ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to unit
components.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing to
protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will pre-
vent 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
electrostatic potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects may
be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR ANY
WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR TO DIS-
CHARGING 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 ungrounded
objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with
static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touching
control or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungrounded)
furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container, discharge
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.

INTRODUCTION

The model 58MVB 4-way multipoise, Gas-Fired, Category IV,
direct vent and non-direct vent condensing furnace is available in
model sizes ranging in input capacities of 40,000 to 120,000 Btuh.

APPLICATIONS

Step 1—General
Some assembly and modifications are required for furnaces
installed in any of the 4 applications shown in Fig. 1. All drain and
pressure tubes are connected as shown in Fig. 7. See appropriate
application instructions for these procedures.
MINOR PROPERTY DAMAGE
Failure to follow this caution may result in minor property
damage.
Local codes may require a drain pan under entire furnace and
condensate trap when a condensing furnace is used in an attic
application or over a finished ceiling.
NOTE: In Canada, installations shall be in accordance with
current NSCNGPIC and/or local codes.
Step 2—Upflow Applications
An upflow furnace application is where furnace blower is located
below combustion and controls section of furnace, and conditioned
air is discharged upwards.
CONDENSATE TRAP LOCATION (FACTORY-SHIPPED
ORIENTATION)
The condensate trap is factory installed in the blower shelf and
factory connected for UPFLOW applications. A factory-supplied
tube is used to extend the condensate trap drain connection to the
desired furnace side for field drain attachment. See Condensate
Trap Tubing (Factory-Shipped Orientation) section for drain tube
extension details. (See Fig. 6.)
CONDENSATE TRAP TUBING (FACTORY-SHIPPED
ORIENTATION)
NOTE: See Fig. 7 or tube routing label on main furnace door to
confirm location of these tubes.
1. Collector Box Drain, Inducer Housing Drain, Relief Port, and
Pressure Switch Tubes
These tubes should be factory attached to condensate trap and
pressure switch ready for use in UPFLOW applications. These
tubes can be identified by their connection location and also
by a color label on each tube. These tubes are identified as
follows: collector box drain tube (blue label), inducer housing
drain tube (violet label or molded), relief port tube (green
label), and pressure switch tube (pink label).
2. Condensate Trap Drain Tube
The condensate trap drain connection must be extended for
field attachment by doing the following:
a. Determine location of field drain connection. (See Fig. 2 or
7.)
NOTE: If internal filter or side filter/media cabinet is used, drain
tube should be located to opposite side of casing from return duct
attachment to assist in filter removal.
b. Remove and discard casing drain hole plug button from
desired side.
c. Install drain tube coupling grommet (factory-supplied in
loose parts bag) in selected casing hole.
d. Slide drain tube coupling (factory-supplied in loose parts
bag) through grommet so long end of coupling faces
blower.
e. Cement 2 factory-supplied 1/2-in. street CPVC elbows to
rigid drain tube connection on condensate trap. (See Fig. 7.)
These elbows must be cemented together and cemented to
condensate trap drain connection.
NOTE: Failure to use CPVC elbows may allow drain to kink,
preventing draining.
f. Connect larger diameter drain tube and clamp (factory-
supplied in loose parts bag) to condensate trap and clamp
securely.
g. Route tube to coupling and cut to appropriate length.
h. Attach tube to coupling and clamp securely.
