Installation

Unpack and inspect unit for shipping damage. Place on level, stable pad or rooftop curb.

  1. Position unit: Ensure minimum clearances (24" front, 12" sides/rear, 48" above).
  2. Connect ductwork: Secure supply and return ducts to unit flanges.
  3. Connect gas line: Use black iron pipe; install shut-off valve and drip leg.
  4. Connect electrical: Run 240V power to disconnect; connect low-voltage thermostat wires.
  5. Connect vent pipe: Use approved Category I vent material; maintain proper slope.
  6. Connect condensate drain: Pipe to suitable drain with trap.

WARNING! Installation must comply with national and local codes. Only qualified technicians should install gas and electrical components.

First-Time Startup & Commissioning

After installation, perform startup procedure.

  1. Verify all connections: Gas, electrical, vent, drain, and ductwork.
  2. Check gas pressure: Manifold pressure should be set to 3.5" W.C. for natural gas.
  3. Power on unit: Turn on disconnect and thermostat.
  4. Test modes: Run heating and cooling cycles; verify operation and temperatures.
  5. Set blower speeds: Adjust cooling and heating CFM per manufacturer specifications.
  6. Configure thermostat: Program schedules and setpoints as desired.

CAUTION! Never bypass safety controls. Ensure proper combustion air and venting to prevent carbon monoxide hazard.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Integrated control board manages all operations. Access via service panel.

Control Board LED: Flashing codes indicate system status (normal operation, lockout, fault).

Thermostat: Use compatible American Standard communicating or conventional thermostat. Configure heating/cooling setpoints, fan mode (Auto/On), system mode (Heat/Cool/Auto/Off), and schedules.

Blower Speed Taps: Adjust cooling and heating speeds via wire terminals on control board (COOL: HI/LO, HEAT: HI/LO).

Gas Valve Adjustment: Manifold pressure adjustment screw (do not adjust unless necessary).

Connecting System Components

Thermostat: Connect R, C, W1, W2, Y1, G terminals. Vent: Use single-wall or B-vent per code. Drain: PVC pipe to floor drain.

  1. Turn off all power and gas supply before making connections.
  2. Match wire gauges: 14 AWG minimum for line voltage, 18 AWG for thermostat.
  3. Use pipe sealant approved for gas on all threaded connections.
  4. Select system mode via thermostat (Heat, Cool, Auto, Off).

Tip: Label all wires during installation for easier future service.

Operating Modes

Heating: Two-stage gas heat. Cooling: Single-stage. Fan: Continuous or Auto.

  1. Heating Mode: Thermostat calls for heat. Stage 1 operates initially; Stage 2 engages if needed.
  2. Cooling Mode: Thermostat calls for cooling. Compressor and condenser fan energize.
  3. Fan Mode: Set to AUTO (cycles with heating/cooling) or ON (continuous).
  4. System Off: Unit and blower are inactive.
  5. Diagnostic Mode: Control board LED flashes fault codes (refer to service manual).

WARNING! Do not operate unit without filter. Allow unit to complete cycles; frequent cycling reduces efficiency.

Maintenance Features

Integrated Diagnostics: LED fault codes for quick troubleshooting. Filter Reminder: Some thermostats can be programmed to alert for filter changes. Service Access: Easy-to-remove panels for coil and blower maintenance.

Care & Cleaning

Turn off power at disconnect before servicing.

  1. Monthly: Inspect and replace/clean air filter.
  2. Annually (by technician): Inspect heat exchanger, clean burner assembly, check gas pressure, clean evaporator and condenser coils, check refrigerant charge, clean condensate drain, inspect electrical connections, lubricate motors if required (most are sealed).
  3. Keep area around unit clear of debris, vegetation, and snow.

CAUTION! Do not use water or cleaners on electrical components. Coil cleaning should use approved, non-corrosive cleaners.

Regulatory Information

Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
Unit will not startPower off, tripped breaker, thermostat settingCheck disconnect and breakers; verify thermostat mode and setpoint.
No heatGas supply, thermostat, pilot/ignitionVerify gas valve is on; check thermostat call for heat; observe ignition sequence.
No coolingThermostat, refrigerant, compressorVerify thermostat call for cool; check for tripped high-pressure switch; listen for compressor.
Blower not runningBlower motor, capacitor, control boardCheck for 240V at motor; inspect capacitor; check control board output.
Frequent cyclingDirty filter, thermostat location, oversized unitReplace filter; relocate thermostat away from heat sources; consult installer.
Unusual noisesLoose panels, debris in blower, failing motorTighten access panels; clean blower wheel; have motor bearings checked.
Water leakageClogged condensate drain, frozen coilClear drain line; check for proper airflow and refrigerant charge.
Fault code flashingSystem fault (pressure, flame, limit)Count LED flashes and refer to service manual fault code chart.

Reset: Power cycle unit at disconnect to clear temporary lockouts.
