Checking Gas Heat Input
Two Stage Gas Heat
About this task:
This unit has two stages of gas heat. First stage
input is considered the minimum input for the
furnace. The intended input for each furnace is
shown in "Gas Heat Stages" table. The table applies
to units operating on 60 Hz power only.
To determine the rate of gas flow (Second Stage).
1. Turn off all other gas appliances connected to
the gas meter.
2. Turn on the furnace and make sure the
thermostat is calling for Second stage (100%
input) heat.
3. Measure the time needed for one revolution
of the hand on the lowest increment dial on
the meter. A typical gas meter has a 1/2 or a 1
cubic foot test dial.
4. Using the number of seconds it takes for one
revolution of the dial, calculate the cubic feet
of gas consumed per hour. (See example
below)
5. If necessary, adjust the high pressure
regulator as discussed in the section
"Manifold Gas Pressure Adjustment".
Be
sure not to over-fire the furnace on second
stage.
If in doubt, it is better to leave the
second stage of the furnace slightly under-
fired. Repeat Steps 1-5.
To determine the rate of gas flow (First Stage)
1. Turn off all other gas appliances connected to
the gas meter.
2. Turn on the furnace and make sure the
thermostat is calling for first stage heat.
3. Even when the thermostat is calling for first
stage heat, the unit will light on second stage
and will run on second stage for 1 minute.
Allow this one-minute time period to expire
and be certain the unit is running on first
stage.
4. Measure the time needed for one revolution
of the hand on the lowest increment dial on
the meter. A typical gas meter has a 1/2 or a 1
cubic foot test dial.
5. Using the number of seconds it takes for
one revolution of the dial, calculate the cubic
feet of gas consumed per hour (See example
below).
6. If necessary, adjust the low pressure regulator
as discussed in the section "Manifold Gas
Pressure Adjustment".
Be sure not to under-
fire the furnace on first stage.
If in doubt, it
is better to leave the first stage of the furnace
slightly over-fired. Refer to the table "Gas Rate
Cubic Feet Per Hour" for input value. Repeat
Steps 1-6.

Note:
To find the Btu input, multiply the
number of cubic feet of gas consumed
per hour by the Btu content of the gas in
your particular locality (contact your gas
company for this information as it varies
widely from area to area).
EXAMPLE
By actual measurement, it takes 19
seconds for the hand on a 1 cubic foot dial
to make a revolution with a 200,000 Btuh
furnace running. To determine rotations
