506587−01
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.

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.

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.
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 BrazingConnections 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.

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:
SModel (XC21) 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.

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

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.

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:
AWith 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).
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
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.
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
and the indoor unit.
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
detector.
FAfter leak testing disconnect gauges from service ports.

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.

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.

ADDING OR REMOVING REFRIGERANT
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:
SHigh Pressure (auto reset) − trip at 590 psig; reset at
418.
SLow 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:
SCompressor anti−short−cycle delay.
SHigh (S4) and low (S87) pressure switches
SAmbient (RT13) and Discharge Line (RT28)
Temperature Sensors Monitoring and Protection.
SFive strikes lockout safety feature for High/Low

Temperature. See figures 27, 28 and 29 feature
function.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION ANTI−SHORT
CYCLE DELAY
The air conditioner control protects the compressor from:
SShort cycling (five minutes) when there is initial power
up
SInterruption in power to the unit
SHigh or low pressure switch or discharge line sensor
trips
SDelay 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:
SDisconnecting R wire from the air conditioner
control’s R terminal.
STurning 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.

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

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.

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 motor
RPM setting required for the specific model size. Use the
table 11 for two−stage operation to verify that jumpers are
set correctly for the specific size unit.
During start up, the fan motor control 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. Two−stage units have various fan motor
speed operations available (see table 11).
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 11 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
table 11).
3. Test DC voltage output on the fan motor control’s J2
terminals (see figure 32) while under full load and
verify the voltage read to the voltage listed in table 11
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 voltage inputs,
see table 15.
If there is a demand, proceed to the next section for further
testing.
Verifying Correct Input Voltage (ECM/Y1, ECM/Y2,
Using a volt meter, check voltages on the following fan
motor control inputs using table 15. Voltage will only be
present during a thermostat demand. See figure 33 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
34 to adjust for fan clearance.

INDOOR UNIT MAINTENANCE
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 amperage 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.
DEALER
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. Outdoor unit fan motor is pre−lubricated and sealed.
No further lubrication is needed.
2. Visually inspect all connecting lines, joints and coils for
evidence of oil leaks.
3. Check all wiring for loose connections.
4. Check for correct voltage at unit (unit operating).
5. Check amperage draw on outdoor fan motor.
MotorNameplate:_________ 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.
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.
Page 49
XC21 SERIES
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.
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:
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.

SunSource® Home Energy System
This Dave Lennox Signature® Collection heat pump is
factory−equipped with components that make it
SunSource
with solar modules and other optional equipment so that
they can become part of a SunSource
System.
Units can be upgraded for use with solar equipment at the
time of installation or in the future.
Solar energy is first used to meet cooling/heating
demands. When the outdoor unit is not operating, the
system powers lighting, appliances and other electronic
devices in the home. Any surplus power is sent back to the
utility company for a possible credit (check with your local
utility company for availability).
The SolarSynct package consists of the following
components:

power wiring.
Checklists
TWO STAGE COMPRESSOR CHECKOUT
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
SRefrigeration gauge set
SDigital volt/amp meter
SElectronic temperature thermometer
SOn-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 FieldOperational Checklist on page 51).
5. Cycle main power On.
6. Allow pressures and temperatures to stabilize before
taking any measured reading (may take up to 10
minutes).
7. Record all of the readings for the Y1 demand.
XC21 Field Operational Checklist
Cooling***Heating***
8. Close switch to energize Y2 demand. Verify power is
going to compressor solenoid (see note ** in the FieldOperational Checklist on page 51).
9. Allow pressures and temperatures to stabilize before
taking any measured reading (this may take up to 10
minutes).
10. Record all of the readings with the Y1 and Y2 demand.
11. If temperatures and pressures change in the direction
noted in chart, the compressor is properly modulating
from low to high capacity. (If no amperage, pressures
or temperature readings change when this test is
performed, the compressor is not switching between
low and high capacity and replacement is necessary).
12. After testing is complete, return unit to original set up.
