If the ICB senses voltage at the GV when not requested, the ICB will energize the draft motor. The ICB will not operate the furnace until voltage is no longer sensed at the GV. The draft motor is stopped when voltage is not sensed at the GV.
Any time the UCB senses voltage at the GV without a call for heat for a continuous
If voltage has been sensed at the GV for at least 15 seconds during the fan on delay for heating and GV voltage or “W1” is lost, the indoor blower is forced on for the length of the fan off delay for heating.
During a call for heat, if the UCB does not sense voltage at the GV for a continuous
However, if during a normal ignition sequence, the NPC has been tested to be open, IDM energized, NPC closes and then the first stage main valve (MV1) is detected as being on, the ignition sequence stops and the IDM is
SAFETY CONTROLS
The UCB monitors the temperature limit switch of gas heat units.
The control circuit includes the following safety controls:
LIMIT SWITCH (LS)
This control is located inside the gas heat compartment and is set to open at the temperature indicated in the Gas Heat Limit Control Settings Table 24. It resets automatically. The limit switch operates when a high temperature condition, caused by inadequate supply air flow occurs, thus shutting down the heater and energizing the blower.
AUXILIARY LIMIT SWITCH (ALS)
This control is located inside the supply air compartment and is set to open at the temperature indicated in the Gas Heat Limit Control Settings Table 24. It resets manually. The limit switch operates when a high temperature condition, caused by inadequate supply air flow occurs, thus shutting down the heater and energizing the blower.
The auxiliary limit switch is wired in series with the limit switch. As such, the UCB cannot distinguish the auxiliary limit and the gas heat limit switch operation except the auxiliary is manual reset. Consequently, the control will respond in the same manner as outlined above under “Limit Switch”.

The ICB monitors the Pressure and Rollout switches of gas heat units.
The control circuit includes the following safety controls:
PRESSURE SWITCH (PS)
Once the draft motor has reached full speed and closes the pressure switch during a normal ignition sequence, if the pressure sw opens for 2 seconds, the GV will be
ROLLOUT SWITCH (ROS)
The rollout switch is wired in series with the pressure switch. As such, the ICB cannot distinguish the rollout switch opera- tion from that of the pressure switch.
Consequently, the control will only respond in the same man- ner as outlined above under “Pressure Switch”. An open roll- out will inhibit the gas valve from actuating.
INTERNAL MICROPROCESSOR FAILURE
If the ICB detects an internal failure, it will turn cease all out- puts, ignore inputs, and display the proper flash code for con- trol replacement. The ICB remains in this condition until replaced.
FLASH CODES
The UCB will initiate a flash code associated with errors within the system. Refer to UNIT CONTROL BOARD FLASH CODES Table 28.
RESETS
Remove the call for heating by lowering the thermostat set- ting lower than the conditioned space temperature. This resets any flash codes.
