MeritR Series Thermostat
The Lennox Merit® Series Thermostat 51M32 is a nonprogrammable electronic thermostat that is easy-to-use and
has a large, easy-to-read display and excellent temperature control. The thermostat also includes a programmable
filter change reminder and a system check indicator. The
system check indicator will notify the user of the need for
equipment service.
Thermostat 51M32 is suitable for non-heat pump, single−
stage heat/single cool applications that are matched with a
gas or electric furnace.
General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
Check equipment for shipping damage. If you find any
damage, immediately contact the last carrier.
Introduction
This document describes the operation of Lennox thermostat
51M32. Refer to the installation manual for instructions regarding installation and wiring of the thermostat.

NOTE − The balance point is only available with the outdoor sensor.
If the optional outdoor sensor (X2658) is connected to the

source.
Use the SETTINGS button to access the balance point setting. If the outdoor sensor is attached to the thermostat,
press the SETTINGS button twice to access the Balance

The balance point can be set at any temperature between
1°F and 55°F (−17°C to 13°C). A balance point setting of
zero disables the balance point function (in this case, the
thermostat behaves as if no outdoor sensor is attached).
The default balance point setting is 55°F.
To adjust the balance point up or down, press the UP or
DOWN arrow keys to the right of the display screen. The
balance point setting will increase by 1°F each time the UP
key is pressed. The balance point setting will decrease by
1°F each time the DOWN key is pressed.
After the desired balance point is reached, the HOME
screen will reappear after about eight seconds.
NOTE − The balance point feature allows the temperature
to rise or fall 3°F above or below the setpoint. This prevents
excessive cycling of the equipment when the outdoor temperature is near the balance point. For example, if the balance point is 40°F and the actual outdoor temperature is
35°F, the outdoor temperature must rise to 43°F before
equipment adjustment occurs. Conversely, if the balance
point is 40°F and the actual outdoor temperature is 45°F,
the outdoor temperature must drop to 37°F before equipment adjustment occurs.
Service Indicator
When abnormal equipment operation is detected, the

Electric or gas furnace, selectable via DIP switch #5 (Aux or
Dual, respectively). See also Thermostat Output section.
I/O Relays
All thermostat relays are latching type to minimize power
consumption. See table 2.

Equipment Protection Timers
Minimum Compressor OFF time: 5 minutes
Minimum Compressor ON time: 4 minutes
Minimum Furnace ON time: 3 minutes
Minimum backup furnace cycle time (elapsed time between any furnace activation and the next furnace activation): 6 minutes.
Minimum elapsed time between any compressor activation
and the next compressor activation: 6 minutes.
NOTE − All protection timers (except the compressor OFF
timer) can be over−ridden if a heating or cooling demand is
initiated or terminated using the UP, DOWN, HEAT, or
COOL buttons.
Equipment Protection Override
Both the minimum compressor OFF timer and the minimum equipment cycle timer can be over−ridden by pressing and holding either the HEAT or COOL button down for 4
seconds.
Over−Temperature Protection
Thermal mechanical switch opens W1 at 93°F+/−6°F.
Filter Reminder
Settings of 0 (Off), 1, 3, 6 or 12 months are available. When
programmed time has elapsed, a FILTER indicator is displayed.
Balance Point
0°F (OFF) to 55°F, user selectable.

Service Reminder
The SERVICE indicator is displayed only under the following conditions:
if the thermostat Y1 terminal has been activated
with 24VAC for at least 5 minutes, AND the L
terminal is shorted to the R terminal;
OR
if the thermostat Y1 terminal has been activated
with 24VAC for at least 5 minutes, AND the L
terminal is shorted to the C terminal.
Power Loss/Recovery
Thermostat memory is retained for a minimum of 24 hours
during a power loss (includes retention of programmed
temperature setpoint, heat/cool and fan mode settings, filter reminder status, and equipment protection timers). After 24 hours of power loss, programmed settings will be lost
and replaced with default settings.
IMPORTANT
Power must be applied for at least six consecutive
hours prior to a power loss in order for memory to be
retained for the specified time.
LCD Backlight
Activated for 8 seconds when any key is pressed.
NOTE − During an electrical storm or similar disturbance,
the backlight may activate for a few seconds. This is normal
and will no longer occur after the electrical disturbance has
passed.
Thermostat Operating Conditions
35°F to 105°F, 5% to 90% RH
Thermostat Storage Conditions
−40°F to 185°F, 5% to 95% RH

NOTE −
X = output is activated with 24VAC
dc: does not care (output can be in either state, i.e., either active or inactive)
BBP: outdoor temperature is below balance point
ABP: outdoor temperature is above balance point
small heat demand: temperature is between (setpoint − 1.5°F) and (setpoint − 0.5°F), and 30-minute upstage
timer has not expired (see Normal Heat Mode graph)
large heat demand: temperature is below (setpoint − 1.5°F), or 30-minute upstage timer has expired (see Nor-
mal Heat Mode graph)
the state of the B terminal is opposite the state of the O terminal.
data above are tabulated for AUTO fan setting. If fan setting is ON, the fan is activated in all cases.
