THIS MANUAL MUST BE LEFT WITH THE
OWNER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
Shipping and Packing List
General
Check the components for shipping damage. If you
nd any damage, immediately contact the last car-
rier. Package 1 of 1 contains the following:
1 - Assembled Lennox REAL heat pump outdoor
unit
1 - Outdoor unit installation instruction
1 - Warranty card
1 - Terminating resistor
1 - Magnet ring
The Lennox REAL heat pump outdoor units are
matched with up to nine indoor units to create a VRF
(variable refrigerant ow) system that uses R-410A
refrigerant.
Refer to the Product Specication bulletin (EHB) for
the proper use of these heat pumps with matching
indoor units, header pipes, branch pipes, line sets
and controls.
These instructions are intended as a general guide
and do not supersede local or national codes in any
way. Authorities having jurisdiction should be con-
sulted before installation.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, ser-
vice or maintenance can cause property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
Installation and service must be performed by a li-
censed professional HVAC installer, service agency
or the gas supplier.
Failure to follow safety warnings and these instruc-
tions exactly could result in property damage, dan-
gerous operation, serious injury, or death.
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in
order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the ap-
plication needs must be made by a licensed profes-
sional HVAC installer (or equivalent) using factory-
specied parts.
Do not use this system if any part has been under
water. A ood-damaged appliance is extremely dan-
gerous. Immediately call a licensed professional
HVAC service technician (or equivalent) to inspect
the system and to replace all controls and electrical
parts that have been wet, or to replace the system, if
deemed necessary.
CAUTION
As with any mechanical equipment, contact with sharp
sheet metal edges can result in personal injury. Take
care while handling this equipment and wear gloves and
protective clothing.
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.
CAUTION
To ensure proper system performance and reliability,
Lennox does not recommend operation of VRF systems
during any phase of construction. Construction debris,
low temperatures, harmful vapors, and operation of the
unit with misplaced lters can damage the units. Failure
to follow these guidelines will result in the warranty be-
ing voided.
