I-UNIT COMPONENTS
EL296DFV(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.
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.

WARNING
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.
4. Integrated Control (A92)
Units are equipped with the icomfort two-stage, variable speed integrated control. This control is used with the icomfort Touch® thermostat as part of a communicating comfort system. The control can also oper ate with a non-communicating conventional single or two­stage 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 13). 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. Once the first stage prove switch is determined to be open, the combustion air inducer is energized on low (first stage) heat speed. When the differential in the prove switch is great enough, the prove switch closes and a 15-second pre-purge begins.
NOTE - During abnormal conditions such as low supply voltage or low outdoor temperatures and the low fire pres sure switch does not close, the combustion air inducer will switch to high fire. After a 15 second pre-purge the high fire pressure switch will close and the unit will begin operation on high fire. After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the unit will switch to low fire
After the 15-second pre-purge period, the SureLight ignitor warms up for 20 seconds after which the gas valve opens for a 4-second trial for ignition. The ignitor remains ener gized during the trial until flame is sensed. If ignition is not

proved during the 4-second period, the control will try four more times with an inter purge and warm-up time between trials of 35 seconds. After a total of five trials for ignition (in cluding the initial trial), the control goes into Watchguard­Flame Failure mode. After a 60-minute reset period, the control will begin the ignition sequence again.
Two Stage Operation / Thermostat Selection DIP Switch
The control can be utilized in two modes: SINGLE-STAGE thermostat or TWO-STAGE thermostat. The thermostat selection is made using a DIP switch and must be posi tioned for the particular application. DIP switch 1, labeled T”STAT HEAT STAGE is factory-set in the OFF position for use with a two-stage thermostat. Move the DIP switch to ON for use with a single stage thermostat. While in the single-stage thermostat mode, the burners will always fire on first-stage heat. The combustion air inducer will operate on low speed and indoor blower will operate on low heat speed. The unit will switch to second stage heat after a "recognition period". DIP switch 2, labeled SECOND STAGE DELAY, is factory set in the OFF position for a 7 minute recognition period. The switch can be moved to the ON position for a 12 minute recognition period, after which time the unit will switch to secondstage heat. While in the two-stage thermostat mode, the burners will fire on first­stage heat. The combustion air inducer will operate on low speed and indoor blower will operate on low heat speed. The unit will switch to second-stage heat on call from the indoor thermostat. If there is a simultaneous call for first and second stage heat, the unit will fire an first stage heat and switch to second stage heat after 30 seconds of opera tion. See Sequence of Operation flow charts in the back of this manual for more detail.

DIP Switch Settings

NOTE - All icomfortt settings are set at the icomfort Wi-Fi thermostat. See icomfortt installation instruction. In icom fortt communication system all DIP switch and clippable link settings are ignored. For conventional thermostats pro ceed with DIP switch and clippable link settings as outlined in the following.
Heating Operation DIP Switch Settings Switch 1 -- Thermostat Selection -- This unit may be
used with either a single-stage or two-stage thermostat. The thermostat selection is made using a DIP switch which must be properly positioned for the particular application. The DIP switch is factory-positioned for use with a two­stage thermostat. If a single-stage thermostat is to be used, the DIP switch must be repositioned.
Select “OFF” for two-stage heating operation con
trolled by a two-stage heating thermostat (factory set ting);
b - Select “ON” for two-stage heating operation con
trolled by a single-stage heating thermostat. This set ting provides a timed delay before second-stage heat is initiated.
Switch 2 -- Second Stage Delay (Used with Single­Stage Thermostat Only) -- This switch is used to deter
mine the second stage on delay when a single-stage ther mostat is being used. The switch is factory-set in the OFF position, which provides a 7-minute delay before second­stage heat is initiated. If the switch is toggled to the ON position, it will provide a 12-minute delay before second­stage heat is initiated. This switch is only activated when the thermostat selector jumper is positioned for SINGLE­stage thermostat use.
Switches 3 and 4 -- Blower-Off Delay -- The blower-on delay of 30 seconds is not adjustable. The blower-off delay (time that the blower operates after the heating demand has been satisfied) can be adjusted by moving switches 3 and 4 on the integrated control. The unit is shipped from the factory with a blower-off delay of 90 seconds. The blower
off delay affects comfort and is adjustable to satisfy individ
®
ual applications. Adjust the blower off delay to achieve a supply air temperature between 90° and 110°F at the exact moment that the blower is de-energized. Longer off delay settings provide lower supply air temperatures; shorter set tings provide higher supply air temperatures.Table 6 pro vides the blower off timings that will result from different switch settings.

WARNING
During blower operation, the ECM motor emits ener gy that may interfere with pacemaker operation. In terference is reduced by both the sheet metal cabinet and distance.
The motor communicates with the integrated control via a 2-way serial connection. The motor receives all necessary functional parameters from the integrated control and does not rely on a factory program like traditional variable speed motors. EL296DFV units use a three‐phase, electronically controlled D.C. brushless motor (controller converts single phase a.c. to three phase D.C.), with a permanent‐magnet‐ type rotor (figure 7). Because this motor has a permanent magnet rotor it does not need brushes like conventional D.C. motors. The stator windings are split into three poles which are electri cally connected to the controller. This arrangement allows motor windings to turn on and off in sequence by the con troller.
IMPORTANT
Earlier ECM motors used on other Lennox furnace models are not interchangeable with motors used on the EL296 furnace line.
A solid‐state controller is permanently attached to the motor. The controller is primarily an A.C. to D.C. con verter. Converted D.C. power is used to drive the motor. The controller contains a microprocessor which moni tors varying conditions inside the motor (such as motor workload).
BLOWER MOTOR COMPONENTS
STATOR
(WINDINGS)
BEARING
ROTOR
FIGURE 7
The controller uses sensing devices to sense what position the rotor is in at any given time. By sensing the position of the rotor and then switching the motor windings on and off in se quence, the rotor shaft turns the blower.
All EL296DFV blower motors use single phase power. An external run capacitor is not used. The motor uses permanently lubricated ball‐type bearings.
Internal Operation
The motor is controlled via serial communication between the integrated control on the furnace and the controller at tached to the motor shell. The messages sent back and forth between the two controls serve to communicate rota tional direction, demand, motor size, current draw, torque, and rpm, among other variables.
Motor rpm is continually adjusted internally to maintain constant static pressure against the blower wheel. The control ler monitors the static work load on the motor and motor amp‐ draw to determine the amount of rpm adjustment. Blower rpm may be adjusted any amount in order to maintain a constant cfm as shown in Blower Ratings Tables. The cfm remains rel atively stable over a broad range of static pressure. Since the blower constantly adjusts rpm to maintain a specified cfm, mo tor rpm is not rated. Hence, the terms “cool speed”, “heat speed ” or “speed tap” in this manual, on the unit wiring dia gram and on blower B3, refer to blower cfm regardless of mo tor rpm.
Initial Power Up
When line voltage is applied to B3, there will be a large inrush of power lasting less than 1/4 second. This inrush charges a bank of DC filter capacitors inside the controller. If the discon nect switch is bounced when the disconnect is closed, the dis connect contacts may become welded. Try not to bounce the disconnect switch when applying power to the unit.
Page 23
Page 24
Motor Start‐Up
When B3 begins start‐up, the motor gently vibrates back and forth for a moment. This is normal. During this time the elec tronic controller is determining the exact position of the rotor. Once the motor begins turning, the controller slowly eases the motor up to speed (this is called “soft‐start”). The motor may take as long as 10‐15 seconds to reach full speed. If the motor does not reach 200 rpm within 13 seconds, the motor shuts down. Then the motor will immediately attempt a re start. The shutdown feature provides protection in case of a frozen bearing or blocked blower wheel. The motor may at tempt to start eight times. If the motor does not start after the eighth try, the controller locks out. Reset controller by momen tarily turning off power to unit.
The DC filter capacitors inside the controller are connected electrically to the motor supply wires. The capacitors take approximately 5 minutes to discharge when the disconnect is opened. For this reason it is necessary to wait at least 5 minutes after turning off power to the unit before attempt ing to service motor.
DANGER
Disconnect power from unit and wait at least five minutes to allow capacitors to discharge before at tempting to service motor. Failure to wait may cause personal injury or death.
Power Choke (L13)
A choke coil is used on EL296DFV 4 and 5 ton units equipped with 1 hp motors. The choke is located on the blower housing and is used to suppress transient current spikes.
Troubleshooting Motor Operation
To verify motor operation see steps below and figures 8 and 9.
1- Remove J48 (5 pin power plug) from P48 on the mo
tor.
2- With the power on at the furnace and door switch de
pressed, use a test meter to verify 120V between pins
4 and 5 on J48.
3- Reconnect J48 to P48 on the motor.
4- Remove J49 (4 pin low voltage connector) from P49
on the motor.
5- Using test jumpers, apply 24V to pins 3 and 4 on P49
on the motor.
Note: Do not apply 24V to pins 2 and 4 on P49. Doing so will cause permanent damage to the motor.
6- Motor should run at 75%.
7- Test is complete. Remove jumpers and reconnect
plugs.
Another option is to use the TECMate PRO motor tester
with the 16 to 4 pin adaptor. The use of the TECMate PRO
isolates the motor from the integrated control. Follow the
instructions provided with the kit. If the motor runs do not
replace.

The SureLight
ignitor is made of durable silicon nitride. Ig nitor longevity is enhanced by controlling voltage to the ig nitor. The integrated control provides a regulated 120 volts to the ignitor for a consistent ignition and long ignitor life. Ohm value should be 39 to 70. See figure 13 for ignitor location and figure 14 for ignitor check out.
FIGURE 10
TEST A
Measure the resistance between each of the three motor leads (3-pin plug) and the unpainted part of the end shield.
If the winding resistance to ground is <100k ohms, replace the motor and control module. If the resistance to ground is >100k, the motor windings are fine. Proceed to Test B.

TEST B
Use an ohmmeter to measure the motor phase-to-phase resistance by checking these combinations of the the 3-pin motor plug. For the purpose of this test, start at either end of the connector as lead 1.
NOTE - The EL296DFV(X) furnace contains electronic components that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the furnace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
2. Flame Sensor
A flame sensor is located on the left side of the burner sup port. See figure 13. The sensor tip protrudes into the flame envelope of the left-most burner. The sensor can be re moved for service without removing any part of the burn ers. During operation, flame is sensed by current passed through the flame and sensing electrode. The SureLight control allows the gas valve to remain open as long as flame signal is sensed. To check flame sense signal use the push-button found on the integrated control and go to Field Test Mode. The menu will display the flame signal. See table 15 for flame signal.

3. Gas Valve
The valve (figure 51) is internally redundant to assure safe ty shut-off. If the gas valve must be replaced, the same type valve must be used.
24VAC terminals and gas control knob are located on the valve. A wire harness connects the terminals from the gas valve to the electronic ignition control. 24V applied to the termi nals energizes the valve.
Inlet and outlet pressure taps are located on the valve. A regu lator adjustment screw is located on the valve.
LPG change over kits are available from Lennox. Kits include burner orifices and a gas valve.
Page 26
Page 27
4. Flame Rollout Switches (S47)
Flame rollout switch is a high temperature limit located on top of the burner box, one on each side.- See figure 13. The limit is a N.C. SPST manual‐reset limit. When S47 senses rollout, the circuit breaks and the ignition control immedi ately stops ignition and closes the gas valve. Rollout can be caused by a blocked heat exchanger, flue or lack of com bustion air. The switch is factory set to trip (open) at 210°F and cannot be adjusted. The switch can be manually reset. To manually reset a tripped switch, push the reset button lo cated on the control.
5. Burners
All units use inshot burners. Burners are factory set and re quire no adjustment. Always operate the unit with the burner box front panel in place. Each burner uses an orifice (see table 28 for orifice size) that is precisely matched to the burn
EL296DFV HEATING COMPONENTS
er input. Burners can be removed as a one piece assembly for service. If burner assembly has been removed, it is critical to align center of each burner to the center of the clamshell when re-installing. See more detail in Section VI- MAINTE NANCE.
6. Primary Limit Control (S10)
The primary limit (S10) is located in the heating vestibule pan el. When excess heat is sensed in the heat exchanger, the limit will open. If the limit is open, the furnace control energizes the supply air blower and closes the gas valve. The limit auto matically resets when unit temperature returns to normal. The switch must reset within three minutes or the SureLight control will go into Watch guard for one hour. The switch is factory set and cannot be adjusted. The switch may have a different set point for each unit model number. See Lennox Repair Parts Handbook if limit switch must be replaced,

7. Combustion Air Inducer (B6) and Cold End Header Box
All EL296DFV(X) units use a two-stage combustion air in ducer to move air through the burners and heat exchanger during heating operation. The blower uses a 120VAC mo tor. The motor operates during all heating operation and is controlled by integrated control control A92. The inducer also operates for 15 seconds before burner ignition (pre‐ purge) and for 5 seconds after the gas valve closes (post‐ purge). The inducer operates on low speed during first­stage heat, then switches to high speed for second stage heat.
NOTE - Each furnace model uses a unique CAI. Refer to Lennox Repair Parts listing for correct inducer for replace ment.
The combustion air inducer is installed on the cold end header box. The cold end header box is a single piece made of hard plastic. The box has an internal channel where the combustion air inducer creates negative pres sure at unit start up. The channel contains an orifice used to regulate flow created by the combustion air inducer. The box has pressure taps for the combustion air inducer pressure switch hoses. The pressure switch measures the pressure differential across the combustion air induc er orifice or difference in the channel and the box. If re
placement is necessary the gaskets used to seal the box to the vestibule panel and the combustion air in ducer to the box, must also be replaced.
A proving switch connected to the combustion air inducer ori fice plate is used to prove inducer operation. The combustion air inducer orifice will be different for each model. See table 16 for orifice sizes. The pressure switch measures the pres sure differential across the combustion air inducer orifice. When the proving switch opens, the furnace control (A92) im mediately closes the gas valve to prevent burner operation.
TABLE 16
EL296DFV(X) Unit
C.A.I. Orifice Size
The switches are a single‐pole single‐throw proving switch
electrically connected to the integrated control. The purpose
of the switch is to prevent burner operation if the combustion
air inducer is not operating or if the flue becomes obstructed.
On heat demand (first or second stage) the switch senses that the combustion air inducer is operating. It closes a cir cuit to the integrated control when pressure inside the com bustion air inducer decreases to a certain set point. Set points vary depending on unit size. See table 17. The pressure sensed by the switch is negative relative to atmo spheric pressure. If the flue becomes obstructed during op eration, the switch senses a loss of negative pressure (pressure becomes more equal with atmospheric pres sure) and opens the circuit to the furnace control and gas valve. A bleed port on the switch allows relatively dry air in the vestibule to purge switch tubing, to prevent condensate build up.

8. Combustion Air Inducer Pressure Switch (S18)
EL296DFV(X) series units are equipped with a dual com bustion air pressure switch (first and second stage) located on the combustion air inducer orifice bracket. See figure 15. The switch is connected to the combustion air inducer hous ing by means of a flexible silicone hose. It monitors negative air pressure in the combustion air inducer housing.
Page 29
NOTE - The switch is factory set and is not field adjustable. It is a safety shut‐down control in the furnace and must not be by-passed for any reason. If switch is closed or by­passed, the control will not initiate ignition at start up.

Joint Cementing Procedure
All cementing of joints should be done according to the specifications outlined in ASTM D 2855.
NOTE - A sheet metal screw may be used to secure the intake pipe to the connector, if desired. Use a drill or self tapping screw to make a pilot hole.
DANGER
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
Fumes from PVC glue may ignite during system check. Allow fumes to dissipate for at least 5 minutes before placing unit into operation.
1 - Measure and cut vent pipe to desired length. 2 - Debur and chamfer end of pipe, removing any ridges
or rough edges. If end is not chamfered, edge of pipe may remove cement from fitting socket and result in a leaking joint.
NOTE - Check the inside of vent pipe thoroughly for any obstruction that may alter furnace operation.
3 - Clean and dry surfaces to be joined. 4 - Test fit joint and mark depth of fitting on outside of pipe. 5 - Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or
use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting socket.
6 - Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and in
side socket surface of fitting. Cement should be ap plied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket. Take care to keep excess cement out of socket. Apply sec ond coat to end of pipe.
NOTE - Time is critical at this stage. Do not allow prim er to dry before applying cement.
7 - Immediately after applying last coat of cement to pipe,
and while both inside socket surface and end of pipe are wet with cement, forcefully insert end of pipe into socket until it bottoms out. Turn PVC pipe 1/4 turn dur ing assembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to dis tribute cement evenly. DO NOT turn ABS or cellular core pipe.
NOTE - Assembly should be completed within 20 sec onds after last application of cement. Hammer blows should not be used when inserting pipe.
8 - After assembly, wipe excess cement from pipe at end
of fitting socket. A properly made joint will show a bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may indi cate an improper assembly due to insufficient sol vent.

FURNACE
(Replaced by EL193)
If an EL296DFV furnace replaces a furnace which was commonly vented with another gas appliance, the size of the existing vent pipe for that gas appliance must be checked. Without the heat of the original furnace flue prod ucts, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized for the single water heater or other appliance. The vent should be checked for proper draw with the remaining appliance.

9. In areas where piping penetrates joists or interior walls, hole must be large enough to allow clearance on all sides of pipe through center of hole using a hanger.
10. When furnace is installed in a residence where unit is shut down for an extended period of time, such as a vacation home, make provisions for draining conden sate collection trap and lines.
Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a venting system commonly run with separate gas ap pliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
Conduct the following test while each appliance is operat ing and the other appliances (which are not operating) re main connected to the common venting system. If the venting system has been installed improperly, you must correct the system as indicated in the general venting re quirements section.
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each
appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon mon oxide poisoning or death. The following steps shall be followed for each ap pliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
1 - Seal any unused openings in the common venting sys
tem.
2 - Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal
pitch. Determine that there is no blockage, restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3 - Close all building doors and windows and all doors be
tween the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dry
ers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will oper ate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer ex haust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
4 - Follow the lighting instructions. Turn on the appliance
that is being inspected. Adjust the thermostat so that the appliance operates continuously.
5 - After the main burner has operated for 5 minutes, test
for leaks of flue gases at the draft hood relief opening. Use the flame of a match or candle.
6 - After determining that each appliance connected to the
common venting system is venting properly, (step 3) return all doors, widows, exhaust fans, fireplace damp ers, and any other gas-burning appliances to their pre vious mode of operation.
7 - If a venting problem is found during any of the preced
ing tests, the common venting system must be modi fied to correct the problem.
Resize the common venting system to the minimum vent pipe size determined by using the appropriate tables in Appendix G. (These are in the current stan dards of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
Exhaust Piping (Figures 23 and 24)
Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with installa tion following instructions given in piping termination sec tion.
CAUTION
Do not discharge exhaust into an existing stack or stack that also serves another gas appliance. If verti cal discharge through an existing unused stack is re quired, insert PVC pipe inside the stack until the end is even with the top or outlet end of the metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pres sure and must be completely sealed to prevent leak age of combustion products into the living space.

NOTE - Lennox has approved the use of DuraVent Centrotherm manufactured vent pipe and terminations as
®
an option to PVC. When using the PolyPro InnoFlue
®
by Centrotherm venting system the vent pipe re
by DuraVent or
quirements stated in the unit installation instruction – min imum & maximum vent lengths, termination clearances, etc. – apply and must be followed. Follow the instructions provided with PoyPro by DuraVent and InnoFlue by Cen trotherm venting system for assembly or if requirements are more restrictive. The PolyPro by Duravent and In noFlue by Centrotherm venting system must also follow the uninsulated and unconditioned space criteria listed in table 22.
The EL296DFV can be installed as either a Non-Direct Vent or a Direct Vent gas central furnace.
NOTE - In Non‐Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace and flue gases are discharged outdoors. In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
Intake and exhaust pipe sizing -- Size pipe according to
tables 20 and 21. Count all elbows inside and outside the home. Table 20 lists the minimum vent pipe lengths per mitted. Table 21 lists the maximum pipe lengths permitted.

Regardless of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof and wall terminations described in section Exhaust Piping Terminations should be used. Exhaust vent termination pipe is sized to optimize the velocity of the exhaust gas as it exits the termination. Refer to table 24.
In some applications which permit the use of several differ ent sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may be used. Contact Lennox' Application Department for assis tance in sizing vent pipe in these applications.
®
and
NOTE - Exhaust pipe MUST be glued to furnace exhaust fittings.
NOTE - Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to make sure there are no sags or low spots.
NOTE - If right side venting option is used, you must include the elbow at the furnace in the elbow count. If transitioning to 3” dia pipe, this elbow equates to 20' of equivalent vent length for all models.
Use the following steps to correctly size vent pipe diameter.

Intake Piping
The EL296DFV furnace may be installed in either direct
vent or non-direct vent applications. In non-direct vent
applications, when intake air will be drawn into the furnace
from the surrounding space, the indoor air quality must be
considered. Guidelines listed in Combustion, Dilution and
Ventilation Air section must be followed.
Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in Direct
Vent applications, where combustion air is taken from
outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors. The
provided air intake screen must not be used in direct
vent applications (outdoors).
1 - Use cement or a sheet metal screw to secure the in
take pipe to the inlet air connector.
2 - If intake air is drawn from a ventilated crawlspace (fig
ure 28) or ventilated attic (figure 27) the exhaust vent
length must not exceed those listed in table 23. If 3” di
ameter pipe is used, reduce to 2” diameter pipe to ac
commodate the debris screen.
3 - Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with
installation following instructions given in general
guide lines for piping terminations and intake and ex
haust piping terminations for direct vent sections. Re

Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in Non‐ Direct Vent applications where combustion air is taken from indoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
1 - Use field-provided materials and the factory-provided
air intake screen to route the intake piping as shown in figure 29. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3” (76mm) around the air intake opening. The air intake opening (with the protective screen) should always be directed forward, or sideways.
2 - Use cement to secure the intake pipe to the connector,
if desired.
General Guidelines for Vent Terminations
In Non‐Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken from indoors and the flue gases are discharged to the out doors. The EL296DFV is then classified as a non‐direct vent, Category IV gas furnace.
In Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken from outdoors and the flue gases are discharged to the out
doors. The EL296DFV is then classified as a direct vent, Category IV gas furnace.
In both Non‐Direct Vent and Direct Vent applications, the vent termination is limited by local building codes. In the absence of local codes, refer to the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223-1/NFPA 54 in U.S.A., and current CSA-B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes in Canada for details.
Position termination according to location given in figure 31 or 32. In addition, position termination so it is free from any obstructions and 12” above the average snow accumula tion.
At vent termination, care must be taken to maintain protective coatings over building materials (prolonged exposure to exhaust condensate can destroy protective coatings). It is recommended that the exhaust outlet not be located within 6 feet (1.8m) of an outdoor AC unit because the condensate can damage the painted coating.
NOTE - See table 22 for maximum allowed exhaust pipe length without insulation in unconditioned space during winter design temperatures below 32°F (0°C). If required exhaust pipe should be insulated with 1/2” (13mm) Arma flex or equivalent. In extreme cold climate areas, 3/4” (19mm) Armaflex or equivalent may be necessary. Insula tion must be protected from deterioration. Armaflex with UV protection is permissable. Basements or other en closed areas that are not exposed to the outdoor ambient temperature and are above 32 degrees F (0°C) are to be considered conditioned spaces.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-ups and may block the terminations.
IMPORTANT
For Canadian Installations Only: In accordance to CSA International B149 installation codes, the minimum allowed distance between the combustion air intake inlet and the exhaust outlet of other appliances shall not be less than 12 inches (305mm).

Details of Intake and Exhaust Piping Terminations for Direct Vent Installations
NOTE - In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is tak en from outdoors and flue gases are discharged to out doors.
NOTE - Flue gas may be slightly acidic and may adversely affect some building materials. If any vent termination is used and the flue gasses may impinge on the building ma terial, a corrosion-resistant shield (minimum 24 inches square) should be used to protect the wall surface. If the optional tee is used, the protective shield is recommended. The shield should be constructed using wood, plastic, sheet metal or other suitable material. All seams, joints, cracks, etc. in the affected area should be sealed using an appropriate sealant. See figure 36.
Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In at tic or closet installations, vertical termination through the roof is preferred. Figures 33 through 41 show typical ter minations.
1. Vent terminations are not required to be in the same pressure zone. You may exit the intake on one side of the structure and the exhaust on another side (figure
34). You may exit the exhaust out the roof and the in take out the side of the structure (figure 35).
2. Intake and exhaust pipes should be placed as close together as possible at termination end (refer to il lustrations). Maximum separation is 3” (76mm) on roof terminations and 6” (152mm) on side wall termina tions.
NOTE - When venting in different pressure zones, the maximum separation requirement of intake and ex haust pipe DOES NOT apply.
3. On roof terminations, the intake piping should termi nate straight down using two 90° elbows (See figure
33).
4. Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as shown. A reducer may be required on the exhaust pip ing at the point where it exits the structure to improve the velocity of exhaust away from the intake piping. See table 24.

5. On field-supplied terminations for side wall exit, ex haust piping may extend a maximum of 12 inches (305mm) for 2” PVC and 20 inches (508mm) for 3” (76mm) PVC beyond the outside wall. Intake piping should be as short as possible. See figure 36.
NOTE - Care must be taken to avoid recirculation of exhaust back into intake pipe.
6. On field supplied terminations, a minimum distance between the end of the exhaust pipe and the end of the intake pipe without a termination elbow is 8” and a minimum distance of 6” with a termination elbow. See figure 36.

7. If intake and exhaust piping must be run up a side wall to position above snow accumulation or other ob structions, piping must be supported. At least one bracket must be used within 6” from the top of the el bow and then every 24” (610mm) as shown in figure 36, to prevent any movement in any direction. When exhaust and intake piping must be run up an outside
wall, the exhaust piping must be terminated with pipe sized per table 24.The intake piping may be equipped with a 90° elbow turndown. Using turndown will add 5 feet (1.5m) to the equivalent length of the pipe.
8. A multiple furnace installation may use a group of up to four terminations assembled together horizontally, as shown in figure 39.

Details of Exhaust Piping Terminations for Non‐Direct Vent Applications
Exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In attic or closet installations, vertical termination through the roof is pre ferred. Figures 42 through 43 show typical terminations.
1. Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as shown. The termination pipe must be sized as listed in table 24.The specified pipe size ensures proper ve locity required to move the exhaust gases away from the building.
2. On field supplied terminations for side wall exit, ex haust piping may extend a maximum of 12 inches (305mm) for 2” PVC and 20 inches (508mm) for 3” (76mm) PVC beyond the outside wall.
Page 50

Condensate Piping
This unit is designed for either right‐ or left‐side exit of con densate piping. Refer to figures 44 and 46 for condensate trap locations.
FIGURE 44
1 - Determine which side condensate piping will exit the
unit, location of trap, field-provided fittings and length of PVC pipe required to reach available drain.
2 - For furnaces with a 1/2” drain connection use a 3/8 al
len wrench and remove plug (figure 44) from the cold end header box at the appropriate location on the side of the unit. Install field-provided 1/2 NPT male fitting into cold end header box. For furnaces with a 3/4” drain connection use a large flat head screw driver or a 1/2” drive socket extension and remove plug. Install provided 3/4 NPT street elbow fitting into cold end header box. Use Teflon tape or appropriate pipe dope.
3 - Install the cap over the clean out opening at the base
of the trap. Secure with clamp. See figure 49 (3/4” drain connection) or 50 (1/2” drain connection).
4 - Install drain trap using appropriate PVC fittings, glue
all joints. Glue the provided drain trap as shown in fig ure 49 or 50. Route the condensate line to an open drain.
5 - Figure 47 shows the furnace and evaporator coil using
a separate drain. If necessary, the condensate line from the furnace and evaporator coil can drain togeth er. See figure 48. The field provided vent must be a minimum 1” to a maximum 2” length above the con densate drain outlet connection.
NOTE - If necessary the condensate trap may be installed up to 5 feet away from the furnace. Piping from furnace must slope down a minimum of 1/4” per ft. toward trap.
Page 51
Page 52
NOTE - Appropriately sized tubing and barbed fitting may be used for condensate drain. Attach to the drain on the trap using a hose clamp. See figure 45.

Condensate line must slope downward away from the trap to drain. If drain level is above condensate trap, condensate pump must be used. Condensate drain line should be routed within the conditioned space to avoid freezing of condensate and blockage of drain line. If this is not possible, a heat cable kit may be used on the condensate trap and line. Heat cable kit is avail able from Lennox in various lengths; 6 ft. (1.8m) - kit no. 26K68; 24 ft. (7.3m) - kit no. 26K69; and 50 ft. (15.2m) - kit no. 26K70.

III-START‐UP
A-Preliminary and Seasonal Checks
1 - Inspect electrical wiring, both field and factory installed
for loose connections. Tighten as required.
2 - Check voltage at disconnect switch. Voltage must be with
in range listed on the nameplate. If not, consult the power company and have voltage condition corrected be fore starting unit.
3 - Inspect condition of condensate traps and drain as
sembly. Disassemble and clean seasonally.
B-Heating Start‐Up
BEFORE LIGHTING the unit, smell all around the fur
nace area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor be cause some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
The gas valve on the EL296DFV is equipped with a gas control switch. Use only your hand to move the switch. Never use tools. If the the switch will not move by hand, replace the valve. Do not try to repair it. Force or at tempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the furnace into operation:

IV-HEATING SYSTEM SERVICE CHECKS
A-CSA Certification
All units are CSA design certified without modifications. Refer to the EL296DFV(X) Installation Instruction.
B-Gas Piping
CAUTION
If a flexible gas connector is required or allowed by the authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall be installed at the gas valve and extend outside the furnace cabinet.
WARNING
Do not exceed 600 in-lbs (50 ft-lbs) torque when attaching the gas piping to the gas valve.
Gas supply piping should not allow more than 0.5”W.C. drop in pressure between gas meter and unit. Supply gas pipe must not be smaller than unit gas connection.
Compounds used on gas piping threaded joints should be resistant to action of liquefied petroleum gases.
C-Testing Gas Piping
IMPORTANT
through Lennox under part number 31B2001. See Corp. 8411-L10, for further details.
Do not use matches, candles, flame or any other source of ignition to check for gas leaks.
D-Testing Gas Supply Pressure
An inlet pressure post located on the gas valve provides ac cess to the supply pressure. See figure 51. Back out the 3/32 hex screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing and connect to a manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 28 for supply line pressure.
E-Check Manifold Pressure
NOTE - Pressure test adapter kit (10L34) is available from Lennox to facilitate manifold pressure measurement.
A manifold pressure post located on the gas valve provides access to the manifold pressure. See figure 51. Back out the 3/32 hex screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing and connect to a manometer to measure manifold pres sure. To correctly measure manifold pressure, the differential pressure between the positive gas manifold and the nega tive burner box must be considered.
IMPORTANT
For safety, connect a shut‐off valve between the ma nometer and the gas tap to permit shut off of gas pressure to the manometer.
In case emergency shutdown is required, turn off the main shut‐off valve and disconnect the main power to unit. These controls should be properly labeled by the installer.
When pressure testing gas lines, the gas valve must be dis connected and isolated. Gas valves can be damaged if subjected to more than 0.5 psig (14” W.C.). See figure 52. If the pressure is greater than 0.5psig (14”W.C.), use the manual shut-off valve before pressure testing to isolate fur nace from gas supply.

I- Proper Ground and Voltage
A poorly grounded furnace can contribute to premature ig nitor failure. Use the following procedure to check for ground and voltage to the integrated control. 1 - Measure the AC voltage between Line Neutral (spade
terminals) and “C” terminal (low voltage terminal block) on the integrated control. See figure 53. A wide variation in the voltage between Line Neutral and “C” as a function of load indicates a poor or partial ground. Compare the readings to the table below. If the read ings exceed the maximum shown in table 1, make re pairs before operating the furnace.
2 - In addition, measure the AC voltage from Line Hot to
Line Neutral (spade terminals) on the integrated con trol. See figure 53. This voltage should be in the range of 97 to 132 Vac

V-TYPICAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
A-Blower Operation and Adjustment
1 - Blower operation is dependent on thermostat control
system.
2 - Generally, blower operation is set at thermostat sub
base fan switch. With fan switch in ON position, blower operates continuously. With fan switch in AUTO position, blower cycles with demand or runs continuously while heating or cooling circuit cycles.
3 - Depending on the type of indoor thermostat, blower
and entire unit will be off when the system switch is in OFF position.
B-Temperature Rise (Figure 54)
Temperature rise for EL296DFV units depends on unit in put, blower speed, blower horsepower and static pressure as marked on the unit rating plate. The blower speed must be set for unit operation within the range of “TEMP. RISE °F” listed on the unit rating plate.
3 - With only the blower motor running and the evaporator
coil dry, observe the manometer reading. Adjust blow
er motor speed to deliver the air desired according to
the job requirements. For heating speed (second
stage heat speed) external static pressure drop must
not be more than 0.8” W.C. For cooling speed (second
stage cool speed) external static pressure drop must
not be more than 1.0” W.C.
4 - Seal the hole when the check is complete.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in dangerous operation, serious injury, death or property damage. Improper servicing could result in dangerous opera tion, serious injury, death, or property damage. Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to furnace. When servicing controls, label all wires prior to dis connecting. Take care to reconnect wires correctly. Verify proper operation after servicing.
At the beginning of each heating season, system should be checked as follows by a qualified service technician:
Blower
Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary. The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing life. No further lubrication is needed.
Page 59
Page 60
WARNING
The blower access panel must be securely in place when the blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into living space resulting in personal inju ry or death.
Filters
All air filters are installed external to the unit. Filters should be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the filters when necessary to ensure proper furnace operation. Table 30 lists recommended filter sizes.
IMPORTANT
If a highefficiency filter is being installed as part of this system to ensure better indoor air quality, the fil ter must be properly sized. Highefficiency filters have a higher static pressure drop than standardef ficiency glass/foam filters. If the pressure drop is too great, system capacity and performance may be re duced. The pressure drop may also cause the limit to trip more frequently during the winter and the indoor coil to freeze in the summer, resulting in an increase in the number of service calls.
Before using any filter with this system, check the specifications provided by the filter manufacturer against the data given in the appropriate Lennox Product Specifications bulletin. Additional informa tion is provided in Service and Application Note ACC002 (August 2000).

Electronic Ignition
The two-stage, variable speed integrated control used in EL296DFV units has an added feature of an internal Watch guard control. The feature serves as an automatic reset de vice for ignition control lockout caused by ignition failure. Af ter one hour of continuous thermostat demand for heat, the Watchguard will break and remake thermostat demand to the furnace and automatically reset the control to begin the ignition sequence.
NOTE - The ignition control thermostat selection DIP switch is factory-set in the “TWO-STAGE” position.
Applications Using a Two-Stage Thermostat
See figure 57 for ignition control sequence
A - Heating Sequence -- Integrated Control Thermostat Selection DIP Switch 1 OFF in “Two-Stage” Position (Factory Setting)
1. On a call for heat, thermostat first-stage contacts close sending a signal to the integrated control. The inte grated control runs a self‐diagnostic program and checks high temperature limit switches for normally closed contacts and pressure switches for normally open contacts. The combustion air inducer is ener gized at low speed.
2. Once the control receives a signal that the low pres sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer be gins a 15-second pre-purge in low speed.
NOTE - If the low fire pressure switch does not close
the combustion air inducer will switch to high fire. After a 15 second pre-purge the high fire pressure switch will close and the unit will begin operation on high fire. After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the unit will switch to low fire..
3. After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial ig nitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air in ducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the gas
valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition oc curs. At the same time, the control module sends a sig nal to begin an indoor blower 30-second ON-delay. When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is ener gized on the low fire heating speed, the HUM contacts close energizing the humidifier and 120V ACC termi nal is energized. The furnace will continue this opera tion as long as the thermostat has a first-stage heating demand.
5 - If second-stage heat is required, the thermostat sec
ond-stage heat contacts close and send a signal to the integrated control. The integrated control initiates a 30-second second-stage recognition delay.
NOTE - If the indoor thermostat is set on CONTINU
OUS FAN ON mode, the furnace will light on high fire (second-stage) for 60 seconds to improve heat ex changer warm up. After 60 second warm-up period, furnace will switch to low fire (first-stage).
6 - At the end of the recognition delay, the integrated con
trol energizes the combustion air inducer at high speed. The control also checks the high fire (second stage) pressure switch to make sure it is closed. The high fire (second stage) gas valve is energized and the indoor blower motor is energized for operation at the high fire heating speed.
7 - When the demand for high fire (second stage) heat is
satisfied, the combustion air inducer is switched to the low-fire heating speed and the high-fire (second stage) gas valve is de-energized. The low-fire (first stage) gas valve continues operation. The indoor blower motor is switched to the low-fire heating speed.
8 - When the thermostat demand for low-fire (first stage)
heat is satisfied, the gas valve is de-energized and the field-selected indoor blower off delay begins. The combustion air inducer begins a 5-second post-purge period.
9 - When the combustion air post-purge period is com
plete, the inducer and the HUM contacts are de-ener gized. The indoor blower is de-energized at the end of the off delay as well as the 120V ACC terminal.

B - Heating Sequence -- Integrated Control Thermostat Selection DIP Switch 1 ON in “Single-Stage” Position
NOTE - In these applications, two-stage heat will be initi ated by the integrated control if heating demand has not been satisfied after the field adjustable period (7 or 12 min utes).
1. On a call for heat, thermostat first-stage contacts close sending a signal to the integrated control. The inte grated control runs a self‐diagnostic program and checks high temperature limit switches for normally closed contacts and pressure switches for normally open contacts. The combustion air inducer is ener gized at low speed.
2. Once the control receives a signal that the low pres sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer be gins a 15-second pre-purge in low speed.
NOTE - If the low fire pressure switch does not close the combustion air inducer will switch to high fire. After a 15 second pre-purge the high fire pressure switch will close and the unit will begin operation on high fire. After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the unit will switch to low fire.
3. After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial ig nitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air in ducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the gas
valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition oc curs. At the same time, the control module sends a sig nal to begin an indoor blower 30-second ON-delay. When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is ener gized on the low fire heating speed and the HUM con tacts are energized. The integrated control also initi ates a second-stage on delay (factory-set at 7 min utes; adjustable to 12 minutes).
5 - If the heating demand continues beyond the second-
stage on delay, the integrated control energizes the combustion air inducer at high speed. The control also checks the high fire (second stage) pressure switch to make sure it is closed. The high fire (second stage) gas valve is energized and the indoor blower motor is energized for operation at the high fire heating speed.
6 - When the thermostat heating demand is satisfied, the
combustion air inducer begins a 5-second low speed post-purge. The field-selected indoor blower off delay begins. The indoor blower operates at the low-fire heating speed.
7 - When the combustion air post-purge period is com
plete, the inducer and the HUM contacts are de-ener gized. The indoor blower is de-energized at the end of the off delay as well as the 120V ACC terminal.

Communicating systems using the icomfort Wi-Fi® thermostat require four thermostat wires between the thermostat and the furnace/air handler control and four wires between the outdoor unit and the furnace/air handler control. When a thermostat cable with more than four wires is used, the extra wires must be properly connected to avoid electrical noise. The wires must not be left disconnected.
Use wire nuts to bundle the four unused wires at each end of the cable. A single wire should then be connected to the indoor unit end of the wire bundle and attached to the “C” terminals as shown above.

Push and hold button. Integrated control will display unit size code number for each furnace model for three seconds.
When the correct unit size code is displayed, release button. Selected code will flash for 10-second period. During that period, press and hold push button for 5 seconds. Integrated control will store code in memory and will automatically exit Program Unit Capacity/Size Mode and reset. (If second period expires or push button is held less than five seconds, control will automatically exit Program Capacity/Size Mode and go into IDLE mode without storing unit size code. If this happens, programming function must be repeated).
. If
Verify that the selected unit size code is correct and stored in non-volatile memory by cycling the 24 volt power to the furnace control. (At 24 volt power-up of the furnace control, the 7-segment LED will display a unit size code three horizontal bars display, board does not recognize unit size code function must be repeated)
