Requirements  
WARNING  
Excessive Weight Hazard - Use two or more people  
when moving and installing the unit. Failure to do so can  
result in back or other type of injury.  
Select the final air discharge position which best suits the  
site conditions. Consider required clearances, space,  
routing requirements for refrigerant line, condensate  
disposal, filters, duct system, wiring, and accessibility for  
service. Refer to the air handler rating plate on the air  
handler for specific information.  
IMPORTANT  
WARNING  
The CBX25UH units are designed to match, and must be  
used with, outdoor units as rated. The indoor sections  
are manufactured with a check/expansion valve (TXV)  
to provide optimum refrigerant control and system  
performance with a variety of different capacities of out-  
door units.  
Danger of explosion. Keep flammable ma-  
terials and vapors, such as gasoline, away  
from air handler. Place air handler so that  
heating elements are at least 18 inches (46  
cm) above the floor for a garage installa-  
tion. Failure to follow these instructions  
can result in death, explosion, or fire.  
CAUTION  
NOTES —  
Physical contact with metal edges and corners while  
applying excessive force or rapid motion can result in  
personal injury. Be aware of, and use caution when  
working near these areas during installation or while  
servicing this equipment.  
During cooling operation, excessive sweating may occur if  
the air handler is installed in a warm and humid space.  
If installed in an unconditioned space, sealant should be  
applied around the electrical wires, refrigerant tubing, and  
condensate lines where they enter the cabinet.  
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do  
not supersede local or national codes in any way. Consult  
authorities having jurisdiction before installation.  
Electrical wires should be sealed on the inside where they  
exit the conduit opening. Sealant is required to prevent air  
leakage into, and condensate from forming inside of, the  
air handler, the control box, and on the electrical controls.  
Compliance with all local, state, or national codes  
pertaining to this type of equipment should be determined  
prior to installation. Read this instruction manual, as well  
as the instructions supplied in separate equipment, before  
starting the installation.  
This unit is approved for installation clearance to  
combustible material as stated on the unit rating plate.  
Accessibility and service clearances must take  
precedence over combustible material clearances.  
In addition to conforming to manufacturer's installation  
instructions and local municipal building codes, installation  
of Lennox air handler units (with or without optional electric  
heat), MUST conform with National Fire Protection  
Association (NFPA) standards: “Standard for Installation  
of Air Conditioning and Ventilation Systems” (NFPA No.  
90A) and “Standard for Installation of Residence Type  
Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems” (NFPA  
No. 90B).  
The air handler must be installed so that free access is  
allowed to the coil/filter compartment and blower/control  
compartment.  
Installation Clearances  
NON-DUCTED RETURN CLOSET INSTALLATION  
The air handler can be installed in a closet with a false  
bottom to form a return air plenum. It may also be installed  
with a return air plenum under the air handler.  
All models are designed for indoor installation only. The  
installation of the air handler, field wiring, duct system, etc.  
must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical  
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition) in the United  
States, and any state laws, and local ordinances (including  
plumbing or wastewater codes). Local authorities having  
jurisdiction should be consulted before installation is  
made. Such applicable regulations or requirements take  
precedence over the general instructions in this manual.  
Louvers or return air grilles are field‐supplied. Local codes  
may limit application of systems without a ducted return to  
single story buildings.  
When a CBX25UH unit is installed in a closet with a  
louvered return opening, the minimum open area for the  
louvers will be:  
S
S
S
320 square inches for -018 and -024 models;  
360 square inches for -030 and -036 models;  
450 square inches for -042 thru -060 models.  
Install the conditioned air plenum, ducts and air filters  
(provided) in accordance with NFPA 90B Standard for the  
Installation of Warm Air Heating and Air-Conditioning  
Systems (latest edition).  
If the free area is not known, assume a 25% free area for  
wood or a 75% free area for metal louvers or grilles. Using  
the louver dimensions and the 25% or 75% assumption,  
determine if the open area meets the minimum open area  
listed above.  
The air handler is shipped from the factory completely  
assembled. The unit is provided with flanges for the  
connection of the duct system.  
Page 3  
CBX25UH SERIES  
 
 
If a return air plenum is used, the return air grille should be  
immediately in front of the opening in the plenum to allow  
for the free flow of return air. When not installed in front of  
the opening, there must be adequate clearance around the  
air handler to allow for the free flow of return air.  
HORIZONTAL APPLICATIONS  
IMPORTANT  
When removing the coil, there is possible danger of  
equipment damage and personal injury. Be careful when  
removing the coil assembly from a unit installed in right-  
or left-hand applications. The coil may tip into the drain  
pan once it is clear of the cabinet. Support the coil when  
removing it.  
Installation  
Each unit consists of a blower assembly, refrigerant coil,  
and controls, in an insulated galvanized steel factory  
finished enclosure. Knockouts are provided for electrical  
wiring entrance.

2. If installing a unit in an upflow application, remove the  
horizontal drain pan. IMPORTANT - The horizontal drain pan  
is not required in upflow air discharge installations; its removal  
provides the best efficiency and air flow.  
NOTE — When the unit is installed in horizontal  
applications, a secondary drain pan is recommended.  
Refer to local codes.  
NOTE — This unit may be installed in left-hand or  
right-hand air discharge horizontal applications. Adequate  
support must be provided to ensure cabinet integrity.  
Ensure that there is adequate room to remove service and  
access panels if installing in the horizontal position.  
3. Place the unit in the desired location and slope unit as  
previously mentioned. Connect return and supply air  
plenums as required using sheet metal screws.  
4. Install units that have no return air plenum on a stand  
that is at least 14” from the floor. This will allow proper  
air return.  
LEFT-HAND DISCHARGE  
1. Determine knockouts required for drain line  
connections.

must be supported. If you use a chain or strap, use a  
piece of angle iron or sheet metal attached to the unit  
(either above or below) to support the length of the  
cabinet. Use securing screws no longer than 1/2 inch  
to avoid damaging the coil or filter. See figure 2. Use  
sheet metal screws to connect the return and supply  
air plenums as required.  
3. Remove coil assembly, bottom drain pan and  
horizontal drain pan as one assembly from the air  
handler.

IMPORTANT  
On units of this type, where the blower “draws” rather than “blows” air through the coil, traps must be installed in the con-  
densate drain lines (primary and auxiliary, if used). Traps prevent the blower from drawing air through the drain lines into  
the air supply.

5. Make sure drain ports and drain pan are free of all  
debris.  
IMPORTANT  
6. Plug and check any unused drain pan openings for  
tightness. Torque plugs to 30 in. lb. to prevent water  
leaks or seepage from the drain pan.  
A field-fabricated secondary drain pan, with a drain pipe  
to the outside of the building, is required in all installa-  
tions over a finished living space or in any area that may  
be damaged by overflow from the main drain pan. In  
some localities, local codes may require a secondary  
drain pan for any horizontal installation.  
7. Install a 2” trap in the primary drain lines as close to the  
unit as practical (see figure 9). Make sure the top of the  
trap is below the connection to the drain pan to allow  
complete drainage of the pan.  
The air handler is provided with ¾” NPT condensate drain  
connections.  
NOTE — Horizontal runs must have an anti-siphon air vent  
(standpipe) installed ahead of the horizontal run (See  
figure 9). An extremely long horizontal run may require an  
oversized drain line to eliminate air trapping.  
SLOPING THE DRAIN  
Make sure the unit is sloped (similar to the slope shown in  
figure 10) (horizontal or upflow) so that the drain pan will  
empty completely without water standing in the pan.  
NOTE — Do not operate air handler without a drain trap.  
The condensate drain is on the negative pressure side of  
the blower; therefore, air being pulled through the  
condensate line will prevent positive drainage without a  
proper trap.  
THIS CORNER SHOULD BE 5/8” (+/- 1/8”) HIGHER  
THAN DRAIN CORNER  
8. Route the drain line to the outside or to an appropriate  
drain. Drain lines must be installed so they do not block  
service access to the front of the air handler. A 24”  
clearance is required for filter, coil, or blower removal  
and service access.  
THIS CORNER SHOULD BE  
5/8” (+/- 1/8”) HIGHER THAN  
DRAIN CORNER  
NOTE — Check local codes before connecting the drain  
line to an existing drainage system.  
Insulate the drain lines where sweating could cause water  
damage.  
DRAIN CORNER  
TEST CONDENSATE DRAIN  
Test the drain pan and drain line after installation:  
1. Pour several quarts of water into drain pan, enough to  
fill drain trap and line.  
Figure 10. Sloping the Drain  
2. Check to make sure the drain pan is draining  
completely, no leaks are found in drain line fittings, and  
water is draining from the end of the primary drain line.  
INSTALL CONDENSATE DRAIN  
1. Remove the appropriate drain knockouts. If  
necessary, remove the indoor coil assembly from the  
cabinet.  
3. Correct any leaks found.  
Duct System and Filters  
2. Connect primary drain line connection to the primary  
drain pan connection. The primary drain connection is  
flush with the bottom of the inside of the pan.  
Secondary connection is raised above the bottom of  
the inside of the pan.  
DUCT SYSTEM  
The air handler is provided with flanges for the connection  
of the plenum and ducts. The air handler is equipped with  
flanges that can form a filter rack for the installation of the  
air filter, or the filter may be installed as part of the return air  
duct system.  
NOTE — When making drain fitting connections to the  
drain pan, hand tighten the fitting and use a thread sealant.  
Over-tightening the fittings can split connections on the  
drain pan.  
Supply and return duct system must be adequately sized  
to meet the system's air requirements and static pressure  
capabilities. The duct system should be insulated with a  
minimum of 1” thick insulation with a vapor barrier in  
conditioned areas or 2” minimum in unconditioned areas.  
3. If the auxiliary drain line is to be used, remove the plug  
and route the drain line so that water draining from the  
outlet will be easily noticed by the homeowner. The  
auxiliary drain line does not require venting or a trap.  
Refer to local codes.

4. After removal of drain pan plugs, check the drain port  
to see if holes have been drilled. If not drilled, use a  
19/32” bit to drill out the primary drain hole; use a 3/8”  
drill bit for the secondary drain hole. Remove all drill  
shavings.

2. Make sure that the suction line is insulated over the  
entire exposed length and that neither suction nor  
liquid lines are in direct contact with floors, walls, duct  
system, floor joists, or other piping.  
IMPORTANT  
If a high-efficiency filter is being installed as part of this  
system to ensure better indoor air quality, the filter must  
be properly sized. High-efficiency filters have a higher  
static pressure drop than standard-efficiency glass/foam  
filters. If the pressure drop is too great, system capacity  
and performance may be reduced. The pressure drop  
may also cause the limit to trip more frequently during the  
winter and the indoor coil to freeze in the summer, result-  
ing in an increase in the number of service calls.  
3. Connect the suction and liquid lines to the evaporator  
coil.  
4. To avoid damaging the rubber grommets in the cabinet  
while brazing, slide the rubber grommets over the  
refrigerant lines until they are away from the heat  
source.  
5. Braze using an alloy of silver or copper and  
phosphorus with a melting point above 1,100°F  
(593°C).  
Before using any filter with this system, check the spe-  
cifications provided by the filter manufacturer against the  
data given in the appropriate Lennox Product Specifica-  
tions bulletin. Additional information is provided in Ser-  
vice and Application Note ACC-00-2 (August 2000).  
NOTE — Do not use soft solder.  
6. Reinstall the rubber grommets after brazing is  
finished.  
7. Make sure outdoor unit has been put in place  
according to the Installation Instructions and is  
connected to the refrigerant lines.  
Supply plenum should be the same size as the flanged  
opening provided around the blower outlet and should  
extend at least 3 ft. from the air handler before turning or  
branching off plenum into duct runs. The plenum forms an  
extension of the blower housing and minimizes air  
expansion losses from the blower.  
Sealing the Unit  
Seal the unit so that warm air is not allowed into the  
cabinet. Warm air introduces moisture, which results in  
water blow-off problems. This is especially important when  
the unit is installed in an unconditioned area.  
INSTALLING DUCT SYSTEM  
Connect supply air duct to the flange on top of the air  
handler. If an isolation connector is used, it must be  
nonflammable.  
If installed in an unconditioned space, sealant should be  
applied around the electrical wires, refrigerant tubing, and  
condensate lines where they enter the cabinet.  
A return air duct system is recommended. If the unit is  
installed in a confined space or closet, a return connection  
must be run, full size, to a location outside the closet.  
WARNING  
There must be an airtight seal between the bottom of the  
air handler and the return air plenum. Use fiberglass  
sealing strips, caulking, or equivalent sealing method  
between the plenum and the air handler cabinet to  
ensure a tight seal. Return air must not be drawn from a  
room where this air handler or any gas-fueled appliance  
(i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide-producing  
device (i.e., wood fireplace) is installed.  
Connecting Refrigerant Lines  
Refrigerant lines must be connected by a qualified  
technician in accordance with established procedures.  
IMPORTANT  
Refrigerant lines must be clean, dehydrated, refrig-  
erant-grade copper lines. Air handler coils should be  
installed only with specified line sizes for approved sys-  
tem combinations.  
IMPORTANT  
When sealing the cabinet, be sure to seal closed any  
space around the holes where the drain lines exit the  
cabinet using duct tape and/or Permagum. Warm air  
must not be allowed to enter through any gaps or holes  
in the cabinet.  
Handle the refrigerant lines gently during the installation  
process. Sharp bends or possible kinking in the lines will  
cause a restriction.  
Do not remove the caps from the lines or system connec-  
tion points until connections are ready to be completed.  
Make sure the liquid line and suction line entry points are  
sealed with either ARMAFLEX material or with  
Permagum. Permagum may also be used to seal around  
the main and auxiliary drains and around open areas of  
electrical inlets.  
1. Route the suction and liquid lines from the fittings on  
the indoor coil to the fittings on the outdoor unit. Run  
the lines in as direct a path as possible avoiding  
unnecessary turns and bends.

connection box.  
WARNING  
Electric shock hazard! - Disconnect all  
power supplies before servicing.  
4. Use UL-listed wire nuts to connect the field supply  
conductors to the unit black and yellow leads, and the  
ground wire to ground terminal marked GND.  
Replace all parts and panels before op-  
erating.  
5. Replace the air handler access panel.  
Failure to do so can result in death or elec-  
trical shock.  
WARNING  
Electric Shock Hazard.  
Can cause injury or death.  
Foil‐faced insulation has conductive characteristics sim-  
ilar to metal. Be sure there are no electrical connections  
within a ½” of the insulation. If the foil‐faced insulation  
comes in contact with electrical voltage, the foil could  
provide a path for current to pass through to the outer  
metal cabinet. While the current produced may not be  
enough to trip existing electrical safety devices (e.g.  
fuses or circuit breakers), the current can be enough to  
cause an electric shock hazard that could cause person-  
al injury or death.

Airflow — Cooling Blower Speed  
1. Disconnect all power supplies.  
The cooling blower speed is factory configured to provide  
correct airflow for an outdoor unit that matches the cooling  
capacity rating of the air handler.  
2. Remove the air handler access panel.  
3. Locate pin number 2 on the blower relay. Two black  
wires are connected to this terminal pin. One connects  
to pin number 5 on the blower relay, one connects to  
an in-line splice connecting to a red wire.  
If the outdoor unit is smaller than the maximum cooling  
capacity rating for the air handler, the cooling blower speed  
may need to be changed. Refer to blower performance  
4. Remove the wire going to the 4-pin blower motor  
connector from the splice.  
WARNING  
Electric shock hazard! - Disconnect all  
power supplies before servicing.  
5. Connect the blower lead [Red (LO), Black (HI)] onto  
the splice from the 4-pin blower motor connector.  
NOTE — Reuse the factory-installed plastic cap on  
whichever wire is not used.  
Replace all parts and panels before op-  
erating.  
6. Replace all panels.  
7. Reconnect power.  
Failure to do so can result in death or elec-  
trical shock.

NOTE - Refer to outdoor unit installation instructions for  
system start-up instructions and refrigerant charging  
instructions.  
Operation  
TIME DELAY RELAY  
Blower time delay operation:  
PRE‐START‐UP CHECKS  
1. When cooling demand is initiated, there is a 1 second  
motor-on delay.  
S
S
Is the air handler properly and securely installed?  
If horizontally configured, is the unit sloped up to 5/8  
inch toward drain lines?  
2. After the motor-on delay expires, motor ramps up to  
100% and runs at 100% until cooling demand is  
satisfied.  
S
S
Will the unit be accessible for servicing?  
Has an auxiliary pan been provided under the unit with  
separate drain for units installed above a finished  
ceiling or in any installation where condensate  
overflow could cause damage?  
3. Once demand is met, motor runs at 100% for 45  
seconds.  
4. Motor ramps down to stop.

S
S
Have all cabinet openings and wiring been sealed?  
Is the indoor coil factory‐installed TXV properly sized  
for the outdoor unit being used?  
When the thermostat calls for cooling, 24 volts is put on the  
blower time-delay relay coil and then the indoor blower  
relay energizes. The normally open contacts close,  
causing the indoor blower motor to operate. The circuit  
between R and Y is completed, closing the circuit to the  
contactor in the outdoor unit, starting the compressor and  
outdoor fan motor.  
S
Have all unused parts and packaging been disposed  
of?  
S
S
Is the filter clean, in place, and of adequate size?  
Is the wiring neat, correct, and in accordance with the  
wiring diagram?  
On heat pumps, circuit R and O energizes the reversing  
valve, switching the valve to the cooling position. (The  
reversing valve remains energized as long as the  
thermostat selector switch is in the COOL position.)  
S
S
Is the unit properly grounded and protected (fused)?  
Is the thermostat correctly wired and in a good  
location?  
S
Are all access panels in place and secure?  
At the completion of the cooling demand the indoor blower  
and outdoor unit should cycle off. Air handler should cycle  
off 45 seconds after the outdoor unit shuts off.  
CHECK BLOWER OPERATION  
S
S
Set thermostat to FAN ON.  
HEATING (ELECTRIC HEAT ONLY)  
The indoor blower should come on.  
When the thermostat calls for heat, the circuit between R  
and W is completed, and the heat sequencer is energized.  
A time delay follows before the heating elements and the  
indoor blower motor come on. Units with a second heat  
sequencer can be connected with the first sequencer to W  
on the thermostat subbase, or they may also be connected  
to a second stage on the subbase.  
CHECK COOLING OPERATION  
S
Set thermostat to force  
a
call for cooling  
(approximately 5ºF lower than the indoor ambient  
temperature).  
S
S
S
The outdoor and indoor units should come on  
immediately.  
HEATING (HEAT PUMP)  
Check the airflow from a register to confirm that the  
system is moving cooled air.  
When the thermostat calls for heating, 24 volts is put on the  
blower time-delay relay coil. Then normally open contacts  
close, causing the indoor blower motor to operate. The  
circuit between R and Y is completed, closing the circuit to  
the contactor in the outdoor unit, starting the compressor  
and outdoor fan motor.  
Set the thermostat 5ºF higher than the indoor  
temperature. The indoor blower and outdoor unit  
should cycle off. Air handler should cycle off 45  
seconds after the outdoor unit shuts off.  
CHECK ELECTRIC HEATER (IF USED)  
If the room temperature should continue to fall, the circuit  
between R and W1 is completed by the second‐stage heat  
room thermostat. Circuit R-W1 energizes a heat  
sequencer. The completed circuit will energize  
supplemental electric heat (if applicable). Units with a  
S
Set thermostat to call for auxiliary heat (approximately  
5°F above ambient temperature). The indoor blower  
and auxiliary heat should come on together. Allow a  
minimum of 3 minutes for all sequencers to cycle on.  
Page 12  
 
 
second heat sequencer can be connected with the first  
sequencer to W1 on the thermostat. They may also be  
connected to a second heating stage W2 on the  
thermostat subbase.  
Matt‐ or foil-faced insulation is installed in indoor  
equipment to provide a barrier between outside air  
conditions (surrounding ambient temperature and  
humidity) and the varying conditions inside the unit. If the  
insulation barrier is damaged (wet, ripped, torn or  
separated from the cabinet walls), the surrounding  
ambient air will affect the inside surface temperature of the  
cabinet. The temperature/humidity difference between the  
inside and outside of the cabinet can cause condensation  
on the inside or outside of the cabinet which leads to sheet  
metal corrosion and subsequently, component failure.  
EMERGENCY HEAT (HEATING HEAT PUMP)  
If the selector switch on the thermostat is set to the  
emergency heat position, the heat pump will be locked out  
of the heating circuit, and all heating will be electric heat (if  
applicable). A jumper should be placed between W2 and E  
on the thermostat subbase so that the electric heat control  
will transfer to the first‐stage heat on the thermostat. This  
will allow the indoor blower to cycle on and off with the  
electric heat when the fan switch is in the AUTO position.  
REPAIRING DAMAGED INSULATION  
Areas of condensation on the cabinet surface are an  
indication that the insulation is in need of repair.  
Maintenance  
IMPORTANT  
Do not operate system without a filter. A filter is required  
to protect the coil, blower, and internal parts from exces-  
sive dirt and dust. The filter is placed in the return duct  
by the installer.  
If the insulation in need of repair is otherwise in good  
condition, the insulation should be cut in an X pattern,  
peeled open, glued with an appropriate all-purpose glue  
and placed back against the cabinet surface, being careful  
to not overly compress the insulation so the insulation can  
retain its original thickness. If such repair is not possible,  
replace the insulation. If using foil‐faced insulation, any  
cut, tear, or separations in the insulation surface must be  
taped with a similar foil-faced tape.  
S
S
S
Inspect air filters at least once a month and replace or  
clean as required. Dirty filters are the most common  
cause of inadequate heating or cooling performance.  
Replace disposable filters. Cleanable filters can be  
cleaned by soaking in mild detergent and rinsing with  
cold water.  
Install new/clean filters with the arrows on the side  
pointing in the direction of airflow. Do not replace a  
cleanable (high velocity) filter with a disposable (low  
velocity) filter unless return air system is properly sized  
for it.  
GLUE -make sure there is  
full coverage of glue on the  
metal or insulation so there  
are no areas where air  
pockets may form which  
can lead to sweating.  
S
If water should start coming from the secondary drain  
line, a problem exists which should be investigated  
and corrected. Contact a qualified service technician.  
Cabinet Insulation  
1. CUT INSULATION IN X PATTERN  
2. APPLY GLUE  
3. PRESS GLUED TABS AGAINST CABINET  
IMPORTANT  
DAMAGED INSULATION MUST BE REPAIRED OR  
REPLACED before the unit is put back into operation. In-  
sulation loses its insulating value when wet, damaged,  
separated or torn.
