Overview

This document is an installer's guide for a Trane Split System Heat Pump, available in 3-phase, 230V and 3-phase, 460V models. The guide provides essential information for the safe and proper installation, start-up, and servicing of these outdoor condensing units.

Function Description:

The Trane Split System Heat Pump is designed to provide comfortable, energy-efficient indoor environments for residential applications. It functions as part of a split system, requiring an indoor evaporator coil and refrigerant lines to operate. The guide emphasizes the importance of installing Trane-approved matched indoor and outdoor systems to achieve maximum efficiency, optimum performance, and best overall reliability.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Models Covered:
    • 208-230V: 4TWA4036A3000A, 4TWA4042A3000A, 4TWA4048A3000A, 4TWA4060A3000A
    • 460V: 4TWA4036A4000A, 4TWA4042A4000A, 4TWA4048A4000A, 4TWA4060A4000A
  • Refrigerant: R-410A, which operates at 50-70% higher pressures than R-22. It uses POE oil.
  • Refrigerant Line Length: Maximum total length of refrigerant lines from outdoor to indoor unit should not exceed 150 feet (including lift).
  • Vertical Change (Lift): Maximum vertical change should not exceed 50 feet.
  • Electrical:
    • Low Voltage Wiring:
      • 18 AWG: Max. 150 Ft.
      • 16 AWG: Max. 225 Ft.
      • 14 AWG: Max. 300 Ft.
    • High Voltage: Power supply must match equipment nameplate.
  • Defrost Control: Selectable termination temperature (47°F as shipped, 70°F with Jumper J2 cut).
  • Charging Method: Subcooling in cooling mode is the only recommended method for charging between 55°F and 120°F ambient outdoor temperature. Indoor temperature should be kept between 70°F and 80°F for best results.
  • Indoor Blower Configuration: Variable speed outdoor units require the indoor unit to be configured for 400 CFM/TON.

Usage Features:

  • Installation Considerations:
    • Location:
      • Top discharge area unrestricted for at least 5 feet above the unit.
      • At least 3 feet clearance in front of control box and any service-requiring side.
      • Avoid locations near bedrooms, windows, or areas where condensation/defrost vapor may annoy.
      • Minimum 12 inches from walls or shrubbery for adequate airflow.
      • Far enough from structures to prevent roof runoff or icicles from falling on the unit.
    • Cold Climate (Heat Pump Only):
      • Elevate unit 3-12 inches above pad/rooftop to allow snow/ice drainage.
      • Ensure drain holes in base pan are not obstructed.
      • Avoid snow drift locations; install a snow drift barrier if necessary.
    • Coastal Considerations: For installations within one mile of salt water, the BAYSEAC001 (Seacoast Kit) is required for models without factory-supplied Seacoast Salt Shields.
    • Pad Installation: Pad should be at least 1 inch larger than the unit on all sides, separate from any structure, level, high enough for drainage, and compliant with codes.
  • Refrigerant Line Routing:
    • Vapor line must always be insulated.
    • Liquid line and vapor line should not be in direct metal-to-metal contact.
    • Insulating the liquid line in attic spaces may improve performance.
    • Comply with national, state, and local codes for isolating line sets.
    • Use isolation type hangers when fastening lines to joists/framing.
    • Isolate lines from all ductwork.
    • Minimize 90° turns.
  • System Start-Up:
    • Set thermostat to OFF.
    • Turn on electrical power disconnects for indoor and outdoor units.
    • Wait one (1) hour before starting if compressor crankcase heater accessory is used and outdoor ambient is below 70°F.
    • Set thermostat to ON after the waiting period.

Maintenance Features:

  • Safety Precautions:
    • Hazardous Voltage: Disconnect all electric power and follow lockout/tagout procedures before servicing.
    • Refrigerant Oil (R-410A/POE): Use only R-410A approved service equipment. Never break a vacuum with air. Change driers when opening the system for component replacement. Replace compressor oil if the system has been open to the atmosphere for more than 4 hours.
    • Hot Surface: Do not touch the top of the compressor.
    • Contains Refrigerant: Recover refrigerant to relieve pressure before opening the system.
    • Grounding Required: Reconnect all grounding devices after service.
    • Service Valves: Exercise extreme caution when opening suction and liquid line service valves. Turn valve stem counterclockwise only until it contacts the rolled edge; no torque is required.
    • Brazing: Ensure all joints are brazed, not soldered, especially if reusing existing refrigerant lines. Perform a leak test.
    • High Leakage Current: Earth connection is essential before connecting electrical supply.
  • Refrigerant Line Brazing:
    • Debur pipe ends and clean internal/external surfaces.
    • Remove pressure tap cap and valve core from service valves.
    • Purge lines and indoor coil with dry nitrogen.
    • Wrap a wet rag around the valve body to prevent heat damage during brazing.
    • Check liquid line filter drier for correct directional flow (away from outdoor unit, toward evaporator coil).
    • Continue dry nitrogen purge until brazing is complete.
    • Remove wet rag before stopping purge.
    • Replace valve cores after valves have cooled.
  • Refrigerant Line Leak Check:
    • Pressurize lines and evaporator coil to 150 PSIG with dry nitrogen.
    • Check for leaks with soapy solution at brazed locations.
    • Remove nitrogen pressure and repair any leaks.
  • Refrigerant Line and Indoor Coil Evacuation:
    • Evacuate until micron gauge reads no higher than 350 microns.
    • Close valve to vacuum pump.
    • Evacuation is complete if micron gauge does not rise above 500 microns in one minute.
    • Blank off vacuum pump and micron gauge, close manifold gauge set valves.
  • Charging the Unit:
    • Connect gauges to refrigerant bottle and unit.
    • Purge all hoses.
    • Open bottle.
    • Add refrigerant until liquid line temperature and liquid gage pressure match the charging chart.
    • Recover refrigerant if liquid gage pressure is higher than the chart value.
    • Wait 20 minutes for the system to stabilize between adjustments.
    • Remove gauges.
    • Replace service port caps and tighten finger tight plus an additional 1/6 turn.
  • Defrost Control Checkout:
    • Status LED should flash 1 time/second in standby or 2 times/second with call for heating/cooling.
    • Verify 24V AC between R&B.
    • Verify 24V AC between Y, YO, & B with unit operating.
    • Defrost initiates when FRC_DFT pin is shorted to TEST_COMMON pin.
