Cooling Mode
The thermostat closes the R
−
to
−
G
−
and
−
Y circuits. The
R
−
to
−
Y circuit starts the outdoor unit, and the R
−
to
−
G and
Y circuits start the furnace blower motor BLWM on
COOL speed. The electronic air cleaner terminal EAC
−
1
AMP is energized with 115 vac when the blower motor
BLWM is operating. When the thermostat is satisfied, the
R
−
to
−
G
−
and
−
Y circuits are opened. The outdoor unit will
stop, and the furnace blower motor BLWM will continue
operating on the COOL speed for an additional 90 sec.

−
delay to 5 sec.

Continuous Blower Mode
When the R
−
to
−
G circuit is closed by the thermostat, the
blower motor BLWM will operate on continuous
−
blower
speed (same as HEAT speed). Terminal EAC
−
1 AMP is
energized as long as the blower motor BLWM is ener-
gized.
During a call for heat, the blower BLWM will stop during
igniter warm
−
up (17 sec), ignition, and blower
−
ON delay
(25 sec), allowing the furnace heat exchangers to heat up
more quickly, then restarts at the end of the blower
−
ON
delay period at HEAT speed.
When the thermostat “calls for cooling”, the blower motor
BLWM will operate at COOL speed. When the thermostat
is satisfied, the blower motor BLWM will operate an addi-
tional 90 sec, on COOL speed before reverting back to
continuous blower speed.
When the R
−
to
−
G circuit is opened, the blower motor
BLWM will continue operating for an additional 5 sec, if
no other function requires blower motor BLWM opera-
tion.

Heat Pump
When installed with a heat pump, the furnace control auto-
matically changes the timing sequence to avoid long blow-
er off times during demand defrost cycles. When the
R
−
to
−
W
−
and
−
Y or R
−
to
−
W
−
and
−
Y
−
and
−
G circuits are
energized the furnace control CPU will continue to turn on
the blower motor BLWM at HEAT speed, and begin a
heating cycle. The blower motor BLWM will remain on
until the end of the prepurge period, then shut off for 24
sec then come back on at HEAT speed. When the W input
signal disappears, the furnace control begins a normal in-
ducer post
−
purge period and the blower switches to
COOL speed after a 3 sec delay. If the R
−
to
−
W
−
and
−
Y
−
and
−
G signals disappear at the same time, the blower
motor BLWM will remain on for the selected blower
−
OFF delay period. If the R
−
to
−
W
−
and
−
Y signals disap-
pear, leaving the G signal, the blower motor BLWM will
continue running the blower motor at HEAT speed after
the selected blower
−
OFF delay period is completed.
Wiring Diagrams
Refer to Fig. 47 for wiring diagram.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the service label. (See Fig. 43.) The Troubleshooting
Guide (See Fig. 48) can be a useful tool in isolating furnace
operation problems. Beginning with the word “Start,” answer
each question and follow the appropriate arrow to the next item.
The Guide will help to identify the problem or failed component.
After replacing any component, verify correct operation
sequence.
