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:
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 such as HCFCs and
HFCs.
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. 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.

Pre-Installation
The final position for the air handler must be dictated
by required service access to it, weight distribution
over structural supports, and by the locations of
electrical, refrigerant and condensate drainage
connections. After this is determined, the following
preparations should be made.
Unit Inspection
Inspect material carefully for any shipping damage. If
damaged, it must be reported to, and claims made
against the transportation company. Compare the
information that appears on the unit nameplate with
ordering and submittal data to ensure the proper unit
was shipped. Available power supply must be
compatible with electrical characteristics specified on
component nameplates. Replace damaged parts with
authorized parts only.
Inspection Checklist
To protect against loss due to damage incurred in
transit, complete the following checklist upon receipt of
the unit.
Inspect individual pieces of the shipment before
accepting the unit. Check for obvious damage to the
unit or packing material.
Inspect the unit for concealed damage before it is
stored and as soon as possible after delivery.
Concealed damage must be reported within 15
days. If concealed damage is discovered, stop
unpacking the shipment. Do not remove damaged
material from the receiving location. Take photos of
the damage if possible. The owner must provide
reasonable evidence that the damage did not occur
after delivery.
Notify the carrier’s terminal of damage immediately
by phone and by mail. Request an immediate joint
inspection of the damage by the carrier and the
consignee.
Notify the sales representative and arrange for
repair. Do not repair the unit until the damage is
inspected by the carrier’s representative.
Testing for Leaks
All TWE units are shipped with a holding charge of
nitrogen in each circuit and should be leak tested
before installation.
1. Remove the access panel.
2. Locate the liquid line or suction line access valve for
each circuit.
3. Install gauges to determine if the circuits are still
pressurized. If not, the charge has escaped and
should be repaired as required to obtain a leak-free
circuit.
Before preparing the unit for lifting, estimate the
approximate center of gravity for lifting safety. Because
of placement of internal components, the unit weight
may be unevenly distributed. See “Weights,” p. 20 for
approximate unit weights.
The crated unit can be moved using a forklift of suitable
capacity. For lifting the unit into an elevated mounting
position, run lifting straps or slings under the unit and
attach securely to the lifting device.
Repositioning Drain Pan
Air handlers come with one drain pan that can be
installed in any one of four positions; this allows for
vertical or horizontal application and right or left
condensate line connection.
NNoottee:: Important! All air handlers are shipped with the
drain pan installed in the horizontal position and
the connection on the left side (as shown in
Figure 1, p. 8. If an alternate position is required,
the drain pan should be repositioned before
setting the air handler.
1. Remove the access plate at the opposite end of the
drain connection. This plate secures and lifts the
back end of the drain pan for sloping. It must be
removed before the drain pan can be removed. This
is done as follows:
a. Remove the screw
b. Lift the access plate up
c. Pull the plate out. If the drain pan is to be moved
to the vertical position also remove the other
two access plates.
2. Remove the screw securing the drain pan.
a. Lift the pan up
b. Slide the pan out
3. Install the drain pan into the new position.

•Available power supply must agree with electrical
data on component nameplate.
•Some standard air handlers are shipped wired for
208-230 volt applications and can be converted for
460 volt by rewiring the blower motor. (This
includes models TWE090D3, TWE090E3,
TWE120D3, TWE120E3, TWE150E3 and TWE180E3).
Converting Motor to 460 Volt
1. Ensure power is disconnected to unit by following
the warning above.
2. Remove unit access panels closest to motor.
3. Open terminal cover on lead end of motor.
4. Pull voltage selector plug from low voltage
selection (see Figure 3, p. 9).
5. Shift the plug (or rotate 180°) to align plug for high
voltage selection and re-insert plug.
IImmppoorrttaanntt:: When re-inserting voltage selection
plug, ensure it is fully seated.
6. Replace terminal cover on lead end of motor.
7. Replace unit access panels.

Reorienting Evaporator Coil (TWE126/
150 and 156/180)
IImmppoorrttaanntt:: Applies to TWE126/150 and 156/180 when
positioned for vertical upflow. Unit is
shipped in the horizontal position. If
installing in the vveerrttiiccaall ppoossiittiioonn, the coil
mmuusstt bbee reoriented by rotating the coil 4
degrees (control box side) from the
shipped position.
1. Remove screws from top evaporator coil bracket
(bracket that attaches coil to cabinet and runs the
length of the unit).
2. Rotate evaporator coil approximately 4 degrees
clockwise - looking from the control box end. When
the evaporator coil is rotated, the lower set of
evaporator coil bracket holes will align with the
support bracket (from which it was originally
fastened).

The air handler is designed so that refrigerant piping
can enter from either the right or left hand side. It is
shipped with the intent that the refrigerant lines will
enter from the left hand side. To convert to right hand
entry, unbraze the elbow on the suction line and rotate
180° and rebraze.
IImmppoorrttaanntt:: Access to refrigerant lines is limited in all
horizontal and some vertical applications.
Therefore, refrigerant lines should be
stubbed out and temporarily capped prior
to setting the air handler. Protect adjacent
surfaces from heat damage when brazing
in and around the air handler.
The general location of the air handler is normally
selected by the architect, contractor and/or buyer. For
proper installation, the following items must be
considered:
•Available power supply must agree with electrical
data on component nameplate.
•If external accessories are installed on the unit,
additional clearances must be provided.
•All duct work should be properly insulated to
prevent condensation and heat loss.
•Refrigerant gas piping must be insulated.
It is recommended that the outline drawings in the
Dimensional Data section be studied and dimensions
properly noted and checked against the selected
installation site. By noting in advance which features
are to be used, proper clearance allowances can be
made for installation and possible future service.
IImmppoorrttaanntt:: When installing these units “free standing”
with discharge grills and isolators, a top
support with isolator should be added to
prevent tipping. Support and isolator can
be attached to a wall or other appropriate
structure.
If adding external accessories to the unit,
additional clearances must be considered
for the overall space needed.
For installation of accessories available for this air
handler, follow the installation instructions that are
shipped with each accessory.
