Leak Check

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.

The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at pressures less than or equal to 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).

IMPORTANT

When testing pressure of gas lines, gas valve must be disconnected and isolated. See figure 18. Gas valves can be damaged if subjected to pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).

Refer to figure 24 for unit field wiring. See figures 21 and 22 for icomfort Touch® thermostat wiring in communicating applications. Table 13 shows DIP switch and on−board link settings for non−communicating thermostat applications. Typical wiring schematic is shown in figure 23.

Precautions and Procedures

CAUTION

Electrostatic discharge can affect elec- tronic components. Take precautions to neutralize electrostatic charge by touching your hand and tools to metal prior to handling the control.

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 hand side, clip the wire ties that bundle the wires together. Secure the excess wire to the existing harness to protect it from damage.

Lennox International Inc DAVE LENNOX SIGNATURE COLLECTION GAS FURNACE, SL280DFV Electrical, Make−Up Box

DAVE LENNOX SIGNATURE COLLECTION GAS FURNACE, SL280DFV specifications

Lennox International Inc has made a significant mark in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry, known for its commitment to innovation and energy efficiency. One of its standout products is the SL280DFV model, a high-efficiency gas furnace designed to meet the needs of modern homes.

The SL280DFV boasts an impressive Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 80%. This rating indicates that the furnace converts 80% of the fuel it consumes into usable heat, making it a cost-effective choice for homeowners. The high efficiency not only reduces energy bills but also lessens the environmental impact by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the key features of the SL280DFV is its two-stage gas valve operation. This technology allows the furnace to operate at two levels of heating output: low stage for milder days and high stage for extremely cold temperatures. This adaptability enhances comfort by maintaining more consistent indoor temperatures while also saving energy when full power is unnecessary.

Another innovative aspect of the SL280DFV is its variable-speed blower motor. This smart technology enables the furnace to adjust airflow based on the heating needs of a home, which promotes quiet operation and improved temperature consistency throughout living spaces.

The SL280DFV is equipped with a durable heat exchanger that is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, contributing to the unit’s longevity. Additionally, the furnace features a smart ignition system that ensures reliable start-ups, so homeowners can depend on it through the coldest winter nights.

Safety is also a priority in the design of the SL280DFV. It includes various safety features such as a built-in flame sensor and advanced venting system, designed to avert hazardous situations and ensure optimal operation.

Furthermore, Lennox offers convenient installation and maintenance support, making the SL280DFV not only an efficient heating solution but also a practical choice for homeowners. With its blend of advanced technology, high efficiency, and reliability, the Lennox SL280DFV is an appealing option for those looking to upgrade their home’s heating system, promising comfort and peace of mind for many winters to come.
