IMPORTANT: All Rheem productsmeet current Federal OSHA Guidelinesfor safety. California Proposition 65warnings are required for certainproducts, which are not covered by theOSHA standards.

California's Proposition 65 requireswarnings for products sold in Californiathat contain, or produce, any of over600 listed chemicals known to the Stateof California to cause cancer or birthdefects such as fiberglass insulation,lead in brass, and combustion productsfrom natural gas.

All “new equipment” shipped for sale inCalifornia will have labels stating thatthe product contains and/or producesProposition 65 chemicals. Although wehave not changed our processes,having the same label on all ourproducts facilitates manufacturing andshipping. We cannot always know“when, or if” products will be sold in theCalifornia market.

You may receive inquiries fromcustomers about chemicals found in, orproduced by, some of our heating andair-conditioning equipment, or found innatural gas used with some of ourproducts. Listed below are thosechemicals and substances commonlyassociated with similar equipment inour industry and other manufacturers.

• Glass Wool (Fiberglass) Insulation• Carbon Monoxide (CO)• Formaldehyde• Benzene

More details are available at theWebsites for OSHA (OccupationalSafety and Health Administration), atwww.osha.gov and the State ofCalifornia's OEHHA (Office ofEnvironmental Health HazardAssessment), at www.oehha.org.Consumer education is important sincethe chemicals and substances on thelist are found in our daily lives. Mostconsumers are aware that productspresent safety and health risks, whenimproperly used, handled andmaintained.

Combustion air must be free of acidforming chemicals; such as sulphur,fluorine and chlorine. These elementsare found in aerosol sprays,detergents, bleaches, cleaningsolvents, air fresheners, paint andvarnish removers, refrigerants andmany other commercial and householdproducts. Vapors from these productswhen burned in a gas flame form acidcompounds. The acid compoundsincrease the dew point temperature ofthe flue products and are highlycorrosive after they condense.

Combustion air requirements aredetermined by whether the furnace isin an open (unconfined) area or in aconfined space such as a closet orsmall room.

EXAMPLE 1.FURNACE LOCATED IN ANUNCONFINED SPACE

Using indoor air for combustion.

An unconfined space must have atleast 50 cubic feet for each 1,000BTUH of the total input for allappliances in the space. Here are afew examples of the room sizesrequired for different inputs. The sizesare based on 8 foot ceilings.

FURNACE CATEGORYINFORMATIONThis furnace is shipped as a Category Itype induced draft furnace. A CategoryI furnace operates with a nonpositivevent pressure and has a vent gastemperature at least 140°F above thedew point of the vent gases. ACategory I type may be a draft hoodequipped furnace or have a fanassisted combustion system (induceddraft). The inducer is used to pull flueproducts through the combustionchamber and as they leave thefurnace, most of the energy has beendissipated. The buoyant effect of theflue gases provides venting to theoutdoors.

During the off cycle, the inducer is offand there is very little flow through thevent, cooling the vent. During the oncycle there is no dilution airflow, aswith a draft hood type furnace.Although the vent heats up rapidlywithout dilution air, the flue productscontain more water vapor, whichresults in a higher dew pointtemperature. It is most important thatyou follow the guidelines in theseinstructions to prevent the possibleformation of condensation in theventing system.

As a Category I furnace it may bevented vertically with type B-1 ventpipe and also may be common vented,as described in these instructions.

NATURAL GAS:The maximum gas supply pressure tothe furnace should be 10.5” W.C. fornatural gas. The minimum gas supplypressure for purposes of inputadjustment to the furnace should be 5”W.C.A properly calibrated manometer orgauge is required for accurate gaspressure readings.1. When adjusting the furnace input, the

high fire input should be checked.The high fire manifold pressureshould be 3.5’ W.C. Follow thesesteps to be sure the furnace is highfire mode:a. With a single stage thermostat, the

furnace runs for 12 minutes on lowfire before shifting to high fire. Tobe certain that it is on high fire,jump terminals “W” and “W2” onthe control board in the blowercompartment.

b. With a two stage thermostat, setthe thermostat to its highest settingto keep the furnace operating inthe high fire mode.

2. To adjust high fire manifoldpressure, remove the adjustmentcover screw on the outlet end of thegas valve and turn the adjustmentscrew clockwise to increase thepressure and counterclockwise toreduce the pressure. Replace thecover screw securely. See Figure26.

3. The low fire manifold pressureshould be 1.7� W.C. As mentionedabove, the furnace remains in thelow fire mode for 12 minutes upon aheat call with a single stagethermostat. With a two stagethermostat, disconnect thethermostat lead to the “W2” terminalon the control board and the furnacewill remain in the low fire mode. Toadjust the pressure, remove theregulator cover, on top of the valve,and adjust as noted under Step 2,above. After the adjustment replacethe screw cover securely.NOTE: Use a 3/32� allen wrench formaking the pressure adjustment.

TO CHANGE ORIFICE SPUDS:1. Shut off the manual main gas valve

and remove the gas manifold.2. Replace the orifice spuds.3. Reassemble in reverse order.4. Turn the gas supply back on and

check for proper operation andmanifold pressure.

Check of input is important to preventover firing of the furnace beyond itsdesign-rated input. NEVER SET INPUTABOVE THAT SHOWN ON THERATING PLATE.TO CHECK FURNACE INPUT:1. Make certain that all other gas

appliances are shut off, with theexception of pilot burners.

2. Start the furnace3. Time the meter to measure the time

required to burn one cubic foot ofgas.

4. Use Table 4 to determine input rate.

13. Verify pressures for high and lowfire operation.

14. Shut off gas at the manual gasvalve and remove the U-Tubemanometer.

15. Replace the manifold pressure tapplug before turning on gas.

NATURAL GAS:If the supply gas line pressure isabove the operating range, installan in-line gas regulator to thefurnace. If supply gas line pressureis below the operating range, eitherremove any restrictions in the gassupply piping or enlarge the gaspipe. See Table 7.

LP GAS:If the supply gas line pressure is abovethe operating range, have the LPsupplier reduce the line pressure at theregulator. If supply gas line pressure isbelow operating range, have the LPsupplier adjust the line pressure at theregulator. See Table 8.NOTE: Depending on the amount of LPvapor and the outdoor ambienttemperature, the LP storage tank mayrequire supplemental heat to maintainproper pressure levels.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

TURN OFF ELECTRIC POWER ATTHE FUSE BOX OR SERVICE PANELBEFORE MAKING ANYELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.ALSO, THE GROUND CONNECTIONMUST BE COMPLETED BEFOREMAKING LINE VOLTAGECONNECTIONS. FAILURE TO DOSO CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICALSHOCK, SEVERE PERSONALINJURY OR DEATH.

IMPORTANT: The furnace must beinstalled so that the electricalcomponents are protected from water(furnace condensate).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

THE CABINET MUST BEPERMANENTLY GROUNDED. AGROUND SCREW IS PROVIDED INTHE JUNCTION BOX FOR THISPURPOSE. FAILURE TO DO SO CANRESULT IN FIRE, ELECTRICALSHOCK, PERSONAL INJURY ORDEATH.

The electrical supply requirements arelisted on the furnace rating plate.

Use a separate fused branch electricalcircuit containing a properly sized fuseor circuit breaker. Run this circuitdirectly from the main switch box to anelectrical disconnect which must bereadily accessible and located withinsight of the furnace. Connect from thedisconnect to the junction box on theleft side of the furnace, inside thecontrol compartment. See appropriatewiring diagram.

NOTE: The electrical junction boxinside the furnace control compartmentmay be relocated to the right side ifnecessary. A knockout is provided.

NOTE: L1 (hot) and neutral polaritymust be observed when making fieldconnections to the furnace. Theignition control on electric ignitionmodels will not sense flame if L1 andneutral are reversed.

Installation of the electric supply lineshould be in accordance with theNational Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No.70, latest edition, or CanadianElectrical Code Part 1 - CSA StandardC22.1 and local building codes.

WARNING!

WARNING!

THERMOSTATA single or two stage thermostat maybe used, however a two-stagethermostat is recommended foroptimum performance.

The room thermostat must becompatible with the integrated furnacecontrol on the furnace. All thermostatsavailable from the furnacemanufacturer’s Parts Department areacceptable. Generally, all thermostatsthat are not of the “current robbing”type are compatible with the integratedfurnace control we use. For thermostatwiring diagrams, see Figures 17 and18.

HEAT ANTICIPATOR SETTINGS

If a current reading taken at thethermostat is not performed, an initialsetting of .15 amps is recommended.Adjust as needed to improve comfortlevel.

ISOLATION RELAYIMPORTANT: Not all electronic nightsetback thermostats are compatiblewith the furnace control system.Some may require an isolation relay.

If an isolation relay is needed (partnumber 42-25104-01), install it asclose to the control board aspossible. Use a single-pole, single-throw relay with a 24-volt operatingcoil. The relay contacts should bedesigned for 24-volt loads.

Connect one end of the operating coilto the thermostat “W” terminal.Connect the other end of the coil tothe “C” terminal on the control board.See Figure 15.

Connect one side of the normallyopen contacts to the control board“W” terminal.

When the thermostat calls for heat, itpowers the 24-volt operating coil.This closes the relay contacts andconducts power from terminal 3 and4 to terminal “W” on the control boardand starts the furnace ignitionsequence.

80+ HIGH ALTITUDEINSTRUCTIONS

THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE(NFGC) GUIDELINES SHOULD BEFOLLOWED WHEN CONVERTINGTHESE FURNACES FOR HIGHALTITUDE OPERATION.

-GPL/-GLL HIGH ALTITUDEKITSAll -GPL/-GLL models can be convertedfor high altitude using the following kits:

High Altitude Kit ModelsRXGY-F13 . . . . . . . . . . . ALL -GPL modelsRXGY-F28 . . . . . . . . . . . -GLL-05, GLL-07(all),

-GLL-10RXGY-F27 . . . . . . . . . . . -GLL-12

The kits include pressure switches andinstructions for converting the furnacefor elevations above 5,000 ft. These kitsshould never be used at elevationsbelow 5,000 ft. In addition, the kitinstructions detail how to re-calculateburner orifice size based on gas heatingvalue and elevation. The instructionsare based on a required 4% perthousand feet reduction in input asspecified by the National Fuel GasCode (NFGC). Specific orifices shouldalways be recalculated for all highaltitude installations as outlined below.Orifices should be changed, ifnecessary, based on gas heating valueand elevation.

-GPL/-GLL -HIGH ALTITUDEOPTION #278Furnaces can be ordered from thefactory already converted for highaltitude elevations. The factory optionfor high altitude elevations would beordered as a 278 option (example: a100k BTU upflow furnace which isfactory converted for high altitudeelevations would have the modelnumber -GPL-10EBRMR278). Thesefactory converted furnaces come withpressure switches for high-altitudeelevations already attached. Also,different burner orifices are installed atthe factory which are one drill sizesmaller (#43 DMS) than standard -GPL/-GLL gas furnaces (#42 DMS). Thesmaller orifice is installed toaccommodate for average heatingvalues expected in most high altitudeareas and a required 4% per thousandfeet reduction in input as specified bythe National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC).Specific orifices should always berecalculated for all high altitude

installatons as outlined below. Orificesshould be changed, if necessary, basedon gas heating value and elevation.

ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2000 FTREQUIRE THAT THE FURNACEINPUT RATING BE ADJUSTED ANDTHAT THE SIZE OF THE BURNERORIFICES BE RE-CALCULATEDBASED ON ELEVATION AND GASHEATING VALUE. THE BURNERORIFICES MAY (OR MAY NOT)NEED TO BE CHANGED. THEFOLLOWING EXAMPLES SHOWHOW TO DETERMINE IF AN ORIFICECHANGE WILL BE NECESSARY ANDHOW TO DETERMINE THE NEWORIFICE SIZE.

IN CANADA, AS AN ALTERNATE TOADJUSTING THE BURNER ORIFICESIZE, THE MANIFOLD GASPRESSURE MAY BE ADJUSTED.THIS METHOD IS COVERED LATERIN THIS SECTION. THIS METHOD OFADJUSTING MANIFOLD PRESSUREMAY ONLY BE USED IN CANADIANINSTALLATIONS.

34� 80 Plus furnaces installed above2,000 ft. require the furnace to be de-rated 4% per thousand feet.

IMPORTANT: Factory installed orificesare calculated and sized based on asea level Natural Gas heating value of1075 BTU per cubic ft.

NOTE: Orifices are available throughyour local distributor.

The following are examples of orificesizing using the National fuel Gas CodeAppendix F. For a simplified estimationof orifice size based on altitude and fuelheating value, Tables 5 and 8 can beused. However, calculations are thebest method.

Example: 900 BTU/ft3 RegionalNatural Gas Heating Value

I / H = Q25000 / 900 = 27.78 ft3

I = Sea Level input (per burner): 25000H = Sea Level Heating Value: 900Q = 27.78 ft.3 Natural Gas per hour.

From Table F.1 of National Fuel GasCode Handbook, 2002 (3.5� w.c.column).Orifice required at Sea Level: #40

From Table F.4 of National Fuel GasCode Handbook, 2002Orifice required at 5000 ft. elevation(4% de-rate per thousand ft.): #42Orifice required at 8000 ft. elevation(4% de-rate per thousand ft.): #44

Example: 1050 BTU/ft3 RegionalNatural Gas Heating Value

I / H = Q25000 / 1050 = 23.81 ft3

I = Sea Level input (per burner): 25000H = Sea Level Heating Value: 1050Q = 23.81 ft.3 Natural Gas per hour.

From Table F.1 of National Fuel Gascode Handbook, 2002 (3.5� w.c.column).Orifice required at Sea Level: #43

From Table F.4 of National Fuel Gascode Handbook, 2002Orifice required at 5000 ft. elevation(4% de-rate per thousand ft.): #45Orifice required at 8000 ft. elevation(4% de-rate per thousand ft.): #47

LP GAS AT HIGH ALTITUDEELEVATION (TABLE 6)NOTE: Keep any parts removed duringLP conversion procedure stored withthe product literature for future use.

LP Gas is a manufactured gas that hasconsistent heating value across mostregions.

The NFGC guidelines are used with thefollowing exception:

The recommended LP Gas high altitudeorifice selections differ slightly in thatthe NFGC LP orifice chart, as they arenot accurate for Rheem products. TheNational Fuel Gas Code LP orifices arebased on an 11� of water columnpressure at the orifice, which differsfrom Rheem products that use 10� ofwater column at the orifice. Thisdifference requires a deviation from theNFGC orifice size recommendations.The Sea Level input should still bereduced by 4% per thousand ft. and theorifice size must be selected based onthe reduced input in Table 6.

ORIFICE ORDERINGINFORMATIONOrifice sizes are selected by adding the2-digit drill size required in the orificepart number. Drill sizes available are 39through 64; metric sizes available1.10mm (-90) and 1.15mm (-91):

Orifice Part Number 62-22175-(drillsize)

Example 1:#60 drill size orifice requiredPart # 62-22175-60

Example 2:1.15mm drill size orifice requiredPart #62-22175-91

ALTERNATE METHOD FORCANADIAN HIGH-ALTITUDEDERATEIn Canada, unless an orifice change isspecifically mandated by local codes, analternate method of altitude derationthrough a reduction in manifoldpressure is acceptable as described inTable 7. This information is based on aheating value of 1000 BTU per cubicfeet of natural gas, and 2500 BTU percubic feet of LP gas.

IMPORTANT: Actual input rates mustbe measured onsite with manifoldpressure adjustment to ensure that anactual 10% reduction in input rate isachieved.

Once this field adjustment has beenmade, the label shown in Figure 19must be affixed in a conspicuouslocation on the front of the furnacecabinet.

NOTE: This label is supplied in theinformation packet shipped with eachfurnace.

FURNACE INSTALLATIONWITH HIGH-EFFICIENCYPREMIUM COOLINGSYSTEMSFurnace installation with Rheem/Ruud -ARA or -ARL outdoor condensingunits can provide high efficiency (up to16 SEER) cooling operation.

For two-stage cooling, the input for lowcooling (YL) is on the ECM interfacecontrol (part number 62-24340-04 only)and not on the main IFC. This was donefor convenience of production. Thisshould be noted when routingthermostat connections since low speedcooling is not wired to the same controlboard as all other thermostat terminals.

UP TO 16 SEER COOLING OPERATION

SINGLE-STAGE COOLING: All IFCpart numbers and revisions arecompatible.

TWO-STAGE COOLING:

Check the part number of two-stageinterface control (part #62-24340-01 or62-24340-04). For proper operation ofhigh SEER equipment with two-stagecooling, the part should be 62-24340-04. The 62-24340-01 will not operatelow speed cooling and therefore will notwork with two-stage cooling systems

and should be replaced with the 62-24340-04 for high SEER two-stagecooling systems. One way to tell if thecontrol is the 62-24340-04 is to look atthe part to see if there is a thermostatconnection for low speed cooling (YL)on the control. This will be a screw typeinput like those of the thermostat inputson the main IFC. If no YL connection isavailable on the interface control, thefurnace is not compatible with highSEER equipment or will need to bereplaced.

A. Furnaces constructed up to January,2005 are not compatible with highSEER two-stage systems and willneed to be replaced with the newerfurnace to insure proper operationwith high SEER cooling equipment.

B. For furnaces constructed afterFebruary, 2005, but before May 15,2005, the interface control can bereplaced with the newer version toconvert the furnace for high SEERtwo-stage cooling. For this scenario,

contact the Rheem servicedepartment and a replacementcontrol will be shipped. BE SURETO REPLACE THE CONTROLBEFORE OR DURINGINSTALLATION. OTHERWISE, THESYSTEM MAY BE DOWN WHILEPARTS ARE BEING SHIPPED.

C. For furnaces constructed after May15, 2005 (date code F1805 or later),all components necessary for properoperation of high SEER equipmentare present on the furnace. Thereshould be no additionalmodifications necessary.

A NOTE ABOUT DEHUMIDIFICATION:

High SEER systems may require theuse of the onboard dehumidificationfeature of this system. Be sure toconsult the section titled“DEHUMIDIFICATION” on page 28 ofthis document.

START-UP PROCEDURES

WARNING!

WARNING!

c. The induced draft motor starts onhigh until the low pressure switchcontacts close (a maximum of 60seconds), and then changes to lowspeed. After a 30 second pre-purge,the spark ignitor energizes and thelow stage of the gas valve opens,lighting the burners.

d. After the gas valve opens, theremote flame sensor must proveignition for one second using theprocess of flame rectification. If theburners do not light, the systemgoes through another ignitionsequence. It does this up to 4 times.(2 tries on low fire and 2 tries onhigh fire.)

e. The main blower starts on lowspeed 20 seconds after the burnerslight. The furnace operates on lowfire for 12 minutes and then, if thethermostat is not satisfied, shifts tohigh fire, causing the draft inducer togo to high speed, the gas valve to100% and the main blower goes toheat speed.

f. When the thermostat cycle ends, thegas valve closes, and the burnersgo out.

g. The draft inducer will continuerunning for a 10 second (low speed)or 5 second (high speed) postpurge.

h. The main blower will run for 90seconds on high speed or 120seconds on low speed. (This timingis field adjustable, for 60, 90, 120 or150 seconds). See Figure 21 forswitch settings.

Sequence if the system doesn’t lightor doesn’t sense flame:a. If flame is not sensed within 8

seconds after the gas valve opens,the valve closes and the ignitor isde-energized. The induced draftmotor will run for 60 seconds on low,stop momentarily, and then restart.

b. The ignition process goes throughone more try on low fire. If this fails,there are two tries on high fire with a30 second interpurge between trials.During high fire ignition attempts,the inducer steps to high speed, thehigh pressure switch closes (bothpressure switches are now closed),and the gas valve steps to 100%.

c. If there is no ignition after the 2ndtrial on high fire, the furnace goesinto soft lockout for one hour.

d. The sequence repeats after a onehour delay and continues repeatinguntil ignition is successful or the callfor heat is terminated.

e. To reset the lockout, make andbreak power either at the thermostator at the unit disconnect switch for 5to 10 seconds. The furnace will thengo through another set of trials forignition.

f. If flame is established andmaintained during the trial forignition period and flame is lost, thegas valve is de-energized, the draftinducer completes a post-purge of10 seconds. The indoor blowermotor will be energized and/orremain energized on low speed forlow fire and heat speed for high firefor the selected delay off time.When the inter-purge delay is over,the control verifies the pressureswitch has opened and then initiatesanother ignition trial period. Thecontrol will recycle up to 5 flamelosses (4 re-cycles) within a singlecall for heat before going intolockout.

Sequence of operation with twostage thermostatConnect W1 and W2 terminals on thethermostat to W and W2 terminals onthe control board.Call for 1st stage heata. R and W thermostat contacts close

and the control module runs a self-check routine. After the controlmodule verifies that both sets ofpressure switch contacts are open,the induced draft motor starts onhigh until the low pressure switchcontacts close (a maximum of 60seconds), then changes to lowspeed.

b. After a 30 second pre-purge, thespark igniter energizes and the gasvalve (low stage) opens, lighting theburners.

c. After the burners light, the remoteflame sensor must prove ignition. Ifthe burners do not light, the systemgoes through another ignitionsequence. It does this up to 4 times(2 tries on low fire and 2 tries onhigh fire).

d. The main blower starts on lowspeed 20 seconds after the gasvalve opens. The furnace continuesto run on low until the call for heat issatisfied or the 2nd stage contactsclose. If the 1st stage call for heat issatisfied the gas valve closes andthe induced draft motor continuesrunning for a 10 second post purgetime. the main blower runs for 120seconds (this timing is fieldadjustable). See Figure 23 for switchsettings.

Call for 2nd stage heat after 1ststage

R and W2 thermostat contacts close,calling for 2 stage heat. The induceddraft motor then switches to highspeed and the high pressure switchcontacts will close. The gas valveswitches to high fire and the mainblower switches to heating speed.

27

2nd stage heat satisfied, 1st stageheat still required.R and W2 thermostat contacts open.The induced draft motor switches to lowspeed, the main blower motor switchesto low speed and the gas valvechanges to low fire. The furnacecontinues to run in this mode until the1st stage heat call is satisfied. Thesystem will shut down as noted in “c,”under 1st stage call for heat.

INTEGRATED FURNACECONTROL & ECM MOTORSETTINGSThese furnaces have ECM blowermotors. These motors deliver a constantlevel of air flow over a wide range ofexternal static pressures (0.1 to 0.8�W.C.). The interface board, foundbeside the furnace integrated controlboard, provides the requiredcommunications between the mainintegrated furnace control and the ECMblower motor. There is a bank of 4 dipswitches on the integrated furnacecontrol which controls the blower offtimings. See section on BLOWER OFFTIMINGS FOR ECM MOTORS andFigure 22 for proper switch settings.

There is a bank of 12 dip switches onthe interface board which define theoperation of the ECM motor. Only thefirst eleven switches are used for thisapplication. See Figure 20. Theseswitches (except for switches 9 and 12)are actually broken down into five dipswitch pairs. Switches 1 and 2 act as apair as do switches 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7and 8, and 10 and 11. The assignmentsof the switch pairs are shown in Table 11.

*IMPORTANT: Only traditionalhumidistats will work with this feature.

Dehumidistats will not work properlywith this feature.

+See Page 27 under Dehumidification.

HEATING AIRFLOWADJUSTMENTSThe furnace is shipped with low andhigh fire heating airflows. These areset from the factory to let the furnaceoperate at the mid point of thetemperature rise range. Thetemperature may vary slightly due tofurnace input and voltage variations.The installer is given the option of threeair flow options in the heating mode asshown in Table 12. Switches 1 and 2on the interface control regulate thesteady state heating mode airflow.

In the heating mode, the ECM motor isprogrammed to ramp up to its targetCFM over a fifteen (15) second period.After any of the user selected “Off”delays, see Figures 25 and 26, theECM motor will ramp down to 50% ofsteady state CFM for approximatelythirty (30) seconds. The motor will thenramp down to an off position.

*NOTE: Airflow for models (-)GPL-07EBRKR and (-)GLL-07EBRKRcannot be adjusted to give a rise lowerthan mid-rise on high fire.

COOLING AIRFLOWADJUSTMENTSThe furnace motor is programmed toprovide cooling airflows of 11⁄2, 2, 21⁄2and 3 tons in the (-)GPL/LL-05 EBMKRand -07 EBRKR units. Airflows of 21⁄2,3, 31⁄2, and 4 tons are available in the(-)GPL/LL-07 EBRQR units. Airflows of3, 31⁄2, 4 and 5 tons are available in the-10 EBRMR and -12 EARMR units.See Tables 14 and 16 for airflowoptions. Furnaces are shipped from thefactory set for maximum coolingairflow. Adjustments to the coolingairflow may be made using switches 7and 8 as shown in Table 13.

CONTINUOUS FANADJUSTMENTSThere are two options for theadjustment of continuous fan. Withswitch 9 “ON” the speed will be highfan. With switch 9 “OFF” the speed willbe soft fan. The cfm for these speedswill be a calculated percentage of theheating airflow speeds selected.

SETTING BLOWER OFFTIMINGS FOR COOLINGAND HEAT PUMPOPERATIONThere is a bank of four dip switches onthe main furnace control board forsetting blower off timings. Switches 1and 2 adjust the times. (See Figure 22.)

IMPORTANT: Switch 3 on theintegrated furnace control board is notused and must be in the “OFF” position.If put in the “On” position a 5 blink faultwill be flashed on the IFC.

When Switch 4 is in the “on” position onthe main IFC, the blower will continue itsnormal speed for 0, 30, 20 or 50seconds after a cooling or heat pumpcycle has ended. This also is dependentupon the settings of Switches 1 and 2 onthe IFC, see Figure 20. The blower will

then enter one of four “off” delay profilesas shown in Figure 23. The profile isdetermined by the settings of Switches 3and 4 on the interface board. Forexample: If the switches are in position“A” as shown in Figure 21, then profile“A”, as shown in Figure 23, is enteredafter the blower off timing.

These switch combinations between themain IFC and interface control boardallow for a wide range of “off” delaytimings. Switches 3 and 4 on the ECMinterface control can be used with anymain IFC switch 1 and 2 setting tocontrol how the blower turns “on” and“off”. Possible “off” delay timings andprofiles are shown in Table 15.

A corresponding cooling/heat pump “On”delay is also chosen by Switches 3 and4 on the interface control as shown inFigure 24. For example, if “Off” delayprofile “A” is chosen in Figure 23, then“ON” delay profile “A” in Figure 24 isautomatically chosen.

DEHUMIDIFICATIONThe interface control has two optional 24volt AC only inputs. The “B” terminalinput is provided for heat pumpapplications. This signal comes from aheat pump thermostat and tells the heatpump to switch its reversing valve to

heat mode. If this “B” signal is alsorouted to the interface control, all airflowadjust switches (7 & 8) and “On DemandDehumidification” are bypassed in theheat mode only. The airflow will remainat the normal airflow as selected byswitches 5 & 6 throughout the heatmode. This allows the user to have aswitched (-10%) airflow adjustment fordehumidification or the “On DemandDehumidification” in cooling mode, butnot the adverse humidity and heat riseeffects of using these adjustmentsduring a heat pump’s heat mode. The“B” terminal does not apply to gasoperation.

The “On Demand Dehumidification”input allows the user to have automaticdehumidification that is controlled by theuser’s humidistat setting. Dehumidistatsare not compatible with the interfacecontrol. When the humidity exceeds thehumidistat setting, it routes a 24 volt, AConly, signal to the “On DemandDehumidification” terminal. This will inturn decrease the airflow by 15%. Thisresults in higher latent capacity andincreases the level of comfort. Thisfeature is only available in the coolingmode.

FIGURE 28FURNACE NAME PLATE

AIR FLOWThe importance of proper air flow overthe heat exchanger cannot be overemphasized. One of the most commoncauses of heat exchanger failure isoverheating due to low air flow. An airflow table is located inside the blowerdoor and on the following pages.

NOTE: The installation of the ductsystem is under the control of theinstalling contractor. If the duct systemis not correctly sized and installed, thehomeowner may experience air noise,low or no airflow out of some vents,component failures, or high utility bills.Other miscellaneous problems are alsopossible.

TEMPERATURE RISE CHECK

To determine if the air flow is correct,make a temperature rise check.

1. Insert a thermometer in the supplyair duct as close to the furnace aspossible yet out of a direct linefrom the heat exchanger. SeeFigure 27.

2. Insert a thermometer in the returnair duct as close to the furnace aspossible.

3. Operate the furnace.

4. When the thermometer in thesupply air duct stops rising(approximately five minutes),subtract the return air temperaturefrom the supply air temperature.The difference is the temperaturerise.

5. Compare the measuredtemperature rise to the approvedtemperature rise range listed onthe furnace name plate. SeeFigure 28.

If the measured temperature rise isabove the approved range, the air flowis too low. More air must be moved byspeeding up the blower, by removingrestrictions in the duct system, or byadding more supply or return air duct. Ifthe measured temperature rise is belowthe approved range, the air flow is toomuch. Use dip switches on the blowerinterface board to adjust airflow.

Ideally the measured temperature riseshould be in the middle of the range.

The rise range is the same for high andlow inputs.

SAFETY FEATURES

LIMIT CONTROLThe high limit cut-off temperature is setat the factory and cannot be adjusted.The temperature setting prevents theair temperature leaving the furnacefrom exceeding the maximum outlet airtemperature, which, if exceeded, willshut the furnace down.

There are several reasons for a limitswitch to open and almost alwaysinvolve low airflow through the furnace.

1. A dirty or restricted air filter.

2. A dirty or restricted cooling coil.

3. Undersized or restricted return airsystem.

4. Undersized or restricted supply airsystem.

5. A problem affecting the mainblower;

A. A wrong speed tap selection.

B. Failing motor bearings.

C. Low voltage to the motor.

D. Dirty blower wheel.

E. Wrong motor rotation.

F. Blower wheel slipping on themotor shaft.

6. Overfiring the furnace with too muchgas pressure.

7. Ventilation problems.

FLAME ROLL-OUTSAFETY SWITCHESFurnaces are equipped with safetyswitches to protect against flame roll-out conditions in the burnercompartment, which, if tripped, willterminate the heating cycle. In theevent of a flame roll-out condition, theswitch will shut the furnace down.Switches for the (-)GPN/(-)GPPfurnaces are located on either side ofthe burner cover plate and just abovethe burners on the blower dividerpanel. If a switch is tripped, it must bemanually rest. DO NOT jumper or reset this switch. If this switch shouldtrip, a qualified installer, service agencyor the gas supplier should be called todiagnose and/or correct the sourse oftripping. If this unit is mounted in acloset, the door must be closed whenmaking this check.

Page 35: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - AC Direct INSTRUCTIONS ... complete the following installation checklist. ... NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME. USE A

35

PRESSURE SWITCHESThis furnace has two pressureswitches for sensing a blocked ventcondition. One is for high pressure andthe other for low pressure. When thedraft inducer is running on high speed,both switches will normally close. whenrunning on low inducer speed, only thelow pressure switch will close. If thereis a blocked vent condition, failedinducer motor or leak in the pressureswitch hoses, the pressure switchcontacts will remain open. The“STATUS” light will blink twice,indicating a pressure switch problem.The high fire pressure switch is locatedin the upper position on the furnace.

LUBRICATION

The blower motor and induced draftmotor are permanently lubricated bythe manufacturer and do not requirefurther attention.

The motor must be cleanedperiodically by a qualified installer,service agency, or the gas supplier toprevent the possibility of overheatingdue to an accumulation of dust and dirton the windings or on the motorexterior. And, as suggested elsewherein these instructions, the air filtersshould be kept clean because dirtyfilters can restrict airflow and the motordepends upon sufficient air flowingacross and through it to keep fromoverheating.

FILTERSFilter application and placement arecritical to airflow, which may affect theheating and cooling systemperformance. Reduced airflow canshorten the life of the system’s majorcomponents, such as motor, limits,elements, heat exchanger, evaporatorcoil or compressor. Consequently, werecommend that the return air ductsystem have only one filter location.The most common location will beinside the furnace or air handler or afilter base. For systems with a return airfilter grill or multiple filter grills, can havea filter installed at each of the return airopenings. DO NOT DOUBLE FILTERTHE RETURN AIR DUCT SYSTEM.DO NOT FILTER THE SUPPLY AIRDUCT SYSTEM.If high efficiency filters or electronic aircleaners are used in the system, it isimportant that the airflow is not reducedto maximize system performance andlife. Always verify that the system’sairflow is not impaired by the filteringsystem that has been installed, byperforming a temperature rise andtemperature drop test.NOTE: Airflow external static pressuremeasurements do not include filter orcoil.
