Section III: FURNACE OPERATION
FURNACE CONTROLS
This section discusses the furnace controls and how they operate.
Refer to Figure 18 for component locations.
1. The Limit Controls – The furnace has a limit control
located on the vestibule panel to sense overheating of the
heat exchangers and open if the temperature gets above the
set point of the limit control.
2. The Rollout Limit Controls – The burner assembly has two
(2) limit controls to shutdown the burner operation if either
of the limits open.
3. The Furnace Integrated Control – The integrated Hot
Surface Ignition control combines all control functions
needed for an induced draft mobile home furnace into a
single printed circuit board package.
The control provides outputs for a 2 speed taps for the
indoor blower motor speed tap leads, single speed inducer
motor, main gas valve, and hot surface igniter element. The
control receives inputs from the thermostat (W and G),
pressure switch, high temperature limit switches, and senses
flame
4. Pressure Switches – The pressure switches sense the
pressure in the induced draft housing and closes the contacts
when the negative pressure is above the set point.
5. Induced Draft Assembly – This consists of a motor, blower
wheel and scroll. This assembly draws the combustion air
and the by-products of combustion through the heat
exchanger tubes and pushes them up the vent.
6. 3 Amp Fuse – This is an automotive type fuse that is used
for over-current protection of the 24 VAC circuit.
7. Transformer – The transformer is used to step down
voltage from 240 VAC to 24 VAC. The transformer
provides the required 24 VAC for the system control circuit
8. Blower Relay – This relay id connected to the “HEAT”
terminal on the control board. This relay will keep the
blower operating if the gas valve gets stuck open.
SECTION IV: SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Normal Heating Mode Sequence
The thermostat calls for heat by energizing the "W" terminal.
The control checks to see the pressure switch is open. If the
pressure switch is closed when the call for heat occurs, the
control will lockout and begin to flash "3" on the Status LED
after 60 seconds.
The control energizes the induced draft motor and waits for the
pressure switch to close. If the pressure switch does not close
within 60 seconds of the inducer energizing, the control will
lockout, de-energize the inducer, and begin to flash "2" on the
Status LED.
The control runs the inducer for a 25 second pre-purge time,
during which the pressure switch must remain closed.
The control energizes the HSI output for 25 seconds. The inducer
remains energized, and the pressure switch must remain closed.
The control energizes the main gas valve for 5 seconds. The
inducer and igniter outputs remain energized.
The control de-energizes the hot surface igniter. The gas valve
and inducer outputs remain energized. If flame is present 2
seconds after the igniter de-energizes, the control goes to blower
on delay. If flame is not present, the control de-energizes the gas
valve and proceeds with the ignition re-try.
If flame is present, the control energizes the blower on HEAT
speed after the selected blower on delay following flame being
proven. The gas valve and inducer outputs remain energized.
The Control inputs are continuously monitored to ensure limit
and pressure switches are closed, flame is established, and the
thermostat call for heat remains.
When the thermostat demand for heat is satisfied, the control de-
energizes the gas valve. The inducer output remains on for a 15
second post-purge period.
The indoor blower motor is de-energized after the selected
blower off delay. Blower off delay timing begins when the
thermostat is satisfied.
Interrupted Thermostat
If the thermostat demand for heat is removed before the flame
recognition period, the control will run the inducer for the post
purge period and de-energize all outputs.
If the thermostat demand for heat is removed after the flame
recognition period (successful ignition), the induced draft motor
will run through a post purge and the indoor blower motor will
run on heat speed for the selected delay off time.
Ignition Re-try
If flame is not established on the first trial for ignition period, the
gas valve is de-energized and the inducer remains energized for
an inter-purge period of 25 seconds. The igniter is then re-
energized for a warm up period, and the control initiates another
trial for ignition. This sequence repeats for up to 4 trials for
ignition.
If flame is not established on the fourth trial for ignition (initial
try + 3 re-tries), the control de-energizes the gas valve, flashes
"1" on the Status LED, and lockouts out heat operation for 1
hour.
Ignition Re-cycle
Flame must not be sensed for 2 seconds before the control
responds to a loss of flame. If flame is established and
maintained during the trial for ignition period and then flame is
lost, the gas valve is de-energized within 0.8 seconds, the
induced draft motor continues to run, and the control begins
timing the 25 second inter-purge delay. The indoor blower motor
will be energized and/or remain energized on heat speed for the
selected delay off time.
When the inter-purge delay is over, the igniter is re-energized,
and the control initiates another igniter warm-up and ignition
activation period. The control will re-cycle up to 6 flame losses
(5 re-cycles) within a single call for heat before going to lockout.
Continuous Fan
Cooling / heating thermostats have a fan switch that has an “ON”
and: AUTO” position. In the “ON” position the thermostat calls
for continuous fan (G) without a call for heat, the indoor fan is
energized on the Constant Circulation speed after a 0.25 second
delay.
When the thermostat removes the call for fan ("G"), the control
de-energizes the cooling speed fan after a fan off delay period of
20 seconds.
If a call for heat (W) occurs during the blower constant
circulation speed, the blower will change to the heating speed.
When the call for heat has been satisfied the blower motor will
switch back to the Constant Circulation Speed.
If a call for cooling (Y) occurs during the blower constant
circulation speed, the blower will change to the cooling speed.
