GAS HEAT MODELS
Pre-Start Checks:
 • 
When starting up these units, it is imperative 
that ALL gas fi ttings within the unit (in addition 
to the fi eld installed gas connections) are leak 
checked with a soap solution as part of the unit 
commissioning process.  The heat section must 
be fi red when checking the joints on the manifold 
side of the gas valve.  If any leaks are detected, 
the leaks must be repaired immediately and all 
joints rechecked.
 • 
Verify wiring inside the burner compartment to 
insure the wiring/terminals are tight and securely 
connected to the components, such as the ignition 
control, fl ame sensor, gas valve, rollout switches 
and igniter.
 • 
The gas heat start up sequence begins with a 30 
second prepurge.  The next step in the sequence 
is the closure of the air proving switch. The heat 
section has a combustion air-proving switch.  
This switch must close before the ignition se-
quence can initiate.  If the air-proving switch is 
closed after the 30 second prepurge the ignition 
control will energize the spark igniter and open 
the gas valve.
 • 
The furnace ignition control uses fl ame rectifi -
cation as verifi cation of burner operation.  The 
minimum allowable fl ame current for operation 
is 0.7 dc microamps.
 • 
If the furnace ignition control does not prove 
fl ame in 7 seconds, it will turn off the spark signal 
and close the gas valve.  It will wait 30 seconds 
and then initiate a second ignition sequence.  If 
fl ame is not proven during the second 7 second 
trial for ignition the control will turn off the spark 
signal, close the gas valve, wait 30 seconds and 
initiate a third ignition sequence.  If fl ame recti-
fi cation is not proven on the third try, the ignition 
control will lock out.
 • 
The heat section has two roll out switches mount-
ed above the burners.  The purpose of the roll 
out switch is to protect the gas heat section from 
fl ame roll out, fl ame burning outside the heat 
exchanger.  A restriction in the heat exchanger 
or breach in the fl ue passages could result in a 
roll out situation.  The roll out switch is a manual 
reset device.  
 • 
The unit has two high temperature limit switches.  
One located at the heat exchanger vestibule panel 
and the other located in the area of the heat ex-
changer return bend.  These limits are automatic 
reset devices.  If the limit opens the ignition 
control will de-energize the gas valve.  On staged 
gas heat, as soon as the limit closes the ignition 
control will reinitiate the ignition sequence.  If the 
limit opens on a modulating gas heat section the 
Unit Controller will lockout the heat section.
 • 
The control circuit is tested in the factory to insure 
that all of these steps are followed, however, natu-
ral gas is not actually introduced to the system in 
the plant; nitrogen is used in its place.
Post Start Checks:
When a signal is received at the gas heat control mod-
ule from the Unit Controller, verify:
 • 
Combustion blower starts and runs for 30 seconds 
before the spark is initiated.
 • 
Spark igniter sparks.
 • 
Gas valve opens.
 • 
Burners light from right to left, in a 2.5 second 
time frame; that each one lights in sequential order 
from right to left; and establishes stable fl ame im-
mediately upon ignition.
 • 
Check for gas leaks in the unit piping as well as 
the supply piping.
 • 
Check for correct manifold gas pressures. See 
“Manifold Gas Pressure Adjustment” in this Sec-
tion.
