Using Manifold Gauge Set
When checking the system charge, only use a manifold
gauge set that features low−loss anti−blow back fittings.
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
Physical contact with metal edges and corners while
applying excessive force or rapid motion can result in
personal injury. Be aware of, and use caution when
working near these areas during installation or while
servicing this equipment.
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.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard. Can cause injury
or death. Unit must be grounded in
accordance with national and local
codes.
Line voltage is present at all components
when unit is not in operation on units with
single-pole contactors. Disconnect all
remote electric power supplies before
opening access panel. Unit may have
multiple power supplies.
To prevent stripping of the various caps used, the
appropriately sized wrench should be used and fitted
snugly over the cap before tightening.
Manifold gauge set used with HFC−410A refrigerant
systems must be capable of handling higher system
operating pressures. The gauges should be rated for use
with pressures of 0 − 800 psig on the high side and a low
side of 30" vacuum to 250 psig with dampened speed to
500 psi. Gauge hoses must be rated for use at or up to 800
psig of pressure with a 4000 psig burst rating.

Operating Service Valves
The liquid and vapor line service valves are used for
removing refrigerant, flushing, leak testing, evacuating,
verifying charge and charging.
Each valve is equipped with a service port which has a
factory−installed valve stem. Figure 2 provides information
on how to access and operating both angle and ball service
valves.
IMPORTANT
This model is designed for use in check expansion valve
systems only. An indoor expansion valve approved for
use withHFC−410A refrigerant must be ordered
separately, and installed prior to operating the system.
Shipping and Packing List
Check unit for shipping damage. Consult last carrier
immediately if damage is found.
1 Assembled outdoor unit.
1 Bag assembly which includes the following:
506586−01 10/10
IMPORTANT
Only use Allen wrenches of sufficient hardness (50Rc −
Rockwell Harness Scale minimum). Fully insert the
wrench into the valve stem recess.
Service valve stems are factory−torqued (from 9 ft−lbs for
small valves, to 25 ft−lbs for large valves) to prevent
refrigerant loss during shipping and handling. Using an
Allen wrench rated at less than 50Rc risks rounding or
breaking off the wrench, or stripping the valve stem
recess.

below:
IMPORTANT Some system configurations may contain higher than normal refrigerant charge due to either large internal coil volumes, and/or
long line sets.
CLEAN RECOVERY
CYLINDER
OUTDOOR UNIT
METHOD 1:
Us this method if the existing outdoor unit is not equipped with shut−off valves, or if the unit is not operational and you plan to use the existing
HCFC−22 to flush the system.
Remove all HCFC−22 refrigerant from the existing system. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that the entire system is completely void of
refrigerant.
METHOD 2:
Use this method if the existing outdoor unit is equipped with manual shut−off valves, and you plan to use new HCFC−22 refrigerant to flush the
system.
The following devices could prevent full system charge recovery into the outdoor unit:
SOutdoor unit’s high or low−pressure switches (if applicable) when tripped can cycle the compressor OFF.
SCompressor can stop pumping due to tripped internal pressure relief valve.
SCompressor has internal vacuum protection that is designed to unload the scrolls (compressor stops pumping) when the pressure ratio meets
a certain value or when the suction pressure is as high as 20 psig. (Compressor suction pressures should never be allowed to go into a vacuum.
Prolonged operation at low suction pressures will result in overheating of the scrolls and permanent damage to the scroll tips, drive bearings and
internal seals.)
Once the compressor can not pump down to a lower pressure due to one of the above system conditions, shut off the vapor valve. Turn OFF the
main power to unit and use a recovery machine to recover any refrigerant left in the indoor coil and line set.
Perform the following task:
AStart the existing HCFC−22 system in the cooling mode and close the liquid line valve.
BUse the compressor to pump as much of the existing HCFC−22 refrigerant into the outdoor unit until the outdoor system is full (high pressure
switch will trip and shut the compressor off). Turn the outdoor unit main power OFF and use a recovery machine to remove the remaining refrigerant from the system.
NOTE It may be necessary to bypass the low pressure switch (if equipped) to ensure complete refrigerant evacuation.
CWhen the low side system pressures reach 0 psig, close the vapor line valve.
DCheck gauges after shutdown to confirm that the valves are not allowing refrigerant to flow back into the low side of the system.

CAUTION
In order to avoid injury, take proper precaution when lifting heavy objects.
See Unit Dimensions on page 3 for sizing mounting slab,
platforms or supports. Refer to figure 4 for mandatory
installation clearance requirements.
POSITIONING CONSIDERATIONS
Consider the following when positioning the unit:
SSome localities are adopting sound ordinances based
on the unit’s sound level registered from the adjacent
property, not from the installation property. Install the
unit as far as possible from the property line.
SWhen possible, do not install the unit directly outside
a window. Glass has a very high level of sound
transmission. For proper placement of unit in relation
to a window see the provided illustration in figure 5,
detail A.
PLACING UNIT ON SLAB
When installing unit at grade level, the top of the slab
should be high enough above grade so that water from
higher ground will not collect around the unit. The slab
should have a slope tolerance as described in figure 5,
detail B.
NOTE If necessary for stability, anchor unit to slab as
described in figure 5, detail D.
ELEVATING THE UNIT
Units are outfitted with elongated support feet as illustrated
in figure 5, detail C.
If additional elevation is necessary, raise the unit by
extending the height of the unit support feet. This may be
achieved by using a 2 inch (50.8mm) Schedule 40 female
threaded adapter.
The specified coupling will fit snuggly into the recessed
portion of the feet. Use additional 2−inch (50.8mm)
Schedule 40 male threaded adaptors which can be
threaded into the female threaded adaptors to make
additional adjustments to the level of the unit.
NOTE Keep the height of extenders short enough to
ensure a sturdy installation. If it is necessary to extend
further, consider a different type of field−fabricated
framework that is sturdy enough for greater heights.

rubber will then bubble and could cause leaks. Protect
the roof surface to avoid exposure to refrigerant and oil
during service and installation. Failure to follow this
notice could result in damage to roof surface.
Removing and Installing Panels
IMPORTANT
Do not allow panels to hang on unit by top tab. Tab is for
alignment and not designed to support weight of panel.
IMPORTANT
To help stabilize an outdoor unit, some installations may
require strapping the unit to the pad using brackets and
anchors commonly available in the marketplace.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, or damage to panels, unit or
structure, be sure to observe the following:
While installing or servicing this unit, carefully stow all
removed panels out of the way, so that the panels will not
cause injury to personnel, nor cause damage to objects

New or Replacement Line Set
REFRIGERANT LINE SET
This section provides information on installation or
replacement of existing line set. If new or replacement line
set is not being installed then proceed to BrazingConnections on page 13.
IMPORTANT
Lennox highly recommends changing line set when
converting the existing system from HCFC−22 to
HFC−410A. If that is not possible and the line set is the
proper size as reference in Table 2, use the procedure
outlined under Flushing the System on page 13.
If refrigerant lines are routed through a wall, then seal and
isolate the opening so vibration is not transmitted to the
building. Pay close attention to line set isolation during
installation of any HVAC system. When properly isolated
from building structures (walls, ceilings. floors), the
refrigerant lines will not create unnecessary vibration and
subsequent sounds. See figure 8 for recommended
installation practices. Also, consider the following when
placing and installing a high−efficiency outdoor unit.
IMPORTANT
Refrigerant lines must not contact structure.
Liquid lines that meter the refrigerant, such as RFC1 liquid
lines, must not be used in this application. Existing line set
of proper size as listed in table 2 may be reused. If system
was previously charged with HCFC−22 refrigerant, then
existing line set must be flushed (see Flushing the System
on page 16).

Support Product Applications for assistance. :
To obtain the correct information from Lennox, be sure to
communicate the following information:
SModel (XP17) and size of unit (e.g. −036).
SLine set diameters for the unit being installed as listed
in table 2 and total length of installation.
SNumber of elbows vertical rise or drop in the piping.
The compressor is charged with sufficient Polyol ester oil
for line set lengths up to 50 feet. Recommend adding oil to
system based on the amount of refrigerant charge in the
system. No need to add oil in system with 20 pounds of
refrigerant or less. For systems over 20 pounds − add one
ounce of every five pounds of refrigerant.
Recommended topping−off POE oils are Mobil EAL
ARCTIC 22 CC or ICI EMKARATEt RL32CF.
WARNING
Polyol Ester (POE) oils used with HFC−410A
refrigerant absorb moisture very quickly. It is very
important that the refrigerant system be kept closed
as much as possible. DO NOT remove line set caps
or service valve stub caps until you are ready to make
connections.
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and vapor lines
from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit coil (braze
connections). Use Lennox L15 (sweat, non−flare) series
line set, or field−fabricated refrigerant line sizes as listed in
table 2.
IMPORTANT
Mineral oils are not compatible with HFC−410A. If oil
must be added, it must be a Polyol ester oil.

Brazing Connections
Use the procedures outline in figures 9 and 10 for brazing
line set connections to service valves.
WARNING
Danger of fire. Bleeding the refrigerant
charge from only the high side may result
in pressurization of the low side shell and
suction tubing. Application of a brazing
torch to a pressurized system may result
in ignition of the refrigerant and oil
mixture − Check the high and low
pressures before applying heat.
IMPORTANT
Connect gauge set low pressure side to vapor line
service valve and repeat procedure starting at
paragraph 4 for brazing the liquid line to service port
valve.
IMPORTANT
Allow braze joint to cool before removing the wet rag
from the service valve. Temperatures above 250ºF can
damage valve seals.
WARNING
When using a high pressure gas such as
dry nitrogen to pressurize a refrigeration
or air conditioning system, use a
regulator that can control the pressure
down to 1 or 2 psig (6.9 to 13.8 kPa).
CAUTION
Brazing alloys and flux contain materials which are
hazardous to your health.
Avoid breathing vapors or fumes from brazing
operations. Perform operations only in well−ventilated
areas.
Wear gloves and protective goggles or face shield to
protect against burns.
Wash hands with soap and water after handling brazing
alloys and flux.
IMPORTANT
Use silver alloy brazing rods with 5% minimum silver
alloy for copper−to−copper brazing. Use 45% minimum
alloy for copper−to−brass and copper−to−steel brazing.
WARNING
Fire, Explosion and Personal Safety
Hazard.
Failure to follow this warning could
result in damage, personal injury or
death.
Never use oxygen to pressurize or
purge refrigeration lines. Oxygen,
when exposed to a spark or open
flame, can cause fire and/or an explosion, that could result in property
damage, personal injury or death.

IMPORTANT
Leak Test Line Set and Indoor Coil
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prohibits
the intentional venting of HFC refrigerants during
maintenance, service, repair and disposal of appliance.
Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming
must be followed.
IMPORTANT
If this unit is being matched with an approved line set
or indoor unit coil which was previously charged with
mineral oil, or if it is being matched with a coil which
was manufactured before January of 1999, the coil
and line set must be flushed prior to installation. Take
care to empty all existing traps. Polyol ester (POE) oils
are used in Lennox units charged with HFC−410A
refrigerant. Residual mineral oil can act as an
insulator, preventing proper heat transfer. It can also
clog the expansion device, and reduce the system
performance and capacity.
Failure to properly flush the system per the
instructions below will void the warranty.
CONNECT GAUGE SET
AConnect an HFC−410A manifold gauge set high pressure
1
hose to the vapor valve service port.
NOTE Normally, the high pressure hose is connected to
the liquid line port. However, connecting it to the vapor port
better protects the manifold gauge set from high pressure
damage.
BWith both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of
HFC−410A refrigerant to the center port of the manifold gauge
set.
NOTE Later in the procedure,
the HFC−410A container will be
replaced by the nitrogen
container.
IMPORTANT
Leak detector must be capable of sensing HFC
refrigerant.
WARNING
When using a high pressure gas such as
dry nitrogen to pressurize a refrigeration
or air conditioning system, use a
regulator that can control the pressure
down to 1 or 2 psig (6.9 to 13.8 kPa).
WARNING
Refrigerant can be harmful if it is inhaled. Refrigerant
must be used and recovered responsibly.
Failure to follow this warning may result in personal injury
or death.

following procedure to test for leaks:
AWith both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of HFC−410A refrigerant to the center port of the manifold gauge set. Open the valve
BOpen the high pressure side of the manifold to allow HFC−410A into the line set and indoor unit. Weigh in a trace amount of HFC−410A. [A
CConnect a cylinder of dry nitrogen with a pressure regulating valve to the center port of the manifold gauge set.
DAdjust dry nitrogen pressure to 150 psig (1034 kPa). Open the valve on the high side of the manifold gauge set in order to pressurize the line set
EAfter a few minutes, open one of the service valve ports and verify that the refrigerant added to the system earlier is measurable with a leak

EVACUATE THE SYSTEM
AOpen both manifold valves and start the vacuum pump.
2
BEvacuate the line set and indoor unit to an absolute pressure of 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury).
NOTE During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once. A rapid rise in pressure
indicates a relatively large leak. If this occurs, repeat the leak testing procedure.
NOTE The term absolute pressure means the total actual pressure within a given volume or system, above the absolute zero of
pressure. Absolute pressure in a vacuum is equal to atmospheric pressure minus vacuum pressure.
CWhen the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury), perform the following:
SClose manifold gauge valves
SClose valve on vacuum pump
STurn off vacuum pump
SDisconnect manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump
SAttach manifold center port hose to a dry nitrogen cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig (1034 kPa) and purge the hose.
SOpen manifold gauge valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor unit.
SClose manifold gauge valves.
DShut off the dry nitrogen cylinder and remove the manifold gauge hose from the cylinder. Open the manifold gauge valves to release the
dry nitrogen from the line set and indoor unit.
EReconnect the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump, turn the pump on, and continue to evacuate the line set and indoor unit until the
absolute pressure does not rise above 500 microns (29.9 inches of mercury) within a 20−minute period after shutting off the vacuum pump
and closing the manifold gauge valves.
FWhen the absolute pressure requirement above has been met, disconnect the manifold hose from the vacuum pump and connect it to an
upright cylinder of HFC−410A refrigerant. Open the manifold gauge valve 1 to 2 psig in order to release the vacuum in the line set and
indoor unit.
GPerform the following:
SClose manifold gauge valves.
SShut off HFC−410A cylinder.
SReinstall service valve cores by removing manifold hose from service valve. Quickly install cores with core
tool while maintaining a positive system pressure.
SReplace stem caps and secure finger tight, then tighten an additional one−sixth (1/6) of a turn as illustrated.

capable of accurately measuring down to 50 microns.
WARNING
Danger of Equipment Damage. Avoid deep vacuum
operation. Do not use compressors to evacuate a
system. Extremely low vacuums can cause internal
arcing and compressor failure. Damage caused by
deep vacuum operation will void warranty.
Evacuating the system of non−condensables is critical for
proper operation of the unit. Non−condensables are
defined as any gas that will not condense under
temperatures and pressures present during operation of
an air conditioning system. Non−condensables and water
suction combine with refrigerant to produce substances
that corrode copper piping and compressor parts.

electric heat and measuring:
STemperature rise between the return air and supply air
temperatures at the indoor coil blower unit,
SMeasuring voltage supplied to the unit,
SMeasuring amperage being drawn by the heat unit(s).
Then, apply the measurements taken in following formula
to determine CFM:
Use the following procedure to adjust for optimal air flow across the indoor coil:
1. DETERMINE THE DESIRED DT MEASURE ENTERING AIR TEMPERATURE USING DRY BULB (A) AND WET BULB (B). DT IS THE INTERSECTING VALUE
OF A AND B IN THE TABLE (SEE TRIANGLE).
2. Find temperature drop across coil Measure the coil’s dry bulb entering and leaving air temperatures (A and C). Temperature Drop Formula:
(T
) = A minus C.

3. Determine if fan needs adjustment If the difference between the measured T
is needed. See example below:

SUBCOOLING
1. Check the airflow as illustrated in figure 20 to be sure the indoor airflow is as required. (Make any air flow adjustments
before continuing with the following procedure.)
2. Measure outdoor ambient temperature; determine whether to use cooling mode or heating mode to check charge.
3. Connect gauge set.
4. Check liquid and vapor line pressures. Compare pressures with either heat or cooling mode normal operating
pressures in table 10, Normal Operating Pressures, High Stage.
NOTE The reference table is a general guide. Expect minor pressure variations. Significant differences may
mean improper charge or other system problem.
5. Set thermostat for heat/cool demand, depending on mode being used:
USING COOLING MODE When the outdoor ambient temperature is 60°F (15°C) and above. Target
subcooling values (second stage − high capacity) in table 10 are based on 70 to 80°F (21−27°C) indoor return air
temperature; if necessary, operate heating to reach that temperature range; then set thermostat to cooling mode
setpoint to 68ºF (20ºC) which should call for second−stage (high stage) cooling. When pressures have stabilized,
continue with Step 6.
USING HEATING MODE When the outdoor ambient temperature is below 60°F (15°C). Target subcooling
values (second−stage − high capacity) in table 10 are based on 65−75°F (18−24°C) indoor return air temperature;
if necessary, operate cooling to reach that temperature range; then set thermostat to heating mode setpoint to
77ºF (25ºC) which should call for second−stage (high stage) heating. When pressures have stabilized, continue
with Step 6.
6. Read the liquid line temperature; record in the LIQº space.
7. Read the liquid line pressure; then find its corresponding temperature in the temperature/ pressure chart listed
in table 11 and record it in the SATº space.
8. Subtract LIQº temperature from SATº temperature to determine subcooling; record it in SCº space.
9. Compare SCº results with tables 4 through 9, being sure to note any additional charge for line set and/or match−
up.
10. If subcooling value is greater than shown in tables 4 through 9 for the applicable unit, remove refrigerant; if less
than shown, add refrigerant.
11. If refrigerant is added or removed, repeat steps 5 through 6 to verify charge.
12. Disconnect gauge set and re−install both the liquid and suction service valve caps.

Heating Operation
Cooling Operation
Table 11. HFC−410A Temperature (°F) − Pressure (Psig)
Some scroll compressor have internal vacuum protector
that will unload scrolls when suction pressure goes
below 20 psig. A hissing sound will be heard when the
compressor is running unloaded. Protector will reset
when low pressure in system is raised above 40 psig. DO
NOT REPLACE COMPRESSOR.
The heat pump control (A175) provides the following
functions:
SInternal switching of outputs
SCompressor anti−short−cycle delay.
SFive strikes lockout safety function
SHigh (S4) and low (S87) pressure switches
SAmbient (RT13), and coil temperatures (RT21)
temperature monitoring and protection.
COMPRESSOR ANTI−SHORT CYCLE DELAY
The heat pump control protects the compressor from:
SShort cycling (five minutes) when there is initial power
up
SInterruption in power to the unit
SPressure or sensor trips
SDelay after Y1 demand is removed.
In non−communicating systems the delay is set for 300
seconds (five minutes) and can not be changed. To
override timer when active or inactive, place a jumper on
the field test pins between 1 and 2 seconds.
In communicating system, the icomfort Touch® thermostat
has a separate built−in 5−minute non−adjustable short cycle
protection.
Resetting Anti−Short Cycle Delay
The FIELD TEST pins (E33) on the heat pump control can
be jumpered between 1 to 2 seconds to bypass delay.
HIGH (S4) AND LOW (S87) PRESSURE SWITCHES
The unit’s pressure switches (LO PS − S87 and HI PS − S4)
are factory−wired into the heat pump control on the LO−PS
and HI−PS terminals, respectively.
Low Pressure Switch (LO−PS) See figure 28 for low
pressure switch sequence of operation.
High Pressure Switch (HI−PS) See figure 29 for high
pressure switch sequence of operation.
Pressure Switch Event Settings
The following pressures are the auto reset event value
triggers for low and high pressure thresholds:
SHigh Pressure (auto reset) − trip at 590 psig; reset at
418.
SLow Pressure (auto reset) − trip at 25 psig; reset at 40.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION FIVE−STRIKE
LOCKOUT SAFETY FUNCTION
The five−strike lockout safety function is designed to
protect the unit’s compressor from damage. The five−strike
feature is used for high pressure (S4) and low (S87)
pressure switch trips and W input fault or miswire.
Resetting Five−Strike Lockout
Once the condition has been rectified, power to the heat
pump control’s R terminal must be cycled OFF, or a jumper
placed on the FIELD TEST pins between 1− to 2−seconds
to reset the heat pump control.
Defrost System
The heat pump control (A175) measures differential
temperatures to detect when the system is performing
poorly because of ice build−up on the outdoor coil. The
controller self−calibrates (see figure 26) when the defrost
system starts and after each system defrost cycle. The
heat pump control monitors ambient temperature, outdoor
coil temperature, and total run−time to determine when a
defrost cycle is required. The coil temperature sensor is
designed with a spring clip to allow mounting to the outside
coil tubing. The location of the coil sensor is important for
proper defrost operation (see figure 1 for location of coil
sensor).
NOTE − The heat pump control accurately measures the
performance of the system as frost accumulates on the
outdoor coil. This typically will translate into longer running
time between defrost cycles as more frost accumulates on
the outdoor coil before the heat pump control initiates
defrost cycles.
DEFROST OPERATING MODES
The heat pump control board has three operational modes
which are:
SDefrost calibration and operation (see figure 26)
SDefrost test (see figure 27)
DEFROST TERMINATION TEMPERATURES (E47)
The heat pump control selections are: 50, 70, 90, and
100°F (10, 21, 32 and 38°C). The jumper termination pin is
factory set at 50°F (10°C).
If the temperature jumper is not installed, the default
termination temperature is 90°F (32°C). See figure 26 for
on how this settings affects defrost calibration and defrost
modes.
NOTE − Colder climates could require a high discharge
termination temperature setting to maintain a clear coil.

UNIT SENSORS
Sensors connect to the heat pump control through a
field-replaceable harness assembly that plugs into the
control. Through the sensors, the heat pump control
detects outdoor ambient and coil temperature fault
conditions. As the detected temperature changes, the
resistance across the sensor changes. table 13 shows
how the resistance varies as the temperature changes for
both type of sensors. Sensor resistance values can be
checked by ohming across pins shown in table 12.
NOTE When checking the ohms across a sensor, be
aware that a sensor showing a resistance value that is not
within the range shown in table 12, may be performing as
designed. However, if a shorted or open circuit is detected,
then the sensor may be faulty and the sensor harness will
need to be replaced.
Ambient Temperature Sensor (RT13)
See table 12 for sensor range. If the ambient sensor is
detected as being open, shorted or out of the temperature
range of the sensor, the heat pump control will not perform
demand defrost operation. The heat pump control will
revert to time/temperature defrost operation and will
display the appropriate alert code. Heating and cooling
operation will be allowed in this fault condition.
Coil Temperature Sensor (RT21)
See table 12 for sensor range. If the defrost coil sensor is
open, shorted or out of the temperature range of the
sensor, the heat pump control will not perform demand or
time/temperature defrost operation and will display the
appropriate fault code. Heating and cooling operation will
be allowed in this fault condition.
High Discharge Line Temperature Sensor
This model does not use a high discharge line temperature
sensor. The cable assembly attached to the heat pump
control’s E30 connection has a 10K resister installed
between pins 1 and 2 as illustrated in figure 24. No alerts or
alarms would be generated if resistor is damage.

The heat pump control has a field−selectable function to
reduce occasional sounds that may occur while the unit is
cycling in and out of the defrost mode. When a jumper is
installed on the DELAY pins (E37), the compressor will be
cycled off for 30 seconds going in and out of the defrost
mode. Units are shipped with jumper installed on DELAY

SClear five−strike fault lockout
SCycle the unit in and out of defrost mode
SManually place the unit in defrost mode to clear the coil
When Y1 is energized and 24V power is being applied to the heat pump control (A175), a test cycle can be initiated by placing a jumper on the heat pump
control’s TEST pins for 2 to 5 seconds. If the jumper remains on the TEST pins (E33) for longer than five seconds, the heat pump control will ignore the
jumpered TEST pins and revert to normal operation.
The heat pump control will initiate one test event each time a jumper is placed on the TEST pins. For each TEST the jumper must be removed for
at least one second and then reapplied.

System Status, Fault and Lockout LED
Codes
LED codes are displayed using various LEDs located on
the heat pump control (A175). See figure 16 for locations of
heat pump control LEDs.
DS11 AND DS14 SYSTEM STATUS, FAULT AND
LOCKOUT LED CODES
DS11 (Green) and DS14 (Red) LEDs indicate
non−communicating mode diagnostics conditions that are
listed in table 14.
These LEDs display the most common fault conditions in
the system. When an abnormal condition is detected, this
function communicates the specific condition through
system LED alert codes The function is capable of
detecting both mechanical and electrical system
problems.
DS15 AND DS13 COMPRESSOR FAULT AND
LOCKOUT LED CODES
DS15 (Yellow) and DS13 (Red) LEDs indicate
non−communicating mode diagnostics conditions that are
listed in table 15.
These LEDs display the most common fault conditions in
the system. When an abnormal condition is detected, this
function communicates the specific condition through
system LED alert codes The function is capable of
detecting both mechanical and electrical system
problems.
IMPORTANT
DS15 and DS13 compressor LED fault and lockout
codes do not provide safety protection. The is a
monitoring function only and cannot control or shut down
other devices.
RESETTING FAULT AND LOCKOUT LED CODES
All LED fault and lockout codes can be reset manually or
automatically:
1. Manual Reset
Manual reset can be achieve by one of the following
methods:
SDisconnecting R wire from the heat pump control’s
R terminal.
STurning the indoor unit off an on again
After power up, existing code will display for 60
seconds and then clear.
2. Automatic Reset
After a fault or lockout is detected, the heat pump
control continues to monitor the unit’s system and
compressor operations. When/if conditions return to
normal, the alert code is turned off automatically.

FAN MOTOR (B4) TEST PROCEDURE
The following procedure can be used to test the fan
motor operation. A fully charged 9V battery will be
required for this procedure. See figure 31 for complete
test procedure.
FAN MOTOR CONTROL (A177) OPERATION, AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
This section provides information concerning operation
and testing of the fan control.
Fan Motor Control Sequence of Operation
During start up, the following sequence is followed:
1. Display error conditions (see table 17), if present.
2. If no errors are detected, the LED code indicating
stage operation (see table 18) will display the
applicable code and then a long pause.
3. The fan motor speed / RPM (revolutions per minute)
indicator is displayed next (see table 16).
4. There is a short pause.
The above sequence will continue to repeat if a thermostat
demand is present. See figure 32 for LED sequence and
table 18 for description of flash and pause durations.
This is a test that will verify that the motor does operate.
1. Verify main (240 volt) power if OFF to unit.
2. Remove both wires (brown and black) from the J2 terminal on the fan motor
control (A177).
3. Room thermostat should be in OFF position (unit in idle mode − no heating or
cooling demands)
4. Turn main power (240 volt) ON to unit.
5. Connect 9 Volt battery to fan motor plugs as noted in picture below.
6. Fan motor should run at a reduced fan speed.
7. If fan motor does not run, then replace fan motor assembly.

Testing
Use the following subsections to verify and test the fan
motor control (A177).
Verifying Jumper Settings (J2)
The unit is shipped from the factory with the default fan
motor speed setting (in RPMs) required for each specific
model. Use the table 16 verify that jumpers are set
correctly for the specific unit.
Verifying LED Status Codes
During start up, the fan motor control (A177) LED
will display any error conditions. If error conditions
exist then no other codes will display. If no error
conditions are present, then the stage status and
and RPM indicator are displayed. Fan motor speeds
are not adjustable for a single stage outdoor unit (see
table 16).
Verifying Correct DC Output Voltage (J2)
The following three methods can be used to determine
whether the fan motor (B4) is operating at the correct
RPMs based on unit size.
1. Use the information provided in table 16 to verify that
all four jumper terminals are set correctly for the
specific size unit.
2. Verify LED RPM indicator is displaying the correct
flash sequence for the applicable size unit (see table
18).
3. Test DC voltage output on the fan motor control’s J2
terminals (see figure 34) while under full load and
verify the voltage read to the voltage listed in table 16
for the applicable size unit.
4. If no voltage is detected at the J2 terminals, verify
there is a Y1 demand at the thermostat and applicable
voltages detected all fan motor control (A177) voltage
inputs, see table 21.
If there is a demand, proceed to the next section for further
testing.
Verifying Correct Input Voltage (ECM/Y1, ECM/Y2,
ECM C and EXT ECM/R)
Using a voltmeter, check voltages on the following fan
motor control inputs using table 21. Voltage will only be
present during a thermostat demand. See figure 35 for test
example.
If correct voltages are detected at applicable inputs during
a demand, and no voltage is present at the J2 terminals,
then fan motor control should be replaced.

TOP GRILLE OR FAN MOTOR MOUNT ADJUSTMENT FOR FAN CLEARANCE
Sometimes during shipping, either the fan motor mounting or top grille may become out of alignment. This may cause the fan
motor blade to not clear the orifice ring. If this situation occurs, simply adjust either or both the fan motor mount or top grille
positions to allow proper clearance. The top grille four fastener insertion points to the plastic top and motor mount locations are
larger than the fasteners used to secure the grille and fan motor mounts. Use the procedures provided in figure 33 to adjust for fan
clearance.

Outdoor Unit
Maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency. At the beginning of each
cooling season, the system should be checked as follows:
1. Clean and inspect outdoor coil (may be flushed with a
water hose). Ensure power is off before cleaning.
2. Outdoor unit fan motor is pre−lubricated and sealed.
No further lubrication is needed.
3. Visually inspect all connecting lines, joints and coils for
evidence of oil leaks.
4. Check all wiring for loose connections.
5. Check for correct voltage at unit (unit operating).
6. Check amp draw on outdoor fan motor.
MotorNameplate:_________ Actual:__________.
SOutdoor Coil The outdoor coil may be flushed with
a water hose.
SOutdoor Coil (sea coast) Moist air in ocean
locations can carry salt, which is corrosive to most
metal. Units that are located near the ocean require
frequent inspections and maintenance. These
inspections will determine the necessary need to wash
the unit including the outdoor coil. Consult your
installing contractor for proper intervals/procedures
for your geographic area or service contract.
Indoor Unit
1. Clean or change filters.
2. Lennox blower motors are prelubricated and
permanently sealed. No more lubrication is needed.
3. Adjust 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.
4. Belt Drive Blowers − Check belt for wear and proper
tension.
5. Check all wiring for loose connections.
6. Check for correct voltage at unit. (blower operating)
7. Check amp draw on blower motor.
Motor Nameplate:_________ Actual:__________.
Indoor Coil
1. Clean coil if necessary.
2. Check connecting lines, joints and coil for evidence of
oil leaks.
3. Check condensate line and clean if necessary.
Locations with Possibility of Heavy Snow or
Freezing Rain Accumulation
Heavy snow and/or freezing rain can interfere with the
performance of the outdoor fan assembly. Lennox
recommends use of the optional snow guard (X8782) in
these areas.
7. Inspect drain holes in coil compartment base and
clean if necessary.
NOTE - If insufficient heating or cooling occurs, the unit
should be gauged and refrigerant charge should be
checked.
Outdoor Coil
It may be necessary to flush the outdoor coil more
frequently if it is exposed to substances which are
corrosive or which block airflow across the coil (e.g., pet
urine, cottonwood seeds, fertilizers, fluids that may contain
high levels of corrosive chemicals such as salts)

XP17 SERIES
HOMEOWNER
Cleaning of the outdoor unit’s coil should be performed by
a trained service technician. Contact your dealer and set
up a schedule (preferably twice a year, but at least once a
year) to inspect and service your outdoor unit. The
following maintenance may be performed by the
homeowner.
IMPORTANT
Sprinklers and soaker hoses should not be installed
where they could cause prolonged exposure to the
outdoor unit by treated water. Prolonged exposure of the
unit to treated water (i.e., sprinkler systems, soakers,
waste water, etc.) will corrode the surface of steel and
aluminum parts and diminish performance and longevity
of the unit.
Outdoor Coil
The outdoor unit must be properly maintained to ensure its
proper operation.
SPlease contact your dealer to schedule proper
inspection and maintenance for your equipment.
SMake sure no obstructions restrict airflow to the
outdoor unit.
SGrass clippings, leaves, or shrubs crowding the unit
can cause the unit to work harder and use more
energy.
SKeep shrubbery trimmed away from the unit and
periodically check for debris which collects around the
unit.
Routine Maintenance
In order to ensure peak performance, your system must be
properly maintained. Clogged filters and blocked airflow
prevent your unit from operating at its most efficient level.
1. Air Filter Ask your Lennox dealer to show you
where your indoor unit’s filter is located. It will be either
at the indoor unit (installed internal or external to the
cabinet) or behind a return air grille in the wall or
ceiling. Check the filter monthly and clean or replace
it as needed.
2. Disposable Filter Disposable filters should be
replaced with a filter of the same type and size.
NOTE If you are unsure about the filter required for your
system, call your Lennox dealer for assistance.
3. Reusable Filter Many indoor units are equipped
with reusable foam filters. Clean foam filters with a
mild soap and water solution; rinse thoroughly; allow
filter to dry completely before returning it to the unit or
grille.
NOTE The filter and all access panels must be in place
any time the unit is in operation.
4. Lennox Branded Air Filters are designed to
remove airborne particles from the air passing through
the filter.
5. Indoor Unit The indoor unit’s evaporator coil is
equipped with a drain pan to collect condensate
formed as your system removes humidity from the
inside air. Have your dealer show you the location of
the drain line and how to check for obstructions. (This
would also apply to an auxiliary drain, if installed.)
Thermostat Operation
See the ComfortSense® 7000 thermostat homeowner
manual for instructions on how to operate your thermostat.
Heat Pump Operation
Your new Lennox heat pump has several characteristics
that you should be aware of:
SHeat pumps satisfy heating demand by delivering
large amounts of warm air into the living space. This
is quite different from gas- or oil-fired furnaces or an
electric furnace which deliver lower volumes of
considerably hotter air to heat the space.
SDo not be alarmed if you notice frost on the outdoor coil
in the winter months. Frost develops on the outdoor
coil during the heating cycle when temperatures are
below 45F (7C). The heat pump control activates a
defrost cycle lasting 5 to 15 minutes at preset intervals
to clear the outdoor coil of the frost.
SDuring the defrost cycle, you may notice steam rising
from the outdoor unit. This is a normal occurrence. The
thermostat may engage auxiliary heat during the
defrost cycle to satisfy a heating demand; however,
the unit will return to normal operation at the
conclusion of the defrost cycle.
Extended Power Outage
The heat pump is equipped with a compressor crankcase
heater which protects the compressor from refrigerant
slugging during cold weather operation.
If power to your unit has been interrupted for several hours
or more, set the room thermostat selector to the
EMERGENCY HEAT setting to obtain temporary heat
without the risk of serious damage to the heat pump.
In EMERGENCY HEAT mode, all heating demand is
satisfied by auxiliary heat; heat pump operation is locked
out. After a six-hour compressor crankcase warm-up
period, the thermostat can be switched to the HEAT setting
and normal heat pump operation may resume.
Preservice Check
If your system fails to operate, check the following before
calling for service:
SVerify room thermostat settings are correct.
SVerify that all electrical disconnect switches are ON.
SCheck for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.
SVerify unit access panels are in place.
SVerify air filter is clean.
SIf service is needed, locate and write down the unit
model number and have it handy before calling.
