1. Turn OFF gas to furnace at the manual gas shutoff
valve external to the furnace.
2. Connect a calibrated water manometer (or appropri-
ate gas pressure gauge) at either the gas valve inlet
pressure boss or the gas piping drip leg. See
Honeywell VR9205R gas valve figure for location of in-
let pressure boss.
NOTE:
If measuring gas pressure at the drip leg or Honeywell
VR9205R gas valve, a field-supplied hose barb fitting must be
installed prior to making the hose connection.
3. Turn ON the gas supply and operate the furnace and
all other gas consuming appliances on the same gas
supply line.
Field Test Mode is intended to help a service person
troubleshoot and check out an installed appliance.
To enter Field Test Mode the Fault Recall Push-Button
must be pressed twice within a 5 second period at any
time during a heating cycle, at which time the display
will show “Ft”. While the display is showing “Ft”, press-
ing and holding the Fault Recall Push-Button for 3 sec-
onds will enable the field test mode and override the
normal firing rate sequence at a rate of 100% for 5 min-
utes or until the end of the call for heat. The display
will show the normal “Hi” while the control is firing at
100%. If the Fault Recall Push-Button has not been
pressed within 5 seconds of displaying “Ft” the display
will revert back to normal.
4. Measure furnace gas supply pressure with burners firing.
Supply pressure must be within the range specified in the
Inlet Gas Supply Pressure
table.
Natural Gas
Minimum: 4.5" w.c.
Maximum: 10.0" w.c.
Propane Gas
Minimum: 11.0" w.c.
Maximum: 13.0" w.c.
Inlet Gas Supply Pressure
If supply pressure differs from table, make the necessary ad-
justments to pressure regulator, gas piping size, etc., and/or
consult with local gas utility.
5. Turn OFF gas to furnace at the manual shutoff valve and
disconnect manometer. Reinstall plug before turning on
gas to furnace.
6. Turn OFF any unnecessary gas appliances stated in step 3.

The line pressure supplied to the gas valve must be within the
range specified below. The supply pressure can be measured at
the gas valve inlet pressure boss or at a hose fitting installed in
the gas piping drip leg. The supply pressure must be measured
with the burners operating. To measure the gas supply pres-
sure, use the following procedure.
