WARNING

To prevent death or personal injury due to electric shock, disconnect electrical power.

1.Remove both doors from the furnace.

2.Remove and save the screws holding the junction box to the left side of the furnace.

3.Disconnect the hose from the pressure switch. Leave the other end attached to the induced draft blower.

4.Remove five wires entering junction box from split grommet in blower deck.

5.Swap locations of the two bushings in the junction box.

6.Rotate the junction box 180 degrees so the access panel continues to face forward. The open snap bush- ing should now be at the bottom.

7.Insert five wires into the split grommet on the right side of the blower deck.

8.Insert the five wires through the open bushing in the bottom of the junction box.

9.Attach the junction box to the right side of the furnace, using the screws removed in step 2.

10.Reconnect the hose to the pressure switch.

11.Check the location of the pressure hose and all wiring. Confirm that it will not be damaged by heat from the burners or by the rotation of the fan. Also confirm that wiring location will not interfere with filter removal or other maintenance.

After the junction box is in the desired location, use washers to connect field-supplied conduit to the junction box in accordance with NEC and local codes. Connect hot, neu- tral, and ground wires as shown in the furnace wiring diagram. The wires and ground screw are located in the furnace junction box.

Low voltage wiring may enter through the right or left side of the furnace (as viewed for an upflow installation - top or bottom for a horizontal installation). See Specification Sheet for hole locations. Run the thermostat wires through either grommet in the blower deck (Figure 21).

Low voltage wires may be connected to the terminal strip as shown in Figure 22.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid possible equipment mal- function, route the low voltage wires to avoid interference with filter removal or other maintenance.

AIR CIRCULATION BLOWER FAN TIMING

All items in this section refer to the air circulation blower fan, not to the induced draft blower. The timing sequence for the induced draft blower is not adjustable.

When a call for cooling occurs, the circulation fan will come on. It will remain on for 45 seconds after the call for cooling ends. This fan timing is not adjustable.

During normal heating operation, the circulation fan will come on 37 seconds after the gas valve opens. This timing is not adjustable.

As shipped, the circulation fan will remain on for 90 seconds after the gas valve closes. If desired, this timing may be adjusted. The adjustment pins or switches are near the low voltage terminal strip (Figure 23).
