Electronic Ignition
The two-stage, variable speed integrated control used in
EL296UHE units has an added feature of an internal
Watchguard control. The feature serves as an automatic
reset device for ignition control lockout caused by ignition
failure. After one hour of continuous thermostat demand
for heat, the Watchguard will break and remake thermo-
stat demand to the furnace and automatically reset the
control to begin the ignition sequence.
NOTE - The ignition control thermostat selection DIP
switch is factory-set in the “TWO-STAGE” position.
Applications Using a Two-Stage Thermostat
See gure 57 for ignition control sequence
A - Heating Sequence -- Integrated Control Thermostat
Selection DIP Switch 1 OFF in “Two-Stage” Position
(Factory Setting)
1 - On a call for heat, thermostat rst-stage contacts
close sending a signal to the integrated control. The
integrated control runs a self-diagnostic program
and checks high temperature limit switches for
normally closed contacts and pressure switches for
normally open contacts. The combustion air inducer
is energized at low speed.
2 - Once the control receives a signal that the low
pressure switch has closed, the combustion air
inducer begins a 15-second pre-purge in low speed.
NOTE - If the low re pressure switch does not close
the combustion air inducer will switch to high re.
After a 15 second pre-purge the high re pressure
switch will close and the unit will begin operation on
high re. After 10 to 20 seconds of high re operation
the unit will switch to low re.
3 - After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial
ignitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air
inducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended,
the gas valve is energized on low re (rst stage)
and ignition occurs. At the same time, the control
module sends a signal to begin an indoor blower
30-second ON-delay.
When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is
energized on the low re heating speed, the HUM
contacts close energizing the humidier and 120V
ACC terminal is energized. The furnace will continue
this operation as long as the thermostat has a rst-
stage heating demand.
NOTE - If the indoor thermostat is set on
CONTINUOUS FAN ON mode, the furnace will
light on high re (second-stage) for 60 seconds to
improve heat exchanger warm up. After 60 second
warm-up period, furnace will switch to low re (rst-
stage).
5 - If second-stage heat is required, the thermostat
second- stage heat contacts close and send a signal
to the integrated control. The integrated control
initiates a 30-second second-stage recognition
delay.
6 - At the end of the recognition delay, the integrated
control energizes the combustion air inducer at
high speed. The control also checks the high re
(second stage) pressure switch to make sure it is
closed. The high re (second stage) gas valve is
energized and the indoor blower motor is energized
for operation at the high re heating speed.
7 - When the demand for high re (second stage) heat
is satised, the combustion air inducer is switched
to the low-re heating speed and the high-re
(second stage) gas valve is de-energized. The
low-re (rst stage) gas valve continues operation.
The indoor blower motor is switched to the low-re
heating speed.
8 - When the thermostat demand for low-re (rst
stage) heat is satised, the gas valve is de-
energized and the eld-selected indoor blower o
delay begins. The combustion air inducer begins a
5-second post-purge period.
9 - When the combustion air post-purge period is
complete, the inducer and the HUM contacts are
de-energized. The indoor blower is de-energized at
the end of the o delay as well a s the 120V ACC
terminal.
