THERMOSTAT MENU
If this furnace is installed with a communicating compatible
heat pump, the system is recognized as a dual fuel system.
The balance point temperature should be set via the thermo-
stat.
DIAGNOSTICS
Accessing the furnace’s diagnostics menu provides ready ac-
cess to the last six faults detected by the furnace. Faults are
stored most recent to least recent. Any consecutively repeated
fault is stored a maximum of three times. Example: A clogged
return air filter causes the furnace limit to trip repeatedly. The
control will only store this fault the first three consecutive times
the fault occurs. Navigate to the diagnostics menu as de-
scribed above in the thermostat installation manual.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the fault history be cleared
when performing maintenance or servicing the furnace.
NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING
Communications is achieved by taking the difference between
two dc signals. The signals and transmission lines are re-
ferred to as “data 1” and “data 2”. Each transmission line is
biased to approximately 2.5Vdc. During data reception/trans-
mission, the data lines vary between +5V and ground. (When
data 1 is increasing towards +5V, data 2 is decreasing towards
ground and when data 1 is decreasing towards ground, data 2
is increasing towards +5V. Typically, the data 1 line is approxi-
mately 2.6Vdc and the data 2 transmission line is approxi-
mately 2.3Vdc. The voltage difference between data 1 and
data 2 is typically 0.2 to 0.6 Vdc.
The ComfortNet™ system is a fully communicating system, and
thus, constitutes a network. Occasionally the need to trouble-
shoot the network may arise. The integrated furnace control
has some on-board tools that may be used to troubleshoot the
network. These tools are: red communications LED, green
receive (Rx) LED, and learn button.
• Red communications LED – Indicates the status of the
network. The table below indicates the LED status
and the corresponding potential problem.
• Green receive LED – Indicates network traffic. The
table below indicates the LED status and the
corresponding potential problem.
• Learn button – Used to reset the network. Depress
the button for approximately 2 seconds to reset the
network.
