9 − Is the unit ignition system in lock out? If the unit locks out again, call the service technician to inspect the unit for blockages.

10 − Is pressure switch closed? Obstructed flue will cause unit to shut off at pressure switch. Check flue and outlet for blockages.

11 − Are flame rollout switches tripped? If flame rollout switches are tripped, call the service technician for in- spection.

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 restriction. Remove temporary gas meter if installed.

NOTE − To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas appliances connected to meter.

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 table 14 for supply line pressure.

Manifold Pressure

A manifold pressure post located on the gas valve provides

access to the manifold pressure. See figure 34. Back out the 3/32 hex screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16" tubing and connect to a manometer to measure manifold pres- sure.

NOTE − Pressure test adapter kit (10L34) is available from Lennox to facilitate manifold pressure measurement.

1 − Connect test gauge to manifold pressure post (figure 34) 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 14.

4 − If necessary, make adjustments. Figure 34 shows 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 14, replace valve.

NOTE − Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an accurate reading has been obtained. Turn the supply and manifold 3/32" hex screw one revolution back into the gas valve.

Proper Combustion

Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct manifold pressure and gas flow rate before checking com- bustion. Table 13 shows acceptable combustion for ALL EL280UH models. The maximum carbon monoxide reading should not exceed 50 ppm

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 and gas conversion kits.

Lennox International Inc Elite Series Gas Furnace Upflow/Horizontal Air Discharge Gas Pressure Adjustment, High Altitude

Elite Series Gas Furnace Upflow/Horizontal Air Discharge, EL280UH specifications

Lennox International Inc. has established itself as a leader in the heating and cooling industry, providing innovative solutions for both residential and commercial environments. One of their notable products is the EL280UH, a high-efficiency gas furnace designed to offer optimal comfort while minimizing energy consumption.

The EL280UH operates with an impressive Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 80%. This efficiency rating means that 80% of the fuel consumed is converted into heat, making it a cost-effective option for homeowners looking to reduce their utility bills. The furnace’s design is tailored to deliver reliable warmth during the coldest months, ensuring a comfortable home environment.

A key feature of the EL280UH is its two-stage heating capability. This technology allows the furnace to operate at a lower heating output for less demanding conditions, which not only conserves energy but also helps maintain a more consistent temperature in the home. When the demand for heat increases, the furnace can seamlessly transition to its higher output setting, providing quick and effective heating when needed.

Additionally, the EL280UH is equipped with a durable cabinet that minimizes heat loss, enhancing overall performance. The design incorporates several sound-dampening features as well, which contributes to quieter operation, allowing homeowners to enjoy a serene indoor environment.

The furnace also includes an advanced control system that integrates easily with smart home technology. This feature enables users to monitor and adjust their heating settings from anywhere using a smartphone app, creating added convenience and control over home heating.

Safety is another paramount aspect of the EL280UH. It includes an integrated flame sensor and pressure switch, ensuring reliable operation while minimizing risks associated with furnace malfunctions. The design adheres to stringent safety standards, providing users with peace of mind.

In summary, the Lennox EL280UH furnace stands out for its high efficiency, advanced features, and commitment to user safety. Its two-stage heating capability, quiet operation, and smart home integration make it an excellent choice for homeowners looking to enhance their heating system while being energy-conscious. The EL280UH embodies Lennox's dedication to quality and innovation, ensuring that comfort and efficiency go hand in hand.
