Blower Heat Off Delay Timings

The integrated control module provides a selectable heat-off 
delay function. The heat off delay period may be set to 90, 120, 
150 or 180 seconds using the DIP switches or jumper provided 
on the control module. The delay is factory-shipped at 
150 seconds, but may be changed to suit the installation 
requirements and/or homeowner preference. Refer to the 
following chart for DIP switch positions and corresponding delay 
times.

NORMAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

Power Up

The normal power up sequence is as follows:

115 VAC power applied to furnace.

Integrated control module performs internal checks.

Integrated control module displays “88” on the dual 
7-segment LED display.

Integrated control module monitors safety circuits 
continuously.

Furnace awaits call from thermostat. Displays “OP” on the 
dual 7-segment LED display.

Heating Mode

The normal operational sequence in heating mode is as follows:

R and W1 (or R and W1/W2) thermostat contacts close, 
initiating a call for heat.

Integrated control module performs safety circuit checks. 

Induced draft blower is energized on high speed for a 
15-second prepurge. Humidifier terminal is energized with 
induced draft blower.

Induced draft blower steps to low speed following prepurge. 
Low-stage pressure switch contacts are closed.

Igniter warm-up begins upon step to low speed and presence 
of closed low-stage pressure switch contacts.

Gas control valve opens at the end of the igniter warm-up 
period, delivering gas to the burners and establishing a flame.

Integrated control module monitors flame presence. Gas 
control valve will remain open only if flame is detected.

If the thermostat call is for low heat, the gas control valve and 
induced draft blower will continue on low stage. If the call is 
for high heat, the gas control valve and induced draft blower 
will change to high stage.

Circulator blower is energized on heat speed following a fixed 
30-second blower-on delay. The circulator blower requires 
30 seconds to ramp up to full speed. Electronic air cleaner 
terminal is energized with circulator blower.

Furnace is now operating on the specified stage called for by 
the 2-stage thermostat.

Furnace runs, integrated control module monitors safety 
circuits continuously.

If the 2-stage thermostat changes the call from low heat to 
high heat, the integrated control module will immediately 
switch the induced draft blower, gas control valve and 
circulator blower to their high-stage settings.

If the 2-stage thermostat changes the call from high heat to 
low heat, the integrated control module will immediately 
switch the induced draft blower and gas control valve to their 
low-stage settings. The circulator blower will remain on 
high-heating speed for 30 seconds before switching to the 
low-heat circulating speed.

R and W1 (or R and W1/W2) thermostat contacts open, 
completing the call for heat.

Gas control valve closes, extinguishing flame.

Induced draft blower is de-energized following a 15-second 
post purge. Humidifier terminal is de-energized.

Circulator blower continues running for the selected heat-off 
delay period (90, 120, 150 or 180 seconds). The speed run 
during this period depends on the last heat call provided by 
the thermostat. If the last call for heat was a call for low heat, 
the air circulator motor will run on low heat speed for the 
duration of the heat-off delay period (90, 120, 150 or 
180 seconds). If the last call for heat was a call for high heat, 
the air circulating motor will run on the high heating speed for 
30 seconds and then switch to the low-heating speed for the 
balance of the heat-off delay period (60, 90, 120 or 
150 seconds).

Circulator blower and electronic air cleaner terminals are de-
energized.

Circulator blower ramps down to Off during the 30 seconds 
following the heat-off delay period.

Furnace awaits next call from thermostat.

Cooling Mode

The normal operational sequence in cooling mode is as follows:

R and Y1/G or Y2/G thermostat contacts close, initiating a 
call for cool.

Integrated control module performs safety circuit checks.

Outdoor fan and compressor are energized to their 
appropriate speeds.

Circulator blower is energized on the appropriate cool speed 
at the level and time determined by the selected ramping 
profile. Electronic air cleaner terminals are energized with 
circulator blower.

Furnace circulator blower and outdoor cooling unit run their 
appropriate speed; Integrated control module monitors safety 
circuits continuously. 

R and Y1/G or Y2/G thermostat contacts open, completing 
the call for cool.

Outdoor fan and compressor are de-energized.
