Indirect Gas-Fired Heat Modules

Each ventilating unit containing a furnace or a pair of
furnaces will have a furnace control center located on
the furnace vest plate. The control center receives high
voltage AC from the main unit control center and in
most cases, also receives low voltage control signals
(call for heat) from the main unit control center. In all
cases, see the unit-specific wiring schematic located
inside the main control center door.
1. Microprocessor (if present) senses low temperature
on temperature sensor, sends 10 VDC signal to
signal input converter.
2. Input converter changes analog signal to a form that
can be read by the FX controller and sends the signal
to the FX controller (call for heat).
3. FX controller receives call for heat, activates
modulating valve and the ignition controller.
4. Ignition controller receives call for heat from FX
controller, sends spark to igniter and activates the
combination valve. It looks for verification that the
combustion blower is running.
5. Flame sensor detects flame and ignition controller
shuts off igniter.
Typical Furnace Control Logic
In all cases, refer to the unit-specific wiring diagram
located on the unit control center door.
This illustration is only for a typical 4:1 turndown
electronic modulation configuration

If there is no DDC, the sensor
is connected to the FX.
