General information

4RAU-SVX01G-GB
Refrigerant
The refrigerant provided by the manufacturer meets all the requirements of our units. When using recycled or
reprocessed refrigerant, it is advisable to ensure its quality is equivalent to that of a new refrigerant. For this,
it is necessary to have a precise analysis made by a specialized laboratory. If this condition is not respected,
the manufacturer warranty could be cancelled.
Environmental Protection / Compliance with F-Gas regulation
This equipment contains a fluorinated gas covered by the Kyoto Protocol [or an ozone depleting substance
covered by Montreal Protocol].The type and quantity of refrigerant per circuit is indicated on the product nameplate.
The Global Warming Potential of the refrigerant implemented inTrane Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Equipment
is presented in the table by type of refrigerant.
Refrigerant type GWP (1) value
R134a 1 300
R407C 1 653
The operator (contractor or end user) must check local environmental regulations impacting installation, operation
and disposal of the equipment; in particular need to recover environmentally harmful substances (refrigerant, oil,
antifreeze agents, etc.) Do not vent into the atmosphere any refrigerant. The handling of refrigerant shall be fulfilled
by a qualified service engineer.
(1) GWP = global warming potential
Maintenance contract
It is strongly recommended that you sign a maintenance contract with your local Service Agency. This contract
provides regular maintenance of your installation by a specialist in our equipment. Regular maintenance ensures
that any malfunction is detected and corrected in good time and minimizes the possibility that serious damage
will occur. Finally, regular maintenance ensures the maximum operating life of your equipment. We would remind
you that failure to respect these installation and maintenance instructions may result in immediate cancellation of
the warranty.
Training
To assist you in obtaining the best use of it and maintaining it in perfect operating condition over a long period of
time, the manufacturer has at your disposal a refrigeration and air conditioning service school.The principal aim of
this is to give operators and technicians a better knowledge of the equipment they are using, or that is under their
charge. Emphasis is particularly given to the importance of periodic checks on the unit operating parameters as well
as on preventive maintenance, which reduces the cost of owning the unit by avoiding serious and costly breakdown.

Installation
For minimum clearance, consult the certified submittals, which are available on request from yourTrane Sales Office.
Unit nameplate
The unit nameplate gives the complete model reference numbers.The unit power rating is shown, and power
supplies should not deviate by more than 5 % from the rated power.
Compressor motor amperage is shown in box I.MAX.
The customer’s electrical installation must be able to withstand this current.
Installation instructions
Foundations
No special foundations are required, provided the supporting surface is flat and level, and can withstand the weight
or the unit.
Anti-vibration rubber pads
They are supplied as standard with the machine, and should be placed between the supporting floor and the unit to
attenuate vibrations.
– 4 pads for the sizes 190 to 300
– 6 pads for the sizes 350 to 800
– Trane does not allow the installation of spring isolators.
Clearance
Respect recommended clearance around the unit to allow maintenance operation to take place without obstruction
and recommended clearance around condenser.
CAUTION! Unit operation depends on the air temperature. Any recycling of the air fed out by the fans will increase
the air intake temperature over the condenser fins and can result in high pressure cut-out.
In this case the standard operating conditions are modified.
Operation of the unit may be affected by an increase in air temperature on the condenser.
When the units are positioned in a windy area, avoid all the risks of air-cooled recycling.

Calculating and fixing the capacity of refrigerant lines is necessary to assure the oil return to the compressor, avoid
refrigerant phase changes and limit pressure drop.
Liquid lines
Calculate capacity of liquid line, as per the following criteria.
1. Maximum load operating conditions.
2. To avoid any evaporation risk:
– Consider the vertical risers
– Maximum pressure drop must not exceed 1 to 2°C
3. Liquid circulation speed in a 0.5 to 2m/s range.
Discharge lines
Discharge lines should be calculated to obtain the gas displacement speed in horizontal and vertical lines required to
drive compressor oil. Determine diameter of discharge lines as per the following criteria.
1. Speed above 2.5 m/s horizontally. (Consider minimum speed at minimum load).
2. Speed above 5.0 m/s vertically (Vertical risers, consider speed at minimum load).
3. Maximum speed 20 m/s.
4. Horizontal pipe run must be pitched of 1cm/m in the same direction as the refrigerant circulation.
5. An oil trap is necessary for vertical risers greater than 3m. For major elevations add an intermediate oil trap
every 5m.
6. Maximum pressure drop between 20 to 50 kPa.
7. Install a filter drier adapted to refrigerant capacity.

Installation
Insulation of refrigerant lines
Insulate refrigerant lines from building itself to avoid transmission to building structure of vibrations normally
caused by pipework.
Also avoid bypassing the unit’s damping system by fixing the refrigerant lines or the electrical ducts very rigidly.
Vibrations may propagate into building structure through rigidly fixed refrigerant lines.
Pressure tests. Leak detection
During operations, take the following precaution:
1. Neither oxygen nor acethylene should be used instead of refrigerant and nitrogen to detect leaks, otherwise a
violent explosion may occur.
2. Always use valves and manometers to check the test pressure in system. Excessive pressure may either cause
pipes to rupture, damage unit, or cause an explosion, causing possible physical injury.
Carry out liquid line and hot gas line pressure tests in accordance with current standards.
The test pressures applied to the liquid line and the hot gas suction line must comply with the country’s standards.
Caution: Do not go more than 0.7 bar above the high pressure switch setpoint.
Introduce enough refrigerant into circuit in order to obtain a pressure of 85 to 100 kPa. Search for possible leaks
using detector.This operation should be carried out with great care throughout the system.
If leaks are detected, pump down the refrigerant, and repair defective component. Repeat test process, to check that
the repair can withstand rated pressure.
Refrigerant charge (all split system types)
Units ship with a nitrogen holding charge and isolating valves.
After system pressure and vacuum testing, fill up unit with refrigerant.The refrigerant complement will be charged
according to the diameter and the length of the refrigerant piping work up to obtain the correct superheat and
subcooling temperatures.
Oil charge
The oil quantity necessary for the split system has also to be adjusted according to the diameter and the length of
the refrigerant piping work.
Important note: These operations have to be performed by a specialist according to the rules of the art.The results
have to be written on a start up record by theTrane engineer or the client’s specialist who has performed this start
up.The quantity of refrigerant and oil added are at the client’s charges.

Installation
Electrical connections
CAUTION!
1. The greatest care should be taken when cutting through passages and installing electric wiring. Under no
circumstances should chips of metal or cuttings of copper or isolating material fall into the starter panel or
electric components. Relays, contactors, terminals and control wiring should be covered and protected before
power supplies are connected.
2. Install power supply cabling as shown in wiring diagram. Adequate cable gland should be chosen, ensuring no
foreign bodies enter the electrical housing or components.
3. Cabling must comply with standards in force.The type and location of fuses must also comply with standards.
As a safety measure, fuses should be visibly installed, close to the unit.
4. Only copper wiring should be used. Using aluminium wires can produce galvanic corrosion and possibly lead to
superheat and failure of connection points.
As standard,Trane provides the single power supply which includes the transformer. Warranty reserves will be
formulated if a transformer, not supplied byTrane, is installed inside the electric panel.
Temperature sensor
Two temperature sensors are provided, in the control panel of the unit.They have to be fitted on site in order to
measure the air inlet and outlet temperature downstream to the DX coil (evaporator). Refer to supplied wiring
diagram for connection of sensors.
To place the sensor into the airflow, the technician will have to cut the cable between the electronic case and the
sensing element, and then reconnect both elements with a twisted pair cable with a maximum distance of 300m.
Hot gas-bypass control (option)
The hot gas bypass option only provides a relay contact needed to initiate hot gas bypass on the evaporator.
All the refrigerant piping modifications are not done in the factory and have to be done on the jobsite. An additional
refrigerant line and solenoid valve must be added on site (not provided) between the discharge line and the suction
line on Circuit 1. When the solenoid valve is activated, refrigerant vapor will flow from the discharge line to the
suction line.This refrigerant vapor satisfies the compressor mass flow requirement, but because no phase change
has occurred, this flow does not contribute to unit capacity.The amount of capacity shed by the hot gas bypass line
depends upon the size of the line (restriction) and the pressure difference between the discharge line and the suction
line. Closing the solenoid valve in the hot gas bypass line deactivates hot gas bypass.
