1. Refer to SYSTEM LOCKOUT FEATURES COOL MODE In a typical system a call for cool is initiated by closing the thermostat contacts This energizes the 50A55 control and the compressor The cool delay to fan on period begins After the delay period ends the optional electronic air cleaner is ener gized and the circulator fan is energized at cool speed After the thermostat is satisfied the compressor is de energized and the cool mode delay to fan off period begins After the delay to fan off period ends the circulator fan and electronic air cleaner optional are de energized MANUAL FAN ON MODE If the thermostat fan switch is moved to the ON position the circulator fan cool speed and optional electronic air cleaner are energized When the fan switch is returned to the AUTO posi tion the circulator fan and electronic air cleaner optional are de energized TWINNING INTERFACE If the control has six screw terminals one of which is designated TWIN the control is equipped with a single wire twinning interface If twinning is used either control will process a call for heat cool or fan as described above However after the heat cool or fan on delay time expires both units will energize the circulator blowers at the same time Likewise after the heat cool or fan off delay time expires both units will de energize the circulator blowers at the same time This allows for proper air flow to be obtained To assure proper2. fan on and heat delay to fan off periods The following table shows the time periods that will result from the various switch positions OPTION SWITCH POSITIONS COOL delay to fan off 45 sec On 90 sec Off HEAT delay to fan on 30 sec On 45 sec Off HEAT delay Set switch to fan off 3 4 60 sec 90 sec 120 sec 180 sec Factory setting HEAT MODE In a typical system a call for heat is initiated by closing the thermostat contacts This starts the 50A55 control s heating sequence The inducer blower and optional humidifier are energized and the ignitor is powered within one second This controller has an adaptive algorithm that adjusts the dura tion of the ignitor warm up to extend ignitor life Upon initial application of power the warm up time is 17 seconds The ignitor on time will then be increased or decreased depending on whether or not flame is achieved The warm up time is limited to a maximum of 21 seconds During the first 64 warm up periods following power up the warm up time may not be less than 17 seconds Upon a call for heat if the warm up time has not been locked it willbe decreased by one second This reduction of the ignitor on time will continue until flame fails to be achieved resulting in a retry In the event of a retry the warm up time will be increased by two seconds and locked in at that duration Once the warm up time is locked it remains fixed until another call for
