If the flame is not detected within 2 seconds of the gas valve opening,
the gas valve is shut off and a retry operation begins. If the flame is lost
for 2 seconds during the 10-second stabilization period, the gas valve is
shut off and a retry operation begins. During a retry operation, the vent
motor starts a 15 second inter-purge and the ignitor warm-up time is
extended to 27 seconds. If the flame is established for more than 10
seconds after ignition during a retry, the control will clear the ignition
attempt (retry) counter. If three retries occur during a call for heat, the
furnace will shut down for one hour. If at the end of the one hour shut
down there is a call for heat, the furnace will initiate a normal start cycle.
If the problem has not been corrected the furnace will again lockout
after three retries.
A momentary loss of gas supply, flame blowout, or a faulty flame probe
circuit will result in a disruption in the flame and be sensed within 1.0
seconds. The gas valve will de-energize and the control will begin a
recycle operation. A normal ignition sequence will begin after a 15 sec-
ond inter-purge. If during the five recycles the gas supply does not
return, or the fault condition is not corrected the ignition control will lock-
out for 60 minutes.
During burner operation, a momentary loss of power for 50 milliseconds
or longer will de-energize the gas valve. When the power is restored,
the gas valve will remain de-energized and the ignition sequence will
immediately restart.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The following visual checks should be made before troubleshooting:
1. Check to see that the power to the furnace and the ignition control
module is ON.
2. The manual shut-off valves in the gas line to the furnace must be
open.
3. Make sure all wiring connections are secure.
4. Review the sequence of operation. Start the system by setting the
thermostat above the room temperature. Observe the system’s
response. Then use the troubleshooting section in this manual to
check the system’s operation.
FURNACE CONTROL DIAGNOSTICS
The furnace has built-in, self-diagnostic capability. If a system problem
occurs, a blinking red LED shows a fault code. It is located behind a
clear view port in the blower compartment door. DO NOT remove the
furnace blower compartment panel OR turn off furnace power, as either
action will clear the control’s memory of the fault.
The control continuously monitors its own operation and the operation
of the system. If a failure occurs, the LED will indicate the failure code. If
the failure is internal to the control, the light will stay on continuously. In
this case, the entire control should be replaced, as the control is not
field repairable.
Flash sequence codes 1 through 11 are as follows: LED will turn “on” for
one second and “off” for one second. This pattern will be repeated the
number of times equal to the code. For example, six “on” flashes equals
a number 6 fault code. All flash code sequences are broken by a 2 sec-
ond “off” period.
CONTINUOUS FLASH: This indicates that flame was sensed when
there was not a call for heat. With this fault code the control will turn on
both the inducer motor and supply air blower.
CAUSE: A gas valve that leaks through or is slow closing would
typically cause this fault.
2 FLASH: This indicates that the normally open pressure switch con-
tacts are stuck in the closed position. The control confirms these con-
tacts are open at the beginning of each heat cycle.
CAUSE: This would indicate a faulty pressure switch or miswiring.
3 FLASH: This indicates the normally open pressure switch contact did
not close at the beginning of the heat cycle.
CAUSE: This could be caused by a number of problems, faulty
inducer, blocked vent pipe, broken pressure switch hose or faulty
pressure switch.
4 FLASH: This indicates that a primary or auxiliary limit switch has
opened its normally closed contacts. With this fault code the control will
operate the supply air blower and inducer.
CAUSE: This condition may be caused by: dirty filter, improperly
sized duct system, incorrect blower speed setting, incorrect firing
rate or faulty blower motor.
5 FLASH: This fault is indicated if the normally closed contacts in the
rollout switch opens. The rollout control is manually reset.
CAUSE: If it has opened, check for proper combustion air, proper
inducer operation, primary heat exchanger failure or burner prob-
lem. Be sure to reset the switch after correcting the failure condi-
tion.

HOT SURFACE IGNITION SYSTEM
Do not attempt to light this furnace by hand (with a
match or any other means). There may be a potential
shock hazard from the components of the hot surface
ignition system. The furnace can only be lit automatically
by its hot surface ignition system.

SWITCHES
Never bypass pressure switch to allow furnace opera-
tion. To do so will allow furnace to operate under poten-
tially hazardous conditions.
Do not try to repair controls. Replace defective controls
with UPG Source 1 Parts.
Never adjust pressure switch to allow furnace operation.
