UMIDIFIER

The yellow wire connected to the I.D. Blower pressure switch is
powered anytime the pressure switch is closed and provides 24
VAC humidifier control. Remove the yellow wire and connect a field
supplied jumper wire with a “piggyback” terminal to the pressure
switch terminal. Reconnect the yellow wire to the “piggyback” ter-
minal on the jumper wire and then connect the 24 VAC line of the
humidifier to the stripped end of the jumper wire. Using a wire nut
or a field-supplied quick connect terminal can make this connec-
tion. The wiring must conform to all local and national codes. Con-
nect the COM side of the humidifier to the B/C terminal on the
furnace control board (or to the COM side of the 24 VAC trans-
former). 

DO NOT CONNECT 115V

The furnace rating plate includes the approved furnace gas input rat-
ing and gas types.  The furnace must be equipped to operate on the
type of gas applied.  This includes any conversion kits required for
alternate fuels and/or high altitude.

CAUTION

Inlet gas supply pressures must be maintained within the ranges speci-

all other household gas fired appliances operating.  The minimum gas
supply pressure must be maintained to prevent unreliable ignition.  The
maximum must not be exceeded to prevent unit overfiring.

ERATE

When this furnace is installed at high altitude, the appropriate High
Altitude orifice kit must be applied.  This is required due to the
natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and combus-
tion air as altitude increases.  The kit will provide the proper design
certified input rate within the specified altitude range.
High altitude kits are purchased according to the installation alti-
tude and usage of either natural or propane gas.  Contact your
distributor for a tabular listing of appropriate altitude ranges and
corresponding manufacturer’s high altitude (Natural, Propane Gas,
and/or Pressure Switch) kits.
Do 

not

 derate the furnace by adjusting the manifold pressure to a

lower pressure than specified on the furnace rating plate.  The
combination of the lower air density and a lower manifold pressure
will prohibit the burner orifice from drawing the proper amount of
air into the burner.  This may cause incomplete combustion, flash-
back, and possible yellow tipping.
In some areas the gas supplier may artificially derate the gas in an
effort to compensate for the effects of altitude.  If the gas is artifi-
cially derated, the appropriate orifice size must be determined based
upon the BTU/ft

3

 content of the  derated gas and the altitude.  Refer to

the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and information provided by
the gas supplier to determine the proper orifice size.
A different pressure switch may be required at high altitude regard-
less of the BTU/ft

3

 content of the fuel used.  Contact your distributor

for a tabular listing of appropriate altitude ranges and corresponding
manufacturer’s pressure switch kits.

WARNING

To ensure proper unit grounding, the ground wire should run from the
furnace ground screw located inside the furnace junction box all the
way back to the electrical panel.  

NOTE:

  Do not use gas piping as an

electrical ground.  To confirm proper unit grounding, turn off the electri-
cal power and perform the following check.

1. Measure resistance between the neutral (white) connection

and one of the burners.

2.

Resistance should measure 10 ohms or less.

This furnace is equipped with a blower door interlock switch which
interrupts unit voltage when the blower door is opened for servic-
ing.  Do not defeat this switch.
