Filters; Supply & Return Connections; Compressors; Electrical - Lennox 15CHAX−24 Installation Instructions Manual

Filters

Filters are not factory−supplied with the unit; however,
optional internally installed filter kits are available. Filter kit
92M54 is used with 2, 2−1/2 and 3−ton units. Filter kit 92M55
is used with 3−1/2, 4 and 5−ton units. The filter kits
accommodate the use of 1", 2" or 4" filters. If the optional
filter kit is not used, a filter must be field−installed.
Filters must always be installed ahead of evaporator coil
and must be kept clean or replaced. Dirty filters will reduce
the airflow of the unit. Filter sizes are shown in table 1.

The Healthy Climate PureAir
(PCO20−28) may be used with 15CHAX units installed in
horizontal air discharge applications only. Installation
hardware kit (Y0629) is required to install the PCO20−28
(X8787) in the packaged unit. The PCO20−28 is designed
for universal voltage, and is ready to operate at 208/230V.
When used, the PCO should be installed before the unit is
set in place and before the duct connections are made.
Supply & Return Duct Connections
The duct system should be designed and sized according
to the methods in Manual Q of the Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (ACCA).
A closed return duct system shall be used. This shall not
preclude use of economizers or outdoor fresh air intake. It
is recommended that supply and return duct connections
at the unit be made with flexible joints.
The supply and return air duct systems should be designed
for the CFM and static requirements of the job. They
should NOT be sized by simply matching the
dimensions of the duct connections on the unit.
Ducting installed outdoors MUST be insulated and
waterproofed.
CAUTION
When fastening duct system to side duct flanges on
unit, insert screws through duct flanges only. Do not
insert screws through casing. Outdoor duct must be
insulated and waterproofed.
The 15CHAX unit is shipped ready for horizontal air
discharge (side duct connections). If bottom air discharge
is desired, the covers must be removed from the supply
and return air openings on the bottom of the unit and
re−installed to cover the side openings.

The upper return air opening cover must be removed when
®
the PureAir air purification system (PCO20−28) is being
used. In PCO applications, both upper and lower return air
openings must be covered by the return air plenum to
ensure proper PCO operation. The upper return air
opening is not required in horizontal applications when the
PCO is not used.

Compressors

Units are shipped with the compressor mountings
factory−adjusted and ready for operation.
CAUTION
Do not loosen compressor mounting bolts.

Electrical

All wiring should be done in accordance with the
current National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 in
the United States. In Canada, wiring must be done in
accordance with the current CSA C22.2 Part 1. Local
codes may take precedence.
Use wiring with a temperature limitation of 75_C min.; run
the 208 or 230 volt, 60 hertz electric power supply through a
fused disconnect switch to control box of unit and connect
as shown in the wiring diagram located on the inside of the
control access panel. Refer to figure 5 for electrical access.
