Trane CLCP Euro 25, Installation Operation & Maintenance

Page: 2 / 58

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
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.
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.
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing this
unit.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury. It
could also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
Indicates a situation that could result in
equipment or property-damage only
accidents.

Important Responsible Refrigerant
Practices
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
electrical codes.
Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken
could result in death or serious injury. Technicians, in order
to protect themselves from potential electrical, mechanical,
and chemical hazards, MUST follow precautions in this
manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels, as well as the
instructions below:
• Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST
put on all PPE required for the work being undertaken
(Examples; cut resistant gloves/sleeves, butyl gloves,
safety glasses, hard hat/bump cap, fall protection, electrical
PPE and arc flash clothing). ALWAYS refer to appropriate
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)/Safety Data Sheets
(SDS) and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.
• When working with or around hazardous chemicals,
ALWAYS refer to the appropriate MSDS/SDS and
OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification
and Labelling of Chemicals) guidelines for information on
allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory
protection and handling instructions.
• If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or
flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE in accordance with
OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific requirements
for arc flash protection, PRIOR to servicing the unit. NEVER
PERFORM ANY SWITCHING, DISCONNECTING, OR
VOLTAGE TESTING WITHOUT PROPER ELECTRICAL
PPE AND ARC FLASH CLOTHING. ENSURE
ELECTRICAL METERS AND EQUIPMENT ARE
PROPERLY RATED FOR INTENDED VOLTAGE.
