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.
