G24M SERIES UNITS
G24M series units are mid-efficiency gas furnaces manufactured with tubular steel heat exchangers formed of aluminized steel. G24M units are available in heating capacities of 45,000 to 140,000 Btuh and cooling applications up to 5 tons. Refer to Engineering Handbook for proper sizing. Units are factory equipped for use with natural gas. A kit is available for conversion to LPG operation. Early model G24M units use electronic (direct spark) ignition. Late model G24M model units feature the Lennox SureLightT silicon-nitride ignition system. The G24MX unit meets the California Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Standards and California Seasonal Efficiency requirements. All units use a redundant gas valve to assure safety shut-off as required by A.G.A. or C.G.A. Units may be installed in upflow, downflow or horizontal position. The heat exchanger is designed for upright or horizontal use only. When the unit is installed in the downflow position, the heat exchanger is field removed and reinstalled so it is upright when the cabinet 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 simply disconnecting gas, unplugging wiring harness and spark wires and removing four screws holding the heat exchanger in place. Then the heat exchanger slides out of the cabinet.

I-UNIT COMPONENTS (Figures 1, 2, 3)
G24M unit components are shown in figure 1. The blower controls, gas valve and burners can be accessed by re moving the front access panel. A separate blower access door is located behind the front access panel. Electrical control components are mounted to the blower access door. G24M units are factory equipped with bottom return air panels in place. The panels are designed to be field removed as re quired for bottom air return. Indentations on side of units, show where side return opening should be cut during installa tion.
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.
3- SureLight Ignition System (A3) Late Model G24M Units
Late model G24M units are equipped with the Lennox SureLight ignition system. The system consists of ignitor (figure 5) and ignition control board (figure 6 with control terminal designations in table 1). The board and ignitor work in combination to ensure furnace ignition and ignitor durability. The SureLight integrated board controls all major furnace operations. The board also features two LED lights for troubleshooting and two accessory termi nals rated at (4) four amps. See table 2 for troubleshoot ing diagnostic codes. Table 3 and 4 show jack plug termi nal designations. Units equipped with the SureLight board can be used with either electronic or electro-me chanical thermostats without modification. The Sur eLight ignitor is made of durable silicon-nitride. Ignitor longevity is also enhanced by voltage ramping by the control board. The board finds the lowest ignitor tempera ture which will successfully light the burner, thus increas ing the life of the ignitor. a-flame sensor The flame sensor uses flame rectification to sense com bustion. During operation, flame is sensed by current passed through the flame and sensing electrode. Figure 7 shows the gap between tip of the electrode and the burner surface.
A-Blower Door Components (Figure 4)
Electrical burner control and blower control components are located on the outside surface of the blower access door. Jackplugs allow the blower door to be easily re moved for blower service. Located on the blower door are the unit transformer (T1), the furnace control (A3) and door interlock switch (S51). Furnace control (A3) combines the function of a burner ignition control and blower control.
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 30VA with a 120V primary and a 24V sec ondary.
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.

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. G24M units with 63K89, 24L85 or 56L83: the ignitor stays energized the first second of the 4 second trial. G24M units with board 97L48: ignitor stays energized during the 4-second trial until flame is sensed. If ignition is not proved during the 4-second period, the control will try four more times with an inter purge and warm-up time between trials of 35 seconds. After a total of five trials for ignition (including the initial trial), the control goes into Watchguard-Flame Failure mode. After a 60-minute reset period, the control will begin the ignition sequence again. The SureLight control board has an added feature that prolongs the life of the ignitor. After a successful ignition, the SureLight control utilizes less power to energize 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. c-Fan Time Control The fan on time of 45 seconds is not adjustable. Fan off time (time that the blower operates after the heat demand 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 adjustable to satisfy individual applications. See figure 8. NOTE--If fan "off" time is set too low, residual heat in heat exchanger may cause primary limit S10 to trip resulting in frequent cycling of blower. If this occurs, adjust blower to longer time setting. FAN-OFF TIME ADJUSTMENT

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) Precautions and Procedures
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components. Take precautions during furnace installation and service to protect the furnace's electronic controls. Precautions will help to avoid control exposure to electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace, the control and the technician at the same electrostatic potential. Neutralize 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. b-Electronic Ignition On a call for heat the SureLight control monitors the combustion air inducer prove switch. The control will not begin the heating cycle if the prove switch is closed (by-passed). Once the prove switch is determined to be open, the combustion air inducer is energized. When the differential in the prove switch is great enough, the prove switch closes and a 15-second pre-purge begins. If the prove switch is
To adjust fan-off timing, flip dip switch to desired setting.

4-- Ram Control (A3) Early Model G24M Units
The furnace control combines burner ignition functions with blower control functions. Early model G24M units utilize a furnace control
Ignition Control The ignition control is a direct spark ignition control module integral to the furnace control. See figure 9. When there is a call for heat, the control delays ignition until combustion air blower operation has been proved and pre-purge period has elapsed. It then opens the gas valve and generates a spark to ignite the burners. Trial for ignition lasts for 7 seconds. At the same time, the control begins monitoring the flame sensor. If the flame current is too weak (less than 1 microamp) or if the burners do not ignite (within the 7 second ignition trial), the control will shut off the spark ignitor and the combustion air blower and de-energize the gas valve. Flame current should be between 1 and 5 microamps to keep the gas valve open. See figure 21. The control will attempt to ignite the burners up to two more times. Each time the control restarts the ignition sequence, it begins with a 45 second pre-purge. If flame is not sensed after the third trial, the control locks out. Lockout means that the control shuts off the gas valve, spark and combustion air blower for 60 minutes. At the end of 60 minutes the control completely resets and will attempt ignition up to three times. The control can be manually reset before the end of 60 minutes by momentarily turning off power to the unit.
manufactured by RAM Electronics Corporation. The RAM board is a printed circuit board which controls the blower, gas valve, combustion air blower and ignition spark. It also monitors the flame, limit and gas valve operation. The control has a non-adjustable, factory preset on fan timing (45 seconds). Fan off timings are adjustable. The board utilizes both 120 and 24VAC. See figure 9. The board is also equipped with a diagnostic LED for use when troubleshooting the unit. When the furnace is idle (blower off and no heating or cooling demand), the diagnostic LED flashes at a slow steady rate. On a call for heat, the diagnostic LED begins flashing at a fast rate and the combustion air blower is energized. The LED flashes different codes to indicate problem conditions. The diagnostic LED lights red (not flashing) to indicate control board failure. Table 7 shows how to interpret the other LED modes. Pre-Purge On a call for heat, the combustion air blower begins operating. If the combustion air prove switch closes, the combustion air blower continues to operate for 45 seconds (pre-purge) before allowing ignition. Prepurge allows the heat exchanger to be cleared of combustion products and to introduce fresh air for combustion. If the combustion air prove switch does not close, the combustion air blower continues to run indefinitely (until the prove switch closes). Post-Purge After a demand, the combustion air blower continues to operate for 5 seconds (post-purge) before stopping. Post-purge allows the heat exchanger to be cleared of combustion products.
DANGER
Shock hazard. Spark related components contain high voltage. 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.

C--Combustion Air Blower (B6)
All G24M units use a combustion air blower to move air through the burners and heat exchanger during heating operation. Some early model G24M units are equipped with a blower that uses a PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) 120VAC motor. PSC motors use run capacitors. Other early and late model G24M units are equipped with a blower that uses a shaded pole 120V motor. The motor operates during all heating operation and is controlled by furnace control A3. For G24M units equipped with the Ram ignition system, the blower will operate for 45 seconds before burner ignition (pre-purge) and for 5 seconds after the gas valve closes (post-purge). For G24M units equipped with the SureLight ignition system, the blower will operate for 15 seconds before burner ignition (pre purge) and for 5 seconds after the the gas valve closes (post purge). A pressure switch connected to the combustion air blower housing is used to prove combustion air blower operation. The switch monitors air pressure in the blower housing. During normal operation, the pressure in the housing is negative. If pressure becomes less negative (signifying an obstruction) the pressure switch opens. When the pressure switch opens, the furnace control (A3) immediately closes the gas valve to prevent burner operation.
E--Primary Limit Control (S10)
LIMIT CONTROL FOR G24M SERIES UNITS
THIS TYPE AUTO-RESET LIMIT IS USED FOR THE PRIMARY LIMIT (S10) AND RIGHT SECONDARY LIMIT (S21) (see FIGURE 11)
FIGURE 13 The primary limit (S10) on G24M units is located in the middle of the heating vestibule panel. When excess heat is sensed in the heat exchanger, the limit will open. If the limit is tripped, 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 is factory set and cannot be adjusted. The switch may have different setpoints for each unit model number. However, the setpoint will be printed on the side of the limit.
F--Secondary Limit Controls (S21)
The secondary limit (S21) on G24M units is located in the blower compartment in the back side of the blower housing. When excess heat is sensed in the blower compartment, the limit will open. If the limit is tripped, 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 is factory set and cannot be adjusted. Two limits are supplied in each furnace and each limit is a different style (figures 13 and 14). The setpoint will be printed on the side of the limit. If stick limit (figure 14) suffers from nuisance trips anf the furnace is in the horizontal position, replace with limit kit no. 50L98. SECONDARY LIMIT CONTROL (S21) FOR G24M SERIES UNITS
D--Flame Rollout Switches (S47)
Flame rollout switch is a high temperature limit located on top of the burner box. 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 limit is a N.C. SPST manual-reset limit connected in series with the ignition control A3. When S47 senses rollout, the ignition control immediately stops ignition and
INSULATING COVER
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 blocked flue or lack of combustion air. The switch is factory set and cannot be adjusted. The setpoint will be printed on the side of the limit. The switch can be manually reset. To manually reset a tripped switch, push the reset button located on the control. ROLLOUT SWITCH (S47)

G--Spark Electrode and Flame Sensor Early Model G24M Units
Figure 15 shows the arrangement of flame sensor, spark electrode and burners. The ignition control uses direct spark to ignite the rightmost burner and the burners cross-light to the left. The flame sensor uses flame rectification to sense combustion. 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. Figure 16 shows the gap between tip of the electrodes and the burner surface.

Adjust thermostat to a setting above room temperature. 5 - If unit does not light the first time, the SureLight control will attempt four more ignitions, the Ram control will attempt two more ignitions before locking out. 6 - If lockout occurs, repeat steps 1, 2, 3 and 4. -
On start-up, the switch senses that the combustion air blower is operating. It closes a circuit to the furnace control when pressure inside the combustion air blower increases above switch setting (negative) w.c. The pressure sensed by the switch is relative to atmospheric pressure. If the flue becomes obstructed during operation, the switch senses a loss of negative pressure (pressure becomes more equal with atmospheric pressure) and opens the circuit to the furnace control and gas valve. The switch trip pressure is different depending on unit model number. The trip pressure is printed on the side of the limit. The switch is factory set and is not field adjustable. It is a safety shut-down control in the furnace and must not be bypassed for any reason.
C--Safety or Emergency Shutdown
Turn off unit power. Close manual and main gas valves.
IMPORTANT
In case emergency shutdown is required, turn off the main shut-off valve and disconnect the main power to unit. These controls should be properly labeled by the installer.
II--PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
Make sure unit is installed in accordance with installation instructions and applicable codes.
D--Extended Period Shutdown
Turn off thermostat or set to UNOCCUPIED mode. Close all gas valves (both internal and external to unit) to guarantee no gas leak into combustion chamber. Turn off power to unit. All access panels, covers and vent caps must be in place and secured.

underfire. High pressure can result in permanent damage to gas valve or overfire. For natural gas units, operating pressure at unit gas connection must be between 5.0 W.C. and 13.0 W.C. For L.P gas units, . operating pressure at unit gas connection must be between 10.0 W.C. and 13.0 W.C. On multiple unit installations, each unit should be checked separately, with and without other units operating. Supply pressure must fall within range listed in previous paragraph.
B--Gas Piping
Gas supply piping should not allow more than 0.5W.C. drop in pressure between gas meter and unit. Supply gas pipe must not be smaller than unit gas connection. Compounds used on gas piping threaded joints
E--Check Manifold Pressure
After line pressure has been checked and adjusted, check manifold pressure. Move pressure gauge to outlet pressure tap located on unit gas valve (GV1). Checks of manifold pressure are made as verification of proper regulator adjustment. Manifold pressure for the G24M can be measured at any time the gas valve is open and is supplying gas to the unit. Normal manifold pressure for natural gas units is 3.5 in. w.c. For LP/propane gas the correct manifold pressure is 9.5 in. w.c.

C--Testing Gas Piping
When pressure testing gas lines, the gas valve must be disconnected and isolated. Gas valves can be damaged if subjected to more than 0.5psig (14 W.C.). See figure 20. If the pressure is equal to or less than 0.5psig (14W.C.), use the manual shut-off valve before pressure testing to isolate furnace from gas supply.
GAS PIPING TEST PROCEDURE
MANUAL MAIN SHUT-OFF VALVE WILL NOT HOLD TEST PRESSURE IN EXCESS OF 0.5 PSIG (14W.C.)

H-Flame Signal
A microamp DC meter is needed to check the flame signal on the primary ignition control. Flame (microamp) signal is an electrical current which passes from the furnace control through the sensor elec trode during unit operation. Current passes from the sen sor through the flame to ground to complete a safety cir cuit. To Measure Flame Signal: 1 - Place meter in series between furnace control and sensor wire. Connect the positive (+) lead of meter to the ignition control sensor connection and the nega tive (-) lead of the meter to the sensor wire. See figure 21. 2 - Set thermostat for a heating demand and check flame signal with unit operating. For G24M series with a RAM control, a reading of 1 to 5 microamps DC should occur. The furnace control must see at least 1.0 microamps in order to keep the gas valve energized. G24M units with the SureLight control should read 0.7 microamps or more.
G24M-1 through -9 Models This unit does not require gas pressure adjustment, or pressure switch change when operating at elevations of 0 to 7500 ft. (0 to 2248m). Check gas line pressure with unit firing. The minimum pressure as shown on the nameplate for natural and propane gases must be maintained. No ori fice change is required. NOTE-This is the only permissible field derate for this appliance. G24M-10 and -11 Models Table 11 shows manifold pressure settings for installations at different altitudes. Refer to table 12 for pressure switch replacement for models at elevations of 4500 feet (1372m) and greater.
