INTRODUCTION

This twinning kit permits connection of two multi-speed constant torque (MCT) ECM, fixed-speed constant torque (FCT) ECM, or PSC blower motor equipped furnaces controlled by a mechanical thermostat. An electronic User Interface cannot be used and is not approved for twinned furnaces. This furnace twinning kit permits two of the following furnaces of the same size to operate as a single unit on the same duct work. The furnaces must be installed with common supply and return plenums. For upflow installations, the common return plenum or platform must use some or all of the bottom return opening as shown in the DUCT CONNECTIONS section. This kit ensures both furnace blowers operate simultaneously so air flows through the duct work rather than recirculating in a loop between the furnaces.
Twinned single-stage furnaces can operate as a single unit or as staged units. With staged single-stage furnaces, the left-hand furnace is used for first- stage heat, and both furnaces are used for second-stage heat. A field-supplied two-stage thermostat is required for staged operation of single-stage furnaces. Staged heating operation of twinned furnaces is permitted only with this twinning kit.

Twinned two-stage furnaces can only operate as staged units. With the two- stage furnaces, low-heat in both furnaces is used for first-stage heat, and high-heat in both furnaces is used for second-stage heat. Two-stage furnaces can be configured to use a field-supplied single-stage thermostat and the furnace control staging algorithm or they can use a field-supplied two-stage thermostat to control the staging. Refer to the CONNECT ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS section for two-stage thermostat details. Two-Stage non-condensing furnaces cannot be twinned.

Cooling units used with twinned furnaces must be single-stage A/C unit(s). Heat pumps cannot be twinned with gas furnaces.
When installing twinned outdoor units with twinned gas furnaces, it is necessary to use a field-supplied 24-VAC pilot-duty relay and a field-supplied 24-VAC/115-VAC transformer as shown in the individual wiring diagrams to prevent overloading furnace 24-VAC/115-VAC transformer.

Some sizes are not available for all models shown.

DESCRIPTION AND USAGE

IMPORTANT: Only the furnace sizes listed in Table 2 or Table 3 can be twinned with this kit. Both furnaces must have the same product number, including heating and cooling sizes, to achieve correct operation. One furnace is the Main furnace and the other furnace is the Secondary furnace. The Main furnace controls the operation of the Secondary furnace. All control connections are made to the Main furnace and Main furnace wiring harness.

Twinned furnaces in these instructions are also referred to as the left-hand furnace (LH) and right hand furnace (RH) or back-to-back.
NOTE: To determine referencing of Left Hand (LH) and Right Hand (RH) furnace:

• In the Side-by-Side, upflow and downflow applications, reference the furnaces from the front, as you would see them in the upflow application. (See Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) The LH furnace is the Main furnace and the RH furnace is the Secondary furnace.
• In the Back-to-Back, upflow, downflow and horizontal applications, reference the furnaces from the side of the external extension harness. The LH furnace is the Main furnace and the RH furnace is the Secondary furnace, as you would see them in the upflow application. (See Fig. 1 and Fig. 3)

Kit contents are shown in Table 1.
Staged heating operation is permitted only with this twinning kit. With single-stage condensing furnaces, the left-hand furnace is used for first- stage heat, and both furnaces are used for second-stage heat. With the two- stage condensing furnaces, low-heat in both furnaces is used for first-stage heat, and high-heat in both furnaces is used for second-stage heat. This kit ensures both furnace blowers operate simultaneously so air flows through the duct work rather than recirculating in a loop between the furnaces.
NOTE: As a result of staged heating with single-stage furnaces, the air temperature distribution in the supply plenum may be uneven when only one furnace is heating.
NOTE: Refer to the Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions supplied with each furnace for information on venting, clearances, start-up, maintenance, and other information not covered in this publication.

WARNING

UNIT AND PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in unit and property damage. A non-condensing furnace shall NOT be twinned with a condensing furnace. Two- stage condensing or non-condensing furnaces shall not be twinned with any single-stage furnace. Do not twin furnaces that have a different number of blower motor speed taps together. Furnaces shall only be twinned in the positions shown. Variable-speed furnaces shall not be twinned.

DUCT CONNECTIONS – ALL MODELS

For all furnaces: All furnaces must have a common supply plenum attached to the furnaces or evaporator coils prior to any branch supply trunk or take-off. The height of the plenum should be at least as high (upflow/downflow) or as long (horizontal) as the width of one furnace. Supply air dampers, when used, should be installed in the branch ducts, not in the common plenum. Fire or smoke dampers, when required by code, may be installed in the common plenum. Refer to the damper manufacturer’s ratings installation instructions for proper application. The damper should not create undue restriction in the open position.
All furnaces must be installed to ensure sufficient return air to both furnaces:

For upflow furnaces: A combination of one full side of each and bottom inlet plenum or bottom only inlet plenum shall be used for return air to each furnace. The preferred method is to have all return air brought into the bottom of the furnaces through a common bottom plenum. The bottom return-air plenum shall be at least as high as the width of the furnace bottom return-air opening. For example, if two 17 1/2-in. (445 mm) wide furnaces are twinned together, the full height common return air plenum must be at least 17 1/2-in. (445 mm) tall. When there are height limitations, the bottom return-air plenum height can be reduced to 8-in. (203 mm) minimum if one entire side return-air opening of each furnace is used in conjunction with the bottom return opening. The rear of the furnace casing cannot be used for all or part of the return air connection. If rear return air connections are required, connect the return air duct to the rear of the return air plenum. Connect all return trunks or branch return ducts to common return plenum. ( See Fig. 2 )

For downflow and horizontal furnaces: All return air must be brought into the bottom opening of the furnace through a common return air plenum. The return- air plenum shall be at least as long (horizontal) or tall (downflow) as the width of the furnace return-air opening. Connect all return trunks or branch return ducts to common return plenum. ( See Fig. 3 )

NOTE: Throughout these instructions, when the furnace installed side-by- side, the left-hand (LH) side will be referred to as the LH furnace, and the furnace installed on the right-hand (RH) side as the RH furnace. When the furnaces are installed back-to-back, the left-hand (LH) side will be referred to as the LH furnace, and the furnace installed on the right-hand (RH) side as the RH furnace when viewed from the side with the extension harness installed.

NOTE: Upflow – Single Return
Return duct cannot obstruct access to either furnace
Return Air can enter through any combination of:

• Left side only
• Right side only
• Bottom only
• Back of platform when height of platform equals Dimension “A” as shown

NOTE : Upflow – Two Returns

• When furnaces are installed Back-to-Back (not shown) return duct MUST connect to the common return plenum and side inlet of BOTH furnaces
• Return duct cannot obstruct access to either furnace

NOTE: Downflow Application

• Do not connect return air to any side of the furnace
• Connect return air plenum as shown

NOTE : Horizontal Application

• Do not connect return air to any side of the furnace
• Do not stack condensing furnaces on top of each other
• Horizontal stacking only permitted with mid-efficiency furnaces.
• Back-to back installations, platform or suspended is approved for all models
• For back-to-back installations, Dimension “A” is measured across the front of one furnace, similar to upflow/downflow installations.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTION

CAUTION

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit and component damage.
Failure to follow this caution could result in unit and component damage. Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components. Take Precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will prevent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand tools which are held during the procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing the control to electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace, the control and the person at the same electrostatic potential.

1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY’S ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in a person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily discharged.
3. After touching the chassis you may proceed to service the control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing that recharges your body with static electricity (for example; DO NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT touch ungrounded objects, etc).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touching control or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container, discharge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to protect the control from damage. If the control is to be installed in a furnace, follow items 1 through 5 before bringing the control or yourself into contact with the furnace. Put all used AND new controls into containers before touching ungrounded objects.
7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources) may also be used to prevent ESD damage.

VAC Connections to Furnace

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death, or property damage.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position and install a lockout tag. There may be more than one disconnect switch. Check accessories and cooling unit for additional electrical supplies that must be shut off during furnace servicing. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable warning label. Verify proper operation after servicing.

Each furnace shall be connected to its own 115-VAC power supply. The twinning kit installation interconnects the furnaces, allowing them to operate as a single furnace. The L1 (black) connection to each furnace must be connected to circuit breakers connected to the same service panel 115-VAC phase leg.
NOTE: If the furnaces are not connected to the same phase leg of the electrical power supply, the furnaces will not operate properly.

• On single-phase (residential) systems, each furnace circuit breaker should be located directly across from each other in service panel, or each furnace circuit breaker should be located on the same side of service panel, but must skip one space to be connected to the same leg of the single-phase power supply.

• On 3-phase (commercial) systems, each furnace circuit breaker should be located directly across from each other in service panel, or each furnace circuit breaker should be located on the same side of service panel, but must skip two spaces to be connected to the same leg of the
  3- phase power supply.
  The proper 115-VAC phasing of furnace connections permits 24-VAC transformer phasing as described below.
  Phasing of the connected 24-VAC transformer secondary circuits can be determined with the LED status of both furnaces.
  See furnace Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions and status code labels on blower doors. The furnaces’ transformers’ black leads should be connected to PR1 connectors and white leads to L2 connectors on controls. If one or both LEDs are rapidly flashing, disconnect lead at TWIN/TEST terminal of LH furnace and observe LED at each furnace.
  To verify that the furnaces are in phase, check from Main furnace L1 to Secondary furnace L1 with a voltmeter. If the furnaces are in phase, the voltage between both furnaces will be ZERO.
  IF:

  • Both LEDs are on continuously: System phasing is okay.
  • One or both LEDs are rapidly flashing:
  • Line voltage polarity is reversed.
  • Furnace(s) are not grounded
  • Transformer polarity is reversed.
  • One LED is off, one LED is on continuously:
  • The 24-VAC circuit is inoperative on furnace with LED light off.
  • Check transformers, auxiliary limits, and door switches in both furnaces and correct problem.
  • Reconnect lead at TWIN/TEST terminal of LH furnace and  observe LED at each furnace. The LEDs will glow steady for proper phasing.

VENTING
Refer to Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions supplied with each furnace for venting information. Each furnace must always be individually vented. Do not common-vent or breach-vent condensing furnaces. For allowable vent installations refer to furnace installation instructions for allowable configurations and proper termination. It is important that vent terminations be made as shown to avoid recirculation of flue gases.

GAS SUPPLY PIPING
All gas connections must be made through exposed outer side of each furnace. Do not common connect any connection other than supply and return-air ducts. Furnaces are recommended to be provided with a single shutoff valve. However, individual shutoff valves may be required by local codes or jurisdictions. Refer to Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions provided with each furnace for additional gas supply information.

CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTIONS
For condensing furnaces, the condensate trap is factory installed in the furnace vestibule and factory connected for UPFLOW applications. Install condensate trap such that field drain connections are on the left side for LH (MAIN) furnace and on right side for RH (SECONDARY) furnace.
The condensate trap must be relocated for downflow and horizontal applications.
See furnace Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions for details on relocating the condensate and attaching field drain connections.

START-UP AND ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death, or property damage.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position and install a lockout tag. There may be more than one disconnect switch. Check accessories and cooling unit for additional electrical supplies that must be shut off during furnace servicing. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable warning label. Verify proper operation after servicing.

NOTE: Refer to Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions supplied with furnace for detailed information.

1. Shut off all power and gas to both furnaces.

2. For control boards with display and push-buttons, set the twinning menu item on the Secondary Furnace to SEC as shown on wiring label.
   NOTE: The secondary furnace blower will not run with cooling if this is not set correctly

3. Set the heating blower speed to the same setting or tap on both furnaces. Repeat for cooling and continuous fan speed settings.

4. Attach twinning connection wiring label above the existing furnace wiring label on the inside of the LH furnace blower door. Use the following labels for the following applications:

   • Single-Stage furnaces with single-stage thermostat, 347781-101
   • Single-Stage furnaces with two-stage thermostat, 347780-101
   • Two-Stage furnaces with single-stage or two-stage thermostat, 344964–101

5. Attach twinning reference label 347782-101 on the outside of blower access door of RH furnace.

6. Manually close the door switch on both furnaces.

7. Turn on power and gas to furnaces.

8. Using the appropriate section below, operate furnaces through two cycles in each mode to confirm correct operation by operating only the thermostat.

   • Single- or two-stage gas heating thermostat R to W/W1 for low-heat. Single-stage thermostat with adaptive heating mode causes furnace to operate in low-heat mode for up to 16 minutes, and then furnace automatically switches to high-heat. First stage of a two-stage thermostat without adaptive heating mode causes furnace to operate in low-heat mode indefinitely.
   • First and second-stage of two-stage heating thermostat R to W/W1 and W2 for high-heat.
   • Thermostat R to G for continuous fan or two-stage cooling low-cool blower. (See Table 6)
   • Cooling thermostat R to G and Y/Y2 for singlestage cooling blower or for two-stage cooling high-cool blower.

9. Reinstall doors on both furnaces.

10. Instruct user in operation of furnaces and thermostat.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

See condensing furnace twinning connection and schematic wiring diagrams while reviewing sequence of operation.
Twinning operation is controlled by LH or MAIN furnace. The TWIN/TEST connection wire ensures the two furnaces coordinate their blower operation. When either furnace requires blower operation, both furnace blowers operate at same speed. Both furnaces operate simultaneously in the same mode: heat, cool, or continuous fan. Exceptions can occur if a safety switch on either furnace is opened by a problem (such as pressure switch, flame roll-out switch, main limit switch, twinning kit auxiliary limit switch, or flame-proving sensor). In such a case, the other furnace continues to operate unless open switch is the flame roll-out, main limit, or twinning kit auxiliary limit switch, in which case both furnaces respond.
Before performing component test, disconnect TKR yellow wire labeled TEST from LH furnace control center TWIN/TEST terminal. After removing yellow wire, component test can be initiated on each furnace individually as stated in Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions.

SINGLE-STAGE HEAT, SINGLE-STAGE FURNACES WITH SINGLE-STAGE THERMOSTAT

1. Operation in all modes (sequence of operation) is the same for twinned furnaces as for an individual furnace. See furnace Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions for more information on the sequence of operation.

TWO-STAGE HEAT, SINGLE-STAGE FURNACES WITH TWO-STAGE THERMOSTAT

1. The two-stage thermostat determines if furnaces are operating in first-stage heat (LH furnace operates in heat while RH furnace blower operates but RH furnace is not heating) or if furnaces are operating in second-stage heat (both furnaces operate in heat), depending on how many thermostat stages are calling for heat. If two-stage cooling is used, Y1 from the thermostat will initiate both furnace blowers to the cooling speed and the first A/C unit. Y2 from the thermostat will go directly to the outdoor unit and initiate the second A/C unit.
2. Operation in all modes (sequence of operation) is the same for twinned furnaces as for an individual furnace. See furnace Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions for more information on sequence of operation.

TWO-STAGE HEAT, TWO-STAGE FURNACES WITH SINGLE-STAGE THERMOSTAT
NOTE: See Electrical Connections for control board wiring and LHT switch setup). (See Fig. 24)

1. LH furnace control determines whether furnaces are both operating in low-heat or high-heat, depending on the control’s adaptive gas heating mode when the R-to-W/W1 circuit is closed in LH furnace.
2. Operation in all modes (sequence of operation) is the same for twinned furnaces as for an individual furnace. See furnace Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions for more information on sequence of operation.

TWO-STAGE HEAT, TWO-STAGE FURNACES WITH TWO-STAGE GAS-HEAT THERMOSTAT
NOTE: See Electrical Connections for control board wiring and LHT switch setup.

1. The two-stage thermostat (NOT the furnace control’s adaptive gas heating mode) determines whether furnaces are both operating in low-heat or high-heat, depending on whether one or both thermostat stages (W/W1 or W/W1 and W2) are calling for heat.
2. Operation in all modes (sequence of operation) is the same for twinned furnaces as for an individual furnace. See furnace Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions for more information on sequence of operation.
