WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, ser vice or maintenance can
cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Installation and service must be performed by a li censed professional
HVAC installer (or equivalent) or a service agency.
Application and Requirements
Indoor Transformer Requirements
The following lists the required indoor unit transformer rating (VA) for
specic congurations.

Equipment
The Equipment Interface Module (EIM) is used with an Lennox
communicating thermostat (iComfort Wi-FI® or iComfort® S30) using the R,
i+, i-, and C terminals. The EIM is the interface between non-communicating
HVAC equipment and Lennox communicating HVAC equipment. The
control supports the following equipment applications:

(VA)
NOTE: EIM will support single-stage outdoor units with single-stage or
variable-stage indoor furnaces.

CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can aect electronic components. Take precautions 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. Neutralize electrostatic charge by touching hand and all tools on an unpainted unit surface before performing any service procedure

WARNING
Controls in this module are sensitive to moisture. Do NOT secure this module to the sheet metal cabinet where moisture may condense during periods
of high humidity. Secure the module to a nearby wooden stud, if possible.

Installation
HPIFCAHC
2. Set the EIM Heat Stage Jumper (see “Table 3. Heat Stage Jumpers” on
page 6) to the applicable number of furnace heat stages or number
of electric heat stages.
IMPORTANT
The Lennox communicating thermostat paired with the Equipment
Interface Module (EIM) will work with most 24VAC furnaces, air handlers,
air conditioners and heat pumps (up to 2-stages of cooling and 3-stages
of heat).
The Lennox communicating thermostat without the Equipment Interface
Module (EIM) will work with Lennox communicating HVAC equipment.
1. Remove the module cover.
2. Mount the Equipment Interface Module (EIM) near the indoor unit.
3. Use the wiring diagrams reference in the sectoin titled “Field Wiring”
on page 11 to complete the wiring connections for the specic
application and conguration.
Conguration Setup
How the EIM is congured is determined by the system components.
NOTE: Changing jumper positions after the control has been powered-up
requires recommissioning for the change to be recognized.
NOTE: When the Equipment Interface Module is replaced, recommissioning
the Lennox communicating thermostat will also need to be reaccomplished. See the Lennox communicating thermostat Setup
Guide for recommissioning procedure.
The following examples are two typical congurations used with the EIM.
There are other applications as well and are address in the wiring diagrams
section titled “Field Wiring” on page 11. Those diagrams will indicate all
required jumper settings on the EIM and wiring connections.
3. Use the Lennox communicating thermostat to complete the
commissioning procedure.
EIM, Lennox Communicating Furnace and 24VAC Heat Pump
See “Figure 12. Dual-Fuel - Lennox Communicating Furnace with
Conventional Heat Pump” on page 12f or wiring details.
1. Set the EIM Unit Type Jumper to Heat Pump.
2. Set the EIM Heat Stage Jumper (see “Table 3. Heat Stage Jumpers”
on page 6) to the applicable number of heat pump heating stages.
3. Use the Lennox communicating thermostat to complete the
commissioning procedure.
NOTE: For two-stage heat pump go to the heat pump defrost control,
locate P3 - low ambient thermostat pins and disable this function
by removing the installed jumper and relocating it to one pin only.
Unit Type Jumpers
Set the unit type jumper for the type of indoor unit being by using the
following table and gure. The factory default setting is IFC. If jumper is
missing from the jumper pins, then alarm 130 is activated.

The factory default setting is position 2 (two heat stages). If jumper is
missing from the jumper pins, then alarm 130 is activated. Depending on
the type of equipment and system set up being used:
• Set the number of stages of electric heat (air handler) when jumper pin
selection is AHC selection.
• Set the number of stage of gas heat (Furnace) when jumper pin selection
is IFC.
• Set the number of stages of the compressor when jumper pin selection
is HP.
24VAC Heat Pump Size Setting
Heat pump size must be congured when using a non-communicating heat
pump using the Heat Pump Size jumper (see gure 4 and table 5). Factory
default setting is for 3.0 (3-ton). If jumper is missing from jumper pins then
alarm 130 is activated.
