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.
Table 1. Torque Requirements
Parts Recommended Torque
Service valve cap 8 ft.− lb. 11 NM
Sheet metal screws 16 in.− lb. 2 NM
Machine screws #10 28 in.− lb. 3 NM
Compressor bolts 90 in.− lb. 10 NM
Gauge port seal cap 8 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.

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:
A Start the existing HCFC−22 system in the cooling mode and close the liquid line valve. B Use 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.
C When the low side system pressures reach 0 psig, close the vapor line valve.
D Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that the valves are not allowing refrigerant to flow back into the low side of the system.

two sides may be 12 inches (305mm) and the final side may be 6 inches (152mm).
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.

See Unit Dimensions on page 2 for sizing mounting slab, platforms or supports. Refer to figure 3 for mandatory installation clearance requirements.
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 Brazing Connections 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
A Connect 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.
B With 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 Set and 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:
A With 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).
B Open 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.
C Connect a cylinder of dry nitrogen with a pressure regulating valve to the center port of the manifold gauge set.
D Adjust 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.
E After 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.
F After leak testing disconnect gauges from service ports.

EVACUATE THE SYSTEM
A Open both manifold valves and start the vacuum pump.
2
B Evacuate 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.
C When 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.
D Shut 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.
E Reconnect 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.
F 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 1 to 2 psig in order to release the vacuum in the line set and indoor unit.
G Perform 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.

THREE-PHASE SCROLL VOLTAGE PHASING
Three-phase scroll compressors must be phased sequentially to ensure correct compressor rotation and operation. Incorrect line voltage phasing may cause 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.

System Operation
SECOND−STAGE OPERATION
If the demand defrost control (A108) receives a call for second−stage compressor operation Y2 in heating or cooling mode and the first-stage compressor output is active, the second-stage compressor solenoid output will be energized.
If first-stage compressor output is active in heating mode and the outdoor ambient temperature is below the selected compressor lock−in temperature, the second-stage compressor solenoid output will be energized without the Y2 input. If the jumper is not connected to one of the temperature selection pins on P3 (40, 45, 50, 55°F), the default lock−in temperature of 40°F (4.5°C) will be used.
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 SensorThe 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 Line Temperature 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.
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.

Defrost System
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.

NOTE − When checking the ohms across a sensor, be aware that a sensor showing a resistance value that is not 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 ModeThe 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 uncalibrated with defrost timer set for 34 minutes.

Maintenance
DEALER
Outdoor Unit
1. Clean and inspect outdoor coil (may be flushed with a water hose). Ensure power is off before cleaning.
2. Outdoor unit fan motor is pre−lubricated and sealed. No further lubrication is needed.
3. Visually inspect all connecting lines, joints and coils for evidence of oil leaks.
4. Check all wiring for loose connections.
5. Check for correct voltage at unit (unit operating).
6. Check amp draw on outdoor fan motor. Motor Nameplate:_________ 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)

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.
