Electrical
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Exercise extreme caution when working on any electrical components. Shut off
all power to system prior to troubleshooting. Some troubleshooting techniques
require power to remain on. In these instances, exercise extreme caution to
avoid danger of electrical shock. ONLY TRAINED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD
PERFORM ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING.
Aluminum Wire
CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in
equipment damage or improper operation. Aluminum wire may be used in the
branch circuit (such as the circuit between the main and unit disconnect), but
only copper wire may be used between the unit disconnect and the unit.
Whenever aluminum wire is used in branch circuit wiring with this unit, adhere to the following recommendations. Connections must be made in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), using connectors approved for aluminum wire. The connectors must be UL approved (marked Al/Cu with the UL symbol) for the application and wire size. The wire size selected must have a current capacity not less than that of the copper wire specified, and must not create a voltage drop between service panel and unit in excess of 2% of unit rated voltage. To prepare wire before installing connector, all aluminum wire must be “brush-scratched” and coated with a corrosion inhibitor such as Pentrox A. When it is suspected that connection will be exposed to moisture, it is very important to cover entire connection completely to prevent an electrochemical action that will cause connection to fail very quickly. Do not reduce effective size of wire, such as cutting off strands so that wire will fit a connector. Proper size connectors should be used. Check all factory and field electrical connections for tightness. This should also be done after unit has reached operating temperatures, especially if aluminum conductors are used.
Single Stage Gas Heat
Start-up Heating and Make Adjustments Complete the required procedures given
in the Pre-Start-Up section before starting the unit. Do not jumper any safety
devices when operating the unit. Make sure that burner orifices are properly
aligned. Unstable operation my occur when the burner orifices in the manifold
are misaligned. Follow the lighting instructions on the heating section
operation label (located on the inside of the control access panel) to start
the heating section.
NOTE : Make sure that gas supply has been purged, and that all gas piping
has been checked for leaks.
Check Heating Control Ultra Low NOx
Start and check the unit for proper heating control operation as follows (see
furnace lighting instructions located on the inside of the control access
panel):
- 1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in the HEAT position and the fan switch is placed in AUTO position.
2. Set the heating temperature control of the thermostat above room temperature.
3. On a call for heating, the inducer motor will start up for a 30 second pre-purge.
4. The control will then check to see the pressure switch closed. Then the main burner should light within 5 sec. of the spark being energized. If the burners do not light, there is a 22-sec. delay before another 5-sec. try. If the burners still do not light, this sequence is repeated. If the burners do not light on the 4th ignition attempt, there is a lockout. To reset the control, break the 24-v power to W.
NOTE : The ULN system will sound different from a traditional furnace that utilizes inshot burners. For the ULN system, the access door is part of the system and must be installed on the unit for any sound evaluations.
5. The evaporator fan will turn on 30 sec. after the flame has been established. The evaporator fan will turn off 90 sec. after the thermostat has been satisfied. Please note that the integrated gas unit controller (IGC) has the capability to automatically reduce the evaporator “ON” delay and increase the evaporator “OFF” delay in the event of high duct static and/or partially- clogged filter.
Check Gas Input
Check gas input and manifold pressure after unit start-up (See Table 3). If
adjustment is required proceed as follows:
- The rated gas inputs shown in Table 3 are for altitudes from sea level to 2000 ft (610 m) above sea level. These inputs are based on natural gas with a heating value of 1025 Btu/ft3 at 0.60 specific gravity.
NOTE : Ultra Low NOx is only available in natural gas only.
IN THE U.S.A.: For installations below 2,000 ft (610 m), refer to the unit rating plate.
Table 1 – Altitude Derate Multiplier for U.S.A.
*Altitude ft (m)** | Percent of Derate | Derate Multiplier Factor † |
---|
0-2000
(0-610)
| 0| 1.00
- When the gas supply being used has a different heating value or specific gravity, refer to national and local codes, or contact your distributor to determine the required orifice size.
CAUTION: UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced unit and/or component life. Do Not redrill an orifice. Improper drilling (burrs, out-of-round holes, etc.) can cause excessive burner noise and misdirection of burner flame. If orifice hole appears damaged or it is suspected to have been redrilled, check orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of correct size.
Adjust Gas Input
The gas input to the unit is determined by measuring the gas flow at the meter
or by measuring the manifold pressure. Measuring the gas flow at the meter is
recommended for natural gas units. Measure Gas Flow (Natural Gas Units) Minor
adjustment to the gas flow can be made by changing the manifold pressure. The
manifold pressure must be maintained between 3.2 and 3.8 IN. W.C.
If larger adjustments are required, change main burner orifices following the
recommendations of national and local codes.
NOTE : All other appliances that use the same meter must be turned off
when gas flow is measured at the meter.
Proceed as follows:
- Turn off gas supply to unit.
- Manifold pressure connections
- For Ultra Low NOx units with standard gas valve, remove manifold pressure tap cover using an allen wrench. (See Fig. 5.) Install barbed pressure tap and hose to connect to manometer. Turn on gas supply to unit.
- For gas valve with tower pressure ports, loosen set screw on manifold tower pressure tap no more than one full turn counter-clockwise with a 3/32-in. hex wrench. (see Fig. 6.) Connect manometer by sliding 5/16-in connecting hose over the manifold tower pressure port. Turn on gas supply to unit.
- Record number of seconds for gas meter test dial to make one revolution.
- Divide number of seconds in Step 3 into 3600 (number of seconds in one hr).
- Multiply result of Step 4 by the number of cubic feet (cu ft) shown for one revolution of test dial to obtain cubic feet (cu ft) of gas flow per hour.
- Multiply result of Step 5 by Btu heating value of gas to obtain total measured input in Btuh. Compare this value with heating input shown in Table 3 (Consult the local gas supplier if the heating value of gas is not known).
EXAMPLE : Assume that the size of test dial is 2 cu ft, one revolution takes 88 sec, and the heating value of the gas is 1050 Btu/ft3. Proceed as follows:
- 88 sec. to complete one revolution.
- 3600 ÷ 88= 40.9.
- 40.9 x 2 = 81.8 ft3 of gas flow/hr.
- 81.8 x 1050 = 85,900 Btuh input.
If the desired gas input is 89,000 Btuh, manifold pressure must be increased.
Observe manifold pressure and proceed as follows to adjust gas input:
-
Remove regulator cover screw over plastic adjustment screw on gas valve (See Fig. 5 and Fig. 6).
-
Turn plastic adjustment screw clockwise to increase gas input, or turn plastic adjustment screw counterclockwise to decrease input (See Fig. 5 and Fig. 6). Manifold pressure must be between 3.2 and 3.8 IN. WC.
NOTE : Manifold pressure must be checked with the access door on. -
Replace regulator cover screw on gas valve (See Fig. 5 and Fig. 6).
-
Turn off gas supply to unit.
-
Remove manometer from pressure tap
-
For Ultra Low NOx units with standard gas valve, remove manometer hose and barbed pressure tap. Replace pressure tap cover using allen wrench (See Fig. 3.)
-
For gas valve with tower pressure port, remove connecting hose. Tighten set screw clockwise on manifold pressure port using a 3/32-in hex wrench. (See Fig. 6.)
-
Turn on gas to unit and check for leaks.

NOTE : For installations below 2,000 ft (610 m), refer to the unit rating plate for proper propane conversion kit. For installations above 2,000 ft (610 m), contact your distributor for proper propane conversion kit.
Check Burner Flame
Refer to the Maintenance section for information on burner removal. The burner
flame on Ultra Low NOx models can’t be checked. Ultra Low NOx models are not
allowed to be converted to propane.
Normal Operation
An LED (light-emitting diode) indicator is provided on the integrated gas unit
controller (IGC) to monitor operation. The IGC is located by removing the
control access panel (see Fig. 17). During normal operation, the LED is
continuously on (See Table 7 for error codes).
Heating Sequence for -10, -12, -62, and -77 Ignition Boards (prior August
2022) (Refer toTable 6 for inducer speed operation and voltage)
On a call for heating, terminal W of the thermostat is energized, starting
the induced-draft motor for a 30 second pre-purge at low inducer speed. When
the pressure switch senses that the induced-draft motor is moving sufficient
combustion air, the burner sequence begins. This function is controlled by the
integrated gas unit controller (IGC). After 30 sec of pre-purge is complete,
the pressure switch checks for sufficient combustion. Then, the gas valve
energizes and the system attempts to ignite with igniter being energized. The
igniter energizes for 5 sec and integrated gas controller (IGC) allows system
to sense flame for 2 sec at the end of 5 sec of ignition trial. On first
successful ignition, system stays at the low inducer speed for 10 sec and
ramps up to an intermediate speed for approximately 10 sec and gradually ramps
up to the high inducer speed for steady-state operation. The system uses the
same logic for 2nd ignition trial. Please note there may be a slight rumble
for a short period when lighting off on low inducer speed. This is not a cause
for concern. If a 3rd or 4th ignition attempt is needed, the inducer speed is
increased to the intermediate speed. In case the 4th attempt fails, the system
will lock out for 1 hr. After 1 hr. lock out period, the system starts with
normal operating sequence. Once flame is established and proven successfully,
indoor (evaporator) fan motor is energized after 30 seconds. When the
thermostat is satisfied and W is de energized, the pre-mix burner will stop
firing and the indoor (evaporator) fan motor shuts off after a 90 second time-
off delay. Please note that the IGC has the capability to automatically
decrease the indoor (evaporator) fan motor “ON” delay and increase the indoor
(evaporator) fan motor “OFF” delay in the event of high duct static and/or
partially-clogged filter. If the time between heating calls is 5 minutes or
less, subsequent ignitions will be conducted with the inducer on the
intermediate inducer speed. If the time between heating calls is 5 minutes or
more, the first two ignition attempts will be on the low inducer speed, while
the 3rd and 4th attempts (if needed) would be on the intermediate inducer
speed. When the thermostat is satisfied and W is de-energized, the pre-mix
burner will stop firing and the indoor (evaporator) fan motor shuts off after
a 90 second time-off delay. Please note that the IGC has the capability to
automatically decrease the indoor (evaporator) fan motor “ON” delay and
increase the indoor (evaporator) fan motor “OFF” delay in the event of high
duct static and/or partially-clogged filter.
Heating Sequence for -15, -16, -65, and -66 Ignition Boards (August 2022
and later) (Refer to Table 5 for inducer speed operation and voltage.)
Heating Sequence for -15,-16,-65, and -66 Ignition Boards On a call for
heating, terminal W of the thermostat is energized, starting the induced-draft
motor for a 30 second pre-purge at intermediate speed. When the pressure
switch senses that the induced-draft motor is moving sufficient combustion
air, the burner sequence begins. This function is controlled by the integrated
gas unit controller (IGC). After 30 sec of pre-purge is complete, the pressure
switch checks for sufficient combustion. Then, the gas valve energizes and the
system attempts to ignite with igniter being energized. The igniter energizes
for 5 sec and integrated gas controller (IGC) allows system to sense flame for
2 sec at the end of 5 sec of ignition trial. On first successful ignition,
system stays at the intermediate inducer speed for 10 sec and gradually ramps
up to the high speed for steady-state operation. The system uses the same
logic for 2nd ignition trial. If a 3rd or 4th ignition attempt is needed, the
inducer speed is decreased to the low speed. On a successful light on the 3rd
or 4th attempt, the inducer speed is increased to the intermediate speed for
about 10 seconds and then gradually ramps up to the high speed for steady-
state operation. Please note there may be a slight rumble for a short period
when lighting off on low inducer speed. This is not a cause for concern. In
case the 4th attempt fails, the system will lock out for 1 hr. After 1 hr.
lock out period, the system starts with normal operating sequence. Once flame
is established and proven successfully, indoor (evaporator) fan motor is
energized after 30 seconds. When the thermostat is satisfied and W is de-
energized, the pre-mix burner will stop firing and the indoor (evaporator) fan
motor shuts off after a 90 second time-off delay. Please note that the IGC has
the capability to automatically decrease the indoor (evaporator) fan motor
“ON” delay and increase the indoor (evaporator) fan motor “OFF” delay in the
event of high duct static and/or partially-clogged filter.
Limit Switches
Normally closed limit switch (LS) completes the control circuit. Should the
leaving-air temperature rise above the maximum allowable temperature, the
limit switch opens and the control circuit “breaks.” Any interruption in the
control circuit instantly closes the gas valve and stops gas flow to the
burners. The blower motor continues to run until LS resets. When the air
temperature at the limit switch drops to the low temperature setting of the
limit switch, the switch closes and completes the control circuit. The direct-
spark ignition system cycles and the unit returns to normal heating operation.

The Burner Thermal Switch (BTS) is used on ULN units and is located on the top
of the burner box. This switch functions the same as a rollout switch on
traditional inshot butner systems with the same Fault Code (7 flashes) on the
IGC board.
Gas Heating Fan Speed Set-up (Single Phase Models and Ultra Low NOx 3 Phase):
To change the gas heating speed:
- Remove existing speed tap wire from the “HEAT” terminal on the IGC.
- Connect the desired speed tap wire on the “HEAT” terminal on the IGC board. Make sure that the speed chosen delivers temperature rise within the rise range listed on the unit.
Induced Draft (combustion air) Blower Assembly
The induced-draft blower assembly consists of the inducer motor, the blower
housing, and the induced-draft blower wheel. Range of inducer pressure tap
pressures for operations points is shown in Table 8. To check pressures,
insert “T” connector between inducer pressure tap and pressure switch. (See
Fig. 7.) Connect manometer to remaining end of “T” using enough hose to route
outside of the unit. Install access panel and start unit up.
NOTE : When measuring cold inducer pressure tap readings prior to ignition, it is important that the unit is completely cooled down before measurement. Heat assembly temperatures must be within 2°F of local ambient temperature. Any residual heat left will affect the measurement. The steady state readings may be taken as soon as 10 minutes after ignition to allow the system to warm up. Clean the inducer wheel periodically to assure proper airflow and heating efficiency. Inspect blower wheel every fall before the heating season.
To inspect blower wheel:
- Shut off power to the unit and close the manual shut off valve on the gas supply line to the unit.
- Remove 2 screws holding the flue hood (Fig. 8) and remove the flue hood.
- Remove flue baffle using a 5/16-in. ratchet to remove the 2 screws, being careful not to drop the 2 screws into the inducer housing.
- Wearing gloves, inspect the inducer wheel blades for cleanliness by slowly spinning the wheel down using a screwdriver and observing with a flashlight. If debris is evident on the blades, take a small vacuum hose to the blades. Once you have cleaned 40 blades, the process is complete.
- Re-connect the flue baffle using the 2 screws and 5/16-in. ratchet, being careful not to drop the screws into the housing.
- Re-connect flue hood (Fig. 8) using the 2 screws removed.
- Turn power back onto unit and open gas supply shutoff valve.
