WARNING
ELECTROSTATIC D ISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Discharge static electricity accumulated in the body before
touching the unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect
electrical components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and ser-
vicing to protect the integrated control module from damage. By
putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same electro-
static potential, these steps will help avoid exposing the integrated
control module to electrostatic discharge. This procedure is appli-
cable to both installed and non-installed (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to the control
prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic charge to
ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnaces near the control. Any tools held in a person’s
hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution not
to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do not move
or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded objects, etc.).
