G27M SERIES UNITS
G27M series units are mid-efficiency gas furnaces
manufactured with tubular aluminized steel heat ex
changers. G27M units are available in heating capaci
ties of 60,000 to 120,000 Btuh (17.6 to 35.2 kW) and cool
ing applications from 1.5 through 5 tons (3.5 through
17.6 kW). Refer to Engineering Handbook for proper siz
ing.
Units are factory equipped for use with natural gas only.
LP kits are not available. All G27M units feature the Len
nox SureLighthot surface ignition system. The
G27MX units meet the California Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
Standards and California Seasonal Efficiency require
ments. All units use a two-stage gas valve along with a
two-stage induced draft blower assembly. The gas
valve is redundant to assure safety shut-off as required
by A.G.A. and C.G.A.
Units may be installed in upflow, downflow or horizon
tal position. The heat exchanger is designed for upright
or horizontal use only. When the unit is installed in the
downflow position, the heat exchanger must be field
removed and reinstalled so it is upright when the cabi
net is inverted. No field conversion is required when
the unit is installed in the horizontal position.
The heat exchanger, burners and manifold assembly
can easily be removed for inspection and service by sim
ply disconnecting gas, unplugging wiring harnesses
and removing four screws holding the heat exchanger in
place. The heat exchanger slides out of the cabinet.
Information contained in this manual is intended for use
by qualified service technicians only. All specifications
are subject to change. Procedures outlined in this manu
al are presented as a recommendation only and do not

I–UNIT COMPONENTS (Figure 1)
G27M unit components are shown in figure 1. The
blower controls, gas valve and burners can be accessed
by removing the front access panel. A separate blower
access door is located behind the front access panel.
Electrical control components are mounted on the
blower access door. Units are factory–equipped with
bottom return air panels
A–Blower Door Components
The SureLight integrated ignition and blower control is lo-
cated on the outside surface of the blower access door
along with the unit transformer (T1), the two–stage con-
trol and a door interlock switch (S51). Jackplugs allow the
blower door to be removed for blower service.
1– Control Transformer (T1)
A transformer located on the blower door provides power
to the low voltage section of the unit. Transformers on all
models are rated 40VA with a 120V primary and a 24V
secondary. The transformer is protected by a 3.0 amp
circuit breaker.
2–Door Interlock Switch (S51)
A door interlock switch rated 16A at 125VAC is located
on the blower access door. The switch is wired in series
with line voltage. When the blower door is removed the
unit will shut down.
3– SureLight Ignition System (A3)
All G27M units are equipped with the Lennox Sure –
Light ignition system. The system consists of an igni-
tion control board (figure 2) and ignitor (figure 3). The
board and ignitor work in combination to ensure fur-
nace ignition and ignitor durability. The SureLight in-
tegrated board controls all major furnace operations.
The board also features two LED lights for trouble-
shooting and two accessory terminals. See table 1 for
troubleshooting diagnostic codes. Table 2 and 3 show
jack plug terminal designations. Units equipped with
the SureLight board can be used with either electronic
or electro–mechanical thermostats without modifica-
tion. The SureLight ignitor is made of durable silicon–
nitrite. Ignitor longevity is also enhanced by voltage
ramping by the control board. The board finds the low-
est ignitor temperature which will successfully light
the burner, thus increasing the life of the ignitor.
DANGER
Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before servicing. Control is not
field repairable. If control is inoperable, simply
replace entire control.
Can cause injury or death. Unsafe operation will
result if repair is attempted.

NOTE - The G27M furnace contains electronic compo
nents that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the fur
nace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic com
ponents. Take precautions during furnace instal
lation and service to protect the furnace's elec
tronic controls. Precautions will help to avoid
control exposure to electrostatic discharge by
putting the furnace, the control and the techni
cian at the same electrostatic potential. Neutral
ize electrostatic charge by touching hand and all
tools on an unpainted unit surface, such as the
gas valve or blower deck, before performing any
service procedure.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
a-Electronic Ignition
On a call for heat the SureLight control monitors the
combustion air blower pressure switch. The control
will not begin the heating cycle if the pressure switch is
closed (by-passed). Once the pressure switch is deter
mined to be open, the combustion air blower is ener
gized. When the differential in the pressure switch is
great enough, the pressure switch closes and a 15-se
cond pre-purge begins. If the pressure switch is not
proven within 2-1/2 minutes, the control goes into
Watchguard-Pressure Switch mode for a 5-minute re-
set period.
After the 15-second pre-purge period, the SureLight
ignitor warms up for 20 seconds after which the gas
valve opens for a 4-second trial for ignition. The ignitor
stays energized for the first second of the 4-second
trial. If ignition is not proved during the 4-second peri
od, the control will try four more times. After a total of
five trials for ignition (including the initial trial), the con
trol goes into Watchguard-Flame Failure mode. After a
60-minute reset period, the control will begin the igni
tion sequence again.
The SureLight control board has an added feature that
prolongs the life of the ignitor. After a successful igni
tion, the SureLight control utilizes less power to ener
gize the ignitor on successive calls for heat. The control
continues to ramp down the voltage to the ignitor until
it finds the lowest amount of power that will provide a
successful ignition. This amount of power is used for
255 cycles. On the 256th call for heat, the control will
again ramp down until the lowest power is determined
and the cycle begins again.

The fan on time of 45 seconds is not adjustable. Fan off
time (time that the blower operates after the heat de-
mand has been satisfied) can be adjusted by flipping
the dip switches located on the SureLight integrated
control. The unit is shipped with a factory fan off setting
of 90 seconds. Fan off time will affect comfort and is ad-
justable to satisfy individual applications. See figure 4.

4-- Two--Stage Control (A86)
All G27M units are equipped with a two--stage control
board. The two--stage board acts as a go between from
the indoor thermostat to the SureLight ignition board.
The board can be utilized in three modes: with a
SINGLE--STAGE thermostat, a TWO--STAGE thermo-
stat or with a second--stage (high fire) delay called W2
TIMED. The two--stage board is equipped with a jumper
(see figure 5) which changes operating modes and a
jumper which adjusts second--stage heat delay during
W2 TIMED mode. While in the single--stage thermostat
mode, the unit will always operate on second--stage
heat. The combustion air blower (B6) will operate on
high speed and indoor blower (B3) will operate on heat-
ing speed. While in the two--stage thermostat mode the
unit will operate on first--stage heat (low fire). The com-
bustion air blower (B6) and indoor blower will operate
on low speed. The unit will switch to second--stage heat
(high fire) on call from the indoor thermostat W2. While
in the W2 TIMED mode the unit will fire on first--stage
heat (low fire) with the combustion air blower (B6) and

Page 7
indoor blower (B3) operating on low speed. After a set
time delay the unit switches to second–stage heat (high
fire). The combustion air blower and indoor blower
also switch to second–stage heat mode.

Secondary Limit Switches
[(1)S21 and (2)S21]
The secondary limit switches [(1)S21 and (2)S21] on
G27M units are located in the blower compartment on
the back side of the blower housing (see figure 6). When
excess heat is sensed in the blower compartment, the
limit will open. If the limit is tripped, the SureLight control
energizes the supply air blower and closes the gas valve.
The limit automatically resets when unit temperature
returns to normal. Two limits are supplied in each fur-
nace. Figure 7 shows both switches. Both switches are
N.C. SPST auto-reset switches which actuate on a tem-
perature rise. The switches are factory set and cannot be
adjusted. The (1)S21 limit shown on the top opens at
140_F + 5_F (60.0_C + 2.8_C) on a temperature rise and
closes at 110_F + 10_F (43.3_C + 5.6_C). The (2)S21 limit
shown on the bottom opens at 165_F + 5_F (73.9_C +
2.8_C) on a temperature rise and closes at 135_F + 8_F
(57.2_C + 4.4_C).

C–Heating Components (Figures 8 and 9 )
Heating components are located inside the front louvered
panel. Inside the heating compartment are the combus-
tion air blower (B6), flame rollout switches (S47), primary
limit control (S10), ignitor, flame sensor, gas valve (GV1),
and the combustion air blower prove switches (S18 and
S102).
1–Combustion Air Blower (B6)
All G27M units use a two–stage combustion air blower to
move air through the burners and heat exchanger during
heating operation. The blower uses a 120VAC motor. The
motor operates during all heating operation and is con-
trolled by the SureLight integrated control A3. The blower
operates for 15 seconds before burner ignition (pre-
purge) and for 5 seconds after the gas valve closes (post-
purge). The combustion air blower operates on low speed
during first–stage heat (low fire), then switches to high
speed for second–stage heat (high fire).
2–Flame Rollout Switches (S47)
Flame rollout switch is a high temperature limit switch
located on top of the burner box (see figure 11). Each
furnace is equipped with two identical switches. One
switch is located over the leftmost burner and the other
switch is located over the rightmost burner. The switch is
a N.C. SPST manual-reset switch which opens at 260_F +
12_F (126.7_C + 6.7_C) on a temperature rise. The switch
is factory set and cannot be adjusted. To manually reset
a tripped switch, push the reset button located on the
control. The switches are connected in series and moni-
tored by the SureLight control A3. When S47 senses
rollout, the control immediately stops ignition and
closes the gas valve. If unit is running and flame rollout
is detected, the gas valve will close and ignition control
will be disabled. Rollout can be caused by a restricted
heat exchanger or a blocked flue.

3–Primary Limit Control (S10)
The primary limit (S10) is located in the middle of the
heating vestibule panel (see figure 9). S10 is the same
type of limit as (1) S21 or (2) S21 as shown in figure 7.
G27M–60 and –75 units use the same type limit as (1) S21.
G27M–100 and –120 units use the same type limit as (2)
S21. When excess heat is sensed in the heat exchanger,
the limit will open. If the limit is tripped, the SureLight
control energizes the supply air blower and closes the
gas valve. The limit automatically resets when unit
temperature returns to normal. The switch is factory set
and cannot be adjusted. The switch has different set-
points for each unit model number. However, the set
point will be printed on the side of the limit.
4–Gas Valve (GV1)
The G27M uses a gas valve manufactured by White
Rodgers. The valve is a two-stage internally redundant
to assure safety shut–off. If the gas valve must be re-
placed, the same type valve must be used.
24VAC terminals and gas control knob are located on top
of the valve. All terminals on the gas valve are connected
to wires from the SureLight integrated control. 24V ap-
plied to the terminals energizes the valve.
Inlet and outlet pressure taps are located on the valve. A
regulator adjustment screw is located on the side of the
valve. Refer to figure 11 for location of valve features.
NOTE–Do not attempt to regulate low fire manifold
pressure.

5–SureLight Ignitor
Figure 12 and 14 shows the position of the SureLight
hot surface ignitor in perspective with the rest of the
burner assembly. The hot surface ignitor lights the two
rightmost burners and the burners cross-light to the left. A
flame retention ring in the end of each burner is used to
maintain correct flame length and shape and to keep the
flame from lifting off the burner head. The hot surface
ignitor is rated at 1800_F (982_C) in 17 seconds with a
120VAC 4 amp power source.

Figure 14 shows the position of the flame sensor in per-
spective with the rest of the burner assembly. The
flame sensor uses flame rectification to sense com-
bustion. Figure 13 shows the gap between tip of the
electrode and the burner surface.
