9. The furnace is now operating on the specified stage

called out by the two stage thermostat.

10. If the two stage thermostat changes the call from low

heat to high heat, the control will immediately switch the

induced draft blower gas valve, and air circulating

speed to their high stage setting.

11. If the two stage thermostat changes the call from high

heat to low heat, the control will immediately switch the

induced draft blower to low speed and switch the flow

rate on the gas valve to low. The air circulation blower

will remain on high heating speed for thirty seconds

before switching to the low heat circulating speed. The

30 second delay feature on the circulator speed elimi-

nates the possibility of tripping the high (primary) limit

when the high stage flue products are traveling through

the heat exchanger upon a call for low stage heat.

12. The two stage thermostat is satisfied and opens.
13. The control turns the gas valve off.
14. After a five second delay while flue products are purged

from the heat exchanger, the induced draft blower is

turned off (the induced draft blower is on low speed

during the first five seconds post purge).

15. The air circulation blower has an adjustable delay-off

timing of 60, 90, 120, or 180 seconds (starting from the

time the gas valve closes). The speed(s) run during this

period depend on the last heat call seen by the thermo-

stat.

If the last call for heat was a call for low heat, the air
circulation blower will run on the low heat speed for the
duration of the adjusted delay-off timing (60, 90, 120, or 180
seconds).
If the last call for heat was a call for high heat, the air
circulation blower will run on the high heating speed for
thirty seconds and then switch to the low heating speed for
the 

balance

 of the adjusted delay-off timing (30, 60, 90, or

150 seconds).
Example: A GUIS090CA50 has the air circulation blower off
delay set to 120 seconds by the installer. When the thermo-
stat is satisfied after a call for high heat, the air circulation
blower will run on high speed for 30 seconds and then
switch to low circulator speed for 120 - 30 = 90 seconds.
The adjustable delay-off timing allows more heat trans-
ferred to the conditioned space from the furnace. After the
delay time has elapsed, the air circulation blower is de-
energized. The adjustable delay-off timing feature allows
the installer to customize the comfort level based on the
predominant staging requirements of the living space.

IX. Start-Up, Adjustments, and Checks

GENERAL OPERATION

This furnace is equipped with an electronic ignition device
to light the burners and an induced draft blower to exhaust
combustion products.
An interlock switch prevents furnace operation if the blower
door is not in place.  Keep the blower access doors in place
except for inspection and maintenance.

This furnace is also equipped with a self-diagnosing elec-
tronic control module. In the event a furnace component is
not operating properly, the control module LED  will  flash
on and off in a factory-programmed sequence, depending
on the problem encountered.  This light can be viewed
through the observation window in the blower access door.
Refer to the 

Diagnostic Signal Chart

 for further explanation

of the lighting codes and Section IX, 

Abnormal Operation -

Integrated Ignition Control

 for an explanation of the pos-

sible problem.
On new installations, or if a functional part such as the gas
valve, pressure switch, or limit control has been replaced,
the operation of the furnace should be checked.
Check furnace operation as outlined in the following in-
structions. If any sparking, odors, or unusual noises are
encountered, shut off electrical power and recheck for
wiring errors, or obstructions in or near the blower motors.
Various shipping materials must be removed before the
blower motor is operated.

ROLLOUT PROTECTION DEVICE

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 This furnace is equipped with a device

to close the gas valve if the burner flames are not drawn into
the heat exchanger.

Left To Right Installation

If relocation is required, proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect electrical power.

WARNING

To prevent death or personal injury due to
electric shock, disconnect electrical power.

2. See Figures 30 & 31. Remove the cover from the burner

box. Save the screws that held it in place. (

Note:

 There

are several screw holes, but only four screws. This is

intentional, and not a manufacturing defect.)

3. As shipped, the rollout protection device is located near

the flame sensor end of the manifold assembly. Re-

move and save the mounting screws.

4. For most installations, it will not be necessary to remove

the wires from the rollout protection device.
