off power within the furnace. When power to the furnace is shut
off by either method, the status code will be lost because the code
is not stored while power is removed for any reason.
To Begin Component Self-Test:
Blower access panel door switch opens 115-v power to
control center. No component operation can occur. Caution
must be taken when manually closing this switch for service
purposes. Failure to follow this warning could result in
electrical shock, personal injury, or death.
1. Remove blower access door.
2. Disconnect the thermostat R lead from furnace control.
3. Manually close blower door switch.
4. For approximately 2 sec, short (jumper) the C
OM-24v terminal
on control to the TEST/TWIN 3/16-inch quick-connect termi-
nal on control until the LED goes out. Remove jumper from
terminals. (See Fig. 31.)
NOTE: If TEST/TWIN and C
OM-24v terminals are jumpered
longer than 2 sec, LED will flash rapidly and ignore component
test request.
Component test sequence is as follows:
a. LED will display previous status code 4 times.
b. Inducer motor starts and continues to run until Step g of
component test sequence.
c. After 7 seconds the hot surface ignitor is energized for 15
sec., then off.
d. Blower motor operates on Continuous-FAN speed for 10
sec.
e. Blower motor operates on HEAT speed for 10 sec.
f. Blower motor operates on COOL speed for 10 sec.
g. Inducer motor stops.
5. Reconnect R lead to furnace control, remove tape from blower
door switch, and re-install blower door.
6. Operate furnace per instruction on outer door.
7. Verify furnace shut down by lowering thermostat setting
below room temperature.
8. Verify that furnace restarts by raising thermostat setting above
room temperature.
START-UP PROCEDURES
Step 1—General
1. Furnace must have a 115-v power supply properly connected
and grounded. Proper polarity must be maintained for correct
operation.
NOTE: Proper polarity must be maintained for 115-v wiring. If
polarity is incorrect, control center LED status indicator light will
flash rapidly and furnace will not operate.
2. Thermostat wire connections at terminals R, W, G, and Y
must be made at 24-v terminal block on furnace control center.
3. Natural gas service pressure must not exceed 0.5 psig (14-in.
wc), but must be no less than 0.16 psig (4.5-in. wc).
4. Blower access panel must be in place to complete 115-v
electrical circuit to furnace.
These furnaces are equipped with a manual reset limit switch
in burner box. This switch will open and shut power to gas
valve if an overheat condition (flame rollout) occurs in burner
enclosure. Correct inadequate combustion-air supply or im-
proper venting condition and reset switch. DO NOT jumper
this switch.
Before operating furnace, check flame rollout manual reset switch
for continuity. If necessary, press button to reset switch.
Step 2—Prime Condensate Trap with Water
Condensate trap must be PRIMED or proper draining may not
occur. The condensate trap has 2 internal chambers which can
ONLY be primed by pouring water into the inducer drain side
of condensate trap.
1. Remove upper inducer housing drain connection cap. (See
Fig. 48.)
2. Connect field-supplied 1/2-in. ID tube to upper inducer
housing drain connection.
3. Insert field-supplied funnel into tube.
4. Pour 1 quart of water into funnel/tube. Water should run
through inducer housing, overfill condensate trap, and flow
into open field drain. (See Fig. 49.)
5. Remove funnel and tube from inducer housing and replace
drain connection cap and clamp.
Step 3—Purge Gas Lines
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never test
for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for the detection of
leaks to check all connections. Failure to follow this warning
could result in fire, explosion, personal injury, or death.
Step 4—Adjustments
SET GAS INPUT RATE
Furnace gas input rate on rating plate is for installations at altitudes
up to 2000 ft.
In the U.S.A., the input ratings for altitudes above 2000 ft must be
reduced by 2 percent for each 1000 ft above sea level.
In Canada, the input ratings must be derated by 5 percent for
altitudes of 2000 ft to 4500 ft above sea level.
Furnace input rate must be within ±2 percent of input on furnace
rating plate adjusted for altitude.
1. Determine natural gas orifice size and manifold pressure for
correct input.
a. Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed altitude)
from local gas supplier.
b. Obtain average yearly gas specific gravity from local gas
supplier.
c. Verify furnace model. Table 9 can only be used for model
58MCA furnaces with heating sizes of 040 through 120.
Table 10 can only be used for model 58MCA furnaces with
a heating size of 140.
d. Find installation altitude in Table 9 or 10.
NOTE: For Canada altitudes of 2001 to 4500 ft, use U.S.A.
altitudes of 2001 to 3000 ft in Table 9 or 10.
