271001-UIM-A-0407

Unitary Products Group 3

INSPECTION

As soon as a unit is received, it should be inspected for possible dam-

age during transit. If damage is evident, the extent of the damage

should be noted on the carrier’s freight bill. A separate request for

inspection by the carrier’s agent should be made in writing. Also, before

installation the unit should be checked for screws or bolts, which may

have loosened in transit. There are no shipping or spacer brackets

which need to be removed.

FURNACE LOCATION AND CLEARANCES

The furnace shall be located using the following guidelines:

1. Where a minimum amount of air intake/vent piping and elbows will

be required.

2. As centralized with the air distribution as possible.

3. Where adequate combustion air will be available (particularly

when the appliance is not using outdoor combustion air).

4. Where it will not interfere with proper air circulation in the confined

space.

5. Where the outdoor vent terminal will not be blocked or restricted.

Refer to “VENT CLEARANCES” located in SECTION VII of these

instructions. These minimum clearances must be maintained in

the installation.

6. Where the unit will be installed in a level position with no more

than 1/4” (6.4 mm) slope side-to-side and front-to-back.

Installation in freezing temperatures:

1. Furnace shall be installed in an area where ventilation facilities

provide for safe limits of ambient temperature under normal oper-

ating conditions. Ambient temperatures may fall below 32° F (0° C)

providing the flue temperature does not fall below 260° F (127° C)

at any point in the flue pipe between the furnace and the chimney

or a B-Vent. The flue products will condense in the vent pipe if the

flue temperature falls below 260° F (127° C) causing the vent pipe

to deteriorate rapidly.

2. Do not allow return air temperature to be below 55º F (13° C) for

extended periods. To do so may cause condensation to occur in

the main heat exchanger, leading to premature heat exchanger

failure.

3. If this furnace is installed in an unconditioned space and an

extended power failure occurs, there will be potential damage to

the internal components. Following a power failure situation, do

not operate the unit until inspection and repairs are performed.

Clearances for access:

Ample clearances should be provided to permit easy access to the unit.

The following minimum clearances are recommended:

1. Twenty-four (24) inches (61 cm) between the front of the furnace

and an adjacent wall or another appliance, when access is

required for servicing and cleaning.

2. Eighteen (18) inches (46 cm) at the side where access is required

for passage to the front when servicing or for inspection or

replacement of flue/vent connections.

In all cases, accessibility clearances shall take precedence over clear-

ances for combustible materials where accessibility clearances are

greater.

Installation in a residential garage:

A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must be

installed so the burner(s) and the ignition source are located not less

than 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor, and the furnace must be located

or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles.

The furnace area must not be used as a broom closet or for any

other storage purposes, as a fire hazard may be created. Never

store items such as the following on, near, or in contact with the fur-

nace.

1. Spray or aerosol cans, rags, brooms, dust mops, vacuum

cleaners or other cleaning tools.

2. Soap powders, bleaches, waxes or other cleaning com-

pounds; plastic items or containers; gasoline, kerosene, ciga-

rette lighter fluid, dry cleaning fluids or other volatile fluid.

3. Paint thinners and other painting compounds.

4. Paper bags, boxes or other paper products

Never operate the furnace with the blower door removed. To

do so could result in serious personal injury and/or equipment

damage.

FOR FURNACES INSTALLED IN THE COMMON-

WEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS ONLY

For all side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment installed in

every dwelling, building or structure used in whole or in part for resi-

dential purposes, including those owned or operated by the Com-

monwealth and where the side wall exhaust vent termination is less

than seven (7) feet above finished grade in the area of the venting,

including but not limited to decks and porches, the following require-

ments shall be satisfied:

1. INSTALLATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. At

the time of installation of the side wall horizontal vented gas

fueled equipment, the installing plumber or gasfitter shall

observe that a hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an

alarm and battery back-up is installed on the floor level where

the gas equipment is to be installed. In addition, the installing

plumber or gasfitter shall observe that a battery operated or

hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm is installed

on each additional level of the dwelling, building or structure

served by the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled equipment.

It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to secure the

services of qualified licensed professionals for the installation of

hard wired carbon monoxide detectors

a. In the event that the side wall horizontally vented gas

fueled equipment is installed in a crawl space or an attic,

the hard wired carbon monoxide detector with alarm and

battery back-up may be installed on the next adjacent floor

level.

b. In the event that the requirements of this subdivision can

not be met at the time of completion of installation, the

owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days to comply with

the above requirements; provided, however, that during

said thirty (30) day period, a battery operated carbon mon-

oxide detector with an alarm shall be installed.

2. APPROVED CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. Each car-

bon monoxide detector as required in accordance with the

above provisions shall comply with NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL

2034 listed and IAS certified.

3. SIGNAGE. A metal or plastic identification plate shall be perma-

nently mounted to the exterior of the building at a minimum

height of eight (8) feet above grade directly in line with the

exhaust vent terminal for the horizontally vented gas fueled

heating appliance or equipment. The sign shall read, in print

size no less than one-half (1/2) inch in size, "GAS VENT

DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUC-

TIONS".

4. INSPECTION. The state or local gas inspector of the side wall

horizontally vented gas fueled equipment shall not approve the

installation unless, upon inspection, the inspector observes car-

bon monoxide detectors and signage installed in accordance

with the provisions of 248 CMR 5.08(2)(a)1 through 4.

SECTION II: DUCTWORK

DUCTWORK GENERAL INFORMATION

The duct system’s design and installation must:

1. Handle an air volume appropriate for the served space and within

the operating parameters of the furnace specifications.

2. Be installed in accordance with standards of NFPA (National Fire

Protection Association) as outlined in NFPA pamphlets 90A and

90B (latest editions) or applicable national, provincial, or state, and

local fire and safety codes.

3. Create a closed duct system. For residential and Modular Home

installations, when a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts

carry air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space con-

taining the furnace, the return air shall also be handled by a duct(s)

sealed to the furnace casing and terminating outside the space

containing the furnace.

4. Complete a path for heated or cooled air to circulate through the

air conditioning and heating equipment and to and from the condi-

tioned space.

When the furnace is used in conjunction with a cooling coil, the coil

must be installed parallel with, or in the supply air side of the furnace to

avoid condensation in the primary heat exchanger. When a parallel flow

arrangement is used, dampers or other means used to control airflow

must be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If

manually operated, the damper must be equipped with means to pre-

vent the furnace or the air conditioner from operating unless the damper

is in full heat or cool position.

DUCTWORK INSTALLATION AND SUPPLY PLENUM

CONNECTION

A proper heat loss/gain calculation should be done on all

installations for proper application of equipment. From this,

the ductwork sizing can be calculated. ACCA Manual J and

D and industry standards are helpful.

Attach the supply plenum to the furnace or coil outlet duct

connection flanges. This is typically through the use of S

cleat material when a metal plenum is used. The use of an

approved flexible duct connector is recommended on all

installations to prevent noise transmission. All connections should be

sealed to prevent air leakage. Sheet metal should be crosshatched to

eliminate any popping when the indoor fan is energized.

When replacing an existing furnace, if the existing supply plenum is not

the same size as the new furnace then the existing plenum must be

removed and a new plenum installed that is of the proper size for the

new furnace. If the plenum is shorter than 12” (30.5 cm) the turbulent air

flow may cause the limit controls not to operate as designed, if at all.

The duct system is a very important part of the installation. If the duct

system is improperly sized the furnace will not operate properly.

The ducts attached to the furnace plenum should be of sufficient size so

that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure and

within the air temperature rise specified on the nameplate.

Table 2 is a guide for determining whether the rectangular duct system

that the furnace is being connected to be of sufficient size for proper fur-

nace operation.

Use the Example below to help you in calculating the duct area to deter-

mine whether the ducts have sufficient area so that the furnace oper-

ates at the specified external static pressure and within the air

temperature rise specified on the nameplate.

The following are general duct sizing guidelines that may not serve to

requirements of every application.

Example: The furnace input is 80,000 BTUH with 1,200 CFM blower

requirement. The recommended duct area is 216 sq.in, there are two 8

x 12 rectangular ducts attached to the plenum and there are two 7 inch

round ducts attached to the furnace.

1. Take 8 x 12, which equals 96 sq.in. X 2, which equals 192 square

inches then go to round duct size located in Table 3.

2. The square inch area for 7 inch round ducts is 38.4 sq. in. x 2 =

76.8 square inches.

3. Then take the 192 square inch from the rectangular duct and add it

to the 76.8 sq.in. of round duct. The total square inch of duct

attached to the furnace supply plenum is 268.8 total square

inches. This exceeds the recommended 216 square inch of duct.

In this example, the duct system attached to the plenum has a sufficient

area so that the furnace operates at the specified external static pres-

sure and within the air temperature rise specified on the nameplate,

providing the return duct is properly sized as well.

1. Special floor base or air conditioning coil required for use on combustible floor.

2. Line contact only permitted between lines formed by the intersection of the rear panel and side panel (top in horizontal position) of the furnace jacket and building

joists, studs or framing.

The cooling coil must be installed in the supply air duct, down-

stream of the furnace. Cooled air may not be passed over the heat

exchanger.

The duct system must be properly sized to obtain the correct airflow

for the furnace size that is being installed.

Refer to Table 8 and the furnace rating plate for the correct rise

range and static pressures

If the ducts are undersized, the result will be high duct static pres-

sures and/or high temperature rises which can result in a heat

exchanger OVERHEATING CONDITION. This condition can result

in premature heat exchanger failure, which can result in personal

injury, property damage, or death.

271001-UIM-A-0407

1. The Air Temperature Rise is determined by subtracting the Return

Air Temperature Reading from the Supply Air Temperature Read-

ing.

2. The External Static Pressure is determined by adding the Supply

Duct Static Pressure reading to the Return Duct Static Pressure

reading and adding the pressure drop across any applied a-coil

and return air filter.

Tables 2 and 3 are to be used as a guide only to help the installer deter-

mine if the duct sizes are large enough to obtain the proper air flow

(CFM) through the furnace. Tables 2 and 3 ARE NOT to be used to

design ductwork for the building where the furnace is being installed.

There are several variables associated with proper duct sizing that are

not included in the tables. To properly design the ductwork for the build-

ing, refer to the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook, Chapter on “DUCT

DESIGN” or a company that specializes in Residential and Modular

Home duct designs.

IMPORTANT: The minimum plenum height is 12” (30.5 cm). The fur-

nace will not operate properly on a shorter plenum height. The mini-

mum recommended rectangular duct height is 4 inches (10 cm)

attached to the plenum.

IMPORTANT: The air temperature rise should be taken only after the

furnace has been operating for at least 15 minutes. Temperatures and

external static pressures should be taken 6” (15 cm) past the first bend

from the furnace in the supply duct and the return duct. If an external fil-

ter box or an electronic air cleaner is installed, take the return air read-

ings before the filter box or air cleaner.

If a matching cooling coil is used, it may be placed directly on the fur-

nace outlet and sealed to prevent leakage. Follow the coil instructions

for installing the supply plenum. On all installations without a coil, a

removable access panel is recommended in the outlet duct such that

smoke or reflected light would be observable inside the casing to indi-

cate the presence of leaks in the heat exchanger. This access cover

shall be attached in such a manner as to prevent leaks.

The supply air temperature MUST NEVER exceed the Maximum

Outlet Air Temperature, specified on the nameplate.

Operating the furnace above the maximum outlet air temperature

will cause the heat exchanger to overheat, causing premature heat

exchanger failure. Improper duct sizing, dirty air filters, incorrect

manifold pressure, incorrect gas orifice and/or a faulty limit switch

can cause the furnace to operate above the maximum supply air

temperature. Refer to sections II, III and VIII for additional informa-

tion on correcting the problem.

RETURN PLENUM CONNECTION

Return air may enter the furnace through the side(s) or bottom depend-

ing on the type of application. Return air may not be connected into the

rear panel of the unit. In order to achieve the airflow indicated, it is rec-

ommended those applications over 1800 CFM (57 m³/min) use return

air from two sides, one side and the bottom or bottom only. For single

return application, see data and notes on blower performance data

tables in this manual.

BOTTOM RETURN AND ATTIC INSTALLATIONS

Bottom return applications normally pull return air through a base plat-

form or return air plenum. Be sure the return platform structure or return

air plenum is suitable to support the weight of the furnace.

The furnace base is equipped with a rectangular blockoff panel that can

be removed by performing the following steps:

1. Lay the furnace on its back.

2. Remove the screws from the toe plate.

3. Remove the toe plate.

4. Pull the base plate out of the furnace base.

5. Reinstall the toe plate and secure with the screws that were

removed.

Attic installations must meet all minimum clearances to combustibles

and have floor support with required service accessibility.

IMPORTANT: If an external mounted filter rack is being used see the

instructions provided with that accessory for proper hole cut size.

HORIZONTAL MODELS

Horizontal Installations With a Cooling Coil Cabinet

The furnace should be installed with coil cabinet part number specifi-

cally intended for Horizontal application. If a matching cooling coil is

used, it may be placed directly on the furnace outlet and sealed to pre-

vent leakage. Follow the coil instructions for installing the supply ple-

num. For details of the coil cabinet dimensions and installation

requirements, refer to the installation instructions supplied with the coil

cabinet

Attach the supply plenum to the air conditioning coil cabinet outlet duct

flanges through the use of S cleat material when a metal plenum is

used. The use of an approved flexible duct connector is recommended

on all installations. The connection to the furnace, air conditioning coil

cabinet and the supply plenum should be sealed to prevent air leakage.

The sheet metal should be crosshatched to eliminate any popping of

the sheet metal when the indoor fan is energized.

The minimum plenum height is 12” (30.5 cm). If the plenum is shorter

than 12” (30.5 cm) the turbulent air flow may cause the limit controls not

to operate as designed, or the limit controls may not operate at all. Also

the plastic drain pan in the air conditioning coil can overheat and melt.

Refer to the installation instructions supplied with the air conditioning

coil for additional information.

Horizontal Installations Without a Cooling Coil Cabinet

When installing this appliance, the furnace must be installed so as to

create a closed duct system, the supply duct system must be con-

nected to the furnace outlet and the supply duct system must terminate

outside the space containing the furnace. When replacing an existing

furnace, if the existing plenum is not the same size as the new furnace

then the existing plenum must be removed and a new plenum installed

that is the proper size for the new furnace.

Attach the supply plenum to the furnace outlet duct flanges through the

use of S cleat material when a metal plenum is used. The use of an

approved flexible duct connector is recommended on all installations.

This connection should be sealed to prevent air leakage. The sheet

metal should be crosshatched to eliminate any popping of the sheet

metal when the indoor fan is energized. On all installations without a

coil, a removable access panel is recommended in the outlet duct such

that smoke or reflected light would be observable inside the casing to

indicate the presence of leaks in the heat exchanger. This access cover

shall be attached in such a manner as to prevent leaks.

Residential and Modular Home Horizontal Return Plenum

Connections

The return duct system must be connected to the furnace inlet and the

return duct system must terminate outside the space containing the fur-

nace. When replacing an existing furnace, if the existing plenum is not

the same size as the new furnace then the existing plenum must be

removed and a new plenum installed that is the proper size for the new

furnace.

Attach the return plenum to the furnace inlet duct flanges. This is typi-

cally through the use of S cleat material when a metal plenum is used.

The use of an approved flexible duct connector is recommended on all

installations. The connection of the plenum to the furnace and all the

ducts connecting to the plenum must be sealed to prevent air leakage.

The sheet metal should be crosshatched to eliminate any popping of

the sheet metal when the indoor fan is energized.

The duct system is a very important part of the installation. If the duct

system is improperly sized the furnace will not operate properly. The

ducts attached to the furnace must be of sufficient size so that the fur-

nace operates at the specified external static pressure and within the air

temperature rise specified on the nameplate.

Attic installations must meet all minimum clearances to combustibles

and have floor support with required service accessibility.

IMPORTANT: if an external mounted filter rack is being used see the

instructions provided with that accessory for proper hole cut size.

ATTIC INSTALLATION

This appliance is design certified for line contact when the furnace is

installed in the horizontal left or right position. The line contact is only

permissible between lines that are formed by the intersection of the top

and two sides of the furnace and the building joists, studs or framing.

This line may be in contact with combustible material.

SUSPENDED FURNACE / CRAWL SPACE

INSTALLATION

The furnace can be hung from floor joists or installed on suitable blocks

or pad. Blocks or pad installations shall provide adequate height to

ensure the unit will not be subject to water damage. Units may also be

suspended from rafters or floor joists using rods, pipe angle supports or

straps. Angle supports should be placed at the supply air end and near

the blower deck. Do not support at return air end of unit. All four sus-

pension points must be level to ensure quite furnace operation. When

suspending the furnace use a secure platform constructed of plywood

or other building material secured to the floor joists. Refer to Figure 3

for typical crawl space installation.

FIGURE 2: Typical Attic Installation

When a furnace is installed in an attic or other insulated space,

keep all insulating materials at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from

furnace and burner combustion air openings.

SECTION III: FILTERS

FILTER INSTALLATION

All applications require the use of an internal or external filter. Filter(s)

and the filter retainer are not provided on all models Some models are

shipped with a high velocity filter that must be field installed. A field-sup-

plied external filter and filter retainer hardware must be provided if the

filter and the filter retainer are not shipped with the furnace. Refer to

Table 5 for the recommended filter size.

SIDE RETURN - EXTERNAL INSTALLATION

Locate and knock out the square corner locators. These indicate the

size of the cutout to be made in the furnace side panel. Refer to Figure 4.

Install the side filter rack following the instructions provided with that

accessory. If a filter(s) is provided at another location in the return air

system, the ductwork may be directly attached to the furnace side

panel.

IMPORTANT: Some accessories such as electronic air cleaners and

pleated media may require a larger side opening. Follow the instruc-

tions supplied with that accessory for side opening requirements. Do

not cut the opening larger than the dimensions shown in Figure 1.

HORIZONTAL APPLICATION

Horizontal Filters

All filters and mounting provision must be field supplied. Filters(s) may

be located in the duct system external to the furnace or in a return filter

grille(s). Filters(s) may be located in the duct system using an external

duct filter box attached to the furnace plenum. Any branch duct (rectan-

gular or round duct) attached to the plenum must attach to the vertical

plenum above the filter height. The use of straps and / or supports is

required to support the weight of the external filter box.

IMPORTANT: Air velocity through throwaway type filters must not

exceed 300 feet per minute (91 m/min). All velocities over this require

the use of high velocity filters. Refer to Table 15.

SECTION IV: GAS PIPING

GAS SAFETY

IMPORTANT: Plan your gas supply before determining the correct gas

pipe entry. Use 90-degree service elbow(s), or short nipples and con-

ventional 90-degree elbow(s) to enter through the cabinet access holes.

GAS PIPING INSTALLATION

Properly sized wrought iron, approved flexible or steel pipe must be

used when making gas connections to the unit. If local codes allow the

use of a flexible gas appliance connection, always use a new listed con-

nector. Do not use a connector that has previously serviced another gas

appliance.

Some utility companies or local codes require pipe sizes larger than the

minimum sizes listed in these instructions and in the codes. The fur-

nace rating plate and the instructions in this section specify the type of

gas approved for this furnace - only use those approved gases. The

installation of a drip leg and ground union is required. Refer to Figures 6

and 7.

MARKINGS

An overpressure protection device, such as a pressure regulator,

must be installed in the gas piping system upstream of the furnace

and must act to limit the downstream pressure to the gas valve so it

does not exceed 0.5 PSI (14" w.c. (3.48 kPa). Pressures exceeding

0.5 PSI (14” w.c. (3.48 kPa) at the gas valve will cause damage to

the gas valve, resulting in a fire or explosion or cause damage to

the furnace or some of its components that will result in property

damage and loss of life.

IMPORTANT: An accessible manual shutoff valve must be installed

upstream of the furnace gas controls and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of the fur-

nace.

The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by

closing its individual external manual shutoff valve during any pressure

testing of the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less

than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Gas piping may be connected from either side of the furnace using any

of the gas pipe entry knockouts on both sides of the furnace. Refer to

Figure 1 dimensions.

GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION FOR PROPANE (LP)

This furnace is constructed at the factory for natural gas-fired operation,

but may be converted to operate on propane (LP) gas by using a fac-

tory-supplied LP conversion kit. Follow the instructions supplied with

the LP kit. Refer to Table 6 or the instructions in the propane (LP) con-

version kit for the proper gas orifice size.

HIGH ALTITUDE GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION

This furnace is constructed at the factory for natural gas-fired operation

at 0 – 8,000 feet (0-m – 2,438 m) above sea level.

The manifold pressure must be changed in order to maintain proper

and safe operation when the furnace is installed in a location where the

altitude is greater than 8,000 feet (2,438 m) above sea level. Refer to

Tables 6 and 7 for proper manifold pressure settings.

HIGH ALTITUDE PRESSURE SWITCH CONVERSION

For installation where the altitude is less than 8,000 feet (2,438 m), it is

not required that the pressure switch be changed. For altitudes above

8,000 feet (2,438 m), see Table 17 Field Installed Accessories - High

Altitude Pressure Switch

FIGURE 7: Horizontal Gas Piping

The gas valve body is a very thin casting that cannot take any

external pressure. Never apply a pipe wrench to the body of the gas

valve when installing piping. A wrench must be placed on the octag-

onal hub located on the gas inlet side of the valve. Placing a wrench

to the body of the gas valve will damage the valve causing improper

operation and/or the valve to leak.

SECTION V: ELECTRICAL POWER

Electrical Power Connections

Field wiring to the unit must be grounded. Electric wires that are field

installed shall conform to the temperature limitation of 63°F (35°C) rise

when installed in accordance with these instructions. Refer to Table 8 in

these instructions for specific furnace electrical data.

1. Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) numbers are determined in accordance with DOE Test procedures.

2. Field wiring and over-current protection (Max Fuse Size) must conform to and be grounded in accordance ANSI/NFPA

No. 70-latest edition or the Canadian Electrical Code C222.1 Part 1-latest edition and / or local codes.

3. Wire size based on copper conductors, 60º C, 3% voltage drop. "Unit Amps" refers to the full load current.

4. Min wire size (awg) @ 75 ft. one way refers to the minimum recommended field installed wire size.

PROPANE AND HIGH ALTITUDE CONVERSION KITS

It is very important to choose the correct kit and/or gas orifices for the altitude and the type of gas for which the furnace is being installed.

Only use natural gas in furnaces designed for natural gas. Only use propane (LP) gas for furnaces that have been properly converted to use pro-

pane (LP) gas. Do not use this furnace with butane gas.

Incorrect gas orifices or a furnace that has been improperly converted will create an extremely dangerous condition resulting in premature heat

exchanger failure, excessive sooting, high levels of carbon monoxide, personal injury, property damage, a fire hazard and/or death.

High altitude and propane (LP) conversions are required in order for the appliance to satisfactory meet the application.

An authorized distributor or dealer must make all gas conversions.

In Canada, a certified conversion station or other qualified agency, using factory specified and/or approved parts, must perform the conversion.

The installer must take every precaution to insure that the furnace has been converted to the proper gas orifice size when the furnace is installed.

Do not attempt to drill out any orifices to obtain the proper orifice size. Drilling out a gas orifice will cause misalignment of the burner flames,

causing premature heat exchanger burnout, high levels of carbon monoxide, excessive sooting, a fire hazard, personal injury, property damage

and/or death.

Use copper conductors only.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT: The power connection leads and wiring box may be relo-

cated to the left side of the furnace. Remove the screws and cut wire tie

holding excess wiring. Reposition on the left side of the furnace and fas-

ten using holes provided.

1. Provide a power supply separate from all other circuits. Install

overcurrent protection and disconnect switch per local/national

electrical codes. The switch should be close to the unit for conve-

nience in servicing. With the disconnect or fused switch in the OFF

position, check all wiring against the unit wiring label. Refer to the

wiring diagram, Figure 28, in this instruction.

2. Remove the screws retaining the junction box cover. Route the

power wiring through the opening in the unit into the junction box

with a conduit connector or other proper connection. In the junc-

tion box there will be three wires, a Black Wire, a White Wire and a

Green Wire. Connect the power supply as shown on the unit wiring

label on the inside of the blower compartment door or Figure 8.

The black furnace lead must be connected to the L1 (hot) wire

from the power supply. The white furnace lead must be connected

to neutral. Connect the green furnace lead (equipment ground) to

the power supply ground. An alternate wiring method is to use a

field provided 2” (5.1 cm) x 4” (10.2 cm) box and cover on the out-

side of the furnace. Route the furnace leads into the box using a

protective bushing where the wires pass through the furnace

panel. After making the wiring connections replace the wiring box

cover and screws.

3. The furnace's control system requires correct polarity of the power

supply and a proper ground connection. If the power supply polar-

ity is reversed, the control board will flash 9 times. The furnace will

not operate until the polarity is corrected. Refer to "FURNACE

DIAGNOSTICS" section of the “User’s Information, Maintenance,

& Service Manual” provided with this furnace for symptoms of

reversed power supply polarity.

LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL WIRING CONNECTIONS

Install the field-supplied thermostat by following the instructions that

come with the thermostat. With the thermostat set in the OFF position

and the main electrical source disconnected, connect the thermostat

wiring from the wiring connections on the thermostat to the terminal

board on the ignition module, as shown in Figures 9 & 10. Electronic

thermostats may require the common wire to be connected as shown in

Figures 9 & 10. Apply strain relief to thermostat wires passing through

cabinet. If air conditioning equipment is installed, use thermostat wiring

to connect the Y and C terminals on the furnace control board to the

proper wires on the condensing unit (unit outside).

IMPORTANT: Some electronic thermostats do not have adjustable

heat anticipators. They may have other type cycle rate adjustments.

Follow the thermostat manufacturer's instructions.

The 24-volt, 40 VA transformer is sized for the furnace components

only, and should not be connected to power auxiliary devices such as

humidifiers, air cleaners, etc. The transformer may provide power for an

air conditioning unit contactor.

For additional connection diagrams for all UPG equipment refer to “Low

CATEGORY 1 - 450 F. MAX. VENT TEMP.

The venting system must be installed in accordance with Section 5.3,

Air for Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code

Z223.1/NFPA 54 (latest edition), or Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of CSA

B149.1, National Gas and Propane Codes (latest edition) or applicable

provisions of the local building code and these instructions.

The furnace shall be connected to any type of B, BW or L vent connec-

tor, and shall be connected to a factory-built or masonry chimney. The

furnace shall not be connected to a chimney flue serving a sepa-

rate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.

The furnace rating plate lists the maximum vent gas temperature. This

temperature must be used to select the appropriate venting materials

and clearances.

It is recommended that the appliance is installed in a location where the

space temperature is 32 °F (0°C) or higher. If the appliance is installed

in a location where the ambient temperature is below 32 °F (0°C), the

combustion byproducts could condense causing damage to the appli-

ance heat exchanger.

IMPORTANT: The “VENT SYSTEM” must be installed as specified in

these instructions for Residential and Modular Homes.

This appliance may be common vented with another gas appliance for

residential installations as allowed by the codes and standards listed in

these instructions.

Approved Modular Homes must be vented with an approved roof jack

and may not be common vented with other appliances.

VENTING

Category I venting consists of vertically venting one or more appliances

in B-vent or masonry chimney (as allowed), using single wall metal pipe

or B-vent connectors. Type B-vent system extends in a general vertical

direction and does not contain offsets exceeding 45 degrees. A vent

system having not more than one 60 degree offset is permitted.

The vent system must be attached to the flue collar with a minimum of 2

mechanical fasteners such as screws or rivets. See Figure 18.

VENTING INTO AN EXISTING CHIMNEY

For Category I installations, the furnace shall be connected to a factory

built chimney or vent complying with a recognized standard, or a

masonry or concrete chimney lined with a material acceptable to the

authority having jurisdiction. Venting into an unlined masonry chimney

or concrete chimney is prohibited.

Whenever possible, B-1 metal pipe should be used for venting. Where

use of an existing chimney is unavoidable, the following rules must be

followed:

1. The masonry chimney must be built and installed in accordance

with nationally recognized building codes or standards and must

be lined with approved fire clay tile flue liners or other approved

liner material that will resist corrosion, softening, or cracking from

flue gases. THIS FURNACE IS NOT TO BE VENTED INTO AN

UNLINED MASONRY CHIMNEY.

2. This furnace must be vented into a fire clay tile lined masonry

chimney only if a source of dilution air is provided, such as by com-

mon venting with a draft hood equipped water heater. If no source

of dilution air is available, Type B vent must be used, or masonry

chimney vent kit 1CK0603 or 1CK0604 must be used. Refer to the

instructions with the kit to properly apply these masonry chimney

kits.

3. The chimney must extend at least 3 ft (0.91 m) above the highest

point where it passes through a roof of a building and at least two

feet higher than any portion of the building with a horizontal dis-

tance of ten feet.

4. The chimney must extend at least 5 ft (1.5 m) above the highest

equipment draft hood or flue collar.

HORIZONTAL SIDEWALL VENTING

For applications where vertical venting is not possible, the only

approved method of horizontal venting is the use of an auxiliary power

vent. Approved power venters are Fields Controls Model SWG-4Y or

the appropriate Tjernlund GPAK model. Follow all application and

installation details provided by the manufacturer of the power vent. This

unit may be horizontally vented using 4” (10.2 cm) diameter pipe with a

minimum length of 4.5 feet (1.37 m) and a maximum length of 34.5 feet

(10.82 m) with up to 4 elbows.

VENT CLEARANCES

IMPORTANT: The vent must be installed with the following minimum

clearances as shown in Figure 17, and must comply with local codes

and requirements.

† A vent shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway that is located between two single family dwellings and serves both dwellings.

‡ Permitted only if veranda, porch, deck, or balcony is fully open on a minimum of two sides beneath the floor. For clearance not specified in ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA

54 or CSA B149.1-00.

Clearance in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier and the manufacturer’s Installation Manual.

Any fresh air or make up inlet for dryer or furnace area is considered to be forced air inlet.

Avoid areas where condensate drippage may cause problems such as above planters, patios, or adjacent to windows where steam may cause fogging.

A terminus of a vent shall be either:

Fitted with a cap in accordance with the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions, or In accordance with the installation instructions for a special venting system.

* Does not apply to multiple installations of this furnace model. Refer to "VENTING MULTIPLE UNITS" in this section of these instructions.

IMPORTANT: Consideration must be given for degradation of building materials by flue gases. Sidewall termination may require sealing or shielding of building surfaces

with a corrosion resistant material to protect against combustion product corrosion. Consideration must be given to wind direction in order to prevent flue products and/

or condensate from being blown against the building surfaces. If a metal shield is used it must be a stainless steel material at a minimum dimension of 20 inches. It is

recommended that a retaining type collar be used that is attached to the building surface to prevent movement of the vent pipe.

Responsibility for the provision of proper adequate venting and air supply for application shall rest with the installer.

Vent shall extend high enough above building, or a neighboring obstruction, so that wind from any direction will not create a positive pressure in the vicinity of the vent.

HORIZONTAL VENT APPLICATIONS AND

TERMINATION

When selecting the location for a horizontal combustion air / vent termi-

nation, the following should be considered:

1. Observe all clearances listed in vent clearances in these instruc-

tions.

2. Termination should be positioned where vent vapors will not dam-

age plants or shrubs or air conditioning equipment.

3. Termination should be located where it will not be affected by wind

gusts, light snow, airborne leaves or allow recirculation of flue

gases.

4. Termination should be located where it will not be damaged or

exposed to flying stones, balls, etc.

5. Termination should be positioned where vent vapors are not objec-

tionable.

6. Horizontal portions of the vent system must slope upwards and be

supported to prevent sagging. The vent system may be supported

by the use of clamps or hangers secured to a permanent part of

the structure every 4 ft. (1.22 m).

FAN-ASSISTED COMBUSTION SYSTEM

This appliance is equipped with an integral mechanical means to draw

products of combustion through the heat exchanger.

Ambient Combustion Air Supply

This type installation will draw the air required for combustion from

within the space surrounding the appliance and from areas or rooms

adjacent to the space surrounding the appliance. This may be from

within the space in a non-confined location or it may be brought into the

furnace area from outdoors through permanent openings or ducts. A

single, properly sized pipe from the furnace vent connector to the out-

doors must be provided. For upflow models combustion air is brought

into the furnace through the unit top panel opening.

An unconfined space is not less than 50 cu.ft (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu/

hr (0.2928 kW) input rating for all of the appliances installed in that

area.

Rooms communicating directly with the space containing the appli-

ances are considered part of the unconfined space, if openings are not

furnished with doors.

A confined space is an area with less than 50 cu.ft (1.42 m3) per 1,000

Btu/hr (0.2928 kW) input rating for all of the appliances installed in that

area. The following must be considered to obtain proper air for combus-

tion and ventilation in confined spaces.

Combustion Air Source From Outdoors

The blocking effects of louvers, grilles and screens must be given con-

sideration in calculating free area. If the free area of a specific louver or

grille is not known, refer to Table 10, to estimate free area.

+ Do not use less than 1/4” mesh

*Free area of louvers and grille varies widely; the installer should follow louver or grille

manufacturer’s instructions.

Dampers, Louvers and Grilles (Canada Only)

1. The free area of a supply air opening shall be calculated by sub-

tracting the blockage area of all fixed louvers grilles or screens

from the gross area of the opening.

2. Apertures in a fixed louver, a grille, or screen shall have no dimen-

sion smaller than 0.25” (6.4 mm).

3. A manually operated damper or manually adjustable louvers are

not permitted for use.

4. A automatically operated damper or automatically adjustable lou-

vers shall be interlocked so that the main burner cannot operate

unless either the damper or the louver is in the fully open position.

FIGURE 18: Combustion Airflow Path Through The Furnace

This type of installation requires that the supply air to the appli-

ance(s) be of a sufficient amount to support all of the appliance(s)

in the area. Operation of a mechanical exhaust, such as an exhaust

fan, kitchen ventilation system, clothes dryer or fireplace may cre-

ate conditions requiring special attention to avoid unsatisfactory

operation of gas appliances. A venting problem or a lack of supply

air will result in a hazardous condition, which can cause the appli-

ance to soot and generate dangerous levels of CARBON MONOX-

IDE, which can lead to serious injury, property damage and / or

death.

Ventilated Combustion Air

The ventilated attic space or a crawl space from which the combustion

air is taken must comply with the requirements specified in “AIR

SOURCE FROM OUTDOORS” in this instruction or in Section 5.3, Air

for Combustion and Ventilation of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1 (latest edition). This type installation requires two properly sized

pipes. One brings combustion air from a properly ventilated attic space

or crawl space and a second pipe that extends from the furnace vent

connection (top right of unit) to the exterior of the building.

Vent and Supply (Outside) Air Safety Check Procedure

For Category I furnaces, vent installations shall be in accordance with

Parts 7 and 11 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,

and or Section 7 and Appendix B of the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and

Propane Installation Codes, the local building codes, furnace and vent

manufacture's instructions.

Multi-story or common venting systems are permitted and must be

installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA 54 and / or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installa-

tion Codes, local codes, and the manufacture's instructions.

Vent connectors serving Category I furnaces shall not be connected

into any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under positive

pressure.

Horizontal portions of the venting system shall be supported to prevent

sagging using hangers or perforated straps and must slope upwards

not less than 1/4" per foot (0.635 cm/m) from the furnace to the vent ter-

minal.

It is recommended that you follow the venting safety procedure below.

This procedure is designed to detect an inadequate ventilation system

that can cause the appliances in the area to operate improperly causing

unsafe levels of Carbon Monoxide or an unsafe condition to occur.

SECTION VII: SAFETY CONTROLS

CONTROL CIRCUIT FUSE

A 3-amp fuse is provided on the control circuit board to protect the 24-

volt transformer from overload caused by control circuit wiring errors.

This is an ATO 3, automotive type fuse and is located on the control

board.

BLOWER DOOR SAFETY SWITCH

This unit is equipped with an electrical interlock switch mounted in the

blower compartment. This switch interrupts all power at the unit when

the panel covering the blower compartment is removed.

Electrical supply to this unit is dependent upon the panel that covers the

blower compartment being in place and properly positioned.

ROLLOUT SWITCH CONTROLS

These controls are mounted on the burner assembly. If the temperature

around the burner exceeds the set point, the ignition control and the

gas valve are de-energized. The operation of this control indicates a

malfunction in the combustion air blower, heat exchanger or a blocked

vent pipe connection. Corrective action is required. These are manual

reset controls that must be reset before operation can continue.

PRESSURE SWITCHES

This furnace is supplied with two pressure switches, which monitor the

flow through the combustion air/vent piping system. This switches de-

energize the ignition control module and the gas valve if any of the fol-

lowing conditions are present. Refer to Figure 24 for tubing connec-

tions.

1. Blockage of vent piping or terminal.

2. Failure of combustion air blower motor.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon-

monxide poisoning or death.

The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances

connected to the venting system are not in operation:

1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.

2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the

CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and these instructions. Determine that there is not blockage or restriction, leak-

age, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the vent-

ing system are located and other spaces of the building.

4. Close fireplace dampers.

5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bath-

room exhausts, so they are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.

6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance is operating contin-

uously.

7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the

flame of a match or candle.

8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return

doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

Main power to the unit must still be interrupted at the main power

disconnect switch before any service or repair work is to be done to

the unit. Do not rely upon the interlock switch as a main power dis-

connect.

Blower and burner must never be operated without the blower

panel in place.

LIMIT CONTROLS

There is a high temperature limit control located on the furnace vesti-

bule panel near the gas valve. This is an automatic reset control that

provides over temperature protection due to reduced airflow. This may

be caused by:

1. A dirty filter.

2. If the indoor fan motor should fail.

3. Too many supply or return registers closed or blocked off.

The control module will lockout if the limit trips 5 consecutive times.

Control will reset & try ignition again after 1 hour.

SECTION VIII: START-UP AND

ADJUSTMENTS

The initial start-up of the furnace requires the following additional

procedures:

IMPORTANT: All electrical connections made in the field and in the fac-

tory should be checked for proper tightness.

When the gas supply is initially connected to the furnace, the gas piping

may be full of air. In order to purge this air, it is recommended that the

ground union be loosened until the odor of gas is detected. When gas is

detected, immediately retighten the union and check for leaks. Allow

five minutes for any gas to dissipate before continuing with the start-up

procedure. Be sure proper ventilation is available to dilute and carry

away any vented gas.

NOx SCREEN REMOVAL (Lo-NOx Models Only)

If the furnace is equipped with NOx screens and is to be used with LP

(propane) gas, the screens must be removed prior to startup.

1. Make sure that the electrical power to the unit is turned off and that

the gas supply is turned off at the shutoff valve.

2. Remove the blower compartment and burner compartment access

doors.

3. Disconnect the gas supply piping at the union to permit removal of

the entire burner and gas control assembly from the vestibule

panel. Use the wrench boss on the gas valve when removing or

installing the piping.

4. Unplug the ignitor from the wire harness. Disconnect the flame

sensor wires located on top of the air shield. Unplug the gas valve

from the wiring harness.

5. Remove the ignitor and ignitor bracket. Handle the ignitor very

carefully since it is fragile and easily broken.

6. Remove the screws holding the burner assembly to the vestibule

panel. It may be necessary to remove the rollout switch bracket(s)

to gain access to one or more of these screws.

7. Remove the burner assembly. It should be possible to swing the

burner assembly out of the way without disconnecting the remain-

ing wires.

8. With the burner assembly out of the way, simply slide the NOx

screens out of the heat exchanger tubes and discard the screens.

9. Replace all components in reverse order. Reconnect all wiring.

TOOLS AND INFORMATION THAT WILL BE

REQUIRED IN ORDER TO PROPERLY PERFORM THE

FURNACE STARTUP PROCEDURE.

1. Call the local gas supplier to obtain heating value of the natural

gas. If you cannot obtain the heating valve of the gas from the gas

supplier, you may use a default value of 1030 BTU/SCF (38.8 MJ /

m³).

2. You will need a thermometer or portable digital thermometer to

read the supply and return air temperatures.

3. You will need a U-tube manometer or digital equipment that has

the ability to read pressures between 0 – 15” in.w.c (0 - 3.73 kPa)

in order to measure the gas line and the manifold pressures.

4. You will need a 3/32” Allen wrench for the pressure port plugs in

the gas valve.

5. You will need 2 pieces of 1/8” (0.3 cm) ID flexible tubing that is 12”

(30 cm) in length, 2 – pieces of 1/8” (0.3 cm) tubing that are 4”

(10.0 cm) in length, a 1/8” (0.3 cm) tee and a 1/8” (0.3 cm) adapter

to connect the U-tube manometer or the digital pressure measur-

ing equipment to the gas valve pressure ports.

There is an accessory kit (1PK0601) available from Source 1, which

has the following items:

• 1 - 12” (30 cm) length x 1/8” (0.3 cm) diameter tubing

• 2 – pieces of 4” (10 cm) length x 1/8” (0.3 cm) diameter tubing

• 1 - 5/16” (0.8 cm) tee

• 1 – 5/16” (0.8 cm) x 1/8” (3.175 mm) reducing coupling

• 1 – 1/8” (0.3 cm) adapter

There is a accessory kit (1PK0602) available from Source 1, which has

the following items:

• 12” (30 cm) length x 1/8” (0.3 cm) diameter tubing

• 2 – pieces of 4” (10 cm) length x 1/8” (0.3 cm) diameter tubing

• 1 - 5/16” (0.8 cm) tee

• 1 – 5/16” (0.8 cm) x 1/8” (0.3 cm) reducing coupling

• 1 – 1/8” (0.3 cm) adapter

• 1 - Dwyer – Manometer

These items are required in order to properly perform the required star-

tup procedure.

IGNITION SYSTEM SEQUENCE

1. Turn the gas supply ON at external valve and main gas valve.

2. Set the thermostat above room temperature to call for heat.

3. System start-up will occur as follows:

a. The induced draft blower motor will start and come up to

speed. Shortly after inducer start-up, the hot surface igniter

will glow for about 17 seconds.

b. After this warm up, the ignition module will energize (open)

the main gas valve.

c. After flame is established, the supply air blower will start in

about 30 seconds.

IMPORTANT: Burner ignition may not be satisfactory on first startup

due to residual air in the gas line or until gas manifold pressure is

adjusted. The ignition control will make 3 attempts to light before lock-

ing out.

With furnace in operation, check all of the pipe joints, gas valve connec-

tions and manual valve connections for leakage using an approved gas

detector, a non-corrosive leak detection fluid, or other leak detection

methods. Take appropriate steps to stop any leak. If a leak persists,

replace the component.

The furnace and its equipment shutoff valve must be disconnected from

the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system

at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa).

CALCULATING THE FURNACE INPUT

(NATURAL GAS)

NOTE: Burner orifices are sized to provide proper input rate using natu-

ral gas with a heating value of 1030 BTU/Ft3(38.8 MJ/m3). If the

heating value of your gas is significantly different, it may be nec-

essary to replace the orifices.

NOTE: Front door of burner box must be secured when checking gas

input.

1. Turn off all other gas appliances connected to the gas meter.

2. At the gas meter, measure the time (with a stop watch) it takes to

use 2 cubic ft. (0.0566 m3.) of gas.

3. Calculate the furnace input by using one of the following equa-

tions.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in serious

injury, death or property damage.

Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially

available soap solution made specifically for the detection of leaks

to check all connections. A fire or explosion may result causing

property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
