Trane's Digital Control System, AdaptAire, is designed to give the user the
ultimate in unit performance and operational flexibility, adaptability, and
reliability in a user-friendly package. The AdaptAire DDC system is a standard
component on Trane heating and cooling units. Non-recirculating units,
equipped with the AdaptAire system, do not have return air
capabilities, and all functions related to recirculating units are not
relevant. Where a function is similar but different between recirculating and
non-recirculating units, the function is explained separately.
AdaptAire accepts single or multiple units on the system network. Each unit can
be provided with a local user interface. The operating parameters for individual
units may be input through the local interface. A PC may also be connected to the
network. This allows the user to configure eac h unit separately, or all units can be
configured simultaneously. A controls contractor can provide assistance in
networking.
Operational modes include time scheduling, filter monitoring, and multiple
damper control and temperature control schemes. All of these modes provide
the maximum in unit operational flexibility.
The optional airflow station imparts unparalleled adaptability into the operation
of each unit. A daily self-calibration enables AdaptAire to detect the total air
volume and the exact ratio of outside and return air entering the unit. Then
AdaptAire daily fine-tunes the unit's operation based on these new parameters.
Air volume can vary because of changes in static pressure conditions due to
loading filters, VAV boxes, and building dynamics. These varying conditions
influence the ventilation air provided by the unit. On certain models of
recirculating direct-fired heaters this impacts the allowable equivalent
temperature rise of the unit that is allowed under the latest ANSI standard for
direct-fired heaters.
AdaptAire diagnostic capabilities insure swift response to abnormal unit
conditions. A fault is generated anytime the operational parameters and actual
unit operation are at odds. An indication of trouble is displayed at the local user
interface and system PC in text format. In the Diagnostics section of this manual
is a list of all faults and possible causes and solutions.
All of the features of the AdaptAire system are designed to provide the user with
real time information. At any time the user can display all of th e o per at io n al
parameters, make changes, if necessary, and observe the various temperature,
pressure, and damper readings. The system's diagnostic capa bilit ies provide the
user with up to the minute status reporting. (BACview service module or
WebCTRL internet connection is required for these features.)
AdaptAire is adaptable to a variety of different network architectures and
protocols. Each controlle r h as built-in pr otocol t ran slation a nd ca n be conf ig ured
for operation on ARCnet156 or EIA-485 communication networks. See Appendix
IV for specific controller specifications.
The AdaptAire system can be connected to most existing building automation
systems. Some systems may require the use of special controllers and network
communication devices. See Appendix I for Device Parameters and Cache Setup
information.

Heating/Ventilating/Cooling Operating Modes
The AdaptAire DDC controller automatically switches between the heating,
ventilating and cooling modes of operation.
Heating Mode
Heating Mode allows the burner to operate as needed a nd is activated when ever
the room temperature is 2° below the heating setpoint.
General Burner Control
In the Heating Mode the burner will modulate to maintain a constant
temperature. To change t he desired heating di sc harge or room temperature of a n
MDT or MRT control system, rotat e the tempe rature set point knob on the remote
panel clockwise to the desired temperature.
To change the desired heating room temperature of an MRT-Pro control system,
depress the Warmer button to increase the desired room temperature setpoin t or
depress the Cooler button to decrease the desired room temperature setpoint.
Each push of a button changes the temperature setpoint by 1°F. The setpoint can
be changed a maximum of ±10°F from the default of 72°F.
To change the desired heating room temperature of an MRT-Expert control
system, scroll through the SETPOINTS menu tree using the BACview, locate the
Occupied Heating Setpoint, and enter a new temperature. The allowable
temperature range is 55°F - 90°F. The burner will modulate using a PID loop to
maintain this temperature.
Additionally, on all controls systems except the MDT the control system
modulates the burner to maintain the suppl y air temperature within a defined
operating window. This window defines the maximum and minimum discharge
temperatures.
To change the desired minimum supply or discharge air temperature scroll
through the SETPOINTS menu tree, locat e the HTG MIN D A S etpoint, and enter a
new temperature. This temperat ure must not be greater than the HTG MAX DA
Setpoint. The allowable temperature range is 40°F - 130°F. This sets the lowest
discharge air temperature that will leave the unit.
To change the desired maximum supply or discharge air temperature scroll
through the SETPOINTS menu tree, locate the HTG MAX DA Setpoint, and enter
a new temperature. This temperature must not be less than the HTG MIN DA
12Direct-Fired Indoor and Outdoor Units • MUA-SVP01A-EN
Unit Operating Modes
Setpoint. The allowable temperature range is 55°F - 130°F. This sets the highest
discharge air temperature that will leave the unit.
If the maximum and minimum discharge temperature setpoints are set for the
same temperature, the supply air temperature will be the same as the setpoint
regardless of the room temperature setpoint or actual room temperature.
Recirculating Direct-Fired Heaters. Using different controller software, the
AdaptAire DDC system can accommodate three distinct types of recircu la t in g
direct-fired units: those that return air before the burner and employ a special
airflow station, those that return air before the burner and do not employ a
special airflow station, and those that recirculate air after the burner.
Recirculating direct-fired units, like all direct-fired units, deliver all of their
products of combustion directly to the heated air space. For this reason it is
extremely important that the proper ventilation ra te be maintained to dilute these
emissions.
AdaptAire units, that recirculate air before the burner and employ an airflow
measuring station, utilize a control scheme that measures air pressure to
determine the ratio of outside air and return air. These units are listed by an
independent third party testing agency and use the equivalent temperature rise
control scheme to limit burner modulation. The AdaptAire system accurately
measures the ratio of outside and return air, calculates the allowable equivalent
temperature rise and automatically lim its the burne rs firing rate. This in sures the
products of combustion, delivered to the space by the unit, are held at or below
allowable OSHA thresholds. The outside air percentage is the driving parameter
for this function. A greater percentage of outside air or dilution air enables the
unit to generate a higher allowable equi valent temperature rise.
AdaptAire units that recirculate air before the burner and do not employ an
airflow measuring station utilize a control scheme that measures damper
position to determine the percentage of return air. These units are not listed by
an independent third party te sting a gency but do use the equivalent temperature
rise control scheme to limit burner modulation.
AdaptAire units that recirculate air after the burner are physically constrained to
limit the percentage of return air. These constraints are meant to provide the
proper dilution air . An independent third party testing agency and do not use the
equivalent temperature rise control scheme to limit burner modulation does not
list these units.
In order of lowest to greatest priority the burner modulation parame ters are:
room temperature, discharge or supply air temperature, and equivalent
temperature rise.
There are three Energy Savings modes that could disable the burner.
Energy Savings Mode 1—Mixing Box Recirculating Units. Energy Savings Mode
1 will automatically disable the burner if the mixe d ai r te mperatu re i s e qual t o or
greater than the minimum discharge air temperature setpoint, and the room air
temperature is 5°F above the room air tempe r ature setpoint. This function is
intended to restrain the room temperature from rising uncontrollably in buildings
MUA-SVP01A-EN • Direct-Fired Indoor and Outdoor Units13
Unit Operating Modes
with internal heat gain. In certain conditions it may be necessary to readjust the
minimum discharge air or room temperature setpoint upward or adjust the
outside/return air ratio to provide a warmer supply air temperature.
Energy Savings Mode 1—Non-Recirculating Units. Energy Savings Mode 1 will
automatically disable the burner if the outside air temperature is equal to or
greater than the minimum discharge air temperature setpoint, and the room air
temperature is 5°F above the room air tempe r ature setpoint. This function is
intended to restrain the room temperature from rising uncontrollably in buildings
with internal heat gain. In certain conditions it may be necessary to readjust the
minimum discharge air or room temperature setpoint upward or adjust the
outside/return air ratio to provide a warmer supply air temperature.
Energy Savings Mode 2—Mixing Box Recirculating Direct-Fired Units. Energy
Savings Mode 2 will automatically disable the burner if the burner's minimum
firing rate exceeds the allowable equivalent temperature rise. This condition is
unlikely to occur unless the burner's minimum firing rate is misadjusted and set
too high, or the inlet air opening is restricted.
Ventilation Mode
Energy Savings Mode 3. Energy Savings Mode 3 will automatically disable the
burner if the outside air temperature is above the Outside Air Economizer
setpoint. This function is similar to an inle t duct thermo stat. The burn er will cycle
back on if the supply air temperature drops 3°F be low the Outside Air Economiz er
setpoint.
To change the desired outside air economizer temperature scroll through the
SETPOINTS menu tree, locate the ECONOMIZER Setpoint, and enter a new
temperature. The default for this setpoint is 65°F. The allowable temperature
range is 40°F - 80°F.
Ventilation Mode occurs when the fan is running but the unit is not providing
heating or cooling.
On an MDT control system the heating mode is activated when the remote
temperature setpoint knob is turned to start the unit. See Energy Savings Modes
for more information.
On all other systems the ventilation mode is dependant on the room
temperature. The heating/ventilation/cooling operation is demonstrated below.
The dotted line in the middle of the diagram represents the change between
room temperature rise and room temperature fall. Select a point on the heavy
line in the diagram to determine the mode of operation.
EXAMPLE: Start at point "A". The unit is in the ventilation mode and the room
temperature is rising. Follow the dashed line upward. If the room temperatu r e
rises to a temperature that is 2°F over the cooling setpoint, the cooling will be
enabled, and the unit will be in the cooling mode. Fo llow the solid line clockwise.
Once the room temperature has fallen to the cooling setpoint, the cooling mode
will be disabled, and the room will be in the ventilation mode. Follow the dashed
14Direct-Fired Indoor and Outdoor Units • MUA-SVP01A-EN
Unit Operating Modes
line downward. If the room temperature falls to a temperature that is 2°F below
the heating setpoint, the heating will be enabled, and the unit will be in the
heating mode. Continue following the solid line in a clockwise direction to the
heating setpoint. Once the room temperature rises to the heating setpoint, the
heating mode will be disabled, and the room will be in the ventilation mode.

output does not have an anti-cycle delay.
The MDT control system does not support the Cooling Mode.
To change the desired cooling room temperature of an MRT control system,
rotate the temperature setpoint knob on the remote panel clockwise to the
desired temperature. The allowable temperat ure range is 55°F - 90°F. The cooling
will be disabled when the room temperature drops to the Cooling Setpoint.

Unit Operating Modes
To change the desired cooling room temperature of an MRT-Pro control system,
depress the Warmer button to increase the desired room temperature setpoin t or
depress the Cooler button to decrease the desired room temperature setpoint.
Each push of a button changes the temperature setpoint by 1°F. The setpoint can
be changed a maximum of ±10°F from the default of 72°F.
To change the desired cooling room temperature of an MRT-Expert control
system, scroll through the SETPOINTS menu tree using the BACview, locate the
Occupied Cooling Setpoint, and enter a new temperature. The allowable
temperature range is 61°F - 96°F. The burner will modulate using a PID loop to
maintain this temperature.
Additionally, on all controls systems except the MDT the control system cycles
the cooling output to maintain the supply air temperature within a defined
operating window. This window defines the maximum and minimum discharge
temperatures.
To change the desired minimum supply or discharge air temperature scroll
through the SETPOINTS menu tree, locate the CLG MIN DA Setpoint, and enter a
new temperature. This temperature must not be greater than the CLG MAX DA
Setpoint. The allowable temperature range is 55°F - 130°F. This sets the lowest
discharge air temperature that will leave the unit.
To change the desired maximum supply or discharge air temperature scroll
through the SETPOINTS menu tree, loca te the CLG MAX DA S etpoint, and enter a
new temperature. This temperature must not be less than the CLG MIN DA
Setpoint. The allowable temperature range is 55°F - 130°F. This sets the highest
discharge air temperature that will leave the unit.
If the maximum and minimum discharge temperature setpoints are set for the
same temperature, the supply air temperature will be the same as the setpoint
regardless of the room temperature setpoint or actual room temperature.
Damper Control Modes
There are four different modes that control the unit damper operation: Manual,
Mixed Air Temperature, Building Pressure, and 100% Outside Air. Except for the
100% Outside Air mode, these operating modes are selected through the menu
tree of the local user interface or PC. Not all damper modes are available on all
units.
Manual Mode
Manual Mode is the default damper operational mode. This will set the outside
air damper to a fixed position.
MDT and MRT Controls. To place the damper operation in Manual Mode on an
MDT or MRT control sy st em b e sure th e ap propria te termin als in the unit cont rol
panel are not shorted. See the Typical Wiring Schematic and Multiplexed Input
sections of this manual for more information. Rotate the damper control knob on
the remote panel to the desired percentage of outside air. If the unit served by
this control is a direct-fired heater, that recirculates air before the burner, and is
16Direct-Fired Indoor and Outdoor Units • MUA-SVP01A-EN
Unit Operating Modes
operating in the heating mode, the unit will automatically keep the minimum
outside air at 20%. If the outside air drops below 20%, the burner will cycle off.
See Minimum Ventilation.
MRT-Pro Controls. To change the damper mode on an MRT-Pro control system
requires the use of a BACview or PC. See the section related to the MRT Expert
for instructions on how to use the BACview for programming.
MRT-Expert Control. To place the damper operation in Manual Mode scroll
through the menu tree, locate the Damper Mode branch and select Manual Pos.
Next, scroll through the menu tree, locate the Setpoints branch, select Man Vent
SP, and enter the desired damper position. The allowable range is 0% to 100%. If
the unit served by this control is a direct-fired heate r, that recirculates air before
the burner, and is operating in the heating mode, the unit will automatically keep
the minimum outside air at 20%. If the outside air drops below 20%, the burner
will cycle off. See Minimum Ventilation.
Mixed Air Temperature Mode
The Mixed Air Temperature mode varies the percentages of outside air and
return air to maintain a constant mixed air t emperature. The AdaptA ire controller
computes the mixed air temperature using the outside air and return air
temperatures and the ratio of their respective airflows.
MDT and MRT Controls. To place the damper operation in Mixed Air
Temperature Mode on an MDT or MRT control system be sure the appropriate
terminals in the unit control panel are shorted. See the Typical Wiring Schematic
and Multiplexed Input sections of this manual for more information. Rotate the
damper control knob on the remote panel to the desired mi xed air temperature. If
the unit served by this control is a direct-fired heate r, that recirculates air before
the burner, and is operating in the heating mode, the unit will automatically keep
the minimum outside air at 20%. If the outside air drops below 20%, the burner
will cycle off. See Minimum Ventilation.
MRT-Pro Controls. To change the damper mode on an MRT-Pro control system
requires the use of a BACview or PC. See the section related to the MRT Expert
for instructions on how to use the BACview for programming.
MRT-Expert Control. To place the damper operation in Mixed Air Temperature
Mode scroll through the menu tree, locate the Damper Mode branch and select
MA Temp Ctrl. Next, scroll through the menu tree, locate the Setpoints branch,
select Mixed Air , and enter th e desired temperature. The allow able range is 30°F -
80°F. If the unit served by this control is a direct-fired heater, that recirculates air
before the burner, and is operating in the heating mode, the unit will
automatically keep the min imum outside air at 20%. If the outside air drops
below 20%, the burner will cycle off. See Minimum Ventilation.

Unit Operating Modes
Building Pressure Mode
The Building Pressure mode varies the percentages of outside air and return air
to maintain a constant pressure within the space. A pressure transducer
compares the pressure outside the space to the pressure inside the space and
transmits a corresponding signal to the AdaptAire controller. The controller
compares this signal to the desired building pressure setpoint and uses a PID
loop to modulate the outside air and return air dampers to maintain the specified
building pressure.
MDT and MRT Controls. The MDT and MRT control systems do not support
building pressure control mode.
MRT-Pro Controls. To change the damper mode on an MRT-Pro control system
requires the use of a BACview or PC. See the section related to the MRT Expert
for instructions on how to use the BACview for programming.
MRT-Expert Control. To place the damper operation in Building Pressure Mode
scroll through the menu tree, locate the Damper Mode branc h and select Bld g Prs
Ctrl. Next, scroll through the menu tree, locate the Setpoints branch, select Bldg
Prs, and enter the desired pressure. The allowable ran ge is -0.0 5"wc to +0.05"wc.
If the unit served by this control is a direct-fired heater, that recirculates air before
the burner, and is operating in the heating mode, the unit will automatically keep
the minimum outside air at 20%. If the outside air drops below 20%, the burner
will cycle off. See Minimum Ventilation.
