Lennox EL180UHE - Gas Pressure Adjustment and High Altitude

11 - Are ame rollout switches tripped? If ame rollout
switches are tripped, call the service technician for
inspection.
Heating Sequence Of Operation
(follow steps below or see Figure 29 for more detail)
1 - When thermostat calls for heat, combustion air
blower starts.
2 - Combustion air pressure switch proves blower
operation. Switch is factory-set and requires no
adjustment.
3 - After a 15-second prepurge, the hot surface ignitor
energizes.
4 - After a 20-second ignitor warm-up period, the gas
valve solenoid opens. A 4-second trial for ignition
period begins.
5 - Gas is ignited, ame sensor proves the ame, and
the combustion process continues.
6 - If ame is not detected after rst ignition trial,
the ignition control will repeat steps 3 and 4 four
more times before locking out the gas valve
(“WATCHGUARD” ame failure mode). The ignition
control will then automatically repeat steps 1
through 6 after 60 minutes.
7 - To interrupt the 60-minute “WATCHGUARD” period
move thermostat from “Heat” to “OFF” then back to
“Heat.” Heating sequence then restarts at step 1.

Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before check-
ing gas ow. 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 8. If manifold pressure matches table 10 and rate
is incorrect, check gas orices for proper size and restric-
tion. Remove temporary gas meter if installed.
NOTE - To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas
appliances connected to meter.
Supply Pressure Measurement
A threaded plug on the inlet side of the gas valve provides
access to the supply pressure tap. Remove the thread-
ed plug, install a eld-provided barbed tting and connect
a manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 10
for proper line pressure. Replace the threaded plug after
measurements have been taken.
Manifold Pressure Measurement
1 - Remove the threaded plug from the outlet side of
the gas valve and install a eld-provided barbed
tting. Connect to a manometer to measure manifold
pressure.
2 - Start unit and allow 5 minutes for unit to reach
steady state.
3 - While waiting for the unit to stabilize, observe the
ame. Flame should be stable and should not lift
from burner. Natural gas should burn blue.
4 - After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record
manifold pressure and compare to value given in
table 10.
5 - Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an
accurate reading has been obtained. Take care to
replace pressure tap plug.
6 - Start unit and perform leak check. Seal leaks if
found.
Proper Cumbustion
Furnace should operate a minimum 15 minutes with cor-
rect manifold pressure and gas ow rate before checking
combustion. Take combustion sample beyond the ue out-
let and compare to the tables below. The maximum car-
bon monoxide reading should not exceed 100 ppm.

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 10
for manifold pressure and table 11 for pressure switch
change and gas conversion kits.
WARNING
For safety, shut unit off and remove manometer as
soon as an accurate reading has been obtained. Take
care to replace pressure tap plug.
