I-UNIT COMPONENTS
EL296UHV(X) unit components are shown in FIGURE 1. 
The gas valve, combustion air inducer and burners can be 
accessed by removing the access panel. Electrical com-
ponents are  in the  control  box  (FIGURE  2) found  in  the 
blower section.
EL296UHV(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 rated 14A at 125VAC is wired in se-
ries 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 FIGURE 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. Blower Drive (See Indoor Blower Section)
5. Integrated Control (A92)
Units are equipped with a communicating enabled Sure-
Light
® 
two-stage,  variable  speed  integrated  control.  This 
control is used with a communicating thermostat as part 
of a communicating comfort system. The control can also 
operate with a non-communicating conventional single or 
two-stage thermostat. The system consists of a ignition / 
blower control (FIGURE 4 or FIGURE 5) with control pin 
designations in TABLE 1, TABLE 2, TABLE 3 and ignitor 
(FIGURE 14). The control and ignitor work in combination 
to ensure furnace ignition and ignitor durability. The con-
trol provides gas ignition, safety checks and indoor blower 
control with two-stage gas heating.
The furnace 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  (including  indoor 
blower) and error codes. The LED ashes in single digits. 
For example using TABLE 5 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 humidier and a 120 volt accesso-
ry 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 prove switch. The control will not begin the heating 
cycle if the rst stage prove switch is closed (by-passed). 
Likewise the integrated control will not begin the second 
stage  heating  cycle  if  the  second  stage  prove  switch  is 
closed, and will remain in rst stage heat. However, if the 
second  stage  prove  switch  closes  during  the  rst  stage 
heat pre-purge, the control will allow second stage heat.
