Warnings are provided to alert installing contractors to potential hazards that could result in personal injury or death, while cautions are designed to alert personnel to conditions that could result in equipment damage. Your personal safety and the proper operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance of these precautions. Attention: Warnings and Cautions appear at appropriate sections throughout this literature. Read these carefully. WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices. NOTICE: Indicates a situation that could result in equipment or property-damage only accidents. Trane has always recommended installing Trane approved matched indoor and outdoor systems. The benefits of installing approved matched systems are maximum efficiency, optimum performance and best overall system reliability. 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.
