• The Rheem Prestige Series

™

Two-Stage line of upflow/

horizontal gas furnaces are designed for utility rooms, closets,

alcoves, or attics. Because of the furnace’s low-profile 34

inch [864 mm] height, the upflow model installed vertically

can also be used to satisfy most applications that traditionally

call for a horizontal furnace.

• The design is certified by CSA International.

• The Comfort Control

System™ provides over 28 on-board

diagnostics and fault history codes by detecting system and

electrical problems. “Call for Service” alert notification is sent

to the thermostat to alert the homeowner of required service.

• Serial Communication Enhanced – When installed with a

Serial Com muni cat ing Condensing Unit and user interface

control (RHC-TST550CMMS) 500 Series thermostat this unit

offers 4 or 2 wire installation, auto-configuration, and diag-

nostic messaging with full communicating capability.

• Patented heat exchanger, constructed of aluminized steel for the

maximum in corrosion resistance and thermal fatigue reliability.

• Low profile “34 inch” [864 mm] design is lighter and easier to

handle, and leaves room for optional equipment.

• Energy efficient and quiet ECM 2+ communicating motor.

• Improves cooling efficiency when matched with rated

condensing unit and coil.

• Constant CFM.

• Seven segment LED for system diagnostics.

• Diagnostic history for troubleshooting.

• Dip switch settings for selectable cooling airflow.

• On-demand dehumidification terminal for improved comfort in

cooling mode.

• Convertible from upflow to horizontal left or right.

• Left or right side gas and electric inlet connections.

• All models equipped with flame sensor feature, an integrated

board with humidifier and electronic air cleaner hookups.

• Insulated blower compartment, a slow-open gas valve, a

specially designed draft inducer motor and blower motor

make it one of the quietest furnaces on the market today.

• Pre-paint galvanized steel cabinet.

• Molded permanent filter.

• Easy door removal and replacement.

• Compatible with single or two-stage thermostat. (For optimal

performance, two-stage thermostat recommended.)

• A variety of cooling coils and plenums designed to use with
