Fault Code Retrieval

The ignition control is equipped with a push button (SW1) that 

can be used to display on the diagnostic LED the last five 

faults detected by the control. The control must be in Standby 

Mode (no thermostat inputs) to use the feature. Depress the 

push button once for less than 5 seconds. Release the push 

button. The diagnostic LED will then display the flash codes 

associated with the last five detected faults. The order of 

display is the most recent fault to the least fault. See trouble 

shooting guide for fault description.

Clear Fault Memory

Function:

  When the SW1 button is pressed and held for 

an  extended  period  (more  than  5  seconds,  less  than  10 

seconds), the control erases the stored fault code history.

Operation: 

 The control must be powered and the thermostat 

satisfied (no call for heat or cool).  Depress and hold the SW1 

button for at least 5 seconds (but not more than 10 seconds), 

until the LED flashes a rapid green, then release.  The fault 

code history will be erased.

LED Display Indication:

  Rapid Green Flash

Resetting From Lockout

WARNING

TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK, 

TURN 

OFF 

POWER TO THE FURNACE BEFORE CHANGING 

SPEED TAPS.

Furnace lockout results when a furnace is unable to achieve 

ignition after three attempts during a single call for heat.  It is 

characterized by a non-functioning furnace and  a  fault  code 

displayed.  If the furnace is in “lockout”, it will (or can be) reset 

in any of the following ways.

1.  Automatic reset.  The integrated control module will 

automatically reset itself and attempt to resume normal 

operations following a one hour lockout period.

2.  Manual power interruption.  Interrupt 115 volt power to the 

furnace.

3.  Manual thermostat cycle.  Lower the  thermostat so that 

there is no longer a call for heat for 1 -20 seconds then 

reset to previous setting.

NOTE:

  If the condition which originally caused the lockout 

still exists, the control will return to lockout.  Refer to the 

Troubleshooting Chart

 for aid in determining the cause.

Field Test Mode

Function: When the SW1 button is pressed and held until 

the LED is blinking in AMBER (more than 10 seconds, less 

than 15 seconds), the control will execute a field test mode 

sequence to cycle through component operation. 
Operation: The control must be powered and the thermostat 

satisfied (no call for heat or cool). Depress and hold the SW1 

button for at least 10 seconds (but not more than 15 seconds), 

until the LED is blinking in AMBER, then release. The control 

will execute the following functions: 

1. Blower - “Heat” Speed 15 seconds

2. Blower - “Cool” Speed 15 seconds

3. Blower - “Fan” Speed 15 seconds 

4. Hot Surface Igniter 17 seconds 

5. Inducer - “Run” setting 15 seconds 

6. Inducer - 1” w.c. 60 seconds 

7. Return to OFF mode 

Once the Field Test Mode is initiated, all thermostat inputs 

will be ignored until the field test sequence is completed. If 

the SW1 button is held for more than 15 seconds, the button 

press will be ignored and the LED display will return to its 

prior state.

WARNING

Annual Inspection

The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer, or service 

agency at least once per year. This check should be performed 

at the beginning of the heating season. This will ensure that all 

furnace components are in proper working order and that the 

heating system functions appropriately. Pay particular attention 

to the following items.  Repair or service as necessary.

• 

Flue pipe system:  Check for blockage and/or leakage.  

Check the outside termination and the connections at 

and internal to the furnace.

• 

Heat exchanger.  Check for corrosion and/or buildup 

within the heat exchanger passageways.

• 

Burners.  Check for proper ignition, burner flame, 

and flame sense.

• 

Drainage  system.    Check  for  blockage  and/or 

leakage.  Check hose connections at and internal 

to furnace.

• 

Wiring.  Check electrical connections for tightness 

and/or corrosion.  Check wires for damage.

• 

Filters.

Filters
Filter Maintenance

Improper filter maintenance is the most common cause of 

inadequate heating or cooling performance.  Filters should 

be cleaned (permanent) or replaced (disposable) every two
