Ensure unit is installed per manufacturer’s instructions and
that line voltage and air flow are correct. Refer to Table 3 for
proper performance value. When checking performance
of a unit that uses an expansion valve for metering refer
to the subcooling value to judge system performance. If
the measured performance value varies from table value
allowance, check internal seals, service panels and duct
work for air leaks, as well as restrictions and blower
speed settings. If unit performance remains questionable,
remove system charge, evacuate to 500 microns, and
weigh in refrigerant to nameplate charge. It is critical that
the exact charge is re-installed. Failure to comply will
compromise system performance. If unit performance is
still questionable, check for refrigerant related problems
such as, blocked coil or circuits, malfunctioning metering
device or other system components.

Heating System
With the proper thermostat and sub-base, continuous
blower operation is possible by closing the R to G circuit.
Heating Sequence of Operation
When the thermostat calls for heating, W1 is energized.
NOTE:
The ignition control ignores a call for second-stage
heat until first-stage heat has been established.
The ignition control checks high temperature limit and roll
out switches to make sure they are closed. The control then
verifies that the pressure switch is open. If the pressure
switch is closed, the control will flash code 3 on the LED
and will wait indefinitely for the pressure switch to open.
If the pressure switch is open, the control proceeds to the
15-second pre-purge.
The ignition control energizes the combustion air inducer
on high speed, flashes a code 3 on the LED, and waits for
the pressure switch to close.
When the pressure switch has closed, the LED code
3 flash stops and the control begins the 15-second pre-
purge period. When the pre-purge time has expired, the
control begins the ignition trial.
The ignition control energizes the gas valve and spark.
The control ignores the flame sense signal for the first
two seconds of the ignition trial. If the flame is established
within 10 seconds, the control de-energizes the spark. If
flame is not established within 10 seconds, the gas valve
and spark are de-energized and the ignition control initiates
a 30-second inter-purge sequence.
Approximately 30 seconds after the flame has been
established, the circulating air blower starts and the
combustion air inducer is switched to low speed. The
ignition control inputs are continuously monitored to ensure
that limit switch(es), roll out switch and pressure switch
are all closed, and that the flame remains established
and heating demand is present. First-stage gas valve,
low-speed combustion air inducer and circulating blower
remain energized. If the thermostat signals a requirement
for second-stage heat W2, the ignition control initiates high
heat operation. When a signal for second stage heat is
received by the ignition control, the control energizes the
second-stage gas valve and high-speed combustion air
inducer until the demand is satisfied.
If a first-stage heat demand continues after the second-
stage heat demand has been satisfied, the ignition control
immediately de-energizes the second-stage gas valve.
The combustion air inducer is held in high speed operation
for an additional 1 second after the second-stage gas valve
is de-energized. First-stage heat operation (first-stage gas
valve and low-speed combustion air inducer) continues
until heating demand is satisfied.
When the heating demand is satisfied, the control
immediately de-energizes the gas valve. The combustion
air inducer remains energized for a 30-second post-purge
period. The circulating air blower operates for 90 seconds
after the gas valve is deenergized.
Blower Delay - Heating
In the heating mode, the circulating air blower operation is
delayed for 30 seconds after the flame is established. The
blower continues to operate
Safety Controls
The control circuit includes the following safety controls.
These controls must be closed for the gas valve to open.
Limit Control
This control is located behind the heat exchanger access
panel and is designed to open at abnormally high circulating
air temperatures. It resets automatically. The limit control
operates when a high temperature condition, caused by
inadequate airflow, occurs.
Pressure Switch
If the combustion air blower should fail, the pressure
switch prevents the spark electrode and gas valve from
being energized.
