USING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
When checking the system charge, only use a manifold
gauge set that features low loss anti−blow back fittings.
Page 3
TSA*S4 SERIES
Page 4
Manifold gauge set used with HFC−410A refrigerant
systems must be capable of handling the higher system
operating pressures. The gauges should be rated for use
with pressures of 0 − 800 psig on the high side and a low
side of 30" vacuum to 250 psig with dampened speed to
500 psi. Gauge hoses must be rated for use at up to 800
psig of pressure with a 4000 psig burst rating.
OPERATING SERVICE VALVES
The liquid and vapor line service valves are used for
removing refrigerant, flushing, leak testing, evacuating,
checking charge and charging.
Each valve is equipped with a service port which has a
factory−installed valve stem. Figure 2 provides information
on how to access and operating both angle and ball service
valves.
Operating Angle Type Service Valve:
1. Remove stem cap with an appropriately sized wrench.
2. Use a service wrench with a hex−head extension (3/16" for liquid line valve sizes and 5/16" for vapor line valve sizes) to back

METHOD 1:
Us this method if 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 to
flush the system.
Remove all refrigerant from the existing system. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that the entire system is completely void of refrigerant.
METHOD 2:
Use this method if the existing outdoor unit is equipped with manual shut−off valves, and you plan to use new refrigerant to flush the system.
The following devices could prevent full system charge recovery into the outdoor unit:
Outdoor unit’s high or low−pressure switches (if applicable) when tripped can cycle the compressor OFF.
Compressor can stop pumping due to tripped internal pressure relief valve.
Compressor has internal vacuum protection that is designed to unload the scrolls (compressor stops pumping) when the pressure ratio meets
a certain value or when the suction pressure is as high as 20 psig. (Compressor suction pressures should never be allowed to go into a vacuum.
Prolonged operation at low suction pressures will result in overheating of the scrolls and permanent damage to the scroll tips, drive bearings and
internal seals.)
Once the compressor can not pump down to a lower pressure due to one of the above system conditions, shut off the vapor valve. Turn OFF the
main power to unit and use a recovery machine to recover any refrigerant left in the indoor coil and line set.
Perform the following task:
AStart the existing system in the cooling mode and close the liquid line valve.
BUse the compressor to pump as much of the existing HCFC−22 refrigerant into the outdoor unit until the outdoor system is full. Turn the outdoor unit
main power OFF and use a recovery machine to remove the remaining refrigerant from the system.
NOTE It may be necessary to bypass the low pressure switches (if equipped) to ensure complete refrigerant evacuation.
CWhen the low side system pressures reach 0 psig, close the vapor line valve.
DCheck gauges after shutdown to confirm that the valves are not allowing refrigerant to flow back into the low side of the system.

506663−01 11/10
MOUNTING SLAB MUST SLOPE
AWAY FROM BUILDING.
GROUND LEVEL
Consider the following when positioning the unit:
Some localities are adopting sound ordinances based
on the unit’s sound level registered from the adjacent
property, not from the installation property. 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. For proper placement of unit in relation
to a window see the provided illustration in figure 5.
Page 6
Page 7
PLACING OUTDOOR UNIT ON SLAB
When installing a unit at grade level, the top of the slab
should be high enough above the grade so that water from
higher ground would not collect around the unit as
illustrated in figure 5.
Slab may be level or have a slope tolerance away from the
building of not more than two degrees, or 2 inches per 5
feet (51 mm per 1524 mm) as illustrated in figure 5.
Slab may be level or have a slope tolerance away from the
building of not more than two degrees, or 2 inches per 5
feet (51 mm per 1524 mm) as illustrated in figure 5.
INSTALLING OUTDOOR UNIT ON ROOF
Install the unit at a minimum of 4 inches (102 mm) above
the surface of the roof. Ensure the weight of the unit is
properly distributed over roof joists and rafters. Redwood
or steel supports are recommended.
New or Replacement Line Set
This section provides information on new installation or
replacement of existing line set. If a new or replacement
line set is not required, then proceed to BrazingConnections on page 9.
If refrigerant lines are routed through a wall, seal and
isolate the opening so vibration is not transmitted to the
building. Pay close attention to line set isolation during
installation of any HVAC system. When properly isolated
from building structures (walls, ceilings. floors), the
refrigerant lines will not create unnecessary vibration and
subsequent sounds.
Also, consider the following when placing and installing a
high−efficiency air conditioner:
REFRIGERANT LINE SET
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and suction lines
from the outdoor unit (braze connections) to the indoor unit
coil (flare or braze connections). Use Lennox L15 (braze,
non−flare) series line set, or use field−fabricated refrigerant
lines as listed in table 2.
IMPORTANT
Mineral oils are not compatible with HFC−410A. If oil
must be added, it must be a Polyol ester oil.
The compressor is charged with sufficient Polyol ester oil
for line set lengths up to 50 feet. Recommend adding oil to
system based on the amount of refrigerant charge in the
system. No need to add oil in system with 20 pounds of
refrigerant or less. For systems over 20 pounds − add one
ounce of every five pounds of refrigerant.
Recommended topping−off POE oils are Mobil EAL
ARCTIC 22 CC or ICI EMKARATE RL32CF.
MATCHING WITH NEW OR EXISTING INDOOR COIL
AND LINE SET
The RFC1−metering line consisted of a small bore copper
line that ran from condenser to evaporator coil. Refrigerant
was metered into the evaporator by utilizing
temperature/pressure evaporation effects on refrigerant in
the small RFC line. The length and bore of the RFC line
corresponded to the size of cooling unit.
If the TSA*S4 is being used with either a new or existing
indoor coil which is equipped with a liquid line which served
as a metering device (RFCI), the liquid line must be
replaced prior to the installation of the TSA*S4 unit.
Typically a liquid line used to meter flow is 1/4" in diameter
and copper.
LIQUID LINE FILTER DRIER INSTALLATION
The filter drier (one is shipped with each TSA*S4 unit) must
be field installed in the liquid line between the outdoor unit’s
liquid line service valve and the indoor coil’s metering
device (fixed orifice or TXV) as illustrated in figure 6. This
filter drier must be installed to ensure a clean,
moisture−free system. Failure to install the filter drier will
void the warranty. A replacement filter drier is available
from Lennox. See Brazing Connections on page 9 for
special procedures on brazing filter drier connections to
the liquid line.
BRAZE CONNECTION POINTS
NOTE − When installing refrigerant lines longer than 50
feet, contact Lennox Technical Support Product
Applications for assistance or Lennox piping manual. To
obtain the correct information from Lennox, be sure to
communicate the following points:
Model (TSA*S4) and size of unit (e.g. −060).
Line set diameters for the unit being installed as listed
in table 2 and total length of installation.
Number of elbows and if there is a rise or drop of the
piping.

IMPORTANT
If this unit is being matched with an approved line set
or indoor unit coil which 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
insulator, preventing proper heat transfer. It can also
clog the expansion device, and reduce the system
performance and capacity.
Failure to properly flush the system per the
instructions below will void the warranty.
CAUTION
Brazing alloys and flux contain materials which are
hazardous to your health.
Avoid breathing vapors or fumes from brazing
operations. Perform operations only in well−ventilated
areas.
Wear gloves and protective goggles or face shield to
protect against burns.
Wash hands with soap and water after handling brazing
alloys and flux.
IMPORTANT
Brazing Connections
Use the procedures outline in figures 8 and 9 for brazing
line set connections to service valves.
IMPORTANT
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.
WARNING
Danger of fire. Bleeding the refrigerant
charge from only the high side may result
in pressurization of the low side shell and
suction tubing. Application of a brazing
torch to a pressurized system may result
in ignition of the refrigerant and oil
mixture − Check the high and low
pressures before applying heat.
WARNING
When using a high pressure gas such as
dry 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).
Connect gauge set low pressure side to vapor line
service valve and repeat procedure starting at
paragraph 4 for brazing the liquid line to service port
valve.
IMPORTANT
Allow braze joint to cool before removing the wet rag
from the service valve. Temperatures above 250ºF can
damage valve seals.
IMPORTANT
Use silver alloy brazing rods with 5% minimum silver
alloy for copper−to−copper brazing. Use 45% minimum
alloy for copper−to−brass and copper−to−steel brazing.
WARNING
Fire, Explosion and Personal Safety
Hazard.
Failure to follow this warning could
result 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.

IMPORTANT
Leak Test Line Set and Indoor Coil
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prohibits
the intentional venting of HFC refrigerants during
maintenance, service, repair and disposal of appliance.
Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming
must be followed.
IMPORTANT
If this unit is being matched with an approved line set
or indoor unit coil which 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
insulator, preventing proper heat transfer. It can also
clog the expansion device, and reduce the system
performance and capacity.
Failure to properly flush the system per the
instructions below will void the warranty.
CONNECT GAUGE
SET
AConnect an HFC−410A manifold gauge set high pressure
1
hose 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.
IMPORTANT
Leak detector must be capable of sensing HFC
refrigerant.
After completing the leak testing the line set and indoor coil
as outlined in figure 12, proceed to Evacuating Line Setand Indoor Coil on page 15.
WARNING
When using a high pressure gas such as
dry 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.

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
2
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) 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.
CConnect a cylinder of dry nitrogen with a pressure regulating valve to the center port of the manifold gauge set.
DAdjust 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.
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.

EVACUATE THE SYSTEM
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 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.
CWhen 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 dry 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.
DShut 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.
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 an
upright cylinder of 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.
GPerform the following:
Close manifold gauge valves.
Shut off HFC−410A cylinder.
Reinstall service valve cores by removing manifold hose from service valve. Quickly install cores with core
tool while maintaining a positive system pressure.
Replace stem caps and secure finger tight, then tighten an additional one−sixth (1/6) of a turn as illustrated.

grilles on outdoor units. The residue is a non−toxic
byproduct of manufacturing the flexible coating. It can be
removed by wiping the coil guard with a cloth.
3. Then, using pliers to grip the head of the push pins, pull
straight out to extract the push pins along one side of
the coil. If necessary, remove the push pins along the
back of the unit; it is usually unnecessary to fully
remove the inner mesh screen.
4. Drape the mesh screen back and wash the coil. When
all the debris has been removed from the coil, reinstall
the mesh screen by positioning it in its original position
and reinserting the push pin. No tool is required to
push the pin back into the same slot in the fins.
5. If the push pin is loose and tends not to stay in place,
brush the fins with a fin brush (22 fins/in). Line up the
push pin a couple fins to the right or left of the original
hole and re−insert the pin.

CAUTION
Physical contact with metal edges and corners while
applying excessive force or rapid motion can result in
personal injury. Be aware of, and use caution when
working near these areas during installation or while
servicing this equipment.
IMPORTANT
Sprinklers and soaker hoses should not be installed
where they could cause prolonged exposure to the
outdoor unit by treated water. Prolonged exposure of the
unit to treated water (i.e., sprinkler systems, soakers,
waste water, etc.) will corrode the surface of steel and
aluminum parts and diminish performance and longevity
of the unit.
Outdoor Coil
1. Make sure power is off before cleaning. Clean and
inspect outdoor coil. The coil may be flushed with a
water hose.
2. The outdoor coil is protected by an inner mesh screen
and a wire cage (see figure 23). If debris has collected
between the mesh screen and the coil and cannot be
dislodged by spraying unpressurized water from
inside coil surface to the outside, the mesh may be
removed by first removing the top of the unit which will
allow for removal of the wire cage.

NOTE It may be necessary to flush the outdoor coil
more frequently if it is exposed to substances which are
corrosive or which block airflow across the coil (e.g., pet
urine, cottonwood seeds, fertilizers, fluids that may contain
high levels of corrosive chemicals such as salts)
Routine Maintenance
In order to ensure peak performance, your system must be
properly maintained. Clogged filters and blocked airflow
prevent your unit from operating at its most efficient level.
1. Air Filter Ask your Lennox dealer to show you
where your indoor unit’s filter is located. It will be either
at the indoor unit (installed internal or external to the
cabinet) or behind a return air grille in the wall or
ceiling. Check the filter monthly and clean or replace
it as needed.
2. Disposable Filter Disposable filters should be
replaced with a filter of the same type and size.
NOTE If you are unsure about the filter required for your
system, call your Lennox dealer for assistance.
3. Reusable Filter Many indoor units are equipped
with reusable foam filters. Clean foam filters with a
mild soap and water solution; rinse thoroughly; allow
filter to dry completely before returning it to the unit or
grille.

NOTE The filter and all access panels must be in place
any time the unit is in operation.
4. Lennox Branded Air Filters are designed to
remove airborne particles from the air passing through
the filter.
5. Indoor Unit The indoor unit’s evaporator coil is
equipped with a drain pan to collect condensate
formed as your system removes humidity from the
inside air. Have your dealer show you the location of
the drain line and how to check for obstructions. (This
would also apply to an auxiliary drain, if installed.)
Thermostat Operation
See the thermostat homeowner manual for instructions on
how to operate your thermostat.
If your system fails to operate, check the following before
calling for service:
Verify room thermostat settings are correct.
Verify that all electrical disconnect switches are ON.
Check for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.
Verify unit access panels are in place.
Verify air filter is clean.
If service is needed, locate and write down the unit
model number and have it handy before calling.
