Pre−Charge Maintenance Checks
IMPORTANT
Use table 5 as a general guide when performing maintenance checks. This is not a procedure for charging the
unit (Refer to Charging / Checking Charge section). Minor variations in these pressures may be expected due to
differences in installations. Significant differences could mean that the system is not properly charged or that
a problem exists with some component in the system.

*IMPORTANTThese are most popular match−up pressures. Indoor match up, indoor air quality, and indoor
load cause pressures to vary.
**Temperature of the air entering the outside coil.
Weigh in Charge
1. Recover the refrigerant from the unit.
2. Conduct leak check; evacuate as previously outlined.
3. Weigh in the unit nameplate charge plus any charge re-
quired for line set differences from 15 feet and any extra
indoor unit match−up amount per table 7. (If weighing
facilities are not available, use the subcooling method.)

Charge per Line Set Lengths

Set Diameter
Oz. per 5 ft. (g per 1.5m) adjust from
15 ft. (4.6m) line set*
3/8 in. (9.5mm) 3 ounce per 5 ft. (85g per 1.5m)
NOTE − *If line length is greater than 15 ft. (4.6 m), add this amount. If
line length is less than 15 ft. (4.6 m), subtract this amount.
Subcooling Charge
Requirementsthese items are required for charging:
Manifold gauge set connected to unit.
Thermometers for measuring outdoor ambient, liquid line,
and vapor line temperatures.
When to use cooling modeWhen outdoor temperature
is 60°F (15°C) and above, use cooling mode to adjust
charge.
When to use heating modeWhen the outdoor tempera-
ture is below 60°F (15°C), use the heating mode to adjust
the charge.
Adding Charge for Indoor Match−UpTable 7 lists all the
Lennox recommended indoor unit matches along with the
charge levels for the various sizes of outdoor units.
