TWO-STAGE THERMOSTAT
The control card of the furnace auto-detects the two
stages of the thermostat.
W1 The thermostat closes the R-W1 circuit, which acti-
vates the rst stage of the heating sequence (±50% hea-
ting). The blower starts up at low speed and the furnace
elements are activated one by one to reach the adjustable
temperature limit set by the potentiometer on the furnace
control card.
If there is still a W1 heating demand after 30 minutes, the
heating sequence continues as per the W2 sequence.
AND/OR
W2 If the thermostat closes the R-W2 circuit, the
sequence continues as follows: the blower switches to the
medium speed and all the furnace elements are activated
one by one (100% heating). The plenum temperature is still
limited by the potentiometer of the control card.
The SFECM series allows to adjust the continuous ventilation airows independently from the ventilation airow in
heating mode. Note that it also allows airows as low as 300 cfm in continuous ventilation.
CONTINUOUS VENTILATION
Two ventilation speeds can be selected on the furnace control panel: LOW SPEED CONTINUOUS VENTILATION or
HIGH SPEED CONTINUOUS VENTILATION. The user can select the ventilation speed by pressing the CONTINUOUS
VENTILATION button.
CONTINUOUS HEATING
The continuous heating option allows one or two heating elements to operate continuously. The user can select min (one
element) or max (two elements) continuous heating by pressing the CONTINUOUS HEATING button.* The continuous
heating mode is useful from the beginning to the end of the heating season since it reduces temperature variations into
the house. If the minimum or maximum continuous heating option is activated by the user, the furnace will deactivate it
when the heating season ends (more than two hours without any heating demand). Moreover, it will reactivate it when a
new heating season begins.
HEATING DEMAND, STANDARD MODE
(WITH T-STAT INTELLIGENCE)
Note that the pilot light indicating the heating option will blink if the furnace deactivates this option because the hea-
ting season is over. This indicates that the continuous heating will be activated again at the start of the next heating
season.
*Please note that for model #1021, the minimum and maximum continuous heating are the same (one element).

AIR CONDITIONING
The furnace supplies the necessary 24V power for the thermostat relay (R-Y terminals) to control the air-conditioner compres-
sor relay. When the R-Y terminals are activated, the blower starts-up at high speed. See the connection diagram page 6.
