2.2 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
CAUTION
FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit
component damage. Electrostatic discharge can
affect electronic components. Take precautions
during furnace installation and servicing to
protect the furnace electronic control. These
precautions will help to avoid exposing the control
to electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace,
the controls, and the technician at the same
electrostatic potential.
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 furnace chassis which is close to the control.
Tools held in a person’s hand during grounding will
be satisfactorily discharged.
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 ungrounded objects, etc.).
7

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
(ungrounded) furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container,
discharge your body’s electrostatic charge to
ground to protect the control from damage. If the
control is to be installed in a furnace, follow items
1 through 4 before bringing the control or yourself
in contact with the furnace. Put down all used and
new controls before touching ungrounded objects.
7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial
sources) may also be used to prevent ESD
damage.
2.3 LOCATION
This furnace must :
• Be installed so the electrical components are
protected from water;
• Not be installed directly on any combustible
material other than wood flooring;
• Be located close to the chimney or vent and
attached to an air distribution system. Refer to
section 8.
• Be provided ample space for servicing and
cleaning. Always comply with minimum fire
protection clearances shown in table 1 or on the
furnace rating label.
• Install the furnace with a correct slope if installed
in other position than upflow. If installed upflow,
make sure the furnace is leveled to ensure proper
drainage of condensate.
• The furnace must be installed in a conditioned
space.
Place the unit so that proper venting can be achieved,
with a minimum number of elbows, in accordance with
the instructions in this manual. The furnace should be
located as close to the chimney (vertical venting) or to
the outside vent wall (horizontal venting) as possible.
When installing the furnace, provisions must be made
to ensure the supply of adequate combustion and
ventilation air in accordance with the “air for combustion
and ventilation” section of the National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 5/ANSI Z223.1-2002, or latest edition, or
applicable provisions of the local building code.
2.3.1 Location relative to cooling
equipement
The cooling coil can either be installed in the supply air
duct or in the return air duct. If the coil is installed in the
supply air duct, it must be at a minimum of 6” over the
furnace primary heat exchanger.

3 ALIZÉ COOLING UNIT
To optimize your HVAC experience, Dettson offers the
Alizé cooling system.
3.1 THERMOSTAT USING ALIZÉ
SYSTEM
When using the Alizé cooling unit, the communicating
thermostat must be used (R02P032). The interface card
(K03081) will be able to gather information from the
outdoor unit, the furnace and the thermostat, making
this integrated system easy to install. The indoor blower
speed will be determined by various factors including
outdoor temperature, compressor speed and demand
from the thermostat. The balance point (temperature
at which the unit will switch from heat pump heating to
auxiliary heat, in this case gas) will be adjustable through
the thermostat. If this unit is destined to be used as a
cooling system only, the heat pump can also be disable
from the communicating thermostat, by using emergency
heat. For more details refer to the manual provided with
the thermostat.
3.2 POSITION OF THE INTERFACE
BOARD
Provision has been made on the main control board
support in the furnace to locate the interface board
(K03069). Refer to figure 1.
3.3 WIRES CONNECTIONS WITH
THE INTERFACE BOARD
Figure 2, explains how to properly wire the interface
board to the ERV/HRV and main furnace control. For
the complete wire connection, please refer to the Alizé
manual. The interface board allows the ERV/HRV to be
interlocked with the furnace, giving a smooth and quiet
operation of the whole system.
Figure 1 – Interface card position
4 INSTALLATION
The furnace is factory built for upflow position. In this
position, the drain trap can be installed on right or left
side depending on air return duct. When installing the
furnace in the upflow position, make sure it is leveled.
To ensure proper drainage of the condensate when
installed in position other than upflow, the furnace
MUST be tilted. Refer to figures corresponding to the
position of the furnace in the following sections.
When installing the furnace in other orientation than the
upflow position, simply configure the condensate tubing
accordingly with the instructions provided in this section
of the manual.
