NOTE – Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature rise (high and low fire) within the range(s) specified on the unit nameplate. Failure to do so may cause erratic limit operation. Canada The unit is CSA International (CSA) certified for combina-tion heating/cooling for outdoor installations and non-res-idential use only at the clearances to combustible materi-als as listed on the unit nameplate. Installation of CSA international certified units must con-form with current standard CSA B149.1, “Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes” and applicable local codes. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installation. The unit must be wired and electrically grounded accord-ing to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, cur-rent CSA Standard C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1. Installation of combination heating/cooling units must also conform with current CSA Standard B52 “Mechanical Refrigeration Code.”

Connect Gas Piping

A manual main shut-off valve must be installed external to the unit when local codes require the installation of such a valve. Install a ground joint union between the gas control mani-fold and the main manual shut-off valve. When making piping connections a drip leg should be in-stalled on vertical pipe runs to serve as a trap for sediment or condensate. A 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tap is located on gas valve for test gauge connection. See Figure 4 through Figure 8 for tap location. See Figure 9 for gas supply piping entry through the side of the unit and Figure 10 for gas piping through the bottom of the unit. A kit is required when routing gas supply piping through the bottom of the unit. Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the actions of liquified petroleum gases.

High Altitude Derate – ULNOx Units

Ultra-Low NOx units are approved for installations from 0 -4500 ft. No modifications are required. Above 2000 ft, the furnace will naturally de-rate approximately 10%.

Pressure Test Gas Piping

Operating pressures at the unit gas connection must be as shown in table 2.

When testing the pressure of gas lines, the gas valve must be disconnected and isolated. Gas valves can be dam-aged if subjected to more than 0.5 psig.

WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property damage. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially available soap solution made specifically for the detection of leaks to check all connections. A fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

Two-Stage Gas Valve Adjustment

Gas manifold pressures should match pressures shown in table 3. On two stage gas valves, initiate a W2 thermostat demand to check high fire pressure before low fire pres-sure. With high fire operating, reduce the thermostat de-mand to W1 and check the low fire pressure. Refer to the Unit Controller manual to initiate a thermostat demand.
IMPORTANT – Do not set low fire pressure lower than the certified minimum input rating listed in table 3.

Gas Heat Operation

Non-ULNOx Units
See the operating instruction plate on the unit for details.
ULNOx Units
Use the following steps to correctly measure manifold pressure:

  1.  Remove the threaded plug from the outlet side of the gas valve and install a field-provided barbed fitting. Connect measuring device “+” connection to barbed fit-ting to measure manifold pressure. Start unit and allow 5 minutes for unit to reach steady state.
  2.  After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record manifold pressure and compare to value given in table
  3.  Make manifold adjustment if necessary
  4.  Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an accurate reading has been obtained.

TABLE 4
ULNOx Manifold Pressures (in.w.c.)

High Fire 3.2-3.6
Low Fire 1.7-2.1

Proper Combustion – ULNOx Units
Restart unit and check for any gas leaks. Seal any leaks if found. Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct manifold pressure and gas flow rate before checking combustion. Table 5 shows acceptable combustion. The maximum carbon monoxide reading should not exceed 100 ppm.
TABLE 5
CO2 RATES (ppm)

High Fire 6.0-7.5
Low Fire 6.0-7.5 (CO2 tracks)

ULNOx Operation
ULNOx units are not equipped with gas orifices that sup-ply each burner. Instead, a single gas orifice supplies gas to the air/gas elbow. An intake air orifice supplies combus-tion air to the air/gas elbow. The combustion air blower draws the air/gas mixture from the air/gas elbow into the air/gas plenum box. When the spark ignites the gas, the ignition sensor proves the flame and combustion occurs in the burner premix plate. The burner box liner directs the flames into the burner tube sleeves.

Proper Gas Flow (Approximate)

  1.  Operate unit at least 15 minutes before checking gas flow. Determine the time in seconds for two revolutions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a more accurate time.) A portable LP gas meter (17Y44) is available for LP applications.
  2.  Divide the number of seconds by two and compare to the time in table 6. If manifold pressure is correct and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and restriction.
  3.  Remove temporary gas meter if installed.
    NOTE – To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas appliances connected to meter. Unit Input Rate (Btuh)| Seconds for One Revolution
