WARNING
This equipment is to be serviced by professionally
trained personnel ONLY. Under NO circumstances
should an unqualified person service it. This
equipment contains refrigerant under PRESSURE
and operates at HIGH OLTAGE. Improperly installed,
adjusted or altered equipment by an unqualified
person poses safety hazards including FIRE,
ELECTROCUTION, or EXPLOSION, which could
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Electrocution and Fire Hazards with Improperly
Installed and Grounded Field Wiring!
Improperly installed and grounded field wiring
poses FIRE & ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid
these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for
field wiring installation and grounding as described
in the National Electrical Codes (NEC) and your
local/state electrical codes. All field wiring MUST
be performed by qualified personnel.
Failure to follow these requirements could result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
R410A Refrigerant under Higher Pressure than R22!
The units described in this manual use R410A
refrigerant which operates at 50 to 70% higher
pressures than R-22. Use only R-410A approved
service equipment. Refrigerant cylinders are
painted with "pink" color to indicate the type of
refrigerant and may contain a "dip" tube to allow for
charging of liquid refrigerant into the system. For
specific handling concerns with R-410A, please
contact your local Trane representative.
Failure to use R-410A approved service equipment
could result in standard equipment exploding under
R-410A higher pressure which could result in death
or serious injury.
NOTICE
Use PVE Oil with R-410A Mini-Split Units!
All R-410A mini-splits use a PVE oil (Polyvinyl Ether
Oil) that readily absorbs moisture from the
atmosphere. To limit this “hygroscopic” action, the
system should remain sealed whenever possible. If
a system has been open to the atmosphere for more
than 4 hours, the compressor oil must be replaced.
Never break a vacuum with air and always change
the driers when opening the system for component
replacement. For specific handling concerns with
PVE oil, contact your local Trane representative.
USE ONLY THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED - DAFNE
HERMETIC OIL FV50S - for servicing these units.
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
such as HCFCs and HFCs.
Warnings and cautions
MS-SVN055B-EN 3
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. 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.

Evacuation and leak testing
After the installation of refrigerant lines to both the outdoor and indoor units are completed, the flare
connections must be checked for leaks. Pressurize through the service valve ports, the indoor unit
and field refrigerant lines with dry nitrogen to 350-400 psi. Use soap bubbles or other leak checking
methods to see that all flares are leak-free! If not, release pressure; then repair!
System evacuation
Note: Inasmuch as the outdoor unit has a refrigerant charge, the gas and liquid line valves must
remain closed.
1.
Upon completion of leak check, evacuate the refrigerant lines and indoor coil before opening
the gas and liquid line valves.
2.
Attach appropriate hoses from manifold gauge to gas and liquid line pressure taps.
3.
Attach center hose of manifold gauge to vacuum pump.
4.
Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than 350 microns.
5.
Close off valve to vacuum pump and observe the micron gauge. If gauge pressure rises above
500 microns in one (1) minute, then evacuation is incomplete or system has a leak.
6.
If vacuum gauge does not rise above 500 microns in one (1) minute, the evacuation should be
complete.
7.
Blank off vacuum pump and micron gauge, close valves on manifold gauge set.
Note: DO NOT VENT REFRIGERANT INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
8.
The liquid line shut-off valve can now be opened. Remove shut-off-valve cap. Fully insert hex
wrench into the stem and backout counterclockwise open.
WARNING
Danger of Explosion!
Never use an open flame to detect gas leaks. Explosive conditions may occur. Use a leat test
solution or other approved methods for leak testing. Failure to follow recommended safe leak
test procedures could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only damage.
WARNING
Danger of Explosion!
Use only dry nitrogen with a pressure regulator for pressurizing unit. Do not use acetylene,
oxigen or compressed air or mixtures containing these 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. Refrigerant, when
used as a trace gas, should only be mixed with dry nitrogen for pressurizing units. Failure to
follow these recommendations could result in death or serious injury or equipment or
property-only damage.
