EXAMPLE: Assume that the size of test dial is 1 cu ft, one
revolution takes 32 sec, and the heating value of the gas is 1050

Btu/ft

3

. Proceed as follows:

1. 32 sec. to complete one revolution.
2. 3600 ÷ 32 = 112.5.
3. 112.5 x 1 =112.5 ft

3

of gas flow/hr.

4. 112.5 x 1050 = 118,125 Btuh input.

If the desired gas input is 115,000 Btuh, only a minor change in the

manifold pressure is required.
Observe manifold pressure and proceed as follows to adjust gas

input:

1. Remove regulator cover screw over plastic adjustment

screw on gas valve (See Fig. 12).

2. Turn plastic adjustment screw clockwise to increase gas

input, or turn plastic adjustment screw counterclockwise to
decrease input (See Fig. 12). Manifold pressure must be

between 3.2 and 3.8 IN. W.C.

FIRE AND UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury or death and/or property damage.
Unsafe operation of the unit may result if manifold pressure

is outside this range.

WARNING

3. Replace regulator cover screw on gas valve (See Fig. 12).
4. Turn off gas supply to unit. Remove manometer from

pressure tap and replace pipe plug on gas valve. (See Fig.

11.) Turn on gas to unit and check for leaks.

Measure Manifold Pressure (Propane Units)
Refer to propane kit installation instructions for properly checking

gas input.
NOTE: For installations below 2,000 ft (610 m), refer to the unit
rating plate for proper propane conversion kit. For installations
above 2,000 ft (610 m), contact your distributor for proper propane
conversion kit.

Check Burner Flame

With control access panel (see Fig. 18) removed, observe the unit

heating operation. Watch the burner flames to see if they are light
blue and soft in appearance, and that the flames are approximately

the same for each burner. Propane will have blue flame (See Fig.

10). Refer to the Maintenance section for information on burner
removal.

Normal Operation

An LED (light--emitting diode) indicator is provided on the
integrated gas unit controller (IGC) to monitor operation. The IGC

is located by removing the control access panel (see Fig. 18).
During normal operation, the LED is continuously on (See Table 5

for error codes).

Airflow and Temperature Rise

The heating section for each size unit is designed and approved for
heating operation within the temperature--rise range stamped on the

unit rating plate.
Table 7 shows the approved temperature rise range for each heating

input, and the air delivery cfm at various temperature rises for a

given external static pressure. The heating operation airflow must
produce a temperature rise that falls within the approved range.
Refer to Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments section to adjust
heating airflow when required.

Limit Switches

Normally closed limit switch (LS) completes the control circuit.

Should the leaving--air temperature rise above the maximum
allowable temperature, the limit switch opens and the control

circuit “breaks.” Any interruption in the control circuit instantly

closes the gas valve and stops gas flow to the burners. The blower
motor continues to run until LS resets.
When the air temperature at the limit switch drops to the
low--temperature setting of the limit switch, the switch closes and

completes the control circuit. The direct--spark ignition system
cycles and the unit returns to normal heating operation.

NOTES:

1.This code indicates an internal processor fault that will reset itself in one

hr. Fault can be caused by stray RF signals in the structure or nearby. This

is a UL requirement.

2. LED indicates acceptable operation. Do not change ignition control

board.

3. When W is energized the burners will remain on for a minimum of 60 sec.

4. If more than one error mode exists they will be displayed on the LED in

sequence.

Rollout Switch

The function of the rollout switch is to close the main gas valve in

the event of flame rollout. The switch is located above the main
burners. When the temperature at the rollout switch reaches the

maximum allowable temperature, the control circuit trips, closing
the gas valve and stopping gas flow to the burners. The indoor

(evaporator) fan motor (IFM) and induced draft motor continue to

run until switch is reset. The IGC LED will display FAULT CODE
7.

Step 4 — Start--up Cooling and Make Adjust-

ments

Complete the required procedures given in the Pre--Start--Up
section before starting the unit. Do not jumper any safety devices

when operating the unit. Do not operate the compressor when the

outdoor temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) (unless accessory

low--ambient kit is installed). Do not rapid--cycle the compressor.

Allow 5 minutes between on cycles to prevent compressor damage.

Checking Cooling Control Operation

Start and check the unit for proper cooling control operation as
follows:

1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF position.

Observe that blower motor starts when FAN switch is
