Certifications EL280DF units are CSA International certified.
In the USA, installation of gas furnaces must conform with local building codes. In the absence of local codes, units must be installed according to the current National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1). The National Fuel Gas Code is available from the following address:
American National Standards Institute, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street New York, NY 10036
Clearances
Adequate clearance must be made around the air openings into the vestibule area. In order to ensure proper unit operation, combustion and ventilation air supply must be provided according to the current National Fuel Gas Code.
Vent installations must be consistent with the National Fuel Gas Code venting tables (in this instruction) and applicable provisions of local building codes.
This furnace is CSA International certified for installation clearances to combustible material as listed on the unit nameplate and in the tables in figure 13. Accessibility and service clearances must take precedence over fire protection clearances.
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 a public garage, hangar, or other building that has a hazardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed according to recommended good practice requirements and current National Fuel Gas Code.
NOTE - Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature rise within the range(s) specified on the unit nameplate. Failure to do so may cause erratic limit operation and may also result in premature heat exchanger failure.
This EL280DF furnace must be installed so that its electrical components are protected from water.
Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil
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. With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or other means to control the flow of air) must adequately prevent chilled air from entering the furnace (see figure 1). 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.

FIGURE 1
When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded according to local codes. In addition, in the United States, installation must conform with the current National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following address:
National Fire Protection Association 1 Battery March Park Quincy, MA 02269 NOTE - This furnace is designed for a minimum continuous return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermittent operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases where a night setback thermostat is used. Return air temperature must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.
The EL280DF furnace may be installed in alcoves, closets, attics, basements, garages, and utility rooms in the downflow position. This furnace design has not been CSA International certified for installation in mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or outdoors.
Use of Furnace as Construction Heater
Lennox does not recommend the use of EL280DF units as a construction heater during any phase of construction. Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and operation of the unit with clogged or misplaced filters will damage the unit.
EL280DF units may be used for heating of buildings or structures under construction, if the following conditions are met: D The vent system must be permanently installed per
these installation instructions.

D A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is not allowed.
D The return air duct must be provided and sealed to the furnace.
D Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C) and 80°F (27°C) must be maintained.
D Air filters must be installed in the system and must be maintained during construction.
D Air filters must be replaced upon construction completion.
D The input rate and temperature rise must be set per the furnace rating plate.
D One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be provided for combustion air requirements during construction. Temporary ducting may supply outdoor air to the furnace. Do not connect duct directly to the furnace. Size the temporary duct following these instructions in section for Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air in a confined space with air from outside.
D The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system, air filters and evaporator coils must be thoroughly cleaned following final construction clean-up.
D All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, input rate, temperature rise and venting) must be verified according to these installation instructions.
General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the following general recommendations must be considered when installing a EL280DF furnace:
D Place the furnace as close to the center of the air distribution system as possible. The furnace should also be located close to the chimney or vent termination point.
D Do not install the furnace where drafts might blow directly into it. This could cause improper combustion and unsafe operation.
D Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper combustion and safe unit operation.
D When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insulated space, keep insulation away from the furnace.
NOTE - The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipulates these additional requirements:
D Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumber or fitter only.
D The gas cock must be T handle" type. D When a furnace is installed in an attic, the passage-
way to and service area surrounding the equipment shall be floored.

WARNING
The State of California has determined that this product may contain or produce a chemical or chemicals, in very low doses, which may cause serious illness or death. It may also cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm.
Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient outdoor 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 combustion. 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 living space creating a potentially dangerous situation. In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in this section to install EL280DF furnaces to ensure efficient 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 material is not the complete and official position of the ANSI on the referenced subject, which is represented only by the standard in its entirety.
CAUTION
Do not install the furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventilation air requirements, as well as all local codes.

CAUTION
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rusting 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 combustion air supply:
Permanent wave solutions Chlorinated waxes and cleaners Chlorine base swimming pool chemicals Water softening chemicals De-icing salts or chemicals Carbon tetrachloride Halogen type refrigerants Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene) Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc. Hydrochloric acid Cements and glues Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers Masonry acid washing materials
All gas-fired appliances require air for the combustion process. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the furnace or other appliances will operate inefficiently and unsafely. 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, exhaust 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.
In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air dilutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contaminants may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, solvents and other contaminants which can corrode furnace components.
The requirements for providing air for combustion and ventilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed in an unconfined or a confined space.
Unconfined Space An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the combined 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 unconfined, 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.

Page 5

Confined Space
A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cubic feet (1.42 m3) 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 containing 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.

FIGURE 2

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 square inch (645 mm2) 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 (64516 mm2). 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. See figure 2.
Air from Outside If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventilation, the confined space must have two permanent openings. 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 directly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 4,000 Btu (1.17 kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See figures 3 and 4. When communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See figure 5.
When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross-sectional 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 covering is not known for calculating the size opening required, it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20 to 25 percent 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 published by Air Conditioning Contractors of America or American 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.
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 limit 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.
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 a room, a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas 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 combustion and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas might then be distributed throughout the house by the furnace duct system.
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 insulation. The EL280DF 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 appliance equipped with an integral mechanical means to either draw or force combustion products through the combustion chamber and/or heat exchanger. NOTE - Use these instructions as a guide. They do not supersede local codes. This furnace must be vented according 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 application, termination, construction and location of vents must conform to local codes having jurisdiction. In the absence of local codes, the NFGC serves as the defining document.

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 Disconnected 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.
WARNING
Asphyxiation hazard. The exhaust vent for this furnace must be securely connected to the furnace flue transition at all times.

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

chimney wall with puffed mica or any other loose granular insulating material

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.
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 method must be found.
Insulation for the flexible vent pipe must be an encapsulated fiberglass sleeve recommended by the flexible vent pipe manufacturer. See figure 16.

IMPORTANT
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 according to the provided venting tables and the vent pipe manufacturer's instructions.
A fan-assisted furnace may be commonly vented into an existing lined masonry chimney if the following conditions are met:

When inspection reveals that an existing chimney is not safe for the intended purpose, it shall be rebuilt to conform to nationally recognized standards, lined or relined with suitable materials, or replaced with a gas vent or chimney suitable for venting EL280DF series units. The chimney passageway must be checked periodically to ensure that it is clear and free of obstructions.
Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator, or flue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney.

Page 12

Never connect a Category I appliance to a chimney that is servicing a solid-fuel appliance. If a fireplace chimney flue is used to vent this appliance, the fireplace opening must be permanently sealed. A type B or listed chimney lining system that passes through an unused masonry chimney flue is not considered to be exposed to the outdoors.
General Venting Requirements Vent all EL280DF furnaces according to these instructions:
1 - Vent diameter recommendations and maximum allowable 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.
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.
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 determine 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 appliance categorized vent area, drafthood outlet area or flue collar area unless designed according to approved engineering methods.
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 designed according to approved engineering methods.
6 - The entire length of single wall metal vent connector shall be readily accessible for inspection, cleaning, and replacement.
7 - Single appliance venting configurations with zero lateral lengths (tables 5 and NO TAG) 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% (0.90 x maximum listed capacity).
8 - The common venting tables (6, 7, NO TAG, and NO TAG) were generated using a maximum horizontal vent connector length of 1-1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm) of connector diameter as follows:

TABLE 4

Connector Diameter

7-1/2 (2.29)

6 (152)

9 (2.74)

7 (178)

10-1/2 (3.20)

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.

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 using the shortest possible route.

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.

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 crawlspace 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.

14 - All venting pipe passing through floors, walls, and ceilings 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).

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).

18 - The common vent diameter must always be at least as large as the largest vent connector diameter.

Page 13

19 - In no case, shall the vent connector be sized more than

cated or common venting system, you must inspect the

two consecutive table size diameters over the size of the draft hood outlet or flue collar outlet. 20 - Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator or flue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney. 21 - When connecting this appliance to an existing dedi-

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 requirements, it must be resized.

Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a venting system commonly run with separate gas appliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
Conduct the following test while each appliance is operating and the other appliances (which are not operating) remain 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 requirements section.
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 monoxide poisoning or death. The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
1 - Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
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 - Close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers 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 operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
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 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 dampers, and any other gas-burning appliances to their previous mode of operation.
7 - If a venting problem is found during any of the preceding tests, the common venting system must be modified to correct the problem.

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 standards of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
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
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.
Gas Supply
1 - This unit is shipped standard for left or right side installation of gas piping. Connect the gas supply to the piping assembly.
2 - When connecting the gas supply piping, consider factors such as length of run, number of fittings, and furnace rating to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table 8 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.
4 - The piping should be sloped 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) per 15 feet (4.57 m) upward toward the meter from the furnace. The piping must be supported at proper intervals [every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.01 m)] with suitable hangers 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. See figure NO TAG.
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.
IMPORTANT
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the actions of liquified petroleum gases.
NOTE - If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the main manual gas valve and disconnect main power to the furnace. The installer should properly label these devices.

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 after 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 greater 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.).

FIGURE 19
Refer to figure 20 for schematic wiring diagram and troubleshooting and table 9 for field wiring. The power supply wiring must meet Class I restrictions. Protected by either a fuse or circuit breaker, select circuit protection and wire size according to unit nameplate. NOTE - Unit nameplate states maximum current draw. Maximum over-current protection allowed is 15 AMP. Holes are on both sides of the furnace cabinet to facilitate wiring. Install a separate (properly sized) disconnect switch near the furnace so that power can be turned off for servicing. 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. Complete the wiring connections to the equipment. Use 18-gauge wire or larger that is suitable 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 National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70). A green ground wire is provided in the field make-up box. NOTE - The EL280DF furnace contains electronic components that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the furnace is wired correctly and is properly grounded. Accessory Terminals One line voltage EAC" 1/4" spade terminal is provided on the furnace integrated control. See figure 21 for integrated 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

Page 18

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 external relay.
One line voltage HUM" 1/4" spade terminnal is provided on the furnace integrated control. See figure 21 for integrated control configuration. This terminal is energized in the heating mode when the combustion air inducer is operating. Any humidifier 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 a humidifier rated at greater than one amp is connected to this terminal, it is necessary to use an external relay relay.
One 24V "H" 1/4" spade terminal is provided on the furnace integrated control. See figure 21 for integrated control configuration. The terminal is energized in the heating mode when the combustion air inducer is operating and the pressure switch is closed. Any humidifier rated up to 0.5 amp can be connected to this terminal with the ground leg of the circuit connected to ground or the "C" terminal.
Generator Use - Voltage Requirements
The following requirements must be kept in mind when specifying a generator for use with this equipment: S The furnace requires 120 volts + 10% (Range: 108

volts to 132 volts). S The furnace operates at 60 Hz + 5% (Range: 57 Hz to
63 Hz). S The furnace integrated control requires both proper
polarity and proper ground. Both polarity and proper grounding should be checked before attempting to operate the furnace on either permanent or temporary power. S Generator should have a wave form distortion of less than 5% total harmonic distortion (THC).
Thermostat
Install the room thermostat according to the instructions provided with the thermostat. See table 9 for thermostat designations. If the furnace is being matched with a heat pump, refer to the FM21 installation instruction or appropriate dual fuel thermostat instructions.
Indoor Blower Speeds
1 - When the thermostat is set to FAN ON," the indoor blower will run continuously on the low heat speed when there is no cooling or heating demand.
2 - When the EL280DF is operating in the high-fire or low- fire heating mode, the indoor blower will run on the corresponding heating speed.
3 - When the EL280DF is operating in the low cool or the high cool cooling mode, the indoor blower will run on the corresponding cooling speed.

EL280DF 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 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 continuous thermostat demand for heat, the watchguard will break and remake thermostat demand to the furnace and automatically reset the control to relight the furnace.

Switch 2 -- Second Stage Delay (Used with Single- Stage Thermostat Only) -- This switch is used to determine the second stage on delay when a single-stage thermostat 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

Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before checking gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two revolutions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time in table 11. If manifold pressure matches table 13 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 22. Back out the 3/32 hex screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing and connect to a manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 13 for supply line pressure.
Manifold Pressure
NOTE - Pressure test adapter kit (10L34) is available from Lennox to facilitate manifold pressure measurement.
1 - Connect test gauge to manifold pressure tap (figure 22) 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 13.
4 - If necessary, make adjustments. Figure 22 shows location of high fire adjustment screw.
5 - If an adjustment is made on high fire, re-check manifold pressure on low fire. Do not adjust low fire manifold pressure. If low fire manifold pressure is more than 1/2" above or below value specified in table 13, replace valve.
NOTE - Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an accurate reading has been obtained. Take care to remove barbed fitting and replace threaded plug.

Other Unit Adjustments
Primary and Secondary Limits
The primary limit is located on the heating compartment vestibule panel. The secondary limits (if equipped) are located in the blower compartment, attached to the back side of the blower. These auto reset limits are factory-set and require no adjustment.
Flame Rollout Switches
These manually reset switches are located on 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 allowing 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 DIP switches 3 and 4. See figure 23 and table 10. The unit is shipped with a factory fan-off delay setting of 90 seconds. The fan-off delay affects comfort and is adjustable 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. Longer off delay settings provide lower return air temperatures; shorter settings provide higher return air temperatures. See figure 23.
