CAUTION
IMPORTANT
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.
Operating Gauge Set and Service Valves
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
who have jurisdiction before installation.
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
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.
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.

Sheet metal screws16 in.− lb.2 NM
Machine screws #1028 in.− lb.3 NM
Compressor bolts90 in.− lb.10 NM
Gauge port seal cap8 ft.− lb.11 NM
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 2 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:
Outdoor unit’s high or low−pressure switches (if applicable) when tripped can cycle the compressor OFF.
Compressor can stop pumping due to tripped internal pressure relief valve.
Compressor 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.

DETAIL B
These units operate under a wide range of weather conditions;
therefore, several factors must be considered when positioning the
outdoor unit. The unit must be positioned to give adequate clearances
for sufficient airflow and servicing.
Install unit level or, if on a slope, maintain slope tolerance of 2
degrees (or 2 inches per 5 feet [50 mm per 1.5 m]) away from
building structure.
Install the unit high enough above the ground or roof to allow
adequate drainage of defrost water and prevent ice or snow
build−up.
In heavy snow areas, do not locate the unit where drifting will
occur. The unit base should be elevated above the depth of
average snows. Stand−off kits are available for ordering using
either catalog numbers 94J45 (4 each) or 30K79 (20 each).
When installed in areas where low ambient temperatures exist,
locate unit so winter prevailing winds do not blow directly onto
outdoor unit.
Locate unit away from overhanging roof lines which would allow
water or ice to drop on, or in front of, coil or unto unit.

CAUTION
In order to avoid injury, take proper precaution when lifting heavy objects.
POSITIONING CONSIDERATIONS
Consider the following when positioning the unit:
Some 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.
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
coil (flare or braze connections). Use Lennox L15 (braze,
non−flare) series line set, or use field−fabricated refrigerant
lines as listed in table 2.
IMPORTANT
When 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 4.
OUTDOOR UNIT ON SLAB
When installing a unit at grade level, the top of the slab
should be high enough above the grade so that water from
higher ground would not collect around the unit as
illustrated in figure 4.
Slab may be level or have a slope tolerance away from the
building of not more than two degrees, or 2 inches per 5
feet (51 mm per 1524 mm) as illustrated in figure 4.
ROOF MOUNTING
Install the unit at a minimum of 4 inches (102 mm) above
the surface of the roof. Ensure the weight of the unit is
properly distributed over roof joists and rafters. Redwood
or steel supports are recommended. Refer to figure 4,
detail c, for rooftop wind barrier considerations.
NOTICE
Roof Damage!
This system contains both refrigerant and oil. Some
rubber roofing material may absorb oil and cause the
rubber to swell when it comes into contact with oil. The
rubber will then bubble and could cause leaks. Protect
the roof surface to avoid exposure to refrigerant and oil
during service and installation. Failure to follow this
notice could result in damage to roof surface.
New or Replacement Line Set
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 10.
Mineral oils are not compatible with HFC−410A. If oil
must be added, it must be a Polyol ester oil.
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 EMKARATE RL32CF.
NOTE When installing refrigerant lines longer than 50
feet, see the Lennox Refrigerant Piping Design and
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 points:
Model (TPA*H4) and size of unit (e.g. −060).
Line set diameters for the unit being installed as listed
in table 2 and total length of installation.
Number of elbows and if there is a rise or drop of the
piping.
MATCHING WITH NEW OR EXISTING INDOOR COIL
AND LINE SET
The RFC1−metering line consisted of a small bore copper
line that ran from condenser to evaporator coil. Refrigerant
was metered into the evaporator by utilizing
temperature/pressure evaporation effects on refrigerant in
the small RFC line. The length and bore of the RFC line
corresponded to the size of cooling unit.
If the TPA*H4 is being used with either a new or existing
indoor coil which is equipped with a liquid line which served
as a metering device (RFCI), the liquid line must be
replaced prior to the installation of the TPA*H4 unit.
Typically a liquid line used to meter flow is 1/4" in diameter
and copper.

IMPORTANT
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.
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.
Brazing Connections
Use the procedures outline in figures 6 and 7 for brazing
line set connections to service valves.
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
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.
IMPORTANT
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.
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).
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
flame, can cause fire and/or an explosion, that could result in property
damage, personal injury or death.

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.
After completing the leak testing the line set and indoor coil
as outlined in figure 10, proceed to Evacuating Line Setand Indoor Coil on page 16.
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:
Close manifold gauge valves
Close valve on vacuum pump
Turn off vacuum pump
Disconnect manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump
Attach manifold center port hose to a dry nitrogen cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig (1034 kPa) and purge the hose.
Open manifold gauge valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor unit.
Close 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:
Close manifold gauge valves.
Shut off HFC−410A cylinder.
Reinstall service valve cores by removing manifold hose from service valve. Quickly install cores with core
tool while maintaining a positive system pressure.
Replace stem caps and secure finger tight, then tighten an additional one−sixth (1/6) of a turn as illustrated.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Electrical
In the U.S.A., wiring must conform with current local codes
and the current National Electric Code (NEC). In Canada,
wiring must conform with current local codes and the current
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).

compressor damage and abnormal unit operation. Power
wires are color-coded as follows: Line 1 − red, line 2 − yellow,
line 3 − blue.
To test for proper rotation and operation:
1. Install manifold gauge set on system. Cycle compressor
ON and observe that suction pressure decreases and
discharge pressure increases.
2. If pressures do not follow the above conditions,
disconnect all power to unit. Reverse any two
field−installed main power wires to the line side of the
compressor contactor. Make sure connections are tight.
Repeat pressure test with system.
Color−coded with a minimum
temperature rating of 35ºC.

3 Connect gauge set.
4 Check Liquid and Vapor line pressures. Compare pressures with Normal Operating
Pressures table 6, (Table 6 is a general guide. Expect minor pressure variations.Significant differences 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 table 7) and record it in the SATº space.
8 Subtract LIQº temp. from SATº temp. to determine subcooling; record it in SCº space.

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.
UNIT COMPONENTS
High Pressure Switch (S4)
When the high pressure switch trips, the demand defrost
control will cycle off the compressor, and the strike counter
in the demand defrost control will count one strike. High
Pressure (auto reset) − trip at 590 psig, reset at 418.
Low Pressure Switch (S87)
When the low pressure switch trips, the demand defrost
control will cycle off the compressor, and the strike counter
in the demand defrost control will count one strike. Low
pressure switch (auto reset) − trip at 25 psig, reset at 40
psig.
The low pressure switch is ignored under the following
conditions:
During the defrost cycle and 90 seconds after the
termination of defrost
When the average ambient sensor temperature is
below 15° F (−9°C)
For 90 seconds following the start up of the
compressor
During test mode
Ambient Sensor (RT13)
The ambient sensor considers outdoor temperatures
below −35°F (−37°C) or above 120°F (48°C) as a fault. If the
ambient sensor is detected as being open, shorted or out
of the temperature range of the sensor, the demand
defrost control will not perform demand defrost operation.
The demand defrost control will revert to time/temperature
defrost operation and will display the appropriate fault
code. Heating and cooling operation will be allowed in this
fault condition.
Coil Sensor (RT21)
Coil SensorThe coil temperature sensor considers
outdoor temperatures below −35°F (−37°C) or above 120°F
(48°C) as a fault. If the coil temperature sensor is detected
as being open, shorted or out of the temperature range of
the sensor, the demand defrost control will not perform
demand or time/temperature defrost operation and will
display the appropriate fault code. Heating and cooling
operation will be allowed in this fault condition.
High Discharge Temperature Sensor (RT28)
If the discharge line temperature exceeds a temperature of
285°F (140°C) during compressor operation, the demand
defrost 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 225°F (107°C) and the 5-minute anti−short cycle
delay has been satisfied. This sensor has two fault and
lockout codes:
1. If the demand defrost control recognizes five high
discharge line temperature faults during a single (Y1)
compressor demand, it reverts to a lockout mode and
displays the appropriate code. This code detects
shorted sensor or high discharge temperatures. Code
on demand defrost control is Discharge LineTemperature Fault and Lockout.
2. If the demand defrost control recognizes five
temperature sensor range faults during a single (Y1)
506650−01
Page 26
Page 27
compressor demand, it reverts to a lockout mode and
displays the appropriate code. The demand defrost
control detects open 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 seconds, the demand defrost control will count
one fault. After five faults, the demand defrost control
will lockout. Code on demand defrost control is
Discharge Sensor Fault and Lockout.
The discharge line sensor, which covers a range of 150°F
(65°C) to 350°F (176°C), is designed to mount on a ½"
refrigerant discharge line.
NOTE − Within a single room thermostat demand, if
5−strikes occur, the demand defrost control will lockout the
unit. demand defrost control 24 volt power R must be
cycled OFF or the TEST pins on demand defrost control
must be shorted between 1 to 2 seconds to reset the
demand defrost control.
Crankcase Heater (HR1) and Crankcase Thermostat
(S40)
The reference models are equipped with a 70 watt, belly
band type crankcase heater. HR1 prevents liquid from
accumulating in the compressor. HR1 is controlled by a
thermostat located on the liquid line. When liquid line
temperature drops below 50° F the thermostat closes
energizing HR1. The thermostat will open, de−energizing
HR1 once liquid line temperature reaches 70° F .
Internal Solenoid (L34)
The internal unloader solenoid controls the two−stage
operation of the compressor by shifting a slide ring
mechanism to open two by−pass ports in the first
compression pocket of the scrolls in the compressor. The
internal solenoid is activated by a 24 volt direct current
solenoid coil. The coil power requires 20VAC. The internal
wires from the solenoid in the compressor are routed to a 2
pin fusite connection on the side of the compressor shell.
The external electrical connection is made to the
compressor with a molded plug assembly. This plug
contains a full wave rectifier that converts 24 volt AC into
24 volt DC power to power the unloader solenoid. Refer to
unit diagram for internal circuitry view of plug).
Outdoor Fan Relay (K10) (G Voltage Only)
Outdoor fan relay K10 is used on all G and voltage units to
energize the outdoor fan B4. The relay is located in the
control box and is a single−pole double−throw relay. See
figure 3. K10 is energized by the indoor thermostat
terminal Y1 (24V). When K10 is energized, a set of N.O.
contacts closes to energize the outdoor fan.
Liquid Line Bi−Flow 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 like design and capacity. The
replacement filter drier must be suitable for use with
HFC−410A refrigerant.

Demand Defrost Control (A108)
The demand defrost control measures differential temperatures to detect when the system is performing poorly because of
ice build−up on the outdoor coil. The controller self−calibrates when the defrost system starts and after each system defrost
cycle. The demand defrost control components are shown in figure 22.

EMERGENCY HEAT (AMBER LIGHT)
An emergency heat function is designed into some room
thermostats. This feature is applicable when isolation of the
outdoor unit is required, or when auxiliary electric heat is
staged by outdoor thermostats. When the room thermostat is
placed in the emergency heat position, the outdoor unit
control circuit is isolated from power and field-provided relays
bypass the outdoor thermostats. An amber indicating light
simultaneously comes on to remind the homeowner that he
is operating in the emergency heat mode.
Emergency heat is usually used during an outdoor unit
shutdown, but it should also be used following a power
outage if power has been off for over an hour and the
outdoor temperature is below 50°F (10°C). System should
be left in the emergency heat mode at least six hours to
allow the crankcase heater sufficient time to prevent
compressor slugging.
The demand defrost control de−energizes the
second-stage compressor solenoid output immediately
when the Y2 signal is removed or the outdoor ambient
temperature is 5°F above the selected compressor lock−in
temperature, or the first-stage compressor output is
de−energized for any reason.
DEFROST SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The control monitors ambient temperature, outdoor coil
temperature, and total run time to determine when a
defrost cycle is required. The coil temperature probe is
designed with a spring clip to allow mounting to the outside
coil tubing. The location of the coil sensor is important for
proper defrost operation.
NOTE − The demand defrost control accurately measures
the performance of the system as frost accumulates on the
outdoor coil. This typically will translate into longer running
time between defrost cycles as more frost accumulates on
the outdoor coil before the demand defrost control initiates
defrost cycles.
Demand Defrost Control Pressure Switch
Connections
The unit’s automatic reset pressure switches (LO PS − S87
and HI PS − S4) are factory−wired into the demand defrost
control on the LO−PS and HI−PS terminals, respectively.
Pressure Switch 5−Strike Lockout
The internal control logic of the demand defrost control
counts the pressure switch trips only while the Y1 (Input)
line is active. If a pressure switch opens and closes four
times during a Y1 (Input), the control logic will reset the
pressure switch trip counter to zero at the end of the Y1
(Input). If the pressure switch opens for a fifth time during
the current Y1 (Input), the control will enter a lockout
condition.
The 5−strike pressure switch lockout condition can be reset
by cycling OFF the 24−volt power to the demand defrost
control or by shorting the TEST pins between 1 to 2
seconds. All timer functions (run times) will also be reset.
If a pressure switch opens while the Y1 Out line is
engaged, a 5−minute short cycle will occur after the switch
closes.
Defrost System Sensors
Sensors connect to the demand defrost control through a
field-replaceable harness assembly that plugs into the
demand defrost control as illustrated in figure 22. Through
the sensors, the demand defrost control detects outdoor
ambient, coil, and discharge temperature fault conditions.
As the detected temperature changes, the resistance
across the sensor changes. Sensor resistance values can
be checked by ohming across pins shown in table 11.

within the range shown in table 11, 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.

Defrost Temperature Termination Shunt (Jumper)
Pins (P1)
The demand defrost control selections are: 50, 70, 90, and
100°F (10, 21, 32 and 38°C). The shunt termination pin is
factory set at 50°F (10°C). If temperature shunt is not
installed, default termination temperature is 90°F (32°C).
Compressor Delay Mode (P5)
The demand defrost control 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 a jumper is
installed on the DELAY pins, the compressor will be cycled
off for 30 seconds going in and out of the defrost mode.
Units are shipped with jumper installed on DELAY pins.
NOTE − The 30 second off cycle is NOT functional when
jumpering the TEST pins.
OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The demand defrost control has three basic operational
modes: calibration, normal and defrost.
1. Calibration Mode The demand defrost control is
considered uncalibrated when power is applied to the
demand defrost control, after cool mode operation, or
if the coil temperature exceeds the termination
temperature when it is in heat mode (see figure 23 for
further details).
2. Normal Mode The demand defrost control
monitors the O line, to determine the system operating
mode (heat/cool), outdoor ambient temperature, coil
temperature (outdoor coil) and compressor run time to
determine when a defrost cycle is required.
Calibration of the demand defrost control occurs after
a defrost cycle to ensure that there is no ice on the coil.
During calibration, the temperature of both the coil and
the ambient sensor are measured to establish the
temperature differential which is required to allow a
defrost cycle.
3. Defrost ModeThe following paragraphs provide a
detailed description of the defrost system operation.
TEST MODE
Each test pin shorting will result in one test event. For
each TEST the shunt (jumper) must be removed for at
least one second and reapplied. Refer to flow chart (figure
24) for TEST operation.
Note: The Y1 input must be active (ON) and the O room
thermostat terminal into demand defrost control must be
inactive.
DETAILED DEFROST SYSTEM OPERATION
The demand defrost control initiates a defrost cycle based
on either frost detection or time.
1. Frost Detection If the compressor runs longer than
30 minutes and the actual difference between the clear
coil and frosted coil temperatures exceeds the
maximum difference allowed by the demand defrost
control, a defrost cycle will be initiated.
2. Time If six hours of heating mode compressor run
time has elapsed since the last defrost cycle while the
coil temperature remains below 35°F (2°C), the
demand defrost control will initiate a defrost cycle.
3. Actuation When the reversing valve is
de−energized, the Y1 circuit is energized, and the coil
temperature is below 35°F (2°C), the demand defrost
control logs the compressor run time. If the demand
defrost control is not calibrated, a defrost cycle will be
initiated after 30 minutes of heating mode compressor
run time. The control will attempt to self−calibrate after
this (and all other) defrost cycle(s).
Calibration success depends on stable system
temperatures during the 20−minute calibration period.
If the demand defrost control fails to calibrate, another
defrost cycle will be initiated after 45 minutes of
heating mode compressor run time. Once the demand
defrost control is calibrated, it initiates a demand
defrost cycle when the difference between the clear
coil and frosted coil temperatures exceeds the
maximum difference allowed by the control or after six
hours of heating mode compressor run time has been
logged since the last defrost cycle.
4. Termination The defrost cycle ends when the coil
temperature exceeds the termination temperature or
after 14 minutes of defrost operation. If the defrost is
terminated by the 14−minute timer, another defrost
cycle will be initiated after 30 minutes of run time.

TEST
Placing the jumper on the field test pins (P1) allows the technician to:
Clear short cycle lockout
Clear five−strike fault lockout
Cycle the unit in and out of defrost mode
Place 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 45 minute
test.
INACTIVE
If in HEATING Mode
If no ambient or coil sensor fault
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.

MotorNameplate:_________ Actual:__________.
7. 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
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)
Outdoor Coil The outdoor coil may be flushed with
a water hose.
Outdoor Coil (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.
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 amp 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.

OWNER
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.
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.
Please contact your dealer to schedule proper
inspection and maintenance for your equipment.
Make sure no obstructions restrict airflow to the
outdoor unit.
Grass clippings, leaves, or shrubs crowding the unit
can cause the unit to work harder and use more
energy.
Keep 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.
NOTE If you are unsure about the filter required for your
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. 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 thermostat homeowner manual for instructions on
how to operate your thermostat.
Heat Pump Operation
Your new Lennox heat pump has several characteristics
that you should be aware of:
Heat pumps satisfy heating demand by delivering
large amounts of warm air into the living space. This
is quite different from gas- or oil-fired furnaces or an
electric furnace which deliver lower volumes of
considerably hotter air to heat the space.
Do not be alarmed if you notice frost on the outdoor coil
in the winter months. Frost develops on the outdoor
coil during the heating cycle when temperatures are
below 45F (7C). An electronic control activates a
defrost cycle lasting 5 to 15 minutes at preset intervals
to clear the outdoor coil of the frost.
During the defrost cycle, you may notice steam rising
from the outdoor unit. This is a normal occurrence. The
thermostat may engage auxiliary heat during the
defrost cycle to satisfy a heating demand; however,
the unit will return to normal operation at the
conclusion of the defrost cycle.
Extended Power Outage
The heat pump is equipped with a compressor crankcase
heater which protects the compressor from refrigerant
slugging during cold weather operation.
If power to your unit has been interrupted for several hours
or more, set the room thermostat selector to the
EMERGENCY HEAT setting to obtain temporary heat
without the risk of serious damage to the heat pump.
In EMERGENCY HEAT mode, all heating demand is
satisfied by auxiliary heat; heat pump operation is locked
out. After a six-hour compressor crankcase warm-up
period, the thermostat can be switched to the HEAT setting
and normal heat pump operation may resume.
Preservice Check
If your system fails to operate, check the following before
calling for service:
Verify room thermostat settings are correct.
Verify that all electrical disconnect switches are ON.
Check for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.
Verify unit access panels are in place.
Verify air filter is clean.
If service is needed, locate and write down the unit
model number and have it handy before calling.

Cleaning Outdoor Coil
1. Make sure power is off before cleaning. Clean and
inspect outdoor coil. The coil may be flushed with a
water hose.
Page 37
TPA*H4 SERIES
Page 38
2. The outdoor coil is protected by an inner mesh screen
and a wire cage (see figure 25). If debris has collected
between the mesh screen and the coil and cannot be
dislodged by spraying unpressurized water from
inside coil surface to the outside, the mesh may be
removed by first removing the top of the unit which will
allow for removal of the wire cage.
3. Then, using pliers to grip the head of the push pins, pull
straight out to extract the push pins along one side of
the coil. If necessary, remove the push pins along the
back of the unit; it is usually unnecessary to fully
remove the inner mesh screen.
4. Drape the mesh screen back and wash the coil. When
all the debris has been removed from the coil, reinstall
the mesh screen by positioning it in its original position
and reinserting the push pin. No tool is required to
push the pin back into the same slot in the fins.
5. If the push pin is loose and tends not to stay in place,
brush the fins with a fin brush (22 fins/in). Line up the
push pin a couple fins to the right or left of the original
hole and re−insert the pin.
