Before connecting the thermostat, check to make sure the
wires will be long enough for servicing at a later date. Make
sure that thermostat wire is long enough to facilitate future
removal of blower for service.
Complete the wiring connections to the equipment. Use the
provided unit wiring diagram and the field wiring diagram
shown in figure 32. Use 18−gauge wire or larger that is suit-
able for Class II rating for thermostat connections.
Electrically ground the unit according to local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, according to the current Na-
tional Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70). A green ground
wire is provided in the field make−up box.
NOTE − The EL280UH furnace contains electronic compo-
nents that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the furnace
is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
Accessory Terminals
One line voltage EAC" 1/4" spade terminal is provided on
the furnace integrated control. See figure 33 for integrated
control configuration. This terminal is energized when the
indoor blower is operating. Any accessory rated up to one
amp can be connected to this terminal with the neutral leg
of the circuit being connected to one of the provided neutral
terminals. If an accessory rated at greater than one amp is
connected to this terminal, it is necessary to use an exter-
nal relay.
One line voltage HUM" 1/4" spade terminal is provided on
the furnace integrated control. See figure 33 for integrated
control configuration. This terminal is energized in the
heating mode when the combustion air inducer is operat-
ing. Any humidifier rated up to one amp can be connected
to this terminal with the neutral leg of the circuit being con-
nected to one of the provided neutral terminals. If a humidi-
fier rated at greater than one amp is connected to this termi-
nal, it is necessary to use an external relay relay.
Generator Use − Voltage Requirements
The following requirements must be kept in mind when
specifying a generator for use with this equipment:
S
The furnace requires 120 volts + 10% (Range: 108
volts to 132 volts).
S
The furnace operates at 60 Hz + 5% (Range: 57 Hz to
63 Hz).
S
The furnace integrated control requires both polarity
and proper ground. Both polarity and proper grounding
should be checked before attempting to operate the
furnace on either permanent or temporary power.
S
Generator should have a wave form distortion of less
than 5% total harmonic distortion (THD).
Thermostat
Install the room thermostat according to the instructions
provided with the thermostat. See table 10 for thermostat
designations. If the furnace is being matched with a heat
pump, refer to the FM21 installation instruction or appropri-
ate dual fuel thermostat instructions.
Indoor Blower Speeds
1 − When the thermostat is set to FAN ON," the indoor
blower will run continuously on the low speed when
there is no cooling or heating demand.
2 − When the EL280UH is operating in the high−fire or low−
fire heating mode, the indoor blower will run on the cor-
responding heating speed.
3 − When the EL280UH is operating in the low cool or the
high cool cooling mode, the indoor blower will run on
the corresponding cooling speed.
