DO NOT install the thermostat on an outside wall or any other location where its operation may be adversely affected by radiant heat from fireplaces, sunlight, or lighting fixtures, and convective heat from warm air registers or electrical appliances. Refer to the thermostat manufacturer’s instruction sheet for detailed mounting information.
Checking Heat Anticipator Settings
-
Add the current draw of the system heating components.
OR -
Measure the current flow on the thermostat R-W circuit after the circulating blower motor has started. Set the heat anticipator according to the thermostat manufacturer’s instructions for heat anticipator settings.
Blower Speed
The blower speed is preset at the factory for fan only, heating, and cooling
operation. These factory settings are listed in Table 5 (page 20) and Table 6
(page 21). For optimum system performance and comfort, it may be necessary to
change the factory set speed.
CAUTION:
To avoid personal injury or property damage, make sure the motor leads do not
come into contact with any uninsulated metal components of the unit.
5-Speed ECM Motor
-

GAS SUPPLY & PIPING
WARNING:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
- Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death, or property damage.
- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
- Do not try to light any appliance.
- Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
- Leave the building immediately.
- Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
- If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
- All gas piping must be installed in compliance with local codes and utility regulations. In the absence of local codes the gas line installation must comply with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes.
- Some local codes require the installation of a manual main shut-off valve and ground joint union external to the unit. The shut-off valve should be readily accessible for service and/or emergency use. Consult the local utility or gas supplier for additional requirements regarding placement of the manual main gas shut-off. See Figure 7 (page 13).
- The manifold pressure must be set to the appropriate value for your installation. Refer to the Manifold Pressure Adjustment section (page 15) for adjustment instructions.
- Gas piping must never run in or through air ducts, chimneys, gas vents, or elevator shafts.
- The main gas shutoff valve and main power disconnect to the unit must be properly labeled by the installer in case emergency shutdown is required.
- An 1/8 inch NPT plugged tap must be installed in the gas line immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the unit for use when measuring the gas supply pressure. The plug should be readily accessible for service use.
- A drip leg should be installed in the vertical pipe run to the unit. See Figure 7.
This unit only has right side gas entry. When connecting the gas, provide
clearance between the gas supply line and the entry hole in the unit’s casing
to avoid unwanted noise and/or damage to the unit. A typical gas service
hookup is shown in Figure 7.
Table 7 (page 22) lists gas pipe capacities for standard pipe sizes as a
function of length in typical applications based on nominal pressure drop in
the line.
Leak Check
WARNING:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury,
death, or property damage.
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. A fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
After the gas piping to the unit is complete, all connections must be tested
for gas leaks. This includes pipe connections at the main gas valve, emergency
shutoff valve and other gas connectors. A soap and water solution can be
applied on each joint or union using a small paintbrush. If any bubbling is
observed, the connection is not sealed adequately and must be retightened.
Repeat the tightening and soap check process until bubbling ceases.
- If pressure testing the gas supply lines at pressures greater than 1/2 psig (14 inches WC), the unit must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system to prevent damage to the gas valve.
- If the test pressure is less than or equal to 1/2 psig (14 inches WC), the unit must be isolated from the gas supply line by closing the manual shut-off valve.
High Altitude Conversion – Natural Gas
High altitude conversion with this furnace depends on the installation
altitude and the heating value of the gas. Installation of this furnace at
altitudes above 2,000 feet shall be in accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Please consult your local code authority.
WARNING:
The reduction of input rating necessary for high altitude installation may
only be accomplished with factory supplied orifices. Do not attempt to drill
out orifices in the field. Improperly drilled orifices may cause fire,
explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury or death.
The furnaces are shipped from the factory with orifices and gas regulator
settings for natural gas operation at sea level altitudes. At 2,000 feet, the
NFGC requires that this appliance be derated 4% for each 1,000 feet of
altitude. For example, at 2,000 feet the input needs to be reduced 8%, at
3,000 feet (12%), etc. This deration is in reference to the input rate and gas
heating value at sea level.
To derate the furnace requires knowing the heating value of the gas at the
installation site. Heating values at particular job sites vary for two
reasons:
- The chemical mixture of the gas varies across regions and is expressed as the “sea level heating value”.
- The heating value varies by altitude. For this reason, especially in high altitude areas, the local gas utility specifies the heating value at the residence’s gas meter as the “local value”.
WARNING:
This unit was equipped at the factory for use with natural gas only.
LP/Propane cannot be used with this unit. Failure to follow safety
warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property
damage.
START UP & ADJUSTMENTS
Pre-Start Check List
√ Verify the unit is level and allows condensate to drain.
√ Verify all clearance requirements are met and there is free airflow to and
from the outdoor coil.
√ Verify that the duct work is sealed to prevent air leakage and air filter is
installed.

AUTO.
Start-Up Procedure
WARNING:
If this unit is equipped with crankcase heaters, allow 24 hrs for heating of
the refrigerant compressor crankcase prior to start up or anytime the power
has been removed for more than 12 hrs. Failure to comply may result in damage
or cause premature failure of the system.
Air Circulation
Leave the thermostat system mode on OFF, and set the fan mode to ON. Blower
should run continuously. Check the air delivery at the supply registers and
adjust register openings for balanced air distribution. Examine ductwork for
leaks or obstruction if insufficient air is detected. Set the thermostat fan
mode to AUTO. The blower should stop running.
System Cooling
- Set the thermostat’s system mode to COOL and the fan mode to AUTO. Gradually lower the thermostat temperature setpoint below room temperature and verify the compressor, fan and indoor blower energize.
- Feel the air being circulated by the indoor blower and verify that it is cooler than ambient temperature. Listen for any unusual noises. If unusual sounds occur, determine the source of the noise and correct as necessary.
- Allow the cooling system to operate for several minutes and then set the temperature selector above room temperature. Verify the fan and compressor cycle off with the thermostat.
NOTE: The blower will also stop after a 60 second delay.
System Heating
- Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
- Follow the procedures given on the operating instruction label, this manual or attached inside the louvered control access panel.
- Set the thermostat above room temperature and verify the Operating Sequence. See page 16.
- Verify that the compressor and outdoor fan motor are not energized.
- After the unit has run for approximately five minutes, set the thermostat below room temperature and verify the shutdown sequence; steps 10, 11, & 12 in the Operating Sequence section on page 16.
Verifying & Adjusting Temperature Rise
Verify the temperature rise through the unit is within the range specified on
the unit data label. Temperature rises outside the specified range could
result in premature heat exchanger failure.
- Place thermometers in the return and supply air stream as close to the unit as possible. The thermometer on the supply air side must be shielded against direct radiation from the heat exchanger to avoid false readings.
- Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired position. Run the unit for 10 to 15 minutes before taking any temperature readings. The temperature rise is the difference between the supply and return air temperatures.
NOTE: For typical duct systems, the temperature rise will fall within the
range specified on the data label (with the blower speed at the factory
recommended setting) shown in Table 5 (page 20) or Table 6 (page 21). If the
measured temperature rise falls outside the specified range, it may be
necessary to change the blower speed. Lowering the blower speed increases the
temperature rise and a higher speed decreases the temperature rise.
Verifying & Adjusting Firing Rate
CAUTION:
Do not re-drill the burner orifices. If the orifice size must be changed, use
only new orifices.
The firing rate must be verified for each installation to prevent over-firing
of the unit. The firing rate must not exceed the rate shown on the unit data
label. To determine the firing rate, follow the steps below:
-
Obtain the gas heating value (HHV) from the gas supplier.
-
Shut off all other gas fired appliances.
-
Start the unit in heating mode and allow it to run for at least 3 minutes.
-
Measure the time (in seconds) required for the gas meter to complete one revolution.
-
Convert the time per revolution to cubic feet of gas per hour using Table 8 (page 22).
-
Multiply the gas flow rate in cubic feet per hour by the heating value of the gas in Btu per cubic foot to obtain the firing rate in Btu per hour. See Example.
Example:
• Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with a 1 cubic foot dial = 40 seconds.
• From Table 8, read 90 cubic feet gas per hour.
• Local heating value of the gas (obtained from gas supplier) = 1,040 Btu per cubic foot.
• Input rate = 1,040 x 90 = 93,600 Btuh. -
Adjust the manifold pressure if necessary. See Manifold Pressure Adjustment below. For additional information about elevations above 2,000 feet, see page 13.
Manifold Pressure Adjustment
The manifold pressure must be set to the appropriate value for your
installation. To adjust the manifold pressure:
-
Obtain the required manifold pressure setting
NOTE: The values listed in the tables are based on sea level values. At higher altitudes, the heating value of gas is lower than the sea level heating value. -
Remove the regulator capscrew (Figure 8) from the INLET side of the regulator.
-
Slowly turn the adjustment screw inside the regulator to obtain the appropriate manifold pressure. NOTE: Turning the screw clockwise increases the pressure and turning the screw counter-clockwise decreases the pressure. To prevent backing the screw all the way out from the valve, turn the screw slowly.
-
Replace and tighten the regulator capscrew over the adjustment screw.
Verifying Over-Temperature Limit Control Operation
-
Verify the louvered control access panel is in place and that there is power to the unit.
-
Block the return airflow to the unit by installing a close-off plate in place of or upstream of the filter.
-
Set the thermostat above room temperature and verify the units operating sequence on page 16.
NOTE: The over-temperature limit control should turn off the gas valve within approximately four minutes (exact time depends on the efficiency of the close-off when blocking the return air). The circulating air and combustion blowers should continue to run when the over-temperature limit control switch opens. -
Remove the close-off plate immediately after the over- temperature limit control opens. If the unit operates for more than four minutes with no return air, set the thermostat below room temperature, shut off power to the unit, and replace the over-temperature limit control.
Verifying Burner Operation
CAUTION:
The door over the burners may only be open for inspection purposes only. The
door must be installed during unattended operation.
-
Remove the burner compartment door and note the location of the sightglass on burner head.
-
Set the thermostat above room temperature and observe the ignition sequence.
NOTE: The burner flame should be present by seeing a glow through the sightglass. -
After validating the flame, change the thermostat setting to below room temperature.
-
Verify the burner flame is completely extinguished.
-
Replace the burner compartment door.
Verify Operation of the Supply Air Limit Switch
A properly functioning limit switch should turn off the gas valve when the
return is blocked (time depends on how well the return air is blocked). The
circulating air and combustion blowers should continue to run when the limit
switch opens.
- Verify the blower door is securely mounted in place and that there is power to the furnace.
- Block the return airflow to the furnace by installing a closeoff plate in place of or upstream of the filter(s).
- Set the thermostat above room temperature and observe the Operating Sequence.
- Remove the close-off immediately after the limit switch opens. If the furnace continues to operate with no return air, set the thermostat below room temperature, shut off power to the furnace, and replace the limit switch.
OPERATING SEQUENCE
The operating sequences for the heating, cooling, and fan modes are described
below. Refer to the field and unit wiring diagram. See Figure 12 (page 24).
Heating Cycle
- The thermostat calls for heat by energizing the W terminal with 24VAC.
- The control verifies the safety circuit pressure switch is open and high temperature limit switch circuit is closed.
- If the pressure switch is open, the control energizes the inducer and waits for the pressure switch to close. The pressure switch must close within 10 seconds.
- The control runs the inducer for a 30 second pre-purge.
- The control energizes the igniter output for a 30 second warm-up period.
- The control energizes the main gas valve for 3 seconds.
- If the flame is proved after igniting the gas, the control deenergizes the igniter. The gas valve and inducer remain energized. The control goes to blower on delay.
- If flame is present, the control energizes the blower on the selected HEAT speed 30 seconds after the gas valve opened. The gas valve remains energized while the inducer ramps to Max. RPM over a programmed time period.
- When the thermostat demand for heat is satisfied, the control de-energizes the gas valve. The inducer output remains on for a 90 second post-purge period.
- Blower off timing of 60, 90, 120, & 180 seconds (depending on the movable jumper setting) begins when the thermostat is satisfied. See Figure 14 (page 16). The control will operate at the selected HEAT speed of 60 seconds, then change to FAN speed for the remaining off delay time. If the blower off delay jumper is not present, the fan should still operate for 120 seconds at the selected HEAT speed. The indoor blower motor is de-energized after a blower off delay as selected by the movable jumper.
Cooling Cycle
- The thermostat calls for cooling by energizing the Y & G terminal with 24VAC.
- The control energizes the blower in the cooling speed and sends 24VAC to the contactor in the condensing section.
- When the thermostat removes the call for cooling, the contactor in the outdoor condensing section is de-energized and the control continues to run the fan for a period of 60 seconds.
Fan Mode
- When the thermostat energizes the G terminal for continuous fan (without calling for heat or cooling), the indoor fan is energized on the selected FAN speed. See Figure ## (Page ##). The control defaults to MEDIUM HIGH if the movable jumper is not attached.
- If a call for cooling occurs during continuous fan, the blower will switch over to the selected COOL speed.
- If the W terminal receives a call for heat during continuous fan, the blower will de-energize and reset to delayed ON timing.
- A call for fan is ignored while in lockout.

REFRIGERANT CHARGING
WARNING:
These units are shipped fully charged with R-410A refrigerant and ready for
installation. When a system is installed according to these instructions, no
refrigerant charging is required. If repairs make it necessary for evacuation
and charging, it should only be done by qualified, trained personnel
thoroughly familiar with this equipment. Some local codes require licensed
installation/service personnel to service this type of equipment. Under no
circumstances should the owner attempt to install and/or service this
equipment. Failure to comply with this warning could result in property
damage, personal injury, or death.
CAUTION:
This unit uses R-410A refrigerant. DO NOT use any other refrigerant in this
unit. Use of another refrigerant may damage the unit.
The system refrigerant charge can be checked and adjusted through the service
ports provided at the front panel. Use only gauge lines which have a
“Schrader” depression device present to actuate the valve. Draw a vacuum on
gauge lines to remove air before attaching them to the service ports on the
unit. Refrigerant charging must be done by qualified personnel familiar with
safe and environmentally responsible refrigerant handling procedures.
Application Notes & Charging Charts
(Cooling Mode Only)
This equipments cooling system contains refrigerant under high pressure,
always use safe practices when servicing the unit. Always review the factory
literature and safety warnings prior to servicing.
These units are shipped from the factory with the proper amount and type of
refrigerant. Always inspect the unit rating label to determine the units
information prior to working on the system. Do not mix different refrigerants
or charge the unit with a refrigerant not listed on the unit rating label.
The charging tables are valid for a variety of indoor, return air conditions
and are most highly influenced by the outdoor ambient temperature, outdoor fan
operation and the unit operating voltage. Before referencing the charts,
always make sure that the compressor circuit is energized on nominal speed (Y1
energized) and has stable operation. As can be seen in the charging charts,
the ideal system sub-cooling can vary over the range of operation. Always
reference the charts to determine the ideal amount of sub-cooling for a given
liquid pressure. Units charged to other values will not perform at the rated
unit efficiency (EER). For 2 – 4 ton units, see Table 10 (page 26), Table 11
(page 26), Table 12 (page 27), Table 13 (page 27), & Table 14 (page 28). For 5
ton units see Figure 13 (page 28).
To inspect a systems operation, using quality instruments, match the measured
liquid temperature to the units chart. The measured liquid pressure reading
should be within 3% of the value shown for most installations.
For systems that are operating with more then a 5% deviation, inspect the unit
for leaks. Always use safe and environmentally sound methods for refrigerant
handling. When repairing system leakages, always utilize a nitrogen (inert)
gas to protect the refrigerant system and pressure check the repair before
recharging. Always replace the filter-dryers when performing any repair to the
refrigeration system. After completing the repairs, evacuate the system to
350-500 microns and weigh in the refrigerant to the amount specified on the
unit rating label.
Refrigerant Charging Tables (Cooling Mode Only)
Shaded boxes indicate flooded conditions.
Rated design values. The suction pressure will be lower than design value if
indoor air flow, entering dry bulb, or entering wet bulb temperatures are
lower than design.
- All pressures are listed in psig and all temperatures in ° F
- Discharge temperatures greater than charted values indicate an undercharged system.

FURNACE COMPONENTS
The descriptions below are various functional components that affect the
operation and shutting down of this furnace. Some of these components and
their locations are shown in Figure 14. If any component of the furnace must
be replaced, use only factory authorized replacement parts specified in the
Replacement Parts List.
Flame Sensor – Verifies when a flame is present. If no flame is detected,
the furnace will shut down within 4 seconds.
Gas Valve – Controls the flow of gas to the burners. When the gas valve
is energized it automatically opens and regulates the gas pressure in the
manifold.
Inducer Assembly – Vents products of combustion to the outside.
Pressure Switch – Verifies that the inducer is drawing the combustion
gases through the heat exchanger. The pressure switch prevents furnace
operation with excessive flue blockage or improper inducer operation.
Main Air Limit Switch – Prevents the air temperature leaving the furnace
from exceeding the maximum allowable outlet air temperature.
Temperature Limit Switch – Verifies the inducer is drawing combustion
gases through the heat exchanger properly. The temperature switch prevents
furnace operation in the event of flue or combustion air passageway blockage,
or improper inducer operation. If the roll-out switch opens, the gas valve
will close and initiate the shutdown cycle. The blower will run continuously
due to open limit fault.
