GAS HEATING SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS

When the thermostat calls for the first stage of heating, the low-voltage control circuit from “R” to “W1” is completed. A call for heat passes through the UCB to the ignition control board (ICB). The UCB monitors the “W1” call and acts upon any call for heat by monitoring the gas valve (GV). Once volt- age has been sensed at the GV, the UCB will initiate the fan on delay for heating, energizing the indoor blower the speci- fied delay has elapsed.

When the thermostat has been satisfied, heating calls are ceased. The GV is immediately closed. The blower is de- energized after the fan off delay for heating has elapsed. The draft motor performs a 30-second post purge.

IGNITION CONTROL BOARD

FIRST STAGE OF HEATING

When the ICB receives a call for first stage of heating, “W1,” the draft motor is energized. Once the draft motor has been proven, a 30-second purge is initiated. At the end of the purge, both main valves of the GV are opened, and the spark ignitor is energized for 10 seconds. The ICB then checks for the presence of flame. If flame is detected, the ICB enters a flame stabilization period. If flame was not detected, both main valves close, and a retry operation begins.

During the flame stabilization period, a loss of the flame for 2 seconds will cause the main valves to close and the retry operation to begin. After the flame stabilization period, a loss of flame for 3/4 second will cause the main valves to close and the retry operation to begin.

At the conclusion of the flame stabilization period, the ICB will operate the gas heat in high fire (both valves open) for an additional 100 seconds (for a total for 120 seconds of high fire operation). After this 100 seconds, the ICB will then use the call for the second stage of heat to control the second main valve of the GV.

When “W1” is satisfied, both valves are closed.

SECOND STAGE OF HEATING

When the ICB receives a call for the second stage of heating, “W2,” the ICB conducts a complete first stage ignition sequence. If this sequence is satisfied, the second main valve of the GV is opened.

When “W2” is satisfied, the second main valve is closed.

RETRY OPERATION

When a flame is lost or is not detected during an attempt to achieve ignition, a retry operation occurs. A 30-second purge is performed between ignition attempts.

If the unit fails after three ignition attempts, the furnace is locked-out for one hour. The furnace is monitored during this one-hour period for unsafe conditions.

RECYCLE OPERATION

When a flame is lost after the flame stabilization period, a recycle operation occurs. If the unit fails after five recycle attempts, the furnace is locked-out for one hour.

GAS HEATING OPERATION ERRORS

LOCK-OUT

A one-hour lockout occurs following three retries or five recy- cles. During the one-hour lockout, flame detection, limit con- ditions, and main valves are tested. Any improper results will cause the appropriate action to occur. Recycling the low volt- age power cancels the lock-out.

TEMPERATURE LIMIT

If the UCB senses zero volts from the high temperature limit, the indoor blower motor is immediately energized. When the UCB again senses 24 volts from the temperature limit, the draft motor will perform a 15-second post-purge and the indoor blower will be de-energized following the elapse of the fan off delay for heating.

This limit is monitored regardless of unit operation status, i.e. this limit is monitored at all time.

If the temperature limit opens three times within one hour, it will lock-on the indoor blower motor and flash code is initiated (See Table 28).

FLAME SENSE

Flame sensing occurs at all times. If “W1” is not present and a flame is sensed for 2 seconds, the draft motor is energized and the main valve is kept off. The ICB halts any operation until a flame is not detected. Once the flame detection is lost, the ICB performs a post-purge. Normal operation is allowed concurrently with the purge (i.e. this purge can be considered the purge associated with a call for “W1”).

If “W1” is present, a flame is sensed, but the main valve is not energized, the draft motor is energized until the flame detec- tion is lost. Normal operation is now allowed.

The flame detection circuitry continually tests itself. If the ICB finds the flame detection circuitry to be faulty, the ICB will not permit an ignition sequence. Also, the draft motor is ener- gized. If this failure should occur during an ignition cycle the failure is counted as a recycle.

GAS VALVE

The UCB and ICB continuously monitor the GV.
