IAGNOSTICS
Accessing the furnace’s diagnostics menu provides ready ac-
cess to the last ten faults detected by the furnace. Faults
are stored most recent to least recent. Any consecutively
repeated fault is stored a maximum of three times. Ex-
ample: A clogged return air filter causes the furnace limit to
trip repeatedly. The control will only store this fault the
first three
consecutive
times the fault occurs.
NOTE:
It is highly recommended that the fault history be
cleared when performing maintenance or servicing the fur-
nace.

The indoor control is equipped with a bank of three DIP
switches that provide biasing and termination functions for
the communications transmission lines. The outdoor con-
trol in the communicating compatible unit is equipped with
a bank of two DIP switches that provide termination func-
tions for the communications transmission lines. Commu-
nications errors will result if these switches are not cor-
rectly set. Note that the ON position is the correct position
for furnace control board bias and pull up/pull down DIP
switches. Communications is achieved by the difference
between two DC signals. The signals and transmission

lines are referred to as “data 1” and “data 2.” Typically, the
data 1 line is approximately 2.8 VDC and the data 2 trans-
mission line is approximately 2.2 VDC. The voltage differ-
ence between data 1 and data 2 must be 0.6 VDC.
The ComfortNet™ system is a fully communicating system, and
thus, constitutes a network. Occasionally the need to trouble-
shoot the network may arise. The furnace control board has
some on-board tools that may be used to troubleshoot the net-
work. These tools are: red communications LED, green receive
(Rx) LED, and learn button.
•
Red communications LED – Indicates the status of
the network. The following table indicates the LED
status and the corresponding potential problem.
•
Green receive LED – Indicates network traffic. The
table below indicates the LED status and the
corresponding potential problem.
•
Learn button – Used to reset the network. Depress
the button for approximately 2 seconds to reset the
network.
