General; Electrostatic Discharge (Esd) Precautions; Care And Maintenance - Bryant 350MAV Service And Maintenance Procedures Manual

CSA B149.1-00 (NSCNGPIC) in Canada; and the Installation
Standards, Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems
(NFPA 90B) ANSI/NFPA 90B. In Canada, refer to the
CAN/CGA-B/49.1- and .2-M95 National Standard of Canada,
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes (NSCNGPIC). Wear
safety glasses and work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher available
during start-up and adjustment procedures and service calls.

GENERAL

These instructions are written as if the furnace is installed in an
upflow application. An upflow furnace application is where the
blower is located below the combustion and controls section of the
furnace, and conditioned air is discharged upward. Since this
furnace can be installed in any of the 4 positions shown in Fig. 2,
you may need to revise your orientation to component location
accordingly.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic
components. Take precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the furnace electronic control.
Precautions will prevent electrostatic discharges from
personnel and hand tools which are held during the
procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing
the control to electrostatic discharge by putting the
furnace, the control, and the person at the same electro-
static potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. DO NOT TOUCH
THE CONTROL OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE
CONTROL PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY'S
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in
a person's hand during grounding will be satisfactorily
discharged.
3. After touching the chassis you may proceed to service the
control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing that
recharges your body with static electricity (for example; DO
NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT touch un-
grounded objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with
static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touch-
ing control or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (un-
grounded) furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container, dis-
charge your body's electrostatic charge to ground to protect
the control from damage. If the control is to be installed in
a furnace, follow items 1 through 5 before bringing the
control or yourself into contact with the furnace. Put all
used AND new controls into containers before touching
ungrounded objects.
7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources)
may also be used to prevent ESD damage.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

For continuing high performance and to minimize possible furnace
failure, it is essential that maintenance be performed annually.
Consult your local dealer about proper maintenance and mainte-
nance contract availability.
