V-TYPICAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
A-Blower Operation and Adjustment
1 -   Blower operation is dependent on thermostat control 
system.
2 -  2 -  Generally, blower operation is set at thermostat 
subbase  fan  switch.  With  fan  switch  in  ON 
position,  blower  operates  continuously.  With 
fan switch in AUTO position, blower cycles with 
demand  or  runs  continuously  while  heating  or 
cooling circuit cycles.
3 -  3 -  Depending  on  the  type  of  indoor  thermostat, 
blower and entire unit will be o when the system 
switch is in OFF position.
B-Temperature Rise (FIGURE 55)
Temperature rise for EL297UHV units depends on unit in-
put, blower speed, blower horsepower and static pressure 
as marked on the unit rating plate. The blower speed must 
be set for unit operation within the range of “TEMP. RISE 
°F” listed on the unit rating plate.

 C-External Static Pressure
1 -   Tap locations shown in FIGURE 56.
2 -    Punch  a  1/4”  diameter  hole  in  supply  and  return 
air  plenums.  Insert  manometer  hose  ush  with 
inside edge  of  hole  or  insulation.  Seal  around  the 
hose with permagum. Connect the zero end of the 
manometer  to  the  discharge  (supply)  side  of  the 
system. On ducted systems, connect the other end 
of manometer to the return duct as above.
3 -    With  only  the  blower  motor  running  and  the 
evaporator coil dry, observe the manometer reading. 
Adjust blower motor speed to deliver the air desired 
according to the job requirements.
4 -   Seal the hole when the check is complete.

VI-MAINTENANCE
 WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could 
result in dangerous operation, serious injury, death 
or property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous 
operation, serious injury, death, or property damage.
Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to 
furnace.
When servicing controls, label all wires prior 
to disconnecting. Take care to reconnect wires 
correctly. Verify proper operation after servicing.
At the beginning of each heating season, system should 
be checked as follows by a qualied service technician:
Blower
Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary. 
The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing 
life. No further lubrication is needed.
 WARNING
The blower access panel must be securely in place 
when the blower and burners are operating. Gas 
fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can 
be drawn into living space resulting in personal 
injury or death.
