I-UNIT COMPONENTS
EL280UHE(X) unit components are shown in gure 1. The 
gas valve, combustion air inducer and burners can be ac-
cessed by removing the access panel. Electrical compo-
nents are in the control box (gure 2) found in the blower 
section.
EL280UHE(X)  units  are  factory  equipped  with  a  bottom 
return air panel in place. The panel is designed to be eld 
removed as required for bottom air  return.  Markings  are 
provided for side return air and may be cut out in the eld.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
 CAUTION
Electrostatic  discharge  can  aect 
electronic components. Take precautions 
to neutralize electrostatic charge by 
touching your hand and tools to metal 
prior to handling the control.
A- Control Box
1. Control Transformer (T1)
A transformer located in the control box provides power to
the low voltage section of the unit. Transformers on all
models  are  rated  40VA  with  a  120V  primary  and a  24V 
secondary.
2. Door Interlock Switch (S51)
A door interlock switch is wired in series with line voltage.
When the inner blower access panel is removed the unit
will shut down.

3. Circuit Breaker (CB8)
A  24V  circuit  breaker  is  also located  in  the  control  box. 
The  switch  provides  overcurrent  protection  to  the trans-
former (T1). The breaker is rated 3A at 32V. If the current 
exceeds this limit the breaker will trip and all unit opera-
tion will shutdown. The breaker can be manually reset by 
pressing the button on the face. See gure 3.

 WARNING
Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before servicing. Integrated 
control is not eld repairable. If control is inoperable, 
simply replace entire control.
Can cause injury or death. Unsafe operation will 
result if repair is attempted.
4. Integrated Control (A92)
Units  are  equipped  with  the  SureLight®  two-stage,  inte-
grated control. The system consists of a ignition / blower 
control (gures 4 and 5) with  control  pin  designations  in 
tables 1 and 2 and ignitor. The control and ignitor work in 
combination to ensure furnace ignition and ignitor durabil-
ity. The  control  provides  gas  ignition,  safety  checks  and 
indoor blower control with two-stage gas heating. The fur-
nace combustion air inducer, gas valve and indoor blower 
are controlled in response to various system inputs such 
as thermostat signal, pressure and limit switch signal and 
ame signal. The control features a seven-segment LED 
display,  indicating  furnace  status  and  error  codes.  The 
LED  ashes  in  single  digits.  For  example  using  table  4 
under LIMIT CODE, an “E” followed by “2” followed by “5” 
followed by “0”, the limit switch circuit is open. The control 
also has two unpowered (dry) 1/4” contacts for a humid-
ier and a 120 volt accessory terminal. Both rated at (1) 
one amp each.
Electronic Ignition
At the beginning of the heat  cycle  the  integrated  control 
monitors the rst stage and second stage combustion air 
inducer  pressure  switch.  The  control  will  not  begin  the 
heating  cycle  if  the  rst  stage  pressure  switch  is  closed 
(bypassed).  Likewise  the  integrated  control  will  not  be-
gin  the  second  stage  heating  cycle  if  the  second  stage 
pressure  switch  is  closed,  and  will  remain  in  rst  stage 
heat. However, if the second stage pressure switch closes 
during the rst stage heat pre-purge, the control will allow 
second stage heat. Once  the rst stage pressure switch 
is  determined  to  be  open,  the  combustion  air  inducer  is 
energized on low (rst stage) heat speed. When the dier-
ential in the pressure switch is great enough, the pressure 
switch closes and a 15-second pre-purge begins.
