Approved Combinations for Variable Speed Units
•TZONE 850 Comfort Control, or TZONE 950 with Software Version
3.0 or Higher
•TAM8C or later models
•XC80 Furnace
•XC95m Furnace
•Approved System Accessories
Note: See AHRI directory for approved indoor and outdoor model
combinations. Only Trane coils and air handlers are approved
for use with variable speed outdoor units.
Note: It is recommended that these precautions be taken for
units being installed in areas where snow accumulation and
prolonged below-freezing temperatures occur.
•Units should be elevated 3–12 inches above the pad or
rooftop, depending on local weather. This additional height
will allow drainage of snow and ice melted during defrost cycle
prior to its refreezing. Ensure that drain holes in unit base pan
are not obstructed, preventing drainage of defrost water.
•If possible, avoid locations that are likely to accumulate snow
drifts. If not possible, a snow drift barrier should be installed
around the unit to prevent a build-up of snow on the sides of
the unit.
Coastal Considerations
If installed within one mile of salt water, including seacoasts and inland waterways, models without factory supplied Seacoast Salt Shields
require the addition of BAYSEAC001 (Seacoast Kit) at installation time.

Unit Preparation
1. Check for damage and report promptly to the carrier
any damage found to the unit.
2. To remove the unit from the pallet, remove tabs by
cutting with a sharp tool.
Setting Up the Unit
Table 7. Pad Installation
When installing the unit on a support pad, such as a concrete slab,
consider the following:
•The pad should be at least 1” larger than the unit on all sides.
•The pad must be separate from any structure.
•The pad must be level.
•The pad should be high enough above grade to allow for drainage.
•The pad location must comply with National, State, and Local
codes.

Refrigerant Line Considerations

Insulation
Table 8. Required Refrigerant Line Length
Determine required line length and lift. You will need this to determine
the subcooling charging corrections later in the installation process.
Total Line Length = ___________________________Ft.
Total Vertical Change (lift) = ____________________Ft.
Table 9. Refrigerant Line Insulation
Important: The Vapor Line must always be insulated. DO NOT allow
the Liquid Line and Vapor Line to come in direct (metal to
metal) contact.
Note: The gas line must always be insulated. Insulating the liquid line
through attic spaces may benefit system performance by
minimizing heat gain in the liquid line.
Secure Vapor Line from joists using isolators every 8 ft. Secure Liquid Line directly to insulated Vapor Line using tape, wire, or other appropriate
method every 8 ft.

Refrigerant Line Brazing
Table 15. Braze the Refrigerant Lines
1. Remove caps or plugs. Use a deburring tool to debur the pipe
ends. Clean both internal and external surfaces of the tubing
using an emery cloth.
2. Remove the pressure tap cap and valve core from each service
valves.
3. Purge the refrigerant lines and indoor coil with dry nitrogen.

5. Braze the refrigerant lines to the service valves.
a. For Units shipped with a field-installed external drier, check
liquid line filter drier’s directional flow arrow to confirm
correct direction of refrigeration flow (away from outdoor unit
and toward evaporator coil) as illustrated. Braze the filter
drier to the Liquid Line.
6. Continue the dry nitrogen purge. Do not remove the wet rag until
all brazing is completed.
Important: Remove the wet rag before stopping the dry nitrogen
purge.
Note: Precautions should be taken to avoid heat damage to base pan
during brazing. It is recommended to keep the flame directly
off of the base pan.
7. Replace the pressure tap valve cores after the service valves have
cooled.

Table 16. Check for Leaks
1. Pressurize the refrigerant lines and evaporator coil to 150 PSIG
using dry nitrogen.
2. Check for leaks by using a soapy solution at each brazed location.
Note: Remove nitrogen pressure and repair any leaks before
continuing.
Refrigerant Line and Indoor Coil Evacuation
IImmppoorrttaanntt:: Do not open the service valves until the
14
refrigerant lines and indoor coil leak check
and evacuation are complete.
1. Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than
350 microns, then close off the valve to the vacuum
pump.
2. Observe the micron gauge. Evacuation is complete if
the micron gauge does not rise above 500 microns in
one (1) minute.
3. When evacuation is complete, blank off the vacuum
pump and micron gauge, and close the valves on the
manifold gauge set.

Charging: Weigh-In Method
Weigh-In Method can be used for the initial installation, or anytime a system charge is being replaced. Weigh-In Method can also be used when
power is not available to the equipment site or operating conditions (indoor/outdoor temperatures) are not in range to verify with the
subcooling charging method.

Install a separate disconnect switch at the outdoor unit.
For high voltage connections, flexible electrical conduit is
recommended whenever vibration transmission may create a noise
problem within the structure.

The demand defrost control measures heat pump
outdoor ambient temperature with a sensor located
outside the outdoor coil. A second sensor located on
the outdoor coil is used to measure the coil
temperature. The difference between the ambient and
the colder coil temperature is the difference or delta-T
measurement. This delta-T measurement is
representative of the operating state and relative
capacity of the heat pump system. By measuring the
change in delta-T, we can determine the need for
defrost. The coil sensor also serves to sense outdoor
coil temperature for termination of the defrost cycle.

Demand Defrost is enabled with the following inputs to
the Integrated Variable Speed Control (IVSC):
•Outdoor ambient temperature sensor (ODS-B)
reporting an outdoor temperature at or below 52° F.
•Coil temperature sensor (CBS) reporting a coil
temperature at or below 35° F.
•Heat/Cool Demand (HCD) from the communicating
comfort control for at least two minutes or more.
DDeeffrroosstt IInniittiiaattiioonn
The calculated temperature difference between the
outdoor temperature sensor and the coil temperature
sensor is called Delta T. Defrost can occur once the
current Delta T exceeds the Delta T initiate value. The
Defrost initiate value is calculated using a clean-coil
Delta T x 2.0, plus a temperature bin correction factor.
Initiation Delta Twill automatically adjust based on the
outdoor temperature. This adaptive logic assures a
complete defrost for a range of outdoor temperatures.
1. System must be running with demand from the
thermostat.
2. FRC DFT TEST can be initiated in heat mode only.
