AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

For proper air distribution, the supply duct

system must be designed so that the static

pressure measured external to the furnace

does not exceed the listed static pressure

rating shown on the furnace rating plate.

DUCTINSTALLATION

Required floor, ceiling, and roof cut-out open-

ings must be carefully located to avoid mis-

alignment of the furnace (see Figures 6 & 7).

Installation procedures are suggested for typi-

cal furnace installations and need not be fol-

lowed in the exact listed sequence.

Three typical distribution systems are illus-

trated in Figure 2. Location, size, and number

of registers should be selected on the basis of

best air distribution and floor plan of the home.

Provisions must be made for adequate supply

of air for combustion and ventilation. For

United States installations, the adequacy of

air provisions can be determined by consulting

the current version of the National Fuel Gas

Code (ANSI Z223.1/NPFA-54). For Canadian

installations, requirements are specified in the

National Standard of Canada (CAN/CGA

B149.1 & .2). Consult local codes for special

requirements.

bend the duct tabs and secure them directly

to the duct.

4. At Area “B”, bend the duct tabs up and back

over, around the duct connector, (See

Step 3).

NOTE: If the furnace is operated without

adequate air for combustion and ventilation, it

may not perform properly. Furnace

components may be strained by high

temperature and could fail prematurely.

5. Fold/form the duct flap against the side of the

duct connector and attach as shown, (See

Step 4). Use three (3) staples (minimum) on

each duct flap OR, if a 2X block/joist is not

provided, use two (2) sheet metal screws

(minimum) on each duct flap. An alternate

attachment method is acceptable, as long

as the plenum is securely attached.

6. Tape the duct flap edges with an approved

tape for a leak-free joint.

WARNING:

General

Thissectionspecifiesinstallationrequirements

for 2-pipe combustion air piping. The capacity

table provided in this section applies to the

maximum equivalent lengths of vent and

combustion air intake pipe.

These condensing furnaces are classified as

"Category IV" appliances, which require

special venting materials and installation

procedures. Category IV appliances operate

with positive vent pressure and therefore

require vent systems which are thoroughly

sealed. They also produce combustion

condensate, which is slightly acidic and can

cause severe corrosion of ordinary venting

materials. Furnace operation can be adversely

affected by restrictive vent and combustion

air piping. Therefore, vent and combustion air

piping lengths must conform completely to the

requirements of Table 6.

6. Close fireplace dampers.

7. Test for spillage from draft hood

equipped appliance at the draft

hoodreliefopeningafter5minutes

of main burner operation. Use the

flame of a match or candle.

8. If improper venting is observed

during any of the above tests, the

ventingsystemmustbecorrected

in accordance with the National

FuelGasCode,ANSIZ223.1/NFPA

54and/orCSAB149.1,NaturalGas

and Propane Installation Codes.

9. After it has been determined that

each appliance connected to the

venting system properly vents

when tested as outlined above,

return doors, windows, exhaust

fans, fireplace dampers and any

other gas burning appliance to

their previous conditions of use.

The furnace must be vented to the outdoors.

WARNING:

Location of Outdoor Terminations

Vent and combustion air intake terminations

must be located to ensure proper furnace

operation and to conform to applicable codes.

Figure 15 illustrates necessary distances from

the vent termination to windows and building

air intakes. In Canada, the Canadian Fuel

Gas Code takes precedence over these

instructions. Specifically, all minimum

distance requirements with respect to

termination of the vent piping listed below.

Cement and primer must conform to ATSM

Standard D2564 for PVC and Standard D2235

for ABS. When joining PVC piping to ABS, use

an appropriate solvent cement and procedure

perthepipingmanufacturer'srecommendation

and ASTM Standard D3138.

Vent Pipe Installation

Pipe Routing and Support

Route piping as directly as possible between

the furnace and the outdoors and remember

that routing affects pipe length limitations per

Table 6. Locate the combustion air intake and

the vent exhaust in the same atmospheric

pressure zone - i.e. both must exit the building

though the same portion of exterior wall or

roof. Vent piping must be sloped upwards not

less than 1/4" per foot in the direction from the

furnace to the terminal. This is to ensure that

any condensate flows back to the furnace

where it can be disposed of through the

condensate disposal system.

The following list is a summary of vent terminal

location requirements:

1. The termination must be 12 inches above

snow level or grade level whichever is

higher. See Figure 18 for alternate method

to achieve 12" above snow level.

2. The minimum distance for a direct vent

(2-pipe) installation from any door,

openable window, or air gravity inlet is 1 ft.

below, 1 ft. horizontally, or 1 ft. above.

3. The vent termination shall be a minimum of

3 ft. above any forced air inlet within 10 ft.

4. The vent termination shall be located at

least 4 ft. horizontally from any electric

meter, gas meter, regulator and any relief

equipment. These distances apply ONLY

to U.S. installations. In Canada, the Cana-

dian Fuel Gas Code takes precedence.

or building surfaces, which may be com-

promised or damaged by condensation.

Do not install the vent terminal such that

exhaust is directed into window wells,

stairwells, under decks or into alcoves or

similar recessed areas, and do not termi-

nate above any public walkways.

Note that a combustion air intake must be

provided with an elbow opening downward.

When the vent pipe must exit an exterior wall

close to the grade or expected snow level, a

riser should be provided as shown in Figure 18.

Insulation is required to prevent freezing of this

section of pipe.

Vertical Venting

For vertical venting, either the configuration

shown in Figure 20 or the Concentric Vent

Termination Kit may be used. Vertical venting is

one of the shortest routing methods when

piping vents for furnaces. The M3 furnace

operates trouble-free when the furnace is in-

stalled with a shorter vent.

For horizontal venting, either the Horizontal

Exterior Vent Mounting Kit or the Concentric

Vent Termination Kit may be used (See Table

12).

• The inlet for the combustion intake pipe must

beextendedatleastonefootabovetheroofline

or snow accumulation level.

• Theoutletoftheventmustbeextendedatleast

10 inches above the inlet of the combustion air

intake pipe.

• The vent as well as the combustion air intake

pipe should be located on the same side of the

roof. Both pipes must not be closer than 5

inches apart. They should not be separated

more than 36 inches.

The roof penetration must be properly flashed

and waterproofed with a plumbing roof boot or

equivalent flashing. Termination spacing re-

quirements from the roof and from each other

must be per Figure 20.

For Canadian installations please refer to the

Canadian Installation Code (CAN/CGA-B149.1

or 2) and/or local codes.

The Horizontal Exterior Vent Mounting Kit con-

sists of two face plates and an insulating gas-

ket to seal the exterior surface. A hole sized

closely to the pipe diameter must first be cut

through the wall. A short length of pipe is then

cut such that it can penetrate the wall and be

held in place by closely fitting standard cou-

plings. The face plates are retained on both

sides of the wall by the couplings, and the

gasket is retained against the wall by the outer

face plate. Face plates must be fastened to the

wall and the outside one must be flashed as

appropriate to prevent entry of water.

Concentric Vent Termination

A concentric vent termination is approved for

use with these furnaces (See Table 12). For

proper installation of the concentric vent termi-

nation, follow the installation instructions pro-

vided with the kit.

When the above kits are not used the following

steps are required:

1. Check the hole size cut through the exte-

rior wall. Insure that the hole diameter is

less than the diameter of the couplings to

be used.

NOTE: Industry research studies indicate that

when condensate is routed to an active drain,

household detergents, etc., buffer its acidity. If

the drain is not actively used or if codes require,

obtain a neutralizer kit (See Table 12). Proper

drains and connections to the condensate tub-

ing are required as NORDYNE cannot be held

responsible for water leakage which occurs

due to loose hose connections or improperly

sealed drain line pipes.

A drip leg should be installed in the vertical pipe

run to the unit. Table 7 lists gas flow capacities

for standard pipe sizes as a function of length

in typical applications based on nominal pres-

sure drop in the line.

NOTE: Gas piping must not be run in or through

air ducts, gas vents, etc.

Compounds used on threaded joints of gas

piping must be resistant to the actions of lique-

fied petroleum gases.

GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING

General

This furnace is equipped for bottom, left, or

right side gas entry. Typical gas service hook-

ups are shown in Figure 22. When making the

gas connection provide clearance between the

gas supply line and the entry hole in the furnace

casing to avoid unwanted noise and/or damage

to the furnace.

CAUTION:

Do not use matches, lighters, candles,

from the burner box.

7. Remove supply gas piping from the gas

valve.

8. Carefully remove the burner assembly fas-

teners and remove the burner assembly

from the appliance. Keep the fasteners that

were removed. Note that the burner box may

have hooks near the top and on the right and

left hand sides. To remove this type of burner

box, lift the burner box upwards and then

remove the box from the unit.

To Convert the Unit to the Alternate Gas

1. Remove the orifice bag from the manifold

of the unit.

2. Install the appropriate gas burner orifices

into the gas manifold. Remember if in-

stalling at altitudes above 4,000 feet to

install the proper orifices, shown in Table

8. When installing the new orifices, DO

NOT use pipe joint compound on the

orifice threads. Screw the orifices into the

manifold by hand until snug to eliminate

cross threading, then tighten with a

wrench. Before installing an orifice, check

the face or side of the orifice for the drill

number to ensure that it is the appropriate

size.

3. For the conversion to the alternate fuel,

the gas valve regulator cap must be turned

over, as shown in Figure 23. You will

unscrew the cap and reinstall for your in-

stallation. Afterreinstallingthecap,youwill

be able to read "NAT" for the conversion to

natural gas or "LP for the conversion to LP

gas.

To Remove the Burner Orifices:

1. Remove the four (4) fasteners that secure

the gas manifold to the burner box, as

shown in Figure 25. Carefully remove the

gas manifold assembly from the burner

box. Note that the gas manifold assembly

consists of the gas valve, the gas manifold,

and the orifices.

Pressure Gauge Installation

NOTE: For natural gas installations, the in-

coming gas line pressure at the gas valve inlet

must be between 4.5” WC and 10.0” WC. For

LP gas installations, the incoming gas line pres-

sure at the gas valve inlet must be between

11.0” WC and 14.0” WC. This pressure can be

checked at the inlet end of the gas valve using

a pressure gauge or U-tube manometer, which

must be installed according to the

manufacturer’s supplied instructions.

General

Electrical connections must be made in accor-

dance with all applicable local codes and ordi-

nances, and with the current revision of the

National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA 70).

For Canadian installations electrical connec-

tions and grounding must be done in accor-

dance with the current Canadian Electrical

Code (CSA C22.1 Part 1) and/or local codes. If

any of the original wire as supplied with the

furnace must be replaced, it must be replaced

with wire having a minimum temperature rating

of 105°C. Refer to the furnace nameplate and

Table 8 for electrical requirements.

Manifold Pressure

The gas valve for the M3 furnace series is

equipped with a special conversion pres-

sure regulator cap. The pressure regulator

cap is factory set. If the gas valve is con-

verted from natural gas to propane gas or

vise versa, the manifold pressure of the gas

valve will be set to pressure listed in Table 9.

Line Voltage Wiring

The line voltage (115 volt) to the furnace must

be supplied from a dedicated branch circuit

containing the correct fuse or circuit breaker

for the furnace. See Table 10. An electrical

switch should be readily accessible from and

within sight of the furnace. See the Wiring

Diagram label in the furnace for more details.

COMPLETING THE CONVERSION

1. Affix the gas valve conversion label found

in the package with the orifices to the unit

rating plate.

2. Run the appliance through a complete

cycle to assure proper operation.

NOTE: Proper line voltage polarity must be

maintained in order for the control system to

operate correctly. Verify that the incoming neu-

tral line is connected to the white wire and the

incoming "hot" line is connected to the black

wire in the furnace junction box. The furnace will

not operate unless polarity and ground are

properly connected. See Figure 26.

Low Voltage Wiring

Install the thermostat per the manufacturer's

instructions. The low voltage (24 volt) connec-

tions from the thermostat are made at the

terminalstriponthecontrolboardinthefurnace.

See Figure 28 for the proper connections for

heating only (two-wire) and heating/cooling

(four-wire) applications. The recommended

START-UPANDADJUSTMENTS

General

Prior to start-up, verify that:

6. The gas line has been purged and all

connections are leak tight.

1. The line voltage power leads are securely

connected, that the polarity of the con-

nections is correct, and that the furnace

is properly grounded.

Start-Up Procedure

1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.

2. Close the disconnect(s) to provide line

voltage to the furnace.

2. The thermostat wires (R, W, Y, and G) are

securely connected to the correct leads

on the terminal strip of the circuit board.

3. Follow the procedures given on the oper-

ating instructions label attached to the

furnace.

3. The natural gas line service pressure must

not exceed 10.0 in. water column (0.36

psig), and must not be less than 4.5 in.

water column (0.16 psig). For LP gas the

line service pressure must not exceed 14

in. water column (0.51 psig), and must not

be less than 11.0 in. W.C. (0.40 psig).

4. Set the thermostat above room tempera-

ture and verify the sequence of operation.

(See the SEQUENCE OF OPERATION.)

5. After the furnace has run for approximately

five minutes, set the thermostat below room

temperature and verify steps 9 - 11 of the

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION.

6. See the "High Altitude Derate" section for

water column for use with LP gas.

Shut Down Procedure

In the event that the furnace must be shut down,

follow this procedure:

1. Set the room thermostat to "OFF" or its

lowest temperature setting.

Verifying and Adjusting Temperature Rise

Verify that the temperature rise through the

furnace is within the range specified on the fur-

naceratingplate. Temperaturerisesoutsidethe

specified range could result in premature heat

exchangerfailure.

2. Turn OFF the main gas supply to the appli-

ance at the manual valve outside of the

appliancecasing.

3. Remove the control access panel / lou-

vered door.

Place thermometers in the return and supply

air stream as close to the furnace as possible.

The thermometer on the supply air side must

be shielded from direct radiation from the heat

exchanger to avoid false readings. Adjust all

registers and duct dampers to the desired

position and run the furnace for fifteen minutes

before taking any temperature readings. The

temperature rise is the difference between the

supply and return air temperatures.

4. Move the appliance gas valve lever/knob

to the “OFF” position.

5. Turn OFF the electrical power to the

appliance.

Verifying Firing Rate

The firing rate must be verified for each instal-

lation to prevent over-firing the furnace.

NOTE: The firing rate must not exceed the

rate shown on the furnace rating plate. At

altitudes above 4000 ft. it must not exceed

that on the rating plate less 4% for each

1000 ft.

For typical duct systems, the temperature rise

will fall within the range specified on the rating

plate with the blower speed at the factory

recommended setting. If the temperature rise

measured is outside the range specified, it may

be necessary to change the blower speed.

Lower blower speeds will increase the tem-

perature rise and higher blower speeds will

decrease the temperature rise.

Use the following procedure to determine the

firing rate:

1. Shut off all other gas fired appliances.

2. Start the furnace and allow it to run for at

least three minutes.

The furnace is equipped with a multispeed

motor. Heating and cooling speed selection is

made by moving the leads on the integrated

control board located in the furnace. The wiring

diagram on the furnace and Figure 30 show the

speed taps for adjusting motor speed.

3. Measure the time (in seconds) required for

the gas meter to complete one revolution.

4. Convert the time per revolution to cubic

feet of gas per hour using Table 11.

Ifitisdesiredthatthebloweroperateatthesame

speed for heating and cooling, tape off the

terminal of the unused blower wire. Install the

jumper wire, found in the plastic instruction bag,

across the HEAT and COOL taps on the control

board. Reconnect the desired blower tap to the

piggyback quick connect.

5. Multiply the gas flow rate in cubic feet per

hour by the heating value of the gas in Btu

per cubic foot to obtain the firing rate in

Btuh. Example:

•

Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter

with a 1 cubic foot dial = 60 seconds.

From Table 11 read 60 cubic feet per

hour of gas.

Heating value of the gas (obtained

from gas supplier) = 1000 Btu per

cubic foot.

The blower control is designed to start the

circulating air blower 30 seconds after the gas

valve is opened. The blower control is factory

wired to turn the blower motor off 120 seconds

•

Firing rate = 1000 x 60 = 60,000 Btuh.

Gas Valve – The gas valve controls the flow of

gas to the burners. When the gas valve is

energized it automatically opens and regulates

the gas pressure in the manifold.

WARNING:

Holesintheventpipeorheatexchanger

can cause products of combustion to

enter the occupied space. Replace the

ventpipeorheatexchangerifleaksare

found. Failure to prevent products of

combustion from being circulated into

the occupied space can crate poten-

tially hazardous conditions, including

carbonmonoxidepoisoning,thatcould

result in personal injury or death.

Pressure Switch – The pressure switch veri-

fies that the inducer is drawing the combustion

gasesthroughtheheatexchanger. Italsosenses

a blocked condensate drain condition.

Deck Limit Switch (Auxiliary Limit) – The

deck limit protects the furnace filter tempera-

ture from overheating when the motor has

malfunctioned. If the deck switch opens, the

power for the furnace will shut down (see

Figure 29).

Combustion Air and Vent System

Check the combustion air and vent pipe to

ensure that it is not damaged, corroded or

blocked by debris. Any damaged section of

vent pipe must be replaced, and any obstruc-

tion or blockage must be removed prior to

operating the furnace.

Supply Air Limit Switch – The supply air limit

switch prevents the air temperature leaving the

furnace from exceeding the maximum outlet air

temperature.

Vent Safety Switch – The vent safety switch

shuts the furnace down if the outlet flue gas

temperature increases above 145°F. This

switch protects the plastic flue system and the

inducer from over-temperature conditions.

Air Filter

An air filter is supplied with the furnace as

shipped from the factory. Filters should be

changed or cleaned monthly during the heating

season. New or newly renovated homes may

require more frequent changing until the con-

struction dust has been removed.

Flame Roll-Out Switch – This switch pro-

vides flame roll-out protection to the furnace

and combustion air inlet pipe.

• Do not store gasoline or any other

flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of the furnace.

WARNING:

Never operate the furnace without a

filterinplace. Dustandlintinthereturn

air can build up on internal compo-

nents, resulting in loss of efficiency,

equipmentdamage, andpossiblefire.

• Change or replace the air filters monthly

during any period when the circulating

blower is operating regularly.

• Always replace the doors on the furnace

after servicing. Do not operate the furnace

without all doors and covers in place.

Lubrication

The bearings in the circulating air blower mo-

tors are pre-lubricated and sealed at the fac-

tory. No further oiling of the bearings is required

for the life of the motor.

• Avoidoperatingthefurnacewhenwindows

and doors are open.

• Be sure that the thermostat is properly

installed and is not being affected by

drafts or heat from lamps or other

appliances.

Condensate Drain Assembly

Be sure the condensate lines are free and open

(i.e. avoid kinking hoses). Also make sure all

hose clamps are tight to avoid drawing air into

the system.

Sequence of Operation

Operating sequences for the heating, cooling,

and fan modes are described below. Refer to

the wiring diagrams (Figures 30) and the low

voltage field wiring diagram (Figure 26) for

more details.

Blower Compartment

The blower compartment should be cleaned

monthly during the heating and cooling sea-

sons to remove any dirt and lint that may have

accumulated in the compartment or on the

blower and motor. Dirt and lint can create

excessive loads on the motor resulting in higher

than normal operating temperatures and short-

ened service life.

Heating Mode:

1. On a call for heat the thermostat closes,

applying 24 VAC to the W terminal on the

control board.

2. The control board checks for continuity

on the 24 VAC limit control circuit (over-

temperature limit switch, flame rollout

switches and blocked vent switch in se-

ries). If an open limit is detected the con-

trol board will energize the inducer and

the conditioned air blower. All other sys-

tem functions will be inoperable until the

limit circuit closes. While the limit is open,

the red LED will pulse at a rate of 1 blink

per unit time.

3. The furnace control checks for continuity

across the pressure switch (24 VAC). If

the pressure switch is closed the heat

mode sequence will not continue. If it

remains closed for 10 seconds the red

LED will blink 3 times repetitively until the

fault condition clears.

Heat Exchanger and Burner Maintenance

The furnace should operate for many years

without excessive soot buildup in the flue pas-

sageways, however, the flue passageways,

the vent system, and the burners should be

inspected and cleaned (if required) by a quali-

fied service technician annually to ensure con-

tinued safe operation. Particular attention must

be given to identify deterioration from corrosion

or other sources.

SYSTEMOPERATION

INFORMATION

GENERAL

Proper maintenance is most important to

achieve the best performance from a

furnace. Follow these instructions for years

of safe, trouble free operation.

4. The inducer is energized.

5. The pressure switch will close. If the

pressure switch does not close after 10

seconds the fault LED will blink 2 times

repetitively and the inducer will continue

to run until the switch is closed.

6. The inducer will pre-purge for 30 seconds

and then the igniter will start its warm-up

as follows:

• Do not place combustible materials on or

against the furnace cabinet or the vent pipe.

InitialPowerup:After30secondsofigniter

warm-up the gas valve (24 VAC) will then

open. The igniter circuit will stay ener-

gized for 3 seconds after the gas valve

opens.

Cooling Mode:

1. On a call for cooling the thermostat closes,

applying 24 VAC to the G and Y terminals

on the furnace control. This closes the

compressorcontactor.

After Initial Power up: The control has a

programmed adaptive ignition feature

which varies the warm-up period as fol-

lows:Ifignitionissuccessfulthewarm-upis

reducedby3-secondsoneachsubsequent

call for heat until ignition failure occurs.

Upon ignition failure, the warm-up is in-

creased by 3-seconds on the next try. If

successful, the timing remains fixed at this

level. In general, whenever ignition failure

occursthewarm-upintervalisincreasedby

3-seconds on the next try. And if success-

ful, it remains there. Minimum and maxi-

mum warm-up time limits are set at 6 and

54-seconds, respectively.

2. The furnace control energizes the circu-

lating blower (115 VAC) on the cooling

speed.

3. When the thermostat is satisfied, the G

and Y terminals on the control board are

de-energized opening the compressor

contactor.

4. The circulating air blower is de-energized

after a 90-second delay.

Fan Mode:

1. On a call for fan operation, the thermostat

applies 24 VAC to the G terminal on the

furnace control board.

2. The circulating air blower is energized

immediately on the heating speed.

3. If the furnace is operated in the continu-

ous ON position at the thermostat and is

then switched to AUTO, the circulating

blower will operate for a specified delay

(factory set at 120 seconds).

7. The furnace control must prove flame via

the flame sensor 5 seconds after the gas

valve opens. If flame is sensed, all burn-

ers are on and the ignitor cools off. If no

flame is sensed, the gas valve closes

immediately and the inducer continues to

run. A second trial for ignition (step 6)

begins if no flame is sensed. On the fifth

tryforignition, thefurnacecontrolislocked

out and the red LED will blink 4 times

repetitively. The thermostat must be

opened for at least ten seconds to reset

the furnace control after a lock out. Oth-

erwise, the furnace will attempt another

ignition sequence in 1 hour.

Furnace Fails to Operate

If the furnace does not operate check the

following:

1. Is the thermostat operating properly?

2. Is the front door in place?

3. Is the furnace disconnect closed?

4. Has the circuit breaker tripped or the

control board fuse burned open?

5. Is the gas turned on?

6. Are any manual reset switches open?

7. Is the filter dirty or plugged?

8. Is the flame sensor coated? (Remove

and clean with emery cloth.)

8. The furnace control energizes the cir-

culating air blower on the heating speed

30 seconds after the gas valve circuit is

energized .

9. When the thermostat has been satisfied,

gas valve is de-energized.

9. Is the deck switch open?

10. The inducer is de-energized after a 30-

second postpurge.

11. The furnace control keeps the circulating

air blower energized for 120 seconds

(factory set) or 60, 90, or 180 seconds

(field adjustable). (See Figure 27.)

12. Abnormal conditions: If a limit opens during

operation, the inducer and circulating air

blower continue to operate. The gas valve

is de-energized immediately. The blowers

continue to operate until the limit closes.

When the limit closes the inducer blower is

de-energized immediately. The circulating

airblowercontinuestooperateforthespeci-

fied delay (factory set at 120 seconds).

If the furnace locks out after 5 attempts for

ignition, it will try again every hour if a call for

heat remains. If the inducer and circulating air

blowers are operating, and items 1 through 8

have been checked, press the red reset but-

ton on the vent safety switch. (See Figure 29.)

If the furnace operates after depressing the

reset button, contact a qualified service tech-

nician to identify and repair the problem.

If furnace still fails to operate, depress the red

reset buttons on the flame roll-out switch. If

the furnace operates after depressing the

reset button, contact a qualified service tech-

nician to identify and repair the problem.
