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.
WARNING
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 electrical codes.

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.
SXIJ-SVX01C-EN
• 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
If the unit is stored before it is installed, take precautions to prevent condensate from forming inside the unit’s electrical compartments and motors.
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
7
8
Installation
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 can cause unpleasant odors and serious health-related indoor air quality problem.
2. Allow adequate service and code clearances as recommended in the “Service Access,” p. 7 section.
3. Position the unit in its final location.
Unit Placement
Install the unit on a firm, level surface.

Ductwork Considerations
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.
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.

NEC and your local/state electrical codes. Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury.
Electrical Requirements
Follow the guidelines in this section, referring to unit wiring diagrams and supply power dimensional information to ensure correct electrical requirements at the installation site. Reference supply power wiring locations on unit submittals or in section
. Specific unit wiring diagrams are provided on each unit. Use these diagrams for connections or trouble analysis.
Supply Power Wiring
It is the installer’s responsibility to provide power supply wiring to the unit. Wiring should conform to NEC and all applicable code requirements. To ensure the unit supply power wiring is properly sized and installed, follow the guidelines below:
• Verify the power supply available is compatible with the unit nameplate ratings. The supply power must be within 10% of the rated voltage listed on the unit nameplate.
• Reference the electrical data. Table 5, p. 13 refers to standard motor, and Table 6, p. 13 refers to oversized motor. Protect the electrical service from over current and short circuit conditions in accordance with NEC requirements. Size protection devices according to the electrical date on the unit nameplate.
• If using a field-supplied disconnect, install it at or near the unit in accordance with NEC. Do not mount a field-supplied disconnect on the unit. Reference the electrical service entrance location on unit submittals.
• Complete the unit power wiring connections onto either the main terminal block or the field-provided non-fused disconnect switch.
• Provide proper unit grounding in accordance with local and national codes.

Voltage Imbalance
WARNING
Live Electrical Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and troubleshooting of this product, it 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 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) / 3 = 226 volts
The percentage of voltage imbalance is then:
100 × (226 - 221) / 226 = 2.2%
In this example, 2.2 percent imbalance of more than 2.0 percent exists, be sure to check the voltage at the unit

Operation
Sequence of Operation
The thermostat controls the unit operation. It has both manual and automatic switches so that 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, or 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 that pull the lowest possible system vacuum while recovering and condensing refrigerant into containment.
• When leak checking, be aware of any new leak test methods that 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 that 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.
• To assist in reducing power generation emissions, always attempt to improve equipment performance with improved maintenance and operations that will help conserve energy resources.
SXIJ-SVX01C-EN
Refrigerant Leak Testing
WARNING
Confined Space Hazards!
Do not work in confined spaces where 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. If a leak in such spaces is detected, evacuate the area immediately and contact the proper rescue or response authority. Failure to take appropriate precautions or to react properly to such potential hazards could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Hazard of Explosion!
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.
In the event of required system repair, leak test the liquid line, evaporator coil, and suction line at pressures as dictated by local codes and use the following procedure:
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.
Maintenance
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.
WARNING
Hazardous Pressures!
If a heat source is required to raise the tank pressure during removal of refrigerant from cylinders, use only warm water or heat blankets to raise the tank temperature. Do not exceed a temperature of 150°F. Do not, under any circumstances apply direct flame to any portion of the cylinder. Failure to follow these safety precautions could result in a sudden rise of pressure possibly resulting in a violent explosion which could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE:
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.
Charging the Refrigerant System
NOTICE:
Compressor Damage!
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to enter the suction line.
Excessive liquid accumulation in the liquid lines could result in compressor damage.
NOTICE:
Compressor Damage!
Never manually or automatically pump down system below 7 psig. This will cause the compressor to operate in a vacuum and result in compressor damage.
To completely charge the system, charge gaseous refrigerant into the suction line shrader valve with the unit running. However, make sure that some refrigerant is present in each circuit before starting the compressors.
