SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock, or
other conditions which may cause death, personal injury, or property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency,
or your distributor or branch for information or assistance. The qualified installer or agency must use factory authorized kits
or accessories when modifying this product. Refer to the individual instructions packaged with the kits or accessories when
installing.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing
operations. Have fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions
included in literature and attached to the unit. Consult local building codes, the current editions of the National Fuel Gas
Code (NFCG) NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, and the National Electrical Code (NEC) NFPA 70.
In Canada refer to the current editions of the National standards of Canada CAN/CSA B149.1 and .2 Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Codes, and Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety alert symbol . When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions
or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury. Understand these signal words; DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will
result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or death.
CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which may result in minor personal injury or product and property damage.
NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.

To use the natural gas table, first consult your local gas utility for
the heating value of the gas supply. Select the heating value in the
vertical column and follow across the table until the appropriate
elevation for the installation is reached. The value in the box at the
intersection of the altitude and heating value provides not only the
25-24-99a manifold pressure but also the orifice size. In the natural gas
tables the factory shipped orifice size is in bold (42). Other sizes
must be obtained from service parts.

Heating (W1) Request (single stage thermostat operation, SW1 DIP switch #3 must be in OFF
position) (see furnace wiring diagram):
24VAC signal applied to W1 terminal of FCB.
• Inducer motor turns on at high speed.
• Following a 15 second prepurge delay after the low pressure switch closes, the ignitor begins a 17 second warm up.
• The gas valve is energized, the main burners light at Low Heat rate and flame is sensed.
• The ignitor is de energized, and the inducer drops to low speed after the main burners ignite.
• The FCB will delay Low Heat blower operation for the 45 second Low Heat Fan On Delay time, timed from
the opening of the gas valve.
• If the W1 request is still present after 12 minutes, timed from the opening of the gas valve, the inducer switches to high speed,
closing the high pressure switch, then the High Heat solenoid energizes, and the fan switches to High Heat speed.
W1 signal removed from FCB.
• The gas valve de energizes and the main burners go out.
• The inducer runs at its present speed for a 15 second postpurge period.
• The fan runs at its present speed.
• The fan de energizes after the selected Heat Fan Off Delay time expires, timed from the gas valve de energizing.
NOTE 4) If a new Heating request arrives while the control is waiting in the Heat Fan Off Delay time, the FCB will wait for the selected Heat
Fan Off Delay then start a new heating cycle as long as the heat call remains.
Heating Request (W1 & W2) (two-stage thermostat operation, SW1 DIP switch #3 must be in ON
position) (see furnace wiring diagram):
24VAC signal applied to W1 terminal of FCB.
• Same response as single stage thermostat operation (fan uses Low Stage Heat On Delay) described above except the control

24VAC signal applied to W1 and W2 terminals of FCB.
• Same light off routine as described for the signal stage thermostat operation except main burners light at High Heat rate, the
inducer remains on high speed after ignition, and the FCB will delay blower operation at the High Heat Fan speed for 30 second
On Delay time.
NOTE 5) The FCB responds without delay to the presence or loss of W2 (with W1 constant). W1 & W2 result in high inducer, High Heat
rate, and High Heat Fan speed. W1 only results in low inducer, Low Heat rate, and Low Heat Fan speed.

HUMIDIFIER The 24VAC HUM is energized when the low pressure switch closes on a call for heat. The 115V HUM (called HUM on
Control) is energized when the inducer is energized.
ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER EAC is energized when there is a blower speed call. It is NOT energized when blower operates in
the hard wired continuous fan mode.
Heating (W1 & W2) Request (two-stage thermostat operation, SW1 DIP switch #3 must be in ON
position) (see furnace wiring diagram):
24VAC signals applied to W1 terminal of FCB.

On Delay.
NOTE 6) The FCB responds without delay to the presence or loss of W2 (with W1 constant). W1 & W2 result in high inducer, High Heat
rate, and High Heat Fan speed. W1 only results in low speed inducer, Low Heat rate, and Low Heat Fan speed.
Heating Request with Gas Shut Off:
24 VAC signals applied to W1 terminal of FCB.
The FCB will attempt 4 cycles for ignition then go to soft lockout for 3 hours, and then try for ignition again as long as the heat call
remains. Power reset will clear lockout.
• Inducer motor turns on at high speed.
• Following a 15 second prepurge delay after the low pressure switch closes, the ignitor begins warm up.
• The ignitor glows red hot for 22 seconds, then turns off. The FCB flashes error code 6.
• The ignitor stays off for 17 seconds, then begins to warm up again.
• The ignitor glows red hot for 22 seconds then turns off. The FCB continues flashing error code 6.
• The ignitor stays off for 17 seconds, then begins to warm up again.
• The ignitor glows red hot for 22 seconds then turns off. The FCB continues flashing error code 6.
• The ignitor stays off for 17 seconds, then begins to warm up again.
• The ignitor glows red hot for 22 seconds then turns off. The FCB proceeds to soft lockout. Stops flashing
error code 6, and begins flashing error code 6 + 1.
• The inducer motor de energizes 15 seconds after error code 6 + 1 starts flashing.
Furnace Control Board Diagnostic Codes (See Figure 37):
OFF = 24VAC or 115VAC is off, fuse is open
Heartbeat = Normal operation or no previous Diagnostic Code
ON SOLID = Soft Lockout Furnace Control Error (1 hr delay)
If code repeats immediately following power reset then replace control
1 Flash = Not used
2 Flashes = Pressure switch(es) closed when should be open
3 Flashes = Low pressure switch open when should be closed
4 Flashes = Limit or flame roll out switch open (less than 2 minutes)
5 Flashes = Flame sensed out of sequence
6 Flashes = Failure to ignite or flame sense lost while running
6 + 1 Flashes = Soft Lockout Max of four trials for ignition reached (3 hr delay)
7 Flashes = Soft Lockout Limit or flame roll out switch open longer than 2 minutes (1 hr delay)
(roll out switch requires manual reset)
8 Flashes = Permanent Lockout Gas valve relay contact stuck closed or miswired gas valve (power reset only)
9 Flashes = High pressure switch open when should be closed
10 Flashes = Improper transformer phasing on twinned applications or improper line voltage polarity.
* If status code recall is needed, briefly (2 3 seconds) remove then reconnect one limit switch wire (main or rollout) to display last stored
status code. Do not remove power or blower door before initiating status code recall or code will be lost. Code is automatically cleared
after 72 hours or upon power reset.
* Proper flame sense microamps: 0.7 microamps D.C. minimum, 2.0 4.0 microamps nominal
NOTE 7) Continuous blower selection DIP 10 and 11 will cause the blower to run in high cooling speed for all low cooling (Y1) calls.
Continuous blower DIP settings of 00 and 01 will allow low cooling (Y1) calls to operate normally.
HUMIDIFIER The 24VAC HUM is energized when the low pressure switch closes on a call for heat. The 115V HUM (called HUM on
