ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION

Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components. Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will prevent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand tools which are held during the procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing the control to electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same electrostatic potential.

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

11. Refer to furnace wiring diagram and connect wires to inducer motor and pressure switch or connectors.
12. Reconnect pressure tubes to pressure switch. See diagram on main furnace door for proper location of tubes. Be sure tubes are not kinked. (See Fig. 8.)
13. Turn on gas and electrical supplies to furnace.
14. Check furnace operation through 2 complete heat operating cycles. Check area below inducer housing, vent pipe, and condensate trap to ensure no condensate leaks occur. If leaks are found, correct the problem.
15. Check for gas leaks.

WARNING

Never use matches, candles, flame, or other sources of ignition to check for gas leakage. Use a soap-and-water solution. Failure to follow this warning could result in a fire, personal injury, or death.

16. Replace main furnace door.

Step 6—Servicing Hot Surface Ignitor

The ignitor does NOT require annual inspection. Check ignitor resistance before removal.

1. Turn off gas and electrical supplies to furnace.
2. Remove main furnace door.
3. Disconnect ignitor wire connection.
4. Check ignitor resistance.

a. Using an ohm meter, check resistance across both ignitor leads in connector.
b. Cold reading should be between 45 ohms and 90 ohms.
c. If ohm reading is higher than 110 ohms, ignitor is cracked and must be replaced.

5. Remove ignitor assembly.

CAUTION

Allow ignitor to cool before removal. Normal operation temperatures exceed 2000°F.

a. Do not remove ignitor from bracket while assembly is in furnace. Using a 1/4 in. nutdriver, remove screw securing bracket and ignitor assembly to bottom of burner box. The screw in the bracket is always located toward outside of burner box. The screw may be hidden by inlet box or inlet pipe, but can be removed without removing either. After removing screw, slide ignitor and bracket toward outside of burner box and pull straight out.

CAUTION

The ignitor is fragile. DO NOT allow it to hit the side of the burner box opening while removing or replacing it.

b. Inspect ignitor for a white area indicating a crack may be present. If found, replace ignitor.

NOTE: A small crack cannot be seen on a new ignitor. After a period of operation, a white area will be visible around the crack.

c. If replacement is required, replace ignitor on ignitor bracket external to furnace to avoid damage as the silicon portion is very brittle and will easily crack or shatter.
d. To remove ignitor from ignitor bracket, remove screw holding ignitor ceramic block to bracket and pull ceramic block out of bracket.

6. To replace ignitor/ignitor assembly, reverse items 5a through 5d.
7. Reconnect ignitor wire connection.
8. Turn on gas and electrical supplies to furnace.
9. Verify ignitor operation by initiating control board self-test feature or by cycling thermostat.
10. Replace main furnace door.

Step 7—Electrical Controls and Wiring

CAUTION

There may be more than 1 electrical supply to the unit. Check accessories and cooling unit for additional electrical supplies.

The electrical ground and polarity for 115-v wiring must be maintained properly. Refer to Fig. 11 for field wiring information and to Fig. 15 for unit wiring information.

NOTE: If the polarity is not correct, the STATUS LED on the control center will flash rapidly and prevent the furnace from operating. The control system also requires an earth ground for proper operation of the control center and flame sensing.

The 24-v circuit contains an automotive-type, 3-amp fuse located on the control center. (See Fig. 12.) Any direct shorts of the 24-v wiring during installation, service, or maintenance will cause this fuse to blow. If fuse replacement is required, use ONLY a fuse of identical size.

With power to the unit disconnected, check all electrical connections for tightness. Tighten all screws on electrical connections. If any smoky or burned connections are found, disassemble the connection, clean all parts, strip wire, and reassemble properly and securely.

Reconnect electrical supply to unit and observe unit through 1 complete operating cycle. Electrical controls are difficult to check without proper instrumentation; if there are any discrepancies in the operating cycle, contact your dealer and request service.

Step 8—Checking Heat Tape Operation
(If Applicable)

In applications where the ambient temperature around the furnace is 32°F or lower, freeze protection measures are required. If this application is where heat tape has been applied, check to ensure it will operate when low temperatures are present.

NOTE: Heat tape, when used, should be wrapped around the condensate drain trap and drain line. There is no need to use heat tape within the furnace casing. Most heat tapes are temperature activated, and it is not practical to verify the actual heating of the tape. Check the following:

CAUTION

If this furnace is installed in an unconditioned space where the ambient temperatures may be 32°F or lower, freeze protection measures must be taken.

  1. Check for signs of physical damage to heat tape such as nicks, cuts, abrasions, gnawing by animals, etc.
  2. Check for discolored heat tape insulation. If any damage or discolored insulation is evident, replace heat tape.
  3. Check that heat tape power supply circuit is on.

1. Turn off electrical supply to furnace.
2. Remove main furnace door.
3. Disconnect drain tube from inducer housing. (See Fig. 13.)
4. Insert funnel in drain tube and pour antifreeze, propylene glycol (RV, swimming pool antifreeze, or equivalent) into furnace until it is visible at point where condensate enters open drain. (See Fig. 14.)
5. Reconnect drain tube to inducer housing.
6. Replace main furnace door.

CAUTION

Do not use ethylene glycol (Prestone II antifreeze/coolant or equivalent automotive type). Failure of plastic components will occur.

WIRING DIAGRAM

See Fig. 15 for Wiring Diagram.

TROUBLESHOOTING

For an explanation of fault codes, refer to service label located on back of main furnace door or Fig. 16, and the Troubleshooting Guide.

The control center stores 1 status code (representing the last fault to occur) for a period of 48 hrs or until the 115- or 24-v power is interrupted.

NOTE: Removing blower access panel will open blower access panel door switch and terminates 115-v power to control center. The status code will be erased. Look into blower access panel sight glass for current LED status BEFORE removing blower access panel.

The unit’s component test is a useful troubleshooting tool since it displays the current status code of the furnace and functionally operates all furnace components except the gas valve. The component test and methods to initiate it are described below.

COMPONENT TEST SEQUENCE

NOTE: All components are functionally operated except the gas valve.

When the component test is initiated, the following sequence of events occurs:

  1. LED flashes a status code 4 times.
  2. Inducer motor starts and continues to run for remainder of component test.
  3. Hot surface ignitor is energized for 15 sec, then de-energized.
  4. Main blower operates at cooling speed for 10 sec, then turns off.
  5. Main blower operates at heating speed for 10 sec, then turns off.
  6. Inducer motor stops.

Component test can be initiated by one of the following procedures.

INITIATING COMPONENT TEST AND RETRIEVING STATUS CODE BY REMOVING MAIN LIMIT SWITCH WIRE

NOTE: NO thermostat signal may be present at control center and all blower time delay of periods must be completed.

1. Leave 115-v power to furnace turned on.
2. Remove main furnace door.
3. Look into blower access panel sight glass for current LED status.

NOTE: Leave blower access panel installed to maintain power to control center to view current LED status.

4. BRIEFLY remove either wire from the main limit switch until the LED goes out, then reconnect it.

SERVICE

If status code recall is needed, do not remove power or blower door. Briefly remove and then reconnect one main limit wire to display stored status code.
LED CODE| STATUS
CONTINUOUS OFF –| Check for 115VAC at L1 and L2, and 24VAC at SEC-1 and SEC-2.
CONTINUOUS ON –| Control has 24VAC power.
RAPID FLASHING –| Line voltage (115VAC) polarity reversed. If twinned, refer to twinning kit instructions.
EACH OF THE FOLLOWING STATUS CODES IS A TWO DIGIT NUMBER WITH THE FIRST DIGIT DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF SHORT FLASHES AND THE SECOND DIGIT BY THE NUMBER OF LONG FLASHES.
11 NO PREVIOUS CODE – Stored status codes are erased when power (115VAC or 24VAC) to control is interrupted or 48 hours after each fault is cleared.
12 BLOWER ON AFTER POWER UP (115 VAC or 24 VAC)   -Blower runs for 90 seconds, if unit is powered up during a call for heat (R-W closed).
13 LIMIT OR FLAME ROLL-OUT SWITCH LOCKOUT – Control will auto reset after three hours. Reset switch or replace fuse link. Refer to #33.
14 IGNITION LOCKOUT – Control will auto-reset after three hours. Refer to

34.

21 GAS HEATING LOCKOUT    – Control will NOT auto reset.
Check for: – Mis-wired gas valve      -Defective control (valve relay)
22 ABNORMAL FLAME-PROVING SIGNAL    – Flame is proved while gas valve is de-energized. Inducer will run until fault is cleared.
Check for:   – Leaky gas valve     -Stuck-open gas valve
23 PRESSURE SWITCH DID NOT OPEN    Check for:
– Obstructed pressure tubing.    – Pressure switch stuck closed.
24 SECONDARY VOLTAGE FUSE IS OPEN
Check for: – Short circuit in secondary voltage (24VAC) wiring.
31 PRESSURE, DRAFT SAFEGUARD , AUX-LIMIT SWITCH (when used*) OR BLOCKED VENT SWITCH (when used) DID NOT CLOSE OR REOPENED
(DOWNFLOW ONLY*)* If open longer than five minutes, inducer shuts off for 15 minutes before retry.  Check for:  – Proper vent sizing
– Low inducer voltage (115VAC)                – Defective inducer motor
- Defective Blower motor or capacitor     – Restricted vent
– Defective pressure switch                        – Excessive wind
– Inadequate combustion air supply
– Disconnected or obstructed pressure tubing
If it opens after trial for ignition period, blower will come on for 90 second recycle delay.
33 LIMIT OR FLAME ROLL-OUT SWITCH IS OPEN – If open longer than three minutes, code changes to #13. Flame roll-out switch requires manual reset.
Check for:  – Defective blower motor or capacitor.
– Dirty filter or restricted duct system.
– Loose blower wheel.
– Defective switch or connections.
– Inadequate combustion air supply (Flame Roll-out Switch or fuse link open).
– Open Flame Roll-out switch, or fuse link. Manual reset or replace.
34 IGNITION PROVING FAILURE – Control will try three more times before lockout #14 occurs. If flame signal lost after trial for ignition period, blower will come on for 90 second recycle delay. Check for:
– Oxide buildup on flame sensor (clean with fine steel wool).
– Proper flame sense microamps (.5 microamps D.C. min., 4.0 – 6.0 nominal).
– Gas valve defective or gas valve turned off.
– Defective Hot Surface Ignitor          – Manual valve shut-off.
– Low inlet gas pressure.                     – Control ground continuity
– Green wire
MUST be connected to furnace sheet metal.
– Inadequate flame carryover or rough ignition.
– Flame sensor must be ungrounded.
COMPONENT TEST**
To initiate the component test sequence, shut OFF the room thermostat or disconnect the “R” thermostat lead. Briefly short the TEST terminal to the “Com 24V” terminal. Status LED will flash code and then turn ON the inducer motor. The inducer motor will run for the entire component test. The hot surface ignitor, 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.
