Verifying and Adjusting Temperature Rise
Confi rm the temperature rise through the furnace is
within the limits specifi ed on the furnace rating plate. Any
temperature rise outside the specifi ed limits could result
in premature failure of the heat exchanger.
1.
Place thermometers in the return and supply air
stream as close to the furnace as possible. To avoid
false readings, the thermometer on the supply air
side must be shielded from direct radiation from the
heat exchanger.
2.
Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired
position and run the furnace for 10 to 15 minutes on
high fi re before taking any temperature readings. The
temperature rise is the difference between the supply
and return air temperatures.
For typical duct systems, the temperature rise will fall
within the limits specifi ed on the rating plate with the
blower speed at the factory recommended setting. If
the measured temperature rise is outside the specifi ed
limits, it may be necessary to change the speed of the
blower. NOTE: Lowering the blower speed increases the
temperature rise and a higher blower speed will decrease
the temperature rise.
The furnace is equipped with a multi-speed motor. Heating
and cooling speed selection is made by moving the switches
on the integrated control located in the furnace.
Verifying Burner Operation
The door over the burners may only be open
for inspection purposes only. The door must be
installed during unattended operation.
1.
Remove the burner compartment door.
2.
Set the thermostat above room temperature and
observe the ignition sequence. The burner fl ame
should carry over immediately between all burners
without lifting off, curling, or fl oating. The fl ames should
be blue, without yellow tips.
3.
After validating flame characteristics, change
thermostat setting to below room temperature.
4.
Verify burner fl ame is completely extinguished.
5.
Replace the burner compartment door.
Verifying Operation of the Supply Air Limit Switch
Note: A properly functioning limit switch should turn off
the gas valve when the return is blocked (time depends
on how well the return air is blocked). The circulating air
and combustion blowers should continue to run when the
limit switch opens.
1.
Check the blower door and verify that it is securely
mounted in place and that there is power to the
furnace.

CAUTION:
2.
Block the return airfl ow to the furnace by installing
a close-off plate in place of or upstream of the
fi lter(s).
3.
Set the thermostat above room temperature and
observe the Operating Sequence.
4.
Remove the close-off immediately after the limit switch
opens. If the furnace continues to operate with no
return air, set the thermostat to a temperature below
room temperature, shut off the power to the furnace,
and replace the limit switch.
OPERATING SEQUENCE
The operating sequences for the heating, cooling, and fan
modes are described below. Refer to the fi eld and furnace
wiring diagrams: (Figures 21 - 23, page 24), (Figures 32
- 35, pages 42 - 45) and (Figure 25, page 26).
Heating Cycle
1. The thermostat calls for heat by energizing the W1
terminal with 24VAC.
2. The control checks to see the pressure switch is open.
If the switch is closed, the furnace will shut down for
5 minutes before retrying
3. If the pressure switch is open, the control energizes
the induced draft motor and waits for the pressure
switch to close. The pressure switch must close within
12 seconds.
4. The control runs the inducer for a 30 second pre-purge
time.
5. The control energizes the igniter output for the
appropriate adaptive warm-up time limit.
6. The furnace always ignites the burners in high fi re. If
the call for heat is for low rate, the furnace will move
down to low fi re after the fl ames stabilize.
7. If the fl ame is proved and ignites the gas, the control
de-energizes the igniter. The gas valve and inducer
remains energized. The control goes to blower on
delay.
8. The control energizes the blower on the selected
HEAT speed 30 seconds after the gas valve opened.
The gas valve and inducer remain energized.
9. If there is a call for high fi re, the gas valve moves to the
high fi re position and the blower speeds are increased.
The furnace will remain in high fi re until the demand
for heat is satisfi ed.
10. If autostaging is enabled (single stage thermostat) the
demand for heat has lasted more than the selected
time, the furnace automatically moves up to high fi re.
Autostage times are either SHORT (8 minutes), LONG
(12 minutes) or OFF, depending on the Jumper (P7)
setting on the Furnace Control Board.
11. When the thermostat demand for heat is satisfi ed, the
control de-energizes the gas valve. The inducer output
remains on for a 30 second post-purge period.
