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  
or the unit Service Facts.

E. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
!
WARNING  
When installing or servicing this equipment, ALWAYS  
exercise basic safety precautions to avoid the possibility  
of electric shock.  
1. Power wiring and grounding of equipment must comply  
with local codes.  
2. Power supply must agree with equipment nameplate.  
3. Install a separate disconnect switch at the outdoor unit.  
4. Ground the outdoor unit per local code requirements.  
DEFROST CONTROL CHECKOUT  
5. Provide flexible electrical conduit whenever vibration  
transmission may create a noise problem within the  
structure.  
6. The use of color coded low voltage wire is recommended to  
simplify connections between the outdoor unit, the  
thermostat and the indoor unit.  
Normal operation requires:  
a. LED on board flashing 1 time/second.  
b. 24V AC between R & B.  
c. 24V AC between Y & B with unit operating.  
d. Defrost initiation when FRC_DFT pin is shorted to  
TEST_COMMON pin.

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.

SUBCOOLING CHARGING IN COOLING ABOVE 55°F OD AMBIENT  
The Trane company has always recommended installing  
remove refrigerant to lower the pressure. Again, wait  
Trane approved matched indoor and outdoor systems.  
twenty (20) minutes for the system conditions to stabilize  
before adjusting charge again.  
All Trane split systems are ARI rated with only TXV indoor  
systems.  
The benefits of installing approved indoor and outdoor split  
systems are maximum efficiency, optimum performance and  
the best overall system reliability.  
8. When system is correctly charged, you can refer to  
System Pressure Curves (in Service Facts) to verify  
typical performance.
