Does the IDM Energize?
IDM Runs for 30 sec. pre-purge ?
Spark Ignitor Sparking?
Does Main Burner Light and stay lit?
Is the gas valve energized?
PS dropping out?
Check IFC*
Does IBM start on heat speed 20 seconds
a
fter burners light?
Does main burner remain lit until
heat call ends?
Does thermostat maintain reasonable room
temperature near setpoint?
Set thermostat to off position (W to C = ØV)
Does gas valve shut off immediately?
Does IDM shut off after ten second post-purge?
Does IBM shut off after a max. of 3 min?

Check IFC*.

Does IDM Run for 60 sec. and then off for Five minutes
- Check thermostat inheat mode,
battery, wire, and connections.
- Check PS contact s
-
Check wires for short.
- Check IFC*.
- Check switches and hoses for
w
ater or moistur e
- For Twinned units, check that both IFCs are set for TWIN and wires
are connected between TWIN terminals .
- Check IFC*.
- For twinned units, ensure transformers are in phase.
(if out of phase, flame LED will be dim).
- For non-twinned units, ensure TWIN is in the single (OFF) position.
- For Twinned units ensure both IFCs have same part number .
-
Check PS, PS Hoses, and wires.
- Check for blocked vent, excessive vent length or elbows, or
b
locked heat exchanger.
- Check IDM wired correctly .
- Ensure against excessive wind, which can open pressure switch.
- Check for intermittent P.S. operation.
- Check switches and hoses for water or moisture.
-
Check gas supply and manifold pressure.
- Ensure L1 and Neutral not swapped on IFC and junction box.
- Check igniter alignment .
- Check orifice or other restrictions to gas flow.
- Check flame sense rod (clean with scotch brite pad).
- Check flame carry over.
- Check wires, continuity , and connection between IFC and gas valve.
- Ensure 24 V between appropriate pins on connector of IFC.
Ensure manual switch on valve is in theON position.
- Did a pressure switch open during ignition trial? If yes, go to F
- Did a limit open during ignition trial? If yes, go to D
- Check line voltage between HEAT andNEUTRAL on IFC.
- Check wires, connections, and continuity between IFC and IBM.
- Check IBM capacitor .
- Check IBM.
CHECK:
-grounding on IFC and unit.
- check for proper polarity between L1 & neutral.
-flame sense rod (clean if necessary).
- wire continually between flame sense rod and appropriate pin of
connector on IFC
-flame carries across all burners, and all burners stay lit.
CHECK:
AIRFLOW
- ensure no restrictions, such as dirty filter, dampers, closed registers, etc.
LIMITS
- ensure good wire and connections between IFC and all limits. Make sure
limits are not open when circulating air temperature is within a specified range.
ROLLOUTS
- ensure rollouts or overtemperature limits do not need to be reset. Make
sure no flame rollout in burner compartment due to blocked flu or heat exchanger.
OVERFIRE
- ensure furnace is not overtemperature (temp rise is above stated range) .
Check gas valve, proper orifice size, gas pressure, etc.
Is Limit circuit open
or
opening and closing?
Note: IFC Status LED should be blinking a Fault Code.
Is the IFC sensing a good flame: NOTE:
Flame sense light should be steady-on
when burners are lit. If flame LED blinking,
or off, flame sense is low or absent.
Ensure thermostat is properly placed and not improperly affected by
registers, fans, sunlight, heat through walls, pipes, or wires in walls.
- Check heat anticipator setting. Furnace may need an isolation relay.
- Check installation instructions under section titled Isolation Relay for
details .
-Verify correct furnace sizing.
NOTE: If IFC goes into lockout (STATUS LED will blink code1), shut
off main power to unit, wait 30 seconds and then reset power.

IfE did not
resolve issue
Double check - Is W off at IFC?
(W to C = ØV?)
Voltage present at gas valve?
- Check gas valve.
SEE FAULT CODES
- Check IFC*.
Check IFC*.
*Most failures are not due to the IFC. Double
check all other possibilities, including the
ground connection or wire connections, before
replacing the IFC.
Ensure TSTAT is not inFAN position.
Is disply flashing a fault code
IsFLAME LED blinking or steady-on ?
**System will attempt to light 4 times. Voltage
is present at gas valve for only 7 seconds dur-
ing each trial for ignition. The entire system will
go into a 1 hour lockout after 4 attempts.
- Check line voltage at IDM.
- Check wires and connections between IDM and IFC.
-
Ensure line voltage on IDM pins of IFC connector .
- Check IDM capacitor (90+ only) .
CHECK BLINK CODES
- Check for open limit or limit circuit.
FOR DIRECT SPARK IGNITION
- Check ignitor connected .
- Check ignitor wires.
- Check ignitor for fractures or cracking
- Check ignitor placement .
- If problem persists, check IFC*.
