage caused by
lint or dust accumulation. Remove the pilot orifice and clean with air pressure. DO NOT REAM
THE ORIFICE. Check and clean the aeration slot in the pilot burner.
Clean the metal sensing probe and the pilot hood with an emery cloth and wipe off the ceramic
insulator. Check the spark gap; spark gap should be maintained to .100". After the pilot is cleaned,
blow any dirt away with compressed air.
Clean main burners and burner orifices using air pressure. Use an air nozzle to blow out scale and
dust accumulation from the burner ports. Alternately blow through the burner ports and the
venturi. Use a fine wire to dislodge any stubborn particles from the burner ports. Do not use
anything that might change the port size.
Clean the burner rack carryover systems with air pressure.
The ignition controller provides the high voltage spark to ignite the pilot service and also acts as
the flame safety device. After ignition of the pilot gas, the controller electronically senses the
pilot flame. A separate solid metal probe in the pilot burner assembly is used to sense the flame.
A low voltage DC electrical signal is imposed on the metal probe which is electrically insulated
from ground. Proper operation of the electronic spark ignition system requires a minimumflame signal of .2 microamps DC as measured by a microampmeter. When the pilot flame
impinges on the sensing probe, the flame acts as a conduction path to ground. This completes
the DC circuit; the ignition controller responds by energizing the main gas valve.
If no spark occurs, check the following:
a) Voltage between blue and white terminals (non-lockout type pilot) and Terminals 2 and 5
(lockout type pilot) on the ignition controller should be at least 20 volts and no higher than
32 volts. Refer to Troubleshooting (Paragraph 36) if no voltage is observed.
b) Short to ground in the high tension lead and/or ceramic insulator.
c) Pilot spark gap should be approximately .100". (See FIGURE 35.)
NOTE: When checking for spark with the pilot burner assembly removed from the burner rack,
the pilot assembly must be grounded to the heater for proper spark.
If the above conditions are normal and no spark occurs, replace the ignition controller.

If the main gas valve fails to open with a normal full size pilot flame established, check for the
following:
a) If voltage between black and brown leads on the main gas valve is 20 to 32 VAC and there is
no main gas flow with the built-in manual valve in FULL OPEN position, the main valve is
defective.
b) If there is no voltage between black and brown leads on the main gas valve, check for
disconnected or shorted flame sensor lead or flame sensor probe.
When the above conditions are normal and the main gas flow is still off, the ignition controller is
probably defective. Do not attempt to service the ignition controller; it does not contain any
replaceable components.

To clean the inner surfaces of the heat exchanger, remove the burner rack assembly (See Paragraph 29.) permitting access to the inside of the heat exchanger tubes.
Clean the tubes using a 1/2" diameter furnace brush. A mirror and flashlight are helpful in examining the narrow section of each tube. Remove any accumulated dust and soot.
Power venter motors are permanently lubricated. No oiling is required.
Check blower pulley and motor pulley to be sure they are secured to the shaft. Check belt
condition and belt tension (See Paragraph 17).
With the heater on, completely block off the distribution air. The limit control should open within
a few minutes, shutting off gas supply to the main burners.
