11 - Are flame rollout switches tripped? If flame rollout
switches are tripped, call the service technician for
inspection.
Heating Sequence Of Operation
1 - When thermostat calls for heat, combustion air
blower starts.
2 - Combustion air pressure switch proves blower
operation. Switch is factory-set and requires no
adjustment.
3 - After a 15-second prepurge, the hot surface ignitor
energizes.
4 - After a 20-second ignitor warm-up period, the gas
valve solenoid opens. A 4-second trial for ignition
period begins.
5 - Gas is ignited, flame sensor proves the flame, and
the combustion process continues.
6 - If flame is not detected after first ignition trial,
the ignition control will repeat steps 3 and 4 four
more times before locking out the gas valve
("WATCHGUARD" flame failure mode).The ignition
control will then automatically repeat steps 1
through 6 after a 60 minute.
7 - To interrupt the 60-minute ("WATCHGUARD")
period, move thermostat from "Heat" to "OFF" then
back to "Heat." Heating sequence then restarts at
step 1.

Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before check-
ing gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two revolu-
tions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a
more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time in
table 9 below. If manifold pressure matches table 11 and
rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and
restriction. Remove temporary gas meter if installed.
NOTE - To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas
appliances connected to meter.

Supply Pressure Measurement
A threaded plug on the inlet side of the gas valve provides
access to the supply pressure tap. Remove the threaded
plug, install a field-provided barbed fitting and connect a
manometer to measure supply pressure. Furnace should
operate at least 5 minutes before checking supply pres-
sure. See table 11 for proper supply pressure. Replace
the threaded plug after measurements have been taken
Manifold Pressure Measurement
1 - Remove the threaded plug from the outlet side of
the gas valve and install a field-provided barbed
fitting. Connect to a manometer to measure manifold
pressure.
2 - Start unit and allow 5 minutes for unit to reach
steady state.
3 - While waiting for the unit to stabilize, observe the
flame. Flame should be stable and should not lift
from burner. Natural gas should burn blue.
4 - After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record
manifold pressure and compare to value given in
table 11.
5 - Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an
accurate reading has been obtained. Take care to
replace pressure tap plug.
6 - Start unit and perform leak check. Seal leaks if
found.

Proper Combustion

Furnace should operate a minimum 15 minutes with cor-
rect manifold pressure and gas flow rate before checking
combustion. Take combustion sample beyond the flue out-
let and compare to the tables below. The maximum car-
bon monoxide reading should not exceed 100 ppm.

High Altitude

136
The manifold pressure may require adjustment and com-
bustion air pressure switch may need replacing to ensure
proper combustion at higher altitudes. Refer to table 11
for manifold pressure and table 12 for pressure switch
change and gas conversion kits.
For safety, shut unit off and remove manometer as soon
as an accurate reading has been obtained. Take care to
replace pressure tap plug.
