IMPORTANT - The refrigerant
metering device for this system is
located in the outdoor unit. This
makes it necessary to insulate the
refrigerant lines individually to
prevent sweating.
When servicing or repairing HVAC components, ensure
the fasteners are appropriately tightened. “Table 1. Torque
Requirements” on page 9 provides torque values for
fasteners.
IMPORTANT
Only use Allen wrenches of sufcient hardness (50Rc -
Rockwell scale minimum). Fully insert the wrench into
the valve stem recess.
Service valve stems are factory-torqued from 9 ft.-lbs.
(12 N*m) for small valves, to 25 ft.-lbs. (34 N) for large
valves) to prevent refrigerant loss during shipping and
handling. Using an Allen wrench rated at less than 50Rc
risks rounding or breaking off the wrench, or stripping
the valve stem recess.
See the Lennox Service and Application Notes C-08-1
for further details and information.

Unit Placement Considerations
AVOID
Do not install the unit in the following locations:
• Areas exposed to petrochemicals or petrochemical
products
• Areas exposed to salt or other corrosive materials or
caustic gases
• Areas exposed to extreme voltage variations (such as
factories
• Tightly enclosed areas that may impede service of the
unit
• Areas exposed to fossil fuels (such as oil or gas in
kitchens)
• Areas exposed to strong electromagnetic forces
• Areas exposed to acids or alkaline detergents
DO
• Place the unit so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight
• Ensure the structural ceiling can support the weight of
the unit
• Select a location where condensate line will have the
shortest run to a suitable drain per local codes
• Allow sufcient space around unit for proper operation
and maintenance
• Install unit a minimum of 3 feet (1m) away from any
antenna, power cord (line) radio, telephone, security
system, or intercom. Electrical interference and radio
frequencies from any of these sources may affect operation
• Be sure to instruct customers how to properly operate
the unit (especially maintenance of air lter, and operation procedure) by having them carry out operations
themselves while looking at the manual provided with
the controller

Figure 4. Determining Exit Locations
1. Remove the wall mounting plate from the back of the
indoor unit.
2. Determine the best exit location for utility bundle (line
set, condensate line and wiring). See the following
section concerning wall sleeve installation instructions.
3. Position the wall mounting plate on the wall so that,
when installed, the unit will be at least 6 inches (152
mm) from the ceiling and 5 inches (127 mm) from the
wall on either side. The wall mounting plate must be
level side-to-side.
4. Use the wall mounting plate as a template to determine
the exit point for utility bundle. Mark the wall to facilitate
drilling hole for utility bundle.
Installation of Wall Mounting Plate
Install the wall mounting plate (see “Figure 8. Wall
Mounting Plates - Inches (mm)” on page 11) so that it is
correctly positioned horizontally and vertically. The indoor
unit must be installed level on the wall to allow proper
condensate drainage.
1. Use a carpenter’s level or measuring tape to verify the
wall mounting plate is horizontally level.
2. Secure the wall mounting plate to the wall using the
provided screws and screw anchors.
NOTE: It is important to use all screws provided to secure
the wall mounting plate to the wall. Additional holes
may be drilled through the metal wall mounting
9
Page 10
plate to better secure wall plate. Field-provided
anchors/xings may be required depending on wall
construction. Use the appropriate type of anchors
for the application.
3. The wall mounting plate must be installed ush against
the wall so that the indoor unit will be ush after
installation. Any space between the wall and unit will
cause noise and vibration.
4. The wall mounting plate must be installed horizontally
level on the wall.
Installation of Wall Sleeve
The utility bundle may be routed out of the back of the unit
or out either side. If the bundle is to be routed out the back
through an external wall, use a eld-provided wall sleeve
to protect the utility bundle.
NOTE: If the utility bundle will be routed out the side of the
indoor unit and up the wall above a false ceiling,
continue to the next section.
1. Prior to making the hole and installing the wall sleeve
for the utility bundle, check to ensure that there are
no other utilities located in the wall behind the hole
location.
2. Cut a hole in the wall using a suitable hole saw. Hole
should be at a slight downward slant - 3/16” to 3/8”
toward the outdoor side.
3. Measure the thickness of the wall from the inside edge
to the outside edge and cut the eld-provided wall
sleeve at a slight angle 1/4” (6 mm) shorter than the
thickness of the wall.
Installation of Indoor Unit on Wall Mounting Plate
1. A length of eld-provided exible condensate piping
should be connected to the drain prior to securing the
unit to the wall mounting plate.
2. If the factory-provided refrigerant piping connections
and eld-provided exible condensate piping are long
enough to enable nal eld connections after unit is
installed on wall mounting plate, use eld-provided
tape to bundle them together.
3. The utility bundle may be routed out of the back of the
unit or out either side. If the bundle is to be routed
out the back through an external wall, feed the utility
bundle through the wall sleeve. If the utility bundle is
to be routed out of the side of the indoor unit and up
an inside wall, carefully form the utility bundle so that
it makes a gentle 90° turn.
4. Align the back of the indoor unit with the hooks at the
top of the wall mounting plate. Move the unit from side
to side to make sure that it settles securely.
5. The bottom of the unit can be lifted to facilitate
refrigerant piping and condensate drain connections,
if necessary.

Indoor Unit Condensate Piping Connections
e no
IMPORTANT
Make sure that drain piping is properly routed and
insulated to prevent both leaks and condensation.
1. Use a eld-provided hose clamp to secure the drain
line stub on the side of the cabinet to a eld-supplied
1-inch (25 mm) drain line.
NOTE: Take care not to over-tighten the hose clamps this
may damage the drain line stub.
NOTE: Connection between stub and drain line must be
watertight. Apply non hardening plumbing joint
compound if needed to ensure a watertight seal.
2. Conrm proper slope (not less than 1/4 inch per foot
(18 mm per m)) and routing of condensate lines to
ensure moisture is drained away from the indoor unit.
3. Drain should be as short as possible and should
not have any droops or kinks that would restrict
condensate ow and shall be approved resistant pipe.
There must be a 2-inch (51 mm) space between the
end of the condensate drain and the nal termination
point (ground, open drain, etc.) to ensure that the line
will drain freely.
4. After the system installation is complete, the
condensate drain line must be checked for leaks and
proper drainage. If a eld-provided condensate pump
has been installed, it must be checked to ensure proper
operation. This check is part of the start-up process
which must be done by the installing contractor.
IMPORTANT
Drain should have a slope of at least ¼ inch per foot and
should be approved corrosion-resistant pipe. You must
conrm operation of every drain and pump in the system
as part of the commissioning procedure.
CORRECT
Make sure there ar
kinks or dent in drain
hose to ensure proper
drainage.

Outdoor Unit Installation
Placement Considerations
Consider the following when positioning the unit:
• In coastal areas or other places with salty atmosphere
of sulfate gas, corrosion may shorten the life of the
unit. In coastal areas, the coil should be cleaned with
potable water several times per year to avoid corrosive
buildup (salt)
• Some localities are adopting sound ordinances based
on the unit’s sound level registered from the adjacent
property, not from the property where the unit is installed. 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 transmission
• Install unit level
Building Structure

Figure 10. Install Unit Level
• Choose a place solid enough to bear the weight and
vibration of the unit, where the operation noise will not
be amplied
• Choose a location where the hot air discharged from
the unit or the operation noise will not be a nuisance
to neighbors
• Avoid installing the outdoor unit near a bedroom or
other places where noise may cause a problem
• There must be sufcient space to carry the unit into
and out of the site
• There must be unobstructed air ow around the air inlet and the air outlet
• The unit must not be installed in areas where a ammable gas leak may occur
• Install the outdoor unit a minimum of 3 feet (1m) away
from any antenna, power cord (line), radio, telephone,
security system, or intercom. Electrical interference
and radio frequencies from any of these sources may
affect operation
• Since water drains from the outdoor unit during various stages of operation, do not place anything which
may be damaged by moisture under the unit
CAUTION
In order to avoid injury, take proper precaution when
lifting heavy objects.

direct sunlight with temperatures over 100°F (38°C) a
canopy is recommended as illustrated in “Figure 11.
Outdoor Unit on Pedestal and Protective Canopy” or
“Figure 16. Dog House-Style Shelter” on page 14
IMPORTANT
The construction of a canopy or shade is necessary
because of an ambient limit control set to 122°F (50°C)
to protect the electronics. If the outdoor unit is placed in
direct sunlight it is possible that the limit may activate
and shut down the unit.
• Place unit away from overhanging roof lines which
would allow water or ice to drop on, or in front of, coil
or into unit. Construct a canopy as illustrated in “Figure
11. Outdoor Unit on Pedestal and Protective Canopy”
• The unit base should be elevated above the depth of
average snows as illustrated in “Figure 12. Outdoor
Unit on Brackets above Snow Line”
• In heavy snow areas, do not place the unit where drifting will occur as illustrated in “Figure 13. Outdoor Unit

Normally wind bafes are not required for a outdoor unit.
However, in order to maximize reliability and performance,
the following best practices should be followed.
If unit coil cannot be installed away from prevailing winter
winds, some method of protecting the coil is recommended.
However, minimum clearances as reference in “Figure 2.
Outdoor Unit Clearances - Inches (mm)” on page 8
must be observed at all times.
Common application examples are:
• When prevailing winds are from the air inlet side, then
position the wind barrier a minimum of 12 inches (305
mm) from the unit as illustrated in “Figure 15. Wind
Barrier”
• When prevailing wind is into the discharge side, then
position the wind barrier a minimum 79 inches (2007
mm) from the front of the unit as illustrated in Figure

Outdoor Unit Condensate Piping
Condensate formed during the heating and defrost
processes must be drained from heat pump units. Drain
holes are provided in the base of the units to ensure proper
drainage. Heat pumps must be raised when installed on a
concrete pad or the ground to allow drainage to occur. If
the heat pump unit is installed on wall mounting bracket,
insert the provided drain connector into one of the 1
inch (25 mm) drain holes and attached a eld-provided
insulated drain hose to the connector. Use eld-provided
rubber plugs to cover any unused drain holes as illustrated
in “Figure 18. Condensate Drain”.

Securing the Outdoor Unit
Slab or Roof Mounting
Install the unit a minimum of 4 inches (102 mm) above the
roof or ground surface to avoid ice build-up around the
unit. Place the unit above a load bearing wall or area of
the roof that can adequately support the unit. Consult local
codes for rooftop applications.
CAUTION
Roof Damage!
This system contains both refrigerant and oil. Some
rubber roong material may absorb oil. This will cause
the rubber to swell when it comes into contact with oil.
The rubber will then bubble and could cause leaks.
Protect the roof surface to avoid exposure to refrigerant
and oil during service and installation. Failure to follow
this notice could result in damage to roof surface.

Refrigerant Piping Connections
Field piping consists of two copper lines connecting the
outdoor unit to the indoor unit. “Table 2. Refrigerant Piping
and Indoor Unit Connection Sizes” lists the connection
sizes. The connections are made using the provided brass
are nuts at the end of the refrigerant piping connections.
Both lines must be individually insulated.
1. The seal on the unit refrigerant piping connections
should remain in place until the last possible moment.
This will prevent dust or water from getting into the
refrigerant piping before it is connected.
2. CAREFULLY adjust refrigerant piping connections to
suit the application.
3. Slowly loosen one of the are nuts to release the
factory nitrogen charge from the indoor units only.
4. Remove the are nuts from the connections on the
unit and discard the seal from each of the piping
connections.
5. Slide the are nuts onto the ends of the eld-provided
refrigerant piping before using a suitable aring tool to
are the end of the copper pipe.
If the outdoor unit is installed on eld-provided wall
mounting brackets, use lag bolts or equivalent to secure
the outdoor unit to the bracket. Minimum rear clearance
can be reduced to 6 inches (152 mm) when mounted
on brackets and with no obstructions on the other three
sides. Allow for condensate disposal when placing units
above one another.
IMPORTANT
The compressor in this unit contains PVE
oil (Polyvinylether). PVE oil is formulated for
hydrouorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants, such as HFC-
410A, which this system contains. While it may have
some miscibility properties with mineral-based oil and
POE oil (Polyolester), it is not recommended to mix PVE
oil with any other type of refrigerant oil.
15
Page 16
7. Align the threaded connections with the
ared refrigerant lines. Tighten the are nuts
lightly at rst to obtain a smooth match as
illustrated in “Figure 22. Making Connections
(Male to Female Connection)”.
8. Once snug, continue another half-turn on each nut
which should create a leak-free joint. A torque wrench
may be used to tighten are nuts using “Table 3. Flare
Nut Torque Recommendations”. Do not over-tighten
a ared joint. Flared connections should always
be accessible and must be insulated to prevent
condensation.
9. After refrigerant piping has been installed and checked
for leaks, apply insulation over all ared connections.

Leak Test and Evacuation
Air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system will
have undesirable effects as indicated below:
• Pressure in the system rises
• Operating current rises
• Cooling or heating efciency drops
• Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze
• Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration system
The line set between the indoor and outdoor units
must be leak tested and evacuated to remove any noncondensables and moisture from the system.
Leak Test
Use the following procedure to test for system leaks:
1. Connect the manifold gauge set and dry nitrogen gas
cylinder to the suction and gas service ports.
2. Open valve on nitrogen cylinder.
3. Pressurize the system per the pressure test
specications in “Table 5. Pressure Test Specications”.
4. Check that the system pressure remains stable. If
there is any movement check system for leaks.
5. After the system is found to be free of leaks:
• Close valve on nitrogen cylinder
• Relieve the nitrogen pressure by: loosening the
charge hose connector at the nitrogen cylinder
• When the system pressure is reduced to normal,
disconnect the hose from the cylinder

24 hours. Lower system pressure
test, after conrmation No. 4 was
successfully completed.
IMPORTANT
Use only oxygen-free nitrogen (OFN).
Triple Evacuation Procedure
A Micron or Torr gauge must be used for this procedure.
1. Discharge the oxygen-free nitrogen and evacuate the
system to a reading of 8000 Microns (8 Torr) using all
service valves.
2. Break the vacuum by allowing nitrogen into the port
connections (liquid and gas line pipes) until a positive
pressure is achieved.
3. Evacuate the system to a reading of 5000 Microns (5
Torr).
4. Break the vacuum by allowing nitrogen into the port
connections (liquid and gas line pipes) until a positive
pressure is achieved
5. Evacuate the system to a minimum reading of 500
Microns (0.5 Torr).
6. For a moisture-free system, ensure the vacuum is held
without movement for a minimum of 4 hours.
7. If vacuum fails to hold, carry out steps 2 through 6 until
vacuum holds.

Unit Start-Up
Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT
Units should be energized 24 hours before unit start-up
to prevent compressor damage as a result of slugging.
1. Inspect all factory- and eld-installed wiring for loose
connections.
2. Verify that the manifold gauge set is connected.
3. Add additional refrigerant charge if required before
opening valves and while system is still under a
vacuum.
4. Open the liquid and suction line service valves to
release the refrigerant charge contained in outdoor
unit into the system.
5. Replace the stem caps and tighten to the value listed
in “Table 1. Torque Requirements” on page 9.
6. Check voltage supply at the outdoor unit terminal strip.
The voltage must be within the range listed on the
unit’s nameplate. If not, do not start the equipment
until you have consulted with the power company and
the voltage condition has been corrected.
7. Refer to the included user guide to operate the system
using the provided remote control.
8. Visually check for binding of both indoor and outdoor
fans.

Test Run
Adding Refrigerant for Longer Line Set
The outdoor unit is factory-charged with refrigerant.
Calculate the additional refrigerant required according to
the diameter and the length of the liquid pipe between the
outdoor unit and indoor unit connections.
Be sure to add the proper amount of additional refrigerant.
Failure to do so may result in reduced performance.

Pre-Checks
Only perform test run after you have completed the
following steps:
• Electrical Safety Checks – Conrm that the unit’s
electrical system is safe and operating properly
• Refrigerant Leak Checks – Check all are nut connec-
tions and conrm that the system is not leaking
• Conrm that suction and liquid valves are fully open.
Procedure
You should perform the Test Run for at least 30 minutes.
1. Connect power to the unit.
2. Press the ON/OFF button on the remote controller to
turn it on.
3. Press the mode button to scroll through the following
functions, one at a time:
• COOL - Select lowest possible temperature
• HEAT - Select highest possible temperature
4. Let each function run for 5 minutes, and perform the
following checks:
26

Double-Check Pipe Connections
During operation, the pressure of the refrigerant circuit
will increase. This may reveal leaks that were not present
during your initial leak check. Take time during the Test
Run to double-check that all refrigerant pipe connection
points do not have leaks.
1. Using remote control, return unit to the normal
operating temperature
2. Using insulation tape, wrap the indoor refrigerant pipe
connections that you left uncovered during the indoor
unit installation process
If Ambient Temperature is below 63°F (17°C)
You cannot use the remote controller to turn on the
COOL function when the ambient temperature is below
63°F (17°C). In this instance, you can use the MANUAL
CONTROL button to test the COOL function.
1. Lift the front panel of the indoor unit, and raise it until
it clicks in place
2. The MANUAL CONTROL button is located on the
right-hand side of the unit. Press it 2 times to select
the COOL function
3. Perform Test Run as normal

Dry Mode Operation (Dehumidication)
Procedure
1. Using the provided wireless remote control, press the
MODE button and select DRY mode.
2. Press the UP/ DOWN button to select the desired
temperature. The temperature setting range is from
62°F (17°C) to 86°F (30°C) in one degree increments.
NOTE: The blower is preset at a low speed and cannot be
changed therefore it will get cold and most likely
will over shoot the temperature setting by 6-10°F
(3-5°C) depending on the room size or other
various factors. Also the Follow Me mode does
not operate in this mode.
NOTE: In addition, the indoor units do not have a humidistat
installed therefore they are unable to determine
humidity levels. This product is not recommend as
a main source for dehumidication.
Sequence of Operation
When in dry mode operation the unit is actually in cooling
mode with a low speed blower operation. Set remote temp
to a lower room temp to begin the dry mode operation.
The compressor will stop when the room temperature is
4°F (2°C) lower than the temperature setting.
However there is a temperature compensation for cooling
mode that is two degrees Celsius. So the unit will stop
when the temperature is 8°F (4°C) lower than the room
temperature settings.
