Service Literature
CB26UH &CBX26UH Series
The CB26UH, and CBX26UH are high efficiency blower coils.
Several models are available in sizes ranging from 1-1/2
through 5 tons (5.3 through 17.6 kW). The CBX26UH is designed for R−410A refrigerant and the CB26UH is designed for
R−22 refrigerant. The units are up flow / horizontal that can be
field converted to down flow applications. The units come with
a factory installed check and expansion valve for cooling or
heat pump applications.
CB26UH and CBX26UH series units are designed to be
matched with the 13SEER air conditioner and heat pump line,
but can be matched with other air conditioners or heat pumps
as noted in the rating information. See Engineering Handbook.
Electric heat, in several kW sizes, can be field installed in the
CB26UH and CBX26UH cabinets.
Information contained in this manual is intended for use by experienced HVAC service technicians only. All specifications are
subject to change. Procedures outlined in this manual are presented as a recommendation only and do not supersede or replace local or state codes.
IMPORTANT
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 qualified installer or service
agency.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Can cause injury
or death. Before attempting to perform
any service or maintenance, turn the
electrical power to unit OFF at disconnect switch(es). Unit may have multiple
power supplies.

I−APPLICATION
All major blower coil components must be matched according to Lennox recommendations for the unit to be
covered under warranty. Refer to the Engineering Handbook
for approved system matchups. A misapplied system will
cause erratic operation and can result in early unit failure. The
units come with factory installed check and expansion valve for
all applications. The TXV valve has been installed internally for
a cleaner installation and is accessible if required.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic
components. Take precautions during unit installation and service to protect the unit’s electronic
controls. Precautions will help to avoid control
exposure to electrostatic discharge by putting
the unit, the control and the technician at the
same electrostatic potential. Neutralize electrostatic charge by touching hand and all tools on an
unpainted unit surface before performing any
service procedure.

II−UNIT COMPONENTS
A−Control Box
The CB26UH and CBX26UH control box is located above
the blower section shown in figure 1. Line voltage and electric heat connections are made in the control box. Optional
electric heat fits through an opening located in the center of
the control box. When electric heat is not used, cover plates
cover the opening. The electric heat control arrangement is
detailed in the electric heat section of this manual.
1−Transformer
All CB26UH and CBX26UH series units use a single line
voltage to 24VAC transformer mounted in the control
box. The transformer supplies power to the control circuits in the indoor and outdoor unit. Transformers are
rated at 40VA. 208/240VAC single phase transformers use
two primary voltage taps as shown in figure 2.

208 / 240 VOLT TRANSFORMER
2−Blower Relay
All CB26UH and CBX26UH units use a DPST relay to energize the blower motor. The relay coil is energized by
blower demand from indoor thermostat. When the coil is
energized, a set of N.O. contacts closes to energize the blower
motor on cooling speed. When de−energized, a set of N.C.
contacts allows the electric heat relay to energize the blower on
heating speed (refer to unit wiring diagram).
3−Time Delay Relay
The blower time delay is a 24 volt N.O. relay wired to the
blower relay. See unit diagram. The delay is between 10
and 60 seconds and delays the blower on and off time in the
cooling cycle.
BLOWER ASSEMBLY
FIGURE 3
B−Blower Motor (B3)
CB26UH and CBX26UH units use single phase direct drive
blower motors with a run capacitor. Figure 3 shows the
parts arrangement. All motors have two speed taps. Typically, the high speed tap is energized during normal operation.
All units are factory wired for the high blower speed for heat
pump and cooling applications with or without electric heat. No
field wiring is required. The wiring diagrams show factory set
blower speeds.
1−Blower Motor Capacitor
All CB26UH and CBX26UH series units use single phase direct drive motors with a run capacitor. The run capacitor is
mounted on the blower housing. See figure 3. Capacitor ratings are shown on side of capacitor and indoor blower motor
nameplate.
C−Coil
CB26UH and CBX26UH units have dual slab coils arranged in an A" configuration. Each coil has two or three
rows of copper tubes fitted with ripple−edged aluminum
fins. An expansion valve, feeds multiple parallel circuits through
the coils. The coil is designed to easily slide out of the unit cabinet.
D−Plastic Drain Pans
Drain pans are provided and installed on the CB26UH and
CBX26UH, The drain pans are made from fiberglass filled
plastic.
