Voltageunbalanceoccurs when the voltages ofallphases
of a 3-phase power supply are no longer equal. This
unbalance reduces motor efficiency and performance.
Some underlying causes of voltage unbalance may
include:Lack of symmetryin transmission lines,large
single-phase loads, and unbalanced or overloaded
transformers. A motor should never be operated when a
phase imbalance in supply is greater than 2%.
Perform the following steps to determine the percentage
ofvoltageimbalance:
1. Measurethelinevoltages
of your 3-phase power
supply where it enters
the building and at a
location that will only
be dedicated to the
unit installation. (at the
units circuit protection or
disconnect).
EXAMPlE:
AB = 451V
BC = 460V
AC = 453V
2.Determine the average voltage in the power supply.
In this example, the measured line voltages were 451,
460, and 453. The average would be 454 volts (451 +
460 + 453 = 1,364 / 3 = 454).
3.Determinethemaximumdeviation:
EXAMPlE
From the values given in step 1, the BC voltage (460V)

2-Stage Heat / 1-Stage Cool Thermostat
(Recommended): Forhighest efficiencya2 Stage Heating/
Single Cooling thermostat is recommended for this unit. A
Single Stage Cool thermostat is only required for cooling
operation control of this unit. A 2 Stage Heat thermostat

This unit is designed to connect with any single stage
cooling thermostat. The connection between Y1 on the
thermostat and Y1 on the unit terminal strip energizes
cooling operation. See Figure 10 (page 36).
This gas pack is factory configured for two stage gas
heating operation with a two stage heating thermostat.
Connect the low voltage thermostat White & Brown wires
to W1 & W2, between the unit low voltage terminal board
and thermostat sub-base. See Figure 10.
To operate with a single stage heat thermostat, only
connect the low voltage thermostat White wire between
W1 on the unit low voltage terminal board and thermostat
sub-base. Reposition the automatic heat staging jumper
located on the ignition control module from OFF to ON
to set a 10 minute time delay before the gas furnace will
automatically move to high heat operation. notE: When
lowfireon the gas valve is energized,thefurnaceoperates
in low fire mode at a lower blower speed and the timer
begins its delay function. If the room thermostat is not
satisfied before the timer activates, the furnace will stage
to high fire. The inducer motor and blower will ramp to a
higher speed until the thermostat is satisfied.
The blower speed is preset at the factory for proper
fan only, heating, and cooling operation. These factory
settings are listed in Table 8 (page 28), Table 9 (page
28), Table 10 (page 29), Table 11 (page 30), Table
12 (page 31)& Table 13 (page 32). For optimum
system performance and comfort, it may be necessary to
change the factory set speed.
notES:
• TheCFMvalueslistedinTable 8, Table 9, Table 10,
Table 11, Table 12 & Table 13 are DEPENDANT on
duct static pressure for individual switch settings.
• Ifcoilicingoccurs,thebasiccoolingairowselected
may be too low. Verify the selected setting is within
the range shown in Table 8 and the system is properly
charged. If icing continues, raise the selected airflow
to the next higher tap.
• Formaximumdehumidicationandenergyefciency,
select an airflow near the middle or bottom of the CFM
range for that nominal capacity.
• The 2-stage heating feature of the unit requires
modulating the airflow. The unit will automatically adjust
the airflow to the appropriate rate when the unit heating
capacity changes.
Configuring the Fixed Speed Blower
The fixed speed blower assembly has been designed to
givetheinstallermaximumflexibilityforoptimizingsystem
performance, efficiency, and comfort. It is equipped with
a microprocessor-controlled motor when coupled with a
fixed speed motor control board delivers constant torque
to optimize airflow in a variety of conditions and system
configurations. Because the blower can be configured in
manyways,it is importanttoread and follow allinstructions
carefully.
Upon initial start up, the fixed speed blower must be
checked so that the factory settings match the unit with
the system, climatic conditions, and other system options.
With the blower installed and configured properly, the
furnace will change speed in response to changes in
system variables such as Heat/Cool setting, Fan Auto/
On, or 2 Stage furnace High/Low Heat. The fixed speed
blower is configured by setting the 8 switches for heating
andcoolingoperationlocated on the blower control board.
Use pins 1 to 4 to set the blower speed for heating and
pins 5 to 8 to set the speed for cooling. To determine the
appropriate switch settings for your installation, see Table
9, Table 10, Table 11, Table 12 & Table 13 for heating or
Table 8 for cooling. See Figure 10 (page 36)for switch
locations. notE: For change in blower speed selection to
takeeffect,systempowermustbecycledoffthenrestored
after 10 seconds.
Selecting Cooling Airflow
(Switches # 5, 6, 7, & 8)
The COOLING airflow is selected by setting switches # 5,
6, 7, & 8 on the motor control board (Figure 10). Table 8
(page 28) lists the recommended airflow values (CFM)
and switch settings for each nominal cooling system
capacity. All airflows for other modes of operation are
determinedbythesebasic settings.For maximumcapacity,
generally, a selection near the middle or top of the CFM
range for that nominal capacity is used. Factory settings
are displayed in BOLD ITALICS
Selecting Heating Airflow
(Switches # 1, 2, 3, & 4)
The HEATING airflow is selected by setting switches #
1, 2, 3, & 4 on the motor control board (Figure 10, Page
31). Table 9, Table 10, Table 11, Table 12 & Table 13
list the recommended airflow values (CFM) and switch
settings for each heat exchanger capacity. All airflows are
determined by these basic settings. For most applications
thefactoryheatsetting will operate at a nominal rise based
on the furnace’s nominal efficiency and firing input. Follow
across the table row to find the switch setting and nominal
14
air-flow. Verify the selected rise is within the specification
shown on the furnace rating label or in the tables.
The fixed speed motor control board has a DEHUM
connection that allows the system to increase the amount
of humidity that is removed from the circulating air. This
is accomplished by reducing the CFM and allowing the
coolingcoil tobecome colder. Thisfunctionisonlyavailable
when there is a call for cooling. There are many ways this
function can be electrically wired.
When 24VAC is present at the DEHUM terminal of the
blower control board the airflow requirements will be
reduced to approximately 75% of the nominal airflow
requirements.If the humiditylevelofthe conditionedspace
decreases during the cycle and the humidistat opens, the
airflow will be restored to 100% of the selected value.
• If the room thermostat incorporates a humidity sensor
and DEHUM output, connect the DEHUM on the
thermostat to the DEHUM terminal on the motor control
board. See Figure 10 (page 36).
• If using a separate humidistat, connect the DEHUM & R
terminalsonthehumidistattothe DEHUM & Rterminals
on the motor control board. In this option, the DEHUM
output of the humidistat must be set to be normally open
and closed when there is a call for dehumidification.
If a humidistat is not available, it is an acceptable option
to directly jumper the R& DEHUM on the blower control
board. notE: This option will always operate the blower
at 75% the rated airflow for the first 10 minutes of every
cooling cycle no matter what the humidity level of the
home is. See Figure 10.

Conversion of this unit must be performed by qualified
service personnel, using only approved parts. All
installationsmustbe made inaccordancewith the National
Fuel Gas Code and/or local jurisdiction codes.
WARning:
Highaltitude conversion canbefield performedbyasimple
adjustmentofmanifold pressure or a changeoftheorifices
(if necessary) as described in the Measuring & Adusting
the Manifold section (page 20). The changes required
depend on the installation altitude and the heating value
of the gas (based on sea level) which can be obtained
from your local gas utility. The heating value of gas at
high altitude is always lower than the sea level heating
value. Natural Gas heating values listed in Table 3 (page
17) are based on sea level values.
All factory shipped furnaces are ready to operate using
Natural Gas between zero and 2,000 ft. above sea level.
For altitudes between 2,000 and 10,000 feet above sea
level, the unit can be converted by adjusting the unit’s
manifoldpressureand/orchanging the orifices. See Table
3for the correct manifold pressure settings.
notE:Ifinstalling this unit above 2,000 feet, the input rate
mustbereduced4%per1,000feetofaltitude(Example:
12% at 3,000 feet, 16% at 4,000 feet, etc). Deration is
necessary to compensate for low atmospheric pressure
at high altitudes.
WARning:
Conversion of this equipment to LP/Propane gas must
be made by qualified service personnel, using approved
factory parts. Conversion to LP can be accomplished by
replacing the natural gas orifices with the appropriate LP/
Propane orifices and then adjusting the manifold pressure
(page 20). Conversion to LP/Propane (sea level and
high altitude) is detailed in the installation instructions
provided with the conversion kit.
Approved conversion
kitsarelistedbelow:
• TheUnitedStatesLP/PropaneGasSeaLevelandHigh
Altitude Conversion Kit (P/N 922311) is for LP/propane
conversion in the United States at altitudes between
zero and 10,000 ft. above sea level.
• TheCanadianLP/Propane Gas Sea Level and High
Altitude Conversion Kit (P/N 922312) is for LP/propane
conversions in Canada at altitudes between zero and
4,500 ft. above sea level.
For installations between zero and 4,999 ft. above sea
level, a #55 drill size orifice should be used. Installations
5,000 ft. above sea level require a # 56 drill size orifice.
Table 4 (page 17) lists the correct orifice sizes and
manifold pressures for operation at different altitudes.
After changing the orifices, it is required that you measure
the gas input rate by clocking the gas meter and using
the local gas heating value. See Verifying the Firing Rate
of the Appliance section on page 19.

Air Circulation
Leave the thermostat system mode on OFF, and set the
fan mode to ON. Blower should run continuously. Check
the air delivery at the supply registers and adjust register
openings for balanced air distribution. Examine ductwork
for leaks or obstruction if insufficient air is detected. Set
the thermostat fan mode to AUTO. The blower should
stop running.
notE: When FAN ON is selected, the blower will operate
at 50% of selected airflow when no call for heating or
cooling is present.

1.Turn ON the manual gas valve, located on the outside
of the unit to the ON position.
2.Check all gas connections for leaks with a soap and
water solution.If the solution bubbles there is a gas leak
which must be corrected.
3.Turn on the electrical power to the appliance.
4.Place the gas valve ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
See Figure 7 (page 20).
5.Set the thermostat above room temperature to begin
the heating cycle of the furnace.
6.Check that the furnace ignites and operates properly.
7.After ignition, visually inspect the burner assembly to
ensure that the flame is drawn directly into the center of
the heat exchanger tube. In a properly adjusted burner
assembly, the flame color should be blue with some light
yellow streaks near the outer portions of the flame.
notE: The ignitor may not ignite the gas until all air is
bled from the gas line. If the ignition control locks out,
turn the thermostat to its lowest setting and wait one
minutethenturnthethermostatabove roomtemperature
and the ignitor will try again to ignite the main burners.
This process may have to be repeated several times
before the burners will ignite. After the burners are lit,
check all gas connections for leaks again with the soap
and water solution.
Verifying System Heating
(2-Stage Heating)
1.Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2. Follow theproceduresgiven on the operatinginstruction
label, in this manual or attached inside the louvered
control access panel.
3.Setthethermostat one degree above room temperature
and verify the Operating Sequence (page 21).
4.Verify that the compressor and outdoor fan motor are
not energized.
5.After determining the system is running (1-2 minutes),
raisethethermostat’s setpointanadditional3-4degrees
until the heating system moves into 2nd stage or high
heat operating mode.The gas valve will energize to high
heat mode while the induced draft motor and indoor
blower motor both increase in speed.
6.After the unit has run for approximately five minutes,
set the thermostat below room temperature and verify
the shutdown sequence; steps 10 -12 in the Operating
Sequence section (page 21).
Verifying & Adjusting Temperature Rise
Verify the temperature rise through the unit is within the
range specified on the unit data label. Temperature rises
outside the specified range could result in premature heat
exchanger failure.
1.Place thermometers in the return and supply air stream
as close to the unit as possible.The thermometer on the
supply air side must be shielded against direct radiation
from the heat exchanger to avoid false readings.
2.Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired
position. Run the unit for 10 to 15 minutes before
taking any temperature readings. The temperature
rise is the difference between the supply and return air
temperatures.
notE: For typical duct systems, the temperature rise will
fall within the range specified on the data label (with the
blower speed at the factory recommended setting) see
in Table 8 (page 28), Table 9 (page 28), Table 10
(page 29), Table 11 (page 30), Table 12 (page 31)
& Table 13 (page 32). If the measured temperature rise
falls outside the specified range, it may be necessary to
change the blower speed. Lowering the blower speed
increases the temperature rise and a higher speed
decreases the temperature rise.
The unit is equipped with an ECM type motors. Speed
selection is made by setting the switches on the motor
control board. See Figure 11 (page 36). notE: For
change in blower speed selection to take effect, system
power must be cycled off then restored after 10 seconds.
Refer to the Blower Speed section (page 13) for
additional information.
The integrated control starts the circulating air blower 22
seconds after the gas valve is opened. The control board
is factory set to turn the blower motor off 120 seconds
after the gas valve is closed.
Gas Supply Pressure Verification &
Adjustment
1.Turn OFF the gas supply at the manual valve located
on the outside of the unit.
2.Using a 3/16” Allen wrench, remove the plug from the
inlet pressure tap (INLET side of gas valve).See Figure
7 (page 20).
3.Install an 1/8” NPT pipe thread fitting, that is compatible
with a Manometer or similar pressure gauge.
4.Connect the Manometer or pressure gauge to the Inlet
Pressure Tap.
5.Turn ON the main gas supply at the manual valve.
6.Check and adjust the incoming gas line pressure to 4.5-
10.0 inches Water Column for Natural gas or 11.0-14.0
inches Water Column if converting unit to LP/Propane
gas.
7.Turn OFF the gas supply at the manual valve.
8.Disconnect the Manometer or pressure gauge.
9. Remove the NPTfittingandreinstallthe INLET pressure
tap plug. Hand tighten the plug first to prevent cross
threading. Tighten with 3/16 Allen wrench.
Verifying the Firing Rate of the Appliance
WARning:
The firing rate must be verified for both LOW and HIGH
fire for each installation to prevent over-firing of the unit.
The firing rate must not exceed the rate shown on the
20
unit data label. To determine the firing rate, follow the
stepsbelow:
1. Obtain thegasheating value (HHV) fromthe gassupplier.
2.Shut off all other gas fired appliances.
3.Start the unit in LOW heating mode and allow it to run
for at least 3 minutes.
4.Measure the time (in seconds) required for the gas
meter to complete one revolution.
5.Convert the time per revolution to cubic feet of gas per
hour using Table 15 (page 33).
6.Multiply the gas flow rate in cubic feet per hour by the
heating value of the gas in Btu per cubic foot to obtain
the firing rate in Btu per hour. See Example.
EXAMPlE
• Timefor1revolutionofagasmeterwitha1cubicfootdial
= 58 seconds.
• FromTable 15, read 62 cubic feet gas per hour.
• Localheatingvalueofthegas(obtainedfromgassupplier)
= 1,040 Btu per cubic foot.
• LowInputrate=1,040x62=64,480Btuh=PASS
7.Record your findings and move unit operation to HIGH
heating mode and Repeat Steps 3-6.
8.Adjust the manifold pressure if necessary by following
the steps in the Measuring & Adusting the Manifold
sections. For additional information about elevations
above 2,000 feet, see High Altitude Conversion section
(page 16).
Measuring the Manifold Pressure
The manifold pressure must be measured for both LOW
and HIGH fire by installing a pressure gauge (Manometer,
Magnehelic Meter, etc.) to the outlet end of the gas valve
asfollows:
1.Turn off all electrical power to the appliance.
2.Shut OFF the gas supply at the manual shutoff valve
located outside of the appliance.
3.Using a 3/16” Allen wrench, remove the manifold
pressure tap plug located on the outlet side of the gas
valve (Figure 7).
4.Install an 1/8”NPT pipe thread fitting, that is compatible
with a Manometer or similar pressure gauge.
5.Connect the Manometer or pressure gauge to the
manifold pressure tap.
6.Set the room thermostat 1 degree above room
temperature To start the furnace on LOW fire.
7.Allow the furnace to operate for 3 minutes and then
check the manifold pressure. Compare the measured
value with the value shown in Table 3 (page 17) for
Natural Gas and Table 4 (page 17) for LP/Propane
gas.Ifthemanifold pressure is not set to theappropriate
pressure, then it must be adjusted.
8.Record your findings and move unit operation to HIGH
heating mode and Repeat Steps 3-6.
Adjusting the Manifold Pressure
notE: If adjustment must be made to either LOW or
HIGHresettingsperformthefollowingsteps:
1.Remove the cap screw from the top of the gas valve
regulator (Figure 7).
2. Using ascrewdriverorAllen wrench(where appropriate),
slowly turn the adjustment screw till the appropriate
manifold pressure listed in Table 3 or Table 4, or the
LOW and/or HIGH firing rate for your specific gas HHV
is achieved.
notE: Turning the screw clockwise increases the
pressure, turning the screw counter-clockwise
decreases the pressure. To prevent the screw from
backing all the way out from the valve, turn the screw
slowly.
3.Replace and tighten the cap screw or the plastic cap
over the adjustment screw.
Removing the Manometer/Pressure Gauge
After the LOW and HIGH manifold pressures are properly
adjusted, the Manometer or pressure gauge must be
removed from the gas valve.
1.Turn the thermostat to its lowest setting.
2.Turn OFF the main gas supply to the unit at the manual
shut-off valve, which is located outside of the unit.
3.Turn OFF all of the electrical power supplies to the unit.
4. Remove the pressure gauge adapter from the gas valve
and replace it with the 1/8” NPT manifold pressure plug
that had been removed earlier. notE: Make sure the
plug is tight and not cross-threaded.
5.Turn ON the electrical power to the unit.
6.Turn ON the main gas supply to the unit at the manual
shut-off valve.
Verifying Over-Temperature Limit Control
