The Force–Flo™ cabinet heater meets the
standards of today’s market, as well as
the anticipated needs of tomorrow’s
market. The tradition that company
founder Reuben Trane began in 1913
continues with the latest generation of
cabinet heaters from Trane.
The Force–Flo cabinet heater is the leader
in these key areas:
• Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
• Controls
• Flexibility
• Quality
• Serviceability
Today’s HVAC market is concerned with
issues such as indoor air quality (IAQ)
and CFCs that demand a change in HVAC
products. In addition, renovation has
overtaken new construction in the
cabinet heater market—demanding a
design that caters to renovation issues.
Trane is concerned with these issues,
too. That’s why we designed the Force–
Flo cabinet heater as an integral part of
the company’s system solutions with
standard IAQ-related features that fully
comply with ASHRAE 62.
IAQ Design
• Closed-cell insulation is standard on all
units to help prevent fiberglass in the
airstream.
• Force–flo cabinet heaters have a blowthru design.
Controls
• All controls are factory-mounted and
tested to minimize field setup.
• Controls are wired with a 24 VAC
transformer to keep only a single
source power connection requirement
to the unit.
• All wall-mounted zone sensors require
only low voltage control wiring from
the device to the unit control box. (No
line voltage.)
• The Tracer
the latest in control technology with the
ZN.010, ZN.510, and ZN.520 controllers.
• The random start-up feature helps
reduce electrical demand peaks by
randomly staggering multiple units at
start-up.
• Occupied/unoccupied operation allows
the controller to utilize unoccupied
temperature setpoints for energy
savings.
• Warm-up energy feature is standard
with Trane controls.
• Continuous fan or fan cycling is available with ZN.010 or ZN.510.
• Monitor unit operation using Tracer
Summit building management system
with ZN.510 or ZN.520.
• To customize unit control, Tracer
Summit or Rover
field modification of ZN.510 and ZN.520
default settings. For ZN.010, use Rover
to field modify default settings.
• Maximize cabinet heater system
efficiency with modulating valves on
units with ZN.520.
Flexibility
• Two, three, and four-row hot water coils
allow greater design flexibility. Steam
distributing or electric heat coils are
also available.
• Fan motors are available for either high
static (0.4-inch external static pressure)
or free discharge applications.

All Force-Flo™ cabinet heaters, except
inverted models M and N, are available
with electric heating coils as a standard
option.
Coil Construction
Electric heat coils are open wire type with
a nickel chromium element design.
Power Supply
Units have single-point power since the
electric heating elements operate on line
voltage. Electric heat is available as
208/60/1, 230/60/1, 277/60/1, 208/60/3, or
480/60/3. Electric heat coils operate on the
same voltage as the unit, except for units
with 480/60/3 electric heat. In this case, the
unit operates at 277/60/1, thus requiring a
4-wire supply. All fans and motors are
single phase. In addition, all control
options are 24-volt, utilizing a factoryinstalled transformer.
Power Supply Location
All electric heat cabinet heaters have a
terminal block for main power on the
unit’s right-hand side.
Control Type
Single-stage electric heat units are
controlled by any of the Tracer
control options. Two-stage electric heat is
controlled by the Tracer ZN.520 only. Both
®
ZN
control options use PWM (pulse-width
modulation) outputs to calculate the
electric heat output based on the capacity
request and the electric heat cycles per
hour. For example, if the electric heat
cycles per hour is configured for six
cycles (as Trane recommends) the
controller bases the output on or off time
on six 10-minute periods. If the capacity
request is 40%, the controller controls the
electric heat output on for approximately
four minutes each period.
Safety Features
• All Force-Flo units with standard electric
heat are UL listed.
• Units require only a single-point
electrical connection.
• All electric heating coils are interlocked
with the fan motor switch. Therefore,
electric heat operation is only possible
when the fan is running.
• Each unit has a transformer, eliminating
the need for field installation of a stepdown transformer.
• A unit mounted magnetic contactor(s) is
(are) supplied on all unit voltages.
• A high temperature cutout with automatic reset de-energizes the electric
heat in the event of an overheat condition.

General Data
Piping Packages
Factory-Installed Piping
Packages
Force–Flo cabinet heaters have standard
piping packages available as a factory
built and installed option. Factory built
assures all piping packages are fully
tested under water for leaks and are built
within strict tolerances. Factory-installed
means that supply and return pipes are
the only field connections required. The
installer doesn’t have to sweat connect
piping packages onto coil connections in
a tight end pocket. Field connections are
brought to a point near the exterior of the
unit for easy access.
Piping Package Components
Force–Flo piping packages consist of a
variety of components for each application. The following section provides a
detailed description of the piping components. Following this section are additional illustrations and specifications.
Piping System/Placement
Factory piping packages are available
with right or left hand connections. A
simple coil connection (a unit without a
piping package) is also available in either
a right or left hand configuration for those
applications requiring field piping.
Interconnecting Piping
Interconnecting piping refers to the
copper piping which is attached to the
coil connections and all other components such as control valves, end valves,
etc. Piping is
extends near the unit exterior to one inlet
and one outlet connection.
Deluxe or Basic Piping Package
The basic piping package includes only
the main components of the piping
package: interconnecting piping, control
valves, and end valves.
The deluxe piping package also includes
a strainer on the entering water pipe and
unions at the coil connections along with
the basic components. The strainer body
is cast brass construction, with a stainless steel mesh strainer that is easily
removed for cleaning. The unions are
forged brass construction and close with
a minimum amount of effort.
1
/2” nominal OD copper and
End Valves
Each piping package includes a ball valve
for the entering water pipe and one of the
following end valves on the leaving water
pipe: ball valve, manual circuit setter, or
an auto circuit setter. These valves serve
as the field connection points on all
Force–Flo piping packages.
• Ball Valves
Ball valves, also known as stop or end
valves, allow the unit to be cut off for
service purposes. These valves have a
two-inch handle that rotates 90 degrees
to a fully open position. The valve body is
cast brass, and the ball is polished brass
with a Teflon seat. Ball valves are available
as end valves on both the entering and
leaving water pipes.
Manual Circuit Setter
In lieu of a ball valve on the leaving water
pipe, a manual circuit setter, also known
as a manual flow control valve, acts as
both a flow setting device and a stop
valve. This valve allows water flow
through the cabinet heater to be set
quickly and accurately.
The manual circuit setter includes
Schrader ports in the valve body. These
ports are used to measure the pressure
drop across the valve. This pressure drop
can be compared to factory supplied
curves that relate the pressure drop to a
specific flow rate. This valve also has a
memory stop so the correct setting can
be found quickly.
Auto Circuit Setter
An auto circuit setter is an automatic flow
control device available on the leaving
water pipe. The auto circuit setter
includes a cartridge within the valve body
that is sized to allow a specific flow rate
through the coil. This valve sets flow
through the coil without any action
required by a system piping balancer. The
auto circuit setter is available on the
leaving water pipe with a ball valve.
The auto circuit setter also includes two
P/T’s plugs in the valve body to allow
measurement of the pressure drop
temperature through the valve.
Control Valves
Piping packages are available with or
without control valves. All control valve
options are factory mounted and wired to
the Force–Flo unit controls.
• Two-Way/Two-Position Valves
These valves will either fully open or
close in response to a 24VAC signal from
the Trane controller. Control valves are
direct-acting valves. The control valve is
factory mounted in the leaving water pipe
downstream of the coil. Some means of
relieving pump head pressure should be
accounted for when two-way valves are
selected. Normally open or normally
closed valves are available.
• Three-Way/Two-Position Valves
These valves will either allow full water
flow through the coil or divert the flow
through a bypass line. The valves
respond to a 24VAC signal from the Trane
controller. Control valves are direct acting
valves. All three-way valve packages
include a balance fitting in the bypass line
to allow flow balancing in the bypass
position. Three-way valves are factory
mounted in the leaving water pipe
downstream of the coil. Normally open
or normally closed valves are available.
• Two-Way Modulating Valves
These valves modulate the water flow
through the coil in response to a signal
from the Trane controller. Modulating
valves are three-wire floating point equal
percentage valves, and are factory
mounted in the leaving water pipe
downstream of the coil.
• Three-Way Modulating Valves
These valves modulate the water flow
through the coil in response to a signal
from the Trane controller. Three-way
valves allow water that is directed
through the coil to mix with water that is
directed through the bypass line. This
mixture exits through the leaving water
pipe. Modulating valves are three-wire
floating point equal percentage valves,
and are factory mounted in the leaving
water pipe downstream of the coil.

Selecting the Correct
Modulating Valve Size
Modulating valves are available in any of
four port sizes. These four port sizes
relate to a Cv of 0.7, 1.5, 2.5 or 4.0, which
is the coefficient of flow. The coefficient of
flow is defined as the volume of water
flow through a control valve in the fully
open position with a 1 psig (6.895 kPa)
differential across the valve. It is calculated using the following formula:
Cv = Q/Square root ∆P where:
Cv = flow coefficient
Q = flow rate (GPM)
∆P = pressure drop across the valve or
coil (psig).
For good control, the valve Cv should be
approximately equal to the Cv of the
water coil.
Modulating Valve Selection Example
Assume a size 06 cabinet heater is
selected to operate at the following
conditions:
Vertical cabinet cabinet heater
Entering water temperature = 180 F (82 C)
Leaving water temperature = 150 F ( C)
EAT = 70 F (21 C)
The coil is selected as a four-row coil.
Select the best modulating valve size for
this unit.
1
Find the ∆P across the water coil. Refer to
the ARI performance table to determine
the ∆P across the water coil or use the
Trane Official Product Selection System,
TOPSS™, selection program. The water
pressure drop is found to be 5.7’ (17.0
kPa) of water at a flow rate of 3.59 gpm.
This converts to a pressure drop of 2.47
psig (1.0 feet of water = 0.4328 psig.)
2
Calculate the Cv of the water coil.
Cv = GPM/Square root ∆P.
Cv = 3.59/Square root 2.47
Cv = 2.29
Therefore, select the valve with the Cv of
2.5 since it is closest to the Cv of the
water coil. The following tables illustrate
possible valve selections at ARI conditions for horizontal concealed units with a
high static motor and vertical cabinet
units with a free discharge motor. For
other applications, use TOPSS to
determine the flowrate and make
calculations using the formulas above.

Features
Control Features
The following control functions are
standard features on units with Tracer
ZN.010, ZN.510, or ZN.520.
Occupied/Unoccupied Operation
The occupancy input utilizes a binary
switch (i.e. motion sensor, timeclock, etc.)
that allows the zone sensor to utilize it’s
unoccupied internal setpoints.
Random Start
This feature randomly staggers multiple
unit start-up to reduce electrical demand
spikes.
Warm-up
The two-position fresh air damper option
closes during the occupied mode when
the space temperature is three degrees or
more below the heating setpoint temperature. The damper remains closed
during warm-up until the space temperature is within two degrees of the heating
setpoint temperature.
Manual Output Test Function
This feature is an invaluable tool for
troubleshooting a unit. By simply
pressing the controller’s test button,
service personnel can manually exercise
outputs in a pre-defined sequence.
Peer to Peer Communication (ZN.510 and
ZN.520)
Peer to peer communication allows
multiple units in one space to share the
same zone sensor and provide simultaneous heating. The ZN.510 or ZN.520
controller can share information between
units on the same communication link
using a twisted pair wire in the field. Unit
configuration must be modified with
Rover service tool.
ZN.520 Additional Features
Fan Status
The ZN.520 controller monitors the fan
output status to determine if the fan is
operating.
Filter Maintenance Status
The controller has an adjustable timer
that indicates through Summit or Rover
when filter maintenance is necessary.
Filter maintenance status is based on
cumulative fan run hours.
Water Valve Override
Using Summit or Rover, the water valve
override function drives all water valves
in every unit fully open simultaneously.
This helps reduce the time required for
waterside balancing.
Cascade Control
The controller maintains discharge air
temperature using a cascade control
algorithm. The discharge air temperature
is based on the difference between the
space temperature and setpoint. Unit
capacity modulates to achieve the
discharge air temperature.
Interoperability
The ZN.520 controller can be used with a
Tracer Summit system or on other
control systems that suport LonTalk and
the SCC profile. For more information on
specific inputs and outputs, see the
Installation, Owner, and Maintenance
Manual, UNT-IOM-6

End Device Options
All end device options are factoryinstalled and tested.
Two-Position Control Valves
Model Number Digits 27 and 28 = A - H
Two-position valve options are available
with either Tracer ZN.010, ZN.510, or
ZN.520. Valves are spring-return type,
sweat connections, and available as
normally open or closed. The valves
respond to a 24V signal and have
sweat connections. The two-way valve
option will either fully open or close. The
three-way valve option allows either full
water flow through the coil or diverts
waterflow through the bypass. If the
control valve loses power, the valve
returns to its de-energized position. All
control valve options are factory installed
in the leaving water piping downstream
of the hydronic coil. The valve actuator is
easily removable for service without
removing the valve body from piping.

These
three-wire floating point valves, equal
percentage type. Modulating valves are
available in four Cv sizes: 0.7, 1.5, 2.5, and
4.0. The valve responds to a 24V triac
signal from the controller, which determines the valve position by a control
algorithm. If the valve loses power, it
remains in the position that it was in

when the power loss occurred. All
control valves are factory installed in the
leaving water piping downstream of the
hydronic coil.
Field-Supplied Valves
Model Number Digits 27 and 28 = X or Y
When using field-supplied valves, this
option allows the controller to be factoryconfigured for the normal position of the
field-supplied valve.
Note: The Trane Company does not
recommend wild coil applications.
Two-Position Fresh Air Damper Actuator
Model Number Digit 13 = D, E, or F
(Available with all control options except
ZN.520)
This damper actuator uses a 24V signal
and is factory-wired and mounted to the
damper assembly. It allows zero to 50%
fresh air. The damper will drive open to
an adjustable mechanical stop-position
whenever the fan is running during
occupied mode and will spring-return
closed when the fan turns off.

Units with Electric Heat
HACR (heating, air conditioning, and
refrigeration) type circuit breakers are
required in the branch circuit wiring for all
units with electric heat. To compute MCA
and MFS, see Tables ED-2 through ED-5
on page 31 for motor FLAs and Tables
ED-6 through ED-8 on pages 32-33 for
electric heat amps.
Calculating electric heat amps:
Single stage, three phase =
heat kW * 1000/1.732/volts
Two stage, three phase =
total heat kW * 1000/1.732/volts
Note: Use 240V heat voltage for 230V
units.
Calculating MCA:
MCA = 1.25 * (heat amps + sum of all
motor FLAs)
Calculating MFS:
MFS = (2.25 * largest motor FLA) +
second motor FLA, size 10-12 units only +
heat amps
Use the closest larger fuse or HACR
circuit breaker above the MCA. Standard
fuse sizes are: 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45,
50, 60 amps.
