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 installa

tion. Take care to empty all existing traps. Polyol es

ter (POE) oils are used in Lennox units charged with

HFC-410A refrigerant. Residual mineral oil can act

as an insulator, preventing proper heat transfer. It

can also clog the expansion device and reduce sys

tem performance 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

refrigeration 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 COM

PRESSOR.

OUTDOOR UNIT

HIGHLOW

CONNECT GAUGE SET

AConnect 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.

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

the manifold gauge set.

NOTE — Later in the procedure, the HFC-410A container will be replaced by the nitrogen container.

TEST FOR LEAKS

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:

AWith 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).

BOpen 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) refriger

ant 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.

CConnect a cylinder of nitrogen with a pressure regulating valve to the center port of the manifold

gauge set.

DAdjust 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.

EAfter 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.

FAfter leak testing, disconnect gauges from service ports.

STEP 4 -- LEAK TEST AND EVACUATION (Continued)

AOpen both manifold valves and start the vacuum pump.

BEvacuate 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.

CWhen the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury),

perform the following:

SClose manifold gauge valves.

SClose valve on vacuum pump.

STurn off vacuum pump.

SDisconnect manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump.

SAttach manifold center port hose to a nitrogen cylinder with pressure

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

SOpen manifold gauge valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor

unit.

SClose manifold gauge valves.

DShut 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.

EReconnect 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.

FWhen 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.

GPerform the following:

SClose manifold gauge valves.

SShut off HFC-410A cylinder.

SReinstall service valve cores by removing manifold hose from service valve. Quickly install cores with core

tool while maintaining a positive system pressure.

SReplace stem caps and finger tighten them, then tighten an additional one-sixth (1/6) of a turn as illustrated.
