4.Open both manifold valves and start vacuum pump.

5.Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to a minimum of

500microns or lower. 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 pressure. A rapid rise in pressure indicates a relatively large leak. If this occurs, the leak testing procedure must be repeated.

6.When 500 microns or lower is maintained, close the manifold gauge valves, turn off the vacuum pump, and disconnect the manifold gauge center port hose from the vacuum pump. Attach the manifold gauge center port hose to a nitrogen cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig 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 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.

8.Reconnect the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump, turn the pump on, and continue to evacuate the line set and indoor unit until 500 microns is maintained within a 20 minute period after shutting off the vacuum pump and closing the manifold gauge valves.

9.When the requirements above have been met, disconnect the manifold hose from the vacuum pump. Open the service valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor unit.
