To determine total external duct static pressure, proceed as fol-
lows;
1. W ith clean filters in the furnace, use a draft gauge (inclined
manometer) to measure the static pressure of the return
duct at the inlet of the furnace. (Negative Pressure)
2. M easure the static pressure of the supply duct. (Positive
Pressure)
3. The difference between the two numbers is .4” w.c.
Example:
static reading from return duct = -.1" w.c.
static reading from supply duct = .3" w.c.
total external static pressure on this system = .4" w.c.
NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read di-
rectly on the manometer if so desired. If an air conditioner coil or
Electronic Air Cleaner is used in conjunction with the furnace, the
readings must also include theses components, as shown in the
following drawing.
4. Consult proper tables for the quantity of air.
If the total external static pressure exceeds the maximum listed
on the furnace rating plate, check for closed dampers, registers,
undersized and/ or oversized poorly laid out duct work.

BURNER FLAM E
The burner flames should be inspected with the burner compart-
ment door installed. Flames should be stable, quiet, soft, and blue
(dust may cause orange tips but they must not be yellow). Flames
should extend directly outward from the burners without curling,
floating, or lifting off. Flames must not impinge on the sides of the
heat exchanger firing tubes.

ESCRIPTION
GENERAL
A number of safety circuits are employed to ensure safe and proper
furnace operation. These circuits serve to control any potential
safety hazards and serve as inputs in the monitoring and diagno-
sis of abnormal function. These circuits are continuously moni-
tored during furnace operation by the integrated control module.
INTEGRATED CONTROL M ODULE
The integrated control module is an electronic device which con-
trols all furnace operations. Responding to the thermostat, the
module initiates and controls normal furnace operation, and moni-
tors and addresses all safety circuits. If a potential safety con-
cern is detected, the module will take the necessary precautions
and provide diagnostic information through an LED.
PRIM ARY LIM IT
The primary limit control is located on the partition panel and
monitors heat exchanger compartment temperatures. It is an au-
tomatic reset, temperature sensor. The limit guards against the
overheating resulting from insufficient air passing over the heat
exchanger.
AUXILIARY LIM IT
The auxiliary limit control is located either on or near the circula-
tor blower and monitors heat exchanger compartment tempera-
tures. The control is an automatic reset, temperature sensor. It
guards against overheating resulting from insufficient air pass-
ing over the heat exchanger. The auxiliary limit control is suitable
for both horizontal right and horizontal left installations. Regard-
less of airflow direction, it does not need to be relocated.
ROLLOUT LIM ITS
The rollout limit controls are mounted on the burner/ manifold
assembly and monitor the burner flame. They are manual-reset,
