Replacement Description

The ICM275 Gas Furnace Control Center is a new generation control for the
replacement market.

The ICM275 Gas Furnace Control Center is designed to function similarly to previous
control center designs, while incorporating some of the latest features in furnace
control center technology.

It is a form, t and functional replacement of the OEM control for the following Carrier
control center part numbers: HH84AA021, HH84AA001, HH84AA003, HH84AA005,
HH84AA009, HH84AA014, HH84AA015, or CESO110019.

Operation with new blower and humidier relays:
The previous design control centers used a SPST-NC or DPST-NC heating fan relay
(HFR of E2) and a DPDT cooling fan relay (CFR or 2F) for blower and humidier
terminal operation. This new control center uses a SPST-NO blower relay (BLWR)
and a SPDT blower speed change relay (hi/lo) for blower operation, and a SPST-NO
humidier relay.

1. The low-speed blower will not operate on a transformer failure as on previous
designs.

2. If JW1 jumper is cut between R and GH terminals, a constant low-speed blower
will occur without any thermostat inputs to the control center. A GC or Y signal to
the control center will not bring on the hi-speed blower for cooling operation. JW1
jumper must not be cut on cooling applications.

3. The humidier H terminal is energized with low-speed blower operation. In cooling
operation, the humidistat and humidier water supply should be turned off to ensure
the humidier does not operate.

24 volt circuit protection:

An automotive type, 3 amp fuse is provided to protect the transformer and thermostat
from shorts in the low-voltage circuitry. An open fuse will initiate a constant low-speed
blower. Refer to the ICM275 Component Layout (Page 3) for location on control center.

Low-speed continuous “G” blower and 90-second hi-speed blower OFF delay
option:

Resistor (R18) on the control center can be cut to achieve heating speed continuous

blower with a thermostat (R-G) call and a hi-speed blower with a 90 second OFF delay
with a thermostat (R-Y) call.

CAUTION!

:

Do not cut R18 on twinned furnace applications.

Installation Instructions

CAUTION!

1. Disconnect wiring from blower control center. Tag each wire as it is disconnected
from the old furnace control center. Disconnect all wiring hookups.

2. Remove existing blower control center.

3. Install the ICM275 fan control center into the control center box. Be sure that the top
edge of the ICM275 is in the mounting slot, just like the original board.

CAUTION!

4. Reconnect all of the wire(s) that were removed in Step 1 above, to the proper
terminals.

5. Turn power to ON position and check unit sequence of operation per unit installation
instructions.

6. These instructions must be placed with the original unit instruction packet, or with
the unit for future reference.

:

Verify power is removed from the control by removing fuse or turning
off circuit breaker.

:

If the

ICM275

is not installed correctly (i.e.: behind the slot), an

electrical short could occur.

Component Layout

Introduction

This application guide covers the installation of the Gas Furnace Control Center, Part
No. ICM275, in an intermittent ignition, induced draft, or condensing gas furnace.

Safety Considerations

Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to gas and electrical
components. Only trained personnel should install or service heating equipment.

Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as cleaning coils,
or cleaning and replacing lters. All other operations should be performed by trained
personnel only. When working on heating equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, on tags, and on labels attached to the unit.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Have a re extinguisher
available.

CAUTION!

:

Before beginning the installation or modication, be sure the main
electrical disconnect switch is in the OFF position.

CAUTION!

:

Failure to carefully read and follow these instructions before servicing
or operating this control, could result in personal injury, death and/or
property damage.

Operational Differences and Added Features

The following is a description of the slight operational differences and added

Troubleshooting

WARNING!

CAUTION!

CAUTION!

Continuous low speed blower • Check for open fuse

Blower speed not correct • Check if R18 is cut

No fan for heating or cooling • Check for 24 VAC at SEC1 and SEC2

No fan delays • Verify test pins are not shorted

No fan on heat call • Check for 24 VAC at R and C terminals

Status LED blinking • Status LED blinks when 24 VAC is applied to

Intermittent fan operation • Check for constant 24 VAC at R and C terminals

:

High voltage! Troubleshooting this fan control board involves
working with high voltage which can result in personal injury, death
and/or property damage.

:

Always disconnect power by removing a fuse or opening a circuit
breaker before doing continuity checks. Verify power is not present
before troubleshooting.

:

Troubleshooting tasks should only be performed by those trained to
install or service HVAC equipment.

Symptom Remedy

• Check for open limit

• Check for 24 VAC at R and C terminals

• Check if JW1 is cut

• Check edge connector slot 1 and slot 5; with no
power applied and the edge connector removed,
there should be continuity between edge
connector slot 1 and slot 5

• Check wiring of LO and HI terminals

• Check for 24 VAC at SEC1 and SEC2

• Check edge connector slot 3 and slot 6; with no
power applied and the edge connector removed,
there should be continuity between edge
connector slot 3 and slot 6

SEC1 and SEC2; there are no fault ash codes
for this control

• Bypass thermostat and test operation of fan
control; with no power applied, remove wires
to thermostat; use a jumper wire to initiate a
call for heat/cool blower; if operation is correct,
thermostat or thermostat wire is faulty
