Start-Up (Gas Heat); Checking Gas Heat Input - York Predator ZR series Installaton Manual

5167540-YIM-H-0518
Check blower drive belt tension.
6. Check the unit supply air (CFM).
7. Measure evaporator fan motor's amp draw.
8. Set the room thermostat fan switch to off.
9. Turn unit electrical power off.
Operating Instructions
1. Turn unit electrical power on.
NOTE: Prior to each cooling season, the crankcase heaters
must be energized at least 10 hours before the system
is put into operation.
2. Set the room thermostat setting to lower than the room
temperature.
3. First stage compressors will energize after the built-in time
delay (five minutes).
Post Start Check List
1. Verify proper system pressures.
2. Measure the temperature drop across the evaporator coil.

Start-Up (Gas Heat)

Pre-Start Check List
Complete the following checks before starting the unit.
1. Check the type of gas being supplied. Be sure that it is the
same as listed on the unit nameplate.
2. Make sure that the vent outlet and combustion air inlet are
free of any debris or obstruction.
Operating Instructions
This furnace is equipped with an automatic re-ignition
system. DO NOT attempt to manually light the pilot.
Lighting The Main Burners
1. Turn "OFF" electric power to unit.
2. Turn room thermostat to lowest setting.
3. Turn gas valve counter-clockwise to "ON" position (See
Figure 32).
4. Turn "ON" electric power to unit.
5. If thermostat set temperature is above room temperature,
the main burners will ignite. If a second stage of heat is
called for, the main burners for second stage heat will
ignite for the second stage heat.

Post Start Checklist
After the entire control circuit has been energized and the
heating section is operating, make the following checks:
1. Check for gas leaks in the unit piping as well as the supply
piping.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warning exactly could result
in serious injury, death 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.
2. Check for correct manifold gas pressures. (See CHECKING
GAS INPUT.)
3. Check the supply gas pressure. It must be within the limits
shown on the rating nameplate. Supply pressure should be
checked with all gas appliances in the building at full fire. At
no time should the standby gas pressure exceed 10.5 in. or
the operating pressure drop below 4.5 in for natural gas
units. If gas pressure is outside these limits, contact the
local gas utility or propane supplier for corrective action.
Shut Down
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest temperature setting.
2. Turn "OFF" all electric power to unit.
3. Open gas heat access panel.
4. Turn gas valve clockwise to "OFF" position (See Figures 32
and 33).

Checking Gas Heat Input

Single Stage Gas Heat
This unit has a single stage of gas heat. The intended input for
each furnace is shown in Table 28. The table applies to units
operating on 60 Hz power only.
To determine the rate of gas flow (Single Stage).
1. Turn off all other gas appliances connected to the gas
meter.
2. Turn on the furnace and make sure the thermostat is
calling for heat.
3. Measure the time needed for one revolution of the hand on
the smallest dial on the meter. A typical gas meter has a 1/
2 or a 1 cubic foot test dial.
4. Using the number of seconds it takes for one revolution of
the dial, calculate the cubic feet of gas consumed per hour.
(See example below).
