Sequence Of Operation Gsr21V; Operation Sequence Gsr21V With Gc3 Ignition Control - Lennox G21Q3-40 Unit Information

E−OPERATION SEQUENCE GSR21V WITH GC3 IGNITION CONTROL
This flowchart is used to show the step by step sequence that takes place when thermostat demand
is sent to the GSR21V. The sequence describes the actions of devices in the unit which control
blowers, fans, gas valve and other components in the system. The sequence is outlined by num
bered steps which correspond to circled numbers on the adjacent diagram.
NOTE−If a single stage thermostat is to be used, the heating blower jumper should be in position #
1. This forces the blower to run on the high speed heat tap and stops frequent cycling which would
occur. When the blower operates on the low speed heat/cool tap, reduced airflow causes heat
exchanger temperatures to rise above the modulation control (S78) setpoint. The upper modula
tion limit will trip interrupting the W1 signal and energizing the blower. As the blower continues to
run and the temperatures decrease, the lower modulation limit will trip resetting the W1 signal if
there is still a call for heat.
If in a non zoning application and no modulation of heat exchanger is desired, then the heat de
mand from the thermostat should be wired to terminal NM instead of W1.
NOTE−This is a basic operation sequence for the GSR21V. The thermostat shown is a basic elec
tromechanical thermostat .
Operation Sequence
1− Line voltage feeds through door interlock switch S51. The blower access panel must be in place to
energize the unit. (NOTE− Blower motor is always energized, S51 does not interrupt power to
blower motor.)
2− Line voltage energizes transformer T1. Transformer T1 provides 24VAC power to all unit controls,
terminal strip. Thermostat is energized after 24 VAC passes through normally closed primary limit
S10.

(APPLICATIONS WITH A SINGLE STAGE THERMOSTAT)
3− Heating demand initiates at W1 in the thermostat..
4− Voltage passes through modulating control switch S78 to energize ignition control A3.
5− Combustion air blower B6 is energized for 30 + 5 seconds by ignition control A3.
6− Gas valve GV1 is energized by terminal 3 of ignition control A3.
7− Attempts for ignition occur. Internal Watchguard is enabled only if ignition fails to light unit (5 tries).
Watchguard will break and remake thermostat demand in 60 + 5 minutes.
8− Combustion air blower B6 and ignition control A3 are de energized .5 seconds after ignition is
sensed or after 8.0 seconds if ignition is not sensed. (Early GC 3, in later versions and G891 spark
for a full 8 seconds even if ignition is sensed)
9− VSP2 internal circuitry starts blower on low speed heat/cool tap after a 45 second delay. After
approximately 3−10 minutes heat exchanger temperatures will have risen to the set point of modu
lation control S78.
10− S78 will open, interrupting signal to VSP2 and in turn ignition control A3 is de energized closing
gas valve.
11− Combustion air blower B6 is energized for 30 + 5 seconds by ignition control A3.
12− VSP2 internal circuitry forces blower to operate on low speed heat/cool tap, reducing heat ex
changer temperature.
13− When heat exchanger temperature falls below the modulation control set point, modulation limit
S78 closes and signal to VSP2 is remade. If there is still a call for heat, unit will attempt ignition and
operate until S78 cycles again.
Heating Single Stage − Heating Blower jumper in position # 1
(APPLICATIONS WITH A SINGLE STAGE THERMOSTAT)
14− The thermostat calls for heat (W1). Ignition is established. See steps 3−8.
15− Internal circuitry of the VSP2 forces the blower to run on high speed heat tap.
16− Heat exchanger temperatures are kept below modulation control S78 opening set point. Modula
tion control S78 is now acting as a safety limit.

Sequence of Operation GSR21V

Heating Two Stage (APPLICATIONS WITH A TWO STAGE THERMOSTAT / NM CAN NOT BE
USED WITH TWO−STAGE) − Heating Blower jumper in position # 2.
Stage One:
17− The thermostat calls for heat (W1). Ignition is established. See steps 3−9.
18− The unit operates in the first stage of heating. See steps 10 13.
Stage Two:
19− The thermostat calls for heat (W2). Ignition is established. See steps 3−9.
20− Pin 3 of VSP2 is energized. Internal circuitry of the VSP2 forces the blower to run on high speed
heat tap.
21− Heat exchanger temperatures are kept below modulation control S78 opening set point.
Heating Single Stage (NO MODULATION) − Heating Blower jumper in position # 1, W1 to NM
22− The thermostat calls for heat (W1 to NM). See steps 3−8.
23− Internal circuitry of the VSP2 forces the blower to run on high speed heat tap.
Heating Single Stage (NO MODULATION) − Heating Blower jumper in position # 2, W1 to NM
24− The thermostat calls for heat (W1 to NM). See steps 3−8.
25− Internal circuitry of the VSP2 forces the blower to run on low speed (heat/cool) tap.
Heating Zone Control System Used−Heating Blower jumper in position # 2.
Stage One:
26− The thermostat calls for heat (W1). Ignition is established. See steps 3−9.
27− When the Harmony Zone Control System is used, the motor does not run at the low speed heat/
cool or the high speed heating tap. Zone controller internal circuitry provides the DS terminal (Pin
4) to control blower speed based upon zone demands. Speed is determined by a PWM signal.
Blower speed is based on the PWM signal determined by the number of zones calling.
End of Heating Demand:
28− Heating demand is satisfied. Ignition control A3 is de−energized. Gas valve GV1 closes. Pulse
cycle stops.
29− Combustion air blower B6 is energized for 30 + 5 seconds by ignition control A3.
30− VSP2 internal circuitry continues to power blower motor B3 on low speed heat/cool tap for the ad
justable time 90−330 seconds. After the adjustable delay, B3 is de energized.
Blower Only:
31− Blower demand G originates in the thermostat. Terminal 2 of VSP2 is energized.
32− VSP2 internal circuitry forces blower to operate on low speed heat/cool tap.
