Circulator Blower Speed Facts
1. Motor speed Tap wiring must remain in factory posi-
tion on the control board and motor.
2. There are 4 speed Tap wires to the motor T1, T2, T3,
T4.
3. There are 5 speeds available, depending on DIP switch
settings and found in air flow table for each size fur-
nace.
4. Heating input (W1/ W2) always has priority over all
other thermostat input.
5. Cooling input (YLo/ Y) has priority over continuous fan
input.
6. Continuous fan input (G) has lowest priority.
*The blower speed wiring connections must remain in
factory position.
1. Refer to the air flow table for your specific model fur-
nace.
2. If a cooling or heat pump condensing unit is being used
in conjunction with this furnace, the three DIP switches
in S2 are used to select the proper cooling speeds to
match the outdoor unit size. Typical CFM requirements
are 400 CFM / Ton.
1. Turn OFF power to the furnace.
2. Select the cooling blower speeds that match the instal-
lation requirements from the airflow table in this manual
or the Installation Manual, If factory cooling speeds do
not match the installation requirements, the dip switch
settings must be changed from factory position
3. Turn ON power to furnace.
4. Verify proper temperature rise in heat modes and CFM
in cooling modes
CIRCULATING AIR AND FILTERS
DUCTWORK - AIR FLOW
Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed
for the C.F.M. and external static pressure rating of the fur-
nace. Ductwork should be designed in accordance with the
recommended methods of "Air Conditioning Contractors of
America" manual D.
A duct system should be installed in accordance with Stan-
dards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the In-
stallation of Air Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Venti-
lating Systems, Pamphlets No. 90A and 90B.

WARNING
A return air filter is not supplied with the furnace. The in-
staller must supply a means of filtering all of the return air.
Filter(s) shall comply with UL900 or CAN/ULC-S111 Stan-
,
dards. If the furnace is installed without filters, and is not
.
covered by the warranty.
Upflow furnaces with air delivery of less than 1800 CFM:
Use one side return or one bottom return ductwork connec-
tion.
Upflow furnaces with air delivery of 1800 CFM or higher:
Use two side returns or one side return and one bottom
return connection.
Guide dimples locate the side and bottom return cutout lo-
cations. Use a straight edge to scribe lines connecting the
dimples. Cut out the opening on these lines. An undersized
opening will cause reduced airflow. For bottom return con-
nection, remove the bottom of the cabinet before setting the
furnace on the raised platform or return air duct.
A closed return duct system must be used, with the return
duct connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never
be attached to the back of the furnace. Supply and return
connections to the furnace may be made with flexible joints
to reduce noise transmission, if desired. If a central return
is used, a connecting duct must be installed between the
unit and the utility room wall so the blower will not interfere
with combustion air or draft. The room, closet, or alcove
must not be used as a return air chamber.
When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit,
the furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the
upstream side of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in
the heating element. With a parallel flow arrangement, the
dampers or other means used to control the flow of air must
be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace
and, if manually operated, must be equipped with means to
prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in the
full heat or cool position.
When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return
air entering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.
UPRIGHT FILTER INSTALLATIONS
Depending on the installation and/or customer preference,
differing filter arrangements can be applied. Filters can be
installed in the central return register and a side panel ex-
ternal filter rack kit (upflow filter kit # EFR02 As an alterna-
tive a media air filter or electronic air cleaner can be used
as the requested filter. Refer to the following minimum filter
requirement charts for determination of the minimum filter
area to ensure proper unit performance. The following fig-
ures show possible filter locations.
