INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
26
A 40 V.A. transformer and an integrated electronic control are
built into the furnace to allow use with most cooling equipment.
Consult the wiring diagram, located in the Technical Manual
or on the blower door for further details of 115 Volt and 24
Volt wiring.
THERMOSTAT WIRING
The single stage furnace will have a "W" terminal and will use
a single stage thermostat. The following drawing illustrates
the typical field wiring for a heat only single stage system and
a single stage heating/single stage cooling system. Refer to
the following figures for proper connections to the integrated
control module.
CIRCULATING AIR AND FILTERS
DUCTWORK - AIR FLOW
Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed
for the C.F.M. and external static pressure rating of the fur
-
nace. Ductwork should be designed in accordance with the
recommended methods of "Air Conditioning Contractors of
America" manual D.
A duct system should be installed in accordance with Stan
-
dards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Instal
-
lation of Air Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating
Systems, Pamphlets No. 90A and 90B.
A return air filter is not supplied with the furnace. The installer
must supply a means of filtering all of the return air. Filter(s)
shall comply with UL900 or CAN/ULC-S111 Standards. If the
furnace is installed without filters, the warranty will be voided.
Upflow furnaces with air delivery of less than 1800 CFM:
Use one side return or one bottom return ductwork connection.
Upflow furnaces with air delivery of 1800 CFM or higher:
Use two side returns or one side return and one bottom return
connection.
Guide dimples locate the side and bottom return cutout lo
-
cations. Use a straight edge to scribe lines connecting the
dimples. Cut out the opening on these lines. An undersized
opening will cause reduced airflow. For bottom return con
-
nection, remove the bottom of the cabinet before setting the
furnace on the raised platform or return air duct.
A closed return duct system must be used, with the return
duct connected to the furnace.
NOTE:
Ductwork must never
be attached to the back of the furnace.
Supply and return
connections to the furnace may be made with flexible joints
to reduce noise transmission, if desired. If a central return is
used, a connecting duct must be installed between the unit
and the utility room wall so the blower will not interfere with
combustion air or draft. The room, closet, or alcove must not
be used as a return air chamber.
When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit,
the furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the
upstream side of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in
the heating element. With a parallel flow arrangement, the
dampers or other means used to control the flow of air must
be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace
and, if manually operated, must be equipped with means to
prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in the
full heat or cool position.
When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return
air entering the furnace must be between
55°F
and
100°F
.
UPRIGHT FILTER INSTALLATIONS
Depending on the installation and/or customer preference,
differing filter arrangements can be applied. Filters can be
installed in the central return register and a side panel exter
-
nal filter rack kit (upflow filter kit # EFR02). As an alternative
a media air filter or electronic air cleaner can be used as the
requested filter. Refer to the following minimum filter require
-
ment charts for determination of the minimum filter area to
ensure proper unit performance.
The following
figures
show
possible filter locations.
NOTE:
A ductwork access door must
be used in counterflow applications to allow filter removal. If
the filter rack is used, the side of the plenum must be at least
as tall as dimension "A" shown in the following illustration. For
dimension of "A" refer to the following chart.
Refer to Minimum Filter Area tables to determine filter area
requirement.
NOTE:
Filters can also be installed elsewhere
in the duct system such as a central return.
Horizontal Installations
Filter(s) must be installed external to the furnace casing for
horizontal installations. For most installations it is preferable
to use a central return with filters installed in the duct behind
the return air grill. In this way filter replacement is relatively
simple by merely removing the grille, rather than going into
the attic or crawl space.
ADDITIONAL FILTERING ACCESSORIES
External Filter Rack Kit (EFR02)
The external filter rack kit is intended to provide a location
external to the furnace casing, for installation of a permanent
filter on upflow model furnaces. The rack is designed to mount
over the indoor blower compartment area of either side panel,
and provide filter retention as well as a location for attaching
return air ductwork.
