TORQUE REQUIREMENTS
When servicing or repairing heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning components, ensure the fasteners are appro-
priately tightened. Table 1 lists torque values for fasteners.
IMPORTANT
Only use Allen wrenches of sufficient hardness (50Rc
- Rockwell Harness Scale minimum). Fully insert the
wrench into the valve stem recess.
Service valve stems are factory-torqued (from 9 ft-lbs
for small valves, to 25 ft-lbs for large valves) to prevent
refrigerant loss during shipping and handling. Using an
Allen wrench rated at less than 50Rc risks rounding
or breaking off the wrench, or stripping the valve stem
recess.
See the Lennox Service and Application Notes #C-08-1
for further details and information.
IMPORTANT
To prevent stripping of the various caps used, the
appropriately sized wrench should be used and fitted
snugly over the cap before tightening.

USING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
When checking the system charge, only use a manifold
gauge set that features low loss anti-blow back fittings.
Manifold gauge set used with HFC-410A refrigerant sys-
tems must be capable of handling the higher system oper-
ating pressures. The gauges should be rated for use with
pressures of 0 - 800 psig on the high side and a low side
of 30” vacuum to 250 psig with dampened speed to 500
psi. Gauge hoses must be rated for use at up to 800 psig
of pressure with a 4000 psig burst rating.
OPERATING SERVICE VALVES
The liquid and vapor line service valves are used for re-
moving refrigerant, flushing, leak testing, evacuating,
checking charge and charging. Each valve is equipped
with a service port which has a factory-installed valve
stem. Figure 2 provides information on how to access and
operate both angle and ball service valves

Unit Placement
See Unit Dimensions on page 3 for sizing mounting slab,
platforms or supports. Refer to page 2 for mandatory in-
stallation clearance requirements.
CAUTION
In order to avoid injury, take proper precaution when
lifting heavy objects..
POSITIONING CONSIDERATIONS
Consider the following when positioning the unit:
• Some localities are adopting sound ordinances based
on the unit's sound level registered from the adjacent
property, not from the installation property. Install the
unit as far as possible from the property line.
• When possible, do not install the unit directly outside
a window. Glass has a very high level of sound trans-
mission. For proper placement of unit in relation to a
window see the provided illustration in figure 3, 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 3,
detail B.
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.
If unit coil cannot be mounted away from prevailing winter
winds, a wind barrier should be constructed. Size barrier
at least the same height and width as outdoor unit. Mount
barrier 24 inches (610 mm) from the sides of the unit in the
direction of prevailing winds.
NOTICE
Roof Damage!
This system contains both refrigerant and oil. Some
rubber roofing material may absorb oil, causing the
rubber to swell. Bubbles in the rubber roofing material
can 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.
Removing and Installing Louvered Panels
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.

New or Replacement Line Set
This section provides information on new installation or
replacement of existing line set. If a new or replacement
line set is not required, then proceed to Brazing Connec-
tions on page .
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 refrig-
erant lines will not create unnecessary vibration and sub-
sequent sounds.
REFRIGERANT LINE SET
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and suction lines
from the outdoor unit (braze connections) to the indoor
unit coil (flare or braze connections). Use Lennox L15
(braze, non-flare) series line set, or use field-fabricated
refrigerant lines as listed in table 2.

NOTE – When installing refrigerant lines longer than 50
feet, contact Lennox Technical Support Product Applica-
tions for assistance or Lennox piping manual. To obtain
the correct information from Lennox, be sure to communi-
cate the following points:
• Model (ML16XP1) 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.
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
for line set lengths up to 50 feet. Recommend adding oil to
system based on the amount of refrigerant charge in the
system. No need to add oil in system with 20 pounds of
refrigerant or less. For systems over 20 pounds - add one
ounce for every five pounds of refrigerant.
Recommended topping-off POE oils are Mobil EAL ARC-
TIC 22 CC or ICI EMKARATE RL32CF.
MATCHING WITH NEW OR EXISTING INDOOR COIL
AND LINE SET
The RFC1-metering line consisted of a small bore copper
line that ran from condenser to evaporator coil. Refrig-
erant was metered into the evaporator by utilizing tem-
perature/pressure evaporation effects on refrigerant in the
small RFC line. The length and bore of the RFC line cor-
responded to the size of cooling unit. If the ML16XP1 is
being used with either a new or existing indoor coil which
is equipped with a liquid line which served as a meter-
ing device (RFCI), the liquid line must be replaced prior to
the installation of the ML16XP1 unit. Typically a liquid line
used to meter flow is 1/4” in diameter and copper.
LINE SET ISOLATION
CAUTION
Brazing alloys and flux contain materials which are
hazardous to your health.
Avoid breathing vapors or fumes from brazing operations.
Perform operations only in well-ventilated areas.
Wear gloves and protective goggles or face shield to
protect against burns.
Wash hands with soap and water after handling brazing
alloys and flux.
IMPORTANT
The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting
of refrigerant (CFC’s and HCFC’s) as of July 1, 1992.
Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming
must be followed. Fines and/or incarceration may be
levied for non-compliance.
IMPORTANT
If this unit is being matched with an approved line set
or indoor unit coil that 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 system performance and capacity.
Failure to properly flush the system, per this instruction
and the detailed Installation and Service Procedures
manual will void the warranty.

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.
FIGURE 5. Line Set Installation
Use the procedures outlined in figures 6 and 7 for brazing
line set connections to service valves.
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
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).
CAUTION
Brazing alloys and flux contain materials which are
hazardous to your health.
Avoid breathing vapors or fumes from brazing operations.
Perform operations only in well-ventilated areas.
Wear gloves and protective goggles or face shield to
protect against burns.
Wash hands with soap and water after handling brazing
alloys and flux.
IMPORTANT
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.

INDOOR EXPANSION VALVE INSTALLATION
FIGURE 9. Installing Indoor Expansion Valve
This outdoor unit is designed for use in systems that use a
check / expansion valve metering device at the indoor coil.
See the Lennox ML16XP1 Product Specification bulletin
for approved expansion valve kit match-ups. The expan-
sion valve unit can be installed internal or external to the
indoor coil.
In applications where an uncased coil is being installed in
a field-provided plenum, install the expansion valve in a
manner that will provide access for field servicing of the
expansion valve. Refer to below illustration for reference
during installation of expansion valve unit.
The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting
of refrigerant (CFC’s and HCFC’s) as of July 1, 1992.
Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming
must be followed. Fines and/or incarceration may be
levied for non-compliance.
IMPORTANT
If this unit is being matched with an approved line set
or indoor unit coil that 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 system performance and capacity.
Failure to properly flush the system, per this instruction
and the detailed Installation and Service Procedures
manual will void the warranty.
Leak Test Line Set and Indoor Coil
WARNING
When using a high pressure gas such as
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
Leak detector must be capable of sensing HFC
refrigerant.
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.

With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of HFC-410A refrigerant to the center port of the manifold gauge set. Open the valve
on the HFC-410A cylinder (vapor only).
B
Open the high pressure side of the manifold to allow HFC-410A into the line set and indoor unit. Weigh in a trace amount of HFC-410A. [A
trace amount is a maximum of two ounces (57 g) refrigerant or three pounds (31 kPa) pressure]. Close the valve on the HFC-410A cylinder
and the valve on the high pressure side of the manifold gauge set. Disconnect the HFC-410A cylinder.
C
Connect a cylinder of dry nitrogen with a pressure regulating valve to the center port of the manifold gauge set.
D
Adjust dry nitrogen pressure to 150 psig (1034 kPa). Open the valve on the high side of the manifold gauge set in order to pressurize the line set
and the indoor unit.
E
After a few minutes, open one of the service valve ports and verify that the refrigerant added to the system earlier is measurable with a leak
detector.
F
After leak testing disconnect gauges from service ports.
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:
A
Connect an HFC-410A manifold gauge set high pressure
hose to the vapor valve service port.
NOTE — Normally, the high pressure hose is connected to
the liquid line port. However, connecting it to the vapor port
better protects the manifold gauge set from high pressure
damage.
B
With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of
HFC-410A refrigerant to the center port of the manifold gauge
set.
NOTE — Later in the procedure,
the HFC-410A container will be
replaced
by
the

FIGURE 10. Leak Test
Evacuating Line Set and Indoor Coil
A
Open both manifold valves and start the vacuum pump.
B
Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to an absolute pressure of 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury).
NOTE — During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once. A rapid rise in pressure
indicates a relatively large leak. If this occurs, repeat the leak testing procedure.
NOTE — The term absolute pressure means the total actual pressure within a given volume or system, above the absolute zero of
pressure. Absolute pressure in a vacuum is equal to atmospheric pressure minus vacuum pressure.
C
When the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury), perform the following:
Close manifold gauge valves
Close valve on vacuum pump
Turn off vacuum pump
Disconnect manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump
Attach manifold center port hose to a dry nitrogen cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig (1034 kPa) and purge the hose.
Open manifold gauge valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor unit.
Close manifold gauge valves.
D
Shut off the dry nitrogen cylinder and remove the manifold gauge hose from the cylinder. Open the manifold gauge valves to release the
dry nitrogen from the line set and indoor unit.
E
Reconnect the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump, turn the pump on, and continue to evacuate the line set and indoor unit until the
absolute pressure does not rise above 500 microns (29.9 inches of mercury) within a 20-minute period after shutting off the vacuum pump
and closing the manifold gauge valves.
F
When the absolute pressure requirement above has been met, disconnect the manifold hose from the vacuum pump and connect it to an
upright cylinder of HFC-410A refrigerant. Open the manifold gauge valve 1 to 2 psig in order to release the vacuum in the line set and
indoor unit.

FIGURE 11. Evacuating the System
Use a thermocouple or thermistor electronic vacuum
gauge that is calibrated in microns. Use an instrument
capable of accurately measuring down to 50 microns.
WARNING
Possible equipment damage.
Avoid deep vacuum operation. Do not use compressors
to evacuate a system. Extremely low vacuum can cause
internal arcing and compressor failure. Damage caused
by deep vacuum operation will void warranty.
Evacuating the system of non-condensables is critical for
proper operation of the unit. Non-condensables are de-
fined as any gas that will not condense under tempera-
tures and pressures present during operation of an air
conditioning system. Non-condensables and water suc-
tion combine with refrigerant to produce substances that
corrode copper piping and compressor parts.
Electrical
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 cur-
rent Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
Refer to the furnace or air handler installation instructions
for additional wiring application diagrams and refer to unit
nameplate for minimum circuit ampacity and maximum
overcurrent protection size.
24VAC TRANSFORMER
Use the transformer provided with the furnace or air han-
dler for low-voltage control power (24VAC - 40 VA mini-
mum).
WARNING

Some scroll compressors have an internal vacuum
protector that will unload scrolls when suction pressure
goes below 20 psig. A hissing sound will be heard when
the compressor is running unloaded. Protector will
reset when low pressure in system rises above 40 psig.
DO NOT REPLACE COMPRESSOR.
The outdoor unit and indoor blower cycle on demand from
the room thermostat. If the thermostat blower switch is in
the ON position, the indoor blower operates continuously.
Bi-Flow Liquid line Filter Drier
The unit is equipped with a large-capacity bi-flow filter dri-
er which keeps the system clean and dry. If replacement is
necessary, order another of the same design and capac-
ity. The replacement filter drier must be suitable for use
with HFC-410A refrigerant.
Low Pressure Switch (S87)
The ML16XP1 is equipped with an auto-reset low pres-
sure switch which is located on the vapor line. The switch
shuts off the compressor when the vapor pressure falls
below the factory setting. This switch, which is ignored
during defrost operation, closes at pressures at or above
40 + 5 psig (276 + 34 kPa) and opens at 25 + 5 psig (172
+ 34 kPa). It is not adjustable.
Low Pressure Switch Bypass (S41) (Optional)
For use in applications where the heat pump is operated
in outdoor ambient temperatures below 15°F.
• Prevents nuisance trips form the low pressure switch
• Wired in parallel with the low pressure switch
High Pressure Switch (S4)
The ML16XP1 is equipped with an auto-reset high pres-
sure switch (single-pole, single-throw) which is located on
the liquid line. The switch shuts off the compressor when
discharge pressure rises above the factory setting. The
switch is normally closed and is permanently adjusted to
trip (open) at 590 + 15 psig (4068 + 103 kPa).
NOTE – A Schrader core is under the pressure switches.
Crankcase Heater (HR1) and Thermostat Switch (S40)
Certain units are equipped with a belly band type crank-
case heater. HR1 prevents liquid from accumulating in the
compressor. The HR1 is controlled by a single pole, single
throw thermostat switch (S40) located on the liquid line.
On all units, the heater is on when there is no compressor
operation.
Thermal Protection Switch (S173) – Compressor
Mounted
Some ML16XP1 units are equipped with a compressor
mounted normally closed temperature switch that pre-
vents compressor damage due to overheating caused
by internal friction. The switch is located on top of the
compressor casing (see figure 1). This switch senses
the compressor casing temperature and opens at 239-
257°F (115°C-125°C) to shut off compressor operation.
The auto-reset switch closes when the compressor cas-
ing temperature falls to 151-187°F (66°C-86°C), and the
compressor is re-energized. This single-pole, single-throw
(SPST) bi-metallic switch is wired in series with the 24V Y
input signal to control compressor operation.
System Configuration
Demand Defrost Control (A108)
The demand defrost control measures differential tem-
peratures to detect when the system is performing poorly
because of ice build-up on the outdoor coil. The control
self-calibrates when the defrost system starts and after
each system defrost cycle. The demand defrost control
components are shown in figure 14.
• Demand defrost control connections, jumpers and LED
locations are shown in figure 14.
• Demand defrost control connections, jumpers and LED
descriptions are listed on table 3.

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 thermo-
stat is placed in the emergency heat position, the outdoor
unit control circuit is isolated from power and field-provid-
ed relays bypass the outdoor thermostats. An amber indi-
cating light simultaneously comes on to remind the home-
owner 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 out-
door 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 compres-
sor slugging.
DEFROST SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The control monitors ambient temperature, outdoor coil
temperature, and total run time to determine when a de-
frost cycle is required. The coil temperature probe is de-
signed 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
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:
• Clear short cycle lockout
• Clear five-strike fault lockout
• Cycle the unit in and out of defrost mode
Place the unit in defrost mode to clear the coil
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.

Motor Nameplate:_________ Actual:__________.
7 - Inspect drain holes in coil compartment base and
clean if necessary.
NOTE – If insufficient heating or cooling occurs, the
unit should be gauged and refrigerant charge should be
checked.
Outdoor Coil
It may be necessary to flush the outdoor coil more fre-
quently if it is exposed to substances which are corrosive
or which block airflow across the coil (e.g., pet urine, cot-
tonwood seeds, fertilizers, fluids that may contain high
levels of corrosive chemicals such as salts)
• Outdoor Coil – The outdoor coil may be flushed with a
water hose.
• Outdoor Coil (Sea Coast) – Moist air in ocean locations
can carry salt, which is corrosive to most metal. Units
that are located near the ocean require frequent in-
spections and maintenance. These inspections will de-
termine 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 perma-
nently 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.
Motor Nameplate:_________ Actual:__________.
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 follow-
ing maintenance may be performed by the homeowner.
IMPORTANT
After testing has been completed, properly reposition
test jumper across desired timing pins
Maintenance
DEALER
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard. Can cause injury or
death. Unit must be properly grounded in
accordance with national and local codes.
Line voltage is present at all components
when unit is not in operation on units with
single-pole contactors. Disconnect all remote
electric power supplies before opening
access panel. Unit may have multiple power
supplies.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be
performed by a licensed professional HVAC installer or
equivalent, service agency, or the gas supplier.
NOTICE !
Failure to follow instructions will cause damage to
the unit.
This unit is equipped with an aluminum coil.
Aluminum coils may be damaged by exposure to
solutions with a pH below 5 or above 9. The alumi-
num coil should be cleaned using potable water
at a moderate pressure (less than 50psi). If the
coil cannot be cleaned using water alone, Lennox
recommends use of a coil cleaner with a pH in the
range of 5 to 9. The coil must be rinsed thoroughly
after cleaning.
In coastal areas, the coil should be cleaned with
potable water several times per year to avoid corro-
sive buildup (salt).
Maintenance and service must be performed by a quali-
fied 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.
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
the steel and aluminum parts, diminish performance
and affect longevity of the unit.
Outdoor Coil
The outdoor unit must be properly maintained to ensure
its proper operation.
• Please contact your dealer to schedule proper inspec-
tion and maintenance for your equipment.
• Make sure no obstructions restrict airflow to the outdoor unit.
• Grass clippings, leaves, or shrubs crowding the unit can
cause the unit to work harder and use more energy.
• Keep shrubbery trimmed away from the unit and peri-
odically check for debris which collects around the unit.
Routine Maintenance
In order to ensure peak performance, your system must
be properly maintained. Clogged filters and blocked airflow
prevent your unit from operating at its most efficient level.
1 - Air Filter – Ask your Lennox dealer to show you
where your indoor unit's filter is located. It will be
either at the indoor unit (installed internal or external
to the cabinet) or behind a return air grille in the wall
or ceiling. Check the filter monthly and clean or
replace it as needed.
2 - Disposable Filter – Disposable filters should be
replaced with a filter of the same type and size.
NOTE – If you are unsure about the filter required for your
system, call your Lennox dealer for assistance.
3 - Reusable Filter – Many indoor units are equipped
with reusable foam filters. Clean foam filters with
a mild soap and water solution; rinse thoroughly;
allow filter to dry completely before returning it to
the unit or grille.
NOTE – The filter and all access panels must be in place
any time the unit is in operation.
4 - 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.)
Thermostat Operation
See the thermostat homeowner manual for instructions on
how to operate your thermostat.
Heat Pump Operation
Your new Lennox heat pump has several characteristics
that you should be aware of:
• Heat pumps satisfy heating demand by delivering large
amounts of warm air into the living space. This is quite
different from gas- or oil-fired furnaces or an electric fur-
nace 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 cy-
cle 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 de-
frost 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 EMER-
GENCY HEAT setting to obtain temporary heat without
the risk of serious damage to the heat pump.
In EMERGENCY HEAT mode, all heating demand is sat-
isfied by auxiliary heat; heat pump operation is locked out.
After a six-hour compressor crankcase warm-up period,
the thermostat can be switched to the HEAT setting and
normal heat pump operation may resume.
Preservice Check
If your system fails to operate, check the following before
calling for service:
• Verify room thermostat settings are correct.
• Verify that all electrical disconnect switches are ON.
• Check for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.
• Verify unit access panels are in place.
• Verify air filter is clean.
• If service is needed, locate and write down the unit
model number and have it handy before calling.
Accessories

• Lennox Price Book
ML16XP1 OPERATING SEQUENCE
This is the sequence of operation for ML16XP1 series
units. The sequence is outlined by numbered steps which
correspond to circled numbers on the adjacent diagram.
The steps are identical for both cooling and first stage
heating demand with the exception reversing valve L1
is energized during cooling demand and de-energized
during heating demand.
NOTE – Transformer in indoor unit supplies power (24
VAC) to the thermostat and outdoor unit controls.
COOLING:
Internal thermostat wiring energizes terminal O by cooling
mode selection, energizing the reversing valve L1.
1 - Demand initiates at Y1 in the thermostat.
2 - 24VAC energizes compressor contactor K1.
3 - K1-1 N.O. closes, energizing compressor (B1) and
outdoor fan motor (B4).
END OF COOLING DEMAND:
4 - Demand is satisfied. Terminal Y1 is de-energized.
5 - Compressor contactor K1 is de-energized.
6 - K1-1 opens and compressor (B1) and outdoor fan
motor (B4) are de-energized and stop immediately.
FIRST STAGE HEAT:
Internal thermostat wiring de-energizes terminal O by
heating mode selection, de-energizing the reversing valve
L1.
See steps 1, 2 and 3.
End of FIRST STAGE HEAT:
See steps 4, 5 and 6.
DEFROST MODE:
When a defrost cycle is initiated, the control energizes
the reversing valve solenoid and turns off the condenser
fan. The control will also put 24VAC on the “W1” (auxil-
iary heat) line. The unit will stay in this mode until either
the coil sensor temperature is above the selected termi-
nation temperature, the defrost time of 14 minutes has
been completed, or the room thermostat demand cycle
has been satisfied. (If the temperature select shunt is not
installed, the default termination temperature will be 90°F.)
If the room thermostat demand cycle terminates the cycle,
the defrost cycle will be held until the next room thermo-
stat demand cycle. If the coil sensor temperature is still
below the selected termination temperature, the control
will continue the defrost cycle until the cycle is terminated
in one of the methods mentioned above. If a defrost is ter-
minated by time and the coil temperature did not remain
above 35°F (2°C) for 4 minutes the control will go to the
30-minute Time/Temperature mode.
Servicing Units Void of Charge
If the outdoor unit is void of refrigerant, clean the system
using the procedure described below.
1 - Leak check system using procedure outlined on
page 17.
2 - Evacuate the system using procedure outlined on
page 18.
3 - Use nitrogen to break the vacuum and install a new
filter drier in the system.
4 - Evacuate the system again using procedure
outlined on page 18.
5 - Weigh in refrigerant.
Start-Up
IMPORTANT
If unit is equipped with a crankcase heater, it should
be energized 24 hours before unit start-up to prevent
compressor damage as a result of slugging.
1 - Rotate fan to check for binding.
2 - Inspect all factory and field-installed wiring for loose
connections.
3 - After evacuation is complete, open the liquid line
and suction line service valves to release the
refrigerant charge (contained in outdoor unit) into
the system.
4 - Replace the stem caps and tighten as specified in
Operating Service Valves on page 7.
5 - Check voltage supply at the disconnect switch. The
voltage must be within the range listed on the unit's
nameplate. If not, do not start the equipment until
you have consulted with the power company and
the voltage condition has been corrected.
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 refrigerate by using
the procedures listed under Start-Up and Charging
Procedures.
9 - Recheck voltage while the unit is running. Power
must be within range shown on the nameplate.
