Integrated Control DIP Switch Settings
EL296DFE units are equipped with a two-stage integrat-
ed control. This control manages ignition timing, heating 
mode fan o delays and indoor blower speeds based on 
selections made using the control dip switches and jump-
ers. The control includes an internal watchguard feature 
which automatically resets the ignition control when it has 
been locked out. After one hour of continuous thermostat 
demand for heat, the watchguard will break and remake 
thermostat demand to the furnace and automatically reset 
the control to relight the furnace.
Heating Operation DIP Switch Settings
NOTE - Switch 8 is not powered and not used. Switching 
from on/o will not change any output.
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 
two stage 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 de-
termine the second stage on delay when a single-stage 
thermostat is being used. The switch is factory-set in the 
OFF position, which provides a 7-minute delay before 
secondstage heat is initiated. If the switch is toggled to 
the ON position, it will provide a 12-minute delay before 
secondstage heat is initiated. This switch is only activated 
when the thermostat selector jumper is positioned for SIN-
GLEstage thermostat use.
Indoor Blower Operation DIP Switch Settings Switch-
es 3 and 4 -- Heating Mode Blower-O Delay --
The blower-on delay of 30 seconds is not adjustable. The 
blower-o delay (time  that the  blower operates  after the 
heating demand  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-o delay of 
90 seconds. 
The blower o delay aects comfort and is adjustable to 
satisfy  individual  applications.  Adjust  the  blower  o  de-
lay to achieve a supply air temperature between 90° and 
110°F at the exact moment that the blower is de-ener-
gized. Longer o  delay settings provide lower  supply air 
temperatures; shorter settings provide higher supply air 
temperatures. TABLE  12 provides the  blower o timings 
that will result from dierent switch settings.
