24--V Wiring
Make field 24--v connections at the 24--v terminal strip. (See Fig.
25 -- 34.) Connect terminal Y/Y2 as shown in Fig. 27--34 for
proper cooling operation. Use only AWG No. 18, color--coded,
copper thermostat wire.
The 24--v circuit contains an automotive--type, 3--amp. fuse
located on the control. Any direct shorts during installation,
service, or maintenance could cause this fuse to blow. If fuse
replacement is required, use ONLY a 3--amp. fuse of identical
size.
ACCESSORIES
1. Electronic Air Cleaner (EAC)
Connect an accessory Electronic Air Cleaner (if used) us-
ing 1/4--in female quick connect terminals to the two male
1/4--in quick--connect terminals on the control board
marked EAC--1 and EAC--2. The terminals are rated for
115VAC, 1.0 amps maximum and are energized during
blower motor operation. (See Fig. 26.)
2. Humidifier (HUM)
Connect an accessory 24 VAC, 0.5 amp. maximum hu-
midifier (if used) to the 1/4--in male quick--connect HUM
terminal and COM--24V screw terminal on the control
board thermostat strip. The HUM terminal is energized
when blower is energized in heating. (See Fig. 26.)
NOTE
: DO NOT connect furnace control HUM terminal to
HUM (humidifier) terminal on Thermidistat, Zone Controller or
similar device. See Thermidistat
E
, Zone Controller, thermostat,
or controller manufacturer’s instructions for proper connection.
VENTING
The furnace shall be connected to a listed factory built chimney
or vent, or a clay--tile lined masonry or concrete chimney. Venting
into an unlined masonry chimney or concrete chimney is
prohibited.
When an existing Category I furnace is removed or replaced, the
original venting system, may no longer be sized to properly vent
the attached appliances. An improperly sized Category I venting
system could cause the formation of condensate in the furnace
and vent, leakage of condensate and combustion products, and
spillage of combustion products into the living space.
