C- Heating Components
1. Ignitor
The SureLight
®
 ignitor  is  made  of  durable  silicon  nitride. 
Ignitor longevity is enhanced by controlling voltage to the 
ignitor.  The  integrated  control  provides  a  regulated  120 
volts to the ignitor for a consistent ignition and long ignitor 
life. Ohm value should be 39 to 70. See FIGURE 14 for 
ignitor location and FIGURE 15 for ignitor check out.
NOTE - The  SL280DFV(X)  furnace  contains  electronic 
components that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the 
furnace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
2. Flame Sensor
A  ame  sensor  is  located  on  the  left  side  of  the  burner 
support. See FIGURE 14. The sensor is tip protrudes into 
the  ame  envelope  of  the  left-most  burner.  The  sensor 
can be removed for service without removing any part of 
the burners. During operation, ame is sensed by current 
passed  through  the  ame  and  sensing  electrode.  The 
SureLight control allows the gas valve to remain open as 
long as ame signal is sensed. To check ame sense sig-
nal  use  the  push-button  found  on  the  integrated  control 
and go to Field Test Mode. The menu will display the ame 
signal. See TABLE 15 for ame signal.

3. Gas Valve
The valve (FIGURE 17 or FIGURE 18) is internally redun-
dant  to  assure  safety  shut-o.  If  the  gas  valve  must  be 
replaced, the same type valve must be used.
24VAC terminals and gas control knob are located on the 
valve. A wire harness connects the terminals from the gas 
valve to the electronic ignition control. 24V applied to the 
terminals energizes the valve.
Inlet and outlet pressure taps are located on the valve. A 
regulator adjustment screw is located on the valve.
LPG change over kits are available from Lennox. Kits in-
clude burner orices and a gas valve.
4. Flame Rollout Switches (S47)
Flame rollout switch is a high temperature limit located on 
top  of  the  burner  box,  one  on  each  side.-  See  FIGURE 
14. The limit is a N.C. SPST manual-reset limit connected 
in series with the secondary limit S21. When S47 senses 
rollout, the circuit breaks and the ignition control immedi-
ately stops ignition and closes the gas valve. Rollout can 
be  caused  by  a  blocked  heat  exchanger,  ue  or  lack  of 
combustion air.The  switch is factory set to trip (open)  at 
210°F and cannot be adjusted. The switch can be manual-
ly reset. To manually reset a tripped switch, push the reset 
button located on the control.
5. Burners
All units use inshot burners. Burners are factory set and 
require  no  adjustment. Always  operate  the  unit  with  the 
burner  box  front  panel  in  place.  Each  burner  uses  an 
orice  (see  TABLE  20  for  orice  size)  that  is  precisely 
matched to the burner input. Burners can be removed as 
a one piece assembly for service. If burner assembly has 
been removed, it is critical to align center of each burner 
to the center of the clamshell when re-installing. See more 
detail in Section VI- MAINTENANCE sub-section A- Heat 
Exchanger and Burners.
6. Primary Limit Control (S10)
The primary limit (S10) is located in the heating vestibule 
panel. When excess heat is sensed in the heat exchanger, 
the limit will open. If the limit is open, the furnace control 
energizes the supply air blower and closes the gas valve. 
The limit automatically  resets  when  unit  temperature re-
turns to normal. The switch must  reset within  three min-
utes or the SureLight control will go into Watch guard for 
one hour. The switch is factory set and cannot be adjust-
ed. The switch may have a dierent set point for each unit 
model number. See Lennox Repair Parts Handbook if limit 
switch must be replaced,
7. Secondary Limit Controls (S21)
The  secondary  limit  (S21)  is  located  in  the  blower  com-
partment. See FIGURE 7. When excess heat is sensed in 
the blower compartment, the limit will open. If the limit is 
open, the furnace control energizes the supply air blower 
and  closes  the  gas  valve.  The  limit  automatically  resets 
when unit temperature returns to normal. The switch must 
reset within three minutes or the SureLight control will go 
into Watch guard for one hour. The switch  is  factory  set 
and cannot be adjusted.
