CFCs such as HCFCs and HFCs. Responsible Refrigerant Practices! Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures.

Installation installation procedure Field Installed Control Wiring (Optional) – Complete the field wiring connections. Note: All field installed wiring must comply with NEC and applicable local codes. Fan Discharge Conversion Procedure Refer to Figure 8, p. 20 Table 8, p. 20 while following the steps below to convert the fan discharge from vertical to horizontal.
Installation installation procedure Low Ambient Damper Installation (SCIH only) Reference Figure 9, p. 21 and follow the procedure below to install the low ambient damper option. 1. Using a 1" hole saw, make a hole on the right side of the condenser fan discharge panel as shown.
Installation Hydronic Coil Installation Reference Figure 10, p. 22 and follow the procedure below to install the hydronic coil. 1. Remove the front grill, filters, two upper frame screws, and two lower frame screws. 2. Install the hydronic coil in the space previously occupied by the grill. 3.
Installation pre-startup requirements Plenum Installation Reference Figure 11, p. 23 and follow the procedure below to install the plenum. 1. Before installing the plenum, ensure the evaporator fan is in the discharge position. If not, see “Fan Discharge Conversion Procedure, ” p. 2.
Installation Startup Pre-Startup Checklist Complete this checklist after installing the unit to verify all recommended installation procedures are complete before unit startup. This does not replace the detailed instructions in the appropriate sections of this manual. Always read the entire section carefully to become familiar with the procedures.
Installation Unit Startup Procedures WARNING 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. 1.

Maintenance WARNING Hazard of Explosion! Use only dry nitrogen with a pressure regulator for pressurizing unit. Do not use acetylene, oxygen or compressed air or mixtures containing them for pressure testing. Do not use mixtures of a hydrogen containing refrigerant and air above atmospheric pressure for pressure testing as they may become flammable and could result in an explosion.
Maintenance maintenance procedures/periodic checklists CAUTION Compressor Damage! Never manually or automatically pump down below 7 psig. This may cause the compressor to operate in a vacuum and cause compressor damage. Periodic Checklists Monthly Checklist The following checklist provides the recommended maintenance schedule to keep the unit running efficiently.
Unit cutout on high pressure control, set at Verify the airflow is uninterrupted. Also, verify that the low 395 psig for SCIH or 609 psig for SCIJ ambient damper is set properly, allowing condensing temperatures of 90–135°F. Reset high pressure switch to start.
