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.

disconnects in the “OPEN” position and lock them.
WARNING
Disconnect and Lockout or Tagout all electrical power, including remote disconnects, before servic­ing. Failure to do so can cause severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
CAUTION: It is essential to confirm that proper phase rotation is estab­lished - Phase A to Ll, Phase B to L2, and Phase C to L3. Phase rotation must be checked with a phase sequence indicator before start-up, otherwise catastrophi c damage to the compressor may result.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Do not check the unit oil level with the unit operating. Severe oil loss will occur. Protective clothing must be worn when checking the oil level.
CAUTION
CAUTION: The compressor sump heater must be energized for a mini­mum of 24 hours prior to unit opera­tion, to prevent compressor damage caused by liquid refrigerant in the compressor at start-up.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Do not use untreated or improperly treated water. To do so may result in equipment damage.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Proper water flow through the evaporator must be established prior to unit operation.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Do not charge the com­pressor with liquid refrigerant.

Installation - Mechanical
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
national codes. Refer to “Pressure Relief Valves.” Make provisions in the equipment ro om to keep the
chiller from being exposed to freezing temperatures (32°F/0°C).
2 - 2 RTHC-IOM-1C
Water Drainage
Locate the unit near a large capacity drain for water vessel drain-down during shutdown or repair. Condensers and evaporators are provided with drain connections. Refer to “Water Piping.” All local and national codes apply.

Lifting Procedure
CAUTION
CAUTION: Unit Moving! Never use a forklift to move the unit. The skid is not designed to support the unit at any one point and using a forklift to move the equipment may cause unit damage.
NOTE: If absolutely necessary, the chiller can be pushed or pulled across a smooth surface if it is bolted to wood shipping mounts.
WARNING
Do not remove the wood mounts until the unit is in its final location. Removal of wood shipping mounts prior to unit final locating could result in injury or death and equip­ment damage.
1 When the unit is at its final location, remove the
shipping bolts that secure the unit to the wood base mounts.
2 Rig the unit properly and lift from above or jack
the unit (alternate moving method). Use the points shown on the rigging diagram that ships with the unit as shown in mounts.

Alternate Moving Method
6 If it is not possible to rig from above as shown in
the figures, the unit may also be moved by jacking each end high enough to move an equipment dolly under each tube sheet support. Once securely mounted on the dollies, the unit may be rolled into position.
W ARNING
Connect an anti-rotation strap between the lifting beam and com­pressor before lifting unit. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death should a lifting cable fail.
5 Connect an anti-rotation strap or cable loosely
between the lifting beam and the threaded coupling or eyelet provided at the top of the compressor. Use an eyebolt or clevis to secure the strap at the coupling or eyelet.
NOTE: The anti-rotation strap is not a lifting chain, but a safety device to ensure that the unit cannot tilt during lifting.
Proper jacking locations are shown in and by the rigging diagram that ships with the unit.

Isolation Pads
NOTE: The elastomeric pads shipped (as standard) are adequate for most installations. For additional details on isolation practices, refer to Trane Engineering Bulletin RLC-EB-3, or consult an acoustical engineer for sound-sensitive installations.
7 During final positioning of the unit, place the
isolation pads under the evaporator and condenser tube sheet supports as shown in

Unit Leveling
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.

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.

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

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.

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 - 4 RTHC-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. See Section 5 for factory settings of the Maximum Acceleration Timer.

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.

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

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.

1U1
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

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.

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.

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

.
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
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 - 6 RTHC-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 Maintenance 4 - 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.

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.

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

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.
5 - 4 RTHC-IOM-1C
Page 75
Note that the <Stop> and <Auto> keys act immediately and do not require the use of the <Enter> key.
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:
Installation, Operation and Maintenance 5 - 5
Setting Was Not Acknowledged By Chiller
Press (Next) (Prev) To Continue
Page 76
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 heading and the selected items are displayed sequentially as <Next> or <Previous> is pressed.
HI Xmit Buffer is Full
The Clear Language Display will generally clear its transmit buffer without the message indicating the cause of the communications problem. Persistent problems should be referred to Trane Service.
Custom Report Group - Programming Instructions
Reports are added to the custom report group by pressing the <+> key when the desired report is being displayed from its normal report location.
Reports are removed from the custom re port group by pressing the <-> key when the desired custom report is being displayed.
The custom report group can contain a maximum of 20 displays. If you attempt to add more than 20 displays, the following message:
Should no entries be selected for the custom report, however, the second entry is:
No Items Are Selected For Custom Report
See Operator’s Manual To Select Entries
The report then wraps around to the report heading when <Next> is pressed.
Chiller Report
The Chiller Report displays chiller status, water temperatures settings, and setpoints. The sequence of displays is as follows:
Chiller Status, Water Temps & Setpts
“Press (Next) (Previous) to Continue*
Continuing, the following report option is given:

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.
Saturated Evap Temperature/Evap Refrigerant Pressure
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 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.

Acceleration Time Out Action
External Current Limit Setpoint Option
Acceleration Time Out Action: [action]
Press (+)(-) to Change Setting
This setting defines the action that th starter will take if the motor is not accelerated within the maximum acceleration timer #1 above.
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.

Programmable Relay Assignments
The UCP2 allows you to program specific use of three relays on the chiller module. These relays are available for use as signaling various outputs. Use the following screens to assign specific types of events to energize particular relays.
Once assignments are determined, begin the programming function with:
Press Enter To Access
Programmable Relays
If <Next> or <Previous> is pressed, skip to the next heading item in the menu. If <Enter> is pressed, the following screens are displayed in order:

If “delta” is selected, the output voltage will be linear with the endpoints defined by th following two menu items:
NOTE: this function does not use actual measured pressures, but rather temperature sensor readings and assumes sturated conditions for R134a refrigerant.
Where [event] is one of the following:
Not Used Compressor Running (ROM Default for Programmable Relay
#1) MMR Diagnostics MAR Diagnostics MMR & MAR Diagnostics (ROM Default for Programmable
Relay #2) Chiller Limit Modes (ROM Default for Programmable Relay #3)
(20-minute filter applied).
Any assignment change must be confirmed by pressing <Enter>.
NOTE: the particular annunciator relay on the chiller module will ene rgi ze w hen the assi gne d ev ent is t rue i.e. when that mode is present for 20 minutes or more
or diagnostic type is active. The category “none” is provided to allow a relay to be turned off or defeated, as well as to document to Tracer that a given relay is not being used. However, the defaults are set to assign each of the relays according to the most common usage. For chiller Limit Mode assignment only , the following limits will apply: Current, Soft Load Current, and Phase Unbalance Limits. NOTE on Relay Ratings: Contact loads shall not exceed 120 VAC/240 VA. Minimum premissable load is 100 mA, 5 VDC. See Interconnecting Wiring (Field Wiring Required) in Section 3.
