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.

RECOVERING REFRIGERANT
Remove existing HCFC−22 refrigerant using one of the following methods

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:
S Outdoor unit’s high or low−pressure switches (if applicable) when tripped can cycle the compressor OFF.
S Compressor can stop pumping due to tripped internal pressure relief valve.
S Compressor 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:
A Start the existing HCFC−22 system in the cooling mode and close the liquid line valve.
B Use 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.
C When the low side system pressures reach 0 psig, close the vapor line valve.
D Check 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:
S Some 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.
S When 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.
STABILIZING UNIT ON UNEVEN SURFACES
With unit positioned at installation site, perform the following:
1. Remove two side louvered panels to expose the unit base.
2. Install the brackets as illustrated in figure 5, detail D using conventional practices.
3. Replace the panels after installation is complete.

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 Brazing Connections on page 12.
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 7 for recommended installation practices. Also, consider the following when placing and installing a high−efficiency outdoor unit.
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 15).
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.

dependent on unit match up. See XC21 Engineering Handbook to determine correct line set sizes.
NOTE  When installing refrigerant lines longer than 50 feet, see the Lennox Refrigerant Piping Design and Fabrication Guidelines, CORP. 9351−L9, or contact Lennox Technical Support Product Applications for assistance.
To obtain the correct information from Lennox, be sure to communicate the following information:
S Model (XC21) and size of unit (e.g. −036).
S Line set diameters for the unit being installed as listed
in table 2 and total length of installation.
S Number 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.

Brazing Connections
Use the procedures outline in figures 8 and 9 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
A Connect 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.
B With 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.

TEST FOR LEAKS
After the line set has been connected to the indoor and outdoor units, check the line set connections and indoor unit for leaks. Use the
2
following procedure to test for leaks:
A With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of HFC−410A refrigerant to the center port of the manifold gauge set. Open the valve
on the HFC−410A cylinder (vapor only).
B Open 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
trace amount is a maximum of two ounces (57 g) refrigerant or three pounds (31 kPa) pressure]. Close the valve on the HFC−410A cylinder
and the valve on the high pressure side of the manifold gauge set. Disconnect the HFC−410A cylinder.
C Connect a cylinder of dry nitrogen with a pressure regulating valve to the center port of the manifold gauge set.
D Adjust 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
and the indoor unit.
E After 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
detector.
F After leak testing disconnect gauges from service ports.

EVACUATE THE SYSTEM
A Open both manifold valves and start the vacuum pump.
2
B Evacuate 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.
C When the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury), perform the following:
S Close manifold gauge valves S Close valve on vacuum pump S Turn off vacuum pump S Disconnect manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump S Attach manifold center port hose to a dry nitrogen cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig (1034 kPa) and purge the hose. S Open manifold gauge valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor unit. S Close manifold gauge valves.
D Shut 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.
E Reconnect 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.
F When 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.
G Perform the following:
S Close manifold gauge valves. S Shut off HFC−410A cylinder. S Reinstall service valve cores by removing manifold hose from service valve. Quickly install cores with core
tool while maintaining a positive system pressure.
S Replace stem caps and secure finger tight, then tighten an additional one−sixth (1/6) of a turn as illustrated.

IMPORTANT
Use a thermocouple or thermistor electronic vacuum gauge that is calibrated in microns. Use an instrument 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.

This system uses HFC−410A refrigerant which operates at much higher pressures than HCFC−22. The pre−installed liquid line filter drier is approved for use with HFC−410A only. Do not replace it with components designed for use with HCFC−22. This unit is NOT approved for use with coils which use capillary tubes or fixed orifices as a refrigerant metering device.

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.

System Operation
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 E33 pins on the air conditioner control can be jumpered between 1 to 2 seconds to reset the anti−short cycle delay sequence.
HIGH (S4) AND LOW (S87) PRESSURE SWITCHES Low Pressure Switch (LO−PS)  See figure 27 for low
pressure switch sequence of operation.
High Pressure Switch (HI−PS)  See figure 28 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:
S High Pressure (auto reset) − trip at 590 psig; reset at
418.
S Low Pressure (auto reset) − trip at 25 psig; reset at 40.
IMPORTANT
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 air conditioner control (A175) provides the following system functions:
S Compressor anti−short−cycle delay. S High (S4) and low (S87) pressure switches S Ambient (RT13) and Discharge Line (RT28)
Temperature Sensors Monitoring and Protection.
S Five strikes lockout safety feature for High/Low
Pressure Switches and High Discharge Line Temperature. See figures 27, 28 and 29 feature function.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION  ANTI−SHORT CYCLE DELAY
The air conditioner control protects the compressor from:
S Short cycling (five minutes) when there is initial power
up
S Interruption in power to the unit S High or low pressure switch or discharge line sensor
trips
S Delay after Y1 demand is removed.
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 high discharge temperature (RT28).
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.
UNIT SENSORS
Sensors connect to the heat pump control through a field-replaceable harness assembly that plugs into the control. Through the sensors, the control detects outdoor ambient, coil, and discharge temperature fault conditions. As the detected temperature changes, the resistance across the sensor changes. Tables 7 and 8 shows how the resistance varies as the temperature changes for both type of sensors. Sensor resistance values can be checked by ohming across pins listed in table 6.
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 6, 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.

System Status, Fault and Lockout LED Codes
LED codes are displayed using various LEDs located on the air conditioner control (A175). See figure 15 for location of air conditioner 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 9.
These LEDs display fault conditions in system cooling capacity, dehumidification mode, anti−short cycle lockout, high and low pressures, high discharge line temperature, outdoor ambient temperature, and discharge sensor failures.
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 10.
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 diagnostic LEDs. 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 LED 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:
S Disconnecting R wire from the air conditioner
control’s R terminal.
S Turning the indoor unit off an on again.
Cycle the 24VAC power to air conditioner control off and on. After power up, existing code will display for 60 seconds and then clear.
2. Automatic Reset
After a fault or lockout is detected, the air conditioner control continues to monitor the unit’s system and compressor operations. When/if conditions return to normal, the alert code is turned off automatically.

ALERT STATUS
icomfort Touch® thermostat device is unable to communicate with any other device on the RSBus. Alarm only occurs if a specific device did communicate initially after power up and communication was later lost. Possible causes are lost connection, bus short or open, or other device stop responding.
Message could be sent by any device on RSBus if expected response message is not received from other device. If sent by indoor or outdoor control, device did not get expected response (incorrect or no response at all) from active Subnet controller. If sent by the icomfort Touch® thermostat, and did not get the expected response (incorrect or no response at all) from device. Normally this indicate device malfunction.
Device lost connection to icomfort Touch® thermostat. Thermostat is sending heartbeat message in one minute intervals. Device sets this alarm if no Heartbeat is received for three minutes. Normally this indicate lost connection to thermostat, or thermostat is not working. Alert will clear after valid subnet controller message is received.
Entire or partial system failure. Alert will clear 300 seconds after fault has recovered.
Internal communication on outdoor control. Alert will clear 300 seconds after fault has recovered.

This code detects high discharge temperatures. If the discharge line temperature exceeds a temperature of 279ºF (137ºC) during compressor operation, the control will de−energize the compressor contactor output (and the defrost output if active). The compressor will remain off until the discharge temperature has dropped below 225ºF (107ºC). See figure 29 for further details concerning lockouts and reset procedures.
The A175 control detects open or short sensor or out of temperature sensor range. This fault is detected by allowing the unit to run for 90 seconds before checking sensor resistance. If the sensor resistance is not within range after 90 seconds, the control will raise the alarm.

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 30 for complete test procedure.
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.
FAN MOTOR CONTROL (A177) LED CODES AND SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
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 12), if present
2. If no errors are detected, then the LED code indicating stage operation (see table 13) 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 11).
4. There is a short pause.
The above sequence will continue to repeat if a thermostat demand is present. See figure 31 for LED sequence. See table 13 for description of flash and pause durations.

Motor Nameplate:_________ Actual:__________.
6. Inspect drain holes in coil compartment base and clean if necessary.
NOTE - If insufficient cooling occurs, the unit should be gauged and refrigerant charge should be checked.
Outdoor Coil
Clean and inspect outdoor coil (may be flushed with a water hose). Ensure power is off before cleaning.
NOTE  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)
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.
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.
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
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.
S Please contact your dealer to schedule proper
inspection and maintenance for your equipment.
S Make sure no obstructions restrict airflow to the
outdoor unit.
S Grass clippings, leaves, or shrubs crowding the unit
can cause the unit to work harder and use more energy.
Page 49
XC21 SERIES
S Keep 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.
If you are unsure about the filter required for your
NOTE 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 or icomfort Touch thermostat homeowner manual for instructions on how to operate your thermostat.
Preservice Check
If your system fails to operate, check the following before calling for service:
S Verify room thermostat settings are correct.
S Verify that all electrical disconnect switches are On.
S Check for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.
S Verify unit access panels are in place.
S Verify air filter is clean.
S If service is needed, locate and write down the unit
model number and have it handy before calling.

Use this check-out procedure to verify part- and full-load capacity operation of two-stage modulation compressor.
IMPORTANT
This performance check is OnLY valid on systems that have clean indoor and outdoor coils, proper airflow over coils, and correct system refrigerant charge. All components in the system must be functioning proper to correctly perform compressor modulation operational check. (Accurate measurements are critical to this test as indoor system loading and outdoor ambient can affect variations between low and high capacity readings).
TOOLS REQUIRED
S Refrigeration gauge set S Digital volt/amp meter S Electronic temperature thermometer S On-off toggle switch
PROCEDURE
1. Turn main power OFF to outdoor unit.
2. Adjust room thermostat set point 5ºF above (heating operation) or 5ºF below (cooling operation) the room temperature.
®
3. Remove control access panel. Install refrigeration gauges on unit. Attach the amp meter to the common (black wire) wire of the compressor harness. Attach thermometer to discharge line as close as possible to the compressor.
4. Turn toggle switch OFF. Install switch in series with Y2 wire from room thermostat (see note ** in the Field Operational Checklist on page 51).
5. Cycle main power On.
