Electronic Ignition
On a call for heat the integrated control monitors the
combustion air inducer pressure switch. The control board
will not begin the heating cycle if the pressure switch is
closed (by-passed). Once the pressure switch is determined
to be open, the combustion air inducer is energized. When
the di󰀨erential in the pressure switch is great enough, the
pressure switch closes and a 15-second pre-purge begins.
If the pressure switch is not proven within 2-1/2 minutes,
the integrated control goes into Watchguard-Pressure
Switch mode for a 5-minute re-set period.
After the 15-second pre-purge period, the ignitor warms
up for 20 seconds during which the gas valve opens at
19 seconds for a 4-second trial for ignition. The ignitor
remains energized for the rst 3 seconds during the 4
second trial. If ignition is not proved during the 4-second
period, the integrated control will try four more times with
an inter purge and warm-up time between trials of 35
seconds. After a total of ve trials for ignition (including the
initial trial), the integrated control goes into Watchguard-
Flame Failure mode. After a 60-minute reset period, the
integrated control will begin the ignition sequence again.
Fan Time Control
Heating Fan On Time
The fan on time of 30 seconds is not adjustable.
Heating Fan O󰀨 Time
Fan o󰀨 time (time that the blower operates after the heat
demand has been satised) can be adjusted by moving
the jumper to a di󰀨erent setting. The unit is shipped with
a factory fan o󰀨 setting of 90 seconds. For customized
comfort, monitor the supply air temperature once the heat
demand is satised. Note the supply air temperature at the
instant the blower is de-energized.
Adjust the fan-o󰀨 delay to achieve a supply air temperature
between 90° - 110° at the instant the blower is de-energized.
(Longer delay times allow for lower air temperature, shorter
delay times allow for higher air temperature). See Figure 4.
Cooling Fan On Time
The fan on time is 2 seconds and is not adjustable.
Cooling Fan O󰀨 Time
The control has a 45 second fan o󰀨 delay after cooling
demand has been met. This delay is factory set and not
adjustable.
HEAT FAN‐OFF TIME IN SECONDS
To adjust fan-off timing, reposition jumper across pins to
achieve desired setting.

Heating Components
Combustion air inducer (B6), primary limit control (S10),
ignitor, burners, ame rollout switch (S47), gas valve
(GV1), combustion air pressure switch (S18), and heat
exchangers are located in the heating compartment. The
heating compartment can be accessed by removing the
outer access panel.
Ignitor (Figure 5)
GDD92C units use a nitride ignitor made from a
proprietary ceramic material. To check ignitor, measure
its resistance and voltage. A value of 39 to 70
ohms indicates a good ignitor. Voltage to the ignitor
should be 102 - 132VAC. See Figure 9 for resistance
and voltage checks.

FRONT BURNER BOX PLATE
Flame Rollout Switches (Figure 5)
Flame rollout switches S47 are SPST N.C. high temperature
limits located on the left and right of the front buner box
plate. S47 is wired to the burner ignition control A92. When
either of the switches sense ame rollout (indicating a
blockage in the combustion passages), the ame rollout
switch trips, and the ignition control immediately closes
the gas valve. Switch S47 in all GDD92C units is
factory preset to open at 210 F + 12 F (99 C + 6.7 C)
on a temperature rise. All flame rollout switches are
manual reset. See flash code 8 in Table 4 or Table 5 for
troubleshooting.
Flame Sensor (Figure 5)
A ame sensor is located on the left side of the burner
support. The sensor is mounted on the front burner box
plate and the tip protrudes into the ame envelope of the
leftmost burner. The sensor can be removed for service
(use steel wool only to clean) without removing any part of
the burners. During operation, ame is sensed by current
passed through the ame and sensing electrode. The
ignition control allows the gas valve to remain open as long
as flame signal is sensed.
NOTE: The GDD92C is polarity sensitive. Make sure
that the furnace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
A microamp DC meter is needed to check the ame signal
on the integrated control.
Flame (microamp) signal is an electrical current which
passes from the integrated control to the sensor during
unit operation. Current passes from the sensor through the
ame to ground to complete a safety circuit.
Heat Exchanger (Figure 6)
GDD92C units use an aluminized steel primary and
stainless steel secondary heat exchanger assembly.
Heat is transferred to the air stream from all surfaces of
the heat exchanger. The shape of the heat exchanger
ensures maximum efficiency.
The combustion air inducer pulls fresh air through the
burner box. This air is mixed with gas in the burners. The
gas / air mixture is then burned at the entrance of each
clamshell. Combustion gases are then pulled through the
primary and secondary heat exchangers and exhausted
out the exhaust vent pipe.

508134-01Issue 2045
Page 11 of 53
Primary Limit Control (Figure 6)
Primary limit (S10) used on GDD92C units is located
in the heating vestibule panel. When excess heat is
sensed in the heat exchanger, the limit will open. Once
the limit opens, the furnace control energizes the
supply air blower and de-energizes the gas valve.
The limit automatically resets when unit temperature
returns to normal. The switch is factory set and cannot be
adjusted. For limit replacement remove wires from limit
terminals, remove mounting screws, rotate limit switch
90 degrees and slowly remove from the vestibule
panel. Install replacement limit with same care. See
flash code 7 in Table 4 or Table 5 for troubleshooting if
limit switch opens during operation.
Install limit face down
Figure 6. Primary Limit Location and Heat Exchanger
Gas Valve (Figure 7)
The GDD92C uses an internally redundant valve
to assure safety shut-off. If the gas valve must
be replaced, the same type valve must be used.
24VAC terminals and gas control switch are located on top
of the valve. All terminals on the gas valve are connected to
wires from the ignition control. 24V applied to the terminals
opens the valve.
Inlet and outlet pressure taps are located on the valve. A
manifold adjustment screw is also located on the valve. An
LP/Propane changeover kit is available.

Test 2
Check ignitor for correct resistance.
Seperate the 2-pin jack-plug near the manifold
and check resistance of ignitor at the plug.
Reading should be between 39 and 70 ohms. If
the reading is correct, then the problem is with
the wiring between the jack-plug and the control.
If reading is not correct, the issue is the ignitor.

Combustion Air Inducer (B6) & Cold End Header Box
All GDD92C units use a combustion air inducer to move air
through the burners and heat exchanger during heating
operation. The blower uses a shaded pole 120VAC motor.
The motor operates during all heating operation and is
controlled by integrated control A92. Blower operates
continuously while there is a call for heat. The integrated
control will not proceed with the ignition sequence until
combustion air inducer operation is sensed by the proving
switches.
The combustion air inducer is installed on the cold end
header box. The cold end header box is a single piece made
of hard plastic. The box has an internal channel where the
combustion air inducer creates negative pressure at unit
start up. The channel contains an orice used to regulate
ow created by the combustion air inducer. The box has
pressure taps for the combustion air inducer pressure
switch hoses. The pressure switch measures the pressure
across the combustion air inducer orice or di󰀨erence in
the channel and the box. If replacement is necessary the
gaskets used to seal the box to the vestibule panel and the
combustion air inducer to the box, must also be replaced.
Combustion Air Pressure Switch (Figure 10)
GDD92C series units are equipped with a differential
pressure switch located on the cold end header box. The
switch monitors across the combustion air inducer orifice
to insure proper flow through the heat exchanger.
The switch is a SPST N.O. pressure switch electrically
connected to the integrated control. The purpose of the
switch is to prevent burner operation if the combustion air
inducer is not moving enough air for proper combustion.
Figure 10. Pressure Switch
On start-up, the switch monitors whether the combustion
air inducer is operating. It closes a circuit to the integrated
control when the di󰀨erence in pressure across the
combustion air inducer orice exceeds a non-adjustable
factory setting. If the switch does not successfully sense
the required di󰀨erential, the switch cannot close and the
furnace cannot operate. If the ue or air inlet become
obstructed during operation, the switch senses a loss of
pressure di󰀨erential and opens the circuit to the integrated
control. If the condensate line is blocked, water will back
up into the header box and reduce the pressure di󰀨erential
across the switch. The pressure switch opens if the
di󰀨erential drops below the set point. See Table 6.
Checks of pressure di󰀨erential can aid in troubleshooting.
When measuring the pressure di󰀨erential, readings should
be taken at the pressure switch. See Figure 11 and Table 7.
Lack of di󰀨erential usually indicates problems in the intake
or exhaust piping, but may indicate problems in the heat
exchanger, condensing coil, header boxes, combustion
inducer or other components.

Blower Compartment
Each blower is statically and dynamically balanced as
an assembly before installation in the unit.
IMPORTANT
GDD92C units are equipped with a constant torque
ECM motor. It has a DC motor coupled to an
electronic control module both contained in the same
motor housing. The motor is programmed to provide
constant torque at each of the five selectable speed taps.
Each tap requires 24 volts to energize.
Input Voltage Requirements
The circuit is designed to be operated with AC voltage. To
enable a tap requires 12 to 33VAC. Expected current draw
will be less than 20mA.
Troubleshooting the Motor
Troubleshooting the motor is an easy process. Follow
steps below.
1. Shut o󰀨 power to unit.
2. Remove input plugs P48 and P49 from motor. See
Figure 16 for troubleshooting procedure.
If correct voltage is present in tests 1 and 2 and motor is
not operating properly, replace motor. The motor is not eld
repairable.
If replacing the indoor blower motor or blower wheel is
necessary, placement is critical. The blower wheel must
be centered in the blower housing as shown in Figure 13.
When replacing the indoor blower motor the set screw
must be aligned and tightened with the motor shaft as
shown in Figure 14.
Secondary Limit Controls
The secondary limit is located in the blower compartment
on the back side of the blower housing. See Figure 15.
When excess heat is sensed in the blower compartment,
the limit will open. If the limit is open, the furnace control
energizes the supply air blower and closes the gas valve.
The limit automatically resets when unit temperature
returns to normal. The secondary limit cannot be adjusted.

Testing the Motor (Figure 17)
If any motor fails the below tests, do not install the new
control module. The motor is defective and it also must be
replaced. The new control can fail if placed on a defective
motor.
1. Using an ohmmeter check the resistance from any
one of the motor connector pins to the aluminum end
plate of the motor. This resistance should be greater
than 100k ohms.
2. Check the resistances between each of the three motor
connector pins. These should all read approximately
the same resistance within an ohm.
3. Check to see if the blower wheel spins freely.

Motor Module Installation
All replacement motor control modules look similar;
however, each module is designed for a specic motor
size. It is very important to make sure that you are using the
correct replacement motor control module. USE OF THE
WRONG MOTOR CONTROL MODULE MAY RESULT IN
UNEXPECTED UNIT OPERATION.
1. Verify electrical power to unit is disconnected.
2. Connect three-wire harness from motor to control
module.
3. Mount new motor
control module to
motor using two hex
head bolts. Torque
bolts to 22 inch pounds
or 1/16th clock turn as
exampled to the right.

Placement & Installation
Pipe & Fittings Specications
All pipe, ttings, primer and solvent cement must conform
with American National Standard Institute and the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards.
The solvent shall be free owing and contain no lumps,
undissolved particles or any foreign matter that adversely
a󰀨ects the joint strength or chemical resistance of the
cement. The cement shall show no gelation, stratication,
or separation that cannot be removed by stirring. Refer to
Table 8 for approved piping and tting materials.
Solvent cements for plastic pipe are ammable liquids
and should be kept away from all sources of ignition.
Do not use excessive amounts of solvent cement when
making joints. Good ventilation should be maintained to
reduce re hazard and to minimize breathing of solvent
vapors. Avoid contact of cement with skin and eyes.
CAUTION
GDD92C exhaust and intake connections are made of
PVC. Use PVC primer and solvent cement when using
PVC vent pipe. When using ABS vent pipe, use
transitional solvent cement to make connections to the
PVC fittings in the unit.
IMPORTANT
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent
cement meeting ASTM specications, refer to Table 8.
As an alternate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS,
PVC, or CPVC pipe when using ttings and pipe made of
the same materials. Use transition solvent cement when
bonding ABS to either PVC or CPVC.
Low temperature solvent cement is recommended during
cooler weather. Metal or plastic strapping may be used for
vent pipe hangers. Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC
primer for PVC or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean
inside socket surface of tting and male end of pipe to
depth of tting socket.
NOTE: Canadian Applications Only - Pipe, ttings,
primer and solvent cement used to vent (exhaust) this
appliance must be certied to ULC S636 and supplied by a
