Two-stage gas heat call with ramped blower
What happens, in order
- R and W1 (or W1 and W2) close
- Control checks safety circuits
- Inducer runs on high speed for a 15 s pre-purge; humidifier terminal is energized with it
- Inducer steps down to low speed and the low-stage pressure switch must be closed
- Igniter warm-up starts once low speed and the closed switch are confirmed
- Gas valve opens at the end of the warm-up and flame is established; valve stays open only with flame
- Low heat call valve and inducer stay low; high heat call: they step to high stage
- Circulator blower starts on heat speed after a 30 s on delay and takes 30 s to reach full speed; air cleaner terminal energized with it
- Low to high call inducer, valve and blower switch to high right away
- High to low call inducer and valve drop to low at once; blower holds high speed for 30 s then goes to low heat speed
- Call ends valve closes, inducer runs a 15 s post-purge, humidifier output off
- Blower runs out the heat off delay; after a high-heat call it runs high speed 30 s and then low speed for the rest of the delay
- Blower and air cleaner turn off, blower ramps down over the next 30 s
- Three failed ignition attempts in one call lock the furnace out with E0; it resets itself after 1 hour, or on a power interruption, or by dropping the thermostat call for 1 to 20 s
