Delay Taps Selection

The set of jumper pins on the control board labeled "DELAY" are used to set the delay profiles for the furnace. These can be chosen so as to maximize the comfort and sound levels for various regions of the coun- try.

Tap A is the default profile. It provides a 30-second ramp-up from zero airflow to full capacity and a 30-second ramp-down from full capacity back to zero airflow. Whenever there is a change in airflow mode, such as from low heat to high heat, the motor will take 30 seconds to ramp from one speed to the other.

Tap B is the humid profile. This profile is best-suited for installations where the humidity is frequently very high during cooling season, such as in the southern part of the country. On a call for cooling, the blower will ramp up to 50% of full capacity and will stay there for two minutes, then will ramp up to 82% of full capacity and will stay there for five min- utes, and then will ramp up to full capacity, where it will stay until the wall thermostat is satisfied. In every case, it will take the motor 30 sec- onds to ramp from one speed to another.

Tap C is the dry profile. This profile is best suited to parts of the country where excessive humidity is not generally a problem, where the sum- mer months are usually dry. On a call for cooling the motor will ramp up to full capacity and will stay there until the thermostat is satisfied. At the end of the cooling cycle, the blower will ramp down to 50% of full capac- ity where it will stay for 60 seconds. Then it will ramp down to zero. In every case, it will take the motor 30 seconds to ramp from one speed to another.

Tap D is the normal profile, best suited for most of the country, where neither excessive humidity nor extremely dry conditions are the norm. On a call for cooling, the motor will ramp up to 63% of full capacity and will stay there for 90 seconds, then will ramp up to full capacity. At the end of the cooling cycle, the motor will ramp down to 63% of full capac- ity and will stay there for 30 seconds, then will ramp down to zero. In every case, it will take the motor 30 seconds to ramp from one speed to another.

Humidistat

When a humidistat is installed in the system, the “Humidistat” jumper on the control board should be moved to the “YES” position. The cooling airflow will then be reduced by 15% whenever the humidistat indicates high humidity.

SECTION VIII: SAFETY CONTROLS

CONTROL CIRCUIT FUSE

A 3-amp fuse is provided on the control circuit board to protect the 24- volt transformer from overload caused by control circuit wiring errors. This is an ATO 3, automotive type fuse and is located on the control board.

BLOWER DOOR SAFETY SWITCH

This unit is equipped with an electrical interlock switch mounted in the burner compartment. This switch interrupts all power at the unit when the panel covering the blower compartment is removed.

Electrical supply to this unit is dependent upon the panel that covers the blower compartment being in place and properly positioned.

ROLLOUT SWITCH CONTROLS

These controls are mounted on the burner assembly. If the temperature in the burner area exceeds its set point, the ignition control and the gas valve are de-energized. The operation of this control indicates a mal- function in the combustion air blower, heat exchanger or a blocked vent pipe connection. Corrective action is required. These are manual reset controls that must be reset before operation can continue.

PRESSURE CONTROLS

Pressure Sensor - This furnace is equipped with a pressure sensor in the burner compartment near the combustion blower. This sensor mon- itors combustion airflow through furnace and piping systems. If any of the conditions listed below are detected by the pressure sensor, the control board will prevent a hazardous condition from occurring by speeding up the combustion blower motor in order to maintain ade- quate combustion airflow. If the combustion blower is already turning at full speed, the furnace control will then start reducing the input to the furnace in order to maintain proper combustion with the amount of com- bustion airflow available. If there is not enough combustion air available to give proper combustion even at the minimum input rate (50%), the control will close the gas valve and shut off the burners. The sensor will detect the following conditions.

1.Blockage of vent piping or vent terminal

2.Failure of combustion air blower motor or blower wheel.

Pressure Switch - This furnace is equipped with a pressure switch mounted on the furnace vestibule panel. This switch monitors the flow through the vent system. The switch will close at the beginning of each cycle when adequate combustion airflow is established. However, this switch may be open under certain conditions when the burners are lit. The pressure sensor is the primary flow sensor.

LIMIT CONTROLS

Limit Switch - This furnace is equipped with a high temperature limit control mounted to the left side of the furnace vestibule panel. This limit switch will open and shut off gas to the burners if it detects excessive air temperature in the furnace, which can be caused by any of the following conditions:

1.Dirty filter

2.Failure of the circulating blower motor or wheel

3.Too many supply or return registers closed or blocked.

Temperature Sensor - This furnace is also equipped with a tempera- ture sensor mounted to the left side of the vestibule panel, near the limit switch. This sensor monitors the temperature of the air being supplied to the home. If the sensor detects air temperature higher than normal, the furnace control will first speed up the circulating blower motor in order to try to increase the amount of airflow being delivered, thereby reducing the air temperature. If the blower motor is already turning at full speed, the control will then start reducing the input to the furnace to try to reduce the air temperature. If the supply air temperature is too high even at the minimum input rate (50%), the control will close the gas valve and shut off the furnace.

Main power to the unit must still be interrupted at the main power disconnect switch before any service or repair work is to be done to the unit. Do not rely upon the interlock switch as a main power dis- connect.

Blower and burner must never be operated without the blower panel in place.
