IMPORTANT NOTICES
Effective July 1, 1992, all service operations must
use recovery systems to minimize losses of
refrigerant to the atmosphere when servicing units
with Class I and Class II refrigerants.
Class I (CFC) and Class II (HCFC) refrigerants
include CFC-12, HCFC-22, CFC-500, CFC-502,
CFC-11, CFC113 and HCFC-123. Deliberate venting
is prohibited by Section 608 of the Clean Air Act.
In the normal service of air conditioning systems,
there are t hr ee ma jor ac tivi tie s ma nda ted b y th e EPA
regulations: recovery, recycling and reclaiming.
1 Recovery - the act of removing refrigerant from
the air conditioning unit so that losses of
refrigerant to the atmosphere are minimized.
Whenever a refrigeration circuit is opened, the
recovery of the refrigerant is required. If there is no
reason to believe that the refrigerant is “bad”, such
as during service of gaskets, expansion valves or
solenoid valves, the refrigerant is often returned to
the unit without treatment. (Note: Always follow the
equipment manufacturers recommendations
regarding replacement of unit filter driers during
service.)
sold to a reclaimer rather than be serviced in the
field.
3 Reclaiming - the act of purifying refrigerant and
testing it to ARI 700 “new” refrigerant standards.
With reclamation, each batch of refrigerant
undergoes extensive laboratory tests and the
waste streams are disposed of according to
environmental regulations.
Most reclamation will be done at centralized
processing facilities because of the testing, waste
handling and EPA certification requirements for
reclamation. The Trane Company and others offer
reclamation services for most refrigerants.
Reclamation is probably the most attractive
alternative for users with salvaged and suspect
refrigerant.
If there is reason to suspect that the refrigerant is
bad, such as with a compressor failure, the
refrigerant should either be replaced or recycled,
Recovery is also required when a piece of equipment
is decommissioned. This prevents the loss of
refrigerant upon disposal of the unit. The recovered
refrigerant usually is sold to refrigerant reclaimers
rather than reused in the customer's new equipment.
2 Recycling - the act of cleaning recovered
refrigerant for use in the customer’s equipment.
First, the refrigerant is boiled to separate the oil.
Then it is run through a filter drier to separate
moisture and acid.
Because of limited field testing capability, the quality
and identity of any recycled refrigerant is suspect.
For this reason, the EPA will most likely allow
recycling of refrigerant only when it is returned to its
original owner. Resale of the recycled refrigerant to
third parties will not be allowed.
As a result, most servicers will only recycle
refrigerant when the quantity of the refrigerant to be
recycled and the expertise of the technician make it
attractive to do so. Most suspect refrigerant will be

REFRIGERANT EMISSION CONTROL
Evidence from environmental scientists indicates that
the ozone in our upper atmosphere is being reduced,
due to the release of CFC fully halogenated
compounds.
The Trane Company encourages every effort to
eliminate, if possible, or vigorously reduce the
emission of CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants into
the atmosphere that result from installation,
operation, routine maintenance, or major services on
this equipment. Always act in a responsible manner
to conserve refrigerants for continued use, even
when acceptable alternatives are available.
Conservation and emission reduction can be
accomplished by following recommended Trane
operation, maintenance and service procedures, with
specific attention to the following:
1 Refrigerant used in any type of air conditioning or
refrigerating equipment should be recovered for
reuse, recovered and/or recycled for reuse,
reprocessed (reclaimed), or properly destroyed,
whenever it is removed from equipment by an
EPA certified Type 11 or Universal Technician.
Never release refrigerant into the atmosphere.
7 Take extra care to properly maintain all service
equipment that directly supports refrigeration
service work, such as gauges, hoses, vacuum
pumps and recycling equipment.
8 Stay aware of unit enhancements, conversion
refrigerants, compatible parts and manufacturer’s
recommendations which will reduce refrigerant
emissions and increase equipment operating
efficiencies. Follow manufacturer’s specific
guidelines for conversion of existing systems.
9 In order to assist in reducing power generation
emissions, always attempt to improve equipment
performance with improved maintenance and
operations that will help conserve energy
resources.
2 Always determine possible recycle or reclaim
requirements of the recovered refrigerant before
beginning recovery by any method. Questions
about recovered refrigerants and acceptable
refrigerant quality standards are addressed in ARI
Standard 700.
3 Use approved containment vessels and safety
standards. Comply with all applicable
transportation standards when shipping
refrigerant containers.
4 To minimize emissions while recovering
refrigerant, use recycling equipment. Always use
methods which will pull the required vacuum while
recovering and condensing refrigerant into
containment.
5 When leak checking with a trace of refrigerant and
nitrogen, only use R-134a on R-134a units. Be
aware of any new leak test methods which
eliminate refrigerant as a trace gas, but consult
Trane Pueblo technical service before adding any
other substance besides R-134a to the system.
6 When cleaning system components or parts,
avoid using CFC-11 (R-11) or CFC-113 (R-113).
Refrigeration system cleanup methods which use
filters and dryers are preferred. Do not use
solvents which have ozone depletion factors.
Properly dispose of used materials.

Storage
If the chiller is to be stored at least one month prior to
installation, observe the following precautions:
q Do not remove the protective coverings from the
electrical panel.
q Store the chiller in a dry, vibration-free, secure
area.
q At least every three months, attach a gauge and
manually check the pressure in the refrigerant
circuit. If the refrigerant pressure is below 71 psig
at 70°F (or 46 psig at 50°F), call a qualified
service organization and the appro pr iat e Trane
sales office.
NOTE: Pressure will be approximately 20 psig if
shipped with the optional nitrogen charge.
Location Requirements
Noise Considerations
Refer to Trane Engineering Bulletin RLC-EB-3 for
sound consideration applications.
q Locate the unit away from sound-sensitive areas.
q Install the isolation pads under the unit. Refer to
“Unit Isolation.”
q Install rubber vibration isolators in all water piping.
q Use flexible electrical conduit for final connection
to the UCP2.
NOTE: Consult an acoustical engineer for critical
applications.
Foundation
Provide rigid, non-warping mounting pads or a
concrete foundation of sufficient strength and mass
to support the chiller operating weight (including
completed piping and full operating ch ar ges of
refrigerant, oil and water). Refer to
7
for unit operating weights.
Table 8
and
Table
The Trane Company is not responsible for equipment
problems resulting from an improperly designed or
constructed foundation.
Vibration Eliminators
q Provide rubber boot type isolators for all water
piping at the unit.
q Provide flexible conduit for electrical connections
to the unit.
q Isolate all pipe hangers and be sure they are not
supported by main structure beams that could
introduce vibration into occ upied spaces .
q Make sure that the piping does not put additional
stress on the unit.
NOTE: Do not use metal braided type eliminators on
the water piping. Metal braided eliminators are not
effective at the frequencies at which the unit will
operate.
Clearances
Provide enough space around the unit to allow the
installation and maintenance personnel unrestricted
access to all service points. Refer to submittal
drawings for the unit dimensions.
Allow adequate clearance for condenser and
compressor servicing. A minimum of three feet is
recommended for compressor service and to provide
sufficient clearance for the opening of control panel
doors. Refer to
required for condenser tube service. In all cases,
local codes will take precedence over these
recommendations.
Figure 4
for minimum clearances
NOTES: Required vertical clearance above the unit
is 36” (914.4 mm). There should be no piping or
conduit located over the compressor motor.
If the room configuration requires a variance to the
clearance dimensions, contact your Trane sales
office representative.
Once in place, level the chiller within 1/4” (6.35 mm)
over its length and width.

NOTE: Maximum clearances are given. Depending on the unit configuration, some units may require less
clearance than others in the same category.
Ventilation
The unit produces heat even though the compressor
is cooled by the refrigerant. Make provisions to
remove heat generated by unit operation from the
equipment room. Ventilation must be adequate to
maintain an ambient temperature lower than 122°F
(50°C).
Vent the evaporator, condenser and compressor
pressure relief valves in accordance with all local and

NOTE: The electrical panel side of the unit is
designated as the “front” of the unit.
1 Check unit level end-to-end by placing a level on
the top surface of the evaporator shell.
2 If there is insufficient surface available on the top
of the evaporator shell, attach a magnetic level to
the bottom of the shell to level the unit. The unit
should be level to within 1/4” (6.35 mm) over its
length.
Make water piping connections to the evaporator and
condenser. Isolate and support piping to prevent
stress on the unit. Construct piping according to local
and national codes. Insulate and flush piping before
connecting to unit.
Use grooved pipe connectors for all water piping
connections. Evaporator and condenser water inlet
and outlet sizes and locations are shown by the unit
submittals and in
Figure 10
through
Figure 12
. The
designation in the tables corresponds to the
compressor frame code followed by the evaporator
shell code followed by the condenser shell code as
given in the unit model number, digits 6, 7, 12, 13,
16, and 17.
Table 11
gives additional water
connection information.
Reversing Water Boxes
All water boxes may be reversed end-for-end. Do not
rotate water boxes. Remove the sensors from the
wells before removing the water box. Complete the
water box switch procedure and replace the sensors.
See
Figure 10
through
Figure 12
for correct
orientation of the water inlet and outlet.
If the water boxes are reversed, be sure to properly
rewire the water temperature sensors in the control
panel.
NOTE: Be certain to replace water boxes right-sideup to maintain proper baffle orientation. Use new orings.
3 Place the level on the evaporator shell tube sheet
support to check side-to-side (front-to-back) level.
Adjust to within 1/4” (6.35 mm) of level front-toback.
NOTE: The evaporator MUST be level for optimum
heat transfer and unit performance.
4 Use full-length shims to level the unit.

Vents and Drains
Install pipe plugs in evaporator and condenser water
box drain and vent connections before filling the
water systems.
To drain water, remove vent and drain plugs, install a
NPT connector in the drain connection and connect a
hose to it.
Evaporator Piping Components
NOTE: Make sure all piping components are
between the shutoff valves, so that isolation can be
accomplished on both the condenser and the
evaporator.
“Piping components” include all devices and controls
used to provide proper water system operation and
unit operating safety. These components and their
general locations are given below.

CAUTION
CAUTION: To prevent evaporator
damage, do not exceed 150 psig (10. 3
bar) evaporator water pressure for
standard water boxes. Maximum
pressure for high pressure water
boxes is 300 psig (20.7 bar). Ref e r to
digit 14 of the Model No.
To prevent tube damage, install a
strainer in the evaporator water inlet
piping.
To prevent tube corrosion, ensure
that the initial water fill has a balanced pH.

Water Treatment
CAUTION
CAUTION: Water Treatment!
Do not use untreated or improperly
treated water. Use of untreated or
improperly treated water may result i n
equipment damage.
Using untreated or improperly treated water in these
units may result in inefficient operation and possible
tube damage. Consult a qualified water treatment
specialist to determine whether treatment is needed.
The following disclamatory label is provided on each
RTHC unit:
The use of improperly treated or untreated
water in this equipment may result in scaling,
erosion, corrosion, algae or slime. The
services of a qualified water treatment
specialist should be engaged to determine
what treatment, if any, is advisable. The Trane
Company warranty specifically excludes
liability for corrosion, erosion or deterioration
of Trane equipment. Trane assumes no
responsibilities for the results of the use of
untreated or improperly treated water, or
saline or brackish water.
To prevent tube corrosion, ensure
that the initial water fill has a balanced pH.
Condenser Water Regulating Valve
The water regulating valve is used when the
condenser water temperature is expected to fall
below 60°F. It maintains condensing pressure and
temperature by throttling water flow leaving the
condenser in response to condenser pressure or
differential system pressu re s.
Adjust the valve for proper operation during unit startup.

Water Pressure Gauges and
Thermometers
Install field-supplied thermometers and pressure
gauges (with manifolds, whenever practical) as
shown in
in a straight run of pipe; avoid placement near
elbows, etc. Be sure to install the gauges at the same
Figure 16
Typical Thermometer, V al ving, and Manifold Pressure Gauge Set-up

. Locate pressure gauges or taps
elevation on each shell if the shells have oppositeend water connections.
To read manifolded water pressure gauges, open
one valve and close the other (depending upon the
reading desired). This eliminates errors resulting
from differently calibrated gauges installed at
unmatched elevations.

Water Pressure Relief Valves
CAUTION
CAUTION: Install a pressure relief
valve in both evaporator and condenser water systems. Failure to do
so could result in shell damage.
Install a water pressure relief valve in one of the
condenser and one of the evaporator water box drain
connections or on the shell side of any shutoff valve.
Water vessels with close-coupled shutoff valves have
a high potential for hydrostatic pressure buildup on a
water temperature increase. Refer to applicable
codes for relief valve installation guidelines.

Refrigerant Pressure Relief Valve Venting
To prevent injury due to inhalation
of HFC-134 gas, do not discharge
refrigerant anywhere. If multiple
chillers are installed, each unit
must have separate venting for its
relief valves. Consult local regulations for any special relief line
requirements.
NOTE: Vent pipe size must conform to the ANSI/
ASHRAE Standard 15 for vent pipe sizing. All
federal, state, and local codes take precedence over
any suggestions stated in this manual.
All relief valve venting is the responsibility of the
installing contractor.
All RTHC units use evaporator, compressor, and

General Recommendations
For proper electrical component operation, do not
locate the unit in areas exposed to dust, dirt,
corrosive fumes, or excessive humidity. If any of
these conditions exist, corrective action must be
taken.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage! Disconnect all
electrical power, including remote
disconnects before servicing. Failure to disconnect power before
servicing can cause severe personal injury or death.
All wiring must comply with local and National
Electric Codes. Minimum circuit ampacities and other
unit electrical data is on the unit nameplate. See the
unit order specifications for actual electrical data.
Specific electrical schematics and connection
diagrams are shipped with the unit.
NOTE: typical wiring diagrams are in the back of this
manual.
Do not allow conduit to interfere with other
components, structural members or equipment. All
conduit must be long enough to allow compressor
and starter removal.
NOTE: To prevent control malfunctions, do not run
low voltage wiring (<30V) in conduit with conductors
carrying more than 30 volts.
Power Supply Wiring
Model RTHC chillers are designed according to NEC
Article 310-15; therefore, all power supply wiring
must be sized and selected accordingly by the
project engineer.
For a complete discussion on the use of conductors,
see Trane Engineering Bulletin EB-MSCR-40.
Refer to Trane Engineering Bulletin CTV-EB-93 for
power wire sizing.
Water Pump Power Supply
Provide power supply wiring with fused disconnect
for both the chilled water and condenser water
pumps.
CAUTION
CAUTION: It is strongly recommended that only copper conductors
be used! Unit terminals are not
designed to accept other types of
conductors. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the equipment.

Article 440-22(a).
Compressor Motor Phase Sequencing
Always verify that proper rotation of the Series R
compressor is established before the machine is
started. Proper motor rotation requires confirmation
of the electrical phase sequence of the power supply.
The motor is internally connected for clockwise
rotation with incoming power supply phased A, B, C.
To confirm the correct phase sequence (ABC), use a
Model 45 Associated Research Phase indicator or
equivalent.
Basically, voltages generated in each phase of a
polyphase alternator or circuit are called phase
voltages. In a three-phase circuit, three sine wave
voltages are generated, differing in phase by 120
electrical degrees. The order in which the three
voltages of a three-phase system succeed one
another is called phase sequence or phase rotation.
This is determined by the direction of rotation of the
alternator. When rotation is clockwise, phase
sequence is usually called “ABC,” when
counterclockwise, “CBA.”

4 Turn power on by closing the unit supply power
disconnect switch.
5 Read the phase sequence on the indicator. The
“ABC” indicator on the face of the phase indicator
will glow if phase is “ABC”.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage! Disconnect all
electrical power, including remote
disconnects before servicing. Failure to disconnect power before
servicing can cause severe personal injury or death.
6 If the “CBA” indicator glows instead, open the unit
main power disconnect and switch two line leads
on the line power terminal block (or the unit
mounted disconnect). Reclose the main power
disconnect and recheck phasing.
This direction may be reversed outside the alternator
by interchanging any two of the line wires. It is this
possible interchange of wiring that makes a phase
sequence indicator necessary if the operator is to
quickly determine the phase rotation of the motor.
Correcting Improper Electrical Phase
Sequence
Proper compressor motor electrical phasing can be
quickly determined and corrected before starting the
unit. If using an Associated Research Model 45
Phase Sequence Indicator, follow this procedure:
1 Press the STOP button to insure the unit will not
attempt to start the compressor.
2 Open the electrical disconnect or circuit protection
switch that provides line power to the line power
terminal block in the control panel (or to the unitmounted disconnect).
3 Connect the phase sequence indicator leads to
the line power terminal block (or the unit mounted
7 Reopen the unit disconnect and disconnect the
phase indicator.
Compressor Motor Power Wiring
Provide line voltage wiring from the starter/control
panel to the proper terminals in the compressor
motor junction box. See
motor wire sizing information.
Terminal Lugs.
Proper starter/control panel line-side lug sizes are
specified on the starter submittals. These lug sizes
must be compatible with conductor sizes specified by
the electrical engineer or contractor. Appropriate lug
sizes are provided.
Rated Load Ampacity (RLA)
The compressor motor RLA for a particular chiller is
determined by the field selection program and
indicated on the compressor nameplate.

for
Installation, Operation and Maintenance3 - 3
Page 54
Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA)
The MCA is equal to 1.25 x the compressor RLA (on

Maximum Fuse/Circuit Breaker Size
The maximum fuse/circuit breaker size is equal to
2.25 x the compressor RLA in accordance with UL
1995, para. 36.15.
The recommended dual element (RDE) fuse size is
equal to 1.75 x RLA in accordance with NEC Table
430-152.

closes, which bypasses the SCRs. The bypassing of
the SCRs eliminates the inefficiencies and heating
that would result if they carried current continuously.
The contactor, however, will experience greatly
reduced contact wear and increased life, since it only
has to carry running currents and neither has to
make or break the inductive motor load.
In the unlikely event that the motor does not come up
to speed within the factory Maximum Acceleration
time, the contactor will be pulled in by the UCP2
starter module and the motor will be put directly
across the line for full starting torque availability.
However, if the associated transient to the power
system is unacceptable, UCP2 can be programmed
to instead abort the start upon failure to accelerate.
Refer to Section 4 for UCP2 settings and
descriptions.
On RTHC chillers, solid-state starters are connected
“inside the delta” of the motor connection. This
means that, whereas most solid-state starters may
be applied “in the line connection”, on the RTHC
chiller each SCR pair is connected in series with a
motor winding coil. When applied in this fashion the
solid-state starter provides reduced inrush starting
with smaller, more economical controls, which will
see about 57% of the line current. The connections
between the line, the main circuit breaker, the solidstate starter, and the compressor motor terminals is
illustrated in
Figure 18
.
Note: Lug sizes are dependent on starter type
Application Of Solid-state Starters
The starter is a pre-wired platform consisting of a 3pole bypass contactor mounted in parallel with three
triacs (each composed of a pair of back to back
Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs)), and two gating/
logic/controller PC boards. The SCRs control the
inrush currents to the motor until it is up to speed,
through cycle by cycle “switching” of the voltage
applied to the motor winding. Such a reduced voltage
starting method reduces, significantly, the high inrush
currents normally associated with an across the line
starting method. This in turn reduces the voltage
dips that would otherwise be experienced by the
power system during startup, as well as limiting
starting torque and motor stator heat up rates and
their accompanying motor stresses.
The current is controlled according to a factory preset
ramp time and current limit settings on the starter.
Once the motor is fully up to speed, the contactor
Starters are selected and control settings are made
for a given compressor motor maximum amp rating,
voltage and frequency. Selected starters are from
the Eaton Eazy-Start EA product family. In general
the nominal ratings were reduced about 10% to allow
operation in ambients up to 122°F. These control
settings should not be reduced for the same model
chiller, which happens to have a lower nameplate
marking because of different application conditions.
All chillers must be capable of starting under the
worst-case starting conditions (typically 90° F
entering the chiller). Under these conditions the
starter must provide the necessary torque to start the
motor. For a given motor design, regardless of the
chiller’s nameplate marking, the required starting
current is a prescribed value. The solid-state starter
selected for each chiller has taken this into account,
and control settings have been prescribed so the
chiller starts reliably.
If the starter control settings are lowered, chances
are that the motor may not come up to full speed in
the available time, and the motor will then
momentarily draw full locked rotor current when the
3 - 4RTHC-IOM-1C
Page 55
bypass contactor closes. This would result in line
voltage dips and dimming of lights whenever the
chiller starts, and should be avoided. Following the
prescribed selections and control settings will result
in reliable chiller starting, while maximizing motor and
contactor life.
Selections in the following table are based on the
following startup ramp. The initial current is limited to
200% of the max compressor rated load amps. Over
a period of 5 seconds the inrush is allowed to
increase to a value approximately equal to 300% of
the max load amps. These settings produce reliable
starting over the chiller’s operating range. For the
controller settings prescribed, the compressor motor
comes up to full speed consistently within the
Maximum Accelera tion T im e as facto ry set on U CP2.

Acceleration Timer.

Precautions When Using Solid-State Starters
When using solid-state starters, there are two precautions
servicing personnel need to be aware of.

Be Certain To Disconnect All

3 - 6RTHC-IOM-1C
The “In the Phase” starter does not remove voltage
from any of the six motor leads when it is off. Three
of the six motor leads remain directly connected to
line voltage with respect to ground. The remaining
three terminals are pulled up to the line voltage
through the motor impedance of each phase. See
Figure 18

Note that even a Solid State Starter with its triacs “in
the line” represent a similar hazard. Should a person
contact any of the motor terminals, even with the
motor off, the triac “off-state” leakage and finite
snubber impedance would be enough to cause a
severe, even fatal, electrical shock. In the case of the
“in the phase” starter, the currents available could be
quite high, as little or no impedence would be in
series with the voltage source.

BREAKER OPENED.
EVEN WHEN THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT
RUNNING, VOLTAGE IS PRESENT AT THE
COMPRESSOR MOTOR TERMINALS,
PROVIDING THE POTENTIAL FOR CURRENT TO
FLOW THROUGH A LOW IMPEDANCE PATH.
As the chiller is evacuated below atmospheric
pressure, the dielectric strength (resistance to arcing)
of the gaseous atmosphere is significantly reduced.
Because the SCRs are connected “inside the delta,”
three of the motor terminals are connected directly to
the line voltage. An “arc over” can occur between
motor terminals under conditions seen in the
evacuation process. If this occurs the circuit breaker
(or other external protective devices) will trip in
response to high fault currents, and motor damage
may also occur. This can be avoided through being
certain that the chil ler is
fully disconnected from all
power sources before beginning pumpdown or
evacuation procedures
, as well as guaranteeing
that the disconnect cannot be accidentally closed
while the chiller is in a vacuum.
WARNING
Contacting any of the motor terminals, even with the motor off can
cause a severe, potentially fatal,
shock.

load.
Chilled Water Pump Control*
The chiller module (1U1) provides a contact closure
output (J12-1, J12-2) to control the chilled water
pump starter. This contact closure pulls in when the
Installation, Operation and Maintenance3 - 9
Page 60
external auto stop input is closed and opens when
the timeout period, specified in the Service Settings
group, expires after the external auto stop input
opens.
Chilled Water Flow Interlock
The chiller module (1U1) requires a control voltage
contact input (1TB3-14, J26-1) through a flow proving
switch (5S1) and an auxiliary contact (5K1 AUX) from
the chilled water pump starter that provides proof of
flow.
Relay 3 - Programmable*
The chiller module (1U1) provides a normally open
(J20-2, J20-1) contact closure output that may be
used to remotely indicate a load limit condition
(condenser, evaporator or current) existed for more
than 20 minutes.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT cycle the chiller through
starting and stopping the chilled water pump. This
will cause the compressor to shut down full y loaded.
Use the externalstop/start input to cycle the chiller.
Condenser Water Pump Control*
The chiller module (1U1) provides a contact closure
output (J14-1, J14-2) to control the condenser water
pump starter. This contact closure pulls in anytime
the UCP2 generates a need for cooling based on the
leaving chilled water temperature versus setpoint
and opens when the compressor is stopped.
Condenser Water Flow Interlock
The chiller module (1U2) requires a control voltage
contact input (1TB3-15, J28-2) through a flow proving
switch (5S2) and an auxiliary contact (5K2 AUX) from
the condenser water pump starter that provides proof
of flow.
NOTE: The following three connections have
programmable functions. Each relay can be
configured individually as an alarm contact,
compressor contact, or a limit warning contact.
Their default functions are described as follows.
See Section 5, Service Settings for details on
other functions that can be assigned to these
contacts.
Relay 1 - Programmable*
The chiller module (1U1) provides a normally open
(J16-3, J16-1) and a normally closed (J16-3, J16-2)
contact closure output that may be used to remotely
indicate the compressor is running in any mode
except Run Unload.
Relay 2 - Programmable*
The chiller module (1U1) provides a normally open
(J18-3, J18-1) and a normally closed (J18-3, J18-2)
contact closure output that may be used to remotely
indicate a latching diagnostic exists.

Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor
The chiller module (1U1) provides for connection (J55, J5-6) of an outdoor air temperature sensor (5RT1)
that may be used for outdoor air chilled water reset.
The UCP2 contains the logic required, based on
menu items selected, to perform these functions.
External Auto Stop
The chiller module (1U1) provides a dry contact input
(J5-1, J5-2) that must be used to enable or disable
the chiller from a remote location, unless a Tracer is
performing this function. If this feature is not used, a
jumper must be placed across this input. If the chilled
water pump is controlled by the UCP2 (chiller module
J12-2, J12-1), the external auto stop will start and
stop the pump as described above.
Emergency Stop
The chiller module (1U1) provides a dry contact input
(J5-3, J5-4) that may be used to immediately shut the
chiller down. If this feature is not used, a jumper must
be placed across this input.
This method of
stopping the chiller should only be used for
emergency shutdowns
, because the slide valve will
3 - 10RTHC-IOM-1C
Page 61
not have a chance to return to the unloaded position
for the next startup.
NOTE: A “panic” stop (similar to “emergency” stop)
can be manually commanded using the Clear
Language Display. By pressing the STOP button
twice in a row, the chiller will immediately shut down,
but without creating a latching diagnostic.
Tracer Controlled Contact
The options module (1U5) provides a Tracercontrolled relay normally open contact closure output
(J18-1, J18-3) and normally closed contact output
(J18-2, J18-3). This feature can be used for any
customer-specified requirement, via programming
Tracer to energize this relay.
The CLD Stop, Tr acer, commanded stop, or External
Auto Stop are acceptable routine stops. In these
cases, a pre-stop run-unload period is allowed for the
compressor to fully unload prior to shutdown.
Operation and diagnostics are discussed in detail in
sections 5 and 10.
External Base Loading
The chiller module (1U1) provides for external hard-
wired control of the chiller in a mode known as “base
loading.”
Primarily for process control requirements, base
loading provides for immediate start and loading of a
chiller up to an externally or remotely adjustable
current limit setpoint without regard to differential to
start or stop, or to leaving water temperature control.
This allows the flexibility to prestart or preload a
chiller in anticipation of a large load application. It
also allows you to keep a chiller on line between
processes when leaving water temperature control
would normally cycle the unit.
This feature is controllable either through a Tracer
communication interface or a 4-20mA or 2-10VDC
hard-wired analog input (J7-11, J7-12) with a binary
input (J7-1, J7-2) for enable/disable. When the binary
input is closed, the base load function will be enabled
and the chiller will attempt to start (subject to all
normal safeties and interlocks. The chiller will then
load up to a current limit defined by the analog input.
a 2VDC or 4 mA input corresponds to a base load of
40% RLA and a 10 VDC or 20 mA input corresponds
to 100% RLA. Dip switch SW2-1 must be set ON for
4-20 mA operation.
Head Relief Request Contact
The options module (1U5) provides a contact closure
output (J12-1, J12-2) that may be used to control
indicating and/or auxiliary equipment in emergency
situations, to provide additional heat rejection
requirements. Note that this contact closes at an
extreme head condition and should not be used for
normal cycling of heat rejection equipment.
Ice Making Contact
The options module (1U5) provides a relay contact
closure output (J8-1, J8-2) that is energized any time
the UCP2 is in the ice making mode. This contact
can be used for any customer-specified logic such as
controlling valves and pumps and transition to normal
cooling after ice-making is complete.
Ice Machine Control
The options module (1U5) uses a dry contact input
(J3-7, J3-8) to enable the chiller in ice-making mode.
When this contact input is closed, the chiller will use
the evaporator return water temperature sensor input
and the active ice termination setpoint to determine if
ice making is required. Ice machine control must be
enabled in the UCP2 machine configuration group to
perform this function.
External Chilled Water Setpoint
The options module (1U5) will accept either a 2-10
VDC or a 4-20 mA input (J9-4, J9-5) signal, to adjust
the chilled water setpoint from a remote location. DIP
switch SW3-1 must be set to ON fo r 4-20 mA or OFF
for 2-10 VDC. The 2-10VDC or 4-20 mA input
corresponds to a 0-65 F chilled water setpoint range,
i.e. 2VDC or 4mA corresponds to 0 F and 10VDC or
20mA corresponds to 65°F.
Both external chilled water setpoint and current limit
setpoint must use the same input type. External
chilled water setpoint input must be installed and the
type selected in the UCP2 machine configuration
group.
External Current Limit Setpoint
The options module (1U5) will accept either a 210VDC or a 4-20mA input (J7-11, J7-12) signal to
adjust the current limit setpoint from a remote
location. DIP switch SW2-1 must be set to ON for 420mA or OFF for 2-10VDC. The 2-10VDC or 4-20mA
input corresponds to a 40-120 percent current limit
setpoint range i.e. 2VDC or 4 mA corresponds to 40
percent and 10VDC or 20mA corresponds to 120
percent.
Installation, Operation and Maintenance3 - 11
Page 62
Both external chilled water setpoint and current limit
setpoint must use the same input type. External
current limit setpoint input must be installed and the
type selected in the UCP2 machine configuration
group.
Tracer Temperature Sensor Option
The options module (1U5) accepts input (J7-7, J7-8)
from a temperature sensor (5RT2) that may be used
by Tracer for chilled water reset, ambient lockout, or
other user-specified functions performed by the
Tracer logic.
Percent Condenser Pr ess ure Ou tp ut
The options module (1U5) provides a 2-10 VDC
output (J7-1, J7-2) signal that is proportional to the
percent condenser pressure. At 2 VDC output, the
condenser pressure is 0 psia and at 10 VDC output,
the condenser pressure is equal to the high pressure
cutout (psia) specified in the UCP2 machine
configuration group. This output may be used for any
user-specified function such as cooling tower water
temperature control or input to a generic building
automation system. Note that in many applications
such as to w er c on t ro l, ev en t s must take p l ac e be f o re
reaching either end of the scale, and an appropriate
band must be selected for proper, steady control.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the controlled
device for setup.
Compressor Percent RLA Output

output (J7-3, J7-4) signal that is proportional to the
percent compressor RLA.

Refrigeration (Cooling) Cycle
The refrigeration cycle of the Series R chiller is
conceptually similar to that of other Trane chiller
products. It makes use of a shell-and-tube
evaporator design with refrigerant evaporating on the
shell side and water flowing inside tubes having
enhanced surfaces.
The compressor is a twin-rotor helical rotary type. It
uses a suction gas-cooled motor that operates at
lower motor temperatures under continuous full and
part load operating conditions. An oil management
system provides oil-free refrigerant to the shells to
maximize heat transfer performance, while providing
lubrication and rotor sealing to the compressor. The
lubrication system ensures long compressor life and
contributes to quiet operation.
Condensing is accomplished in a shell-and-tube heat
exchanger where refrigerant is condensed on the
shell side and water flows internally in the tubes.
Refrigerant is metered through the flow system using
an electronic expansion valve, that maximizes chiller
efficiency at part load.
A unit-mounted starter and control panel is provided
on every chiller. Microprocessor-b ased unit control
modules (UCP2) provide for accurate chilled water
control as well as monitoring, protection and adaptive
limit functions. The “adaptive” nature of the controls
intelligently prevents the chiller from operating
outside o f its limi ts, or compensates for unusual
operating conditions, while keeping the chiller
running rather than simply tripping due to a safety
concern. When problems do occur, diagnostic
messages assist the operator in troubleshooting.
Cycle Description
The refrigeration cycle for the RTHC chiller can be
described using the pressure-enthalpy diagram
shown in
on the figure and are referenced in the discussion
following. A schematic of the system showing the
refrigerant flow loop as well as the lubricant flow loop
is shown in
Evaporation of refrigerant occurs in the evaporator
that maximizes the heat transfer performance of the
heat exchanger while minimizing the amount of
refrigerant charge required. A metered amount of
refrigerant liquid enters a distribution system in the
evaporator shell and is then distributed to the tubes
in the evaporator tube bundle. The refrigerant
vaporizes as it cools the water flowing through the
Figure 25

. Key State Points are indicated
.
evaporator tubes. Refrigerant vapor leaves the
evaporator as saturated vapor (State Pt. 1).
The refrigerant vapor generated in the evaporator
flows to the suction end of the compressor where it
enters the motor compartment of the suction-gascooled motor. The refrigerant flows across the motor,
providing the necessary cooling, then enters the
compression chamber. Refrigerant is compressed in
the compressor to discharge pressure conditio ns.
Simultaneously, lubricant is injected into the
compressor for two purposes: (1) to lubricate the
rolling element bearings, and (2) to seal the very
small clearances betw een the compressor’s twin
rotors. Immediately following the compression
process the lubricant and refrigerant are effectively
divided using an oil separator. The oil-free refrigerant
vapor enters the condenser at State Pt. 2. The
lubrication and oil management issues are discussed
in more detail in the compressor description and oil
management sections that follow.
Baffles within the condense r sh ell dist ribut e th e
compressed refrigerant vapor evenly across the
condenser tube bundle. Cooling tower water,
circulating through the condenser tubes, absorbs
heat from this refrigerant and condenses it.
As the refrigerant leaves the bottom of the condenser
(State Pt. 3), it enters an integral subcooler where it
is subcooled before traveling to the electronic
expansion valve (State Pt. 4). The pressure drop
created by the expansion process vaporizes a
portion of the liquid refrigerant. The resulting mixture
of liquid and gaseous refrigerant then enters the
liquid-vapor separator chamber (State Pt. 5). At this
point the av a il a bl e r ef ri g er an t va po r i s r o ute d di r e ctly
to the compressor suction (State Pt. 1). All remaining
liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator (State Pt. 6).
The RTHC chiller maximizes the evaporator heat
transfer performance while minimizing refrigerant
charge requirements. This is accomplished by
metering the liquid refrigerant flow to the
evaporator’s distribution system using the electronic
expansion valve. A relatively low liquid level is
maintained in the evaporator shell, which contains a
bit of surplus refriger ant liquid and accumulated
lubricant. A liquid level measurement device
monitors this level and provides feedback information
to the UCP2 unit controller, which commands the
electronic expansion valve to reposition when
necessary. If the level rises, the expansion valve is
closed slightly, and if the level is dropping, the valve
is opened slightly such that a steady level is
maintained.

The compressor used by the Series R chiller consists
of three distinct sections: the motor, the rotors and
the bearing housing. Refer to
Figure 27
.
Compressor Motor
A two-pole, hermetic, squirrel-cage induction motor
directly drives the compressor rotors. The motor is
cooled by suction vapor drawn from the evaporator
and entering the end of the motor housing
27)
.
(Figure
valve unloading lowers refrigeration capacity by
reducing the compression surface of the rotors.
Slide Valve Movement
Movement of the slide valve piston (
Figure 27
)
determines slide valve position which, in turn,
regulates compressor capacity. Compressed vapor
flowing into and out of the cylinder governs piston
movement, and is controlled by the load and unload
solenoid valves, 4L2 and 4L3.
Compressor Rotors
Each Series R chiller uses a semi-hermetic, directdrive helical rotary type compressor. Excluding the
bearings, each compressor has only 3 moving parts:
2 rotors - “male” and “female” - provide compression,
and a slide valve that controls capacity. See
27
. The male rotor is attached to, and driven by, the
Figure
motor, and the female rotor is, in turn, driven by the
male rotor. Separately housed bearing sets are
provided at each end of both rotors on the RTHC
units. The slide valve is located below (and moves
along) the rotors.
The helical rotary compressor is a positive
displacement device. As shown in
Figure 27
,
refrigerant from the evaporator is drawn into the
suction opening at the end of the motor section. The
gas is drawn across the motor, cooling it, and then
into the rotor section. It is then compressed and
released directly into the discharge plenum.
There is no physical contact between the rotors and
compressor housing. Oil is injected into the bottom of
the compressor rotor section, coating both rotors and
the compressor housing interior. Although this oil
does provide rotor lubrication, its primary purpose is
to seal the clearance spaces between the rotors and
compressor housing. A positive seal between these
internal parts enhances compressor efficiency by
limiting leakage between the high pressure and low
pressure cavities.
Capacity control is accomplished by means of a slide
valve assembly located in the rotor/bearing housing
sections of the compressor. Positioned along the
bottom of the rotors, the slide valve is driven by a
piston/cylinder along an axis that parallels those of
the rotors (
Figure 27
).
Compressor load condition is dictated by the
coverage of the rotors by the slide valve. When the
slide valve fully covers the rotors, the compressor is
fully loaded. Unloading occurs as the slide valve
moves away from the suction end of the rotors. Slide
The solenoid valves (both normally closed) receive
“load” and “unload” signals from the UCP2, based on
system cooling requirements. To load the
compressor, the UCP2 opens the load solenoid valve
(4L2). The pressurized vapor flow then enters the
cylinder and, with the help of the lower suction
pressure acting on the face of the unloader valve,
moves the piston over the rotors toward the suction
end of the compressor.
The compressor is unloaded when the unload
solenoid valve (4L3) is open. Vapor “trapped” within
the cylinder is drawn out into the lower-pressure
suction area of the compressor. As the pressurized
vapor leaves the cylinder, the slide valve slowly
moves away from the rotors toward the discharge
end of the rotors.
When both solenoid valves are closed, the present
level of compressor loading is maintained.
On compressor shutdown, the unload solenoid valve
is energized. Springs assist in moving the slide valve
to the fully-unloaded position, so the unit always
starts fully unloaded.
Oil Management System
Oil Separator
The oil separator consists of a vertic al cy li nd er
surrounding an exit passageway. Once oil is injected
into the compressor rotors, it mixes with compressed
refrigerant vapor and is discharged directly into the
oil separator. As the refrigerant-and-oil mixture is
discharged into the oil separator, the oil is forced
outward by centrifugal force, collects on the walls of
the cylinder and drains to the bottom of the oil
separator cylinder. The accumulated oil then drains
out of the cylinder and collects in the oil sump located
near the bottom of the chiller.

Oil that collects in the oil tank sump is at condensing
pressure during compressor operation; therefore, oil
is constantly moving to lower pressure areas.
Oil Flow Protection
Oil flowing through the lubrication circuit flows from
the oil sump to the compressor (see
Figure 28
). As
the oil leaves the oil sump, it passes through two
service valves, an oil cooler (if used), oil filter, and
master solenoid valve. Oil flow then splits into two
distinct paths, each performing a separate function:
(1) bearing lubrication and cooling, and (2)
compressor oil injection.
Oil flow and quality is proven through a combination
of a number of sensors, most notably two differential
pressure switches and the optical oil level sensor.
If for any reason oil flow is obstructed because of a
plugged oil filter, closed service valve, faulty master
solenoid, or other source, a differential pressure (DP)
switch will give a “high” reading (as factorycalibrated) and shut down the chiller. The differential
pressure switch is factory set to open and trip on a
pressure rise above 20 psid for systems without an
oil cooler and 35 psid for systems with an oil cooler.
Likewise, the optical oil level sensor can detect the
lack of oil in the primary oil system (which could
result from improper oil charging after servicing, or oil
logging in other parts of the system). The sensor can
prevent the compressor from starting or running
unless an adequate volume of oil is present. The
combination of these two devices, as well as
diagnostics associated with extended low system
differential pressure and low superheat conditions,
can protect the compressor from damage due to
severe conditions, component failures, or improper
operation.
If the compressor stops for any reason, the master
solenoid valve closes; this isolates the oil charge in
the sump during “off” periods. The check valves in
the primary oil system prevent reverse flow that the
solenoid valve may be unable to contain or “injectorto-bearing” oil flow immediately following compressor
shutdown. Such flows would otherwise clear out oil
from the lines and the oil sump, which is an
undesirable effect.
T o ensure the required system differential pressure is
adequate to move oil to the compressor, the UCP2
monitors both the 7.7 psid differential switch mounted
between the evaporator and the condenser and the
temperature sensors mounted in both the evaporator
4 - 6RTHC-IOM-1C
Page 69
and condenser. If the differential is lower than
required, the unit will latch out and may start a “low
system differential restart inhibit timer,” if necessary,
to cool the rotors.
To ensure proper lubrication and minimize refrigerant
condensation in the oil sump, a heater is mounted on
the side of the oil sump. A signal from the UCP2
energizes this heater during the compressor off cycle
to maintain proper oil temperature. The heater
element is continuously energized while the
compressor is of f an d does no t cycl e on te mpe rat ure.
Oil Filter
All Series R chillers are equipped with replaceableelement oil filters. Each removes any impurities that
could foul the compressor internal oil supply
galleries. This also prevents excessive wear of
compressor rotor and bearing surfaces and promotes
long bearing life. Refer to the Section 9 for
recommended filter element replacement intervals.
Compressor Bearing Oil Supply
Oil is injected into the rotor housing where it is routed
to the bearing groups located in the motor and
bearing housing sections. Each bearing housing is
vented to compressor suction so oil leaving the
bearings returns through the compressor rotors to
the oil separator.
Lubricant Recovery
Gas Pump
Despite the high efficiency of the oil separators, a
small percentage of oil will get past them, move
through the condenser, and eventually end up in the
evaporator. This oil must be recovered and returned
to the oil sump. The function of active oil return is
accomplished by a pressure-actuated pump referred
to as the “gas pump.”
Compressor Rotor Oil Supply
Oil flowing through this circuit enters the bottom of
the compressor rotor housing. From there it is
injected along the rotors to seal clearance spaces
around the rotors and lubricate the contact line
between the male and female rotors.
Installation, Operation and Maintenance4 - 7
Page 70
The gas pump, mounted just beneath the evaporator,
is a cylinder with four ports controlled by two
solenoids. The pump serves to return accumulating
oil in the evaporator to the compressor at regular
time intervals. As the refrigerant-oil mixture enters
the gas pump from the bottom of the evaporator, a fill
solenoid opens to allow refrigerant vapor to be
vented into the top of the evaporator, and is then
closed. A second solenoid then opens to allow
refrigerant at condenser pressure to enter the gas
pump. Simultaneously, a check valve prevents
reverse flow back into the evaporator. A liquid
refrigerant and oil mixture is displaced from the gas
pump cylinder and is directed through a filter to the
compressor. The oil then combines with oil injected
into the compressor and returns to the oil sump via
the oil separators.
Oil Cooler
The oil cooler is a brazed plate heat exchanger
located near the oil filter. It is designed to transfer
approximately one ton of heat from the oil to the
suction side of the system. Subcooled liquid is the
cooling source.
The oil cooler is required on units running at high
condensing or low suction temperatures. The high
discharge temperatures in these applications
increase oil temperatures above the recommended
limits for adequate lubrication and reduce the
viscosity of the oil.

This section contains an overview of the operator
interface with the Series R chillers equipped with
microcomputer-based control systems. It presents
the array of options available using the Clear
Language Display and the associated keypad.
The section is organized first as a discussion of the
control system and the individual modules, showing
their relationship and functions.
The remainder of the section presents information on
accessing available chiller information using the
screens to either monitor or change settings and
setpoints. This part of the section covers information
available to you by pressing each report key followed
by the settings, tests, and diagnostics keys.
The display information is for reference only and not
in the form of sequential operating or controls
instructions, although certain specific instructions as
to programming and changing settings is given. In
many cases, background information on specific key
or controls functions is provided.
In all cases, other than report data displays, caution
should be observed before changing any parameters
until the impact of the change on chiller performance
is understood.
Following this section, sections 6 and 7 cover the
actual startup and shutdown sequences.
Maintenance schedules and procedures that must be
performed to keep the unit in top condition are in
sections 8 and 9. Diagnostic information (section 10)
is provided to allow you to identify system
malfunctions.
UCP2 Microprocessor Control System
The Unit Control Panel version 2 (UCP2)
microprocessor control system is a collection of
modules and software that perform system control,
protection, and optimization functions for the RTHC
chiller. All module control elements reside in the
control panel usually “stacked” on top of one another
and mounted on the panel’s backplane. Additionally,
the Clear Language Display operator interface is
mounted on the panel door.
The “Control System Block Diagram.” on page 2
accompanies the discussion in the following
paragraphs that describe the modules and the
specific chiller operating characteristics that are
displayed and reported.
The chiller module is the central processing unit of
the chiller communicating commands to other
modules and collecting data/status/diagnostic
information from other modules over the IPC (inter
processor communications) link. The chiller module
performs the leaving chilled water temperature and

limit control algorithms, setting capacity against any
operating limit constraining the chiller.
The chiller module contains non-volati le mem or y,
checking for valid set points and retaining them on
any power loss.
Inputs and outputs include chilled water system level
input/output (I/O) such as evaporator and condenser
5 - 2RTHC-IOM-1C
Page 73
water temperatures, evaporator and condens er
water pump control, and general status and alarm
relays. Other machine inputs and outputs include
compressor load and unload pulse outputs, oil return
pump control and oil lubrication system control and
flow protection.
Stepper Module - 1U3
The stepper module is designed to drive the stepper
motor electronic expansion valve. The stepper
module uses liquid level inputs and stepper motor
outputs to run the algorithm to control liquid level in
the evaporator. The output of the control algorithm
drives the electronic expansion valve. Other module
I/O capabilities support general machine protection
and control, including evaporator and condenser
refrigerant temperatures.
Printer Interface Module - 1U7
The printer interface module provides a preformatted chiller log to the printer. The printer
interface can be programed, via the Clear Language
Display, to print a chiller log on command at the time
of a diagnostic or on a periodic basis.
Clear Language Display (CLD) - 1U4
The local Clear Language Display is mounted on the
control panel door and displays chiller data and gives
access to operation/service controls, set points and
chiller setup information or configuration. All
setpoints and other settings are stored in non-volatile
memory in the chiller module. The interface is
programmed with a variety of languages.The display
on the Clear Language Display is a two-line, 40
character liquid crystal. The display has a backlight
so that it can be read in low light conditions.
Starter Module - 1U2
The starter module provides control of the starter
when starting, running and stopping the motor. The
starter module provides interface to, and control of,
Y-Delta and solid state starters. The starter module
also provides protection to both the motor and the
compressor such as running overload, phase
reversal, phase loss, phase unbalance and
momentary power loss.
Options Module - 1U5
The options module satisfies control or interface
requirements for a number of options. Some of these
options are standalone such as generic BAS
interface. Other options support either addition s or
modifications to the chiller itself. Some features
supported by the options module are ice making,
external chilled water setpoint and external current
limit setpoint.
In addition to the alpha-numeric liquid crystal display,
a red “alarm” LED is installed that flashes ON-OFF
whenever a latching diagnostic (requiring manual
reset) is present. The red LED is also used to
indicate that a function or control has been set to
manual from within the service test menu for a
maintenance task such as oil line charging. If a
control has been set to manual, the LED is ON
continuously. If a diagnostic is active while some
function is in a manual mode, the LED will flash ONOFF. Diagnostic displays and resetting procedures
are discussed in Section 10.
A membrane keypad is used on the unit-mounted
operator interface. The keypad is sealed, making it
weather-proof and dirt-proof. The keypad has 16
keys arranged in a 4-by-4 matrix as shown in
Figure 30
.
COMM 3 or COMM 4 (Tracer Interface)1U6
Two communication modules are available for
various communication functions. One available
option provides a 9600 baud non-isolated link to
Tracer Summit (Comm 4) and another can provide a
similar, but isolated, communications link to existing
Tracer 100 systems (Comm 3).

Clear Language Display Key Assignments
Complex Character Clear Language Display
(CCCLD)
The CCCLD is available as an option. This display
functions identically to the CLD, but has a higher
resolution that can support complex character sets
such as those peculiar to Chinese, Korean, and
Kanji.
Keypad functions are identical but the keys are “soft
labeled” with the text describing them incorporated
into the display in the appropriate language.
Key Functions
Report Groups
The top row of keys on the CLD provides for “view
only” access to all the available chiller information in
the form of three major Report Groups and one userdefined Custom Report.
The Chiller, Refrigerant, and Compressor Reports
each contain a number of related items
(temperatures, pressures, currents, etc.) arranged in
a pre-determined order. (Values displayed are
updated approximately every 2 seconds.) These
items can be accessed by selecting and pressing the
desired Report key that brings up the group’s
“header” screen describing the type of information
available in that group.
may be bypassed by disabling the “Menu Headings”
feature under the Service Settings Group, in which
case the first data item in the group will be shown.)
The <Next> and <Previous> keys can then be used
to scroll from one report item to the next. As the last
item is reached, continued scrolling will cause the
(NOTE: The header screen
display to wrap around to the beginning of the report
group.
More information about what items are included in
each of the reports is provided later in this section.
The Custom Report allows you to select items from
any of the other thre e Report Groups, in any order,
so that frequently read information can be more
quickly accessed. Refer to the paragraph on Custom
Report Group Programming for information on how
to set up the Custom Report.
Settings Groups
The second row of keys provide access to all
adjustable setpoints, settings, and commands as
divided into four major Settings Groups. Items in the
Operator Settings, Service Settings, Service Tests,
and Diagnostics Group can be accessed by selecting
and pressing the desired Settings Group Key that will
bring up the Header screen describing the type of
settings available in that menu.
The <Next> and <Previous> keys allow you to move
through the menu’s items not just to view the settings
but to change them. Some items are passwordprotected; others or all, however, can be locked out
within any of these settings groups without requiring
the password. Items included in each of the Settings
Groups, as wel l as pa ssw or d pro tec ti on f eat ure s, ar e
discussed later in this section.
Changing Settings or Setpoint s
Once the particular setting is displayed on the
screen, pressing the <+> or <-> key will cause the
setting that is displayed to increment or decrement
(increase or decrease), respectively. If the <+> or <->
key is held down for more than 1/2 second, it will
increase or decrease the setting continuously, at
approximately 10 counts per second, until the key is
released. If the key is held down for 10 seconds, the
setting will change at ten times its normal
incremental value.
T o prevent inadvertent changes, a changed setting is
not stored until the <Enter> key is pressed. The
<Cancel> key may be pressed if a changed setting
should not be saved. Once the <+> or <-> key has
been pressed to change a particular setting, the
display will show that setting but not store or save it
until the <Enter> or <Cancel> key is pressed
. The
display will blank out for a moment after the <Enter>
key is pressed, to indicate to the user that the key
stroke has been recognized.

STOP, AUTO
The chiller will stop when the <Stop> key is pressed,
entering the run unload mode. The <Stop> key has a
red background. If <Stop> is pressed a second time
within five seconds, an immediate “panic stop” will be
executed, bypassing the normal compressor unload
period. During the five second period, a message is
displayed indicating the optional command.
If the <Stop> key is pressed again during this fivesecond period, a message will be displayed for two
seconds indicating that the panic stop is being
executed.
To execute a panic stop, first press the <Stop> key.
The message displayed during the five seconds after
the <Stop> key is pressed is:
Communications and Settings Storage
The individual modules identified earlier in this
section communicate via the InterProcessor
Communication (IPC) link. The IPC allows the
modules to work together to direct overall chiller
operation, each module handling specific functions.
In the IPC communication protocol, the 1U1 is the
initiator and arbitrator of all module communication.
The 1U1 requests “packets” of information from each
module in a preset sequence. The other modules
respond only and cannot initiate communication.
Specific IPC diagnostic techniques are discussed in
section 10.
The settings used by the unit are stored in the chiller
module, not in the Clear Language Display. The
chiller module is also responsible for verifying that
the settings memory is not corrupted. It substitutes
safe default settings if the stored settings become
corrupted and generates appropriate warnings or
diagnostics.
IF (STOP) IS PRESSED DURING THIS DISPLAY
*** A PANIC ST OP WILL BE EXECUTED ***
If the <Stop> key is pressed
again
during this five
second period, the following message will be
displayed for two seconds before reverting to the first
screen of the chiller report where the current unit
operating mode message is given. (These messages
are discussed in the chiller report section.)
*** EXECUTING PANIC STOP ***
If the <Stop> key is not pressed during this five
second period, the chiller will enter the Run Unload
mode and the display will go to the first display of the
chiller report.
If the chiller is in the Stop mode, pressing the <Auto>
key causes the chiller to go into the auto/local or
Auto/Remote mode. The <Auto> key is recognized
by its green background color.
When the <Auto> or <Stop> keys are pressed, the
display will go to the first display of the chiller report.
If there is no IPC communication between the chiller
module and the Clear Language Display at power up,
the following is displayed:
No Communications - Data Not Valid
Once IPC communications have been established,
the “Data Not Valid” display is used if all chiller
module communications are lost for more than 5
seconds.
The Clear Language Display automatically displays
the chiller operating mode (the first screen in the
chiller report) after a normal power-up or after
communications is re-established.
Internal communications with the Clear Language
Display is not necessary for the chiller to run.
However, the chiller will require Clear Language
Display communications to occur at least once in 15
seconds or an informational diagnostic screen will
result.
If the operator changes a setting that is
communicated to the chiller module but not accepted
(after 30 seconds of no key activity), the following
message is displayed at the end of the chiller report:

If many settings are changed in a short time or if
setting changes are communicated to the chiller
module but not acknowledged, the transmit buffer
may become full and not able to accept additional
changes. If that happens the following message is
displayed for 2 seconds:
Press (Next) (Previous) to Continue
If items are selected for the custom report, the report

Press (Next) (Previous) To Continue

This displ ay shows the po sition of th e EXV op en, fi rst
as a percentage of valve stroke and also in steps (02040 for smaller EXV (200 T), 0-2760 for the two
larger EXVs (300 and 400 T)). If pre-position of the
valve is required (to allow delta P to be generated)
for startup, 571 steps (28%) or 773 steps (28%),
respectively, would be displayed at that time.
Just prior to compressor start, the EXV will go into a
normal liquid level control, gradually opening, then
closing, as determined by the liqu id level sensor .
Just prior to normal compressor shutdown, at the
start of the run unload mode, the EXV opens at its
maximum rate to its wide open position. This helps
equalize the differential pressure in the system and
reduces compressor action at shutdown. Upon
shutdown, the EXV is automatically recalibrated.
The display will show the refrigerant liquid level in
inches relative to the center of the range of the liquid
level sensor as installed on the evaporator shell.
The sign “s,” either + and - or - and the modifiers “or
more” used with + measurements and “or less” used
with - measurements indicate the limited range of the
sensor. When the sensor reads +1.0 or -1.0, the
display will read +1.0 inches or more” or “-1.0 inches
or less,” indicating the sensor is at the extremes of its
range.
Normal operation should produce an evaporator
liquid level of “0” inches meaning no deviation from
the design level in the evaporator.
During normal operation and within 20 minutes of
startup, the liquid level should be well within the
sensor’s range of ±1 inch. Small variations in liquid
level of ±.3 to .5 inch during steady state or with
small load disturbances are normal.
If the liquid level remains at the extremes of its range
for a long time, this indicates problems that could
damage the compressor or severely reduce
performance.

The UCP2 will continuously monitor compressor
current to provide running overcurrent and locked
rotor protection. Overcurrent protection is based on
the phase with the highest current. It will trigger a
manually resettable diagnostic, shutting the unit
down, when the current exceeds a specified time-trip
curve.
The compressor overload is based on the unit RLA.
RLA is set in the UCP2 menu items along with the
current overload settings specific to a certain current
transformer (CT) and machine nameplate RLA. Use
the following procedure to set the current overload #1
and #2.

First determine the CT Factor where
CT Factor = Unit Nameplate RLA/ CT Rating x 100%
Look up the CT rating from the table below. The CT
Factor must be 66% or greater, but no more that
100% of the Nameplate RLA. Where more than one
selection is possible, use the CT rating that will give
the lowest CT Factor.
The range of values is 2 to 64 Sec. The ROM default
is 6 seconds. Refer to the table following for proper
settings based on compressor size. Both the
maximum acceleration timers and the overload
settings are not adjustable from either the remote
CLD or Tracer or any other remote/external device.
Adjusting this value to a longer time than suggested
for a particular compressor, is not recommended as it
can compromise the motor protection. Failure of the
motor to fully accelerate within this time will cause
either an aborted start, or an immediate starter
transition or bypass depending on the setting of the
Acceleration Time Out Action (entry below). In either
case, an appropriate diagnostic is generated.
The range of values is decimal 224 through 255. The
ROM default is 255. For security purposes the
second setting is the 8-bit one’s complement of the
first setting above. Both the maximum acceleration
timers and the overload settings are not adjustable
from either the remote CLD or Tracer or any other
remote/external devic e.
Maximum Acceleration Timer #1

Possible values for action include shutdown;
transition [non-solid state starter types only] (ROM
default); and bypass; [solid state starter types only]
(ROM default). If shutdown is selected, the start will
be aborted upon failure to accelerate. “Bypass” or
“Transition” is the recommended setting, as it will
allow the chiller to start safely in the rare event it
cannot accelerate with the reduced inrush starting
method, however, inrush currents similar to an
“across the line” starting would occur.
