INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

• If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, install the furnace upstream or in parallel with the cooling unit coil. Premature heat exchanger failure will result if the cooling unit coil is placed ahead of the furnace.
  · If the furnace is installed in a residential garage, position the furnace so that the burners and ignition source are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor. Protect the furnace from physical damage by vehicles.
  · If the furnace is installed horizontally, the furnace access doors must be vertical so that the burners fire horizontally into the heat exchanger. Do not install the unit with the access doors on the “up/top” or “down/ bottom” side of the furnace.
  Clearances and Accessibility Installations must adhere to the clearances to combustible materials to which this furnace has been design certified. The minimum clearance information for this furnace is provided on the unit’s clearance label. These clearances must be permanently maintained. Refer to Specification Sheet for minimum clearances to combustible materials. Clearances must also accommodate an installation’s gas, electrical, and drain trap and drain line connections. If the alternate combustion air intake or vent/flue connections are used on a 90% furnace, additional clearances must be provided to accommodate these connections. Refer to Vent Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe section in this manual or the installation instructions for details. NOTE: In addition to the required clearances to combustible materials, a minimum of 24 inches service clearance must be available in front of the unit.
  A furnace installed in a confined space (i.e., a closet or utility room) must have two ventilation openings with a total minimum free area of 0.25 square inches per 1,000 BTU/hr of furnace input rating. One of the ventilation openings must be within 12 inches of the top; the other opening must be within 12 inches of the bottom of the confined space. In a typical construction, the clearance between the door and door frame is usually adequate to satisfy this ventilation requirement.
  Furnace Suspension If suspending the furnace from rafters or joist, use 3/8″ threaded rod and 2″x2″x1/8″ angle iron as shown in the following figure. If the furnace is installed in a crawl space it must also be suspended from the floor joist or supported by a concrete pad. Never install the furnace on the ground or allow it to be exposed to water. The length of rod will depend on the application and the clearances necessary.

EXISTING FURNACE REMOVAL NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a venting system serving other appliances, the venting system may be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
The following vent testing procedure is reproduced from the American National Standard/National Standard of Canada for Gas-Fired Central Furnaces ANSI Z21.47, latest edition, CSA-2.3b, latest edition Section 1.23.1.
The following steps shall be followed with each appliance connected to the venting system placed in operation, while any other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
a. Seal any unused openings in the venting system; b. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch,
as required by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the CSA B149 Installation Codes and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition; c. In so 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. 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 shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers; d. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continuously; e. Test for draft hood equipped spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle; f. 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 burning appliance to their previous conditions of use;

1. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the common venting system must be corrected.

(Section 9.3), or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes (Sections 7.2, 7.3, or 7.4), or applicable provisions of the local building codes for determining the combustion air requirements for the appliances.
Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the furnace area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connecting directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors such as attics or crawl spaces.

Thermostat Requirements
A high quality single stage thermostat with a “C” terminal is recommended to control the GSS9 and ASS9 furnace.

The following information on air for combustion and ventilation is reproduced from the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 Section 9.3.
9.3* Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

Thermostat Location In an area having good air circulation, locate the thermostat about five feet high on a vibration-free inside wall. Do not install the thermostat where it may be influenced by any of the following:
· Drafts, or dead spots behind doors, in corners, or under cabinets.
· Hot or cold air from registers.
· Radiant heat from the sun.
· Light fixtures or other appliances.
· Radiant heat from a fireplace.
· Concealed hot or cold water pipes, or chimneys.
· Unconditioned areas behind the thermostat and dehumidistat, such as an outside wall.

9.3.1 General.
9.3.1.1 Air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases for appliances installed in buildings shall be obtained by application of one of the methods covered in 9.3.2 through 9.3.6. Where the requirements of 9.3.2 are not met, outdoor air shall be introduced in accordance with methods covered in 9.3.3 through 9.3.6.
Exception No. 1: This provision shall not apply to direct vent appliances.
9.3.1.2 Appliances of other than natural draft design and other than Category 1 vented appliances shall be provided with combustion, ventilation, and dilution air in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
9.3.1.3 Appliances shall be located so as not to interfere with proper circulation of combustion, ventilation, and dilution air.

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR REQUIREMENTS

9.3.1.4 Where used, a draft hood or a barometric draft regulator shall be installed in the same room or enclosure as the appliance served so as to prevent any difference in pressure between the hood or regulator and the combustion air supply.

WARNING
POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR
IF THE FURNACE IS NOT PROVIDED WITH ENOUGH FRESH AIR FOR PROPER
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OF FLUE GASES. MOST HOMES REQUIRE
OUTSIDE AIR BE SUPPLIED TO THE FURNACE AREA.
Improved construction and additional insulation in buildings have reduced heat loss by reducing air infiltration and escape around doors and windows. These changes have helped in reducing heating/cooling costs but have created a problem supplying combustion and ventilation air for gas fired and other fuel burning appliances. Appliances that pull air out of the house (clothes dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces, etc.) increase the problem by starving appliances for air. When the furnace is installed as a direct vent (2-pipe) furnace, no special provisions for air for combustion are required. However, if this furnace is to be installed in the same space with other gas appliances, such as a water heater, ensure there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for the other appliances. Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1

9.3.1.5 Makeup air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation systems, clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be considered in determining the adequacy of a space to provide combustion air requirements.
9.3.2 Indoor Combustion Air. The required volume of indoor air shall be determined in accordance with the method in 9.3.2.1 or 9.3.2.2 except that where the air infiltration rate is known to be less than 0.40 ACH, the method in 9.3.2.2 shall be used. The total required volume shall be the sum of the required volume calculated for all appliances located within the space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed through openings not furnished with doors, and through combustion air openings sized and located in accordance with 9.3.2.3, are considered a part of the required volume.
9.3.2.1 Standard Method. The minimum required volume shall be 50 ft 3 per 1,000/Btu/hour (4.8m3/kW).
9.3.2.2 Known Air Infiltration Rate Method. Where the air infiltration rate of a structure is known, the minimum required volume shall be determined as follows:

Horizontal Applications and Considerations Horizontal applications, in particular, may dictate many of the installation’s specifics such as airflow direction, ductwork connections, flue and/or combustion air pipe connections, etc. The basic application of this furnace as a horizontal furnace differs only slightly from an upright installation. When installing a furnace horizontally, additional consideration must be given to the following:
Drain Trap and Lines In horizontal applications the condensate drain trap is secured to the furnace side panel, suspending it below the furnace. A minimum clearance of 5.5″ below the furnace must be provided for the drain trap. Additionally, the appropriate downward piping slope must be maintained from the drain trap to the drain location. Refer to Condensate Drain Trap and Lines section in this manual or the installation instructions for further details. If the drain trap and drain line will be exposed to temperatures near or below freezing, adequate measures must be taken to prevent condensate from freezing. NOTE: The use of insulation and/or heat tape is recommended. Failure to provide proper condensate drainage can result in property damage.
Leveling Leveling ensures proper condensate drainage from the heat exchanger and induced draft blower. For proper flue pipe drainage, the furnace must be level lengthwise from end to end. The furnace should also be level from back to front or have a slight tilt with the access doors downhill (approximately 3/4″) from the back panel. The slight tilt allows the heat exchanger condensate, generated in the recuperator coil, to flow forward to the recuperator coil front cover.
In horizontal installations with the furnace laying on the left hand side, the alternate vent connection may be used. In this configuration the internal elbow is removed. The standard piping connections may also be used in these positions. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe

CONVERSIONS MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER OR SERVICE
AGENCY.
This furnace is shipped from the factory configured for natural gas at standard altitude. Propane gas installations require an orifice change to compensate for the energy content difference between natural and propane gas. High altitude installations may require both a pressure switch and an orifice change. These changes are necessary to compensate for the natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and the combustion air at higher altitude. Refer to the Accessories Charts in this manual or product Specification Sheet for a tabular listing of appropriate manufacturer’s kits for propane gas and/or high altitude installations. The indicated kits must be used to insure safe and proper furnace operation. All conversions must be performed by a qualified installer, or service agency.

A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by extracting almost all of the heat from the products of combustion and cooling them to the point where condensation takes place. Because of the relatively low flue gas temperature and water condensation requirements, PVC pipe is used as venting material.
This furnace must not be connected to Type B, BW, or L vent or vent connector, and must not be vented into any portion of a factory built or masonry chimney except when used as a pathway for PVC as described later in this section. Never common vent this appliance with another appliance or use a vent which is used by a solid fuel appliance.
It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the manufacturers’ recommendations and to verify that all vent/flue piping and connectors are compatible with furnace flue products. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the installer to

e

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

ensure that all piping and connections possess adequate structural integrity and support to prevent flue pipe separation, shifting, or sagging during furnace operation.
Dual Certification: Non-Direct/Direct Vent (90% Furnaces Only) The 90% furnace is dual certified and may be installed as a non-direct vent (single pipe) or direct vent (dual pipe) appliance. A non-direct vent installation requires only a vent/ flue pipe. A direct vent installation requires both a vent/ flue pipe and a combustion air intake pipe. Refer to the appropriate section for details concerning piping size, length, number of elbows, furnace connections, and terminations.

create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.
· The combustion air intake termination of a direct vent application should not terminate in an area which is frequently dusty or dirty.
NOTE: In Canada, the B149 Fuel Gas Code takes precedence over the preceding termination restrictions.
Direct Vent Installations On upflow units secure the combustion air intake pipe directly to the air intake coupling. On counterflow units secure the combustion air intake pipe to the air intake coupling using the rubber coupling and worm gear hose clamps provided with the unit. The counterflow rubber coupling allows service removal of air intake piping internal to the furnace blower compartment. The combustion air intake pipe can also be secured directly to the counterflow unit air intake pipe coupling.

Precautions should be taken to prevent condensate from freezing inside the vent/flue pipe and/or at the vent/flue pipe termination. It is our recommendation that all vent/flue piping exposed to temperatures below 35°F for extended periods of time should be insulated with 1/2″ thick closed cell foam. Also all vent/flue piping exposed outdoors in excess of the terminations shown in this manual (or in unheated areas) should be insulated with 1/2″ thick closed cell foam. Inspect piping for leaks prior to installing insulation.

Non-Direct Vent Installations A minimum of one 90° elbow must be installed on the com-
bustion air intake “coupling” to guard against inadvertent
blockage.

The following bullets and diagram describe the restrictions concerning the appropriate location of vent/flue pipe and combustion air intake pipe (when applicable) terminations. Refer to the installation instructions for specific details on termination construction.
· All terminations must be located at least 12 inches above ground level or the anticipated snow level.
· Vent terminations must terminate at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet.
NOTE: This provision does not apply to the combustion air intake termination of a direct vent application.
· The vent termination of a non-direct vent application must terminate at least 4 feet below, 4 feet horizontally from, or 1 foot above any door, window, or gravity air inlet into any building.
· The vent termination of a direct vent application must terminate at least 12 inches from any opening through which flue gases may enter a building (door, window, or gravity air inlet).
· The vent termination of vent pipe run vertically through a roof must terminate at least 12 inches above the roof line (or the anticipated snow level) and be at least 12 inches from any vertical wall (including any anticipated snow build up).
· A vent termination shall not terminate over public walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor could

Concentric Vent Kits (DCVK) Application
The DCVK-20 and DCVK-30 kit is designed to allow the terminations of a direct vent furnace to be “concentrically” vented through a wall or roof. This kit allows a single penetration to support terminations for both the vent/flue pipe and the combustion air intake pipe.
(DCVK) Vent Termination Clearances
1. Determine termination locations based on clearances specified in furnace installation instructions, and following steps as shown in Figures 1,3,6,7,8 and 9.

These kits are for vertical or horizontal termination of the combustion air inlet and the exhaust vent pipes on Category IV gas-fired condensing furnaces. The DCVK-30 kit can be used for 3″ diameter pipe systems. The DCVK-20 kit can be used for the 2″ diameter pipe system. For the correct pipe size for the furnace. Both the combustion air inlet and the exhaust vent pipes must attach to the termination kit. The termination kit must terminate outside the structure and must be installed per the instructions outlined below for vertical or horizontal termination. Vertical termination is preferred. Field supplied pipe and fittings are required to complete the installation.

Concentric Sidewall Vent Kit (0170K00000S) This (sidewall only) vent kit is to be used with 2″ – 3″ vent systems. The vent kit must terminate outside the structure and may be installed with the intake and exhaust pipes located side- by side or with one pipe above the other. This kit is NOT intended for use with single pipe (non-direct vent) installations.
Condensate Drain Lines and Drain Trap A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by extracting almost all of the heat from the products of combustion and cooling them to the point where condensation takes place. The condensate which is generated must be piped to an appropriate drain location.

Drain Information for Horizontal Installations NOTE: Horizontal installations require 5.5″ under the furnace to accommodate the drain trap. The horizontal furnace must be installed with ¾” slope from back to front to permit condensate flow towards the front of the furnace. When installing a MSS9 horizontally with the left side down, there are two options for connecting the vent pipe to the furnace.
Option 1 Venting may be connected to the furnace vent pipe fitting on the original top (now the end) of the furnace.
Option 2 The internal vent pipe and elbow may be removed from the furnace to permit the vent to exit the top (original side) of the furnace. If this option is used, an RF000142 Vent-Drain coupling must be used to keep condensate from collecting in the inducer assembly. To install the drain, refer to the following instructions and illustration. 1. Remove screws from vent flange.
2. Remove internal elbow and vent pipe.
3. Cut pipe 2 1/2″ from flange.
4. Remove cabinet plug adjacent to inducer outlet and install an original cabinet vent hole.
5. Install RF000142 coupling on inducer outlet.
6. Install flanged vent section removed in step 2 and secure with clamps.
7. Secure flange to cabinet using screws removed in step 1.

WARNING
IN UPRIGHT UPFLOW INSTALLATIONS, THE DRAIN TRAP MUST BE MOUNTED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE UNIT FROM THE JUNCTION BOX. THIS WILL
REDUCE THE RISK OF WATER REACHING THE JUNCTION BOX IN THE EVENT OF
A BLOCKED DRAIN CONDITION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAN RESULT IN POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
· If the drain line is routed through an area which may see temperatures near or below freezing, precautions must be taken to prevent condensate from freezing within the drain line.
· If an air conditioning coil is installed with the furnace, a common drain may be used. An open tee must be installed in the drain line, near the cooling coil, to relieve positive air pressure from the coil’s plenum. This is necessary to prohibit any interference with the function of the furnace’s drain trap.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

In some areas the gas supplier may artificially derate the gas in an effort to compensate for the effects of altitude. If

the gas is artificially derated, the appropriate orifice size must be determined based upon the BTU/ft3 content of the derated gas and the altitude. Refer to the National Fuel

Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, and information provided by the gas supplier to determine the proper orifice

size.

A different pressure switch may be required at high altitude

regardless of the BTU/ft3 content of the fuel used. Refer to the product Specification Sheet or Technical Manual for a

tabular listing of appropriate altitude ranges and corresponding manufacturer’s pressure switch kits.

GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING The furnace rating plate includes the approved furnace gas
input rating and gas types. The furnace must be equipped to

PROPANE GAS CONVERSION

operate on the type of gas applied. This includes any conversion kits required for alternate fuels and/or high altitude.

WARNING

CAUTION
TO PREVENT UNRELIABLE OPERATION OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, THE INLET
GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE MUST BE AS SPECIFIED ON THE UNIT RATING PLATE
WITH ALL OTHER HOUSEHOLD GAS FIRED APPLIANCES OPERATING.
Inlet gas supply pressures must be maintained within the ranges specified below. The supply pressure must be constant and available with all other household gas fired appliances operating. The minimum gas supply pressure must be maintained to prevent unreliable ignition. The maximum must not be exceeded to prevent unit overfiring.
INLET GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE Natural Gas Minimum: 4.5″ w.c. Maximum: 10.0″ w.c.
Propane Gas Minimum: 11.0″ w.c. Maximum: 13.0″ w.c.
HIGH ALTITUDE DERATE When this furnace is installed at high altitude, the appropriate High Altitude orifice kit must be applied. This is required due to the natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and combustion air as altitude increases. The kit will provide the proper design certified input rate within the specified altitude range. High altitude kits are purchased according to the installation altitude and usage of either natural or propane gas. Refer to the product Specification Sheet or Technical Manual for a tabular listing of appropriate altitude ranges and corresponding manufacturer’s high altitude (Natural, Propane gas, and/ or Pressure Switch) kits. Do not derate the furnace by adjusting the manifold pressure to a lower pressure than specified on the furnace rating plate. The combination of the lower air density and a lower manifold pressure will prohibit the burner orifice from drawing the proper amount of air into the burner. This may cause incomplete combustion, flashback, and possible yellow tipping.

POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR IF THE CORRECT CONVERSION KITS ARE NOT INSTALLED. THE APPROPRIATE KITS MUST BE APPLIED TO INSURE SAFE AND PROPER FURNACE OPERATION. ALL
CONVERSIONS MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER OR SERVICE
AGENCY.
This unit is configured for natural gas. The appropriate manufacturer’s propane gas conversion kit, must be applied for propane gas installations. *SS9 models using a White-Rodgers 36J22 single stage valve use LPM-07 LP Conversion Kit.
GAS VALVE This unit is equipped with a 24 volt gas valve controlled during furnace operation by the integrated control module. As shipped, the valve is configured for natural gas. The valve is field convertible for use with propane gas by using the appropriate propane gas conversion kit. Taps for measuring the gas supply pressure and manifold pressure are provided on the valve.
NOTE: The gas supply pressure on White-Rodgers “J” model gas valve, used on single stage furnaces, can be checked with a gas pressure test kit (Part

To connect the furnace to the building’s gas piping, the installer must supply a ground joint union, drip leg, manual shutoff valve, and line and fittings to connect to gas valve. In some cases, the installer may also need to supply a transition piece from 1/2″ pipe to a larger pipe size.
The following stipulations apply when connecting gas piping. Refer to the following figures for typical gas line connections to the furnace.
1. Use black iron or steel pipe and fittings for the building piping.
2. Use pipe joint compound on male threads only. Pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of the fuel used.
3. Use ground joint unions.
4. Install a drip leg to trap dirt and moisture before it can enter the gas valve. The drip leg must be a minimum of three inches long.
5. Install a 1/8″ NPT pipe plug fitting, accessible for test gage connection, immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the furnace.
6. Use two pipe wrenches when making connection to the gas valve to keep it from turning. The orientation of the gas valve on the manifold must be maintained as shipped from the factory.
7. Install a manual shutoff valve between the gas meter and unit within six feet of the unit. If a union is installed, the union must be downstream of the manual shutoff valve, between the shutoff valve and the furnace.
8. Tighten all joints securely.

GAS PIPING CHECKS Before placing unit in operation, leak test the unit and gas connections.
WARNING
TO AVOID THE POSSIBLITY OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE, NEVER USE A MATCH
OR OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
Check for leaks using an approved chloride-free soap and water solution, an electronic combustible gas detector, or other approved testing methods. NOTE: Never exceed specified pressures for testing. Higher pressure may damage the gas valve and cause subsequent overfiring, resulting in heat exchanger failure. Disconnect this unit and shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system before pressure testing the supply piping system with pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa). Isolate this unit from the gas supply piping system by closing its external manual gas shutoff valve before pressure testing supply piping system with test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa).
PROPANE GAS TANKS AND PIPING
WARNING
PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND ANY LEAKING GAS CAN SETTLE IN ANY LOW AREAS OR CONFINED SPACES. TO PREVENT PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH DUE TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSED BY A
PROPANE GAS LEAK, INSTALL A GAS DETECTION WARNING DEVICE.
A gas detecting warning system is the only reliable way to detect a propane gas leak. Iron oxide (rust) can reduce the level of odorant in propane gas. Do not rely on your sense of smell. Contact a local propane gas supplier about installing a gas detecting warning system. If the presence of gas is suspected, follow the instructions on this page. All propane gas equipment must conform to the safety standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, NBFU Manual 58. For satisfactory operation, propane gas pressure must be 10 inch WC at the furnace manifold with all gas appliances in operation. Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on three main factors: 1. Vaporization rate, depending on temperature of the liq-
uid, and “wetted surface” area of the container or containers. 2. Proper pressure regulation. (Two-stage regulation is recommended for both cost and efficiency). 3. Pressure drop in lines between regulators, and between second stage regulator and the appliance. Pipe size will depend on length of pipe run and total load of all appliances. Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization, recommended regulator settings, and pipe sizing is avail-

Propane Gas Piping Charts When installing a propane storage tank, the contractor must consider proper tank sizing, safety, efficiency, ground characteristics and aesthetics. For a residential customer, the size may range from 100-1,000 gallons, depending on household use. Typically, a 500 gallon tank is ample for an average four-bedroom home. However, it is best to consult your local propane supplier to ensure the proper sizing for propane storage requirements. Determining the correct tank size for each household is a function of demand, economy, efficiency and convenience. It is a process that requires cooperation between the propane supplier and customer.

Connect hot, neutral, and ground wires as shown in the wiring diagram located on the unit’s blower door. Line polarity must be observed when making field connections. Line voltage connections can be made through either the right or left side pan.

24 VOLT THERMOSTAT WIRING NOTE: Low voltage connections can be made through either the right or left side panel. Wire routing must not interfere with circulator blower operation, filter removal, or routine maintenance.
A 40 V.A. transformer and an integrated electronic control are built into the furnace to allow use with most cooling equipment. Consult the wiring diagram, located in the Technical Manual or on the blower door for further details of 115 Volt and 24 Volt wiring.
THERMOSTAT WIRING The single stage furnace will have a “W” terminal and will use a single stage thermostat. The following drawing illustrates the typical field wiring for a heat only single stage system and a single stage heating/single stage cooling system. Refer to the following figures for proper connections to the integrated control module.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
the heating element. With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other means used to control the flow of air must be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace and, if manually operated, must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.
When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air entering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.

CIRCULATING AIR AND FILTERS
DUCTWORK – AIR FLOW Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for the C.F.M. and external static pressure rating of the furnace. Ductwork should be designed in accordance with the recommended methods of “Air Conditioning Contractors of America” manual D.
A duct system should be installed in accordance with Standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Air Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems, Pamphlets No. 90A and 90B.
A return air filter is not supplied with the furnace. The installer must supply a means of filtering all of the return air. Filter(s) shall comply with UL900 or CAN/ULC-S111 Standards. If the furnace is installed without filters, the warranty will be voided.
Upflow furnaces with air delivery of less than 1800 CFM:
Use one side return or one bottom return ductwork connection.
Upflow furnaces with air delivery of 1800 CFM or higher:
Use two side returns or one side return and one bottom return connection.
Guide dimples locate the side and bottom return cutout locations. Use a straight edge to scribe lines connecting the dimples. Cut out the opening on these lines. An undersized opening will cause reduced airflow. For bottom return connection, remove the bottom of the cabinet before setting the furnace on the raised platform or return air duct.
A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached to the back of the furnace. Supply and return connections to the furnace may be made with flexible joints to reduce noise transmission, if desired. If a central return is used, a connecting duct must be installed between the unit and the utility room wall so the blower will not interfere with combustion air or draft. The room, closet, or alcove must not be used as a return air chamber.
When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, the furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the upstream side of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in

UPRIGHT FILTER INSTALLATIONS Depending on the installation and/or customer preference, differing filter arrangements can be applied. Filters can be installed in the central return register and a side panel external filter rack kit (upflow filter kit # EFR02). As an alternative a media air filter or electronic air cleaner can be used as the requested filter. Refer to the following minimum filter requirement charts for determination of the minimum filter area to ensure proper unit performance. The following figures show possible filter locations. NOTE: A ductwork access door must be used in counterflow applications to allow filter removal. If the filter rack is used, the side of the plenum must be at least as tall as dimension “A” shown in the following illustration. For dimension of “A” refer to the following chart.
Refer to Minimum Filter Area tables to determine filter area requirement. NOTE: Filters can also be installed elsewhere in the duct system such as a central return.
Horizontal Installations Filter(s) must be installed external to the furnace casing for horizontal installations. For most installations it is preferable to use a central return with filters installed in the duct behind the return air grill. In this way filter replacement is relatively simple by merely removing the grille, rather than going into the attic or crawl space.
ADDITIONAL FILTERING ACCESSORIES
External Filter Rack Kit (EFR02) The external filter rack kit is intended to provide a location external to the furnace casing, for installation of a permanent filter on upflow model furnaces. The rack is designed to mount over the indoor blower compartment area of either side panel, and provide filter retention as well as a location for attaching return air ductwork.
Electronic Air Cleaner (ASAS and GSAS) or Media
Air Cleaner (AMU and GMU) The electronic air cleaner and media air cleaner are multipositional high efficiency air filtration devices that can be installed in any position, except with the access door facing down. The best location for the air cleaner is in the return air duct next to the blower compartment. Before installing the air cleaner, consider the application. The electronic air cleaner must be readily accessible for periodic inspection and cleaning of the pre-filters and electronic cells

SYSTEM OPERATION

HEATING – Abnormal Operation
The following presents the probable causes of questionable furnace operation and how to fix them. Look through the observation window in the blower access door and make a note of the number of flashes in sequence between pauses. Next, refer to the Troubleshooting Chart on the following pages for an interpretation of the LED signals and to the information in this section for a description of the problem.
1. Internal Control Failure with Integrated Ignition Control. Check for voltage to the furnace and low voltage at the control board. Check for blown fuse on the control board. If the control determines it has an internal fault, it enters a locked-out state. Any of the situations mentioned will cause the diagnostic LED to provide no signal. The control board should only be replaced after all other checks from the Troubleshooting Chart have been verified.
2. System Lockout. If a flame is not sensed during the first seven (4) seconds after the gas valve is energized, the control turns off the gas. There will then be a 30 second delay while the induced draft blower is energized to purge the heat exchanger. The ignitor will next be energized and preheated. The gas valve will then be energized. If flame is not sensed in seven (4) seconds the gas valve will be de-energized and another purge will occur. The control will cycle the gas valve a total of three (3) times before it determines it cannot establish measurable combustion and enters a locked out state. The diagnostic light code for this problem is one short flash followed by a longer pause. The control can be reset and brought out of lockout mode by turning the thermostat off for more than (5) seconds and less than (20) seconds and then back on. It can also be reset by turning off the electrical disconnect switch to the furnace for a minimum of 5 seconds.
NOTE: The control board will automatically reset one hour after lockout occurs. If the furnace frequently has to be reset, it means that a problem exists that should be corrected. Refer to Troubleshooting Chart on the following pages for aid in determining the cause.
3. Pressure Switch Stuck Closed. If the control senses the pressure switch is closed when the induced draft blower is off, it waits until the fault is corrected. The diagnostic light code for this problem is 2 flashes. The probable cause is either a faulty pressure switch or wiring.
4. Pressure Switch Stuck Open. If, after the induced draft blower is energized, the pressure switch does not close within 5 minutes, the control will go into a 1-hour lockout. The control will automatically reset from lockout and restart the ignition sequence. The diagnostic light code for this problem is three short flashes followed by a pause. The probable causes are either disconnected hose to the pressure switch, faulty pressure switch or wiring, or restricted air intake or flue piping.
32

5. Open Primary or Auxiliary Limit. If the limit control opens, the air circulator blower will be turned on until the limit closes. The induced draft blower will turn off for 5 seconds then turn off. The diagnostic light code for this problem is four short flashes followed by a pause. The probable cause is either low conditioned air flow due to dirty filter or resistance in duct work, faulty limit, faulty blower, or blower speed set to low.
   6. Flame Sensed with No Call for Heat. If the control senses a flame when the gas valve is de-energized, it will run the air circulation blower and the induced draft blower continuously with no further furnace operation. The diagnostic flash code for this is a five flashes. The probable causes are either a short to ground in flame sense circuit, miswiring, lingering burner flame or a slow closing gas valve.
   7. Open Rollout Limit. If the rollout control opens, the air circulator blower will be energized all the time. The diagnostic light code for this problem is six flashes followed by a pause. The probable cause is either restricted flue piping or improper air requirements.
   8. Low Flame Sense Signal. If the furnace continues to operate and the micro- amp signal from the flame sensor falls below specified level, the diagnostic light code for this problem will be seven flashes followed by a pause. The probable cause is either a coated/oxidized sensor, incorrectly positioned sensor in burner flame or lazy burner flame due to improper gas pressure or combustion air.
   9. Igniter circuit or poor ground. Improperly connected igniter, bad igniter or poor ground to the equipment. The diagnostic light code for this problem is eight flashes.
   Combustion Quality
   Combustion quality can be affected by several factors. Major factors are venting and draining.
   Venting
   The venting system should be planned and installed with the following in mind;
   · Should not be longer than necessary
   · Use 45°elbows rather than 90° elbows when possible
   · Must not sag or otherwise trap condensate
   · Use longest radius fittings possible
   · If using 3″ venting, make the transition from 2″ to 3″ as close as practically possible
   · Make sure there is no flue gas recirculation into the combustion air pipe

e

SYSTEM OPERATION
Condensate Drainage
Furnace combustion can be affected if a furnace is holding condensate. Check for proper connections of drain hoses, make sure furnace condensate trap is clean. Make sure furnace is not improperly sloped. Make sure air conditioning coil drain is not interfering with furnace drain.
Other Causes
1. Manifold Gas Pressure must be set for the gas being used, Natural or L.P., high and low firing rates. If converted to L.P. gas, check size of all orifices
2. Remove Draft Inducer, Check the integrity of the gasket between the inducer and the collector box cover, any air leak here will have a negative effect on combustion. Check the orifice hole in the collector box, it must be free of burrs on both sides
3. Make sure burners are clean, not out of position and line up correctly with exchanger tubes, including the heat exchanger orifice plate between the burners and the heat exchanger tubes, make sure it is not loose, missing a screw or hanging down between the burners and heat exchangers causing flame impingement.
4. Make sure the field installed gas line is not binding and causing distortion of burner assembly
5. If the furnace is installed as a one pipe system; make sure the surrounding area and structure are adequate to provide combustion air
6. Make sure there are no cabinet air leaks allowing supply air to affect combustion
7. If heat exchanger integrity is uncertain, follow procedures in Service Bulletin SF-041

SERVICING
As more and more electronic’s are introduced to the Heating Trade, Polarization of incoming power and phasing of primary to secondary voltage on transformers becomes more important.
Polarization has been apparent in the Appliance industry since the introduction of the three prong plug, however, the Heating Industry does not use a plug for incoming power, but is hard wired.
Some of the electronic boards being used today, with flame rectification, will not function properly and/or at all without polarization of incoming power. Some also require phasing between the primary and secondary sides of step-down transformers.
We recommend that these two items be checked during normal installation and/or service calls. See as follows:
