ignite the indoor fan starts and circulates warm air through
the conditioned space.
When the air temperature rises to the thermostat setting
the thermostat deenergizes the heating electrical circuit,
which in turn extinguishes the burners. The indoor fan
continues to circulate warm air until most of the heat is
removed from the unit's combustion chamber.
Safety Controls
•
The unit is equipped with an automatic reset safety limit
control to prevent overheating. When the control
opens, it shuts down the heating electrical circuit until
the unit cools down sufficiently. Inadequate airflow (i.e.,
caused by dirty filters or defective fan motor) may
cause the unit to cycle on and off as the limit trips and
automatically resets. If you suspect the unit is cycling
on its limit control, immediately contact a service
person for instructions
•
If flames from the burner are not properly drawn into
the heat exchanger, a flame rollout protection control
will open causing the furnace to shut off. The cause
must be investigated by a qualified service person.
•
If installed, the condensate overflow switch will shut
down the unit before a drain pan overflow occurs.
Heating System Start-Up
Because your unit has an automatic ignition system, it is
easy to start the heating cycle at the beginning of the
heating season. In order for the unit to operate properly
and safely, the furnace needs air for both combustion and
ventilation. Check to make sure that all air openings are
unobstructed and there is adequate clearance around the
unit to provide good air flow.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Failure to disconnect power and discharge capacitors
before servicing could result in death or serious
injury.
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects and discharge all motor start/run
capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be
inadvertently energized. For variable frequency drives
or other energy storing components provided by
Trane or others, refer to the appropriate
manufacturer’s literature for allowable waiting periods
for discharge of capacitors. Verify with a CAT III or IV
voltmeter rated per NFPA 70E that all capacitors have
discharged.
