4, Connect a cylinder of dry nitrogen with a pressure
regulating valve to the center port of the manifold
gauge set,
5, Adjust dry 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,
6, 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,
7, After leak testing disconnect gauges from service
ports,
Evacuating the system of non-condensables is critical for
proper operation of the unit. Non-condensables are
defined as any gas that will not condense under
temperatures and pressures present during operation of
an air conditioning system. Non-condensables and water
suction combine with refrigerant to produce substances
that corrode copper piping and compressor parts,
Xk WARNING
6, When the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns
(29.01 inches of mercury), close the manifold gauge
valves, turn off the vacuum pump and disconnect the
manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump.
Attach the manifold center port hose to a dry nitrogen
cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig (1034
kPa) and purge the hose. Open the manifold gauge
valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor
unit. Close the manifold gauge valves,
7, Shut off the dry nitrogen cylinder and remove the
manifold gauge hose from the cylinder. Open the
manifold gauge valves to release the dry nitrogen from
the line set and indoor unit,
8. 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.
9, When the absolute pressure requirement above has
been met, disconnect the manifold hose from the
vacuum pump and connect it to an upright cylinder d
HFC-410A refrigerant, Open the manifold gauge valve
1 to 2 psig in order to release the vacuum in the line set
and indoor unit.
10, Close manifold gauge valves and shut off the
HFC-410A cylinder and remove the manifold gauge
set,
A IMPORTANT
1, Connect manifold gauge set to the service valve ports
as follows:
• low pressure gauge to suction line service valve
• high pressure gauge to liquid line service valve
2, Connect micron gauge,
3. Connect the vacuum pump (with vacuum gauge) to
the center port of the manifold gauge set,
4, Open both manifold valves and start the vacuum
pump.
5. 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 to
determine if there is a rapid rise in sure indicates a
relatively large leak, If this occurs, repeat the leak testing
procedure.
NOTE -The term absolute pressure means the total
actual pressure within a given volume or system, above
the absolute zero of pressure. Absolute pressure in a
vacuum is equal to atmospheric pressure minus vacuum
pressure,

If the system is void of refrigerant, clean the system using
the procedure described below,
1. Use nitrogen to pressurize the system and check for
leaks. Repair all leaks.
2, Evacuate the system to remove as much of the
moisture as possible.
3, Use nitrogen to break the vacuum and install a new
filter drier in the system.
4. Evacuate the system again. Then, weigh the
appropriate amount of HFC-410A refrigerant as listed
on unit nameplate into the system.
5, Monitor the system to determine the amount of
moisture remaining in the oil. It may be necessary to
replace the filter drier several times to achieve the
required dryness level. If system dryness is not
verified, the compressor will fail in the future.
In the U,S.A., wiring must conform with current local codes
and the current National Electric Code (NEC). In Canada,
wiring must conform with current local codes and the current
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC),
Refer to the furnace or blower coil installation instructions
for additional wiring application diagrams and refer to unit
nameplate for minimum circuit ampacity and maximum
overcurrent protection size,
1, Install line voltage power supply to unit from a properly
sized unit disconnect switch,
2, Ground the unit at the unit disconnect switch or to
earth ground,
