16 Seer Lennox unit

[lowridemazb2200]

I'm trying to get this 16 seer 2 stage condenser unit to run. This is in a brand new house trying to complete the start up. It has 3 wires coming out of the condenser instead of two. So it is a 2 speed compressor. The air hander blows out air, but the condenser does not run. According to the manual I have it wired up right. That seems kinda wierd though it is not running. So can anyone help me?

Thanks

The best advice I can give is don't touch it without someone who knows what they are doing is there.That is a expensive unit to miswire and mess it up.

Has anyone used one of these units before? I'm using a honeywell vision pro 8000 with one heat and one cool.

I do this for a living but have only been in the field for 4 years. I think I'm doing pretty good for the little experience that I do have.

Thanks for all the help

Dude!! I could tell you , but then I would have to kill you.LOL:D

one heat one cool on a 2 stage a/c unit...........:rolleyes:




houston we have a problem..........:(




what diagram were you looking at that you thought you had it wired right??

[superd77]

It has 3 wires coming out of the condenser instead of two.

Thanks


Three wires ain't gonna cut it!:)

Three wires ain't gonna cut it!:)



3 will for a xc16, they need to be hooked up right though......;)

[lowridemazb2200]

Yeah this is what the supervisor gave me was a one heat one cool thermostat on a 2 stage ac unit. I thought that was messed up. Why have the customer pay for a nice unit and not give them all the options the unit is capable of doing.

I have the G61MPV series furnace.

here is the wiring diagram that is in the furnace manual:

tstat control term. strip outdoor unit
w------W1
r-------R
g-------G
c-------C------------------c
Y2
y-------Y1-----------------y

That is how I have it wired up

Three won't work, Dude!!!:rolleyes: It will never go into high speed!!! Especially if you don't hook up the blue wire.:D

A pro 8000 will do anything you want it to except doing flips.Read the directions there not only there to fill the box.

The wiring diagram for the outside unit should be in the outdoor unit.....:rolleyes:

Maybe your superviser needs to read the manual..

Dude........... xc16 only has Y1, Y2 and common to hook up to.


how many wires do you need????????

According to the Lennoxdavenet.net , You have to have FOUR wires for the outdoor and indoor to work properly!!!

There is a blue wire in the outdoor unit that tells the A/H it is in second stage. If it is not hooked up it won't work!!!:cool:

[lowridemazb2200]

I will tell my supervisor to get me a 2 cool 1 heat thermostat with dehumidification control. Then the customer will be getting what they sold him.

according to this diagram http://tech.lennoxintl.com/PDFs/535286wia.pdf


there are only 3 wires to hook up on this unit.............;)

he is working with a gas furnace and straight a/c right?????



you may be thinking of a xc21 unit with the protection module, they need 4 wires.

You are right I have those exact ones in the odu.

you still have other problems, you should at least be able to make it run on low stage with what you have......:cool:

According to RDP the pro 8000 will serve you well.

[aintitfun]

Just curious , what 2 stage compressor does lennox use, I havent seen any around here yet that are 2 stage, Is it the copeland ultratech

the guys who done the trim on it were not communicating well with each other. (that is a little obvious though) When I first got there they did not even use the same colors. So, I had to rework all the wiring. I guess I still need to rework all the wiring. This house has 4 units and they are all the same type. So, when I get it figured out I should be able to get the others one right away.

The link I found said 4 wires. But it didn't list them. I found another that did. C, Y1, Y2, and L. L is not used unless a communicating stat is used. Sorry!!:D

XP16 has the blue wire I was thinking of.
