Installation Requirements

Professional installation recommended. Ensure proper clearances and venting.

  1. Location: Install in dry, level area with adequate combustion air and service access.
  2. Venting: Use approved PVC pipe; maintain proper slope and termination clearances.
  3. Gas Connection: Use black iron pipe with drip leg; pressure test for leaks.
  4. Electrical: Connect to 120V AC power; proper grounding required.
  5. Ductwork: Ensure proper sizing and sealing for optimal airflow.

WARNING! Gas appliances can be dangerous if improperly installed. Use qualified HVAC technician.

First-Time Setup

Initial startup must be performed by qualified technician.

  1. Verify installation: Check all connections, clearances, and venting.
  2. Gas pressure: Adjust manifold pressure to specifications (typically 3.5" WC natural gas).
  3. Electrical: Connect thermostat; set system to heating mode.
  4. Test operation: Start furnace and verify proper ignition sequence.
  5. Airflow: Check temperature rise and adjust blower speed if needed.

CAUTION! Never attempt gas adjustments without proper training and equipment.

Technical Specifications

Controls and Settings

Integrated control board with LED status light. Access door switch for service safety.

Control Board: LED flash codes for diagnostics, DIP switch settings for blower speeds and timing.

Thermostat Settings: Heat/Off/Auto fan modes. Blower Settings: Adjustable heating and cooling speeds via DIP switches. Limit Controls: Automatic high-limit protection. Pressure Switches: Verify inducer operation and venting.

Operating Instructions

Normal operation controlled by thermostat. System follows predetermined sequence.

  1. Thermostat Call: Set thermostat above room temperature for heat demand.
  2. Inducer Start: Blower purges heat exchanger for 30-60 seconds.
  3. Ignition: Hot surface igniter glows, gas valve opens.
  4. Flame Detection: Flame sensor confirms ignition within trial period.
  5. Blower Operation: Blower starts after heat exchanger warm-up delay.
  6. Cycle Completion: System shuts down when thermostat satisfied.

Tip: Allow system to complete full cycle; frequent cycling reduces efficiency.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity.

  1. Monthly: Check and replace air filter as needed.
  2. Seasonal: Inspect burners, heat exchanger, and venting.
  3. Annual: Professional inspection and cleaning recommended.
  4. Blower: Clean blower wheel and housing annually.
  5. Drain System: Clear condensate trap and drain line.

WARNING! Turn off power and gas supply before performing any maintenance.

Safety Features

Multiple safety systems protect against hazardous conditions.

Safety DeviceFunction
Flame Rollout SwitchDetects improper burner flames
High Limit SwitchPrevents overheating
Pressure SwitchesVerify proper venting operation
Flame SensorConfirms burner ignition
