The furnace integrated control module is equipped with line
voltage accessory terminals for controlling power to an optional
field-supplied humidifier and/or electronic air cleaner.

The accessory load specifications are as follows:
Humidifier
1.0 Amp maximum at 120 VAC
Electronic Air Cleaner
1.0 Amp maximum at 120 VAC
Turn OFF power to the furnace before installing any accesso-
ries. Follow the humidifier or air cleaner manufacturers’ in-
structions for locating, mounting, grounding, and controlling
these accessories. Accessory wiring connections are to be
made through the 1/4" quick connect terminals provided on the
furnace integrated control module. The humidifier and elec-
tronic air cleaner hot terminals are identified as HUM and EAC.
The humidifier and electronic air cleaner neutral terminals are
identified as NEUTRAL. All field wiring must conform to appli-
cable codes. Connections should be made as shown.

A 5" long brown wire in the wire harness at the low fire pressure
switch provides 24 VAC humidifier control. This wire is pow-
ered any time the pressure switch is closed. To connect 24
VAC HUM, connect the 24 VAC line of the humidifier to the 5”
brown wire. The connection can be made by either stripping
the wire and using a wire nut or by using a field supplied quick
connect terminal. The wiring must conform to all local and
national codes. Connect the COM side of the humidifier to the
C terminal on the furnace control board (or to the COM side of
the 24 VAC transformer). Do not connect 115V humidifier to
these terminals.

Inlet Gas Supply Pressure
NOTE: Adjusting the minimum supply pressure below the limits
in the above table could lead to unreliable ignition. Gas input to
the burners must not exceed the rated input shown on the
rating plate. Overfiring of the furnace can result in premature
heat exchanger failure. Gas pressures in excess of 13 inches
water column can also cause permanent damage to the gas
valve.
