Supplement to ATH15-500.10

)

is needed, reset the “Manual Relay” and “Manual Position” 

to “Yes” to restart.

19.  Furnace Digit 11=A or D Only (quad furnaces)

:  For units 

with four furnace sections, furnace 1 is modulating.  This 

furnace is controlled as described in 13 and 14 above.  

Furnaces 2, 3 and 4 are single stage furnaces controlled 

by “Relay Outputs” labeled “Furnace 2” through “Furnace 

4”.  Select the desired furnace and set both the “Manual 

Relay” and “Manual Position” to “Yes” to fire each furnace 

section.  To turn off a furnace, set “Manual Relay” to “No”.  

As with the other furnaces described above, the furnaces 

will operate for 5 minutes at a time in this condition before 

the control resets “Manual Relay” to “No” and turns off the 

furnace.  If a longer run time is needed, reset the “Manual 

Relay” and “Manual Position” to “Yes” to restart.

20.  After testing is completed, press "Esc" multiple times until 

the control is back to the main SA (Supply Air) temp screen.  

Use the arrow buttons to navigate to the “Unit Status  M99” 

screen.  Press "Enter" and set “Reset Unit To Auto Mode:” 

to “Yes.”  This will clear any changes made in the Carel 

program for manual operation and will return the unit to 

normal operation.

Check/Adjust Pressure Upstream of Unit

With the field installed manual gas shut-off valve in the “OFF” 

position, recheck the gas supply pressure at the field installed 

manual shut-off valve. The inlet pressure should be 6"-7" W.C. 

on natural gas (11”-14” W.C. on propane (LP) gas), while all 

burners are operating, but never more than 14" W.C when the 

burners are off. If inlet pressure is too high, install an additional 

pressure regulator upstream of the combination gas control.

Modulated Furnace/Manifold Section

Gas pressure must be checked and adjusted as necessary, at 

both the combination gas valve (A) and at the manifold (B) to 

ensure appropriate gas pressures.

A.  Check/Adjust Pressure at Combination Gas Valve

The following steps are required to check/adjust the manifold 

pressure on the combination gas valve:
1. 

Open the field installed manual gas shut-off valve and set 

the combination gas control valve to the “ON” position. Note 

for C- and D-Cabinet sized units and units equipped with 

split manifolds, the Gas Heating Option consists of one or 

more heating sections that are not modulated. For this step, 

only one combination gas valve on the modulated furnace 

or manifold section is to be set to the “ON” position.

2.  Enable the unit controls. The LED display on the furnace 

control board (Figure 5.1) will briefly display the heat 

exchanger size being modulated. Refer to Table 5.1.Verify 

that the model readout is correct for the unit being started.

3.  Ensure that the supply fan blower is operating at the proper 

airflow and adjust the Carel controller as described in "Carel 

Controller Settings" to create a call for heat.

4.  Check the ignition control and gas valve for electrical operation.
5.  Check to make sure that the main gas valve opens while 

the supply fan blower is operating.

6.  Check the gas pressure at the INLET to the combination 

gas control valve (refer to figures on pages 10 through 15) 

Figure 5.1 - Primary Furnace Control Board

and adjust as needed to maintain 6"-7" W.C for Natural Gas 

(11-14" W.C. for Propane) while the burners are operating 

at high fire. This pressure is required for proper ignition and 

to attain the rated input of the unit.   If this pressure cannot 

be obtained, the gas supply is undersized and needs to be 

corrected or the gas supplier must be contacted.

7.  Check gas pressure on the OUTLET of the combination  

gas control valve (refer to figures on pages 10 through 15) 

when the burners are functioning. This should be set to 4.0-

4.5" W.C. for Natural Gas (10.5-11" W.C. for Propane) for 

the modulated furnace or manifold section (see gas valve 

instruction sheet for location.)
