EXAMPLE:
Btu heating input = Btu/cu ft X cu ft/hr
Heating value of gas = 975 Btu/cu ft
Time for 1 revolution of 2-cu ft dial = 70 sec
Gas rate = 103 cu ft/hr (from Table 9)
Btu heating input = 103 X 975 = 100,425 Btuh
In this example, the orifice size and manifold pressure
adjustment is within ±2 percent of the furnace input rate.

SET TEMPERATURE RISE

Temperature rise must be within limits specified on unit
rating plate. Recommended operation is at midpoint of rise or
above. Failure to follow this caution may result in condensing
or overheating the heat exchangers.
Determine and adjust air temperature rise as follows:
1. Place thermometers in return and supply ducts as close to
furnace as possible. Be sure thermometers do not see heat
exchanger so that radiant heat does not affect readings. This
practice is particularly important with straight-run ducts.
2. When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract return-air tem-
perature from supply-air temperature to determine air tem-
perature rise.
3. Adjust temperature rise by adjusting blower speed. Increase
blower speed to reduce temperature rise. Decrease blower
speed to increase temperature rise.

Disconnect 115-v electrical power before changing speed tap.
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury.
4. To change blower motor speed selections for heating mode,
remove blower motor lead from control center HEAT termi-
nal. (See Fig. 27.) Select desired blower motor speed lead
from 1 of the other terminals and relocate it to HEAT terminal.
See Table 10 for lead color identification. Reconnect original
lead on SPARE terminal.
Follow this same procedure for proper selection of COOL
speed selection.

BLOWER OFF DELAY (HEAT MODE)

The main blower off time delay period is factory-set at 135 sec and
is not field-adjustable.

SET THERMOSTAT HEAT ANTICIPATOR

Thermostat heat anticipator must be set to match amp draw of
components in R-W circuit. Accurate amp draw measurements can
be obtained at thermostat subbase terminals R and W.
Fig. 42 illustrates an easy method of obtaining these measure-
ments. Amp reading should be taken after blower motor has
started. See thermostat manufacturer's instructions for adjusting
heat anticipator and for varying heating cycle length.

This control shuts off combustion control system and energizes
air-circulating blower motor if furnace overheats. Recommended
