System Status

 

 

 

 

Emerg. Heat

All heat pumps operating in northern climates below 35°F (1.6°C) normally need a supplemental heating source. Usually it is in the form of electric heating pro- vided by the indoor unit. Other sources could be gas, oil, or hot-water back-up systems as well. The sup- plemental heat is also referred to as “second-stage”  or “back-up” heating, with “first-stage” being the heat pump only. Emergency heat is when you use your sup- plemental heat (2nd stage) by itself, without the use of your heat pump (1st stage heat). Not available for non- heat pump systems.
 

 

 

System Status

 

 

 

Aux. Heat

Is only available with heat pump system. If outdoor tem- perature is above the high balance point, only the heat pump will operate – default 50°F (10°C) high. If outdoor temperature is below the low balance point, only aux- iliary heating will operate – default 25°F (-4.0°C) low.   If outdoor temperature is in-between the high and low balance point, both the heat pump and auxiliary heat sources can operate.
Icon Function Screen Text Purpose
 

System Status

 

Will start soon

A five minute safety delay prevents the compressor from operating too soon after shut-down to allow inter- nal pressures to equalize.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

System Status

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ambient lockout

This indicates that either the outdoor temperature is above or below the balance point temperature settings. The low balance point setting prevents heat pump heat- ing below the set point and back up heat will be used. Typically the default is 25°F (-4.0°C), but that setting can be adjusted by your dealer. At 25°F (-4.0°C) or be- low for example, only auxiliary heating (electric or gas) is used.

If the high balance point is set to 50°F (10°C ) for exam- ple, which is also adjustable by your dealer, then aux- iliary heat will not be allowed. Only heat pump heating will be used. Anytime the outdoor temperature is below or above the balance point temperature settings, the ambient lockout notice will appear on the home screen.

Wi-Fi Connection and Troubleshooting

Wireless networks supported by this system are:

  • 802.11b is 2.4Ghz band (max 11 Mbit/s)
  • 802.11g is 2.4Ghz band (max 54 Mbit/s)
  • 802.11n is 2.4Ghz band (max 130 Mbit/s)

This is for connecting the thermostat to a secure home wireless network.

Lennox-iComfort-M3-Smart-Thermostat-User-Manual-FIG-2If having problems with your router connection make sure your router is set up for 802.11 b, g, or n. Some newer router have this connection turned off.

Lennox-iComfort-M3-Smart-Thermostat-User-Manual-FIG-2A router with Bonjour capabilities is required for this function. Check the router functions if the thermostat does not connect. Apple Bonjour® is an implementation of zero-configuration networking (Zeroconf), a group of technologies that includes service discovery, address assignment, and host name resolution.

Lennox-iComfort-M3-Smart-Thermostat-User-Manual-FIG-2Never use a home guest account. Never use an open router connection (non-secure). Always use a secure connection physically located in the home where the thermostat is located.

WIRELESS TERMINOLOGY

  • Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). This indicates the signal strength of the Wi-Fi router being received by the scanning device (i.e., smart phone). So the higher the RSSI number (or less negative in some devices), the stronger the signal.
  • Internet Protocol Address (IP address). This is an address assigned by your home router for each network device (e.g., computer, printer, thermostat).

Lennox-iComfort-M3-Smart-Thermostat-User-Manual-FIG-2Connection to Lennox server from your Internet provider may take up to 4-5 minutes depending on your Wi-Fi speed connection speed and how busy the server may be.Locate the thermostat and router away from other devices that could possibility interfere with wireless communications. Some examples of other devices that could interfere are:

  • Microwave ovens
  • Wireless cameras
  • Portable phones and bases
  • Baby monitors
  • Wireless speakers
  • Bluetooth devices
  •  Garage door openers

To eliminate a possible source of interference, temporally disable any devices and see if Wi-Fi performance has improved.

DETERMINING WIRELESS CONNECTION SIGNAL STRENGTH
The ideal signal strength range for the thermostat is -1 to -69 Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). The signal strength can be viewed from the thermostat interface.

  1.  Press NETWORK SETTINGS; This screen shows a graphical view of options representing OPEN and SECURE wireless networks, along with options for adding a network.
  2.  Select the access point that has already been established and connected.
  3.  When selecting the info icon, a screen will appear which will display an option to forget the network and IP address assigned to the ermostat by your router, sub-net mask, router, DNS and RSSI.
  4.  Scroll down to the last entry on this screen. There the Wi-Fi signal strength will be displayed (RSSI). If the RSSI signal strength is anywhere between -9 to -69, then the signal strength is sufficient. If outside the reference range, then either relocate the router closer to the thermostat, add a repeater, or move the thermostat. Adjusting antenna on router may resolve the issue.
