9.0 Commissioning

and Startup

9.1 Check the installation prior to startup:

Check suspension. Unit must be secure and level.

Be certain the electrical supply matches voltage rating of the furnace. (Refer to the

rating plate.)

Check all field wiring against the wiring diagram. Be sure wire gauges are as

required for the electrical load. Verify that fuses or circuit breakers are in place and

sized correctly.

Check clearances from combustibles. Requirements are shown in Paragraph 4.2.

If installed in a confined space, verify that the furnace has adequate combustion

air supply. See Paragraph 2.2.

Check vent system to be sure that it is installed according to the instructions in

Paragraph 6.2.

Check piping for leaks and proper gas line pressure. Bleed gas lines of trapped air.

See Paragraph 6.1.

a) Turn manual shutoff valve to off position.

b) Turn gas supply on.

c) Observe gas meter for movement, or

d) Attach pressure gauge readable to .1" w.c. and after turning gas on for ten

seconds, turn gas supply off. No change in pressure should occur over a three-

minute period.

e) If either c) or d) above indicate a leak, locate leak by brushing a leak-detecting

solution on all fittings. Bubbles will appear at a leak. Repair and repeat tests.

9.2 Startup:

Operating Sequence

1. Set thermostat at lowest setting

2. Turn on the power to the unit.

3. Turn on main and pilot manual gas valve.

4. Set thermostat at desired setting.

5. Thermostat calls for heat energizing the venter motor.

6. Pressure switch closes, energizing the pilot gas

valve and spark gap to produce a pilot flame on

each operating cycle. The sensing probe proves

the presence of pilot flame and energizes the safety

switch portion of the control. The switch action

de-energizes the spark gap and energizes the main

gas valve.

7. Fan control (Optional) senses heat exchanger

temperature energizing the fan or blower motor of the

air handler.

8. If the pilot flame is extinguished during main burner

operation, the sensing probe detects the absence of

the flame and causes the safety switch to close the

main valve. On units with standard intermittent spark

pilot systems, the spark gap recycles. On units with

optional spark ignition with lockout, if the pilot is not

established within the timing cycle (approximately

120 seconds), the unit locks out and must be reset by

interrupting power to the control circuit.

Turn electric and gas supply on to the furnace. Adjust the thermostat or ductstat

so that a call for heat exists. Observe for complete sequencing of safety pilot and

ignition.

9.3 Check

installation after

startup:

With the unit in operation, measure manifold gas pressure. Manifold pressure for

natural gas should be 3.5" w.c. and 10" w.c. for propane gas. See Paragraph 6.1.

Turn the unit off and on, pausing two minutes between each cycle. Observe

for smooth ignition. On two-stage or modulating burner systems, manipulate

temperature adjustment slowly up and down to see if control is sequencing or

modulating properly. Raising temperature setting drives burner on or to full fire.

Observe burner flame at full fire. Natural gas flame should be about 1-1/2" in height

with blue coloring. Propane gas flame should be approximately the same length

with blue coloring. Yellow tipping may appear on propane gas. If yellow extends

beyond 1/2 to 3/4", adjust air shutters. See Paragraph 8.6.2 .

Checked the limit control. With the heater on, completely block off distribution air.

The limit control should open within a few minutes, shutting off the gas supply to

the main burners.

Place "Owner's Envelope" containing Limited Warranty Card, this booklet, and

any optional information in an accessible location near the heater. Follow the

instructions on the envelope.
