I-UNIT COMPONENTS
ML180UHE(X) unit components are shown in gure 1.The 
gas valve, combustion air inducer and burners can be ac-
cessed  by  removing  the  upper  access  panel.  Electrical 
components are in the control box (gure 2) found in the 
blower section.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
 CAUTION
Electrostatic  discharge  can  aect 
electronic components. Take precautions 
to neutralize electrostatic charge by 
touching your hand and tools to metal 
prior to handling the control.
1. Control Transformer (T1)
A transformer located in the control box provides power to
the low voltage section of the unit. Transformers on all
models  are  rated  40VA  with  a  120V  primary  and  a  24V 
secondary.
2. Door Interlock Switch (S51)
A  door interlock  switch rated  14A  at 125VAC  is wired  in 
series with line voltage. When the blower door is removed 
the unit will shut down.
NOTE - The door interlock switch is a safety switch. Do 
not by-pass or jumper switch.

3. Circuit Breaker (CB8)
A 24V circuit breaker is also located in the control box. The 
switch  provides  overcurrent  protection  to  the  transform-
er (T1). The breaker is rated at 3A at 32V. If the current 
exceeds this limit the breaker will trip and all unit opera-
tion will shutdown. The breaker can be manually reset by 
pressing the button on the face.
4. Integrated Control (A92)
 WARNING
Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before servicing. Control is not 
eld  repairable.  If  control  is  inoperable,  simply 
replace entire control.
Can cause injury or death. Unsafe operation will 
result if repair is attempted.
The hot surface ignition control system consisting of an in-
tegrated control (gure 3 with control terminal designations 
in tables 1, 2 and 3), sensor and ignitor (gure 6). The in-
tegrated control and ignitor work in combination to ensure 
furnace ignition and ignitor durability. The integrated con-
trol, controls all major furnace operations. The integrated 
control also features a RED LED for troubleshooting and 
two accessory terminals rated at (1) one amp. See table 4 
or 5. for troubleshooting diagnostic codes. The nitride ig-
nitor is made from a non-porous, high strength proprietary 
ceramic  material  that  provides  long  life  and  trouble  free 
maintenance.
Electronic Ignition (Figure 4)
On a call for heat the integrated control monitors the com-
bustion  air  inducer  pressure  switch.  The  control  will  not 
begin  the  heating  cycle  if  the  pressure  switch  is  closed 
(bypassed).  Once  the  pressure  switch  is  determined  to 
be open, the combustion air inducer is energized. When 
the dierential in the pressure switch is great enough, the 
pressure  switch  closes  and  a  15-second  pre-purge  be-
gins. If the pressure switch is not proven within 2-1/2 min-
utes,  the  integrated  control  goes  into  Watchguard-Pres-
sure Switch mode for a 5-minute re-set period.
After  the  15-second  pre-purge period,  the  ignitor warms 
up  for  20 seconds  during  which  the  gas  valve opens  at 
19 seconds for a 4-second trial for ignition. The ignitor re-
mains energized for the rst 3 seconds during the 4 second 
trial. If ignition is not proved during the 4-second period, 
the integrated control will try four more times with an inter 
purge  and  warm-up  time  between  trials  of  35  seconds. 
After  a  total of  ve  trials  for  ignition  (including  the  initial 
trial), the integrated control goes into Watchguard-Flame 
Failure mode. After a 60-minute reset period, the integrat-
ed control will begin the ignition sequence again.
