AUXILIARY ALARM SWITCH:
The control is equipped with a 24VAC Auxiliary Alarm Input (12 inch purple / white wire attached to pin 6 of 15 pin connector)
which can be utilized with communicating mode setups (typically used for condensate switch wiring but could be used with
compatible C0
2
sensors or Fire Alarms).
Legacy mode use
In a legacy system (Non-communicating), this auxiliary alarm input is not operational. Any auxiliary alarm switch must be
used to interrupt Y1 signal either to IFC or to UC.
Communication mode use
This feature can be activated or deactivated through the thermostat user menus. By default, an AUX switch is normally
closed and opens when the water level in the evaporator coil base pan reaches a particular level. The control will respond by
turning off the outdoor compressor and display the proper fault codes. If the AUX switch is detected closed for 30 seconds,
normal operation resumes and error messages are no longer displayed. Installer must wire control voltage (24VAC) to AUX
switch to ensure the Auxiliary Alarm Input has 24VAC during normal operation.

IPING
The furnace rating plate includes the approved furnace gas input
rating and gas types. The furnace must be equipped to operate
on the type of gas applied. This includes any conversion kits
required for alternate fuels and/or high altitude.
Inlet gas supply pressures must be maintained within the ranges
specified in the following table. The supply pressure must be
constant and available with all other household gas fired appli-
ances operating. The minimum gas supply pressure must be main-
tained to prevent unreliable ignition. The maximum must not be
exceeded to prevent unit overfiring.
HIGH ALTITUDE DERATE
When this furnace is installed at high altitude, the appropriate High Altitude orifice kit must be applied. This is required due to the
natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and combustion air as altitude increases. The kit will provide the proper design
certified input rate within the specified altitude range.
High altitude kits are purchased according to the installation altitude and usage of either natural or propane gas. Consult the
furnace Specification Sheet for appropriate kits.
Do not derate the furnace by adjusting the manifold pressure to a lower pressure than specified on the furnace rating plate. The
combination of the lower air density and a lower manifold pressure will prohibit the burner orifice from drawing the proper amount of
air into the burner. This may cause incomplete combustion, flashback, and possible yellow tipping.
In some areas the gas supplier may artificially derate the gas in an effort to compensate for the effects of altitude. If the gas is
artificially derated, the appropriate orifice size must be determined based upon the BTU/ft
3
content of the derated gas and the
altitude. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, and information provided by the gas supplier to determine the
proper orifice size.
A different pressure switch may be required at high altitude regardless of the BTU/ft
3
content of the fuel used. Consult the furnace
Specification Sheet for pressure switch.
PROPANE GAS CONVERSION
This unit is configured for natural gas. The appropriate
manufacturer’s propane gas conversion kit, must be applied for
propane gas installations. Refer to the Propane Gas and/or High
Altitude Installations for details.
Consult the furnace Specification Sheet for a listing of appro-
priate kits. The indicated kits must be used to insure safe and
proper furnace operation. All conversions must be performed by a
qualified installer, or service agency.
