ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)

PRECAUTIONS

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to unit

components.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.

Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing

to protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will

prevent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand

tools which are held during the procedure. These

precautions will help to avoid exposing the control to

electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace, the control,

and the person at the same electrostatic potential.

CAUTION

!

3. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects

may be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR

ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR
TO

DISCHARGING

YOUR

BODY’S

ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.

4. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the

furnace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in

a person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily
discharged.

5. After touching the chassis, you may proceed to service the

control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing that
recharges your body with static electricity (for example;

DO NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT touch
ungrounded objects, etc.).

6. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with

static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before
touching control or wires.

7. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled

(ungrounded) furnaces.

8. Before removing a new control from its container,

discharge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to
protect the control from damage. If the control is to be

installed in a furnace, follow items 1 through 5 before
bringing the control or yourself into contact with the

furnace. Put all used AND new controls into containers
before touching ungrounded objects.

9. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources)

may also be used to prevent ESD damage.

INTRODUCTION

The model 355CAV Direct Vent, Upflow, Gas--Fired, Category

IV, condensing furnace is available in model sizes ranging in
input capacities of 60,000 to 120,000 Btuh.

APPLICATIONS

General
Some assembly and modifications are required for furnaces

installed in any of the four applications shown in Fig. 1. All

drain and pressure tubes are connected as shown in Fig. 7. See
appropriate application instructions for these procedures.

PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in property

damage.
Local codes may require a drain pan under entire furnace

and condensate trap when a condensing furnace is used in

an attic application or over a finished ceiling.

CAUTION

!

NOTE: In Canada, installations shall be in accordance with
current CAN/CSA--B149.1--05 and/or local codes.

UPFLOW APPLICATION

An upflow furnace application is where furnace blower is located

below combustion and controls section of furnace, and

conditioned air is discharged upwards.
Condensate Trap (Factory--Shipped Orientation)
The condensate trap is factory installed in the blower shelf and
factory connected for UPFLOW applications. A factory--supplied

tube is used to extend the condensate trap drain connection to the
desired furnace side for field drain attachment. See Condensate

Trap Tubing section for drain tube extension details. (See Fig. 6.)
Condensate Trap Tubing (Factory--Shipped Orientation)
NOTE
: See Fig. 7 or tube routing label on main furnace door to
confirm location of these tubes.

1. Collector Box Drain, Inducer Housing Drain, Relief Port,

and Pressure Switch Tubes.
These tubes should be factory attached to condensate trap

and pressure switch ready for use in UPFLOW
applications. These tubes can be identified by their

connection location and also by a color label on each tube.
These tubes are identifed as follows: collector box drain
tube (blue label), inducer housing drain tube (violet label

or molded), relief port tube (green label), and pressure
switch tube (pink label).

2. Condensate Trap Drain Tube

The condensate trap drain connection must be extended
for field attachment by doing the following:

f. Determine location of field drain connection. (See Fig.

2 or 7.)

NOTE: If internal filter or side filter/media cabinet is used, drain
tube should be located to opposite side of casing from return duct
attachment to assist in filter removal.

g. Remove and discard casing drain hole plug button from

desired side.

h. Install drain tube coupling grommet (factory--supplied in

loose parts bag) in selected casing hole.

i. Slide drain tube coupling (factory--supplied in loose parts

bag) through grommet so long end of coupling faces
blower.

j. Cement 2 factory--supplied 1/2--in. (12.7mm) street

CPVC elbows to rigid drain tube connection on
condensate trap. (See Fig. 7.) These elbows must be

cemented together and cemented to condensate trap drain
connection.
