I − UNIT INFORMATION
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.
All major components (indoor blower and coil) must be
matched according to Lennox recommendations for the
compressor to be covered under warranty. Refer to the En-
gineering Handbook for approved system matchups. A
missapplied system will cause erratic operation and can re-
sult in early compressor failure.
IMPORTANT
This unit must be matched with an indoor coil as
specified in Lennox’ Engineering Handbook.
