(See Fig. 10.) Select desired blower motor speed lead from
1 of the other terminals and relocate it to HEAT terminal.
See Table 9 for lead color identification. Reconnect origi-
nal lead on SPARE terminal.
Recheck temperature rise. It must be within limits specified
on unit rating plate. Recommended operation is at midpoint of
rise or above.
3. Set thermostat heat anticipator.
The thermostat heat anticipator must be set to match the amp
draw of the electrical components in the R-W circuit. Accurate
amp draw readings can be obtained at thermostat subbase
terminals R and W. Fig. 14 illustrates an easy method of
obtaining the actual amp draw. The amp reading should be
taken after the blower motor has started. See the thermostat
manufacturers instructions for adjusting the heat anticipator
and for varying the heating cycle length.
NOTE: When using an electronic thermostat, set the cycle rate for
3 cycles per hr.
CHECK SAFETY CONTROLS The flame sensor, gas valve,
and pressure switch were all checked in the Start-Up Procedures
section as part of normal operation.
1. Check primary limit control.
This control shuts off the combustion control system and
energizes the circulating-air blower motor if the furnace
overheats.
The preferred method of checking the limit control is to
gradually block off the return air after the furnace has been
operating for a period of at least 5 minutes. As soon as the
limit has shut off the burners, the return-air opening should be
unblocked. By using this method to check the limit control, it
can be established that the limit is functioning properly and
operates if there is a motor failure.
2. Check blocked vent safeguard switch.
The purpose of this control is to permit the safe shutdown of
the furnace during certain blocked vent conditions.
a. Disconnect power to furnace and remove vent connector
from furnace outlet collar. Be sure to allow time for vent
pipe to cool down before removing.
b. Restore power to furnace and set room thermostat above
room temperature.
c. After normal start-up, allow furnace to operate for 2
minutes, then block flue outlet 100 percent. Furnace should
cycle off within 2 minutes.
d. Remove blockage and reconnect vent pipe to furnace outlet
collar.
