R80ESN/R80ESL(Series A): Installation, Start–Up, Operating and Service and Maintenance Instructions
Adjustments
Furnace gas input rate on rating plate is for installations at altitudes up to
2000 ft. (610 M). Furnace input rate must be within +/-2 percent of
furnace rating plate input.
WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in injury, death and/or
property damage.
DO NOT bottom out gas valve regulator adjusting screw. This can
result in unregulated manifold pressure and result in excess overfire and
heat exchanger failures.
1. Determine the correct gas input rate.
The input rating for altitudes above 2,000 ft. (610 M) must be
reduced by 4 percent for each 1,000 ft. (305 M) above sea level. For
installations below 2000 ft. (610 M), refer to the unit rating plate.
For installations above 2000 ft. (610 M), multiply the input on the
rating plate by the de-rate multiplier in
input rate.
CAUTION
!
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace life.
DO NOT redrill orifices. Improper drilling (burrs, out-of-round holes,
etc.) can cause excessive burner noise and misdirection of burner
flames. This can result in flame impingement of heat exchangers,
causing failures (see Fig. 45).

2. Determine the correct orifice and manifold pressure adjustment.
There are two different orifice and manifold adjustment tables. All
models in all positions, except Low NOx models in downflow or
horizontal positions, use
Low NOx models in the downflow or horizontal positions must use
Table 12 (21,000 Btuh/Burner). See input listed on rating plate.
a. Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed altitude) from
local gas supplier.
b. Obtain average yearly gas specific gravity from local gas
supplier.
c. Find installation altitude in
d. Find closest natural gas heat value and specific gravity in
Table 11 or Table 12.
e. Follow heat value and specific gravity lines to point of
intersection to find orifice size and manifold pressure settings for
proper operation.
f. Check and verify burner orifice size in furnace. NEVER
ASSUME ORIFICE SIZE. ALWAYS CHECK AND VERIFY.
NOTE: If orifice hole appears damaged or it is suspected to have been
redrilled, check orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of correct size.
Never redrill an orifice. A burr-free and squarely aligned orifice hole is
essential for proper flame characteristics.
g. Replace orifice with correct size if required by
Table 11, Table 12 and
orifices. See EXAMPLE 1.
EXAMPLE 1: (0 to 2000 ft. (0 to 610 M) altitude)
For 22,000 Btuh per burner application use
Heating value = 1000 Btuh/cu ft.
Specific gravity = 0.62
Therefore: Orifice No. 43*
Manifold pressure: 3.7-In. W.C.
*Furnace is shipped with No. 43 orifices.
In this example all main burner orifices are the correct
size and do not need to be changed to obtain proper input rate.
3. Adjust manifold pressure to obtain correct input rate.
a. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to OFF.
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Disconnect 115-v electrical power and install lockout tag before
changing speed tap.
b. Remove manifold pressure tap plug from gas valve (see
c. Connect a water column manometer or similar device to
manifold pressure tap.
d. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to ON.
e. Manually close blower door switch.
f. Set thermostat to call for heat.
g. Remove regulator seal cap and turn regulator adjusting screw
counterclockwise (out) to decrease input rate of clockwise (in) to
increase input rate.
NOTE: DO NOT set manifold pressure less than 3.2-In. W.C. or more
than 3.8-In. W.C. for natural gas at sea level. If manifold pressure is
outside this range, change main burner orifices. Refer to
Table 11, Table 12 and Table
h. Install regulator seal cap.
i. Leave manometer or similar device connected and proceed to
