Twinning Operation

Heating - On a call for heat (W signal) from the wall thermostat, both furnaces will start the ignition sequence and the burners on both fur- naces will light. About thirty seconds after the burners light, the blowers on both furnaces will come on in heating speed. When the thermostat is satisfied, the burners will all shut off and, after the selected blower off delay time, both blowers will shut off at the same time. The twinning control ensures that both blowers come on and shut off at the same time.

Cooling - On a call for cooling (Y signal) from the wall thermostat, both furnace blowers will come on at the same time in cooling speed. When the thermostat is satisfied, both blowers will stay on for 60 seconds, then will shut off at the same time.

Continuous Fan - On a thermostat call for continuous fan (G signal), both furnace blowers will come on at the same time in cooling speed and will stay on until the G signal is removed.

Staging Operation

Heating - On a call for first-stage heat (W1 signal) from the wall thermo- stat, Furnace #1 will start the ignition sequence and the burners will light. About thirty seconds after the burners light, the blowers on both furnaces will come on in heating speed. When the thermostat is satis- fied, the burners will shut off and, after the selected blower off delay time, both blowers will shut off at the same time. On a call for second stage of heat, the burners of Furnace #2 will also light and both blowers will run. The twinning control ensures that both blowers come on and shut off at the same time.

Cooling - On a call for cooling (Y signal) from the wall thermostat, both furnace blowers will come on at the same time. When the thermostat is satisfied, both blowers will stay on for 60 seconds, then will shut off at the same time.

Continuous Fan - On a thermostat call for continuous fan (G signal), both furnace blowers will come on at the same time in cooling speed and will stay on until the G signal is removed.

STAGING

This control can also be used along with a two-stage wall thermostat to stage two twinned furnaces, making them operate like a single two- stage furnace. This allows only one furnace to supply heat during times when the heat output from one furnace is sufficient to satisfy the demand. When one duct system is used for two furnaces, it is neces- sary that the two blowers operate in unison. The twinning function of this board ensures that both blowers turn on and off simultaneously, and operate on the same blower speed. Even when only one furnace is supplying heat, both furnace blowers must run.

The twinning feature of this board can also be used for staging of two furnaces. With this feature, a single wire is connected between the TWIN terminal on one furnace board to the TWIN terminal on the sec- ond furnace board. The board then communicates the blower status from one furnace to the other along this wire. This communication makes the second furnace blower come on at the same time, and on the same speed, as the first furnace blower. To ensure stable communi- cation, the common terminal of each control must be connected.

Staging Instructions

Connect the control wiring as shown in Figure 22.

1.Connect the low voltage wiring from the wall thermostat to the ter- minal strip on the control board of Furnace #1. For staging applica- tions, the wire from thermostat W1 is connected to the W connection on the board on Furnace #1. The wire from thermostat W2 is connected to Furnace #2 through a separate relay, as described below.

SECTION VII: CONDENSATE PIPING AND FURNACE VENTING CONFIGURATION

CONDENSATE DRAIN LOCATION

As shipped from the factory:

•For all 040, 060, & 080K input furnaces the main drain is plumbed through the casing right-side opening when viewed from the front of the furnace.

•For all 100, 120, & 130K input furnaces the main drain is plumbed through the casing left-side opening when viewed from the front of the furnace.

NOTICE

The Figures 25 - 28 show the condensate drain arrangement for the various possible furnace and vent blower positions.

The condensate hoses must slope downwards at all points.

The furnace condensate pan is self priming and contains an internal trap to prevent flue gas leaking. Do not install an external condensate trap.

2.Connect a wire from the TWIN terminal of Furnace #1 to the TWIN terminal of Furnace #2.

3.Install a separate 24V relay as shown in the diagram below. Use of this relay is required, as it ensures that the transformers of the two furnaces are isolated, thus preventing the possibility of any safety devices being bypassed.

4.Connect the 24V common between furnace #1 and furnace #2.

When drain hose routing changes are required (shown in Figures 25 - 28), be sure to cap all un-used openings.

If rerouting hoses - excess length should be cut off so that no sagging loops will collect and hold condensate - which will cause the furnace to not operate.

No hose clamps are needed for connecting to the condensate pan.
