only the NFGC, contact the American Gas Association, 400 N.

Capitol Street, N.W., Washington DC 20001 (www.AGA.org.)

Step 3 — Combustion and Ventilation Air

Section 9.3 of the NFGC, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1--2009 Air for

Combustion and Ventilation

Step 4 — Duct Systems

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)

PRECAUTIONS PROCEDURE

FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Improper installation or service of furnace may cause

premature furnace component failure.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.

Follow the Electrostatic Discharge Precautions Procedure

listed below 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

!

1. 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.

2. Firmly touch the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the fur-

nace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in a

person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily dis-
charged.

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

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

DO NOT move or shuffle your feet, do not touch un-
grounded objects, etc.).

4. If you touch ungrounded objects (and recharge your body

with static electricity), firmly touch a clean, unpainted
metal surface of the furnace again before touching control

or wires.

5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungroun-

ded) furnaces.

6. Before removing a new control from its container, dis-

charge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to pro-

tect the control from damage. If the control is to be in-
stalled in a furnace, follow items 1 through 4 before

bringing the control or yourself in contact with the fur-
nace. Put all used and new controls into containers before

touching ungrounded objects.

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

may also be used to prevent ESD damage.
