I−Lennox System Operation Monitor (A132)
The Lennox system operation monitor (LSOM) is a 24 volt
powered module, (see diagnostic module A132 on wiring
diagram and figure 14) wired directly to the indoor unit. The
LSOM is located in the control box and is used to trouble
shoot problems in the system. The module has three LED’s
for troubleshooting: GREEN indicates power status, YEL-
LOW indicates an abnormal condition and RED indicates
thermostat demand, but compressor not operating. See
table 4 for troubleshooting codes.
The diagnostic indicator detects the most common fault
conditions in the heat pump system. When an abnormal
condition is detected, the module communicates the spe-
cific condition through its ALERT and TRIP lights. The
module is capable of detecting both mechanical and elec-
trical system problems. See figure 14 for the system opera-
tion monitor.

IMPORTANT − The LSOM is not a safety component
and cannot shutdown or control the XP19. The LSOM
is a monitoring device only.
LED Functions
Alert LED (green) − Indicates voltage within the range of
19−28VAC is present at the system monitor connections.
Alert LED (yellow) − communicates an abnormal system
condition through a unique Flash Code the alert LED
flashes a number of times consecutively; then pauses;
then repeats the process. This consecutive flashing corre-
lates to a particular abnormal condition.
Trip LED (red) − indicates there is a demand signal from the
thermostat but no current to the compressor is detected by
the module.
Flash code number − corresponds to a number of LED
flashes, followed by a pause, and then repeated.
Trip & Alert LEDs flashing simultaneously − indicates that
the control circuit voltage is too low for operation. Reset
ALERT flash code by removing 24VAC power from moni-
tor. Last ALERT flash code will display for 1 minute after
monitor is powered on.
Thermostat Second-Stage Cooling
The Lennox system operation monitor (LSOM) requires a
two-stage room thermostat to operate properly.
Y2 room thermostat connectionWhile the compressor
is not running, LSOM will not power the solenoid, re-
gardless of the state of Y2. If alert codes 1 or 9 (see
table 4) appear while the compressor is running,
LSOM will turn off the solenoid to prevent solenoid
damage from overheating conditions.
L terminal connectionThe L connection is used to com-
municate alert codes to the room thermostat. On se-
lected Lennox SignatureStatthermostats, a blinking
check" LED will display on the room thermostat and on
select White-Rodgers room thermostats, an icon on
the display will flash. Either will flash at the same rate
as the LSOM yellow alert LED.
NOTE − ROOM THERMOSTAT WITH SERVICE OR
CHECK LIGHT FEATURE − The room thermostat may
blink the Check" or Service" LED or it may come on
solid. Confirm fault by observing and interpreting the
code from the LSOM yellow alert LED at the unit.
Y2 DC Solenoid Connector (DC SOL)The 24VDC so-
lenoid, which is internal to the compressor, will not op-
erate properly if 24VAC is applied to the compressor
solenoid terminals. A voltmeter attached to the
DCSOL output will measure 4−18 VDC when the sole-
noid is be energized.
Installation verification-LSOMTo verify correct LSOM
installation, two functional tests can be performed. Dis-
connect power from the compressor and force a ther-
mostat call for cooling. The red trip LED should turn on
indicating a compressor trip as long as 24VAC is mea-
sured at the Y terminal. If the red LED does not function
as described, refer to table 4 to verify the wiring. Dis-
connect power from the compressor and 24VAC power
from LSOM. Remove the wire from the Y terminal of
LSOM and reapply power to the compressor, allowing
the compressor to run. The yellow alert LED will begin
flashing a code 8 indicating a welded contactor. Dis-
connect power from the compressor and 24VAC power
from the LSOM. While the LSOM is off, reattach the
wire to the Y terminal. Reapply power to the compres-
sor and 24VAC power to the LSOM; the yellow alert
LED will flash the previous code 8 for one minute and
then turn off. If the yellow LED does not function as de-
scribed, refer to table 4 to verify the wiring.
Resetting alert codesAlert codes can be reset manual-
ly or automatically:
Manual reset: Cycle the 24VAC power to LSOM off and on.
Automatic reset: After an alert is detected, the LSOM con-
tinues to monitor the compressor and system. When/if
conditions return to normal, the alert code is turned off
automatically.
