Setting the Mode switch to “2 STG” allows the furnace to
operate at the furnace’s highest input AND at an input rate
that is 75% of the highest input rate. For this mode of
operation, the furnace operates at the low input rate for a
pre-determined time period then steps to the high input rate.
Operation is as described under Sequence of Operation
(Integrated Ignition Control) – Mode DIP Switch is set to “2
STG” position.
The time period is determined by the 2 nd Stg Dly DIP switch.
Setting the 2 nd Stg Dly DIP switch to 5 minutes fixes the
delay period at 5 minutes. Setting the 2 nd Stg Dly DIP
switch to Auto enables an algorithm that calculates a delay
period based on the heating cycle time and the total cycle
time. The delay period can range from 1 minute to 12
minutes.

The burner flames should be inspected with the burner com-
partment door installed. Flames should be stable, quiet, soft,
and blue (dust may cause orange tips but they must not be
yellow). Flames should extend directly outward from the burn-
ers without curling, floating, or lifting off. Flames must not
impinge on the sides of the heat exchanger firing tubes.
Check the burner flames for:
1. Good adjustment
2. Stable, soft and blue
3. Not curling, floating, or lifting off.

Auto reset limits are located on or near the blower. To access
this auxiliary limit, disconnect the electrical power and remove
the blower door. The auxiliary limit control is designed to pre-
vent furnace operation in case of main blower failure on hori-
zontal installations. It may also open if the power supply is
interrupted while the furnace is firing. The auxiliary limit control
is suitable for both horizontal right and horizontal left installa-
tions. Regardless of airflow direction, it does not need to be
relocated.

ENERAL
A number of safety circuits are employed to ensure safe and
proper furnace operation. These circuits serve to control any
potential safety hazards and serve as inputs in the monitoring
and diagnosis of abnormal function. These circuits are con-
tinuously monitored during furnace operation by the integrated
control module.

The integrated control module is an electronic device which
controls all furnace operations. Responding to the thermostat,
the module initiates and controls normal furnace operation, and
monitors and addresses all safety circuits. If a potential safety
concern is detected, the module will take the necessary pre-
cautions and provide diagnostic information through an LED.

The primary limit control is located on the partition panel and
monitors heat exchanger compartment temperatures. It is an
automatic reset, temperature sensor. The limit guards against
the overheating resulting from insufficient air passing over the
heat exchanger.
