Gas Pressure Adjustment - Lennox ML193UH Installation Instructions Manual

4 - Move gas valve switch to OFF.
5 - Replace the upper access panel.
Failure To Operate
If the unit fails to operate, check the following:
1 - Is the thermostat calling for heat?
2 - Are access panels securely in place?
3 - Is the main disconnect switch closed?
4 - Is there a blown fuse or tripped breaker?
5 - Is the filter dirty or plugged? Dirty or plugged filters
will cause the limit control to shut the unit off.
6 - Is gas turned on at the meter?
7 - Is the manual main shut-off valve open?
8 - Is the internal manual shut-off valve open?
9 - Is the unit ignition system in lockout? If the unit
locks out again, inspect the unit for blockages.
Heating Sequence Of Operation
1 - When thermostat calls for heat, combustion air
inducer 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, flame sensor proves the flame, and
the combustion process continues.
6 - If flame is not detected after first ignition trial,
the ignition control will repeat steps 3 and 4 four
more times before locking out the gas valve
("WATCHGUARD" flame failure mode). The ignition
control will then automatically repeat steps 1 through
6 after 60 minutes. 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 flow. 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
n table 10 below. If manifold pressure matches table 11
and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and
restriction. Remove temporary gas meter if installed.
NOTE - To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas
appliances connected to meter.
Supply Pressure Measurement
When testing supply gas pressure, use the 1/8" N.P.T.
plugged tap or pressure post located on the gas valve to
facilitate test gauge connection. See FIGURE 60. Check
gas line pressure with unit firing at maximum rate. Low
pressure may result in erratic operation or underfire. High
pressure can result in permanent damage to gas valve or
overfire.
On multiple unit installations, each unit should be checked
separately, with and without units operating. Supply pres-
sure must fall within range listed in table 11.
Manifold Pressure Measurement
1 - Remove the threaded plug from the outlet side of
the gas valve and install a field-provided barbed
fitting. 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
flame. 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 11.
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.
