NOTE − A natural to L.P. propane gas changeover kit is necessary to convert this unit. Refer to the changeover kit installation instruction for the conversion

procedure.

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 auto reset limits are factory−set and re- quire no adjustment.

Flame Rollout Switches

This manually reset switches are located on the top of the burner box.

Pressure Switch

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.

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.

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 the jumper position across the five pins on the in- tegrated control. The unit is shipped with a factory fan−off delay setting of 90 seconds. The fan−off delay affects com- fort and is adjustable to satisfy individual applications. Ad- just the fan−off delay to achieve a supply air temperature between 90° and 110°F at the moment that the blower is de−energized. Longer off delay settings provide lower re- turn air temperatures; shorter settings provide higher re- turn air temperatures. See figure 36.

Merit Series Gas Furnace specifications

Lennox International Inc. is a leading name in the heating and cooling industry, and their Merit Series Gas Furnace embodies the commitment to quality and efficiency that the company is known for. The Merit Series is designed to provide reliable heating in a sustainable manner, making it an excellent choice for homeowners seeking comfort without excessive energy bills.

One of the standout features of the Merit Series Gas Furnace is its efficiency ratings. The units in this series typically boast Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings of up to 95%. This level of efficiency means that the furnace converts a significant portion of the fuel it uses into heat, ultimately lowering operating costs. Such energy-efficient performance is not only beneficial for the wallet but also promotes environmental sustainability.

The Merit Series also incorporates advanced technologies that enhance its operation. The inclusion of a multi-speed blower motor is a notable feature that provides thoughtful airflow management throughout the home. By adjusting the speed according to the heating needs, the furnace optimizes comfort levels while minimizing noise and energy consumption. Homeowners can enjoy a warm environment without the disruptive sounds often associated with traditional furnaces.

Moreover, the Merit Series comes equipped with durable construction materials designed to withstand the test of time. From the robust heat exchanger to the heavy-gauge cabinet, Lennox focuses on longevity and reliability. This ensures that homeowners can trust their furnace to operate effectively even in the harshest winter conditions.

Safety features are also integral to the design of the Merit Series Gas Furnace. With an integrated Flame Sensor and a built-in safety shut-off system, the furnace ensures that any irregularities in operation are promptly detected and addressed. Such measures provide peace of mind for families using the heating system throughout the cold months.

Installation and maintenance are further simplified with the Merit Series. Its design facilitates easier access for HVAC professionals, allowing for quicker installations and routine service, ensuring that homeowners spend less time and money on upkeep.

In conclusion, Lennox International Inc.'s Merit Series Gas Furnace combines efficiency, advanced technology, and robust construction, making it a top choice for families looking to enhance their home's heating system.
