Complete the wiring connections to the equipment. Use 
the provided unit wiring diagram and the eld wiring dia-
gramshown in gure 29. Use 18-gauge wire or larger that  
is suitable for Class II rating for thermostat connections.
Electrically ground the unit according to local codes or, in 
the absence of local codes, according to the current Na-
tional Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70). A green ground
wire is provided in the eld make-up box.
NOTE - The EL280UH  furnace contains electronic com-
ponents that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the fur-
nace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
Accessory Terminals
One line voltage “EAC” 1/4” spade terminal is provided on 
the furnace integrated control. See gure 30 for integrated 
control conguration. This terminal is energized when the 
indoor blower is operating. Any accessory rated up to one 
amp can be connected to this terminal with the neutral leg 
of the circuit being connected to one of the provided neu-
tral terminals. If an accessory rated at greater than one 
amp is connected to this terminal, it is necessary to use 
an external relay.
One line voltage “HUM” 1/4” spade terminal is provided on
the furnace integrated control. See gure 30 for integrated
control  conguration.  This  terminal  is  energized  in  the 
heating mode when the combustion air inducer is operat-
ing. Any humidier rated up to one amp can be connected
to this terminal with the neutral leg of the circuit being con-
nected to one of the provided neutral terminals.If a hu-
midier rated at greater than one amp is connected to this 
terminal, it is necessary to use an external relay relay.
Generator Use - Voltage Requirements
The following requirements must be kept in mind when 
specifying a generator for use with this equipment:
•   The furnace requires 120 volts + 10% (Range: 108 
volts to 132 volts).
•   The furnace operates at 60 Hz + 5% (Range: 57 Hz 
to 63 Hz).
•  The furnace integrated control requires both po-
larity and proper ground. Both polarity and proper 
grounding should be checked before attempting to 
operate the furnace on either permanent or tempo-
rary power.
•  Generator should have a wave form distortion of 
less than 5% total harmonic distortion (THD).
Thermostat
Install the room thermostat according to the instructions 
provided with the thermostat. See table 7 for thermostat 
designations. If the furnace is being matched with a heat 
pump, refer to the FM21 installation instruction or appro-
priate dual fuel thermostat instructions.
Indoor Blower Speeds
1 -   When the thermostat is set to “FAN ON,” the indoor 
blower will run continuously on the low speed when 
there is no cooling or heating demand.
2 -   When the EL280UH is operating in the high-re or 
lowre heating mode, the indoor blower will run on 
the corresponding heating speed.
3 -   When the EL280UH is operating in the low cool or 
the high cool cooling mode, the indoor blower will 
run on the corresponding cooling speed.
