WARNING
Possible property damage, personal injury or death due to fire, explosion, smoke, soot, condensation, electrical shock or carbon monoxide may result from improper installation, repair operation, or maintenance of this product.
· Centrally locate the furnace with respect to the proposed or existing air distribution system.
· Ensure the temperature of the return air entering the furnace is between 55°F and 100°F when the furnace is heating.
· Provide provisions for venting combustion products outdoors through a proper venting system. Special consideration should be given to vent/flue pipe routing and combustion air intake pipe when applicable. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe -Termination Locations for appropriate termination locations and to determine if the piping system from furnace to termination can be accomplished within the guidelines given. NOTE: The length of flue and/ or combustion air piping can be a limiting factor in the location of the furnace.
· Locate the furnace so condensate flows downwards to the drain. Do not locate the furnace or its condensate drainage system in any area subject to below freezing temperatures without proper freeze protection. Refer to Condensate Drain Lines and Trap for further details.
· Ensure adequate combustion air is available for the furnace. Improper or insufficient combustion air can expose building occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide. Refer to Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements.
· Set the furnace on a level floor to enable proper condensate drainage. If the floor becomes wet or damp at times, place the furnace above the floor on a concrete base sized approximately 1-1/2″ larger than the base of the furnace. Refer to the Horizontal Applications and Considerations for leveling of horizontal furnaces.
· Ensure upflow or horizontal furnaces are not installed directly on carpeting, or any other combustible material. The only combustible material allowed is wood.
· A special accessory subbase must be used for upright counterflow unit installations over any combustible material (including wood). Refer to subbase instructions for installation details. NOTE: A subbase will not be required if an air conditioning coil is located beneath the furnace between the supply air opening and the combustible floor.
· Exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in safety and performance-related problems. Do not install the furnace where the combustion air is exposed to the following substances: – permanent wave solutions
– cleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene)

– printing inks
– chlorinated waxes or cleaners
– paint removers
– chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals – varnishes
– water softening chemicals
– hydrochloric acid
– carbon tetrachloride – cements and glues
-deicing salts or chemicals
– halogen type refrigerants
– antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers – masonry acid washing materials · Isolate a non-direct vent furnace if it is installed near an area frequently contaminated by any of the above substances. This protects the non- direct vent furnace from airborne contaminants. To ensure that the enclosed non-direct vent furnace has an adequate supply of combustion air, vent from a nearby uncontaminated room or from outdoors. Refer to the Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements for details.
· If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling coil
unit, install the furnace upstream or in parallel with the
cooling coil unit. Premature heat exchanger failure
will result if the cooling unit is placed ahead of the
furnace.
· For vertical (upflow or downflow) applications, the minimum cooling coil width shall not be less than furnace width minus 1″. Additionally, a coil installed above an upflow furnace or under a counterflow furnace may be the same width as the furnace or may be one size larger than the furnace. Example: a “C” width coil may be installed with a “B” width furnace. For upflow applications, the front of the coil and furnace must face the same direction.
· If the furnace is installed in a residential garage,
position the furnace so that the burners and ignition source are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm)
above the floor. Protect the furnace from physical damage by vehicles. · If the furnace is installed horizontally, ensure the
access doors are not on the “up/top” or “down/bottom” side of the furnace.
· Do not connect this furnace to a chimney flue that serves a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.
· On Counterflow Installations, the air conditioning coil must be downstream on the supply (positive) side of the furnace heat exchanger.
· Counterflow Installation over a noncombustible floor. Before setting the furnace over the plenum opening,
ensure the surface around the opening is smooth
and level. A tight seal should be made between the furnace base and floor by using a silicone rubber caulking compound or cement grout.

· Counterflow Installation over a combustible floor. If installation over a combustible floor becomes necessary, use an accessory subbase (see Specification Sheet applicable for your model for details). A special accessory subbase must be used for upright counterflow unit installations over any combustible material including wood. Refer to subbase instructions for installation details. Follow the instructions with the subbase for proper installation. Do not install the furnace directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other than wood flooring.
NOTE: A subbase will not be required if an air conditioning coil is installed between the supply air opening on the furnace and the floor.)

Clearances and Accessibility NOTE: For servicing or cleaning, a 24″ front clearance is required. Unit connections (electrical, flue and drain) may necessitate greater clearances than the minimum clearances listed above.

NOTE: In all cases, accessibility clearance must take precedence over clearances from the enclosure where accessibility clearances are greater.

Existing Furnace Removal NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a venting system serving other appliances, the venting system may be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
The following vent testing procedure is reproduced from the American National Standard/National Standard of Canada for Gas-Fired Central Furnaces ANSI Z21.47, CSA-2.3 latest edition Section 1.23.1.
The following steps shall be followed with each appliance connected to the venting system placed in operation, while any other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.

7

2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1-15 and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers. 5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not
connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. 6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continuously. 7. Test for spillage from draft hood appliances at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle. 8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or National Gas and Propane Installation Code CAN/CSA B149.1-15. 9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.
If resizing is required on any portion of the venting system, use the appropriate table in Appendix G in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/ CSA B149.1-15 Installation Codes.

House depressurization can cause back drafting or improper combustion of gas- fired appliances, thereby exposing building occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide.
If this furnace is to be installed in the same space with other gas appliances, such as a water heater, ensure there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for the other appliances. Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/ CSA B149.1-15 Installation Codes or applicable provisions of the local building codes for determining the combustion air requirements for the appliances.
Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the furnace area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connecting directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors such as attics or crawl spaces.
INSTALLATION POSITIONS
This furnace may be installed in an upright position or horizontal on either the left or right side panel. Do not install this furnace on its back. For upright upflow furnaces, return air ductwork may be attached to the side panel(s) and/or basepan. For horizontal upflow furnaces, return air ductwork must be attached to the basepan. For both upright or horizontal counterflow furnaces, return ductwork must be attached to the basepan (top end of the blower compartment).
NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached to the back of the furnace. Contact your distributor for proper airflow requirements and number of required ductwork connections. Refer to “Recommended Installation Positions” figure for appropriate installation positions, ductwork connections, and resulting airflow arrangements.

COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
To avoid property damage, personal injury or death, sufficient fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases must be supplied. Most homes require outside air be supplied into the furnace area.
Improved construction and additional insulation in buildings have reduced heat loss by reducing air infiltration and escape around doors and windows. These changes have helped in reducing heating/cooling costs but have created a problem supplying combustion and ventilation air for gas fired and other fuel burning appliances. Appliances that pull air out of the house (clothes dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces, etc.) increase the problem by starving appliances for air.

Si un problème de ventilation est observé pendant l’un des essais décrits ci-dessus, des correctifs doivent être apportés au système de ventilation conformément au National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 et (ou) au Code d’installation du gaz naturel et du propane, CSA B149.1. 9. Une fois qu’il a été déterminé que chaque appareil raccordé au système de ventilation fonctionne correctement au moyen des essais décrits ci-dessus, les portes, les fenêtres, les ventilateurs, les registres de foyer et tous les autres appareils de combustion alimentés au gaz doivent être remis dans leur état initial.

When installing a furnace horizontally, additional consideration must be given to the following:
Furnace Suspension If suspending the furnace from rafters or joists, use 3/8″ threaded rod and 2″x2″x1/8″ angle iron as shown in the following diagram. The length of rod will depend on the application and the clearances necessary.

9

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.
Front Cover Pressure Switch Tube Location When a furnace is installed horizontally with left side down the front cover pressure switch tube must be re-located to the lower port of the collector box cover.
1. Remove tube from front cover pressure switch and collector box cover.
2. Remove rubber plug from bottom collector box port and install on top collector box port.
3. Locate 24″ x 1/4″ tube in bag assembly. 4. Install one end on front cover pressure switch. 5. Route tube to lower port on collector box cover and
cut off excess tubing.
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 5 ½” 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 Condensate Drain Trap and Lines for further details. 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.
Leveling Leveling ensures proper condensate drainage from the heat exchanger. For proper flue pipe drainage, the furnace must be level lengthwise from end to end. The furnace should have a slight tilt from back to front with the access doors downhill from the back panel approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inches. The slight tilt allows the heat exchanger condensate, generated in the recuperator coil, to flow forward to the recuperator coil front cover.

Figure 3B
Recommended Installation Positions Figure 3C
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). Freeze Protection Refer to Horizontal Applications and Conditions – Drain Trap and Lines.
WARNING
Possible property damage, personal injury or death may occur if the correct conversion kits are not installed. The appropriate kits must be applied to ensure safe and proper furnace operation. All conversions must be performed by a qualified installer or service agency.

VENT PIPE & COMBUSTION AIR
This manual will refer to the pipe that discharges products of combustion to the outdoors as the “vent” pipe or “flue” pipe. The pipe that supplies air for combustion to the furnace will be referred to as the “intake” pipe or “combustion air” pipe.
This furnace is dual certified and may be installed as a non-direct vent (single pipe) or direct vent (dual pipe) appliance.
Materials – Installations in the U.S.A. PVC, CPVC, or ABS pipe & fittings are typically used as venting and intake pipe materials. All 90° elbows must be medium or long radius types. A medium radius elbow should measure ~3-1/16″ minimum from the plane of one opening to the center line of the other opening for 2″ diameter pipe, and ~4-9/16″ minimum for 3″ pipe. In addition to these materials, Innoflue® by Centrotherm Eco Systems is also an approved vent and combustion air materials for installations in the U.S.A. Manufacturers Installation instructions for these products must be followed. These products have specific instructions for installing, joining and terminating. Do not mix materials or components of one manufacturer with materials or components of another manufacturer. Refer to the following chart for plastic pipe & fittings specifications
Materials – Installation in Canada All installations in Canada must conform to the requirements of CAN/CSA B149.1-15 code. All vent components, including primer and cement, must be listed to ULC S636. The certified pipe and fittings should be clearly marked with the ULC standard “S636″. The primer and cement used must be of the same manufacturer as the vent system. For Royal Pipe System 636; use GVS65 Primer (Purple) and GVS-65 PVC Solvent Cement. For IPEX System 636, use PVC/CPVC Primer, Purple or clear. Use PVC Solvent cement (Gray). For Canadian installations, ABS may be used as a combustion air pipe only. ABS is not an approved vent material in Canada. If ABS is used as a combustion air pipe, it must be CSA certified. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions in the use of primer and cement. Do not use primer and cement around potential sources of ignition. Do not use primer or cement beyond its expiration date.

CONDENSATE DRAIN LINES & DRAIN TRAP

A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by extracting heat from the products of combustion to the point where condensation takes place. The condensate must be collected in the furnace drain trap and routed to an appropriate drain location in compliance with local and national codes.
Follow the bullets 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 trap must be primed at time of installation. · The drain line between furnace and drain location
must meet local and nation codes. · The drain line between furnace and drain location
must maintain a 1/4 inch 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. · 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.

17

· 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.

4. Install smaller end of hose #3 on 45º elbow and secure with 1″ clamp.
5. Refer to Field Supplied Drain section for instructions
on field supplied / installed drain on outlet of furnace trap.

NOTE: In vertical installations, air conditioning coil condensate may drain into the furnace trap as long as there is a trap between the coil and the furnace trap and the drain pipe is not terminating below the water level of the furnace trap.
General Drain Information All furnace models come with a factory installed drain trap. For vertical installations, the trap will remain in the factory position except for a counterflow when the installer desires the drain to exit the right side. All furnace models installed horizontally require the trap to be relocated. Many drain hoses have a built­in grommet which will provide a cabinet seal when installed. See instructions below for your model and installation position.

NOTE: Both sides of the drain trap must be primed prior to initial furnace start up

Field Supplied Drain Drain the furnace and air conditioning coil if applicable, in compliance with code requirements. In horizontal or counterflow installations, a field installed rubber coupling will allow the drain trap to be removed for cleaning. The drain trap must be primed before initial furnace start up. When an air conditioning coil drain is connected to the field supplied furnace drain, it must be vented, with an open tee installed at a height no higher than the bottom of the furnace collector box to prevent air conditioning condensate from backing up into the furnace if the common drain was blocked.
Upflow Model Installed Vertically The trap and factory installed hoses remain as shipped. The furnace drain may exit either the right or left side of the furnace cabinet. Both sides of the cabinet have two .875″ diameter holes which can be used interchangeably for drain and low voltage wiring purposes. If a higher drain exit is needed, a .875″ diameter hole may be added in the area shown in Figure 22. Any unused cabinet opening must be sealed. Do not allow drain hose to sag or trap water.

1 LPM-08* supports both Honeywell and White-Rodgers 2-stage valves NOTE: In Canada, gas furnaces are only certified to 4500 feet.

This furnace is shipped from the factory configured for natural gas at standard altitude. Propane gas installations
require an orifice change to compensate for the energy content difference between natural and propane gas.

22

For furnaces being converted to LP gas, it is strongly recommended that a LPLP03 kit also be installed. The use of this kit will prevent the furnace from firing when the LP gas supply pressure is too low to support proper combustion.
High altitude installations may require both a pressure switch and an orifice/spring change. These changes are necessary to compensate for the natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and the combustion air at higher altitude.
For installations above 7000 feet, please refer to the furnace Specification Sheets for required kit(s).
High altitude kits are purchased according to the installation altitude and usage of either natural or propane gas. The indicated kits must be used to insure safe and proper furnace operation. All conversions must be performed by a qualified installer, or service agency.
The high altitude, kit will provide the proper design certified input rate within the specified altitude range.
Do not derate the furnace by adjusting the manifold pressure to a lower pressure than specified on the furnace rating plate. The combination of the lower air density and a lower manifold pressure will prohibit the burner orifice from drawing the proper amount of air into the burner. This may cause incomplete combustion, flashback, and possible yellow tipping.
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 National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149.1-15 in Canada, and information provided by the gas supplier to determine the proper orifice size.

Gas Valve This unit is equipped with a 24 volt gas valve controlled during furnace operation by the integrated control module. As shipped, the valve is configured for natural gas. The valve is field convertible for use with propane gas by replacing the regulator spring with a propane gas spring from an appropriate manufacturer’s propane gas conversion kit. Taps for measuring the gas supply pressure and manifold pressure are provided on the valve.
The gas valve has a manual ON/OFF control located on the valve itself. This control may be set only to the “ON” or “OFF” position. Refer to the lighting instructions label or Startup Procedure & Adjustment for use of this control during start up and shut down periods.

WARNING
To avoid possible unsatisfactory operation of equipment damage due to underfiring or equipment, use the proper size of natural/propane gas piping needed when running pipe from the meter/tank to the furnace.

CFH = BTUH Furnace Input ____ Heating Value of Gas (BTU/Cubic Foot)
The gas piping supplying the furnace must be properly sized based on the gas flow required, specific gravity of the gas, and length of the run. The gas line installation must comply with local codes, or in their absence, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149.1-15.

This unit is configured for natural gas. The appropriate manufacturer’s propane gas conversion kit, must be applied for propane gas installations. Refer to the Propane Gas and/or High Altitude Installations for details.
Consult the furnace Specification Sheet for a listing of appropriate kits. The indicated kits must be used to insure safe and proper furnace operation. All conversions must be performed by a qualified installer, or service agency.

To connect the furnace to the building’s gas piping, the installer must supply a ground joint union, drip leg, manual shutoff valve, and line and fittings to connect to gas valve. In some cases, the installer may also need to supply a transition piece from 1/2″ pipe to a larger pipe size.
The following stipulations apply when connecting gas piping. Refer to Gas Piping Connections figure for typical gas line connections to the furnace.

23

· Gas piping must be supported external to the furnace cabinet so that the weight of the gas line does not distort the burner rack, manifold or gas valve.
· Use black iron or steel pipe and fittings for building piping. Where possible, use new pipe that is properly chamfered, reamed, and free of burrs and chips. If old pipe is used, be sure it is clean and free of rust, scale, burrs, chips, and old pipe joint compound.
· Use pipe joint compound on male threads ONLY. Always use pipe joint compound (pipe dope) that
is APPROVED FOR ALL GASES. DO NOT apply
compound to the first two threads. · Use ground joint unions. · Install a drip leg to trap dirt and moisture before it can
enter the gas valve. The drip leg must be a minimum of three inches long.
· Install a 1/8″ NPT pipe plug fitting, accessible for test gage connection, immediately upstream of the gas
supply connection to the furnace.
· Always use a back-up wrench when making the connection to the gas valve to keep it from turning.
The orientation of the gas valve on the manifold must
be maintained as shipped from the factory. Maximum torque for the gas valve connection is 375 in-lbs; excessive over-tightening may damage the gas valve.
· Install a manual shutoff valve between the gas meter and unit within six feet of the unit. If a union
is installed, the union must be downstream of the manual shutoff valve, between the shutoff valve and the furnace.
· Tighten all joints securely.
· Connection method must be in compliance with all local and national codes. US: National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) NFPA 54-2015 / ANSI Z223.1-2015 and the
Installation Standards, Warm Air Heating and Air
Conditioning Systems ANSI / NFPA 90B
In Canada, CANADA: National Standard of Canada, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code
(NSCNGPIC) CAN/CSA B149.1-15
· Connect the furnace to the building piping by one of the following methods: ­ Rigid metallic pipe and fittings. ­ Semi-rigid metallic tubing and metallic fittings. Aluminum alloy tubing must not be used in exterior locations. In order to seal the grommet cabinet penetration, rigid pipe must be used to reach the outside of the cabinet. A semi-rigid connector to the gas piping may be used from there.
· Use listed gas appliance connectors in accordance with their instructions. Connectors must be fully in the same room as the furnace.
· Protect connectors and semirigid tubing against physical and thermal damage when installed. Ensure
aluminum-alloy tubing and connectors are coated to protect against external corrosion when in contact
with masonry, plaster, or insulation, or subjected to repeated wetting by liquids such as water (except rain water), detergents, or sewage.

The gas piping may enter the left or right side of the
furnace cabinet. The installer must supply rigid pipe long enough to reach the outside of the cabinet to seal the grommet cabinet penetration. A semi-rigid connector to the gas piping can be used outside the cabinet per local codes. 1/2″ NPT pipe and fittings are required. For models with an “L” shaped manifold, a 4 1/2″ long nipple is required. For models with a hook shaped manifold, a 2″ long nipple is required.

A semi-rigid connector to the gas piping can be used outside the cabinet per local codes. From the elbow, the length of pipe and the fittings required will vary by the side chosen, location of union and cabinet width. The union may be placed inside or outside of the cabinet.

Propane Gas Tanks and Piping
WARNING
If the gas furnace is installed in a basement, an excavated area or confined space, it is strongly recommended to contact a propane supplier to install a gas detecting warning device in case of a gas leak.
· Since propane gas is heavier than air, any leaking gas can settle in any low areas or confined spaces.
· Propane gas odorant may fade, making gas undetectable except with a warning device.

Contact a local propane gas supplier about installing a gas detecting warning system. If the presence of gas is suspected, follow the instructions listed in the Safety Considerations section of this manual.

Gas Piping Checks

CAUTION

All propane gas equipment must conform to the safety
standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, NBFU Manual 58.

To avoid the possibility of explosion or fire, never use a match or open flame to test for leaks.

CANADA: National Standard of Canada, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (NSCNGPIC) CAN/CSA B149.1-

plate from the end on the coil; drilling a test hole in it and reinstalling the block off plate. Take a duct static reading at the test hole. Tape up the test hole after your test is complete. The negative pressure must be read between the filter and the furnace blower.
Too much external static pressure will result in insufficient air that can cause excessive temperature rise. This can cause limit switch tripping and heat exchanger failure.

Always use a pipe thread sealant approved for all gases.
DUCT WORK
Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for the CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace. Design the ductwork in accordance with the recommended methods of “Air Conditioning Contractors of America” Manual D.
Install the duct system in accordance with Standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Air Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems. Pamphlets No. 90A and 90B.

To determine total external duct static pressure, proceed as follows:
1. With clean filters in the furnace, use a manometer to measure the static pressure of the return duct at the inlet of the furnace. (Negative Pressure)
2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct. (Positive Pressure)
3. The difference between the two numbers is .4″ w.c.

For example:

Difference is .4

A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached to the back of the furnace. For upflow installations requiring 1800 CFM or more, use either two side returns or bottom return or a combination of side / bottom. Flexible joints may be used for supply and return connections to reduce noise transmission. To prevent the blower from interfering with combustion air or draft when a central return is used, a connecting duct must be installed between the unit and the utility room wall. Never use a room, closet, or alcove as a return air chamber.
When furnace duct(s) supply air outside the space containing the furnace, a return air duct must terminate in the same space as the supply duct and be sealed to the furnace casing.

Static reading from return duct = -.1″ w.c. Static reading from supply duct = .3″ w.c. Total external static pressure on this system =.4″ w.c.

NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read directly on the manometer if so desired. If an air conditioner coil or Electronic Air Cleaner is used in conjunction with the furnace, the readings must also include theses components, as shown in the following drawing.

4. Consult the proper tables for the quantity of air.

If the total external static pressure exceeds the maximum listed on the furnace rating plate, check for closed dampers, registers, undersized and/or oversized poorly laid out duct work.

Never allow the products of combustion, including carbon monoxide, to enter the return duct work or circulation air supply.
Refer to your furnace rating plate for the maximum ESP (external duct static) rating.
Total external static refers to everything external to the furnace cabinet. Cooling coils, filters, ducts, grilles, registers must all be considered when reading your total external static pressure. The supply duct pressure must be read between the furnace and the cooling coil. This reading is usually taken by removing the “A” shaped block off

NOTE: The temperature rise of the furnace must be within the temperature rise range listed on the furnace rating plate.
Bottom Return Air Opening [Upflow Models] The bottom return air opening on upflow models utilizes a “lance and cut” method to remove sheet metal from the duct opening in the base pan. To remove, simply press out the lanced sections by hand to expose the metal strips retaining the sheet metal over the duct opening. Using tin snips, cut the metal strips and remove the sheet metal covering the duct opening. In the corners of the opening,

26

cut the sheet metal along the scribe lines to free the duct flanges. Using the scribe line along the duct flange as a guide, unfold the duct flanges around the perimeter of the opening using a pair of seamer pliers or seamer tongs.
NOTE: Airflow area will be reduced by approximately 18% if duct flanges are left in factory position. This could cause performance issues and noise issues.

When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air entering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.

Filters must be used with this furnace. Discuss filter maintenance with the building owner. Filters do not ship with this furnace, but must be provided, sized and installed externally by the installer. Filters must comply with UL900 or CAN/ULCS111 standards. Damage or repairs due to the installation of the furnace without filters is not covered under the warranty.

Figure 38
When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, the furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the upstream side of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in the heating element. With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other means used to control the flow of air must be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace and, if manually operated, must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.
WARNING
Edges of sheet metal holes may be sharp. Use gloves as a precaution when removing sheet metal from return air openings.
When the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, it is recommended that a removable access panel be provided in the outlet air duct. This opening shall be accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can be viewed for visual light inspection or such that a sampling probe can be inserted into the airstream. The access panel must be made to prevent air leaks when the furnace is in operation.

On upflow units, guide dimples locate the side return cutout locations. Use a straight edge to scribe lines connecting the dimples. Cut out the opening on these lines.
NOTE: An undersized opening will cause reduced airflow.
Horizontal Installations Filters must be installed in either the central return register or in the return air duct work.
Upright Installations Depending on the installation and/or customer preference, differing filter arrangements can be applied. Filters can be installed in the central return register or a side panel external filter rack kit (upflows). As an alternative a media air filter or electronic air cleaner can be used as the requested filter. Consider installing an air cleaner with deep-pleated media filter at the time of furnace installation. A deep-pleated filter with a MERV rating of 8 (minimum) will often provide better filtration to protect equipment and the air distribution system than a standard 1″ filter and often has lower static pressure loss than a 1″ filter. Also a deep-pleated filter will typically require less frequent replacement intervals. Avoid using highly restrictive 1″ filters which produce static pressure loss greater than .25″ W.C. In some installations the minimum filter size required will not lend itself to a filter installation on the side of the furnace. The installation of a centrally installed air cleaner cabinet or a return duct filter installation may offer more practicality.

heating calls (including dual fuel applications) the system
only requires a single W input from the thermostat. Internal
algorithms will control all available cooling and heating stages including dual fuel operation based on these inputs. Any single-stage 24VAC thermostat can be used. For proper operation the thermostat must be setup to control a single-stage AC outdoor unit and to control a single stage
gas furnace. The control board does not accommodate an O wire thermostat input (reversing valve signal). If a heat
pump is installed, the thermostat should be setup as stated above. Setting the thermostat for the heat pump control or multi stage control may result in incorrect performance.
1. Connect all necessary thermostat wires to the
thermostat connector on the furnace control as
instructed by the applicable wiring diagrams shown in this section.
2. Connect the 1 & 2 wires between the indoor and outdoor unit for communicating operation.
NOTE: Verify two stage outdoor units include a 24 VAC transformer (for outdoor control board power) Two stage outdoor units may not behave properly without this 24 VAC transformer.

3. Confirm thermostat heating call functions properly with equipment.
Dehumidification Dehumidification allows the furnace’s circulator blower to operate at a reduced speed during a combined thermostat call for cooling demand with a parallel humidistat. This lower blower speed increases dehumidification of the conditioned air as it passes through the indoor coil. The control board is equipped with a 24 volt dehumidification input (DH) located on the thermostat wiring connector. The terminal can be configured to enable dehumidification when the input is energized or de-energized. When using an external dehumidistat, connect it between the R and DH terminals. If the humidistat closes on humidity rise or the thermostat energizes this terminal when dehumidification is required, set the control board “dHL” (Dehum Logic) menu setting to “HI” using the push buttons or CoolCloud HVAC phone application. If the humidistat opens on humidity rise or the thermostat de- energizes this terminal when dehumidification is required, set the “dHL” (Dehum Logic) menu to “Lo” using the push buttons or CoolCloud HVAC phone application.
Auxiliary Alarm Switch The control is equipped with a 24VAC Aux Alarm to be used for a condensate switch install (designated by CONDENSATE IN/OUT on the control). By default, the connected AUX switch is normally closed and opens when the water level in the evaporator coil base pan reaches an undesirable level. The control responds by displaying an f error code and turning off the outdoor condensing unit. If the AUX switch is detected to be in the closed position for 30 seconds, normal operation resumes and the error message is no longer displayed.

The furnace includes three on-board push buttons allowing users to navigate indoor and outdoor system menus. The Right and Left buttons allow the user to scroll through the main menus and to then scroll through available options within specific menus. The Center button is used to enter into a main menu and to then permanently select options within those menus.
NOTE: After scrolling to the desired option within a menu, that option may be flashing on the 7-segment displays. This indicates the option has not been officially selected. Pressing the Center button two times will select that option. The first press will stop the flashing. The second will make the selection official and return you to the main menu.

STARTUP PROCEDURE & ADJUSTMENT
Furnace must have a 115 VAC power supply properly connected and grounded. Proper polarity must be maintained for correct operation. In addition to the following start-up and adjustment items, refer to further information in Operational Checks section.
Furnace Cabinet Check that all furnace cabinet sealing components are in place (plugs, grommets, gaskets). NOTE: If the furnace bottom panel has not been removed for a return duct connection, all perforations must be sealed with duct sealant compound or other suitable method to prevent air leakage. For optimal performance verify that all door gaskets are properly in place and replace as needed to prevent air leakage.
Drain Trap Priming The drain trap MUST be primed prior to furnace startup. To prime, fill both sides of the drain trap with water. This ensures proper furnace drainage upon startup and prohibits the possibility of flue gases escaping through the drain system.

Furnace Startup 1. Close the manual gas shutoff valve external to the furnace. 2. Turn off the electrical power to the furnace. 3. Set the room thermostat to the lowest possible setting. 4. Remove the burner compartment door.
NOTE: This furnace is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.
5. Move the furnace gas valve manual control to the OFF position.
6. Wait five minutes then smell for gas. Be sure check near the floor as some types of gas are heavier than air.

INLET GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE Natural Gas Minimum: 4.5″ w.c. Maximum: 10.0″ w.c. Propane Gas Minimum: 11.0″ w.c. Maximum: 13.0″ w.c.

CAUTION
To prevent unreliable operation or equipment damage, the inlet gas supply pressure must be as specified on the unit rating plate with all other household gas fired appliances operating.
The line pressure supplied to the gas valve must be within the range specified below. The supply pressure can be measured at the gas valve inlet pressure tap or at a hose fitting installed in the gas piping drip leg. The supply pressure must be measured with the burners operating. To measure the gas supply pressure, use the following procedure.
1. Turn OFF gas to furnace at the manual gas shutoff valve external to the furnace.
2. Connect a calibrated manometer (or appropriate gas pressure gauge) at either the gas valve inlet pressure tap or the gas piping drip leg. See White- Rodgers 36J54 gas valve (Figure 43B) to locate the inlet pressure tap.
NOTE: If using the inlet pressure tap on the WhiteRodgers 36J54 gas valve, then use the 36G/J Valve Pressure Check Kit, Part No. 0151K00000S.
3. Turn ON the gas supply and operate the furnace and all other gas consuming appliances on the same gas supply line.
4. Measure furnace gas supply pressure with burners firing. Supply pressure must be within the range specified in the Inlet Gas Supply Pressure table.

If supply pressure differs from table, make the necessary adjustments to pressure regulator, gas piping size, etc., and/or consult with local gas utility.
5. Turn OFF gas to furnace at the manual shutoff valve and disconnect manometer. Reinstall plug before turning on gas to furnace.
6. Turn OFF any unnecessary gas appliances stated in step three.
Gas Manifold Pressure Measurement and Adjustment
CAUTION
To prevent unreliable operation or equipment damage, the gas manifold pressure must be as specified on the unit rating plate. Only minor adjustments should be made by adjusting the gas valve pressure regulator.
Only small variations in gas pressure should be made by adjusting the gas valve pressure regulator. The manifold pressure must be measured with the burners operating. To measure and adjust the manifold pressure, use the following procedure.
1. Turn OFF gas to furnace at the manual gas shutoff valve external to the furnace.
2. Turn off all electrical power to the system. 3. Outlet pressure tap connections:
White-Rodgers 36J54 valve: Back outlet pressure test screw (inlet/outlet pressure tap) out one turn (counterclockwise, not more than one turn). 4. Attach a hose and manometer to outlet pressure tap . 5. Turn ON the gas supply.
NOTE: Follow this procedure to test the gas valve pressure at 100% firing rate.
Run High Fire NOTE: The Cool Cloud phone application be used to assist with all functional tests. See the quick start guide section for details.
The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer, or service agency at least once per year. This check should be performed 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.

Gas Input Rate Measurement (Natural Gas Only) The actual 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 at high fire rate, time and record one complete revolution of the gas meter dial, measuring the smallest quantity, usually the dial that indicates 1/2 cu. ft. per revolution. You will use this number to calculate the quantity of gas in cubic ft. if the furnace would consume if it ran steadily for one hour (3600 seconds).
3. If the 1/2 cu. ft. dial was used, multiply your number by two. EXAMPLE: If it takes 23 seconds to complete one revolution of the 1/2 ft. dial (23 x 2 = 46).
This tells us that at this rate, it would take 46 seconds to consume one cu. ft. of gas. 3600 / 46 = 78.
This tells us that in one hour, the furnace would consume 78 cu. ft. of gas. The typical value range for 1 cu. ft. of natural gas is around 1000 BTU. Check with your gas utility, if possible. In this example, the furnace is consuming 78,000 BTUH.
NOTE: The final manifold pressure cannot vary by more than ± 0.3″ w.c. for Natural and + 0.5″ for LP from the specified setting. Consult your local gas supplier if additional input rate adjustment is required.
4. Turn ON gas to and relight all other appliances turned off in step 1. Be certain that all appliances are functioning properly and that all pilot burners are operating.
Temperature Rise Temperature rise must be within the range specified on the unit rating plate. An incorrect temperature rise may result in condensing in or overheating of the heat exchanger. An airflow and temperature rise table is provided in the Specification Sheet applicable to your model. Determine and adjust temperature rise as follows:
1. Operate furnace with burners firing for approximately ten 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 heat exchanger.
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.
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 Startup Procedure and Adjustment – Circulator Blower Speeds for speed changing details.

Diagnostics Accessing the furnace’s diagnostic menu provides access to the last six faults detected by the furnace. Faults are stored most recent to least recent. Any consecutively repeated fault is stored a maximum of three times.
EXAMPLE: A clogged return air filter causes the furnace limit to trip repeatedly. The control will only store this fault the first three consecutive times the fault occurs.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the fault history be cleared when performing maintenance or servicing the furnace.
NORMAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Power Up The normal power up sequence is as follows:
· 115 VAC power applied to furnace. · Integrated control module performs internal checks. · Integrated control module monitors safety circuits
continuously. · The furnace enters a three minute power up delay to
make sure the system is setup properly. During this time thermostat calls will not be recognized. · Furnace awaits call from thermostat. 7-segment LED’s display while awaiting call from thermostat.
Heating Mode The normal operational sequence in heating mode is as follows:
· W thermostat contact closes, initiating a call for heat. · Integrated control module performs safety circuit
checks. · Induced draft blower is energized on high speed for a
15-second prepurge.

· Induced draft blower steps to low speed following prepurge. Low stage pressure switch contacts are
closed.
· Igniter warm up begins upon Inducer draft blower step to low speed and presence of closed low stage
pressure switch contacts.
· Gas valve opens at end of igniter warm up period,
delivering gas to burners and establishing flame. · Integrated control module monitors flame presence.
Gas valve will remain open only if flame is detected. · Based on the furnace internal control algorithms the
gas valve and induced draft blower may continue operating on low stage or both will change to high stage. After a power cycle, the first gas heat call will result in high stage operation.
· Circulator blower is energized on heat speed following the selected blower on delay and will begin to ramp up. Electronic air cleaner terminal is energized with
circulator blower. · Furnace is now operating on the specified stage
determined by the internal control algorithm. · Furnace runs, integrated control module monitors
safety circuits continuously.
· If the internal algorithm changes the call from low
heat to high heat, the integrated control module
will immediately switch the induced draft blower, gas valve, and circulator blower to their high stage settings.
· If the internal algorithm changes the call from high
heat to low heat, the control will immediately switch
the induced draft blower and gas valve to their low stage settings. The circulator blower remains on high heating speed for 30 seconds before switching to the low heat circulating speed.
· The W terminal thermostat contacts open, which ends
the call for heat.
· The gas valve closes, extinguishing the flame. · Induced draft blower is de- energized following a 15
second post purge.
· Circulator blower continues running for the selected heat off delay period. The blower speed during this period depends on the last heat call provided by the thermostat. If the last call for heat was a call for low
heat, the air circulator motor will run on low heat
speed for the duration of the heat off delay period. If the last call for heat was a call for high heat, the air
circulating motor will run on low heat speed for the
duration of the heat off delay period. If the last call for heat was a call for high heat, the air circulating
motor will run on the high heating speed for thirty (30)
seconds and then switch to the low heating speed for
the reminder of the heat off delay period. · Circulator blower and electronic air cleaner terminal
are de-energized.
· Circulator blower shuts off after the heat off delay period expires.
· Furnace awaits next call from thermostat.

Operational Checks The burner flames should be inspected with the burner compartment door 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. Flames must not impinge on the sides of the heat exchanger firing tubes.
SAFETY CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

the induced draft blower and the coil front cover. These switches guard against insufficient airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger and/or blocked condensate drain conditions.
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.

WARNING
Do not bypass safety devices.

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.
Integrated Control Module The integrated control module is an electronic device which, if a potential safety concern is detected, will take the necessary precautions and provide diagnostic information through an LED.
Primary Limit The primary limit control is located on the partition panel and monitors heat exchanger compartment temperatures. It is a normally-closed (electrically), automatic reset, temperature-activated sensor. The limit guards against overheating as a result of insufficient conditioned air passing over the heat exchanger.
Auxiliary Limit The auxiliary limit controls are located on or near the circulator blower and monitors blower compartment temperatures. They are a normally-closed (electrically), manual-reset sensors. These limits guard against overheating as a result of insufficient conditioned air passing over the heat exchanger.
Rollout Limit The rollout limit controls are mounted on the burner/ manifold assembly and monitor the burner flame. They are normally-closed (electrically), manual-reset sensors. These limits guard against burner flames not being properly drawn into the heat exchanger.
Pressure Switches The pressure switches are normally-open (closed during operation) negative air pressure-activated switches. They monitor the airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger via pressure taps located on

Burner Flame Figure 65
TROUBLESHOOTING
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions NOTE: 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, the 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 modul
