Heating
On a  call for  heat from the  room thermostat,  the control 
board  performs  a  1  second  self  check.  Upon  conrma-
tion that the pressure switch contacts are in an open posi-
tion, the control energizes the combustion blower on high 
speed. The control then checks for adequate combustion 
air by making  sure the  low-re pressure  switch contacts 
are closed.
The  igniter  energizes  and  is  allowed  to  warm  up  for  20 
seconds before the gas valve energizes on 1st stage and 
burners  ignite.  30  seconds  after  ignition  the  circulating 
blower is energized. 45 seconds after the control conrms 
ignition  has  occurred,  the  control  drops  the  combustion 
blower to low speed.
The circulating blower operates at full 1st stage heat speed
until either the heat call is satised or the thermostat initi-
ates a call for 2nd stage heat. On a call for 2nd stage heat, 
the control energizes the circulating air blower on full CFM 
2nd stage heat.
If the automatic heat staging option is being used the fur-
nace does not switch to 2nd stage heat in response to a 
call from the thermostat but instead operates at 1st stage 
heat for the duration of the selected time before automati-
cally switching to 2nd stage heat.
When the call for heat is satised, the gas valve and com-
bustion air blower shut down. The control board shuts o 
the gas valve and runs the combustion blower for an addi-
tional 15 seconds. The circulating air blower continues to 
run the selected heat blower o delay time. before ramp-
ing down. In the event the unit loses ignition, the control 
will attempt to recycle up to ve times before it goes into 
a 1 hour lockout.
Lockout may be manually reset by removing power from 
the control for more than 1 second or removing the ther-
mostat call for heat for more than 3 seconds.
If  during  a  heating  cycle  the  limit  control  senses  an  ab-
normally high  temperature  and opens,  the  control board 
deenergizes  the  gas  valve  and  the  combustion  blower 
while the  circulating  blower ramps  up  to 2nd  stage  heat 
speed. The circulating blower remains energized until the 
limits are closed.
Fan On
When the thermostat  is set  for continuous  fan operation 
and there is no demand for heating or cooling, a call for 
fan closes the R to G circuit energizing the the circulating 
blower. For -55 units the motor runs at 50% of the selected 
cooling CFM and for -56 units the motor runs at 38% of the 
selected cooling CFM, until switched o. When the call for 
fan is turned o,  the control de-energizes the  circulating 
blower.
Cooling
The unit is set up at the factory for single stage cooling. 
For two stage cooling  operation, clip the jumper wire  lo-
cated between the Y to Y2 terminals on the integrated ig-
nition/ blower control board. If the active dehumidication 
feature is enabled, the circulating blower runs at 70% of 
the selected cooling  speed as long as  there is a  call for 
dehumidication.
 IMPORTANT
The system MUST NOT be in either the passive 
OR active dehumidication mode  when charging a 
cooling system.
Single Stage Cooling
A  call  for  cooling  from the  thermostat closes  the  R  to Y 
circuit on the integrated ignition/blower control board. The 
control waits for  a 1-second  delay before  energizing the 
circulating  blower  to  82%  of  the  selected  cooling  CFM 
(passive  dehumidication  mode).  After  7.5  minutes,  the 
circulating blower automatically ramps up to 100% of the 
selected cooling airow. When the call for cooling is satis-
ed, the circulating blower ramps back down to 82% of the 
selected cooling airow for 1 minute, then shuts o.
Two-Stage Cooling
A call for 1st stage cooling from the thermostat closes the 
R to Y circuit on the control board. The control waits for a 
1- second delay before energizing the circulating blower. 
The blower motor runs at 57% of the selected air ow for 
the rst 7.5 minutes of the 1st stage cooling demand (pas-
sive dehumidication mode). After 7.5 minutes, the blower 
motor runs at 70% of the selected cooling air ow until 1st 
stage cooling demand is satised.
A  call  for  2nd  stage  cooling  from  the  thermostat  closes 
the R to Y2 circuit on the control board. The blower motor 
ramps up to 100% of the selected cooling air ow. When 
the demand for cooling is met, the blower ramps down to 
Y1 until satised, then ramps down to 57% for 1 minute, 
then turns o.
Heat Pump
For heat pump operation, clip the jumper wire located bel-
low the O terminal on the integrated ignition/blower control 
board. In heat pump mode, a call for heat will result in the 
circulating air blower operating at the selected cooling air-
ow after a brief ramp-up period.
