Furnace shutdown

In case of furnace malfunction, use the following steps to shut the unit down:

1. 

Set the thermostat to OFF or it's lowest temperature setting.

2. 

Turn off the electrical power supply to the furnace.

3. 

Remove the burner access panel.

4. 

Close manual gas shutoff valve external to the furnace.

5. 

Push the gas valve switch to the OFF position.

6. 

Replace burner access panel.

11.4  Sequence of Operation

   Furnace control must be grounded for proper operation or control will 

lock out. Control is grounded through green wire routed to gas valve and 
manifold bracket screw. Follow the sequence of operation through the 
heating, cooling, and fan only modes.
Read and follow the wiring diagram (Fig. 36) very carefully. 
The blower access panel must be installed for power to be conducted 
through all electrical components. 

1. Heating mode

In a typical system, a call for 

fi

 rst stage heat is initiated by closing the W1 

thermostat contacts. The inducer blower is energized at high speed and the control 
waits for the low pressure switch contacts to close. The humidi

fi

 er (optional) is also 

energized at this time. Once the low pressure switch contacts close, a 15-second 
pre-purge is initiated. Then the inducer changes to low speed and the 120V ignitor 
is powered. At the end of the ignitor warm-up time, the 

fi

 rst stage of the two-

stage manifold gas valve is energized (low 

fi

 re). Flame must be detected within 4 

seconds. If 

fl

 ame is detected, the 45-second HEAT delay-to-fan-on period begins. 

After the delay-to-fan-on period ends, the control will energize the circulator fan 
at low heat speed. The electronic air cleaner (optional) will also energize at this 
time. For a two-stage thermostat, a call for second stage heat (W1 and W2) after 
a call for 

fi

 rst stage heat will energize the inducer at high speed and the circulator 

at high heat speed. The second stage pressure switch contacts will close and 
energize the second stage gas valve (high 

fi

 re). For a single-stage thermostat, when 

a call for heat occurs (W1), a 10, 20 minute or auto mode heat staging timer will 
be activated (timing is selectable with option switches S1-1 and S1-2 positions). 
Following this delay, the second stage heat is energized as above.

When the second stage of the thermostat is satis

fi

 ed, the inducer motor is reduced 

to low speed and the second stage gas valve is de-energized. On the control, the 
circulator will remain at high heat speed for 30 seconds following the opening of 
the second stage gas valve and then is reduced to low heat speed. When the 

fi

 rst 

stage of the thermostat is satis

fi

 ed, the 

fi

 rst stage gas valve is de-energized and the 

HEAT delay-to-fan-off begins timing. The inducer will postpurge for an additional 
15 seconds, then the inducer and humidi

fi

 er will turn off. Upon completion of the 

HEAT delay-to-fan-off period, the circulator is turned off. The electronic air cleaner 
on the control is also de-energized at this time. 

If 

fl

 ame is not detected during the trial-for-ignition period or if the 

fl

 ame is 

detected/sensed and then lost before completion of 10 seconds of establishment, 
the gas valve is de-energized, the ignitor is turned off, and the control goes into the 
“retry” sequence. The “retry” sequence provides a 60-second wait with the inducer 
interpurge following an unsuccessful ignition attempt (

fl

 ame not detected). After 

this wait, the ignition attempt is restarted. Two retries will be attempted before the 
control goes into system lockout. If 

fl

 ame is established for more than 10 seconds 

after ignition, the controller will clear the ignition attempt (or retry) counter. If 

fl

 ame is lost after 10 seconds, the control will restart the ignition sequence. 

A momentary loss of gas supply, 

fl

 ame blowout, or a shorted or open condition 

in the 

fl

 ame probe circuit will be sensed within 2 seconds. The gas valve will de-

energize and the control will restart the ignition sequence. Recycles will begin and 
the burner will operate normally if the gas supply returns, or the fault condition 
is corrected, before the last ignition attempt. Otherwise, the control will go into 
system lockout. If the control has gone into system lockout, it may be possible to 
reset the control by a momentary power interruption of 10 seconds or longer.
