Installation Requirements

Unpack and inspect all components. Ensure proper clearances and location requirements.

  1. Location: Install in approved area with proper clearances (minimum 1 inch from combustible materials).
  2. Venting: Install PVC vent pipes according to local codes and manufacturer specifications.
  3. Gas Connection: Use approved gas pipe and fittings; pressure test before operation.
  4. Electrical: Connect to dedicated 120V circuit; proper grounding required.
  5. Ductwork: Ensure proper return and supply duct sizing and sealing.

WARNING! Gas furnaces produce carbon monoxide; proper venting is critical. Only qualified technicians should install.

First-Time Setup

Complete installation verification before initial startup.

  1. Gas pressure adjustment: Set manifold pressure to 3.5" WC for natural gas.
  2. Blower speed settings: Adjust dip switches for proper airflow.
  3. Thermostat wiring: Connect compatible thermostat following wiring diagram.
  4. System checkout: Verify all safety controls and ignition sequence.
  5. Combustion analysis: Verify proper combustion readings.

CAUTION! Test for gas leaks with soap solution before energizing system.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Access control board via front panel. Integrated furnace controller with status LED.

Control Board: POWER switch, status LED, dip switches for blower speeds, diagnostic codes.

Operating Modes: HEAT, COOL, FAN ONLY. Blower Settings: HEAT speed, COOL speed, continuous fan. Temperature Control: Compatible with single-stage and programmable thermostats. Safety Controls: Limit switches, pressure switches, flame sensor, rollout switches.

Connecting Systems

Thermostat: Standard 5-wire connection. Venting: PVC pipe system. Gas: Black iron pipe with sediment trap.

  1. Turn off power and gas supply before making connections.
  2. Follow wiring diagram for thermostat connections (R, W, G, Y, C).
  3. Install condensate drain line with proper trap and routing.
  4. Connect vent pipes with proper slope and supports.

Tip: Use pipe dope approved for natural/LP gas on all threaded connections.

Operating Procedures

Normal heating operation with electronic ignition sequence.

  1. Startup: Thermostat calls for heat, inducer motor starts, pressure switch proves draft.
  2. Ignition: Hot surface igniter glows, gas valve opens, flame established.
  3. Heating: Blower starts after heat exchanger warm-up period.
  4. Shutdown: Thermostat satisfied, gas valve closes, blower continues for cool-down.
  5. Fan Operation: AUTO or CONTINUOUS modes available.

WARNING! Never operate without proper venting and combustion air supply.

Safety Features

Multiple safety systems: Flame rollout switches, high limit switches, pressure switches, flame sensor, condensate overflow switch.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Annual maintenance required for optimal performance and safety.

  1. Filter replacement: Monthly during heating season.
  2. Heat exchanger inspection: Annual visual inspection.
  3. Blower cleaning: Remove and clean annually.
  4. Drain system: Flush condensate trap and lines.
  5. Burner inspection: Clean and verify proper flame pattern.

CAUTION! Turn off power and gas before performing any maintenance.

Regulatory Information

UL certified; meets ANSI Z21.47 standards. CSA certified for Canada. Installation must comply with National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54, local building codes, and manufacturer specifications. For technical support, contact ICP at 1-800-427-3343 or visit www.icpindex.com.

Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
No heatThermostat, power, gas supplyCheck thermostat setting, circuit breaker, gas valve position.
Furnace locks outSafety switch trippedReset power; check status LED for error code.
Blower won't startMotor, capacitor, control boardCheck voltage to motor; inspect capacitor; verify control signals.
Ignition failureGas pressure, igniter, sensorVerify gas pressure; check igniter continuity; clean flame sensor.
Short cyclingDirty filter, airflow issuesReplace filter; check for blocked vents or returns.

Reset: Turn power off for 30 seconds then restore.
