Table 3. Thermostat Selection Switch Settings

Heating Operation DIP Switch Settings -- Figure 4 

Switch 1 -- Thermostat Selection -- 

This  unit  may  be 

used  with  either  a  single-stage  or  two-stage  thermostat. 

The thermostat selection is made using a DIP switch which 

must  be  properly  positioned  for  the  particular  application. 

The DIP switch is factory-positioned for use with a two-stage 

thermostat. If a single-stage thermostat is to be used, the 

DIP switch must be repositioned. See Table 3.

NOTE: 

All DIP switches are factory shipped in the “OFF” 

position.

Switch 2 -- Operating Mode with Two-Stage Thermostat 

-- 

If a two-stage thermostat is used, the furnace can operate 

in either variable-capacity or conventional two-stage mode. 

When  variable-capacity  mode  is  selected,  the  firing  rate 

of  the  unit  is  varied  to  maximize  comfort.  Conventional 

twostage mode is the factory default setting. See Table 3.

Switch 3 -- Second-Stage Heat On Delay -- 

If a singlestage 

thermostat  is  used,  the  integrated  control  can  be  used  to 

energize  second-stage  heat  after  either  7  minutes  or  12 

minutes of first-stage heat operation. See Table 3.

Switches  4  and  5  --  Blower-Off  Delay  --

  The  blower-on 

delay of 45 seconds is not adjustable. The blower-off delay 

(time  that  the  blower  operates  after  the  heating  demand 

has been satisfied) can be adjusted by moving switches 4 

and 5 on the integrated control. The unit is shipped from the 

factory with a blower-off delay of 90 seconds. The blower off 

delay affects comfort and is adjustable to satisfy individual 

applications. Adjust the blower off delay to achieve a supply 

air temperature between 90° and 110°F at the exact moment 

that  the  blower  is  de-energized.  Longer  off  delay  settings 

provide  lower  supply  air  temperatures;  shorter  settings 

provide  higher  supply  air  temperatures.  Table  4  provides 

the  blower  off  timings  that  will  result  from  different  switch 

settings.

Switches 6 and 7 - Continuous Indoor Fan Operation

 

Blower Speed

 - The unit is shipped from the factory with the 

DIP switches positioned for medium low (38%) speed during 

continuous indoor blower operation. Continuous fan setting 

is 38% of cool setting and is not adjustable.

Switches 8 and 9 -- Cooling Mode Blower Speed -- 

Switches 8 and 9 are used to select cooling blower motor 

speed.  The  unit  is  shipped  from  the  factory  with  the  DIP 

switches positioned for high speed (4) indoor blower motor 

operation  during  the  cooling  mode.  Table  5  provides  the 

cooling  mode  blower  speeds  that  will  result  from  different 

switch  settings.  Refer  to  blower  tables  at  the  front  of  this 

manual for corresponding cfm values.

Table 5. Cooling Mode Blower Speeds

Switches 10 and 11 -- Cooling Mode Blower Speed 

Adjustment -- 

Switches  10  and  11  are  used  to  select 

blower speed adjustment settings. The unit is shipped from 

the  factory  with  the  DIP  switches  positioned  for  NORMAL 

(no)  adjustment.  The  DIP  switches  may  be  positioned  to 

adjust the blower speed by +10% or -10% to better suit the 

application.  Table  6  provides  blower  speed  adjustments 

that will result from different switch settings. Refer to blower 

tables  at  the  front  of  this  manual  for  corresponding  cfm 

values. With switches 10 and 11 set to ON, motor will bypass 

ramping profiles and all delays and immediately upon a call 

for cool, run at COOLING speed selected. LED will continue
