INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
FAILURETO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE  
INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE PERSONAL  
INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
DESCRIPTION  
The 50A55-743 is an automatic gas interrupted ignition  
control that employs a microprocessor to continually  
monitor, analyze, and control the proper operation of the  
gas burner, inducer, and fan.  
Signals interpreted during continual surveillance of the  
thermostat and flame sensing element initiate automatic  
ignition of the burner, sensing of the flame, and system  
shut-off during normal operation.  
These controls incorporate system fault analysis for quick  
gasowshut-off,coupledwithautomaticignitionretryupon  
sensing a fault correction.It is designed as a replacement  
for the following controls:

• Route and secure wiring away from flame.  
SHOCK HAZARD  
The 50A55 has only one serviceable part–an automotive  
type fuse, which protects the low voltage transformer  
from damage if its output is short-circuited. If the fuse  
has opened up, remove whatever caused the short circuit  
and replace the fuse with only a 3 Amp automotive type  
fuse. If the fuse is not the cause of the control’s problem,  
replace the entire 50A55 control.There are no other user  
serviceable parts.  
• Disconnect electric power before servicing.  
• Ensure proper earth grounding of appliance.  
• Ensure proper connection of line neutral and line

OPERATION  
Ifameisdetected,thedelay-to-fan-onperiodbegins.After  
thedelay-to-fan-onperiodends,theoptionalelectronicair  
cleaner is energized and the circulator fan is energized at  
heatspeed.Whenthethermostatissatisfied,thegasvalve  
is de-energized. After proof of flame loss, the heat delay-  
to-fan-off period begins and the inducer blower remains  
energized to purge the system for 15 seconds.When the  
purge is complete, the inducer blower and humidifier are  
de-energized. After the delay-to-fan-off period ends, the  
circulator fan and electronic air cleaner are de-energized.  
OPTION SWITCHES  
The option switches on the 50A55-743 control are used to  
determine the length of the heat delay-to-fan-off periods.  
The following table shows the time periods that will result  
from the various switch positions.

If flame is not detected, both valves are de-energized,  
the ignitor is turned off, and the 50A55 control goes into  
the “retry” sequence. The “retry” sequence provides a  
30-secondwaitfollowinganunsuccessfulignitionattempt  
(flame not detected).After this wait, the ignition sequence  
is restarted with an additional 1 second of ignitor warm-  
up time.  
**Factory setting  
HEAT MODE  
If flame is established for more than 10 seconds after  
ignition, the50A55controllerwillcleartheignitionattempt  
(or retry) counter. If flame is lost after 10 seconds, it will  
restart the ignition sequence.  
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 hu-  
midifier are energized and the ignitor is powered after the  
15 seconds pre-purge period.  
During burner operation, a momentary loss of power of  
50 milliseconds or longer will de-energize the main gas  
valve. When power is restored, the gas valve will remain  
de-energized and a restart of the ignition sequence will

COOL MODE  
In a typical system, a call for cool is initiated by clos-  
ing the thermostat contacts. This energizes the 50A55  
control and the compressor. The cool delay-to-fan-on

electronic air cleaner is energized, and the circulator fan  
is energized at cool speed. After the thermostat is satis-

the next call for heat. If, however, this third attempt fails  
to achieve flame, the control will go into system lockout.  
At the end of the ignitor warm-up time, both valves in the  
gas valve are opened. Flame must be detected within 4  
seconds.

OPERATION  
MANUAL FAN ON MODE  
If the thermostat fan switch is moved to the ON position,  
the circulator fan (heat speed) and optional electronic air  
cleaner are energized. When the fan switch is returned  
to the AUTO position, the circulator fan and electronic air  
cleaner (optional) are de-energized.  
To reset the control after system lockout, do one of  
the following:  
1. Interrupt the call for heat or cool at the thermostat for  
at least one second but less than 20 seconds (if flame  
issensedwiththegasvalvede-energized,interrupting  
the call for heat at the thermostat will not reset the  
control).  
2. Interrupt the 24 VAC power at the control for at least  
one second. You may also need to reset the flame  
rollout sensor switch.  
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 ex-  
pires, 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 proper control operation, both  
controls must share a common transformer ground (TR).  
3. Afteronehourinlockout, thecontrolwillautomatically  
reset itself.  
DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES  
The 50A55-743 control continuously monitors its own op-  
eration and the operation of the system.If a failure occurs,  
the LED will indicate a failure code as shown below.If the  
failure is internal to the control, the light will stay off.  
In this case, the entire control should be replaced, as  
the control is not field-repairable.  
To enable twinning, do the following.  
1. Power supplied to both furnaces must be from the If the sensed failure is in the system (external to the
