H−Flame Signal
A microamp DC meter is needed to check the flame signal
on the ignition control.
Flame (microamp) signal is an electrical current which passes
from the furnace control through the sensor during unit opera-
tion. Current passes from the sensor through the flame to
ground to complete a safety circuit.
To Measure Flame Signal − Ignition Control:
A transducer (Part
#78H5401 available from
Lennox Repair Parts) is
required to measure flame
signal if meter used will not
read a low micro amp sig-
nal. Seefigure13. The
transducer converts mi-
croamps to volts on a 1:1 conversion. Flame signal for the
SureLight control should read
0.23 or greater
microamps with
a lockout signal of
0.16
microamps. A digital readout meter
must be used. The transducer plugs into most meters.
See figure 14 for proper use of transducer.
1 − Set the volt meter to the DC voltage scale. Insert
transducer into the VDC and common inputs. Ob-
serve correct polarities. Failure to do so results in
negative (−) values.
2 − Turn off supply voltage to control.
3 − Disconnect ignition control flame sensor wire from the
flame sensor.
4 − Connect (−) lead of the transducer to flame sensor.
5 − Connect (+) lead of transducer to the ignition control sen-
sor wire.
6 − Turn supply voltage on and close thermostat contacts to
cycle system.
7 − When main burners are in operation for two minutes, take
reading. Remember 1 DC volt = 1 DC microamp.

V−TYPICAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
A−Blower Operation and Adjustment
1 − Blower operation is dependent on thermostat control
system.
2 − Generally, blower operation is set at thermostat sub-
base fan switch. With fan switch in ON position, blower
operates continuously. With fan switch in AUTO position,
blower cycles with demand or runs continuously while
heating or cooling circuit cycles.
3 − Depending on the type of indoor thermostat, blower
and entire unit will be off when the system switch is in
OFF position.
B−Temperature Rise
Temperature rise for G60UH(X) units depends on unit in-
put, blower speed, blower horsepower and static pressure
as marked on the unit rating plate. The blower speed must
be set for unit operation within the range of TEMP. RISE
°
F" listed on the unit rating plate.
To Measure Temperature Rise:
1 − Place plenum thermometers in the supply and return air
plenums. Locate supply air thermometer in the first hori-
zontal run of the plenum where it will not pick up radiant
heat from the heat exchanger.
2 − Set thermostat to highest setting.
3 − After plenum thermometers have reached their high-
est and steadiest readings, subtract the two readings.
The difference should be in the range listed on the unit
rating plate. If the temperature is too low, decrease
blower speed. If temperature is too high, first check the
firing rate. Provided the firing rate is acceptable, in-
crease blower speed to reduce temperature. To
change blower speed taps see the Blower Speed Taps
section in this manual.
C−External Static Pressure
1 − Tap locations shown in figure 15.
2 − Punch a 1/4" diameter hole
in supply and return air ple-
nums. Insert manometer
hose flush with inside edge
of hole or insulation. Seal
around the hose with perma-
gum. Connect the zero end
of the manometer to the dis-
charge (supply) side of the system. On ducted sys-
tems, connect the other end of manometer to the return
duct as above. For systems with non−ducted returns,
leave the other end of the manometer open to the at-
mosphere.
3 − With only the blower motor running and the evaporator
coil dry, observe the manometer reading. Adjust blow-
er motor speed to deliver the air desired according to
the job requirements.
4 − External static pressure drop must not be more than
0.5" W.C.
5 − Seal around the hole when the check is complete.
