and operate the inducer motor IDM at full speed until flame is no longer proved.
5.Inducer Speed Change — If the cycle starts in medium heat, the furnace control CPU reduces the inducer speed slightly after flame sense. If cycle starts in high-heat, the furnace control CPU increases the inducer speed after flame sense. The reduction in speed in medium-heat is to optimize combustion for maximum efficiency.
6.Blower-On delay — If the burner flame is proven the blower-ON delay for medium-heat and high-heat are as follows:
Medium-heat — 60 seconds after the gas valve GV-M is opened the blower motor BLWM is turned ON at low- or medium-heat airflow.
High-heat — 35 seconds after the gas valve GV-M is opened the BLWM is turned ON at high-heat airflow. Simultaneously, the humidifier terminal HUM and elec- tronic air cleaner terminal EAC-1 are energized and re- main energized throughout the heating cycle.
7.Switching from Medium- to Low-Heat — If the fur- nace control switches from medium-heat to low-heat, the furnace control will turn the blower ON at low-heat air- flow, energize the HPSR relay to open the NC contact, and slowly decrease the inducer motor speed. When the HPSR relay is energized and the NC contact opens the throttling valve TV is deenergized and the gas flow reduces to low- heat rate.
Switching from Low- to Medium-Heat — If the fur- nace control CPU switches from low-heat to medium- heat, the furnace control CPU will de-energize the HPSR relay to close the NC contact and slowly increase the in- ducer motor speed until the medium-heat pressure switch MPS closes. When the medium-heat pressure switch MPS closes, the throttling valve solenoid TV is energized and the inducer motor RPM is noted by the furnace control CPU. The RPM is used to evaluate vent system resistance. This evaluation is then used to determine the required RPM necessary to operate the inducer motor in medium- heat and high-heat mode. The blower motor BLWM will transition to medium-heat airflow five seconds after the furnace control CPU switches from low-heat to medium- heat.
Switching from Low- to High-Heat — If the furnace control CPU switches from low-heat to high-heat, the fur- nace control CPU will de-energize the HPSR relay to close the NC contact and slowly increase the inducer mo- tor speed until the medium-heat pressure switch MPS closes. When the medium-heat pressure switch MPS closes, the throttling valve solenoid TV is energized and the inducer motor RPM is noted by the furnace control CPU. The RPM is used to evaluate vent system resistance. This evaluation is then used to determine the required RPM necessary to operate the inducer motor in medium- and high-heat mode. The blower motor BLWM will trans- ition to high-heat airflow five seconds after the furnace control CPU switches from low-heat to high-heat. As the inducer RPM gradually increases the high-heat pressure switch HPS closes and the gas valve solenoid GV-HI is energized.
Switching from Medium- to High-Heat — If the fur- nace control CPU switches from medium-heat to high- heat, the furnace control CPU will gradually increase the inducer motor speed to the required high-heat RPM. The blower motor BLWM will transition to high-heat airflow five seconds after the furnace control CPU switches from medium-heat to high heat. As the inducer RPM gradually increases the high-heat pressure switch HPS closes and the gas valve solenoid GV-HI is energized.
Switching from High- to Medium- or Low-Heat —
The furnace control CPU will not switch from high-heat to medium- or low-heat while the thermostat R to W cir- cuit is closed when using a single-stage thermostat.
8.Blower-Off Delay — When the thermostat is satisfied, the R to W circuit is opened, de-energizing the gas valve GV-M, stopping gas flow to the burners, and de-energiz- ing the throttling valve TV, and humidifier terminal HUM. The inducer motor IDM will remain energized for a 15-second post-purge period. The blower motor BLWM and air cleaner terminal EAC-1 will remain energized at low-heat airflow or transition to low-heat airflow for 90, 120, 150, or 180 seconds (depending on selection at blower-OFF delay switches). The furnace control CPU is factory-set for a 120-second blower- OFF delay.
Two-Stage Thermostat and Two-Stage Low / High Heating
See Fig. 58 for thermostat connections.
NOTE: In this mode the low-heat only switch SW1-2 must be ON to select the low-heat only operation mode in response to closing the thermostat R to W1 circuit. Closing the thermostat R to W1-and-W2 circuits always causes high-heat operation, regardless of the setting of the low-heat only switch.
The furnace will start up in either medium-, or high-heat. The furnace will operate in low-heat after starting and operating for 1 minute at medium-heat before transitioning to low-heat.
The wall thermostat ”calls for heat”, closing the R to W1 circuit for low-heat or closing the R to W1-and-W2 circuits for high-heat. The furnace control performs a self-check, and verifies the low-heat and medium-heat pressure switch contacts LPS and MPS are open, then de-energizes the HPSR relay to close the NC contact.
The start up and shut down functions and delays described above apply to the 2-stage low/high heating mode as well, except for switching from high- to low-heat.
1.Switching from High- to Low-Heat — If the thermostat R to W2 circuit opens, and the R to W1 circuit remains closed, the furnace control CPU will gradually decrease the inducer motor speed to the required medium-heat RPM. When the inducer motor IDM reduces pressure suf- ficiently, the high heat pressure switch HPS will open and the high-heat gas valve solenoid GV-HI will be de-ener- gized. The gas valve solenoid GV-M will remain ener- gized as long as the low-heat pressure switch LPS remains closed. When the inducer motor speed gets within 15% of the required medium-heat RPM the furnace control CPU will start a 5 second blower airflow change delay. After the 5 second blower airflow change delay is completed the blower airflow will transition to low-heat airflow. At this point the furnace control CPU will energize the HPSR re- lay to open the NC contact and slowly decrease the in- ducer motor speed to the required low-heat RPM. When the HPSR relay is energized and the NC contact opens the throttling valve TV is de-energized and the gas flow re- duces to low-heat rate. When the inducer motor IDM re- duces pressure sufficiently, the medium-heat pressure switch MPS will open.

NOTE: In this mode the medium-heat only switch SW4-2 must be ON to select the medium-heat only operation mode in response to closing the thermostat R to W1 circuit. Closing the thermostat R to W1-and-W2 circuits always causes high-heat operation, regardless of the setting of the medium-heat only switch.
The wall thermostat ”calls for heat”, closing the R to W1 circuit for medium-heat or closing the R to W1-and-W2 circuits for
