appropriate target rate. If the furnace is operating in the
initial heating cycle after power-up, the initial firing rate
will be approximately 35 percent. The firing rate on
subsequent cycles will be automatically adjusted by
the integrated control based on thermostat cycles. The
firing rate will vary and will range from 40 percent to 90
percent. The furnace will continue this operation as
long as the thermostat has a first-stage heating de
mand.
5 - If second-stage heat is required, the thermostat sec
ond-stage heat contacts close and send a signal to the
integrated control. The integrated control either in
creases the firing rate to 70 percent (if the current rate
is at or below 60 percent) or increases the firing rate by
10 percent (if the current rate is above 60 percent). If
the call for heat continues 5 minutes beyond this
initial upstage, the rate will be increased by 10 percent
every 5 minutes until the call for heat is satisfied or the
furnace reaches 100 percent rate. As the firing rate in
creases, the indoor blower motor is adjusted to a speed
which is appropriate for the target rate.
6 - If second-stage heat demand is satisfied, but first stage
is still present, the furnace will continue to operate at
the present firing rate until the heat cycle ends.
7 - When the demand for first- and second-stage heat is
satisfied, the gas valve is de-energized and the field-
selected indoor blower off delay begins. The combus
tion air inducer begins a 20-second post-purge period.
8 - When the combustion air post-purge period is com
plete, the inducer is de-energized. The indoor blower
is de-energized at the end of the off delay.

1. On a call for heat, thermostat first-stage contacts close
sending a signal to the integrated control. The inte
grated control runs a self‐diagnostic program and
checks high temperature limit switches for normally
closed contacts and pressure switches for normally
open contacts. The combustion air inducer is ener
gized at the ignition speed, which is approximately the
same as the inducer speed at 70 percent firing rate.
2. Once the control receives a signal that the low-fire
pressure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer
begins a 15-second pre-purge at the ignition speed.
3. After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial ig
nitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air in
ducer continues to operate at the ignition speed.
4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the gas
valve is energized and ignition occurs, which initiates a
10-second ignition stabilization delay. At the same time,
the control module sends a signal to begin an indoor
blower 45-second ON-delay. When the delay ends, the
indoor blower motor is energized at a speed which is
appropriate for the firing rate. After the 10-second igni
tion stabilization delay expires, the inducer speed is
adjusted to 40 percent speed. The integrated control
also initiates a second-stage on delay (factory-set at 7
minutes; adjustable to 12 minutes).
5 - If the heating demand continues beyond the second-
stage on delay, the integrated control energizes the
combustion air inducer at 70 percent speed. The in
door blower motor is adjusted to a speed which
matches the target rate. A fixed, 10-minute third-stage
on delay is initiated.
6 - If the heating demand continues beyond the third-
stage on delay, the integrated control energizes the in
ducer at high speed. The indoor blower motor is ad
justed to a speed which is appropriate for the target
rate.
7 -When the thermostat heating demand is satisfied, the
gas valve is de-energized and the combustion air in
ducer begins a 20-second post-purge. The field-se
lected indoor blower off delay begins.
8 - When the combustion air post-purge period is com
plete, the inducer is de-energized. The indoor blower
is de-energized at the end of the off delay.

1. On a call for heat, thermostat first-stage contacts close
sending a signal to the integrated control. The inte
grated control runs a self‐diagnostic program and
checks high temperature limit switches for normally
closed contacts and pressure switches for normally
open contacts. The combustion air inducer is ener
gized at ignition speed, which is approximately the
same as the inducer speed at 70 percent firing rate.
2. Once the control receives a signal that the low-fire
pressure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer
begins a 15-second pre-purge at the ignition speed.
3. After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial ig
nitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air in

4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the gas
valve is energized and ignition occurs. At the same time,
the control module sends a signal to begin an indoor
blower 45-second ON-delay. When the delay ends, the
indoor blower motor is energized at a speed that
matches the firing rate. After the 10-second ignition
stabilization delay expires, the inducer speed is ad
justed to the appropriate target rate. The inducer will
remain at the 70 percent speed as long as the thermo
stat has a first-stage heating demand.
5 - If second-stage heat is required, the thermostat sec
ond-stage heat contacts close and send a signal to the
integrated control. The integrated control initiates a
30-second second-stage recognition delay.
6 - At the end of the recognition delay and on all subse
quent calls for heat in the same heating cycle, the inte
grated control energizes the combustion air inducer at
high speed. The control also checks the high-fire pres
sure switch to make sure it is closed. As the inducer
speed is increased to high, the indoor blower motor is
adjusted to a speed which is appropriate for the target
rate.
7 - When the demand for high-fire (second stage) heat is
satisfied, the gas valve is de-energized and the field-
selected indoor blower off delay begins. The combus
tion air inducer begins a 20-second post-purge period.
8 - When the combustion air post-purge period is com
plete, the inducer is de-energized. The indoor blower
is de-energized at the end of the off delay.
