c.Adjust air temperature rise by adjusting blower speed. In- crease blower speed to reduce temperature rise. Decrease blower speed to increase temperature rise. For low heat, speed selection can be low (factory setting), med-low, or med (5-speed blowers only).

d.Remove thermostat jumpers and release Blower Access Door Switch.

e.To change motor speed selection for low heat, remove blower motor lead from control LO-HEAT terminal. (See Fig. 33.) Select desired blower motor speed lead from 1 of the other terminals and relocate it to the LO- HEAT terminal. (See Table 13 for lead color identifica- tion). Reconnect original lead to SPARE terminal.

f.Repeat steps a through e.

!CAUTION

FURNACE OVERHEATING HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace life.

Recheck temperature rise. It must be within limits specified on the rating plate. Recommended operation is at the midpoint of rise range or slightly above.

g.When correct low heat input rate and temperature rise is achieved, proceed to Step 6.

6.Adjust Manifold Pressure to Obtain High Heat Rate

a. Remove high fire regulator adjustment cap from gas valve pressure regulator.

b.Manually close blower access door switch.

c.Jumper R, W/W1 and W2 thermostat connections on control to run furnace in high heat. (See Fig. 33.)

d.d. Turn high-heat adjusting screw (3/16-in. (5 mm) or smaller flat tipped screwdriver) counterclockwise (out) to decrease input rate or clockwise (in) to increase rate.

e.Re-install high-fire adjustment caps.

f.Leave manifold or similar device connected and proceed to Step 7.

NOTE: DO NOT set high-heat manifold pressure less than 3.2-in. wc or more than 3.8-in. wc for natural gas. If manifold pressure is outside this range, change main burner orifices.

7.Verify natural gas high heat input rate by clocking meter. NOTE: Gas valve regulator adjustment caps must be in place for proper input to be clocked.

a.Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots served by the meter.

b.Run for 3 minutes in high-heat operation.

c.Measure time (in sec) for gas meter to complete 1 revolu- tion and note reading.

d.Refer to Table 12 for cubic ft. of gas per hr.

e.Multiply gas rate cu ft. /hr by heating value (Btuh/cu ft.) to obtain input.
