VALVE CONVERSION

1.Route wiring to left side of furnace.

2.Remove junction box cover.

3.Connect 120 white wire to furnace 120 white wire.

4.Connect 120 black wire to furnace 120 black wire.

5.Connect ground wire to furnace green ground wire.

After field hookups have been made, put wire connections into furnace junction box and replace cover.

6.Connect thermostat leads to the two blue furnace thermostat leads.

NOTE: Furnace is equipped with a 120 volt AC motor. All other electrical component parts are supplied with power from a trans- former inside the furnace at 24 volts AC.

NOTE: A 120 volt model can also be supplied with a 30 inch

power cord attached from the factory supplied with a molded plug with ground pin.

NOTE: DC units are supplied with a power switch

which when turned OFF for servicing will remove power through the furnace wiring. Switch must be in ON position for furnace to operate. See FIG 3-G. AC units switch is in valve circuit only.

POWER SUPPLY

Atwood Mobile Products highly recommends the use of an electronic (solid state) converter with clean, clear power output. This will assure the life of the electronic controls and motor life could be extended as much as 500% beyond typical linear converter applications.

THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

The thermostat is very sensitive. HANDLE WITH CARE AT ALL TIMES.

Locate thermostat 48˝ to 54˝ above floor on an INTERIOR wall away from areas of abnormal heat or cold. EXTERIOR wall location must have a 3/4˝ spacer between thermostat and exterior wall.

Follow manufacturer’s installation instructions provided with thermo- stat. When a thermostat is not supplied use a thermostat rated for 12 VDC or 24 VAC minimum lamp.

CONVERTIBLE GAS CONTROL FIG 6

LC MODEL UNITS come equipped with a convertible gas control. Each unit is supplied with two main burner orifices. One will be in place, the other will be attached to blower housing cover. Each orifice will be clearly marked with a drill size as shown below.

The pressure settings of the convertible valve are set for natural gas NAT 3.5˝ W.C. or LP 10.5˝ W.C. and are not adjustable. Use Loctite #RC609 on orifice threads when installing a new orifice. 1/8˝ NPT plug is provided upstream of gas connections for checking gas pressure.

(FIG. 6)

1.Check exposed section on side of adjustment plug to determine whether it is set for natural or propane. NAT is stamped on one end and LP is stamped on the other end of plug. The types of gas in use will be showing right side up.

2.Unscrew plug and remove from valve tower. DO NOT remove rod from tower or make any adjustments.

3.A. When set for LP and NAT is required:

Rotate plug and replace into valve tower.

NAT SHOULD NOW BE VISABLE FIG 6

B. When set for NAT and LP is required:

Rotate plug and replace into valve tower.

LP SHOULD NOW BE VISABLE FIG 6

4.Check rod for proper positioning while tightening plug into tower. The plug, which has been factory calibrated for this valve only,

should be reinstalled finger tight. DO NOT USE PLUG ON ANY OTHER VALVE.

INSTALL ONLY THE CORRECT MAIN BURNER ORIFICE FOR TYPE OF GAS BEING USED.

ORIFICE REPLACEMENT

1.Unit will need to be removed if installed, if not start with step #2.

2.Remove burner cover and extended manifold.

3.Remove burner assembly from control box.

4.Remove two screws holding burner head in place.

5.Use a 7/16˝ socket to remove orifice and replace correct orifice cor- responding to type of gas required, which corresponds to regulator plug setting FIG 6.

6.Replace burner head with two screws.

7.Reinstall burner assembly. Burner assembly must seal tight against control box.

8.Install extended manifold and apply thread sealant to threads going into gas valve.

9.After converting furnace, IN PLAIN SIGHT, put “CONVERTED” sticker (pro- vided in your conversion packet) on rating label.

PROPANE GAS PRESSURE TEST

The furnace and any individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of system at test pressures of more than 1/2 PSI.

Before furnace is connected, piping systems must be tested to be leak free. The test must maintain air pressure of at least 6˝ of mercury or 3 PSI for at least 10 minutes.

The entire piping system must be maintained within a range of 10-14˝ W.C. when all appliances are in operation. Test the gas connections for leakage with a leak test solution.

STATIC PRESSURE TEST

CASING STATIC PRESSURE TABLE

If duct static pressure cannot be set, casing static pressure should not exceed the values listed below when taken cold.

AC MODELS

0.25˝

W.C.

0.35˝ W.C.

NOTE: For maximum performance and reliability refer to Installation Addendum for manufacturer’s recommendations and specifications.

Voltage greater than indicated will cause higher static readings. Reducing the number of duct turns and stretching ducts will increase air flow and reduce static pressure. Adding ducts or increasing dis- charge system (hard ducting) will also reduce static pressure.

NOTE: Special tool required to take casing static pressure. Location for Static Pressure Tap for casing is located on back of casing (top left corner) FIG 3.
