Unit Components6
CONTROL BOX
TPA*S4 units are not equipped with a 24V transformer. All
24 VAC controls are powered by the indoor unit. Refer to
wiring diagram.
Electrical openings are provided under the control box
cover. Field thermostat wiring is made to color-coded
pigtail connections.
COMPRESSOR CONTACTOR K1
The compressor is energized by a contactor located in the
control box as illustrated on Page 4. One or three−pole
contactors are used in this model. K1 is energized by the
indoor thermostat terminal Y1 (24V) when thermostat
demand is present.
CONDENSER FAN MOTOR B4 AND CAPACITOR C1
This model use a one−phase PSC fan motors which require a
run capacitor C1 located in the control box. Ratings for
C1 will be on fan motor nameplate. In all units, the
condenser fan is controlled by the compressor
contactor.

HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH S4
The manual−reset high pressure switch is located in the
liquid line. When liquid line pressure exceeds the factory
setting of 590 + 10 psi, the switch opens and shuts off the
compressor.
LOSS OF CHARGE SWITCH S24 (FIELD
INSTALLED OPTION)
The loss of charge switch is N.C. auto re−set and located
on the liquid line of the compressor. The switch opens
when liquid line pressure drops to 25 + 5 psig and shuts off
the compressor. The switch closes on a pressure rise at 55
+ 5 psig. The settings are factory set and cannot be
adjusted.
Access to the condenser fan motor on all units is gained
by removing the seven screws securing the fan
assembly as illustrated in Figure 1. The condenser fan
motor is removed from the fan guard by removing the
four nuts found on the top panel. Drip loops should be
used in wiring when servicing motor. See Figure 1 if
condenser fan motor replacement is necessary.
CRANKCASE HEATER HR1 AND OPTIONAL
THERMOSTAT S40
Crankcase heater HR1 prevents liquid from accumulating
in the compressor. HR1 is controlled by optional crankcase
heater thermostat S40, located on the liquid line. When
liquid line temperature drops below 50° F, S40 closes
energizing HR1. S40 opens when liquid line temperature
reaches 70°.

BI−FLOW DRIER
A filter drier designed for all TPA4*S4 model units is
located in the liquid line. The field installed drier is designed
to remove moisture, which can lead to compressor failure.
Any time unit is exposed to open air due to service,
drier must be replaced. All replacement driers must be
approved for HFC−410A refrigerant.
COMPRESSOR
All TPA*S4 units utilize a scroll compressor. The scroll
compressor design is simple, efficient and requires few
moving parts. A cutaway diagram of the scroll compressor is
illustrated in Figure 4. The scrolls are located in the top of the
compressor can and the motor is located just below. The oil
level is immediately below the motor.
The scroll is a simple compression concept centered around
the unique spiral shape of the scroll and its inherent
properties. Two identical scrolls are mated together forming
concentric spiral shapes as illustrated in Figure 5. One scroll
remains stationary, while the other is allowed to orbit. Note
that the orbiting scroll does not rotate or turn but merely orbits
the stationary scroll.
NOTE − During operation, the head of a scroll compressor
may be hot since it is in constant contact with discharge gas.

Page 7
The counterclockwise orbiting scroll draws gas into the outer
crescent shaped gas pocket created by the two scrolls as
illustrated in Figure 3, detail A. The centrifugal action of the
orbiting scroll seals off the flanks of the scrolls as illustrate din
Figure 3, detail B. As the orbiting motion continues, the gas is
forced toward the center of the scroll and the gas pocket
becomes compressed as illustrated in Figure 3, detail C.
When the compressed gas reaches the center, it is
discharged vertically into a chamber and discharge port in the
top of the compressor as illustrate in Figure 5. The discharge
pressure forcing down on the top scroll helps seal off the
upper and lower edges (tips) of the scrolls as illustrated in
Figure 5. During a single orbit, several pockets of gas are
compressed simultaneously providing smooth continuous
compression.
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.
See the Lennox Service and Application Notes #C−08−1
for further details and information.
The scroll compressor is tolerant to the effects of liquid
return. If liquid enters the scrolls, the orbiting scroll is allowed
to separate from the stationary scroll. The liquid is worked
toward the center of the scroll and is discharged. If the
compressor is replaced, conventional Lennox cleanup
practices must be used.
Due to its efficiency, the scroll compressor is capable of
drawing a much deeper vacuum than reciprocating
compressors. Deep vacuum operation can cause
internal fusite arcing resulting in damaged internal parts
and will result in compressor failure. Never use a scroll
compressor for evacuating or to pump system into a
vacuum. This type of damage can be detected and will
result in denial of warranty claims.
The scroll compressor is quieter than a reciprocating
compressor, however, the two compressors have much
different sound characteristics. The sounds made by a scroll
compressor do not affect system reliability, performance, or
indicate damage.
See compressor nameplate or ELECTRICAL DATA for
compressor specifications.

TORQUE REQUIREMENTS
When servicing or repairing heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning components, ensure the fasteners are
appropriately tightened. Table 1 lists torque values for
fasteners.
IMPORTANT
To prevent stripping of the various caps used, the
appropriately sized wrench should be used and fitted
snugly over the cap before tightening.
When servicing or repairing HVAC components, ensure
the fasteners are appropriately tightened. Table 1 provides
torque values for fasteners.

USING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
When checking the system charge, only use a manifold
gauge set that features low loss anti−blow back fittings.
Manifold gauge set used with HFC−410A refrigerant
systems must be capable of handling the 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 up to 800
psig of pressure with a 4000 psig burst rating.
OPERATING SERVICE VALVES
The liquid and vapor line service valves are used for
removing refrigerant, flushing, leak testing, evacuating,
checking charge and charging.
Each valve is equipped with a service port which has a
factory−installed valve stem. Figure 6 provides information
on how to access and operating both angle and ball service
valves.

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. 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 switches (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.

New or Replacement Line Set11
This section provides information on new installation or
replacement of existing line set. If a new or replacement
line set is not required, then proceed to BrazingConnections on Page 14.
If refrigerant lines are routed through a wall, 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.
Also, consider the following when placing and installing a
high−efficiency air conditioner:
REFRIGERANT LINE SET
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and suction lines
from the outdoor unit (braze connections) to the indoor unit

IMPORTANT
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.

TEST FOR LEAKS
After the line set has been connected to the indoor unit and air conditioner, check the line set connections and
2
indoor unit for leaks. Use the 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.

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), 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.
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:

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.
Check airflow using the Delta−T (DT) process using the illustration in Figure 14.
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
3. Determine if fan needs adjustment If the difference between the measured T

2 Measure outdoor ambient temperature; determine whether to use cooling mode or heating mode to
check charge.
3 Connect gauge set.
4 Check Liquid and Vapor line pressures. Compare pressures with Normal Operating Pressures in either
Table 5 or 6, (The reference table is a general guide. Expect minor pressure variations. Significantdifferences may mean improper charge or other system problem.)
5 Set thermostat for heat/cool demand, depending on mode being used:
Using cooling modeWhen the outdoor ambient temperature is 60°F (15°C) and above. Target
subcooling values in table below are based on 70 to 80°F (21−27°C) indoor return air temperature; if
necessary, operate heating to reach that temperature range; then set thermostat to cooling mode setpoint
to 68ºF (20ºC). When pressures have stabilized, continue with step 6.
Using heating modeWhen the outdoor ambient temperature is below 60°F (15°C). Target subcooling
values in table below are based on 65−75°F (18−24°C) indoor return air temperature; if necessary, operate
cooling to reach that temperature range; then set thermostat to heating mode setpoint to 77ºF (25ºC). When
pressures have stabilized, continue with step 6.
6 Read the liquid line temperature; record in the LIQº space.
7 Read the liquid line pressure; then find its corresponding temperature in the temperature/ pressure chart
listed in Table 7 and record it in the SATº space.
8 Subtract LIQº temp. from SATº temperature to determine subcooling; record it in SCº space.
9 Compare SCº results with either Table 3 or 4, being sure to note any additional charge for line set and/or
match−up.
10 If subcooling value is greater than shown in the below table for the applicable unit size, remove refrigerant;
if less than shown, add refrigerant.

System Operation21
The outdoor unit and indoor blower cycle on demand from
the room thermostat. If the thermostat blower switch is in
the ON position, the indoor blower operates continuously.
Filter Drier
The unit is equipped with a large−capacity biflow filter drier
which keeps the system clean and dry. If replacement is
necessary, order another of the same design and capacity.
The replacement filter drier must be suitable for use with
HFC−410A refrigerant.
Low Pressure Switch
The is equipped with an auto−reset low pressure switch
which is located on the vapor line. The switch shuts off the
compressor when the vapor pressure falls below the
factory setting. This switch, which is ignored during defrost
operation, closes at pressures at or above 40 psig and
opens at 25 psig. It is not adjustable.
High Pressure Switch
The is equipped with a manual-reset high pressure switch
(single−pole, single−throw) which is located on the liquid
line. The switch shuts off the compressor when discharge
pressure rises above the factory setting. The switch is
normally closed and is permanently adjusted to trip (open)
at 590 + 10 psig (4412 + 69 kPa).
NOTE − A Schrader core is under the pressure switches.
Defrost System22
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. 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 field 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 field adjustable intervals. If the defrost
thermostat is closed when the selected compressor run
time interval ends, the defrost relay is energized and
defrost begins.
Page 24
Defrost Control Timing Pins
Each timing pin selection provides a different
accumulated compressor run time period during one
thermostat run 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. (See
Figure 17 on page 25). The defrost timing jumper is
factory−installed to provide a 60−minute defrost interval.
If the timing selector jumper is not in place, the control
defaults to a 90−minute defrost interval. The maximum
defrost period is 14 minutes and cannot be adjusted.

Compressor Delay
The defrost board has a field−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 TEST pins are jumped.
Test Mode
A TEST option is provided for troubleshooting. See Figure
18 for this function.
Time Delay
The timed−off delay is five 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.
Diagnostic LEDs
The defrost board uses two LEDs for diagnostics. The
LEDs flash a specific sequence according to the diagnosis.
See Table 8.
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 (Figure 17). The
board also includes LO PS terminals to accommodate a
field−provided low (or loss-of-charge) pressure switch.
During a single thermostat cycle, the defrost control will
lock out the unit after the fifth 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 fifth occurrence of an
open pressure switch (see Table 8). 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
low pressure switch terminals during the TEST mode,
during the defrost cycle, during the 90−second start−up
period, and for the first 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 inefficient
operation.
IMPORTANT
NOTE − After testing has been completed, properly reposition test jumper across desired timing pins.

TEST
Placing the jumper on the field test pins allows the technician to:
SClear short cycle lockout
SClear five−strike fault lockout
SCycle the unit in and out of defrost mode
SPlace the unit in defrost mode to clear the coil
When Y1 is energized and 24V power is being applied to the Control, a test cycle can be initiated by placing a jumper on the Control’s TEST pins for 2 to
5 seconds. If the jumper remains on the TEST pins for longer than five seconds, the Control will ignore the jumpered TEST pins and revert to normal
operation.
The Control will initiate one test event each time a jumper is placed on the TEST pins. For each TEST the jumper must be removed for at least one
second and then reapplied.
Y1 Active
Place a jumper on TEST pins for
longer than one second but less
than two seconds.
Clears any short cycle lockout and
five strike fault lockout function, if
applicable. No other functions will be
executed and unit will continue in the
mode it was operating.
If in COOLING Mode
No further test mode operation will be
executed until the jumper is removed
from the TEST pins and reapplied.
Place a jumper on TEST pins for
more than two seconds.
Clears any short cycle lockout and
five strike fault lockout function, if
applicable.
ACTIVE
O Line Status
If in DEFROST Mode
The unit will terminate defrost and
enter HEAT MODE uncalibrated
with defrost timer set for 34 minute
test.
INACTIVE
If in HEATING Mode
If no ambient or coil sensor exist, unit
will go into DEFROST MODE.
If ambient or coil faults exist (open or
shorted), unit will remain in HEAT
MODE.
NOTE Placing a jumper on the TEST pins will not bring the unit
out of inactive mode. The only way manually activate the heat
pump from an inactive mode is to cycle the 24VAC power to the
Control.
If jumper on TEST pins remains in
place for more than five seconds.
The unit will return to HEAT MODE
un−calibrated with defrost timer set
for 34 minutes.

6. Inspect drain holes in coil compartment base and
clean if necessary.
NOTE - If insufficient heating or 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.
Indoor Unit
1. Clean or change filters.
2. Lennox blower motors are prelubricated and
permanently sealed. No more lubrication is needed.
