MODEL NUMBER NOMENCLATURE
INSTRUCTIONS
This guide uses your expertise and observations to lead you to the trouble
spot as efficiently as possible. This is only intended as a guide and should
not be used blindly. Your experience and expertise are of high value when
troubleshooting this unit. Do not disregard your instincts.
The furnace control was designed with diagnostic capabilities built in. An
AMBER LED is used to flash a status code which will lead you to one of the
sections as listed in the Index. You should ALWAYS begin in the START HERE
section (see Index for page number) which will guide you to the appropriate
section where a minimal number of steps will be used to correct the problem.
Once in a section, read the ACTION. An ACTION may have a number in the GO TO
column. Do whatever the ACTION says, then proceed to the step indicated in the
GO TO column.
If the ACTION is a question (a question will have a number in the YES or NO column), answer YES or NO. If the answer is YES, go to the step indicated in the YES column. If the answer is NO, go to the step indicated in the NO column. Let’s try our guide out using the EXAMPLE section below and see how it works. Suppose that the problem is a defective Limit Switch (for example the contacts will not re-close). This is an internal problem and cannot simply be seen. We go to the START HERE section to Step 1.
EXAMPLE
Start Here Section
STEP | ACTION | YES | NO | GO TO |
---|---|---|---|---|
1. | Step 1 tells us to remove main furnace door first and NOT TO REMOVE THE |
BLOWER ACCESS PANEL. It then asks the question, “Is AMBER LED status light
on?”. If the Limit switch was defective, a limit circuit lockout status code
would be flashing, so the answer is YES. We go to Step 2.| 2| 19|
2.| Step 2 asks the question, “Is the AMBER LED status light blinking rapidly
without a pause?”. If the limit switch was defective a limit circuit lockout
status code would be flashing, so the answer is NO. We go to Step 4.| 3| 4|
3.| Step 4 asks the question, “Is the AMBER LED status light blinking ON/OFF
slowly with a combination of short and long flashes?”. If the limit switch was
defective, a limit circuit lockout status code would be flashing, so the
answer is YES. We go to Step 5.| 5| 7|
4.| Step 5 tells us to determine the status code. The status code is a 2-digit
number with the first digit determined by the number of short flashes and the
second digit by the number of long flashes. We count the short and long
flashes and see that status code 13 is flashing and go to Step 6.| | | 6
5.| Step 6 tells us to go to status code 13 section| | | INDEX
GENERAL
- The furnace must have a 115-VAC power supply properly connected and grounded. Correct polarity must be maintained to enable gas heating operation.
- The gas service pressure must not exceed 0.5 psig (14-in. w.c.), and no less than 0.16 psig (4.5-in. w.c.).
- Thermostat wire connections to the furnace at R and W are the minimum required for gas heating operation. Y is required to be connected to the furnace for single-stage cooling and heat pumps. G is required for continuous fan. COM-24V is required for some thermostats. These connections must be made at the 24-VAC terminal block on the furnace control. (See Appendix A)
- Before operating the furnace, check each manual reset switch for continuity. If necessary, press and release the button to reset the switch.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Using the schematic diagram in Appendix A, follow the sequence of operation
through the different modes. Read and follow the wiring diagram very
carefully.
NOTE: If a power interruption occurs during a call for heat, the control
will start a 90-second blower-only ON period two seconds after power is
restored if the thermostat is still calling for gas heating. The LED light
will flash code 12 during the 90-second period, after which the LED will be ON
continuous, as long as no faults are detected. After the 90-second blower-on
period, the furnace will respond to the thermostat normally. The blower access
panel must be installed for power to be conducted through the blower door
interlock switch ILK to the furnace control CPU, transformer TRAN, inducer
motor IDM, blower motor BLWM, hot-surface igniter HSI, and gas valve GV.
- Heating Mode: The wall thermostat “calls for heat”, closing the R-W circuit. The furnace control performs a self-check, verifies the transducer reads no pressure present, and starts the inducer motor IDM ramp to prepurge pressure
- a. Inducer Prepurge Period: The furnace control CPU ramps up the inducer motor IDM to prepurge pressure then the furnace control CPU begins a 15-second prepurge period. If the transducer fails to reach target pressure the inducer motor IDM will remain running until target pressure is maintained.
- b. Igniter Warm-Up: At the end of the prepurge period, the Hot-Surface Igniter HSI is energized for a 17-second igniter warm-up period. Inducer maintains pressure during igniter warm-up.
- c. Trial for Ignition: When the igniter warm-up period is completed the main gas valve relay contact GVR closes to energize the gas valve solenoid GV. The gas valve solenoid GV permits gas flow to the burners where it is ignited by the HSI. Five seconds after the GVR closes, a 2-second flame proving period begins. The HSI igniter will remain energized until the flame is sensed or until the 2-second flame proving period begins.
- d. Flame Proving: When the burner flame is proved at the flame sensor electrode FSE, the inducer motor IDM will increase speed (after a short delay of 14 seconds on some models) to a higher RUN pressure. The control will maintain this pressure once reached, and the furnace control CPU will begin the blower-ON delay period while continuing to hold the gas valve GV open. If the burner flame is not proved within the 2-second flame proving period, the control CPU will open the gas valve relay GVR, de-energizing the gas valve solenoid GV. The control CPU will repeat the ignition sequence for up to three more Trials-For-Ignition before going to an Ignition-Lockout. Lockout will be reset automatically after three hours, or by momentarily interrupting 115-VAC power to the furnace, or by interrupting 24-VAC power at SEC1 or SEC2 to the furnace control CPU (not at W, G, R, etc.). If flame is proved when flame should not be present, the furnace control CPU will lock out of Heating mode and operate the inducer motor IDM until flame is no longer proved.
- e. Blower-On-Delay: If the burner flame is proven a 25-second blower-ON delay begins from when the gas valve GV is opened. The blower motor BLWM is turned ON at heat airflow. Simultaneously, the humidifier terminal HUM and electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 are energized and remain energized throughout the heating cycle.
- f. Blower-Off-Delay: When the thermostat is satisfied, the R to W circuit is opened, de-energizing the gas valve GV, stopping gas flow to the burners, and de-energizing the humidifier terminal HUM. The inducer motor IDM will remain energized for a 15-second post-purge period. The blower motor BLWM and air cleaner terminal EAC-1 will remain energized at heat airflow for 90, 120, 150, or 180 seconds (depending on selection at blower-OFF delay switches). The furnace control CPU is factory-set for a 120-second blower-OFF
- Cooling Mode: The thermostat closes the R-G and -Y circuit for cooling. The R-Y circuit starts the outdoor unit on cooling speed, and the R-G and -Y circuit starts the furnace blower motor BLWM at cooling airflow. Cooling airflow (Table 5) is based on the motor wire lead selection used on the COOL terminal. The electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 is energized with 115-VAC whenever the blower motor BLWM is operating. When the thermostat is satisfied, the R-G and -Y circuit is opened. The outdoor unit stops, and the furnace blower BLWM and electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 will remain energized for an additional 90 seconds. Remove J2 Jumper to reduce the cooling off-delay to 5 seconds.
- Continuous Blower Mode: When the R-G circuit is closed by the thermostat, the blower motor BLWM will operate at FAN tap. Terminal EAC-1 is energized as long as the blower motor BLWM is energized. During a call for heat, the furnace control CPU will transition the blower motor BLWM to FAN tap. The blower motor BLWM will remain ON until the main burners ignite then shut OFF and remain OFF for 25 seconds before coming back on at HEAT tap. The blower motor BLWM will revert to FAN tap after the heating cycle blower off-delay is completed. When the thermostat “calls for cooling”, the blower motor BLWM will switch to operate at COOL tap. When the thermostat is satisfied, the blower motor BLWM will operate an additional 90 seconds at cooling airflow before transitioning back to FAN tap. When the R-G circuit is opened, the blower motor BLWM will continue operating for an additional 5 seconds if no other function requires blower motor BLWM operation.
- Heat Pump: When installed with a heat pump, the furnace control automatically changes the timing sequence to avoid long blower off times during demand defrost cycles. Whenever the R-W circuit is closed along with the R-Y circuit, the furnace control CPU will transition to or bring on the blower motor BLWM at COOL tap. The blower motor BLWM will remain on until the main burners ignite then shut OFF and remain OFF for 25 seconds before coming back on at HEAT tap. When the R-W connection is opened, the furnace control begins a normal inducer post-purge period while changing the blower airflow. If R-Y circuit is still closed, the furnace control CPU will transition the blower motor BLWM airflow to COOL tap. If R-G circuit is open, the blower motor BLWM will remain on HEAT tap for the selected blower-OFF delay period. At the end of the blower-OFF delay, the blower motor BLWM will shut OFF unless R-G is circuit is closed, in which case the blower motor BLWM will operate at FAN tap.
- Component Test: The furnace features a component test feature to help diagnose a system problem in the case of a component failure. To initiate the component test sequence, shut OFF the room thermostat or disconnect the R thermostat lead. Briefly short the TEST/TWIN terminal to the C terminal. Status LED will flash most recent code 4 times and then turn ON the inducer motor. The inducer motor will run for the entire component test. The hot surface igniter, blower motor fan speed, blower motor-heat speed, and blower motor cool speed will be turned ON for 10-15 seconds each. Gas Valve and Humidifier will not be turned on.
NOTE: The component test feature will not operate if the control is receiving any thermostat signals or until all time delays have expired.
The component test sequence is as follows:
- Inducer relay ON 50% ULN80 for 15 sec., then proceed to Step 2. Inducer to remain ON throughout the test.
- HSI relay ON for 15 sec., then OFF.
- Blower motor FAN Speed for 10 sec., then OFF.
- Blower motor HEAT Speed for 10 sec., then OFF.
- Blower motor COOL Speed for 10 sec., then OFF.
- Inducer OFF, end of test
NOTE: The EAC terminals are energized when the blower is operating.

Tools Needed:
- Pilot Tube
- Incline Manometer/Magnahelic
Example 1:
Return ESP after Filter | 0.20-in. w.c. |
---|---|
Supply ESP before Coil | 0.40-in. w.c. |
Total ESP | 0.60-in. w.c. |
Example 2:
Return ESP before Filter | 0.10-in. w.c. |
---|---|
Filter Static Pressure Drop @ 2000 CFM | 0.10-in. w.c. |
Supply ESP after Coil | 0.20-in. w.c. |
Coil Static Pressure Drop Wet | 0.20-in. w.c. |
Total ESP | 0.60-in. w.c. |
Both Examples 1 and 2 are correct. Example 1 ESP readings were taken as laid out in static pressure reading location diagrams (Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8). Example 2 readings are taken as described. The coil and filter static pressure drops were taken from the manufacturer’s product data sheets with the assumption that 2000 CFM is being delivered.
QUICK REFERENCE INFORMATION
- Flame Sensor Microamperage****
Microamp Range:| 0.5 to 6.0 microamps
---|---
Typical Reading:| 4 to 6 microamps - Hot Surface Igniter Reading
The Silicon Nitride igniter in this furnace is not voltage sensitive and will work within the voltage range of 102 to 132-VAC. Hence, there is no voltage regulation circuits on the furnace control board. A new Silicon Nitride igniter has a normal resistance range of 40 to 70 ohms at room temperature and is relatively stable over the life of the igniter. The igniter resistance will increase with temperatures above room temperature. Ohm reading of HSI @ 70°F: 40 to 70 ohms (resistance will remain relatively stable over the life of the igniter).
