5 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions Procedure
NOTICE: FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD  Improper installation or service of furnace may cause
premature furnace component failure.
 Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components. Follow the electrostatic discharge precautions procedure listed below during furnace installation and servicing to protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will prevent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand tools which are held during the procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing the control board to electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace, the control board, and the person at the same electrostatic potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects maybe required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY'S ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. To discharge your body's electrostatic charge to ground, firmly touch the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnace chassis which is close to the control board.Tools held in a person's hand during grounding will be satisfactorily discharged.
3. After touching the chassis, you may proceed to service the control board or connecting wires as long as you do nothing to recharge your body with static electricity (for example; DO NOT move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (and recharge your body with static electricity), firmly touch a clean, unpainted metal surface of the furnace again before touching control board or wires.
Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces. In the case of control board replacement, before removing the replacement control board from its packaging, discharge your body's electrostatic charge to ground to protect the control from damage. If the control is to be installed in a furnace, follow steps 1 through 4 before bringing the control board or yourself in contact with the furnace. Put all used and new control boards into containers before touching ungrounded objects.
An ESD service kit (field supplied) may also be used to prevent ESD damage.

1 2 | Bosch 96% AFUE Gas Furnace
WARNING: FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH HAZARD  When the furnace is installed in a residential garage, the
burners and ignition sources must be located at least 18 inches above the floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid damage by vehicles. When the furnace is installed in a public garage, airplane hangar, or other building having a hazardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed in accordance with the NFGC. (See Fig. 6).
CAUTION: INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD  Improper use or installation of this furnace may cause
premature furnace component failure. This gas furnace may be used for heating buildings under construction provided that:
-- The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed according to these installation instructions. A return air duct is provided, sealed to the furnace cabinet, and terminated outside the space containing the furnace. This prevents a negative pressure condition as created by the circulating air blower, causing a flame rollout and/or drawing combustion products into the structure.
-- The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be "hot wired" to provide heat continuously to the structure without thermostatic control.
-- Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and other construction materials. It also prevents the entrainment of drywall dust into combustion air, which can cause fouling and plugging of furnace components.
-- The temperature of the return air to the furnace is maintained between 60°F (16°C) and 85°F (29°C), with no evening setback or shutdown.
-- The use of the furnace while the structure is under construction is deemed to be intermittent operation per our installation instructions.

Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
7.2.2 Horizontal Applications Horizontal applications, in particular, may dictate many of the installation's specifics such as airflow direction, ductwork connections, flue and combustion air pipe connections, etc. The basic application of this furnace as a horizontal furnace differs only slightly from an upright installation. When installing a furnace horizontally, additional consideration must be given to the following:
Drain Trap and Lines In horizontal applications the condensate drain trap is secured to the furnace side panel, suspending it below the furnace.
A minimum clearance of 7 inches below the furnace must be provided for the drain trap.
Additionally, the appropriate downward piping slope must be maintained from the drain trap to the drain location. Refer to Section "Condensate Drain Line & Drain Trap".
NOTICE:  If the drain trap and drain line will be exposed to
temperatures near or below freezing, adequate measures must be taken to prevent condensate from freezing. In this scenario, it is recommended to add foam insulation around the drain line, and heat tracing may also be necessary based on the application.
Leveling Leveling ensures proper condensate drainage from the heat exchanger and induced draft blower. For proper flue pipe drainage, the furnace must be level lengthwise from end to end. The furnace should also have a slight tilt with the access doors downhill ((minimum 1/2 (12.7 mm) to maximum of 3/4 (19 mm)) from the back panel. The slight tilt allows the heat exchanger condensate, generated in the recuperator coil, to flow forward to the recuperator coil front cover. Refer to Figure 9.
Alternate Electrical And Gas Line Connections This furnace has provisions allowing for electrical and gas line connections through either side panel. In horizontal applications the connections can be made either through the "top" or "bottom" of the furnace.
Drain Pan A drain pan must be provided if the furnace is installed above a conditioned area. The drain pan must cover the entire area under the furnace (and air conditioning coil if applicable).
Furnace Suspension If the furnace is installed in a crawl space it must be suspended from the floor joist or supported by a concrete pad. Never install the furnace on the ground or allow it to be exposed to water. See Furnace Suspension for further details (See Fig. 10).

7.3 Condensate Line and Over Flow Pressure Switch
NOTICE  For horizontal left hand installation (air discharge to the left), condensate overflow pressure switch hoses need to be rerouted (see Figure 17).
To achieve higher energy efficiency than non-condensing furnaces, condensing furnaces will generate a significant amount of condensate water from combustion to recover latent heat in the flue. Condensate generated from the flue must be collected and discharged to the drain line. For some venting directions and furnace installations, rerouting of the condensate and/or overflow pressure switch hoses may be required. Follow the instructions below and Figures 13-17 for each installation. Follow the information 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 be constructed
of 3/4" PVC or CPVC.  Ensure that the condensate hose connections between the pressure
switches/inducer drain port and the condensate trap are sloped downward toward the drain to allow for proper drainage.  The drain line between furnace and drain location must maintain a 1/4" 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.  Do not route the drain line outside where it may freeze.
7.3.1 Standard Right-Hand or Left-Hand Side Drain Hose Connections

Bosch 96% AFUE Gas Furnace | 17
 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. In this scenario, it is recommended to add foam insulation around the drain line, and heat tracing may also be necessary based on the application.
 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.
NOTICE  The condensate from this unit is acidic, adhere to all local
and national codes when draining condensate. If proper procedures are not followed, this may lead to property damage.
NOTICE  Condensate trap at furnace must be PRIMED for proper
draining may not occur. The condensate trap can ONLY be primed by pouring water into the inducer drain side of condensate trap.

7.4 Filter Arrangement
CAUTION: FIRE HAZARD  Never install a filter on the supply air side. Filters should
always be installed on return air side of system.
WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE AND POISONING HAZARD  Never operate a furnace without a filter or with filter
access door removed.

Side return Locate the 4 knockout locations. These indicate the size of the cut-out to be made in the furnace side panel. Refer to Fig 20, "Side Return Knockout Markings".
Front of Furnace
Cut out for side return

Filter size
The Bosch 96% AFUE Gas Furnace BGH96 series does not include a filter from the manufacturer. The filter and filter rack must be field supplied and field installed. A high velocity filter is recommended, see recommended filter size and type in Table 2. One of the most common causes of furnace malfunctions is a blocked or dirty filter. The filter must be inspected monthly for dirt accumulation and replaced if necessary.
Filter type
Air velocity through disposable filters may not exceed 300 feet per minute (FPM). All velocities over this require the use of high velocity filters. If a normal speed disposable filter is used and air speed exceeds 300 feet per minute (FPM), two side returns or one side return and the bottom return may be needed. For airflow, refer to Tables 3 & 4.
NOTICE:  If disposable filters are used, air passage through filters
should be increased to twice the size of original air opening by using a transition duct or using two filters in V shape (see Fig. 19) in normal duct size.

Figure 20 Side return knockout markings
Dimensions of return air "cut out" must match those shown in Figure 1. DO NOT cut outside of the "knockout" markings.
Install the side filter rack (field supplied) following the instructions provided with that accessory. If a filter(s) is provided at another location in the return air system, the duct work may be directly attached to the furnace side panel.
Bottom Return filters Filter(s) may be located in the duct system outside 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.

7.5 Air Ducts
General requirements
The duct system should be designed and sized according to accepted national standards such as those published by: Air Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA), Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) or American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) or consult The Air Systems Design Guidelines reference tables available from your local distributor. The duct system should be sized to handle the required system design CFM at the design external static pressure. The furnace airflow rates are provided in Tables 3 & 4 "Air Delivery - CFM (Without Filter)".
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 duct(s) sealed to the furnace cabinet and terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
Secure ductwork with the proper fasteners for type of ductwork used. Seal supply and return-duct connections to furnace with code approved tape or duct sealer.

Supply air connections For a furnace not equipped with a cased coil, the outlet duct shall be provided with a removable access panel. This opening shall be accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can be visually checked for possible damage using light assistance or a probe that can be inserted for sampling the airstream. The cover attachment shall prevent leaks.
Upflow and horizontal furnaces Connect supply-air duct to flanges on furnace supply-air outlet. Bend flange upward to 90° with wide duct pliers. The supply-air duct must be connected to ONLY the furnace supply-outlet-air duct flanges or cased coil cabinet (when used).
NOTICE:  DO NOT cut main furnace cabinet side to attach supply
air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All accessories MUST be connected to duct external to main furnace cabinet.

Flexible connections should be used between duct work and furnace to prevent transmission of vibration. Duct work passing through unconditioned space should be insulated and sealed to enhance system performance. When air conditioning is used, a vapor barrier is recommended.
Maintain a 1-inch clearance betweem combustible materials and the supply air ductwork for a distance of 36 inch horizontally from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or local code for further requirements.
Ductwork acoustical treatment
Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow and 10 ft. of main duct to the first branch take-off may require internal acoustical lining. As an alternative, fibrous duct work may be used if constructed and installed in accordance with the latest edition of SMACNA construction standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both acoustical lining and fibrous duct work shall comply with NFPA 90B as tested by UL Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.

For horizontal applications, the top-most flange may be bent past 90 degrees to allow the evaporator coil to hang on the flange temporarily while the remaining attachment and sealing of the coil are performed.

8 Combustion Air and Vent System
8.1 Combustion Air and Vent Safety
This Category IV, dual certified (AHRI and ETL) direct vent furnace is designed for residential applications. It may be installed without modification to the condensate system in a basement, garage, equipment room, alcove, attic or any other indoor location 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.

Figure 21 Protective Cap Removal

Remove cap

NOTICE:  The "VENT SYSTEM" must be installed as specified in these
instructions for Residential and Non HUD Modular Homes. The direct vent system is the only configuration that can be installed in a Non HUD Modular Home.3.
NOTICE:  Do not discharge exhaust gases directly into any chimney
or vent stack. If vertical discharge through an existing unused chimney or stack is required, insert piping inside chimney until the pipe open end is above top of chimney and terminate properly. In any exterior portion of chimney, the exhaust vent must be insulated.
NOTICE:  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 if two feet or more of pipe is exposed. Vent piping must be insulated if it will be subjected to freezing temperatures such as routing through unheated areas or through an unused chimney.
NOTICE:  Prior to installing the exhaust vent pipe, ensure that the
black plastic cap is removed from the coupler on furnace cabinet. The cap is only used to prevent debris from falling into the vent opening and into the inducer during installation. Refer to Figure 21.

8.2 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 5, "Maximum Equivalent Pipe Length" lists the maximum equivalent length of pipe allowed for each model of furnace. The equivalent length of elbows is shown in Table 7, "Equivalent Length of Fittings".
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 5, "Maximum Equivalent Pipe Length" is for the vent piping and the air intake piping separately. For example, if the table allows 60 equivalent feet for a particular model, then the vent can have 60 equivalent feet of pipe, AND the combustion air intake can have another 60 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 pipes and fittings must conform to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, D1785 (Schedule 40 PVC), F441 (Schedule 40 CPVC), D2665 (PVC-DWV), F891 (PVC-DWV Cellular Core), D2661 (ABS-DWV) or D1527 (Schedule 40 ABS). Pipe cement and primer must conform to ASTM Standard D2564 (PVC), F493 (CPVC) 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. As an alternate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS, PVC, or CPVC pipe when using fittings and pipe made of the same 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 exiting the furnace.

7. In Canada, vents shall be certified to ULC S636, Standard for Type 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.
9. Minimum vent length for all models is 5 feet.
For single pipe systems it is recommended to install the combustion air coupling provided and install approximately 18" of pipe on the furnace. In addition to the vent/flue pipe, a single 90° elbow should be secured to the combustion air intake to prevent inadvertent blockage.

Example: An 80,000 BTUH furnace requires 32 feet of pipe and four 90º elbows. Using 2" pipe and standard elbows, t he total equivalent length will be:

32 feet of 2" pipe = 4 - 90º standard 2" elbows =

32 equivalent feet (4x10) = 40 equivalent feet

Total =

72 equivalent feet of 2" pipe

This exceeds the 65 foot maximum equi valent length of 2" pipe allowed for that model and is thus not acceptable.

By using sweep elbows, the total equivalent length will be:

32 feet of 2" pipe = 4 - 90º sweep 3" elbows =

32 equivalent feet (4x5) = 20 equivalent feet

Total =

52 equivalent feet of 2" pipe

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:

32 feet of 3" pipe =

32 equivalent feet

4 - 90º standard 2" elbows =

(4x10))= 40 equivalent feet

Total =

72 equivalent feet of 3" pipe

This is less than the 90 foot maximum equivalent length of 3" pipe allowed for that model and is thus acceptable.

8.3 Comnustion 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 outside termination. b. Ventilated combustion air systems from the furnace to the attic or crawl space termination.
CAUTION:  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 manufacturer's instructions. Primer and cement must conform to ASTM D2564 for PVC, F493 for CPVC 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 (21 mm/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.

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 Table 9. 8.6.3 Ambient Combustion Air This type of 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 furnace. A single, properly sized pipe from the furnace vent connector to the outdoors must be field supplied.
WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD  It is recommended that the supplied intake coupling
and 18" of pipe be attached to the furnace to prevent accidental blockage of the combustion air intake.

WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD  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 MINOXIDE, which can lead to serious injury, property damage and/or death.
An unconfined space is not less than 50 cu.ft (1.42m3) per 1,000Btu/hr (0.2928 kW) input rating for all of the appliances installed in that area. Rooms communicating directly with the space containing the appliances through openings not furnished with doors are considered a part of the unconfined space. 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 "A confined space" section.
A confined space is an area with less than 50 cu . ft (1.42m3) per 1,000 Btu/ hr (0.2928 kW) input rating for all of the appliances installed in that area. The following must be considered to obtain proper air for combustion and ventilation in confined spaces.
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. 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. One opening shall be within 12 inches of the top and one within 12 inches of the bottom of the enclosure (See Table 10).

Specially Engineered Installations The above requirements shall be permitted to be waived where special engineering, approved by the authority having jurisdiction, provides an adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation.
WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD  Be sure to instruct the owner not to block this intake pipe.

Installation, Operation & Maintenance
WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death. The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation: 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 damper. 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. NOTE: An unsafe condition exists when the CO reading exceeds 40 ppm and the draft reading is not in excess of -0.1 in. W.C.(-25 kPa) with all of the appliance(s) operating at the same time.
8. Any corrections to the venting system and / or to the supply (outside) air system must be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 or CAN/CGA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (latest editions). If the vent system must be resized, follow the appropriate tables in Appendix G of the above codes or for this appliance.

WARNING: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD  Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never
test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially available soap solution made specifically for the detection of leaks to check all connections.
WARNING: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD  Use proper length of pipe to avoid stress on gas control
manifold and to prevent a gas leak.
CAUTION: FURNACE OVERHEAT HAZARD  Connect gas pipe to gas valve using a backup wrench
to avoid damaging gas controls and to avoid burner misalignment.
WARNING: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD  If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance
connector, always use a new listed connector. Do not use a connector which has previously served another gas appliance. Black iron pipe shall be installed at the furnace gas control valve and extend a minimum of 2 inches outside the furnace.

NOTICE:
 Adjusting the minimum supply pressure below the limits in Table 12 could lead to unreliable ignition. Gas input to the burners must not exceed the rated input shown on the rating plate. Overfiring of the furnace can result in premature heat exchanger failure. Gas pressures in excess of 13 in. WC can also cause permanent damage to the gas valve.
At all altitudes and with either fuel (natural gas or LP), the air temperature rise must be within the range listed on the furnace nameplate. Should this appliance be converted to LP, refer to the instructions included in the factory authorized natural gas to LP conversion kit.

9.1 General
The furnace rating plate includes the approved furnace gas input rating and gas types. The furnace must be equipped to operate on the type of gas applied. This includes any conversion kits required for alternate fuels and/or high altitude.
Inlet gas supply pressures must be maintained within the ranges specified in Table 13. The supply pressure must be constant and available with all other household gas-fired appliances operating. The minimum gas supply pressure must be maintained to prevent unreliable ignition. The maximum must not be exceeded to prevent unit overfiring.

9.2 High Altitude Derate
Alternately, in high altitude applications, a standard derate for altitude from National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 of 4% per 1000 feet above sea level may be taken. Refer to the most recent version of ANSI Z223.1 for correct gas orifice based on your specific application. The orifices must be selected using the specifications listed in the table below. The furnace derate is 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level.
Table 14 is based upon a heating value of approximately 1,000 Btu/ft³.
In Canada, the input rating must be derated by 10 percent for altitudes of 2,000 ft. to 4,500 ft. above sea level by an authorized Gas Supplier or Dealer.
When an appliance is installed at elevations above 4500 ft, the certified highaltitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1000 ft.
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/ft³ content of the derated gas and the altitude. Refer to the latest version of NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1 and information provided by the gas supplier to determine the proper orifice size.

Installation, Operation & Maintenance

Furnace shutdown
In case of furnace malfunction, use the following steps to shut the unit down:
1. Set the thermostat to OFF or it's lowest temperature setting.
2. Turn off the electrical power supply to the furnace.
3. Remove the burner access panel.
4. Close manual gas shutoff valve external to the furnace.
5. Push the gas valve switch to the OFF position.
6. Replace burner access panel.
11.4 Sequence of Operation
Furnace control must be grounded for proper operation or control will lock out. Control is grounded through green wire routed to gas valve and manifold bracket screw. Follow the sequence of operation through the heating, cooling, and fan only modes. Read and follow the wiring diagram (Fig. 36) very carefully. The blower access panel must be installed for power to be conducted through all electrical components.
1. Heating mode In a typical system, a call for first stage heat is initiated by closing the W1 thermostat contacts. The inducer blower is energized at high speed and the control waits for the low pressure switch contacts to close. The humidifier (optional) is also energized at this time. Once the low pressure switch contacts close, a 15-second pre-purge is initiated. Then the inducer changes to low speed and the 120V ignitor is powered. At the end of the ignitor warm-up time, the first stage of the twostage manifold gas valve is energized (low fire). Flame must be detected within 4 seconds. If flame is detected, the 45-second HEAT delay-to-fan-on period begins. After the delay-to-fan-on period ends, the control will energize the circulator fan at low heat speed. The electronic air cleaner (optional) will also energize at this time. For a two-stage thermostat, a call for second stage heat (W1 and W2) after a call for first stage heat will energize the inducer at high speed and the circulator at high heat speed. The second stage pressure switch contacts will close and energize the second stage gas valve (high fire). For a single-stage thermostat, when a call for heat occurs (W1), a 10, 20 minute or auto mode heat staging timer will be activated (timing is selectable with option switches S1-1 and S1-2 positions). Following this delay, the second stage heat is energized as above.
When the second stage of the thermostat is satisfied, the inducer motor is reduced to low speed and the second stage gas valve is de-energized. On the control, the circulator will remain at high heat speed for 30 seconds following the opening of the second stage gas valve and then is reduced to low heat speed. When the first stage of the thermostat is satisfied, the first stage gas valve is de-energized and the HEAT delay-to-fan-off begins timing. The inducer will postpurge for an additional 15 seconds, then the inducer and humidifier will turn off. Upon completion of the HEAT delay-to-fan-off period, the circulator is turned off. The electronic air cleaner on the control is also de-energized at this time.
If flame is not detected during the trial-for-ignition period or if the flame is detected/sensed and then lost before completion of 10 seconds of establishment, the gas valve is de-energized, the ignitor is turned off, and the control goes into the "retry" sequence. The "retry" sequence provides a 60-second wait with the inducer interpurge following an unsuccessful ignition attempt (flame not detected). After this wait, the ignition attempt is restarted. Two retries will be attempted before the control goes into system lockout. If flame is established for more than 10 seconds after ignition, the controller will clear the ignition attempt (or retry) counter. If flame is lost after 10 seconds, the control will restart the ignition sequence.
Data subject to change

A momentary loss of gas supply, flame blowout, or a shorted or open condition in the flame probe circuit will be sensed within 2 seconds. The gas valve will deenergize and the control will restart the ignition sequence. Recycles will begin and the burner will operate normally if the gas supply returns, or the fault condition is corrected, before the last ignition attempt. Otherwise, the control will go into system lockout. If the control has gone into system lockout, it may be possible to reset the control by a momentary power interruption of 10 seconds or longer.

11.6 Gas Input Rate Measurement (Natural Gas Only)
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/ft³) 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/ft³ (Obtained from gas supplier) Installation's seconds per cubic foot: 34 sec/ft³ Conversion Factor (hours to seconds): 3600 sec/hr Input = (Htg. value x 3600) + seconds per cubic foot Input = (1,000 BTU/ft3 x 3600 sec/hr) + 34 sec/ft³ Input = 106,000 BTU/hr This measured input must not be greater than the input indicated on the unit rating plate.
5. Turn ON gas and relight appliances turned off in step 1. Ensure all the appliances are functioning properly and that all pilot burners are operating.

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 the following section for speed changing details. HEAT EXCHANGER RADIATION "LINE OF SIGHT"
Supply Air
Return Air
Figure 38 Temperature rise measurement

11.7 Temperature Rise Adjustment
Air temperature rise is the temperature difference between supply and return air. The proper amount of temperature rise is usually obtained when the unit is operated at the rated input with the "as shipped" blower speed. If the correct amount of temperature rise is not obtained, it may be necessary to change the blower speed.
NOTICE:  An incorrect temperature rise can cause condensing in or
overheating of the heat exchanger. Determine and adjust the temperature rise as follows. The temperature rise must be within the range specified on the rating plate.

Temperature Rise Adjustment 1. Operate furnace with burners firing for approximately 15 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 primary heat exchanger (see Fig. 38). 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.

DANGER: FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
 To avoid personal injury or death. Do not remove any internal component covers or attempt any adjustment. Electrical compartments are contained in both compartments. Contact a qualified service agent at once if an abnormal flame appearance should develop.
Burner Flame The burner flames should be inspected with the burner access panel installed. Flames should be stable, quiet, soft, and blue (dust may cause orange tips but they must not be yellow). Flames should extend directly outward from the burners without curling, floating,or lifting off, and should enter heat-exchanger tube. Flames must not impinge on the sides of the heat exchanger firing tubes.
Check the burner flames for: 1. Stable, soft and blue 2. Not curling, floating, or lifting off

13.4 Fan Mounted Limit Switch
The fan mounted limit switches are located beside the blower housing. They are temperature sensors which are automatically reset. They are used to prevent overheating by hot air when the furnace is installed horizontally.
13.5 Rollout Switch - Resettable
The rollout switch - resettable controls are mounted on the burner/manifold assembly and monitor the burner flame. They are manual-reset temperature sensors. This limit guards against burner flames not being properly drawn into the heat exchanger.
13.6 Overflow Protection Pressure Switch (Overflow Switch)
Overflow switch is a differential pressure switch. The shape and dimension of the overflow switch is similar to the two other pressure switches except it has two pressure ports, one in gray color (negative) and the other in black color (positive). The overflow switch is normally closed. When condensate hoses/trap is blocked and condensate is stopped flowing to drain system, the level of condensate inside the condensate collector box will rise. When the condensate reaches too high of a level in condensate collector box, the overflow switch will open and shut off the furnace. Make sure that black port (positive) is conn- ected to the lower position tap on the condensate collector box and gray port (negative) to higher tap of condensate box. [add the following in warning box]: The manufacturer's default setting is for upflow and horiz- ontal right installations only. For horizontal left installation, hoses for overflow switch are required to switch (see horizontal left installation). Conn- ecting hoses incorrectly will result in failure to protect condensate overflow.

13 Safety Circuit Description 13.1 General
A number of safety circuits are employed to ensure safe and proper furnace operation. These circuits serve to control any potential safety hazards and serve as inputs in the monitoring and diagnosis of abnormal function. These circuits are continuously monitored during furnace operation by the integrated control module.

13.7 Pressure Switches
The pressure switches are normally open, 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. These switches guard against insufficient airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger.
13.8 Flame Sensor
The flame sensor is a probe mounted to the burner/manifold assembly which uses the principle of flame rectification to determine the presence or absence of flame.

13.2 Integrated Control Module
The integrated control module is an electronic device which controls all furnace operations. Responding to the thermostat, the module initiates and controls normal furnace operation, and monitors and addresses all safety circuits. If a potential safety concern is detected, the module will take the necessary precautions and provide diagnostic information through an LED.

WARNING: FIRE, EXPLOSION, OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
 Replace ONLY with the same model number or as specified by the manufacturer.

13.3 Chamber Limit Switch - Fixed
The chamber limit switch - fixed control is located on the partition panel and monitors heat exchanger compartment temperature (it is an automatic reset temperature sensor). The limit guards against the overheating resulting from insufficient air passing over the heat exchanger.

14 Troubleshooting
14.1 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
NOTICE:  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 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 furnace away from 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.

14.2 Resetting From Lockout
Furnace lockout results when a furnace is unable to achieve ignition after three attempts. It is characterized by a non-functioning furnace, refer to the Troubleshooting chart (pg 50-51) which describes what errors LED flashes correspond to. 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. 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 for 1 - 20 sec.
If the condition which originally caused the lockout still exists, the control will return to lockout. Refer to the Troubleshooting Chart (Table 24-26) on the following page for aid in determining the cause.
WARNING: FIRE,EXPLOSION AND ASPHYXIATION HAZARD  Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
service agency or the gas supplier.
14.3 Troubleshooting Chart
Refer to the troubleshooting chart on the following pages for assistance in determining the source of unit operational problems. The red diagnostic LED blinks to assist in troubleshooting the unit. The number of blinks refers to a specific code (See Tables 25 & 26).

Installation, Operation & Maintenance

15 Service and Maintenance Procedures
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD Improper servicing could result in dangerous operation, serious injury, death or property damage.  Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to furnace.  When servicing controls, label all wires prior to
disconnecting. Reconnect wires correctly.  Verify proper operation after servicing.
WARNING: FIRE, EXPLOSION OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD  Failure to replace with proper control could result in fire,
explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.  Replace ONLY with the same model number or as specified
by the manufacturer.
15.1 Annual Inspection
The furnace must be inspected by a qualified installer or service agency at least once per year. Inspect the furnace 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.
a. All flue gas carrying areas external to the furnace (i.e. chimney, vent connector, vent pipe) are clear and free of obstructions.
b. Check for any loose wiring, and correct as needed. c. Inspect heat exchangers and blowers for corrosion, deterioration, or
deposits of debris. Remove any obstructions. d. The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is physically sound
without holes or excessive corrosion. e. The return-air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is sealed to the
furnace cabinet, and terminates outside the space containing the furnace. f. The physical support of the furnace is sound without sagging, cracks, gaps,
etc. around the base so as to provide a seal between the support and the base. g. There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the furnace. h. The pilot and burner flames are in good adjustment (by comparison with pictorial sketches or drawings of the main burner flame and, if applicable, the pilot burner flame, refer to the Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual for more information). i. Check the condensate drain and trap for leaks and cracks. Fill the trap with water. Clean the drain and trap. The trap must be filled with water and the drain and trap should be cleaned.

15.2 Filters
A return air filter is not supplied with this furnace; however there must be a means of filtering the return air. The installer must supply filter(s) at the time of installation.
Filter maintenance Improper filter maintenance is the most common cause of inadequate heating or cooling performance. Clean permanent filter or replace disposable filter once a month or more frequently as required. When replacing a filter, it must be replaced with a filter of the same type and size. Become familiar with filter location and procedures for removal cleaning and replacing them. If help is needed, contact the installer of the furnace or a qualified service person.
Filter removal Depending on the installation, differing filter arrangements can be applied. 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 2, page 22) to ensure proper unit performance. For further details, see your distributor.
Upright filter removal To remove filters from an external filter rack in an upright upflow installation, follow the directions provided with external filter rack kit. Clean, wash and dry a permanent filter. When using a permanent filter, both sides should be sprayed with a dust adhesive as recommended on the adhesive container. Spray adhesives for use with permanent filters can be found at some hardware stores. BE SURE AIRFLOW DIRECTION ARROW POINTS TOWARDS THE BLOWER. Inspect filter. If your dirty filter is the disposable type, replace dirty filter with the same type and size filter. If your dirty filter is a permanent filter, clean as follows:
 Clean, wash, and dry a permanent filter. When using a permanent filter, both sides should be sprayed with a dust adhesive as recommended on the adhesive container.
 If badly torn or uncleanable, these filters must be replaced by equal size permanent, high velocity filters. Throwaway filters must not be used as replacement for permanent filters.
15.3 Induced Draft And Circulating Blower Motors
The bearings in the induced draft blower and circulator blower motors are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. No further lubrication is required. Check motor windings for accumulation of dust which may cause overheating. Clean as necessary.
15.4 Flame Sensor (Qualified Service Technicians Only)
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 the flame and will lock out. The flame sensor should be carefully cleaned by a qualified service technician using emery cloth or steel wool. Following cleaning, the flame sense signal should be 1 to 6 microamps at 115 volts.

15.5 Ignitor (Qualified Service Technicians Only)
If the ignitor and the surrounding air are at about 70°F and the ignitor wires are not connected to any other electrical components. the resistance of the ignitor should not exceed 200 ohms. If it does? the ignitor should be replaced
15.6 Burners
WARNING: FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD  To avoid personal injury or death. Do not remove
any internal compartment covers or attempt any adjustment. Electrical components are contained in both compartments. Contact a qualified service agent at once if an abnormal flame appearance should develop.
Periodically during the heating season perform a visual check of the burner flames. Turn the furnace on at the thermostat. Wait a few minutes since any dislodged dust will alter the normal flame appearance. Flames should be stable quiet soft and blue with slightly orange tips. They should not be yellow. They should extend directly outward from the burner ports without curling downward floating or lifting off the ports. See Figure 40 (page 48). Contact a qualified service agent at once if an abnormal flame appearance should develop or the burners have a heavy accumulation of soot and carbon.

15.8 Condensate Drain
 Inspect all condensate drain tubes and condensate trap assembly for leaks and proper drainage.
15.9 Repair and Replacement Parts
 When ordering any of the listed functional parts, be sure to provide the furnace model and serial numbers with the order.
 Parts are available from your distributor.  Flame sensors and ignitors are considered serviceable items.
16 Before Leaving Installation
 Cycle the furnace with the thermostat at least three times. Verify cooling (if applicable) and fan only operation.
 Review the manual with the homeowner and discuss proper furnace operation and maintenance.
 Leave literature packet near furnace.

WARNING:
 Only a qualified contractor, installer or service agency can clean the burners.

15.7 Inspecting the Heat Exchanger (Qualified Service Technicians Only)
NOTICE:  If the heat exchangers get a heavy accumulation of soot
and carbon, they must be replaced rather than cleaning them. A heavy build-up of soot and carbon indicates that a problem exists which needs to be corrected, such as improper adjustment of manifold pressure, insufficient or poor quality combustion air, incorrect size or damaged manifold orifice(s), improper gas, or a restricted heat exchanger. In these scenarios, the heat exchanger must be replaced
Inspect the heat exchanger for excessive rust, cracks, or holes. Visual inspection is always best, but requires training and practice. There are tools (field supplied) available to assist, such as inspection cameras and dye penetration inspection systems. Inspect the metal flue for rust or holes, and make sure it's supported properly.
