The following safety information should be read, understood, and followed by the  
installer.  
1. Use only with type of gas approved for this furnace. Refer to furnace rating plate.  
2. Do not install this furnace where it could be exposed to drafts or other wind or  
moisture conditions. Refer to Section IV of this manual.  
3. Provide adequate ventilation air to the furnace space. Refer to Section IV, C and D,  
of this manual.  
4. Connect this furnace to an approved vent system only. Combustion products must  
be carried outdoors. Refer to Section IV, F thru J, of this manual.  
5. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Leak test methods must comply with  
State, Local and National codes including the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI-  
Z233.1 (Latest Edition).  
6. Always install furnace with a duct system that has an external static pressure within  
the allowable range referenced in specifications.  
7. Make sure supply air ducts are completely sealed to the furnace casing. Refer to  
Section IV.  
The following pages contain various warnings and cautions found throughout the  
Thermo Pride Gas Fired High Efficiency Furnace Manual. Please read and comply  
with the statements below.  
: This furnace is not to be used for temporary heating of buildings or  
structures under construction.  
: These high efficiency condensing furnaces are not certified for and  
shall not be vented into a standard or any type of chimney.  
: Negative pressure inside the closet with closet door closed and the  
furnace blower operating on high speed shall be no more negative than minus  
0.05 inch water column.  
: Do not obstruct any return air openings, including the return grille on  
the furnace. To do so may cause the furnace to activate the high limit and shut  
down.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.  
: The vent and air intake elbows must be kept away from bushes,  
shrubs or any vegetation that may restrict the flow of flue products. It must also  
be kept clear of any leaves, weeds or other combustible materials. Keep the vent  
hood clear of snow. Avoid locating the terminals in areas where standing water or  
condensate drippage may be a problem.  
: This CMA/CMC furnace has been designed to be installed as a direct  
vent system and must have its combustion air brought in from outside the  
conditioned space. The failure to install the vent/air intake system as specified in  
these instructions will void the heat exchanger warranty and may result in  
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.  
: Outside combustion air must not come from an area that is directly  
adjacent to a pool, hot tub or spa. Measures should be taken to prevent the entry  
of corrosive chemicals or vapors to the combustion and ventilation air supply.  
Such chemicals include but are not limited to chlorinated and/or fluorinated  
hydrocarbons such as found in refrigerants, aerosol propellants, dry cleaning  
fluids, degreasers and removers. Other harmful compounds may come from  
bleaches, air fresheners or mastics. Vapors from such products can form acid  
compounds when burned in a gas flame. Should acid compounds form in your  
furnace, it may reduce the life of the furnace.  
: Because of the potential of odorant fade, a gas leak may not be  
detected by smell. If this furnace is installed below grade, contact your gas  
supplier for a gas detector.  
: All gas piping must be leak tested methods approved by State, Local  
and National Codes including the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI-Z233.1  
(Latest Edition). A final test for gas leakage must be made after purging the gas  
line. This test must be conducted with the unit operating and should include the  
furnace piping and gas valve. Never use an open flame to check for a gas leak.  
: Care must be taken not to wet electronic components during leak test.  
Wetting the primary ignition module may damage its circuitry and cause a  
hazardous situation. Dry moisture from all leads and terminals if wetting occurs.  
Wait at least 24 hours for the circuit to fully dry before energizing the burner  
circuit.  
: The furnace and its individual gas shutoff valve must be disconnected  
from the gas supply during pressure testing of the gas supply system at  
pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG or 14.0" w.c. The furnace must be isolated from  
the gas supply by closing its manual shut off valve at test pressures equal to or  
greater than 1/2 PSIG or 14.0" w.c.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.  
: Copper and brass tubing and fittings (except tin lined) shall not be  
used if the gas contains more than a trace (0.3 grains per 100 cubic ft.) of  
hydrogen sulfide gas. Check with your gas supplier.  
: TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER to the furnace before attempting  
to change blower speed wiring.  
: Turn off power to furnace before it is placed into service. The gas  
piping system must have been leak tested by a qualified heating contractor in  
accordance with State, Local and National Codes including the National Fuel Gas  
Code NFPA 54/ANSI-Z233.1 (Latest Edition).  
: It may be necessary to purge the air out of the gas line for initial start-  
up of the furnace after installation. This should be done by a qualified heating  
contractor. If excessive gas escapes when purging the gas supply at the union,  
allow the area to ventilate for at least 15 minutes before attempting to start the  
furnace. LP gas is especially dangerous because the specific gravity of LP gas  
allows it to accumulate at floor level at a dangerous concentration.  
: Heat exchanger oil will burn off on initial firing creating an unpleasant  
odor. To prevent this odor from occurring more than once, it is suggested that:  
1. A window(s) be opened.  
2. The thermostat set at highest setting.  
3. The furnace remain running at conditions 1&2 above for 15 minutes or until  
odor has dissipated.  
: The CMA/CMC furnace models are of direct vent design and do not  
require an air shutter adjustment (air shutters are not used) for proper flame  
characteristics. Burner box access cover must always be secured with all screws  
in place and tightened before operating furnace.  
: Personal injury or property damage could result from repair or service  
of this furnace by anyone other than a qualified heating contractor.  
: Label wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring  
errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.  
: The inducer motor mounting plate gasket and the collector box gasket  
must be replaced if they show any sign of having been damaged.  
: Power must be disconnected before servicing.

III. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND CLEARANCES – READ BEFORE START OF  
INSTALLATION  
1. The BTU output capacity of the furnace proposed for installation should be based  
on a heat loss calculation made according to the manuals provided by the Air  
Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) or the American Society of Heating,  
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE).  
2. This furnace is equipped with orifices sized for operation with natural gas. For  
conversion to Propane Gas see instruction MG-815 in Gas Conversion Kit  
AOPS7743.  
3. These Category Type IV furnaces are shipped completely assembled and wired  
(internally). See the Dealer Receiving and Freight Claim Procedure Section of the  
price guide for parts shortage or damage. The furnace and duct system must be  
adjusted to obtain a temperature rise of 40°F to 70°F through the furnace after  
installation. For the Energy Star Eco Tech models the temperature rises are 40°F to  
70°F for the 50 series and 50°F to 80°F for the 75 series. (See rating label located  
on separator panel inside the furnace vestibule). The installation must conform with  
local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Codes  
(ANSI Z223.1 or latest edition) and with these instructions.  
: This furnace is not to be used for temporary heating of buildings or  
structures under construction.  
Many of the chemicals used during construction, when burned, form acid bearing  
condensate that can substantially reduce the life of the heat exchanger.  
4. It is recommended that a commercially available CO alarm be installed in  
conjunction with any fossil fuel burning appliance. The CO alarm shall be installed  
according to the alarm manufacturer’s installation instructions and be listed in  
accordance with the latest edition of the UL Standard for Single and Multiple Station  
Carbon Monoxide Alarms, UL 2034, or the CSA International Standard, Residential  
Carbon Monoxide Alarming Devises, CSA 6.19.  
5. The installer shall be familiar with and comply with all codes and regulations  
applicable to the installation of these heating appliances and related equipment. In  
lieu of local codes, the installation shall be in accordance with the current provisions  
of one or more of the following standards.  
a. Federal Manufactured Home Constructions & Safety Standard (H.U.D. Total  
24, Part 280.)  
b. American National Standard (ANSI-119.2/NFPA-501C) for all recreational  
vehicle installations.

connector duct. Remove the bottom panel. Cut an opening in the distribution duct  
slightly larger than the connector duct. (refer to Figure 2 for location of this cut.)  
Cut the connector duct to length. Install the connector duct. Bend over each tab.  
Insure an airtight seal by using high temperature sealant or tape on the joint.  
Reinstall the bottom panel over the connector duct. Put the base top assembly in  
place (see Figure-3).  
Slit the corners of connector duct down to the top of the base assembly. If metal  
projects more than 1-inch above the top of the base assembly, trim the flanges  
down to 1-inch. While the top of distribution duct is being pulled up with one  
hand, bend down each side of the connector duct tightly to the base assembly  
with the other hand. This assures a tight connection between the base assembly  
and the connector duct and that the distribution duct will be full size. Use high  
temperature tape and/or high temperature silicone caulking on all joints and  
seams to minimize air leakage. Secure the base assembly to the floor with two  
screws in the front flange.  
2. Cottage Base Model: 01COT BASE (for CMA3 models only)  
The 01COT BASE cottage base (Figure 1C) is required for a freestanding  
cottage base installation. The cottage base allows the two sides and rear to have  
an 8” x 12” register installed. IMPORTANT: All joints and seams of supply  
ducts must be sealed with a sealing method suitable to the application  
conditions and temperatures (I.E. High temperature silicone and/or  
aluminum tape). Refer to assembly and installation instructions included with  
cottage base for additional information.  
The model CMC does not require a base for installation. The integrated coil  
cabinet serves as a base. The duct connection will be made to the bottom of the  
furnace. A sheet metal cover plate may be installed to protect any exposed  
combustible flooring.

Local regulations. Including the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI-Z233.1  
(Latest Edition).  
NOTE: These furnaces are designed to be gas piped through the left side or the  
bottom. For service purposes, it is recommended that the gas union be located  
inside the furnace when possible.  
: Because of the potential of odorant fade, a gas leak may not be  
detected by smell. If this furnace is installed below grade, contact your gas  
supplier for a gas detector.  
A qualified installer or service person must perform all gas piping and testing.  
Piping from the natural gas meter to the furnace shall be in accordance with  
requirements of the local gas utility. Piping from the LP tank to the furnace must  
follow the recommendations of the gas supplier.  
A readily accessible manual shut off valve (certified for the applicable gas) with a  
non-displaceable rotor member shall be installed within six feet of the gas  
equipment it serves.  
A union or flanged connection shall be provided directly up stream of the burner  
to allow burner removal. Unions must be of a ground joint type or flange-jointed  
type using a gasket resistant to the applicable gas. Pipe dope or sealant certified  
to be resistant to the action of the applicable gases should be used on all  
threaded joints.  
A drip leg must be used on both LP and Natural gas installations prior to the  
furnace in order to trap oil, condensate and other impurities which might  
otherwise lodge in the gas valve or plug the burner orifice.  
A drip leg shall be provided at the outlet of the gas meter when there is excessive  
condensation between the gas meter and the furnace. Failure to install a drip leg  
may void the limited warranty on the furnace.  
: All gas pipe connections must be leak tested using methods  
approved by State, Local and National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI-Z233.1  
(Latest Edition). Any leaks must be repaired immediately after turning off  
the gas supply. A final test for gas leakage must be made after purging the  
gas line.

in excess of 1/2 PSIG or 14 inches w.c  
F. GENERAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS  
The CMA/CMC furnace venting system must be installed by a qualified service  
person in accordance with local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA  
54/ANSI-Z223.1 (Latest Edition) and these instructions.  
The following items and local code requirements must be followed:  
1. The vent/air intake terminations outlined by Thermo Products in this  
manual must be used.  
2. The entire vent/air intake system must be made of PVC Schedule 40 pipe  
except for the concentric vent kit. NOTE: All CMA/CMC furnaces must be  
installed with outside combustion air.  
3. The flue vent pipe and combustion air pipe must be at least as large as the  
exhaust vent/air intake pipe specified by Thermo Products. No reduction in  
size is permissible. The CMA/CMC requires 2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe.  
4. This furnace shall not be common vented with any other appliance  
including those burning solid fuels.  
5. The maximum permissible vent length of straight pipe and number of  
elbows permitted for the exhaust vent and combustion air inlet is shown in  
Table 2. The elbows shown are in addition to the length of straight pipe  
permitted. When counting elbows, all elbows used in the exhaust vent or  
combustion air intake must be counted. This includes elbows used inside the  
furnace jacket and termination elbows.  
Care should be taken to plan out the vent system to be as short as possible  
(but not shorter than 8 ft.) and to contain as few elbows as possible to insure  
the best possible operation of the furnace.

6. A hack saw may be used to cut the PVC pipe. It must be cut smoothly at  
right angles with all burrs removed. All joints must use standard PVC  
Schedule 40 elbows and couplings. Joints are not to be made by gluing,  
except where noted, and butting together the cut or raw edges of the vent  
pipe. (The joints inside the vestibule should be sealed with a silicone caulk to  
allow for maintenance.) Notice: Do not use silicone caulk to seal the PVC  
sleeve or coupling to the metal air intake collar on the burner box. The  
screw securing the sleeve or coupling to the collar is sufficient.  
7. Use the two radiator hose clamps to connect both the exhaust vent and  
combustion air vent pipes to the venting system (included in the parts  
package.) This will aid in the serviceability of the vent should it need to be  
removed in the future. (Refer to figure 6).  
8. Vent connections shall be checked for leakage with the furnace induced  
draft blower running and with the vent termination blocked. A mild soap and  
water solution may be used to check for leaks.  
9. Vent pipe passing through an unheated space must be insulated with 1.0”  
thick foil faced fiberglass insulation or its equivalent to prevent freezing of any  
condensate within the pipe.  
10. Minimum clearance from the PVC pipe to combustible material is zero  
inches.  
IMPORTANT: The CMA/CMC furnace models are vented through the roof.  
For roof venting refer to Section IV, J, of this manual.

G. CONNECTING THE EXHAUST VENT AND COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE  
Figure 6. shows the typical exhaust vent and combustion air intake connection  
for CMA/CMC furnace.  
Figure 6.  
Models CMA and CMC have a removable top front panel that will allow for  
improved access to assist installation of the exhaust vent and combustion air  
intake connection to the top of the furnace. Access is gained by removal of two  
screws in the upper right and left of the furnace. The top front access panel is  
then removed by pulling forward. Once the vent connections are made, the top  
front access panel is replace. Be sure the access panel fits the around the two  
grommets that secure the vent pipes and the rear tab locks below the top rear  
panel. For Energy Star models, adhesive backed aluminum tape has been  
provided to seal the access panel to the furnace top to make an air tight seal at

the conclusion of the vent pipe installation. This will insure a leak free return air  
compartment. Refer to Figure 6A.  
Figure 6A.  
NOTICE: The exhaust vent pipe must be supported every 4 feet. After making  
sure the length of the piping is correct glue all connections in place.  
: This CMA/CMC furnace has been designed to be installed as a  
direct vent system and must have its combustion air brought in from  
outside the conditioned space. The failure to install the vent/air intake  
system as specified in these instructions will void the heat exchanger  
warranty and may result in property damage, personal injury or loss of life.  
NOTICE: The furnace model series CMA/CMC may be vented either  
through the sidewall or the roof. For sidewall instructions, continue to the  
following section. For roof venting, refer to Section IV J, of this manual.  
NOTICE: The air intake pipe must be supported every 4 feet. After making sure  
the length of the piping is correct, glue all connections in place except the  
connection to the burner box.  
If the combustion air piping is installed in a warm humid place, such as a laundry  
room or above a suspended ceiling, it must be insulated with a 1.0” foil faced  
insulation or its equivalent.  
If the vent piping is run through an unconditioned space, it must be insulated with  
a 1.0” foil faced insulation or its equivalent.  
: Outside combustion air must not come from an area that is  
directly adjacent to a pool, hot tub or spa. Measures should be taken to  
prevent the entry of corrosive chemicals or vapors to the combustion and  
ventilation air supply. Such chemicals include but are not limited to  
chlorinated and/or fluorinated hydrocarbons such as found in refrigerants,  
aerosol propellants, dry cleaning fluids, degreasers and removers. Other  
harmful compounds may come from bleaches, air fresheners or mastics.  
Vapors from such products can form acid compounds when burned in a

gas flame. Should acid compounds form in your furnace, it may reduce the  
life of the furnace.  
H. Direct Venting Through a Sidewall  
1. Vent And Combustion Air Pipes  
Vent and combustion air pipes may pass through a maximum wall thickness  
of 18 inches. The minimum wall thickness is 2 inches. Referring to Figure  
7, the maximum distance from the outer wall to the center of the elbow is 12  
inches.  
Figure 7: Proper Direct Vent Terminations (RH & LH views) and Vent  
Termination Only w/o Outside Combustion Air Intake (RH view)  
NOTICE: If exterior sidewall building materials are subject to degradation  
from contact with flue gases or moisture, a minimum 24-inch diameter shield  
shall be fabricated from stainless steel or UV-resistant plastic sheet. The  
protective shield shall be installed around the vent pipe on the outside wall.  
2. Exhaust Vent Termination Elbow  
The exhaust vent termination elbow shall be installed in accordance with  
these instructions and any applicable local codes. Refer to Figures 7 and 8 for  
typical examples of proper terminations.  
a. The exhaust vent termination must be installed in the same  
atmospheric pressure zone (i.e. on the same wall) as the air intake  
termination.  
24  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.  
b. The bottom edge of the vent termination elbow must be installed at  
least 12-inches above the outlet of intake termination elbow.  
c. The horizontal distance between the inlet and exhaust terminations  
should be minimized, when possible, and should never exceed 24-  
inches.  
d. The vent and intake systems should utilize the same numbers of  
elbows and approximately the same length of straight pipe to reach the  
outside termination.  
Figure 8: Typical Relative Locations of Direct Vent Terminations When  
Sidewall Venting  
3. Exhaust Vent Terminal Location Clearance Requirements  
a. The vent terminal shall be located at least 3-feet above any forced air  
inlet located within 10-feet. Refer to Figure 9 for a depiction of the  
minimum required clearances between vent terminations and building  
features according to the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC).  
b. The vent terminal shall be at least 12-inches below, 12-inches  
horizontally from, or 12-inches above, any door, window, or gravity air  
inlet into a building. The bottom of the vent terminal shall be located at  
least 12-inches above grade.  
c. The vent terminal shall not be located:  
over public walkways or over an area where wetting of surfaces by  
condensate, or water vapor, could create a nuisance or hazard,  
near soffit vents, crawl space vents, or other areas where  
condensate or water vapor could create a nuisance, hazard, or  
cause property damage, and

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.  
4. Vent Terminal Location Guidelines  
: Bushes, shrubs, or any vegetation that may restrict the flow of  
flue products must be kept away from vent and air intake terminations.  
Terminations must also be kept clear of any leaves, weeds, combustible  
materials, snow, and ice build-up. Avoid locating the vent terminal over  
areas where dripping of condensate, or small pools of acidic condensate,  
could create a problem.  
In addition to following any local code requirements, when possible, utilize the  
guidelines below in locating the vent terminal to help insure trouble-free operation  
of a sidewall vented furnace:  
Avoid locating the vent terminal on a wall facing prevailing winds and wide-  
open areas. When impractical, choose a location that protects the vent from  
strong winds, such as behind a fence or hedge.  
In geographical areas with considerable snowfall, it is advisable to locate the  
vent terminal much higher than the minimum 12-inches above ground to  
prevent blockage by snow accumulation or drifting.  
The vent and combustion air terminations shall be checked periodically, at  
least at the start of each heating season, for restriction or blockage from  
foreign material in the exhaust vent or in the air intake piping. Clean the air  
intake and vent terminations when necessary.  
I. Installation Of Outside Exhaust / Intake Terminations  
1. After determining appropriate installation locations (suitable locations must  
observe all clearances specified in this manual), mark and cut two (2), 2-3/8 inch  
diameter holes in the outside wall for the outdoor terminal(s)  
2. Measure and cut two (2), 2-inch diameter thermoplastic pipes 1-1/2 inches  
longer than the depth of the wall. (Cutting the pipe longer leaves a ¾ inch  
connection allowance at both ends of the pipe.) Using PVC pipe cement, glue a  
PVC elbow or coupling fitting to one (1) end of each pipe.  
Before inserting the pipe through the wall, mark the other end of the pipe so the  
elbow orientation can be determined. Also, if a protective shield (refer to Section  
H., passage 1. of this manual) will be used on the exterior surface of the wall, it  
should be installed at this time. From the inside, glue a coupling fitting to each  
pipe, using PVC pipe cement, while being careful to maintain the proper  
orientation of the termination elbow(s). Complete the assembly of the outlet and  
inlet as shown in Figure 10, making sure that the spacing between the inlet and  
outlet complies with that noted in Figure 8.

: TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER to the furnace  
before attempting to change blower speed wiring.  
The furnace is factory wired to the ignition control with standard heating  
and cooling speeds. When changing motor speeds, simply switch the  
needed speed to either the heating or cooling terminal as applicable on  
the module to obtain the desired CFM. The unused speeds should then be  
reconnected to the module in the “park” positions. (Refer to figure 15)  
Refer to section II for blower speed and air flow performance for A/C  
installation.  
5. FIELD WIRING AND REPLACING WIRING  
Field wiring between the furnace and devices not attached to the furnace shall  
conform with the temperature limitation for Type T 35 C wire. If any of the original  
factory supplied furnace wiring is replaced or a separate device other than the

B. INITIAL START UP:  
This furnace does not have a pilot. It is equipped with a hot surface igniter which  
automatically lights the burner. Do not attempt to light the burner by hand. Check  
the following items before the initial start-up.  
1. Check all wiring for loose connections and proper hook up.  
2. Leak test gas piping connections.  
3. Check all tubing to the pressure switch and drains to make sure they are  
connected firmly at all their connection points.  
4. Check flue pipe, combustion air inlet and all pvc connections for tightness and  
to make sure there is no blockage.  
5. Make sure air filter is in place.  
6. Make sure the outside vent and air intakes are installed according to  
instructions and that they are free from blockage.  
7. Make sure that the drain trap is properly connected to the furnace and to the  
drain system.  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:  
: Turn off power to furnace before it is placed into service. The  
gas piping system must have been leak tested by a qualified heating  
contractor in accordance with State, Local and National Codes including  
the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI-Z233.1 (Latest Edition).  
: It may be necessary to purge the air out of the gas line for initial  
start-up of the furnace after installation. This should be done by a qualified  
heating contractor. If excessive gas escapes when purging the gas supply  
at the union, allow the area to ventilate for at least 15 minutes before  
attempting to start the furnace. LP gas is especially dangerous because the  
specific gravity of LP gas allows it to accumulate at floor level at a  
dangerous concentration.  
: Heat exchanger oil will burn off on initial firing creating an  
unpleasant odor. To prevent this odor from occurring more than once, it is  
suggested that:  
1. A window(s) be opened.  
2. The thermostat set at highest setting.  
3. The furnace remain running as noted above for 15 minutes or until odor  
has dissipated.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.  
C. ADJUSTMENT OF BTU INPUT RATE:  
The orifice for this furnace was sized: 1) for natural gas having a heating value of  
1025 BTU per cubic foot and a specific gravity of .65, or 2) for liquefied propane  
gas with a heating value of 2500 BTU per cubic foot and a specific gravity of  
1.55. The information plate inside the furnace vestibule will specify which gas  
your furnace is orificed for. If the furnace is installed at an altitude that is more  
than 2,000 feet above sea level, it is mandatory that the input to the burner be  
reduced 4.0% for every 1,000 feet that it is above sea level. If the furnace is  
installed at an elevation of 5,000 feet, its input must be reduced 20.0%. Example:  
a furnace rated at 75,000 BTU at sea level must be reduced to a firing rate of  
60,000 (75,000 x .80 = 60,000) at an elevation of 5,000 feet. If the furnace is  
installed at an elevation of 2,000 feet or less, no reduction in input is required.  
Your gas supplier or Thermo Products will supply you with the correct orifice  
sizing information.  
To check the input of your natural gas furnace, allow the unit to operate for 10 to  
15 minutes and proceed as follows:  
1. Call your gas supplier and ask for the BTU content (heating value) of one  
cubic foot of the gas, supplied to the installation area. An alternate  
approach is to assume a value of 1025 BTU/Cu Ft which is the national  
average.  
2. With all other gas appliances turned off and using a stopwatch, clock the  
time required for the (small) dial on the gas meter to make one full  
revolution. The meter dial will state the cubic feet of flow for one  
revolution usually one, two or five.  
FORMULA: BTU/Cu Ft x Number of Cu Ft x 3600 Seconds = Input BTU/hr  
Seconds for one revolution  
EXAMPLE: 1025 BTU/Cu Ft x 2 Cu Ft x 3600 = 73,505 BTU Input  
100.40 Seconds  
Check the model number of the furnace, the input rate, the type of gas,  
and the manifold pressure on the rating label located in the burner  
vestibule. If using the above example, the furnace is a CMA2-75N model  
and the input rate is 73,505 BTU/hr. The input rate would be acceptable  
because it was within + 2% of the listed input of 75,000.  
3. Make sure that the gas supply pressure to the furnace is within the  
allowable range of 5.5" to 14" WC pressure on natural gas and 11.0" to  
14.0" WC on propane gas. The pressure to the furnace must be checked  
while the furnace burner and any other gas appliances on the same  
supply system are operating, using the 1/8 in. NPT manifold pressure tap.

TABLE 3  
This gas furnace is equipped with a fixed orifice sized for the manifold  
pressure shown on the rating label. The input can only be increased, or  
decreased, by adjusting the manifold pressure. Remove the 1/8" threaded  
pipe plug located on the gas manifold.  
Use a U tube manometer or recently calibrated pressure gage to measure  
the pressure. To adjust the pressure, remove the screw cap from the  
regulator on the gas valve and using the adjustment screw. Decrease the  
pressure by turning the screw counterclockwise or increase it by turning  
the screw clockwise.  
: ADJUSTMENTS TO THE LISTED PRESSURE MUST NOT  
EXCEED 0.3" WC. A 0.3" WC adjustment will increase or decrease the  
input approximately 4.0%.  
Replace screw (cap) when adjustment is complete.  
The correct input can be assumed if the furnace manifold pressure is the  
same as that shown on the rating label if a gas meter is not available for  
natural gas or the unit is installed on an unmetered propane gas supply.  
Shut off the gas supply to the furnace. Remove the pressure gage and re-  
install the pipe plug using a thread compound resistant to the action of LP  
gases.  
If the rated input cannot be obtained with the present orifice at the correct  
pressure, your local gas supplier may assist in sizing the proper orifice.  
Thermo Products Engineering Department will gladly assist in sizing the  
orifice if you provide them with the heating value in BTU per cubic foot and  
the specific gravity of the fuel gas.  
D. BURNER ADJUSTMENT  
This unit is designed to not require any burner adjustment. The flames should be  
checked by looking through the sight glass located on the burner box. Burner  
flames should be clear, blue and almost transparent in color. (see Figure 16).  
NOTE: It is not unusual to have orangish flames visible in the tube for LP gas.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.  
Figure 16.  
: The CMA/CMC furnace models are direct vent design and do  
not require an air shutter adjustment (air shutters are not used) for proper  
flame characteristics. Burner box access cover must always be secured  
with all screws in place and tightened before operating furnace.  
E. SETTING TEMPERATURE RISE  
All CMA/CMC Models are designed and wired at the factory for a heating blower  
speed that should result in an approximate temperature rise of 60°F. The blower  
motors are wired on med-low speed for heating mode. The temperature rise  
through the furnace may vary depending on the duct system, elevation, heating  
value, etc. for each installation. A lower temperature rise will result in a higher  
efficiency. Temperature rise = supply air temperature - return air temperature.  
After 10 to 15 minutes of continuous operation, the temperature rise through the  
furnace must fall within a range of 40°F to 70°F. If the outlet or supply duct  
temperature is too high, you should check to make sure that your return air filter  
is clean, your return air openings are free from obstruction, your outlet registers  
are properly adjusted and clear and your supply and return air ducts are open.  
The circulating air blower is not moving enough air if the supply air temperature is  
still too high. Before proceeding further, turn off the power supply to the furnace  
and remove the front door of the unit.  
The speed of the blower must be increased by changing the speed tap from the  
motor (see figure 15). This is accomplished by locating the control panel attached  
to the blower housing and switching blower lead connected to the “Heat” terminal  
on the White-Rodgers 50A65-143 control, with one of the higher speed blower  
leads attached to a terminal marked “Park”. Be sure to attach any unused blower  
leads to a terminal marked “Park”. Replace the blower door and turn on the  
power supply.

VIII. TROUBLESHOOTING  
NOTICE: BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING, FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE  
START UP AND CHECKOUT PROCEDURE.  
ALL INSTALLATION AND SERVICES MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED  
HEATING CONTRACTORS.  
To assist you in troubleshooting this furnace, it is equipped with an integrated  
ignition control with diagnostics. These diagnostics evaluate what control system has  
experienced a failure and will activate a flashing light on the control in different  
sequences to help pinpoint the failure which has occurred.  
Note – check diagnostic code through view port prior to removing access door.  
DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES  
The 50A65 control used on this furnace continuously monitors its operation and the  
operation of the system. If a failure occurs, the LED light on the control will flash a  
code. If the failure is internal to the control, the light will stay on continuously.  
In this case, the entire control should be replaced, as the control is not field-  
repairable.  
If the sensed failure is in the system (external to the control), the LED will flash in the  
following flash-pause sequences to indicate failure status (each flash will last  
approximately 0.25 seconds, and each pause will last approximately 2 seconds).
