Installation Procedure - Trane FC Installation & Operation Manual

Installing the Unit
Follow the procedures below to install the
unit properly. Reference the "Dimensions
and Weights" section for specific unit
dimensions and mounting hole locations.
Vertical Units
CAUTION
Electrical Wiring!
Do not allow electrical wire to fall
between the unit and installation
surface. Failure to comply may result
in electrical shorts or difficulty
accessing wires.
Install vertical units in an upright position
using the 5 / -inch diameter double key slot
8
hanger holes, located on the back of unit.
The hanger holes allow a maximum
5
shank size of / -inch diameter threaded
16
rods or lag screws (installer provides).
1. Prepare wall openings for recessed
units. Reference unit submittal for each
unit size dimensions. When installing
vertical units, consideration should be
given for units with an outside air
intake.
2. If the unit has leveling legs, adjust them
correctly to level unit.
3. Mark the position of the keyslot hanger
holes on the wall according to the
dimensions given in the Dimensions &
Weights section for each unit model
and size. Align the hole locations evenly.
4. Insert the threaded rods or lag screws
in the wall before setting the unit in
place.
5. Remove the front panel (cabinet unit
only) by lifting it upward.
6. Position the hanger holes, located on
the back of the unit, over the rod or lag
screw heads, pushing the unit
downward to properly position.
7. Complete piping and wiring
connections, in addition to any
necessary ductwork to the unit as
instructed in the following sections.
Ensure that the auxiliary drain pan is in

bottom. Slide the front panel down onto
the tabs while holding the panel close as
possible to the cabinet. While the bottom
tabs are engaged, slide the front panel
upward enough to allow the top engaging
edge of the front panel to lap over the
engaging edge of the unit. This should
allow the panel to drop down and lock
into position.
On recessed units, install the front panel
by aligning and locking together the
interlocking support channel of the panel
and unit. While holding the panel against
the unit, tighten the screws at the top of
the panel until it fits tight against the unit's
front. Do not over tighten the screws.
CAUTION
Motor Overload!
All unit panels and filters must be in
place prior to unit startup. Failure to
have panels and filters in place may
cause motor overload.
