Service Soon alerts will escalate to Service Urgent. • Service Soon alerts are found only in under the installer alert button. • Information Only-Dealer is information only and helps Lennox interpret test results and understand complicated behaviors. Information Only are not reported to homeowner or dealer.
• Go to menu > settings > advanced settings > view dealer control center > equipment and press reset all equipment. This will allow the system to auto-detect any Lennox communicating devices attached. Thermostat did not find an indoor unit. Make sure there is an Lennox communicating indoor unit on the system. • Check for voltage and missing component.

Review both active and cleared alerts. • iComfort Wi-Fi – Press and hold the Lennox logo on the bottom right of stat for 5 seconds to access the dealer control center. Follow the prompts to access the dealer / installer screen and select the “Alerts” tab. Review alert code details to determine which device or unit has the communication problem.

• If detected (reading in range), appropriate feature will be set as ‘installed’ and shown in the ‘About’ screen. There is a discharge air temperature sensor issue. • Confirm there is no short or open circuits in the Lennox communicating thermostat connections to any of the other components in the communication system.

If error is applicable to the XC20, XC25, XP20 or XP25, the outdoor control will need to be replaced. • Lennox communicating thermostat sends a Y1 compressor demand to the indoor control requesting it to relay the demand to the outdoor unit.

Thermostat Ventilation Parameters Table 11. S40 Thermostat Ventilation Parameters Parameter (In alphabetical Description order) Ventilation Rates Thermostat ventilation CFM parameters are to be adjusted only after the HRV/ERV set up is completed and the CFMs are known. Once the thermostat’s CFMs are adjusted they are used with the thermostat’s timer algorithm to determine how long to run the HRV/ERV and to change from low to high speed if a 2-stage HRV/ERVs.
Table 11. S40 Thermostat Ventilation Parameters Parameter (In alphabetical Description order) Ventilation Control Mode - ASHRAE • In this mode the thermostat can assist the installer by validating the ventilation CFMs are capable of meeting the ASHRAE required ventilation volumes, but the thermostat has no ability to control CFM from the HRV/ERV.
