INTRODUCTION
The ICM2818 furnace control board will control the functions of the
furnace including the induced draft blower, circulator blower, gas
valve, ignitor, and flame sensor based on inputs from a thermostat and
various sensors in the furnace. The ICM2818 control will also detect
faults and communicate the faults while in service and display the
faults through its on-board LED as well as employ a timed safety lock-
out when the conditions warrant.
OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE
The thermostat calls for heat by energizing the "W" terminal. The control
energizes the induced draft motor and waits for the pressure switch to
close and runs the inducer for a 45 second prepurge time.
After the inducer pre-purge, the control energizes the Hot Surface
Ignitor. After the Hot Surface Ignitor warm up period, the control
energizes the main gas valve. Once the burner lights, flame must be
proven by the flame sensor and the Hot Surface Ignitor turns off. Once
the flame is proven, the control begins a 30 second On-delay then
energizes the main blower at the HEAT speed.
When the thermostat demand for heat is satisfied, the control de-
energizes the gas valves. The inducer output remains on for a 30 second
post-purge period. The indoor blower motor is de-energized after a 120
second blower off delay.
Upon a fan call (G) from the thermostat, the cool speed blower will
activate.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
Use caution when installing and servicing the furnace board to avoid
and control electrostatic discharge, which can negatively impact
electronic components. Following the precautions will protect the
control from ESD by safely discharging static electricity buildup to
ground.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the control or the
wiring prior to discharging your body's electrostatic charge to ground.
2. To ground yourself, touch your hand and tools to a clean, metal
(unpainted) surface near the control board.
3. Touch the chassis before servicing the furnace. Your body recharges
with static electricity as you shuffle your feet or move around, and you
must reground yourself.
4. Reground yourself if you touch ungrounded items.
5. Reground yourself before handling a new control. Store used and new
controls in separate containers before touching ungrounded objects.
6. ESD damage can also be prevented by using an ESD service kit.
