If line set length is greater than 25 feet, add this amount
to each circuit. If line set is less than 25 feet, subtract this
amount from each circuit. Refer to Lennox Refrigerant
Piping Design and Fabrication Guidelines for more information.
NOTE - Refrigerant line sets longer than 200 feet (60 me-
ters) are not recommended. For assistance contact Lennox Application Department.
To charge the system, use either of the following procedures:
CHARGE PROCEDURE – NORMAL OPERATING
PRESSURES
1 - Connect a manifold gauge set to the service valves:
A - Low pressure gauge to vapor service port.
B - High pressure gauge to liquid valve service port
2 - Operate system in cooling mode until pressures
and temperatures stabilize (5 minutes minimum).
3 - Use a thermometer to measure the outdoor
ambient temperature. The outdoor temperature will
determine which charging procedure to use.
Outdoor Temp > 65ºF (18ºC)
1 - Apply the outdoor ambient temperature to table
4 or 5 to determine normal operating pressures.
Compare the normal operating pressures to the
pressures obtained from the connected gauges.
If discharge pressure is high, remove refrigerant
from the system. If discharge pressure is low, add
refrigerant to the system.
A - Add or remove charge in increments.
B - Allow the system to stabilize at least 5 minutes each
time refrigerant is added or removed
2 - Minor variations in these pressures may be
expected due to differences in installations.
Signicant differences could mean that the system
is not properly charged or that a problem exists with
some component in the system.

3 - Switch to heating mode to conrm normal operating
pressures. Let the system stabilize at least 10
minutes, then compare the pressure obtained from
the connected gauges to the normal operating
pressures (heating mode) in table 5.
4 - Verify the charge, as described in the approach
method section.
Outdoor Temp < 65ºF (18ºC)
1 - When the outdoor ambient temperature is below
65F (18C) it may be necessary to restrict the air ow
through the outdoor coil to achieve liquid pressures
in the 325-375 psig (2240-2585 kPa) range. These
higher pressures are necessary for checking the
charge. Block equal sections of the outdoor coil on
all coil sides until the liquid pressure is in the 325-
375 psig range (gure 4).
2 - Charge the unit using the approach method in the
approach method section.
3 - Switch to heating mode and let the system stabilize
at least 10 minutes. Then conrm that the pressures
obtained from the connected gauges match the
normal operating pressures (heating mode) in table 5.
4 - Minor variations in these pressures may be
expected due to differences in installations.
Signicant differences could mean that the system
is not properly charged or that a problem exists with
some component in the system.

Page 9
Page 10
2 - Approach temperature should be as indicated in
table 3 for each stage. An approach temperature
greater than this value indicates an undercharge.
An approach temperature less than this value
indicates an overcharge.
A - Add or remove charge in increments.
B - Allow system to stabilize at least 5 minutes each
time refrigerant is added or removed.

TABLE 6. HFC-410A Temperature (ºF) – Pressure (Psig)
The outdoor unit and indoor blower cycle on demand from
the room thermostat. When the thermostat blower switch
is in the ON position, the indoor blower operates continuously.
HIGH PRESSURE SWITCHES (S4 AND S7)
These units are equipped with an auto-reset high pressure
switch (single-pole, single-throw) which is located on the
discharge line. The switch shuts off the compressor when
discharge pressure rises above the factory setting. High
Pressure (auto reset) – trip at 640 psig; reset at 512 psig.
LOSS OF CHARGE SWITCH (S24)
These units are equipped with a loss-of-charge switch that
is located in the liquid line. The switch is a SPST, auto-reset switch that is normally closed. The switch opens at 40
psi and closes at 90 psi.
Defrost System
The defrost system includes a defrost thermostat and a
defrost control.
DEFROST THERMOSTAT
The defrost thermostat is located on the liquid line between
the check/expansion valve and the distributor on each
coil. When the defrost thermostat senses 42°F (5.5°C) or
cooler, its contacts close and send a signal to the defrost
control board to start the defrost timing. It also terminates
defrost when the liquid line warms up to 70°F (21°C).
DEFROST CONTROL
The defrost control board includes the combined functions
of a time/temperature defrost control, defrost relay, time
delay, diagnostic LEDs, and a terminal strip for eld wiring
connections.
The control provides automatic switching from normal
heating operation to defrost mode and back. During compressor cycle (defrost thermostat is closed, calling for defrost), the control accumulates compressor run times at
30, 60, or 90 minute eld adjustable intervals. If the defrost thermostat is closed when the selected compressor
run time interval ends, the defrost relay is energized and
defrost begins.
Each timing pin selection provides a different accumulated compressor run time period for one defrost cycle. This
time period must occur before a defrost cycle is initiated.
The defrost interval can be adjusted to 30 (T1), 60 (T2), or
90 (T3) minutes. The maximum defrost period is 14 minutes and cannot be adjusted.
NOTE — Defrost control part number is listed near the P1
timing pins.
• Units with defrost control 100269-02: The factory de-
fault defrost interval is 60 minutes.
• Units with defrost control 100269-04 or higher: The fac-
tory default defrost interval is 90 minutes.
If the timing selector jumper is missing, the defrost control
defaults to a 90-minute defrost interval.

FIGURE 5. Outdoor Unit Defrost Control Board
A TEST option is provided for troubleshooting. The TEST
mode may be started any time the unit is operating in the
heating mode and the defrost thermostat is closed or jumpered. If the jumper is in the TEST position at power-up,
the control will ignore the test pins. When the jumper is
placed across the TEST pins for two seconds, the control will enter the defrost mode. If the jumper is removed
before an additional 5-second period has elapsed (7 seconds total), the unit will remain in defrost mode until the
defrost thermostat opens or 14 minutes have passed. If
the jumper is not removed until after the additional 5-second period has elapsed, the defrost will terminate and the
test option will not function again until the jumper is removed and re-applied.
COMPRESSOR DELAY
The defrost board has a eld-selectable function to reduce
occasional sounds that may occur while the unit is cycling
in and out of the defrost mode. When the compressor delay jumper is removed, the compressor will be cycled off
for 30 seconds going in and out of the defrost mode.
NOTE – The 30-second compressor feature is ignored
when the TEST pins have been jumpered.
TIME DELAY
The timed-off delay is ve minutes long. The delay helps
protect the compressor from short-cycling in case the
power to the unit is interrupted or a pressure switch opens.
The delay is bypassed by placing the timer select jumper
across the TEST pins for 0.5 seconds.
NOTE – The board must have a thermostat demand for
the bypass function.
PRESSURE SWITCH CIRCUITS
The defrost control includes two pressure switch circuits.
The factory-installed high pressure switch (S4) wires are
connected to the board’s HI PS terminals (gure 5). The
board also includes LO PS terminals to accommodate the
factory installed loss-of-charge switch.
Page 12
Page 13
During a single thermostat cycle, the defrost control will
lock out the unit after the fth time that the circuit is interrupted by any pressure switch that is wired to the control board. In addition, the diagnostic LEDs will indicate
a pressure switch lockout after the fth occurrence of an
open pressure switch (table 7). The unit will remain locked
out until power is broken then remade to the control or until the jumper is applied to the TEST pins for 0.5 seconds.
NOTE – The defrost control board ignores input from the
loss-of-charge switch terminals during the TEST mode,
during the defrost cycle, during the 90-second start-up
period, and for the rst 90 seconds each time the reversing valve switches heat/cool modes. If the TEST pins are
jumpered and the 5-minute delay is being bypassed,
the LO PS terminal signal is not ignored during the
90-second start-up period.
SERVICE LIGHT CONNECTION
The defrost control board includes terminal connections
for a service light which provides a signal that activates
the room thermostat service light during periods of inefcient operation.
IMPORTANT
After testing has been completed, properly reposition
test jumper across desired timing pins.
DIAGNOSTIC LEDS
The defrost board uses two LEDs for diagnostics. The
LEDs ash a specic sequence according to the diagnosis (table 7).
