Installation - Venting for Outdoor Units 1. Do not modify or obstruct the combustion air inlet cover or the combustion blower weatherhood. 2. During the winter months, periodically clear snow from access side of unit to prevent blockage of the inlet and exhaust openings. 3. Do not add any vents other than those supplied by the manufacturer. Installation - Venting for Indoor Units Venting Methods There are three venting methods for indoor mounted units. For each method, the units can be vented horizontally through an exterior wall or vertically through the roof. Specific venting instructions are provided for each method and shown in the following pages. Construct the vent system as shown in these instructions. Refer to your unit specific submittal to determine the applicable venting option. The three venting method options are: 1) Standard Indoor Venting - uses building air for combustion - vents exhaust to outdoors - one exterior roof or wall penetration 2) Separated Combustion Concentric Venting - uses outside air for combustion - vents exhaust to outdoors - one exterior roof or wall penetration 3) Separated Combustion 2-Pipe Venting - uses outside air for combustion - vents exhaust to outdoors - two exterior roof or wall penetrations The following guidelines must be adhered to for all indoor units: 1. Venting installation must conform with local building codes. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, NSI Z223.1 or in Canada, CN/CG-149 installation codes. 2. For Standard Indoor Venting, use exhaust pipe approved for a category III appliance or single wall, 26 gauge or heavier galvanized vent pipe. The piping is required to be gas tight by NSI. 3. For Separated Combustion venting, sealed single-wall galvanized air pipe is recommended. 4. The joints must be sealed with a metallic tape or silastic suitable for temperatures up to 350ºF. 5. minimum of 12 inches of straight vent pipe is recommended after the exhaust connection and before any elbows. 6. Vertical combustion air pipes should be fitted with a tee, drip leg, and clean-out cap to prevent any moisture in the combustion air pipe from entering the unit. The drip leg should be cleaned out periodically during the heating season. 7. To reduce condensation, insulate any vent runs greater than 5 feet. 8. ll vent pipe connections should be made with at least three corrosion resistant sheet metal screws. 9. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code for additional piping guidelines. NOTE! Vent piping is supplied by others - not Greenheck. 3
Installation - Standard Indoor Venting Standard Indoor Venting uses one penetration through an exterior wall or roof for venting the flue exhaust. The combustion air is scavenged from the air inside the building (no piping required). When units are installed in tightly sealed buildings, provisions should be made to supply an adequate amount of infiltration air from the outside. The rule of thumb is that an opening of one square inch should be provided for every 1000 TUs per hour of input rating. Vent terminals must be used (one vent terminal included with each furnace). Construct the vent system as shown in the Horizontal and Vertical drawings below and reference the Vent Pipe Diameter table for the correct vent pipe diameters.

Installation - Gas Piping Gas Supply Pressure Requirements Natural: 6* to 14 in. wg LP: 11* to 14 in. wg 1. Furnaces (input 100 to 400 MH) have a single 3 4- inch, female pipe thread connection. 2. When connecting the gas supply, the length of the run must be considered in determining the pipe size to avoid excessive pressure drop. Refer to a Gas Engineer s Handbook for gas pipe capacities. 3. 6-inch drip leg should be installed in the pipe run to the unit. 4. Install an easily accessible ground joint union and a manual shut off valve (these are required by some local codes) for emergency shut off and easy servicing of the controls. 5. 1 8 inch NPT plugged tap shall be installed immediately ahead of the gas supply connection to the furnace. 6. fter gas piping is completed, carefully check all piping connections for gas leaks. Use soap solution or equivalent for testing. DO NOT use a flame or other source of ignition to check for gas leaks. 7. When leak testing pressures above 14 in. wg ( 1 2 psi), close the field installed shutoff valve, disconnect the furnace and its gas train from the gas supply line, and plug the supply line before testing. 8. When leak testing at pressures equal to or less than 14 in. wg ( 1 2 psi) close the field-installed shutoff valve to isolate the unit from the gas supply line before testing. * Falling below minimum gas pressure requirements will reduce the MH output. In turn, the unit will not be able to fully condition the space on peak heating days. If gas pressure is simply too low for requirements, we recommend the local gas company be contacted to determine if a booster pump would be feasible. From Gas Gas Cock Ground Joint Union 6 in.

Check that all gas and electrical connections are weatherized. 3. Make sure that the combustion air inlet and the combustion blower discharge are free from obstructions. 4. Inspect the unit to make sure that no damage has occurred during installation. 5. With the furnace control center access panel removed, connect a U tube manometer to the manifold pressure test port (refer to the Control Center Layout under Installation). This will be used for checking the manifold gas pressure. 6. Set the thermostat or discharge temperature controls to lowest setting. 7. Open all manual gas valves including the combination gas valve and turn power on. 8. Call for heat with the thermostat or discharge temperature controls and allow the burner to light. Greenheck duct furnaces are equipped with an automatic spark ignition system which automatically lights the burner. DO NOT attempt to light the burners manually. 9. fter the burner is lit, check to make sure that the supply blower is operating. 10. Verify that the gas controls sequence properly (see Sequence of Operation). 11. Check the manifold gas pressure (see urner djustments on following pages). 11
Start-Up - Furnace Controls Staged Temperature Controls For Energy Recovery Units without Temperature Control Package The furnace stage controls are located in the furnace control center. One control is provided for each stage of heating. The discharge temperature setting is located on the control furthest to the left. The offset and differential settings for each stage are preset at the factory; however, field-adjustments may be made to get the best control for your application. See the literature provided with the controls for further information. For Energy Recovery Units with Temperature Control Package If two-stage control is ordered with a Temperature Control Package, the controller in the unit s main control center will control the stages of heating. The temperature set point may be adjusted on the controller (See Temperature Controller IOM).

Set the unit to high fire by setting the discharge Solenoid temperature control or thermostat to its maximum setting. If the ambient temperature is warm, the unit may not stay at high fire. 2. Measure the burner manifold pressure at the manifold pressure test port (see Control Center Layout on page 3) using a U tube manometer. The pressure on high fire should be 3.5 in. wg for natural gas and 10 in. wg for LP gas. To change the pressure, adjust the regulator adjustment screw on the combination gas valve. Clockwise rotation will decrease the gas pressure and counter clockwise rotation will increase the gas pressure. 3. Set the unit to low fire by removing the wire from the high fire terminal on the combination gas valve. Clockwise rotation will decrease the gas pressure and counter clockwise rotation will increase the gas pressure. 4. The manifold pressure on low fire for natural gas should be 0.88 in. wg and 2.5 in. wg for LP gas. To change the pressure, use the low fire adjustment screw on the combination gas valve.

Sequence of Operation Sequence of Operation Power-up/Standby fter power is supplied to the unit: 1. The ignition control will reset and perform a selfcheck routine. 2. The diagnostic LED will flash for up to four seconds. 3. The ignition control will begin scanning the thermostats. Heat Mode When the thermostat or discharge temperature controls call for heat: 1. The ignition control will check that the pressure switch for the combustion blower is open. 2. The combustion blower will be energized and the 15-second pre-purge begins. 3. The gas valve is energized and the ignitor will spark for up to 10 seconds. Natural Gas - If a flame is not sensed during the trial for ignition, two additional trials will be attempted before going into lockout for one hour. LP Gas - If a flame is not sensed during the trial for ignition, the control will go into lockout for one hour. 4. When a flame is sensed, sparking stops immediately. The gas valve and combustion blower remain energized. 5a. Two-stage control: The burner will light at 100% fire and remain there for 10 seconds. The thermostat will then operate the burners at high or low fire, depending on the demand for heat. 5b. Electronic Modulation - The burner will light at 100% fire and remain there for 10 seconds. The main burner gas valve will then modulate from 100% down to 50% as needed. If the burner remains on low fire for an extended period of time, the burner will shut off and re-light as necessary. 6. The ignition control constantly monitors the thermostat, pressure switch, and burner flame to assure proper operation. 7. When the thermostat or discharge temperature controls are satisfied, the main valve is deenergized and the combustion blower shuts off following a 30-second post-purge period. Recovery from Lockout The ignition control will automatically reset after 1 hour if the thermostat is still calling for heat. Prior to 1 hour, a manual reset (cycle power to unit) is required. The thermostat may be reset or the power interrupted for a period of 5 seconds. See page 7 for Ignition Control Diagnostics.

Troubleshooting Ignition Control Diagnostic LED During normal operation, the LED is shut off. The LED will be on or flashing during a fault condition. If a fault condition is occurring, turn the unit off and on again. If the LED is still flashing, refer to the following troubleshooting section. LED Indication Error Mode Steady on Internal control failure 1 flash ir flow fault 2 flashes Flame with no call for heat 3 flashes Ignition lockout irflow Fault (1 Flash) n airflow fault may occur for the following reasons: n airflow switch continually monitors the combustion airflow during an ignition sequence. During the initial call for heat, if the pressure switch contacts are in the closed position for 30 seconds without an output to the combustion blower, an airflow fault will be declared. The control will remain in this mode with the combustion blower off. fter the combustion blower output (L1 and IND) is energized and the airflow switch remains open for more than 30 seconds, an airflow fault will be declared. The control will stay in this mode with the combustion blower on, waiting for the airflow switch to close. If the airflow signal is lost while the burner is firing, the control will immediately de-energize the gas valve and the combustion blower will remain on. If the call for heat remains, the control will wait for proper airflow to return. If proper airflow is not detected after 30 seconds, an airflow fault will be declared. If proper airflow is detected at any time, a normal ignition sequence will begin. Once proper airflow is detected, the normal Sequence Of Operation for ignition will follow (see page 4). Flame Fault (2 Flashes) If the main valve fails to close completely and maintains a flame, the full-time flame sense circuit will detect it and energize the combustion blower. Should the main valve later close completely and remove the flame signal, the combustion blower will be de-energized. Ignition Lockout (3 Flashes) Possible Cause Manual gas valve not open ir in the gas line Supply gas pressure too high or too low Loose wire connections No spark: Solution Open manual valve leed gas line Check that supply pressure is between 6 in. wg and 14 in. wg for natural gas and 11 in. wg and 14 in. wg for LP. Check for tight wire connections. a. Transformer failure a. Check primary and secondary voltages of transformer. Replace if necessary. b. Spark electrode b. Ensure spark gap is 1 8 in. and ceramic insulator is not cracked. Replace if necessary. Electrode is NOT field-adjustable. c. Spark cable shorted to ground c. Replace spark cable d. Ignition controller not grounded d. Check that the ignition controller is grounded to the furnace control center. High limit control tripped Check unit airflow and manifold pressure. Faulty combination gas valve If 24 volts is measured between terminals MV and common, but valve remains closed, replace valve. Faulty ignition control Check diagnostic LED for steady on and for voltage between V1 and V2. If no voltage is present, replace ignition control. 15
Routine Maintenance CUTION!!! Turn off all gas and electrical power to the unit before performing any maintenance or service operations to this unit. Combustion lower Motor Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning. Cleaning should be limited to exterior surfaces only. Removing dust and grease build-up on the motor housing assures proper motor cooling. Use caution and do not allow water or solvents to enter the motor or bearings. Under no circumstances should motors or bearings be sprayed with steam, water or solvents. The motor bearings are pre-lubricated and sealed, requiring no further lubrication. urners and Orifices efore each heating season, examine the burners and gas orifices to make sure they are clear of any debris such as spider webs, etc. Clean burner as follows: Turn off both electrical and gas supplies to the unit. Disconnect union between manifold and gas valve. Remove manifold and burner assembly. Inspect and clean orifices and burners as necessary. void using any hard or sharp instruments which could cause damage to the orifices or burners. - Remove any soot deposits from the burner with a wire brush. - Clean the ports with an aerosol degreaser or compressed air. - Wipe the inside of the burner clean. Cleaning the burner with a degreaser will slow the future buildup of dirt. efore reinstalling the burner assembly, look down the heat exchanger tubes to make sure they are clear of any debris. Reinstall manifold and burner assembly, reconnect wire leads, and gas supply piping. Turn on the electrical power and gas supply. Follow the start-up procedure to light the burners and verify proper operation. Heat Exchanger The heat exchanger should be checked annually for cracks and discoloration of the tubes. If a crack is detected, the heat exchanger should be replaced before the unit is put back into operation. If the tubes are dark gray, airflow across the heat exchanger should be checked to make sure the blower is operating properly. Flue Collector ox The flue passageway and flue collector box should be inspected prior to each heating season and cleared of any debris. Electrical Wiring The electrical wiring should be checked annually for loose connections or wiring deterioration.
