Single-Wire Twinning Operation

Heating - On a call for heat (W signal) from the wall thermostat, both furnaces will start the ignition sequence and the burners on both fur- naces will light. About thirty seconds after the burners light, the blowers on both furnaces will come on in heating speed. When the thermostat is satisfied, the burners will all shut off and, after the selected blower off delay time, both blowers will shut off at the same time. The twinning control ensures that both blowers come on and shut off at the same time.

Cooling - On a call for cooling (Y signal) from the wall thermostat, both furnace blowers will come on at the same time in cooling speed. When the thermostat is satisfied, both blowers will stay on for 60 seconds, then will shut off at the same time.

Continuous Fan - On a thermostat call for continuous fan (G signal), both furnace blowers will come on at the same time in cooling speed and will stay on until the G signal is removed.

STAGING

This control can also be used along with a two-stage wall thermostat to stage two twinned furnaces, making them operate like a single two- stage furnace. This allows only one furnace to supply heat during times when the heat output from one furnace is sufficient to satisfy the demand. When one duct system is used for two furnaces, it is neces- sary that the two blowers operate in unison. The twinning function of this board ensures that both blowers turn on and off simultaneously, and operate on the same blower speed. Even when only one furnace is supplying heat, both furnace blowers must run.

Single-Wire Staging

The single-wire twinning feature of this board can also be used for stag- ing of two furnaces. With this feature, a single wire is connected between the TWIN terminal on one furnace board to the TWIN terminal on the second furnace board. The board then communicates the blower status from one furnace to the other along this wire. This communica- tion makes the second furnace blower come on at the same time, and on the same speed, as the first furnace blower.

Single-Wire Staging Instructions

Connect the control wiring as shown in Figure 22, "Two-Stage Twinning Wiring Diagram".

1.Connect the low voltage wiring from the wall thermostat to the ter- minal strip on the control board of Furnace #1. For staging applica- tions, the wire from thermostat W1 is connected to the W connection on the board on Furnace #1. The wire from thermostat W2 is connected to Furnace #2 through a separate relay, as described below.

2.Connect a wire from the TWIN terminal of Furnace #1 to the TWIN terminal of Furnace #2.

3.Install a separate 24V relay as shown in the diagram below. Use of this relay is required, as it ensures that the transformers of the two furnaces are isolated, thus preventing the possibility of any safety devices being bypassed.

Single-Wire Staging Operation

Heating - On a call for first-stage heat (W1 signal) from the wall thermo- stat, Furnace #1 will start the ignition sequence and the burners will light. About thirty seconds after the burners light, the blowers on both furnaces will come on in heating speed. When the thermostat is satis- fied, the burners will shut off and, after the selected blower off delay time, both blowers will shut off at the same time. On a call for second stage of heat, the burners of Furnace #2 will also light and both blowers will run. The twinning control ensures that both blowers come on and shut off at the same time.

Cooling - On a call for cooling (Y signal) from the wall thermostat, both furnace blowers will come on at the same time. When the thermostat is satisfied, both blowers will stay on for 60 seconds, then will shut off at the same time.

Continuous Fan - On a thermostat call for continuous fan (G signal), both furnace blowers will come on at the same time in cooling speed and will stay on until the G signal is removed.

TG9S*MP, GG9S*MP specifications

Johnson Controls has long been at the forefront of building efficiency solutions, and their TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP series exemplify this commitment. These two-stage, multi-position gas furnaces are designed for optimal comfort and performance in residential applications, and they come packed with a variety of features that enhance their efficiency and operational capabilities.

One of the standout features of the TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP furnaces is their efficient two-stage operation. This technology allows the unit to operate at a lower capacity most of the time, which translates into reduced energy consumption and costs. When the demand for heating increases, the furnace automatically shifts to a higher capacity, ensuring a consistent and comfortable indoor temperature. This flexibility not only enhances comfort but also extends the lifespan of the unit as it doesn't have to work harder than necessary.

Energy efficiency is a crucial characteristic of both models. With an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 96%, these furnaces convert a significant amount of the fuel they consume into usable heat. Such efficiency ratings not only help in reducing energy bills but also have a positive impact on the environment by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.

Both models feature advanced technology in their design, including a fully modulating gas valve and a variable-speed blower motor. The modulating valve adjusts the gas flow in response to the thermostat’s signals, allowing for precise temperature control and improved comfort. Meanwhile, the variable-speed blower motor enhances airflow while operating quietly, significantly improving overall indoor air quality by promoting even heat distribution throughout the home.

From a structural standpoint, the TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP are built with durable materials designed for longevity. Their compact design allows for flexible installation options, whether in a closet, attic, or basement. The furnaces also come equipped with a robust heat exchanger crafted from high-quality materials, which ensures both reliability and efficiency.

In conclusion, the Johnson Controls TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP furnaces provide homeowners with efficient, reliable, and comfortable heating solutions. With advanced features such as two-stage operation, impressive AFUE ratings, and modern technology integrations, these models stand out in the market as dependable options for both energy savings and year-round comfort. Whether you're a homeowner looking to upgrade your heating system or a contractor seeking high-quality products for your clients, these furnaces represent a smart choice.
