Checking and Adjusting Gas Input
2. Turn the gas control knob, or slide the gas control switch,
to the “OFF” position (see Figure 9).
For purpose of input adjustment, the minimum
permissible gas supply pressure is 5" w.c. for natural gas
and 11" w.c. for propane.
Post-Start Check List
After the entire control circuit has been energized and the
heating section is operating, make the following checks:
Gas input must never exceed the input capacity shown on
the rating plate. The furnace is equipped for natural gas
rated inputs with manifold pressure of 3.5" w.c.
1. Check for gas leaks, using soapy solution, in the unit
piping as well as the supply piping.
The manifold pressure can be measured by shutting off the
gas, removing the pipe plug in the downstream side of the gas
valve, and connecting a water manometer or gauge. To adjust
the regulator, turn the adjusting screw on the regulator
clockwise to increase pressure and input or counterclockwise
to decrease pressure and input. The final manifold pressure
should not vary more than 0.3" w.c. from the above
specified pressure. See Figure 9 to assist in locating the
regulator on the gas valve.
2. Check for correct manifold gas pressures (see following
Checking and Adjusting Gas Input section).
3. Check the supply gas pressure. It must be within the
limits shown on the rating plate. Supply pressure should
be checked with all gas appliances in the building at full
fire.At no time should the supply pressure during standby
exceed 13" w.c., nor should it be less than 5" w.c. for
Page 10
Issue 1008
506488-01
For Natural Gas: Check the gas input rate by observing
the gas meter, when available, making sure all other gas
appliances are turned off. The test hand on the meter should
be timed for at least one revolution. Note the number of
seconds for one revolution.
OPERATION
Cooling System
The cooling system is a complete factory package
utilizing an air-cooled condenser. The compressor is
hermetically sealed and base mounted with rubber-
insulated hold-down bolts.

# Seconds Per Revolution
Unit compressors have internal protection. In the
event there is an abnormal rise in the temperature of
the compressor, the protector will open and cause the
compressor to stop.
The heating value of the gas can be obtained from the local
utility company.
For Propane Gas: The only check for the gas input rate is to
properly adjust the manifold pressure using a manometer.
Typical manifold set point for installations at altitudes from 0 to
4500 feet above sea level is 10.0" W.C.
Cooling Sequence of Operation
When the thermostat calls for cooling, R is closed to G
and Y (see the wiring diagrams beginning on page 15).
This action completes the low voltage control circuit,
energizing the compressor, condenser fan motor, and
blower motor.
Temperature Rise
Check the temperature rise and, if necessary, adjust blower
speed to maintain temperature rise within the range shown
on the unit rating plate.
Blower Delay – Cooling
The circulating air blower is controlled by a timing
circuit in the integrated blower/ignition control.
Timings are not adjustable. Blower “on” delay is 5
seconds after the compressor starts and blower “off”
timing is 90 seconds after the cooling system shuts
down.
High Altitude
Ratings are shown on the rating plate for elevations up to
4500 feet. For elevations above 4500 feet, ratings should
be reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1000 feet above sea
level. See the National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 (latest edition)
or the Canadian Installation Codes CAN/CGA-B149.1 &
B149.2 for further details.
System Performance
This equipment is a self contained, factory optimized
refrigerant system, and should require no
adjustments when properly installed. If however unit
performance is questioned, perform the following
checks.
Secure Owner’s Approval
When the system is functioning properly, secure the owner’s
approval. Show the owner the location of all disconnect
switches and the thermostat. Instruct the owner on how to
start and stop the unit and how to adjust temperature settings
within the limitations of the system.

Insure unit is installed per manufacturer’s instructions and
that line voltage and air flows are correct. Refer to Table 3
for proper superheat or subcooling values. Check superheat
settings by measuring pressure at the suction line service
port. For TXV systems, measure pressure at the liquid
service port. Take line temperature within 2 inches of service
port connection to its main tube. If unit superheat/subcooling
varies by more than table allowance, check internal seals,
service panels and duct work for air leaks, as well as
restrictions and blower speed settings. If unit performance
remains questionable, remove charge, evacuate to 500
Microns, and weigh in refrigerant to name plate charge. It is
critical that the exact charge is re-installed. Failure to comply
will compromise system performance. If unit performance
is still questionable, check for refrigerant related problems
such as, blocked coil or circuits, malfunctioning metering
devices or other system components.
in the 10-second interval, then the ignition control will
de-energize the gas valve.
4. The ignition control is designed to repeat this “trial for
ignition” a total of three times. If, at the end of the third
trial, a flame still has not been established, the ignition
control will repeat the trial for ignition sequence 1 hour
later. The 1-hour retry is indefinite. The ignition control
can be reset by interrupting the unit power or the
thermostat circuit.
5. Thirty seconds (nominal) after the initial trial for ignition,
the circulation air blower will start.
6. When the thermostat is satisfied, the combustion blower
and gas valve are de-energized. The circulating air
blower motor will continue to run for a short period after
the thermostat is satisfied.

The circulating air blower is controlled by a timing circuit in the
integrated blower/ignition control. Timings are not adjustable.
Cooling – Blower “on” delay is 5 seconds after call for
cooling. Blower “off” delay is 90 seconds after the cooling
system shuts down.
2. When the speed of the combustion blower reaches
proper RPM, the pressure switch closes, initiating the
pre-purge timing (30 seconds nominal).
Heating – Blower “on” delay is 30 seconds nominal after
burner ignition. Blower "off" delay is approximately 120
seconds after the thermostat is satisfied.
3. When pre-purge has expired, the ignition control energizes
the gas valve, the spark electrode, and the flame sensor.
The igniter sparks for 10 seconds, and the flame sensor
senses that flame has been established. If the flame
sensor does not sense that flame has been established

Variable Speed Motor
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Units equipped with a variable speed circulation air blower
motor will deliver a constant airflow within a wide range of
external static pressures. Other features of this variable
speed motor include:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Soft Start/Stop – The variable speed motor will slowly ramp
up to normal operating speed. This minimizes noise and
increases comfort by eliminating the initial blasts of air
encountered with standard motors. At the end of a cooling
or heating cycle, the motor will slowly ramp down.
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result
in dangerous operation, serious injury, death, or property
damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous operation,
serious injury, death, or property damage.
Circulation Airflow Adjustments – The controls include a
variable speed motor interface board. TheADJUST tap can
be used to raise (+) or lower (–) the airflow by 15%.
•
•
•
Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to
furnace.
Heating and Cooling Airflows – The units are factory set
for the correct heating and cooling airflows. However, airflow
changes can be made by moving the position of the HEAT
and COOL taps (see Table 4).
When servicing controls, label all wires prior to
disconnecting. Reconnect wires correctly.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
Continuous Blower – The comfort level of the living space
can be enhanced when using this feature by allowing
continuous circulation of air between calls for cooling or
heating. The continuous circulation of air occurs at half the
full cooling airflow rate. To use this feature, place the
thermostat fan switch into the ON position.
Flame Sensor
If the ignition control does not receive a signal from the flame
sensor indicating that the burners have established flame, the
gas valve closes after the 10-second trial for ignition period.
Cooling Airflow Ramp Up – At the beginning of a call for
cooling, the blower will run at 80% of full airflow for 7.5
minutes. This improves the system’s moisture removal and
saves blower power during cooling start.
Rollout Switch
The switch is located above the main burners. In the event
of a sustained flame rollout, the rollout switch causes the
ignition control to close the gas valve. To reset, push the
button on top of the switch.
Reduced Airflow Operation (Dehumidification) – For
situations where humidity control is an issue, the variable
speed motor can be connected to operate at a 25% reduction
in the normal airflow rate. The variable speed motor interface
board provides for connection of a humidistat on the HUM
terminal. When a humidistat is connected, the dehumidifier
resistor on the interface must be cut. The humidistat should
be wired to open during high humidity, which will reduce
blower airflow.
Auxiliary Limit (42, 48, and 60 units only)
This control is located in the side of the circulation air blower
housing. The switch causes the ignition control to close the
gas valve should the circulation blower fail to operate. This
control resets automatically.
It is recommended that this furnace be inspected by a
qualified service technician at the beginning of each heating
season.
Safety Controls
The control circuit includes the following safety controls:
Filters
Filters should be checked at least every 6 weeks. Disposable
filters should be replaced when dirty, and cleanable filters
should be cleaned regularly. It is important to keep the air filters
clean, as dirty filters can restrict airflow and the blower and
induced draft motors depend upon sufficient air flowing across
and through them to keep from overheating.
Limit Control
This control is located inside the heating compartment and is
designed to open at abnormally high air temperatures. It resets
automatically.Thelimitcontroloperateswhenahightemperature
condition, caused by inadequate airflow, occurs. This causes
the ignition control to close the gas valve. The circulation air
blower continues to operate in this situation.
Lubrication
The blower motor and induced draft motor are pre-lubricated
by the manufacturer and do not require further lubricating
attention. However, the motors should be cleaned periodically
to prevent the possibility of overheating due to an accumulation
of dust and dirt on the windings or on the motor exterior.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch prevents the gas valve and igniter from
being energized if there is insufficient combustion air due to
a failed combustion blower or a blocked vent.

Burners
CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
Fault Codes
Light the burners and allow to operate for a few minutes to
establish normal burning conditions. Observe the burner
flames. Compare this observation to Figure 10 on page 14 to
determine if proper flame adjustment is present. Flame should
be predominantly blue in color and strong in appearance.
Check that all burners are lit, and that the flame does not
impinge on the sides of the heat exchanger.

Outdoor Coil
Dirt and debris should not be allowed to accumulate on the
outdoor coil surface or other parts in the air circuit. Cleaning
should be as often as necessary to keep coil clean. Use a
brush, vacuum cleaner attachment, or other suitable means.
If water is used to clean the coil, be sure the power to unit is
shut off prior to cleaning. Care should be used when cleaning
the coil so that the coil fins are not damaged.
Do not permit the hot condenser air discharge to be
obstructed by overhanging structures or shrubs.
Vent Outlet
Visually inspect vent outlet periodically to make sure there is
no buildup of soot and dirt. If necessary, clean to maintain
adequate opening to discharge flue products.
