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 sec
ondary.
2. Door Interlock Switch (S51)
An interlock switch rated 14A at 125VAC is wired in series
with line voltage. When the indoor blower access panel is
removed the unit will shut down.

Units are equipped with the icomfort enabled Sur
®
eLight
control is used with the icomfort Wi-Fi
of a communicating comfort system. The control can also
operate with a non-communicating conventional single or
two-stage thermostat. The system consists of a ignition /
blower control (figures 4 and 5) with control pin designa
tions in tables 1, 2 and 3 and ignitor (figure 13). The control
and ignitor work in combination to ensure furnace ignition
and ignitor durability. The control provides gas ignition,
safety checks and indoor blower control with two-stage gas
heating. The furnace combustion air inducer, gas valve and
indoor blower are controlled in response to various system
inputs such as thermostat signal, pressure and limit switch
signal and flame signal. The control features a seven-seg
ment LED display, indicating furnace status (including in
door blower) and error codes. The LED flashes in single
digits. For example using table 5 under LIMIT CODE, an
“E” followed by “2” followed by “5” followed by “0”, the limit
switch circuit is open. The control also has two unpowered
(dry) 1/4” contacts for a humidifier and a 120 volt accessory
terminal. Both rated at (1) one amp each.

3. Circuit Breaker (CB8)
A 24V circuit breaker is also located in the control box.
The switch provides overcurrent protection to the trans
former (T1). The breaker is rated 3A at 32V. If the current
exceeds this limit the breaker will trip and all unit opera
tion will shutdown. The breaker can be manually reset
by pressing the button on the face. See figure 3.
Electronic Ignition
At the beginning of the heat cycle the integrated control
monitors the first stage and second stage combustion air
inducer prove switch. The control will not begin the heating
cycle if the first stage prove switch is closed (by-passed).
Likewise the integrated control will not begin the second
stage heating cycle if the second stage prove switch is
closed, and will remain in first stage heat. However, if the
second stage prove switch closes during the first stage
heat pre-purge, the control will allow second stage heat.
Once the first stage prove switch is determined to be open,
Page 4
Page 5
the combustion air inducer is energized on low (first stage)
heat speed. When the differential in the prove switch is
great enough, the prove switch closes and a 15-second
pre-purge begins.
NOTE - During abnormal conditions such as low supply
voltage or low outdoor temperatures and the low fire pres
sure 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
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 sec
onds. After a total of five trials for ignition (including the ini
tial trial), the control goes into Watchguard-Flame Failure
mode. After a 60-minute reset period, the control will begin
the ignition sequence again.
Two Stage Operation / Thermostat Selection DIP
Switch
The control can be utilized in two modes: SINGLE-STAGE
thermostat or TWO-STAGE thermostat. The thermostat
selection is made using a DIP switch and must be posi
tioned for the particular application. DIP switch 1, labeled
T”STAT HEAT STAGE is factory-set in the OFF position for
use with a two-stage thermostat. Move the DIP switch to
ON for use with a single stage thermostat.
While in the single-stage thermostat mode (single 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
factory default 10 minute recognition period, the unit will
switch to second stage heat. While in the two-stage ther
mostat mode (two 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
NOTE - All icomfortt settings are set at the icomfort Wi-Fi
thermostat. See icomfortt installation instruction. In icom
fortt communication system all DIP switch and clippable
link settings are ignored. For conventional thermostats pro
ceed 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.
a - Select “OFF” for two-stage heating operation con
trolled by a two-stage heating thermostat (factory set
ting);
b - Select “ON” for two-stage heating operation con
trolled by a single-stage heating thermostat. This set
ting 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 ther
mostat 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 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 blower-off delay of 90 seconds. The blower
off delay affects comfort and is adjustable to satisfy individ
®
ual 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 set
tings provide higher supply air temperatures.Table 6 pro
vides the blower off timings that will result from different
switch settings.

A solid‐state controller is permanently attached to the
motor. The controller is primarily an A.C. to D.C. con
verter. Converted D.C. power is used to drive the motor.
The controller contains a microprocessor which moni

FIGURE 6
WARNING
During blower operation, the ECM motor emits ener
gy that may interfere with pacemaker operation. In
terference is reduced by both the sheet metal cabinet
and distance.
The motor communicates with the integrated control via a
2-way serial connection. The motor receives all necessary
functional parameters from the integrated control and does
not rely on a factory program like traditional variable speed
motors. SL280DFV units use a three‐phase, electronically
controlled D.C. brushless motor (controller converts single
phase a.c. to three phase D.C.), with a permanent‐magnet‐
type rotor (figure 7). Because this motor has a permanent
magnet rotor it does not need brushes like conventional D.C.
motors.
The stator windings are split into three poles which are electri
cally connected to the controller. This arrangement a l l o w s
motor windings to turn on and off in sequence by the con
troller.
IMPORTANT
Earlier ECM motors used on other Lennox furnace
models are not interchangeable with motors used on
the SL280DF furnace line.
ROTOR
FIGURE 7
The controller uses sensing devices to sense what position
the rotor is in at any given time. By sensing the position of the
rotor and then switching the motor windings on and off in se
quence, the rotor shaft turns the blower.
All SL280DFV blower motors use single phase power.
An external run capacitor is not used. The motor uses
permanently lubricated ball‐type bearings.
Internal Operation
The motor is controlled via serial communication between
the integrated control on the furnace and the controller at
tached to the motor shell. The messages sent back and
forth between the two controls serve to communicate rota
tional direction, demand, motor size, current draw, torque,
and rpm, among other variables.
Motor rpm is continually adjusted internally to maintain
constant static pressure against the blower wheel. The control
ler monitors the static work load on the motor and motor amp‐
draw to determine the amount of rpm adjustment. Blower rpm
may be adjusted any amount in order to maintain a constant
cfm as shown in Blower Ratings Tables. The cfm remains rel
atively stable over a broad range of static pressure. Since the
blower constantly adjusts rpm to maintain a specified cfm, mo
tor rpm is not rated. Hence, the terms “cool speed”, “heat
speed ” or “speed tap” in this manual, on the unit wiring dia
gram and on blower B3, refer to blower cfm regardless of mo
tor rpm.
Initial Power Up
When line voltage is applied to B3, there will be a large inrush
of power lasting less than 1/4 second. This inrush charges a
bank of DC filter capacitors inside the controller. If the discon
nect switch is bounced when the disconnect is closed, the dis
connect contacts may become welded. Try not to bounce the
disconnect switch when applying power to the unit.
Page 22
Page 23
Motor Start‐Up
When B3 begins start‐up, the motor gently vibrates back and
forth for a moment. This is normal. During this time the elec
tronic controller is determining the exact position of the rotor.
Once the motor begins turning, the controller slowly eases
the motor up to speed (this is called “soft‐start”). The motor
may take as long as 10‐15 seconds to reach full speed. If the
motor does not reach 200 rpm within 13 seconds, the motor
shuts down. Then the motor will immediately attempt a re
start. The shutdown feature provides protection in case of a
frozen bearing or blocked blower wheel. The motor may at
tempt to start eight times. If the motor does not start after the
eighth try, the controller locks out. Reset controller by momen
tarily turning off power to unit.
The DC filter capacitors inside the controller are connected
electrically to the motor supply wires. The capacitors take
approximately 5 minutes to discharge when the disconnect
is opened. For this reason it is necessary to wait at least 5
minutes after turning off power to the unit before attempt
ing to service motor.
DANGER
Disconnect power from unit and
wait at least five minutes to allow
capacitors to discharge before at
tempting to service motor. Failure
to wait may cause personal injury
or death.
Troubleshooting Motor Operation
To verify motor operation see steps below:
1- Remove J48 (5 pin power plug) from P48 on the mo
tor.
2- With the power on at the furnace and door switch de
pressed, use a test meter to verify 120V between pins
4 and 5 on J48.
3- Reconnect J48 to P48 on the motor.
4- Remove J49 (4 pin low voltage connector) from P49
on the motor.
5- Using test jumpers, apply 24V to pins 3 and 4 on P49
on the motor.
Note: Do not apply 24V to pins 2 and 4 on P49. Doing so
will cause permanent damage to the motor.
6- Motor should run at 75%.
7- Test is complete. Remove jumpers and reconnect
plugs.
Another option is to use the TECMate PRO motor tester
with the 16 to 4 pin adaptor. The use of the TECMate PRO
isolates the motor from the integrated control. Follow the
instructions provided with the kit. If the motor runs do not
replace.
Power Choke (L13)
A choke coil is used on SL280DFV 4 and 5 ton units
equipped with 1 hp motors. The choke is located on the
blower housing and is used to suppress transient current
spikes.

C- Heating Components
1. Ignitor
The SureLight
®
ignitor is made of durable silicon nitride. Ig
nitor longevity is enhanced by controlling voltage to the ig
nitor. 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 13 for ignitor
location and figure 14 for ignitor check out.
NOTE - The SL280DFV(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 sup
port. See figure 13. The sensor is tip protrudes into the
flame envelope of the left-most burner. The sensor can be
removed for service without removing any part of the burn
ers. 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. To check flame sense signal use the
push-button found on the integrated control and go to Field
Test Mode. The menu will display the flame signal. See
table 15 for flame signal.
TABLE 15
Flame Signal in Microamps
Normal
LowDrop Out
2.6 or greater2.5 or less1.1
3. Gas Valve
The valve (figure 16 or 17) 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 gas control knob are located on the
valve. A wire harness connects the terminals from the gas
valve to the electronic ignition control. 24V applied to the termi
nals energizes the valve.
Inlet and outlet pressure taps are located on the valve. A regu
lator adjustment screw is located on the valve.
LPG change over kits are available from Lennox. Kits include
burner orifices and a gas valve.
4. Flame Rollout Switches (S47)
Flame rollout switch is a high temperature limit located on
top of the burner box, one on each side.- See figure 13. The
limit is a N.C. SPST manual‐reset limit connected in series
with the secondary limit S21. 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 switch is factory set to trip (open) at 210°F and cannot be
adjusted. The switch can be manually reset. To manually re
set a tripped switch, push the reset button located on the con
trol.
5. Burners
All units use inshot burners. Burners are factory set and re
quire no adjustment. Always operate the unit with the burner
box front panel in place. Each burner uses an orifice (see
table 20 for orifice size) that is precisely matched to the burn
er 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- MAINTE
NANCE sub-section E- Heat Exchanger and Burners.
6. Primary Limit Control (S10)
The primary limit (S10) is located in the heating vestibule pan
el. 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 auto
matically resets when unit temperature returns to normal. The
switch must reset within three minutes or the SureLight control
will go into Watch guard 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. Secondary Limit Controls (S21)
The secondary limit (S21) is located in the blower compart
ment. See figure 6. When excess heat is sensed in the blower
compartment, 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 re
turns to normal. The switch must reset within three minutes or
the SureLight control will go into Watch guard for one hour.
The switch is factory set and cannot be adjusted.

8. Combustion Air Inducer (B6)
All units use a two-stage combustion air inducer to move air
through the burners and heat exchanger during heating op
eration. The blower uses a 120VAC motor. The motor oper
ates during all heating operation and is controlled by fur
nace / blower control A92. The inducer also operates for 15
seconds before burner ignition (pre‐purge) and for 5 sec
onds 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.
sure) 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.
NOTE - The switch is factory set and is not field adjust
able. It is a safety shut‐down control in the furnace and
must not be by-passed for any reason. If switch is
closed or by-passed, the control will not initiate ignition
at start up.
NOTE - Each furnace model uses a unique CAI. Refer
to Lennox Repair Parts listing for correct inducer for re
placement.
A pressure switch connected to the combustion air inducer
orifice plate is used to prove inducer operation. The combus
tion air inducer orifice will be different for each model. See
table 16 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) the proving switch opens. When
the proving switch opens, the furnace control (A92) immedi
ately closes the gas valve to prevent burner operation.

9. Combustion Air Inducer
Pressure Switch (S18)
S18 is a dual combustion air pressure switch (first and sec
ond stage) located on the combustion air inducer orifice
bracket. The switch is connected to the combustion air in
ducer housing by means of a flexible silicone hose. It moni
tors negative air pressure in the combustion air inducer
housing.
The switches are a single‐pole single‐throw proving switch
electrically connected to the furnace 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 cir
cuit to the furnace control when pressure inside the com
bustion air inducer decreases to a certain set point.
Set points vary depending on unit size. See table 17. The
pressure sensed by the switch is negative relative to atmo
spheric pressure. If the flue becomes obstructed during op
eration, the switch senses a loss of negative pressure
(pressure becomes more equal with atmospheric pres

IV-HEATING SYSTEM SERVICE CHECKS
A-CSA Certification
All units are CSA design certified without modifications.
Refer to the SL280DFV 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. The flexible connector can then
be added between the black iron pipe and the gas
supply line.
WARNING
Do not over torque (800 in-lbs) or under torque (350
in-lbs) 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.
Compounds used on gas piping threaded joints should be
resistant to action of liquefied petroleum gases.
C-Testing Gas Piping
IMPORTANT
sion 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
White Rodgers Gas Valve
An inlet post located on the gas valve provides access to
the supply pressure. See figure 16. Back out the 3/32 hex
screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing and connect
to a manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 20
for supply line pressure.
Honeywell Gas Valve
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 20 for
supply line pressure. Replace the threaded plug after mea
surements have been taken.
E-Check Manifold Pressure
After line pressure has been checked and adjusted, check
manifold pressure. Move pressure gauge to outlet pres
sure tap located on unit gas valve (GV1). Checks of man
ifold pressure are made as verification of proper regulator ad
justment. Manifold pressure can be measured at any time the
gas valve is open and is supplying gas to the unit. See table
20 for normal operating manifold pressure.
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 dis
connected and isolated. Gas valves can be damaged if
subjected to more than 0.5 psig (14” W.C.). See figure 18. If
the pressure is equal to or less than 0.5psig (14”W.C.), use

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 adjust
ment. All gas valves are factory regulated.
Manifold Adjustment Procedure:
1 - Connect test gauge to manifold pressure post (figure
16) or tap (figure 17) 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
20.
4 - If necessary, make adjustments. Figures 16 and 17
show location 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 manifold pressure. If low fire manifold pressure is more
than 1/2” above or below value specified in table 20,
replace valve.
6 - Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an ac
curate reading has been obtained. Take care to re
place pressure tap plug.
7 - Start unit and perform leak check. Seal leaks if found.

F- Proper Gas Flow (Approximate)
Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before check
ing gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two revolu
tions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a
more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time
in table 18 below. If manifold pressure matches table 20
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.

V-TYPICAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
A-Blower Operation and Adjustment
When the thermostat is set to “FAN ON,” the indoor
blower will run continuously at approximately 38% of
the second-stage cooling speed when there is no cool
ing or heating demand.
When the SL280DFV is running on high fire or low fire
(low fire is 91% of high fire), the indoor blower will run
on the heating speed designated by the positions of
DIP switches 11 and 12.
When the SL280DFV is running on second-stage cool
or first-stage cool (second-stage cool is 70% of firststage cool), the indoor blower will run on the cooling
speed designated by the positions of DIP switches 5
and 6.
B-Temperature Rise
Temperature rise for SL280DFV units depend on unit in
put, 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 for high fire and low fire.
To Measure Temperature Rise:
1 - Place plenum thermometers in the supply and return
air plenums. Locate supply air thermometer in the first
horizontal run of the plenum where it will not pick up ra
diant heat from the heat exchanger.
2 - Set thermostat to highest setting. Confirm unit is on
high fire by checking rate.
3 - After plenum thermometers have reached their high
est and steadiest readings, subtract the two readings.
The difference should be in the range listed on the unit
rating plate. If the temperature is too low, decrease
blower speed.
4 - Repeat on low fire. Do not adjust low fire manifold pres
sure.
C-External Static Pressure
1 - Tap locations shown in figure 19.
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 perma
gum. Connect the zero end
of the manometer to the dis
charge (supply) side of the system. On ducted sys
tems, connect the other end of manometer to the return
duct as above. Open all return air registers and check
for clean filter.
3 - With only the blower motor running and the evaporator
coil dry, observe the manometer reading. Adjust blow
er motor speed to deliver the air desired according to
the job requirements. For heating speed external static
pressure drop must not be more than 0.8” W.C. For
cooling speed external static pressure drop must not
be more than 1.0” W.C.
4 - Seal the hole when the check is complete.

VI-MAINTENANCE
Annual Furnace Maintenance
At the beginning of each heating season, and to comply
with the Lennox Limited Warranty, your system should
be checked by a licensed professional technician (or equiv
alent) as follows:
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.
WARNING
Disconnect power before servicing unit.
CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan
gerous operation. Verify proper operation after ser
vicing.
WARNING
The inner blower access panel and vent pipe 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.
1- Check wiring for loose connections, voltage at indoor
unit and amperage of indoor motor
2- Check the condition of the belt and shaft bearings if ap
plicable.
3- Inspect all gas pipe and connections for leaks
4- Check the cleanliness of filters and change if necessary
(monthly).
.
.
IMPORTANT
If a highefficiency filter is being installed as part of
this system to ensure better indoor air quality, the fil
ter must be properly sized. Highefficiency filters
have a higher static pressure drop than standardef
ficiency glass/foam filters. If the pressure drop is too
great, system capacity and performance may be re
duced. 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 filter with this system, check the
specifications provided by the filter manufacturer
against the data given in the appropriate Lennox
Product Specifications bulletin. Additional informa
tion is provided in Service and Application Note
ACC002 (August 2000).
5- Check the condition and cleanliness of burners and
heat exchanger and clean if necessary.
Page 34
Page 35
6- Check the cleanliness of blower assembly and clean
the housing, blower wheel and blower motor if neces
sary
. The blower motors are prelubricated for extended
bearing life. No further lubrication is needed.
7- Inspect the combustion air inducer and clean if neces
sary.
8- Evaluate the heat exchanger integrity by inspecting the
heat exchanger per the AHRI heat exchanger inspec
tion procedure. This procedure can be viewed at
www.ahrinet.org
9- Ensure sufficient combustion air is available to the fur
nace. Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the
room where the furnace is installed) must be properly
sized, open and unobstructed to provide combustion
.
air
10 Inspect the furnace venting system to make sure it is in
place, structurally sound, and without holes, corrosion,
or blockage. Vent system must be free and clear of ob
structions and must slope upward away from the fur

nace
Fuel Gas Code
11 Inspect the furnace return air duct connection to ensure
the duct is sealed to the furnace. Check for air leaks on
supply and return ducts and seal where necessary
.
12 Check the condition of the furnace cabinet insulation
and repair if necessary.
13 Perform a complete combustion analysis during the fur
nace inspection to ensure proper combustion and oper
ation. Consult Service Literature for proper combustion
values.
14 Verify operation of CO detectors and replace batteries
as required.
Perform a general system test. Turn on the furnace to
check operating functions such as the start-up and shut-off
operation.
1 - Check the operation of the ignition system, inspect
and clean flame sensor. Check microamps before and
after. Check controls and safety devices (gas valve,
flame sensor, temperature limits). Consult Service
Manual for proper operating range. Thermal Limits
should be checked by restricting airflow and not dis
connecting the indoor blower. For additional details,
please see Service and Application Note H049.
2 - Verify that system total static pressure and airflow set
tings are within specific operating parameters.
3 - Clock gas meter to ensure that the unit is operating at
the specified firing rate. Check the supply pressure
and the manifold pressure. On two-stage gas furnaces
check the manifold pressure on high fire and low fire. If
manifold pressure adjustment is necessary, consult
the Service Literature for unit specific information on
adjusting gas pressure. Not all gas valves are ad
justable. Verify correct temperature rise.

Applications Using a Two-Stage Thermostat
A - Heating Sequence -- Integrated Control Thermostat
Selection DIP Switch 1 OFF in “Two-Stage” Position
(Factory Setting)
1. On a call for heat, thermostat first-stage contacts close
sending a signal to the integrated control. The inte
grated 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 ener
gized at low speed.
2. Once the control receives a signal that the low pres
sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer be
gins a 15-second pre-purge in low speed.
NOTE - If 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..
3. After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial ig
nitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air in
ducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the
gas valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and igni
tion 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 fire heating speed, the
HUM contacts close energizing the humidifier and
120V ACC terminal is energized. The furnace will con
tinue this operation as long as the thermostat has a
first-stage heating demand.
NOTE - If the indoor thermostat is set on CONTINU
OUS FAN ON mode, the furnace will light on high fire
(second-stage) for 60 seconds to improve heat ex
changer warm up. After 60 second warm-up period,
furnace will switch to low fire (first-stage).
5 - If second-stage heat is required, the thermostat sec
ond-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 con
trol energizes the combustion air inducer at high
speed. The control also checks the high fire (second
stage) pressure switch to make sure it is closed. The
high fire (second stage) gas valve is energized and the
indoor blower motor is energized for operation at the
high fire heating speed.
7 - When the demand for high fire (second stage) heat is
satisfied, the combustion air inducer is switched to the
low-fire heating speed and the high-fire (second
stage) gas valve is de-energized. The low-fire (first
stage) gas valve continues operation. The indoor
blower motor is switched to the low-fire heating speed.
8 - When the thermostat demand for low-fire (first stage)
heat is satisfied, the gas valve is de-energized and the
field-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 com
plete, 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.
Applications Using A Single-Stage Thermostat
B - Heating Sequence -- Integrated Control Thermostat
Selection DIP Switch 1 ON in “Single-Stage” Position
NOTE - In these applications, two-stage heat will be initi
ated by the integrated control if heating demand has not
been satisfied after the field adjustable period (7 or 12 min
utes).
1. On a call for heat, thermostat first-stage contacts close
sending a signal to the integrated control. The inte
grated 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 ener
gized at low speed.
2. Once the control receives a signal that the low pres
sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer be
gins a 15-second pre-purge in low speed.
NOTE - If 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.
3. After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial ig
nitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air in
ducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the
gas valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and igni
tion 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 fire heating speed and
the HUM contacts are energized. The integrated con
trol also initiates a second-stage on delay (factory-set
at 7 minutes; adjustable to 12 minutes).
5 - If the heating demand continues beyond the second-
stage on delay, the integrated control energizes the
combustion air inducer at high speed. The control also
checks the high fire (second stage) pressure switch to
make sure it is closed. The high fire (second stage)
gas valve is energized and the indoor blower motor is
energized for operation at the high fire heating speed.
6
- When the thermostat heating demand is satisfied, the
combustion air inducer begins a 5-second low speed
post-purge. The field-selected indoor blower off delay
begins. The indoor blower operates at the low-fire
heating speed.
7 - When the combustion air post-purge period is com
plete, 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.
