These instructions are intended as a general guide and do  
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities  
having jurisdiction before installation.  
Quincy, MA 02269  
NOTE − This furnace is designed for a minimum continu-  
ous return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermit-  
tent operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases  
where a night setback thermostat is used. Return air tem-  
perature must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.  
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the fol-  
lowing general recommendations must be considered  
when installing a SL280DFV furnace:  
D Place the furnace as close to the center of the air dis-  
tribution system as possible. The furnace should also be  
located close to the chimney or vent termination point.  
The SL280DFV furnace may be installed in alcoves, clos-  
ets, attics, basements, garages, and utility rooms in the  
downflow position.  
D Do not install the furnace where drafts might blow direct-  
ly into it. This could cause improper combustion and un-  
safe operation.  
This furnace design has not been CSA International certi-  
fied for installation in mobile homes, recreational vehicles,  
or outdoors.  
D Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with  
clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper  
combustion and safe unit operation.  
Use of Furnace as Construction Heater  
D When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insu-  
lated space, keep insulation away from the furnace.  
Lennox does not recommend the use of SL280DFV units  
as a construction heater during any phase of construction.  
Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and op-  
eration of the unit with clogged or misplaced filters will dam-  
age the unit.  
NOTE − The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipu-  
lates these additional requirements:  
D Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumb-  
er or fitter only.

D The gas cock must be ꢀT handle" type.  
CAUTION  
D When a furnace is installed in an attic, the passage-  
way to and service area surrounding the equipment  
shall be floored.  
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches,  
nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause  
excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rust-  
ing 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 combus-  
tion air supply:  
WARNING

All gas-fired appliances require air for the combustion pro-  
cess. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the fur-  
nace or other appliances will operate inefficiently and un-  
safely. 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 fireplaces, ex-  
haust 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. Insufficient air  
causes incomplete combustion which can result in carbon  
monoxide.  
Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air  
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient out-  
door air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air that  
was needed. In today’s homes, tight construction practices  
make it necessary to bring in air from outside for combus-  
tion. Take into account that exhaust fans, appliance vents,  
chimneys, and fireplaces 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 liv-  
ing space creating a potentially dangerous situation.  
In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air  
dilutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contami-  
nants may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, sol-  
vents and other contaminants which can corrode furnace  
components.  
The requirements for providing air for combustion and ven-  
tilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed in  
an unconfined or a confined space.  
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combus-  
tion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in  
this section to install SL280DFV furnaces to ensure effi-  
cient and safe operation. You must consider combustion air  
needs and requirements for exhaust vents. A portion of this  
information has been reprinted with permission from the  
National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1). This reprinted ma-  
terial is not the complete and official position of the ANSI on  
the referenced subject, which is represented only by the  
standard in its entirety.  
Unconfined Space  
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or  
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic  
3
feet (1.42 m ) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the com-  
bined 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 un-  
confined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for  
combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by  
infiltration. 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.  
CAUTION  
Do not install the furnace in a corrosive or contami-  
nated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventila-  
tion air requirements, as well as all local codes.

Confined Space  
Air from Inside  
If the confined space that houses the furnace adjoins a  
space categorized as unconfined, air can be brought in by  
providing two permanent openings between the two  
spaces. Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1  
A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cu-  
3
bic feet (1.42 m ) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the  
combined input rating of all appliances installed in that  
space. This definition includes furnace closets or small  
equipment rooms.  
2
square inch (645 mm ) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of  
total input rating of all gas−fired equipment in the confined  
space. Each opening must be at least 100 square inches  
When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air  
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space contain-  
ing 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  
confined 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 confined space either  
from inside the building or from outside.

mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12  
Air from Outside  
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventila-  
tion, the confined space must have two permanent open-  
ings. 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 di-  
rectly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or at-  
tic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly  
through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum

When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross−sec-  
tional 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 cov-  
ering is not known for calculating the size opening required,  
it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20 to 25 per-  
cent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60 to  
75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the  
open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they  
are opened automatically during equipment operation.

Refer to the tables and the venting information contained in  
these instructions to properly size and install the venting  
system.  
Duct System  
Use industry-approved standards (such as those pub-  
lished by Air Conditioning Contractors of America or Ameri-  
can Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning  
Engineers) to size and install the supply and return air duct  
system. This will result in a quiet and low-static system that  
has uniform air distribution.  
IMPORTANT  
Once the venting system is installed, attach the ꢀDis-  
connected Vent" warning sticker to a visible area of  
the plenum near the vent pipe. The warning sticker  
is provided in the bag assembly. Order kit 66W04 for  
additional stickers.  
NOTE − Do not operate the furnace in the heating mode  
with an external static pressure that exceeds 0.8 inches  
w.c. Higher external static pressures may cause erratic lim-  
it operation.  
Ensure that you have made a seal between the supply air  
plenum and the furnace and between the furnace and the  
return air plenum.  
WARNING  
Asphyxiation hazard. The exhaust vent for this fur-  
nace must be securely connected to the furnace flue  
transition at all times.  
Return Air Plenum  
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 fireplace) is installed. When return air is drawn  
from aroom, a negative pressure is created in the room. If  
a gas appliance is operating in a room with negative pres-  
sure, the flue products can be pulled back down the vent  
pipe and into the room. This reverse flow of the flue gas  
may result in incomplete combustion and the formation  
of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas might then be dis-  
tributed throughout the house by the furnace duct sys-  
tem.

Venting  
A 4−inch diameter flue transition is factory-installed on all  
models. Modifying or removing the flue transition will  
cause the unit to operate unsafely and will void the unit  
certification. The vent connector does not require insula-  
tion.  
FIGURE 14  
Use self−drilling sheet metal screws or a mechanical fas-  
tener to firmly secure the vent pipe to the round collar of the  
flue transition. If self−drilling screws are used to attach the  
vent pipe, it is recommended that three be used. Drive one  
self−drilling screw through the front and one through each  
side of the vent pipe and collar. See figure 14.  
The SL280DFV series units are classified as fan−assisted  
Category I furnaces when vertically vented according to  
the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 /  
ANSI Z223.1). A fan−assisted Category I furnace is an ap-  
pliance equipped with an integral mechanical means to ei-  
ther draw or force combustion products through the com-  
bustion chamber and/or heat exchanger.  
Masonry chimneys used to vent Category I central fur-  
naces must be either tile-lined or lined with a listed metal  
lining system or dedicated gas vent. Unlined masonry  
mon venting.  
NOTE − Use these instructions as a guide. They do not su-  
persede local codes. This furnace must be vented accord-  
ing to all local codes, these installation instructions, and the  
provided venting tables in these instructions  
The venting tables in this manual were extracted from the  
National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1) and are  
provided as a guide for proper vent installation. Proper ap-  
plication, termination, construction and location of vents  
must conform to local codes having jurisdiction. In the ab-  
sence of local codes, the NFGC serves as the defining doc-  
ument.

ular insulating material  
The following additional requirements apply when a lined  
masonry chimney is used to vent this furnace.  
A chimney with one or more sides exposed to the outside of  
the structure is considered to be an exterior chimney.  
IMPORTANT  
An exterior masonry chimney that is not tile−lined must be  
lined with B1 vent or a listed insulated flexible metal vent.  
An exterior tile−lined chimney that is sealed and capped  
may be lined with a listed uninsulated flexible metal vent.  
SINGLE appliance venting of a fan-assisted furnace  
into a tile-lined masonry chimney (interior or outside  
wall) is PROHIBITED. The chimney must first be lined  
with either type B1 vent or an insulated single wall  
flexible vent lining system which has been sized ac-  
cording to the provided venting tables and the vent  
pipe manufacturer’s instructions.  
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 meth-  
od must be found.  
A fan−assisted furnace may be commonly vented into an  
existing lined masonry chimney if the following conditions  
are met:  
Insulation for the flexible vent pipe must be an encapsu-  
lated fiberglass sleeve recommended by the flexible vent  
pipe manufacturer. See figure 16.

General Venting Requirements  
10−1/2 (3.20)  
Vent all SL280DFV furnaces according to these instruc-  
tions:  
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.  
1 − Vent diameter recommendations and maximum allow-  
able 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 specified in the provided  
venting tables.  
10 − The vent pipe should be as short as possible with the  
least number of elbows and angles required to com-  
plete the job. Route the vent connector to the vent us-  
ing the shortest possible route.  
3 − The minimum vent capacity determined by the sizing  
tables must be less than the low fire input rating and the  
maximum vent capacity must be greater than the high  
fire input rating.  
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.  
4 − Single appliance vents − If the vertical vent or tile-lined  
chimney has a larger diameter or flow area than the  
vent connector, use the vertical vent diameter to de-  
termine the minimum vent capacity and the vent  
connector diameter to determine the maximum vent  
capacity. The flow area of the vertical vent, however,  
shall not exceed 7 times the flow area of the listed ap-  
pliance categorized vent area, drafthood outlet area or  
flue collar area unless designed according to approved  
engineering methods.  
12 − Vent connectors shall be firmly attached to the furnace  
flue 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 ap-  
pliances must be located in or pass through a crawl-  
space 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.  
5 − Multiple appliance vents − The flow 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 flue collar area unless de-  
signed according to approved engineering methods.  
6 − The entire length of single wall metal vent connector  
shall be readily accessible for inspection, cleaning,  
and replacement.  
14 − All venting pipe passing through floors, walls, and ceil-  
ings must be installed with the listed clearance to com-  
bustible materials and be fire stopped according to lo-  
cal codes. In absence of local codes, refer to NFGC  
(Z223.1).  
7 − Single appliance venting configurations with zero lat-  
elbows in the vent system. For all other vent configura-  
tions, the vent system is assumed to have two 90° el-  
bows. 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 ca-  
pacity).  
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).  
8 − The common venting tables (7, 8, 9, and 10) were gen-  
erated using a maximum horizontal vent connector  
length of 1−1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm) of  
connector diameter as follows:  
Page 14  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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 flue collar outlet.  
21 − When connecting this appliance to an existing dedi-  
cated 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 re-  
quirements, it must be resized.  
20 − Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regu-  
lator or flue restrictor between the furnace and the  
chimney.

Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent  
7 − If a venting problem is found during any of the preced-  
ing tests, the common venting system must be modi-  
fied to correct the problem.  
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a  
venting system commonly run with separate gas ap-  
pliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to  
properly vent the remaining attached appliances.  
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 stan-  
dards of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.  
Conduct the following test while each appliance is operat-  
ing and the other appliances (which are not operating) re-  
main 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 re-  
quirements section.  
Gas Piping  
CAUTION  
WARNING  
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD  
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.  
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each  
appliance connected to the venting system being  
placed into operation could result in carbon mon-  
oxide poisoning or death.  
The following steps shall be followed for each ap-  
pliance connected to the venting system being  
placed into operation, while all other appliances  
connected to the venting system are not in  
operation:  
Gas Supply  
1 − This unit is shipped standard for left or right side instal-  
lation of gas piping. Connect the gas supply to the pip-  
ing assembly.  
1 − Seal any unused openings in the common venting sys-  
tem.  
2 − When connecting the gas supply piping, consider fac-  
tors such as length of run, number of fittings, and fur-  
nace rating to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table 11  
lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications.  
2 − Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal  
pitch. Determine that there is no blockage, restriction,  
leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could  
cause an unsafe condition.  
3 − The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts,  
clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb waiters,  
or elevator shafts.  
3 − Close all building doors and windows and all doors be-  
tween the space in which the appliances remaining  
connected to the common venting system are located  
and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dry-  
ers 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 oper-  
ate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer ex-  
haust fan. Close fireplace dampers.  
4 − The piping should be sloped 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) per 15  
feet (4.57 m) upward toward the meter from the fur-  
nace. The piping must be supported at proper intervals  
[every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.01 m)] with suitable hang-  
ers or straps. Install a drip leg inside 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.  
4 − Follow the lighting instructions. Turn on the appliance  
that is being inspected. Adjust the thermostat so that  
the appliance operates continuously.  
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.  
5 − After the main burner has operated for 5 minutes, test  
for leaks of flue gases at the draft hood relief opening.  
Use the flame 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, fireplace damp-  
ers, and any other gas−burning appliances to their pre-  
vious mode of operation.  
IMPORTANT  
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping  
must be resistant to the actions of liquified petro-  
leum gases.

hand side of the cabinet. The make−up box may be moved  
to the right side of the furnace to facilitate installation. If the  
make−up box is moved to the right hand side, clip the wire  
ties that bundle the wires together. Secure the excess wire  
to the existing harness to protect it from damage.

Non−Communicating  
2 − Holes are on both sides of the furnace cabinet to facili-  
tate wiring.  
In non−communicating applications the SL280DFV is de-  
signed to operate in a SINGLE−STAGE mode or TWO−  
STAGE mode using a conventional thermostat.  
3 − Install a separate (properly sized) disconnect switch  
near the furnace so that power can be turned off for  
servicing.  
For optimal performance in non−communicating applica-  
®
tions, Lennox recommends use of a ComfortSense 7000  
4 − Before connecting the thermostat or the power wiring,  
check to make sure the wires will be long enough for  
servicing at a later date. Remove the blower access  
panel to check the length of the wire.  
high quality electronic digital thermostat or any other with  
adjustable settings for 1st stage / 2nd stage on / off differen-  
tials and adjustable stage timers.  
Lennox recommends the following two−stage thermostat  
settings:  
First heat stage differential set to 1/2 to 1 degree F; second  
heat stage differential set to 1/2 or 1 degree F; second heat  
stage upstage timer disabled, or set to maximum (1 hr mini-  
mum).  
5 − Complete the wiring connections to the equipment.  
Use the provided unit wiring diagram and the field wir-  
ing diagrams shown in table 13 and figure 24. Use  
18−gauge wire or larger that is suitable for Class II ra-  
ting for thermostat connections.  
Communicating  
6 − Electrically ground the unit according to local codes or,  
in the absence of local codes, according to the current  
National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70). A green  
ground wire is provided in the field make−up box.  
NOTE − The SL280DFV furnace contains electronic  
components that are polarity sensitive. Make sure  
that the furnace is wired correctly and is properly  
grounded.  
®
In communicating applications the icomfort Touch ther-  
mostat 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 ex-  
tra wires can terminate on the ’C" terminal of the icomfort  
t
communication terminal strip. (RSBus). Using an addition-  
al wire come off "C" terminal and wire nut all the extra wires  
together. Termination on the outdoor control must match  
the indoor control.  
7 − One line voltage ꢁACC" 1/4" spade terminal is provided  
on the furnace integrated control. Any electronic air  
cleaner or other accessory rated up to one amp can be  
connected to this terminal with the neutral leg of the cir-  
cuit being connected to the one of the provided neutral  
terminals. See figure 25 for control configuration. This  
terminal is energized when the indoor blower is operat-  
ing.  
Indoor Blower Speeds  
Non−Communicating  
1 − When the thermostat is set to ꢁFAN ON," the indoor  
blower will run continuously at a field selectable per-  
centage of the second−stage cooling speed when there  
is no cooling or heating demand. The factory default  
setting is 38% of cool speed.  
8 − An unpowered, normally open (dry) set of contacts with  
a 1/4" spade terminal ꢁHUM" are provided for humidifi-  
er connections and may be connected to 24V or 120V.  
Any humidifier rated up to one amp can be connected  
to these terminals. In 120V humidifier applications the  
neutral leg of the circuit can be connected to one of the  
provided neutral terminals. This terminal is energized  
in the heating mode.  
2 − When the SL280DFV is running in the heating mode,  
the indoor blower will run on the heating speed desig-  
nated 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.  
9 − Install the room thermostat according to the instruc-  
tions provided with the thermostat. See table 13 for  
field wiring connections in varying applications. If the  
furnace is being matched with a heat pump, refer to the  
instruction packaged with the dual fuel thermostat.

CAUTION  
Field wiring for both communicating and non−com-  
municating applications is illustrated in diagrams,  
which begin on Page 23.  
2 − When there is a heating demand the fan will run on  
heating speeds for firing rate.  
3 − When there is a cooling demand, the fan will run on the  
first stage and second stage cooling speed set using  
the icomfort Touch® thermostat in the installer setup  
mode. The factory default is based upon 400 CFM a  
ton.

SL280DFV 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 con-  
tinuous thermostat demand for heat, the watchguard will  
break and remake thermostat demand to the furnace and  
automatically reset the control to relight the furnace.

down to 70% of the second−stage cfm for first−stage cfm.  
Refer to tables for corresponding cfm values.  
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 two−  
stage thermostat. If a single−stage thermostat is to be used,  
the DIP switch must be repositioned.

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 second−  
stage heat is initiated. If the switch is toggled to the ON  
position, it will provide a 12−minute delay before second−  
stage heat is initiated. This switch is only activated when  
the thermostat selector jumper is positioned for SINGLE−

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.  
On−Board Links  
Note: In icomfortt systems with a conventional outdoor  
unit (non−communicating), the on−board clippable links  
must be set to properly configure the system  
The seven−segment diagnostic LED displays operating  
status, target airflow, error codes and other information.  
The table beginning on Page 48 lists diagnostic LED  
codes.  
WARNING  
Carefully review all configuration information pro-  
vided. Failure to properly set DIP switches, jumpers  
and on−board links can result in improper operation!  
The diagnostic push button is located adjacent to the  
seven−segment diagnostic LED. This button is used to en-  
able 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 five 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.  
On−Board Link W914 Dehum or Harmony (R to DS)  
On−board link W914, is a clippable connection between ter-  
minals R and DS on the integrated control. W914 must be  
cut when the furnace is installed with either the Harmony  
IIIt zone control or a thermostat which features humidity  
control. If the link is left intact the PMW signal from the Har-  
mony III control will be blocked and also lead to control  
plications including SL280DFV, a thermostat which fea-  
tures humidity control and a single−speed outdoor unit.  
Table 21 gives the operation sequence in applications with  
a two−speed outdoor unit.  
Error Code Recall Mode

The integrated control will display the flame current on 7  
segment LED in in micro amps (uA).  
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 ener-

Failure To Operate  
If the unit fails to operate, check the following:  
1 − Is the thermostat calling for heat?  
Supply Line Pressure  
White Rodgers Gas Valve  
An inlet post located on the gas valve provides access to  
screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing and connect  
to a manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 24  
for supply line pressure.  
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?  
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 24 for  
supply line pressure. Replace the threaded plug after mea-  
surements have been taken.  
7 − Is the manual main shut-off valve open?  
8 − Is the internal manual shut-off valve open?  
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

NOTE − Pressure test adapter kit (10L34) is available from  
Lennox to facilitate manifold pressure measurement.  
11 Is the rollout switch tripped? If the switch is tripped call  
the service technician to inspect the unit.  
1 − Connect test gauge to manifold pressure post (figure  
Gas Pressure Adjustment  
2 − Ignite unit on high fire and let run for 5 minutes to allow  
for steady state conditions.  
Gas Flow (Approximate)  
3 − After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record  
manifold pressure and compare to value given in table  
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 22 below. If manifold pressure matches table 24  
and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and  
restriction. Remove temporary gas meter if installed.  
4 − If necessary, make adjustments. Figures 26 and 27  
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 man-  
ifold pressure. If low fire manifold pressure is more  
than 1/2" above or below value specified in table 24,  
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.  
Proper Combustion  
Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct  
manifold pressure and gas flow rate before checking com-  
bustion. Table 23 shows acceptable combustion for ALL  
SL280DFV models.

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.  
Other Unit Adjustments  
Primary and Secondary Limits  
The primary limit is located on the heating compartment  
vestibule panel. The secondary limits (if equipped) are lo-  
cated in the blower compartment, attached to the back side  
of the blower. These limits are factory set and require no  
adjustment.  
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..  
Flame Rollout Switch  
This manually reset switch is located on the burner box. If  
tripped, check for adequate combustion air before reset-  
ting.  
Pressure Switches  
The pressure switch assembly (includes two switches) is  
located in the heating compartment adjacent to the com-  
bustion air inducer. These switches check for proper com-  
bustion air inducer operation before allowing ignition trial.  
The switches are factory−set and require no adjustment.  
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 ignition oc-  
curs. At the same time, the control module sends a sig-  
nal to begin an indoor blower 30−second ON−delay.  
When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is ener-  
gized on the low fire heating speed, the HUM contacts  
close energizing the humidifier and 120V ACC termi-  
nal is energized. The furnace will continue this opera-  
tion as long as the thermostat has a first−stage heating  
demand.  
Temperature Rise  
Place the unit into operation with a second−stage heating de-  
mand. After supply and return air temperatures have stabi-  
lized, 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 blow-  
er speed to increase the temperature rise. Failure to properly  
adjust the temperature rise may cause erratic limit operation  
and may result in premature heat exchanger failure.  
Thermostat Heat Anticipation  
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.  
Set the heat anticipator setting (if adjustable) according to  
the amp draw listed on the wiring diagram that is attached  
to the unit.  
Heating Sequence of Operation  
Electronic Ignition  
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.  
The two−stage, variable speed integrated control used in  
SL280DFV units has an added feature of an internal Watch-  
guard control. The feature serves as an automatic reset de-  
vice for ignition control lockout caused by ignition failure.  
This type of lockout is usually due to low gas line pressure.  
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 integrated control thermostat selection DIP switch  
is factory−set in the ꢀTWO−STAGE" position.  
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.

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.  
4 − After the 20−second warm−up period has ended, the gas  
valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition oc-  
curs. At the same time, the control module sends a sig-  
nal to begin an indoor blower 30−second ON−delay.  
When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is ener-  
gized on the low fire heating speed and the HUM con-  
tacts are energized. The integrated control also initi-  
ates 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.
