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 secondstage 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.

On-board link W914, is a clippable connection between ter
minals R and DS on the integrated control. W914 must be
cut when the furnace is installed with either the Harmony
III zone control or a thermostat which features humidity
control. If the link is left intact the PMW signal from the Har
mony III control will be blocked and also lead to control
gized eliminating the HEAT MODE in the heat pump.

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.
