1, Place a sound-absorbing material, such as Isomode,
under the unit if it will be installed in a location or posi-
tion that will transmit sound or vibration to the to the
conditioned space.
2, Mount unit high enough above ground or roof to allow
adequate drainage of defrost water and prevent ice
build-up,
3, In heavy snow areas, do not locate unit where drifting
will occur. The unit base should be elevated above the
depth of average snows,
NOTE -Elevation of the unit may be accomplished by
constructing a frame using suitable materials. If a sup-
port frame is constructed, it must not block drain holes
in unit base.
4, When installed in areas where low ambient tempera-
tures exist, locate unit so winter prevailing winds do
not blow directly into outdoor coil.
5, Locate unit away from overhanging roof lines which
would allow water or ice to drop on, or in front of, coil
or into unit,
Slab Mounting
When installing unit at grade level, top of slab should be
high enough above the grade so that water from higher
ground will not collect around unit, See figure 2. Slab
should have a slope tolerance away from the building of 2
degrees or 2 inches per 5 feet (51 mm per 1,5 m), This will
prevent ice build-up under unit during a defrost cycle. Re-
fer to roof mounting section for barrier construction if unit
must face prevailing winter winds,

more than 100' (30m) 16 rating 35°C minimum
3. Install room thermostat (ordered separately) on an inside
wall approximately in the center of the conditioned area
and 5 feet (1.5 m) from the floor. It should not be
installed on an outside wall or where it can be effected
by sunlight, drafts or vibrations.
4. Install low voltage wiring from outdoor to indoor unit
and from thermostat to indoor unit. See figure 7.
NOTE - 24V, Class II circuit connections are made in
the low voltage junction box.
Three-Phase Scroll Voltage Phasing
Three-phase scroll compressors must be phased sequential-
ly to ensure correct compressor rotation and operation. In-
correct line voltage phasing may cause compressor damage
and abnormal unit operation. Power wires are color-coded as
follows: Line 1 - red, line 2 - yellow, line 3 - blue.
To test for proper rotation and operation:
1. Install refrigeration gauges on system. Cycle compres-
sor "On" and observe that suction pressure decreases
and discharge pressure increases.
2. If pressures do not follow the above conditions, discon-
nect all power to unit. Reverse any two field-installed
main power wires to the line side of the compressor con-
tactor. Make sure connections are tight. Repeat pres-
sure test with system.

If the SPA unit is being installed with a new indoor coil and
line set, the refrigerant connections should be made as
outlined in this section. If an existing line set and/or indoor
coil is going to be used to complete the SPA system, refer
to the following section which includes flushing proce-
dures,
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and vapor lines
from the outdoor unit (sweat connections) to the indoor coil
(flare or sweat connections). Use Lennox L15 (sweat, non-
flare) series line sets as shown in table 1 or use field-fabri-
cated refrigerant lines. Valve sizes are also listed in table 1.

If an existing indoor coil which was equipped with an RFCI
metering device is being replaced, the liquid line must also
be replaced prior to the installation of the SPA unit,
NOTE -Units are designed for line sets of up to 50 feet
(15 m).
Installing Refrigerant Line
During the installation of any heat pump system, it is impor-
tant to properly isolate the refrigerant lines to prevent un-
necessary vibration. Line set contact with the structure
(wall, ceiling or floor) causes some objectionable noise
when vibration is translated into sound, As a result, more
energy or vibration can be expected, Closer attention to
line set isolation must be observed,
Following are some points to consider when placing and
installing a high-efficiency outdoor unit:
1. Placement - Be aware some localities are adopting
sound ordinances based on how noisy the unit is from
the adjacent property not at the original installation.
Install the unit as far as possible from the property line.
When possible, do not install the unit directly outside
a window. Glass has a very high level of sound trans-
mission,
2. Line Set Isolation - The following illustrations demon-
strate procedures which ensure proper refrigerant line
set isolation. Figure 8 shows how to place the outdoor
unit and line set. Figure 9 shows how to install line sets
on horizontal runs. Figure 10 shows how to make a
transition from horizontal to vertical. Figure 11 shows
how to install line sets on vertical runs.

Isolation Grommets
Locate the provided isolation grommets. Use a knife to slit
the webbing on each grommet. Slide larger grommet onto
vapor line and smaller grommet onto liquid line. Insert
grommets into mullion to isolate refrigerant lines from
sheet metal edges,
WARNING I
Brazing Connection Procedure
1, Cut the end of the refrigerant line squarely; its internal
shape must remain round, Debur the inside and out-
side diameter and be sure line isfree of nicks or dents,
2, Before making line set connections, use dry nitrogen
to purge the refrigerant piping. This helps prevent ox-
idation and introduction of moisture into the system,
3, Use silver alloy brazing rods (5 or 6 percent minimum
silver alloy for copper-to-copper brazing or 45 percent
silver alloy for copper-to-brass or copper-to-steel
brazing). Wrap a wet cloth around the valve body and
the copper tube stub. Remove light maroon washers
from service valves and shield light maroon stickers in
order to protect them during brazing. Braze the line set
to the service valve,
4. Quench the joint with water or a wet cloth to prevent
heat damage to the valve core and opening port,
IMPORTANT
SPA units are used in check expansion valve systems only.
See the Lennox Engineering Handbook for approved TXV
match-ups and application information,
Check expansion valves equipped with Chatleff fittings are
available from Lennox. Refer to the Engineering Hand-
book for applicable expansion valves for use with specific
match-ups,
If installing a check expansion valve with an indoor coil that
includes a fixed orifice, remove the orifice before installing
the check expansion valve.

RECOVERY
MACHINE
Figure 13
CAUTION
Required Equipment
You will need the following equipment in order to flush the
existing line set and indoor coil: two clean R-22 recovery
bottles, an oilless recovery machine with a pump down fea-
ture, and two sets of gauges (one for use with R-22 and
one for use with R-410A).
Flushing Procedure
1, Remove existing R-22 refrigerant using the appropri-
ate procedure below.
ff the existing outdoor unit is not equipped with
shut-off valves, or if the unit is not operational
AND you plan to use the existing R-22 refrigerant
to flush the system -- Disconnect all power to the ex-
isting outdoor unit. Connect the existing unit, a clean
recovery cylinder and the recovery machine according
to the instructions provided with the recovery machine.
Remove all R-22 refrigerant from the existing system.
Refer to gauges after shutdown to confirm that the en-
tire system is completely void of refrigerant. Discon-
nect the liquid and vapor lines from the existing out-
door unit,
If the existing outdoor unit is equipped with
manual shut-off valves AND you plan to use NEW
R-22 refrigerant to flush the system -- Start the ex-
isting R-22 system in the cooling mode and close the
liquid line valve. Pump all of the existing R-22 refriger-
ant back into the outdoor unit, (It may be necessary to
bypass the low pressure switches to ensure complete
,
refrigerant evacuation,) When the low side system
pressures reach 0 psig, close the vapor line valve. Dis-
connect all power to the existing outdoor unit, Refer to
gauges after shutdown to confirm that the valves are
not allowing refrigerant to flow back into the low side of
the system. Disconnect the liquid and vapor lines from
the existing outdoor unit,
Remove the existing outdoor unit, Set the new R-410A
unit and follow the brazing connection procedure
which begins on the previous page to make line set
connections, DO NOT install metering device at this
time.
Make low voltage and line voltage connections to the
new outdoor unit. DO NOT turn on power to the unit
or open the outdoor unit service valves at this
time.
AIMPORTANT
3. Remove the existing refrigerant flow control orifice or
thermal expansion/check valve before continuing with
flushing procedures. The existing devices are not ap-
proved for use with R-410A refrigerant and may pre-
vent proper flushing, Use a field-provided fitting to re-
connect the lines.
4. Remove the pressure tap valve cores from the SPA
unit's service valves, Connect an R-22 cylinder with
clean refrigerant to the vapor service valve. Connect
the R-22 gauge set to the liquid line valve and connect
a recovery machine with an empty recovery tank to the
gauge set,
Page 9
SPA SERIES
5, Set the recovery machine for liquid recovery and start
the recovery machine. Open the gauge set valves to
allow the recovery machine to pull a vacuum on the ex-
isting system line set and indoor coil,
6. Invert the cylinder of clean R-22 and open its valve to
allow liquid refrigerant to flow into the system through
the vapor line valve. Allow the refrigerant to pass from
the cylinder and through the line set and the indoor coil
before it enters the recovery machine,
7, After all of the liquid refrigerant has been recovered,
switch the recovery machine to vapor recovery so that
all of the R-22 vapor is recovered,
NOTE -A single system flush should remove all of the
mineral oil from the existing refrigerant lines and in-
door coil, A second flushing may be done (using clean
refrigerant) if insufficient amounts of mineral oil were
removed during the first flush, Each time the system
is flushed, you must allow the recovery machine
to pull a vacuum on the system at the end of the
procedure.
8. Close the valve on the inverted R-22 drum and the
