AGATWNPME01B: Installation Instructions

Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.

INTRODUCTION

This  twinning  kit  is  used  to  twin  two  furnaces  with  variable-speed

contant-torque  ECM  blower  motors  and  controlled  by  a  mechanical

thermostat.   An  electronic  User  Interface  cannot  be  used  and  is  not

approved for twinned furnaces.
This furnace twinning kit permits two furnaces to operate together like

one larger two-stage furnace on the same duct work. The furnaces must

be  installed  with  common  supply  and  return  plenums.  For  upflow

installations, the common return plenum or platform must use some or

all  of  the  bottom  return  opening  as  shown  in  the  DUCT

CONNECTIONS section.  This kit ensures both furnace blowers operate

simultaneously  so  air  flows  through  the  duct  work  rather  than

recirculating in a loop between the furnaces.
Twinned two-stage furnaces can only operate as staged units. With the

two-stage furnaces, low-heat in both furnaces is used for first-stage heat,

and high-heat in both furnaces is used for second-stage heat. Two-stage

furnaces  can  be  configured  to  use  a  field  supplied  single-stage

thermostat  and  the  furnace  control  staging  algorithm  or  can  be

configured to  use  a  field  supplied  two-stage  thermostat  to  control  the

staging.  Refer  to  the  CONNECT  ELECTRICAL  COMPONENTS

section for two-stage thermostat details.
Cooling  units  used  with  twinned  furnaces  must  be  single-stage A/C

unit(s). Heat pumps cannot be twinned with gas furnaces.
When installing twinned outdoor units with twinned gas furnaces, it is

necessary  to  use  a  field-supplied  24-VAC  pilot-duty  relay  and  a

field-supplied 24-VAC/115-VAC transformer as shown in the individual

wiring  diagrams  to  prevent  overloading  furnace  24-VAC/115-VAC

transformer.

WARNING

!

ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD

Failure  to  follow  this  warning  could  result  in  personal  injury,  death,

and/or property damage.

Turn off the gas and electrical supplies to the furnace and install lockout

tag  before  performing  any  installation  or  modification.  Follow  the

operating instructions on the label attached to the furnace.

CAUTION

!

CUT HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. Use care and wear

appropriate  protective  clothing,  safety  glasses  and  gloves  when

handling parts, and servicing furnaces. 

WARNING

!

UNIT AND PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in unit and property damage.

Do not use this Twinning Kit with any models not listed or with earlier

series of the models shown in 

Table 1

.  Incorrect blower operation or

auxiliary limit operation may result.

Refer to the unit rating plate to determine the Series designation of the

furnace.
