X.FURNACE SECTION CONTROLS AND

IGNITION SYSTEM

NORMAL FURNACE OPERATING SEQUENCE

This unit is equipped with an integrated direct spark ignition control.

1.The thermostat calls for heat.

2.The control board will run a self check to verify that the limit control and manual reset overtemperature control are closed and that the pressure switch is open.

3.Upon closure of the pressure switch, the control board energizes the induced draft blower for a 15 second prepurge.

4.After the 15 second prepurge, the gas valve opens and the spark is initiated for 7 sec- ond trial for ignition.

5.Burners ignite and flame sensor proves all burners have lit.

6.The circulating air blower is energized after 30 seconds.

7.The control board enters a normal operation loop in which all safety controls are moni- tored continuously.

8.Thermostat is satisfied and opens.

9.The gas valve is de-energized and closes, shutting down the burner flame.

10.The control board will de-energize the inducer after a five second post purge.

11.The circulating air blower is de-energized after 90 seconds.

The integrated control is a three ignition system.

After a total of three cycles without sensing main burner flame, the system goes into a 100% lockout mode. After one hour, the ignition control repeats the prepurge and ignition cycles for 3 tries and then go into 100% lockout mode again. It continues this sequence of cycles and lockout each hour until ignition is successful or power is interrupted. During the lockout mode, neither the ignitor or gas valve will be energized until the system is reset by turning the thermostat to the “OFF” position or interrupting the electrical power to the unit for 3 seconds or longer. The induced draft blower and main burner will shut off when the thermostat is satisfied.

The circulating air blower will start and run on the heating speed if the thermostat fan switch is in the “ON” position.

The integrated furnace control is equipped with diagnostic LED. The LED is lit continuously when there is power to the control, with or without a call for heat. If the LED is not lit, there is either no power to the control or there is an internal component failure within the control, and the control should be replaced.

A-13 specifications

The Heat Controller A-13 is an innovative and efficient heating solution designed to provide optimal comfort while reducing energy consumption. This advanced unit stands out in the market due to its combination of cutting-edge technologies and user-centric features, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial applications.

One of the main features of the A-13 is its high energy efficiency rating. With a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of up to 23, the unit not only lowers energy bills but also minimizes the carbon footprint, making it an environmentally friendly option. This efficiency is further enhanced by the use of variable speed inverter technology, which allows the unit to modulate its output based on the specific heating demand. This ensures a more consistent and comfortable indoor environment while avoiding the energy wastage associated with traditional fixed-speed systems.

The A-13 incorporates state-of-the-art smart technology, enabling users to control their heating system remotely. Through a dedicated mobile application, homeowners can adjust settings, monitor energy consumption, and receive maintenance alerts directly from their smartphones. This level of control offers convenience and ensures that the space is always comfortable upon arrival.

In addition to smart capabilities, the A-13 is designed with ultra-quiet operation in mind. Thanks to its advanced compressor and fan technology, the unit operates at sound levels as low as 26 decibels, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere even when the heating system is in operation. This is particularly beneficial for environments where noise can be a distraction, such as bedrooms or offices.

The heat exchanger technology used in the A-13 further contributes to its high performance. The unit features a corrosion-resistant, gold-fin coating that enhances durability and heat transfer efficiency. This not only extends the lifespan of the unit but also helps maintain optimal performance over time.

Safety features are also a priority in the A-13 design. The unit includes multiple safety mechanisms, such as overheating protection and automatic shut-off functions, ensuring safe operation even during extended use.

Overall, the Heat Controller A-13 represents a blend of efficiency, performance, and user-friendly technology, making it a top choice for those seeking reliable and sustainable heating solutions in their spaces. With its combination of smart controls, quiet operation, and robust safety features, the A-13 is indeed a leader in modern heating solutions.
