Overview

This document is a Use and Care manual for the Trane XL Series Central Air Conditioning units, specifically models 4TTX3, 4TTX4, 4TTX6, 2TTX4, and 2TTZ9, designed for residential use and less than 20 tons. It provides essential information for owners to understand, operate, and maintain their air conditioning systems for optimal performance and longevity.

Function Description:

The Trane XL Series Central Air Conditioner is designed to cool, filter, and dehumidify a home. It works in conjunction with a matched indoor unit to create a complete system that delivers dependable service and performance. The system circulates air throughout the home, filtering out dust and dirt particles. Simultaneously, it extracts excess moisture from the indoor air, which is particularly beneficial in humid summer months, contributing to a more comfortable indoor environment.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual does not explicitly list detailed technical specifications such as BTU ratings, SEER ratings, or electrical requirements. However, it specifies that the warranty applies to "Models Less Than 20 Tons for Residential Use," indicating the intended application and scale of these units. The document also mentions that the system is designed to work with a "compatible Trane indoor unit and/or Trane thermostat," emphasizing the importance of a matched system for optimal operation and warranty coverage. The model numbers listed (4TTX3, 4TTX4, 4TTX6, 2TTX4, and 2TTZ9) are key identifiers for the specific units covered by this manual and warranty.

Usage Features:

The manual provides guidance on how to operate the system for peak performance.

  • Thermostat Control: The system operates most efficiently when controlled by the thermostat. Manual on/off operation is generally less efficient. Recommended temperature settings are 78°F for cooling and 68°F for heating, though users can adjust these to their comfort level. The key is to minimize subsequent adjustments once the thermostat is set.
  • Electronic Programmable Thermostat: For enhanced energy savings, the use of an electronic programmable thermostat is recommended. These thermostats allow for setting up to four daily setup or setback periods, as well as weekend and vacation programs, optimizing energy use when the home is unoccupied or during different times of the day.
  • Away from Home Operation: When away for a few days or during moderate outdoor temperatures, users are advised to lower the thermostat to 55°F in winter or raise it to 85°F in summer to prevent unnecessary operation.
  • Power Disconnection: If the main power is disconnected for more than three hours, users should turn off the thermostat, wait at least three more hours after power is restored, and then turn the thermostat back on. This procedure helps prevent damage to the system.
  • Humidity Reduction: The air conditioner also helps reduce summer humidity. To further assist, the manual suggests using vents and exhaust fans in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms to prevent moisture accumulation, reducing the workload on the air conditioner.
  • Energy Saving Tips: A dedicated section on "Extra Energy Tips" covers various aspects of home insulation, heating, and cooling to maximize energy efficiency. These include ensuring proper home insulation (R-30 for ceilings, R-11 for exterior walls/floors), sealing air leaks with caulking/weather-stripping, using double glazing and low-e glass for windows, installing storm windows and doors, ensuring tight-fitting fireplace dampers, and using a humidifier in winter. For cooling, tips include adequate attic ventilation, choosing light-colored roof shingles, drawing blinds/drapes, installing awnings, and avoiding placing heat-producing devices near the thermostat.

Maintenance Features:

Proper maintenance is crucial for the maximum efficiency and longevity of the Trane XL Series Central Air Conditioner.

  • Filter Cleaning/Replacement: To ensure top efficiency, the air filter(s) should be cleaned or replaced monthly, especially during seasons of frequent use. Excessive dust and dirt accumulation on the filter can block airflow, forcing the unit to work harder and consume more energy. Users should use the same size and type of filter originally supplied and ensure arrows point in the direction of airflow.
  • Outdoor Unit Clearance: The outdoor unit must be kept clear of debris, leaves, and shrubbery to maintain efficient operation. Anything blocking airflow over the coil causes the compressor to work harder. Users are advised not to plant flowers or shrubbery directly next to the unit and to avoid stacking items against its sides.
  • Exterior Cleaning: The enamel finish of the air conditioner can be cleaned with soap and water. For stubborn grease spots, a household detergent can be used. Lacquer thinner or other synthetic solvents should be avoided as they may damage the finish.
  • Professional Maintenance: A central air conditioner is a self-contained system requiring professional maintenance and repair. Attempts at "do-it-yourself" repairs on an in-warranty unit may void the warranty. Other than simple maintenance tasks like filter changes and keeping the outdoor unit clear, users should not attempt adjustments.
  • Routine Dealer Inspection: The manual strongly recommends regular inspections by a properly trained service technician, preferably twice a year, but at least once a year. This inspection should include:
    • Routine inspection, cleaning, or replacement of air filter(s).
    • Inspection and cleaning of the blower wheel, housing, and motor.
    • Checking and cleaning condensate drains periodically to ensure free flow and prevent water damage.
    • Inspection and, if required, cleaning of indoor and outdoor coils.
    • Inspection of the indoor coil drain pan, primary and secondary drain lines, including cleaning if necessary.
    • Checking all electrical wiring and connections.
    • Checking for secure physical connections of individual components.
    • An operational check of the air conditioning system to determine actual working condition, with necessary repairs/adjustments performed.
  • Service Agreements: Servicing dealers may offer economical service or preventative maintenance agreements that cover seasonal inspections.

Warranty Information:

The product comes with a Limited Warranty from Trane, covering manufacturing defects for internal functional parts for ten years from the date of original purchase. If a compatible Trane indoor unit and/or thermostat is installed simultaneously, their internal functional parts are also covered for ten years. The sealed motor-compressor and outdoor coil are specifically covered for ten years. The warranty does not cover damage from unreasonable use, improper maintenance, or damage while in the owner's possession. It applies to products installed on or after 10/1/2001, manufactured after 1/1/2000. Trane also offers an Optional Extended Warranty that can be purchased from a dealer to cover repairs beyond the limited warranty period.
