Warnings, Cautions and Notices

Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required. Your personal safety and the proper
operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance of these precautions.

The three types of advisories are defined as follows:

Warnings, Cautions and Notices

WARNING

CAUTIONs

NOTICE

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury..

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in minor or moderate injury. It could also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
Indicates a situation that could result in equipment or property-damage only
accidents.

Important Environmental Concerns

Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally
occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the
identified chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine
and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all
refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment.
Trane advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants including industry replacements for
CFCs and HCFCs such as saturated or unsaturated HFCs and HCFCs.

Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices

Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our
customers and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be
certified according to local rules. For the USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the
requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the
equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may
have additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible management of
refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.

WARNIN G

Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required

Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury. All field wiring must be performed
by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE and
ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field
wiring installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/state/national electrical
codes.

WARNIN G

Use of Refrigerant!

Failure to follow recommendations in the use of service equipment or components classified
for the use of R410A refrigerant, could give way to equipment or component explosion under
R410A pressures and as a result lead to death or serious injury or equipment damage. R410A
refrigerant works at a higher pressure than R22 refrigerant. Employ only service equipment or
components classified for use with this unit. In case of specific doubts related with the use of
refrigerant, consult your local Trane representative.

Unit Installation

Unit Installation

Location

Prior to the installation, select and verify the adaptability of the location for both indoor and outdoor
units. Take into consideration all limitations and clearance requirements. The outdoor unit must
comprise sufficient clearance for incoming air into the condenser, for discharge air, and for service
access. See Figure 2.

Important: In the case of multiple units installation, these must be spaced to contain a minimum

If the unit is to be installed on the roof with exposure to sun rays, or on a “blackened” surface, then
the unit must be placed over a base with sufficient elevation that will prevent the accumulation of
hot air being drawn into the outdoor unit.

Provide an appropriate structured support.

Installation on Outdoor Flat Surface

The unit may be installed on a solid flat surface which cannot shift or move in order to prevent stress
over refrigerant lines or possible leaks. Clearances must be maintained as can be seen in Figure

2. Installation must be completely balanced.

Normal operation levels of noise may prove to be objectionable if the unit is installed directly below
windows o close to bedrooms, studios, etc.

Important: Outdoor unit must not be installed in areas where accumulation of mud or ice may

Place the unit high enough to avoid blocking the entry of air due to ice/snow or in areas that are
prone to accumulate ice/snow. Isolate the unit away from drains to avoid mud slides/landslides of
the foundation.

cause personal injury or damages to the system.

Installation on the Roof

When installing the unit on the roof, the structure should be able to support the total weight of the
unit, including mounting frame, rails, etc., which must be used to minimize the transmission of
sound or vibrations to the conditioned space.

Installation of the unit

1. Provide a mounting base on the selected installation area.

2. Remove all packaging material and inspect the unit in search of possible damages.

3. Compressor fastening nuts must remain tightened.

4. Place the unit on the provided mounting base.

The outdoor unit must be connected to the indoor coil with the provided copper refrigerant piping.
The installation must employ only the approved sizes of pipes for system combinations.
Refrigerant charge shown on the unit’s nameplate refers to the lengths of standard size
interconnecting liquid line up to 15 feet.

Note: The use of a larger size of line from original specifications could cause problems of oil

return. The use of a much smaller size of line could cause loss of capacity and other
problems provoked by insufficient flow of refrigerant. Tilt the horizontal suction lines at
least 1” every 20 feet towards the outdoor unit to aid in the appropriate return of oil.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

These instructions are intended to provide a method of installation of the unit to the concrete base
in order to establish a protective procedure in cases of strong winds. It is recommended to verify
local codes for the application of methods and protocols for secure setting of the unit.

Figure 4. Preferred Method for Unit Setting

Cautions to be Observed During Installation of Refrigerant Lines

1. Install lines with the least amount of curves possible. Avoid damaging line couplings or line
curves. Use clean and hard drawn copper tubing at points where it will not be necessary to
apply multiple curves around obstructions. When it is necessary to use soft copper, it should
be carefully applied avoiding sharp curves that may provoke any type of restriction.

2. Install lines avoiding any obstructions to the coil, to the air handling components o to the filter.

3. Take special care in the application of insulation to refrigerant lines in order to minimize the
transmission of sound to the structure.

4. When applying insulation material to the suction line, refrigerant lines should be supported as
illustrated in Figure 5. DO NOT allow any friction contact between metal piping.

5. Use PVC piping as conduit in all underground installations. See Figure 6. Underground lines
should be kept as short as possible in order to minimize the accumulation of liquid refrigerant
in the suction line during extended system shutdown periods.

6. In an effort to reduce vibrations and to retain some degree of flexibility, place a type of sealant
material like permagum or similar around refrigerant lines that must be directed through walls.

Precautionary Measures During Line Brazing

All connections to indoor unit and to evaporator coil will be copper-to-copper. Brazing material
should be done with the use of a copper-phosphorous alloy such as Silfos-5 or equivalent. DO NOT
employ soft brazing alloy. Outdoor units contain service valves in both liquid and suction
connections. Total system refrigerant charge is retained inside the outdoor unit during shipment
and installation. Service valves are provided for evacuation and charging in accordance with these
instructions.

The application of precautionary measures to ensure that system is clean and dry will aid in the
avoidance of serious service problems.

¡CAUTION!

During line brazing always supply dry nitrogen through the lines due to the fact that temperature
is sufficiently high to cause metal oxide of copper tubing, unless an inert atmosphere is provided.
The flow of dry nitrogen must continue until the coupling/connection has cooled. Always use a
pressure regulator and security valve to ascertain that only low pressure dry nitrogen is introduced
into the line. Only a small amount of flow is required to move the air and prevent oxidation.

Precautionary Measures During Service Valve Brazing

Precautionary measures should be adopted to prevent heat damage to the service valve.Wrap a
wet cloth around the valve as shown in Figure 8. During brazing action, protect all painted surfaces
and insulation; also, be sure to remove the Schraeder core to protect it against high temperature
in the area due to the welding process. Once brazing has ended, wrap the coupling with a wet cloth.

In order to open the valve, it is necessary to remove the top of the plunger/piston and insert a hex
wrench over the valve stem to turn it counterclockwise until the valve stem reaches the angled
retention wall.

Connect refrigerant lines as follows;

1. Remove the Schraeder core taps from both service ports of liquid and suction lines’ service
valves on the outdoor unit. Connect low pressure nitrogen flow to the service port of the liquid
line.

Figure 8. Protection against heat

12 MS-SVN052E-EN

2. Weld the liquid line to the liquid valve on the outdoor unit. Do not forget to wrap the body of
the valve with a wet cloth. Continue to allow the flow of nitrogen.

3. Protect the suction valve with a wet cloth and braze the suction line connection to the outdoor
unit. The flow of nitrogen should be leaving the system from the service port connection of the
suction line. When this connection has cooled, remove the flow of nitrogen from the service
port at the liquid coupling.

Unit Installation

4. Replace the Schraeder core once more onto the liquid and suction valves.

5. Carry out leak tests on all refrigerant line connections, including tapered valves at the service
port to ensure they are all leak-free. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN (between 40 and 60 in.lbs

maximum).

6. Purge suction line, evaporator, and liquid line at 350 microns or less. Consult Data Sheet to learn
the appropriate sizing of liquid line.

Table 1. Recommended Size for Liquid and Suction Lines (in.)

Mod e l Líq u id

2 4 3/8 7/8

3 6 3/8 7/8

4 8 3/8 7/8

6 0 3/8 7/8

7. Replace taps once more onto service ports. Do not remove tapered caps of service ports unless
absolutely necessary for system service tasks.

8. Release the refrigerant charge inside the system. Open both liquid and suction valves; remove
the plunger/piston cap and insert a hex wrench over the stem in order to turn it
counterclockwise until said valve stem reaches the angled retention wall.

9. Replace the plunger/piston cap once more and tighten with your fingers; give it an additional
1-1/2 turn with your fingers. The cap should be placed in order to prevent leaking.

Su ct ion

¡WARNING!

Never try to repair soldered connections while the system is under low pressure. Such
action could provoke personal injuries. Consult “System Charging” section to verify and

register system charge values.

Interconnecting Lines

Suction and Liquid Lines

Maintain all lines duly sealed until ready for interconnection tasks.

First, carry out connections on the indoor coil.

Consult line sizing information on Ta bl e 2 and Table 3 to verify the use of correct sizes and
multipliers to determine the capacity for several diameter sizes of suction line and routing lengths.
Losses due to exposure of lines under outdoor conditions are not included.

Factory refrigerant charge for outdoor unit is sufficient for 15 feet of standard size interconnecting
liquid line.

Maximum Length for Lines

Maximum length for interconnecting lines is 160 feet.

Step 4 - Connect the thermostatic expansion valve TXV to the liquid line and gas line piping of the
indoor unit. Apply appropriate torque. Verify the absence of refrigerant leaks.

MS-SVN052E-EN 15

Unit Installation

Evacuation

It is required to evacuate the system at 350 microns or less. If a leak is suspect, apply dry nitrogen
to locate it. Repair the leak and repeat the leak test. To verify that the system reports no further leaks,
close the valve that goes to the suction vacuum pump; this will isolate it and will allow you to
sustain the system under a vacuum. Observe the gauge during several minutes. If reading indicates
a stable and continuous increase, it will be indicative of a leak. If the gauge indicates an increase
and after several minutes it stabilizes and remains constant, it will be indicative of a system free
of leaks but still withholding humidity. This situation will require an additional evacuation in the
event of a gauge reading above 350 microns.

System Operation

Control Logic Description

The variable speed system adopts the same 24VAC control as conventional heat pumps.

Compressor speed is controlled according to coil pressures monitored by the pressure transducer.
In order to ensure stable and appropriate capacity, compressor speed is modulated in accordance
with evaporator pressure during the cooling mode, and in accordance with condensing pressure
during the heating mode. Nominal pressure can be adjusted automatically at the SW4 switch to
reach optimized compressor operational capacity, as well as to satisfy higher dehumidifying and
capacity demands.

System Operation

Tf sensor is required for:

– Protection against module temperature (high temperature)

A pressure transducer (PT) is required for:

– Operating speed control

– Outdoor electronic expansion valve (heat pump only)

– High pressure protection (heating mode heat pump only)

– Low pressure protection (cooling mode)

Defrost Description (Heat Pump Only)

Defrost control (when ordered) measures coil temperature with the use of a sensor located on the
heat pump coil. In order to measure outdoor ambient temperature, a second sensor is located on
the outside of the outdoor coil.

Defrost cycle starts with the reading of various parameters, i.e., outdoor unit coil temperature (T3
temperature sensor), outdoor environment temperature (T4 temperature sensor), cummulative
time of operation, coil temperature and high pressure (when high pressure is found to be lower
than a specific value).

Defrost cycle starts under one of 3 conditions as follows:

1. When temperature differential (Delta T) between outdoor temperature (T4) and coil
temperature (T3) reaches a duration of 5 minutes, that is:

• T4 ≥ 39ºF, Delta T = 18ºF

• T4 ≥ 30ºF, Delta T = 16ºF

• T4 ≥ 19ºF, Delta T = 14ºF

• When T4 ˂ 19ºF, T3 ˂ 9ºF

2. When minimum time of operation (MRT) based on outdoor temperature is for example:

• MRT - 4 hour duration when: T4 ˂ 23ºF

• MRT - 2 hour duration when: 23ºF ≤ T4 ˂ 42ºF

3. When saturation temperature descends below 82ºF during a period of 20 minutes.

Defrost cycle ends under the following conditions:

1. When outdoor coil temperature (T3) reaches 64ºF during a period of 1 minute or when defrost
period exceeds 8 minutes.

2. The adjustment of SW5 switch offers various defrost cycle options depending upon
geographical conditions and/or outdoor area conditions.

6. If a second test is required, repeat Step 3 after 5 minutes has elapsed.

Compressor Crankcase Heater Description

The migration during the OFF cycle can result in a noisy startup. The use of a crankcase heater
(CCH) minimizes refrigerant migration, reduces startup noise, and reduces the wearing out of
bearings.

Crankcase heater must be located on the lower half of the compressor shell. Its purpose is to heat
the compressor during the OFF cycle and avoid the return of refrigerant to the compressor.

At initial startup, or after extended periods of inactivity, the crankcase heater must be activated
during a minimum of 12 hours prior to compressor operation, applying line tension to the system
but with the controller in OFF mode.

Crankcase heater operation is initiated:

1. When the application of line tension for the first time and compressor discharge temperature
is T5˂104ºF.

2. During the defrost process.

3. When compressor stops operating during a period of 4 hours and outdoor temperature is
T4˂50ºF or T5˂104ºF.

Crankcase heater operation ends:

1. When compressor discharge temperature is T5 ≥ 113ºF.

2. During heating mode and stops working during cooling mode.

Final Leak Test

Manintenance

System Operation

After evacuating and charging the unit, use a halogen detector to detect any leaking. All piping must
be verified in the evaporator, in the condenser and in the interconnecting lines. If a leak is detected,
all refrigerant must be recovered before any intent of repair is carried out. The Clear Air Act forbids
any emission of refrigerant to the atmosphere.

1. Prevent the accumulation of dirt in the indoor unit or in the outdoor coils and in any other parts
of the air-conditioning system circuit. Cleaning methods should be exercised frequently to
maintain the unit under a clean state. Use appropriate brushes, vacuum cleaners or other
adequate accessories.

2. Outdoor fan motor is permanently lubricated and does not require periodic oiling.

3. Refer to heater and air handler instructions for filter and fan motor maintenance.

4. Carry out regular inspections of the indoor coil and drain pan to ensure appropriate operation.

CAUTION!

Under the law, the emission of refrigerant to the atmosphere is not allowed during unit servicing,
repairing, maintenance or unit discarding. Once the unit is operating appropriately and once the
proprietor has received proper instructions regarding the unit, obtain the corresponding approval
from the proprietor of the equipment.
