Integrated Control DIP Switch Settings -
Conventional Thermostat (non-communicating)
EL296UHV units are equipped with a two-stage, variable 
speed integrated control. This control manages ignition 
timing, heating mode fan off delays and indoor blower 
speeds based on selections made using the control dip 
switches and jumpers. The control includes an internal 
watchguard feature which automatically resets the ignition 
control when it has been locked out. After one hour of con-
tinuous thermostat demand for heat, the watchguard will 
break and remake thermostat demand to the furnace and 
automatically reset the control to relight the furnace.
Note: All icomfort  settings are set at the icomfort Wi-Fi® 
thermostat. See icomfort  installation instruction. In icom-
fort   communication  system all DIP switch and clippable 
link  settings  are  ignored.  For  conventional  thermostats 
proceed with DIP switch and clippable link settings as out-
lined in the following.
Heating Operation DIP Switch Settings
Switch  1  --  Thermostat  Selection  --  This unit may be 
used with either a single-stage or two-stage thermostat. 
The thermostat selection is made using a DIP switch 
which must be properly positioned for the particular appli-
cation. The DIP switch is factory-positioned for use with a 
twostage thermostat. If a single-stage thermostat is to be 
used, the DIP switch must be repositioned.
a.   Select “OFF” for two-stage heating operation controlled by a 
two-stage heating thermostat (factory setting);
b.   Select “ON” for two-stage heating operation controlled by 
a single-stage heating thermostat. This setting provides a 
timed delay before second-stage heat is initiated.
Switch  2  --  Second  Stage  Delay  (Used  with  Single- 
Stage Thermostat Only) -- This switch is used to deter-
mine the second stage on delay when a single-stage ther-
mostat is being used. The switch is factory-set in the OFF
position, which provides a 7-minute delay before second-
stage heat is initiated. If the switch is toggled to the ON 
position, it will provide a 12-minute delay before second-
stage heat is initiated. This switch is only activated when 
the thermostat selector jumper is positioned for SINGLE-
stage thermostat use.
Switches 3 and 4 -- Blower-Off Delay -- The blower-on 
delay of 30 seconds is not adjustable. The blower-off de-
lay (time that the blower operates after the heating de-
mand  has  been  satised)  can  be  adjusted  by  moving 
switches 3 and 4 on the integrated control. The unit is 
shipped from the factory with a blower-off delay of 90 sec-
onds. The blower off delay affects comfort and is adjust-
able to satisfy individual applications. Adjust the blower 
off delay to achieve a supply air temperature between 90° 
and 110°F at the exact moment that the blower is de-en-
ergized. Longer off delay settings provide lower supply air 
temperatures; shorter settings provide higher supply air 
temperatures.Table 12 provides the blower off timings that 
will result from different switch settings.

Indoor Blower Operation DIP Switch Settings
Switches 5 and 6 -- Cooling Mode Blower Speed -- The
unit is shipped from the factory with the dip switches po-
sitioned for high speed (4) indoor blower motor operation 
during the cooling mode. Table 13 provides the cooling 
mode blower speeds that will result from different switch 
settings. Switches 5 and 6 set the blower cfm for second-
stage cool. The integrated control automatically ramps 
down to 70% of the second-stage cfm for rst-stage cfm. 
Refer to tables for corresponding cfm values. See Product
Specications for more detailed blower cfm tables.

Switches 7 and 8 -- Cooling Blower Speed Adjustment
-- The unit is shipped from the factory with the dip switches 
positioned for NORMAL (no) adjustment. The dip switches 
may be positioned to adjust the blower speed by +10% or 
-10% to better suit the application. Table 14 below pro-
vides blower speed adjustments that will result from dif-
ferent switch settings. Refer to tables for corresponding 
cfm values. See Product Specications for more detailed 
blower cfm tables.

Ramping  --  Blower speed ramping may be used to en-
hance  dehumidication  performance.  The  switches  are 
factory set at option A which has the greatest effect on 
dehumidication performance. Table 15 provides the cool-
ing mode blower speed ramping options that will result 
from different switch settings. The cooling mode blower 
mode blower speed ramping options are detailed on the 
next page.
