LIMIT OPENS

If the limit switch opens for any reason during a call for heat, the following happens:

1.If the limit switch senses that the temperature in the unit is too high, the contacts between terminals C and NC on the limit switch open and the con- tacts between C and NO close. This interrupts the 24-volt signal to the pressure switch and also de- energizes terminal P.SW on the ignition control. The gas valve closes immediately, as the 24-volt signal to terminal P.SW is no longer present. The induced draft blower and the circulating air blower continue to run. Power to blower control board terminal W is maintained. The blowers continue to run until the limit switch closes or the heat call at the thermostat is satisfied.

2.When the limit switch senses that temperatures in the unit are normal, the contacts between terminals C and NO open, the contacts between terminals C and NC close and operation of the unit returns to normal.

PRESSURE SWITCH OPENS (BLOCKED FLUE)

1.If blockage of the flue occurs, the negative pressure in the induced draft blower is reduced. At the set point of the pressure switch, the contacts open.

This interrupts the 24-volt signal to terminal P.SW on the ignition control. The gas valve closes immediately, as the relay in the ignition control opens and interrupts the signal to terminal V2 of the ignition control.

2.Terminal W on the blower control board stays energized and the circulating air blower contin- ues to run. If the negative pressure is restored, the pressure switch closes and sends a 24-volt signal to the P.SW terminal on the ignition control. The ignition control makes a trial for ignition again and operation returns to normal.

Note: If the P.SW and TH terminals energize at the same time, the ignition control will not respond. A pressure switch being stuck closed is an example of what would cause this to happen.

ROLLOUT SWITCH ACTIVATED

1.If the conditions in the burner compartment cause the rollout switch to trip, the contacts on the switch open, interrupting the 24-volt signal going to termi- nal P.SW on the ignition control. This causes the ignition control to de-energize terminal V1, interrupting the 24-volt signal to the gas valve and immediately closing it.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS

2-19

2.The reason the rollout switch was tripped must be determined before corrective action is taken.

3.The signal to terminal P.SW can only be restored if the rollout switch is reset, which can only be done manually. The W terminal on the blower control board remains energized and the circulating air blower continues to operate. Once the rollout switch is reset, the operation of the unit returns to normal.

CALL FOR COOLING

Line Voltage

On a call for cooling, the thermostat closes the circuit between Y, G and R.

1.With Y energized, the contactor closes. This sends line voltage to compressor terminal C, causing the compressor to start. The outdoor fan also starts, drawing air through the outdoor coil.

2.Terminal G on the blower control board also energizes at the same time as Y. This starts the timer on the blower control board. Approximately 15 seconds later (or immediately - see note on page 2-20), the terminal marked COOL energizes. This sends line voltage to the circulating air blower, starting the blower.

3.The unit continues cooling as long as both Y and G are energized. When the cooling call is satisfied, the circuit between Y, G and R is interrupted. The contactor immediately opens, interrupting power to the compressor and the outdoor cooling fan.

4.With the low voltage signal to terminal G on the blower control board interrupted, the board starts a countdown to blower “off”. After approximately 90 seconds (see note on page 2-20), the cooling speed relay opens and the circulating air blower shuts down.

Low Voltage

1.On a call for cooling, the thermostat closes the circuit between R and terminals G and Y.

2.The 24-volt signal energizes terminal G on the blower control board, starting the fan “on” timer. Approximately 15 seconds later (or immediately - see note on page 2-20), the relay closes. This sends line voltage to the COOLING speed terminal on the blower control board, which starts the circulating air blower.

3.The signal from Y energizes the contactor, starting the compressor and the outdoor cooling fan.

4.When the cooling call is satisfied, both G and Y are de-energized. The contactor opens immediately, causing the compressor and the outdoor cooling fan to stop.
