SECTION II: DUCTWORK
DUCTWORK GENERAL INFORMATION
The duct system’s design and installation must:
1.Handle an air volume appropriate for the served space and within
the operating parameters of the furnace specifications.
2.Be installed in accordance with standards of NFPA (National Fire
Protection Association) as outlined in NFPA pamphlets 90A and
90B (latest editions) or applicable national, provincial, or state, and
local fire and safety codes.
3.Create a closed duct system. For residential and Non-HUD Modular Home installations, when a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the
space containing the furnace, the return air shall also be handled
by a duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and terminating outside
the space containing the furnace.
4.Complete a path for heated or cooled air to circulate through the
air conditioning and heating equipment and to and from the conditioned space.
The cooling coil must be installed in the supply air duct, downstream of the furnace. Cooled air may not be passed over the heat
exchanger.
When the furnace is used in conjunction with a cooling coil, the coil
must be installed parallel with, or in the supply air side of the furnace to
avoid condensation in the primary heat exchanger. When a parallel flow
arrangement is used, dampers or other means used to contro l airflow
must be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If
manually operated, the damper must be equipped with means to prevent the furnace or the air conditioner from operating unless the damper
is in full heat or cool position.
The duct system must be properly sized to obtain the correct airflow
for the furnace size that is being installed.
Refer to Table 7 and the furnace rating plate for the correct rise
range and static pressures
If the ducts are undersized, the result will be high duct static pressures and/or high temperature rises which can result in a heat
exchanger OVERHEATING CONDITION. This condition can result
in premature heat exchanger failure, which can result in personal
injury, property damage, or death.
FLOOR BASE AND DUCTWORK INSTALLATION
Downflow Combustible Floor Base
Installations on combustible materials require the use a combustible floor base shown in Figure 1.
The floor base must be secured to the floor. A supply air duct
plenum with 1" (2.54 cm) flange is installed through the
opening provided. The supply air duct is then secured to the
duct system with screws and sealed to prevent leaks. Do not
shoot screws through the flanges of the supply air duct into the top of
the combustible floor base. Install the furnace on the combustible floor
base so that the corners of the furnace are parallel with the corner
brackets of the floor base. Follow the instructions supplied with the
combustible floor base accessory.
This combustible floor base can be replaced with a matching cooling
coil, properly sealed to prevent leaks. Follow the instructions supplied
with the cooling coil cabinet for installing the cabinet to the duct connector. Refer to the installation instructions for additional information.
When replacing an existing furnace, if the existing plenum is not the
same size as the new furnace then the existing plenum must be
removed and a new plenum installed that is the proper size for the new
furnace.
Ductwork Installation
NOTE: When attaching duct flange, do not shoot the screw down into
the casing. Use the formed flange intended for duct flange attachment.
A proper Heat Loss/Gain Calculation should be done on all installations
for proper application of equipment. From this the ductwork sizing can
be calculated, ACCA Manual J and D and industry standards are helpful.
The duct system is a very important part of the installation. If the duct
system is improperly sized the furnace will not operate properly.
The ducts attached to the furnace plenum, should be of sufficient size
so that the furnace plenum should be if sufficient size so that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure and within the air
temperature rise specified on the nameplate.
Table 2 is a guide for determining whether the rectangular duct system
that the furnace is being connected to be of sufficient size for proper furnace operation.
4Unitary Products Group
Page 5
268890-UIM-B-0607
Use the Example below to help you in calculating the duct area to determine whether the ducts have sufficient area so that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure and within the air
temperature rise specified on the nameplate.
The following are general duct sizing guidelines that may not serve to
requirements of every application.
Example: The furnace input is 80,000 BTUH, 1,200 CFM blower
requirement. The recommended duct area is 216 sq.in, there are two 8
x 12 rectangular ducts attached to the plenum and there are two 7 inch
round ducts attached to the furnace.
2.The square inch area for 7 inch round ducts, 38.4 square inch x 2
= 76.8 square inches,
3.Then take the 192 square inch from the rectangular duct and add it
to the 76.8 square inch of round duct. The total square inch of duct
attached to the furnace supply plenum is 268.8 square inches.
This exceeds the recommended 216 square inch of duct.
In this example, the duct system attached to the plenum has a sufficient
area so that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure and within the air temperature rise specified on the nameplate.
Providing the return duct is properly sized as well.
1.Take 8 x 12, which equals 96 square inch x 2 = 192 square inches
then go to round duct size located in Table 3.

There are several variables associated with proper duct sizing that are
not included in the tables. To properly design the ductwork for the building, Refer to the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook, Chapter on
“DUCT DESIGN” or a company that specializes in Residential and Modular Home duct designs.
IMPORTANT: If the supply air duct is being connected to the furnace
without the use of an accessory duct connector, then a transition duct
The supply air temperature MUST NEVER exceed the Maximum
Supply Air Temperature, specified on the nameplate.
Operating the furnace above the maximum supply air temperature
will cause the heat exchanger to overheat, causing premature heat
exchanger failure. Improper duct sizing, dirty air filters, incorrect
manifold pressure, incorrect gas orifice and/or a faulty limit switch
can cause the furnace to operate above the maximum supply air
temperature. Refer to sections II, III, IX & X for additional information on correcting the problem.

Downflow Air Conditioning Coil Cabinet
The Cooling Coil Cabinet can be used in place of the combustible floor
base for downflow installations on combustible materials. The furnace
should be installed with the cooling coil cabinet specifically intended for
downflow applications. The cooling coil cabinet must be secured to the
floor. A supply air duct plenum is installed through the opening provided. The supply air duct is then secured to the duct system with
screws and sealed to prevent leaks. If a matching cooling coil is used, it
may be placed directly on the furnace outlet using the accessory transition kit and sealed to prevent leakage. The transition kit must be used to
secure the cooling coil cabinet to the furnace casing when installed in a
downflow configuration.
These kits are required in downflow application when using G*F* series
coils. These kits are not required with MC/FC series coils, but please
ensurethat the coil and furnace are sucured and that there are noair
leaks.
This transition kit may be installed in one of two ways. The transition kit
may be installed and secured to either the furnace or the cooling coil
cabinet by the use of screws and then it must be sealed to prevent
leaks.
• If the transition kit has been installed on the cooling coil cabinet it
must be secured to the cooling coil cabinet with screws. The supply air side of the furnace is then placed on the cooling coil cabinet and then sealed for leaks.
• If the transition kit has been installed on the supply air side of the
furnace it must be secured to the furnace with screws. The furnace and the transition kit are then placed on the cooling coil cabinet and then sealed for leaks.
NOTE: Refer to instructions packed out with coil cabinet, for securing
and sealing to the furnace.
IMPORTANT: The furnace, transition kit, and the cooling coil cabinet
MUST BE SEALED as needed to prevent leaks, AND SECURED. Refer
to the assembly drawing in Figure 2.
IMPORTANT: On all installations without a coil, a removable access
panel is recommended in the outlet duct such that smoke or reflected
light would be observable inside the casing to indicate the presence of
leaks in the heat exchanger. This access cover shall be attached in
such a manner as to prevent leaks.

Attach the return plenum to the furnace inlet duct flanges. This is typically through the use of S cleat material when a metal plenum is used.
The use of an approved flexible duct connector is recommended on all
installations. The connection of the plenum to the furnace and all the
ducts connecting to the plenum must be sealed to prevent air leakage.
The sheet metal should be crosshatched to eliminate any popping of
the sheet metal when the indoor fan is energized.
The duct system is a very important part of the installation. If the duct
system is improperly sized the furnace will not operate properly. The
ducts attached to the furnace must be of sufficient size so that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure and within the air
temperature rise specified on the nameplate.
Attic installations must meet all minimum clearances to combustibles
and have floor support with required service accessibility.

Downflow Filters
Downflow furnaces typically are installed with the filters located above
the furnace, extending into the return air plenum or duct. Any branch
duct (rectangular or round duct) attached to the plenum must attach to
the vertical plenum above the filter height.
Filters(s) may be located in the duct system external to the furnace
using an external duct filter box attached to the furnace plenum or at the
end of the duct in a return filter grille(s). The use of straps and / or supports is required to support the weight of the external filter box.
If the accessory electronic air cleaner is installed, be sure the air
cleaner is designed to accommodate the furnace CFM (cm/m) and the
air cleaner is installed so it does not obstruct the return airflow. Consideration should be given when locating the air cleaner for maintenance
and temperatures should the indoor fan motor fail to operate. The use
of straps and / or supports is required to support the weight of the electronic air cleaner. It is recommended that the air cleaner not be located
within 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the top of the return air opening on the
furnace. Refer to the instructions supplied with the electronic air
cleaner.
All loose accessories shipped with the furnace must be removed
from the blower compartment, prior to installation.
If pleated media air filters or any filter that has a large pressure drop is
installed in the return air duct system be sure that the pressure drop
caused by the air filter will not prevent the furnace from operating within
the rise range specified on the rating plate. If the furnace does not operate within the specified rise range then a larger air filter or an air filter
that has a lower pressure drop must be installed.
IMPORTANT: For easier filter access in a downflow configuration, a
removable access panel is recommended in the vertical run of the
return air plenum immediately above the furnace.

GAS SAFETY
An overpressure protection device, such as a pressure regulator,
must be installed in the gas piping system upstream of the furnace
and must act to limit the downstream pressure to the gas valve so it
does not exceed 0.5 PSI {14" w.c. (3.48 kPa)}. Pressures exceeding 0.5 PSI {14” w.c. (3.48 kPa)} at the gas valve will cause damage
to the gas valve, resulting in a fire or explosion or cause damage to
the furnace or some of its components that will result in property
damage and loss of life.

GAS PIPING INSTALLATION
Properly sized wrought iron, approved flexible or steel pipe must be
used when making gas connections to the unit. If local codes allow the
use of a flexible gas appliance connection, always use a new listed connector. Do not use a connector that has previously serviced another gas
appliance.
Some utility companies or local codes require pipe sizes larger than the
minimum sizes listed in these instructions and in the codes. The furnace
rating plate and the instructions in this section specify the type of gas
approved for this furnace - only use those approved gases. The installation of a drip leg and ground union is required. Refer to Figure 8.

IMPORTANT: An accessible manual shutoff valve must be installed
upstream of the furnace gas controls and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of the furnace.
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual external manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Never apply a pipe wrench to the body of the gas valve when
installing piping. A wrench must be placed on the octagonal hub
located on the gas inlet side of the valve. Placing a wrench to the
body of the gas valve will damage the valve causing improper operation and/or the valve to leak.
Gas piping may be connected from either side of the furnace using any
of the gas pipe entry knockouts on both sides of the furnace. Refer to
Figure 3 dimensions.
GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION FOR PROPANE (LP)
This furnace is constructed at the factory for natural gas-fired operation,
but may be converted to operate on propane (LP) gas by using a factory-supplied LP conversion kit. Follow the instructions supplied with
the LP kit. Refer to Table 6 or the instructions in the propane (LP) conversion kit for the proper gas orifice size.
HIGH ALTITUDE GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION
This furnace is constructed at the factory for natural gas-fired operation
at 0 – 8,000 feet (0-m – 2,438 m) above sea level.
The manifold pressure must be changed in order to manitain proper
and safe operation when the furnace is installed in a location where the
altitude is greater than 8,000 feet (2,438 m) above sea level. Refer to to
Table 6 for proper manifold pressure settings.
HIGH ALTITUDE PRESSURE SWITCH CONVERSION
For installation where the altitude is less than 8,000 feet (2,438 m), it is
not required that the pressure switch be changed. For altitudes above
8,000 feet (2,438 m), see Field Installed Accessories - High Altitude
pressure Switch.

TABLE 6:
Nominal Manifold Pressure
Manifold Pressures (in wc)Manifold Pressures (kpa)
It is very important to choose the correct kit and/or gas orifices for the altitude and the type of gas for which the furnace is being installed.
Only use natural gas in furnaces designed for natural gas. Only use propane (LP) gas for furnaces that have been properly converted to use propane (LP) gas. Do not use this furnace with butane gas.
Incorrect gas orifices or a furnace that has been improperly converted will create an extremely dangerous condition resulting in premature heat
exchanger failure, excessive sooting, high levels of carbon monoxide, personal injury, property damage, a fire hazard and/or death.
High altitude and propane (LP) conversions are required in order for the appliance to satisfactory meet the application.
An authorized distributor or dealer must make all gas conversions.
In Canada, a certified conversion station or other qualified agency, using factory specified and/or approved parts, must perform the conversion.
The installer must take every precaution to insure that the furnace has been converted to the proper gas orifice size when the furnace is installed.
Do not attempt to drill out any orifices to obtain the proper orifice size. Drilling out a gas orifice will cause misalignment of the burner flames,
causing premature heat exchanger burnout, high levels of carbon monoxide, excessive sooting, a fire hazard, personal injury, property damage
and/or death.

position, check all wiring against the unit wiring label. Refer to the
wiring diagram shown in Figure 41.
2.Remove the screws retaining the junction box cover. Route the
power wiring through the opening in the unit into the junction box
with a conduit connector or other proper connection. In the junction box there will be three wires, a Black Wire, a White Wire and a
Green Wire. Connect the power supply as shown on the unit-wiring label on the inside of the blower compartment door or Figure
10. The black furnace lead must be connected to the L1 (hot) wire
from the power supply. The white furnace lead must be connected
to neutral. Connect the green furnace lead (equipment ground) to
the power supply ground. An alternate wiring method is to use a
field provided 2” (5.08 cm) x 4” (10.2 cm) box and cover on the
outside of the furnace. Route the furnace leads into the box using
a protective bushing where the wires pass through the furnace
panel. After making the wiring connections replace the wiring box
cover and screws.
3.The furnace's control system requires correct polarity of the power
supply and a proper ground connection. If the power supply polarity is reversed, the control board will flash 9 times. The furnace will
not operate until the polarity is corrected. Refer to “Furnace Diagnostics” section of the “User’s Information, Maintenance, & Service Manual” provided with this furnace.

board to the yellow and brown wires on the condensing unit (unit outside). Refer to Figure 11.
IMPORTANT: Set the heat anticipator in the room thermostat to 0.45
amps. Setting it lower will cause short cycles. Setting it higher will cause
the room temperature to exceed the set points.Some electronic thermostats do not have adjustable heat anticipators. They may have other
type cycle rate adjustments. Follow the thermostat manufacturer's
instructions.
The 24-volt, 40 VA transformer is sized for the furnace components
only, and should not be connected to power auxiliary devices such as

SECTION VI: TWINNING AND STAGING
NOTE: Y ou can twin two furnaces that have the same integrated control
module. Check the part number on the integrated control module. You
cannot twin
part numbers. If the part numbers of the two integrated control modules
are different they may not communicate with each other so they will not
work in a twinning application.
In applications where more heating capacity or more airflow capacity is
needed than what one furnace can deliver, twinning can be used to
make two furnaces operate in tandem. When two furnaces are installed
using the same duct system, it is very important that the two furnace circulating air blowers operate in unison. If one blower starts before the
second blower, the duct system will become pressurized and the blower
on the second furnace will turn backwards causing the second furnace
to overheat, resulting in damage to the furnace. Twinning is used to
make two furnaces operate in tandem, using one duct system, one
room thermostat and causing both furnaces to turn on and off simultaneously.
Before installing the relay and wiring, disconnect electrical power to
both furnaces. Failure to cut power could result in electrical shock
or equipment damage.
The relay must not be installed in any location where it could be
exposed to water. If the relay has been exposed to water in any
way, it must not be used.
two furnaces that have different integrated control module
TWINNING DUCT SYSTEM
Twinned furnaces must only be applied on a common duct system. A
single air supply plenum must be used for both furnaces and coil(s).
Separate plenums and supply ducts systems cannot be utilized. A single return air plenum, common to both furnaces must be used.
Both furnaces must be identical models in both heating capacity and
CFM capacity. Both furnaces must be operated on the same motor
speed tap. See typical application, Figure 13.
If furnace staging is desired with two single stage furnaces on a common duct, where the gas burner on the first furnace operates on W1
and the gas burner on the second furnace operates on W2, then the
use of an air-mixing device in the plenum to mix the air from both furnaces is strongly recommended. The mixing device must be installed
before any ducts that supply air to occupied spaces. Twinning causes
both indoor fans to operate simultaneously. If a mixing device is not
used, any ducts that are connected down stream from the furnace that
operates on W2, will be supplying cold air in the Heating mode to the
occupied spaces unless W2 is energized.

2000 CFM (56.6 m
3
/m) units will yield a total 3400 CFM (96.3 m3/m).
GAS PIPING
Furnace gas supplies must be provided as specified with these instructions. Since the furnaces are side by side, with no space between, gas
supplies must enter on the right and left respectively. All gas piping
must be in accordance with the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1,
latest edition, and/or all local code or utility requirements.
TWINNING
In applications where more heating capacity or more airflow capacity is
needed than what one furnace can deliver, twinning can be used to
make two furnaces operate in tandem, using one duct system and one
room thermostat. When one duct system is used for two furnaces, it is
necessary that the two blowers operate in unison. The twinning function
of the board in this furnace ensures that both blowers turn on and off
simultaneously, and operate on the same blower speed.
Single-Wire Twinning
The control in the furnace has the single-wire twinning feature. With this
feature, a single wire is connected between the TWIN terminal on one
furnace board to the TWIN terminal on the second furnace board. The
board then communicates the blower status from one furnace to the
other along this wire. This communication makes the second furnace
blower come on at the same time, and on the same speed, as the first
furnace blower.

Single-Wire Twinning Operation
Heating - On a call for heat (W signal) from the wall thermostat, both
furnaces will start the ignition sequence and the burners on both furnaces will light. About thirty seconds after the burners light, the blowers
on both furnaces will come on in heating speed. When the thermostat is
satisfied, the burners will all shut off and, after the selected blower off
delay time, both blowers will shut off at the same time. The twinning
control ensures that both blowers come on and shut off at the same
time.
Cooling - On a call for cooling (Y signal) from the wall thermostat, both
furnace blowers will come on at the same time in cooling speed. When
the thermostat is satisfied, both blowers will stay on for 60 seconds,
then will shut off at the same time.
Continuous Fan - On a thermostat call for continuous fan (G signal),
both furnace blowers will come on at the same time in cooling speed
and will stay on until the G signal is removed.

make two furnaces operate in tandem, using one duct system and one
room thermostat. This control can also be used along with a two-stage
wall thermostat to stage two twinned furnaces, making them operate
like a single two-stage furnace. This allows only one furnace to supply
heat during times when the heat output from one furnace is sufficient to
satisfy the demand. When one duct system is used for two furnaces, it
is necessary that the two blowers operate in unison. The twinning function of this board ensures that both blowers turn on and off simultaneously, and operate on the same blower speed. Even when only one
furnace is supplying heat, both furnace blowers must run.
Single-Wire Staging
The single-wire twinning feature of this board can also be used for staging of two furnaces. With this feature, a single wire is connected
between the TWIN terminal on one furnace board to the TWIN terminal
on the second furnace board. The board then communicates the blower
status from one furnace to the other along this wire. This communication makes the second furnace blower come on at the same time, and
on the same speed, as the first furnace blower.
SECTION VII: COMBUSTION AIR AND
VENT SYSTEM
COMBUSTION AIR AND VENT SAFETY
This Category IV, dual certified direct vent furnace is designed for residential application. It may be installed without modification to the condensate system in a basement, garage, equipment room, alcove, attic
or any other indoor location provided the space temperature is 32 °F
(0°C) or higher and where all required clearance to combustibles and
other restrictions are met. The combustion air and the venting system
must be installed in accordance with Section 5.3, Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1/NFPA 54 (latest
edition), or Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of CSA B149.1, National Gas and
Propane Codes (latest edition) or applicable provisions of the local
building code and these instructions.
IMPORTANT: The “VENT SYSTEM” must be installed as specified in
these instructions for Residential and Non HUD Modular Homes. The
sealed combustion air / vent system is the only configuration that can
be installed in a Non HUD Modular Home.
14Unitary Products Group
Page 15
268890-UIM-B-0607
This furnace may not be common vented with any other appliance,
since it requires separate, properly sized air intake and vent lines.
The furnace shall not be connected to any type of B, BW or L vent
or vent connector, and not connected to any portion of a factorybuilt or masonry chimney
The furnace shall not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.
When combustion air pipe is installed above a suspended ceiling or
when it passes through a warm and humid space, the pipe must be
insulated with 1/2” Armaflex or other heat resistant type insulation.
Vent piping must be insulated with 1/2” insulation if it will be subjected to freezing temperatures such as routing through unheated
areas or through an unused chimney.
COMBUSTION AIR/VENT PIPE SIZING
The size of pipe required will be determined by the furnace model, the
total length of pipe required and the number of elbows required.
Table 8 lists the maximum equivalent length of pipe allowed for each
model of furnace. The equivalent length of elbows is shown in Table 9.
The equivalent length of the vent system is the total length of straight
pipe PLUS the equivalent length of all of the elbows.
The following rules must also be followed:
1.Long radius (sweep) elbows are recommended. Standard elbows
may be used, but since they have a longer equivalent length, they
will reduce the total length of pipe that will be allowed. Short radius
(plumbing vent) elbows are not allowed. The standard dimensions
of the acceptable elbows are shown below.
2.The maximum equivalent length listed in Table 8 is for the vent piping and the air intake piping separately. For example, if the table
allows 65 equivalent feet for a particular model, then the vent can
have 65 equivalent feet of pipe, AND the combustion air intake can
have another 65 equivalent feet of pipe.
3.Three vent terminal elbows (two for the vent and one for the combustion air intake) are already accounted for and need not be
included in the equivalent length calculation.
4.All combustion air and vent pipe must conform to American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards D1785 (Schedule 40 PVC),
D2665 (PVC-DWV), F891 (PVC-DWV Cellular Core), D2261
(ABS-DWV) or F628 (Schedule 40 ABS). Pipe cement and primer
must conform to ASTM Standard D2546 (PVC) or D2235 (ABS). If
ABS pipe is to be used, any joint where ABS pipe is joined to PVC
pipe must be glued with cement that is approved for use with
BOTH materials. Metallic materials must not be used for venting or
air intake.
5.If a flexible connector is used in the vent system, it must be made
of a material that is resistant to acidic exposure and to at least
225° F temperature. Flexible connectors are also allowed in the
combustion air pipe.
6.All models are supplied with 2" vent connections. When the pipe
must be increased to 3" diameter, the transition from 2" to 3" must
be done as close to the furnace as possible. For upflow models,
the transition from 2" to 3" should be done immediately above the
furnace. For downflow or horizontal models, the transition from 2"
to 3" pipe should be done immediately after the drain tee or drain
elbow.
7.In Canada, vents shall be certified to ULC S636, Standard for T ype
BH Gas Venting Systems. IPEX System 636 PVC is certified to
this standard.
8.In Canada, the first three feet (900 mm) of the vent must be readily
accessible for inspection.
TABLE 8:
TABLE 9:
Example:
An 80,000 BTUH furnace requires 32 feet of pipe and four 90º elbows.
Using 2" pipe and standard elbows, the total equivalent length will be:
This exceeds the 65 foot maximum equivalent length of 2" pipe allowed
for that model and is thus not
By using sweep elbows, the total equivalent length will be:
This is less than the 65 foot maximum equivalent length of 2" pipe
allowed for that model and is thus acceptable.
Alternatively, using 3" pipe and standard elbows, the total equivalent
length will be:
This is less than the 90 foot maximum equivalent length of 3" pipe
allowed for that model and is thus acceptable.
Dimensions are those required in Standard ASTM D-3311.
NOTE: Sidewall vent terminal may be used for sidewall vent terminations. Refer to part list in the back of the USERS INFORMATION AND
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL for the terminal part number.

COMBUSTION AIR AND VENT PIPING ASSEMBLY
The final assembly procedure for the combustion air and vent piping is
as follows:
1.Cut piping to the proper length beginning at the furnace.
2.Deburr the piping inside and outside.
3.Chamfer (bevel) the outer edges of the piping.
4.Dry-fit the vent piping assembly from the furnace to the outside termination checking for proper fit support and slope.
5.Dry-fit the combustion air piping assembly checking for proper fit,
support and slope on the following systems:
A.Sealed combustion air systems from the furnace to the out-
side termination.
B.Ventilated combustion air systems from the furnace to the
attic or crawl space termination.
Solvent cements are flammable and must be used in well-ventilated
areas only. Keep them away from heat, sparks and open flames.
Do not breathe vapors and avoid contact with skin and eyes.
6.Disassemble the combustion air and vent piping, apply cement
primer and the cement per the manufactures instructions. Primer
and cement must conform to ASTM D2564 for PVC, or ASTM
D2235 for ABS piping.
7.All joints must provide a permanent airtight and watertight seal.
8.Support the combustion air and vent piping such that it is angled a
minimum of 1/4” per foot (0.635 cm/m) so that condensate will flow
back towards the furnace. Piping should be supported with pipe
hangers to prevent sagging.
9.Seal around the openings where the combustion air and / or vent
piping pass through the roof or sidewalls.

All installations must comply with Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or Sections
7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2 Installation Code - latest editions.
This furnace is certified to be installed with one of three possible combustion air intake configurations.
1.OUTDOOR COMBUSTION AIR:
This is a sealed combustion air
configuration where the combustion air is supplied through a PVC
or ABS pipe that is connected to the PVC coupling attached to the
burner box and is terminated in the same atmospheric zone as the
vent. This type of installation is approved on all models. Refer to
Figures 25 & 27.
2.AMBIENT COMBUSTION AIR:
Combustion air is supplied from
the area surrounding the furnace through the combustion air pipe
in the furnace casing. The combustion air and the vent pipes are
not terminated in the same atmospheric zone. Refer to Figures 19
& 26 for vent terminations. Refer to “AMBIENT COMBUSTION
AIR SUPPLY” and “VENT AND SUPPLY OUTSIDE AIR SAFETY
CHECK PROCEDURE” for proper installation.
3.VENTILATED COMBUSTION AIR:
Combustion air is supplied
through a PVC or ABS pipe that is connected to the PVC coupling
attached to the burner box and is terminated in a ventilated attic or
crawl space. The combustion air and the vent pipes are not terminated in the same atmospheric zone. Refer to Figure 28 for crawl
space and attic termination. Only the combustion air intake may
terminate in the attic. The vent must terminate outside.
Outdoor Combustion Air
Combustion Air Intake/Vent Connections
This installation requires combustion air to be brought in from outdoors.
This requires a properly sized pipe (shown in Figures 31, 33, or 35) that
will bring air in from the outdoors to the furnace combustion air intake
collar on the burner box. The second pipe (shown in Figures 31, 33 or
35) is the furnace vent pipe.

The combustion air intake pipe should be located either through the
wall (horizontal or side vent) or through the roof (vertical vent). Care
should be taken to locate side vented systems where trees or shrubs
will not block or restrict supply air from entering the terminal.
Also, the terminal assembly should be located as far as possible from a
swimming pool or a location where swimming pool chemicals might be
stored. Be sure the terminal assembly follows the outdoor clearances
listed in Section #1 “COMBUSTION AIR QUALITY (LIST OF CONTAMINANTS).”
Fresh air pipe can either be routed through the furnace or routed ou tside the furnace.
Ambient Combustion Air Supply
This type installation will draw the air required for combustion from
within the space surrounding the appliance and from areas or rooms
adjacent to the space surrounding the appliance. This may be from
within the space in a non-confined location or it may be brought into the
furnace area from outdoors through permanent openings or ducts. It is
not piped directly into the burner box. A single, properly sized pipe from
the furnace vent connector to the outdoors must be provided. For downflow models combustion air is brought into the furnace through the unit
top panel opening. Do not install a pipe into the combustion air pipe at
the top of the furnace. Refer to Figures 19 & 26.
This type of installation requires that the supply air to the appliance(s) be of a sufficient amount to support all of the appliance (s)
in the area. Operation of a mechanical exhaust, such as an exhaust
fan, kitchen ventilation system, clothes dryer or fireplace may create conditions requiring special attention to avoid unsatisfactory
operation of gas appliances. A venting problem or a lack of supply
air will result in a hazardous condition, which can cause the appliance to soot and generate dangerous levels of CARBON MONOXIDE, which can lead to serious injury, property damage and / or
death.

Vent and Supply (Outside) Air Safety Check Procedure
Follow the procedure in ANSI Z223.1 National Fuel Gas Code. Refer to
the section on the “Recommended Procedure for Safety Inspection of
an Existing Appliance” or in Canada B149.1-00 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code section on “Venting Systems and Air Supply for
Appliances” and all local codes. In addition to the procedure specified in
ANSI Z223.1, it is recommended that you follow the venting safety procedure below. This procedure is designed to detect an inadequate ventilation system that can cause the appliances in the area to operate
improperly causing unsafe levels of Carbon Monoxide or an unsafe
condition to occur.
1.Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch.
Determine that there is no blockage, restriction, leakage, corrosion
or other deficiencies, which could cause an unsafe condition
2.Close all building doors and windows and all doors.
3.Turn on clothes dryers and TURN ON any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at
maximum speed. Open the fireplace dampers. Do not operate a
summer exhaust fan.
4.Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being
inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so the appliance shall
operate continuously.
5.Test each appliance (such as a water heater) equipped with a draft
hood for spillage (down-draft or no draft) at the draft hood relief
opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Appliances that
do not have draft hoods need to be checked at the vent pipe as
close to the appliance as possible. Use a combustion analyzer to
check the CO2 and CO levels of each appliance. Use a draft
gauge to check for a downdraft or inadequate draft condition.
6.After it has been determined that each appliance properly vents
when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust
fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to
their normal condition.
7.If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, a
problem exists with either the venting system or the appliance
does not have enough combustion air (Supply Air from outside) to
complete combustion. This condition must be corrected before the
appliance can function safely.

Ventilated Combustion Air
The ventilated attic space or a crawl space from which the combustion
air is taken must comply with the requirements specified in “COMBUSTION AIR SOURCE FROM OUTDOORS” in this instruction or in Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition). This type installation requires two
properly sized pipes. One brings combustion air from a properly ventilated attic space or crawl space and a second pipe that extends from
the furnace vent connection (top right of unit) to the exterior of the building. Refer to Table 8 for intake pipe sizing, allowable length and elbow
usage. Follow all notes, procedures and required materials in the
SEALED COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY section in these instructions
when installing the combustion air pipe from the unit and into a ventilated attic space or crawl space. DO NOT terminate vent pipe in an Attic
or Crawl Space.
Ventilated Combustion Air Termination
Refer to Figure 28 for required attic termination for the combustion air
intake pipe. For attic termination, use two 90 elbows with the open end
in a downward position. Be sure to maintain 12” (30.5 cm) clearance
above any insulation, flooring or other material.
A crawl space combustion air installation consists of a straight pipe from
the PVC coupling on the burner box that extends into the crawl space
and terminates with a 1/4” (0.63 cm) mesh screen and no elbows.

installation. It consists of the hoses shown below, a NPT male connection, and a 1/2” (1.27 cm) female x 3/4” (1.9 cm) PVC slip coupling.
Some of the drain hoses will be needed to convert the condensate drain
system when the furnace is installed in a horizontal left or right configuration. Refer to Figures 30 - 36 for the condensate hose sizes for condensate drain connections.
IMPORTANT: The condensate drain from the furnace may be connected in common with the drain from an air conditioning coil if allowed
by local code.
IMPORTANT: Condensate must be disposed of properly. Follow local
plumbing or wastewater codes. The drain line must maintain a 1/4" per
foot (0.635 cm per meter) slope to the drain.
CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP AND DRAIN FREEZE
PROTECTION
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an area,
which may drop below freezing. This can cause improper operation or
damage to the equipment. If the furnace is installed in an area that has
the potential of freezing, the drain line and the drain trap must be protected. Use a 3 to 6 watt per foot at 115 vac, 40º F (4.4° C) self-regulating, shielded and waterproof heat tape. Wrap the drain trap and the
drain line with the heat tape and secure with ties. Follow the heat tape
manufacturer's recommendations.
Furnace is shipped with one end of condensate hose #2 left open in the
furnace. If the provided Wye's drain is aligned with the opening in the
top of the furnace, hose #2 can be used. If it is desired that the Wye and
street elbow assembly point away from the opening in the casing top,
then the #2 hose will have to be replaced with provided #9 hose. The
dogleg end of hose #9 hose should be installed on the drain of the Wye.

CONDENSATE DRAIN TERMINATION
DO NOT terminate condensate drain in a chimney, or where the drain
line may freeze. The line must terminate at an inside drain to prevent
freezing of the condensate and possible property damage. DO NOT
trap the drain line at any other location than at the condensate drain
trap supplied with the furnace. A condensate sump pump MUST be
used if required by local codes, or if no indoor floor drain is available.
The condensate sump pump must be approved for use with acidic condensate.
268890-UIM-B-0607
CONDENSATE DRAIN PRE-START UP PROCEDURE
The condensate trap must be filled with water before putting the furnace
into operation. Perform the following procedures only after the condensate trap has been properly piped to a drain connection using the procedure in this instruction. The recommended procedure is as follows:
1.Disconnect the condensate drain hose from the induced draft
blower discharge.
2.Elevate this hose and fill with water using a funnel.
3.Replace the condensate drain hose and clamps. If this procedure
is not followed, the unit may not properly drain on initial start up.
SECTION IX: SAFETY CONTROLS
CONTROL CIRCUIT FUSE
A 3-amp fuse is provided on the control circuit board to pr otect the 24volt transformer from overload caused by control circuit wiring errors.
This is an ATO 3, automotive type fuse and is located on the control
board.
BLOWER DOOR SAFETY SWITCH
This unit is equipped with an electrical interlock switch mounted in the
blower compartment. This switch interrupts all power at the unit when
the panel covering the blower compartment is removed.
Electrical supply to this unit is dependent upon the panel that covers the
blower compartment being in place and properly positioned.
Main power to the unit must still be interrupted at the main power
disconnect switch before any service or repair work is to be done to
the unit. Do not rely upon the interlock switch as a main power disconnect.
Blower and burner must never be operated without the blower
panel in place.
ROLLOUT SWITCH CONTROLS
These controls are mounted on the burner box assembly. If the temperature in the burner box exceeds its set point, the ignition control and the
gas valve are de-energized. The operation of this control indicates a
malfunction in the combustion air blower, heat exchanger or a blocked
vent pipe connection. Corrective action is required. These are manual
reset controls that must be reset before operation can continue.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
This furnace is supplied with a pressure switch which monitors the flow
through the combustion air/vent piping system. This switch de-energizes the ignition control module and the gas valve if any of the following conditions are present. Refer to Figure 37 for tubing connections.
1.Blockage of combustion air piping or terminal.
2.Blockage of vent piping or terminal.
3.Failure of combustion air blower motor.
4.Blockage of condensate drain piping.
DOWNFLOW/HORIZONTAL
FIGURE 37: Pressure Switch Tubing Routing
LIMIT CONTROLS
There is high temperature limit control located on the furnace vestibule
panel near the gas valve. This is an automatic reset control that provides over-temperature protection due to reduced airflow. This may be
caused by
1.Dirty filter,
2.If the indoor fan motor should fail, or
3.Too many supply or return registers closed or blocked off.
The control module will lockout if the limit trips 5 consecutive times
within a single call for heat. Control will reset and try ignition again after
1 hour.
SECTION X: START-UP AND
ADJUSTMENTS
The initial start-up of the furnace requires the following additional
procedures:
IMPORTANT: All electrical connections made in the field and in the fac-
tory should be checked for proper tightness.
When the gas supply is initially connected to the furnace, the gas piping
may be full of air. In order to purge this air, it is recommended that the
ground union be loosened until the odor of gas is detected. When gas is
detected, immediately retighten the union and check for leaks. Allow
five minutes for any gas to dissipate before continuing with the start-up
procedure.
Perform the following procedures only after the condensate trap
has been properly piped to a drain connection using the procedure
in this instruction. Be sure proper ventilation is available to dilute
and carry away any vented gas.
TOOLS AND INFORMATION THAT WILL BE
REQUIRED IN ORDER TO PROPERL Y PERFORM THE
FURNACE STARTUP PROCEDURE.
1.Call the local gas supplier to obtain heating value of the natural
gas. If you cannot obtain the heating valve of the gas from the gas
supplier, you may use a default value of 1030 BTU/SCF (38.4 MJ /
m³).
2.You will need a thermometer or portable digital thermometer to
read the supply and return air temperatures.
3.You will need a U-tube manometer or digital equipment that has
the ability to read pressures between 0 – 15” in.w.c (0 - 3.73 kPa)
in order to measure the gas line and the manifold pressures.
4.You will need a 3/32” Allen wrench for the pressure port plugs in
the gas valve.
5.You will need 2 pieces of 1/8” (0.3 cm) ID flexible tubing that is 12”
(30 cm) in length, 2 – pieces of 1/8” (0.3 cm) tubing that are 4”
(10.1 cm) in length, a 1/8” (0.3 cm) tee and a 1/8” (0.3 cm) adapter
to connect the U-tube manometer or the digital pressure measuring equipment to the gas valve pressure ports.

268890-UIM-B-0607
There is an accessory kit (1PK0601) available from Source 1, which
has the following items:
These items are required in order to properly perform the required startup procedure.
IGNITION SYSTEM SEQUENCE
1.Turn the gas supply ON at external valve and main gas valve.
2.Set the thermostat above room temperature to call for heat.
3.System start-up will occur as follows:
a.The induced draft blower motor will start and come up to
speed. Shortly after inducer start-up, the hot surface igniter
will glow for about 17 seconds.
b.After this warm up, the ignition module will energize (open)
the main gas valve.
c.After flame is established, the supply air blower will start in
about 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT: Burner ignition may not be satisfactory on first startup
due to residual air in the gas line or until gas manifold pressure is
adjusted. The ignition control will make 3 attempts to light before locking out.
With furnace in operation, check all of the pipe joints, gas valve connections and manual valve connections for leakage using an approved gas
detector, a non-corrosive leak detection fluid, or other leak detection
methods. Take appropriate steps to stop any leak. If a leak persists,
replace the component.
The furnace and its equipment shutoff valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa).
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing the equipment shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system.
CALCULATING THE FURNACE INPUT
(NATURAL GAS)
NOTE: Burner orifices are sized to provide proper input rate using natural gas with a heating value of 1030 BTU/Ft
ing value of your gas is significantly different, it may be necessary to
replace the orifices.
NOTE: Front door of burner box must be secured when checking gas
input.
1.Turn off all other gas appliances connected to the gas meter.
2.At the gas meter, measure the time (with a stop watch) it takes to

Reading the gas pressure with the burner box cover removed -
Remove the screws securing the burner box front cover plate. Remove
the cover. The gasket and may stick in place. Connect the positive side
of the manometer to the gas valve as described in E above. There will
be no second connection to the manometer, as it will reference atmospheric pressure. Refer to Figure 39 for connection details.
IMPORTANT: The cap for the pressure regulator must be removed
entirely to gain access to the adjustment screw. Loosening or tightening
the cap does not adjust the flow of gas.
1.Refer to Figure 38 for location of pressure regulator adjustment
cap and adjustment screw on main gas valve.
2.Turn gas and electrical supplies on and follow the operating
instructions to place the unit back in operation.
3.Adjust manifold pressure by adjusting gas valve regulator screw
for the appropriate gas per the following:
TABLE 17:
Nominal Manifold Pressure
NOMINAL MANIFOLD PRESSURE
Natural Gas3.5" w.c. (0.87 kPa)
Propane (LP) Gas10.0" w.c. (2.488 kPa)
ADJUSTMENT OF MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE
Manifold gas pressure may be measured by two different procedures. It
may be measured with the burner box cover in place or it may be measured with the burner box cover removed. Follow th e appropriate section in the instructions below. Refer to Figure 38 for a drawing of the
locations of the pressure ports on the gas valve.
T urn gas off at the ball valve or gas cock on gas supply line
before the gas valve. Find the pressure ports on the gas
valve marked OUT P and IN P.
1.The manifold pressure must be taken at the port marked OUT P.
2.The gas line pressure must be taken at the port marked IN P.
3.Using a 3/32” (2.4 mm) Allen wrench, loosen the setscrew by turning it 1 turn counter clockwise. DO NOT REMOVE THE SET
SCREW FROM THE PRESSURE PORT.
Read the inlet gas pressure using either of the two methods below.
Reading the gas pressure with the burner box cover in place:
A.Disconnect the pressure reference hose from the right side of
the burner box. Using a tee fitting and a short piece of hose,
connect the negative side of the manometer to the burner
box as described in below.
B.Remove one end the 5/16” (0.8 cm) ID flexible tubing over
the pressure port on the burner box.
C.Insert the end of the 5/16” (0.8 cm) tubing, that has the 1/8”
(0.3 cm) adapter at the end of the tube, in to the 1/8” (0.3 cm)
tee.
D.Connect the 1/8” (0.3 cm) tee to the burner box adapter and
to the negative side of a U-tube manometer or digital pressure measuring equipment with 2 – 1/8” (0.3 cm) tubes.
E.Use the 5/16” (0.8 cm x 1/8” (0.3 cm) reducing coupling and a
4” (10.2 cm) piece of 1/8” (0.3 cm) tubing to connect the positive side of the manometer to the gas valve pressure reference port. Refer to Figure 39 for connection details.

IMPORTANT: If gas valve regulator is turned in (clockwise), manifold
pressure is increased. If screw is turned out (counterclockwise), manifold pressure will decrease.
4.After the manifold pressure has been adjusted, re-calculate the
furnace input to make sure you have not exceeded the specified
input on the rating plate. Refer to “CALCULATING THE FURNACE
INPUT (NATURAL GAS)”.
5.Once the correct BTU (kW) input has been established, turn the
gas valve to OFF and turn the electrical supply switch to OFF; then
remove the flexible tubing and fittings from the gas valve pressure
tap and the pressure reference hose from the right side of the
burner box and tighten the pressure tap plug using the 3/32”
Allen wrench. Replace the burner box front cover (if it was
removed) and place the pressure reference hose back on the gas
valve.
6.Turn the electrical and gas supplies back on, and with the burners
in operation, check for gas leakage around the gas valve pressure
port for leakage using an approved gas detector, a non-corrosive
leak detection fluid, or other leak detection methods.
The manifold pressure must be checked with the screw-off cap for
the gas valve pressure regulator in place. If not, the manifold pressure setting could result in an over-fire condition. A high manifold
pressure will cause an over-fire condition, which could cause premature heat exchanger failure. If the manifold pressure is too low,
sooting and eventual clogging of the heat exchanger could occur.
Be sure that gas valve regulator cap is in place and burner box to
gas valve pressure reference hose is connected.

ADJUSTMENT OF TEMPERATURE RISE
The temperature rise, or temperature difference between the return
air and the supply (heated) air from the furnace, must be within the
range shown on the furnace rating plate and within the application
limitations shown in Table 7 “ELECTRICAL AND PERFORMANCE
DATA”.
The supply air temperature cannot exceed the “Maximum SupplyAir Temperature” specified in these instructions and on the furnace rating plate. Under NO circumstances can the furnace be
allowed to operate above the Maximum Supply Air Temperature.
Operating the furnace above the Maximum Supply Air Temperature
will cause premature heat exchanger failure, high levels of Carbon
Monoxide, a fire hazard, personal injury, property damage, and/or
death.
The temperature rise, or temperature difference between the return air
and the heated supply air from the furnace, must be within the range
shown on the furnace rating plate and within the application limitations
as shown in Table 7.
After about 20 minutes of operation, determine the furnace temperature
rise. Take readings of both the return air and the heated air in the ducts,
about six feet (1.83 m) from the furnace where they will not be affected
by radiant heat. Increase the blower speed to decrease the temperature
rise; decrease the blower speed to increase the rise.

All direct-drive blowers have multi-speed motors. The blower motor
speed taps are located in the control box in the blower compartment.
Refer to Figure 40, and the unit-wiring label to change the blower
speed. To use the same speed tap for heating and cooling, the heat terminal and cool terminal must be connected using a jumper wire and
connected to the desired motor lead. Place all unused motor leads on
Park terminals. Two are provided.
Do not energize more than one motor speed at a time or damage to
the motor will result.
ADJUSTMENT OF FAN CONTROL SETTINGS
This furnace is equipped with a time-on/time-off heating fan control. The
fan on delay is fixed at 30 seconds. The fan off delay has 4 settings (60,
90, 120 and 180 seconds). The fan off delay is factory set to 120 seconds. The fan-off setting must be long enough to adequately cool the
furnace, but not so long that cold air is blown into the heated space. The
fan-off timing may be adjusted by positioning the jumper on two of the
four pins as shown in Figure 40.
The blower speed connections shown in Figure 40 are typical. However, these connections may vary from model to model and may be
changed as needed to give proper heating and cooling airflow.

FURNACE CONTROL DIAGNOSTICS
The furnace has built-in, self-diagnostic capability. If a system problem
occurs, a blinking LED shows a fault code. The LED can flash red,
green or amber to indicate various conditions. It is located behind a
clear view port in the blower compartment door.
The control continuously monitors its own operation and the operation
of the system. If a failure occurs, the LED will indicate the failure code. 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.
Flash sequence codes 1 through 10 are as follows: LED will turn “on”
for 1/4 second and “off” for 1/4 second. This pattern will be repeated the
number of times equal to the code. For example, six “on” flashes equals
a number 6 fault code. All flash code sequences are broken by a 2 second “off” period.
SLOW GREEN FLASH: Normal operation.
SLOW AMBER FLASH: Normal operation with call for heat.
RAPID RED FLASH: Twinning error, incorrect 24V phasing. Check
twinning wiring.
RAPID AMBER FLASH: Flame sense current is below 1.5 microamps.
Check and clean flame sensor. Check for proper gas flow.
4AMBER FLASHES: The control board is recieving a “Y” signal fr om
the thermostat without a “G” signal, indicating improper thermostat wiring.
1 RED FLASH: This indicates that flame was sensed when there was
not a call for heat. With this fault code the control will turn on both the
inducer motor and supply air blower. A gas valve that leaks through or
is slow closing would typically cause this fault.
2 RED FLASHES: This indicates that the normally open pressure
switch contacts are stuck in the closed position. The control confirms
these contacts are open at the beginning of each heat cycle. This would
indicate a faulty pressure switch or miswiring.
3 RED FLASHES: This indicates the normally open pressure switch
contact did not close after the inducer was energized. This could be
caused by a number of problems: faulty inducer, blocked vent pipe, broken pressure switch hose or faulty pressure switch.
4 RED FLASHES: This indicates that a primary or auxiliary limit switch
has opened its normally closed contacts. With this fault code the control
will operate the supply air blower and inducer. This condition may be
caused by: dirty filter, improperly sized duct system, incorrect blower
speed setting, incorrect firing rate or faulty blower motor.
5 RED FLASHES: This fault is indicated if the normally closed contacts
in the rollout switch opens. The rollout control is manually reset. If it has
opened, check for proper combustion air, proper inducer operation, and
primary heat exchanger failure or burner problem. Be sure to reset the
switch after correcting the failure condition.
6 RED FLASHES: This indicates that after the unit was operating, the
pressure switch opened 4 times during the call for heat. If the main
blower is in a “Delay on” mode it will complete it, and any subsequent
delay off period. The furnace will lock out for one hour and then restart.
7 RED FLASHES: This fault code indicates that the flame could not be
established. This no-light condition occurred 3 times (2 retries) during
the call for heat before locking out. Low gas pressure, faulty gas valve,
faulty hot surface ignitor or burner problem may cause this. The furnace
will lock out for one hour and then restart.
8 RED FLASHES: This fault is indicated if the flame is lost 5 times (4
recycles) during the heating cycle. This could be caused by low gas
pressure or faulty gas valve. The furnace will lock out for one hour and
then restart.
9 RED F
problem. Both heating and cooling operations will be affected. Check
polarity at furnace and branch. Check furnace grounding. Check that
flame probe is not shorted to chassis.
10 RED FLASHES: Gas valve energized with no call for heat. Check
gas valve and gas valve wiring.
11 RED FLA SHES: This indicates that a primary or auxiliary limit switch
has opened its normally-closed contacts and has remained open for
more than five minutes. This condition is usually caused by a failed
blower motor or blower wheel.
12 RED FLASHES: This code indicates an open igniter circuit, which
could be caused by a disconnected or loose wire or by a cracked or broken igniter.
STEADY ON RED: Control failure. Replace control board.
60-MINUTE AUTOMATIC RESET FROM LOCKOUT: This control
includes a “watchdog” type circuit that will reset from a lockout condition
after 60 minutes. Operational faults 6,7,8 will be reset. This provides
protection to an unoccupied structure if a temporary condition exists
causing a furnace malfunction. An example would be a low incoming
gas supply pressure preventing unit operation. When the gas pressure
is restored, at some point the “watchdog” would restart the unit and provide heat for the house.

DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CODE STORAGE AND
RETRIEVAL
The control in this furnace is equipped with memory that will store up to
five error codes to allow a service technician to diagnose problems
more easily. This memory will be retained even if power to the furnace
is lost. This feature should only be used by a qualified service tech-
nician.
The control stores up to five separate error codes. If more than five
error codes have occurred since the last reset, only the five most recent
will be retained. The furnace control board has a button, labeled "LAST
ERROR" that is used to retrieve error codes. This function will only work
if there are no active thermostat signals. So any call for heating, cooling
or continuous fan must be terminated before attempting to retrieve error
codes.
To retrieve the error codes, push the LAST ERROR button. The LED on
the control will then flash the error codes that are in memory, starting
with the most recent. There will be a two-second pause between each
flash code. After the error codes have all been displayed, the LED will
resume the normal slow green flash after a five second pause. To
repeat the series of error codes, push the button again.
If there are no error codes in memory, the LED will flash two green
flashes. To clear the memory, push the LAST ERROR button and hold it
for more than five seconds. The LED will flash three green flashes when
the memory has been cleared, then will resume the normal slow green
flash after a five-second pause.

TABLE 19:
Filter Performance - Pressure Drop Inches W.C. and (kPa)
APPLYING FILTER PRESSURE DROP TO
DETERMINE SYSTEM AIRFLOW
To determine the approximate airflow of the unit with a filter in place, follow the steps below:
1.Select the filter type.
2.Determine the External System Static Pressure (ESP) without the
filter.
3.Select a filter pressure drop from the table based upon the number
of return air openings or return air opening size and add to the
ESP from Step 2 to determine the total system static.
4.If total system static matches a ESP value in the airflow table (i.e.
0.20, 0.60, etc,) the system airflow corresponds to the intersection
of the ESP column and Model/Blower Speed row.
5.If the total system static falls between ESP values in the table (i.e.
0.58, 0.75, etc.), the static pressure may be rounded to the nearest
value in the table determining the airflow using Step 4 or calculate
the airflow by using the following example.
These kits are required in downflow application when using G*F*
series coils. These kits are not required with MC/FC series coils,
but please ensure that the coil and furnace are secured and that

COIL TRANSITION KIT
Example: For a 120,000 Btuh furnace operating on high speed blower,
it is found that total system static is 0.58" w.c. To determine the system
airflow, complete the following steps:
1.Obtain the airflow values at 0.50" & 0.60" ESP.
Airflow @ 0.50": 2152 CFM
Airflow @ 0.60": 2042 CFM
2.Subtract the airflow @ 0.50" from the airflow @ 0.60" to obtain airflow difference.
2042 - 2152 = -110 CFM
3.Subtract the total system static from 0.50" and divide this difference by the difference in ESP values in the table, 0.60" - 0.50", to
obtain a percentage.
(0.58 - 0.50) / (0.60 - 0.50) = 0.8
4.Multiply percentage by airflow difference to obtain airflow reduction.
(0.8) x (-110) = -88
5.Subract airflow reduction value to airflow @ 0.50" to obtain actual
airflow @ 0.58" ESP.
