I Unit Components - Lennox EL296UHVX Series Unit Information

I-UNIT COMPONENTS
EL296UHV(X) unit components are shown in figure 1. The
gas valve, combustion air inducer and burners can be ac­
cessed by removing the access panel. Electrical compo­
nents are in the control box (figure 2) found in the blower
section.
EL296UHV(X) units are factory equipped with a bottom return
air panel in place. The panel is designed to be field removed
as required for bottom air return. Markings are provided for
side return air and may be cut out in the field.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can affect elec­
tronic components. Take precautions
to neutralize electrostatic charge by
touching your hand and tools to metal
prior to handling the control.
A- Control Box
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 sec­
ondary.
2. Door Interlock Switch (S51)
A door interlock switch rated 14A at 125VAC is wired in se­
ries with line voltage. When the inner blower access panel
is removed the unit will shut down.

3. Circuit Breaker (CB8)
A 24V circuit breaker is also located in the control box.
The switch provides overcurrent protection to the trans­
former (T1). The breaker is rated 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. See figure 3.

Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before servicing. Integrated
control is not field repairable. If control is inoper­
able, simply replace entire control.
Can cause injury or death. Unsafe operation will re­
sult if repair is attempted.

5. Integrated Control (A92)
Units are equipped with the icomfort
two-stage, variable speed integrated control. This control
is used with the icomfort Wi-Fi
communicating comfort system. The control can also oper­
ate with a non-communicating conventional single or two-
stage thermostat. The system consists of a ignition / blow­
er control (figures 4 and 5) with control pin designations in
tables 1, 2 and 3 and ignitor (figure 14). The control and
ignitor work in combination to ensure furnace ignition and
ignitor durability. The control provides gas ignition, safety
checks and indoor blower control with two-stage gas heat­
ing. The furnace combustion air inducer, gas valve and in­
door blower are controlled in response to various system
inputs such as thermostat signal, pressure and limit switch
signal and flame signal. The control features a seven-seg­
ment LED display, indicating furnace status (including in­
door blower) and error codes. The LED flashes in single
digits. For example using table 5 under LIMIT CODE, an
"E" followed by "2" followed by "5" followed by "0", the limit
switch circuit is open. The control also has two unpowered
(dry) 1/4" contacts for a humidifier and a 120 volt accessory
terminal. Both rated at (1) one amp each.
Electronic Ignition
At the beginning of the heat cycle the integrated control
monitors the first stage and second stage combustion air
inducer prove switch. The control will not begin the heating
cycle if the first stage prove switch is closed (by-passed).
Likewise the integrated control will not begin the second
stage heating cycle if the second stage prove switch is
closed, and will remain in first stage heat. However, if the
second stage prove switch closes during the first stage
heat pre-purge, the control will allow second stage heat.
