Air Conditioner

ACCESSORIES

1. Electronic Air Cleaner (EAC)
Connect an accessory Electronic Air Cleaner (if used) using
1/4-in female quick connect terminals to the two male 1/4-in
quick-connect terminals on the control board marked EAC-1
and EAC-2. The terminals are rated for 115VAC, 1.0 amps
maximum and are energized during blower motor operation.
(See Fig. 32.)
2. Humidifier (HUM)
Connect an accessory 24 VAC, 0.5 amp maximum humidifer
(if used) to the 1/4-in male quick-connect HUM terminal and
C -24V screw terminal on the control board thermostat strip.
OM
The HUM terminal is energized when blower is energized in
heating. (See Fig. 32.)
DO NOT connect furnace control HUM terminal to HUM
(humidifier) terminal on Thermidistat, Zone Controller or
similiar device. See Thermidistat™, Zone Controller, thermo-
stat, or controller manufacturer's instructions for proper
connection.
Step 8—Venting
→
The furnace shall be connected to a factory built chimney or vent
complying with a recognized standard, or a masonry or concrete
chimney lined with a lining material acceptable to the authority
having jurisdiction. Venting into an unlined masonry chimney or
concrete chimney is prohibited.
→
When an existing furnace is removed or replaced in a venting
system, the venting system may not be properly sized to vent the
attached appliances. An improperly sized Category I venting
system could cause the formation of condensate in the furnace and
vent, leakage of condensate and combustion products, and spillage
of combustion products into the living space, etc.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into operation
could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into operation,
while all other appliances connected to the venting system are
not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal
A00275
pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Codes and these instructions. Deter-
mine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage,
corrosion and other deficiencies, which could cause an
unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows
and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s)
connected to the venting system are located and other
spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to
the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they are operating
at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being
inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so appli-
ance is operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the
draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner
operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above
tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance
wit the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Codes.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected
to the venting system properly vents when tested as
outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired burning appli-
ance to their previous conditions of use.
→
Vent system or vent connectors may need to be resized. For any
other appliances when resizing vent systems or vent connectors,
system or connector must be sized to approach minimum size as
determined using appropriate table found in the NFGC or NSC-
NGPIC.
