Wiring  
WARNING  
Do not install the damper blade plug if the vent damper is  
installed on a system with a continuous or standing pilot. The  
hole provides the minimum vent area required by code for  
safe operation.  
Severe illness or death possible. Prevent  
explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.  
1. Use dual automatic valve combination gas  
controls or two separate single function main gas  
valves with the D896.  
2. Do not use the D896 with an L8148 or L8124 with  
a manual/automatic switch because the switch  
can override the safety interlocks in the system  
wiring and cause carbon monoxide buildup.  
Use the damper blade plug when the damper is installed on a  
system with either an intermittent pilot or direct ignition. The  
plug will increase system efficiency. See Fig. 4.  
To install the D896:  
1. Push the female end of the vent damper over the  
section of vent pipe coming from the furnace or boiler,  
but after the draft hood. Push the section of the vent  
pipe coming from the chimney over the male end of the  
vent damper.  
2. Secure the vent damper to the vent pipe with 1/2 in. (12  
mm) sheet metal screws. Use only the holes provided.  
3. Visually inspect the venting system for proper pitch.  
Pitch must comply with local codes or ANSI Z223.1—  
NFPA54.  
CAUTION  
1. Remove the shorting plug on the S8600, S8610  
or L8148E before attaching the wiring harness.  
2. Do not permit device wiring to contact high  
temperature surfaces.  
3. Label all wires prior to disconnecting when  
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause  
explosion or carbon monoxide buildup.  
Important  
To install an additional gas valve:  
Do not operate the system with the D896 unplugged.  
Once the system has operated with the D896  
plugged into the S8600, S8610 or L8148E, the  
control module will not operate.  
1. Shut off the gas and electricity to the gas burner. (Use  
the manual shutoff valve in the supply line to the  
appliance.)  
2. Locate a position in the supply line between the  
appliance automatic gas valve and the burner.  
3. At the determined position, install an approved  
appropriately-sized, single-function automatic gas valve  
downstream from the existing automatic gas valve.  
Follow the valve manufacturer instructions for flow  
direction and position.  
D896 to L8148E, S8600F,H,M; S8610F,H

D896 AUTOMATIC VENT DAMPER  
ANSI STANDARDS  
EXHIBIT A  
Procedure For Safety Inspection of an Existing Appliance Installation  
The following procedure is intended as a guide to aid in  
determining that an appliance is properly installed and is in a  
safe condition for continuing use.  
10. Determine that the pilot(s), when provided, is burning  
properly and that main burner ignition is satisfactory by  
interrupting and reestablishing the electrical supply to  
the appliance in any convenient manner.  
This procedure is predicated on central furnace, boiler and  
water heater installations, and it should be recognized that  
generalized procedures cannot anticipate all situations.  
Accordingly, in some cases deviation from this procedure may  
be necessary to determine safe operation of the equipment:  
a. This procedure shall be performed prior to installation  
of the automatic vent damper device.  
If the appliance is equipped with a continuous pilot(s), test the  
pilot safety device(s) to determine if it is operating properly by  
extinguishing the pilot(s) when the main burner(s) is off and  
determining, after 3 minutes, that the main burner gas does  
not flow upon a call for heat.  
b. If it is determined there is a condition which could result  
in unsafe operation, the appliance should be shut off  
and the owner advised of the unsafe condition. Do not  
install the automatic vent damper device until the  
unsafe condition has been corrected.  
If the appliance is not provided with a pilot(s), test for proper  
operation of the ignition system in accordance with the  
appliance manufacturer’s lighting and operating instructions.  
11. (a) Visually determine that main burner gas is burning  
properly; i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback. Adjust  
the primary air shutter(s) as required.  
(b) If the appliance is equipped with high and low  
flame controlling or flame modulation, check for  
proper main burner operation at low flame.  
12. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5  
minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a  
match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or  
pipe.  
13. Turn on all other fuel-burning appliances within the  
same room so they will operate at their full inputs.  
Follow lighting instructions for each appliance.  
14. Repeat Steps 11 and 12 on the appliance being  
inspected.  
15. Return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace  
dampers and any other fuel-gas burning appliances to  
their previous conditions of use.  
The following steps are to be followed in making the safety  
inspection:  
1. Conduct a gas leakage test of the appliance piping and  
control system downstream of the shutoff valve in the  
supply line to the appliance.  
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size,  
horizontal pitch and vent termination, and determine  
there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion  
and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe  
condition.  
3. Determine that the chimney or vent is acceptable to the  
authority having jurisdiction.  
4. Shut off all gas to the appliance and shut off any other  
fuel-gas burning appliance within the same room. Use  
the shutoff valve in the supply line to each appliance.  
5. Inspect burners and crossovers for blockage and  
corrosion.  
16. Applicable only to furnaces—Check both the limit  
control and the fan control for proper operation. Limit  
control operation can be checked by blocking the  
circulating air inlet or temporarily disconnecting the  
electrical supply to the blower motor and determining  
that the limit control acts to shut off the main burner  
gas.  
6. Applicable only to furnaces—inspect heat exchanger for  
cracks, openings or excessive corrosion.  
7. Applicable only to boilers—inspect for evidence of water  
or combustion product leaks.  
8. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and  
windows and all doors between the space in which the  
appliance is located and other spaces of the building.  
Turn on clothes dryers. Turn on any exhaust fans, such  
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will  
operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer  
exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers. If, after  
completing Steps 9 through 14, it is believed sufficient  
combustion air is not available, refer to local codes, or  
in the absence of local codes, to the National Fuel Gas  
Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988 (NFPA 54), for guidance.  
9. Place in operation the appliance being inspected.  
Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so  
appliance will operate continuously.  
17. Applicable only to boilers—  
(a) Determine that the water pumps are in operating  
condition.  
(b) Test low water cutoffs, automatic feed controls,  
pressure and temperature limit controls, and relief  
valves in accordance with the manufacturer’s  
recommendations to determine they are in  
operating condition.

D896 AUTOMATIC VENT DAMPER  
EXHIBIT B  
Procedure for Installing Electrically Operated Automatic Vent Damper Devices on Existing Appliances  
This procedure is intended as a guide to aid in safely  
installing an electrically operated or mechanically actuated  
automatic vent damper device on an existing appliance.  
10. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and  
windows and all doors between the space in which the  
appliance is located and other spaces of the building.  
Turn on clothes dryers. Turn on any exhaust fans, such  
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will  
operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer  
exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.  
This procedure is based on the assumption that the history of  
the specific appliance has been one of safe and satisfactory  
operation.  
11. Place appliance in operation. Follow the lighting  
instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate  
continuously.  
12. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5  
minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a  
match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or  
pipe.  
13. (a) Visually determine that main burner gas is burning  
properly; i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback. Adjust  
the primary air shutter(s) as required.  
This procedure is predicated on central furnace, boiler and  
water heater installations, and it should be recognized that  
generalized procedures cannot anticipate all situations.  
Accordingly, in some cases deviation from this procedure may  
be necessary to determine safe operation of the equipment.  
The following steps are to be followed in making the  
modifications:  
1. Perform a safety inspection of the existing appliance  
installation. See Exhibit A for the recommended  
procedure for such a safety inspection.  
2. Shut off all gas and electricity to the appliance. To shut  
off gas use the shutoff valve in the supply line to the  
appliance.  
3. Install the automatic vent damper device in strict  
accordance with the manufacturer’s installation  
instructions. Make certain the device is not located in  
that portion of the venting system which serves any  
appliance other than the one for which the damper is  
installed.  
(b) If the appliance is equipped with high and low  
flame controlling or flame modulation, check for  
proper main burner operation at low flame.  
14. Determine that the pilot(s), when provided, is burning  
properly and that main burner ignition is satisfactory by  
interrupting and reestablishing the electrical supply to  
the appliance in any convenient manner.  
If the appliance is equipped with a continuous pilot(s), test the  
pilot safety device(s) to determine if it is operating properly by  
extinguishing the pilot(s) when the main burner(s) is off and  
determining, after 3 minutes, that the main burner gas does  
not flow upon a call for heat.  
4. Make certain wiring connections are tight and wires are  
positioned and secured so they will not be able to  
contact high temperature locations.  
5. When an additional automatic valve has been  
incorporated or an existing gas control replaced,  
conduct a gas leakage test of the appliance piping and  
control system downstream of the shutoff valve in the  
supply line to the appliance.  
If the appliance is not provided with a pilot(s), test for proper  
operation of the ignition system in accordance with the  
appliance manufacturer’s lighting and operating instructions.  
15. Applicable only to furnaces—Check both the limit  
control and the fan control for proper operation. Limit  
control operation can be checked by blocking the  
circulating air inlet or temporarily disconnecting the  
electrical supply to the blower motor and determining  
that the limit control acts to shut off the main burner  
gas.  
6. Visually inspect the modified venting system for proper  
horizontal pitch.  
7. Check that the damper and gas valve(s) are in the  
correct operating sequence.  
(a) The damper must be in the full open position  
before the gas valve(s) opens.  
(b) The damper must remain in the full open position  
while the gas valve(s) is open.  
(c) The gas valve(s) must be closed before damper  
begins its return to the closed position.  
(d) The damper shall remain in the closed position  
during the off cycle of the appliance.
