DV3000J vs DV3200T — feature differences matter for diagnosis
This manual covers two projects: DV3000J (basic) and DV3200T (new). Key differences: Vent Blockage Test is only available on DV3200T. Gas BTU rating differs (22,000 for DV3000J vs 20,000 for DV3200T). The display type is LED Bar 18:88 G.LED on both. When diagnosing, confirm which project/model you are working on to avoid referencing unavailable features.
Vent Blockage Test — available on DV3200T but not DV3000J
The Vent Blockage Test feature (Time + START/PAUSE for 3 seconds) is only available on the DV3200T project (DVE/G45T3200 models), not the DV3000J (DV40J3000 models). If a customer has the older model, you cannot use this test and must verify duct condition manually. The spec sheet shows Vent Blockage Test as 'Y' for DV3200T and '-' for DV3000J.
