Precautions and
Procedures
A-CONTROL BOX COMPONENTS
1 - Transformer T1 & T18
All ELS models use a single line voltage to 24VAC transformer mounted in the control box. Transformer T1 supplies power to control circuits in the ELS unit. The transformer is rated at 70VA and is protected by a 3.5 amp
circuit breaker (CB8). CB8 is internal to the transformer.
The 208/230 (Y) voltage transformers use two primary
voltage taps as shown in gure 1, while 460 (G) and 575
(J) voltage transformers use a single primary voltage tap.
T18 is identical to T1 used in ELS120, 150, 180 and 240
and is protected by internal circuit breaker CB18.
NOTE – 208 volt units are eld wired with the red wire
connected to control transformer. 230 volt units are factory
wired with the orange wire connected to control transfomer primary.
2 - Terminal Strip TB14 & TB2
Terminal strip TB14 used in all units distributes 24V power
and common from the transformer T18 to the control box
components. Terminal block TB2 used in the 120, 150,
180 and 240 units, distributes line voltage to line voltage
components.
3 - Condenser Fan Capacitors C1, C2, C18, C19
All ELS units use single-phase condenser fan motors. Motors are equipped with a fan run capacitor to maximize
motor efciency. Condenser fan capacitors C1, C2, C18
and C19 assist in the start up of condenser fan motors B4,
B5, B21 and B22. Capacitor ratings will be on condenser
fan motor nameplate.
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. Touch hand and all tools
on an unpainted unit surface before
performing any service procedure to
neutralize electrostatic charge.
All compressor contactors are three-pole double-break
contactors with auxiliary switch with a 24V coil. In
ELS072, 090 and 120S4S, K1 energizes compressor B1.
In ELS120S4D, 150, 180 and 240 units, K1 and K2 energize compressors B1 and B2.
Condenser fan relays K10 and K149 are DPDT with a 24V
coil. In all units K10 energizes condenser fan B4 (fan 1) in
response to thermostat demand. In the ELS120S4D, 150,
180 and 240, K10 also energizes condenser fan B5 (fan 2)
In the ELS180 and 240 K149 energizes condenser fans B21
(fan 3) and B22 (fan 4) in response to thermostat demand.
Cooling relays K66 and K67 are N.O. DPDT relays. K66
is energized from ”Y1” (1st stage cool), which in turn energizes contactor K2. K67 is energized by ”Y2” (2nd stage
cool), which in turn energizes contactor K1. This sequence
is the start up of compressors B1 and B2.
B-COOLING COMPONENTS
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.
1 - Compressor
ALL ELS model units use scroll compressors. ELS072,
ELS090 and ELS120S4S models have one two-stage scroll
compressor. ELS120S4D, ELS150S4D, ELS180S4D and
ELS240S4D models have two single-stage scroll compressors.
Compressor consists of two involute spiral scrolls matched
together to generate a series of crescent shaped gas
pockets between them.
During compression, one scroll remains stationary while
the other scroll orbits around it.
Gas is drawn into the outer pocket, the pocket is sealed as
the scroll rotates.
As the spiral movement continues, gas pockets are
pushed to the center of the scrolls. Volume between the
pockets is simultaneously reduced.
When pocket reaches the center, gas is now high pressure and is forced out of a port located in the center of the
xed scrolls.
During compression, several pockets are compressed simultaneously resulting in a smooth continuous compression cycle.
Continuous ank contact, maintained by centrifugal force,
minimizes gas leakage and maximizes efciency.
Scroll compressor is tolerant to the effects of slugging and
contaminants. If this occurs, scrolls separate, allowing liquid or contaminants to be worked toward the center and
discharged.
Page 12
Page 13
Low gas pulses during compression reduces operational
sound levels.
Compressor motor is internally protected from excessive
current and temperature.
Compressor is installed in the unit on resilient rubber
mounts for vibration free operation.
Compressor B1 operates during all cooling demand and
is energized by contactor K1 upon receiving rst stage demand. Compressor B2 operates only during second stage
cooling demand, and is energized by contactor K2. See
ELECTRICAL section or compressor nameplate for com-
pressor specications.
ELS072, ELS090 and ELS120S4S Two Stage Models
A 24-volt DC solenoid valve inside the compressor controls
staging. When the 3-way solenoid is energized it moves
the lift ring assembly to block the ports and the compressor
operates at full-load or 100% capacity. When the solenoid
is de-energized the lift ring assembly moves to unblock the
compressor ports and the compressor operates at partload or approximately 67% of its full-load capacity.
The “loading” and “unloading” of the two stage scroll is
done “on the y” without shutting off the single-speed
All ELS series units use a belly-band type crankcase heater. Heater HR1 is wrapped around compressor B1 and
heater HR2 is wrapped around compressor B2. HR1 and
HR2 assure proper compressor lubrication at all times.
The high pressure switch is a manual-reset SPST N.C.
switch which opens on a pressure rise. The switch is located in the compressor discharge line and is wired in series with the compressor contactor coil. When discharge
pressure rises to 640 + 10 psig (4413 + 69 kP ) the switch
opens and the compressor is de-energized.
4 - Filter Drier (all units)
All ELS model units have a lter drier that is located in the
liquid line of each refrigerant circuit at the exit of each condenser coil. The drier removes contaminants and moisture
from the system.
See pages 2 and 3 for the specications on the condenser fans used in the ELS units. All condenser fans have
single- phase motors. The ELS072 and 090 units are
equipped with a single condenser fan. The ELS120 and
150 are equipped with two fans and the 180 and 240 have
four fans. The fan assembly may be removed for servicing
by removing the fan grill, unplugging the motor then loosening the motor bracket. The assembly will lift out.
6 - Loss of Charge Switch S24 & S25
The loss of charge switch is an auto-reset SPST N.C.
switch which opens on a pressure drop (almost a complete
loss of charge). All ELS units have S24 and the 120S4D
through 240 have S25. The switch is located in the liquid
line and wired in series with compressor contactor and
high pressure switch. S24 is wired in series with rst stage
cool and S25 is wired in series with second stage cool.
When pressure drops below 40+ 5 psig (indicating loss of
charge in the system) the switch opens and compressor
is de-energized. The switch automatically resets when refrigerant is added and pressure in the discharge line rises
above 90+ 5 psig.
7 - Head Pressure Control A190 & A191 and Pressure
Transducer A188 & A189
The low ambient kit is designed to maintain the head pressure across the liquid line by varying the condenser speed
fan.
Head pressure Control A190 (all units) and A191 (ELS180,
240) is used to set the desired liquid line pressure (315
psig in ELS units). The pressure transducer A190 (All
units) A191 (120S4D through 240) measures the liquid
line pressure sending an analog signal to the head pressure controller. If pressure falls below set point, the head
pressure controller reduces the fan speed to increase the
liquid line pressure to the set point.
II- REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
A-Plumbing
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and suction lines
connecting the condensing unit and the indoor unit. Liquid
and suction service valves are located in a compartment
at the corner of the unit below the control box. Piping can
be routed directly from the service valves or eld supplied
elbows can be added to divert the piping as required Refer
to table 1 for eld-fabricated refrigerant line sizes for runs
up to 50 linear feet (15 m).

Distances
You may install the unit in applications that have line set
lengths of up to 50 linear feet (15 m) with refrigerant line
sizes as outlined in table 1 (excluding equivalent length of
ttings). Size refrigerant lines greater than 50 linear feet
(15m or greater) according to the Lennox Refrigerant Piping Design and Fabrication Guidelines (Corp. 9351-L9) or
latest version.
B-Service Valves
OPERATING SERVICE VALVES
The liquid and suction line service valves are typically
used for removing refrigerant, ushing, leak testing, evacuating, checking charge and charging.
IMPORTANT
Only use Allen wrenches of sufcient 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.
Each valve is equipped with a service port which has a
factory-installed valve stem.

III-START-UP
The following is a general procedure and does not apply
to all thermostat control systems. Refer to sequence of
operation in this manual for more information.
IMPORTANT
Crankcase heaters must be energized for 24 hours before
attempting to start compressors. Set thermostat so there
is no compressor demand before closing disconnect
switch. Attempting to start compressors during the 24hour warm-up period could result in damage or failed
compressors.
1 - Set fan switch to AUTO or ON and move the system
selection switch to COOL. Adjust the thermostat to a
setting far enough below room temperature to bring
on compressors. Compressors will start and cycle
on demand from the thermostat (allowing for unit
and thermostat time delays).
2 - Each circuit is eld charged with HCFC-410A
refrigerant.
3 - Refer to Charging section for proper method of
checking and charging the system.

IMPORTANT
Three-phase scroll compressors must be phased
sequentially to ensure correct compressor rotation
and operation. At compressor start-up, a rise in
discharge and drop in suction pressures indicate proper
compressor phasing and operation. If discharge and
suctions pressures do not perform normally, follow the
steps below to correctly phase in the unit.
1 - Disconnect power to the unit.
2 - Reverse any two eld power leads (L1 and L3
preferred) to the unit.
3 - Reapply power to the unit.
Discharge and suction pressures should operate at their
normal start-up ranges.
NOTE - Compressor noise level will be signicantly higher when phasing is incorrect and the unit will not provide
cooling when compressor is operating backwards. Continued backward operation will cause the compressor to
cycle on internal protector.

WARNING
Possible equipment damage.
Avoid deep vacuum operation. Do not use compressors
to evacuate a system. Extremely low vacuum can cause
internal arcing and compressor failure. Damage caused
by deep vacuum operation will void warranty.
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.
Evacuating the system of non-condensables is critical for
proper operation of the unit. Non-condensables are dened 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.
NOTE - Remove cores from service valves if not already
done.
1 - Connect an HFC-410A manifold gauge set as
illustrated in gure 5.
2 - Open both manifold valves and start the vacuum
pump.
3 - Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to an absolute
pressure of 23,000 microns (29 inches of mercury).
NOTE - During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once to
determine if there is a rapid rise in pressure this 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.
4 - When the absolute pressure reaches 23,000
microns (29 inches of mercury), close the manifold
gauge valves, turn off the vacuum pump and
disconnect the manifold gauge center port hose
from vacuum pump. Attach the manifold center
port hose to a dry nitrogen cylinder with pressure
regulator set to 150 psig (1034 kPa) and purge the
hose. Open the manifold gauge valves to break the
vacuum in the line set and indoor unit. Close the
manifold gauge valves.
5 - Shut off the dry nitrogen cylinder and remove the
manifold gauge hose from the cylinder. Open the
manifold gauge valves to release dry nitrogen from
the line set and indoor unit.
6 - Reconnect the manifold gauge to vacuum pump,
turn pump on, and continue to evacuate line set and
indoor unit until the absolute pressure does not rise
above 500 microns within a 20-minute period after
shutting off vacuum pump and closing the manifold
gauge valves.
7 - 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 pressure line set to break vacuum with 2 to
5 psi.
8 - Perform the following:
A - Close manifold gauge valves
B - Shut off HFC-410A cylinder
C - Reinstall service valve cores by removing manifold
hose from service valve. Quickly install cores
with core tool while maintaining a positive system
pressure.
D - Replace the stem caps and secure nger tight, then
tighten an additional one-sixth (1/6) of a turn as
illustrated in gure 2.
C-Charging
ELS units have a factory holding charge of 2 pounds of
HFC-410A in each circuit. Additional refrigerant will need
to be added during installation (table 3).

If line set length is greater than 25 feet, add this amount
for 25ft
line set
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 meters) are not recommended. For assistance contact Lennox Application Department.
To check the charge, use the following procedure:
1 - Attach gauge manifolds and operate unit in cooling
mode until system stabilizes (approximately ve
minutes). Make sure outdoor air dampers are
closed.
2 - Use a thermometer to accurately measure the
outdoor ambient temperature.
3 - Apply the outdoor temperature to tables 5 and 6 to
determine normal operating pressures.
Page 18
Page 19
4 - Compare the normal operating pressures to
the pressures obtained from the gauges. 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. Correct any system problems before
proceeding.
5 - If discharge pressure is high, remove refrigerant
from the system. If discharge pressure is low, add
refrigerant to the system.
• Add or remove charge in increments.
• Allow the system to stabilize each time refrigerant is
added or removed.
CHARGE VERIFICATION - APPROACH METHOD
Use the following approach method along with the normal
operating pressures to conrm readings.
1 - Using the same thermometer, compare liquid
temperature at service valve to outdoor ambient
temperature.
Approach Temperature = Liquid temperature minus
ambient temperature
TABLE 5
HFC-410A Normal Operating Pressures (Liquid ±10 and Suction ±5 psig) (Single-Stage Units)**
2 - Approach temperature should as indicated in table
4 for each stage. An approach temperature greater
than this value indicates an undercharge. An
approach temperature less than this value indicates
an overcharge.
3 - Do not use the approach method if system pressures
do not match pressures in table 5 except when the
outdoor ambient temperature is below 65ºF (18ºC).
The approach method is not valid for grossly overor undercharged systems.
