So one of the things I'd like to talk about a lot at HVAC School is parts and components that can be used in a lot of different applications. and so that's why we're going to be doing an unboxing and an installation. video on the white Rogers 50 M56x-843 Integrated Furnace Control This integrated furnace control comes with a hot surface igniter and it works in a really wide range of different applications including PSC and what we traditionally call X13 or Ecmx type motor application. It has a lot of really smart technology built right into the board.

We're going to go over this as we set it up using the white Rogers Connect app or the WR connect tab using near field technology where we actually just take the phone, set it on the board and we can set it up that way so we're going to walk through that with you right now. Foreign things to notice right away just looking at the box. It's for single stage furnaces, so this is for single stage of the actual flame. but it does work with PSC and Ecmx blower motors, not fully variable blower motors, so keep that in mind.

It is 120 volt hot surface ignition and it comes with the igniter and IT services pretty much all. OEM Brands If you want to check the cross reference, you can use the WR mobile app but also on the side of the box. it gives a pretty solid cross reference. So as you can see, one of the first things I've done here is I've pulled open the white Rogers Connect app and if you have any questions on the actual installation, you can go to the how to install link which will take you to their really thorough video on their website.

This box contains the control, the hot rod Universal, igniter, mounting screws, mounting standoffs In some cases, you need to mount the board and have it stand off a little bit Spade Terminals and an instruction sheet we've got our instruction sheet we have our 120 volt silicon nitride hot rod igniter from White Rogers got all of our separate screws standoffs and Spades and then we have our control. So one of the most interesting things you can do with this control is connect the control. Before you even have this energized and a lot of texts will ask how is that possible? It's because the energy source is actually coming from the phone device itself, which is pretty interesting. So now we're going to connect to the control, you can see it's connected with the control and now we do not have to hold it next to the control.

Now we can do auto set. We can set each of the individual parameters ourselves or we can select auto set by putting in the replacement part. So we're going to go and just select the board that's already in there and it's going to preset everything to the factory settings which if we wanted to make a change, we could make that here before we even install the board and then once we're ready to update the control with this new information, then we hold it up against the board again. Can we update control? And then it will say Control Updated And now this control is configured specifically for the board that we're replacing.

Makes it really, really easy. So this circuit board automatically detects what's connected to it. The only thing that you really have to make sure that you set up is the configurations like in the parameters like we've shown and also you have to give it some information on the specific type of blower motor that's connected. Those are the only two things that you have to do outside of just connecting it up properly and then allowing it to self-detect which we'll show in the installation.

Okay, now it's time to get down to the action. I'm the action guy. We're actually going to install this board so the Universal Hot Surface Igniter Integrated Control Board. You can install it in more than 550 applications I Think is what? Yeah, more than 550 Applications boards that can be replaced with this board right here.

and that's PSC Motors or x13 ECM Motors as well. which is what we have here in this setup. So let's just Dive Right In I Want to install it, see how easy it is to follow the instructions and how easy it is for the setup, and then if this is something that's not too difficult for Tech to have and install themselves that you can trust your technicians, then great. You have one option to put on your truck for emergency situations out there that can replace a huge range of boards.

That would be great. So first step, let's turn off power or at least confirm that it's off. Power is off. Okay, and uh, let's get straight to it.

Our hot surface igniter and our instructions Rtfm. Read the Fantastic manual and let's go. Okay, as you've seen uh, the the board was already set up Brian Already set the board up so we're just going to install it now. Um, you actually have on the box a list of applicable part numbers that this can actually install with and in the instruction manual.

So if you're if you're ever wondering if it's actually a board that works, check out your board part number and you can find the match under carrier. This is a carrier system so you can find the part number and you know you know Without a doubt this is actually an exact replacement. Let's go ahead and take this one out. Old Board part number.

We actually have a match. this works. Um, whenever you're taking an old board out, it's a good idea to take pictures so that you know where everything was plugged in. but more importantly to confirm that you actually have like a Y diagram that's visible so you can see where it should go when you take a picture, you're never really sure if the old board was actually set up properly right? so you reference your wire diagram to know where the wires should go.

First is our mounting. So we have everything needed for a mount in our kit. here. we have some self Drilling self-tappers in here and then the standoffs for if there's actually the right place that you can use the standoffs.

okay, boards in place. Okay, so one of the great things I noticed about this is how thorough the instructions actually are. And for your wire diagram that comes with your board, you have wires easy to read and easy to follow, and then each of the different components are actually visibly on here. So it's actually just super simple to follow your instructions.

which is great. Simple is what we need. We don't mess up as much, all right. So I'm going to start with my Transformer follow the diagram Transformer line is line H here at the top line H that's our 120 for our Transformer and then we have our neutral down here on X Fmr.

this is our neutral column right here and then our little voltage from our transformer red and white. We have our red coming around and hooking up to Tr or Th for red and TR for blue and they actually have a different size um Spade terminals so depending upon the application, they actually have both sizes on the board just as a convenience just to make it easy for us I Think next, we will put in our plugs, so on here. you have a huge range of different OEM style plugs. so we have the 11, Pin, the 10, the 10 pin, and then the various plugs here for different board applications.

So you actually should be able to Plug and Play. Most of your control wires should just be straight up Plug and Play into the board and then it has a self-learning system. when you power up the board to actually recognize where you've been plugged into and therefore what manufacturer set up, the Board needs to match that. This one's the 11, but it doesn't get much easier than that than actually just having Plug and Play same outline as a manufacturer.

The OEM where you can't put it in backwards you can't mess it up. It's foolproof, which is exactly what a guy like me needs. So our inducer plug and play as well and then our neutrals can all go on our neutral bar. All right.

So our line voltage. we have line H which is line H right here and then right next to it our Transformer getting power. Fantastic. Um, and then our blower high voltage.

Uh, follow the wire diagram and so for the X13 that is going to go down here on Circle Circulation: H which right now has a cover plate on it. Pull that off and Boom! Now our voltage for our blower is hooked up. Okay so next we are left with our speeds for our X13 module and our uh, low voltage control wire from the thermostat. Okay, so you have on your wire diagram.

if it's a PCS blower where the hookups are for that on the top of your board. If it's an X13 ECM style module, then where you're hooking up for that. So super important that you don't get wrong. you're common.

Your module needs common. It needs 24 volts and so um, the common actually needs to go on the common terminal because it's not one of the speeds and so I will double check my wire diagram and I can see coming off of my blower motor that common is our green. Then I find Common on the board and it's just Common com And now we have our speeds so you can set up the blower speeds based on what the actual needs are for cooling and heating. Low cool, High cool.

Heat Fan only and then we have spare on our board. Where are the spares? Park So on this board they're called Park not spare. In fact, on all boards they're called Park spares for a breaker that's not used. Boom! Now one of the things that I like about this is the low voltage hookup.

You actually have a plug that you can pull off and hook up to your wire and plug back in so you're not trying to get it to fit in at it a weirder awkward angle. You do have a two-stage setup for cooling only, so on the cooling side you have your your Y2y1. so if you do have a two-stage condenser hooked up to this furnace, they have a low heat high heat for your lower speed Terminals and then a Y1 and Y2 If you're hooking up to a single stage which is what this one is, then a Y Y2 is what you hook up to. That's all pretty common.

AC Knowledge: So our board is installed and it was honestly a piece of cake you have on the bottom of the board. We have a digital display and we'll demonstrate. Once we get power up and we'll make sure this thing actually works. and then up here on the board face.

we have our error codes or our run codes so you actually understand what mode it's in and then if there's an air that's being pulled, it's right on the face of the board. here. What? that is. So a basic description right on the face of your board.

You don't have to go looking for it. You don't have to worry about that being lost. It's right there. Okay, next hot surface igniter that comes with the kit.

We'll open this up and install it in the system. It's just a great idea to do that whenever you're replacing a board. Anyway, there are different hot surface igniters, something that have very, uh, various voltages. You could have the 80 volt hot surface igniter or the 120 so they just send you with inside the box so you have everything you need.

One package: 120 volt hot Surface Igniter: That's a universal install. Okay, and it does have a couple wire nuts in here that are heat resistant. If it's not a Plug and Play application, this one is Plug and Play. So I Cut the wires and put the wire nuts on for no reason.

Classic Bert All the screws you would need come with the igniter in the Box secure the new igniter to the harness. Uh, just make sure that when you put this new igniter in that the igniter is actually in the face of the Uh flame. Stream So the fuel stream. When the fuel stream um will come straight out and make contact with the igniter and also that the igniter is not rubbing against any metal.

Okay, great. Our board is installed. Our igniter is installed very straightforward. We've hooked up all our control wires and now it's time to actually fire it up and make sure this actually works.

Okay, I'm gonna turn the power on. So right initially on power on the board is going to go through a sequence of just learning. what plug do we have in place so that it can actually match manufacture? OEM Setup So whatever, the old OEM boards, logic and process sequence of operation safeties, it'll match that based on the plug that you have installed into one of these plugs and then it once it goes through that process I can turn it on. Now we have our call.

So on the call for heat, our ignet our inducer motor comes on. Safety switch proves that it's actually closed. After the inducer motor comes on, all of our safeties limits are closed. You're going to click for the igniter and there's our brand new igniter glowing.

Orange We are going to make fire. Next it will open our gas valve and Boom we have fire. So if it immediately shuts off we have a flame sensor issue or um, an issue with our flame sensor wiring. Right now everything's running great and one of the cool things about this board is you actually have down here your He which is your status for what mode it's in he would be Heat But then it also reads the micro amps and there goes our blower.

That's good. We read our micro amps on the flame sensor so right now it's saying uh 4.5 micro amps being sensed on our plane. So yeah, great diagnostic tool. You can walk up and actually see if your flame sensor is is uh sensing the flame.

Well there you have it. It was super easy to install. Uh, there wasn't even a lot that I could have messed up. Plug and play on the control connections and uh, really straightforward instructions.

So this is something you can put on your Vans and feel confident that technicians are not going to be messing this up in the install process. Also, there's such a high range of boards that this will actually replace, so White Rogers has made it an effort to develop products that you can put on your van that eliminate carrying a bunch of excess stuff and this is no exception to that. This is a great board you can have on your van for emergency situations and so great job White! Rogers I'm happy with it. it was an easy install we have.

Flame Cool To find out more about this amazing control. go to Hvcr School.com Wrhsi to get all the information on this particular board. It will take you right there. You can also go to our partners page on White Rogers and find out more information or download the white Rogers mobile app in addition to the white Rogers Connect app to connect to this control specifically and set it up.

So this has been the 50m56x-843 by White Rogers As you can see, this board is really easy to install and most importantly it works in a super wide range of applications so you can put one kit on your truck and technicians can use it to solve a lot of real world problems that technicians run into in the field.
