I−UNIT COMPONENTS
EL280UH(X) unit components are shown in figure 1. The
gas valve, combustion air inducer and burners can be accessed by removing the access panel. Electrical components are in the control box (figure 2) found in the blower
section.
EL280UH(X) units are factory equipped with a bottom return
air panel in place. The panel is designed to be field removed
as required for bottom air return. Markings are provided for
side return air and may be cut out in the field.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic 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 secondary.
2. Door Interlock Switch (S51)
A door interlock switch is wired in series with line voltage.
When the inner blower access panel is removed the unit
will shut down.

WARNING
Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before servicing. Integrated
control is not field repairable. If control is inoperable, simply replace entire control.
Can cause injury or death. Unsafe operation will result if repair is attempted.
4. Integrated Control (A92)
EL280UH units are equipped with the Lennox two−stage
integrated SureLight
®
control. The system consists of a
ignition / blower control (figures 5 and 6) with control pin
designations in tables 2 and 3 and and ignitor. The control
and ignitor work in combination to ensure furnace ignition
and ignitor durability. The SureLight integrated control,
controls all major furnace operations. The control features
a red LED light, for furnace status and troubleshooting.
The LED flashes in X" + Y" codes. For example using
table 4 under PRESSURE SWITCH CODES", if the red
LED flashes 2 times, then off for 2 seconds then flashes 3
times, the low pressure switch is failed open. The control
also has two 120 volt accessory terminals rated at (1) one
amp each and one 24 volt accessory terminal rated at 0.5
an amp.
Electronic Ignition
At the beginning of the heat cycle the SureLight control
monitors the first stage and second stage combustion air
inducer pressure switch. The control will not begin the
heating cycle if the first stage pressure switch is closed (by−
passed). Likewise the control will not begin the second
stage heating cycle if the second stage pressure switch is
closed, and will remain in first stage heat. However, if the
second stage pressure switch closes during the first stage
heat pre−purge, the control will allow second stage heat.
Once the first stage pressure switch is determined to be
open, the combustion air inducer is energized on low (first
stage) heat speed. When the differential in the pressure
switch is great enough, the pressure switch closes and a
15−second pre−purge begins. If the switch is not proven
within 2−1/2 minutes, the control goes into Watchguard−
Pressure Switch mode for a 5−minute re−set period.
Page 9
Page 9
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 energizes 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 (including the initial trial), the control goes into Watchguard−Flame Failure
mode. After a 60−minute reset period, the control will begin
the ignition sequence again.
NOTE − During abnormal conditions such as low supply
voltage or low outdoor temperatures and 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.
Two Stage Operation / Thermostat Selection Jumper
The control can be utilized in two modes: SINGLE−STAGE
thermostat or TWO−STAGE thermostat. The thermostat
selection is made using a dip switch (figure 5) and must be
positioned for the particular application. The dip switch is
factory set to OFF" for use with a two−stage thermostat
with two stage heat. Re−position dip switch to ON" for use
with a single stage thermostat with two stage heat.
While in the single−stage thermostat mode (ON DIP switch
setting), 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. After a 10 or 15
minute field selectable recognition period, the unit will
switch to second stage heat. While in the two−stage thermostat mode (OFF DIP switch setting) the burners will 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 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
operation. See Sequence of Operation flow charts in the
back of this manual for more detail.
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 two−
stage thermostat. If a single−stage thermostat is to be used,
the DIP switch must be repositioned.
a − Select OFF" for two−stage heating operation con-
trolled by a two−stage heating thermostat (factory setting);
b − Select ON" for two−stage heating operation con-
trolled by a single−stage heating thermostat. This setting provides a timed delay before second−stage heat
is initiated.
Switch 2 −− Second Stage Delay (Used with Single−
Stage Thermostat Only) −− This switch is used to deter-
mine the second stage on delay when a single−stage thermostat is being used. The switch is factory−set in the OFF
position, which provides a 10−minute delay before second−
stage heat is initiated. If the switch is toggled to the ON
position, it will provide a 15−minute delay before second−
stage heat is initiated. This switch is only activated when
the thermostat selector jumper is positioned for SINGLE−
stage thermostat use.
Switches 3 and 4 −− Heating Blower−Off Delay −− The
heating blower−on delay of 30 seconds is not adjustable.
The heating 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 heating
blower−off delay of 90 seconds. The heating blower off
delay affects comfort and is adjustable to satisfy individual
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 settings provide higher supply air temperatures.Table 1 (with
figure 4) provides the blower off timings that will result from
different switch settings.

position, it will provide a 2−second cooling blower−off delay
On−Board Link W951 Heat Pump (R to O)
On−board link W951 is a clippable connection between ter-
minals R and O on the integrated control. W951 must be cut
when the furnace is installed in applications which include a
heat pump unit and a thermostat which features dual fuel
use. If the link is left intact, terminal O" will remain energized eliminating the HEAT MODE in the heat pump.
On−Board Link W915 2 Stage Compr (Y1 to Y2)
On−board link W915 is a clippable connection between terminals Y1 and Y2 on the integrated control. W915 must be
cut if two−stage cooling will be used. If the Y1 to Y2 link is
not cut the outdoor unit will operate in second−stage cooling
only.

seconds, STATUS LED will go from being continuously
lit to off. This indicates that error code review is pending.
3 − Remove R (2) to (1) short within ten seconds of STA-
TUS LED turning off. This activates error code review.
4 − Last ten error codes will be flashed on the STATUS
LED.
5 − After final error code is indicated, STATUS LED will
flash to indicate normal operation.
Clearing Error Codes
1 − Short R (2) to (1). Within 1/2 second, the STATUS LED
will stay lit continuously to indicate that the short was
sensed.
2 − Continue to hold the short between R (2) to (1). After 5
seconds, STATUS LED will go from being continuously
lit to off.
3 − Continue to hold the short between R (2) to (1) beyond
ten seconds after STATUS LED has turned off. STATUS LED will turn on, indicating that error codes have
been cleared.
4 − Remove R (2) to (1) short. STATUS LED will flash to in-
dicate normal operation.

B− Indoor Blower
5. Blower Motors and Capacitors
All EL280UH(X) units use direct drive blower motors. All motors are 120V permanent split capacitor motors to ensure
maximum efficiency. Ratings for capacitors will be on motor
nameplate. See SPECIFICATIONS section for motor specifications.
C− Heating Components
1. Ignitor
The SureLight
®
ignitor is made of durable silicon nitride. Ignitor longevity is enhanced by controlling voltage to the ignitor. 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 7 for ignitor location and figure 9 for ignitor check out.
NOTE − The EL280UH(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 support. See figure 7. The sensor protrudes into the flame envelope of the left−most burner. The sensor can be removed
for service without removing any part of the burners. 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. A microamp DC meter is needed to check the
flame signal on the integrated control. See figure 8 and
table 5 for flame signal check and measurement.
3. Gas Valve
The two−stage gas valve (figure 12) is internally redundant
to assure safety shut−off. If the gas valve must be replaced,
the same type valve must be used.
24VAC terminals and ON/OFF switch are located on the
valve. A wire harness connects the terminals from the gas
valve to the electronic ignition control. 24V applied to the terminals energizes the valve.
Inlet and outlet pressure taps are located on the valve. A regulator adjustment screw is located on the valve.
LPG change over kits are available from Lennox. Kits include
burner orifices.
4. Flame Rollout Switches (S47)
The EL280UH is equipped with two rollout switches. See
figure 7 for location. The limits are a N.C. SPST manual-reset limit. When S47 senses rollout, the circuit breaks and
the ignition control immediately stops ignition and closes
the gas valve. Rollout can be caused by a blocked heat exchanger, flue or lack of combustion air. The switches are
factory set to trip (open) at 210°F and cannot be adjusted. To
manually reset a tripped switch, push the reset button located
on the control.
5. Burners
All units use inshot burners. Burners are factory set and require no adjustment. Always operate the unit with the burner
box front panel in place. Each burner uses an orifice that is
precisely matched to the burner 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− MAINTENANCE sub−section E−
Heat Exchanger and Burners.
6. Primary Limit Control (S10)
The primary limit (S10) is located in the heating vestibule panel. 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 automatically resets when unit temperature returns to normal. The
switch must reset within three minutes or the SureLight control
will go into Watchguard 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)
All EL280UH(X) units use a two−stage combustion air inducer to move air through the burners and heat exchanger
during heating operation. The blower uses a 120VAC motor. The motor operates during all heating operation and is
controlled by integrated 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 first−stage 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 replacement.
A pressure switch connected to the combustion air inducer
orifice plate is used to prove inducer operation. The combustion air inducer orifice will be different for each model. See
table 6 for orifice sizes. The switch monitors air pressure in
the inducer housing. During normal operation, the pressure in
the housing is negative. If pressure becomes less negative
(signifying an obstruction in the flue) the proving switch
opens. When the proving switch opens, the furnace control
(A92) immediately closes the gas valve to prevent burner operation.

8. Combustion Air Inducer
pressure Switch (S18)
EL280UH(X) series units are equipped with a dual combustion air pressure switch (first and second stage) located on
the combustion air inducer orifice bracket. See figure 10.
The switch is connected to the combustion air inducer housing by means of a flexible silicone hose. It monitors negative
air pressure in the combustion air inducer housing.
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 circuit to the integrated control when pressure inside the combustion air inducer decreases to a certain set point.
Set points vary depending on unit size. See table 7. The
pressure sensed by the switch is negative relative to atmospheric pressure. If the flue becomes obstructed during operation, the switch senses a loss of negative pressure
(pressure becomes more equal with atmospheric pressure) 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.

ure 12.
9 − Replace the access panel.
10− Turn on all electrical power to to the unit.
11− Set the thermostat to desired setting.
NOTE − When unit is initially started, steps 1 through 11
may need to be repeated to purge air from gas line.
Turning Off Gas To Unit
1 − Set thermostat to lowest setting.
2 − Turn off all electrical power to unit if service is to be per-
formed.
3 − Remove access panel.
4 − Move switch on valve to OFF. Do not force.
5 − Replace access panel.
Failure To Operate
If the unit fails to operate, check the following:
1 − Is the thermostat calling for heat?
2 − Are access panels securely in place?
3 − Is the main disconnect switch closed?
4 − Is there a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
5 − Is the filter dirty or plugged? Dirty or plugged filters will
cause the limit control to shut the unit off.
6 − Is gas turned on at the meter?
7 − Is the manual main shut-off valve open?
8 − Is the gas valve ON/OFF switch in the ON position?
9 − Is the unit ignition system in lock out? If the unit locks out
again, call the service technician to inspect the unit for
blockages.
10 −Is pressure switch closed? Obstructed flue will cause
unit to shut off at pressure switch. Check flue and outlet
for blockages.
11 −Are flame rollout switches tripped? If flame rollout
switches are tripped, call the service technician for in-
spection.
C−Safety or Emergency Shutdown
Turn off unit power. Close manual and main gas valves.
D−Extended Period Shutdown
Turn off thermostat or set to UNOCCUPIED" mode. Close
all gas valves (both internal and external to unit) to guarantee no gas leak into combustion chamber. Turn off power to
unit. All access panels and covers must be in place and secured.
IV−HEATING SYSTEM SERVICE CHECKS
A−CSA Certification
All units are CSA design certified without modifications.
Refer to the EL280UH(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.
Page 20
Page 20
Compounds used on gas piping threaded joints should be
resistant to action of liquefied petroleum gases.
C−Testing Gas Piping
IMPORTANT
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 disconnected and isolated. Gas valves can be damaged if
subjected to more than 0.5 psig (14" W.C.). See figure 13. If
the pressure is greater than 0.5psig (14"W.C.), use the
manual shut−off valve before pressure testing to isolate furnace from gas supply.

GAS PIPING TEST PROCEDURE
1/8 NPT PLUG
When checking piping connections for gas leaks, use preferred means. Kitchen detergents can cause harmful corrosion on various metals used in gas piping. Use of a specialty
Gas Leak Detector is strongly recommended. It is available
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
A threaded plug on the inlet side of the gas valve provides
access to the supply pressure tap. Remove the threaded
plug, install a field−provided barbed fitting and connect a
manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 10 for
supply line pressure. Replace the threaded plug after measurements have been taken.
E−Check Manifold Pressure
After line pressure has been checked and adjusted, check
manifold pressure. Checks of manifold pressure are made
as verification of proper regulator adjustment. Manifold pressure for the EL280UH(X) can be measured at any time the
gas valve is open and is supplying gas to the unit.
IMPORTANT
For safety, connect a shut-off valve between the manometer and the gas tap to permit shut off of gas
pressure to the manometer.
The gas valve is factory set and should not require adjustment. All gas valves are factory regulated.
Manifold Adjustment Procedure:
NOTE − Pressure test adapter kit (10L34) is available from
Lennox to facilitate manifold pressure measurement.
1 − Connect test gauge to manifold pressure post (figure
12) on gas valve.
2 − Ignite unit on high fire and let run for 5 minutes to allow
for steady state conditions.
3 − After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record
manifold pressure and compare to value given in table
10.
4 − If necessary, make adjustments. Figure 12 show loca-
tion of high fire adjustment screw.
5 − If an adjustment is made on high fire, re−check man-
ifold pressure on low fire. Do not adjust low fire man-ifold pressure. If low fire manifold pressure is more
than 1/2" above or below value specified in table 10,
replace valve.
NOTE − Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an
accurate reading has been obtained. Take care to replace
pressure tap plug.
F− Proper Gas Flow (Approximate)
Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before checking gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two revolutions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a
more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time
in table 8 below. If manifold pressure matches table 10
and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and
restriction.
NOTE− To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas
appliances connected to meter.

IMPORTANT
For safety, shut unit off and remove manometer as
soon as an accurate reading has been obtained.
Take care to replace pressure tap plug.
G− Proper Combustion
Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct
manifold pressure and gas flow rate before checking combustion. See sections E− and F−. Take combustion sample
beyond the flue outlet. Table 9 shows acceptable combustion for ALL EL280UH models. The maximum carbon
monoxide reading should not exceed 50 ppm.

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 14)
Temperature rise for EL280UH units depends on unit input,
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.

1 − Tap locations shown in figure 15.
2 − Punch a 1/4" diameter hole in supply and return air ple-
nums. Insert manometer hose flush with inside edge of
hole or insulation. Seal around the hose with permagum. Connect the zero end of the manometer to the
discharge (supply) side of the system. On ducted systems, connect the other end of manometer to the return
duct as above.
3 − With only the blower motor running and the evaporator
coil dry, observe the manometer reading. Adjust blower motor speed to deliver the air desired according to
the job requirements. For heating speed external static
pressure drop must not be more than 0.5" W.C. For
cooling speed external static pressure drop must not
be more than 0.8" W.C.
4 − Seal the hole when the check is complete.

controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
At the beginning of each heating season, a qualified techni-
cian should check the system as follows:
A−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.
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 injury or death.
B−Filters
All EL280UH(X) filters are installed external to the unit. Fil-
ters should be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the fil-
ters when necessary to ensure that the furnace operates
properly. Replacement filters must be rated for high veloc-
ity airflow.
C−Flue and Chimney
Check the flue pipe, chimney and all connections for tight-
ness and to make sure there is no blockage.
A Disconnected Vent" warning sticker should be attached
to a visible area of the plenum near the vent pipe. If the
sticker is not legible or missing, order kit 66W04 for re-
placement stickers.
D−Electrical
1 − Check all wiring for loose connections.
2 − Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace
operating). Correct voltage is 120VAC +
10%
3 − Check amp−draw on the blower motor with inner blow-
er access panel in place.
