Service Literature

The 14HPX is a residential split-system heat pump. The

series is designed for use with expansion valves (TXV) and

HFC−410A refrigerant. All 14HPX units utilize scroll compres-

sors.

14HPX series units are available in 1−1/2, 2, 2 -1/2, 3, 3

-1/2, 4 and 5 ton capacities. All major components (indoor

blower and coil) must be matched according to Lennox rec-

ommendations for the compressor to be covered under

warranty. Refer to the Engineering Handbook for approved

system matchups.

This manual is divided into sections which discuss the

major components, refrigerant system, charging proce-

dure, maintenance and operation sequence.

Information contained in this manual is intended for use by

qualified service technicians only. All specifications are subject

to change.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)

Precautions and Procedures

CAUTION

Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic

components. Take precautions during unit instal-

lation and service to protect the unit's electronic

controls. Precautions will help to avoid control

exposure to electrostatic discharge by putting

the unit, the control and the technician at the

same electrostatic potential. Neutralize electro-

static charge by touching hand and all tools on an

unpainted unit surface before performing any

service procedure.

WARNING

Refrigerant can be harmful if it is inhaled. Refrigerant

must be used and recovered responsibly.

Failure to follow this warning may result in person-

al injury or death.
