What Is the Harmony II Zone Control System? Lennox Harmony II Zone Control System manages the distribution of conditioned air to as many as four

specific areas or zones in a home or small commercial building. The Harmony II control Is an advanced

control system that allows a home to be zoned for heating and cooling without the extra expense of pur-

chasing two or more HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems.

This control allows the owner to heat or cool occupied areas without conditioning unused areas, re-

sulting in lower utility bills. This control orchestrates the system components to provide a balanced

and comfortable environment.

The system consists of the control panel and the control center. The Harmony II control panel is your

link to a comfortable enviroment. The control panel is usually located near the main or master ther-

mostat. The control center is the larger control box and is the brains" of the Harmony II system. It

organizes the operations of the thermostats, dampers, and HVAC equipment to result in total com-

fort. The Harmony II system operates with any of the following HVAC system combinations: Option

1 Pulse21TM V" series gas furnace and either a single or two speed condensing unit; Option 2

CB21 series blower coil unit and either a Lennox single or two speed heat pump; or Option 3

Pulse21 V" series gas furnace, a Lennox heat pump, and the FM21 control. Harmony II zone con-

trol system uses offtheshelf thermostats and dampers with any of the above systems to distribute

conditioned air to zones.

How Are Zones Determined? Your Lennox dealer has sectioned the rooms of your home or building into zones using the below

considerations.

Structural/Architectural Considerations In multilevel houses using regular HVAC systems, heated air rises to the upper floor(s) causing those

rooms become too hot. Zoning will remedy this situation by splitting the conditioned space into two

specific zones (first and second floors). The second floor temperature is now controlled by its own ther-

mostat, not that of the first floor.

Climate Considerations Exposure from the sun and weather can produce cold and hot spots in homes that are conditioned

with the use of one thermostat. Zoning lessens this by grouping rooms with the same exposure into

one zone. Therefore, a room with a northern exposure and a room with a southern exposure should

not be zoned together. In the winter, the northern room may be too cool while the southern room may

be too hot. In order to keep a balance of conditioned air, the zone must contain rooms with the same

weather exposure.

Occupancy Considerations A single structure contains different types of living spaces. Without zoning, it is difficult to condition all

areas so that everyone will be comfortable. Zoning a home or office allows the owner to control the

zones which need to be conditioned. Rooms that are used or occupied at the same time are zoned to-

gether. Bedrooms which are generally used at night, should not zoned with a living room that is used only

during the day or evening.

Using the Harmony II Control Panel The Harmony II control panel is where the control center gets its information on how to operate. It

works with the thermostats to provide a desired comfort level for each zone. The Harmony II control

panel uses LEDs (light emitting diodes) to display the current operating mode.

The Harmony II system operates in either of two modes: Central mode or Zone mode. In Central

mode, all zones receive conditioned air at the same time, just like a traditional heating and air condi-

tioning system. The master thermostat located in zone 1 controls any heating or cooling need for the

entire building. When the Harmony II system is placed in Zone mode, specific zones are condi-

tioned only when the demand comes from that zone. Notice that each zone, not each room, has its

own thermostat. These thermostats only work when the control panel is in Zone Mode. The System

Off button will turn off the Harmony II control.

The Heat, Cool, and Auto buttons on the control panel tell the control center what type of air to pro-

vide and are available in Central and Zone modes. Select one operation (Heat, Cool or Auto) at a

time. The Heat selection, tells the control center that it should provide heat to the zones when it is

needed. The Cool selection, in turn, tells the control center to provide cool air to the zones when

there is a need. The Auto selection is the most flexible choice since it allows either heating or cooling

to occur, depending on the need. This selection is particularly nice in times of seasonal changes. For

example, in the spring, the temperature is cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon. By placing

the control panel and thermostats in Auto, heating will come on in the morning and cooling in the

afternoon, if needed.

The Fan Auto and Fan On buttons on the control panel tell the control center how the blower should

operate. Select one operation (Fan Auto or Fan On) at a time. Fan Auto allows the blower to cycle on

and off with the heating or cooling needs. The Fan On selection allows the blower to run continuous-

ly. To stop the blower, press the Fan Auto button.

Service Light

A red LED, visible only when an error occurs, indicates an error condition has been logged in the

control center and either the inside unit or zone control system requires service. Alert your Lennox

service technician that the Harmony II control panel service light is on. Also inform the technician if

the light is lit steadily or if it flashes off and on. DO NOT try to diagnose error codes or repair control

panel. The control center must be handled by qualified service technicians only. Tampering with con-

trol center may result in electrical shock and damage to the control center.

NOTE The service light located in the master thermostat (heat pumps only) provides a separate

function indicating the outdoor unit requires service. The service light in zone 2, zone 3 and zone 4

thermostats is not functional. Call your Lennox service technician if the service light on the zone 1

thermostat is lit.

4 Set the zone 1 master thermostat at the same position (HEAT or COOL or AUTO) as the control panel. If your thermostat system does not have an autochangeover selection, set the control panel in AUTO and the zone 1 thermostat in either HEAT or COOL. (Do not adjust other zone thermostats since they are nonfunctional in Central mode.)

5 Set thermostat to desired room temperature.

Zone Mode: Heating and cooling to specific zones.

1 Press Zone button on control panel.

2 Choose either Heat or Cool or Auto button on control panel.

3 Choose either Fan Auto or Fan On button on control panel. The Fan switch on all thermostat will be inoperable. The fan is controlled at the control panel.

4 Set each zone thermostat at the same position (HEAT or COOL or AUTO) as the control panel. If your thermostats do not have an autochangeover selection, set the control panel in AUTO and the zone thermostats in either HEAT or COOL.

Harmony II Control Panel

Harmony II Red service light flashes from be- hind the control panel cover when

system requires service. Error codes will be stored in control

center for readout by technician only.

System Off button turns off Harmony II control.

Press Central for all zones to be conditioned at the

same time.

Press Zone for specific zones to receive conditioned air upon

each zones need. Press Cool to allow cooling only.

For Central mode, Zone 1 thermo- stat should also be set at Cool. For Zone mode, all thermostats should

also be set at Cool.

Press Auto to allow either cooling or heating, depending on the need. For

Central mode, Zone 1 thermostat should also be set at Auto. For Zone mode, all thermostats should also be set at Auto. If your thermostats are not equipped with an Auto setting,

place control panel in Auto and ther- mostats in either Heat or Cool.

Press Fan Auto to allow blower to run only while system is supplying conditioned air. The blower will cycle on and off

according to the demand for heating or cooling. By cycling on and off, air from different zones is not mixed and better effi-

ciencies are achieved.

Press Fan On to allow blower to run continuously to circulate air. The fan will keep running in this mode until the Fan Auto button is

pressed. Fan On tends to mix the air from different zones and effi- ciency may suffer if Fan On option is used on a regular basis.

Press Heat to allow heating only. For Central mode, Zone 1 thermo- stat should also be set at Heat. For Zone mode, all thermostats should

also be set at Heat.
