ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS PROCEDURE

CAUTION

FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit 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. Multiple disconnects may be required. 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 the 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 to recharge 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 (and recharge your body with static electricity), firmly touch a clean, unpainted metal surface of the 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 4 before bringing the control or yourself in 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.

WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING / COMPONENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death and unit component damage.
Corrosive or contaminated air may cause failure of parts containing flue gas, which could leak into the living space. Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide. These elements can corrode heat exchangers and shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air fresheners, and other household products. Do not install furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Make sure all combustion and circulating air requirements are met, in addition to all local codes and ordinances.
The following types of furnace installations may require OUTDOOR
AIR for combustion due to chemical exposures:

  • Commercial buildings
  • Buildings with indoor pools
  • Laundry rooms
  • Hobby or craft rooms
  • Chemical storage areas

If air is exposed to the following substances, it should not be used for combustion air, and outdoor air may be required for combustion:

  •  Permanent wave solutions
  • Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
  • Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
  • Water softening chemicals
  • De-icing salts or chemicals
  • Carbon tetrachloride
  • Halogen type refrigerants
  • Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
  • Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
  • Hydrochloric acid
  • Cements and glues
  • Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
  • Masonry acid washing materials

All fuel-burning equipment must be supplied with air for fuel combustion. Sufficient air must be provided to avoid negative pressure in the equipment room or space. A positive seal must be made between the furnace cabinet and the return-air duct to prevent pulling air from the burner area.
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD

Improper use or installation of this furnace may result in premature furnace component failure. Unless otherwise prohibited, this gas furnace may be used for heating buildings under construction provided that:

  • The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed according to these installation instructions. A return air duct is provided, sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated outside the space containing the furnace. This prevents a negative pressure condition as created by the circulating air blower, causing a flame rollout and/or drawing combustion products into the structure.
  •  The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be “hot wired” to provide heat continuously to the structure without thermostatic control.
  • Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and other construction materials. It also prevents the entrainment of drywall dust into combustion air, which can cause fouling and plugging of furnace components.
  • The temperature of the return air to the furnace is maintained between 55°F (13°C) and 80°F (27°C), with no evening setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace while the structure is under construction is deemed to be intermittent operation per our installation instructions.
  • The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on the furnace rating plate, and the gas input rate has been set to the nameplate value.
  • The filters used to clean the circulating air during the construction process must be either changed or thoroughly cleaned prior to occupancy.
  • The furnace, ductwork and filters are cleaned as necessary to remove drywall dust and construction debris from all HVAC system components after construction is completed.
  • Verify proper furnace operating conditions including ignition, gas input rate, air temperature rise, and venting according to these installation instructions.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
Introduction
Direct Vent (2-pipe) Applications
When the furnace is installed as a direct vent (2-pipe) furnace, no special provisions for air for combustion are required. However, other gas appliances installed in the space with the furnace may require outside air for combustion. Follow the guidelines below to ensure that other gas appliances have sufficient air for combustion.
Ventilated Combustion Air Applications (for U.S. Only)
When the furnace is installed using the ventilated combustion air option, the attic or crawlspace must freely communicate with the outdoor to provide sufficient air for combustion. The combustion air pipe cannot be terminated in attics or crawlspaces that use ventilation fans designed to operate during the heating season. If ventilation fans are present in these areas, the combustion air pipe must terminate outdoors as a Direct Vent/ 2-Pipe system.
All air for combustion is piped directly to the furnace from a space that is well ventilated with outdoor air (such as an attic, crawl space, or equipment closet) and the space is well isolated from the living space or garage. In addition, other gas appliances installed in the space with the furnace may require outside air for combustion. Follow the guidelines below to ensure that the roof or crawlspace walls have sufficient free area to provide sufficient air for combustion and ventilation for the furnaces. The guidelines below can be used to ensure that other gas appliances have sufficient air for combustion. Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air must be provided in accordance with:

  • U.S.A. Installations: Section 9.3 of the current edition of NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Air for Combustion and Ventilation and applicable provisions of the local building codes.

CAUTION
FURNACE CORROSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace damage. Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide.

NOTICE
The field-supplied, accessory horizontal drain trap grommet is ONLY REQUIRED FOR DIRECT VENT APPLICATIONS. It it NOT required for applications using ventilated combustion air venting.
NOTICE
The condensate trap extends below the side of the casing in the horizontal position. A minimum of 2-in. (51 mm) of clearance is required between the casing side and the furnace platform for the trap to extend out of the casing in the horizontal position. Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down.
CAUTION
FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD
Failure to protect against the risk of freezing may result in property damage. Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an area which may drop below freezing. This can cause improper operation or damage to equipment. If furnace environment has the potential of freezing the drain trap and drain line must be protected. The use of accessory drain trap heaters, electric heat tape and/or TRV antifreeze is required for these installations.

CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTION

CAUTION
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in burst water pipes and/or property damage.
If a condensate pump is installed, a plugged condensate drain or a failed pump may cause the furnace to shut down. Do not leave the home unattended during freezing weather without turning off water supply and draining water pipes or otherwise protecting against the risk of frozen pipes.
DO NOT trap the drain line in any other location than at the condensate drain trap supplied with the furnace. If possible, DO NOT route the drain line where it may freeze. The drain line must terminate at an inside drain to prevent freezing of the condensate and possible property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an area which may drop below 32° F (0° C). This can cause improper operation or damage to the equipment. If the furnace environment has the potential of freezing, the drain trap and drain line must be protected. In areas where the temperature may be below 32° F (0° C), a Condensate Freeze Protection kit is strongly recommended. Refer to the Accessory section of the Product Data for current kit number. If the Condensate Freeze Protection kit is not used, the factory- installed condensate trap must be adequately covered using a self-regulating, shielded and waterproof heat tape rated at 3 to 6 watt per foot (10 to 20 watt per meter) at 115 volt, 40°F (4°C). Failure to effectively secure the heat tape to the trap and sufficiently cover the trap with heat tape may result in freezing and cracking of the trap, causing a leak that results in property damage.
In applications with potential for freezing, the above specified heat tape must also adequately cover/wrap the remaining condensate drain line to provide freeze protection. Wrap the drain trap and drain line with the heat tape and secure with appropriate plastic ties. Follow the heat tape manufacturer’s recommendations. Prime the trap before furnace operation.
The condensate drain line must be supported and/or secured per local codes. Supports and clamps should be spaced to prevent the drain line from sagging or being dislocated from the furnace or termination point. In the absence of local codes, consult the current edition of the National Standard Plumbing Code, in the U.S. or the current edition National Plumbing Code of Canada in Canada.

Upflow/Downflow Orientation

In the Upflow or Downflow orientation, the condensate trap is inside the furnace casing. The condensate drain must be routed from the trap through the furnace casing. The condensate drain can be routed through the left or right side of the casing. (The left or
right side is as you are viewing/facing the furnace from the front.) An indoor coil condensate drain or humidifier drain can be connected to the external furnace condensate drain provided:

  • The drains are not hard piped together, and
  • There is an air gap at the point where the two drain lines meet or
  • All condensate piping is at least 3/4-in. PVC and there is a relief tee at the top of condensate drain piping as shown in Fig. 11.

NOTE: On narrower casings, it may be easier to remove the condensate trap, connect the drain line components and re-install the condensate trap. Read the steps thoroughly to familiarize yourself with the required steps.

For Right Side Condensate Drain:

  1. Remove the 7/8-in. knockout or plug from the right side of the casing. See Fig. 14 for suggested knockout or plug removal technique.

  2.  Remove the pre-formed rubber drain elbow and two spring clamps from the loose parts bag.

  3.  Slide a spring clamp 1-in. (25 mm) down the plain end (the end without the formed grommet) of the drain elbow.

  4. From inside the casing, insert the formed grommet end of the elbow through the 7/8-in. hole in the casing.

  5. Pull the grommet through the casing from the outside until it is seated in the hole.

  6.  Attach the plain end of the drain elbow to the outlet stub on the drain trap. Secure the drain elbow to the trap with the spring clamp.

    CAUTION CUT HAZARD
    Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
    Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. Use care and wear appropriate protective clothing, safety glasses and gloves when handling parts, and servicing furnaces.
    The remaining drain line can be constructed from field supplied 1/2-in. CPVC or 3/4-in. PVC pipe, in compliance with local building codes. A factory- supplied 1/2-in. CPVC to 3/4-in. PVC adapter is supplied in the loose parts bag for use as required.

  7. Install the adapter or connect the 1/2-in. CPVC pipe by sliding a spring clamp over the open end of the grommet on the outside the furnace casing.

  8. Open the spring clamp and insert the long end of the adapter or the 1/2-in. CPVC pipe into the outlet stub on the drain tube.

  9. Connect additional condensate piping to a code-approved drain, or to a condensate pump approved for use with acidic furnace condensate and compatible with mineral and vegetable oils, such as canola oil.

Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down and away from the furnace in horizontal sections of drain line. TIP FROM CONTRACTORS: Contractors have found that temporarily removing the inducer assembly in upflow applications while performing the steps, below, makes upflow left-side drain connections easier.

For Left Side Condensate Drain Connection:

  1. For left side condensate drainage, the drain line is routed from the condensate trap, behind the inducer (upflow) or gas valve (downflow) and out through the left side of the furnace casing. A pre-formed 1/2-in. CPVC “Z-pipe” is provided with the furnace.
    The Z-pipe is long enough to extend across the casing for drain connections.

  2. Locate the Z-pipe. Remove the pre-formed drain elbow and four spring clamps from the loose parts bag.

  3.  The Z-pipe is connected to the condensate trap and the outside of the furnace by modifying the formed rubber drain elbow as shown in Fig. 16.

  4.  Remove the formed grommet from the rubber drain elbow by cutting the elbow along the vertical line located about 1-3/8 in. (35 mm) away from the formed grommet, see Fig. 16. DO NOT DISCARD THE FORMED GROMMET OR THE RUBBER ELBOW. Both of these pieces will be used.

Location Relative to Cooling Equipment
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with, or on the downstream side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat exchangers. When installed parallel with the furnace, dampers or other flow control must prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the dampers are manually operated, they must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in the full-heat or full-cool position.

FILTER ARRANGEMENT

WARNING
FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE AND POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury or death.
Never operate a furnace without a filter or filtration device installed.
Never operate a furnace with filter or filtration device access doors removed.
Filter and Return Duct Sizing
There are no provisions for an internal filter in these furnaces. An external filter rack is required and is purchased separately. A field supplied accessory air cleaner may also be used in place of the filter rack.
Pressure drop must be taken into account when sizing filters, filter racks, IAQ devices, and associated system ductwork. See Table 7 for a comparison of Pressure Drop (initial/clean resistance to airflow) versus Airflow for a variety of filter media types and sizes. These are representative numbers. Consult the filter or IAQ device manufacturers’ specification sheet for performance data for a particular filter media or IAQ device.
The furnace may use an optional media filter cabinet. The optional media filter cabinet uses either a standard 1-inch (25 mm) filter or 4-inch (102 mm) wide media filter which can be purchased separately.
The optional media cabinet is sized for bottom return applications for use in upflow, downflow and horizontal applications.
For upflow side return applications, the optional media cabinet (or field supplied accessory air cleaner) can be installed on the side of the furnace or side and bottom when a bottom plenum is used.
For downflow applications, the optional media cabinet (or field supplied accessory air cleaner) must only be connected to the bottom opening on the furnace, see Fig. 21 and Fig. 26.
For horizontal applications, the optional media cabinet (or field supplied accessory air cleaner) for all models can be connected to the bottom opening on the furnace. For side return use in the horizontal position, refer to Fig. 22. If both side and bottom openings are used in Fig. 22, each opening used will require a filter.
A filter rack or any filed supplied accessory air cleaner can also be installed in the common return duct prior to entering the return air opening in any orientation.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the Filter Rack or accessory air filter for assembly and other details.
Due to the relatively high pressure drops of 1-in (25 mm) thick after-market filter media, it is recommended that the filtration system be designed for at least 2-in (51 mm) thick media. TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS: Install a media cabinet capable of incorporating a 4-in (102 mm) thick media filter. This allows room for future upgrades to other IAQ devices.

*. Recommended to maintain air filter face velocity. See Product Data for part number.

Refer to the instructions supplied with optional media cabinet or accessory air filter for assembly and other details. See Table 7 for filter size details.
Design the filter and associated ductwork for the best match of pressure drop versus filter size. Best practice usually chooses filter systems with pressure drops under 0.2 in. w.c. (50 Pa), with the best blower electrical efficiency and system airflow performance occurring with filter pressure drops under 0.1 in. w.c. (25 Pa).

NOTICE

Design the duct system FIRST to determine how much pressure drop may be allowed in the filter system. See the Air Ducts section.
Excessive filter pressure drop often compromises system airflow and duct performance, causes inadequate airflow to the furthest ends of the duct system, as well as causes excess noise and higher than anticipated electrical consumption.
NOTE: Provide duct transitions, as required, to smoothly transition airflow from the return duct system to the filter (or IAQ device) to the furnace when the dimensions of the ductwork or furnace return air opening do not match the required filter or IAQ device dimensions. See the instructions supplied with factory-accessory duct adapters.

Installation

Platform Furnace Support

Construct working platform at location where all required furnace clearances are met, see Table 2 and Fig. 27. For furnaces with 1-in. (25 mm) clearance requirement on side, set furnace on non-combustible blocks, bricks or angle iron. For crawlspace installations, if the furnace is not suspended from the floor joists, the ground underneath furnace must be level and the furnace set on blocks or bricks.
Suspended Furnace Support
The furnace must be supported under the entire length of the furnace with threaded rod and angle iron, see Fig. 28. Secure angle iron to bottom of furnace as shown.
Roll-Out Protection
Provide a minimum 12-in. x 22-in. (305 x 559 mm) piece of sheet metal for flame roll-out protection in front of burner area for furnaces closer than 12-in. (305 mm) above the combustible deck or suspended furnaces closer than 12-in. (305 mm) to joists. The sheet metal MUST extend underneath the furnace casing by 1-in. (25 mm) with the door removed. The bottom closure panel on furnaces of widths 17-1/2-in. (445 mm) and larger may be used for flame roll- out protection when bottom of furnace is used for return air connection. See Fig. 27 for proper orientation of roll-out shield.

AIR DUCTS

NOTICE
Many states, provinces and localities are considering or have implemented standards and/or restrictions on duct sizing practices, ductwork leakage, and/or ductwork thermal, airflow and electrical efficiencies. CONSULT LOCAL CODE OFFICIALS for ductwork
design and performance requirements in your area.

General Requirements
The duct system should be designed and sized according to accepted national standards such as those published by: Air Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA Manual D), Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) or American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) or consult The Air Systems Design Guidelines reference tables available from your local distributor. The duct system should be sized to handle the required system design CFM at the design external static pressure. The furnace airflow rates are provided in Table 16-Air Delivery-CFM (with filter). When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air shall also be handled by duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
Secure ductwork with proper fasteners for type of ductwork used. Seal supply- and return-duct connections to furnace with code approved tape or duct sealer.
NOTE: Flexible connections should be used between ductwork and furnace to prevent transmission of vibration.
Ductwork passing through unconditioned space should be insulated to enhance system performance. When air conditioning is used, a vapor barrier is recommended.
Maintain a 1-in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible materials to supply air ductwork for a distance of 36-in. (914 mm) horizontally from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or local code for further requirements.
Return Duct Sizing
Refer to the Filter Selection and Duct Sizing section for information on the proper selection of filter sizes and the associated ductwork and duct transitions. Improperly designed filtering systems and return ductwork are the most common causes of airflow and/or noise complaints in HVAC systems.
Ductwork Acoustical Treatment
NOTE: Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow and 10 ft. (3 M) of main duct to the first branch take-off may require internal acoustical lining. As an alternative, fibrous ductwork may be used if constructed and installed in accordance with the latest edition of SMACNA construction standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both acoustical lining and fibrous ductwork shall comply with NFPA 90B as tested by UL Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.
NOTE : For horizontal applications, the top most flange may be bent past 90?to allow the evaporator coil to hang on the flange temporarily while the remaining attachment and sealing of the coil are performed.

WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
– Seal any unused openings in venting system.
– Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies, which could cause an unsafe condition.
– As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building.
– Close fireplace dampers.
– Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
– Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance is operating continuously.
– Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
– If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
– After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.
General
If this furnace replaces a furnace that was connected to a vent system or chimney, the vent or vent connectors of other remaining appliances may need to be re-sized. Vent systems or vent connectors of other appliances must be sized to the minimum size as determined using appropriate table found in the current edition of National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z-223.1. In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA-B149.1.
An abandoned masonry chimney may be used as a raceway for properly insulated and supported combustion-air (when applicable) and vent pipes. Each furnace must have its own set of combustion-air and vent pipes and be terminated individually, as shown in Fig. 39 for Direct Vent (2-Pipe) system or Fig. 40 for ventilated combustion air option. A furnace shall not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.
Other gas appliances with their own venting system may also use the abandoned chimney as a raceway providing it is permitted by local code, the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code and the vent or liner manufacturer’s installation instructions. Care must be taken to prevent the exhaust gases from one appliance from contaminating the combustion air of other gas appliances.
Do not take combustion air from inside the chimney when using ventilated combustion air or single pipe vent option.
These furnaces can be vented as either direct vent (two-pipe) or as ventilated combustion air system. Each type of venting system is*described below. Common venting between these furnaces or other appliances is prohibited.
Materials
U.S.A.
Combustion air and vent pipe, fittings, primers, and solvents must conform to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. See
Table 11 for approved materials for use in the U.S.A. This furnace is also CSA approved for venting with M&G DuraVentRPolyProR or Centrotherm InnoflueR polypropylene venting systems – straight pipe and fittings (elbows, reducers, increasers, connectors, adapters) only.
Canada
Special Venting Requirements for Installations in Canada Installation in Canada must conform to the requirements of CAN/CSA B149 code.
Vent systems must be composed of pipe, fittings, cements, and primers listed to ULC S636. M&G DuraVentRPolyProR or Centrotherm InnoflueR polypropylene venting systems are ULC S636 listed.
NOTE: When using polypropylene venting systems, all venting materials used, including the vent terminations must be from the same manufacturer. Venting Systems
Direct Vent / 2-Pipe System
In a direct vent (2-pipe) system, all air for combustion is taken directly from outdoor atmosphere, and all flue products are discharged to outdoor atmosphere. Combustion-air and vent pipes must terminate together in the same atmospheric pressure zone, either through the roof (preferred) or a sidewall. See Fig. 42 for references to clearances required by National code authorities.
NOTICE
OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION FOR COMBUSTION AIR INLET PIPE
In applications where there is a risk of excessive moisture entering the combustion air inlet pipe, a moisture trap may be added to the inlet pipe to help prevent moisture from entering the furnace from the combustion air inlet pipe, see Fig. 44.
When sizing venting systems, the equivalent length of the optional inlet pipe moisture trap must be taken into account.
Ventilated Combustion Air Systems
In a ventilated combustion air option, the vent terminates and discharges the flue products directly to the outdoors similar to a direct vent system.
See Fig. 43 for references to clearances required by National code authorities.
All air for combustion is piped directly to the furnace from a space that is well ventilated with outdoor air (such as an attic or crawl space) and the space is well isolated from the living space or garage. Combustion air requirements for this option are the same as the requirements for providing outside air for combustion for a single pipe vent system. Refer to the “Air For Combustion and Ventilation” Section.
NOTICE
OPTIONAL VENTING BELOW THE FURNACE

The venting system may be positioned below the furnace ONLY IF the factory accessory External Vent Trap Kit is used. The External Vent Trap Kit is only approved for PVC/ABS DWV venting systems.

NOTE: The vent for this appliance must not terminate over public walkways; or near soffit vents or crawl space vents or other areas where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or cause property damage; or where condensate vapor could cause damage or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.
Locating the Vent Termination General
NOTE: Termination Requirements for the Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan are located at the end of this section.
Combustion-air inlet pipe (direct vent/2-pipe system only) and vent pipe must terminate outside structure, either through sidewall or roof. Special termination requirements may be required in other Canadian provinces. Refer to the authority having jurisdiction for clarification and/or additional clearance requirements.
For vent termination clearance, references to National codes are shown in Fig. 42 for Direct Vent/2-Pipe system and Fig. 43 for Ventilated Combustion Air system. For exterior termination arrangements, refer to Fig. 39 for Direct Vent/2-Pipe system and Fig. 40 for Ventilated Combustion Air system. Contact Local code authorities for other requirements to and/or exemptions from the National codes shown in the figures.
Roof termination is the recommended termination location. Roof terminations provide better performance against sustained prevailing winds. The roof location is preferred since the vent and combustion air system is less susceptible to damage or  ontamination. The termination is usually located away from adjacent structures or other obstacles such as inside corners, windows, doors or other appliances. It is less prone to icing conditions, and it often has less visible vent vapors.
Sidewall terminations may require sealing or shielding of building surfaces with a corrosive resistance material due to the corrosive properties of combustion products from the vent system, as well as protection of adjacent structures.
NOTICE
RECOMMENDED SUPPORT FOR VENT TERMINATIONS
It is recommended that sidewall vent terminations in excess of 24 inches (0.6 M) or rooftop terminations in excess of 36 inches (1 M) in vertical length be supported by EITHER the Direct Vent Termination Kit shown in Table 10 or by field-supplied brackets or supports fastened to the structure.
When determining appropriate location for termination, consider the following guidelines:

  1. Comply with all clearance requirements stated in Fig. 42 or Fig. 43 per application.
  2. Termination or termination kit should be positioned where vent vapors will not damage plants/shrubs, air conditioning equipment or utility meters.
  3. Do not locate termination directly into prevailing winds. Termination should be positioned so that it will not be affected by sustained prevailing winds over 30 mph, wind eddy, such as inside building corners, or by recirculation of flue gases, airborne leaves, or light snow.
  4. Termination or termination kit should be positioned where it will not be damaged by or subjected to foreign objects such as stones, balls, etc.
  5. Termination or termination kit should be positioned where vent vapors are not objectionable.

Direct Vent / 2-Pipe System
Direct vent (2-pipe) vent and combustion air pipes must terminate outside the structure. See Fig. 42 for references to vent clearances required by National Code Authorities. Allowable vent and combustion air terminations are shown in Fig. 39.

Ventilated Combustion Air
The vent pipe for a Ventilated Combustion Air System must terminate outdoors. See Fig. 43 for references to vent clearances required by National code authorities. Allowable vent terminations are shown in Fig. 40. The combustion air pipe terminates in a well-ventilated attic or crawl space. Follow the clearances as shown in Fig. 45.
The combustion air pipe cannot terminate in attics or crawl spaces that use ventilation fans designed to operate in the heating season. If ventilation fans are present in these areas, the combustion air pipe must terminate outdoors as a Direct Vent System.
Termination Requirements for the Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan
The Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan require a minimum unobstructed distance of 4 ft. (1.2 M) from the foundation to the property line of the adjacent lot for vent termination of any appliance with an input over 35,000 BTUh. If there is less than 4 ft. (1.2 M) of unobstructed distance to the property line of the adjacent lot, no type of vent termination is permitted for appliances with inputs greater than 35,000 BTUh.
There are no additional restrictions on unobstructed distances greater than 8 ft. (2.4 M). All single, two-pipe and concentric vents may be used, providing all other Code and manufacturer’s requirements in these instructions are adhered to. Refer to the appropriate Vent Termination section above for locating the vent termination The concentric vent kit currently cannot be modified to attach an elbow to the vent portion of the rain cap. A tee attached to the rain cap could potentially direct the flue gas plume toward the intake air stream and contaminate the incoming combustion air for the furnace. Refer to Fig. 48 for terminations approved for use in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
If the unobstructed distance from the foundation to the property line of the adjacent lot is no less than 4 ft. (1.2 M) and no greater than 8 ft. (2.4 M), it will be necessary to re-direct the flue gas plume. In this situation, a concentric vent kit cannot be used. A 2-pipe termination (or single pipe termination when permitted with ventilated combustion air applications) that re-directs the flue gas away by use of an elbow or tee, certified to ULC S636 from the adjacent property line must be used, see Fig. 48.

WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the instructions outlined below for each appliance being placed into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
For all venting configurations for this appliance and other gas appliances placed into operation for this structure, provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air must be provided in accordance with:
U.S.A. Installations: Current edition of Section 9.3 NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Air for Combustion and Ventilation and applicable provisions of the local building codes.
Canadian Installations: Current edition of Part 8 of CAN/CSA-B149.1. Venting Systems and Air Supply for Appliances and all authorities having jurisdiction.
Size the Vent and Combustion Air Pipes
Furnace combustion air and vent pipe connections are sized for 2-in. (50 mm ND) PVC/ABS DWV pipe. The combustion air and vent pipe connections also accommodate 60 mm polypropylene venting systems with outside diameters of approximately 60 mm (2-3/8 inches). Any pipe diameter change should be made outside furnace casing in vertical pipe.
Any change in diameter to the pipe must be made as close to the furnace as reasonably possible, see Fig. 47.
The Maximum Vent Length for the vent and combustion air pipe (when used) is determined from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length in Table 12 minus the number of fittings multiplied by the deduction for each type of fitting used from Table 13.

Recommended Combustion Air Inlet Moisture Trap
NOTICE
OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION FOR COMBUSTION AIR INLET PIPE
In applications where there is a risk of excessive moisture entering the combustion air inlet pipe, a moisture trap may be added to the inlet pipe to help prevent moisture from entering the furnace from the combustion air inlet pipe, see Fig. 50.
When sizing venting systems, the equivalent length of the optional moisture trap (15 feet/5 M) must be taken into account.
To prevent moisture from trickling into the furnace vestibule, a trap can be installed in the intake air pipe near the furnace. To prevent moisture, connecting a drain line to the trap is recommended as trace amounts of moisture will evaporate into the intake air stream. If the combustion air inlet is located near a moisture exhaust duct, or there are other concerns of excessive moisture being drawn into the combustion air inlet, it is encouraged to connect a drain line to the trap.
The trap can be constructed from a running tee of the same diameter of the intake air pipe with EITHER a removable cap attached to a 6-inch long pipe connected to the tee or the External Vent Trap Kit to help prevent contaminants from entering the furnace, see Fig. 50. The External Vent Trap Kit accessory may be used as a trap for the combustion air inlet pipe if a large amount of moisture must be removed.
The drain line may be connected to the same drain as the furnace condensate and the evaporator coil condensate line ONLY if the inlet air trap drain and the evaporator coil drain empty into an open segment of pipe above the drain, see Fig. 11. When using the External Vent Trap Kit, refer to those instructions for proper drain connections. The tee may also be connected to the intake air pipe on the side of the casing, see Fig. 50.
In any configuration, it will be necessary to add the equivalent length of the tee (15 feet/5 M) to the Total Equivalent Vent Length of the venting system.
NOTICE
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR POLYPROPYLENE VENTING SYSTEMS
Polypropylene venting systems include flexible vent pipe. These flexible vent pipes have a different equivalent vent length than straight sections of PVC/ABS DWV vent pipe. Be sure to make the appropriate deductions from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL), or additions to the Total Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL), when applying flexible vent pipes in polypropylene venting systems. See the polypropylene vent system manufacturer’s installation instructions for details.
When using metric-sized venting systems, use these equivalencies for obtaining the proper MEVL from the Tables:
Use 2” Vent Tables for 60 mm (o.d.) vent systems
Use 3” Vent Tables for 80 mm (o.d.) vent systems
Use 4” Vent Tables for 100 mm (o.d.) vent systems
The measured length of pipe used in a single or 2-pipe termination is included in the total vent length. Include deductions from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL) contained in the Venting Tables for elbows and flexible vent pipe. Factory accessory concentric vent terminations or pipe lengths and elbows used for “standard” vent terminations do not require a deduction from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length, see vent termination figures associated with Table 12.
Include a deduction for a Tee when used for Alberta and Saskatchewan terminations.
NOTE: Polypropylene venting systems MAY require additional deductions from the MEVL, or additions to the TEVL, for vent terminations and flexible pipe sections. See the polypropylene venting system manufacturer’s instructions for details on equivalent lengths of vent terminations and flexible vent pipes, and for calculating total vent lengths.
To calculate the Total Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL) of the venting system:

  1. Measure the individual distance from the furnace to the termination for each pipe.
  2. Count the number of elbows for each pipe.
  3. For each pipe, multiply the number of elbows by the equivalent length for the type of elbow used. Record the equivalent length of all the elbows for each pipe.
  4. If a Tee is used on the termination (Alberta and Saskatchewan, when required) record the equivalent length of the Tee used.
  5. Calculate Total Equivalent Vent Length by adding the equivalent lengths of the fittings to the lengths of the individual vent and  combustion air pipes.
  6. When using polypropylene venting systems with flexible vent pipes, perform adjustments for the equivalent length of the flexible vent pipe to the calculated total equivalent venting system length. See the polypropylene vent system manufacturer’s instructions for details.
  7. Select a diameter of vent pipe from Table 12 and note the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL) shown for that application for that specific furnace input size. Compare the Total Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL) to the MEVL:
  8. If the Total Equivalent Vent Length is shorter than the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length for the diameter of pipe chosen, then that diameter of pipe selected may be used.
  9. If the Total Vent Length is longer than the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length for the diameter of pipe chosen, that diameter pipe MAY NOT be used for venting the furnace. Try the next larger diameter pipe.
    NOTE: If the calculated Total Equivalent Vent Lengths results in different diameter pipes for the vent and combustion air, select the larger diameter for both pipes.
    NOTE: If the Maximum Vent Length for diameter of the pipe selected is longer than the measured length and the equivalent length of all the fittings and terminations (TEVL), recalculate Total Equivalent Vent Length using the next smaller diameter. If the Maximum Equivalent

Vent Length is still longer than the longer TEVL of the vent pipe or combustion air pipe, then that diameter of pipe selected may be used. When installing vent systems pipe lengths of 10 ft. (3 M) or less, use the smallest allowable pipe diameter. Using a pipe size greater than required for short venting systems may result in loss of efficiency, incomplete combustion, flame disturbance, or flame sense lockout.
For vent systems longer than 10 ft. (3 M), any larger diameter vent pipe shown in Table 12 FOR THAT SIZE FURNACE may be used.

NOTE: Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL) includes standard and concentric vent termination and does NOT include elbows. Use Table 12 Deductions from Maximum Equivalent Vent Length to determine allowable vent length for each application. Table 12 – Maximum Equivalent Vent Length – Ft.

NOTES:

  1. Use only the smallest diameter pipe possible for venting. Over-sizing may cause flame disturbance or excessive vent terminal icing or freeze-up.
  2. NA – Not allowed. Pressure switch will not close, or flame disturbance may result.
  3. Vent sizing for Canadian installations over 4500 ft. (1370 M) above sea level are subject to acceptance by the local authorities having jurisdiction.
  4. Size both the combustion air and vent pipe independently, then use the larger size for both pipes.
  5. Assume the two 45 elbows equal one 90 elbow. Wide radius elbows are desirable and may be required in some cases.
  6. Elbow and pipe sections within the furnace casing and at the vent termination should not be included in vent length or elbow count.
  7. The minimum pipe length is 5 ft. (2 M) linear feet (meters) for all applications.
  8. Use 3-in. (76 mm) diameter vent termination kit for installations requiring 4-in. (102 mm) diameter pipe.
  9. A running Tee in the Combustion Air Pipe adds 0 ft. to the TEVL of the vent length.

Combustion Air and Vent Piping Insulation Guidelines
NOTE: Use closed cell, neoprene insulation or equivalent.
The vent pipe may pass through unconditioned areas. The amount of exposed pipe allowed is shown in Table 14.

  1. Using winter design temperature (used in load calculations), find appropriate temperature for your application and furnace model.
  2. Determine the amount of total and exposed vent pipe.
  3. Determine required insulation thickness for exposed pipe length(s).
  4. When combustion air inlet piping is installed above a suspended ceiling, the pipe MUST be insulated with moisture resistant insulation such as Armaflex or other equivalent type of insulation.
  5. Insulate combustion air inlet piping when run in warm, humid spaces.
  6. Install the insulation per the insulation manufacturer’s installation instructions.
    NOTE: Pipe length (ft. / M) specified for maximum pipe lengths located in unconditioned spaces cannot exceed total allowable pipe length as calculated from Table 12.

Configure the Furnace
CAUTION
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
To route the vent pipe and combustion air pipe through the furnace, the manufacturer supplied kit must be used. Failure to properly seal the blower compartment from the furnace vestibule could result in the circulation of carbon monoxide throughout the structure. The vent pipe and combustion air pipe must be a continuous pipe while passing through the blower compartment. Seals supplied in this kit must be installed per the instructions provided. Follow all procedures outlined in these instructions.
Near Furnace Vent Connections
Offsets in the vertical portion of the vent pipe should be made with 45 deg. elbows instead of 90 deg. elbows. Short horizontal runs of vent pipe are difficult to pitch correctly and may trap water in the vent pipe, see
Fig. 51. Trapped water in the vent pipe may result in nuisance pressure switch tripping.
Install the Vent and Combustion Air Pipes
With the furnace installed in the required position, remove the desired knockouts or plugs from the casing, see Fig. 14. It will be necessary to remove one knockout or plug for the vent pipe and the other knockout or plug for the combustion air connection, see Fig. 53 through Fig. 56.
The vent elbow can be rotated to the required location on the casing if necessary, see Fig. 52. To rotate the vent elbow:

  1. Loosen the clamp on the inlet of the vent elbow attached to the inducer.
  2. Rotate the vent elbow to the required position. There are rounded notches in the vent elbow to align it with the inducer housing for each orientation.
  3. Tighten the clamp around the vent elbow. Torque the clamp to 15 lb-in, see Fig. 51-Fig. 56.Carrier 59MN7C-01SI Modulating High Efficiency Condensing Gas Furnace - AirCarrier 59MN7C-01SI Modulating High Efficiency Condensing Gas Furnace - Air 1

NOTICE
The following instructions are for PVC/ABS DWV vent piping only.
DO NOT USE THESE TECHNIQUES FOR POLYPROPYLENE VENT PIPING SYSTEMS. See the polypropylene vent system manufacturer’s instructions for installing polypropylene venting systems.
Install the remaining vent and combustion air pipes as shown below. It is recommended that all pipes be cut, prepared, and preassembled before permanently cementing any joint.

  1. Working from furnace to outside, cut pipe to required length(s).

  2. De-burr inside and outside of pipe.

  3. Chamfer outside edge of pipe for better distribution of primer and cement.

  4. Clean and dry all surfaces to be joined.

  5. Check dry fit of pipe and mark insertion depth on pipe.

  6. Insert the vent pipe into the vent elbow.

  7. Torque clamp on vent elbow 15 lb-in.

  8. Torque clamp on vent coupling 15 lb-in.

  9. Insert the combustion air pipe into the adapter.

  10. Pilot drill a screw hole through the adapter into the combustion air pipe and secure the pipe to the adapter with sheet metal screws. DO NOT DRILL INTO POLYPROPYLENE VENT PIPES. Use an optional accessory vent coupling, if needed.

  11. Seal around the combustion air pipe with silicone or foil tape. SILICONE SEALERS MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR POLYPROPYLENE VENT SYSTEMS. SEE POLYPROPYLENE VENT SYSTEM MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

  12. After pipes have been cut and preassembled, apply generous layer of cement primer to pipe fitting socket and end of pipe to insertion mark. Quickly apply approved cement to end of pipe and fitting socket (over primer). Apply cement in a light, uniform coat on inside of socket to prevent buildup of excess cement. Apply second coat. DO NOT CEMENT POLYPROPYLENE FITTINGS.

  13. While cement is still wet, twist pipe into socket with 1/4-in. turn. Be sure pipe is fully inserted into fitting socket.

  14. Wipe excess cement from joint. A continuous bead of cement will be visible around perimeter of a properly made joint.

  15. Handle pipe joints carefully until cement sets.

  16. Horizontal portions of the venting system shall be supported to prevent sagging. Space combustion air piping and vent piping hangars as shown in Table 15. Support pipes using perforated metal hanging strap or commercially available hangars or straps designed to support plastic pipe.

  17. Slope the vent and combustion air piping downward towards furnace. A minimum slope of at least 1/4-in. (6 mm) per linear ft.(1-in (25 mm) per 4 ft.(1.2 M)) with no sags between hangers is required. See Caution Box below.
    CAUTION
    FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
    Failure to follow this caution may result in nuisance short cycling, frozen vent termination, and/or no heat.
    Slope the vent and combustion air piping downward towards furnace a minimum of 1/4-in. (6 mm) per linear ft. of pipe.

  18. Complete the vent and combustion air pipe installation by connecting the concentric vent or by installing the required termination elbows as shown in Fig. 39, Fig. 42 and Fig. 51.
    For Ventilated Combustion Air Termination, See Fig. 40.

  19. Use appropriate methods to seal openings where combustion air pipe and vent pipe pass through roof or sidewall.

Venting System Length Calculations
The Total Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL) for EACH combustion air or vent pipe equals the length of the venting system, plus the equivalent length of elbows used in the venting system from Table 13.
Standard vent terminations or factory accessory concentric vent terminations count for zero deduction.
See vent system manufacturer’s data for equivalent lengths of flexible vent pipe or other termination systems. DO NOT ASSUME that one foot of flexible vent pipe equals one foot of straight PVC/ABS DWV vent pipe.
Compare the Total Equivalent Vent Length to the Maximum Equivalent Vent Lengths in Table 12.
Example 1
A direct-vent 60,000 BTUh furnace installed at 2100 ft. (640M). Venting system includes FOR EACH PIPE: 70 feet (22 M) of vent pipe, 65 feet (20 M) of combustion air inlet pipe, (3) 90º long-radius elbows, (2) 45º long-radius elbows, and a factory accessory concentric vent kit. Can this application use 2” (50 mm ND) PVC/ABS DWV vent piping?

Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL)| | | | | 95 ft. (29 M)| For 2” pipe from Table 12
Is TEVL less than MEVL?| | | | | YES| Therefore, 2” pipe MAY be used

Example 2
A direct-vent 60,000 BTUh furnace installed at 2100 ft. (640M). Venting system includes FOR EACH PIPE:
100 feet (30 M) of vent pipe, 95 feet (29 M) of combustion air inlet pipe, (3) 90º long-radius elbows, and a polypropylene concentric vent kit. Also includes 20 feet (6.1 M) of flexible polypropylene vent pipe, included within the 100 feet (30 M) of vent pipe.
VERIFY FROM POLYPROPYLENE VENT MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS for the multiplier correction for flexible vent pipe.
Can this application use 60mm o.d. (2”) polypropylene vent piping? If not, what size piping can be used?

Measure the required linear length of RIGID air inlet and vent pipe; insert the longest of the two here: 100 ft. Of rigid pipe – 20 ft. Of flexible pipe| =| 80 ft. (24 M)| Use length of the longer of the vent or air inlet piping system
---|---|---|---
Add equiv length of (3) 90º long-radius elbows (use the highest number of elbows for either the vent or inlet pipe)| 3| x| 5 ft. (1.5 M)| =| 15 ft. (4.6 M)| Example from polypropylene vent manufacturer’s instructions, Verify from vent manufacturer’s instructions.

These furnaces are equipped with a manual reset limit switch in burner assembly. This switch opens and shuts off power to the gas valve if an overheat condition (flame rollout) occurs in the burner assembly/enclosure. Correct inadequate combustion-air supply,
improper gas pressure setting, improper burner or gas orifice positioning, or improper venting condition before resetting switch. DO NOT jumper this switch. Prime Condensate Trap with Water
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow these warnings could result in personal injury or death.
Failure to use a properly configured trap or NOT water-priming trap before operating furnace may allow positive pressure vent gases to enter the structure through drain tube. Vent gases contain carbon monoxide which is tasteless and odorless.
CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit operation or performance satisfaction.
Condensate trap must be PRIMED or proper draining may not occur.
The condensate trap has two internal chambers which can ONLY be primed by pouring water into the inducer drain side of condensate trap.

  1. Remove upper and middle collector box drain plugs opposite of the condensate trap. See Fig. 61.Carrier 59MN7C-01SI Modulating High Efficiency Condensing Gas Furnace - Priming
  2. Connect field-supplied 5/8-in. (16 mm) ID tube with attached funnel to upper collector box drain connection, see Fig. 61.

Adjustments
CAUTION
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution could result in reduced furnace life.
DO NOT push or force gas valve adjusting screw. This can result in damage to the adjustment screw resulting in incorrect manifold pressure, which can result in a no heat situation or shorten the life of the heat exchangers.
CAUTION
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace life.
DO NOT redrill orifices. Improper drilling (burrs, out-of-round holes, etc.) can cause excessive burner noise and misdirection of burner flames. This can result in flame impingement of heat exchangers, causing failures, see Fig. 62.

Carrier 59MN7C-01SI Modulating High Efficiency Condensing Gas Furnace -
Priming 1For proper operation and long term reliability, the Furnace input rate must be within +/-2 percent of input rate on furnace rating plate or as adjusted for altitude.
The gas input rate on rating plate is for installations at altitudes up to 2000 ft. (609.6M).
NOTICE
The NATURAL GAS manifold pressure adjustments in Table 22 and Table 23 compensate for BOTH altitude AND gas heating value. DO NOT apply an additional derate factor to the pressures show in Table 22 or Table 23. The values in this table are NOT referenced to sea level; they are AS-MEASURED AT ALTITUDE.
The heating content of natural gas at altitude may already provide for a reduction in capacity of the furnace. Be sure to obtain the expected in-season gas heating value of the gas from the gas supplier BEFORE making any adjustments for capacity or altitude. Refer to Table 22 or Table 23. No adjustments to the furnace may be necessary at altitude for certain gas heating values.
Refer to the instructions provided in the factory-specified LP/Propane conversion kit for instructions for setting gas manifold pressures for LP/Propane applications.
In the USA, the input rating for altitudes above 2000 ft. (609.6M) must be reduced by 2 percent for each 1000 ft. (304.8M) above sea level.
Refer to Table 20.
In Canada, the input rating must be reduced by 5 percent for altitudes of 2000 ft. (609.6M) to 4500 ft. (1371.6M) above sea level. The natural gas manifold pressures in Tables 18 and 19 adjust for BOTH altitude and natural gas heating value.

*Derate multiplier factors are based on midpoint altitude for altitude range.
NOTE: For Canadian altitudes of 2000 to 4500 ft. (610 to 1372 M), use USA altitudes of 2001 to 2000 ft. (611 to 914 M) in Table 20.
To adjust manifold pressure to obtain the proper input rate, first, determine if the furnace has the correct orifice installed. At higher altitudes or different gas heat contents, it may be necessary to change the factory orifice to a different orifice. Tables have been provided in the furnace installation instructions to match the required orifice to the manifold pressure to the heat content and specific gravity of the gas.
NOTICE
THERE ARE TWO MANIFOLD PRESSURE TABLES
Use Table 18 for all models EXCEPT 59MN7C060C21–20
Use Table 19 for all models 59MN7C060C21–20 ONLY
To do this:

  1. Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed altitude) from local gas supplier.
  2. Obtain average yearly specific gravity from local gas supplier.
  3. Find installation altitude range for your installation in the manifold pressure tables. See Table 22 for 20,000 BTUh Max-Heat/8,000 BTUh min-heat per burner or Table 23 for 20,200 BTUh Max-Heat/8,000 BTUh Min-Heat per burner.
  4. Find closest natural gas heat value and specific gravity in Table 22 or Table 23 depending on furnace gas input rate.
  5. Follow heat value and specific gravity lines to point of intersection to find orifice size and maximum and minimum manifold pressure settings for proper operation.
  6. Check and verify burner orifice size in furnace. NEVER ASSUME ORIFICE SIZE. ALWAYS CHECK AND VERIFY.7. Replace original orifice with correct size, if required by Table 22 or Table 23 depending on furnace gas input rate. Use only factory-supplied orifices, see EXAMPLE 1.
    NOTICE
    If orifice hole appears damaged or it is suspected to have been redrilled, check orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of correct size. Never redrill an orifice. A burr-free and squarely aligned orifice hole is essential for proper flame characteristics.
    EXAMPLE 1 – 80,000 BTUh INPUT:
    EXAMPLE: 0 – 2000 ft. (0 – 609.6M) altitude
    Heating value = 1050 Btu/cu ft.
    Specific gravity = 0.62
    Therefore: Orifice No. 44
  • Furnace is shipped with No. 44 orifices. In this example, all main burner orifices are the correct size and do not need to be changed to obtain proper input rate. Manifold pressure: 3.4-in. w.c. for maximum heat, 0.55-in. w.c. for minimum heat.
    NOTE: To convert gas manifold Table pressures to Pascals, multiply the in. w.c. value by 249.1 Pa/in. w.c. (1 in. w.c. = 249.1 Pa).
    Check Inlet Gas Pressure
    The inlet gas pressure must be checked with the furnace operating in maximum heat. This is necessary to make sure the inlet gas pressure does not fall below the minimum pressure of 4.5 in. w.c. for natural gas.
    The maximum inlet gas pressure is 13.6 in. of water column. If the inlet pressure is too low, you will not be able to adjust the manifold pressure to obtain the proper input rate. To check the inlet gas pressure:

    1. Make sure the gas supply is turned off to the furnace and at the electric switch on the gas valve.

    2. Loosen set screw on inlet tower pressure tap no more than one full turn with a 3/32-in. hex wrench or remove the 1/8 in. NPT plug from the inlet pressure tap on the gas valve.

    3. Connect a manometer to the inlet pressure tap on gas valve.

    4. Turn on furnace power supply.

    5. Turn gas supply manual shutoff valve to ON position.

    6. Turn furnace gas valve switch to ON position.

    7. Jumper the R to W/W1 and W2 thermostat connections at the furnace control board.

    8. When main burners ignite, confirm inlet gas pressure is Between 4.5 in. w.c. and 13.6 in. w.c.

    9. Remove jumper across thermostat connections to terminate call for heat. Wait until the blower off delay is completed.

    10. Turn furnace gas valve electric switch to OFF position.

    11. Turn gas supply manual shutoff valve to OFF position.

Adjust Manifold Pressure – Maximum Heat
For proper operation and long term reliability, the manifold pressure must be adjusted within +/-2 percent of input rate on furnace rating plate. The modulating furnace manifold pressure is set at two points. The first point is Maximum Heat. The second point is Minimum Heat. Do not adjust Intermediate Heat manifold pressure. Intermediate Heat manifold pressure is checked as part of the temperature rise, but is not adjustable. Always adjust Maximum Heat first, then Minimum Heat.
NOTICE
DO NOT set Maximum Heat manifold pressure less than 3.2-in. w.c. or more than 3.8 in. w.c. for natural gas. If required manifold pressure is outside this range, change main burner orifices to obtain manifold pressure in this range.
To adjust manifold pressure to obtain input rate for Maximum Heat:

  1. Make sure the gas supply is turned off to the furnace and at the electric switch on the gas valve.
  2. Loosen set screw on manifold tower pressure tap no more than one full turn with a 3/32-in. hex wrench, or remove the 1/8 in. NPT plug from the manifold pressure tap on the gas valve, see Fig. 63.Carrier 59MN7C-01SI Modulating High Efficiency Condensing Gas Furnace - Gas Valve

Adjust Temperature Rise
NOTE: Blower door must be installed when taking temperature rise reading. Leaving blower door off will result in incorrect temperature measurements, due to possible changes in duct static pressure and airflow.
CAUTION
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in:
S Overheating the heat exchangers or condensing flue gases in heat exchanger areas not designed for condensate.
S Shortened furnace life
S Component damage.
Temperature rise must be within limits specified on furnace rating plate.
Recommended operation is at midpoint of rise range or slightly above.
Furnace must operate within ranges of temperature rise specified on the furnace rating plate. Determine air temperature rise as follows:

  1. Place thermometers in return and supply ducts as near furnace as possible. Be sure thermometers do not see heat exchanger so that radiant heat does not affect readings. This practice is particularly important with straight-run ducts.
  2. When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract return-air temperature from supply-air temperature to determine air temperature rise.

NOTE: The temperatures read by the RAT and SAT sensors connected to the control board can be displayed during heating and cooling operation by enabling this feature in the (t°) menu item. See Fig. 59. Select F for Fahrenheit or C for Celsius. When enabled, the display will cycle through the current operating mode, SAT, RAT, and temperature differential. If displayed SAT value does not agree with measured values, relocate SAT sensor farther away from furnace or after a bend in the ductwork.
NOTE: Temperature rise can be determined for Minimum Heat, Intermediate Heat and Maximum Heat operation by locking the furnace in each mode of operation. The mode of operation is based on the (Htt) setting on the furnace control board.
The furnace is capable of automatically providing proper airflow to maintain the temperature rise within the range specified on furnace rating plate. If temperature rise is outside this range, proceed as follows:

  1. Check gas input for minimum, intermediate and maximum heat operation.
  2. Check derate for altitude if applicable.

    This control shuts off combustion system and energizes air-circulating blower motor, if furnace overheats. By using this method to check limit control, it can be established that limit is functioning properly and will operate if there is a restricted return-air supply or motor failure. If limit control does not function during this test, cause must be determined and corrected.
    a. Run furnace for at least 5 minutes.
    a. Gradually block off return air with a piece of cardboard or sheet metal until the limit trips.
    b. Unblock return air to permit normal circulation.
    c. Burners will re-light when furnace cools down.

  2. Check Pressure Switch(es)
    This control proves operation of the draft inducer blower.
    a. Turn off 115-V power to furnace.
    b. Disconnect inducer motor lead wires from wire harness.
    c. Turn on 115-V power to furnace.
    d. Set thermostat to “call for heat” and wait 1 minute. When low pressure switch is functioning properly, hot surface igniter should NOT glow and control diagnostic light flashes a status code (32.2). If hot surface igniter glows when inducer motor is  disconnected shut down furnace immediately, determine reason pressure switch did not function properly and correct condition.
    e. Reconnect inducer motor wires, replace door, and turn on 115-V power.
    f. Blower will run for 90 sec before beginning the call for heat again.
    g. Furnace should ignite normally.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit operation.
Furnace control must be grounded for proper operation or control will lock out. Control is grounded through green/yellow wire routed to gas valve and burner box screw.
Using the schematic diagram, follow the sequence of operation through the different modes, see Fig. 60. Read and follow the wiring diagram very carefully!
NOTE: If a power interruption occurs during a call for heat (W/W1 or W/W1-and-W2), 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 and display will show ( ) during the 90-sec period, after which the LED will be ON continuous, as long as no faults are detected. After the 90-second period, the furnace will respond to the thermostat normally. The blower door 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.
Communicating Control and Modulating Heating
Best comfort will be attained when a communicating wall control is used with this product. Wiring and set-up instructions are provided with the communicating control. See the furnace data sheet accessory section for help in selecting the appropriate communicating control for this furnace. When a communicating control is used, the furnace will modulate through its full operation range, or can be limited via the minimum and maximum CFM configurations. Operation of the furnace at the beginning and end of each heating cycle will be the same as detailed below in the Single-Stage Thermostat section EXCEPT that the communicating control will send modulating rate command signals through the communication bus rather than energizing the 24-V thermostat terminals. Note that the R to W/W1 circuit signal will be controlled by the COMMR relay on the furnace control. See the wiring diagram in Fig. 60. Installer settings will be made via the wall control instead of the furnace control push buttons when a wall control is connected.
See Fig. 38 for thermostat connections.
NOTE: Heating Thermostat Type ( ) set to ( ) selects the minimum-heat only operation. When set to ( ) selects intermediate-heat only operation mode. If set to either ( ) or set to ( ), the furnace control will operate at two- stages only as referenced in Two Stage Thermostat section below. If set to ( ), the furnace control will operate in the adaptive heating mode in response to a call for heat. When the W2 thermostat terminal is energized it will always cause maximum-heat operation as long as the R to W circuit is closed, regardless of the setting of ( ).

Single-Stage Thermostat and Modulating Heating (Adaptive Mode)

This furnace can operate as a modulating furnace with a single-stage thermostat because the furnace control CPU includes a programmed adaptive sequence of controlled operation, which selects a modulated rate between minimum- and maximum-heat. This selection is based upon the stored history of the length of previous gas-heating periods of the single-stage thermostat.
The furnace will start up in either intermediate-, or maximum-heat. The furnace will transition and operate at minimum-heat or the calculated modulating rate after starting and operating for 45 seconds at intermediate- heat. The furnace control CPU defaults to minimum-heat on the first thermostat cycle and calculates the modulating rate that the furnace should run at for 19 minutes on subsequent heat cycles. If the power is interrupted, the stored modulating rate is erased and the furnace control will select intermediate- heat for 45 seconds, minimum-heat for 19 minutes and then switch to maximum- heat, as long as the thermostat continues to call for heat. The furnace control CPU then uses this information to calculate the modulating rate the furnace will operate at on the next heating cycle. If the calculated modulating rate is between 40% – 99% then the furnace control CPU will operate for 45 seconds at intermediate-heat, and then operate at the calculated modulating rate for up to 19 minutes and then switch to maximum-heat as long as the thermostat continues to call for heat. If the calculated modulating rate is 100% then the furnace control will only operate at maximum-heat until the thermostat is satisfied. The wall thermostat ”calls for heat”, closing the R to W circuit. The furnace control CPU performs a self-check, verifies the low, medium, and high pressure switch contacts LPS, MPS, and HPS are open, then de-energizes the PSR relay to close the NC contact.

  1. Inducer Prepurge Period – The furnace control CPU turns on inducer motor IDM and slowly increases the inducer motor speed. After the low pressure switch LPS closes the furnace control CPU continues to increase the inducer motor speed until the medium pressure switch MPS closes. When the medium pressure switch MPS closes, inducer motor RPM is noted by the furnace control CPU, and a 25-second prepurge period begins. The RPM is used to evaluate vent system resistance. This evaluation is then used to determine the required RPM necessary to operate the inducer motor during pre-purge, the first 45 seconds of intermediate-heat, or any modulating rate that the furnace will transition to after the blower on-delay is completed.
    NOTE: The heat cycle can start in either intermediate- or maximum-heat. If a maximum-heat cycle is initiated, the furnace control CPU will continue to increase the inducer motor speed after the medium pressure switch MPS closes. When the medium pressure switch closes, inducer motor RPM is noted by the furnace control CPU, and a 25-second prepurge period begins. The RPM is used to evaluate vent system restriction. This evaluation is then used to determine the required RPM necessary to operate the inducer motor in maximum-heat pre- purge, or maximum-heat. The high pressure switch HPS should be closed before ignition but the furnace control ignores this input until after ignition occurs.

  2.  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

  3. Trial-For-Ignition Sequence – When the igniter warm-up period is completed the main gas valve relay contact GVR closes to energize the gas valve solenoid GV (pin 5). Simultaneously, the 24V humidifier terminal HUM is energized and remains energized while the gas valve solenoid is energized. The gas valve solenoid GV (pin 5) permits gas flow to the burners where it is ignited. Five seconds after the GVR closes, a 2-second Flame-Proving period begins. The HSI igniter will remain energized until flame is sensed or until the 2-second flame proving period begins.

  4. Flame-Proving – When the burner flame is proved at the flame-proving sensor electrode FSE, the furnace control CPU begins the blower-ON delay period and continues to hold the gas valve GV (pin 5) open. If the burner flame is not proved within two seconds, the furnace control CPU will close the gas valve GV (pin 5), and the furnace control CPU will repeat the ignition sequence for up to three more Trials-For-Ignition before going to 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/W1, G, R, etc.). If flame is proved when flame should not be present, the furnace control CPU will lock out of Gas-Heating mode and operate the inducer motor IDM at full speed until flame is no longer proved.

  5.  Inducer Speed Change – If the cycle starts in intermediate-heat, the furnace control CPU reduces the inducer speed slightly after flame sense. If cycle starts in maximum-heat, the furnace control CPU increases the inducer speed after flame sense.

  6. Blower-ON delay — If the burner flame is proven, the blower-ON delay for intermediate-heat and maximum-heat are as follows: Intermediate-heat – 45 seconds after the gas valve GV (pin 5) is opened the blower motor BLWM is turned ON at the  modulating heat airflow. Maximum-heat – 25 seconds after the gas valve GV (pin 5) is opened the BLWM is turned ON at maximum-heat airflow. Simultaneously, the electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 is energized and remain energized throughout the heating cycle.

  7.  Switching from Intermediate-Heat to a Low Range Input – If the furnace control CPU switches from intermediate-heat to a low range input (low range input is an input rate less than or equal to 51% of full rate), the furnace control CPU will turn the blower ON or switch to the modulating heat airflow, energize the PSR relay to open the NC contact, and slowly decrease the inducer motor speed to the desired inducer RPM. Switching from a Intermediate-Heat to a Medium Range Input
    – If the furnace control CPU switches from intermediate-heat to a different medium range input (medium range input is an input rate between 52% and 71% of full rate), the furnace control CPU will turn the blower ON or switch to the modulating heat airflow, and continue to maintain the inducer motor speed or change it further if required.
    Switching from a Intermediate-Heat to a High Range Input – If the furnace control CPU switches from intermediate-heat to a high range input (high range input is an input rate greater than or equal to 72% of full rate), the furnace control CPU will turn the blower ON or switch to the modulating heat airflow, and increase the inducer motor speed to the desired inducer motor RPM. Switching from Low Range Input to Maximum-Heat – If the furnace control CPU switches from a low range input to maximum-heat, the furnace control CPU will de-energize the PSR relay to close the NC contact and slowly increase the inducer motor speed until the medium pressure switch MPS closes. When the medium pressure switch MPS closes the inducer motor RPM is
    noted by the furnace control CPU. The RPM is used to evaluate vent system resistance. This evaluation is then used to determine the required RPM necessary to operate the inducer motor at maximum-heat. The blower motor BLWM will transition to maximum-heat airflow five seconds after the furnace control CPU switches from a low range input to maximum-heat. As the inducer RPM increases, the high pressure switch HPS should close. Switching from Medium Range Input to Maximum-Heat – If the furnace control CPU switches from medium range input to maximum-heat, the furnace control CPU will increase the inducer motor speed to the maximum-heat inducer motor RPM. The blower motor BLWM will transition to the maximum-heat airflow five seconds after the furnace control CPU switches from a medium range input to maximum-heat. As the inducer RPM increases, the high pressure switch HPS should close.

  8. Blower-OFF Delay – When the thermostat is satisfied, the R to W circuit is opened, de-energizing the gas valve GV (pin 5), stopping gas flow to the burners, and 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 minimum-heat airflow or transition to minimum-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 delay.

Two-Stage Thermostat and Modulating Heating (Adaptive Mode)
Operation of Modulating Heating with a two-stage thermostat and Heating Thermostat Type ( ) set to ( ) is the same as with a single-stage thermostat, EXCEPT for the following:
If the two-stage thermostat R-W2 circuit closes along with the R to W/W1 circuit, while the furnace is operating at any capacity less than maximum, the furnace will switch to the maximum heating capacity. At this point, the furnace control heating algorithm is overridden and the two-stage thermostat takes control of staging until BOTH R to W/W1 and R to W2 circuits are opened.
The furnace will transition back to the lower heating capacity if the two- stage thermostat opens the R-W2 circuit, but leaves R to W/W1 circuit closed. The furnace control will continue to follow the commands from the two-stage thermostat for W/W1 and W2, until the R to W/W1 circuit is opened.
After the two-stage thermostat opens both the R to W/W1 and R to W2 circuits, the adaptive algorithm will set the beginning capacity of the next heating cycle to the same value as the heating cycle that most recently completed.
Two-Stage Thermostat and Two-Stage Minimum/Maximum Heating =

See Fig. 38 for thermostat connections.
NOTE: In this mode, Heating Thermostat Type ( ) set to ( ) to select the minimum-heat only operation mode in response to closing the thermostat R to W1 circuit. Closing the thermostat R to W1-and-W2 circuits always causes maximum- heat operation, regardless of the setting of the minimum-heat only switch.
The furnace will start up in either intermediate-, or maximum-heat. The furnace will operate in minimum-heat after starting and operating for 1 minute at intermediate-heat before transitioning to minimum-heat.
The wall thermostat ”calls for heat”, closing the R to W1 circuit for minimum- heat or closing the R to W1-and-W2 circuits for maximum-heat. The furnace control performs a self-check, and verifies the low, medium and high pressure switch contacts LPS, MPS and HPS are open, then de-energizes the PSR relay to close the NC contact.
The start up and shut down functions and delays described above apply to the 2-stage minimum/maximum heating mode as well, except for switching from maximum- to minimum-heat.

  1. Switching from Maximum- to Minimum-Heat – If the thermostat R to W2 circuit opens, and the R to W1 circuit remains closed, the furnace control CPU will gradually decrease the inducer motor speed to the required intermediate-heat RPM. When the  inducer motor IDM reduces pressure sufficiently, the high pressure switch HPS will open and the gas rate will be changed to intermediate-heat. The gas valve solenoid GV (pin 5) will remain energized as long as the low pressure switch LPS remains closed.
    When the inducer motor speed gets within 15% of the required intermediate-heat RPM the furnace control CPU will start a 5 second blower airflow change delay. After the 5 second blower airflow change delay is completed the blower airflow will transition
    to minimum-heat airflow. At this point the furnace control CPU will energize the PSR relay to open the NC contact and slowly decrease the inducer motor speed to the required minimum-heat RPM. When the PSR relay is energized and the NC contact opens the furnace control CPU will reduce the gas rate to minimum-heat RPM.

    Cooling Mode
    The thermostat “calls for cooling.”
    a. Single-Speed Cooling-
    See Fig. 38 for thermostat connections The thermostat closes the R-to-G-and-Y circuits. The R-to- Y circuit starts the outdoor unit, and the R-to-G-and-Y/Y2 circuits start the furnace blower motor BLWM on high cooling airflow. High cooling airflow is based on the high cooling speed ( ) selection. The electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 is energized with 115 VAC when the blower motor BLWM is operating. When the thermostat is satisfied, the R-to-G-and-Y circuits are opened. The outdoor unit will stop, and the furnace blower motor BLWM will continue operating at cooling airflow for an additional (See Fig. 58) 5, 30, or 90 seconds (depending on the cooling blower-OFF delay ( ) setting). The furnace CPU is factory set for a 90 second cooling blower- OFF delay.
    b. Single-Stage Thermostat and Two-Speed Cooling (Adaptive Mode) – See Fig. 38 for thermostat connections.
    This furnace can operate a two-speed cooling unit with a single-stage thermostat because the furnace control CPU includes a programmed adaptive sequence of controlled operation, which selects low-cooling or high-cooling operation. This selection is based upon the stored history of the length of previous cooling period of the single-stage thermostat.
    NOTE: ( ) must be set to ( ) to enable the adaptive cooling mode in response to a call for cooling. See Fig. 58. When ( ) is set to ( ) the furnace control CPU can turn on the air conditioning relay ACR to energize the Y/Y2 terminal and switch the outdoor unit to high-cooling. The furnace control CPU can start up the cooling unit in either low- or high-cooling. If starting up in low-cooling, the furnace control CPU determines the low-cooling on-time (from 0 to 20 minutes) which is permitted before switching to high-cooling. If the power is interrupted, the stored history is erased and the furnace control CPU will select low-cooling for up to 20 minutes and then energize the air conditioning relay ACR to energize the Y/Y2 terminal and switch the outdoor unit to high-cooling, as long as the thermostat continues to call for cooling. Subsequent selection is based on stored history of the thermostat cycle times.
    The wall thermostat “calls for cooling”, closing the R-to-G-and-Y circuits. The R-to-Y1 circuit starts the outdoor unit on low-cooling speed, and the R-to-G-and-Y1 circuits starts the furnace blower motor BLWM at low-cooling airflow. Low cooling airflow is based on the low cooling blower speed ( ) selection. See Fig. 58. If the furnace control CPU switches from low-cooling to high-cooling, the furnace control CPU will energize the air conditioning relay ACR. When the air conditioning relay ACR is energized the R-to-Y1-and-Y2 circuits switch the outdoor unit to high-cooling speed, and the R-to-G-and-Y1-and-Y/Y2 circuits transition the furnace blower motor BLWM to high-cooling airflow. High-cooling airflow is based on high-cooling blower speed ( ) selection. The electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 is energized with 115 VAC whenever the blower motor BLWM is operating. wiring When the thermostat is satisfied, the R-to-G-and-Y circuit are opened. The outdoor unit stops, and the furnace blower BLWM and electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 will remain energized for an additional 5, 30, or 90 seconds (depending on the cooling blower-OFF delay ( ) setting). The furnace CPU is factory set for a 90 second cooling blower-OFF
    delay (See Fig. 58).
    c. Two-Stage Thermostat and Two-Speed Cooling See Fig. 38 for thermostat connections
    NOTE: ( ) setting must be set to (2st) to allow thermostat control of the outdoor unit staging. (See Fig. 58).
    The thermostat closes the R-to-G-and-Y1 circuits for low-cooling or closes the R-to-G-and-Y1-and-Y2 circuits for high-cooling. The R-to-Y1 circuit starts the outdoor unit on low-cooling speed, and the R-to-G-and-Y1 circuit starts the furnace blower motor BLWM at low-cooling airflow based on low-cooling blower speed ( ) selection. The R-to-Y1-and-Y2 circuits start the outdoor unit on high-cooling speed, and the R-to- G-and-Y/Y2 circuits start the furnace blower motor BLWM at high-cooling airflow. High-cooling airflow is based on high cooling blower speed ( ) selection. (See Fig. 58) 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-to-G-and-Y1 or R-to- G-and-Y1-and-Y2 circuits are opened. The outdoor unit stops, and the furnace blower BLWM and electronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 will remain energized for 5, 30, or 90 seconds (depending on the cooling blower-OFF delay ( ) setting). The furnace CPU is factory set for a 90 second cooling blower-OFF delay (See Fig. 58).

  2. Dehumidification Mode
    See Fig. 38 for thermostat connections.
    The dehumidification output on the thermostat should be connected to the furnace control thermostat terminal DHUM. When there is a dehumidify demand, the DHUM input is activated, which means 24 VAC signal is removed from the DHUM input terminal. In other words, the DHUM input logic is reversed. The DHUM input is turned ON when no dehumidify demand exists. Once 24 VAC is detected by the furnace control on the DHUM input, dehumidification capability is activated. If the DHUM input is removed for more than 48 hours, the furnace control reverts back to non-dehumidification mode. The cooling operation described in item 3 above also applies tooperation with a dehumidification thermostat. The exceptions are listed below:
    a. Low cooling-When the R-to-G-and-Y1 circuit is closed and there is a demand for dehumidification, the low cooling airflow demand is reduced by 10 percent.
    b. High cooling-When the R-to-G-and Y/Y2 circuit is closed and there is a demand for dehumidification, high cooling airflow demand is reduced by 10 percent.
    c. Cooling OFF-delay-When the “call for cooling” is satisfied and there is a demand for dehumidification, the cooling blower-off delay is decreased from current setting to 5 seconds.

  3.  Continuous Fan Mode
    When the R-to-G circuit is closed by the thermostat, the blower motor BLWM will operate at fan airflow. Continuous fan airflow selection is initially based on the CF (continuous fan) selection shown in Fig. 58. Factory default is shown in Fig. 58. 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 continuous fan airflow or low-heat airflow whichever is lowest. The blower motor BLWM will remain ON until the main burners ignite then shut OFF and remain OFF for the blower-ON delay (45 seconds in low-heat, and 25 seconds in high-heat), allowing the furnace heat exchangers to heat up more quickly, then restarts at the end of the blower-ON delay period at low-heat or high-heat airflow, respectively.
    The blower motor BLWM will revert to continuous fan airflow after the heating cycle is completed. In high-heat, the furnace control CPU will drop the blower motor BLWM to low-heat airflow during the selected blower-OFF delay period before transitioning to continuous fan airflow.
    When the thermostat “calls for low-cooling”, the blower motor BLWM will switch to operate at low-cooling airflow. When the thermostat is satisfied, the blower motor BLWM will operate an additional 90 seconds at low-cooling airflow before transitioning
    back to continuous fan airflow.
    When the thermostat “calls for high-cooling”, the blower motor BLWM will operate at high cooling airflow. When the thermostat is satisfied, the blower motor BLWM will operate an additional 90 seconds at high-cooling airflow before transitioning back to
    continuous fan airflow. When the R-to-G circuit is opened, the blower motor BLWM will continue operating for an additional 5seconds, if no other function requires blower motor BLWM operation.

The primary continuous fan airflow ( ) can be selected using the 3-digit display/pushbuttons or via the service tech app. Refer to the FURNACE CONTROL PROGRAMMING AND NAVIGATION section of this manual for instructions on adjusting the blower speed via the control board interface. Alternate continuous fan airflows, ( and ), can only be modified via the service tech app.
Setting Active Continuous Fan Speed
Method 1: If the G input (or FAN switch/setting at the thermostat) is turned OFF for 1 to 3 seconds and then back ON, the active continuous fan speed will cycle to the next speed ( ). Repeating will change the active continuous fan speed to the next speed ( ).
Repeating again will set the active continuous fan back to the primary speed ( ). This method is intended as a way for home owners to adjust the continuous fan speed setting from the thermostat depending on their needs.
Method 2: The active continuous fan speed ( ) can be selected via the service tech app.

Heat Pump
See Fig. 38 for thermostat connections. 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 W/W1 is energized along with Y1 or Y/Y2, the furnace control CPU will transition to or bring on the blower motor BLWM at cooling airflow, minimum-heat airflow, or the mid-range airflow, whichever is lowest. 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 modulating heat airflow. When the W/W1 input signal disappears, the furnace control begins a normal inducer post-purge period while changing the blower airflow. If Y/Y2 input is still energized the furnace control CPU will transition the blower motor BLWM airflow to cooling airflow. If Y/Y2 input signal disappears and the Y1 input is still energized the furnace control CPU will transition the blower motor BLWM to low-cooling airflow. If both the Y1 and Y/Y2 signals disappear at the same time, the blower motor BLWM will remain on at minimum-heat airflow for the selected blower-OFF delay period. At the end of the blower-OFF delay, the blower motor BLWM will shut OFF unless G is still energized, in which case the blower motor BLWM will operate at continuous blower airflow.
