WIRE ROUTING MUST NOT INTERFERE WITH CIRCULATOR BLOWER
OPERATION, FILTER REMOVAL OR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Low voltage connections can be made through either the right
or left side panel. Thermostat wiring entrance holes are located
-
nections for a “heat/cool system”.
This furnace is equipped with a 40 VA transformer to facilitate
use with most cooling equipment. Consult the wiring diagram,
located on the blower compartment door, for further details
of 115 Volt and 24 Volt wiring.

A single-stage thermostat with only one heating stage
may be used to control this furnace. The application of a
timed transition from low
period of time before stepping up to high stage to satisfy
the thermostat’s call for heat. The delay period prior to
time delay or a load based variable time between 1 and 12
minutes (AUTO mode). If the AUTO mode is selected, the
control averages the cycle times of the previous three cycles
and uses the average to determine the time to transition
from low stage to high stage.

Setup
This furnace can be used in conjunction with a heat pump in
a fossil fuel application. A fossil fuel application refers to a
combined gas furnace and heat pump installation which uses an
means of heating (heat pump or gas furnace).
A heat pump thermostat with three stages of heat is required
to properly use a two-stage furnace in conjunction with a
heat pump. Refer to the fossil fuel kit installation instruc-
tions for additional thermostat requirements.
Strictly follow the wiring guidelines in the fossil fuel kit
installation instructions. All furnace connections must be
made to the furnace two-stage integrated control module
and the “FURNACE” terminal strip on the fossil fuel control
board.
*MEC96 furnaces of the same model and size to be twinned.
Twinning allows simultaneous operation of two furnaces
and forces the indoor blower motors of each furnace to
operate synchronously into a common duct system. Using
with no external kits or parts.
· The staging DIP switches and speed tap DIP switches
must be set the same on both furnaces.
