Acoustic Considerations; Installation Preparation - Trane SCIH Installation Operation & Maintenance

Installation
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.
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
2. Allow adequate service and code clearances as recommended in the
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.

– Notify your Trane representative of the damage and arrange for repair. Have the carrier
inspect the damage before making any repairs to the unit.
WARNING
(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.
