TROUBLESHOOTING INTEGRATED FURNACE Failure to read and follow all instructions carefully before installing or operating this control, could cause personal injury and/ or property damage. 50A55 INTEGRATED FURNACE Qualified Serviceman s Troubleshooting Guide TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE If the light on the module is on continuously, the fault is likely to be internal to the module. To make sure, interrupt line or 24 volt thermostat power for a few seconds and then restore. If internal fault is indicated again, and flame sensor is not shorted to ground, replace control. A flashing light indicates the problem is most likely in the external components or wiring. Proceed as follows: Turn power off before any troubleshooting or servicing begins. Line voltage (120 VAC) could be present on the surface of the ignitor, if the system is not correctly wired. Such voltage can cause serious injury or death. The following steps must be performed first before any troubleshooting begins. 1) Disconnect electric power to system at main fuse or circuit breaker. 2) Visually inspect equipment for apparent damage. wiring for loose connections. 3) for proper grounding and reversed polarity. A. continuity for C terminal on module to electrical service ground and connection at the furnace junction box. If ground connection is open, check module ground connection and the electrical service ground connection. Repair and retest. B. Re-connect electric power to system. C. for voltage between the line neutral terminal and furnace ground. If voltage exists, the main power supply lines are improperly connected to the furnace (REVERSED POLARITY). Again disconnect electric power to system; then reverse incoming supply leads to furnace. Repeat step. D. Recheck system for proper If neither apparent damage, loose connection nor reversed polarity is the problem, proceed to troubleshooting chart or fault index chart that is suggested by the actual condition.
