WARNING OPERATING SERVICE VALVES
The liquid and vapor line service valves are used for
removing refrigerant, flushing, leak testing, evacuating,
checking charge and charging,
Each valve is equipped with a service port which has a
factory-installed valve stem.
IMPORTANT
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
who have jurisdiction before installation.
When servicing or repairing HVAC components, ensure
the fasteners are appropriately tightened. Table 1 shows
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 SETS
When checking the system charge, only use a manifold
gauge set that features low loss anti-blow back fittings.
See figure 2 for a typical manifold gauge connection setup,
Manifold gauge sets 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 on the high side and a low side of
30" vacuum to 250 psi with dampened speed to 500 psi.
Gauge hoses must be rated for use at up to 800 psi of
pressure with a 4000 psi burst rating,

Remove existing HCFC-22 refrigerant using one of the
following procedures:
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.
NOTE -Use recovery machine instructions for specific
setup requirements.
1. Disconnect all power to the existing outdoor unit.
2. Connect to the existing unit a gauge set, clean
recovery cylinder and a recovery machine. Use the
instructions provided with the recovery machine on
how to setup the connections.
3. Remove all HCFC-22 refrigerant from the existing
system. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that
the entire system is completely void of refrigerant.
RECOVERY MACHINE MANIFOLD GAUGES
/
OUTDOOR UNIT
Figure 6. Typical Refrigerant Recovery
(Method 1)
NOTE -Use recovery machine instructions for specific
setup requirements.
METHOD 2:
Use this method if the existing outdoor unit is equipped
with manual shut-off valves, and plan on using new
HCFC-22 refrigerant to flush the system.
IMPORTANT: Some system configurations may contain
higher than normal refrigerant charge due to either large
internal coil volumes, and/or long line sets. The following
conditions may cause the compressor to stop functioning:
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 cycled 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 suction 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:
1. Start the existing HCFC-22 system in the cooling
mode and close the liquid line valve.
2. Pump as much of the existing HCFC-22 refrigerant
with the compressor back into the outdoor unit until
you have reached the limitations of the outdoor
system. Turn the outdoor unit main power OFF and
use a recovery machine to remove the remaining
refrigerant in the system.
Page 5
SPB*H4 SERIES
NOTE -It may be necessary to bypass the low pressure
switches if equipped to ensure complete refrigerant
evacuation.
3, When the low side system pressures reach 0 psig,
close the suction line valve,
4. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that the
valves are not allowing refrigerant to flow back into the
low side of the system.
Perform the following task at the existing outdoor unit:
Disconnect line set at the service valves,
Disconnect electrical service at the disconnect switch,
Remove old outdoor unit,

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 sweat connections). Use Lennox L15 (sweat,
non-flare) series line set, or use field-fabricated refrigerant
lines as listed in table 2.

Fabrication Guidelines, or contact Lennox Technical
Support Product Applications for assistance. To obtain the
correct information from Lennox, be sure to communicate
the following points:
Model (SPB*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 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 SPB*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 SPB*H4 unit.
Typically a liquid line used to meter flow is 1/4" in diameter
and copper.
INSTALLING LINE SET
Line Set Isolation--This reference illustrates
procedures, which ensure proper refrigerant line set
isolation:

HCFC-22 cylinder with clean refrigerant to the
suction service valve,
HCFC-22 gauge set to the liquid line valve,
Recovery machine with an empty recovery tank to
the gauge set,
2. Set the recovery machine for liquid recovery and start
the recovery machine. Open the gauge set valves to
allow the recovery machine to pull a vacuum on the
existing system line set and indoor unit coil.
3. Invert the cylinder of clean HCFC-22 and open its
valve to allow liquid refrigerant to flow into the system
through the suction line valve, Allow the refrigerant to
pass from the cylinder and through the line set and the
indoor unit coil before it enters the recovery machine.
4. After all of the liquid refrigerant has been recovered,
switch the recovery machine to suction recovery so
that all of the HCFC-22 suction is recovered. Allow the
recovery machine to pull a vacuum on the system,
5. Close the valve on the inverted HCFC-22 drum and
the gauge set valves. Pump the remaining refrigerant
out of the recovery machine and turn the machine off.

,WARNING Xk WARNING
1. Connect an HFC-410A manifold gauge set high
pressure hose to the suction valve service port.
(Normally, the high pressure hose is connected to the
liquid line port; however, connecting it to the suction
port better protects the manifold gauge set from high
pressure damage,)
2. 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 (suction only),
3. 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,
4. Connect a cylinder of dry nitrogen with a pressure
regulating valve to the center port of the manifold
gauge set,
5. 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,
6. 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.
7. After leak testing disconnect gauges from service
ports.
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
1. Connect manifold gauge set to the service valve ports
as follows:
low pressure gauge to suction line service valve
high pressure gauge to liquid line service valve
2. Connect micron gauge.
3. Connect the vacuum pump (with vacuum gauge) to
the center port of the manifold gauge set,
4. Open both manifold valves and start the vacuum
pump.
5. 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 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.
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
Page15
SPB*H4 SERIES
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.
10. Close manifold gauge valves and shut off the
HFC-410A cylinder and remove the manifold gauge
set.
If the system is void of refrigerant, clean the system using
the procedure described below.
1. Use nitrogen to pressurize the system and check for
leaks. Repair all leaks.
2. Evacuate the system to remove as much of the
moisture as possible.
3. Use nitrogen to break the vacuum and install a new
filter drier in the system.
4. Evacuate the system again. Then, weigh the
appropriate amount of HFC-410A refrigerant as listed
on unit nameplate into the system.
5. Monitor the system to determine the amount of
moisture remaining in the oil. It may be necessary to
replace the filter drier several times to achieve the
required dryness level. If system dryness is not
verified, the compressor will fail in the future.
WARNING I
In the U.S.A., wiring must conform with current local codes
and the current National Electric Code (NEC). In Canada,
wiring must conform with current local codes and the current
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
Refer to the furnace or blower coil installation instructions
for additional wiring application diagrams and refer to unit
nameplate for minimum circuit ampacity and maximum
overcurrent protection size.

Use the transformer provided with the furnace or coil
blower for low-voltage control power (24VAC - 40 VA
minimum)
NOTE -The addition of accessories to the system could
exceed the 40VAC power requirement of the
factory-provided transformer. Measure the system's
current and voltage after installation is complete to
determine transformer loading. If loading exceeds the
factory-provided transformer capacity, a larger
field-provided transformer will need to be installed in the
system,

System,
TESTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
This system uses HFC-410A refrigerant which operates at
much higher pressures than HCFC-22. The pre-installed
liquid line filter drier is approved for use with HFC-410A
only. Do not replace it with components designed for use
with HCFC-22. This unit is NOT approved for use with coils
which use capillary tubes as a refrigerant metering device,
COOLING MODE INDOOR AIRFLOW CHECK
Check airflow using the Delta-T (DT) process using the
illustration in figure 29,
HEATING MODE INDOOR AIRFLOW CHECK
Blower airflow (CFM) may be calculated by energizing
electric heat and measuring:
Temperature rise between the return air and supply air
temperatures at the indoor coil blower unit,
Measuring voltage supplied to the unit,
Measuring amperage being drawn by the heat unit(s),
Then, apply the measurements taken in following formula
to determine CFM:
Amps x Volts x 3.41
CFM = 1.08 x Temperature rise (F)

Connect gauge set.
Check Liquid and Vapor line pressures. Compare pressures with Normal Operating
Pressures table 7, (The reference table is a general guide. Expect minor pressure
variations. Significant differences may mean improper charge or other system problem.)
Set thermostat for heat/cool demand, depending on mode being used:
Using cooling mode--When the outdoor ambient temperature is 60°F (15°C) and above.
Target subcooling values in table below are based on 70 to 80°F (21-27°C) indoor return air
temperature; if necessary, operate heating to reach that temperature range; then set
thermostat to cooling mode setpoint to 68°F (20°C). When pressures have stabilized, continue
with step 6.
Using heating mode--When the outdoor ambient temperature is below 60°F (15°C). Target
subcooling values in table below are based on 65-75°F (18-24°C) indoor return air
temperature; if necessary, operate cooling to reach that temperature range; then set
thermostat to heating mode setpoint to 77°F (25°C). When pressures have stabilized, continue
with step 6.
6 Read the liquid line temperature; record in the LIQ ° space.
7 Read the liquid line pressure; then find its corresponding temperature in the temperature/
pressure chart listed in table 6 and record it in the SAT° space.
8 Subtract LIQ° temp. from SAT ° temp. to determine subcooling; record it in SC ° space.
9 Compare SC° results with table below, being sure to note any additional charge for line set

The outdoor unit and indoor blower cycle on demand from
the room thermostat. When the thermostat blower switch
is in the ON position, the indoor blower operates
continuously.
THERMOSTAT OPERATION
Some indoor thermostats incorporate isolating contacts
and an emergency heat function (which includes an amber
indicating light). The thermostat is not included with the
unit and must be purchased separately,
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.
FILTER DRIER
The unit is equipped with a large-capacity bi-flow 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.
DEFROST SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The demand defrost controller 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 defrost control
board components are shown in figure 33,

Figure 33. Outdoor Unit Defrost
Control Board (100135-03)
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 board 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 board initiates defrost cycles.
DEFROST BOARD DIAGNOSTIC LEDS
The state OFF, ON and FLASHING of two LEDs on the
defrost board DS1 [Red] and DS2 [Green] indicate
diagnostics conditions that are described in table 9.
DEFROST BOARD PRESSURE SWITCH
CONNECTIONS
The unit's automatic reset pressure switches LO PS-$87
and HI PS-S4 are factory-wired into the defrost board on
the LO-PS and HI-PS terminals, respectively.
Low Pressure Switch (LO-PS)--When the low pressure
switch trips, the defrost board will cycle off the compressor,
and the strike counter in the board will count one strike.
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
High Pressure Switch (HI-PS)--When the high pressure
switch trips, the defrost board will cycle off the compressor,
and the strike counter in the board will count one strike.
DEFROST BOARD PRESSURE SWITCH SETTINGS
High Pressure (auto reset) - trip at 590 psig; reset at 418
psig.
Low Pressure (auto reset) - trip at 25 psig; reset at 55
psig.
PRESSURE SWITCH 5-STRIKE LOCKOUT
The internal control logic of the board 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 control board 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 defrost board through a
field-replaceable harness assembly that plugs into the
board (see figure 35). Through the sensors, the board
detects outdoor ambient, coil, and discharge temperature
fault conditions. As the detected temperature changes, the
resistance across the sensor changes. Figure 34 shows
how the resistance varies as the temperature changes for
both type of sensors. Sensor resistance values can be
checking by ohms across pins shown in table 8.
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 8, 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.

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 board 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.
Discharge Line Sensor--If the discharge line
temperature exceeds a temperature of 300°F (148°C)
during compressor operation, the board 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 board 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 board is
Discharge Line Temperature Fault and Lockout.
2. If the board recognizes five temperature sensor range
faults during a single Y1 compressor demand, it
reverts to a lockout mode and displays the appropriate
code. The board 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
board will count one fault. After five faults, the board
will lockout. Code on board 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 W'
refrigerant discharge line.
NOTE -Within a single room thermostat demand, if
5-strikes occur, the board will lockout the unit. Defrost
board 24 volt power R must be cycled OFF or the TEST
pins on board must be shorted between I to 2seconds to
reset the board.
Second-Stage Operation--If the board 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 board 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 Temperature Termination Shunt (Jumper)
Pins--The defrost board 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 the temperature shunt is not
installed, the default termination temperature is 90°F
(32°C).
DELAY MODE
The defrost board has a field-selectable function to reduce
occasional sounds that may occur while the unit is cycling
in and out of the defrost mode. When 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 NOTfunctional when
jumpering the TEST pins.

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The defrost control board has three basic operational
modes: normal, defrost, and calibration.
Normal Mode--The demand defrost board 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 Mode--The board is considered
uncalibrated when power is applied to the board, after
cool mode operation, or if the coil temperature
exceeds the termination temperature when it is in heat
mode,
Calibration of the board 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.
Defrost Mode--The following paragraphs provide a
detailed description of the defrost system operation,
DETAILED DEFROST SYSTEM OPERATION
The demand defrost control board initiates a defrost cycle
based on either frost detection or time.
Frost Detection--If the compressor runs longer than 34
minutes and the actual difference between the clear coil
and frosted coil temperatures exceeds the maximum
difference allowed by the control, a defrost cycle will be
initiated,
AIMPORTANT
Time--If 6 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 board logs the compressor run time.
If the board is not calibrated, a defrost cycle will be initiated
after 34 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 board fails to calibrate, another defrost cycle will be
initiated after 90 minutes of heating mode compressor run

initiatedafter34minutesof runtime.
TestMode--When Y1 is energized and 24V power is
being applied to the board, a test cycle can be initiated by
placing the termination temperature jumper across the
TEST pins for 2 to 5 seconds. If the jumper remains across
the TEST pins longer than 5 seconds, the control will
ignore the test pins and revert to normal operation. The
jumper will initiate one cycle per test.
Enter the TEST mode by placing a shunt (jumper) across
the TEST pins on the board after power-up. (The TEST
pins are ignored and the test function is locked out if the
shunt is applied on the TEST pins before power-up). Board
timings are reduced, the low-pressure switch is ignored
and the board will clear any active lockout condition.
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
36) for TEST operation.
Note: The Y1 input must be active (ON) and the 0 room
thermostat terminal into board must be inactive.

This code detects shorted sensor or high discharge temperatures. If the discharge line temperature
exceeds a temperature of 300°F (148°C) during compressor operation, the board 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).
The board 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 board will count one fault. After 5 faults, the board will
lockout.

kWARNING I
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.
Inspect and clean the outdoor and indoor coils. The
outdoor coil may be flushed with a water hose.
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
pressures.
Check the condensate drain line for free and
unobstructed flow; clean, if necessary.
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.
Check drive belt for wear and proper tension.
NOTE -If owner reports insufficient cooling, the unit should
be gauged and refrigerant charge checked. Refer to section
on refrigerant charging in this instruction.
Refer to the Engineering Handbook for optional
accessories that may apply to this unit. The following may

NOTE -If you are unsure about the filter required for
your system, call your Lennox dealer for assistance.
IMPORTANT
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. Electronic Air Cleaner--Some systems are
equipped with an electronic air cleaner, designed to
remove airborne particles from the air passing through
the cleaner. If your system is so equipped, ask your
dealer for maintenance instructions.
5. 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.)
IMPORTANT
6, 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,
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,
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 air
conditioning or heat pump system.
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,
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,

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,
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.
SYSTEM SWITCH
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.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
The temperature indicator displays the actual room
temperature,
PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTATS
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
manual provided with your particular thermostat for
operation details,
PRESERVlCE 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
is properly set.
Make sure the room thermostat system switch is
properly set,
If you discover any blown fuses or tripped circuit
breakers, call your Lennox dealer for assistance,
Make sure unit access panels are in place,
Make sure air filter is clean,
Locate unit model number and have it handy before
calling,
