General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities having jurisdiction before installation.
Check equipment for shipping damage. If you find any damage, immediately contact the last carrier.
Introduction
This document describes the operation of the Lennox model L3532H thermostat. Refer to the installation manual for instructions regarding installation and wiring of the thermo-stat.
Initial Thermostat Power-up
When power is initially applied to the thermostat, the dis-play will appear as shown in figure 1.
All display segments are momentarily activated. This oc-curs as a normal part of thermostat initialization. Within a few seconds, the Home Screen appears (see fig-ure 2) with default settings as shown. After about 1 minute of initialization time, the actual room temperature will be displayed.
NOTE − Tables 2 and 3 on page 8 show all system and programming defaults.
At this point, the thermostat will be fully functional; its de-fault temperature setpoint (not shown) is 70°F. At this point, if the equipment has been fully powered and if a heat demand were present, the system would begin operating.
NOTE − Temperature scale default is Fahrenheit units but may be reset to show Celsius, if desired. See page 8.
Buttons are located behind the small door on the right− hand side of the thermostat (see figure 3).
IMPORTANT Do NOT begin pressing buttons until after you read the following section describing each button.
A pale blue display backlight illuminates for 30 seconds each time any button is pressed.
When PROG or DAY/TIME is pressed, a field begins flash-ing, expecting another input. Start making changes within 15 seconds or the HOME screen will return.
When an Arrow, HOLD, HEAT, or COOL button is pressed, SETPOINT and the temperature setting appears for 15 seconds. If desired, start making changes within 15 sec-onds or the HOME screen will return. The backlight will turn off 15 seconds after the HOME screen reappears.
DAY/TIME − Setting the Day and Time
Press the DAY/TIME button and set the CURRENT hour, minute, and day of week as follows:
- “AM12″ will flash on the screen. Press the Up/Down ar-rows buttons to change the hour. (AM” or PM” must correspond to time of day.) Press DAY/TIME OR, if ad-justing for daylight savings time, pressing ENTER stores the single change and exits to the HOME screen, bypassing minutes and day of week.
- Minutes will flash. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to display the minutes past the hour. Press DAY/TIME.
- Day ”MO” (Monday) will flash. Use Up/Down arrow buttons to display the current day. Day selections are abbreviated as “MO”, “TU”, “WE”, “TH”, “FR”, “SA”, and “SU”. Press DAY/TIME.
- The HOME screen reappears; confirm day and time are correct. This completes day and time setting.
HEAT − Using the Heat Mode
Normal Heat Mode
In normal heat mode, both the heat pump and the backup heat source are used to provide heat. If the thermostat de-tects that the heat pump is not able to provide enough heat (as may be the case in very cold weather), then the backup heat source is activated.
Emergency Heat Mode
In emergency heat mode, only the backup heat source provides heat the heat pump is disabled. The backup heat source is activated only when there is a heat demand.
Enabling Normal Heat Mode
Use the HEAT button to select normal heat mode, emer-gency heat mode, or to disable heat modes as desired. If the thermostat is in OFF or COOL mode, pressing the Heat button enables Heat mode. This is indicated by HEAT in the SYSTEM box as shown in figure 4.
Enabling Emergency Heat Mode
If the thermostat is in heat mode, pressing the Heat button enables EMG. HEAT mode (see figure 5). If the thermostat is in normal heat mode when the HEAT button is pressed, then emergency heat mode is enabled.
Disabling Heat Mode
If the thermostat is in emergency heat mode when the HEAT button is pressed, then heat modes are disabled. This is indicated by OFF in the SYSTEM box as shown in figure 6.
Heating Demand
The thermostat must be in either normal or emergency heat mode in order to properly control the heating equip-ment. In either heat mode, when the actual temperature is lower than the temperature setpoint (as shown in figure 7), the thermostat detects a heating demand and activates the heating equipment to satisfy the demand. Heating opera-tion is indicated by a flame icon in the SYSTEM box.
When the actual temperature rises above the temperature setpoint, the flame icon will disappear. This indicates that the heating demand has been satisfied and that the heat-ing equipment has been turned off.
Heat pump operation is locked out for 5 minutes after a de-mand has been satisfied. If another heat pump demand occurs during this 5−minute interval, the flame icon will flash; however, the heat pump will not run until the 5−min-ute delay has elapsed.
NOTE − The heat pump is activated for at least 4 minutes if no buttons are pressed during the demand interval. The backup heat source is activated for at least 3 minutes if no buttons are pressed during the demand interval.
If your system supports 3−stage heating (as does the L3532H thermostat), you may notice various heating lev-els being delivered during a demand.
If a small heat pump heating demand is present, “Lo” is dis-played in the SYSTEM box; if a large heat pump heating demand is present, “Hi” is displayed (see figure 8).
COOL − Using the Cool Mode
Enabling and Disabling Cool Mode
Use the COOL button to enable or disable cool mode as desired. If the thermostat is in HEAT or OFF mode, cool mode is enabled when the COOL button is pressed. This is indicated by COOL in the SYSTEM box (see figure 9).
If the thermostat is in cool mode, pressing the Cool button disables COOL mode (indicated by OFF in the SYSTEM box − see figure 10).
Cooling Demand
Set the thermostat to cool mode to control the cooling equipment. Then, if the room temperature is higher than the temperature setpoint, as shown in figure 11, the ther-mostat detects a cooling demand and will activate the cool-ing equipment to satisfy the demand.
Cooling operation is indicated by flashing snowflake” icons in the SYSTEM box. When the actual temperature drops below the temperature setpoint, the snowflake icons will disappear. This indicates that the cooling demand has been satisfied and that the cooling equipment has been turned off.
If your system supports 2−stage cooling (as does the L3532H thermostat), you may notice various cooling levels being delivered during a demand. Also, if a small cooling demand is present, “Lo” will be displayed in the SYSTEM box. However, if a large cooling demand is present, “Hi” will be displayed in the SYSTEM box (shown in figure 11).
NOTE − If no buttons are pressed during a demand for cooling, the equipment must operate for at least 4 minutes. After a demand has been satisfied, cooling equipment op-eration is locked out for 5 minutes. If another cooling de-mand occurs during this 5−minute interval, COOL” and the snowflakes will flash; however, the cooling equipment will not operate until the 5−minute delay has elapsed.
HOLD − Using Temperature Hold Modes
When HOLD is displayed at the HOME screen, the ther-mostat is in a temperature hold condition. This means that the temperature program data is ignored and the thermo-stat functions much like a non−programmable thermostat.
Adjusting Temperature Setpoint in Hold Mode
The temperature setpoint represents the desired tempera-ture of the space around the thermostat. The default tem-perature setpoint in Hold mode is 70°F.
To adjust the setpoint, press the UP or DOWN (
) arrow buttons (see figure 12); the existing setpoint is displayed to the right of the actual room temperature. Each button press adjusts the setpoint up or down by 1 degree.
After the desired setpoint is reached, the HOME screen will reappear after about 15 seconds.
Permanent Hold Mode
At any time the program is running, from the HOME screen, set a permanent hold (program override) by press-ing the HOLD button (see figure 12). The thermostat now functions much like a non−programmable thermostat. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to adjust the hold setpoint. To return to the program, press HOLD again.
Temporary (2-Hour) Hold
At any time the program is running, from the HOME screen, set a temporary 2-hour hold by pressing the Up/Down arrow buttons until the desired setpoint is displayed; HOLD” flashes (see figure 13). This overrides the pro-gram for 2 hours from the last button press, then returns to the program.
While in Temporary Hold, press HOLD once to switch to Permanent Hold (HOLD displays solid; PROG not dis-played); press HOLD again to return to the program (PROG displays; HOLD not displayed).
PROG − Thermostat Programming
The L3532H thermostat can be programmed to perform a set of either heating or cooling events (but not a combination of heat and cool) for 5 consecutive days using a set of 4 unique events per day. The remaining 2 days can then be set for a different set of 4 unique events per day. Both the consecutive days and the events/temperature are set by the homeowner.
To Change Consecutive Days…
To alter the 5 consecutive days, press and hold the PROG button for 5 seconds. The 5 consecutive day period is then displayed (default is MOnday thru FRiday). To change to a different 5-consecutive days, use the Up/Down arrow buttons. Any 5 consecutive−day span may be selected, for example, in figure 14, Saturday through Wednesday is defined as the 5−day programming (Thurs-day and Friday would constitute the 2−day programming). Press the PROG button when finished.
To Set Program Events and Temperatures...
Figure 15 gives an example of how the two sets of pro-grams can be set for a normal workweek and weekend.
In the 5−day bar graph, note how programs A and C reflect the desired warmth while the home IS occupied (72°); B allows less heating while the home is NOT occupied; D re-flects a cooler sleeping temperature. The 2−day bar graph would support day−long occupancy and, because the first program begins later, a less−demanding time schedule.
NOTE − Pressing ENTER during the following program-ming steps, saves and exits to the HOME screen.
To program events and temperatures, perform the follow-ing steps, once with Cool selected and once with Heat se-lected.
- Press and release PROG. AM 6:00″, period A”, and the 5 consecutive days are displayed; “AM 6” flashes.
- Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to select the desired hour; press PROG when the desired hour is reached.
- Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to select the desired minute; press PROG.
- Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to select the desired temperature setpoint; press PROG.
- Repeat steps 2 through 4 for periods B, C, and D.
- Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the 2−day program.
NOTE − This thermostat will NOT automatically switch from heating to cooling, or vice versa; operator involve-ment is required. At the change of seasons, or to accomo-date abnormal seasonal temperature swings, you must manually select to the opposite conditioning (Heat or Cool) program.
FAN − Controlling the Fan Operation
Use the FAN button to select either continuous fan mode or auto fan mode.
To change from continuous to auto fan mode (or vice ver-sa), press the FAN button. Note whether a fan icon in the FAN box is present (indicating that the fan is running) or not (fan not running).
If continuous fan mode is enabled (ON displayed in FAN box − see figure 16), the fan will run continuously regard-less of whether the heating or cooling equipment is running.
If auto fan mode is selected (AUTO displayed in FAN box − see figure 17), the fan will only run when the heating or cooling equipment is running.
SETTINGS − Filter/Maintenance Reminders
The L3532H thermostat is designed to remind you when the filter needs changing or when routine maintenance is required, as (and if) defined, by you. These optional re-minders are not enabled until you activate them. To do so, press the Settings button (shown below the Fan button in figure 17) once or twice for the desired reminder as shown in figure 18 and as described in table 1.
The default setting for the reminders is OFF (disabled). Press Up/Down arrow buttons to select the desired re-minder intervals.
Table 1. Filter and Maintenance Reminders
| Buttons to Use | Reminder | Available Settings and How to Use | |
| Settings | FILTER | Total fan run time expressed in | |
| (1st press) | months (Off, 1, 3, 6, 12); for | ||
| then Arrows | example, if fan runs 12 hours a | ||
| to scroll | day, 1 month reminder displays | ||
| selections | in 2 calendar months. | ||
| Settings | MAINT | Elapsed chronological time in | |
| (2nd press) | months (Off, 6, 12). Use this, | ||
| then Arrows | for example, to remind yourself | ||
| to scroll | when to perform routine checks | ||
| selections | or when to call a technician for | ||
| perodic preventive | |||
| maintenance. | |||
| Enter | Stores settings. |
NOTE − The HOME screen will reappear about 15 seconds after the final arrow button press. OR, press ENTER at any time to store any changes and exit to the HOME screen.
After either programmed interval has elapsed, the remind-er will be displayed as shown in figure 19.
After the filter has been changed or maintenance per-formed, reset the reminder by pressing the SETTINGS button for 4 seconds. The screen will blink for a few mo-ments to indicate that the timer has been reset.
SETTINGS − Balance Point
NOTE − The balance point is only available with the out-door sensor.
If the optional outdoor sensor (X2658) is connected to the thermostat, balance point adjustment is available. The bal-ance point feature allows the measured outdoor tempera-ture to govern operation of the heat pump and backup heat source.
Use the SETTINGS button to access the balance point setting. If the outdoor sensor is attached to the thermostat, press the SETTINGS button three times to access the Bal-ance Point Settings screen (see figure 20).
The balance point can be set at any temperature between 1°F and 55°F (−17°C to 13°C). A balance point setting of zero disables the balance point function (in this case, the thermostat behaves as if no outdoor sensor is attached). The default balance point setting is 55°F.
To adjust the balance point up or down, press the Up/Down arrow buttons to the right of the display screen. The bal-ance point setting increases by 1°F each time the Up but-ton is pressed and decreases by 1°F each time the Down button is pressed.
After the desired balance point is reached, the HOME screen will reappear after about 15 seconds.
NOTE − The balance point feature allows the outdoor tem-perature to rise or fall 3°F above or below the balance point. This prevents excessive cycling of the equipment when the outdoor temperature is near the balance point. For example, if the balance point is 40°F and the actual outdoor temperature is 35°F, the outdoor temperature must rise to 43°F before equipment adjustment occurs. Conversely, if the balance point is 40°F and the actual out-door temperature is 45°F, the outdoor temperature must drop to 37°F before equipment adjustment occurs
Service Indicator
When abnormal equipment operation is detected, the SERVICE indicator will flash on the screen (see figure 21). This indicates that the equipment requires service from a qualified service technician.
Thermostat RESET
Under some abnormal conditions, it may be necessary to “reset” the thermostat to its default condition. Such a RE-SET would delete all programming and settings and there-fore should only be used on rare occasions when the the thermostat fails to function as designd and/or as pro-grammed. Such an instance can occur as a result of a pow-er surge or similar electrical disturbance (e.g. after an elec-trical storm or power outage). The RESET button can be used to recover from this situation.
CAUTION When the RESET button is pressed, ALL settings re-vert back to the defaults, including the default pro-gram (see tables 2 and 3).
The RESET button is an unlabeled, recessed button lo-cated behind the door, on the right−hand side of the ther-mostat, below the SETTINGS button (see figure 3). Use a paper clip or small pencil to press the RESET button; ALL thermostat settings will be reset to the defaults listed in the Default Thermostat Settings section.
Removing/Installing Thermostat
The thermostat hinges on tabs on the top of the subbase; no tool is needed to remove the thermostat from the sub-base. Pivot the bottom of the thermostat outward (releas-ing the snaps), then lift up to remove.
To replace it, first position the top tilted toward the wall bracket and align it until you feel the tabs and slots engage; then, while the top is in place, pivot the bottom toward the wall until the thermostat snaps into place.
Default Thermostat Settings
Default thermostat settings are shown in table 2 and the default program is shown in table 3.
