ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components. 
Take precautions during furnace installation and service 
to protect the furnace’s electronic controls. Precautions 
will  help  to  avoid  control  exposure  to  electrostatic 
discharge  by  putting  the  furnace,  the  control  and  the 
technician at the same electrostatic potential. Neutralize 
electrostatic charge by  touching hand and all tools  on 
an  unpainted  unit  surface,  such  as  the  gas  valve  or 
blower deck, before performing any service procedure.
 CAUTION
Figure 63. 
Figure 64. 
The unit is equipped with a eld makeup box. The makeup 
box  may  be  moved  to  the  right  side  of  the  furnace  to 
facilitate  installation.  Seal  unused  openings  on  left  side 
with plugs removed from right side. Secure the excess wire 
to the existing harness to protect it from damage.
Refer  to  Figure  66  for  eld  wiring  and  Figure  67  for 
schematic wiring diagram and troubleshooting.
The  power  supply  wiring  must  meet  Class  I  restrictions. 
Protected by either a fuse or circuit breaker, select circuit 
protection and wire size according to unit nameplate.
NOTE: Unit  nameplate  states  maximum  current  draw. 
Maximum Over-Current Protection allowed is 15 AMP.
Holes are on both sides of the furnace cabinet to facilitate 
wiring.
Install a separate (properly sized) disconnect switch near 
the furnace so that power can be turned off for servicing.
Before connecting the thermostat check to make sure the 
wires will be long enough for servicing at a later date. Make 
sure that thermostat wire is long enough to facilitate future 
removal of blower for service.
Complete the wiring connections to the equipment. Use the 
provided unit wiring diagram and the eld wiring diagram 
shown  in  Figure  66.  Use  18  gauge  wire  or  larger  that  is 
suitable for Class II rating for thermostat connections.
Electrically  ground  the  unit  according  to  local  codes  or, 
in  the  absence  of  local  codes,  according  to  the  current 
National  Electric  Code  (ANSI/HFPA  No.  70)  for  the  USA 
and current Canadian Electric Code Part 1 (CSA standard 
C22.1) for Canada. A green ground wire is provided in the 
eld makeup box.
NOTE: The  gas  furnace  contains  electronic  components 
that  are  polarity  sensitive.  Make  sure  that  the  furnace  is 
wired correctly and is properly grounded.
Accessory Terminals
One  line  voltage  “ACC”  1/4”  spade  terminal  is  provided 
on  the  furnace  control  board. Any  accessory  rated  up  to 
one amp can be connected to this terminal with the neutral 
leg of the circuit  being  connected  to one of the  provided 
neutral  terminals.  If  an  accessory  rated  at  greater  than 
one amp is  connected  to  this  terminal, it is  necessary  to 
use  an  external  relay.  See  Figure  68  for  control  board 
conguration. This terminal is energized when the indoor 
blower is operating. 
One  line  voltage  “HUM”  1/4”  spade  terminal  is  provided 
on  the  furnace  control  board. Any  humidier  rated  up  to 
one amp can be connected to this terminal with the neutral 
leg of the circuit  being  connected  to one of the  provided 
neutral  terminals.  If  a  humidier  rated  at  greater  than 
one amp is  connected  to  this  terminal, it is  necessary  to
