Leak Check
WARNING:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury 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.
AVERTISSEMENT:
RISQUE D’INDENDIE OU D’EXPLOSION
Si les consignes de sécurité ne sont pas suivies à la
lettre, cela peut entraîner la mort, de graves blessures
ou des dommages matériels.
Ne jamais vérifier la présence de fuites de gaz au
moyen d’une flamme nue. Vérifier tous les raccords
en utilisant une solution savonneuse commerciale
conçue spécialement pour la détection de fuites. Un
incendie ou une explosion risque de se produire,
ce qui peut entraîner la mort, des blessures ou des
dommages matériels.
After the gas piping to the unit is complete, all connections
must be tested for gas leaks. This includes pipe connections
at the main gas valve, emergency shutoff valve and other
gas connectors. A soap and water solution can be applied on
each joint or union using a small paintbrush. If any bubbling
14
is observed, the connection is not sealed adequately and
must be retightened. Repeat the tightening and soap check
process until bubbling ceases.
If pressure testing the gas supply lines at pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (14 inches WC), the unit must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system to
prevent damage to the gas valve.
If the test pressure is less than or equal to 1/2 psig
(14 inches WC), the unit must be isolated from the gas
supply line by closing the manual shut-off valve.
High Altitude Conversion - Natural Gas
Conversion of this unit must be performed by qualified service
personnel, using only approved parts. All installations must be
made in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code and/or
local jurisdiction codes.
WARNING:
The reduction of input rating necessary for high
altitude installation may only be accomplished with
factory supplied orifices. Do not attempt to drill out
orifices in the field. Improperly drilled orifices may
cause fire, explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning,
personal injury or death.
High altitude conversion can be field performed by a simple
adjustment of manifold pressure or a change of the orifices (if
necessary) as described on page 16. The changes required
depend on the installation altitude and the heating value of
the gas (based on sea level) which can be obtained from your
local gas utility. The heating value of gas at high altitude is
always lower than the sea level heating value. Natural Gas
heating values listed in Table 4 (page 15) are based on
sea level values.
For altitudes between 5,000 and 10,000 feet above sea level,
the unit can be converted by changing the orifice and adjusting
the furnace manifold pressure. See Table 4 for the correct
orifice and manifold pressure settings. NOTE: Each unit has
specific orofices.
NOTE: If installing this unit above 2,000 feet, the input rate
must be reduced 4% per 1,000 feet of altitude (Example: 12%
at 3,000 feet, 16% at 4,000 feet, etc). Deration is necessary
to compensate for low atmospheric pressure at high altitudes.
LP / Propane Gas Conversion
WARNING:
This unit was equipped at the factory for use with
natural gas only. A special kit, supplied by the
manufacturer, is required to convert the unit to
operate on LP/propane gas. Failure to use the proper
conversion kit can cause fire, explosion, property
damage, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal
injury, or death.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When converting a low NOx unit
from natural gas to propane (LP) gas, it is necessary to
remove the NOx baffles.
Conversion of this equipment to LP/Propane gas must be
made by qualified service personnel, using approved factory
parts. Conversion to LP can be accomplished by replacing
the natural gas orifices with the appropriate LP/Propane
orifices and then adjusting the manifold pressure (page
16). Conversion to LP/Propane (sea level and high altitude)
is detailed in the installation instructions provided with the
conversion kit. Please follow the instructions provided in
each kit. Approved conversion kits are listed below:

The United States LP/Propane Gas Sea Level and High
Altitude Conversion Kit (P/N 904404A) is for LP/propane
conversion in the United States at altitudes between zero
and 10,000 ft. above sea level.
The Canadian LP/Propane Gas Sea Level and High Altitude
Conversion Kit (P/N 904405A)is for LP/propane conversions
in Canada at altitudes between zero and 4,500 ft. above
sea level.
For installations between zero and 3,999 ft. above sea level,
a #54 drill size orifice should be used. Installations 4,080 ft.
above sea level require a # 55 drill size orifice. Table 5 (page
15) lists the correct orifice size to use at different altitudes.
After changing the orifices, it is required that you measure the
gas input rate by clocking the gas meter and using the local
gas heating value. See Verifying & Adjusting the Firing Rate
section on page 16.

Verify the fan and compressor cycle off with the thermostat.
NOTE: The blower will also stop after a 40 second delay.
System Heating
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2. Follow the procedures given on the operating instruction
label, this manual or attached inside the louvered control
access panel.
3. Set the thermostat above room temperature and verify the
Operating Sequence. See page 17.
4. Verify that the compressor and outdoor fan motor are not

5. After the unit has run for approximately five minutes, set the
thermostat below room temperature and verify the shutdown
sequence; steps 10, 11, & 12 in the Operating Sequence
section on page 17.
Verifying & Adjusting Temperature Rise
Verify the temperature rise through the unit is within the range
specified on the unit data label. Temperature rises outside
the specified range could result in premature heat exchanger
failure.
1. Place thermometers in the return and supply air stream as
close to the unit as possible. The thermometer on the supply
air side must be shielded against direct radiation from the
heat exchanger to avoid false readings.
2. Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired
position. Run the unit for 10 to 15 minutes before taking any
temperature readings. The temperature rise is the difference
between the supply and return air temperatures.
NOTE: For typical duct systems, the temperature rise will fall
within the range specified on the data label (with the blower
speed at the factory recommended setting) shown in Table
8 (page 22). If the measured temperature rise falls outside
the specified range, it may be necessary to change the blower
speed. Lowering the blower speed increases the temperature
rise and a higher speed decreases the temperature rise.
The unit is equipped with a multi speed motor. On units with
ECM type motors, speed selection is made by moving the
leads on the blower motor terminal block. The speed taps
for adjusting the motor speed are shown in Table 8 (page
22). Refer to the Blower Speed section (page 12) for
additional information.
The integrated control starts the circulating air blower 30
seconds after the gas valve is opened. The control is factory
wired to turn the blower motor off 90 - 135 seconds after the
gas valve is closed.
ECM Motors: The heating blower off delay is factory set at 90
seconds. An additional 45 second off delay is programmed
into the ECM blower motor for a total of 135 seconds.
Verifying & Adjusting Firing Rate
CAUTION:
Do not re-drill the burner orifices. If the orifice size
must be changed, use only new orifices.
The firing rate must be verified for each installation to prevent
over-firing of the unit. The firing rate must not exceed the
rate shown on the unit data label. To determine the firing
rate, follow the steps below:
1. Obtain the gas heating value (HHV) from the gas supplier.
2. Shut off all other gas fired appliances.
3. Start the unit in heating mode and allow it to run for at least
3 minutes.
4. Measure the time (in seconds) required for the gas meter
to complete one revolution.
5. Convert the time per revolution to cubic feet of gas per hour
using Table 10 (page 24).
6. Multiply the gas flow rate in cubic feet per hour by the
heating value of the gas in Btu per cubic foot to obtain the
firing rate in Btu per hour. See Example.
Example:
Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with a 1 cubic foot
dial = 40 seconds.
• From Table 10, read 90 cubic feet gas per hour.
Local heating value of the gas (obtained from gas supplier)
= 1,040 Btu per cubic foot.
• Input rate = 1,040 x 90 = 93,600 Btuh.
7. Adjust the manifold pressure if necessary. See Manifold
Pressure Adjustment below. For additional information
about elevations above 2,000 feet, see page 14.
Manifold Pressure Adjustment
The manifold pressure must be set to the appropriate value
for your installation. To adjust the manifold pressure:
1. Obtain the required manifold pressure setting using Table
4 (page 15) for natural gas or Table 5 for LP/propane
gas.
NOTE: The values listed in the tables are based on sea
level values. At higher altitudes, the heating value of gas
is lower than the sea level heating value.
2. Remove the regulator capscrew (Figure 8) from the INLET
side of the regulator.
3. Slowly turn the adjustment screw inside the regulator to
obtain the appropriate manifold pressure.

NOTE: Turning the screw clockwise increases the pressure
and turning the screw counter-clockwise decreases the
pressure. To prevent backing the screw all the way out from
the valve, turn the screw slowly.
4. Replace and tighten the regulator capscrew over the
adjustment screw.
Verifying Over-Temperature Limit Control
Operation
1. Verify the louvered control access panel is in place and that
there is power to the unit.
2. Block the return airflow to the unit by installing a close-off
plate in place of or upstream of the filter.
3. Set the thermostat above room temperature and verify the
units operating sequence on page 17.
NOTE: The over-temperature limit control should turn off
the gas valve within approximately four minutes (exact time
depends on the efficiency of the close-off when blocking the
return air). The circulating air and combustion blowers should
continue to run when the over-temperature limit control switch
opens.
4. Remove the close-off plate immediately after the over-
temperature limit control opens. If the unit operates for more
than four minutes with no return air, set the thermostat below
room temperature, shut off power to the unit, and replace
the over-temperature limit control.
Verifying Burner Operation
WARNING:
Uninsulated live components are exposed when
louvered control access panel is removed.
1. Remove the louvered control access panel and verify there
is power to the unit.
2. Set thermostat above room temperature and observe the
ignition sequence. NOTE: The burner flame should carry
over immediately between all burners without lifting off,
curling, or floating. The flames should be blue, without
yellow tips. Make sure the flame is drawn into the center
of the heat exchanger tube. In a properly adjusted burner
assembly, the flame bends down and to the right at the end
of the heat exchanger tube. The end of the flame will be
out of sight around the bend.
3. After validating flame characteristics, set the thermostat
below room temperature and verify the burner flame
extinguishes completely.
OPERATING SEQUENCE
The operating sequences for the heating, cooling, and fan
modes are described below. Refer to the field and unit wiring
diagram. See Figure 11 (page 26).
Heating Mode
1. On a call for heat, the thermostat closes and applies 24
VAC to the W terminal of the control board.
2. The control board checks for continuity on the 24 VAC limit
control circuit through the over-temperature limit switch and
flame rollout switch in series. If an open limit is detected,
the control board will energize the inducer blower. All other
system functions will be inoperable until the limit circuit
closes. While the limit is open, the red LED will pulse at a
rate of 1 blink per unit time.
3. The furnace control checks for continuity (24 VAC) across
the pressure switch. If the pressure switch is closed, the
heat mode sequence will not continue. If it remains closed
for 10 seconds, the red LED will flash 3 times repetitively
until the fault condition clears.
4. The inducer energizes (if pressure switch is open).
5. The pressure switch will close. If the pressure switch does
not close after 10 seconds, the fault LED will flash 2 times
and the inducer will continue to run until the switch is closed.
6. The inducer will pre-purge for 30 seconds and then the
igniter will start its warm-up as follows:
Initial Power up: After 30 seconds of igniter warm-up, the
gas valves (24 VAC) will open. The igniter circuit will stay
energized for 3 seconds after the gas valve opens.
After Initial Power up: The control has a programmed
adaptive ignition feature which varies the warm-up period
as follows: If ignition is successful the warm-up is reduced
by 3 seconds on each subsequent call for heat until
ignition failure occurs. Upon ignition failure, the warm-up
is increased by 3 seconds on the next try. If successful,
the timing remains fixed at this level. In general, whenever
ignition failure occurs the warm-up interval is increased
by 3 seconds on the next try. And if successful, it remains
there. Minimum and maximum warm-up time limits are set
at 6 and 54 seconds.
7. The furnace control must prove flame via the flame sensor
5 seconds after the gas valves open. If flame is sensed,
burners are on and the igniter cools off. If no flame is sensed,
the gas valve closes immediately and the inducer continues
to run. A second trial for ignition (step 6) begins. If no flame
is sensed on the fifth try for ignition, the furnace control is
locked and the red LED will blink 4 times repetitively. The
thermostat must be opened for at least ten seconds to reset
the furnace control after a lock out. Otherwise, the furnace
will attempt another ignition sequence in 1 hour.
8. After the gas valve opens (30 seconds), the blower will
ramp to the selected airflow and continues to run.
9. When the thermostat has been satisfied, the W terminal on
the integrated control is de-energized.
10. The gas valve circuit is de-energized and the gas valve
closes.
11. The inducer motor will continue to run for the post purge
period of 25 seconds.
12. The main blower will continue to run for the BLOWER OFF
delay of 90 - 135 seconds.
18
13. After the BLOWER OFF timer has been satisfied, the
integrated control de-energizes the main circulating blower
circuit.
Cooling Mode
1. On a call for cooling, the thermostat closes applying 24 VAC
to the G & Y terminals on the low voltage terminal strip.
2. The G terminal applies 24VAC to the G terminal of the
integrated control, energizing the main circulating blower
circuit at the cooling speed.
3. The Y terminal applies 24VAC to the contactor.
4. When the thermostat is satisfied, the contactor and integrated
control de-energize. Compressor and outdoor fan will stop
running.
5. The circulating blower motor de-energizes after a 40 second
delay.
Fan Mode
1. On a call for fan only operation, the thermostat applies 24
VAC to the G terminal connected to the G terminal of the
integrated control.
NOTE: If a call for heat occurs, the circulating blower de-
energizes prior to normal heating cycle.

CAUTION:
The unit should never be operated without a filter
in the return air system. Replace disposable filters
with the same type and size.
Inspect, clean or replace air filters at the beginning of each
heating and cooling season, or more frequently if required.
Refer to Table 1 (page 8) for recommended external
filter sizes
• Inspect the condensate drain and outdoor coil at the
beginning of each cooling season. Remove any debris.
Clean the outdoor coil and louvers as necessary using a
mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly with water.
• Inspect the electrical connections for tightness at the
beginning of each heating and cooling season.
The blower compartment should be cleaned monthly during
the heating and cooling seasons to remove any dirt and lint
that may have accumulated in the compartment or on the
blower and motor. Buildup of dirt and lint on the blower and
motor can create excessive loads on the motor resulting in
higher than normal operating temperatures and possible
shortened service life.
Maintain heat exchanger and burners. The unit should
operate for many years without excessive scale buildup in
the heat exchanger, however, the heat exchanger, the vent
system, and the burners should be inspected and cleaned
(if required) by a qualified serviceman annually to ensure
continued safe operation. Particular attention must be given
to identify deterioration from corrosion or other sources.
The motors for the circulating air blower, outdoor fan, and
combustion blower are pre-lubricated at the factory. No
further oiling is required for the life of this product.
Inspect and clean the screen of the vent cover assembly at
the beginning of each heating and cooling season.
Cleaning of Heat Exchanger
WARNING:
Holes in the heat exchanger can cause products
of combustion to enter the home. Replace the heat
exchanger if leaks are found. Failure to prevent
products of combustion from being circulated into
the living space can create potentially hazardous
conditions including carbon monoxide poisoning
that could result in personal injury or death.
If the heat exchanger must be cleaned due to soot or scale
build up, follow the steps below.
1. Shut off the gas supply to the unit at the meter or at the

COMPONENT FUNCTIONS
Flame Roll-Out Control - The flame roll-out control acts
to verify that the burner flame is being drawn into the heat
exchanger tubes. If the burner flame is not being drawn into
the heat exchanger tubes, the roll-out control will open within
several seconds and the integrated control diagnostic light
will flash one time. The circulating air blower and combustion
blower will continue to operate if the flame roll-out control opens.
Flame Sensor - The flame sensor acts to prove that flame
has carried over from the ignitor to the right-most burner. If
no flame is sensed, the unit will be shut down automatically.
Gas Valve - The gas valve controls the flow of gas to the
burners. When the gas valve is energized it automatically
opens and regulates the gas pressure in the manifold.
Pressure Switch - The pressure switch verifies that the
inducer motor is drawing the combustion gases through the
heat exchanger tubes and venting the gases through the
vent system.
Over-Temperature Limit Control - The over-temperature
limit control prevents the air temperature leaving the unit from
exceeding the maximum outlet air temperature. If the limit
opens, the integrated control diagnostic will flash one time.
The circulating air blower and combustion blower will continue
to operate if the over-temperature limit control opens.
