Table 19. Alert Codes and Troubleshooting
Initial notification of critical alerts will pop-up on the home screen and will be listed under notification menu. Minor and moderate alerts are found only under the notification menu. Moderate alerts
are not e-mailed to Homeowners. Dealers will get an email and code can be seen on thermostat under the installer notification section.
NOTE:
Anytime the word
DEVICE
or
DEVICE2
is used in this table, it will be replaced on all alert code notification screens with the actual offending device name, for example, thermostat, heat
pump, etc.).

Asynchronous
Reset DEVICE2
The applicable system component (device) is resetting itself. This issue may occur during a power outage or fluctuation. If
persistent or if it coincides with the system operations then proceed with the following troubleshooting steps.
• Check the power connections.
•
Check the amperage draw at the transformer (possible overloaded).
•
Check 24VAC voltage at the system component (device).
• If the fault persists after checking the connections, replace the applicable control.
• To clear the alert code, go to
menu > settings > advanced settings > view dealer control center > notifications
and
select the alert code and press the
clear
button.

Critical
Indoor or
outdoor unit
Must Program
Unit Capacity for
DEVICE2
The thermostat does not know the capacity (tonnage) of the indoor or outdoor unit. The applicable system component is
missing the programmed unit capacity.
•
Remove power to thermostat before programming the unit control.
•
Go to applicable unit control and program the unit capacity manually (see the unit installation instruction for configuration
instructions).
•
Once configuration is complete then reconnect thermostat wires.
• 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 components attached.
• Automatically clears when the system detects that the issue no longer exists.

(Incorrect
Operation of
DEVICE 2)
• Message sent by thermostat to unit after more than 15 minutes asking for initiating heating or cooling with no response from
unit.
• Message sent by thermostat to unit after more than 15 minutes asking for termination of heating or cooling with no response
from unit.
Result
A communicating device in the system has been disabled due to a fault/lockout code in the unit’s control.
Another possible cause is electrical noise interference affecting the communicating system when the compressor contactor coil
is energized.
Corrective Action:
•
Communicating system: Wire a transient voltage suppressor in parallel with the compressor contactor coil terminals on the
outdoor unit.
•
Non-communicating outdoor unit: Wire transient voltage suppressor (
89W72
) in parallel with compressor contactor coil or
across the Y1 and C terminals on the indoor control board.
NOTE:
See service and application note
IAQ-10-01
