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.

IMPORTANT
To prevent stripping of the various caps used, the
appropriately sized wrench should be used and fitted
snugly over the cap before tightening.
OPERATING SERVICE VALVES
The liquid and vapor line service valves are used for
refrigerant recovery, flushing, leak testing, evacuating,
weighing in refrigerant and optimizing system charge.
Each valve is equipped with a service port which has a
factory−installed valve core. Figure 2 provides information
on how to access and operate both angle− and ball−type
service valves.
Operating Angle−Type Service Valve:
1. Remove stem cap with an appropriately sized wrench.
2. Use a service wrench with a hex−head extension (3/16" for liquid line valve sizes and 5/16"
for vapor line valve sizes) to back the stem out counterclockwise as far as it will go to open
the service valve.

Remove existing HCFC−22 refrigerant using one of the following procedures:
METHOD 1:
Use Method 1 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.
Recover all HCFC−22 refrigerant from the existing system using a recovery
machine and clean recovery cylinder. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm
that the entire system is completely void of refrigerant.
METHOD 2:
Use Method 2 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.
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.
CONNECT MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Connect a manifold gauge set, clean recovery cylinder and a
2
recovery machine to the service ports of the existing unit..
NOTE Use the recovery machine instructions to make
the correct manifold gauge set connections for recovery
refrigerant. The illustration below is a typical connection.

METHOD 2 LIMITATIONS
NOTE When using Method 2, the listed devices
below 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 any of the above mentioned 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.

Figure 3. Refrigerant Recovery
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.
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.

New Outdoor Unit Placement
CAUTION
In order to avoid injury, take proper precaution when lifting heavy objects.
Remove existing outdoor unit prior to placement of new
outdoor unit. See Unit Dimensions on page 2 for sizing
mounting slab, platforms or supports. Refer to figure 4 for
mandatory installation clearance requirements.
POSITIONING CONSIDERATIONS
Consider the following when positioning the unit:
SSome 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.
SWhen 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 5,
detail A.
PLACING UNIT ON SLAB
When installing unit at grade level, the top of the slab
should be high enough above grade so that water from
higher ground will not collect around the unit. The slab
should have a slope tolerance as described in figure 5,
detail B.
NOTE If necessary for stability, anchor unit to slab as
described in figure 5, detail D.
ELEVATING THE UNIT
Units are outfitted with elongated support feet as illustrated
in figure 5, detail C.
If additional elevation is necessary, raise the unit by
extending the height of the unit support feet. This may be
achieved by using a 2 inch (50.8mm) schedule 40 female
threaded adapter.
The specified coupling will fit snuggly into the recessed
portion of the feet. Use additional 2 inch (50.8mm)
Schedule 40 male threaded adaptors which can be
threaded into the female threaded adaptors to make
additional adjustments to the level of the unit.
NOTE Keep the height of extenders short enough to
ensure a sturdy installation. If it is necessary to extend
further, consider a different type of field−fabricated
framework that is sturdy enough for greater heights.
ROOF MOUNTING
Install the unit a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) above the
roof surface to avoid ice build−up around the unit. Locate
the unit above a load bearing wall or area of the roof that
can adequately support the unit. Consult local codes for
rooftop applications. See figure 5, detail F for other roof top
mounting 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.

WARNING
To prevent personal injury, or damage to panels, unit or structure, be sure to observe the following:
While installing or servicing this unit, carefully stow all removed panels out of the way, so that the panels will not cause
injury to personnel, nor cause damage to objects or structures nearby, nor will the panels be subjected to damage (e.g.,
being bent or scratched).
While handling or stowing the panels, consider any weather conditions, especially windy conditions, that may cause
panels to be blown around and battered.

SNew or replacement line set installation
SUsing existing line set.
ADDING POLYOL ESTER OIL REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT
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
(POE) for line set lengths up to 50 feet. Recommend
adding oil to system based on the amount of refrigerant
charge in the system. Systems with 20 pounds or less of
refrigerant required no oil to be added.
For systems over 20 pounds − add one ounce for every five
(5) pounds of HFC−410A refrigerant.
Recommended topping−off POE oils are Mobil EAL
ARCTIC 22 CC or ICI EMKARATEt RL32CF.
NEW OR REPLACEMENT LINE SET INSTALLATION
Field refrigerant piping consists of both liquid and vapor
lines from the outdoor unit to the indoor coil. Use Lennox
L15 (sweat, non−flare) series line set, or field−fabricated
refrigerant line sizes as specified in table 2.
If refrigerant lines are routed through a wall, then 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. See figure 7 for recommended
installation practices.
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 information:

SNumber of elbows vertical rise or drop in the piping.
USING EXISTING LINE SET
Things to consider:
SLiquid line that meter the refrigerant, such as RFC1
liquid line, must not be used in this application.
SExisting line set of proper size as listed in table 2 may
be reused.
SIf system was previously charged with HCFC−22
refrigerant, then existing line set must be flushed (see
Flushing Line Set and Indoor Coil on page 14).
If existing line set is being used, then proceed to BrazingConnections on page 11.
IMPORTANT
Lennox highly recommends changing line set when
converting the existing system from HCFC−22 to
HFC−410A. If that is not possible and the line set is the
proper size as reference in table 2, use the procedure
outlined under Flushing Line Set and Indoor Coil on page
13.
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 8 and 9 for brazing line set connections to service valves.
WARNING
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.
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).
IMPORTANT
Allow braze joint to cool before removing the wet rag
from the service valve. Temperatures above 250ºF can
damage valve seals.
IMPORTANT
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.
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.

Installing New Indoor Metering Device
This outdoor unit is designed for use in HFC−410A systems that use a check / expansion valve metering device (purchased
separately) at the indoor coil.
See the Lennox XP16 Engineering Handbook for approved check / expansion valve kit match−ups. The check / expansion
valve device can be installed either internal or external to the indoor coil. In applications where an uncased coil is being
installed in a field−provided plenum, install the check / expansion valve in a manner that will provide access for field servicing
of the check / expansion valve (see figure 11).

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 following procedure to test for leaks:
1. 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).
2. 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

4. 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.
5. 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.
6. After leak testing disconnect gauges from service
ports.

Evacuating Line Set and Indoor Coil
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.

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), perform the following:
SClose manifold gauge valves
SClose valve on vacuum pump and turn off vacuum pump
SDisconnect manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump
SAttach manifold center port hose to a dry nitrogen cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig (1034 kPa) and purge the hose.
SOpen manifold gauge valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor unit.
SClose 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:
SClose manifold gauge valves.
SShut off HFC−410A cylinder.
SReinstall service valve cores by removing manifold hose from service valve. Quickly install cores with core
tool while maintaining a positive system pressure.
SReplace stem caps and secure finger tight, then tighten an additional one−sixth (1/6) of a turn as illustrated.

Optimizing System Refrigerant Charge
This section provides instructions on optimizing the
system charge. This section includes:
1. Move the low−side manifold gauge hose from the
vapor line service valve to the true suction port (see
figure 21).
2. Set the thermostat for either cooling or heating
demand. Turn on power to the indoor unit and close
the outdoor unit disconnect switch to start the unit.
3. Allow unit to run for five minutes to allow pressures to
stabilize.
4. Check the airflow as instructed under Adjusting IndoorAirflow to verify or adjust indoor airflow for maximum
efficiency. Make any air flow adjustments before
continuing with the optimizing procedure.
5. Use subcooling method to optimize the system
charge (see figure 24). Adjust charge as necessary.

AUse COOLING MODE when:
SOutdoor ambient temperature is 60°F (15.5°C) and above.
SIndoor return air temperature range is between 70 to 80°F (21−27°C). This

into second−stage (high−capacity) cooling mode. When operating and
temperature pressures have stabilized, continue to step 3.
BUse HEATING MODE when:
SOutdoor ambient temperature is 59°F (15.0°C) and below.
SIndoor return air temperature range is between 65−75°F (18−24°C). This
temperature range is what the target subcooling values are base upon in
tables 3 through 6.
If indoor return air temperature is not within reference range, set thermostat to
heating mode and a setpoint of 77ºF (25ºC). This should place the outdoor unit
into second−stage (high−capacity) heating mode. When operating and
temperature pressures have stabilized, continue to step 3.

NORMAL OPERATING PRESSURES
Use the following tables to perform maintenance checks; it
is not a procedure for charging the system. Minor
variations in these pressures may be due to differences in
installations. Significant deviations could mean that the
system is not properly charged or that a problem exists
with some component in the system.
Typical pressures only, expressed in psig (liquid +/− 10
and vapor +/− 5 psig); matched indoor component (air
handler or coil), indoor air quality, and indoor load will
cause the pressures to vary.

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)
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
Switch (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 .
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.
The replacement filter drier must be suitable for use with
HFC−410A refrigerant.
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.
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.

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.
DEFROST SYSTEM OVERVIEW
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.
DEFROST CONTROL CONNECTIONS, JUMPERS
SETTINGS AND FEATURES
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.
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.
Demand Defrost Control 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 1. 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.
Testing Demand Defrost Control Sensors
Sensor resistance values can be checked by ohming
across pins shown in table 11.

Tables 12 and 13 shows how the resistance varies as the
temperature changes for various types of sensors.
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 Jumper
Settings (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).
Test Pins (P1) Function
Placing the jumper on the field test pins (P1) 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
See figure 27 for flowchart of test pin (P1) operations.
Page 34
Page 35
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 MODE OVERVIEW
The demand defrost control has three basic operational
modes. Those modes are:
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 26 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.
DEFROST CYCLE ACTUATION
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.
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.
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:
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.

Two−Stage Modulation Compressors
Checks
Use this checklist on page 42 to verify part-load and
full-load capacity operation of two-stage modulation
compressors.
TOOLS REQUIRED
SRefrigeration gauge set
SDigital volt/amp meter
SElectronic temperature thermometer
SOn-off toggle switch
IMPORTANT
This performance check is ONLY valid on systems that
have clean indoor and outdoor coils, proper airflow over
coils, and correct system refrigerant charge. All
components in the system must be functioning proper to
correctly perform compressor modulation operational
check. (Accurate measurements are critical to this test
as indoor system loading and outdoor ambient can affect
variations between low and high capacity readings).
PROCEDURE
NOTE − Block outdoor coil to maintain a minimum of 375
psig during testing).
1. Turn main power OFF to outdoor unit.
2. Adjust room thermostat set point 5ºF above the room
temperature.
3. Remove control access panel. Install refrigeration
gauges on unit. Attach the amp meter to the common
(black wire) wire of the compressor harness. Attach
thermometer to discharge line as close as possible to
the compressor.
4. Turn toggle switch OFF and install switch in series with
Y2 wire from room thermostat.
5. Cycle main power ON.
6. Allow pressures and temperatures to stabilize before
taking measurements (may take up to 10 minutes).
7. Record all of the readings for the Y1 demand.
8. Close switch to energize Y2 demand. Verify power is
going to compressor solenoid.
9. Allow pressures and temperatures to stabilize before
taking measurements (may take up to 10 minutes).
10. Record all of the readings with the Y1 and Y2 demand.
11. If temperatures and pressures change in the direction
noted in Two−Stage Modulation Compressor Field
Operational Checklist on page 42, the compressor is
properly modulating from low to high capacity. (If no
amperage, pressures or temperature readings
change when this test is performed, the compressor
is not modulating between low and high capacity and
replacement is necessary).
12. After testing is complete, return unit to original set up.
Maintenance
DEALER
Maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency. At the beginning of each
cooling season, the system should be checked as follows:
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.
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)
SOutdoor Coil The outdoor coil may be flushed with
a water hose.
SOutdoor 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.

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.
HOMEOWNER
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.
SPlease contact your dealer to schedule proper
inspection and maintenance for your equipment.
SMake sure no obstructions restrict airflow to the
outdoor unit.
SGrass clippings, leaves, or shrubs crowding the unit
can cause the unit to work harder and use more
energy.
SKeep shrubbery trimmed away from the unit and
periodically check for debris which collects around the
unit.
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.
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:
SHeat 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.
SDo 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.
SDuring 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:
SVerify room thermostat settings are correct.
SVerify that all electrical disconnect switches are ON.
SCheck for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.
SVerify unit access panels are in place.
SVerify air filter is clean.
SIf service is needed, locate and write down the unit
model number and have it handy before calling.
