Charge (ESD) Precautions
NOTE:
Discharge your body’s static electricity before touching
unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical
components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the integrated control module from
damage. By putting the furnace, the control, and the person
at the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help
avoid exposing the integrated control module to electrostatic
discharge. This procedure is applicable to both installed and
uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to the
control prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic
charge to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace near the control. Any tools held in a person’s
hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in Step 2. Use caution
not to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do
not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded
objects, etc.). If you come in contact with an ungrounded
object, repeat Step 2 before touching control or wires.
4. Discharge any static electricity from your body to ground
before removing a new control from its container. Follow
Steps 1 through 3 if installing the control on a furnace.
Return any old or new controls to their containers before
touching any ungrounded object.

To ensure proper furnace operation, install, operate, maintain
and service the furnace in accordance with the installation,
operation and service instructions, all local building codes
and ordinances. In their absence, follow the latest edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1), and/or
CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes, local plumbing or waste
water codes, and other applicable codes.
EMI Filter (Electromagnetic Interference Filter)
All *MVS96*U furnaces must have an EMI Filter installed.
Early production furnaces will require the EMI filter to be
field installed at the time of furnace installation as furnaces
are shipped without this component. The kit (EMIULN-1) is
available from your furnace distributor at no cost.
The purpose of the EMI Filter is to reduce electromagnetic
interference between the furnace and other electrical devices.
