Checklist
Jobsite Inspection
Always perform the following checks before accepting a unit:
1. Verify that the nameplate data matches the data on the sales order and bill of
lading (including electrical data).
2. Verify that the power supply complies with the unit nameplate specifications.
3. Visually inspect the exterior of the unit, for signs of shipping damage. Do not
sign the bill of lading accepting the unit(s) until inspection has been completed. Check for damage promptly after the unit(s) are unloaded. Once the
bill of lading is signed at the jobsite, the unit(s) are now the property of the
SOLD TO party and future freight claims MAY NOT be accepted by the freight
company.

Microbial Growth!
Wet interior unit insulation can become an amplification site for
microbial growth (mold), which may cause odors and damage to the
equipment and building materials. If there is evidence of microbial
growth (mold) on the interior insulation, the insulation should be
removed and replaced prior to operating the system.
Jobsite Storage
This unit is intended for indoor use only. To protect the unit from damage due to
the elements, and to prevent possible IAQ contaminant sources from growing.
1. Place the unit(s) on a dry surface or raise above the ground to assure adequate air circulation beneath the unit.
2. Cover the unit(s) with a water proof tarp to protect them from the elements.
3. Make provisions for continuous venting of the covered units to prevent
moisture from standing on the unit(s) surfaces. Wet interior unit insulation
can become an amplification site for microbial growth (mold) which can be a
cause of odors and possible indoor air quality problems.
4. Do not stack units.

bearing replacement.

Factory Shipment
Before shipment, each unit is leak tested, and run tested for proper control
operation.

Sliding Fan Deck
Convenient access to the fan motor
and wheels for maintenance and serviceability may be made through
Trane’s easy-slide fan deck design.

Access
A three panel front access of the unit
ventilator allows for speedy set-up
during field commissioning. This design allows for the end pocket of the
unit ventilator to be open while the fan
(airside) section stays closed.
End Pockets
Access for piping and controls is made
through the unit ventilator’s end pockets.
Coil Connections
The coil headers and drain connections are made within the unit chassis
to allow a tight seal and help prevent
air leakage around the coil. The connection sizes vary dependent upon
type of coil combination specified.

eliminate issues associated to leaking
or standing water. It may be easily removed for cleaning. The drain pan
connection size for all Trane VUVE
models is 7/8" O.D.
Motor
Motors for the VUVE model do not include an external fan bearing on the
end of the fan shaft. This helps avoid
issues related to fan bearing mainteUV-SVN03D-EN

Filters
Filter sizing for the unit ventilator are
an off-the-shelf design to reduce or
help eliminate local stocking of the filters.

Outside/Return-Air Dampers
The outside-air/return-air damper is a
one piece, linkage free design resulting in a superior air-tight seal.
Field Installed Controls
(Option)
The unit comes equipped with a fan
speed switch, damper blade (only),
and an optional low temperature detection.
End Device Control Package
(Option)
Units containing the End Device control design will incorporate a prewired, selected control components to
a terminal strip for wiring a field provided controller and temperature sensor.
Note: for controller operation malfunction of any non-Trane, field installed
controls, consult the literature or technical support of the controls manufacturer.
Tracer™ ZN520 Control Package
(Option)
The ZN520 electronic digital controller
is a factory installed, tested and commissioned LonTalk™ certified design.
It may be used in a stand-alone control
scheme, or as part of a building automation system. The controller is prewired to Trane selected control components best suited for room comfort.
For more information on the ZN520
unit controller operation and service
issues, refer to CNT-SVX04A-EN
(ZN520 control manual).

General
Information
OA/RA Actuator (Option)
The OA/RA actuator provides true
spring return operation for positive
close-off of the OA/RA damper. The
spring return system of the actuator
closes the outside damper if power is
lost to the building. When ordered
with factory controls, the actuator is a
3-point floating design. A 2 to 10 VDC
actuator is available when other than
Trane controls are specified. See Table
1 for OA/RA technical data.
Note: Because the damper actuator is
a spring return type an inner spring
will close the damper upon loss of
power. If the need to service or replace
the actuator is required, the spring
must be "loaded" for the damper to
function properly. The term loaded
means that the blade must be held in
the return air position upon replacement of the actuator.
Face and Bypass Actuator (Option)
The face and bypass damper actuator
incorporates a direct couple design. It
provides electronic protection against
overload. A limit switch is not included, nor required as part of the design.
When reaching the damper end position, the actuator automatically stops.
The gears can be manually disengaged with a button on the housing.
See Table 2 for face and bypass actuator specifications.
Modulating Water Valves (Option)
The modulating control valve provides
optimum control of hot and chilled water flow in various heating and cooling
applications. They are designed to
provide sinusoidal valve actuator travel and operate silently, resisting water
hammer.
The actuator on the valve is a 24V, 3point floating type. See Table 3 for
modulating water valve specifications.
Isolation Valve (Option)
The isolation valve is a two position
24V, spring return type valve. It provides added control in heating and
cooling applications when used in
conjunction with the face and bypass
damper.

Installation
Wall Box Installation
The following instructions are general
recommendations for installing wall
intake boxes. Consult the architectural
plans for specific requirements.
Additional materials required to complete any specific installations (such as
duct connections, metal mounting
plates, or flanges) are not furnished by
Trane.
For best results, all air intake boxes
should be removable from outside of
the building. Weep holes must be at
the bottom to permit free drainage. A
positive air and moisture seal should
be provided around all edges.
General Instructions
Trane wall boxes are illustrated in the
dimensional section of this manual.
Dimensions are actual, and may be
used to define the wall opening.
Vertical louvers in the wall intake box
provide extra strength for a high load
bearing capacity. The lintel may be
omitted on masonry wall installations.
Weep holes are provided in the outside face of the bottom channel in the
wallbox frame. Install all wall boxes to
permit free drainage through the weep
holes to the outside of the building.
All wallboxes are furnished with diamond pattern expanded aluminum
bird screen.
Note: V1 and V2 (vertical) wall models
are all unflanged. H2, V3 and V6 are
flanged.

Installation in Masonry Walls
A typical method of installing the wall
box in a masonry wall opening is
shown in Figure 1.

Interior Wall
w/ sheetrock
Outside
Wall

Grout the top and bottom of the wall
box frame as noted. A sloped water
dam located in the space between the
unit and wall facilitates moisture
drainage. Grouting at the ends of the
intake box will complete the seal between the wall box frame and the masonry opening.

Rubber
Seals

Weep
Holes

Installation in Curtain Walls
In all cases, the wall intake box should
be caulked to provide a tight, weatherproof seal, Figure 2.
Note: A minimum of 2-1/8” of clearance must be maintained between the
exterior wall and back of the unit. Failure to provide this gap will not allow
the wall box to fit properly.

Installation
General Installation Checks
The checklist below is a summary of
the steps required to successfully install a unit. This checklist is intended to
acquaint the installing personnel with
procedures required in the installation
process. It does not replace the detailed instructions called out in the applicable sections of this manual.
1

Carefully remove the stretch wrap
and top cardboard cover. Check
the unit for shipping damage and
material shortage; file a freight
claim and notify appropriate sales
representation. If end panels have
been ordered, the panel will already be mounted to the unit.

Location Considerations
Selecting the appropriate location for
installing a unit is very important. The
following factors should be considered:

Internal access to the unit is provided by the removable front panel. Sufficient space should be
allowed to lift the panel for maintenance purposes.

Ensure the floor surface is level.
Note: The unit leveling legs can be
adjusted to accommodate slight
out-of-level installation surfaces.

Note: The unit ventilator is packaged in clear stretch wrap to allow
for immediate visual inspection. A
protective cardboard cover helps
prevent scratching and other cosmetic blemishes during transport.
2

Remove remaining cardboard
blocking.

Remove the unit’s left front panel
to verify nameplate/sales order
number is correct. It is located behind the control box.

Remove shipping bracket from the
lower rear corners of the unit to
separate the unit from the skid. Access to the screws holding the
bracket to the skid is obtained inside the unit.

Rotate the fan wheels manually.
The wheels should move freely
and be in proper alignment. Visually inspect the fan area for obstructions or shipping damage.

Remove all applicable knockouts
for coil piping and electrical connections.

UV-SVN03D-EN

Floor design must have sufficient
structure to withstand the weight
of the unit while allowing for
openings in the floor for a return
air duct, electrical and piping supply lines fed through the floor. See
page 7 for unit weights.
Wall space design should allow the
unit to be mounted to the wall securely. The wall surface behind
the unit should be smooth and level. Wall and floor moldings should
be removed prior to installation. A
wall slightly out of level may cause
problems with unconditioned air
leaking into the room. Remove
any object projecting more then
1/8” (.3175cm) from the wall surface. Note: Additional gasket or
furr strips may be installed to accommodate for an uneven wall.

There are two removable knockouts in the rear of the unit, on either end, for piping and electrical
supply lines. A pipe chase is located in the upper back portion of the
unit for crossover piping. The outside air opening is located in the
lower back of the unit and the path
to the wallbox on the outside wall
should be unobstructed.

The physical layout of the room
should accommodate any accessories ordered with the unit. Conditioned air is distributed through
the grille on top of the unit and returned through the return air grille
on the bottom of the unit. Avoid
placing any objects that may obstruct either grille or interfere with
airflow.

Unit Mounting
Note: All wall intake boxes should be
installed prior to mounting the unit
ventilator. Refer to Page 14 for wall
box installation instructions.
The 1/2” mounting or anchoring holes
are located on the back of the unit on
each end. See Figures 3.
Note: All mounting fasteners are to be
provided by the installer.

leveling legs in those slots and level the unit.

Installation
Piping Installation
Before installation of piping package,
the shipping bracket holding the piping in place, must be removed.
Proper installation of piping is necessary to provide efficient coil operation
and to prevent damage during operation. Follow standard piping practices
and include all accessories as necessary.
Piping connection knockouts are
shown pages 8 to 10. Field connection
types and sizes for unit coils are listed
in Table 5. These sizes are provided for
field piping connection.
A 7/8’’ OD condensate drain connection is provided on the chilled water
supply end of the unit.
1

Attach a flexible condensate drain
hose over the drain pan connection and secure with a hose clamp.

The drain pan on the vertical is vacuum molded with a drain connection
and P-Trap on the cooling coil, connection side.
Note: Condensate removal to the main
system should be made through the
bottom of the unit ventilator. If other
location for condensate removal is desired, a specific field cut-out for the
connection should be made in the back
of the unit ventilator. To help avoid
cold air infiltration, the field cut-out
should only be large enough to allow
for the condensate hose to exit the
unit.
To field reverse the slope of a vertical
unit drain pan.
2

Slide out fan deck (disconnecting
the condensate line and fan plug
will release fan deck for sliding).

After the condensate drain piping
has been completed, check water
flow to ensure the system properly carries and away all condensate
accumulation.

Note: A P-trap is factory supplied in every vertical unit ventilator.
Trane Piping Packages (Option)
Trane Standard Piping Package includes a 2-way or 3-way valve with bypass balance valve, ball valves, Pete’s
plugs and unions. A strainer and circuit balancing valve are optional.
1

All union connections should be
tightened in the field. Units are
shipped with union connections
hand tightened only in the factory.

Note: All connections made in the field
should be sweat connections.
Piping packages are not shipped insulated. Any insulation should be provided in the field by the installing
contractor.
The auxiliary drain pan (optional) is
the main condensate connection to
the unit when specified. The chilled
water or DX coil drain pan will empty
into the auxiliary drain pan if a factory
installed, auxiliary pan is ordered. All
field piping condensate connections
should be made at the auxiliary drain
pan.

Installation Crossover Piping
Crossover piping is available for all hydronic coils. It is either 1 3/8’’ \[34.9\] or
2 1/8’’ \[54\] in diameter (O.D.) as specified by the customer. Crossover piping can be found in either the left or
right hand end pocket. See crossover
submittal drawings page 13 for dimensional data.
On 4-pipe coils, crossover piping connects to the main cooling coil.
Factory insulation is provided on all
crossover piping.
When a Trane piping package is ordered, it is installed with the connections made to the supply and return of
both the coil and the crossover piping.
However, supply and return connections must be made in the field when a
piping package is furnished by the installer.
The crossover piping is located at the
back of the unit along the wall and the
ends of the piping are flush with the
end of the unit.
Expansion compensation between the
piping package and the crossover piping is achieved using flex hoses rated
at 250 psi working pressure. Expansion compensation for the crossover
piping must be handled external to the
unit ventilator.

Installation
Split System Units
The following refrigerant piping and
interconnecting wiring instructions
apply to unit ventilators with direct expansion type cooling coils used in conjunction with air-cooled condensing
units. Reference must also be made to
the condensing unit installation and
wiring manuals which are shipped
with the condensing unit.
Note: The ETL listing mark applied to a
unit ventilator does not apply to any
associated refrigerant condensing
unit.
Refrigerant Piping
Unit ventilators with direct expansion
cooling contain a nitrogen holding
charge in the evaporator coils. Connections are ‘‘pinched-off’’ at the factory.
To connect the condensing unit lines,
cut off the stubouts and swage. The
condensing unit lines can then be
brought into the swage and brazed.
Trane recommends the use of nitrogen purge when brazing refrigerant
lines to prevent formation of oxides in
the lines.
Install the refrigerant suction and liquid lines as described in the condensing unit installation instructions. The
TXV is factory installed on the Unit
Ventilator. Piping should be run
straight out through the back of the
unit. Access piping knockouts are located in the rear panels of the unit, as
shown in dimensional section of this
manual.

Steam Piping
When air, water or another product is
heated, the temperature or heat transfer rate can be regulated by a modulating steam pressure control valve.
Since pressure and temperature do
not vary at the same rate as load, the
steam trap capacity, which is determined by the pressure differential between the trap inlet and outlet, may be
adequate at full load, but not some
lesser load.
There are detailed methods for determining condensate load under various
operating conditions. However, in
most cases this is not necessary if the
coils are piped as shown in Figure 5.
Follow the procedure documented in
the ASHRAE Systems Handbook,
Steam Systems.

Installation
Modulating Water Valves (Option)
The actuator on the valve is a 24V, 3point floating valve. The actuator can
be easily removed from the valve body
by pressing in on the locking tab and
rotating the actuator 45° counterclockwise (See Figure 6a). The 2-way
valves are bi-directional flow. The 3way valves can be mixing or diverting
(See Figure 6b).
Note: The actuator must be removed if
soldering is being conducted near the
valve. High heat may cause damage to
the actuator’s plastic body/mechanisms.

5 Replace valve actuator and wire in
accordance with instructions.

2 Remove the cartridge assembly
from the valve body with the enclosed tool.

Figure 7: Cartridge removal tool

Plumbing the Valve
The valve may be plumbed in any angle but preferably not with the actuator below horizontal level of the body.
Make sure there is enough room
around the actuator for servicing or replacement.
For use in diverting applications, the
valve is installed with the flow water
entering through the bottom AB port
and diverting through end ports A or
B. In mixing applications the valve is
installed with inlet to A or B and outlet
through AB.
Mount directly to the tube or pipe. Do
not grip the actuator while making or
tightening plumbing connections. Either hold valve body by hand or attach
an adjustable spanner (38mm/1-1/2”)
across the hexagonal or flat faces on
the valve body. See Figure 8.

Installation
Manually Opening Valve
The manual opener can be manipulated only when in the up position. The A
port can be manually opened by firmly
pushing the white manual lever down
to the midway position and pushing
the lever in. In this position, both A
and B ports are open. This “manual
open” position may be used for filling,
venting and draining the system or
opening the valve during power failure.

the normally open (NO) or normally
closed (NC) contacts, driving the valve
to an intermediate position until a further change at the controller.

The valve can be closed by depressing
the white lever lightly and then pulling
the lever outward. The valve and actuator will return to the automatic position when power is restored.

Isolation Valves
Installation
The valve can be mounted in any position on a vertical line. If the valve is
mounted horizontally, the actuator
must be even with or above the center
line. Make sure there is enough room
to remove actuator cover for servicing.
Mount the valve on the tube or pipe.

Note: If the valve is powered open, it
cannot be manually closed, unless the
actuator is removed.
Wiring
A controller and a separate transformer is required to operate each valve.
See Figures 9 and 10. Port A “open”
and “closed” denote valve open and
closed positions.

Figure 12: Removing valve actuator

The valve is set between the limits of
the controller to satisfy various load
requirements. In the event of power
failure, the valve will stay in the position it was in before loss of power.
When power is restored, the valve will
again respond to controller demand.

To install the actuator to the valve
body:
