SAFETY WARNING

CLCH-SVX014B-EN

Introduction

Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servici ng this unit.

Warnings, Cautions, and Notices

Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required. Your personal safety and the proper operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance of these precautions.

The three types of advisories are defined as follows:

WARNING

CAUTIONs

NOTICE

Important Environmental Concerns

Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment. Trane advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants-including industry replacements for CFCs and HCFCs such as saturated or unsaturated HFCs and HCFCs.

Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices

Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified according to local rules. For the USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. It could also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

Indicates a situation that could result in equipment or property-damage only accidents.

Lifting and Rigging

Refer to CLCH-SVX07*-EN Performance Climate Changer™ Air Handler Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manual for instructions on equipment

rigging and lifting. This manual ships inside the unit fan section.

Placement and Assembly

Refer to the design engineer’s plans and submittals for the location of the gas heat section in the air handler. The gas heat section will arrive at the job site as an individual section. It is not shipped with the air handler.

Hardware for fastening the gas heat section to the air handler can be found in the unit fan section.

Final assembly of the air handler should be done at the unit installation site. Refer to CLCH-SVX07*-EN Performance

Climate Changer™ Air Handler Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manual for instructions on equipment

assembly.

Flue Stack for Outdoor Air Handlers

The flue stack for outdoor air handlers must be mounted on the flue opening on the side of the unit. The flue stack must be installed on the gas heat section before assembling the gas heat section to the air handler. It is very difficult to remove the flue from inside the unit once the unit is assembled.

It is recommended that the services of an experienced, qualified gas heat technician be employed to adjust air-fuel ratios for proper combustion.

Installing Outdoor Flue Stacks

The flue stack for outdoor gas heat sections ships inside the gas heat section or in one of the other sections of the air handler.

Figure 3. Outdoor air handler flue stack

Outdoor air handler flue stack

Attach the flue stack to the flue collar and secure it with screws as indicated in the following figure.

A field-provided rain hood or screen is recommended on the flue to prevent possible blockage from bird nests and beehives.

Installation

High Altitude Installations

WARNI NG

Hazard of Explosion!

Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only damage. Installations at altitudes of 3,000 feet above sea level or higher may require adjustment of the airfuel linkage for proper combustion. Air-fuel adjustment should only be done by an experienced, qualified gas heat technician.

Air-fuel adjustment is not normally required. However, for high altitude installations, adjustment to the air-fuel may be necessary for proper combustion. Heater outputs must be derated four percent for every 1000 feet over 2000 feet above sea level. When specifying gas heaters, the engineer should provide the MBh and airflow required at altitude. All Trane literature is based on nominal outputs at sea level.

Installing Indoor Flue Stacks

Gas heat sections for indoor air handlers require a fieldengineered and field-installed flue stack. Local codes and practices vary throughout the country. The engineer should size the flue based on MBh output, horizontal and vertical run lengths, type of flue material, NFPA 54 Fuel Gas Code, and local codes. The flue should be designed for 800 degrees F (430 degrees C). If horizontal runs over 20 feet or other static-increasing transitions are necessary, a flue booster fan will be required.

Install according to local codes.

Installing Rain Hood/Combustion Air Inlet

Rain hoods are only required on an outdoor unit with an internal vestibule. The combustion air opening will be in the side panel.

Rain hoods for the combustion air opening ship attached to the side panel or ship loose and must be installed at the job site. The assembly consists of the hood, butyl tape and number 10 screws.

• Install butyl tape between the hood and the side panel or door panel. See the following figure.

• Locate the bottom edge of the hood 2 3/8 inches below the bottom edge of the inlet air opening and center the hood left-to-right over the inlet air opening. See the following figure.

• Install the hood to the unit with number 10 screws.

14 CLCH-SVX014B-EN

Note: When installing flue, leave enough clearance to

avoid roof’s edge and anything above the roof.

Duct Connections

All duct connections to the gas heat section should be installed in accordance with the standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association, Inc. (SMACNA).

Combustion Air Duct

• Outdoor units have a rain hood that either ships attached to the side panel or ships loose and requires field mounting.

• All indoor units ship with a screened opening on the combustion air inlet.

If combustion air is ducted to the vestibule, it is strongly recommended that an experienced gas heat technician check the system and emission levels in the exhaust flue at start up. Carbon dioxide should be between 8.2 and 9.4 percent. This corresponds to the allowable range of excess air needed for combustion. The additional static pressure of the inlet air duct may change the fuel-air ratio slightly necessitating system adjustment.

Combustion air cannot be ducted directly to the combustion air fan. The airflow through the vestibule is needed to keep the temperatures in the vestibule down.

Duct Transitions

When the gas heat section is the last section of the air handler, and duct transitions should be smooth and uniform from all sides. Follow recommendations for duct transitions from SMACNA.

Fasten the ductwork directly to the ductwork opening. When using lined ductwork, the insulation should not obstruct the discharge opening.

Airflow Direction

The airflow direction through the gas heater is important because it prevents localized “hot spots” on the heat exchanger. Airflow direction labels denoting correct airflow direction through the gas heat section are provided on the burner side of the heating section. See Figure 8.

Installation

CLCH-SVX014B-EN 15

Piping

WARNING

Hazard of Explosion and Deadly Gases!

Failure to follow all proper safe refrigerant handling practices could result in death or serious injury. Never solder, braze or weld on refrigerant lines or any unit components that are above atmospheric pressure or where refrigerant may be present. Always remove refrigerant by following the guidelines established by the EPA Federal Clean Air Act or other state or local codes as appropriate. After refrigerant removal, use dry nitrogen to bring system back to atmospheric pressure before opening system for repairs. Mixtures of refrigerants and air under pressure may become combustible in the presence of an ignition source leading to an explosion. Excessive heat from soldering, brazing or welding with refrigerant vapors present can form highly toxic gases and extremely corrosive acids.

Gas Piping

Note: Installation must conform with the American

National Standard Z223.1 (NFPA 54), the National Fuel Gas Code, latest edition, in the absence of local codes.

• Gas piping should always be done in accordance with local codes.

• Tighten all joints securely.

• Pipe unions should be a “ground joint” type to prevent leakage.

• Provide adequate support for field-installed piping to avoid placing stress on the gas train and controls.

• Run takeoff lines from the side or top of the main gas line to prevent moisture from being drawn into the gas train of the unit.

• Provide a drip leg in the field-installed piping, installing it near the unit.

• Select an appropriately sized gas pressure regulator to assure the required gas supply pressure is maintained at the unit.

• For unit to operate unit properly, the inlet gas pressure must be maintained at 7 inches wc. Required gas pressure to the gas train is 5 to 13 inches wc

• Gas pressure and volume must be maintained and stable at high fire.

• If the gas pressure regulator serves more than one heating unit, it must be sized appropriately to ensure that the inlet gas pressure at each unit is 5 to 13 inches wc while all burners are firing.

• Check the gas supply pressure before making the final connection to the unit. If the gas pressure is too high, damage to the gas valve could occur.

Heat Exchanger Condensate Piping

Condensate usually does not form in the heat exchanger during normal heating operation. However, if the unit operates for extended periods of time at very low fire, or if the air handler serves as a cooling unit also, condensate can form in the heat exchanger and should be removed.

All units are equipped with a condensate drain. The condensate drain is on the same side as the gas train.

If a p-trap and drain is to be connected to the condensate drain line, consult local plumbing codes for disposal of the condensate may be a slightly acidic solution.

Proper Gas Pressure

NOTICE

Excessive Gas Pressure!

Failure to maintain proper gas pressure could result in damage to the gas train components. The gas pressure at the inlet to the gas train must not exceed 13 in. wc. A properly sized gas regulator that provides a maximum of 13 in wc. of gas pressure, must be supplied in the gas inlet line to unit.

• To assure sufficient gas pressure at the unit, use appropriately sized gas pipe for unit capacity. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code for pipe sizing information.

Equipment Damage!

Do not operate the gas heat system without a supply fan providing airflow. Operating the gas heat system without a supply fan could result in damage to equipment or property.

The gas heat control system requires a binary signal for on/off control. A field provided interlock is recommended in the start-stop signal circuit with the air handler supply fan. This interlock must insure the start-stop signal is interrupted to the gas heat system if the supply fan is shut off. The gas heat system must not operate without the supply fan providing airflow.

The control system also requires a 0 to 10 Vdc analog signal for modulation where 10 Vdc is a signal for full heat.

WARNING

Hazardous Service Procedures!

Failure to follow all precautions in this manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels could result in death or serious injury.

• Technicians, in order to protect themselves from potential electrical, mechanical, and chemical hazards, MUST follow precautions in this manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels, as well as the following instructions: Unless specified otherwise, disconnect all electrical power including remote disconnect and discharge all energy storing devices such as capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. When necessary to work with live electrical components, have a qualified licensed electrician or other individual who has been trained in handling live electrical components perform these tasks.

• Do not attempt the following procedures until all electrical and gas connections to the unit have been completed and the outdoor air damper and evaporator fan operation have been verified and are operating correctly.

Notes:

1. This furnace module does not have a pilot. It is equipped with a direct spark ignition device that automatically lights the gas burner. DO NOT try to light burners by hand.

WARNING

Hazard of Explosion!

Failure to follow proper safe leak test procedures could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only-damage. NEVER use an open flame to detect gas leaks. You MUST use a leak test solution for leak testing.

2. BEFORE OPERATING, leak test all gas piping up to heater gas valve. Smell around the unit area for gas. If gas is smelled, do NOT attempt to place heater in operation until source of gas leak is identified and corrected.

3. Use only hand force to operate the gas control lever to the “ON” position. NEVER use tools. If lever does not operate by hand, replace gas valve prior to staring the unit. Forcing or attempting to repair the gas valve may result in fire or explosion.

4. Do not attempt to operate unit, if there is indication that any part or control has been under water. Any control or component that has been under water must be replaced prior to trying to start the unit.

• The maximum allowable temperature rise is as listed in table for minimum cfm.

• Nominal airflow is based on 500 fpm through a nominal coil (i.e. 500 x unit size 8 = 4000 cfm).

• The minimum allowable airflow at full fire is 75 percent of the nominal airflow (i.e. 0.75 x 500 x unit size 8 = 3000 cfm).

• The minimum allowable airflow at reduced fire is 50 percent of the nominal airflow (i.e. 0.50 x 500 x unit size 8 = 2000 cfm).

• Calculate temperature rise at airflows other than nominal with this equation: Temp Rise = (1000 x MBh) / (1.1 x CFM)

• On high altitude applications, derate the heating capacity (MBh) by 4 percent for every 1,000 feet of altitude over 2,000 feet above sea level.

• Temperature rise is listed for nominal cfm/minimum cfm.

Start-up Procedure

1. Check Inlet Gas Pressure: Ensure the gas pressure supplied to the unit is within the pressure requirement listed on the nameplate. DO NOT expose gas controls to pressures above 13 in. wc). If required by local code, a field provided gas supply line should be installed with a field provided external manual shutoff and pressure tap.

2. Verify Fan Failure Switch Operation: The supply fan air proving switch is located in the heater electrical control compartment near the top of the heater panel. The switch will fail if not proven within 30 seconds of call for indoor fan—ON. All unit air filters must be clean before proceeding to properly complete this verification.

Important: If the unit air filters are not clean, unit

performance could be affected. Remove and clean or replace air filters as required prior to proceeding with the burner pressure testing.

Hazardous Voltage and Gas!

Failure to turn off gas or disconnect power before servicing could result in an explosion or electrocution which could result in death or serious injury. Turn off the gas supply and disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects, before servicing the unit. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized.

3. Confirm Gas Flow at Unit: Open door to unit vestibule housing the gas heater. Move gas control lever to “OFF” position. Remove 1/8-in. pressure taps from both modulating and on-off sections of the split heater manifold. Install a barbed fitting in both 1/8-in. tapped holes for connection to individual gas manometers.

Note: There is a third 1/8-in. gas pressure tap located

in the pipe connecting the main valve/regulator and modulating valve. Maximum pressure into modulating valve is 5-in. The On-Off gas valve includes a regulator adjustment device that is located on the top of the valve. Use this device to regulate valve output to modulating valve as required.

4. Wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear. If you smell gas,

Step 2 and correct leak. If you don’t smell gas or have

corrected any leaks, go to the next step.

5. Main Gas Supply: Turn manual gas cock “ON”.

6. Pre-purge and Ignition:

a. Open all manual gas valves.

b. Turn power on at the gas heat switch inside the gas

heat vestibule.

c. A call for heat is initiated by the AHU unit control

through a 0-10V analog signal.

d. The heater controller will then go through a system

check to ensure that the high temperature limit and rollout switches are closed, the air pressure switch is open, and the modulating valve is positioned correctly.

e. The control will then enter the pre-purge cycle,

where the inducer will run at the programmed purge pressure. During this cycle, the control will look for the air pressure switch to close and open at the correct settings.

f. Once the system check and pre-purge cycles are

complete, the control will enter the ignition cycle. The modulating valve and inducer will go to their “light off” settings. The DSI ignition module will be energized and the spark ignitor will activate. The redundant safety valve will open, allowing gas flow. The burners will ignite and the control will receive a signal from the flame sensor. The spark ignitor will remain active for the duration of the ignition cycle, regardless of flame status.

g. If flame is not established during the ignition cycle,

the control will repeat the pre-purge and ignitions cycles up to three times. After three failed ignition attempts, the board will enter a 1 hour lockout.

h. Once flame has been established, the control will

enter a warm-up period to ensure flame

stabilization and reduce condensation in the heat exchanger.

i. After the warm-up period, the control will enter the

run cycle. During the run cycle, the burner firing rate and draft inducer pressure are determined based on the heat demand received by the control via a 0-10V analog signal.

Note: If the control is paired with a split manifold, Step c

through Step h pertain to the primary burners. Once the control exits the warm-up period and the firing rate is dictated by the rooftop control, the control will ignite the secondary burners and modulate the primary burners based on the demand for heat.

j. The run cycle will continue until any of the following

conditions are met.

• The call for heat is terminated.

• Any of the safety devices (high limit, air

pressure, rollout, etc.) are triggered.

The control reaches it’s maximum run time of 6

•

hours. If this condition is reached, the control will terminate the run cycle, continue through the proper sequence of operations, and then immediately enter the system check and prepurge cycles to prepare for re-ignition, assuming conditions A and B haven't been met.

k. Once the run cycle has terminated, the redundant

safety valve will close, the modulating valve will return to its set position, and the draft inducer will ramp up to its “light-off” setting for a 45 second post-purge cycle.

l. After the conclusion of the post-purge, the control

will enter the “OFF” state. All system outputs are de-energized but all safety devices are still monitored.

m. When the building management system

temperature is satisfied and the demand for heat ends, the gas valve is de-energized immediately and the combustion blower is energized on high speed for 30-second post-purge period.

n. If the unit fails to ignite see Troubleshooting

Figure 9. Flame characteristics of properly-adjusted

natural gas systems

Figure 10. Flame characteristics of properly-adjusted

natural gas systems

Main Burner Flame

• The burner flame should be predominately blue in

color and well defined and centered at the tube entry as shown in the previous figure above. Distorted flame or yellow tipping of natural gas flame, or a long yellow flame on propane, may be caused by lint and dirt accumulation inside burner or at burner ports, at air inlet between burner and manifold pipe, or debris in the main burner orifice. Soft brush or vacuum clean affected areas.

• Poorly defined, substantially yellow flames, or

flames that appear lazy, indicate poor air supply to burners or excessive burner input. Verify gas supply type and manifold pressure with rating plate.

• Poor air supply can be caused by obstructions or

blockage in heat exchanger tubes or vent discharge pipe. Inspect and clean as necessary to eliminate

blockage. Vacuum any dirt or loose debris. Clean heat exchanger tubes with stiff brush. Poor flame characteristics can also be caused by flue gas recirculation into combustion air supply. If surrounding buildings or prevailing winds cause recirculation, a flue extension may be required to prevent recirculation. Contact manufacturer prior to making any flue adjustments.

• Reduced air delivery can also be the result of

inducer fan blade slippage, dirt accumulation in the fan blade or low voltage to draft inducer motor. Inspect draft fan assembly and be sure fan blade is secure to motor shaft. Check line voltage to heater.

NOTICE

Meter Damage!

Measuring voltage with meter connect to a circuit could result in meter damage. Do NOT measure voltage with meter connected to a circuit.

1. Flame Sensor Current Check: Flame current is the current which passes through the flame from the sensor to ground. A flame signal of 0.5 to 1.0 microamp (A) is marginal. For dependable operation, a flame signal of greater than 1.0 A is required. To measure flame current, connect a meter capable of reading micro-amp current so the flame signal will be read thru the meter’s COM and A connections. The meter should read greater than

1.0 A.

Note: If the meter reads below “0” on scale, meter

leads are reversed; disconnect power and reconnect meter leads for proper polarity.

2. Manifold Pressure Adjustment:

• The manifold pressure for high fire second stage

should be at 3.5-in. wc, if it needs adjustment, adjust the HI Regulator on the two stage gas valve.

• The manifold pressure for Low Fire First Stage

should be set at 1.2-in. wc, if it needs adjustment, adjust the LO Regulator on the two stage gas valve.

• Inducer Air Proving Switch:

A n a ir p re ss u re sw i tch is pr ov id ed as pa rt of th e c on tr ol system to verify airflow through draft inducer by monitoring the difference in pressure between the draft inducer and the atmosphere. If sufficient negative pressure is not present, indicating lack of proper air movement through heat exchanger, the switch opens shutting off gas supply though the ignition control module. On units with two speed draft inducer operation, a dual air pressure switch is used, monitoring high and low speed pressures. The air pressure switches have fixed settings and are not adjustable.

The high limit switch will automatically reset when the air temperature drops to approximately 50°F below the limit setpoint. Determine the cause of the reduced air flow and correct.

• Supply Fan Air Proving Switch: A supply fan air proving switch is provided as a part of the gas heat control system to verify air handling unit supply fan air flow across the heat exchanger by monitoring the difference in pressure between the gas heat plenum section and the atmosphere. If sufficient positive pressure is present, the switch will be closed. The air proving switch has fixed settings and is not adjustable.

• Rollout Switch (Manual Reset):

The furnace module is equipped with manual reset

Normal Sequence of Operation

rollout switch(es) in the event of burner flame rollout. The switch will open on temperature rise and shut-off gas supply through the ignition control module. Flame rollout can be caused by insufficient airflow for the burner firing rate (high gas pressure), blockage of the vent system or in the heat exchanger. The furnace module should not be placed back in operation until the cause of rollout condition is identified and corrected. The rollout switch can be reset by pressing the button on top of the switch.

• High Limit Switch:

The furnace module is equipped with one or two fixed temperature high limit switches mounted on the vestibule panel that shuts off gas to the heater through the ignition control module in the event of reduced airflow over the heat exchanger tubes. Reduced airflow can be caused by indoor fan failure, dirty or blocked filters, or restriction of the air inlet or outlet to the unit.

4. If rollout switch is open, check for flue vent blockage or air leaks in the cabinet.

5. Reset the rollout switch and observe the flame for signs of rolling out.

1. Check gas valve wiring.

2. Check for shorts in 24V circuit.

3. Replace control.

VB1287 Sequence of Operations

1. A call for heat is initiated by the rooftop unit control through a digital Modbus signal or the analog thermostat.

2. The VB1287 control will then go through a system check to ensure that the high temperature limit and rollout switches are closed, the air pressure switch is open, and the modulating valve is positioned correctly.

4. Once the system check and pre-purge cycles are complete, the control will enter the ignition cycle.

a. The inducer will go to its “light off” setting (usually

high speed).

b. The DSI ignition module will be energized and the

spark ignitor will activate.

c. The safety valve will open, allowing gas flow.

d. The burners will ignite and the VB1287 control will

receive a signal from the flame sensor.

8. The run cycle will continue until any of the following

conditions are met.

a. The call for heat is terminated.

b. Any of the safety devices (high limit, air pressure,

rollout, etc.) are triggered.

c. The control reaches it’s maximum run time of 6

hours. If this condition is reached, the control will terminate the run cycle, continue through the proper sequence of operations, and then immediately enter the system check and pre-purge cycles to prepare for re-ignition, assuming conditions A and B haven't been met.

enter the “OFF” state. All system outputs are deenergized but all safety devices are still monitored.

e. The spark ignitor will remain active for the duration

of the ignition cycle, regardless of flame status.

5. If flame is not established during the ignition cycle, the control will repeat the pre-purge and ignition cycles up to three times. After three failed ignition attempts, the board will enter a 1 hour lockout.

6. Once flame has been established, the control will enter a warm-up period to ensure flame stabilization and reduce condensation in the heat exchanger.

7. After the warm-up period, the control will enter the run cycle. During the run cycle, the burner firing rate is determined by the heat demand received by the control via a Modbus signal or the analog thermostat. Two firing stages, High or Low, are available.

Note: If the control is paired with a split manifold, steps 1

through 6 pertain to the primary burners. Once the
