BURNER
ORIFICE
For proper operation and long term reliability the furnace input
rate must be within +/−2 percent of input rate on furnace rating
plate.
The gas input rate on rating plate is for installation at altitudes
up to 2000 ft. (610 M)
In the U.S.A., the input rating for altitudes above 2000 ft. (610
M) must be reduced by 2 percent for each 1000 ft. (305 M)
above sea level refer to Table 1.
In Canada, the input rating must be derated by 5 percent for
altitudes of 2000 ft. (610 M) to 4500 ft. (1372 M) above sea
level.
To adjust manifold pressure to obtain the proper input rate, first,
determine if the furnace has the correct orifice installed. At
higher altitudes or different gas heat contents, it may be
necessary to change the factory orifice to a different orifice.
Tables have been provided in the furnace Service and
Technical Manual to match the required orifice to the manifold
pressure to the heat content and specific gravity of the gas. To
do this:
a. Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed
altitude) from local gas supplier.
b. Obtain average yearly gas specific gravity from local
gas supplier.
c. Find installation altitude range for your installation in
the manifold pressure tables in Table 3.
d. Find closest natural gas heat value and specific
gravity in Table 3.
e. Follow heat value and specific gravity lines to point of
intersection to find orifice size and manifold pressure
setting for proper operation.
f. Check and verify burner orifice size in furnace.
NEVER ASSUME ORIFICE SIZE. ALWAYS CHECK
AND VERIFY.
g. Replace orifice with correct size, if required by
Table 3. Use only factory−supplied orifices. See
EXAMPLE.
EXAMPLE: 0 - 2000 ft. (0 - 609.6M) altitude
Heating value = 1050 Btu/cu ft.
Specific gravity = 0.62
Therefore: Orifice No. 44
Manifold pressure: 3.4-in. w.c.
* Furnace is shipped with No. 44 orifices. In this example, all
main burner orifices are the correct size and do not need to be
changed to obtain proper input rate.
1. Adjust manifold pressure to obtain input rate. (See
Figure 3)
a. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to OFF.
b. Remove manifold pressure tap plug from gas valve.
c. Connect a water column manometer or similar device
to manifold pressure tap.
d. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to ON.
e. Manually close blower door switch.
f. Jumper R and W thermostat connections on control
to start furnace. (See Figure 4)

M)
NOTE: If orifice hole appears damaged or it is suspected to
have been redrilled, check orifice hole with a numbered drill bit
of correct size. Never redrill an orifice. A burr−free and squarely
aligned orifice hole is essential for proper flame characteristics.
g. Remove regulator adjustment cap from gas valve
pressure regulator (See Figure 3) and turn adjusting
screw (3/16 or smaller flat−tipped screwdriver)
counterclockwise (out) to decrease input rate or
clockwise (in) to increase input rate.
NOTE: DO NOT set manifold pressure less than 3.2 in. w.c. or
more than 3.8 in. w.c. for natural gas. If manifold pressure is
outside this range, change main burner orifices to obtain
manifold pressure in this range.

gas leak.
!WARNING
2. Verify natural gas input rate by clocking meter.
a. Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots served by
the meter.
b. Jumper R to W.
c. Run furnace for 3 minutes.
d. Measure time (in sec) for gas meter to complete 1
revolution and note reading. The 2 or 5 cubic feet dial
provides a more accurate measurement of gas flow.
e. Refer to Table 2 for cubic ft. of gas per hr.
f. Multiply gas rate cu ft./hr by heating value (Btuh/cu
ft.) to obtain input. If clocked rate does not match
required input from Step 1, increase manifold
pressure to increase input or decrease manifold
pressure to decrease input. Repeat steps b through e
until correct input is achieved. Re−install regulator
seal cap on gas valve.

Adjust Temperature Rise
NOTE: Blower door must be installed when taking temperature
rise reading. Leaving blower door off will result in incorrect
temperature measurements.
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in:
SOverheating the heat exchangers or condensing
flue gases in heat exchanger areas not designed
for condensate.
SShortened furnace life.
SComponent damage.
Temperature rise must be within limits specified on furnace
rating plate. Recommended operation is at midpoint of rise
range or slightly above.
CAUTION
!
This furnace must operate within the temperature rise ranges
specified on the furnace rating plate. Determine the air
temperature as follows:
a. Place duct thermometers in return and supply ducts
as close to furnace as possible. Be sure
thermometers do not “see” heat exchangers so that
radiant heat does not affect thermometer readings.
This is particularly important with straight run ducts.
b. When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract
return−air temperature from supply−air temperature to
determine temperature rise.
If the temperature rise is outside this range, check the
following:
a. Gas input for gas heat operation.
b. Derate for altitude if applicable.
c. Return and supply ducts for excessive restrictions
causing static pressures greater than 0.50−in. w.c.
d. Adjust temperature rise by adjusting blower speed.
e. Increase blower speed to reduce temperature rise.
f. Decrease blower speed to increase temperature rise.
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Disconnect 115v electrical power before changing speed
tap.
!WARNING
(Read following caution before changing taps).
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
To avoid operating outside the rise range and avoid
component damage:
Refer to the Air Delivery Tables to determine which airflows
and settings are allowed for proper heating airflow. DO NOT
use the highlighted settings for heating airflow. The
highlighted settings are to be used for Cooling, ONLY.
CAUTION
!
Furnaces are shipped with the Heating speed selected as the
Blue motor lead and the Cooling speed selected as the Black
lead

Specifications subject to change without notice.
10 440 04 4401 00
Change these settings as required to maintain proper
temperature rise for Heating and Cooling, as described, above.
To change blower motor speed selections for heating mode,
remove blower motor lead from control HEAT terminal. (See
Figure 4) Select desired blower motor speed lead from one of
the other motor leads and relocate it to HEAT terminal.
(Reconnect original lead on SPARE terminal.
Adjust Blower Off Delay (Heat Mode)
The blower off delay has four adjustable settings from 90 sec to
180 sec. (See Table 4) The blower off delay jumpers are
located on the furnace control (See Figure 4) To change the
blower off delay setting, move the jumper from one set of pins
on the control to the pins used for the desired blower off delay.
Factory blower off delay setting is 120 sec.

Adjust Cooling Airflow
The cooling airflow can be set from the remaining blower speed
taps. Refer to the Air Delivery Tables in these instructions.
Adjust Thermostat Heat Anticipator
When using a non−electronic thermostat, the thermostat heat
anticipator must be set to match the amp draw of the electrical
components in R−W circuit. Accurate amp draw readings can
be obtained at the thermostat subbase terminals R and W.
Figure 5 illustrates the easy method of obtaining actual amp
draw. The amp reading should be taken after blower motor has
started and furnace is heating. Connect ammeter wires as
shown in Figure 5. The thermostat anticipator should not be in
the circuit while measuring current. If thermostat has no
subbase, the thermostat must be disconnected from R and W
wires during current measurement. See thermostat
manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting heat anticipator and for
varying heating cycle length. For an electronic thermostat, set
cycle rate for 3 cycles per hour.

Check Safety Controls
The flame sensor, gas valve, and pressure switch were all
checked in the Start−up procedure section as part of normal
operation.
1. Check Main Limit Switch
This control shuts off combustion system and energizes
air−circulating blower motor, if furnace overheats. By
using this method to check limit control, it can be
established that limit is functioning properly and will
operate if there is a restricted return−air supply or motor
failure. If limit control does not function during this test,
cause must be determined and corrected.
a. Run furnace for at least 5 minutes.
b. Gradually block off return air with a piece of
cardboard or sheet metal until the limit trips.
c. Unblock return air to permit normal circulation.
d. Burners will re−light when furnace cools down.
2. Check Pressure Switch(es)
This control proves operation of the draft inducer blower.
a. Turn off 115−v power to furnace.
b. Disconnect inducer motor lead wires from wire
harness.
c. Turn on 115−v power to furnace.
d. Set thermostat to “call for heat” and wait 1 minute.
When low pressure switch is functioning properly, hot
surface igniter should NOT glow and control
diagnostic light flashes a status code 3. If hot surface
igniter glows when inducer motor is disconnected,
shut down furnace immediately.
e. Determine reason low pressure switch did not
function properly and correct condition.
f. Turn off 115−v power to furnace.
g. Reconnect inducer motor wires, replace door, and
turn on 115−v power.
h. Blower will run for 90 seconds before beginning the
call for heat again.
i. Furnace should ignite normally.
Checklist
1. Put away tools and instruments. Clean up debris.
2. Verify that the jumper is removed from the TEST/TWIN
terminal. Verify that there is nothing plugged into the PLT
connector.
NOTE: If there is a jumper connector plugged into PLT, remove
it and discard. (See Figure 4)
3. Verify that the Heat Off Delay jumpers are set as desired.
(See Figure 4)
4. Verify that the blower and control (“Main”) doors are
properly installed.
5. Verify that the Status LED glows. If not, check that the
power supply is energized and that the blower door is
secure. (See Figure 14) to interpret diagnostic codes.
6. Cycle test furnace with room thermostat to be sure that it
operates properly with the room thermostat. Check all
modes including Heat, Cool and Fan.

NOTE:
1. A filter is required for each return−air inlet. Airflow performance includes a 3/4 in. (19 mm) washable filter media such as contained in factory−authorized accessory
filter rack. See accessory list. To determine airflow performance without this filter, assume an additional 0.1 in. W.C. available external static pressure.
2. Blower speed taps are not always in the same order. Factory Default blower connections are as follows:
Heating airflow −BLUE (also used for Continuous Fan)
Cooling airflow −BLACK (enabled when the Y terminal is energized)
ADJUST THE BLOWER SPEED TAPS AS NECESSARY FOR THE PROPER AIR TEMPERATURE RISE FOR EACH INSTALLATION.
3. Airflows over 1800 CFM require bottom return, two−side return, or bottom and side return. A minimum filter size of 20” x 25” is required.
4. For upflow applications, air entering from one side into both the side of the furnace and a return air base counts as a side and bottom return.
5. Highlighted areas indicate that this airflow range is beyond the range allowed for heating. THESE AIRFLOW RANGES MAY ONLY BE USED FOR COOLING.

Retrieving Stored Fault Codes
NOTE: Fault codes cannot be retrieved if a thermostat signal
(24-V on W, Y, G, etc.) is present, or if any delays such as
blower off-delays are active.
The stored status codes will NOT be erased from the control
memory when 115- or 24-V power is interrupted. See the
Service Label (See Figure 14) for more information. The most
recent fault code may be retrieved as follows:
1. Leave 115-V power connected to furnace.
2. Observe the status LED through the blower door (the
lower door on upflow applications) indicator. Refer to the
Service Label (See Figure 14) to interpret the LED.
3. Remove the Main/Control door (the upper door on upflow
installations).
4. BRIEFLY disconnect and reconnect ONE of the main
limit wires.
5. The LED will flash the last stored fault code. Refer to the
Service Label (See Figure 14) to interpret the LED.
6. A component test sequence will follow.
7. Reinstall the Main/Control door.
Component Self−Test
NOTE: The furnace control component test allows all
components to run for a short time; except the gas valve and
humidifier terminal HUM 24 VAC are not energized. The EAC
terminal is energized when the blower is energized. The HUM
terminal is energized when the inducer is energized. This
feature helps diagnose a system problem in case of a
component failure. The component test feature will not operate
if any thermostat signal is present at the control and not until all
