•

Service clearance of 30 in. (762 mm) must be
maintained on one of the sides adjacent to the control
box.

If the existing outdoor unit is equipped with manual shut-off
valves then:

•

Clearance to one of the other three sides must be 36
in. (914 mm)

1. Start the existing HCFC-22 system in the cooling
mode and close the liquid line valve.

•

Clearance to one of the remaining two sides may be
12 in. (305 mm) and the final side may be 6 in. (152
mm)

•

48 in. (1219 mm) clearance required on top of unit.

•

A clearance of 24 in. (610 mm) must be maintained
between two units

METHOD 2:

2. Pump all of the existing HCFC-22 refrigerant back into
the outdoor unit.
NOTE - It may be necessary to bypass the low pressure
switches to ensure complete refrigerant evacuation.
3. When the low side system pressures reach 0 psig,
close the vapor line valve.
4. Disconnect all power to the existing outdoor unit.
Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that the
valves are not allowing refrigerant to flow back into the
low side of the system.
5. Disconnect the liquid and vapor lines from the existing
outdoor unit.

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.

•

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 8.

Perform the following task at the existing outdoor unit:
Disconnect line set at the service valves.

Slab may be level or have a slope tolerance away from the
building of not more than two degrees, or two inches per
five feet (51 mm per 1524 mm),
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 9.

not required, then proceed to Brazing
on page 9,

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.
REFRIGERANT

LINE SET

Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and vapor 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.

The RFCl-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 13HPD 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 13HPD unit,
Typically a liquid line used to meter flow is 1/4" in diameter

NOTE - Amounts of refrigerant will vary with line lengths.
8, Adjust dry nitrogen pressure to 150 psig (1034 kPa).
9, Open the valve on the high side of the manifold gauge
set in order to pressurize the line set and the indoor unit,
10, 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,
11, Check the indoor and outdoor units and line set for
leaks using the leak detector mentioned in paragraph
10,
12. Proceed with evacuation as outlined in the Evacuating
the System,

NOTE - During the early stages of evacuation, it is
desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once to
determine if there is a rapid rise in sure 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.
6. When the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns
(29.01 inches of mercury), close the manifold gauge
valves, turn off the vacuum pump and disconnect the
manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump.
Attach the manifold center port hose to a dry nitrogen
cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig (1034
kPa) and purge the hose. Open the manifold gauge
valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor
unit. Close the manifold gauge valves.
7. 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.

WARNING

8. 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.
9. 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
HCFC-22 refrigerant. Open the manifold gauge valve
1 to 2 psig in order to release the vacuum in the line set
and indoor unit.

A IMPORTANT

Evacuating the system of non-oondensables 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
vapor combine with refrigerant to produce substances that
corrode copper piping and compressor parts.
1, Connect manifold gauge set to the service valve ports
as follows:
•

low pressure gauge to vapor line service valve

•

high pressure gauge to liquid line service valve

10. Close manifold gauge valves and shut off the
HCFC-22 cylinder and remove the manifold gauge
set,

EMERGENCY HEAT FUNCTION (ROOM
THERMOSTAT)
An emergency heat function is designed into some room
thermostats, This feature is applicable when isolation of
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
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 13HPD defrost system includes two components: a
defrost thermostat and a defrost control board (DCB).
DEFROST THERMOSTAT
The defrost thermostat as illustrated in figure 27 is located
on the liquid line between the CTXV and the distributor.
When defrost thermostat senses 42°F (5.5°C) or cooler,
the thermostat contacts close and send a signal to the DCB
to start the defrost timing, It also terminates defrost when
the liquid line warms up to 70°F (21°C).
DEFROST CONTROL BOARD (DCB)
The DCB includes the combined functions
of a
time/temperature defrost control, defrost relay, diagnostic
LEDs and terminal strip for field wiring connections as
illustrated in figure 28.

WARNING

If the jumper is removed before an additional 5-second
period has elapsed (7 seconds total), the unit will
remain in defrost mode until the defrost thermostat
opens or 14 minutes have passed.
If the jumper is not removed until after the additional
5-second period has elapsed, the defrost will

until the jumper is removed and re-applied.
P5 -- Compressor
30-Second
Delay
The DCB has a field-selectable
function to reduce
occasional sounds that may occur while the unit is cycling
in and out of the defrost mode. The compressor will be
cycled off for 30 seconds going in and out of the defrost
mode when the compressor delay jumper is removed.
NOTE - The 30-second OFF cycle is not functional when
jumpering the TEST pins.
Time Delay ByPass
The timed-off delay is five minutes long. The delay helps to
protect the compressor from short-cycling in case the
power to the unit is interrupted or a pressure switch opens.
The delay is bypassed by placing the timer select jumper
across the P1 TEST pins for 0.5 seconds as illustrated in
figure 29.
DS1 and DS2 -- Diagnostic
LEDs
The DCB uses two LEDs (DS1 and DS2) for diagnostics.
The LEDs flash a specific sequence according to the
condition.

Before the start of each heating and cooling season, the
following service checks should be performed by a
qualified service technician. First, turn off electrical power
to the unit prior to performing unit maintenance.
•

NOTE - It may be necessary to flush the outdoor coil more
frequently if it is exposed to substances which are
corrosive or which block airflow across the coil (e.g., pet
urine, cottonwood seeds, etc.)
•

Visually inspect the refrigerant lines and coils for leaks.

•

Check wiring for loose connections.

•

Check voltage at the indoor and outdoor units (with
units operating).

•

Check the amperage draw at the outdoor fan motor,
compressor, and indoor blower motor. Values should
be compared with those given on unit nameplate.

•

Check, clean (or replace) indoor unit filters.

•

Check the refrigerant charge and gauge the system

A IMPORTANT

,

Room Thermostat

When removing debris from around the unit, be aware
of metal edges on parts and screws. Although special
care has been taken to keep exposed edges to a
minimum, physical contact with metal edges and
corners while applying excessive force or rapid motion
can result in personal injury,

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.

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 heat
pump system.

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
replaced with a filter of the same type and size,

be

NOTE - If you are unsure about the filter required for your
system, call your Lennox dealer for assistance.

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 45°F (7°C). An electronic control activates a
defrost cycle lasting 5 to 15 minutes at preset intervals
to clear the outdoor coil of the frost,

A IMPORTANT

3, Reusable Filter--Many indoor units are equipped
with reusable foam filters. Clean foam filters with a
Page 20
505361M

09/07

Outdoor Unit--Make
sure no obstructions restrict
airflow to the outdoor unit. Leaves, trash or shrubs
crowding the unit cause the outdoor 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,

EXTENDED POWER OUTAGE RESTART
PROCEDURE
If the outdoor temperature is below 50°F (10°C) and power
to your outdoor unit has been interrupted for six hours or
longer, observe the following when restoring power to your
heat pump system,
•
Set the room thermostat selector to the EMERGENCY
HEAT setting to obtain temporary heat for a minimum
of six hours. This will allow system refrigerant
pressures and temperatures enough time to return to
a stabilized condition.
•

In Emergency Heat mode, all heating demand is
satisfied by auxiliary heat; heat pump operation is
locked out, After a six-hour warm-up period, the
thermostat can then be switched to the HEAT setting
and normal heat pump operation may resume.

Though your thermostat may vary somewhat from the
description below, its operation will be similar,
Temperature
Setting Levers
Most heat pump thermostats have two temperature
selector levers: one for heating and one for cooling. Set the
levers or dials to the desired temperature setpoints for both
heating and cooling. Avoid frequent
temperature
adjustment; turning the unit off and back on before
pressures equalize puts stress on the unit compressor.

System

Set the system switch for heating, cooling or auto
operation, The auto mode allows the heat pump to
automatically switch from heating mode to cooling mode to
maintain predetermined comfort settings, Many heat
pump thermostats are also equipped with an emergency
heat mode which locks out heat pump operation and
provides temporary heat supplied by the auxiliary heat,
Indicating

Light

Most heat pump thermostats have an amber light which
indicates when the heat pump is operating in the
emergency heat mode,

Your Lennox
system
may be controlled
by a
programmable thermostat. These thermostats provide the
added feature of programmable time-of-day setpoints for
both heating and cooling, Refer to the user's information

operation details,
PRESERVICE

CHECK

If your system fails to operate, check the following before
calling for service:
•

Check to see that all electrical disconnect switches are
ON,

•

Make sure the room thermostat temperature selector
and system switch (HEAT, COOL and AUTO) are
properly set.

•

Check for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.

•

Make sure unit access panels are in place.

•

Make sure air filter is clean.

•

If service is needed, locate and write down the unit
model number and have it handy before calling,

Fan Switch
In AUTO or INT (intermittent) mode, the blower operates
only when the thermostat calls for heating or cooling. This
mode is generally preferred when humidity control is a
priority. The ON or CONT mode provides continuous
indoor blower operation, regardless of whether the
compressor or auxiliary heat are operating. This mode is
required when constant air circulation or filtering is desired,
