supply blower is operating.
10.Verify that the gas controls sequence properly (see
Sequence of Operation below).
11.Check the manifold gas pressure (see Burner
Adjustments on pages 5 and 6).
6. Set the thermostat or discharge temperature
controls to lowest setting.
Sequence of Operation
Power-up/Standby
5a. Two-stage control: The burner will light at 100%
fire and remain there for 10 seconds. The
After power is supplied to the unit:
thermostat will then operate the burners at high or
low fire, depending on the demand for heat.
1. The ignition control will reset and perform a self-
check routine.
5b. Electronic Modulation - The burner will light at
100% fire and remain there for 10 seconds. The
main burner gas valve will then modulate from
100% down to 50% as needed. If the burner
remains on low fire for an extended period of time,
the burner will shut off and re-light as necessary.
2. The diagnostic LED will flash for up to four
seconds.
3. The ignition control will begin scanning the
thermostats.
6. The ignition control constantly monitors the
thermostat, pressure switch, and burner flame to
assure proper operation.
Heat Mode
When the thermostat or discharge temperature
controls call for heat:
7. When the thermostat or discharge temperature
controls are satisfied, the main valve is de-
energized and the combustion blower shuts off
following a 30-second post-purge period.
1. The ignition control will check that the pressure
switch for the combustion blower is open.
2. The combustion blower will be energized and the
15-second pre-purge begins.
3. The gas valve is energized and the igniter will spark
for up to 10 seconds.
Recovery from Lockout
The ignition control will automatically reset after 1 hour
if the thermostat is still calling for heat. Prior to 1 hour,
a manual reset (cycle power to unit) is required. The
thermostat may be reset or the power interrupted for a
period of 5 seconds. See page 7 for Ignition Control
Diagnostics.
Natural Gas - If a flame is not sensed during the
trial for ignition, two additional trials will be
attempted before going into lockout for one hour.
LP Gas - If a flame is not sensed during the trial for
ignition, the control will go into lockout for one
hour.
4. When a flame is sensed, sparking stops
immediately. The gas valve and combustion blower
remain energized.

elevation above sea level. In Canada, from 2000 to 4500 ft in elevation, the unit must be derated to 90% of the input listed
above. The unit shall also be used in accordance with standard CGA 2.17.
Furnace Controls
Staged Temperature Controls
For Energy Recovery Units without Temperature Control Package
The furnace stage controls are located in the furnace control center. One control is
provided for each stage of heating. The discharge temperature setting is located on
the control furthest to the left. The offset and differential settings for each stage are
preset at the factory; however, field-adjustments may be made to get the best control
for your application. See the literature provided with the controls for further
information.
For Energy Recovery Units with Temperature Control Package
If two-stage control is ordered with a Temperature Control Package, the controller in
the unit’s main control center will control the stages of heating. The temperature set
point may be adjusted on the controller (See Temperature Controller IOM).

Troubleshooting
Ignition Control Diagnostic LED
During normal operation, the LED is shut off. The LED
will be on or flashing during a fault condition. If a fault
condition is occurring, turn the unit off and on again. If
the LED is still flashing, refer to the following
troubleshooting section.
LED Indication
Steady on
1 flash
2 flashes
3 flashes
Error Mode
Internal control failure
Air flow fault
Flame with no call for heat
Ignition lockout
Airflow Fault (1 Flash)
An airflow fault may occur for the following reasons:
• An airflow switch continually monitors the combustion airflow during an ignition sequence. During the initial
call for heat, if the pressure switch contacts are in the closed position for 30 seconds without an output to
the combustion blower, an airflow fault will be declared. The control will remain in this mode with the
combustion blower off.
• After the combustion blower output (L1 and IND) is energized and the airflow switch remains open for more
than 30 seconds, an airflow fault will be declared. The control will stay in this mode with the combustion
blower on, waiting for the airflow switch to close.
• If the airflow signal is lost while the burner is firing, the control will immediately de-energize the gas valve
and the combustion blower will remain on. If the call for heat remains, the control will wait for proper airflow
to return. If proper airflow is not detected after 30 seconds, an airflow fault will be declared. If proper airflow
is detected at any time, a normal ignition sequence will begin.
Once proper airflow is detected, the normal Sequence Of Operation for ignition will follow (see page 4).
Flame Fault (2 Flashes)
If the main valve fails to close completely and maintains a flame, the full-time flame sense circuit will detect it and
energize the combustion blower. Should the main valve later close completely and remove the flame signal, the
combustion blower will be de-energized.
Ignition Lockout (3 Flashes)
Possible Cause
Manual gas valve not open
Solution
Open manual valve
Air in the gas line
Bleed gas line
Supply gas pressure too high or too low Check that supply pressure is between 6 in. wg and 14 in. wg for
natural gas and 11 in. wg and 14 in. wg for LP.
Loose wire connections
No spark:
Check for tight wire connections.
a. Transformer failure
a. Check primary and secondary voltages of transformer. Replace
if necessary.
1
b. Spark electrode
b. Ensure spark gap is ⁄8 in. and ceramic insulator is not cracked.
Replace if necessary. Electrode is NOT field-adjustable.
c. Spark cable shorted to ground
d. Ignition controller not grounded
c. Replace spark cable
d. Check that the ignition controller is grounded to the furnace
control center.
High limit control tripped
Check unit airflow and manifold pressure.
Faulty combination gas valve
If 24 volts is measured between terminals MV and common, but
valve remains closed, replace valve.
Faulty ignition control
Check diagnostic LED for steady on and for voltage between V1
and V2. If no voltage is present, replace ignition control.

down the heat exchanger tubes to make sure
they are clear of any debris.
Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning.
Cleaning should be limited to exterior surfaces only.
Removing dust and grease build-up on the motor
housing assures proper motor cooling. Use caution
and do not allow water or solvents to enter the motor
or bearings. Under no circumstances should motors or
bearings be sprayed with steam, water or solvents.
The motor bearings are pre-lubricated and sealed,
requiring no further lubrication.
• Reinstall manifold and burner assembly,
reconnect wire leads, and gas supply piping.
• Turn on the electrical power and gas supply.
• Follow the start-up procedure to light the
burners and verify proper operation.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger should be checked annually for
cracks and discoloration of the tubes. If a crack is
detected, the heat exchanger should be replaced
before the unit is put back into operation. If the tubes
are dark gray, airflow across the heat exchanger
should be checked to make sure the blower is
operating properly.
Burners and Orifices
Before each heating season, examine the burners and
gas orifices to make sure they are clear of any debris
such as spider webs, etc. Clean burner as follows:
• Turn off both electrical and gas supplies to the
unit.
• Disconnect union between manifold and gas
valve.
Flue Collector Box
The flue passageway and flue collector box should be
inspected prior to each heating season and cleared of
any debris.
• Remove manifold and burner assembly.
• Inspect and clean orifices and burners as
necessary. Avoid using any hard or sharp
instruments which could cause damage to the
orifices or burners.
Electrical Wiring
The electrical wiring should be checked annually for
loose connections or wiring deterioration.
- Remove any soot deposits from the burner
with a wire brush.
Replacement Parts
- Clean the ports with an aerosol degreaser
or compressed air.
- Wipe the inside of the burner clean.
Cleaning the burner with a degreaser will
slow the future buildup of dirt.
