AMAGE
All units are securely packed in shipping containers tested according to International Safe Transit Association specifications. The carton must be checked upon arrival for external damage. If damage is found, a request for inspection by carrier’s agent must be made in writing immediately.
The furnace must be carefully inspected on arrival for damage and bolts or screws which may have come loose in transit. In the event of damage the consignee should:
1. Make a notation on delivery receipt of any visible damage to shipment or container.
2. Notify carrier promptly and request an inspection.
3. With concealed damage, carrier must be notified as soon as possible - preferably within five days.
4. File the claim with the following support documents within a nine month statute of limitations.
•
Original or certified copy of the Bill of Lading, or indemnity bond.
•
Original paid freight bill or indemnity in lieu thereof.
•
Original or certified copy of the invoice, showing trade and other discounts or reductions.
•
Copy of the inspection report issued by carrier ’s representative at the time damage is reported to carrier.
The carrier is responsible for making prompt inspection of damage and for a thorough investigation of each claim. The distributor or manufacturer will not accept claims from dealers for transportation damage.
Keep this literature in a safe place for future reference.
Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside ventilation.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in the enclosed area. Carbon monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.

RECAUTIONS
NOTE: Discharge static electricity accumulated in the body before touching the unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the integrated control module from damage. By putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid exposing the integrated control module to electrostatic discharge. This procedure is applicable to both installed and non-installed (ungrounded) furnaces.
1.
Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the integrated control module or any wire connected to the control prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic charge to ground.
WARNING
2.
Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnaces near the control. Any tools held in a person’s hand during grounding will be discharged.
3.
Service integrated control module or connecting wiring following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution not to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded objects, etc.).
If you come in contact with an ungrounded object, repeat step 2 before touching control or wires.
4.
Discharge your body to ground before removing a new control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or new controls to their containers before touching any ungrounded object.

Locate the furnace so condensate flows downwards to the drain. Do not locate the furnace or its condensate drainage system in any area subject to below freezing temperatures without proper freeze protection. Refer to
Section X, Condensate Drain Lines and Trap for further
details.
Ensure adequate combustion air is available for the furnace. Improper or insufficient combustion air can expose building occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide. Refer to Section V,
Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements.
Set the furnace on a level floor to enable proper condensate drainage. If the floor becomes wet or damp at times, place the furnace above the floor on a concrete base sized approximately 1-1/2" larger than the base of the furnace. Refer to the Section VII, Horizontal
Applications and Considerations for leveling of horizontal
furnaces.
Ensure upflow or horizontal furnaces are not installed directly on carpeting, or any other combustible material.
The only combustible material allowed is wood.
Exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in safety and performance-related problems. Do not install the furnace where the combustion air is exposed to the following substances: chlorinated waxes or cleaners chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals water softening chemicals deicing salts or chemicals carbon tetrachloride halogen type refrigerants cleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene) printing inks paint removers varnishes hydrochloric acid cements and glues antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers and masonry acid washing materials
Seal off a non-direct vent furnace if it is installed near an area frequently contaminated by any of the above substances. This protects the non-direct vent furnace from airborne contaminants. To ensure that the enclosed non-direct vent furnace has an adequate supply of combustion air, vent from a nearby uncontaminated room or from outdoors. Refer to the Section V,
Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements for details.
If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, install the furnace upstream or in parallel with the cooling unit. Premature heat exchanger failure will result if the cooling unit is placed ahead of the furnace.
For vertical (upflow or downflow) applications, the minimum cooling coil width shall not be less than furnace width minus 1”. Additionally, a coil installed above an upflow furnace or under a counterflow furnace may be the same width as the furnace or may be one size larger than the furnace. Example: a “C” width coil may be installed
with a “B” width furnace.
For upflow applications, the front of the coil and furnace must face the same direction.
If the furnace is installed in a residential garage, position the furnace so that the burners and ignition source are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor.
Protect the furnace from physical damage by vehicles.

Improved construction and additional insulation in buildings have reduced heat loss by reducing air infiltration and escape around doors and windows. These changes have helped in reducing heating/cooling costs but have created a problem supplying combustion and ventilation air for gas fired and other fuel burning appliances. Appliances that pull air out of the house (clothes dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces, etc.) increase the problem by starving appliances for air.
House depressurization can cause back drafting or improper combustion of gas-fired appliances, thereby exposing building occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide.

2. Excessive humidity-heavily frosted windows or a moist
“clammy” feeling in the home.
3. Smoke from a fireplace will not draw up the chimney.
4. Flue gases that will not draw up the appliance vent pipe.
If this furnace is to be installed in the same space with other gas appliances, such as a water heater, ensure there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for the other appliances.
Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1
(Section 5.3), or CSA B149.1-05 Installation Codes (Sections 7.2,
7.3, or 7.4), or applicable provisions of the local building codes for determining the combustion air requirements for the appliances.
Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the furnace area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connecting directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors such as attics or crawl spaces.
The following information on air for combustion and ventilation is reproduced from the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Section 5.3.
5.3.1 General:
(a) The provisions of 5.3 apply to gas utilization equipment installed in buildings and which require air for combustion, ventilation and dilution of flue gases from within the building. They do not apply to (1) direct vent equipment which is constructed and installed so that all air for combustion is obtained from the outside atmosphere and all flue gases are discharged to the outside atmosphere, or (2) enclosed furnaces which incorporate an integral total enclosure and use only outside air for combustion and dilution of flue gases.
9
(b) Equipment shall be installed in a location in which the facilities for ventilation permit satisfactory combustion of gas, proper venting and the maintenance of ambient temperature at safe limits under normal conditions of use. Equipment shall be located so as not to interfere with proper circulation of air. When normal infiltration does not provide the necessary air, outside air shall be introduced.
(c) In addition to air needed for combustion, process air shall be provided as required for: cooling of equipment or material, controlling dew point, heating, drying, oxidation or dilution, safety exhaust, odor control, and air for compressors.
(d) In addition to air needed for combustion, air shall be supplied for ventilation, including all air required for comfort and proper working conditions for personnel.
(e) While all forms of building construction cannot be covered in detail, air for combustion, ventilation and dilution of flue gases for gas utilization equipment vented by natural draft normally may be obtained by application of one of the methods covered in 5.3.3 and
5.3.4.
(f) Air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation systems, clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be considered in determining the adequacy of a space to provide combustion air requirements.
5.3.2 Equipment Located in Unconfined Spaces:
In unconfined spaces (see definition below) in buildings, infiltration may be adequate to provide air for combustion ventilation and dilution of flue gases. However, in buildings of tight construction (for example, weather stripping, heavily insulated, caulked, vapor barrier, etc.), additional air may need to be provided using the methods described in 5.3.3b or 5.3.4.
Space, Unconfined.
For purposes of this Code, a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
5.3.3 Equipment Located in Confined Spaces:
(a) All Air from Inside the Building: The confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings communicating directly with an additional room(s) of sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all spaces meets the criteria for an unconfined space. The total input of all gas utilization equipment installed in the combined space shall be considered in making this determination. Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1,000 BTU per hour of the total input rating of all gas utilization equipment in the confined space, but not less than 100 square inches. One opening shall be within 12 inches of the top and one within 12 inches of the bottom of the enclosure.
NOTE: Each opening must have a free area of not less than one square inch per 1000 BTU of the total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure, but not less than 100 square inches.

This furnace is shipped from the factory configured for natural gas at standard altitude. Propane gas installations require an orifice change to compensate for the energy content difference between natural and propane gas.
For furnaces being converted to LP gas, it is strongly recommended that a LPLP03 kit also be installed. The use of this kit will prevent the furnace from firing when the LP gas supply pressure is too low to support proper combustion.
High altitude installations may require both a pressure switch and an orifice change. These changes are necessary to compensate for the natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and the combustion air at higher altitude.

A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by extracting almost all of the heat from the products of combustion and cooling them to the point where condensation takes place.
Because of the relatively low flue gas temperature and water condensation requirements, PVC pipe is used as venting material.
This furnace must not be connected to Type B, BW, or L vent or vent connector, and must not be vented into any portion of a factory built or masonry chimney except when used as a pathway for PVC as described later in this section. Never common vent this appliance with another appliance or use a vent which is used by a solid fuel appliance. Do not use commercially available “no hub connectors” other than those shipped with this product.
It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the manufacturers’ recommendations and to verify that all vent/flue piping and connectors are compatible with furnace flue products. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all piping and connections possess adequate structural integrity and support to prevent flue pipe separation, shifting, or sagging during furnace operation.

Adhere to these instructions to ensure safe and proper furnace performance. The length, diameter, and number of elbows of the vent/flue pipe and combustion air pipe (when applicable) affects the performance of the furnace and must be carefully sized. All piping must be installed in accordance with local codes and these instructions.
Piping must be adequately secured and supported to prohibit sagging, joint separation, and/or detachment from the furnace. Horizontal runs of vent/flue piping must be supported every three to five feet and must maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward slope, back towards the furnace, to properly return condensate to the furnace’s drain system. Allowances should be made for minor expansion and contraction due to temperature variations. For this reason, particular care must be taken to secure piping when a long run is followed by a short offset of less than 40 inches.
Precautions should be taken to prevent condensate from freezing inside the vent/flue pipe and/or at the vent/flue pipe termination. It is our recommendation that all vent/flue piping exposed to temperatures below 35°F for extended periods of time should be insulated with 1/2” thick closed cell foam. Also all vent/flue piping exposed outdoors in excess of the terminations shown in this manual (or in unheated areas) should be insulated with 1/2” thick closed cell foam. Inspect piping for leaks prior to installing insulation.

NOTES: Refer to Section IV, Location Requirements and
Considerations for combustion air contaminant restrictions.
The following bullets and diagram describe the restrictions concerning the appropriate location of vent/flue pipe and combustion air intake pipe (when applicable) terminations. Refer to Non-Di-
rect Vent (Single Pipe) Piping and Direct Vent (Dual Pipe) Piping
located in this section for specific details on termination construction.
• All terminations (flue and/or intake) must be located at least 12 inches above ground level or the anticipated snow level.
• Vent terminations (non-direct and direct vent) must terminate at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet.
NOTE: This provision does not apply to the combustion air intake termination of a direct vent application.
• The vent termination of a non-direct vent application must terminate at least 4 feet below, 4 feet horizontally from, or
1 foot above any door, window, or gravity air inlet into any building.
14
In Canada, venting must conform to the requirements of the current CAN/CSA-B149.1-05 Installation Code. Use only CSA-listed,
ULC-S636 compliant two-three-inch diameter PVC or ABS pipe, solvent cement, and fittings throughout. The certified piping should be clearly marked with the ULC Std “S636” on the pipe and fittings.
Carefully follow the pipe manufacturers’ instructions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent cementing PVC and/or ABS.
The vent can be run through an existing unused chimney provided the space between the vent pipe and the chimney is insulated and closed with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the piping connections to the furnace are secure, airtight, and adequately supported.
As shipped, attachment “couplings” for vent/flue and combustion air intake pipe connections are provided on the furnace’s top cover
(upflow). To use the standard connections, field supplied vent/flue pipe and combustion air intake pipe (when applicable) should be secured directly to the furnace at these locations.
Vent/flue pipe can be secured to the vent/flue coupling using the rubber coupling and worm gear hose clamps provided with this furnace (see “Standard Connections” figure). The rubber coupling
allows separation of the vent/flue pipe from the furnace during servicing. Combustion Air and Vent piping should be routed in a manner to avoid contact with refrigerant lines, metering devices, condensate drain lines, etc. If necessary, clearances may be increased by utilizing two 45 deg. Long-Sweep Elbows and creating an “S” joint to provide additional space at connection locations. This joint can be rotated on the fitting to establish maximum clearance between refrigerant lines, metering devices, and condensate drain lines, etc. This joint is the equivalent of one 90 deg. elbow when considering elbow count.

If the standard locations are undesirable for a specific installation, alternate side panel locations are available for vent/flue pipe connections. These locations may be of particular benefit to upright upflow installations requiring additional access to an A coil or to horizontal installations desiring vent/flue piping run vertically from the side of the cabinet.
NOTE: Standard and alternate locations can be combined (i.e., an installation may use the standard combustion air intake location but use the alternate vent/flue location), if needed.

The alternate vent/flue location is the large hole directly in line with the induced draft blower outlet. To use the alternate vent/flue location refer to the following steps, the “Vent/Flue Pipe Cuts” figure, and the “Alternate Vent/Flue Location” figure.
1. Remove and save the four screws securing the vent/flue coupling to the furnace top panel.
2. Loosen the worm gear hose clamps on the rubber elbow and detach it from both the induced draft blower and the vent/flue pipe.
3. Remove the vent/flue pipe from the furnace.
4. Cut the vent/flue pipe 3.75 inches from the flanged end of the pipe. See Vent/Flue Pipe Cuts figure. The section of pipe attached to the coupling will reach through the side panel to the induced draft blower. Discard remaining pipe and elbows.
NOTE: For non-direct vent installations, a minimum of one 90° elbow should be installed on the combustion air intake coupling to guard against inadvertent blockage.

Non-direct vent installations require only a vent/flue pipe. The
vent pipe can be run horizontally with an exit through the side of the building or run vertically with an exit through the roof of the building. The vent can also be run through an existing unused chimney; however, it must extend a minimum of 12 inches above the top of the chimney. The space between the vent pipe and the chimney must be closed with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing. For details concerning connection of the vent/flue pipe to the furnace, refer to Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion
1) Maximum allowable limits listed on individual lengths for inlet and flue and NOT a combination.
2) Minimum requirement for each vent pipe is five (5) feet in length and one elbow/tee.
3) Tee used in the vent/flue termination must be included when determining the number of elbows in the piping system.
4) 2 1/2” or 3” diameter pipe can be used in place of 2” diameter pipe.
5) Increased Clearance Configurations using (2) 45 deg. Long Sweep elbows should be considered equivalent to one 90 deg. elbow.

NOTE: If either a 90 degree or 45 degree elbow is used for termination, it must be pointed downward.
The vent/flue pipe may terminate vertically, as through a roof, or horizontally, as through an outside wall.
Vertical vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in the following figure. Refer to Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Com-
bustion Air Pipe - Termination Locations for details concerning
location restrictions. The penetration of the vent through the roof must be sealed tight with proper flashing such as is used with a plastic plumbing vent.
Horizontal vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in the following figure. Refer to Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Combus-
tion Air Pipe - Termination Locations for details concerning loca-
tion restrictions. A 2 3/8” diameter wall penetration is required for

2” diameter pipe. A 3” diameter hole is required for a 2 1/2” pipe and a 3 1/2” diameter hole is required for 3” diameter pipe. To secure the pipe passing through the wall and prohibit damage to piping connections, a coupling should be installed on either side of the wall and solvent cemented to a length of pipe connecting the two couplings. The length of pipe should be the wall thickness plus the depth of the socket fittings to be installed on the inside and outside of the wall. The wall penetration should be sealed with silicone caulking material.
In a basement installation, the vent/flue pipe can be run between joist spaces. If the vent pipe must go below a joist and then up into the last joist space to penetrate the header, two 45° elbows should be used to reach the header rather than two 90° elbows.

X. CONDENSATE DRAIN LINES & DRAIN TRAP
A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by extracting almost all of the heat from the products of combustion and cooling them to the point where condensation takes place.
The condensate which is generated must be piped to an appropriate drain location.
In upright installations, the furnace’s drain hoses may exit either the right or left side of the furnace. NOTE: If the alternate vent/flue outlet is utilized in an upright installation, the drain trap and drain connections must be located on the same side as the alternate vent/flue outlet.
In horizontal installations, the drain hoses will exit through the bottom (down side) of the unit with the drain trap suspended beneath the furnace. The field-supplied drain system must be in accordance with all local codes and the instructions in the following sections.
Follow the bullets listed below when installing the drain system.
Refer to the following sections for specific details concerning furnace drain trap installation and drain hose hook ups.
• The drain trap supplied with the furnace must be used.
•
•
•
The drain line between furnace and drain location must maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward slope toward the drain.
Do not trap the drain line in any other location than at the drain trap supplied with the furnace.
If the drain line is routed through an area which may see temperatures near or below freezing, precautions must be taken to prevent condensate from freezing within the drain line.
18
• If an air conditioning coil is installed with the furnace, a common drain may be used. An open tee must be installed in the drain line, near the cooling coil, to relieve positive air pressure from the coil’s plenum.
This is necessary to prohibit any interference with the function of the furnace’s drain trap.

LTITUDE
D
ERATE
When this furnace is installed at high altitude, the appropriate High
Altitude orifice kit must be applied. This is required due to the natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and combustion air as altitude increases. The kit will provide the proper design certified input rate within the specified altitude range.
High altitude kits are purchased according to the installation altitude and usage of either natural or propane gas. Contact your distributor for a tabular listing of appropriate altitude ranges and corresponding manufacturer’s high altitude (Natural, Propane Gas, and/or Pressure Switch) kits.
Do not derate the furnace by adjusting the manifold pressure to a lower pressure than specified on the furnace rating plate. The combination of the lower air density and a lower manifold pressure will prohibit the burner orifice from drawing the proper amount of air into the burner. This may cause incomplete combustion, flashback, and possible yellow tipping.
In some areas the gas supplier may artificially derate the gas in an effort to compensate for the effects of altitude. If the gas is artificially derated, the appropriate orifice size must be determined based upon the BTU/ft 3 content of the derated gas and the altitude.
Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and information provided by the gas supplier to determine the proper orifice size.
A different pressure switch may be required at high altitude regardless of the BTU/ft 3 content of the fuel used. Contact your distributor for a tabular listing of appropriate altitude ranges and corresponding manufacturer’s pressure switch kits.

To connect the furnace to the building’s gas piping, the installer must supply a ground joint union, drip leg, manual shutoff valve, and line and fittings to connect to gas valve. In some cases, the installer may also need to supply a transition piece from 1/2" pipe to a larger pipe size.
The following stipulations apply when connecting gas piping. Refer to Gas Piping Connections figure for typical gas line connections to the furnace.
•
Use black iron or steel pipe and fittings for building piping.
Where possible, use new pipe that is properly chamfered, reamed, and free of burrs and chips. If old pipe is used, be sure it is clean and free of rust, scale, burrs, chips, and old pipe joint compound.
•
Use pipe joint compound on male threads ONLY. Always use pipe joint compound (pipe dope) that is APPROVED
FOR ALL GASSES. DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads.
•
Use ground joint unions.
•
Install a drip leg to trap dirt and moisture before it can enter the gas valve. The drip leg must be a minimum of three inches long.
•
Install a 1/8" NPT pipe plug fitting, accessible for test gage connection, immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the furnace.
•
Always use a back-up wrench when making the connection to the gas valve to keep it from turning. The orientation of the gas valve on the manifold must be maintained as shipped from the factory. Maximum torque for the gas valve connection is 375 in-lbs; excessive over-tightening may damage the gas valve.
•
Install a manual shutoff valve between the gas meter and unit within six feet of the unit. If a union is installed, the union must be downstream of the manual shutoff valve, between the shutoff valve and the furnace.
•
Tighten all joints securely.
•
Connect the furnace to the building piping by one of the following methods:
–
Rigid metallic pipe and fittings.
–
Semi-rigid metallic tubing and metallic fittings.
Aluminum alloy tubing must not be used in exterior locations. In order to seal the grommet cabinet penetration, rigid pipe must be used to reach the outside of the cabinet. A semi-rigid connector to the gas piping may be used from there.
•
Use listed gas appliance connectors in accordance with their instructions. Connectors must be fully in the same room as the furnace.
•
Protect connectors and semirigid tubing against physical and thermal damage when installed. Ensure aluminumalloy tubing and connectors are coated to protect against external corrosion when in contact with masonry, plaster, or insulation, or subjected to repeated wetting by liquids such as water (except rain water), detergents, or sewage.

A gas detecting warning system is the only reliable way to detect a propane gas leak. Rust can reduce the level of odorant in propane gas. Do not rely on your sense of smell. Contact a local propane gas supplier about installing a gas detecting warning system. If the presence of gas is suspected, follow the instructions on Page
4 of this manual.
All propane gas equipment must conform to the safety standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, NBFU Manual 58.
For satisfactory operation, propane gas pressure must be 11 inch w.c. at the furnace manifold with all gas appliances in operation.
Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on three main factors:
1.
Vaporization rate, depending on temperature of the liquid, and “wetted surface” area of the container or containers.
2.
Proper pressure regulation. (Two-stage regulation is recommended for both cost and efficiency).
3.
Pressure drop in lines between regulators, and between second stage regulator and the appliance. Pipe size will depend on length of pipe run and total load of all appliances.
Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization, recommended regulator settings, and pipe sizing is available from most regulator manufacturers and propane gas suppliers.
Since propane gas will quickly dissolve white lead and most standard commercial compounds, special pipe dope must be used.
Shellac-based compounds resistant to the actions of liquefied petroleum gases such as Gasolac
®
, Stalactic
®
, Clyde’s
®
or John

To prevent the blower from interfering with combustion air or draft when a central return is used, a connecting duct must be installed between the unit and the utility room wall. Never use a room, closet, or alcove as a return air chamber.
NOTE: Two side openings or a side opening and bottom opening are required for airflow delivery of 1800 CFM and greater.

Refer to your furnace rating plate for the maximum ESP (external duct static) rating.
Total external static refers to everything external to the furnace cabinet. Cooling coils, filters, ducts, grilles, registers must all be considered when reading your total external static pressure. The supply duct pressure must be read between the furnace and the cooling coil. This reading is usually taken by removing the “A” shaped block off plate from the end on the coil; drilling a test hole in it and reinstalling the block off plate. Take a duct static reading at the test hole. Tape up the test hole after your test is complete. The negative pressure must be read between the filter and the furnace blower.
Too much external static pressure will result in insufficient air that can cause excessive temperature rise. This can cause limit switch tripping and heat exchanger failure.
To determine total external duct static pressure, proceed as follows;
1.
With clean filters in the furnace, use a draft gauge (inclined manometer) to measure the static pressure of the return duct at the inlet of the furnace. (Negative Pressure)
2.
Measure the static pressure of the supply duct. (Positive Pressure)
3.
The difference between the two numbers is .4” w.c.
Example: static reading from return duct = -.1" w.c.
static reading from supply duct = .3" w.c.
total external static pressure on this system = .4" w.c.
NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read directly on the manometer if so desired. If an air conditioner coil or
Electronic Air Cleaner is used in conjunction with the furnace, the readings must also include theses components, as shown in the following drawing.
4.
Consult proper tables for the quantity of air.
If the total external static pressure exceeds the maximum listed on the furnace rating plate, check for closed dampers, registers, undersized and/or oversized poorly laid out duct work.

The bottom return air opening on upflow models utilizes a “lance and cut” method to remove sheet metal from the duct opening in the base pan. To remove, simply press out the lanced sections by hand to expose the metal strips retaining the sheet metal over the duct opening. Using tin snips, cut the metal strips and remove the sheet metal to free the duct flanges. Using the scribe line along the duct flange as a guide, unfold the duct flanges around the perimeter of the opening using a pair of seamer pliers or seamer tongs. NOTE: Airflow area will be reduced by approximately 18% if duct flanges are not unfolded. This could cause performance issues and noise issues.
On upflow units, guide dimples locate the side return cutout locations. Use a straight edge to scribe lines connecting the dimples. Cut out the opening on these lines. NOTE: An undersized opening will cause reduced airflow.
Refer to Minimum Filter Area tables to determine filter area requirements.

When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, the furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the upstream side of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in the heating element.
With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other means used to control the flow of air must be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace and, if manually operated, must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.
When the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, it is recommended that a removable access panel be provided in the outlet air duct. This opening shall be accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can be viewed for visual light inspection or such that a sampling probe can be inserted into the airstream. The access panel must be made to prevent air leaks when the furnace is in operation.
When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air entering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.

The gas input rate to the furnace must never be greater than that specified on the unit rating plate. To measure natural gas input using the gas meter, use the following procedure.
1. Turn OFF the gas supply to all other gas-burning appliances except the furnace.
2. While the furnace is operating, time and record one complete revolution of the smallest gas meter dial.
3. Calculate the number of seconds per cubic foot (sec/ft 3 ) of gas being delivered to the furnace. If the dial is a one cubic foot dial, divide the number of seconds recorded in step 2 by one. If the dial is a two cubic foot dial, divide the number of seconds recorded in step 2 by two.
4. Calculate the furnace input in BTUs per hour (BTU/hr). Input equals the installation’s gas heating value multiplied by a conversion factor (hours to seconds), divided by the number of seconds per cubic foot. The measured input must not be greater than the input indicated on the unit rating plate.
EXAMPLE:
Installation’s gas heating (HTG) value: 1,000 BTU/ft
3
(Obtained from gas supplier)
Installation’s seconds per cubic foot: 34 sec/ ft 3
Conversion Factor (hours to seconds): 3600 sec/hr
Input = (Htg. value x 3600) ÷ seconds per cubic foot
Input = (1,000 BTU/ft 3 x 3600 sec/hr) ÷ 34 sec/ ft 3
Input = 106,000 BTU/hr
Minor changes to the input rate may be accomplished through manifold pressure adjustments at the gas valve. Refer to Section
XIV, Startup Procedure and Adjustment - Gas Manifold Pressure
Measurement and Adjustment for details. NOTE: The final mani-
fold pressure cannot vary by more than ± 0.3” w.c. from the specified setting. Consult your local gas supplier if additional input rate adjustment is required.
5. Turn ON gas to and relight all other appliances turned off in step 1. Be certain that all appliances are functioning properly and that all pilot burners are operating.

Temperature rise must be within the range specified on the unit rating plate. An incorrect temperature rise may result in condensing in or overheating of the heat exchanger. An airflow and temperature rise table is provided in the Specification Sheet applicable to your model. Determine and adjust temperature rise as follows:
1. Operate furnace with burners firing for approximately ten minutes. Ensure all registers are open and all duct dampers are in their final (fully or partially open) position.
2. Place thermometers in the return and supply ducts as close to the furnace as possible. Thermometers must not be influenced by radiant heat by being able to “see” the heat exchanger.
Temperature Rise Measurement
3. Subtract the return air temperature from the supply air temperature to determine the air temperature rise. Allow adequate time for thermometer readings to stabilize.
4. Adjust temperature rise by adjusting the circulator blower speed. Increase blower speed to reduce temperature rise.
Decrease blower speed to increase temperature rise. Refer to Section XIV, Startup Procedure and Adjustment -Circulator

This furnace is equipped with a multi-speed circulator blower. This blower provides ease in adjusting blower speeds. The Specification Sheet applicable to your model provides an airflow table, showing the relationship between airflow (CFM) and external static pressure (E.S.P.), for the proper selection of heating and cooling speeds.
The cooling blower speed is shipped set on HIGH, and the heating blower speed is set as indicated in the Specification Sheet applicable to your model. These blower speeds should be adjusted by the installer to match the installation requirements so as to provide the correct heating temperature rise and correct cooling CFM.
To adjust the circulator blower speed, proceed as follows:
1. Turn OFF power to the furnace.
2. Select the heating and cooling blower speeds that match the installation requirements from the airflow table in the
Specification Sheet.
3. Relocate desired motor leads to the circulator blower heat and cool speed terminals on the integrated control module.
(Terminals are identified as HEAT and COOL (hot)). If heating and cooling blower speeds are the same, a jumper wire must be used between the heat and cool terminals.
4. Connect all unused blower motor leads to the “PARK” terminals on the integrated control module. Any leads not connected to the “PARK” terminals must be taped.
5. Turn ON power to furnace.

The pressure switches are normally-open (closed during operation), single-pole single-throw, negative air pressure-activated switches. They monitor the airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger via pressure taps located on the induced draft blower and the coil front cover. These switches guard against insufficient airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger and/or blocked condensate drain conditions.
NOTE: Discharge body’s static electricity before touching unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the integrated control module from damage. By putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid exposing the integrated control module to electrostatic discharge. This procedure is applicable to both installed and uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the integrated control module or any wire connected to the control prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic charge to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnaces near the control. Any tools held in a person’s hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution not to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded objects, etc.).
If you come in contact with an ungrounded object, repeat step 2 before touching control or wires.
4. Discharge your body to ground before removing a new control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or new controls to their containers before touching any ungrounded object.

Furnace lockout results when a furnace is unable to achieve ignition after three attempts during a single call for heat. It is characterized by a non-functioning furnace and a one flash diagnostic LED code. If the furnace is in “lockout”, it will (or can be) reset in any of the following ways.
1. Automatic reset. The integrated control module will automatically reset itself and attempt to resume normal operations following a one hour lockout period.
33
2. Manual power interruption. Interrupt 115 volt power to the furnace for 1 - 20 seconds.
3. Manual thermostat cycle. Lower the thermostat so that there is no longer a call for heat then reset to previous setting.
Interrupt thermostat signal to the furnace for 1 - 20 seconds.
NOTE: If the condition which originally caused the lockout still exists, the control will return to lockout. Refer to Section XVIII,
Troubleshooting - Diagnostic Chart for aid in determining the cause.
XIX. MAINTENANCE
A
NNUAL INSPECTION
The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer, or service agency at least once per year. This check should be performed at the beginning of the heating season. This will ensure that all furnace components are in proper working order and that the heating system functions appropriately. Pay particular attention to the following items. Repair or service as necessary.
•
Flue pipe system. Check for blockage and/or leakage. Check the outside termination and the connections at and internal to the furnace.
•

Depending on the installation, differing filter arrangements can be applied. Filters can be installed in either the central return register or a side panel external filter rack (upflow only). A media air filter or electronic air cleaner can be used as an alternate filter. Follow the filter sizes given in the Recommended Minimum Filter size table to ensure proper unit performance.
To remove filters from an external filter rack in an upright upflow installation, follow the directions provided with external filter rack kit. For further details, see your distributor.

Visually inspect the burner flames periodically during the heating season. Turn on the furnace at the thermostat and allow several minutes for flames to stabilize, since any dislodged dust will alter the flames normal appearance. Flames should be stable, quiet, soft, and blue (dust may cause orange tips but they must not be yellow). They should extend directly outward from the burners without curling, floating, or lifting off. Flames must not impinge on the sides of the heat exchanger firing tubes.

Under some conditions, the fuel or air supply can create a nearly invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating acts as an insulator causing a drop in the flame sense signal. If the flame sense signal drops too low the furnace will not sense flame and will lock out. The flame sensor should be carefully cleaned by a qualified servicer using emery cloth or steel wool. Following cleaning, the flame sense signal should be 1 to 6 microamps.

The heat exchanger flue passageways should be inspected at the beginning of each heating season. If necessary, clean the passageways as outlined below.
1. Turn OFF the electrical power and gas supply to the furnace.
2. Disconnect the gas line and remove the burner/ manifold assembly by removing the screws securing the assembly to the partition panel.
3. Disconnect the flue pipe system from the induced draft blower.
4. Remove the induced draft blower and the drain and pressure tap hoses from the recuperator coil front cover.
5. Remove the recuperator coil front cover to expose the coil tubes and turbulators.
6. Remove the recuperator coil turbulators individually by slowly pulling each turbulator forward firmly.
7. Clean the recuperator coil tubes using a long handle wire brush, such as a gun cleaning brush.
8. Clean the primary heat exchanger tubes using a wire brush attached to a length of high grade stainless steel cable, such as drain cleanout cable. Attach a variable speed reversible drill to the other end of the cable. Slowly rotate the cable with the drill and insert it into one of the heat exchanger tubes. While reversing the drill, work the cable in and out several times to obtain sufficient cleaning. Repeat for each tube.
9. Clean residue from furnace using a vacuum cleaner.
10. Replace the parts removed in the previous steps in reverse order.
11. Turn on electrical power and gas to furnace. Check for leaks and proper unit operation.
12. Severe heat exchanger fouling is an indication of an operational problem. Perform the checks listed in Section
XIV, Startup Procedure and Adjustments to reduce the
chances of repeated fouling.

CFM in chart is without filters(s). Filters do not ship with this furnace, but must be provided by the installer. If the furnace requires two return filters, this chart assumes both filters are installed.
2.
All furnaces ship as high speed cooling. Installer must adjust blower cooling speed as needed.
3.
For most jobs, about 400 CFM per ton when cooling is desirable.
4.
INSTALLATION IS TO BE ADJUSTED TO OBTAIN TEMPERATURE RISE WITHIN THE RANGE SPECIFIED ON THE RATING PLATE.
5.
The chart is for information only. For satisfactory operation, external static pressure must not exceed value shown on rating plate. The shaded area indicates ranges in excess of maximum external static pressure allowed when heating. The data for 0.6" w.c. to 0.8" w.c. is shown for air conditioning purposes only.
6 The dashed (---) areas indicate a temperature rise not recommended for this model.
7.
The above chart is for U.S. furnaces installed at 0-4000 feet. At higher altitudes, a properly derated unit will have approximately the same temperature rise at a particular CFM, while the ESP at that CFM will be lower.
