INTRODUCTION

This instruction covers installation of the single-speed, two-speed, and modulating inducer assemblies on condensing 35-in. (889 mm) tall, high- efficiency units.
The inducer should be replaced when the motor is seized, open, shorted or grounded. The PSC motor is equipped with an internal thermal overload. If the overload is open, allow time (several minutes) for overload to reset.
ECM inducer motors do not have an internal overload and are internally protected through the electronics in the motor controller.
There are four (4) different PSC inducer assemblies to service all single- stage and 2-stage furnaces with PSC inducers.
Each of the four (4) PSC motors have a different horsepower and/or RPM range required for the various size furnaces.
The motor supplied in the kit for furnaces with PSC inducers is a two-speed inducer motor. Single-stage operation is achieved through the use of an adapter harness included with the kit.
There is one (1) kit for modulating furnaces. The replacement assembly may look different from the assembly installed on the furnace, but operates  the same as the original motor. The new modulating furnace inducer kit does not require an adapter harness, see Fig. 1.
Refer to Table 2 for the correct furnace and kit combination.

ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in improper furnace operation or failure of furnace.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.

Pressure Switch or Pressure Transducer Tube Removal **

**

NOTE: There are two types of pressure switches. The modulating pressure switch assembly has three pressure switches. Two are side-by-side with  the third switch mounted to the back of one of the switches.
The Ultra Low NOx furnace uses a pressure transducer attached to the inducer wire harness or mounted to a panel instead of a pressure switch. It  is not necessary to remove the pressure transducer when replacing the inducer assembly.
All other furnaces have two pressure switches mounted back-to-back.
Pressure switches for PSC inducers have a tube on the back pressure switch that connects to the port on the inducer assembly. Pressure switches for the modulating inducers only have one pressure switch tube. The pressure transducer for the Ultra Low NOx model is not connected to the inducer assembly.

1. Remove the front pressure switch or pressure transducer tube from the port on the collector box, see Fig. 2. For Utlra Low NOx models, go to Step 7. all other models, continue with Step 2.
2. Disconnect the pressure switch harness (modulating only) from the main wiring harness or remove the individual wires from the front pressure switch (non-modulating). Note the location of the wires for reassembly.
3. Remove the screws that attach the pressure switch assembly to the inducer.
4. Remove the back pressure switch tube that connects to the inducer assembly (PSC only).
5. Remove the wires from the back pressure switch. Note the location of the wires for reassembly. (PSC only).
6. Set the pressure switches aside.
7. If the relief tube for the condensate trap or pressure transducer tube is routed across the inducer assembly, remove the tube from the port on  the collector box and from the stand-offs on the inducer and move the tube aside

6. Remove any adhered gaskets from the front of the collector box.

7. Remove the vent elbow from the inducer assembly and set aside.

Inducer Inlet Choke Plate (PSC and Ultra Low NOx inducers only)

NOTE: Some PSC and Ultra Low NOx inducers have a factory-installed Inducer Inlet Choke. The Inlet Choke snaps into the inlet of the Inducer Assembly. A new Choke Plate is included in the loose parts bag of the inducer kit. If a new Choke Plate is required as shown in Table 3 and is not  included in the loose parts bag, the choke plate from the old inducer assembly can be re-used in the new assembly. Modulating inducer assemblies  do not use an Inlet Choke Plate, see Fig. 4.

1. Un-snap the Inlet Choke from the old inducer assembly.
2. Align the tabs on the Inlet Choke collector box with the slots on the inlet of the replacement inducer assembly and snap into place.
