inducer speed is adjusted to the appropriate target 
rate. The inducer will remain at the 70 percent 
speed  as  long  as  the  thermostat  has a  rst-stage 
heating demand.
5 -   If second-stage heat is required, the thermostat 
second- stage heat contacts close and send a signal 
to the integrated control. The integrated control 
initiates a 30-second second-stage recognition 
delay.
6 -   At the end of the recognition delay and on all 
subsequent calls for heat in the same heating cycle, 
the integrated control energizes the combustion air 
inducer at high speed. The control also checks the 
high-re pressure switch to make sure it is closed. 
As the inducer speed is increased to high, the 
indoor blower motor is adjusted to a speed which is 
appropriate for the target rate.
7 -   When the demand for high-re (second stage) heat 
is satised, the gas  valve is de-energized and the 
eld  selected  indoor  blower  o  delay  begins. The 
combustion air inducer begins a 20-second post-
purge period.
8 -    When the combustion air post-purge period is 
complete, the inducer is de-energized. The indoor 
blower is de-energized at the end of the o delay.

1 -   On  a  call  for  heat, thermostat  rst-stage contacts 
close sending a signal to the integrated control. The 
integrated control runs a self-diagnostic program 
and checks high temperature limit switches for 
normally closed contacts and pressure switches 
for normally open contacts. The combustion air 
inducer  is  energized  at  ignition  speed,  which  is 
approximately the same as the inducer speed at 70 
percent ring rate.
2 -   Once the control receives a signal that the low-re 
pressure switch has closed, the combustion air 
inducer begins a 15-second pre-purge in low speed.
3 -   After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial 
ignitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air 
inducer continues to operate at the ignition speed.
4 -   After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, 
the  gas  valve  is  energized  and  ignition occurs. At 
the same time, the control module begins an indoor 
blower 30-second ON-delay. When the delay ends, 
the indoor blower motor is energized at a speed that 
matches the ring rate. After the 10-second ignition 
stabilization  delay  expires,  the  inducer  speed  is 
adjusted to the appropriate target rate. If the furnace 
is operating in the initial heating cycle after power-
up,  the  initial  ring  rate  will  be  approximately  35 
percent. The ring rate on subsequent  cycles will 
be automatically adjusted by the integrated control 
based on thermostat cycles. The ring rate will vary 
and will range from 35 percent to 90 percent. The 
furnace will continue this operation as long as the 
thermostat has a rst-stage heating demand.
5 -     If second-stage heat is required, the thermostat 
second- stage heat contacts close and send a signal 
to the integrated control. The integrated control 
either increases the ring rate to 70 percent (if the 
current rate is at or below 60 percent) or increases 
the ring rate  by 10 percent (if the  current rate is 
above 60 percent). If the call for heat continues 5 
minutes beyond this initial upstage, the rate will 
be increased by 10 percent every 5 minutes until 
the call for heat is satised or the furnace reaches 
100 percent rate. As the ring rate increases, the 
indoor blower motor is adjusted to a speed which is 
appropriate for the target rate.
6 -   If  second-stage  heat  demand is  satised,  but  rst 
stage is still present, the furnace will continue to 
operate at the present ring rate until the heat cycle 
ends.
7 -   When the demand for rst- and second-stage heat 
is satised, the gas  valve is de-energized and the 
eld  selected  indoor  blower  o  delay  begins. The 
combustion air inducer begins a 20-second post-
purge period.
8 -   When the combustion air post-purge period is 
complete, the inducer is de-energized. The indoor 
blower is de-energized at the end of the o delay.

1 -   On  a  call  for  heat,  thermostat  rst-stage  contacts 
close sending a signal to the integrated control. The 
integrated control runs a self-diagnostic program 
and checks high temperature limit switches for 
normally closed contacts and pressure switches 
for normally open contacts. The combustion air 
inducer is energized at the ignition speed, which is 
approximately the same as the inducer speed at 70 
percent ring rate.
2 -   Once the control receives a signal that the low-
re  pressure  switch  has  closed,  the  combustion 
air inducer begins a 15-second pre-purge at the 
ignition speed.
3 -   After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial 
ignitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air 
inducer continues to operate at the ignition speed.
4 -   After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the 
gas  valve  is  energized  and  ignition  occurs,  which 
initiates a 10-second ignition stabilization delay. At 
the same time, the control module sends a signal 
to begin an indoor blower 30-second ON-delay. 
When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is 
energized  at  a  speed  which  is  appropriate for  the 
ring rate. After the 10-second ignition stabilization 
delay expires, the inducer speed is adjusted to 35 
percent speed. The integrated control also initiates 
a second-stage on delay (factory-set at 7 minutes; 
adjustable to 12 minutes).
5 -   If the heating demand continues beyond the second-
stage on delay, the integrated control energizes the 
combustion air inducer at 70 percent speed. The 
indoor blower motor is adjusted to a speed which 
matches  the  target  rate.  A  xed,  10-minute  third-
stage on delay is initiated.
