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 dual 7-segment display LED’s.

•Integrated control module monitors safety circuits continuously.

•Furnace awaits call from thermostat. Dual 7-segment LED’s display 0 P while awaiting call from thermostat.

HEATING MODE

The normal operational sequence in heating mode is as fol- lows:

•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.
