PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

FEATURES

This furnace is a part of the ComfortNet™ family of products. The CTK01 ComfortNet thermostat kit allows this furnace to be installed as part of a digitally communicating system. The ComfortNet system provides automatic airflow configuration, enhanced setup features, and enhanced diagnostics. It also reduces the number of thermostat wires to a maximum of four. It may be also installed as part of a “legacy” system using a standard 24 VAC thermostat.

This product may also be installed with the ComfortNet ther- mostat and a non-ComfortNet compatible single stage air con- ditioning unit. However, this reduces the benefits of the ComfortNet system as the enhancements will only apply to the furnace.
