SAFETY WARNING

Only qualified personnel should install and service the equipment. The installation, starting up, and servicing of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning equipment can be hazardous and requires specific knowledge and training. Improperly installed, adjusted or altered equipment by an unqualified person could result in death or serious injury. When working on the equipment, observe all precautions in the literature and on the tags, stickers, and labels that are attached to the equipment.

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:

WARNING

CAUTION

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 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.

WARNING

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!

Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken could result in death or serious injury. Technicians, in order to protect themselves from potential electrical, mechanical, and chemical hazards, MUST follow precautions in this manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels, as well as the instructions below:

• Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST put on all PPE recommended for the work being undertaken. ALWAYS refer to appropriate MSDS sheets and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.

• When working with or around hazardous chemicals, ALWAYS refer to the appropriate

MSDS sheets and OSHA guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory protection, and handling recommendations.

• If there is a risk of arc or flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE in accordance with NFPA

70E or other country-specific requirements for arc flash protection, PRIOR to servicing the unit.

Mounting the Device

1. Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the square groove in the bottom of the

Simple Touch Remote Control. Then pull up the front cover to separate it from the back cover.

2. Route the communication cable in one of the following ways: a. Through the slots in the housing along the edges of the back cover.

Wiring

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.

Observe the following requirements and precautions when making electrical connections.

• Make all electrical connections in accordance with electrical codes and ordinances.

• If you install the remote control with thermostat wire, remove 12 in. (30 cm) of the cable sheath and install only two of the conductors.

• Use 18 AWG, 25 pF/ft nom., 60.7

 impedance, braid or foil shielded, twisted pair wire for communications wiring.

• Tightening torque for M4 screws: 0.86–1.06 lbf·ft (12.0–14.7 kgf·cm). Overtightening may damage screw threads.

1. Connect the communication and power cable (F3, F4) to the terminals on the back cover of the control.

Best Practice: Maintain consistent polarity with wiring connections (F3 to F3, F4 to F4) to minimize troubleshooting time.

2. Re-assemble the control by aligning the two ports at the top of the display with the clips at the top of the back plate and snapping the two pieces together.

NOTICE

The display and touch pad are sensitive to pressure. When re-assembling the control, ensure that the wires do not push on the back of the display. Pressure to the display may break or distort it.

Wiring for Individual Control

Individual control refers to controlling one indoor unit with the use of one

Simple Touch Remote Control, as shown in Figure 2 .

Note: Regardless of the indoor unit group address (RMC address), only the indoor unit that is connected to F3,F4 is individually controlled.

Notes:

• Regardless of the indoor unit group address (RMC address), only the indoor units that are connected to F3,F4 are controlled as a group.

• A maximum of 16 indoor units can be controlled as a group.

• All indoor units in the group must be connected to a remote control.

• For group control with indoor units connected to different outdoor units, the address of each outdoor unit must be unique.

Indoor Unit Tracking

The VRF system uses the term “tracking” for the process of indoor unit discovery and addressing.

• When power is applied to a newly installed remote control, the device automatically begins tracking.

• While tracking is in progress, the quantity of discovered units is indicated on the display. See

Figure 6, p. 10

. (If a system has master and slave wired controls, only the master displays the total quantity of discovered units.)

• To repeat tracking at any time, press the top right corner (hidden button) for

>7 seconds.

• If the number of connected indoor units is increased or decreased after installation, repeat the tracking process.
