LAME
The burner flames should be inspected with the burner compart-
ment door installed. A sight glass is provided for inspection pur-
poses. Flames should stable, quiet, soft, and blue (dust may cause
orange tips but they must not be yellow). Flames should extend
directly outward from the burners without curling, floating, or lifting
off. Flames must not impinge on the sides of the heat exchanger
firing tubes.
Check the burner flames for:
1. Good adjustment
2. Stable, soft and blue
3. Not curling, floating, or lifting off.

XVII. SAFETY CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
G
ENERAL
A number of safety circuits are employed to ensure safe and proper
furnace operation. These circuits serve to control any potential safety
hazards and serve as inputs in the monitoring and diagnosis of ab-
normal function. These circuits are continuously monitored during
furnace operation by the integrated control module.

ODULE
The integrated control module is an electronic device which, if a
potential safety concern is detected, will take the necessary precau-
tions and provide diagnostic information through an LED.

The primary limit control is located on the partition panel and moni-
tors heat exchanger compartment temperatures. It is a normally-
closed (electrically), automatic reset, temperature-activated sensor.
The limit guards against the overheating as a result of insufficient
conditioned air passing over the heat exchanger.

The auxiliary limit controls are located on or near the circulator
blower and monitors blower compartment temperatures. They are
a normally-closed (electrically), manual-reset sensors. These limits
guard against overheating as a result of insufficient conditioned air
passing over the heat exchanger.

IMIT
The rollout limit controls are mounted on the burner/manifold as-
sembly and monitor the burner flame. They are normally-closed
(electrically), manual-reset sensors. These limits guard against
burner flames not being properly drawn into the heat exchanger.

The pressure switches are normally-open (closed during operation)
negative air pressure-activated switches. They monitor the airflow
(combustion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger via
pressure taps located on the induced draft blower and the coil front
cover. These switches guard against insufficient airflow (combus-
tion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger and/or blocked
condensate drain conditions.

The flame sensor is a probe mounted to the burner/manifold as-
sembly which uses the principle of flame rectification to determine
the presence or absence of flame.

RECAUTIONS
NOTE:
Discharge body’s static electricity before touching unit. An
electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and ser-
vicing to protect the integrated control module from damage. By
putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same electro-
static potential, these steps will help avoid exposing the integrated
control module to electrostatic discharge. This procedure is appli-
cable to both installed and uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to the control
prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic charge to
ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnaces
near the control. Any tools held in a person’s hand during
grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution not to
