17 E LECTRICAL C ONNECTIONS A heat pump thermostat with two stages of heat is required to properly use a furnace in conjunction with a heat pump. Refer to the fossil fuel kit installation instructions for additional ther- mostat requirements. S trictly follow the wiring guidelines in the fossil fuel kit installa- tion instructions.
18 G AS S UPPL Y AND P IPING 1. Install the field supplied relay on the control mount- ing panel near the furnace ignition control. The relay should be installed such that the motor leads will reach the relay contact terminals. 2. Connect the “Y2” (high stage cool) thermostat terminal to one coil terminal of the field supplied relay .
19 G AS S UPPL Y AND P IPING 24 V AC H UMIDIFIER The yellow wire connected to the I.D. Blower pressure switch is powered anytime the pressure switch is closed and provides 24 V AC humidifier control. Remove the yellow wire and connect the supplied brown jumper wire to the pressure switch terminal.
20 G AS S UPPL Y AND P IPING Contact your distributor for a tabular listing of appropriate manufacturer’s kits for propane gas and/or high altitude instal- lations. The indicated kits must be used to insure safe and proper furnace operation. All conversions must be performed by a qualified installer , or service agency .
21 G AS S UPPL Y AND P IPING A ground joint union, drip leg, and manual shutoff valve must also be supplied by the installer . In some cases, the installer may also need to supply a transition piece from 1/2" to another pipe size.
