Circuit Breaker (CB8) Unit Components A 24V circuit breaker is also located in the control box. The switch provides overcurrent protection to the transformer NF80XV unit components are shown in Figure 1. The gas (T1). The breaker is rated 3A at 32V. If the current exceeds valve, combustion air inducer and burners can be accessed this limit the breaker will trip and all unit operation will by removing the access panel.

A solid-state controller is permanently attached to the Indoor Blower Motor motor. The controller is primarily an A.C. to D.C. converter. Converted D.C. power is used to drive the motor. The controller contains a microprocessor which monitors varying conditions inside the motor (such as motor workload).

TEST A Troubleshooting Motor Windings Ensure that motor windings are not damaged by performing Measure the resistance between each of the three motor the following tests: leads (3-pin plug) and the unpainted part of the end shield. NOTE: If your ohm meter is not an auto-ranging type, set If the winding resistance to ground is <100k ohms, it to the highest ohm scale (100k ohms or greater) before replace the motor and control module.
Thermal Switch Heating Components The auto-reset switch is located on the front of the intake air elbow. The switch will safely shut the unit down if excessive temperatures are detected. See Figure 13. Ignitor When the switch senses excessive temperature, the circuit The ignitor is made of durable silicon nitride.

Rate Check When pressure testing gas lines, the gas valve must be disconnected and isolated. Gas valves can be damaged Manifold Pressure Measurement if subjected to more than 0.5 psig (14” W.C.). See Figure To correctly measure manifold pressure, follow the steps 17.
Proper Gas Flow (Approximate) High Altitude Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before checking Units may be installed at altitudes up to 7,500 ft. above gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two revolutions of sea level. See Table 17 for de-rate manifold values. 60K gas through the meter.
