Normal Sequences of Operation
Heating:
- Unit uses electronic ignition. Do not attempt manual lighting.
- Thermostat calls for heat (R and W contacts close).
- Integrated control performs safety checks.
- Inducer draft blower runs for 30 seconds (pre-purge).
- Igniter and gas valve energize for 4 seconds.
- Igniter produces a spark to ignite gas.
- Control monitors flame presence; gas valve stays open only if flame is detected.
- 5-second HEAT FAN ON delay starts after burner ignition.
- Unit delivers heat until thermostat is satisfied.
- Thermostat opens (R and W contacts open), gas valve de-energizes.
- Inducer draft blower runs for 30 seconds (post-purge).
- Ignition control times HEAT FAN OFF delay (adjustable 90-180 seconds, factory set at 150). This delay transfers residual heat to the conditioned space.
Cooling:
- Thermostat calls for low or high stage cooling.
- Compressor and outdoor fan energize at the selected stage.
- Indoor blower energizes approximately 6 seconds later.
- Unit delivers cooling until thermostat is satisfied.
- Compressor and outdoor fan de-energize when thermostat opens.
- Indoor blower runs at low cool speed for ~60 seconds for additional coil cooling, then de-energizes.
- A 180-second anti-short cycle timer prevents compressor recycling.
Fan Only:
- Thermostat calls for FAN ONLY (G terminal).
- Indoor blower energizes at fan-only speed.
- Blower de-energizes immediately when the fan call is removed.
