THERMOSTAT MENU
If this furnace is installed with a communicating compatible
heat pump, the system is recognized as a dual fuel system.
The balance point temperature should be set via the thermo-
stat.
DIAGNOSTICS
Accessing the furnace’s diagnostic menu provides access to
the last six faults detected by the furnace. Faults are stored
most recent to least recent, Any consecutively repeated fault
is stored a maximum of three times. Example: A clogged
return air filter causes the furnace limit to trip repeatedly.
The control will only store this fault the first three consecu-
tive times the fault occurs. Navigate to the diagnostics menu
as described above in the thermostat installation manual.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the fault history be
cleared when performing maintenance or servicing the fur-
nace.
NETWORKTROUBLESHOOTING
Communication is achieved by taking the difference between
two DC signals. The signals and transmission lines are re-
ferred to as “data 1” and “data 2.” The voltage difference
between data 1 and data 2 is typically 0.6 VDC.
The ComfortNet™ system is a fully communicating system, and
thus, constitutes a network. Occasionally the need to trouble-
shoot the network may arise. The integrated furnace control
has some on-board tools that may be used to troubleshoot the
network. These tools are: red communications LED, green re-
ceive (Rx) LED, and learn button.
• Red communications LED – Indicates the status of the
network. The table below indicates the LED status
and the corresponding potential problem.
• Green receive LED – Indicates network traffic. The
table below indicates the LED status and the
corresponding potential problem.
• Learn button – Used to reset the network. Depress
the button for approximately 2 seconds to reset the
network.

NOTE: Refer to the instructions accompanying the ComfortNet
compatible outdoor AC/HP unit for troubleshooting information.
