Check Heating Control

Start and check the unit for proper heating control operation as

follows (see furnace lighting instructions located on the inside of
the control access panel):

1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in the HEAT

position and the fan switch is placed in AUTO position.

2. Set the heating temperature control of the thermostat above

room temperature.

3. The induced--draft motor will start.
4. On a call for heating, the main burner should light within 5

sec. of the spark being energized. If the burners do not light,

there is a 22--sec. delay before another 5--sec. try. If the
burners still do not light, this sequence is repeated. If the

burners do not light within 15 minutes from the initial call
for heat, there is a lockout. To reset the control, break the
24--v power to W.

5. The evaporator fan will turn on 45 sec. after the flame has

been established. The evaporator fan will turn off 45 sec.

after the thermostat has been satisfied. Please note that the
integrated gas unit controller (IGC) has the capability to
automatically reduce the evaporator “ON” delay and in-

crease the evaporator “OFF” delay in the event of high duct
static and/or partially--clogged filter.

Check Gas Input

Check gas input and manifold pressure after unit start--up (See
Table 3). If adjustment is required proceed as follows:

S

The rated gas inputs shown in Table 3 are for altitudes from sea
level to 2000 ft (610 m) above sea level. These inputs are based
on natural gas with a heating value of 1025 Btu/ft

3

at 0.60

specific gravity, or propane gas with a heating value of 2500
Btu/ft

3

at 1.5 specific gravity.

IN THE U.S.A.:
The input rating for altitudes above 2,000 ft (610 m) must be
reduced by 4% for each 1,000 ft (305 m) above see level.
For installations below 2,000 ft (610 m), refer to the unit rating

plate.
For installations above 2,000 ft (610 m) multiply the input by on

the rating plate by the derate multiplier in Table 4 for correct input
rate.

* In Canada see Canadian Altitude Adjustment.

Derate multiplier factors are based on midpoint altitude for altitude range.

IN CANADA:
The input rating for altitudes from 2,000 to 4,500 ft (610 m to

1372 m) above sea level must be derated 10% by an authorized

Gas Conversion Station or Dealer.
EXAMPLE:
90,000 Btu/hr Input Furnace Installed at 4300 ft (1311 m).

When the gas supply being used has a different heating value or

specific gravity, refer to national and local codes, or contact your

distributor to determine the required orifice size.

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

and/or component life.
Do Not redrill an orifice. Improper drilling (burrs,

out--of--round holes, etc.) can cause excessive burner noise

and misdirection of burner flame. If orifice hole appears
damaged or it is suspected to have been redrilled, check

orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of correct size.

!

CAUTION

Adjust Gas Input

The gas input to the unit is determined by measuring the gas flow
at the meter or by measuring the manifold pressure. Measuring the

gas flow at the meter is recommended for natural gas units. The
manifold pressure must be measured to determine the input of

propane gas units.
Measure Gas Flow (Natural Gas Units)
Minor adjustment to the gas flow can be made by changing the
manifold pressure. The manifold pressure must be maintained

between 3.2 and 3.8 IN. W.C.
