Receiving and Handling
Shipping Package
Integral air-cooled units ship assembled
on skids. Units ship in the unitary
configuration, assembled, piped, and
charged with refrigerant.
Receiving Checklist
Complete the following checklist
immediately after receiving unit
shipment to detect possible shipping
damage.
Verify that the unit nameplate data
corresponds to the sales order and bill
of lading (including electrical data).
Visually inspect the unit exterior for
physical signs of shipping damage or
material shortages.
If a unit appears damaged, inspect it
immediately before accepting the
shipment. Remove access panels and
check for interior component damage.
Make specific notations concerning the
damage on the freight bill. Do not
refuse delivery.
Report concealed damage to the
freight line within the allotted time after
delivery. Verify with the carrier their
allotted time to submit a claim.
Note: Failure to follow these procedures
may result in no reimbursement for
damages from the freight company.
Do not move damaged material from
the receiving location. It is the receiver’s
responsibility to provide reasonable
evidence that concealed damage did
not occur after delivery.
Do not continue unpacking the
shipment if it appears damaged. Retain
all packaging. Take photos of damaged
material if possible.
Notify the carrier’s terminal of the
damage immediately by phone and
mail. Request an immediate joint
inspection of the damage by the carrier
and consignee.
Notify your Trane representative of
the damage and arrange for repair.
Have the carrier inspect the damage
before making any repairs to the unit.
Unit Storage
Take precautions to prevent condensate
from forming inside the unit’s electrical
compartments and motors if the unit is
stored before it is installed.
Service Access
Maintain adequate clearances around
and above the unit to ensure proper unit
operation and allow sufficient service
access. Trane recommends 36-inches
service access on all sides of the unit.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage!
Disconnect all electric power,
including remote disconnects before
servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the
power can not be inadvertently
energized. Failure to disconnect
power before servicing could result in
death or serious injury.
Acoustic Considerations
Before determining the final unit
installation site, remember that proper
unit placement is critical in reducing
transmitting sound levels to the building.
The ideal time to make provisions to
reduce sound transmissions is during
the design phase. The most economical
means of avoiding a potential acoustical
problem is to place units in areas that are
not acoustically sensitive.
Unit Location
Install the unit in a dry, indoor area
between 50 and 115°F. Choose a location
where sound levels, airflow and vibration,
commonly associated with heavy-duty
commercial equipment, will not be
objectionable to occupants. In multiple
unit installations, separate the individual
units and stagger their location from floor
to floor so as not to starve units for air
and not to discharge warm condenser air
from one condenser into the intake of
another condenser. Place thermostats, air
supplies and returns so that the individual
unit will operate within its zone.
Installation Preparation
Before installing the unit, perform the
following procedures to ensure proper
unit operation.
1. Verify the installation location is level.
To ensure proper unit operation, install
the unit level (zero tolerance) in both
horizontal axes. Failure to level the unit
properly can result in condensate
management problems, such as
standing water inside the unit. Standing
water and wet surfaces inside units can
result in microbial growth (mold) in the
drain pan that may cause unpleasant
odors and serious health-related indoor
air quality problem.
2. Allow adequate service and code
clearances as recommended in the
Service Access section.
3. Position the unit in its final location.
Unit Placement
Install the unit on a firm, level surface.
Installing Optional Accessories
Before installing ductwork, install
accessories on unit.
Install all air ducts according to the
National Fire Protection Association
standards for the “Installation of Air
Conditioning and Ventilation Systems
other than Residence Type (NFPA 90A)
and Residence Type Warm Air Heating
and Air Conditioning Systems (NFPA
90B).
Make duct connections with a flexible
material such as heavy canvas. If a fire
hazard exists, Trane recommends using
Flexweave 1000, type FW30 or equivalent canvas. Use three inches for the
return duct and three inches for the
discharge duct. Keep the material loose
to absorb unit vibration.
Run the ductwork as far as possible
without changing size or direction. Do not
make abrupt turns or transitions near the
unit due to increased noise and excessive
static losses. Use elbows with splitters or
turning vanes to minimize static losses.
Poorly constructed turning vanes may
cause airflow generated noise. Check
total external static pressures against fan
characteristics to be sure the required
airflow is available throughout the
ductwork.
requirements
Direct louvers up and down for condensers air discharge and intake so as to not
short circuit condenser air. Pitch outdoor
ducts away from unit to protect unit from
rain and snow entering with condenser
air. Auxiliary louvers and hoods may be
required for this purpose. Attach ducts to
unit with canvas section duct connectors
or other suitable noise and vibration
absorbing devices.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage!
Disconnect all electric power,
including remote disconnects before
servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the
power can not be inadvertently
energized. Failure to disconnect

may be necessary to work with live
electrical components. Have a
qualified licensed electrician or other
individual who has been properly
trained in handling live electrical
components perform these tasks.
Failure to follow all electrical safety
precautions when exposed to live
electrical components could result in
death or serious injury.
Voltage Imbalance
Voltage imbalance on three-phase
systems can cause motor overheating
and premature failure. Maximum
allowable imbalance is 2.0%, and the
readings used to determine it must be
measured at the compressor terminals.
Voltage imbalance is defined as 100 times
the sum of the division of the three
voltages from the average voltage. If, for
example, the three measured voltages
are 221, 230, 227, the average would be:
(221+230+227) = 226 volts
3
The percentage of voltage imbalance is
then:
100*(226-221) = 2.2%
226
In this example, 2.2 percent imbalance of
more than 2.0 percent exists, be sure to
check the voltage at the unit disconnect
and terminal block switch. If an imbalance
at the unit disconnect switch does not
exceed 2.0 percent, the imbalance is
caused by faulty wiring within the unit. Be
sure to conduct a thorough inspection of
the unit electrical wiring connections to
locate the fault, and make any repairs
necessary.

Sequence of
Operation
Sequence of Operation
The thermostat controls the unit
operation. It has both manual and
automatic switches so the thermostat
maintains desired comfort levels.
The fan switch allows manual selection of
the fan speed using the On or Auto
setting. With the switch set in the On
position, the evaporator fan runs continuously, independent from the thermostat
temperature setting. The Auto position
cycles the evaporator fan on and off with
the demand for heating or cooling.
The system switch may have two or
more positions. For example, using a
cooling only thermostat, the system
switch can be set in the Off or the Cool
position. The Off position disconnects
power from the thermostat contacts that
control the condensing unit. This prevents

the condensing unit from running,
regardless of the thermostat temperature setting. The evaporator fan may
circulate air if the fan switch is in the On
position. With the switch in the Cool
position the condensing unit and evaporator will operate on a signal from the
thermostat calling for cooling.
With the fan switch set to Auto and the
system switch set to Cool, the following
sequence takes place. On a rise in room
temperature, the thermostat contacts
close to provide power to the evaporator
fan contactor, the condensing unit fan
contactor, and the condensing unit
compressor contactors. As the room
temperature reaches setpoint, the
thermostat contacts open to de-energize
all contactors, and the system cycles off.
This system will remain off until additional
cooling is required and the cycle repeats.

Refrigerant System
Follow the Trane recommended
procedures on operation, maintenance,
and service to ensure refrigerant
conservation and emission reduction.
Also, pay specific attention to the
following:
• Whenever removing refrigerant from
air conditioning or refrigerating
equipment, recover for reuse, recycle,
reprocess (reclaim), or properly
destroy it.
• Always determine possible refrigerant
recycling or reclaiming requirements
before beginning recovery. Questions
about recovered refrigerants and
acceptable refrigerant quality
standards are addressed in ARI
Standard 700.
• Use approved containment vessels and
safety standards. Comply with all
applicable transportation standards
when shipping refrigerant containers.
• To minimize emissions while recovering
refrigerant, use recycling equipment.
Always attempt to use methods which
will pull the lowest possible system
vacuum while recovering and
condensing refrigerant into
containment.
• When leak checking, be aware of any
new leak test methods which eliminate
refrigerant as a trace gas.
• When cleaning system components or
parts, do not use CFC11 (R11) or
CFC113 (R113). Refrigeration system
clean up methods using filters and
dryers are recommended. Do not use
solvents which have ozone depletion
factors. Properly dispose of used
materials.
• Take extra care to properly maintain all
service equipment directly supporting
refrigerant service work such as
gauges, hoses, vacuum pumps, and
recycling equipment.
• Stay aware of unit enhancements,
conversion refrigerants, compatible
parts, and manufacturer’s
recommendations that will reduce
refrigerant emissions and increase
equipment operating efficiencies.
Follow specific manufacturer’s
guidelines for conversion of existing
systems.
Maintenance
• To assist in reducing power generation
emissions, always attempt to improve
equipment performance with improved
maintenance and operations that will
help conserve energy resources.
Refrigerant Leak Testing
WARNING
Confined space hazard!
Do not work in confined spaces where
sufficient quantities of a refrigerant or
other hazardous, toxic or flammable
gas may be leaking. Refrigerant or
other gases could displace available
oxygen to breathe, causing possible
asphyxiation or other serious health
risks. Some gases may be flammable
and or explosive. Evacuate the area
immediately and contact the proper
rescue or response authority. Failure
to take appropriate precautions or to
react preperly to a potential hazard
could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Explosion hazard!
Use only dry nitrogen with a pressure
regulator for pressurizing unit. Do not
use acetylene, oxygen or compressed
air or mixtures containing them for
pressure testing. Do not use mixtures
of a hydrogen containing refrigerant
and air above atmospheric pressure
for pressure testing as they may
become flammable and could result in
an explosion. Refrigerant, when used
as a trace gas should only be mixed
with dry nitrogen for pressurizing
units. Failure to follow these
recommendations could result in
death or serious injury or equipment
or property-only damage.
procedures
In the event of required system repair,
leak test the liquid line, evaporator coil,
and suction line at pressures dictated by
local codes, and using the following
guidelines.
1. Charge enough refrigerant and dry
nitrogen into the system to raise the
pressure to 100 psig.
2. Use a halogen leak detector, halide
torch, or soap bubbles to check for
leaks. Check interconnecting piping
joints, the evaporator coil connections,
and all accessory connections.
3. If a leak is detected, release the test
pressure, break the connections and
reassemble it as a new joint, using
proper brazing techniques.
4. If no leak is detected, use nitrogen to
increase the test pressure to 150 psig
and repeat the leak test. Also, use soap
bubbles to check for leaks when
nitrogen is added.
5. Retest the system to make sure new
connections are solid.
6. If a leak is suspected after the system
has been fully charged with refrigerant,
use a halogen leak detector, halide
torch, or soap bubbles to check for
leaks.
Refrigerant Evacuation
For field evacuation, use a rotary style
vacuum pump capable of pulling a
vacuum of 100 microns or less.
When connecting the vacuum pump to a
refrigeration system, it is important to
manifold the pump to both the high and
low side of the system. Follow the pump
manufacturer’s directions.

CAUTION
Compressor damage!
Do not use a Meg ohm meter or apply
power to the winding of a compressor
while it is under a deep vacuum. This
may damage the motor windings.
WARNING
Hazardous pressure!
If heat is required to raise the
refrigerant pressure during
refrigerant removal, use only warm
water or heat blankets. Do not exceed
150°F. Do not apply a direct flame to
the refrigerant container. Failure to
follow thee safety precautions can
result in a violent explosion, which
could result in death or serious injury.
procedures
CAUTION
Compressor damage!
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to enter
the suction line. Excessive liquid may
damage the compressor.
CAUTION
Compressor damage!
Never manually or automatically
