NOTICE:
Trane has always recommended installing Trane approved
matched indoor and outdoor systems.
The benefits of installing approved matched systems are
maximum efficiency, optimum performance and best
overall system reliability.
!
WARNING
These units use R-410A refrigerant which operates at 50 to
70% higher pressures than R-22. Use only R-410A approved
service equipment. Refrigerant cylinders are painted a
“Rose” color to indicate the type of refrigerant and may
contain a “dip” tube to allow for charging of liquid refriger-
ant into the system. All R-410A systems use a POE oil that
readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. To limit this
“hygroscopic” action, the system should remain sealed
whenever possible. If a system has been open to the
atmosphere for more than 4 hours, the compressor oil
must be replaced. Never break a vacuum with air and always
change the driers when opening the system for component
replacement. For specific handling concerns with R-410A
and POE oil, reference Retrofit Bulletin TRN-APG02-EN.
The Weathertron® Heat Pump has been designed and manu-
factured to withstand and operate in severe winter condi-
tions. However, there are precautionary steps which should
be taken at the time of installation which will help assure
the efficient operation of the unit. It is recommended that
these precautions be taken for units being installed in
areas where snow accumulation and prolonged below
freezing temperatures occur.
1. Units should be elevated 3 to 12 inches above the pad or
rooftop, depending on local weather. This additional
height will allow better drainage of snow and ice (melted
during defrost cycle) prior to its refreezing. This should
prevent a build-up of ice around the unit which occurs
when unit is not elevated. Insure that drain holes in
unit base pan are not obstructed preventing
draining of defrost water.
Check for transportation damage after unit is uncrated.
Report promptly, to the carrier, any damage found to the unit.
To determine the electrical power requirements of the unit,
refer to the nameplate of the unit. The electrical power
available must agree with that listed on the nameplate.
2. If possible, avoid locations that are likely to accumulate
snow drifts. If not possible, a snow drift barrier should be
installed around the unit to prevent a build-up of snow on

LEAK CHECK
IMPORTANT:
PRESSURE TAP PORT
GAS LINE CONNECTION
Replace pressure tap port valve core before attaching hoses for
evacuation.
After the brazing operation of refrigerant lines to both the
outdoor and indoor units is completed, the field brazed
connections must be checked for leaks. Pressurize through
the service valve ports, the indoor unit and field refrigerant
lines with dry nitrogen to 350-400 psi. Use soap bubbles or
other leak-checking methods to see that all field joints are
leak-free! If not, release pressure; then repair!
GAS LINE SERVICE VALVE
SYSTEM EVACUATION
NOTE:
Since the outdoor unit has a refrigerant charge, the gas and
liquid line valves must remain closed.
1. Upon completion of leak check, evacuate the refrigerant
lines and indoor coil before opening the gas and liquid
line valves.
2. Attach appropriate hoses from manifold gauge to gas and
liquid line pressure taps.
pressure tap service port (when depressed) opens only to the
field brazing side of the valve when the valve is in the seated
position. The liquid line valve is not a back seating valve (see
WARNING below).
NOTE:
Unnecessary switching of hoses can be avoided and com-
plete evacuation of all lines leading to sealed system can be
accomplished with manifold center hose and connecting
branch hose to a cylinder of R-410A and vacuum pump.
!
WARNING
Extreme caution should be exercised when opening the
Liquid Line Service Valve. Turn valve stem counterclock-
wise only until the stem contacts the rolled edge. (See
Figure 4.) No torque is required.
3. Attach center hose of manifold gauges to vacuum pump.
4. Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than
350 microns.
BRASS GAS LINE SERVICE VALVE
5. Close off valve to vacuum pump and observe the micron
gauge. If gauge pressure rises above 500 microns in
one (1) minute, then evacuation is incomplete or system
has a leak.
6. If vacuum gauge does not rise above 500 microns in
one (1) minute, the evacuation should be complete.
The Brass Gas Line Service Valve is shipped in the closed
position to hold the factory refrigerant charge. The pressure
tap service port (when depressed) opens only to the field
brazing side when the valve is in the closed position.
The Gas Line Service Valve is full open with a 1/4 turn. See
Figure 4.
7. Blank off vacuum pump and micron gauge, close valves
on manifold gauge set.
BRAZING REFRIGERANT LINES
1. Remove lower access cover to access service valves.
2. Before brazing, remove plugs from external copper stub
tubes. Clean internal and external surfaces of stub tubes
prior to brazing.
NOTE:
DO NOT VENT REFRIGERANT INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
NOTE:
A 3/16" Allen wrench is required to open liquid line service
valve. A 1/4" Open End or Adjustable wrench is required to
open gas line valve. A 3/4" Open End wrench is required to
take off the valve stem cap.
3. Cut and fit tubing, minimizing the use of sharp 90° bends.
4. Insulate the entire gas line and its fittings.
5. Do NOT allow uninsulated liquid line to come in direct
contact with bare gas line.
8. The liquid line shut-off valve can now be opened. Remove
shut-off valve cap. Fully insert hex wrench into the stem
and backout counterclockwise until valve stem just
touches rolled edge (approximately five [5] turns) observ-
ing WARNING statement on page 3. See Figure 3.
6. Precautions should be taken to avoid heat dam-
age to the pressure tap valve core during braz-
ing. It is recommended that the pressure tap port
valve core be removed and a wet rag wrapped
around the valve body.
9. Replace liquid service pressure tap port cap and valve
stem cap. These caps MUST BE REPLACED to prevent
leaks. Replace valve stem and pressure tap cap finger
tight, then tighten an additional 1/6 turn.
NOTICE:
Use care to make sure that no moisture enters pressure tap
port, while wet rag is being used.

10. The gas valve can now be opened. For a ball type gas
valve, open the gas valve by removing the shut-off valve
cap and turning the valve stem 1/4 turn counterclock-
wise, using 1/4" Open End or Adjustable wrench. See
Figure 4. For brass gas line service valve opening, follow
8 and 9 on page 3. See Figure 5.
In normal operation, the defrost control light will flash once
each second. If the light is flashing more than once per
second or not at all, refer to the service manual for that unit.
PIN IDENTIFICATION (See Figure 6.)
1. TEST_COMMON (Shorting any of the other pins to this
pin causes the function of the other pin to be executed.
Leaving this pin open results in the normal mode of
operation.)
2. TST = Test (Shorting TEST_COMMON to this pin
speeds up all defrost board timings.)
11. The gas valve is now open for refrigerant flow. Replace
valve stem cap to prevent leaks. Again, these caps MUST
BE REPLACED to prevent leaks. Replace valve stem
and pressure tap cap finger tight, then tighten an
additional 1/6 turn. See Figure 3.
3. FRC_DFT = Forced Defrost (Short TEST_COMMON to
this pin for two [2] seconds to initiate a forced defrost.
Remove the short after defrost initiates.)
If refrigerant lines are longer than 15 feet and/or a different
size than recommended, it will be necessary to adjust system
refrigerant charge upon completion of installation. See page 6

G. COMPRESSOR START UP
After all electrical wiring is complete, SET THE THERMO-
STAT SYSTEM SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION SO
COMPRESSOR WILL NOT RUN, and apply power by
closing the system main disconnect switch. This will activate
the compressor sump heat (where used). Do not change the
Thermostat System Switch until power has been applied for
one (1) hour. Following this procedure will prevent potential
compressor overload trip at the initial start-up.
7. Table 1 defines maximum total length of low voltage
wiring from outdoor unit, to indoor unit, and to
thermostat.
8. Mount the indoor thermostat in accordance with instruc-
tion included with the thermostat. Wire per appropriate
hook-up diagram (included in these instructions).
F. DEFROST CONTROL
The demand defrost control measures heat pump outdoor
ambient temperature with a sensor located outside the
outdoor coil. A second sensor located on the outdoor coil is
used to measure the coil temperature. The difference
between the ambient and the colder coil temperature is the
difference or delta-T measurement. This delta-T measure-
ment is representative of the operating state and relative
capacity of the heat pump system. By measuring the change
in delta-T, we can determine the need for defrost. The coil
sensor also serves to sense outdoor coil temperature for
termination of the defrost cycle.
H. OPERATIONAL AND
CHECKOUT PROCEDURES
Final phases of this installation are the unit Operational and
Checkout Procedures which are found in this instruction on
page 8. To obtain proper performance, all units must be
operated and charge adjustments made in accordance with
procedures found in the Service Facts and on page 6.
IMPORTANT:
Perform a final unit inspection to be sure that factory tubing has
not shifted during shipment. Adjust tubing if necessary so tubes
do not rub against each other when the unit runs. Also be sure
that wiring connections are tight and wire routing is secure.
FAULT IDENTIFICATION
A fault condition is indicated by the flashing light on the
defrost control inside the heat pump control box.
