weather conditions (especially wind) that may cause

panels to be blown around and damaged.

CAUTION

Before attempting to perform any service or maintenance,

turn the electrical power to unit OFF at disconnect switch.

NOTICE !

Roof Damage!

This system contains both refrigerant and oil. Some

rubber roofing material may absorb oil, causing the

rubber to degrade. Failure to follow this noticecould

result in damage to roof surface.

IMPORTANT !

This model is designed for use in check / expansion

valve systems only. An indoor expansion valve ap

proved for use with HFC-410A refrigerant must be or

dered separately and installed prior to operating the

system.

IMPORTANT !

Exhaust vents from dryers, water heaters and furnaces

should be directed away from the outdoor unit. Pro

longed exposure to exhaust gases and the chemicals

contained within them may cause condensation to

form on the steel cabinet and other metal components

of the outdoor unit. This will diminish unit performance

and longevity.

IMPORTANT !

If this unit is being matched with an approved line set

or indoor unit coil that was previously charged with

mineral oil, or if it is being matched with a coil which

was manufactured before January of 1999, the coil

and line set must be flushed prior to installation. Take

care to empty all existing traps. Polyol ester (POE)

oils are used in Lennox units charged with HFC-410A

refrigerant. Residual mineral oil can act as an insula

tor, preventing proper heat transfer. It can also clog

the expansion device and reduce system perfor

mance and capacity.

Failure to properly flush the system per this instruc

tion and the detailed Installation and Service Proce

dures manual will void the warranty.

WARNING

When using a high pressure gas such as

nitrogen to pressurize a refrigeration or air

conditioning system, use a regulator that

can control the pressure down to 1 or 2 psig

(6.9 to 13.8 kPa).

WARNING

Refrigerant can be harmful if it is inhaled. Refrigerant

must be used and recovered responsibly.

Failure to follow this warning may result in personal injury

or death.

WARNING

Fire, Explosion and Personal Safety Haz

ard. Failure to follow this warning could re

sult in damage, personal injury or death.

Never use oxygen to pressurize or purge re

frigeration lines. Oxygen, when exposed to

a spark or open flame, can cause fire and/or

an explosion, that could result in property

damage, personal injury or death.

WARNING

Polyol ester (POE) oils used with HFC-410A

refrigerant absorb moisture very quickly. It is very

important that the refrigerant system be kept closed as

much as possible. DO NOT remove line set caps or

service valve stub caps until you are ready to make

connections.

IMPORTANT !

Some scroll compressors have an internal vacuum

protector that will unload scrolls when suction pres

sure goes below 20 psig. A hissing sound will be

heard when the compressor is running unloaded.

Protector will reset when low pressure in system is

raised above 40 psig. DO NOT REPLACE COMPRES

SOR.

STEP 3 -- LEAK TEST AND EVACUATION

A. With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of HFC-410A refrigerant to the center port of the

manifold gauge set. Open the valve on the HFC-410A cylinder (vapor only).

B. Open the high pressure side of the manifold to allow HFC-410A into the line set and indoor unit. Weigh in

a trace amount of HFC-410A. [A trace amount is a maximum of two ounces (57 g) refrigerant or three

pounds (31 kPa) pressure.] Close the valve on the HFC-410A cylinder and the valve on the high

pressure side of the manifold gauge set. Disconnect the HFC-410A cylinder.

C. Connect a cylinder of nitrogen with a pressure regulating valve to the center port of the manifold gauge

set.

D. Adjust nitrogen pressure to 150 psig (1034 kPa). Open the valve on the high side of the manifold gauge set

in order to pressurize the line set and the indoor unit.

E. After a few minutes, open one of the service valve ports and verify that the refrigerant added to the

system earlier is measurable with a leak detector.

F. After leak testing, disconnect gauges from service ports.

After the line set has been connected to the indoor and outdoor units, check the line set connections and

indoor unit for leaks. Use the following procedure to test for leaks:

A. Connect the high pressure hose of an HFC-410A manifold gauge set to the vapor valve service port.

NOTE — Normally, the high pressure hose is connected to the liquid line port. However, connecting it

to the vapor port better protects the manifold gauge set from high pressure damage.

B. With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of HFC-410A refrigerant to the center port of

the manifold gauge set.

STEP 3 -- LEAK TEST AND EVACUATION (CONTINUED)

A. Open both manifold valves and start the vacuum pump.

B. Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to an absolute pressure of 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury).

NOTE — During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once. A rapid rise in pressure

indicates a relatively large leak. If this occurs, repeat the leak testing procedure.

NOTE — The term absolute pressure means the total actual pressure above absolute zero within a given volume or system. Absolute

pressure in a vacuum is equal to atmospheric pressure minus vacuum pressure.

C. When the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury), perform the following:

Close manifold gauge valves.

Close valve on vacuum pump.

Turn off vacuum pump.

Disconnect manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump.

Attach manifold center port hose to a nitrogen cylinder with pressure

regulator set to 150 psig (1034 kPa) and purge the hose.

Open manifold gauge valves to break the vacuum in the line set and

indoor unit.

Close manifold gauge valves.

D. Shut off the nitrogen cylinder and remove the manifold gauge hose from the cylinder. Open the manifold gauge valves to release the

nitrogen from the line set and indoor unit.

E. Reconnect the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump, turn the pump on, and continue to evacuate the line set and indoor unit until the

absolute pressure does not rise above 500 microns (29.9 inches of mercury) within a 20-minute period after shutting off the vacuum pump

and closing the manifold gauge valves.

F. When the absolute pressure requirement above has been met, disconnect the manifold hose from the vacuum pump and connect it to a

cylinder of HFC-410A positioned to deliver liquid refrigerant. Open the manifold gauge valve 1 to 2 psig in order to release the vacuum in

the line set and indoor unit.

G. Perform the following:

A. Connect low side of manifold gauge set with

1/4 SAE in-line tee to vapor line service valve

B. Connect high side of manifold gauge set to

liquid line service valve

C. Connect available micron gauge connector

on the 1/4 SAE in-line tee.

D. Connect the vacuum pump (with vacuum

gauge) to the center port of the manifold

gauge set. The center port line will be used

later for both the HFC-410A and nitrogen

containers.
