POSITIONING CONSIDERATIONS
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 6.
Install unit away
from windows
Two 90 ° elbows installed in line set -
will reduce line set vibration.
Figure 6. Outside Unit Placement
PLACING 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 7. 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).
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.

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 (sweat connections) to the indoor unit
coil (flare or sweat connections). Use Lennox L15 (sweat,
non41are) series line sets, or use field-fabricated
refrigerant lines as listed in table 3.
MATCHING WITH NEW OR EXISTING INDOOR COIL
AND LINE SET
IMPORTANT
When installing refrigerant lines longer than 50 feet, see
the Lennox Refrigerant Piping Design and Fabrication
Guidelines, or contact Lennox Technical Support Product

5. Flow regulated nitrogen (at 1 to 2 psig) through the
refrigeration gauge set into the valve stem port
connection on the liquid line service valve and out of
the valve stem port connection on the vapor service
valve. The CTXV metering device at the indoor unit
coil will allow low pressure nitrogen to flow through the
system,)
Note: Use silver alloy brazing rods with five or six percent
minimum silver alloy for copper-to-copper brazing or 45
percent silver alloy for copper-to-brass or copper-to-steel
brazing,
6. Braze the line set to the liquid line service valve. Turn
off nitrogen flow, Repeat procedure starting at
paragraph 4 for brazing the vapor line set to service
valve,
After brazing the vapor line set to the service valve,
disconnect gauge from service port, remove wrapping and
replace service port cores.
Remove the existing HCFC-22 refrigerant flow control
orifice or thermal expansion valve from the indoor coil.
Existing devices are not approved for use with HFC-410A
refrigerant and may prevent proper flushing. Use a
field-provided fitting to reconnect lines, See figure 23 on
page 13 for disassembly and typical removal instructions.
After the line set has been connected to both the indoor
and outdoor units, check the line set connections at both
the indoor and outdoor units unit for leaks. Use the
following procedure to test for leaks:
IMPORTANT
WARNING
1. Cut ends of the refrigerant lines square (free from
nicks or dents). Debur the ends. The pipe must remain
round, do not pinch end of the line.
2. Remove service cap and core from both the vapor and
liquid line service ports.
3. Connect gauge low pressure side to liquid line service
valve,

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
Equipment required to flush the existing line set and indoor
unit coil:
Two clean HCFC-22 recovery bottles,
Oilless recovery machine with pump-down feature,
Two gauge sets (one for HCFC-22; one for
HFC-410A),
RECOVERY MACHINE
NOTE -The inverted HCFC-22 cylinder must contain at least the same
amount of refrigerant as was recovered from the existing system.
Figure 22. Typical Flushing Connection
PROCEDURE
1, Verify that the existing HCFC-22 refrigerant flow
control device has been removed before continuing
with flushing procedures. Existing devices are not
approved for use with HFC-410A refrigerant and may
prevent proper flushing.
2, Connect an HCFC-22 cylinder with clean refrigerant to
the vapor service valve. Connect the HCFC-22 gauge
set to the liquid line valve. Connect a recovery
machine with an empty recovery tank to the gauge set
as illustrated in figure 22.
3, 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.
4, Invert the cylinder of clean HCFC-22 and open its
valve to allow liquid refrigerant to flow into the system
through the vapor 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,
5, After all of the liquid refrigerant has been recovered,
switch the recovery machine to vapor recovery so that
all of the HCFC-22 vapor is recovered. Allow the
recovery machine to pull a vacuum on the system,
NOTE -A single system flush should remove all of the
mineral oil from the existing refrigerant lines and indoor
unit coil. A second flushing may be done (using clean
refrigerant) if insufficient amounts of mineral oil were
removed during the first flush. Each time the system is
flushed, you must allow the recovery machine to pull a
vacuum on the system at the end of the procedure.
Page1
6, 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.
XP15 units are used in check thermal expansion valve
(CTXV) systems only, See the indoor unit coil installation
instructions and the Lennox Engineering Handbook for
approved CTXV match-ups and application information.

WARNING
AIMPORTANT
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
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
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

6, Set the thermostat for a cooling demand. Turn on
power to the indoor indoor unit and close the outdoor
unit disconnect switch to start the unit.
7, Recheck voltage while the unit is running. Power must
be within range shown on the nameplate,
8, Check system for sufficient refrigerant by using the
procedures listed under Testing and Charging
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 liquid line filter drier with components
designed for use with HCFC-22,
NOTE - This unit is NOT approved for use with coils which
use capillary tubes as a refrigerant metering device,
SETTING UP TO CHECK CHARGE
1. Close manifold gauge set valves. Connect the center
manifold hose to an upright cylinder of HFC-410A.
2. Connect the manifold gauge set to the unit's service
ports as illustrated in figure 25,
low pressure gauge to vapor service port
high pressure gauge to liquid service port
COOLING MODE INDOOR AIRFLOW CHECK
Check airflow using the Delta-T (DT) process as illustrated
in figure 26 on page 16.
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,
voltage supplied to the unit,
amperage being drawn by the heat unit(s),
Then, apply the measurements taken in following formula
to determine CFM:
CFM = Amps x Volts x 3.41
1.08 x Temperature rise (F)
CALCULATING CHARGE
If the system is void of refrigerant, first, locate and repair
any leaks and then weigh in the refrigerant charge into the
unit, To calculate the total refrigerant charge:

Check the airflow as illustrated in figure 26 to be sure the indoor airflow is as
required. (Make any air flow adjustments before continuing with the following
procedure.)
Measure outdoor ambient temperature; determine whether to use cooling mode
or heating mode to check charge.
Connect gauge set.
Check Liquid and Vapor line pressures. Compare pressures with Normal
Operating Pressures table 5, (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 12 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 and/or match-up.
10 If subcooling value is greater than shown in tables 6 through 11 for the applicable unit,
remove refrigerant; if less than shown, add refrigerant.
11 If refrigerant is added or removed, repeat steps 6 through 10 to verify charge.

INSTALLING SERVICE VALVE CAPS
Disconnect gauge set and re-install all service valve caps.
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 the
unit 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), The system
should be left in the emergency heat mode at least six
hours to allow the crankcase heater sufficient time to
prevent compressor slugging.
HIGH-PRESSURE SWITCH
XP15 units are equipped with a high-pressure switch that
is located in the liquid line to the compressor. The normally
closed SPST auto-reset switch opens at 590 psi,
LOW-PRESSURE SWITCH
XP15 units are equipped with a low-pressure switch that is
located in the vapor line to the compressor. The normally
closed SPST auto-reset switch opens at 25 psi and closes
at 55 psi,
SINGLE-SPEED CONDENSER FAN MOTOR
The XP15 is equipped with a single-speed condenser fan
motor. The compressor contactor and defrost control
board (DCB) controls the operation of the motor,
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,
Replacement filter driers must be suitable for use with
HFC-410A refrigerant,

the room thermostat. On selected Lennox SignatureStat"
thermostats, a blinking check LED will display on the room
thermostat and on select White-Rodgers room
thermostats, an icon on the display will flash. Either will
flash at the same rate as the LSOM yellow alert LED,
NOTE -ROOM THERMOSTATS WITH SERVICE OR
CHECK LIGHT FEATURE--The room thermostat may
blink the Check or Service LED or it may come on sofid,
Confirm fault by observing and interpreting the code from
the LSOM yellow alert LED at the unit,
LSOM--Installation Verification
To verify correct LSOM installation, two functional tests
can be performed.
TEST 1:
1. Disconnect power from the compressor and force a
thermostat call for cooling.
2. The red trip LED should turn on indicating a
compressor trip as long as 24VAC is measured at the
Y terminal, If the red LED does not function as
described, refer to table 13 on page 20 to verify the
wiring,
TEST 2:
1. Disconnect power from the compressor and 24VAC
power from the LSOM
2. Remove the wire from the Y terminal of LSOM and
reapply power to the compressor, allowing the
compressor to run. The yellow alert LED will begin
flashing a code 8 indicating a welded contactor,
3. While the LSOM is off, reattach the wire to the Y
terminal,
4. Reapply power to the compressor and 24VAC power
to the LSOM; the yellow alert LED will flash the
previous code 8 for one minute and then turn off. If the
yellow LED does not function as described, refer to
table 13 on page 20 to verify the wiring,
DEFROST CONTROL BOARD (DCB) FUNCTION
The DCB measures differential temperatures to detect
when the system is performing poorly because of ice
build-up on the outdoor coil. The DCB self-calibrates when
the defrost system starts and after each system defrost
cycle. The DCB components are illustrated in figure 31.

Figure 31. Defrost Control Board (DCB)
The DCB 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 DCB 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 DCB initiates defrost cycles.
Page 21
XP15 SERIES
Pressure Switch Connections
The unit's automatic reset pressure switches (LO PS - $87
and HI PS - $4) are factory-wired into the DCB on the
LO-PS and HI-PS terminals, respectively.
Pressure Switch Event Settings
The following are the auto reset event values for low and
high pressures thresholds:
High Pressure (auto reset) - trip at 590 psig, reset to
418 psig.
Low Pressure (auto reset) - trip at 25 psig, reset to 55
psig.
Five-Strike Lockout Safety Function
The five-strike lockout safety function is designed to
protect the unit's compressor from damage. The DCB
monitors for an active state on the DCB's Y1 input as
referenced in figure 31 on page 21. When the Y1 input is
active the internal control logic of the DCB will do the
following:
Count any HI-PS and LO-PS pressure switch trips
(open and close).
If a pressure switch trips four times during the current
active state on the Y1 input, then the DCB's control
logic will reset the pressure switch trip counter to zero
at the end of currently active Y1 input state.
If the pressure switch opens for a fifth time during the
current Y1 input state, the DCB will enter a lockout
condition.
The system will require servicing to determine the cause of
the pressure switch condition. Once the condition has
been rectified, use the following procedure to reset the
DCB.
DEFROST SYSTEM SENSORS
Sensors connect to the DCB through a field-replaceable
harness assembly that plugs into the DCB. Through the
sensors, the DCB detects outdoor ambient and coil
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 14.
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 14, 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.
Table 14. Sensor Temperature /Resistanc4 Range
Temperature Resistance values Pins/Wire
Sensor Range °F (°C) range (ohms) Color
Outdoor -35 (-37) to 120 280,000 to 3750 3 and 4
(48) (Black)
Coil -35 (-37) to 120 280,000 to 3750 5 and 6
(48) (Brown)
Note: Sensor resistance increases as sensed temperature
decreases.
Ambient Sensor--The ambient sensor as illustrated in
figure 32 on page 24 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 DCB will not
perform demand defrost operation. The DCB 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--The coil temperature sensor as illustrated
in figure 32 on page 24, 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 DCB 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.
NOTE -Within a single room thermostat demand, if
five-strikes occur, the DCB will lock out the unit. The DCB's
24 volt power R must be cycled OFF, or the TESTpins on
DCB must be shorted between 1 to 2 seconds to reset the
DCB.
DCB OPERATIONAL MODES
The DCB has four basic operational modes which are
TEST, NORMAL CALIBRATION and DEFROST.
TEST
1. When Y1 is energized and 24V power is being applied
to the DCB, a test cycle can be initiated by: placing the
termination temperature jumper across the Test pins
(P1) for 2 to 5 seconds.
2. If the jumper remains across the Test pins longer than
five seconds, the DCB will ignore the test pins and
revert to normal operation,
3. The jumper will initiate one cycle per test.
4, Enter the TEST MODE by placing a jumper across the
TEST pins on the DCB 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.
5, DCB timings are reduced, the low-pressure switch is
ignored and the DCB will clear any active lock out
condition,
6, Each test pin shorting will result in one test event, For
each TEST the jumper must be removed for at least
one second and reapplied, Refer to flow chart
illustrated in figure 33 on page 24 for TEST operation,
NOTE -The Y1 input must be active (ON) and the 0 room
thermostat terminal into DCB must be inactive
NORMAL
The DCB 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
The DCB is considered uncalibrated when power is
applied to the DCB, after cool mode operation, or if the coil
temperature exceeds the termination temperature when it
is in heat mode.
DEFROST
For detail information on DEFROST MODE, see Detail

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 allow-

DETAILED DEFROST MODE OPERATION
The defrost mode has three basic operational modes
which are defrost cycles, actuation and termination, These
modes are described as follows:
Defrost Cycles--The demand DCB initiates a defrost
cycle based on either frost detection or time,
Event
Frost
Detection
Time
Description
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 DCB, a defrost cycle will be initiated.
IMPORTANT -The DCB will allow a
greater accumulation of frost and will
initiate fewer defrost cycles than a
time/temperature defrost system.
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 DCB 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 DCB logs the compressor run time.
If the DCB is not calibrated, a defrost cycle will be initiated
after 34 minutes of heating mode compressor run time.
The DCB 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 DCB fails to calibrate, another defrost cycle will be
initiated after 90 minutes of heating mode compressor run
time, Once the DCB 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 DCB or after six hours of heating
mode compressor run time has been logged since the last
defrost cycle,
NOTE -If ambient or coil fault is detected, the DCB will not
execute the TEST mode.
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 34 minutes of run time,
DCB DIAGNOSTICS
See table 16 on page 25 to determine DCB operational
conditions and to diagnose cause and solution to
problems.
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.
_WARNING
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.
Outdoor unit fan motor is prelubricated and sealed. No
further lubrication is needed.
NOTE -If owner reports insufficient cooling, the unit
should be gauged and refrigerant charge checked.
Refer to section on refrigerant charging in this
instruction.
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.
IMPORTANT
3, Reusable Filter--Many indoor units are equipped
with reusable foam filters. Clean foam filters with a
Page 26
505328M 04/08
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 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 RESTART
PROCEDURE
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.
THERMOSTAT OPERATION
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
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.
