Safety Information  
Installed Locations  
For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must  
be installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source  
are located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the  
floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid  
physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed  
in apublic garage, hangar, or other building that has a haz-  
ardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed accord-  
ing to recommended good practice requirements and cur-  
rent National Fuel Gas Code.  
DANGER  
Danger of explosion.  
There are circumstances in which odorant used with  
LP/propane gas can lose its scent. In case of a leak,  
LP/propane gas will settle close to the floor and may  
be difficult to smell. An LP/propane leak detector  
should be installed in all LP applications.  
Temperature Rise  
NOTE − Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature  
rise within the range specified on the unit nameplate. Failure  
to do so may cause erratic limit operation and may result in  
premature heat exchanger failure.  
WARNING  
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service  
or maintenance can cause property damage, person-  
al injury or loss of life. Installation and service must  
be performed by a licensed professional installer (or  
equivalent), service agency or the gas supplier.  
This EL280UH furnace must be installed so that its electri-  
cal components are protected from water.

Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil  
This furnace design has not been CSA International  
certified for installation in mobile homes, recreational  
vehicles, or outdoors.  
When this furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be  
installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling  
units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment.  
See figure 2. With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or  
other means to control the flow of air) must adequately pre-  
vent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damper is  
manually operated, it must be equipped to prevent operation  
of either the heating or the cooling unit, unless it is in the full  
HEAT or COOL setting. See figure 2.  
Use of Furnace as Construction Heater  
Lennox does not recommend the use of EL280UH 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.  
EL280UH units may be used for heating of buildings or  
structures under construction, if the following conditions  
are met:  
Heating Unit Installed Parallel to Cooling Coil  
D The vent system must be permanently installed per  
these installation instructions.  
Dampers  
(open during heating operation only)  
D A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of  
fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is not  
allowed.

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.  
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combus-  
tion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in  
this section to install EL280UH furnaces to ensure efficient  
and safe operation. You must consider combustion air  
needs and requirements for exhaust vents and gas piping.  
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.

Unconfined Space  
Air from Inside  
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or  
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic  
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  
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.  
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  
2
(64516 mm ). One opening shall be within 12 inches (305  
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  
Confined Space  
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.  
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.  
2
free area of 1 square inch (645 mm ) per 4,000 Btu (1.17  
kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the en-

2
have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm ) per  
2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all equipment in  
the enclosure. See figure 6.  
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.

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.  
SERVICE PLATFORM  
NOTE − Do not operate the furnace in the heating mode  
with an external static pressure that exceeds 0.5 inches  
w.c. Higher external static pressures may cause erratic lim-  
it operation.  
FIGURE 14  
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 inspection  
(either by smoke or reflected 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 operat-  
ing and it must not allow leaks into the supply air duct sys-  
tem.  
WARNING  
Improper installation of the furnace can result in per-  
sonal injury or death. Combustion and flue 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 ple-  
num. 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. Al-  
low 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 fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explosion, carbon  
monoxide poisoning, personal injury and/or proper-  
ty damage could result.  
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 de-  
vice (i.e., wood fireplace) is installed.  
When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pres-  
sure is created in the room. If agas appliance is operating  
in a room with negative pressure, 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 com-  
bustion and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This  
toxic gas might then be distributed throughout the house  
by the furnace duct system.  
WARNING  
The blower access panel must be securely in place  
when the blower and burners are operating. Gas  
fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can  
be drawn into living space resulting in personal inju-  
ry or death.  
In upflow applications, the return air can be brought in  
through the bottom or either side of the furnace. If a fur-  
nace 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 fiberglass sealing strips, caulking, or equiva-  
lent sealing method between the plenum and the furnace  
cabinet to ensure a tight seal. If a filter is installed, size the  
return air duct to fit the filter frame.  
Filters  
This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field−pro-  
vided high−velocity filter is required for the unit to operate  
properly. Table 1 lists recommended filter sizes.  
A filter must be in place any time the unit is operating.

The EL280UH 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) in the USA. A fan−assisted Category I fur-  
nace is an appliance equipped with an integral mechanical  
means to either draw or force combustion products through  
the combustion chamber and/or heat exchanger. The  
EL280UH is not approved for use with horizontal venting.  
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.  
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 flexible metal vent.  
An exterior tile−lined chimney that is sealed and capped  
may be lined with a listed uninsulated flexible metal vent.  
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  
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.  
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.  
Insulation for the flexible vent pipe must be an encapsu-  
lated fiberglass sleeve recommended by the flexible vent  
pipe manufacturer. See figure 24.  
Refer to the tables and the venting information contained in  
these instructions to properly size and install the venting  
system.  
IMPORTANT  
Once the venting system is installed, attach the ꢀDis-  
connected Vent" warning sticker to a visible area of  
warning sticker is provided in the bag assembly. Or-  
der kit 66W04 for additional stickers.  
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 23.  
Install the first vent connector elbow at a minimum of six  
inches (152 mm) from the furnace vent outlet. See figure

NOTE − Single appliance venting configurations with zero lateral lengths are assumed to have no elbows in the vent system. For all other  
vent configurations, 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 percent (0.90 x maxi-  
mum listed capacity).

Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 burner have operated for 5 minutes, test for  
leaks of flue gases at the draft hood relief opening. Use  
the flame of a match or candle.  
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 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:  
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.  
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.  
1 − Seal any unused openings in the common venting sys-  
tem.  
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.  
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.  
Page 22

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 in vertical pipe runs to the  
unit.  
Gas Piping  
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.  
CAUTION  
5 − A 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located  
on the gas valve to facilitate test gauge connection.  
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.  
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.  
Gas Supply  
1 − This unit is shipped standard for left or right side instal-  
lation of gas piping (or top entry in horizontal applica-  
tions). Connect the gas supply to the piping assembly.  
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 9  
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.  
IMPORTANT  
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping  
must be resistant to the actions of liquified petro-  
leum gases.  
NOTE − If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the main  
manual gas valve and disconnect main power to the fur-  
nace. The installer should properly label these devices.

Leak Check  
The unit is equipped with a field make−up box on the left  
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 side, clip the wire ties  
that bundle the wires together. The excess wire must be  
pulled into the blower compartment. Secure the excess  
wire to the existing harness to protect it from damage.  
After gas piping is completed, carefully check all piping  
connections (factory− and field−installed) for gas leaks. Use  
a leak detecting solution or other preferred means.  
NOTE − If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the main  
manual gas valve and disconnect the main power to the  
furnace. The installer should properly label these devices.

CAUTION  
Some soaps used for leak detection are corrosive to  
certain metals. Carefully rinse piping thoroughly af-  
ter leak test has been completed. Do not use  
matches, candles, flame or other sources of ignition  
to check for gas leaks.  
BOX  
The furnace must be isolated by closing its individual  
manual shut-off valve and disconnecting from from the gas  
supply system the during any pressure testing of the gas  
supply system at pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.48

Before connecting the thermostat, check to make sure the  
wires will be long enough for servicing at a later date. Make  
sure that thermostat wire is long enough to facilitate future  
removal of blower for service.  
Generator Use − Voltage Requirements  
The following requirements must be kept in mind when  
specifying a generator for use with this equipment:  
S
S
S
The furnace requires 120 volts + 10% (Range: 108  
volts to 132 volts).  
Complete the wiring connections to the equipment. Use the  
provided unit wiring diagram and the field wiring diagram  
shown in figure 32. Use 18−gauge wire or larger that is suit-  
able for Class II rating for thermostat connections.  
Electrically ground the unit according to local codes or, in  
the absence of local codes, according to the current Na-  
tional Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70). A green ground  
wire is provided in the field make−up box.  
The furnace operates at 60 Hz + 5% (Range: 57 Hz to  
63 Hz).  
The furnace integrated control requires both 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% total harmonic distortion (THD).  
S
NOTE − The EL280UH furnace contains electronic compo-  
nents that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the furnace  
is wired correctly and is properly grounded.  
Thermostat  
Install the room thermostat according to the instructions  
provided with the thermostat. See table 10 for thermostat  
designations. If the furnace is being matched with a heat  
pump, refer to the FM21 installation instruction or appropri-  
ate dual fuel thermostat instructions.  
Accessory Terminals  
One line voltage ꢀEAC" 1/4" spade terminal is provided on  
control configuration. This terminal is energized when the  
indoor blower is operating. Any accessory rated up to one  
amp can be connected to this terminal with the neutral leg  
of the circuit being connected to one of the provided neutral  
terminals. If an accessory rated at greater than one amp is  
connected to this terminal, it is necessary to use an exter-  
nal relay.  
Indoor Blower Speeds  
1 − When the thermostat is set to ꢀFAN ON," the indoor  
blower will run continuously on the low speed when  
there is no cooling or heating demand.  
2 − When the EL280UH is operating in the high−fire or low−  
fire heating mode, the indoor blower will run on the cor-  
responding heating speed.  
One line voltage ꢀHUM" 1/4" spade terminal is provided on  
control configuration. This terminal is energized in the  
heating mode when the combustion air inducer is operat-  
ing. Any humidifier rated up to one amp can be connected  
to this terminal with the neutral leg of the circuit being con-  
nected to one of the provided neutral terminals. If a humidi-  
fier rated at greater than one amp is connected to this termi-  
nal, it is necessary to use an external relay relay.  
3 − When the EL280UH is operating in the low cool or the  
high cool cooling mode, the indoor blower will run on  
the corresponding cooling speed.

justed by moving switches 3 and 4 on the integrated con-  
trol. The unit is shipped from the factory with a heating  
blower−off delay of 90 seconds. The heating blower off  
delay affects comfort and is adjustable to satisfy individual  
applications. Adjust the blower off delay to achieve a sup-  
ply 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 11 pro-  
vides the blower off timings that will result from different  
switch settings.  
Integrated Control  
EL280UH units are equipped with a two−stage integrated  
control. This control manages ignition timing and fan off  
delays based on selections made using the control DIP  
switches. The control includes an internal watchguard fea-  
ture which automatically resets the integrated control when  
it has been locked out. After one hour of continuous ther-  
mostat demand for heat, the watchguard will break and re-  
make thermostat demand to the furnace and automatically  
reset the control to relight the furnace.  
DIP Switch Settings  
TABLE 11  
Heating Blower−Off Delay 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.

Switch 5 −− Cooling Blower−Off Delay −− The cooling  
blower−off delay (time that the blower operates after the  
cooling demand has been satisfied) can be adjusted by  
moving switch 5 on the integrated control. The switch is fac-  
tory−set in the OFF position, which provides a cooling blow-  
er−off delay of 45 seconds. If the switch is toggled to the ON  
position, it will provide a 2−second cooling blower−off delay  
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 Single−  
Stage 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 10−minute delay before second−  
stage heat is initiated. If the switch is toggled to the ON  
position, it will provide a 15−minute delay before second−  
stage heat is initiated. This switch is only activated when  
the thermostat selector jumper is positioned for SINGLE−  
stage thermostat use.  
On−Board Link W951 Heat Pump (R to O)  
On−board link W951 is a clippable connection between ter-  
minals R and O on the integrated control. W951 must be cut  
when the furnace is installed in applications which include a  
heat pump unit and a thermostat which features dual fuel  
use. If the link is left intact, terminal ꢀO" will remain ener-  
gized 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 ter-  
minals Y1 and Y2 on the integrated control. W915 must be  
cut if two−stage cooling will be used. If the link is not cut the  
outdoor unit will operate in second−stage cooling only and  
the indoor blower will operate on high cool speed only.  
Switches 3 and 4 −− Heating Blower−Off Delay −− The  
heating blower−on delay of 30 seconds is not adjustable.

Proper Combustion  
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 12 below. If manifold pressure matches table 14  
and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and

Supply Pressure Measurement  
An inlet post located on the gas valve provides access to  
the supply pressure. See figure 34. Back out the 3/32" hex  
screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16" tubing and con-  
nect to a manometer to measure supply pressure. See  
High Altitude  
The manifold pressure may require adjustment and com-  
bustion air pressure switch may need replacing to ensure  
proper combustion at higher altitudes. Refer to table 14 for  
manifold pressure and table 15 for pressure switch change

Pressure Switch  
To adjust fan−off timing, flip dip switch to desired setting.  
The pressure switch is located in the heating compartment  
adjacent to the combustion air inducer. The switch checks  
for proper combustion air inducer operation before allow-  
ing ignition trial. The switch is factory−set and requires no  
adjustment.  
FIGURE 35  
Electrical  
1 − Check all wiring for loose connections.  
2 − Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace  
operating). Correct voltage is 120VAC + 10%.  
Temperature Rise  
After the furnace has been started, and supply and return  
air temperatures have been allowed to stabilize, check the  
temperature rise. If necessary, adjust the blower speed to  
maintain the temperature rise within the range shown on  
the unit nameplate. Increase the blower speed to decrease  
the temperature. Decrease the blower speed to increase  
the temperature rise. Failure to adjust the temperature rise  
may cause erratic limit operation.  
3 − Check amp−draw on the blower motor with inner blow-  
er panel in place.  
Unit Nameplate__________Actual__________  
Blower Speeds  
Follow the steps below to change the blower speeds.  
1 − Turn off electrical power to furnace.  
2 − Remove blower access panel.  
3 − Disconnect existing speed tap at integrated control  
speed terminal.  
Fan Control  
The fan−on time of 30 seconds is not adjustable. The heat  
fan−off delay (amount of time that the blower operates after  
the heat demand has been satisfied) may be adjusted by  
changing DIP switches 3 and 4. See figure 35 and table 11.  
The unit is shipped with a factory fan−off delay setting of 90  
seconds. The fan−off delay affects comfort and is adjust-  
able to satisfy individual applications. Adjust the fan−off  
delay to achieve a supply air temperature between 90° and  
110°F at the moment that the blower is de−energized. Lon-  
ger off delay settings provide lower return air temperatures;  
shorter settings provide higher return air temperatures.  
NOTE − Termination of any unused motor leads must be  
insulated.  
4 − Place unused blower speed tap on integrated control  
ꢀPARK" terminal or insulate.  
5 − Refer to blower speed selection chart on unit wiring dia-  
gram for desired heating or cooling speed. See Blower  
performance data beginning on the next page.  
6 − Connect selected speed tap at integrated control  
speed terminal.  
7 − Resecure blower access panel.  
Thermostat Heat Anticipation  
8 − Turn on electrical power to furnace.  
9 − Recheck temperature rise.  
Set the heat anticipator setting (if adjustable) according to  
the amp draw listed on the wiring diagram that is attached  
to the unit.  
Electronic Ignition  
The integrated control has an added feature of an internal  
Watchguard control. The feature serves as an automatic re-  
set device for integrated 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 inte-  
grated control to begin the ignition sequence.  
NOTE − Do not secure the electrical conduit directly to the  
air ducts or structure.

Heating Sequence of Operation  
When there is a call for heat, the integrated control runs a  
self check. The control checks for S10 primary limit, S21  
secondary limit (s) and S47 rollout switch normally closed  
contacts. The control also checks for S102 high heat and  
S128 low heat prove switch normally open contacts. Once  
self check is complete and all safety switches are opera-  
tional, heat call can continue.  
1− SureLight control energizes combustion air inducer B6  
on low heat speed. Combustion air inducer runs until  
S128 low heat prove switch contacts close (switch  
must close within 2 1/2 minutes or control goes into  
Watchguard Pressure Switch mode. High heat prove  
switch S102 may also close). A 15 second pre−purge  
follows once S128 closes.

Service  
WARNING  
The blower access panel must be securely in place  
when the blower and burners are operating. Gas  
fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can  
be drawn into living space resulting in personal inju-  
ry or death.  
WARNING  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,  
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.  
Filters  
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result  
in dangerous operation, serious injury, death or  
property damage.  
Improper servicing could result in dangerous opera-  
tion, serious injury, death, or property damage.  
Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to  
furnace.  
All EL280UH filters are installed external to the unit. Filters  
should be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the filters  
when necessary to ensure that the furnace operates prop-  
erly. Replacement filters must be rated for high velocity air-  
flow. Table 1 lists recommended filter sizes.  
Flue And Chimney  
When servicing controls, label all wires prior to dis-  
connecting. Take care to reconnect wires correctly.  
Verify proper operation after servicing.  
1 − Check flue pipe, chimney and all connections for tight-  
ness and to make sure there is no blockage.  
2 − Check unit for proper draft.  
Electrical  
At the beginning of each heating season, a qualified techni-  
cian should check the system as follows:  
1 − Check all wiring for loose connections.  
2 − Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace  
operating). Correct voltage is 120VAC + 10%.  
Blower  
Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary.  
The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing  
life. No further lubrication is needed.  
3 − Check amp−draw on the blower motor with inner blow-  
er panel in place.

Cleaning the Heat Exchanger and Burners  
NOTE − Use papers or protective covering in front of the fur-  
nace during cleaning.  
5 − Remove the collector box located behind the combus-  
tion air inducer. Be careful with the collector box gas-  
ket. If the gasket is damaged, it must be replaced to  
prevent leakage.  
1 − Turn off both electrical and gas power supplies to fur-  
nace.  
2 − Remove flue pipe and top cap (some applications top  
cap can remain) from the unit.  
6 − Disconnect gas supply piping. Remove the screw se-  
curing the burner box cover and remove cover. Re-  
move the four screws securing the burner manifold as-  
sembly to the vestibule panel and remove the  
assembly from the unit.  
3 − Label the wires from gas valve, rollout switches, prima-  
ry limit switch and make−up box then disconnect them.  
4 − Remove the screws that secure the combustion air in-  
ducer/pressure switch assembly to the collector box.  
Carefully remove the combustion air inducer to avoid  
damaging blower gasket. If gasket is damaged, it must  
be replaced to prevent leakage.  
7 − Remove screws securing burner box and remove  
burner box.  
8 − NOX units only − Remove screw securing NOX insert.  
Remove NOX insert. See figure 37.

12 −To clean burners, run a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush  
attachment over the face of burners. Visually inspect in-  
side the burners and crossovers for any blockage  
caused by foreign matter. Remove any blockage. Figure  
36 shows burner detail.

Planned Service  
The following items should be checked during an annual inspection. Power to the unit must be shut off for the service techni-  
cian’s safety.  
Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the room  
where the furnace is installed) − Must be open and unob-  
structed to provide combustion air.  
Operating performance − Unit must be observed during  
operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and the  
vent system.  
Combustion gases − Flue products must be analyzed and  
Burners − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of water.  
compared to the unit specifications.  
Vent pipe − Must be inspected for signs of water, damaged  
Problems detected during the inspection may make it nec-  
essary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the items  
can be repaired or replaced.  
or sagging pipe, or disconnected joints.  
Unit appearance − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs  
of water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.  
Instruct the homeowners to pay attention to their  
furnace. Situations can arise between annual furnace in-  
spections that may result in unsafe operation. For instance,  
items innocently stored next to the furnace may obstruct  
the combustion air supply. This could cause incomplete  
combustion and the production of carbon monoxide gas.  
Blower access panel − Must be properly in place and pro-  
vide a seal between the return air and the room where the  
furnace is installed.  
Return air duct − Must be properly attached and provide  
an air seal to the unit.  
Repair Parts List  
The following repair parts are available through independent Lennox dealers. When ordering parts, include the complete  
furnace model number listed on the CSA International nameplate −− Example: EL280UH070P24A−01. All service must be  
performed by a licensed professional installer (or equivalent), service agency, or gas supplier.
