• The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct sys-
tem, air lters and evaporator coils must be thoroughly
cleaned following nal construction clean-up.
• All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, input
rate, temperature rise and venting) must be veried according to these installation instructions.
General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the
following general recommendations must be considered
when installing a SL280UHV furnace:
• Place the furnace as close to the center of the air distribution system as possible. The furnace should also be
located close to the chimney or vent termination point.
• Do not install the furnace where drafts might blow directly into it. This could cause improper combustion and
unsafe operation.
Use of Furnace as Construction Heater
Lennox does not recommend the use of SL280UHV units
as a construction heater during any phase of construction. Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and
Page 5
• Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with
clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper
combustion and safe unit operation.
• When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insulated space, keep insulation away from the furnace.
• Please consult the manufacturer of your evaporator
coil for their recommendations on distance required
between the heat exchanger and their drain pan. Adequate space must be provided between the drain pan
and the furnace heat exchanger.
NOTE - The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipulates these additional requirements:
• Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumber

Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufcient
outdoor air for combustion. Inltration provided all the air
that was needed. In today’s homes, tight construction
practices make it necessary to bring in air from outside for
combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans, appli-
ance vents, chimneys, and replaces force additional air
that could be used for combustion out of the house. Unless outside air is brought into the house for combustion,
negative pressure (outside pressure is greater than inside
pressure) will build to the point that a downdraft can occur in the furnace vent pipe or chimney. As a result, combustion gases enter the living space creating a potentially
dangerous situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in
this section to install SL280UHV furnaces to ensure efcient and safe operation. You must consider combustion
air needs and requirements for exhaust vents and gas
piping. A portion of this information has been reprinted
with permission from the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI‐
Z223.1). This reprinted material is not the complete and
ofcial position of the ANSI on the referenced subject,
which is represented only by the standard in its entirety.
CAUTION
Do not install the furnace in a corrosive or contaminated
atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventilation air
requirements, as well as all local codes.
CAUTION
Insufcient combustion air can cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause
excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rusting
and premature heat exchanger failure. Excessive
exposure to contaminated combustion air will result
in safety and performance related problems. Avoid
exposure to the following substances in the combustion
air supply:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine base swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
Masonry acid washing materials ermanent waves
All gas-red appliances require air for the combustion
process. If sufcient combustion air is not available, the
furnace or other appliances will operate inefciently and
unsafely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs
of all fuel-burning appliances and appliances such as exhaust fans which force air out of the house. When replaces, exhaust fans, or clothes dryers are used at the
same time as the furnace, much more air is necessary
to ensure proper combustion and to prevent a downdraft.
Insufcient air causes incomplete combustion which can
result in carbon monoxide.
In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air
dilutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contaminants
may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, solvents
and other contaminants which can corrode furnace components.
The requirements for providing air for combustion and
ventilation depend largely on whether the furnace is in-
stalled in an unconned or a conned space.

AIR FLOW
An unconned space is an area such as a basement or
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
This space also includes adjacent rooms which are not
separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be
unconned, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air
for combustion if the structure does not provide enough air
by inltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight
construction with weather stripping and caulking around
the windows and doors, follow the procedures in the air
from outside section.
Conned Space
A conned space is an area with a volume less than 50
cubic feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of
the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. This denition includes furnace closets or small
equipment rooms.
When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry
air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space
containing the furnace, the return air must be handled by
ducts which are sealed to the furnace casing and which
terminate outside the space containing the furnace. This
is especially important when the furnace is mounted on
a platform in a conned space such as a closet or small
equipment room. Even a small leak around the base of
the unit at the platform or at the return air duct connection
can cause a potentially dangerous negative pressure condition. Air for combustion and ventilation can be brought
into the conned space either from inside the building or
from outside.
Air from Inside
If the conned space that houses the furnace adjoins a
space categorized as unconned, air can be brought in by
providing two permanent openings between the two spaces. Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1
square inch (645 mm2) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of
total input rating of all gas-red equipment in the conned
space. Each opening must be at least 100 square inches
(64516 mm2). One opening shall be within 12 inches (305
mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12
inches (305 mm) of the bottom. See gure 3.
Air from Outside
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventila-
tion, the conned space must have two permanent openings. One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of
the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches
(305 mm) of the bottom. These openings must communicate directly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl
or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a
minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 4,000
Btu (1.17 kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment
in the enclosure. See gures 4 and 5. When communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each
opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch
(645 mm2) per 2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of
all equipment in the enclosure. See gure 6.
When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross-sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they
connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts
shall be no less than 3 inches (75 mm). In calculating free
area, the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens
must be considered. If the design and free area of protective covering is not known for calculating the size opening
required, it may be assumed that wood louvers will have
20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles
will have 60 to 75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles
must be xed in the open position or interlocked with the
equipment so that they are opened automatically during
equipment operation.

SERVICE PLATFORM
Improper installation of the furnace can result in
personal injury or death. Combustion and ue products
must never be allowed to enter the return air system or
the living space. Use screws and joint tape to seal the
return air system to the furnace. In platform installations
with bottom return air, the furnace should be sealed
airtight to the return air plenum. A door must never be
used as a portion of the return air duct system. The base
must provide a stable support and an airtight seal to the
furnace. Allow absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.
The return and supply air duct systems must never be
connected to or from other heating devices such as a
replace or stove, etc. Fire, explosion, carbon monoxide
poisoning, personal injury and/or property damage could
result.
The inner blower 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.
Filters
This unit is not equipped with a lter or rack. A eld-provided high-velocity lter is required for the unit to operate
properly. Table 1 lists recommended lter sizes.
A lter must be in place any time the unit is operating.
FIGURE 14
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
If a highefciency lter is being installed as part of this
system to ensure better indoor air quality, the lter must
be properly sized. Highefciency lters have a higher
static pressure drop than standardefciency glass/foam
lters. If the pressure drop is too great, system capacity
and performance may be reduced. The pressure drop
may also cause the limit to trip more frequently during
the winter and the indoor coil to freeze in the summer,
resulting in an increase in the number of service calls.
Before using any lter with this system, check the
specications provided by the lter manufacturer against
the data given in the appropriate Lennox Product
Specications bulletin. Additional information is provided
in Service and Application Note ACC002 (August 2000).

NOTE - Do not operate the furnace in the heating mode
with an external static pressure that exceeds 0.8 inche
w.c. Higher external static pressures may cause erratic
limit operation.
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a removable access panel must be installed in the supply air duct.
The access panel should be large enough to permit in-
spection (either by smoke or reected light) of the heat
exchanger for leaks after the furnace is installed. The
furnace access panel must always be in place when the
furnace is operating and it must not allow leaks into the
supply air duct system.
Return Air Plenum
NOTE - Return air must not be drawn from a room
where this furnace, or any other gas-fueled appliance
(i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide- producing
device (i.e., wood replace) is installed.
When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pressure
is created in the room. If a gas appliance is operating in
a room with negative pressure, the ue products can be
pulled back down the vent pipe and into the room. This
Filter Size
Page 12
reverse ow of the ue gas may result in incomplete combustion and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This
toxic gas might then be distributed throughout the house
by the furnace duct system.
In upow applications, the return air can be brought in
through the bottom or either side of the furnace. If a furnace with bottom return air is installed on a platform, make
an airtight seal between the bottom of the furnace and
the platform to ensure that the unit operates properly and
safely. Use berglass sealing strips, caulking, or equivalent sealing method between the plenum and the furnace
cabinet to ensure a tight seal. If a lter is installed, size the
return air duct to t the lter frame.

Venting Using a Masonry Chimney
The following additional requirements apply when a lined
masonry chimney is used to vent this furnace. Masonry
chimneys used to vent Category I central furnaces must
be either tile-lined or lined with a listed metal lining system or dedicated gas vent. Unlined masonry chimneys are
prohibited. See gures 24 and 25 for common venting.
A chimney with one or more sides exposed to the outside
of the structure is considered to be an exterior chimney.
An exterior masonry chimney that is not tile-lined must be
lined with B1 vent or a listed insulated exible metal vent.
An exterior tile-lined chimney that is sealed and capped
may be lined with a listed uninsulated exible metal vent.
If the existing chimney will not accommodate a listed metal liner, either the chimney must be rebuilt to accommodate one of these liners or an alternate approved venting
method must be found.
Insulation for the exible vent pipe must be an encapsulated berglass sleeve recommended by the exible vent
pipe manufacturer. See gure 24.
WARNING
Asphyxiation hazard. The exhaust vent for this furnace
must be securely connected to the furnace ue
transition at all times.

SINGLE appliance venting of a fan-assisted furnace into
a tile-lined masonry chimney (interior or outside wall)
is PROHIBITED. The chimney must rst be lined with
either type B1 vent or an insulated single wall exible
vent lining system which has been sized according to the
provided venting tables and the vent pipe manufacturer’s
instructions.
A fan-assisted furnace may be commonly vented into an
existing lined masonry chimney if the following conditions
are met:
• The chimney is currently serving at least one drafthood equipped appliance
• The vent connectors and chimney are sized according to the provided venting tables.
If type B1 double-wall vent is used inside a chimney, no
other appliance can be vented into the chimney. The out-
er wall of type B1 vent pipe must not be exposed to ue
products.
FIGURE 25
Page 16
A type B1 vent or masonry chimney liner shall terminate
above the roof surface with a listed cap or a listed roof assembly according to the terms of their respective listings
and the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
When inspection reveals that an existing chimney is not
safe for the intended purpose, it shall be rebuilt to conform
to nationally recognized standards, lined or relined with
suitable materials, or replaced with a gas vent or chimney
suitable for venting SL280UHV series units. The chimney
passageway must be checked periodically to ensure that
it is clear and free of obstructions.
Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator,
or ue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney.
Never connect a Category I appliance to a chimney that is
servicing a solid-fuel appliance. If a replace chimney ue
is used to vent this appliance, the replace opening must
be permanently sealed.
A type B or listed chimney lining system that passes
through an unused masonry chimney ue is not considered to be exposed to the outdoors.
General Venting Requirements
Vent all SL280UHV furnaces according to these instructions:
1 - Vent diameter recommendations and maximum
allowable piping runs are found in the provided
venting tables
2 - In no case should the vent or vent connector
diameter be less than the diameter specied in the
provided venting tables.
3 - The minimum vent capacity determined by the
sizing tables must be less than the low re input
rating and the maximum vent capacity must be
greater than the high re input rating.
4 - Single appliance vents - If the vertical vent or tile-
lined chimney has a larger diameter or ow area than
the vent connector, use the vertical vent diameter to
determine the minimum vent capacity and the vent
connector diameter to determine the maximum vent
capacity. The ow area of the vertical vent, however,
shall not exceed 7 times the ow area of the listed
appliance categorized vent area, drafthood outlet
area or ue collar area unless designed according
to approved engineering methods.
5 - Multiple appliance vents - The ow area of the
largest section of vertical vent or chimney shall
not exceed 7 times the smallest listed appliance
categorized vent area, drafthood outlet area or ue
collar area unless designed according to approved
engineering methods.
6 - The entire length of single wall metal vent connector
shall be readily accessible for inspection, cleaning,
and replacement.
7 - Single appliance venting congurations with zero
lateral lengths (table 3) are assumed to have
no elbows in the vent system. For all other vent
congurations, the vent system is assumed to have
two 90° elbows. For each additional 90° elbow or
equivalent (for example two 45° elbows equal one
90° elbow) beyond two, the maximum capacity
listed in the venting table should be reduced by
10% (0.90 x maximum listed capacity).
8 - The common venting tables (4 and 5) were
generated using a maximum horizontal vent
connector length of 1-1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch
(25 mm) of connector diameter as follows:

9 - If the common vertical vent is offset, the maximum
common vent capacity listed in the common venting
tables should be reduced by 20%, the equivalent
of two 90° elbows (0.80 x maximum common vent
capacity). The horizontal length of the offset shall
not exceed 1-1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm)
of common vent diameter.
10 - The vent pipe should be as short as possible with
the least number of elbows and angles required to
complete the job. Route the vent connector to the
vent using the shortest possible route.
11 - A vent connector shall be supported without any
dips or sags and shall slope a minimum of 1/4 inch
(6.4 mm) per linear foot (305 mm) of connector,
back toward the appliance.
12 - Vent connectors shall be rmly attached to the
furnace ue collar by self-drilling screws or other
approved means, except vent connectors of listed
type B vent material which shall be assembled
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Joints
between sections of single wall connector piping
shall be fastened by screws or other approved
means.
13 - When the vent connector used for Category I
appliances must be located in or pass through
a crawlspace, attic or other areas which may
be cold, that portion of the vent connector shall
be constructed of listed double-wall type B vent
material or material having equivalent insulation
qualities.
Page 17
14 - All venting pipe passing through oors, walls, and
ceilings must be installed with the listed clearance
to combustible materials and be re stopped
according to local codes. In absence of local codes,
refer to NFGC (Z223.1).
15 - No portion of the venting system can extend into,
or pass through any circulation air duct or plenum.
16 - Vent connectors serving Category I appliances shall
not be connected to any portion of mechanical draft
systems operating under positive pressure such as
Category III or IV venting systems
17 - If vent connectors are combined prior to entering the
common vent, the maximum common vent capacity
listed in the common venting tables must be reduced
by 10%, the equivalent of one 90° elbow (0.90 x
maximum common vent capacity).
18 - The common vent diameter must always be at least
as large as the largest vent connector diameter.
19 - In no case, shall the vent connector be sized more
than two consecutive table size diameters over the
size of the draft hood outlet or ue collar outlet.
20 - Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft
regulator or ue restrictor between the furnace and
the chimney.
21 - When connecting this appliance to an existing
dedicated or common venting system, you must
inspect the venting system’s general condition and
look for signs of corrosion. The existing vent pipe size
must conform to these instructions and the provided
venting tables. If the existing venting system does not
meet these requirements, it must be resized.

Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system commonly run with separate gas appliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to properly
vent the remaining attached appliances. Conduct the following test while each appliance is operating and the other appliances (which are not operating) remain connected
to the common venting system. If the venting system has
been installed improperly, you must correct the system as
indicated in the general venting requirements section.
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each
appliance connected to the venting system being placed
into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning
or death. The following steps shall be followed for each
appliance connected to the venting system being placed
into operation, while all other appliances connected to
the venting system are not in operation:
1 - Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
2 - Inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch. Determine that there is no blockage,
restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other deciencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3 - Close all building doors and windows and all
doors between the space in which the appliances
remaining connected to the common venting system
are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on
clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to
the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust
fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts,
so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not
operate a summer exhaust fan. Close replace
dampers.
4 - Follow the lighting instructions. Turn on the appliance
that is being inspected. Adjust the thermostat so
that the appliance operates continuously.
5 - After the main burner has operated for 5 minutes,
test for leaks of ue gases at the draft hood relief
opening. Use the ame of a match or candle, or
smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
6 - After determining that each appliance connected
to the common venting system is venting properly,
(step 3) return all doors, widows, exhaust fans,
replace dampers, and any other gas-burning
appliances to their previous mode of operation.
7 - If a venting problem is found during any of the
preceding tests, the common venting system must
be modied to correct the problem.
Resize the common venting system to the minimum vent
pipe size determined by using the appropriate tables in
Appendix G. (These are in the current standards of the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

Gas Piping
CAUTION
If a exible 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. The exible connector can then
be added between the black iron pipe and the gas
supply line.
Gas Supply
WARNING
Do not over torque (800 in-lbs) or under torque (350
in-lbs) when attaching the gas piping to the gas
valve.
1 - This unit is shipped standard for left or right side
installation of gas piping (or top entry in horizontal
applications). Connect the gas supply piping into the
gas valve. The maximum torque is 800 in lbs and
minimum torque is 350 in lbs when when attaching
the gas piping to the gas valve.
2 - When connecting the gas supply piping, consider
factors such as length of run, number of ttings, and
furnace rating to avoid excessive pressure drop.
Table 6 lists recommended pipe sizes for typical
applications.
3 - The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts,
clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb
waiters, or elevator shafts.
4 - The piping should be sloped 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) per
15 feet (4.57 m) upward toward the meter from the
furnace. The piping must be supported at proper
intervals [every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.01 m)] with
suitable hangers or straps. Install a drip leg in
vertical pipe runs to the unit.
5 - A 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located
on the gas valve to facilitate test gauge connection.
See gures 34 and 35.
6 - In some localities, codes may require the installation
of a manual main shut-off valve and union (furnished
by the installer) external to the unit. The union must
be of the ground joint type.
IMPORTANT
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must
be resistant to the actions of liquied petroleum gases.

Thermostat Selection
CAUTION
Field wiring for both communicating and noncommunicating applications is illustrated in diagrams,
which begin on Page 25..
Non-Communicating
In non-communicating applications the SL280UHV
is designed to operate in a SINGLE-STAGE mode or
TWOSTAGE mode using a conventional thermostat.
For optimal performance in non-communicating applications, Lennox recommends use of a ComfortSense® 7000
high quality electronic digital thermostat or any other with
adjustable settings for 1st stage / 2nd stage on / off differ-
entials and adjustable stage timers.
Lennox recommends the following two-stage thermostat
settings:
First heat stage differential set to 1/2 to 1 degree F; sec-
ond heat stage differential set to 1/2 or 1 degree F; second
heat stage upstage timer disabled, or set to maximum (1
hr minimum).
Communicating
In communicating applications the icomfort Wi-Fi® thermostat must be used. Refer to the instructions provided
with the thermostat for installation, set-up and operation.
In communicating system all unused thermostat wire in
the wire bundle needs to be terminated inside and out.
The extra wires can terminate on the ‘C” terminal of the
icomfort communication terminal strip. (RSBus). Using an
additiona wire come off ”C” terminal and wire nut all the
extra wires together. Termination on the outdoor control
must match the indoor control.
Indoor Blower Speeds
Non-Communicating
1 - When the thermostat is set to “FAN ON,” the indoor
blower will run continuously at a eld selectable
percentage of the second-stage cooling speed
when there is no cooling or heating demand. The
factory defaul setting is 38% of cool speed.
2 - When the SL280UHV is running in the heating
mode, the indoor blower will run on the heating
speed designated by the positions of DIP switches
11, 12 and 13. First stage heating will run at 91%
heat speed.
3 - When there is a cooling demand, the indoor blower
will run on the cooling speed designated by the
positions of DIP switches 5 and 6. First stage
cooling will run at 70% cool speed.
Communicating
NOTE - When the SL280UHV is used with icomfort Wi-
Fi® thermostat, proper indoor blower speed selections
are made by the communicating thermostat.
1 - When the thermostat is set to “FAN ON,” the indoor
blower will run at setting determined during system
conguration.
2 - When there is a heating demand the fan will run on
heating speeds for ring rate.
3 - When there is a cooling demand, the fan will run on
the rst stage and second stage cooling speed set
using the icomfort Wi-Fi® thermostat in the installer
setup mode. The factory default is based upon 400
CFM a ton.
Generator Use - Voltage Requirements
The following requirements must be kept in mind when
specifying a generator for use with this equipment:
• The furnace requires 120 volts (Range: 102 volts to 132
volts)
• The furnace operates at 60 Hz + 5% (Range: 57 Hz to
63 Hz)
• The furnace integrated control requires both correct
polarity and proper ground. Both polarity and proper grounding should be checked before attempting to
operate the furnace on either permanent or temporary
power
• Generator should have a wave form distortion of less
than 5% THD (total harmonic distortion)

Communicating systems using the iComfort®thermostat require four thermostat wires
between the thermostat and the furnace/air handler control and four wires between the
outdoor unit and the furnace/air handler control. When a thermostat cable with more
than four wires is used, the extra wires must be properly connected to avoid electrical
noise. The wires must not be left disconnected.
Use wire nuts to bundle the four unused wires at each end of the cable. A single wire
should then be connected to the indoor unit end of the wire bundle and attached to the
“C” terminals as shown below.

Integrated Control DIP Switch Settings Conventional Thermostat (non-communicating)
SL280UHV units are equipped with a two-stage, variable
speed integrated control. This control manages ignition
timing, heating mode fan off delays and indoor blower
speeds based on selections made using the control dip
switches and jumpers. The control includes an internal
watchguard feature which automatically resets the ignition
control when it has been locked out. After one hour of continuous thermostat demand for heat, the watchguard will
break and remake thermostat demand to the furnace and
automatically reset the control to relight the furnace.
Note: All icomfort settings are set at the icomfort Touch®
thermostat. See icomfort installation instruction. In icomfort communication system all DIP switch and clippable
link settings are ignored. For conventional thermostats
proceed 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 controlled
by a two-stage heating thermostat (factory setting);
• Select “ON” for two-stage heating operation controlled
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 SingleStage 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 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 de-
mand has been satised) 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 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 9 provides the blower off timings that
will result from different switch settings.

On-Board Links
Note: In icomfort systems with a conventional outdoor unit
(non-communicating), the on-board clippable links must
be set to properly congure the system.
WARNING
Carefully review all conguration information provided.
Failure to properly set DIP switches, jumpers and onboard links can result in improper operation!
On-Board Link W914 Dehum or Harmony (R to DS)
On-board link W914, is a clippable connection between
terminals 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
Harmony III control will be blocked and also lead to control
damage. Refer to table 15 for operation sequence in applications including SL280UHV, a thermostat which features
humidity control and a single-speed outdoor unit. Table 16
gives the operation sequence in applications with a twospeed outdoor unit.
On-Board Link W951 Heat Pump (R to O)
On-board link W951 is a clippable connection between
terminals 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.

Other Unit Adjustments
Primary and Secondary Limits
The primary limit is located on the heating compartment
vestibule panel. The secondary limits (if equipped) are located in the blower compartment, attached to the back
side of the blower. These auto reset limits are factory set
and require no adjustment.
Flame Rollout Switches (Two)
These manually reset switches are located on the inside
of the the burner box. If tripped, check for adequate combustion air before resetting.
Pressure Switches
The pressure switch assembly (includes two switches) is
located in the heating compartment adjacent to the combustion air inducer. These switches check for proper combustion air inducer operation before allowing ignition trial.
The switches are factory-set and require no adjustment.
Temperature Rise
Place the unit into operation with a second-stage heating
demand. After supply and return air temperatures have
stabilized, check the temperature rise. If necessary, adjust
the heating blower speed to maintain the temperature rise
within the range shown on the unit nameplate. Increase
the blower speed to decrease the temperature rise. Decrease the blower speed to increase the temperature rise.
Failure to properly adjust the temperature rise may cause
erratic limit operation.
Thermostat Heat Anticipation
Set the heat anticipator setting (if adjustable) according to
the amp draw listed on the wiring diagram that is attached
to the unit.
NOTE - Do not secure the electrical conduit directly to the
air ducts or structure.
Heating Sequence of Operation
Electronic Ignition
The two-stage, variable speed integrated control used
in SL280UHV units has an added feature of an internal
Watchguard control. The feature serves as an automatic
reset device for ignition control lockout caused by ignition
failure. After one hour of continuous thermostat demand
for heat, the Watchguard will break and remake thermostat demand to the furnace and automatically reset the
control to begin the ignition sequence.
NOTE - The ignition control thermostat selection DIP
switch is factory-set in the “TWO-STAGE” position.
Applications Using a Two-Stage Thermostat
See gure 36 for ignition control sequence
A - Heating Sequence Integrated Control Thermostat
Selection DIP Switch 1 OFF in “Two-Stage”Position
(Factory Setting)
1 - On a call for heat, thermostat rst-stage contacts
close sending a signal to the integrated control. The
integrated control runs a self-diagnostic program
and checks high temperature limit switches for
normally closed contacts and pressure switches for
normally open contacts. The combustion air inducer
is energized at low speed.
2 - Once the control receives a signal that the low
pressure switch has closed, the combustion air
inducer begins a 15-second pre-purge in low speed.
NOTE - If the low re pressure switch does not close
the combustion air inducer will switch to high re.
After a 15 second pre-purge the high re pressure
switch will close and the unit will begin operation on
high re. After 10 to 20 seconds of high re operation
the unit will switch to low re.
3 - After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial
ignitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air
inducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended,
the gas valve is energized on low re (rst stage)
and ignition occurs. At the same time, the control
module sends a signal to begin an indoor blower
30-second ON-delay. When the delay ends, the
indoor blower motor is energized on the low re
heating speed, the HUM contacts close energizing
the humidier and 120V ACC terminal is energized.
The furnace will continue this operation as long as
the thermostat has a rst-stage heating demand.
5 - If second-stage heat is required, the thermostat
second- stage heat contacts close and send a signal
to the integrated control. The integrated control
initiates a 30-second second-stage recognition delay.
6 - At the end of the recognition delay, the integrated
control energizes the combustion air inducer at
high speed. The control also checks the high re
(second stage) pressure switch to make sure it is
closed. The high re (second stage) gas valve is
energized and the indoor blower motor is energized
for operation at the high re heating speed.
7 - When the demand for high re (second stage) heat
is satised, the combustion air inducer is switched to
the low-re heating speed and the high-re (second
stage) gas valve is de-energized. The low-re (rst
stage) gas valve continues operation. The indoor
blower motor is switched to the low-re heating speed.
8 - When the thermostat demand for low-re (rst
stage) heat is satised, the gas valve is deenergized and the eld-selected indoor blower off
delay begins. The combustion air inducer begins a
5-second post-purge period.
9 - When the combustion air post-purge period is
complete, the inducer, the HUM contacts as well as
the 120V ACC terminals are de-energized. The indoor
blower is de-energized at the end of the off delay.

Selection DIP Switch 1 ON in “Single-Stage” Position
NOTE - In these applications, two-stage heat will be initiated by the integrated control if heating demand has not been
satised after the eld adjustable period (7 or 12 minutes).
1 - On a call for heat, thermostat rst-stage contacts
close sending a signal to the integrated control. The
integrated control runs a self-diagnostic program
and checks high temperature limit switches for
normally closed contacts and pressure switches for
normally open contacts. The combustion air inducer is
energized at low speed.
2 - Once the control receives a signal that the low pressure
switch has closed, the combustion air inducer begins
a 15-second pre-purge in low speed
NOTE - If the low re pressure switch does not close
the combustion air inducer will switch to high re.
After a 15 second pre-purge the high re pressure
switch will close and the unit will begin operation on
high re. After 10 to 20 seconds of high re operation
the unit will switch to low re.
3 - After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial
ignitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air
inducer continues to operate at low speed
4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the
gas valve is energized on low re (rst stage) and
ignition occurs. At the same time, the control module
sends a signal to begin an indoor blower 30-second
ON-delay. When the delay ends, the indoor blower
motor is energized on the low re heating speed
and the HUM contacts are energized. The integrated
control also initiates a second-stage on delay (factoryset at 7 minutes; adjustable to 12 minutes).
5 - If the heating demand continues beyond the
secondstage on delay, the integrated control
energizes the combustion air inducer at high speed.
The control also checks the high re (second stage)
pressure switch to make sure it is closed. The high re
(second stage) gas valve is energized and the indoor
blower motor is energized for operation at the high re
heating speed.
6 - When the thermostat heating demand is satised, the
combustion air inducer begins a 5-second low speed
post-purge. The eld-selected indoor blower off delay
begins. The indoor blower operates at the low-re
heating speed.
7 - When the combustion air post-purge period is
complete, the inducer, the HUM contacts as well as
the 120V ACC terminals are de-energized. The indoor
blower is de-energized at the end of the off delay.

Perform a general system test. Turn on the furnace to
check operating functions such as the start-up and shutoff operation.
1 - Check the operation of the ignition system, inspect
and clean ame sensor. Check microamps before
and after. Check controls and safety devices (gas
valve, ame sensor, temperature limits). Consult
Service Manual for proper operating range. Thermal
Limits should be checked by restricting airow and
not disconnecting the indoor blower. For additional
details, please see Service and Application Note
H049.
2 - Verify that system total static pressure and airow
settings are within specic operating parameters.
3 - Clock gas meter to ensure that the unit is operating
at the specied ring rate. Check the supply
pressure and the manifold pressure. On two-stage
gas furnaces check the manifold pressure on high
re and low re. If manifold pressure adjustment is
necessary, consult the Service Literature for unit
specic information on adjusting gas pressure.
Not all gas valves are adjustable. Verify correct

The seven-segment diagnostic LED displays operating
status, target airow, error codes and other information.
The table beginning on the next page lists diagnostic LED
codes.
Diagnostic Push Button (Figure 33)
The diagnostic push button is located adjacent to the seven-segment diagnostic LED. This button is used to enable
the Error Code Recall “E” mode and the Flame Signal
“F” mode. Press the button and hold it to cycle through a
menu of options. Every ve seconds a new menu item will
be displayed. When the button is released, the displayed
item will be selected. Once all items in the menu have
been displayed, the menu resumes from the beginning
until the button is released.
Error Code Recall Mode
Select ”E” from the menu to access the most recent 10
error codes. Select “c” from the Error Code Recall menu
to clear all error codes. Button must be pressed a second
time while “c” is ashing to conrm command to delete
codes Press the button until a solid “≡” is displayed to exit
the Error Code Recall mode.
Flame Signal Mode
Select ”F” from the menu to access the ame signal mode.

After the “P” is selected (by releasing the push button)
the integrated control will start ashing the “P” on display
for 90 seconds. If push button is pressed again and held
during that time, the control will start to display characters
corresponding to different variable speed furnace models
for 3 seconds each. While the wanted character-model is
displayed push button has to be released. Selected option
will ash display for 10 seconds and during that time push
button has to be pressed and held for 5 seconds. Once
control accepts new setting it will store data in non-volatile
memory and reset itself. If 10 seconds expires or push
button is held less than 5 seconds, control will exit eld
test mode and go into idle without changing programming
the unit size.
Soft Disable
Soft disabling is when thermostat nds a device on the
BUS that it does not recognize and the thermostat sends
a the device a message to be in soft disabling mode until
properly congured. Two horizontal bars will display.
Steps to follow if the damper control module is displaying
the soft disable code.
1 - Conrm proper wiring between all devices
(thermostat, damper control module, indoor and
outdoor).
2 - Cycle power to the control that is displaying the soft
disable code.
3 - Put the room thermostat through set up.
4 - Go to setup / system devices / thermostat / edit /
then push reset.
