CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling Units in Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas
Carbon monoxide (CO) producing devices (e.g., automobiles, space heaters, gas water heaters) should not be operated in enclosed areas like unventilated garages, utility rooms, or parking areas due to the danger of CO poisoning from exhaust emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in such an area, adequate, direct outside ventilation is required.
This ventilation is necessary to prevent CO poisoning, which can occur if a CO-producing device continues to operate in the enclosed area. CO emissions can be recirculated throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating. CO can cause serious illness, including permanent brain damage or death.
RIESGO DE INTOXICACIÓN POR MONÓXIDO DE CARBONO
Advertencia especial para la instalación de calentadores o manejadoras de aire en áreas cerradas como estacionamientos o cuartos de servicio. Los equipos o aparatos que producen monóxido de carbono (tal como automóvil, calentador de gas, calentador de agua por medio de gas, etc.) no deben ser operados en áreas cerradas debido al riesgo de envenenamiento por monóxido de carbono (CO) que resulta de las emisiones de gases de combustión. Si el equipo o aparato se opera en dichas áreas, debe existir una adecuada ventilación directa al exterior. Esta ventilación es necesaria para evitar el peligro de envenenamiento por CO, que puede ocurrir si un dispositivo que produce monóxido de carbono sigue operando en el lugar cerrado. Las emisiones de monóxido de carbono pueden circular a través del aparato cuando se opera en cualquier modo. El monóxido de carbono puede causar enfermedades severas como daño cerebral permanente o muerte.
RISQUE D'EMPOISONNEMENT AU MONOXYDE DE CARBONE
Avertissement spécial au sujet de l'installation d'appareils de chauffage ou de traitement d'air dans des endroits clos, tels que les garages, les locaux d'entretien et les stationnements.

- Disconnect the unit and shut-off valve from the gas supply during pressure testing of that system at pressures exceeding 1/2 PSIG (3.48 kPa).
- Isolate the unit from the gas supply system by closing its manual shut-off valve during pressure testing at pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.48 kPa).
WARNING
To avoid property damage or personal injury, ensure there is no open flame in the vicinity during air bleeding.
Air in the gas supply line after leak testing must be bled by loosening the ground joint union until pure gas is expelled. Tighten the union and wait five minutes for gas to dissipate. Ensure no open flame is present during bleeding.
The unit is placed in operation by closing the main electrical disconnect switch.
Roof Top Location and Installation
Gas supply piping location and installation for rooftop units must comply with local codes or the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
A manual gas shut-off valve must be field installed external to the unit. A drip leg must be installed near the inlet connection. A ground joint union connection is required between the shut-off valve and the unit connection to the gas valve to permit burner assembly removal for servicing.
- Route gas piping to avoid interfering with access panel removal. Support and align piping to prevent strain or misalignment of the manifold assembly.
- All units have standard female 1/2" NPT pipe connections. Gas supply piping size depends on run length, number of units, gas characteristics, BTU requirement, and available supply pressure. Comply with local codes and NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1.
NOTE: Unit connection size does not determine supply line size.
With all units on a common line operating at full fire, natural gas supply pressure should be adjusted to approximately 7.0" w.c. at the unit gas valve. If pressure exceeds 10.0" w.c., install an external positive shut-off service pressure regulator. The unit will not function satisfactorily if supply pressure is less than 5.0" w.c. or greater than 10.0" w.c.
NOTE: A minimum horizontal distance of 48" is required between the regulator and the furnace flue discharge.
Seal all pipe connections with a pipe thread compound resistant to the fuel used. Use a soapy water solution to check joints for leaks. Test gauge connection taps are provided on the gas valve for measuring supply (main) and manifold gas pressure.
WARNING
This unit and its shutoff valve must be DISCONNECTED from the gas supply system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures exceeding 1/2 PSIG (13.8" w.c.).
CAUTION
This unit must be ISOLATED from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing at pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.
Ensure no obstructions prevent combustion and ventilating air flow. A vent stack is not required and must never be used. The power venter supplies combustion air if passageways are clear and recommended external clearances are maintained.
CIRCULATING AIR AND FILTERS
Ductwork
Supply ductwork through a wall may be installed without clearance, but minimum unit clearances must be maintained. Provide an access panel large enough to inspect the air chamber downstream of the heat exchanger. Secure the cover tightly to prevent air leaks.
CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTION
A 3/4" female NPT drain connection is supplied on the unit end and bottom of the drain pan for condensate piping. An external trap must be installed for proper condensate drainage. Hand-tighten the drain fitting.
NOTE: Trap should be deep enough to offset maximum unit static difference. A minimum 4" trap is recommended.
Drain Connection
Install condensate drain trap as shown. Use 3/4" drain line and fittings or larger. Do not operate without the trap.
Horizontal Drain
Condensate drainage directly onto the roof may be acceptable per local code. A small drip pad (stone, mortar, wood, or metal) is recommended to prevent roof damage.
Vertical Drain
To use the bottom drain connection, move the drain plug from the bottom connection to the horizontal connection.
Cleaning
Drain pans may accumulate moisture, leading to algae and fungus growth from airborne bacteria and spores. Periodic cleaning prevents drain blockage.

Verify all duct connections are tight and there is no air bypass between supply and return.
Filter Section Check
Remove filter access panels and check filter installation. Note airflow arrows on filter frames.
Pre-startup Precautions
Ensure the unit is properly grounded. Check ground lug connection tightness before closing the circuit breaker or disconnect switch. Verify supply voltage on the line side of the disconnect matches the unit identification plate and is within the utilization voltage range (see Appendix B Electrical Data).
System Voltage: Nominal voltage assigned to a circuit or system for voltage class designation.
Nameplate Voltage: Voltage assigned to equipment for voltage class and defining minimum/maximum operating voltage.
Utilization Voltage: Line terminal voltage at which equipment must perform satisfactorily. Check for phase unbalance if supply voltage is stable within the utilization range.
Calculate Percent Voltage Unbalance (Three Phase Models Only):
Percent Voltage Unbalance = 100 x (Maximum Voltage Deviations from Average Voltage) / Average Voltage. Percent voltage unbalance must not exceed 2%.
AIR FLOW ADJUSTMENTS
After final adjustments, check motor current draw against the full load rating. Amperage must not exceed the motor nameplate service factor. Total airflow must meet furnace requirements.
If an economizer is installed, check unit operating balance at full and minimum outside air.
NOTE: Never run high stage CFM below 300 CFM per ton to avoid evaporator freezing or poor unit performance.
Standard Static Drive Motor
Adjust CFM by changing low voltage leads on terminal block TB1. Refer to Appendix A for blower performance data at each speed tap and Appendix D for maximum/minimum airflow.
NOTE: If more than one lead is energized simultaneously, the motor runs at the higher numerical speed tap.
Purple wire Y2 (High Cool) connects to TB1-T3. These wires can be moved together or separately to unoccupied terminals T4 or T5.
NOTE: For proper operation, Y2 should have a higher speed setting than G, Y1, and W1.
For gas heat units, adjust airflow so air temperature rise falls within the ranges stated on the Data Plate.
Electrical Input Check
Perform a preliminary check of evaporator fan ampere draw and verify it does not exceed motor nameplate amps. A final check should be made after air balancing (see Appendix B).
GAS SYSTEM CHECK
Pre-Operation Checks:
- Close the manual gas valve external to the unit.
- Turn off electrical power supply to the unit.
- Set heating setpoint to its lowest possible setting.
- Remove the heat exchanger door by removing screws.
- This unit uses an ignition device that automatically lights the main burner. DO NOT attempt to light the burner by any other method.
- Move the gas control valve switch to the OFF position.
- Wait five minutes to clear any gas.
- Smell for gas, including near the ground. If gas is detected after five minutes, follow the "WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS" warning on page 2. If no gas smell is noted, move the gas control valve switch to the ON position.
- Replace the heat exchanger door.
- Open the manual gas valve external to the unit.
- Turn on the electrical power supply.
- Set heating setpoint to the desired setting.
Gas Supply Pressures & Regulator Adjustments
WARNING
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas shutoff valve external to the unit before turning off the electrical supply.
WARNING
To avoid property damage, personal injury, or death, do not fire the gas unit with the flue box cover removed. The furnace access panel must always be secured during operation, except when gas pressures are being measured by qualified service personnel.
Gas Supply And Manifold Check
Gas supply pressure and manifold pressure with burners operating must match the rating plate specifications.
Gas Inlet Pressure Check
Check and adjust gas inlet pressure according to the fuel type.
With Power And Gas Off:
- Connect a manometer to the gas valve inlet pressure tap.
Inlet gas pressure can also be measured by removing the dripleg cap and installing a predrilled cap with a hose fitting.
With Power And Gas On:
- Put the unit into heating cycle and turn on all other gas consuming appliances.
INLET GAS PRESSURE
NATURAL | Min. 5.0" W.C., Max. 10.0" W.C. |
---|---|
NOTE: INLET GAS PRESSURE MUST BE WITHIN LIMITS SHOWN ABOVE. |
If operating pressures differ, make necessary regulator adjustments, check piping size, or consult the local utility.
Manifold Pressure Check and Adjustment
The gas valve has a pressure tap for manifold pressure measurement. Measure manifold pressure with burners operating.
- With the disconnect switch open, remove the field-connected thermostat wire from terminal R and W1 on TB1. Place a jumper wire between R and W1 to engage heating.
- Refer to the gas input check section figure for gas valve adjustment.
To adjust the pressure regulator, remove the adjustment screw cover. Turn the screw clockwise to increase pressure, counterclockwise to decrease. Make only small variations with the regulator; use burner orifices for major changes. The measured input rate must not exceed the rating specified on the unit rating plate.
High stage manifold pressure should be between 2.7 and 3.3 inches water column (3.0 nominal).
Gas Input Check
The contractor is responsible for adjusting the gas input to the unit.
The unit is subject to considerable jarring during shipment; test all gas connections and joints for tightness. Check gas piping downstream from the unit inlet for leaks during the subsequent sequence check.
Supply gas pressure should be adjusted to 7.0" w.c. with burners operating. For multiple units on a common line, check pressures with all units at full fire. A supply pressure tap is on the upstream side of the gas valve; a manifold pressure tap is on the manifold side. Normal manifold pressure is 3.0" w.c. Minimum supply pressure is 5.0" w.c.
Do not adjust the built-in pressure regulator unless the supply pressure is at least 5.0" w.c.
Diagram: Flame Sensor and Ignition Electrode Location.
NOTE: Gas appliances above 2000 ft. elevation require 4% derating per 1000 ft. Variance in gas heating value and specific gravity requires manifold pressure changes. Input must be adjusted at the installation site. Follow ANSI Z223.1 "Procedures To Be Followed To Place An Appliance in Operation". Refer to the "User's Information Manual" for additional gas furnace information.
To measure gas input, use a gas meter and proceed as follows:
- Turn off gas supply to all other appliances except the unit.
- With the unit operating, time the smallest dial on the meter for one complete revolution. If it's a 2 cubic foot dial, divide seconds by 2; if it's a 1 cubic foot dial, use seconds as is. This gives seconds per cubic foot of gas delivered.
- INPUT = (GAS HTG VALUE x 3600) / SEC. PER CUBIC FOOT.
Example: Natural gas (1000 BTU/cu ft) with 34 seconds/cu ft: Input = 1000 x 3600 / 34 = 106,000 BTU/hr.
NOTE: Obtain BTU content from the gas supplier. Measured input must not exceed the unit rating plate value.
Adjust input rate by varying the gas pressure regulator adjustment. Make adjustments with the furnace operating at high fire and normal temperature. Use a manometer to verify pressure is within the specified range (see figures for manometer connections). Clockwise rotation of the regulator screw increases pressure/flow; counterclockwise decreases it. Furnace temperature rise must be within the range specified on the unit data plate.
NOTE: Thermal efficiency is a rating determined under continuous operating conditions, independent of the installed system.
Diagram: White-Rodgers Gas Control Valve Connected to Manometer Pressure Adjustments.
To connect manometer to gas valve:
- Back outlet pressure tap screw (inside inlet pressure boss) out one turn (counterclockwise, not more than one turn).
- Attach a hose and manometer to the outlet pressure boss.
To remove manometer from gas valve:
- Remove manometer hose from outlet pressure boss.
- Turn outlet pressure tap screw in to seal pressure port (clockwise, 7 in-lb. minimum).
- Turn on electrical power and gas supply.
- Turn on system power and energize valve.
- Use leak detection solution or soap suds to check pressure boss screw for leaks. Bubbles indicate a leak. SHUT OFF GAS AND FIX ALL LEAKS IMMEDIATELY.
CAUTION
To prevent unreliable operation or equipment damage, gas manifold pressure must be as specified on the unit rating plate. Make only minor adjustments using the gas valve pressure regulator.
Relight all other appliances turned off in step 1 of gas input check. Ensure all pilot burners are operating.
Temperature Rise Check
Check temperature rise through the unit by placing thermometers in supply and return air registers near the unit. Thermometers must not sample temperature directly from heat exchangers to avoid false readings.
- All registers must be open; all duct dampers must be in their final (fully or partially open) position. Operate the unit for 15 minutes before taking readings.
- The temperature rise must be within the range specified on the rating plate.
NOTE: Air temperature rise is the difference between supply and return air temperature.
With a properly designed system, temperature rise will normally be obtained at rated input with recommended blower speed.
If correct temperature rise is not obtained, change blower speed. Higher speed lowers rise; slower speed increases rise.
NOTE: Blower speed MUST be set to provide the correct air temperature rise through the unit as marked on the rating plate.
Normal Sequence of Operation

If the vent motor runs but the unit does not attempt ignition, check if the ALS (Auxiliary High Limit Control Switch) requires resetting.
This unit has an ignition control that automatically lights the main burner. DO NOT attempt to light the main burners by any other method.
Sequence of Operation (Heating):
- R and W thermostat contacts close, initiating a call for heat.
- Integrated control module performs safety circuit checks.
- Inducer draft blower energizes for 30 seconds (pre-purge), closing pressure sensor contacts.
- At end of pre-purge, control module sets induced draft blower to light-off setting.
- Once light-off pressure setting is verified, spark igniter and gas valve energize for 4 seconds.
NOTE: The igniter produces a very intense electrical spark that ignites the gas.
- Integrated control module monitors flame presence. Gas valve remains open only if flame is detected.
- The 30-second HEAT FAN ON delay begins after the main burner lights.
- The unit delivers heat until the thermostat is satisfied; the control module continuously monitors safety circuits.
- R and W thermostat contacts open, completing the call for heat; gas valve de-energizes.
- Induced draft blower continues for a 30-second post-purge.
- Ignition control times the HEAT FAN OFF delay (adjustable 90/120/150/180 seconds, factory set at 150).
NOTE: This delay allows additional heat in the heat exchanger to transfer to the conditioned space. After the delay, the blower de-energizes.
Unit Shutdown
- Set room heating setpoint to the lowest setting.
- Turn off electrical power supply to the unit.
- Remove the heat exchanger door by removing screws.
- Move the gas control valve switch to the OFF position.
- Close the manual gas shut-off valve external to the unit.
- Replace the heat exchanger door.
- If cooling and/or air circulation is desired, turn ON the gas control valve switch and electrical power.
Automatic Reset High Limit Control (LS)
Located in the burner compartment, its sensing element projects through the blower section bulkhead, sensing temperature at the rear of the furnace. It cycles the furnace off if temperature exceeds 100°F plus maximum rise.
Auxiliary High Limit Control (ALS)
Located in the blower compartment, it senses air temperature within the blower compartment and protects filters from excessive temperature. It shuts down the furnace if excessive temperatures are sensed. Elevated temperatures are usually caused by blower failure. Determine and repair the cause before resetting.
Blocked Inlet Limit Control
Located in the burner compartment at the top of the burner assembly, it senses high temperature if the burner inlet is blocked. Determine and repair the cause before resetting this manual reset control.
WARNING
To avoid property damage, personal injury, or death due to fire or explosion, a qualified servicer must investigate the reason for the rollout protection device opening before manually resetting it.
Refrigeration System Checks
This unit uses thermal expansion valves. Ensure compressor hold-down bolts and vibration grommets are secure. Check all piping for damage and leaks. The system is factory charged; field charging is unnecessary. Factory refrigerant charge is on the unit's nameplate.
To confirm charge levels or add charge due to a leak, evacuate the system and recharge to the unit's nameplate specifications. The unit is rated for cooling at AHRI conditions: 80°F db/67°F wb indoor, 95°F db outdoor. Superheat should range from 9°F to 11°F, measured at the suction service port.
Start-Up Procedure and Checklist
Begin with power turned off at all disconnects.
- Set thermostat system switch to "Cool," fan switch to "Auto," and temperature setting as high as possible.
- Inspect all registers and set them to normal open position.
- Turn on electrical supply at the disconnect.
Sequence of Operation (Cooling):
- Turn fan switch to "ON" position. Blower operates after a 7-second delay.
- Turn fan switch to "Auto" position. Blower stops after a 60-second delay.
- Slowly lower cooling temperature until the unit starts. Compressor, blower, and fan should operate. Allow unit to run 10 minutes; verify cool air supply.
- Turn temperature setting to the highest position to stop the unit. Indoor blower continues for 60 seconds.
- Turn thermostat system switch to "OFF" and disconnect all power when servicing.
Refrigeration Sequence Check
- 24VAC control voltage is provided by the control transformer to terminal XS, passing through safety shutdown devices before reaching terminals ES and R.
- To simulate a mechanical call for cooling, lower the room cooling setpoint below the current room temperature. Cooling energizes when room temperature is above the setpoint.
- UNIT WITH ECONOMIZER OPTION: Compressor circuit is interlocked through the economizer module. If outdoor air enthalpy is unsuitable for cooling, the economizer permits compressor energization.
- Blower motor operates to provide cool supply air.
- Compressor contactor closes, providing power to the compressor motor. Condenser fan motor is also energized through the compressor contactor.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD! DO NOT TOUCH! DISCHARGE LINE MAY BE HOT!
- Check compressor operation. Scroll compressors MUST operate in proper rotation. Verify direction by checking compressor discharge line pressure or temperature after start-up. Discharge pressure and temperature should increase. If not, or if excessive noise occurs, perform checks.
If the compressor operates backward: disconnect power, lock OFF, switch two leads of the power supply at the Single Point Power Block, reconnect power, and check compressor/condenser fan motor operation.
- With all safety devices closed, the system continues cooling until room temperature is satisfied.
- Increasing the room cooling setpoint above the current temperature simulates a satisfied thermostat. Compressor and supply fan cycle off.
- After approximately a 3-minute delay, compressor control circuits are ready for a subsequent cooling call.
Refrigeration Performance Check
Check compressor RLA against values in Appendix B. RLA draw may be lower at low load/ambient conditions and slightly exceed at high load/ambient conditions.
Final System Checks
- Check that all supply and return air grilles are adjusted and the air distribution system is balanced for optimal heating/cooling compromise.
- Check ductwork for air leaks (see Air Flow Adjustments sections).
- Ensure the unit is free of "rattles." Check tubing for excessive vibration. Ensure tubes/lines are not rubbing against each other or sheet metal surfaces/edges; correct if necessary.
- Set the thermostat for appropriate cooling, heating, or automatic changeover use.
- Instruct the owner on unit operation, filter replacement, servicing, and correct thermostat operation.

FILTERS
CAUTION
To prevent property damage, loss of equipment efficiency, or equipment damage due to dust and lint buildup on internal parts, NEVER operate the unit without an air filter installed in the return air system.
Filter replacement frequency varies by application. Replace filters at least every three (3) months during operating seasons.
Dirty filters are the most common cause of inadequate heating or cooling performance. Inspect filters at least every two months, more often if necessary due to local conditions and usage.
Discard dirty throwaway filters and replace with new, clean filters.
Disposable return air filters are supplied with this unit. See the unit Specification Sheet or Technical Manual for correct size and part number. To remove filters, access the filter access panel on the return side of the unit.
Cabinet Finish Maintenance
Use a fine-grade automotive wax on the cabinet finish to maintain its original high luster, especially in areas with extended direct sunlight.
Clean Outside Coil (Qualified Servicer Only)
Inspect the outside coil annually and clean as frequently as necessary to keep finned areas free of lint, hair, and debris.
Condenser And Induced Draft Motors
Bearings on condenser fan motors and the combustion fan motor are permanently lubricated. No additional oiling is required.
Flame Sensor (Qualified Servicer Only)
A drop in flame current can be caused by a nearly invisible coating on the flame sensor (from fuel or combustion air supply). This coating can be removed by carefully cleaning the flame sensor with steel wool.
NOTE: After cleaning, the microamp signal should be stable and in the range of 4 - 6 microamps DC.
Flue Passages (Qualified Servicer Only)
At the start of each heating season, inspect and, if necessary, clean the unit flue passage.
Lubrication
Fan shaft bearings, supply fan motors, condenser fan motors, and compressors are permanently lubricated.
Inspection & Cleaning

Examination procedure:
- Disconnect power to the unit and remove the furnace section access panel.
- Remove the burner assembly:
- Disconnect wires from the gas valve, noting terminal connections.
- Disconnect wires from the flame rod and ignition electrode.
- Disconnect the gas piping at the union.
- The entire burner assembly can now be removed.
- Inspect and periodically clean the vent outlet (bird screen) on the access panel.
NOTE: Use all removed screws; they are necessary for safe and proper unit operation.
NOTE: Periodic check of operation and a log of CO² measurements are recommended to determine furnace efficiency or if cleaning is required.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death due to electric shock, do not remove internal compartment covers or attempt adjustments. Contact a qualified servicer immediately if abnormal operation occurs.
Functional Parts
Refer to the unit Parts Catalog for functional parts. Parts are available from your distributor.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Ignition Control Error Codes
The following lists probable causes of questionable unit operation. Refer to the Diagnostic Indicator Chart for signal interpretation and this section for explanations.
Remove the control box access panel and note the number of diagnostic LED flashes.
Fault Recall
The ignition control has a momentary push-button to display the last five detected faults on the diagnostic LED. Anytime the control is powered, fault code history can be retrieved by pressing and releasing the button once (less than 5 seconds); the LED will flash the Fault Code History (up to 5 codes, newest to oldest).
Fault code history is retained between power cycles until cleared. A fault code is added to the log if it differs from the most recent item. If the log is full, the oldest entry is dropped, and new faults are added.
NOTE: Do not hold the button for longer than 5 seconds. Holding it for 5 seconds or more will erase the memory!
Abnormal Operation - Heating Codes
Resetting From Lockout
An external lockout occurs if the ignition control determines that measurable combustion cannot be established within three consecutive ignition attempts. If flame is not established within the 4-second trial for ignition, the gas valve de-energizes, a 30-second inter-purge cycle completes, and ignition is re-attempted. This repeats three times. If combustion is not established, the control shuts off the induced draft blower and enters a lockout state.
If flame is established but lost, the control energizes the circulator blower at heat speed and begins a new ignition sequence. If flame is subsequently lost, the control recycles the ignition sequence.
A diagnostic fault code of 1 flash indicates lockout due to failed ignition attempts. The control resets automatically after one hour, or it can be reset by removing the thermostat signal or disconnecting electrical power for over five seconds.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Frequent resetting indicates a problem that needs correction. Contact a qualified servicer.
Pressure Sensor
The pressure sensor is in the control box, connected to the induced draft blower. It regulates blower speed to maintain proper air-fuel ratio for clean combustion. The electrical output signal is proportional to the differential pressure between the inducer inlet negative pressure and ambient air pressure. The sensor also guards against insufficient airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger.
At the start of a heat call, the control checks the pressure sensor output for proper null offset. If the output is outside the acceptable range, the control enters a 5-minute lockout. After the timer expires, normal operation resumes.
During inducer operation (except null test), the control monitors pressure sensor output for expected values. If a pressure sensor span error occurs, the control enters a 5-minute lockout. Normal operation resumes after the timer expires.
Primary Limit
The primary limit opens due to excessive supply air temperatures, potentially caused by a dirty filter, excessive duct static, insufficient airflow, or a faulty limit. Check filters, duct static, blower motor, and blower motor speed tap. This limit automatically resets when temperature falls below a preset level.
If a limit switch opens, the gas valve immediately de-energizes, and the induced draft and air circulating blowers energize. They remain energized for 5 minutes or until the limit switch recloses, whichever occurs first.
NOTE: If the primary limit opens three (3) times within the same call for heat, the ignition control will lock out for one (1) hour with the air circulating blower energized at heating speed.
Flame Detected with Gas Valve Closed
If flame is detected with the gas valve de-energized, the combustion and air circulator blowers energize. The control can be reset by removing power or will auto-reset after one hour. Miswiring is a probable cause. The initial lockout period is 5 minutes. The control continues to monitor the flame sense input and resumes normal operation when flame is no longer sensed.
Low Flame Signal
Under some conditions, fuel or air supply can create a nearly invisible coating on the flame sensor, acting as an insulator and causing a drop in the flame signal. If the signal drops below a predetermined value, the ignition control displays an error code (1) flash on the amber diagnostic LED. The unit operates until flame can no longer be detected.
Burner Switch
The burner temperature switch, mounted on the burner assembly, monitors burner box temperature. It is normally closed (electrically) and auto-resets. This switch guards against burner flames not being properly drawn into the heat exchanger.
The control senses an open blocked burner switch, indicating burner temperature/pressure exceeded its set point. The control de-energizes the gas valve, energizes the inducer for pre-purge, and energizes the indoor blower. The initial lockout period is five minutes. After this, the control evaluates the blocked burner switch state. If closed, normal operation resumes. If the switch fails to reset before the recovery timer expires, the control enters a one-hour lockout state.
ID Plug
Control operational parameters are stored in the ID Plug connected to the circuit board. A valid ID plug is required for heating mode operation. Without it, the control will not respond to a heat call but will respond to thermostat inputs "Y" or "G" for fan operation. Cooling delays are ignored. The control enters hard lockout and will not respond to heating requests until power is cycled with a valid ID plug installed.
NOTE: Some electronic thermostats have a built-in compressor short cycle timer that may be longer than the 3-minute delay. If the compressor has not started after 3 minutes, wait an additional 5 minutes for the thermostat's short cycle delay.
The furnace control status light can guide troubleshooting. Some useful status light codes are below:
'The fault condition must be cleared for 30 seconds before normal operation can resume. A power cycle will also reset any lockout.
