Introduction
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing this
unit.
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:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
s
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.
NOTICE
Indicates a situation that could result in
equipment or property-damage only
accidents.
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Required!
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 Safety Data Sheets
(SDS) and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.
•
When working with or around hazardous chemicals,
ALWAYS refer to the appropriate SDS and OSHA/GHS
(Global Harmonized System of Classification and
Labeling 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.
