Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be
performed by a licensed professional HVAC installer or
equivalent, or service agency.
IMPORTANT
The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting of
refrigerant (CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs) as of July 1, 1992.
Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming
must be followed. Fines and/or incarceration may be
levied for noncompliance.

Line Set
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and suction lines
connecting the condensing unit and the indoor unit. Liquid
and suction service valves are located in a compartment
at the corner of the unit below the control box.
Piping can be routed directly from the service valves or
eld supplied elbows can be added to divert the piping as
required.
Refer to table 1 for eld-fabricated refrigerant line sizes for
runs up to 50 linear feet (15 m).

ELS units have a factory holding charge of 2 pounds of
HFC-410A in each circuit. Additional refrigerant will need
to be added during installation (table 2).

If line set length is greater than 25 feet, add this amount
for 25ft
line set
to each circuit. If line set is less than 25 feet, subtract this
amount from each circuit. Refer to Lennox Refrigerant
Piping Design and Fabrication Guidelines for more information.
NOTE - Refrigerant line sets longer than 200 feet (60 me-
ters) are not recommended. For assistance contact Lennox Application Department.
To charge the system, use either of the following procedures:
CHARGE PROCEDURE – NORMAL OPERATING
PRESSURES
1 - Connect a manifold gauge set to the service valves:
A - Low pressure gauge to vapor service port.
B - High pressure gauge to liquid valve service port
2 - Operate system until pressures and temperatures
stabilize (5 minutes minimum).
3 - Use a thermometer to measure the outdoor
ambient temperature. The outdoor temperature will
determine which charging procedure to use.
1 - Apply the outdoor ambient temperature to table
4 or 5 to determine normal operating pressures.
Compare the normal operating pressures to the
pressures obtained from the connected gauges.
If discharge pressure is high, remove refrigerant
from the system. If discharge pressure is low, add
refrigerant to the system.
A - Add or remove charge in increments.
B - Allow the system to stabilize at least 5 minutes each
time refrigerant is added or removed
2 - Minor variations in these pressures may be
expected due to differences in installations.
Signicant differences could mean that the system
is not properly charged or that a problem exists with
some component in the system.

FIGURE 10. Blocking Outdoor Coil
Outdoor Temp < 65ºF (18ºC)
1 - When the outdoor ambient temperature is below
65F (18C) it may be necessary to restrict the air ow
through the outdoor coil to achieve liquid pressures
in the 325-375 psig (2240-2585 kPa) range. These
higher pressures are necessary for checking the
charge. Block equal sections of the outdoor coil on
all coil sides until the liquid pressure is in the 325-
375 psig range (gure 11).
2 - Charge the unit using the approach method in the
next section.
CHARGE PROCEDURE – APPROACH METHOD
Use the following approach method along with the normal
operating pressures to conrm readings.
1 - Using the same thermometer, compare liquid
temperature at service valve to outdoor ambient
temperature.
Approach Temperature = Liquid temperature minus
ambient temperature
2 - Approach temperature should be as indicated in
table 3 for each stage. An approach temperature
greater than this value indicates an undercharge.
An approach temperature less than this value
indicates an overcharge.
A - Add or remove charge in increments.
B - Allow system to stabilize at least 5 minutes each
time refrigerant is added or removed.
3 - Do not use the approach method if system pressures
do not match pressures in table 4 except when the
outdoor ambient temperature is below 65ºF (18ºC).
The approach method is not valid for grossly over or
undercharged systems.
The outdoor unit and indoor blower cycle on demand from
the room thermostat. When the thermostat blower switch
is in the ON position, the indoor blower operates continuously.
HIGH PRESSURE SWITCHES (S4 AND S7)
These units are equipped with a manual reset high pressure switch (single-pole, single-throw) which is located on
the discharge line. The switch shuts off the compressor
when discharge pressure rises above the factory setting.
High Pressure (auto reset) – trip at 640 psig; reset at 512
psig.
LOSS OF CHARGE SWITCHES (S24 AND S25)
These units are equipped with a loss-of-charge switch that
is located in the liquid line. The switch is a SPST, auto-reset switch that is normally closed. The switch opens at 40
psi and closes at 90 psi.
Maintenance
At the beginning of each cooling season, the system
should be checked as follows:
OUTDOOR UNIT
1 - Clean and inspect the condenser coil. You can ush
the coil with a water hose.
2 - The outdoor fan motor is prelubricated and sealed.
No further lubrication is necessary.
3 - Visually inspect connecting lines and coils for
evidence of oil leaks.
4 - Check wiring for loose connections.
5 - Check for correct voltage at the unit while the unit is
operating and while it is off.
6 - Check amp-draw of the outdoor fan motor.
Unit nameplate _________ Actual ____________
7 - Check amp-draw of the compressor.

NOTE – If the owner complains of insufcient cooling,
gauge the unit and check the refrigerant charge. Refer to
section on refrigerant charging in this instruction.
INDOOR COIL
1 - If necessary, clean the coil.
2 - Check connecting lines and coils for evidence of oil
leaks.
3 - If necessary, check the condensate line and clean it.
INDOOR UNIT
1 - Clean or change lters.
2 - Adjust the blower speed for cooling. Measure the
pressure drop over the coil to determine the correct
blower CFM. Refer to the unit information service
manual for pressure drop tables and procedure.
3 - On belt drive blowers, check the belt for wear and
proper tension.
4 - Check all wiring for loose connections.
5 - Check for correct voltage at the unit (blower
operating).
6 - Check amp-draw on blower motor.
