    Technician: A person who is directly authorized by Trane or, secondarily, for all EU countries except for Italy, by the distributor of the Trane product, under their own responsibility, to carry out all ordinary or extraordinary maintenance operations, as well as regulations, controls, repairs and parts replacement which may be necessary during the lifetime of the unit.
  • Page 4 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.
  • Page 5 The best procedure is the recovery and the recycle. If this is not possible the refrigerant must be conferred to an Dismantlement accredited system for its destruction in order to neutralize acid and toxic by-products. 2.5 PRECAUTIONS AGAINST RESIDUAL RISKS Prevention from risks due to the command system •...
  • Page 6 • if the unit is to be moved after a year of being in the site or if it has to be dismantled contact Trane . IMPORTANT: No high pressure safety valve is installed on the unit by Trane The unit fail safe is assured by cut-out of the electrical power supply to the coils of the compressors contactors.
  • Page 7 DO NOT PULL OUT THE HIGH PRESSURE SWITCHES (TWO PER REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT) IF THE UNIT IS NOT COMPLETELY VOID OF REFRIGERANT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY 2.10 MANUAL ALARM RESET If there is an alarm the unit must not be manually reset before having located and eliminated the cause of the fault. Repeated manual resets may cause the warranty to be annulled.
  • Page 8: Operating Limits

    OPERATING LIMITS 3.1 STORAGE The units can be stored within the following environmental conditions: Min ambient temperature -10°C Max ambient temperature 53°C Max relative humidity 95% not condensable CAUTION: The storage in a very high humidity space (condensation) can damage electronic components. CAUTION: CCUF units are intended only for indoor usage and storage.

    INSTALLATION 4.1 MOVING AND POSITIONING THE UNIT The units have been designed to be lifted from above by means of eyebolts and holes in the base members. Use retractor bars to keep the lifting wires or chains away from the unit. Figure 2 - Correct lifting procedure for platform 1 units (sizes from 050 to 085) Figure 3 - Correct lifting procedure for platform 2 units (sizes...

  • Page 12 Lifting procedures provided with the unit have to be respected. CAUTION Do not use forklift trucks to lift the unit from below. If equipment for lifting from above is not available, using rollers may move the unit. The surface on which the unit is placed must be flat and strong enough to withstand the weight of the unit while running. In order to reduce the transmission of vibrations to the supporting structures, fit shock absorbers in every fastening point.
  • Page 13 4.2 MINIMUM SPACE REQUIREMENTS Dimensional drawing shall be respected to avoid: Difficult maintenance or inaccessibility to components Limited installation space could reduce the normal air flow, thus significantly reducing the unit performance and considerably increasing consumption of electrical energy. The following drawings are views from under the units: Figure 7 - minimum space requirements [mm] Figure 6 - minimum space requirements for platform 2 units (sizes from 100 to 140)
  • Page 14 Figure 9 - minimum space requirements [mm] for platform 4 units (sizes form 485 to 620) Side of the unit that can be placed next to the wall. This means that with the unit at a distance less than the optimal one of 700 mm the accessibility to some components is worse but in any case is ensured even if the unit is leaning against the wall.
  • Page 15: Acoustic Protection

    ACOUSTIC PROTECTION maximum isolation effect, water lines and electrical conduit should also be isolated. Wall sleeves and rubber isolated piping hangers can be used to reduce the sound transmitted through water piping. To reduce the sound transmitted through electrical conduit, use flexible electrical conduit. EU and Local codes on sound emissions should always be considered.

  • Page 44: Start-Up

    CONTROL OF THE OIL CHARGE 14.4 All the compressors mounted on Trane CCUF units are factory charged with oil whose chemical characteristic of stability are very good, so it is not necessary to change frequently the lubricant oil. The scroll compressors are equipped with an oil sight glass from which you can control the level. In tandem or trio performances, pay particular attention to oil level.
