Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required. Your personal safety and the proper operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance of these precautions.

The three types of advisories are defined as follows:

WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. It could also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

CAUTION
Indicates a situation that could result in equipment or property-damage only accidents.

Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment. Trane advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants.

Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified according to local rules. For the USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.

6. Apply the wiring diagram (supplied in kit) to the top part of the enclosure box door, as shown in image Figure 13, p. 13.

Controller Settings
Jumper Position for TTA Models (Cooling Only)
For non-heat pump applications, the heat pump select jumper must be in the Default (N.O.) position, and the HP terminals must be left unconnected. See Figure 14, p. 13.

Jumper Position for TWA Models (Heat Pump)
For heat pump applications, the heat pump select jumper must be in the (N.C.) position, see Figure 15, p. 13. The heat pump terminals accept the 24 VAC signal from the switch over valve holding coil.
Important: Do not apply a voltage higher than 30 VAC to the HP terminals.

Operation

The low ambient controller is used to maintain head pressure within an acceptable range when ambient temperature falls below 50°F. It reads discharge pressure from refrigeration circuit and cycles the outdoor fan motor on and off to maintain the desired discharge pressure at the selected setpoint anytime the compressor is operating.

Set Pressure Setpoint
The pressure setpoint should be adjusted to 250 psig for R-410A refrigerant and 230 psig for R-454B refrigerant. When the ambient temperature is above 50°F (10°C), the outdoor fan motor will be energized continuously. When the ambient temperature is below 50°F, the pressure sensor reading is used to switch the motor on or off. When the pressure is 15psi below the set pressure the motor will be turned off. When the pressure is 15psi above the set pressure, the motor will be turned on.
After completion of installation and pressure setting adjustment), reinstall the compressor and control box access panels and secure with screws that were removed.
Reconnect all power to the unit. Refer to troubleshooting guide, if needed.
