HEATING SYSTEM
Lennox Duralok™ Heat Exchanger Assembly
Heavy gauge aluminized steel heat exchanger.
Crimped seam clamshell type design.
Designed for normal expansion and contraction.
Minimum resistance to
air ow.
Heat exchanger has
been laboratory life
cycle tested in excess of
industry standards.
Compact size of heat
exchanger permits low
overall design of furnace
cabinet.
Inshot Burners
Aluminized steel inshot burners provide efcient,
trouble-free operation.
Burner venturi mixes air and gas in correct proportion
for proper combustion.
Burner assembly is removable from the unit as a single
component for ease of service.
SureLight® Hot Surface Ignitor
Tough, reliable, long-life, trouble-free performance.
Silicon nitride ignitor.
Cemented to steatite block for protection against current
leakage.
Ignition leads are constructed of nickel plated copper
and are enclosed in high temperature Teon® insulation
for dependable operation.
Gas Control Valve
24 volt redundant combination gas control valve
combines manual shut off switch (On-Off), automatic
electric valve (dual) and gas pressure regulation into a
compact combination control.
Combustion Air Inducer
Shaded pole heavy duty blower prepurges heat
exchanger and safely vents ue products.
Pressure switch proves blower operation before
allowing gas valve to open.
Operates only during heating cycle.
Direct access allows inducer assembly to be rotated
90° clockwise or counterclockwise to facilitate easy vent
attachment from either side of the cabinet in upow
applications and from the top in horizontal applications.

CONTROLS
SureLight® Integrated Furnace Control
Control contains all necessary controls and relays to
operate furnace.
Combustion air inducer is operated by the integrated
furnace control. Prior to ignition, a pre-purge cycle
for 15 seconds is initiated. After the main burners are
turned off, a post-purge cycle for 5 seconds is run.
Flame sensor assures safe and reliable operation.
Should loss of ame occur the integrated furnace
control will initiate 4 re-attempts at ignition before
locking out unit operation for 60 minutes.
Watchguard type circuit automatically resets ignition
controls after one hour of continuous thermostat demand
after unit lockout, eliminating nuisance calls for service.
Fan control consists of adjustable blower timed-off delay
(60, 90, 120, 180 seconds - factory setting 90 seconds)
and xed blower timed-on delay (30 seconds - heating,
2 seconds - cooling).
For air-conditioning applications, blower is automatically
energized on thermostat demand for cooling. Control
has low speed continuous blower speed setting for
humidier or air cleaner operation.
Two accessory terminals furnished for additional
power supply requirements for 120 volt (less than 1
amp) power humidiers and powered air cleaners.
One additional terminal is furnished for power supply
requirements for 24V (less than 0.5 amp) low voltage
accessories.
Ignition control has single red LED to indicate status
and as an aid in troubleshooting.
Last ve codes are stored in non-volatile memory
(accessible by recall button on control) for servicing.
24 Volt Transformer
Furnished and factory installed on outside of control
box. 40VA transformer has fuse wired in series.
Field Wiring Make-up Box
Furnished for line voltage wiring.
Factory installed internally on left side of furnace.
