POWER UP:
• When power is supplied, the control will energize the
Red LED, microcomputer runs its self-check routine.
• The control will check the status of the gas valve circuitry.
• Line polarity is checked.
• The control then enters standby waiting for a call for
heat or cool.

• The control module checks the high limit (and/or auxiliary
limit) switch(es) for normally closed contacts.
• The control checks the low pressure switch for a shorted
condition.
• The gas valve relay status is checked for proper
operation. Once the low pressure switch is detected

• The low pressure switch is checked for closure.
• Once the low pressure switch is closed, the pre-purge
period begins. The inducer will be energized at high
speed for the pre-purge period.
• Following the completion of pre-purge, the inducer
switches to low speed and the igniter warm up period
begins.
• After completion of the igniter warm up period:
