 CAUTION
Failure to use properly sized wiring and circuit 
breaker may result in property damage. Size wiring 
and  circuit  breaker(s)  per  Product  Specications 
bulletin (EHB) and unit rating plate.
 WARNING
Fire Hazard. Use of aluminum wire with this product 
may  result  in  a  re,  causing  property  damage, 
severe injury or death. Use copper wire only with 
this product.
 WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard. Can cause injury 
or death. Unit must be properly grounded 
in accordance with national and local 
codes.
Electronic Ignition
The  two-stage,  variable  speed  integrated  control  used 
in  EL297UHV  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 FIGURE 58 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.
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.
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).
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,  the  HUM  contacts  as  well 
as the 120V ACC terminals are de-energized. The 
indoor blower is de-energized at the end of the o 
delay.
