  • Page 5: Additional Safety Considerations

    Use the following precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the integrated control module from damage. By putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid exposing the integrated control module to electrostatic discharge. This procedure is applicable to both installed and non-installed (ungrounded) furnaces.

  • Page 6: Location Requirements And Considerations

    Refer to Section V, Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements. • The furnace must be level. If the furnace is to be set on a floor that may become wet or damp at times, the furnace should be supported above the floor on a concrete base sized approximately 1-1/2"...

  • Page 7: Furnace Suspension

    Combustion/ ventilation air supply pipes must terminate 12" from top of closet and 12" from floor of closet. DO NOT remove solid base plate for bottom return. • Return air ducts must be completely sealed to the furnace and terminate outside the enclosure. surfaces.

    4. Attach the junction box to the right side of the furnace, using the screws removed in step 2. 5. Check the location wiring. Confirm that it will not be damaged by heat from the burners or by the rotation of the fan.

  • Page 16: Fossil Fossil Application

    OSSIL This furnace can be used in conjunction with a heat pump in a fossil fuel application. A fossil fuel application refers to a combined gas furnace and heat pump installation which uses an outdoor temperature sensor to determine the most cost efficient means of heating (heat pump, gas furnace, or both).

    2,000 feet, refer to the instructions included in the factory authorized high altitude kit (HA-02). It is important to check and adjust the input rate of the furnace to prevent an overfiring situation. Overfiring can cause premature heat exchanger failure. The input is controlled by the supply pressure, orifice size, manifold pressure and heating (calorific) value of the gas.

    80,000 100,000 120,000 In Canada, the series and rating plate input for the furnace apply to installations up to 2,000 feet (610m) above sea level. Kit HA-02 for natural and LP gases is required to convert furnaces from elevations of 2,000 to 4,500 feet (610m to 1,370m). Canadian certification applies to the installations of up to 4,500 feet above sea level.

    UCTWORK Filters must be used with this furnace. Discuss filter maintenance with the building owner. Filters do not ship with this furnace, but must be provided by the installer. Filters must comply with UL900 or CAN/ULCS111 standards. If the furnace is installed without filters, the warranty will be voided.
