Supply and Return Duct(s)

Provide duct(s) sized sufficiently to handle the larger of the 

air volumes for heating or cooling provided by this model.

Connect the supply duct to the top of the unit using canvas 

connections or other flexible connections to prevent noise 

transmission into the duct system.

To connect the return duct to the system, use a straight 

piece of duct 22” wide by 6” deep. Insert the duct into the 

return  opening  in  the  bottom  of  the  unit  and  flange  the 

duct over the existing flanges around the opening inside 

the unit. Make sure that all sides of the duct are flanged 

over to permit removal of the cooling chassis if required. 

Use a flexible connection to attach the remainder of the 

return duct. The return duct should be sealed to the unit 

casing and must terminate outside the space containing 

the furnace.

Adjustments – Heating Section

Temperature Rise

At time of installation, the temperature rise must be 

adjusted to be within the range specified on the unit rating 

plate. See Table 2. Select a lower blower speed to increase 

rise. Select a higher blower speed to reduce rise.

Pressure Regulator

The gas input must not exceed the figures shown on the 

rating plate. The unit is equipped for rated inputs with 

manifold pressures of: 3.5” W.C. for natural gas and 10.5” 

W.C. for propane.

The manifold pressure can be measured by removing the 

pipe plug in the automatic gas valve. Connect a water 

manometer and measure the pressure. See Figure 9.

Only small variations in gas input may be made by adjusting 

the regulator. 

In  no  case  should  the  final  manifold 

pressure vary more than 0.3” W.C. for natural gas or 

0.7” W.C. for propane.

To adjust the regulator, turn the adjusting screw on the 

regulator  clockwise  to  increase  pressure  and  input  or 

counterclockwise  to  decrease  pressure  and  input.  See 

Figure 9.

For  natural  gas  installations,  check  the  burner  rate  by 

observing  the gas meter (making sure that all other gas 

appliances are turned off). The test hand on the meter 

should be timed for at least one revolution. Note the 

number of seconds for one revolution.

Adjustments – Cooling Section (HWC models)

No adjustments are required or should be attempted 

regarding any of the components of the cooling chassis. 

The  chassis  should  be  checked  to  see  that  none  of  the 

wiring is loose or missing.

Cooling chassis is charged with R410A refrigerant.

Blower

The unit contains a direct-drive, multispeed blower. The 

proper speeds have been preset at the factory for heating 

and cooling. Refer to the wiring diagram or Table 2 for 

recommended heating/cooling speeds for specific models. 

Direct-drive blower motors are permanently lubricated and 

do not require oiling.

Limit Control

A fixed temperature limit control is provided which will shut 

off the gas to the main burners if the unit is overheated for 

any reason. The control must not be adjusted or relocated.

High Altitude Adjustments (U.S. Installations)

Ratings shown on the rating plate are for elevations up to 

2000 feet. For elevations above 2000 feet, ratings should 

be reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1000’ above sea level. 

Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 (latest edition) 

for further explanation.

Installation and Operation in Extremely Cold 

Weather Areas

In areas where extremely cold (below – 20°F) outdoor 

temperatures can be expected, some additional installation 

and operating precautions should be taken. The following 

precautions  are  taken  to  prevent  possible  vent  system 

ice  blockage  that  could  result  in  safety  shutdown  of  the 

burners:

1.  Adjust to the highest achievable temperature rise 

within  the  rise  and  static  pressure  ranges  specified 

on  the  rating  plate.  Depending  on  specific  model,  it 

may be possible to change to a lower heating blower 

speed tap to get a higher temperature rise. This also 

increases comfort.

2. 

Make sure there are no leaks of outside air into the 

return air system.

3.  Keep the outside louver grille as free as possible of 

any ice that may form and obstruct the flue outlet.
