Table 5. Voltage Specifications & Thermostat Wire Gauge
Low Voltage Wiring

• The furnace is designed to be controlled by a 24 VAC thermostat. The thermostat’s wiring must comply with the current provisions of the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70) and with applicable local codes having jurisdiction.
• The thermostat must be installed according to the instructions supplied by the thermostat manufacturer. Low voltage connections (24 VAC) from the thermostat are wired to the terminal strip on the integrated control in the furnace.
• The thermostat should be mounted about 5 feet above the floor on an inside wall. 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.
• The nominal anticipator setting is 0.4. Refer to the thermostat literature for additional information.
• Best practice is to use five-wire conductor thermostat wire for 24 volt low-voltage circuit (2-wire is required for furnace only; 5-wire for heating and optional cooling systems). Refer to Table 6, (page 16) for thermostat wire information.

Connecting Thermostat Wires

1. Insert 24 volt wires through the plastic grommet just above the control panel.
2.  Connect the thermostat wires to the furnace low voltage pigtails (dependent on the installation application). See Figure 25 (page 13). NOTE: If AC is installed with the furnace, a Y connection is required to be made at the furnace. See Figure 31 (page 25).
3.  Connect low-voltage circuit to the wall thermostat.
4. A hole may be made in the furnace cabinet to ease thermostat wiring. Make sure that the wiring is protected from the sharp edge of the added hole.
   Verifying Anticipator Setting
   After the furnace is installed, check the thermostat anticipator against the nominal setting of 0.4.
   1. Connect the milliamp meter in series with one of the gas valve’s low voltage terminals.
   2. Energize the gas valve.
   3. Read the value of the milliamps.
   4. Adjust the heat anticipator of the thermostat to the value on the milliamp meter. If the heat anticipator is set too high, the furnace may delay turning on. If set too low, the furnace may cycle frequently and not provide comfort to the homeowner.

Grounding

WARNING: To minimize personal injury, the furnace cabinet must have an uninterrupted or unbroken electrical ground. The controls used in this furnace require an earth ground to operate properly. Acceptable methods include electrical wire or conduit
approved for ground service. Do not use gas piping as an electrical ground!

FUEL SUPPLY & PIPING

WARNING: All piping must conform with local building codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the most recent edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or (CAN/CSA B149.1). Failure to follow all safety warnings could result in serious injury, death or property damage.
This furnace may be installed with left, right, or bottom gas entry. When connecting the gas supply, provide clearance between the gas supply line and the entry hole in the furnace casing to avoid unwanted noise and/or damage to the furnace. Typical gas service hookup for this furnace is shown in Figure 26.
Table 9, (page 23) lists gas flow capacities for standard pipe sizes as a function of length in typical applications based on nominal pressure drop in the line.
IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Some local regulations require the installation of a manual main shut-off valve and ground joint union external to the furnace. See Figure 26. The shutoff 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.

• Per ANSI 21.47, A 1/8-inch NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the furnace external to the cabinet.
  If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance connector, always use a new listed connector. Do not use a connector that has previously serviced another gas appliance.

• Gas piping must never run in or through air ducts, chimneys, gas vents, or elevator shafts.

• Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the actions of -liquefied petroleum gases.

• The main gas valve and main power disconnect to the furnace must be properly labeled by the installer in case emergency shutdown is required.
• Flexible gas connectors are not recommended for this furnace but may be used if allowed by local jurisdiction. Only new flexible connectors may be used. DO NOT reuse old flexible gas connectors.
• Best practice is to use a drip leg for a vertical run to the unit.
• All piping shall be black iron pipe. Internally tinned copper tubing may be used for gas supply systems.
• Fuel line installations other than typical installations shown in Figure 26 must comply with the fuel piping provisions stated in the Federal Manufactured Home Standard (H.U.D. TITLE 24, PART 3280) and the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA-54).
• Shut-off valve must be designed and listed for use with liquid petroleum (L.P. gas).
• Plugged tappings (1/8” NPT) for test gauge connection are present on the gas valve. See Figure 27 for locations.
  NOTE: Optional fuel inlet lines are available for all gas furnace models to permit the addition of a 1/2” F.P.T. shut-off valve above the floor.
  The gas supply to your home will either be Natural Gas or L.P. Your furnace is factory equipped to operate on Natural Gas. If your gas supply is L.P., you must contact a qualified serviceman or gas supplier to convert the furnace. Instructions for conversion to propane are shown on page 17. Factory installed orifice sizes are listed in Table 6, (page 16).
  For natural gas operation, the maximum inlet pressure for the valve is 7” W.C and the minimum inlet pressure is 4.5” W.C. Pressure is reduced to 3 1/2” W.C. by the pressure regulator in the gas valve.
  For LP gas, pressure to the gas valve must be more than 11” W.C. but not more than 13” W.C. Pressure is reduced to 10” W.C. by the pressure regulator in the gas valve.

Leak Check
WARNING:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or propertydamage.
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 furnace is complete, all connections must be tested for gas leaks. This includes all fittings, pipe connections at the main gas valve, emergency shutoff valve, and flexible gas connectors (if applicable).
The 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.

**CAUTION:**
When pressure testing gas supply lines at pressures greater than 1/2 psig (14 inch W.C.), the gas supply piping system must be disconnected from the furnace to prevent damage to the gas control valve. If the test pressure is less than or equal to 1/2 psig (14 inch W.C.), close the manual shut-off valve
Flue Gas Sampling
It may be necessary to take flue gas sampling in order to check the performance after furnace installation. A flue gas sample may be taken from the heat exchanger, which is located behind the hole of the top-front of blower compartment.

1. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.

2. Remove the black plastic cap located above the blower. Do not discard cap.

3.  Drill a hole through the top of the blower compartment.
   NOTE: Hole diameter should be same size as sampling tube.

4.  Insert sampling tube through the drilled hole and into the heat exchanger.

5. After a complete check and adjustment of furnace performance, seal the drilled hole with a screw larger than the hole. NOTE: Seal the screw threads with silicon sealant – rated at least 500° F.

6.  Plug the outside hole with the plastic cap removed in step 3.

High Altitude Conversion

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.
High altitude conversion with this furnace depends on the installation altitude and the heating value of the gas.
The installation of this furnace at altitudes above 2,000 feet must meet the requirements of the National Fuel Gas Code or local jurisdiction. In Canada, the requirements for high altitude are different and governed by CSA B149.1. Always consult your local code authority.
This furnace is 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 1000 feet of altitude. For example, the input needs to be reduced 8% at 2,000 feet, 12% at 3,000 feet and 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:

1. The chemical mixture of the gas varies from region to region and is expressed as the “sea level heating value”.
2. 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”.

For added flexibility, two tables have been provided for natural gas installations with high or low heating values at sea level. Table 11, (page 24) & Table 12, (page 24) contain the manifold pressure and orifice sizes to use at various altitudes. Table 11 (HIGH) is for natural gas installations with a heating value of more than 1,000 Btu per cubic foot and Table 12 (LOW) is for less than 1,000 Btu per cubic foot. To determine which table to use:

1. Consult the local utility for the local heating value at your installation site.
2. From Table 10, (page 24), find your local heating value as supplied by the utility company. Follow down the column and stop at your altitude level.
3.  If your sea level heating value is HIGH, use Table 11 or if it’s LOW, use Table 12. See Example.
   After changing the orifices, it is required that you measure the gas input rate. This may be accomplished in the usual way, by clocking the gas meter and using the local gas heating value. See Verifying Input Rate (page 19).
   IMPORTANT NOTE: Observe the action of the burners to make sure there is no yellowing, lifting or flashback of the flame.

Installation Example
Elevation: …………………………………………… 5,000 feet
Type of Gas: ……………………………………..Natural Gas
Local Heating Value of Gas: ………………………….750
Determine which natural gas table to use. From Table 10, (page 24), find 750 and follow down the column, stop at the 5,000 feet row. The heating value listed is LOW. Table 12, (page 24) will be used to determine orifice size and verify manifold pressure.
Conversion to Propane (LP) Gas
WARNING: This furnace was shipped from the factory equipped to operate on natural gas. Conversion to LP/propane gas must be performed by qualified service personnel using factory supplied conversion parts. Failure to use the proper conversion kit can cause fire, explosion, property damage, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury, or death.
WARNING: Shut off the gas supply at the manual gas shutoff valve, before disconnecting the electrical power. A fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property damage.
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, personal injury, or death, turn off the electric power at the disconnect or the main service panel before making any electrical connections.
This furnace can be converted from factory-equipped natural gas to liquid propane gas. Conversion of this valve requires replacement of the burner orifice and flipping the regulator cap to the side marked LP. The orifice required for conversion is supplied with the furnace. See Figure 27.
For altitudes between 0 and 1,999 feet, use the factory supplied LP orifice as shown in Table 6, (page 16).
Altitudes between 2,000 and 10,000 feet require the orifice to be changed. Table 13, (page 24) lists the correct orifice size and manifold pressure at different altitudes.

• Do not use this furnace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a service technician to inspect the furnace and to replace any part of the gas valve or control system which has been under water.

WARNING: Close the hinged fire door. If door is left open or spring is broken it may allow products of combustion into the living space by the furnace blower, resulting in possible asphyxiation.
WARNING: Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fails to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the furnace before shutting off the electrical supply.

Operating Instructions
(Direct Ignition Furnaces)
Direct ignition furnaces do not have a pilot. Ignition is accomplished by a hot surface ignitor. A circuit board takes care of all timing functions. After lighting, the circuit board uses the ignitor as a flame sensor, shutting off gas should the flame go out. There are no external relays or timing devices. Do not try to light this furnace by hand.
The circuit board is not field serviceable.

1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.

2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.

3. Remove the furnace door and turn off the gas valve.
   Push in and turn the gas control knob clockwise to OFF. See Figure 28 (page 20).

4. Wait ten (10) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas, STOP! and follow the Safety Information. If you do not smell gas, proceed to step 5.

5. Set the thermostat MODE the ON position.

6. Turn the gas valve ON. Push in and turn gas control knob counter-clockwise to ON (Figure 28).

7.  Replace the furnace door.

8. Turn on all electric power to the appliance.

9. Change the thermostat mode to HEAT and the temperature selector to a desired temperature level.
   The igniter should light in approximately 75 seconds.
   If the appliance will not operate, see “How to Shut Off Gas – Direct Ignition” on page 19 and call your service technician or gas supplier.

NOTE: In the event of any flashback or explosion, immediately shut off the furnace and call your service technician.
How to Shut Off Gas – Direct Ignition Models

1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2.  Turn off all electric power to the appliance before servicing unit.
3.  Set the furnace On-Off Switch to OFF.
4. Turn gas control knob clockwise to OFF (Figure 28).
5. Replace the furnace door.

Verifying Input Rate
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The input rate must not exceed the rate shown on the furnace rating plate. At altitudes above 2,000 feet, it must not exceed that on the rating plate less 4% for each 1,000 feet.
The input rate must be verified for each installation to prevent over-firing of the furnace. To determine the exact input rate, perform the following procedures:

1. Shut off all other gas fired appliances.

2. Start the furnace and run it for at least 3 minutes.

3. Measure the time (in seconds) required for the gas meter to complete one revolution.

4. Convert the time per revolution to cubic feet of gas per hour using Table 8, (page 23).

5. Multiply the gas flow rate in cubic ft per hr by the heating value of the gas in Btu per cubic ft to obtain the input rate in Btuh. See example.
   Example:
   • Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with a 1 cubic ft dial = 40 seconds.
   • From Table 8 read 90 cubic ft gas per hr.
   • Local heating value of the gas (obtained from gas supplier) = 1,040 Btu per cubic ft.
   • Input rate = 1,040 x 90 = 93,600 Btuh.

6. The manifold pressure must be verified for each installation by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. See page 18.

Verifying & Adjusting Temperature Rise
Confirm the temperature rise through the furnace is within the limits specified on the furnace rating plate. Any temperature rise outside the specified limits could result in premature failure of the heat exchanger.

1. Place thermometers in the return and supply air stream as close to the furnace as possible. To avoid false readings, the thermometer on the supply air side must beshielded from direct radiation from the heat exchanger.
2. Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired position and run the furnace for 10 to 15 minutes in high fire before taking any temperature readings. The temperature rise is the difference between the supply and return air temperatures.
   For typical duct systems, the temperature rise will fall within the limits specified on the rating plate with the blower speed at the factory recommended setting. If the measured temperature rise is outside the specified limits, it may be necessary to change the speed of the blower. NOTE: Lowering the blower speed increases the temperature rise and a higher blower speed will decrease the temperature rise.
   The furnace is equipped with a multi-tap ECM motor. For alternate motor tap selections see Table 14, (page 26)& Table 15, (page 27).

Burner Adjustments
CAUTION:

• Adjustment must be made only by a qualified technician. Improper air adjustment may cause unsafe operation, explosion and/or fire asphyxiation.
• If the input to the furnace is too great because of excessive gas pressure, wrong size nozzle or orifice, high altitude, etc., the burner flame will be sooty and can produce carbon monoxide, which could result in unsafe operation, explosion and/or fire or asphyxiation.
  Burner settings are made at the factory. However, these settings may change during shipping, handling, and installation. The following items should be checked and readjusted if necessary.

Gas Pressure
The gas pressure can be checked with a manometer at the pressure tap located on the top of the gas valve. Natural gas manifold pressure should be 3.5” W.C. and L.P. gas manifold pressure should be 10” W.C. Replace the gas pressure tap plug on the gas valve. See Figure 27 (page 15).

OPERATING SEQUENCE

Direct Ignition Furnaces

1. On a call for heat, the thermostat contacts close, supplying 24 VAC between terminals C and W of the control module.

2. When the inducer starts, the air pressure switch closes at -0.30 W.C. differential pressure and energizes the gas valve.

3. After a 45 second purge, the ignitor is energized for a 30 second warm-up period. After warm up, the gas valve opens. NOTE: The time for ignition is approximately 6 seconds, after which the gas valve either remains open if flame is sensed, or closes if flame is not sensed.

4. If flame is not sensed, the sequence repeats four more times before a lockout occurs. To reset, wait 30 seconds and then interrupt the 24 VAC power by turning the room thermostat below room temperature, then returning it to the original set point.

5.  If flame does not establish on the 5th attempt (initial fire + 4 re-tries), the control de-energizes the gas valve, the red LED flashes 4 times, and the furnace locks out heat operation for 1 hour. See Table 7, (page 21).

6.  If a flame is present, the control energizes the main blower on heat speed 30 seconds after the gas valve opens.
   **WARNING:** Should overheating occur or the gas supply fails to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the furnace before shutting off the electrical supply.

7. When call for heat is satisfied the thermostat contacts open, the gas valve shuts off gas flow and the combustion blower remains on for a 30 second post-purge period.

8. The main blower is de-energized after a 120 second blower off delay.

TROUBLESHOOTING

High Gas Bills
a. Verify the proper orifice is being used. See Table 6, (page 16).
b. Check the return air system. Is it clear and free of blockage?
c. Check the furnace filter. Is it clean or need replacing?
d. Verify the home is insulated, windows and doors fit tightly, and there are no leaks in the heating duct system.
e. Check the room thermostat. Is the setting higher than necessary? Low humidity requires higher temperatures for the same level of comfort. Check for proper humidity level in the home.

  – No Main Gas Flow

• Gas valve may be defective. Replace if necessary.

• Gas piping may be plugged. Check for adequate gas supply to gas valve at union.

Burner Operates – Insufficient Heat

• Check thermostat for proper setting and location.
  Thermostat should not be located where it will be affected by another heat source.

• Check for clean filter and proper air flow.

• Check burner for proper gas firing rate.

• Be sure unit is not undersized for its thermal load.

• Check thermostat anticipator. The nominal setting is 0.4.

Burner Flame Without Motor Running

• Gas valve stuck open, check gas valve for proper operation (replace if necessary) and inspect heat exchanger.

• Check for 115 volts to the combustion blower motor; replace if necessary.

• If no power to combustion blower then check wiring and control module; replace if necessary.
  Circulation Air Blower Will Not Operate Even Though The Burner Does Operate

• Check thermostat G connection to the motor.

•  Check 115 Volts wiring to motor.

•  Check for a defective motor.

FURNACE CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS

Furnace On / Off Switch: This switch turns electrical power to the furnace on and off. The switch must be set in the ON position for the furnace to operate. If blower operation is not desired, the furnace On-Off switch may be set in the Off position to cut the electrical power to the furnace. See Figure 26 (page 15).
Limit Control: This furnace is protected by two high temperature safety limit switches. The auxiliary (upper) limit switch and the high temperature (lower) limit switch are automatic reset types. If either limit trips, the burner will shut off. If either limit switch trips off again soon after resetting, set the furnace furnace On-Off switch to the Off position and call your authorized serviceman. See Figure 26.
Blower Off Delay: When the blower fan operates under cooling mode, there is a 40 second delay after the call for cooling (from the thermostat) is satisfied before the blower turns off.
Gas Valve: The gas valves for the gas furnaces are a 100% shut-off type and will fail safe, if for some reason the gas is turned off. The valve is a “slow-open” for MG1 models which means it opens to a low-fire position, and after a few seconds, “steps-open” to high-fire. Summer Cooling : The unit is equipped to use a 4-wire thermostat. When using a 5-wire thermostat, RC and RH should be jumped (see instructions included with thermostat). NOTE: The MG1 furnace requires a Y connection to the furnace. See Figure 31 (page 25).

MAINTENANCE

Installer Information
All furnaces need periodic service at the beginning of each heating season. Call your qualified service contractor for these items:

• Remove the air circulator and clean all dust and lint from the unit with a stiff bristle brush.
• Inspect the combustion chamber blower compartment, flue collar and Roof Jack.
• Check the gas valve (if applicable) and fuel line connections for leaks.
• Make any adjustments necessary for good operation.

WARNING:
Use of furnace or air conditioning components that are not included in the certification of this appliance may create a hazard, invalidate the certification, and in many states, make installations illegal. Listed air conditioning components are specified on the furnace label.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Necessary when the furnace is used with packaged air conditioners
If an air conditioner is installed that does not use the furnace blower for air distribution and operates independently of the furnace, the thermostat system must have an interlock to prevent the furnace and air conditioner from operating at the same time. This interlock system usually contains either a “Heat-Cool” switch which must be turned to one of the positions to activate heat or cool operation, or a positive “OFF” switch on the cooling thermostat.
The furnace must also be equipped with an automatic damper to prevent cold air from being discharged up around the heat exchanger (p/n 901996 for furnaces without coil cavity, or p/n 901083 with coil cavity). See Figure 29 or
Figure 30. Cold air may cause condensation inside the heat exchanger which can rust and lead to early failure.
Optional Add-On Air Conditioning Whether split system or single package, an energysaving air conditioner is available that has been designed specifically for manufactured housing applications and can best handle your home comfort needs. Ask your dealer or contractor about add-on central air conditioning systems.
Single package unit includes cooling coils, compressor, and vertical discharge fan. This type of unit connects with the existing home air duct system (an optional close-off damper is required with the furnace).
Split system unit with vertical discharge for quiet operation connects with cooling coil furnace (optional coil cavity required with “A” model furnaces).![Literature MG1 Series Downflow Direct Vent Forced Air Gas Furnaces
