Pre-Installation Considerations - Trane FC Installation & Operation Manual

WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Disconnect all electric power, including
remote disconnects and discharge all
motor start/run capacitors before
servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the
power cannot be inadvertently
energized. For variable frequency
drives or other energy storing
components provided by Trane or
others, refer to the appropriate
manufacturer's literature for allowable
waiting periods for discharge of
capacitors. Verify with an appropriate
voltmeter that all capacitors have
discharged. Failure to disconnect
power and discharge capacitors
before servicing could result in death
or serious injury.
Receiving and Handling
Upon delivery, inspect all components for
possible shipping damage. See the
Receiving Checklist section for detailed
instructions. Trane recommends leaving
units and accessories in their shipping
packages/skids for protection and ease of
handling until installation.
Shipping Package

heaters ship in individual cartons for
handling and storage ease. Each carton
has tagging information such as the
model number, sales order number, serial

unit style to help properly locate the unit
in the floor plan. If specified, the unit will
ship with tagging designated by the
customer.

Installation
! If a unit appears damaged, inspect it
immediately before accepting the
shipment. Manually rotate the fan
wheel to ensure it turns freely. Make
specific notations concerning the
damage on the freight bill. Do not
refuse delivery.
! Inspect the unit for concealed damage
before it is stored and as soon as
possible after delivery. Report
concealed damage to the freight line
within the allotted time after delivery.
Check with the carrier for their allotted
time to submit a claim.
! 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 internal packing, cartons, and crate.
Take photos of damaged material.
! 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.
! Compare the electrical data on the unit
nameplate with the ordering and
shipping information to verify the
correct unit is received.
Jobsite Storage
This unit is intended for indoor use only.
Store the unit indoors to protect the unit
from damage due to the elements. If
indoor storage is not possible, make the
following provisions for outdoor storage:
1. Place the unit(s) on a dry surface or
raised off the ground to assure
adequate air circulation beneath unit
and to assure that no portion of the unit
contacts standing water at any time.
2. Cover the entire unit with a canvas
tarp only. Do not use clear, black or
plastic tarps as they may cause
excessive moisture condensation and
equipment damage.

Installation Preparation
Before installing the unit, consider the
following unit location recommendations
to ensure proper unit operation.
1. Clearances: Allow adequate service
and code clearances as recommended
in "Service Access" section. Position
the unit and skid assembly in its final
location.
2. Structural support: Ensure the
structural support is strong enough to
adequately support the unit. The
installer is responsible for supply
support rods for installation of ceiling
units.
3. Level: Verify the floor or foundation is
level. Shim or repair as necessary. 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.
4. Condensate line & piping: Consider coil
piping and condensate drain
requirements. Verify condensate line is
continuously pitched 1 inch per 10 feet
of condensate line run to adequately
drain condensate.
5. Wall & ceiling openings: Vertical
recessed/concealed units require wall/
ceiling openings. Refer to submittal for
specific dimensions before attempting
to install. Horizontal recessed/concealed
units must meet the requirements of
the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) Standard 90A or 90B
concerning the use of concealed ceiling
spaces as return air plenums. Refer to
the submittal for specific dimensions of
ceiling openings.
6. Exterior: Touch up painted panels if
necessary. If panels need paint, sanding
is not necessary. However, clean the
surface of any oil, grease, or dirt
residue so the paint will adhere.
Purchase factory approved touch up
epoxy paint from your local Trane
Service Parts Center and apply.
