OVERVIEW
1.1 FOREWORD
These instructions are given as a guide to good practice in the installation, start-up, operation, and maintenance by the
user of RAUS/ RAUX units. They do not contain full service procedures necessary for the continued
successful operation of this equipment. The services of a qualified technician should be employed through the medium of
a maintenance contract with a reputable service company. Read this manual thoroughly before unit start-up.
1.2 WARRANTY
A.
The warranty for Thermocold machines is 12 months from the date the machine is operated for the first time but no
more than 18 months from the date of the invoice. The warranty is reduced to 6 months from the start up date for units
running continuously, that is more than 12 hours a day. The date the machine is operated for the first time means the date
reported in the "1st start up form" contained into the "machine log book". This form should be filled in and sent, within 8
days from the start up, to Thermocold.
B.
The warranty is valid if all the installation regulations have been adhered to (both those which may have come from
Thermocold and those coming from current practice), if the "1st start up form" has been filled in and sent to the
Thermocold after sales department.
C.
The warranty is subject to any faults or defects being reported within eight days from their discovery. The warranty
will only be applied if and when the purchaser suspends use of the equipment as soon as a defect has been found.
Replacement items are to be considered always ex TRANE factory. Labour costs to replace failed items either under
warranty or not, will be not of TRANE care.
D.
The warranty is valid if the first running of the machine is carried out by a TRANE authorised assistance centre.
E.
The warranty is subject to regular maintenance of the unit which is appropriately indicated in the "machine log
book" located inside the electrical panel.
F.
The warranty is automatically over in case of payments not fulfilled, non-performance of the contract and even if the
units show tampering without TRANE writing approvals.
G.
Non observance of the above mentioned rules and of all the indications written on this manual, will cause the
immediate loss of warranty, getting free TRANE from any responsibility for the unit and any damages to persons or
things.
1.3 RECEIVING THE UNIT
On receiving the unit, it is up to the customer to check that there is no obvious damage or pieces missing. If this is so, an
immediate complaint must be made to the carrier for damage or for not-delivery and the Receiving Card to be found inside
the unit electrical panel must be filled in. Photographic evidence must be provided for macroscopic damage. The card must
be sent to TRANE within 8 days of receiving the goods: if it is not sent back or delayed, the complaint will not be accepted.
1.4 FACTORY INSPECTION
TRANE units are inspected into the factory, in appropriate areas, in accordance with internal procedures. Each performance
test carried out on the unit is possible only if the same conditions are reproduced and maintained (charge consistency,
constant temperature and evaporation - condensation and recovery capacity, quality and tolerance of the measuring
instruments etc.) in the test rooms.
The inspection conditions are those indicated by the customer in the ordering phase: if not otherwise specified, reference
should be made to the nominal performance indicated in the technical bulletin in force at the date of the Confirmation of the
Order.
SAFETY REGULATIONS
2
All TRANE units are designed, built and inspected in compliance with Pressure Equipment Directive (PED97/23/EC or 2014/68/EU
and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
2.1 ACCESS TO DANGEROUS AREAS
The access to the unit dangerous areas is usually obstructed through protection panels, which are removable, by using a
tool. Axial fans are protected with accident prevention grilles.
For all the units which allow access to the cooling piping without security gratings (optional) or closing panelling, the
following precautions must be taken:
-mark the areas with contact risks.
-apply warning signs.
The danger zone must be of a suitable size to avoid any contact, even accidental contact.
TRANE declines any responsibility for damage to things and unauthorized personnel in case of absence of clear and
static limiting systems of the risk areas and of the relevant warning and danger signs.
