Procedures
   
electronic components. Take care 
during unit installation and service to 
protect the unit’s electronic controls. 
Precautions will help to avoid control 
exposure to electrostatic discharge 
by putting the unit, the control and the 
technician at the same electrostatic 
potential. Touch hand and all tools 
on an unpainted unit surface before 
performing any service procedure to 
neutralize electrostatic charge.
 WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard. Can cause injury or 
death. Unit must be properly grounded in 
accordance with national and local codes.
 WARNING
Fire Hazard. Use of aluminum wire with this product may 
or death. Use copper wire only with this product.

to the right side of the furnace to facilitate installation. If 
the make-up box is moved to the right side, clip the wire 
ties that bundle the wires together. The excess wire must 
be pulled into the blower compartment. Secure the excess 
wire to the existing harness to protect it from damage.

Before connecting the thermostat or the power wiring, 
check to make sure the wires will be long enough for ser-
vicing at a later date. Remove the blower access panel to 
check the length of the wire.
Complete the wiring connections to the equipment. Use 
the provided unit wiring diagram. See Figure 61 through  
Figure 64. Field wiring diagrams begin on page 44. Use 
18-gauge wire or larger that is suitable for Class II rating 
for thermostat connections.
Electrically ground the unit according to local codes or, in 
the absence of local codes, according to the current Na-
tional Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70). A green ground 
          
EL297UHV furnace contains electronic components that 
are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the furnace is wired 
correctly and is properly grounded.
One line voltage “ACC” 1/4” spade terminal is provided on 
the furnace integrated control. Any electronic air cleaner 
or other accessory rated up to one amp can be connect-
ed to this terminal with the neutral leg of the circuit being 
connected to the one of the provided neutral terminals.
