TOOLS AND INFORMATION THAT WILL BE
REQUIRED IN ORDER TO PROPERLY PERFORM THE
FURNACE STARTUP PROCEDURE.
1. Call the local gas supplier to obtain heating value of the natural
gas. If you cannot obtain the heating valve of the gas from the gas
supplier, you may use a default value of 1030 BTU/SCF (38.8 MJ /
m³).
2. You will need a thermometer or portable digital thermometer to
read the supply and return air temperatures.
3. You will need a U-tube manometer or digital equipment that has
the ability to read pressures between 0 – 15” in.w.c (0 - 3.73 kPa)
in order to measure the gas line and the manifold pressures.
4. You will need a 3/32” (2.4 mm) Allen wrench for the pressure port
plugs in the gas valve.
5. You will need 2 pieces of 1/8” (3.175 mm) ID flexible tubing that is
12” (30 cm) in length, 2 – pieces of 1/8” (3.175 mm) tubing that are
4” in length, a 1/8” (3.175 mm) tee and a 1/8” (3.175 mm) adapter
to connect the U-tube manometer or the digital pressure measur-
ing equipment to the gas valve pressure ports.
There is an accessory kit (1PK0601) available from Source 1, which
has the following items:
• 1 - 12” (30 cm) length x 1/8” (3.175 mm) diameter tubing
• 2 – pieces of 4” (10 cm) length x 1/8” (3.175 mm) diameter tubing
• 1 - 5/16” (7.94 mm) tee
• 1 – 5/16” (7.94 mm) x 1/8” (3.175 mm) reducing coupling
• 1 – 1/8” (3.175 mm) adapter
There is a accessory kit (1PK0602) available from Source 1, which has
the following items:
• 12” (30 cm) length x 1/8” (3.175 mm) diameter tubing
• 2 – pieces of 4” (10 cm) length x 1/8” (3.175 mm) diameter tub-
ing
• 1 - 5/16” (7.94 mm) tee
• 1 – 5/16” (7.94 mm) x 1/8” (3.175 mm) reducing coupling
• 1 – 1/8” (3.175 mm) adapter
• 1 - Dwyer – Manometer
These items are required in order to properly perform the required star-
tup procedure.
IGNITION SYSTEM SEQUENCE
1. Turn the gas supply ON at external valve and main gas valve.
2. Set the thermostat above room temperature to call for heat.
3. System start-up will occur as follows:
a. The induced draft blower motor will start and come up to
speed. Shortly after inducer start-up, the hot surface igniter
will glow for about 17 seconds.
b. After this warm up, the ignition module will energize (open)
the main gas valve.
c. After flame is established, the supply air blower will start in
about 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT: Burner ignition may not be satisfactory on first startup
due to residual air in the gas line or until gas manifold pressure is
adjusted. The ignition control will make 3 attempts to light before lock-
ing out.
With furnace in operation, check all of the pipe joints, gas valve connec-
tions and manual valve connections for leakage using an approved gas
detector, a non-corrosive leak detection fluid, or other leak detection
methods. Take appropriate steps to stop any leak. If a leak persists,
replace the component.
The furnace and its equipment shutoff valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa).
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing the equipment shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system.
CALCULATING THE FURNACE INPUT
(NATURAL GAS)
NOTE: Front door of burner box must be secured when checking gas
input. Burner orifices are sized to provide proper input rate using
natural gas with a heating value of 1050 BTU/Ft
3
. If the heating
value of your gas is significantly different, it may be necessary to
replace the orifices. For propane applications that do not have a
gas meter you will have to replace the natural gas orifices and
adjust the manifold pressure. The input rate can not be calcu-
lated without a gas meter.
1. Turn off all other gas appliances connected to the gas meter.
2. At the gas meter, measure the time (with a stop watch) it takes to
use 2 cubic ft. (0.0566 m
3
.) of gas.
3. Calculate the furnace input by using one of the following equa-
tions.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in serious
injury, death or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for the detection of leaks
to check all connections. A fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
