BASEPAN TAB REMOVAL
distance from the unit to prevent restriction of airflow to
and from the unit. Also allow for proper maintenance
space. The barrier should be constructed of materials
which will blend in with the building design.
3. Avoid locating the unit where condensation and freezing
of defrost vapor may annoy the customer. For instance,
installing the unit under a bedroom, kitchen, or picture
window may be annoying to the customer since conden-
sate and fog will occur during the defrost cycle.
4. Avoid locating the unit under the eaves or other over-
head structures as sizeable icicles may form and the unit
may be damaged by these falling icicles.
B. LOCATION AND PREPARATION
OF THE UNIT
1. When removing unit from the pallet, notice the tabs on
the basepan. Remove tabs by cutting with a sharp tool as
shown above in Figure 2, and slide unit off of pallet.
2. The unit should be set on a level support pad at least as
large as the unit base pan, such as a concrete slab. If this
is not the application used please refer to application
bulletin "Trane APB2001-02".
3. The support pad must NOT be in direct contact with any
structure. Unit must be positioned a minimum of 12" from
any wall or surrounding shrubbery to insure adequate
airflow. Clearance must be provided in front of control
box (access panels) and any other side requiring service
access to meet National Electrical Code. Also, the unit
location must be far enough away from any structure to
prevent excess roof run-off water from pouring directly
on the unit. Do not locate unit(s) close to bedroom(s).
4. The top discharge area must be unrestricted for at least
five (5) feet above the unit.
5. When the outdoor unit is mounted on a roof, be sure the
roof will support the unit's weight. Properly selected
isolation is recommended to prevent transmission to the
building structure.

6. The maximum length of refrigerant lines from outdoor to
indoor unit should NOT exceed sixty (60) feet.
7. If outdoor unit is mounted above the air handler, maxi-
mum lift should not exceed sixty (60) feet (suction line).
If air handler is mounted above condensing unit, maxi-
mum lift should not exceed sixty (60) feet (liquid line).
8. Locate and install indoor coil or air handler in accor-
dance with instruction included with that unit.
C. ACCUTRON™ FLOW CONTROL VALVE
If the indoor unit System Refrigerant Flow control is an
Accutron™ orifice and check valve assembly, an orifice size
change may be necessary.
The outdoor model determines the required orifice size.
Check the listed orifice size on nameplate of the selected
outdoor model. If the indoor unit is factory shipped with a
different orifice size, the orifice must be changed to obtain
system rated performance.
NOTE:
Attach R-410A CAUTION Label (located in documentation
package) to access panel of indoor section.
IMPORTANT:
The outdoor unit is shipped with the proper size orifice and a
stick-on orifice size label in an envelope attached to the outdoor
unit. Outdoor unit nameplate will have correct orifice size
specified as BAYFCCV --- A for rated performance.
D. INSTALLING REFRIGERANT LINES
CAUTION
!
If using existing refrigerant lines make certain that all joints
are brazed, not soldered.
Condensing units have provisions for braze connections.
Pressure taps are provided on the service valves of outdoor
unit for compressor suction and liquid pressures.
The indoor end of the recommended refrigerant line sets may
be straight or with a 90 degree bend, depending upon
situation requirements. This should be thoroughly checked
out before ordering refrigerant line sets.
The gas line must always be insulated.
CAUTION
!
In scroll compressor applications, dome temperatures may
be hot. Do not touch top of compressor, may cause minor
to severe burning.
