Trane BACnet MS/TP Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual page 2

Introduction
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required. Your personal safety and the proper
operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance of these precautions.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth's naturally occurring
stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified
chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon
(CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants
containing these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment. Trane advocates the
responsible handling of all refrigerants-including industry replacements for CFCs and HCFCs such as
saturated or unsaturated HFCs and HCFCs.
Important 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 according to local
rules. For the USA, 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. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also
be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury. All field wiring MUST be
performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE
and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for
field wiring installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/state/national
electrical codes.
