OPERATION

A W call from the thermostat engages the Inducer Draft motor, provided that the system safety switches (Main and Over-temperature switches in series) are closed. The Vent Pressure switch closes. After a 30 second pre-purge, gas valve and spark are engaged. The ignitor turns off after flame is sensed or at the end of the trial for ignition, whichever comes first. If flame is not sensed, the board performs a retry. When flame is sensed, previous retries are cleared. After the Heat blower On-delay, the Blower motor engages at HEAT speed. When W call is satisfied, the gas valve is turned off. The Inducer motor turns off after 10 seconds and Blower motor turns off according to Heat Blower Off-delay setting.
A G call from the thermostat will engage Blower motor without delay at FAN speed. It disengages without delay when G call is removed. A Y call from the thermostat will engage Blower motor without delay at COOL speed. It disengages 45 seconds after Y call is satisfied.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS

1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the control or the wiring prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic charge to ground.
2. To ground yourself, touch your hand and tools to a clean, metal (unpainted) furnace surface near the control board.
3. Service the furnace after touching the chassis. Your body will recharge with static electricity as you shuffle your feet or move around, and you must reground yourself.
4. Reground yourself if you touch ungrounded items.
5. Before handling a new control, reground yourself; this will protect the control. Store used and new controls in separate containers before touching ungrounded objects.
6. ESD damage can also be prevented by using an ESD service kit.

CAUTION!
Use caution when installing and servicing the furnace to avoid and control electrostatic discharge; ESD can impact electronic components. These precautions must be followed to prevent electrostatic discharge from hand tools and personnel. Following the precautions will protect the control from ESD by discharging static electricity buildup to ground.

REMOVE EXISTING CONTROL

1. Turn thermostat to OFF position or set itto the lowest possible setting.

2. Turn OFF electrical supply to furnace.

3. Turn OFF gas supply to furnace.
   CAUTION: Failure to turn off gas and electric supplies can result in explosion, fire, death, or personal injury.

4. Remove furnace blower and control access doors.

5. Disconnect thermostat wires and humidifier wires (if equipped with a humidifier).

6. Disconnect line voltage, blower, electronic air cleaner wires (if equipped), and transformer wires.

7. Remove screws and any other fasteners, and the old circuit board.

8. Examine control and control box to check for water stains.

9. Make repairs if any sources of water leakage are found. Be sure to check humidifiers, evaporator coils, and vent systems in the area of the control.

CAUTION!
To service control, and prior to disconnection, label all wires. Failure to do so may result in wiring errors that can cause dangerous operation.

INSTALL NEW CONTROL

1. Ground yourself. When handling circuit board, hold it by the edges.
2. Fasten circuit board with retaining screws.
3. Connect all line voltage, low voltage, and accessory wires.
4. Verify the sequence of operation.

LED FAULT CODES

LOCKOUT

The control will enter a 1-hour lockout if:

1. The Gas Valve is sensed on when it should not be.
2. Flame is sensed out of sequence.
3. Flame is not sensed during 4 consecutive trials for ignition.
4. Flame is lost after successful ignition 5 times in one W call.

Note: All lockout types can be cleared by cycling power to the board. Ignition lockouts can also be cleared by cycling the W call.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Twin Function
Twinning functionality allows for simultaneous operation of two furnaces that are: installed side-by-side, connected by a common duct system, supplied main power by the same source, and controlled by a common thermostat. Twinning can be accomplished with two “ICM292A” integrated control boards by implementing the following procedure:

1. Ensure that both furnace control boards have the same part number.
2. Put the transformers of each furnace in-phase by wiring the commons of both transformers together and then connecting the commons to earth ground.
3. Use a wire to connect the “TWIN” terminals of the two furnace control boards.

Note: The “OK” LED will blink five times during a W call if twinning is not set up properly.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Weak or intermittent spark: Make sure the furnace frame is grounded to earth ground.
Ensure that the 24 VAC common is grounded to Earth ground. Check or replace the spark igniter. Check the primary and secondary voltage of the transformer for proper voltage.
Flame Loss: Check, clean, or replace the flame sensor. Check pressure switch.
No flame/Ignition failure: Ensure that the 24 VAC common is grounded to Earth ground. Check, clean, or replace the flame sensor. Check or replace the spark igniter.
Flame out of sequence: Flame out of sequence represents a scenario where flame is sensed while the gas valve is closed. The control enters lockout.
No ignition, main blower runs continuously: Check the high temperature limit switch for open circuit. Check all safeties. Clean or replace air filter. Check duct work and return air ducts for blockages.
