Features and
Benefits
Refrigeration Piping
The unit’s copper tubing is created from
a 99% pure copper formation that
conforms to the American Society of
Testing (ASTM) B743 for seamless, lightannealed processing.
The unit’s copper refrigeration system is
manufactured to be free from
contaminants and conditions such as
drilling fragments, dirt, or oil. This
reduces the possibility of these
contaminants damaging the compressor
motor.
Figure FB-9 – Schrader Connections
Figure FB-7 – Plastic Drain Pan
Drain Pan
The unit drain pan is composed of
plastic, corrosive resistive material. The
pan is positively sloped to comply with
ASHRAE 62 for (IAQ) indoor air quality
conformity.
Access to the drain pan is provided
through the front chassis access panel.
The drain pan is removable for cleaning.
Cabinet Insulation
The cabinet insulation design meets UL
181 requirements. The air stream surface
of the insulation is fabricated of a nonbiodegradable source.
The insulation in the wet section of the
cabinet complies with ASHRAE standard
62 to accommodate (IAQ) indoor air
quality standards.
Figure FB-8 – Rotary Compressor
Compressor
The unit’s design includes a rotary
compressor motor in dedicated voltages

Benefits
Figure FB-10 – Coaxial Water Coil
Coaxial Coil
The unit’s internal heat exchanging
water coil is engineered for maximum
heat transfer.
The copper or cupro-nickel seamless
tubing is a tube within a tube design.
The inner-tube contains a deep fluted
curve to enhance heat transfer and
minimize fouling and scaling. Coaxial
heat exchangers are more tolerant to
freeze rupture.
Compressor and Coaxial Coil Isolation
Vibration isolation for the compressor
and coaxial water coil is accomplished
by increasing the rigidity and stiffness at
the base for the compressor, and at the
back of the chassis for the coaxial water
coil. This platform includes double
isolation to the compressor and single
isolation to the coaxial water coil.
Figure FB-11 – Water Connection
Water Connections
The water-in/water-out connections to
the coaxial water coil are located in the
right-hand or left hand end pocket
(option specific).
The water-in/water-out tubes are a
5
/8-inch [14.7 mm] OD sweat connection.
The connection is available in either a
left hand or right hand piping end
pocket.
Figure FB-12 – Expansion Valve
Expansion Valve
All Trane water-source systems include
an expansion valve flow metering
device.
This thermal expansion valve (TXV)
allows the unit to operate with an
entering fluid temperature from 25 F to
110 F [-3.9 C to 43.3 C], and entering air
temperatures from 40 F to 90 F [4.4 C to
32.2 C]. The valve precisely meters
refrigerant flow through the circuitry to
achieve desired heating or cooling.
Unlike cap-tube assemblies, the
expansion valve device allows the exact
amount of refrigerant required to meet
the coil load demands. This precise
metering by the TXV increases the
efficiency of the unit.
Figure FB-13 – Reversing Valve
Reversing Valve
A system reversing valve (4-way valve)
is included with all heating/ cooling
units. This valve is piped to be energized
in the cooling mode. Once the valve is
energized for cooling, it will remain
energized until the control system is
turned to the OFF position, or a heating
cycle is initiated.
Units with the cooling only option will
not receive a reversing valve.
Figure FB-14 – Fan Board Assembly
Blower Housing
The blower housing is constructed of
non-corrosive galvanized steel.
Serviceability to the housing is made
through the chassis air-side front panel.
The fan housing is mounted onto a
fanboard assembly which also includes

Air-Side Filter
The air-side filter incorporates a 1-inch
[25.4 mm] thick (nominal) disposable
fiberglass option. The filter includes an
average synthetic dust weight arrestance
of approximately 75%. This dust holding
capability includes a colorless, odorless
adhesive to retain dirt particles within
the filter media after fiber contact.
The filter is accessible through the
return-air portion of the unit subbase.
Panel removal is not necessary to
facilitate filter maintenance for the
standard height unit configuration.

Features and
Benefits
Sound Attenuation Package
The console equipment is designed to
achieve the lowest noise levels possible.
Extensive testing has identified the
major sound generating sources within
the console unit package. Every effort
has been made to minimize the sound
generation and transmission from the
compressor, heat exchangers, and fan
sources. Vibration transmission from the
compressor and heat exchangers have
been minimized by the use of isolation.
The use of heavy metal gauges in critical
areas enhance the unit acoustic
performance. A patented two-stage
compressor isolation system has been
specifically designed for the console unit.
Acoustic lining has been used to quiet
compressor noise.
The unit airside acoustic performance
has been engineered to obtain the
quietest acoustic performance through
the fan, and fan housing selection. The
fin tube (air-to-refrigerant) coil and fan
discharge arrangement includes an
additional acoustic lining in the fan
compartment to further reduce the
airside sound levels. (See sound
performance data .)
The sound package for the console unit
includes:

The boilerless control option is
comprised of a single stage of electric
heat and is designed to invoice electric
heat in the event that entering-water
temperatures falls below 55 F [12.8 C].
On a call for heating, the electric heater is
energized, locking out the compressor.
Once the entering water temperature
rises, above 60 F [15.6 C], the boilerless
controller returns the unit to normal
compressor heating operation and locks
out the electric heater. This option is
ONLY available on heat pump units.

Hot Gas Reheat (option)
For true atmospheric conditioning and
climate control, Trane provides accurate,
cost effective dehumidification control
through a hot gas reheat option. This
option is designed to accommodate the
size 009 console configuration.
With this reheat option, the return air
from the space is cooled by the air-torefrigerant coil, then reheated by the
reheat coil to control not only space
temperature, but to also reduce the
relative humidity of the space. The
amount of moisture removal of a specific
heat pump is determined by the unit’s
latent capacity rating.
When operating in the reheat mode, the
humidistat signals the reheat relay coil to
energize, allowing the high pressure
refrigerant gas to flow from the
compressor, through the reversing valve,
into the reheat valve, for passage
through the reheat coil.

Safety Devices
All unit safety devices are provided to
prevent compressor damage.
Low Pressure Switch
The low pressure switch prevents
compressor operation under low charge,
excessive loss of charge situations, and
under low temperature operation. This
device is installed on the suction side of
the refrigeration circuit. It is set to
activate at refrigerant pressures of 20
psig to fit most applications.
High Pressure Switch
The high pressure switch prevents
compressor operation during high or
excessive discharge pressures. This
device is located on the discharge side of
the compressor. The pressure switch deenergizes the compressor when
discharge pressure exceeds 395 psig.
See Figure FB-28 for pressure switches.
Controls
Lockout Relay
The lockout relay works with the low and
high pressure switch to prevent
compressor operation if the unit is under
low or high refrigerant circuit pressure,
or condensate overflow conditions. The
lockout relay may be reset at the
thermostat, or by cycling power to the
unit.
General alarm is accomplished through
the lockout relay and is used for driving
light emitting diodes (LEDs). This feature
may be used to drive field supplied
relays, but cannot be used to drive field
installed control inputs.
Stand-alone System
The 24V electro-mechanical design may
be applied as a stand-alone control
system. The stand-alone design provides
accurate temperature control directly
through a unit mounted controller, or a
wall-mounted mercury bulb or electronic
thermostat. This system setup may be
utilized in a replacement design where a
single unit retrofit is needed. It may be
easily interfaced with a field provided
control system by way of the factory
installed 18-pole terminal strip.
This stand-alone control is frequently
utilized on lower volume jobs where a
building controller may not be
necessary, or where field installed direct
digital controls are specified. This type of
control design does require a constant
flow of water to the water source heat
pump. With a positive way to sense flow
to the unit, the units safety devices will
trigger the unit off.
The stand-alone system design provides
a low cost option of installation while still
allowing room control freedom for each

Deluxe 24V features
include:
Random Start
The random start relay provides a time
delay start-up of the compressor when
cycling to the occupied mode. A new
start delay time between 3 and 10
seconds is applied each time power is
enabled to the unit.
Anti-short Cycle Timer
The anti-short cycle timer provides a
three minute time delay between
compressor stop and compressor
restart.
Brown-out Protection
The brown-out protection function
measures the input voltage to the
controller and halts the compressor
operation. Once a brown-out situation
has occurred, the anti-short cycle timer
will become energized. The general fault
contact will not be affected by this
condition. The voltage will continue to
be monitored until the voltage increases.
The compressor will be enabled at this
time if all start-up time delays have
expired, and all safeties have been
satisfied.
Compressor Disable
The compressor disable relay provides a
temporary disable in compressor
operation. The signal would be provided
from a water loop controller in the
system. It would disable the compressor
because of low water flow, peak limiting
or if the unit goes into an unoccupied
state. Once the compressor has been
disabled, the anti-short cycle time period
will begin. Once the compressor disable
signal is no longer present, and all
safeties are satisfied, the control will
allow the compressor to restart.
Generic Relay
The generic relay is provided for field
use. Night setback or pump restart are
two options that may be wired to the
available relay.

Safety Control
The deluxe microprocessor receives
separate input signals from the
refrigerant high pressure switch, low
suction pressure switch and condensate
overflow.
In a high pressure situation, the
compressor contactor is de-energized,
which suspends compressor operation.
The control will go into
mode initializing a three minute time
delay and a random start of 3 to 10
second time delays. Once these delays
have expired, the unit will be allowed to
run. If a high pressure situation occurs
within one hour of the first situation, the
control will be placed into a
mode, halting compressor
lockout
operation, and initiating the general
alarm.
In a low temperature situation, the low
pressure switch will open after the
compressor starts. If the switch is open
for 45 seconds during compressor start,
the unit will go into
initializing a three minute time delay and
a random start of 3 to 10 second time
delays. Once these delays have expired,
the unit will be allowed to run. If the low
pressure situation occurs again, and the
device is open for more than 45 seconds,
the control will be placed into a
mode, halting compressor
lockout
operation, and initiating the general
alarm.
In a condensate overflow situation, the
control will go into
mode, halting compressor operation,
and initiating the general alarm.
The general alarm is initiated when the
controller goes into a
mode for either high pressure, low
pressure or condensate overflow
conditions. The alarm can be reset at the
thermostat or by cycling power to the
unit.

control system or as a multi-unit
installation system. With a stand-alone
design, units run independently of one
another with a mercury bulb or
electronic digital thermostat.
Controls
With a multiple unit installation, the units
may be daisy-chained directly to the
Trane Tracer loop controller (TLC),
pump(s), boiler, and tower for a
complete networked water-source
system. The TLC provides a night
setback output, and a pump request
input for system optimization.

Direct Digital Controls
In addition to being factory configured to
control the unit fan, compressor, and
reversing valve of the unit, the Tracer
ZN.510 controller is designed to
coordinate the water side of the watersource system. If applied in a
peer-to-peer communication
environment, data between similar
controllers may be exchanged without
requiring a building automation system.

Features and
Tracer ZN.510
Benefits
Tracer ZN.510 features include:
Compressor Operation
The compressor is cycled on and off to
meet heating or cooling zone demands.
Single compressor units use the unit
capacity and pulse width modulation
(PWM) logic along with minimum on/off
timers to determine the compressor’s
operation. The compressor is controlled
ON for longer periods as capacity
increases and shorter periods as
capacity decreases.
Random Start
To prevent all of the units in a building
from energizing major loads at the same
time, the controller observes a random
start from 0 to 25 seconds. This timer
halts the controller until the random start
time expires.
Reversing Valve Operation
For cooling, the reversing valve output is
energized simultaneously with the
compressor. It will remain energized
until the controller turns on the
compressor for heating. At this time, the
reversing valve moves to a de-energized
state. In the event of a power failure or
controller OFF situation, the reversing
valve output will default to the heating
(de-energized) state.
Fan Operation
The supply air fan operates at the fan
switch selected speed in the occupied or
occupied standby mode. When switch is
set to AUTO, the fan is configured for
cycling ON with heating or cooling. The
fan will run for 30 seconds beyond
compressor shutdown in both occupied
and unoccupied mode.
Filter Maintenance Timer
The controller’s filter status is based on
the unit fan’s cumulative run hours. The
controller compares the fan run time
against an adjustable fan run hours limit
and recommends unit maintenance as
required.
Controls
Data Sharing
The Tracer ZN.510 controller is capable
of sending or receiving data (set points,
fan request, or space temperature) to
and from other controllers on the
communication link. This allows multiple
units to share a common space
temperature sensor in both stand-alone
and building automation applications.
Night Setback
The four operations of the Tracer ZN.510
controller include occupied, occupied
standby, occupied bypass and
unoccupied.
In an occupied situation, the controller
uses occupied heating and cooling set
points to provide heating and cooling to
the building. This occupied operation is
normally used during the daytime hours
when the building is at the highest
occupancy level.
In an occupied standby situation, the
controllers heating and cooling set
points are usually much wider than the
occupied set points. This occupied
standby operation is used during
daytime hours when people are not
present in the space (such as lunchtime
or recess). To determine the space
occupancy, an occupancy sensor is
applied.
In an unoccupied situation, the controller
assumes the building is vacant, which
normally falls in evening hours when a
space may be empty. In the unoccupied
mode, the controller uses the default
unoccupied heating and cooling set
points stored in the controller. When the
building is in unoccupied mode,
individual units may be manually placed
into timed override of the unoccupied
mode at the units wall sensor. During
timed override, the controller interprets
the request and initiates the occupied
setpoint operation, then reports the
effective occupancy mode as occupied
bypass.
In the occupied bypass mode, the
controller applies the occupied heating
and cooling setpoint for a 120 minute
time limit.
