Trane Fan-coil FCLB

Keep coils clean to maintain maximum performance.

WARNING: Hazardous Chemicals! Coil cleaning agents can be either acidic or highly alkaline. Handle chemical carefully. Proper handling should include goggles or face shield, chemical resistant gloves, boots, apron or suit as required.

Remove large debris from the coils and straighten fins before cleaning.

Remove filters before cleaning.

Clean the coil fins using steam with detergent, hot water spray and detergent, or a commercially available chemical coil cleaner.

Rinse coils thoroughly after cleaning.

Steam and Hydronic Coil Cleaning Procedure

Disconnect all electrical power to the unit.

Change or clean air filters at least twice a year. Filters require more frequent care under high load or dirty air conditions since a clogged filter reduces airflow.

Throwaway and pleated media filters are available for all units.

All models except vertical cabinets

Remove the front panel of the vertical recessed unit and open the bottom panel door of the horizontal cabinet and horizontal recessed unit to access the filter. The front panel of the vertical cabinet unit does not require removal to change the filter.

Note: Vertical recessed, horizontal cabinet, & horizontal recessed units with a bottom return have filter guides to secure the filter in position. Also, if these unit types have a fresh air opening, they require an additional filter for the fresh air opening.

Replace all panels and filters properly!

All unit panels and filters must be in place prior to unit startup. Failure to have panels and filters in place may result in equipment damage.

Inspect the unit cabinetry for chips or corrosion. Clean or repair to provide unit protection.

Inspect the fan wheel and housing for damage. Rotate the fan wheel manually to be sure movement is not blocked by obstructions.

Inspect the coil fins for excessive dirt or damage. Remove dirt and straighten fins.

Clean and tighten all electrical connections.

Inspect the strainer option for debris trapped in the filter screen.

Sign off on the fan-coil maintenance

The following check list provides the recommended maintenance schedule to keep the unit running efficiently.

During installation, testing, servicing, and troubleshooting this equipment, it may be necessary to work with live electrical components. Have a qualified licensed electrician or other individual who is properly trained in handling live electrical components perform these tasks. Failure to follow all electrical components could result in death or serious injury.

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.

The capacitor for all unit motors can be replaced should it fail. Contact the local Trane service department to replace the motor capacitor in the event it fails.

However, the motor itself cannot be repaired or rewound. If the motor fails, record the model number from the unit nameplate and present to the local Trane Service Parts Center to purchase a replacement. The motor bearings are permanently lubricated and do not require any further oiling.
