Start-Up
Pre-Startup Checklist
Once the air handler has been assembled and installed,
attention must be directed to individual components for
proper operation. Before operating the unit, complete the
pre-startup checklist.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
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 an appropriate voltmeter that all
capacitors have discharged. Failure to disconnect
power and discharge capacitors before servicing could
result in death or serious injury.
For additional information regarding the safe discharge
of capacitors,
see PROD-SVB06A-EN
General Checks
• Ensure the unit has been installed level.
• Ensure supply-air and return-air
ducts have been
connected.
• Ensure damper operator motors and connecting
linkage have been insta
lled.
• Verify damper operation and linkage alignment.
• Check that air filters are in
place and position
ed
properly.
• Remove any debris from the unit interior.
• Remove all foreign material from
the drain pan and
check drain pan opening and condensate line for
obstructions.
• Close and secure all unit access doors.
• If differential pressure switch is provided on filter rack,
adjust per
system requir
ements.
• Inspect electrical connection
s to
the unit and unit
controllers.
– Connections should be clean and secure.
– Com
pare the actual wiring with the unit diagrams.
– Re
ference the appropriate controller manual for
more details about starting units with
factory-
mounted controls.
• Check piping and valves for leaks. Open or close the
valves to check for proper operat
ion. Drain lines should
be open.
• Leave this manual with the unit.
Fan-Related Checks
• If the unit is not externally isolated, ensure that the fan
isolator tie-down bolts have been removed. See “Fan
Isolation,” p. 36 for more information.
• Rotate all fan wheels manually to confirm
they turn
freely in
the proper direction.
• Inspect fan motor and bearings for proper lubrication.
Coil-Related Checks
:
NOTICE
Proper Water Treatment!
The use of untreated or improperly treated water in
coils could result in scaling, erosion, corrosion, algae or
slime. It is recommended that the services of a qualified
water treatment specialist be engaged to determine
what water treatment, if any, is required. Trane
assumes no responsibility for equipment failures which
result from untreated or improperly treated water, or
saline or brackish water.
• Ensure coil and condensate drain piping connections
are complete.
• Check the piping and valves for leaks.
– Open or close the valves to check operation.
– The drain lines should be open.
• If unit has a refrigerant coil, ensure that it has be
en
charged and leak-tested according to the instructions
provided with the condenser equipment. Adjust the
superheat setting.
• Remove all foreign material from the drain pan and
ch
eck the pa
n opening and condensate line for
obstructions.
• For steam coils, slowly turn the steam on full for at least
10 mi
nutes before opening the fresh air in
take on units
with fresh air dampers.
