Carrier 58TMA operating instructions

The furnace starts up in either low- or high-gas heat. If furnace starts up in low-gas heat, control CPU determines low-gas heat on time (from 0 to 16 minutes) which is permitted before switching to high-gas heat.

If power is interrupted, stored history is erased, and control CPU selects low-gas heat for up to 16 minutes and then switches to high-gas heat as long as thermostat continues to "call for heat." Subsequent selection is based on stored history of thermostat cycle times.

When the wall thermostat "calls for heat," R-W1 circuit closes. The furnace control performs a self-check, verifies low-heat and high-heat pressure switch contacts LPS and HPS are open, and starts inducer motor IDM in low speed or high speed as appropriate.

a.Inducer prepurge period—As inducer motor IDM comes up to low speed or high speed, the low-heat pressure switch contacts LPS (or LPS and HPS) close to begin a 15-sec prepurge period.

b.Ignitor warm-up—At the end of prepurge period, hot surface ignitor HSI is energized for a 17-sec ignitor warm-up period.

c.Trial-for-ignition sequence—When ignitor warm-up period is completed, main gas valve relay contacts MGVR-1 and -2 close to energize low-heat gas valve solenoid GV, gas valve opens, and 24-v power is supplied for a field-installed humidifier at terminals HUM and COM. Low-heat gas valve solenoid GV permits gas flow to the burners where it is ignited. After 5 sec, ignitor HSI is de-energized, and a 2-sec flame-proving period begins.

If furnace control CPU selects high-gas-heat operation, high-heat gas valve solenoid GV is also energized after normally closed high-heat pressure switch relay HPSR closes and after inducer motor IDM goes to high speed and provides sufficient pressure to close high-heat pressure switch HPS. HPSR is open while furnace is powered in standby mode. If high-heat pressure switch HPS fails to close and low-heat pressure switch LPS closes, furnace operates at low-heat gas flow rate until high-heat pressure switch closes.

d.Flame-proving—When burner flame is proved at flame- proving sensor electrode FSE, control CPU begins blower on delay period and continues to hold gas valve GV open. If burner flame is not proved within 2 sec, control CPU closes gas valve GV, and control CPU repeats ignition sequence for up to 3 more trials-for-ignition before going to ignition lockout. LOCKOUT IS RESET AUTOMATI- CALLY after 3 hr, or by momentarily interrupting 115-v power to furnace, or by interrupting 24-v power at SEC1 or SEC2 to control CPU (not at W/W1, G, R, etc.). Opening thermostat R-W circuit will not reset ignition lockout.

If flame is proved when flame should not be present, control CPU locks out of gas heating mode and operates inducer motor IDM on high speed until flame is no longer proved.

e.Blower on delay—If burner flame is proven, 45 sec after gas valve GV is opened blower motor BLWM is energized on appropriate heating speed, low-gas-heat or high-gas- heat speed. Simultaneously, EAC terminals EAC-1 and EAC-2 are energized with 115v and remain energized as long as blower motor BLWM is energized.

f.Switching from low- to high-gas heat—If furnace control CPU switches from low-gas heat to high-gas heat, control CPU switches inducer motor IDM speed from low to high. The high-heat pressure switch relay HPSR closes. When

inducer motor IDM provides sufficient pressure to close high-heat pressure switch HPS, high-heat gas valve sole- noid GV is energized. Blower motor BLWM switches speed for high-gas heat 5 sec after control CPU switches from low-gas heat to high-gas heat.

g.Switching from high- to low-gas heat—Control CPU will not switch from high-gas heat to low-gas heat while thermostat R-W circuit is closed when a single-stage thermostat is used.

h.Blower off delay—When thermostat is satisfied, R-W circuit is opened, de-energizing gas valve GV, stopping gas flow to burners, and de-energizing humidifier terminals HUM and COM. Inducer motor IDM remains energized for a 5-sec post-purge period. Blower motor BLWM and EAC terminals EAC-1 and EAC-2 remain energized for 90, 135, 180, or 225 sec (depending on selection at blower off delay switches SW-3 and SW-4). Furnace control CPU is factory set for a 135-sec blower off delay.

2.Non-Adaptive Heating Mode—Two-Stage Thermostat and 2-Stage Heating

(See Fig. 16 for thermostat connections.)

NOTE: The low-heat-only switch SW-2 ON selects low-heat- only operation mode in response to closing thermostat R-W/W1 circuit. When high-heat-only switch SW-1 is off, closing thermo- stat R to W1-and-W2 circuits is required for high-gas-heat operation. When high-heat-only switch SW-1 is on, it always causes high-gas-heat operation when R-W/W1 circuit is closed, regardless of setting of low-heat-only switch SW-2 and regardless of whether R-W2 circuit is closed or open.

The start-up and shutdown functions and delays described in item 1 above apply to 2-stage heating mode as well, except for switching from low- to high-gas heat and vice versa.

a. When wall thermostat "calls for heat," R-W/W1 circuit closes for low-gas heat or R to W1-and-W2 circuits close for high-gas heat. The furnace control performs a self- check, verifies low-heat and high-heat pressure switch contacts LPS and HPS are open, and starts inducer motor IDM in low speed or high speed as appropriate.

b. Switching from low- to high-gas heat—If thermostat R-W/W1 circuit for low-gas heat is closed and R-W2 circuit for high-gas heat closes, control CPU switches inducer motor IDM speed from low to high. The high-heat pressure switch relay HPSR closes. When inducer motor IDM provides sufficient pressure to close high-heat pres- sure switch HPS, high-heat gas valve solenoid GV is energized. Blower motor BLWM switches speed for high- gas heat 5 sec after R-W2 circuit closes.

c.Switching from high- to low-gas heat—If thermostat R-W2 circuit for high-gas heat opens and R-W/W1 circuit for low-gas heat remains closed, control CPU switches inducer motor IDM speed from high to low. The high-heat pressure switch relay HPSR opens to de-energize high-heat gas valve solenoid GV. When inducer motor IDM reduces pressure sufficiently, high-heat pressure switch HPS opens. The low-heat gas valve solenoid GV remains energized as long as low-heat pressure switch LPS remains closed. Blower motor BLWM switches speed for low-gas heat 5 sec after R-W2 circuit opens.
