forced draft furnace utilizes a sealed combustion chamber which
is vented to the outside atmosphere.The intake air for
combustion is also taken from outdoors and is completely
i s o l a t e d f r o m t h e r o o m a i r. A m o t o r i s u s e d t o d r i v e a n i m p e l l e r
wheel to draw intake air into the chamber to support combustion
and force the exhaust gasesthrough the furnace chamber to the
outside atmosphere. A second impeller wheel (driven by the
same motor yet totallyisolated from the combustion air) is used
to circulate room air across the furnace chamber where it is
heated. Theblower then forces the hot air into the living area
either through a duct system or through a front grille on the
furnacecabinet on direct discharge models.Suburban furnaces
operate on 12-volt DC power which is supplied either by a 12v o l t b a t t e r y o r a c o n v e r t e r s y s t e m . A recreational vehicle furnace that is
specifically designed for park model trailers operates on 120 volts AC. Thesea r e
designed and tested under the same standards as the 12-volt
models.Suburban forced draft combustion furnaces used in
recreational vehicles are designed for use with Propane

INSTALLATION
There are several important aspects of the installation which will pertain to all Suburban
forced draft furnaces, regardless of the model or themethod in which they are installed. They
are:
1.Selecting a Location2 . V e n t i n g 3 . R e t u r n
A i r
4.
DuctingRefer to the furnace installation manual for all installation
requirements.Location and Installation
- Locate the furnace near lengthwise center of the coach. Choose a location for installation
out of the way of wires,pipes, etc. which might interfere with the installation.
Adhere to the minimum clearances from cabinet to combustible construction
aslisted in the installation manual for your specific furnace model.
Secure furnace cabinet to the floor of the coach using the holesprovided in the furnace
cabinet.

VENTING
Venting
- By definition of a Direct Vent Sealed Combustion Furnace, it must be vented to the outside
atmosphere and also draw combustion air from outdoors. Therefore, it is imperative that the
vent be unobstructed and there must be a seal between the exhaust and intake (caulking) .
Refer to the vent assembly installation in the manual. The vent must be straight. There can
be no offsets or turns in the vent. All vent tubes whichconnect to the furnace exhaust and
intake must overlap a
minimum of 1/2" on intake, and 1 1/4" on exhaust.
Check your furnace modelnumber for vent installation procedures. Vents cannot be altered
as supplied from the factory.

Return Air
- The cabinet that the furnace may be installed in will have
louvers or openings for the return air back tothe furnace. When
the furnace is installed, it is imperative that the return air
louvers on the furnace cabinet openingare not
obstructed.Usually, these furnaces are installed under a

DUCTING
Ducting
- Suburban furnaces require that a minimum duct area be
maintained throughout entire duct system includingthrough the
r e g i s t e r. I t i s v e r y i m p o r t a n t t o a d h e r e t o t h e m i n i m u m d u c t
area in order to keep the furnace from cyclingon high limit and
to assure proper operation of the sail switch (sometimes
referred to as a microswitch.)
N O T E : ( R e f e r to the installation manual for the minimum
ducted square inches area for each model.)NOTE: Ducts
terminating in a dead air space (like holding tank
c o m p a r t m e n t s o r c a r g o a r e a s ( To y B o x e s ) w i t h n o m e a n s f o r
return air recirculation should not be counted in the
required duct area. Also, ducts 2" indiameter or smaller
should not be counted in the required duct area.
When installing a duct system, avoid making a lot of turns. The
s t r a i g h t e r t h e d u c t s y s t e m , t h e l e s s t h e r e s i s t a n c e t o a i r fl o w
a n d t h e b e t t e r t h e p e r f o r m a n c e o f t h e f u r n a c e . Avoid making sharp
turns in the duct system. Sharp turns will increase the static pressure in the plenum area of
thef u r n a c e a n d c o u l d c a u s e t h e f u r n a c e t o c y c l e o n l i m i t . T h e d u c t
connections to the furnace cabinet should be tight to eliminate
any heat loss which could result in overheatingof the component
parts on the furnace as well as a reduction in the heated air

1.
The board has a timing circuit which allows the blower to p u r g e

Time Line
Description - Sequence of Events
StartThermostat Callsfor HeatThe wall thermostat controls the operation of the furnace by
reacting to roomtemperature, this allows current to flow through the On/Off switch to the
module board.The module board constantly checks for a minimum 9.5 volts. If there is not
9.5 volts,the module board will go into a stand by mode until adequate power is supplied. It
willthen resume normal operation.Upon a call from the thermostat, the module board
thermostat circuit will go active. Thesail switch circuit is verified as being open. The blower
output is energized. Blower motor starts.15 Seconds PurgeCycleThe module board will then
verify that the sail switch circuit is closed and motor is upto speed. If this circuit remains
open for 30 seconds after the blower motor starts, themodule board will go into lock out and
shut down the blower motor.The module board checks that the gas valve relay contacts
(which are located on themodule board) are open before the ignition sequence starts.The
board has a pre-purge timing circuit of (approximately 15 seconds). This allows thechamber
to purge.7 Seconds IgnitionCycle and FlameSenseThe module board will energize the gas
valve and enable the high voltage spark outputto the electrode for 7 seconds of ignition
time.The module board will then check for flame sense to verify successful lighting of
themain burner flame. Sparking will then be terminated and the gas valve and
blower outputs will remain energized. If ignition is successful the module board will monitor
the flame sense, sail switch andlimit switch circuits, and the thermostat inputs during the
heating period.The flame is sensed through the spark wire and electrode. Therefore, it is
essential thatthe electrode is properly positioned in the burner flame.2 a n d 3

CAUTIONS:1.
Never operate the furnace with the electrode wire disconnected nor withthe electrode
assembly removed from the furnace.
2.
Never use a screwdriver on any part of the electrode assemblywhile the furnace is in
operation.
3.
Be certain that the spark from the electrode never reaches the flamesensor portion of the
electrode assembly.
4.
Be sure the electrode assembly screws are snug at all times, especiallyafter the electrode
has been removed and reinstalled.
5.
If the module board is found to be defective, it must be replaced - it is notfield repairable.
Any attempts to repair the board may alter the board andcause it to operate in an
unsatisfactory manner.
6.
Insure that the gap between electrode and ground is always 1/8". Thegap between the flame
sensor should be approximately twice the gapbetween electrode and ground to insure no
sparking to sensor. Sparkingto sensor will damage the module board. The electronic ignition
system is made up of three main parts; the moduleboard, the electrode assembly, and the
electrode wire. The module boardis the brain of the electronic ignition system and it has
several functions.
1.
When the blower reaches approximately 75% of the normal r.p.m.and sufficient air flow is
established, the sail switch engages and completesa 24 volt circuit through the limit switch
to the module board.
2.
After a 12 - 18 second delay, 24 volt current will pass through themodule board to the
solenoid valve. The current to the valve opens it andallows gas to the main burner;
simultaneously, the module board sendshigh voltage through the electrode wire to the
electrode assembly. Thevoltage seeks a ground between electrode and ground probe and a
sparkoccurs. The spark then ignites the main burner.
3.
The module board also performs the lockout function in cases where thespark fails to light
the burner. When lockout occurs, the spark stops, thevoltage from the module board to the
gas valve is discontinued, and thevalve closes. The unit will remain in lockout and the blower
will continue torun until the thermostat is turned off. Turning the thermostat off
disengagesthe lockout function of the module board. After the blower has stopped,
theignition sequence can be started again. The module will try three times for ignition before
lockout.It is important to determine the type problem being experienced, thenthe proper
checkout procedure can be made. The following is a list of problems, how to identify in which
area the problem is located, andhow to correct it.
1. Electrode not sparking

Check for proper voltage at module board after the blower motor reaches full r.p.m. If no
voltage, check continuity through microswitch and limit switch. Also check wiring and wire
connections.
b.

Voltage is present but no spark at electrode after 12 - 18 seconddelay, check electrode wire
connections.
c.
Wire connections OK, but electrode wire does not showcontinuity through it - replace
electrode wire.
d.
Electrode wire does show continuity through it - check electrodegap to be sure it is 1/8"
maximum between electrode andground. NOTE: Gap between sensor and ground must be
twiceelectrode gap.
e.
Electrode gap OK - check electrode assembly for possiblecracks or carbon on tip of
electrode.
f.
Electrode OK - replace module board.
2.Electrode sparking, but gas not coming through burner:a.
Check to see if voltage is coming out of module board to gasvalve after the 12 - 18 second
delay. Check the wires in themolex connector to be sure they are intact and making
contactwith the module board. Check wire from the module board tovalve for continuity.
Wire and connections check OK - replacemodule board.
b.
Voltage is coming out of module board to gas valve, but gasvalve does not open - replace
gas valve.
3.Electrode sparking and gas valve opening, but burner will notlight:a.
Check to see if gas is coming through to the burner. This can beaccomplished by using a
flow meter in the gas supply line. If nogas is coming through the burner, check for
obstruction in gasline, in main burner orifice, or in main burner.
b.
Gas is coming through burner, but spark will still not igniteburner - check gas pressure.Line
Pressure - Min. 11" W.C.*, Max. 14" W.C.To properly check pressure, first determine the line
pressure, cyclefurnace and check pressure drop on demand. The drop in pressureshould not
be more than " W.C. A drop of more than 1/2" wouldindicate a faulty regulator, a restriction
in the gas line, or a pinched gasline. Excessive pressure drop could also be due to
moisturecontamination.
c.
Gas pressure OK - check for obstruction in main burner;check to be sure electrode is
positioned approximately 1/4"above and directly over slots on the main burner adjustelectrode if necessary.
d.
Remove burner and check burner for obstructions. Clean asrequired.
4.Burner ignites, but goes off and into lockout:a.
Check to be certain that flame sensor is over slots in the mainburner and that the main
burner flame is burning against the tipof the flame sensor - adjust by bending sensor probe.
NOTE:Sensor probe should be in the inner blue cone of the burner flame (approximately 1/4"
t o 5/16" above burner).
b.
Burner still goes off and into lockout - check wire connectionsat flame sensor and at module
board.
c.
Wire connections OK - check continuity through flame sensor wire.
d.
Continuity of flame sensor wire OK - check with micro ampmeter in series with flame sensor
and flame sensor wire to becertain that the flame sensor is generating at least sevenmicro
amps within seven seconds after the burner is ignited.Connect meter as follows: (+) to
sensor wire, (-) to sensor probe. Adjust position of sensor probe, check for carbondeposits on
sensor probe if reading is less than seven microamps.

e.
Flame sensor circuit generating at least seven micro amps,but burner still goes off and into
lockout - replace moduleboard.
5.Repeated module board failures: a.
Check to be certain that the electrode spark is not sparkingagainst the flame sensor portion
of the electrode assembly.
b.
Check to be sure module board or high voltage wires are notshorted to the chamber wrapper
or other furnace parts.
c.
Be sure insulator covering the electrode wire connection onthe coil of the module board is in
place and insulator behindmodule board is in place.
d.
Make certain that the transformer voltage is within 24 - 30volts A.C.
e.
Be sure duct connections to furnace are airtight. Seal ductcollar connections to furnace
cabinet with duct tape, if necessary to prevent hot air leakage. No air leakage shouldexist
anywhere in the duct system, especially at connectionson furnace cabinet.
f.
Be sure sensor wire terminal is tightly affixed to sensor probe.
g.
Be sure high voltage electrode wire is in good condition andproperly positioned onto pierce
point electrode.

F i g u r e 2 1 F i g u r e 2 2 6.
Customer complains of unit going into lockout only once ina while:a.
Thoroughly check electrode and burner relationship.
b.
Lockout can occur if the gas pressure fluctuates at the time thethermostat calls for heat.
Pressure fluctuations can be causedby a malfunctioning gas bottle regulator, an obstruction
or a kinkin the gas line, or moisture in the gas bottle regulator or in thegas lines. It is difficult
to check for these fluctuations that will notnoticeably affect any other appliance in the
coach. However,isolating the furnace from the coach gas system will determineif the gas
system is responsible. This isolation procedure can bedone by connecting a separate upright
bottle, regulator and gasline directly to the furnace, eliminating the coach gas system. If the
occasional lockout still exists, then the furnace should bethoroughly tested to determine the
cause; however, if thefurnace works properly on this separate system, then the coachgas
system should be checked.
c.
Check furnace return air and warm air discharge to be certainsufficient air flow is present to
engage micro switch every time.
d.
Check micro switch to be sure it moves freely.
e.
Remove electrode and burner. Clean thoroughly.
f.
When moisture in the gas system is suspected as being theproblem, especially where the
horizontal type gas bottle is beingused, the following steps should be take to prepare the
gassystem against further moisture problems:Corrective Measures:
1.
Disconnect gas bottle and drain it completely dry of all gasand all moisture.
2.
Disconnect and blow out all gas lines completely dry.

3.
Check pressure regulator on the gas bottle. Replace if necessary.
4.
Add the drying agent. One half pint of methanol alcohol per 100 pound bottle capacity is
recommended.Precautions:
5.
Never fill the gas bottle over 80%.
6.
Do not use the gas bottle completely dry to avoid using upthe drying agent.We have found
the above procedures to be effective in solvingmost occasional lockout problems, especially
where thehorizontal type gas bottle is used. All of these steps must beperformed as
described for the preparation of a contaminatedgas system to be 100% effective.
