Intermittent Blower - Cooling
Cooling/heating thermostats have a fan switch that has an ON and
AUTO position. In the AUTO position the thermostat circuit is completed
between terminals R and G when there is a call for cooling. The motor
will operate on the speed tap wire that is connected to the "HI COOL"
cooling terminal on the control board. The fan off setting is fixed at 60
seconds to improve cooling efficiency.
Heating Cycle
When the thermostat switch is set on HEAT and the fan is set on AUTO,
and there is a call for heat, a circuit is completed between terminals R
and W of the thermostat. When the proper amount of combustion air is
being provided, the pressure switch will close, the ignition control pro-
vides a 17-second warm-up period, the gas valve then opens, the gas
starts to flow, ignition occurs and the flame sensor begins its sensing
function. The blower motor will energize 30 seconds after the gas valve
opens, if a flame is detected. Normal furnace operation will continue
until the thermostat circuit between R and W is opened, which causes
the ignition system and gas valve to de-energize and the burner flames
to be extinguished. The vent motor will operate for 15 seconds and the
blower motor will operate for the amount of time set by the fan-off delay
jumper located on the control board. See Figure 7. The heating cycle is
complete, and ready for the start of the next heating cycle.
If the flame is not detected within 2 seconds of the gas valve opening,
the gas valve is shut off and a retry operation begins. If the flame is lost
for 2 seconds during the 10-second stabilization period, the gas valve is
shut off and a retry operation begins. During a retry operation, the vent
motor starts a 15 second inter-purge and the ignitor warm-up time is
extended to 27 seconds. If the flame is established for more than 10
seconds after ignition during a retry, the control will clear the ignition
attempt (retry) counter. If three retries occur during a call for heat, the
furnace will shut down for one hour. If at the end of the one hour shut
down there is a call for heat, the furnace will initiate a normal start cycle.
If the problem has not been corrected the furnace will again lockout
after three retries.
A momentary loss of gas supply, flame blowout, or a faulty flame probe
circuit will result in a disruption in the flame and be sensed within 1 sec-
ond. The gas valve will de-energize and the control will begin a recycle
operation. A normal ignition sequence will begin after a 15 second inter-
purge. If during the five recycles the gas supply does not return, or the
fault condition is not corrected the ignition control will lockout for one
hour.
During burner operation, a momentary loss of power for 50 milliseconds
or longer will de-energize the gas valve. When the power is restored,
the gas valve will remain de-energized and the ignition sequence will
immediately restart.

Hot Surface Ignition System
AWARNING
HOT SURFACE IGNITION SYSTEM
Do not attempt to light this furnace by hand (with a
match or any other means). There may be a potential
shock hazard from the components of the hot surface
ignition system. The furnace can only be lit automatically
by its hot surface ignition system.
FURNACE CONTROL DIAGNOSTICS
The furnace has built-in, self-diagnostic capability. If a system problem
occurs, a blinking LED shows a fault code. The LED can flash red,
green or amber to indicate various conditions. It is located behind a
clear view port in the blower compartment door.
The control continuously monitors its own operation and the operation
of the system. If a failure occurs, the LED will indicate the failure code. If
the failure is internal to the control, the light will stay on continuously. In
this case, the entire control should be replaced, as the control is not
field repairable.
Flash sequence codes 1 through 11 are as follows: LED will turn "on" for
1/4 second and "off" for 1/4 second. This pattern will be repeated the
number of times equal to the code. For example, six "on" flashes equals
a number 6 fault code. All flash code sequences are broken by a 2 sec-
ond "off" period.
SLOW GREEN FLASH: Normal operation.
SLOW AMBER FLASH: Normal operation with call for heat.
RAPID RED FLASH: Twinning error, incorrect 24V phasing. Check
twinning wiring.
RAPID AMBER FLASH: Flame sense current is below 1.5 microamps.
Check and clean flame sensor. Check for proper gas flow. Verify that
current is greater than 1.5 microamps at flame current test pad.
4 AMBER FLASHES: The control board is recieving a "Y" signal from
the thermostat without a "G" signal, indicating improper thermostat wir-
ing.
1 RED FLASH: This indicates that flame was sensed when there was
not a call for heat. With this fault code the control will turn on both the
inducer motor and supply air blower. A gas valve that leaks through or
is slow closing would typically cause this fault.
2 RED FLASHES: This indicates that the normally open pressure
switch contacts are stuck in the closed position. The control confirms
these contacts are open at the beginning of each heat cycle. This would
indicate a faulty pressure switch or miswiring.
