Installation
Receiving the Equipment
The RCU system has been tested and inspected prior to
shipment. To ensure the equipment is received in factory
condition, visually inspect the equipment immediately
upon delivery. Carefully remove the shipping container
and all protective packaging. Open the access doors and
thoroughly inspect the unit interior for any signs of transit-
incurred damage. If there is shipping damage, it must be
noted on the freight carrier’s delivery forms before signing
for the equipment. Trane ships all equipment FOB factory
and is not liable for any equipment damage while in
transit. Freight claims must be made through the freight
carrier; however, Trane can assist in the claim filing
process with the freight carrier. Should any such damage
be present, notify Trane Product Support prior to
attempting any repairs. Refer to
of this manual for instructions.
Check the equipment against the packing slip to verify the
shipment is complete. Report all discrepancies to Trane.
A Data Package was sent with the unit. It contains this
manual, system drawings, applicable Safety Data Sheets
(SCS) and other applicable instructions based on the
configuration and options of the unit. The data package
has been placed in a clear plastic envelope. These
documents need to be kept with the unit for future
reference.
Site Preparation
RCU systems are designed with easy service access in
mind. Install the RCU in a secure location where the unit
cannot be tampered with and the main power disconnect
switch cannot be inadvertently turned off. Allow access to
the unit for routine operation, servicing and for necessary
maintenance. Refer to the installation drawing provided
with the unit for the dimensions of the RCU.
Notes:
•
Working clearance requirements need to be
established prior to the mounting of the unit. Refer to
local and national electrical codes.
•
Equipment must be level to operate properly.
Rigging
WARNING
Improper Unit Lift!
Failure to properly lift unit in a LEVEL position could
result in unit dropping and possibly crushing operator/
technician which could result in death or serious injury,
and equipment or property-only damage. Test lift unit
approximately 24 inches (61 cm) to verify proper center
of gravity lift point. To avoid dropping of unit,
reposition lifting point if unit is not level.
WARNING
Heavy Object!
Failure to follow instructions below could result in unit
dropping which could result in death or serious injury,
and equipment or property-only damage. Ensure that
all the lifting equipment used is properly rated for the
weight of the unit being lifted. Each of the cables
(chains or slings), hooks, and shackles used to lift the
unit must be capable of supporting the entire weight of
the unit. Lifting cables (chains or slings) may not be of
the same length. Adjust as necessary for even unit lift.
The RCU system is designed to be kept level in a vertical
position. Move the unit with a suitable device such as a
forklift or attach an overhead lifting sling, supporting the
unit from the mounting base. Use an appropriate capacity
lifting device that can safely handle the weight of the
equipment. Weight tables are provided on the installation
drawing provided in the unit Data Package. If using an
overhead lifting device, utilize lifting bars that exceed the
cabinet width in order to avoid crushing the sides of the
unit. Remote Condensing Units are shipped on a skid to
facilitate moving prior to installation. Units should always
be stored in a dry location prior to installation.
Mounting/Placement
Mounting/Placing the RCU-O
The RCU-O is designed for mounting to a flat surface.
Install the RCU-O in a secure location with adequate space
for accessing components for installation, maintenance
and repair procedures. The refrigeration components are
accessed through the top by removing the lid, and from
the back by removing the rear air discharge panel. The
electric box is accessed from the side of the unit. Locate
the unit where the fan is not likely to draw dirt and debris
into the coil fins.
