Installation Requirements

Professional installation required. Ensure proper clearances and local code compliance.

  1. Location: Install in approved locations with proper clearances (see specifications).
  2. Venting: Use approved PVC or CPVC for vent pipes; follow manufacturer specifications.
  3. Gas Connection: Use proper pipe size; pressure test for leaks.
  4. Electrical: 120VAC power supply with proper grounding.
  5. Ductwork: Ensure proper sizing and sealing.

WARNING! Gas appliances can be hazardous; installation must be performed by qualified technician. Carbon monoxide hazard exists with improper installation.

First-Time Setup

Initial startup must be performed by qualified technician.

  1. Verify all connections: Gas, electrical, venting, and ductwork.
  2. Check gas pressure: Adjust manifold pressure per specifications.
  3. Test safety controls: Verify pressure switches, limit controls, and flame rollout.
  4. Program thermostat: Set heating parameters and fan control.
  5. Test operation: Run through complete heating cycle.

CAUTION! Never bypass safety controls. Ensure proper combustion air supply.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Integrated control board with diagnostic LED. Access door switch for safety.

Control Board: LED status light (flash codes for diagnostics), DIP switches for configuration.

Thermostat Settings: Heat mode, fan auto/on, temperature setpoint. Blower Speeds: Multi-tap transformer for heating/cooling speeds. Gas Valve: Manual shutoff, pressure regulator. Limit Controls: High temperature safety, fan control limits.

Venting and Combustion Air

Direct vent system using PVC pipes for intake and exhaust.

  1. Vent Pipe: Use only approved PVC or CPVC material.
  2. Clearances: Maintain proper clearances from combustible materials.
  3. Terminations: Follow manufacturer specifications for vent terminal locations.
  4. Combustion Air: Ensure adequate fresh air supply for proper combustion.

Tip: Vent pipes must be properly supported and sloped for condensation drainage.

Operation Instructions

Normal operation controlled by thermostat.

  1. Set thermostat to desired temperature in HEAT mode.
  2. Furnace will initiate ignition sequence when heat is demanded.
  3. Blower will start after heat exchanger warms up (fan delay).
  4. Furnace will cycle on/off to maintain set temperature.
  5. For continuous fan operation, set thermostat to FAN ON position.

WARNING! Never operate furnace with access panels removed. Carbon monoxide poisoning hazard.

Maintenance Procedures
