A while back we had a power outage, I thought no biggie get the generator's out to keep the furnace's, refrigerater's, ect running.
No problem with the house but the furnace in the shop for some reason won't run off a gen set.
It's a Lennox G51mp 135,000 btu 90% with electronic ignition.Installed new January 04 the LED diagnostic code is alternating fast flashes. The troubleshooting guide say's
1) Improper ground
2) Open ignitor circuit
3) Low line voltage
Called my installer he checked polarity then installed a 6' ground rod just for this unit still no go,unit runs fine on utility power.
my generator's are a Coleman 3200,Honda 3800X, and a Miller Big 20. Like I said the house run's fine same Lennox 110,000 btu but pre LED diagnostic installed September' 98.Checked voltage on all three generator's they check fine at 123 volt's.Both furnaces are set up on pigtail connections so I can just run extension cord's when occasions like this come up.Called Lennox was told to check the three items above.
Any ideas? thank's.
