Integrated Comfort with Trane
Tracer™ LCI
The Tracer Integrated Comfort™
System (ICS) improves job profit and
increases job control by combining
Trane rooftop air handler units with
the Trane Tracer building
management system. This integrated
system provides total building
comfort and control. Some of the
primary motivations for building
owners/managers in deciding to
purchase a HVAC controls system are
energy savings, cost control, and the
convenience of facility automation.
Simplifying the Comfort
System
Trane technology and innovation
brings more capabilities, more
flexibility, and offers equipment and
systems that are easy to use, easy to
install, commission and service. The
Tracer Integrated Comfort system
saves time and money by simplifying
system design and system
installation.
When used with Trane DDC/VAV
terminals (or VariTrane™), system
balancing almost goes away because
each VAV box is commissioned and
tested before it leaves the factory.
All the status information and editing
data from the air handler units, VAV
terminals, lighting, exhaust and other
auxiliary equipment is available from
Tracer for facility control, monitoring
and service support. Tracer, a family
of building automation products
from Trane, is designed with robust,
application specific software
IntelliPak™ II Air Handler
RT-PRC031-EN7
Features and Benefits
packages to minimize custom
programming requirements and
enable system setup and control
through simple editing of parameters
in the standard applications software.
When selecting an Integrated
Comfort system for a facility, the
accountability for equipment,
automation and controls is Trane's,
Trane's, and Trane's!
In addition to high quality, high
performance, packaged air handler,
Trane provides precise air delivery
management with VariTrane VAV
terminals.
Wireless zone sensors minimize the
installation costs of the VariTrane
terminals and the packaged air
handler system in general.
The IntelliPak™ II air handler, as a
part of an Integrated Comfort system,
provides powerful maintenance
monitoring, control and reporting
capabilities. The Tracer places the air
handler in the appropriate operating
mode for: system on/off, night
setback, demand limiting, setpoint
adjustment based on outside
parameters and much more.
Many different unit diagnostic
conditions can be monitored through
Tracer: sensor failures and loss of
supply airflow. Further, the addition
of Building Management Network
software offers remote scanning,
automatic receipt of alarms, and easy
dial-up access to over 100 various
Tracer sites across town or across the
country.

Interoperability
Trane Tracer LonTalk Control
Interface (LCI) for IntelliPak II offers a
building automation control system
with outstanding interoperability
benefits.
LonTalk, which is an industry
standard, is an open, secure and
reliable network communication
protocol for controls, created by
Echelon Corporation and adopted by
the LonMark Interoperability
Association. It has been adopted by
several standards, such as: EIA-709.1,
the Electronic Industries Alliance
(EIA) Control Network Protocol
Specification and ANSI/ASHRAE 135,
part of the American Society of
Heating, Refrigeration, and Air
Conditioning Engineer's BACnet
control standard for buildings.
Interoperability allows application or
project engineers to specify the best
products of a given type, rather than
one individual supplier's entire
system. It reduces product training
and installation costs by
standardizing communications
across products. Interoperable
systems allow building managers to
monitor and control IntelliPak II
equipment with a Trane Tracer
Summit or a 3rd party building
automation system.
It enables integration with many
different building controls such as
access/intrusion monitoring, lighting,
fire and smoke devices, energy
management, and a wide variety of
sensors (temperature, pressure,
light, humidity, occupancy, CO
air velocity). For more information on

Optimum Building
Comfort Control
The modular control design of the
UCM allows for greater application
flexibility. Customers can order
exactly the options required for the
job, rather than one large control
package. Unit features are distributed
among multiple field replaceable
printed circuit boards. The Trane
UCM can be setup to operate under
one of three control applications:
1.standalone
8RT-PRC031-EN
Features and Benefits
2. interface with Trane Tracer™
building management system
3. interface with a generic (nonTrane) building management
system. All setup parameters are
preset from the factory, requiring
less start-up time during
installation.
The unit mounted Human Interface
and the Remote Human Interface
Panels' functions are identical, with
the exception of the Service mode
which is not available on the Remote
Human Interface Panel. This common
interface feature requires less time
for building maintenance personnel
to learn to interact with the unit.
All air handler control parameters are
adjustable and can be setup through
the Remote Human Interface Panel
such as, but not limited to: system
on/off, demand limiting type, night
setback setpoints, and many other
setpoints. No potentiometers are
required for setpoint adjustment, all
adjustments are done through the
Remote Human Interface keypad.
Up to 56 different air handler
diagnostic points can be monitored
through the human interfaces such
as: sensor failures and loss of supply
airflow. No special tools are required
for servicing the unit. All diagnostic
displays are available in clear English
at the Remote Human Interface and
will be held in memory, so that the
operator/service person can
diagnose the root cause of failures.
Figure 10. Statitrac
Statitrac™ Direct Space
Building Pressurization
Control
Trane Statitrac™ control is a highly
accurate and efficient method of
maintaining building pressure
control with a large air handler.
Building space pressurization control
is achieved with a 100 percent
modulating exhaust system that
features a single forward curved fan,
with modulating discharge dampers
that operates only when needed or a
100% modulating plenum return fan
with airfoil wheel that operates
continuously with the supply fan.
Most of the operating hours of the
100 percent modulating exhaust
system are at part load, resulting in
energy savings.
Statitrac, with the 100 percent
modulating exhaust system,
provides comfort and economy for
buildings with large air handler
systems. Statitrac, with the 100%
modulating plenum return fan
provides comfort and space pressure
control in more demanding
applications with high return static
pressure, and applications requiring
duct returns.
Statitrac control with exhaust fan is
simple! The space pressure control
turns the exhaust fans on and off as
required and modulates exhaust
dampers, or VFD speed, to maintain
space pressure within the space
pressure deadband. Economizer and
return air dampers are modulated
based on ventilation control and
economizer cooling request.
The unit mounted Human Interface
Panel can be used to:
1.adjust space pressure setpoint
2. adjust space pressure deadband
3. measure and read building static
pressure
The modulating exhaust system
maintains the desired building
pressure, while saving energy and
keeping the building at the right
pressure. Proper building
pressurization eliminates annoying
door whistling, doors standing open,
and odors from other zones. The
Statitrac™ direct space building
control sequence will also be
maintained when a variable
frequency drive is used.
Statitrac Control with Plenum
Return Fan is State of the Art!
Other manufacturers utilize a fan
tracking control scheme whereby the
return fan speed tracks the supply fan
speed in a linear fashion. This
scheme works well at minimum and
maximum CFM airflow. However,
due to the dissimilar performance
characteristics of the supply and
return fan, building pressure is
difficult to control at points between
minimum and maximum CFM
airflow.
The Trane return fan/building
pressurization control system
eliminates the effects of dissimilar
supply/return fan characteristics
experienced in a linear tracking
control system by modulating the
exhaust dampers based on space
pressure, the return/economizer
dampers based on ventilation
requirements, and the return fan
speed based on return plenum static
pressure. The supply fan, return fan,
exhaust damper, and return/
economizer damper systems act
independently from one another to
maintain comfort and building
pressure.
The return fan operates whenever
the supply fan is in operation. The
unit exhaust dampers are modulated
in response to the space pressure
signal to maintain space pressure
within the space pressure deadband.
The unit economizer and return air
dampers are modulated based on
ventilation control, minimum outside
air economizer position, and
economizer cooling request. The
return fan speed is modulated based
on a return duct static pressure
deadband control. Using the unit
mounted Human Interface Panel you
can:
1.adjust space pressure setpoint
2. adjust space pressure deadband
3. measure and read building space
pressure
4. measure and read return duct
static pressure.
Proper building pressurization
eliminates annoying door whistling,
doors standing open, and odors from
other zones.
RT-PRC031-EN9
Supply Fans with Inlet Guide
Van es
Trane airfoil fans with inlet guide
vanes pre-rotate the air in the
direction of the fan wheel, decreasing
static pressure and horsepower,
essentially unloading the fan wheel.
The unloading characteristics result
in superior part load performance.
Variable Frequency Drives
(VFD)
Variable Frequency Drives are factory
installed and tested to provide
supply/exhaust/return fan motor
speed modulation. VFD's, as
compared to inlet guide vanes or
discharge dampers, are quieter, more
efficient, and may be eligible for
utility rebates. The VFD's are
available with or without a bypass
option. Bypass control will simply
provide full nominal airflow in the
event of drive failure.

Remote Human Interface

Supply Air Pressure
Control
Inlet Guide Vanes Control
Inlet guide vanes are driven by a
modulating 0-10 vdc signal from the
Rooftop Module (RTM). A pressure
transducer measures duct static
pressure, and the inlet guide vanes
are modulated to maintain the
supply air static pressure within an
adjustable user-defined range.
The range is determined by the
supply air pressure setpoint and
supply air pressure deadband, which
are set through the Human Interface
Panel or BAS/Network.
Inlet guide vane assemblies installed
on the supply fan inlets regulate fan
capacity and limit horsepower at
lower system air requirements.
When in any position other than full
open, the vanes pre-spin intake air in
the same direction as supply fan
rotation. As the vanes approach the
full-closed position, the amount of
“spin” induced by the vanes
increases at the same time that
intake airflow and fan horsepower
diminish. The inlet guide vanes will
close when the supply fan is shut
down, except during night setback.
Variable Frequency Drive
(VFD) Control
Variable frequency drives are driven
by a modulating 0-10 vdc signal from
the Rooftop Module (RTM). A
pressure transducer measures duct
static pressure, and the VFD is
modulated to maintain the supply air
static pressure within an adjustable
user-defined range.
The range is determined by the
supply air pressure setpoint and
supply air pressure deadband, which
are set through the Human Interface
Panel or BAS/Network.
Variable frequency drives provide
supply fan motor speed modulation.
The drive will accelerate or
decelerate as required to maintain
the supply static pressure setpoint.
When subjected to high ambient
return conditions the VFD will reduce
its output frequency to maintain
operation.
Bypass control is offered to provide
full nominal airflow in the event of
drive failure.
Supply Air Static Pressure
Limit
The opening of VAV terminals, and
the amount of supply air provided by
the inlet guide vanes, or variable
frequency drive are coordinated
during start up and transition to/from
Occupied/Unoccupied modes to
prevent over pressurization of the
supply air ductwork.
However, if for any reason the
supply air pressure exceeds the userdefined supply air static pressure
limit that was set at the Human
Interface Panel, the supply fan/VFD is
shut down and the inlet guide vanes
(if included) are closed.
The unit is then allowed to restart
three times. If the over pressurization
condition occurs on the third time,
the unit is shut down and a manual
reset diagnostic is set and displayed
at the Human Interface Panel and
BAS/Network.
Supply Air Temperature
Controls
Cooling/Economizer
During Occupied cooling mode of
operation, the economizer (if
available) and cooling are used to
control the supply air temperature.
The supply air temperature setpoint
and deadband are user-defined at
the Human Interface Panel.
The supply air temperature setpoint
may be user-defined from the BAS/
Network. If the conditions of the
outside air is appropriate to use
“free cooling,” the economizer will
be used first to attempt to satisfy the
supply air setpoint; then if required
the hydronic valve will be modulated
to maintain supply air temperature
setpoint.
On units with economizer, a call for
cooling will modulate the fresh air
dampers open. The rate of
economizer modulation is based on
deviation of the supply air
RT-PRC031-EN11
temperature from setpoint, i.e., the
further away from setpoint, the faster
the fresh air damper will open.
Note: The economizer is only
allowed to function freely if
one of the following
conditions is met. For dry
bulb economizer control the
ambient temperature must be
below the dry bulb
temperature control setting.
For reference enthalpy
economizer control, outdoor
air enthalpy must be below
the enthalpy control setting.
For comparative enthalpy
economizer control, outdoor
air enthalpy must be below
the enthalpy of the return air.
The outdoor air dampers may be set
for a maximum of 25 percent outdoor
air, through the unit mounted Human
Interface Panel or a signal from the
BAS/network, if the air handler is
equipped with 0 to 25 percent
motorized fresh air dampers.
A temperature sensor, located on the
entering air side of the chilled water
coil, will send a signal to the hydronic
valve to drive it full open when a
potential freeze condition is detected.
The supply fan is then turned off and
the fresh air damper is closed.
Heating
Modulating Gas
Upon a call for heating, the HEAT
module closes the heating contacts,
beginning the firing sequence. First,
the heat exchanger combustion
blower begins operation. Upon
positive proving of combustion
airflow, a 60 second pre-purge cycle
is executed. Then the ignition
sequence takes place.
If ignition is not proven, the safety
control locks out and must be
manually reset. As long as there is a
call for heat, the safety control can be
reset, which starts another purge
cycle and try for ignition.
Once ignited, as additional heat is
required, the combustion air damper
opens, increasing the firing rate.
During heating operation, an
electronic flame safety control
provides continuous flame

supervision. If combustion should
become unstable for any reason,
heating will automatically shut down
and be locked out until reset at the
unit mounted Human Interface panel.
As the heating requirement is
satisfied, the HEAT module will
modulate the combustion air damper
closed and the firing rate will lower
to maintain the desired outlet
temperature. When the requirement
is fully satisfied, the heating contacts
are opened, de-energizing the heat.
The specific sequence of operation of
the gas heat will depend on the size
of the heat exchanger.
Electric Heating
The individual stages of electric heat
will be sequenced on the zone
demand. The number of available
stages will depend on the unit size
and heat capacity selected.
Hot Water or Steam
On units with hot water or steam
heating, the supply air temperature
can be controlled to a heating
setpoint during the Occupied mode.
The supply air temperature heating
setpoint and deadband are userdefined at the Human Interface Panel.
VAV Occupied heating on hot water
and steam heat units is enabled by
closing a field-supplied switch or
contacts connected to an changeover
input on the RTM.

Supply Air Setpoint Reset
Supply air setpoint reset can be used
to adjust the supply air temperature
setpoint on the basis of a zone
temperature or on outdoor air
temperature. Supply air setpoint
reset adjustment is available from
the Human Interface Panel for supply
air heating and supply air cooling
control.
Outdoor air cooling reset is
sometimes used in applications
where the outdoor temperature has a
large effect on building load. When
the outside air temperature is low
and the building cooling load is low,
the supply air setpoint can be raised,
thereby preventing subcooling of
critical zones. This reset can lower
usage of primary cooling, thus
savings in mechanical cooling kw,
but an increase in supply fan kw may
occur.
Outdoor air heating reset is the
inverse of cooling, with the same
principles applied.
For both outdoor air cooling reset
and heating reset, there are three
user-defined parameters that are
adjustable through the Human
Interface Panel.
– beginning reset temperature
– ending reset temperature
– amount of temperature reset

This can have the effect of improving

usage. The user-defined parameters
are the same as for outdoor air reset.

Daytime warm-up
This feature is available on all types
of heating units. During Occupied
mode, if the zone temperature falls to
a preset, user-defined zone low limit
temperature setpoint, the unit is put
into Unoccupied mode and Daytime
Warm-up is initiated. The system
changes over to CV heating (full unit
airflow), the VAV boxes are fully
opened and full heating capacity is
provided until the Daytime Warm-up
setpoint is reached. The unit is then
returned to normal Occupied mode.
Fresh Air Measurement
Trane air quality (TRAQ™) fresh air
measurement damper system utilizes
velocity pressure sensing rings.
Based on unit design CFM, the
ventilation control module (VCM)
monitors and controls the quantity of
fresh outside air entering the unit.
The outside airflow can be calibrated
to accommodate for altitude.

Occupied Zone
Temperature Control
Cooling/Economizer
During Occupied cooling mode, the
economizer (if provided) and
mechanical cooling are used to
control zone temperature. The zone
temperature cooling setpoint is userdefined at the Human Interface Panel
or from the BAS/Network.
If the conditions of outside air is
appropriate to use “free cooling”, the
economizer will be used first to
attempt to satisfy the cooling zone
temperature setpoint; then if
required the hydronic valve will be
modulated to maintain supply air
temperature setpoint.
On units with economizer, a call for
cooling will modulate the fresh air
dampers open. The rate of
economizer modulation is based on
deviation of the zone temperature
from setpoint, i.e., the further away
from setpoint, the faster the fresh air
damper will open.
First stage of cooling will be allowed
to start after the economizer reaches
full open.
Note: The economizer is only
allowed to function freely if
one of the following
conditions is met: For dry
bulb economizer control, the
ambient temperature must
be below the dry bulb
temperature control setting.
For reference enthalpy
economizer control, outdoor
air enthalpy must be below
the enthalpy control setting.
At outdoor air conditions
above the enthalpy control
setting, mechanical cooling
only is used and the outdoor
air dampers remain at
minimum position. For
comparative enthalpy
economizer control, outdoor
air enthalpy must be below
the enthalpy of the return air.
If the unit does not include an
economizer, primary cooling only is
used to satisfy cooling requirements.
The outdoor air dampers may be set
for a maximum of 25 percent
outdoor air, through the unit
mounted Human Interface Panel or a
signal from the BAS/network, if the
air handler is equipped with 0 to 25
percent motorized fresh air dampers.
A temperature sensor, located on the
entering air side of the chilled water
coil, will send a signal to the
hydronic valve to drive it full open
when a potential freeze condition is
detected. The supply fan is then
turned off and the outside air
damper is closed.
Heating
Gas Heating: Two-Stage
Upon a call for heating, the HEAT
module closes the first stage heating
contacts beginning the firing
sequence. First, the heat exchanger
combustion blower begins
operation. Upon positive proving of
combustion airflow, a 60 second prepurge cycle is executed. Then the
ignition sequence takes place.
If ignition is not proven, the safety
control locks out and must be
manually reset. As long as there is a
call for heat, the safety control can
be reset, which starts another purge
cycle and try for ignition.
As additional heat is required, the
HEAT module will close the second
stage heating contacts and
depending on heat module size, will
open either the second stage of the
gas valve, or a second stage gas
valve.
During heating operation, an
electronic flame safety control
provides continuous flame
supervision. If combustion should
become unstable for any reason,
heating will automatically shut
down. On the low heat and medium
heat for all units, after a one minute
delay, plus another 60 second prepurge cycle the ignition cycle begins.
On all other heat sizes the heating
section will be shutdown and locked
out until manually reset at the
ignition module and unit mounted
Human Inferface Panel after the first
shutdown due to flame instability.
As the heating requirement is
satisfied, the HEAT module will open
the second stage heating relay, deenergizing the second stage of heat.
When the requirement is fully
satisfied, the first stage contacts are
opened, de-energizing the first stage
of heat.
Gas Heating: Modulating Gas
Upon a call for heating, the HEAT
module closes the heating contacts,
beginning the firing sequence. First,
the heat exchanger combustion
blower begins operation. Upon
positive proving of combustion
airflow, a pre-purge cycle is
executed. Then the ignition
sequence takes place.
If ignition is not proven, the safety
control locks out and must be
manually reset. As long as there is a
call for heat, the safety control can
be reset, which starts another purge
cycle and try for ignition.
Once ignited, as additional heat is
required, the combustion air damper
opens, increasing the firing rate.
During heating operation, an
electronic flame safety control
provides continuous flame
supervision. If combustion should
become unstable for any reason,
heating will automatically shut down
and be blocked out until reset at the
unit mounted Human Interface
panel.
As the heating requirement is
satisfied, the HEAT module will
modulate the combustion air
damper closed, and the firing rate
will lower to maintain the desired
outlet temperature. When the
requirement is fully satisfied, the
heating contacts are opened, deenergizing the heat. The specific
sequence of operation of the gas
heat will depend on the size of the
heat exchanger.
14RT-PRC031-EN
Controls Constant Volume (CV) Only
Electric Heating
The individual stages of electric heat
will be sequenced on the zone
demand. The number of available
stages will depend on the unit size
and heat capacity selected.
Hot Water or Steam Heating
Upon a call for heat, the UCM will
send a varying voltage signal to the
valve actuator. The valve will
modulate to meet building demand
as indicated by the voltage signal.
When heating is satisfied, the valve
will modulate closed. A temperature
sensor is located on the coldest
section of the coil. When it senses an
impending freeze condition, a signal
is sent to the hydronic valve to drive
it full open. If the supply fan is on, or
if the outside air damper is open
when this freezing condition is
sensed, the supply fan is turned off
and the fresh air damper is closed.
Supply Air Tempering
For staged gas and electric heat units
in the occupied Heating mode but
not actively heating, if the supply air
temperature drops to 10°F below the
Occupied zone heating temperature
setpoint, one stage of heat will be
brought on to maintain a minimum
supply air temperature. The heat
stage is turned off if the supply air
temperature rises to 10°F above the
Occupied zone heating temperature
setpoint.
On units with hot water or steam
heating, if the supply air temperature
drops below 48°F, the heating valve
is modulated to maintain 50°F supply
air temperature with a 4°F deadband.
Auto Changeover
When the System Mode is “Auto,” the
mode will change to cooling or
heating as necessary to satisfy the
zone cooling and heating setpoints.
The zone cooling and heating
setpoints can be as close as 2°F
apart.
Unoccupied Zone
Temperature Control
Cooling and Heating
Cooling and/or heating modes can be
selected to maintain Unoccupied
zone temperature setpoints. For
Unoccupied periods, heating,
economizer operation or primary
cooling operation can be selectively
locked out at the Human Interface
Panels.
RT-PRC031-EN15
Controls VAV and CV
Common to VAV and
CV Units
Space Pressure Control Statitrac™
A pressure transducer is used to
measure and report direct space
(building) static pressure. The userdefined control parameters used in
this control scheme are space static
pressure setpoint, space pressure
deadband and exhaust enable point.
As the economizer opens, the
building pressure rises and once
above the exhaust enable point,
enables the exhaust fan and
dampers or exhaust VFD. The
exhaust dampers or VFD then
modulate to maintain space pressure
within the deadband.
Morning Warm-up Options
This feature may be enabled on all
types of factory installed heat units
as well as cooling only units
configured as “External Heat” (for
example, VAV boxes with reheat).
At the conclusion of Unoccupied
mode, while the economizer (if
supplied) is kept closed, the selected
zone is heated to the user-defined
Morning Warm-up setpoint. The unit
is then released to Occupied mode.
There are two types of Morning
Warm-up: full capacity or cycling
capacity.
Full Capacity Morning Warm-up
(MWU)
Full capacity Morning Warm-up uses
full heating capacity, and heats the
zone up as quickly as possible. Full
heating capacity is provided until the
Morning Warm-up setpoint is met.
At this point, the unit is released to
occupied mode.
Cycling Capacity Morning Warmup (MWU)
Cycling capacity Morning Warm-up
provides a more gradual heating of
the zone. Normal zone temperature
control with varying capacity is used
to raise the zone temperature to the
MWU zone temperature setpoint.
This method of warm-up is used to
overcome the “building sink” effect.
Cycling capacity MWU will operate
until the MWU setpoint is reached or
for 60 minutes, then the unit
switches to Occupied mode.
A control algorithm is used to
increase or decrease the amount of
heat in order to achieve the MWU
zone temperature setpoint.
Note: When using the Morning
Warm-up option in a VAV
heating/cooling air handler,
airflow must be maintained
through the air handler unit.
This can be accomplished by
electrically tying the VAV
boxes to the VAV box output
relay contacts on the Rooftop
Module (RTM) or by using
changeover thermostats.
Either of these methods will
assure adequate airflow
through the unit and
satisfactory heating of the
building.
Emergency Override
When a LonTalk communication
module is installed, the user can
initiate from the Trane Tracer
Summit or 3rd party BAS one of five

Chilled Water Coil - Freeze
Stat
A low limit thermostat, mounted on
the entering air side of the coil, is
used to help prevent the chilled water
coil from freezing during periods of
low ambient temperature. If the
temperature falls below a
predetermined value the low limit
thermostat will trip, the hydronic
valve will be fully opened, the supply
fan will shut off, and the fresh air
dampers will close.
Steam and Hot Water Coil Freeze Avoidance
Freeze Avoidance is a feature which
helps prevent freezing of steam or
hot water heat coils during periods of
unit inactivity and low ambient
temperatures. Whenever the unit
supply fan is off, the outdoor air
temperature is monitored. If the
temperature falls below a
predetermined value, the heating
valve is opened to a position selected
at the unit mounted Human Interface
to allow a minimum amount of
steam or hot water to flow through
the coil and avoid freezing
conditions.
Applications with Chilled

Occupied/Unoccupied
Switching
Description - 3 ways to switch
Occupied/Unoccupied:
1.Night Setback (NSB) Panel
2. Field-supplied contact closure
(hard wired binary input to RTM)
3. TRACER (or 3rd Party BAS with
LCI module)
Night Setback Sensors
Trane's night setback sensors are
programmable with a time clock
function that provides
communication to the air handler
unit through a 2-wire
communications link. The desired
transition times are programmed at
the night setback sensor and
communicated to the air handler.
Night setback (unoccupied mode) is
operated through the time clock
provided in the sensors with night
setback. When the time clock
switches to night setback operation,
the outdoor air dampers close and
heating/cooling can be enabled or
disabled depending on setup
parameters.
As the building load changes, the
night setback sensor energizes the air
handler heating/cooling (if enabled)
RT-PRC031-EN19
Controls VAV and CV
function and the supply fan. The air
handler unit will cycle through the
evening as heating/cooling (if
enabled) is required in the space.
When the time clock switches from
night setback to occupied mode, all
heating/cooling functions begin
normal operation.
When using the night setback options
with a VAV heating/cooling air
handler, airflow must be maintained
through the air handler unit. This can
be accomplished by electrically tying
the VAV boxes to the VAV Box output
relay contacts on the Rooftop Module
(RTM) or by using changeover
thermostats. Either of these methods
will assure adequate airflow through
the unit and satisfactory temperature
control of the building.
Occupied/Unoccupied input
on the RTM
This input accepts a field supplied
switch or contacts closure such as a
time clock.
Trane Tracer™ or BAS System
The Trane Tracer System or a 3rd
party BAS (with LCI module) can
control the Occupied/Unoccupied
status of the air handler.
Timed Override Activation ICS
This function is operational when the
RTM is selected as the Zone
Temperature Sensor source at the
Human Interface Panel. When this
function is initiated by the push of a
override button on the ICS sensor,
the Tracer will switch the unit to the
Occupied mode. Unit operation
(Occupied mode) during timed
override is terminated by a signal
from Tracer.
Timed Override Activation Non-ICS
This function is active whenever the
RTM is selected as the Zone
Temperature Sensor source at the
Human Interface Panel. When this
function is initiated by the push of an
override button on the zone sensor,
the unit will switch to the Occupied
mode. Automatic Cancellation of the
Timed Override Mode occurs after
three hours of operation.
Comparative Enthalpy Control
of Economizer
An optional Comparative Enthalpy
system is used to control the
operation of the economizer, and
measures the temperature and
humidity of both return air and
outside air to determine which
source has lower enthalpy. This
system allows true comparison of
outdoor air and return air enthalpy
by measurement of outdoor air and
return air temperatures and
humidities.
Reference Enthalpy Control of
Economizer
The optional reference enthalpy
compares outdoor air temperature
and humidity to the economizer
enthalpy control setpoint. If outdoor
air temperature and humidity are
below the economizer enthalpy
control setpoint, the economizer will
operate freely. This system provides
more sophisticated control where
outdoor air humidity levels may not
be acceptable for building comfort
and indoor air quality.
Dry Bulb Temperature Control
of Economizer
The optional dry bulb system
measures outdoor temperature
comparing it to the economizer
control temperature setpoint. If the
outdoor temperature is below the
economizer dry bulb temperature
control setpoint, the economizer will
operate freely. This system is best
suited for arid regions where the
humidity levels of fresh air would not
be detrimental to building comfort
and indoor air quality.
Emergency Stop Input
A binary input is provided on the
Rooftop Module (RTM) for
installation of field provided switch
or contacts for immediate shutdown
of all unit functions.
High Duct Temp Thermostat
Two manual reset, high temperature
limit thermostats are provided. One
is located in the discharge section of
the unit set at 240ºF and the other in
the return air section of the unit set at
135ºF. If either setpoint is reached, the
air handler unit is shut down.
CO2 Control - Demand Control
Ventilation (DCV)
A ventilation reset function that
provides the necessary ventilation for
occupants and reduces energy

Applications Considerations
Exhaust/Return
Fan Options
When is it necessary to provide
building exhaust? Whenever an
outdoor air economizer is used, a
building generally requires an
exhaust system. The purpose of the
exhaust system is to exhaust the
proper amount of air to prevent over
or under-pressurization of the
building.
The goal is to exhaust approximately
10 percent less air than the amount
of outside air going into the building.
This maintains a slightly positive
building pressure.
The reason for applying either a
return, or exhaust fan is to control
building pressure. The Trane 100
percent modulating exhaust system
with Statitrac is an excellent choice
for controlling building pressure in
the majority of applications.
For more demanding applications,
Trane's 100 percent modulating
return fan system with Statitrac is an
excellent choice for systems with
high return static pressure losses, or
duct returns. Both systems employ
direct digital control technology to
maintain building pressure. Either
return or exhaust fan systems with
Statitrac may be used on any air
handler application that has an
outdoor air economizer.
A building may have all or part of its
exhaust system in the air handler
unit. Often, a building provides
exhaust external to the air handling
equipment. This external exhaust
must be considered when selecting
the air handler exhaust system.
With an exhaust fan system, the
supply fan motor and drives must be
sized to overcome the total system
static pressure, including return
losses, and pull return air back to the
unit during non-economizer
operation.
However, a supply fan can typically
overcome return duct losses more
efficiently than a return air fan
system.
Essentially, one large fan by itself is
normally more efficient than two
fans in series because of only one
drive loss, not two as with return fan
systems.
In a return fan system, the return fan
is in series with the supply fan, and
operates continuously whenever the
supply fan is operating to maintain
return air volume. The supply fan
motor and drives are sized to deliver
the design CFM based on internal
and discharge static pressure losses
only.
The return fan motor and drives are
sized to pull the return CFM back to
the unit based on return duct static.
Therefore, with a return fan system,
the supply fan ordinarily requires
less horsepower than a system with
an exhaust fan

Application
Recommendations
100 Percent Modulating Exhaust
with Statitrac Control, Constant
Volume and VAV Units
For both CV and VAV air handlers,
the 100 percent modulating exhaust
discharge dampers (or VFD) are
modulated in response to building
pressure. A differential pressure
control system, Statitrac, uses a
differential pressure transducer to
compare indoor building pressure to
atmospheric pressure.
The FC exhaust fan is turned on
when required to lower building
static pressure to setpoint. The
Statitrac control system then
modulates the discharge dampers
(or VFD) to control the building
pressure to within the adjustable,
specified deadband that is set at the
Human Interface Panel.
Economizer and return air dampers
are modulated independent of the
exhaust dampers (or VFD) based on
ventilation control and economizer
cooling requests.
Advantages:
•The exhaust fan runs only when
needed to lower building static
pressure.
•Statitrac compensates for
pressure variations within the
building from remote exhaust
fans and makeup air units.
•The exhaust fan discharges in a
single direction resulting in
more efficient fan operation
compared to return fan systems.
•When discharge dampers are
utilized to modulate the exhaust
airflow, the exhaust fan may be
running unloaded whenever the
economizer dampers are less
than 100 percent open.
22RT-PRC031-EN
Applications Considerations
The Trane 100 percent modulating
exhaust system with Statitrac
provides efficient control of building
pressure in most applications simply
because 100 percent modulating
exhaust discharge dampers (or VFD)
are controlled directly from building
pressure, rather than from an indirect
indicator of building pressure, such
as outdoor air damper position.
100 Percent Modulating Exhaust
System without Statitrac,
Constant Volume Units Only
This fan system has performance
capabilities equal to the supply fan.
The FC exhaust fans are started by
the economizer's outdoor air damper
position and the exhaust dampers
track the economizer outdoor air
damper position. The amount of air
exhausted by this fan is controlled by
modulating discharge dampers at the
fan outlet. The discharge damper
position is controlled by a signal that
varies with the position of the
economizer dampers. When the
exhaust fans start, the modulating
discharge dampers are fully closed,
and exhaust airflow is 15 to 20
percent of total exhaust capabilities.
Advantages:
•The exhaust fan runs only when
the economizer reaches the
desired exhaust enable point.
•Exhaust dampers are modulated
based on the economizer
position.
•The exhaust fan discharges in a
single direction resulting in more
efficient fan operation compared
to return fan systems.
•When discharge dampers are
utilized to modulate the exhaust
airflow, the exhaust fan may be
running unloaded whenever the
economizer dampers are less
than 100 percent open.
The Trane 100 percent modulating
exhaust system provides excellent
linear control of building exhaust in
most applications where maintaining
building pressure is not important.
100 Percent Modulating
Return Fan Systems with
Statitrac™ Control, Constant
Volume and VAV units
For both CV and VAV applications,
the IntelliPak II air handler offers 100
percent modulating return fan
systems. A differential pressure
control system, Statitrac, uses a
differential pressure transducer to
compare indoor building pressure to
atmospheric pressure. The return fan
exhaust dampers are modulated,
based on space pressure, to control
the building pressure to within the
adjustable, specified deadband that
is set at the Human Interface Panel. A
VFD modulates the return fan speed
based on return duct static pressure.
Economizer and return air dampers
are modulated independent of the
exhaust dampers based on
ventilation control and economizer
cooling requests.
Advantages:
•The return fan operates
independently of the supply fan
to provide proper balance
throughout the airflow envelope.
•Statitrac compensates for
pressure variations within the
building from remote exhaust
fans and makeup air units.
•The return fan acts as both
exhaust and return fan based on
operation requirements.
The Trane 100 percent modulating
return system with Statitrac provides
efficient control of building pressure
in applications with higher return
duct static pressure and applications
requiring duct returns.
Exhaust discharge dampers are
controlled directly from building
pressure, return fan VFD is controlled
from return static pressure, and
return/economizer dampers are
controlled based on ventilation
control and economizer cooling
requests. 100 Percent Modulating
Return Fan without Statitrac™
Control, Constant Volume Units Only
The exhaust discharge dampers are
modulated in response to building
pressure. The return fan runs
continuously while the supply fan is
energized.
Economizer and return air dampers
are modulated independent of the
exhaust dampers based on
ventilation control, and economizer
cooling requests.
Advantages:
•The exhaust dampers are
modulated as needed through a
space pressure sensor input to
maintain building pressure.
•The return fan discharges in two
directions, thereby balancing
exhaust and unit return air
volumes.
Supply and Return Airflow
Configurations
The typical air handler installation
has both the supply and return air
paths routed through the roof curb
and building roof. However, many air
handler installations require
horizontal supply and/or return from
the air handler because of a
building's unique design or for
acoustic considerations.
With IntelliPak II, there are several
ways to accomplish horizontal
supply, see Tab le 1, p. 2 4 and/or
return, see Ta b le 2, p . 24 .

When using an IntelliPak II Air
Handler for horizontal supply and/or
return, an additional pressure drop
must be added to the supply external
static to account for the 90 degree
turn the air is making. This additional
pressure drop depends on airflow
and air handler size, but a range of
0.10 inches to 0.30 inches can be
expected. The openings on the air
handler all have a one inch lip around
the perimeter to facilitate ductwork
attachment.
Corrosive Atmospheres
Trane's IntelliPak II Air Handlers are
designed and built to industrial
standards and will perform to those
standards for an extended period
depending on the hours of use, the
quality of maintenance performed,
and the regularity of that
maintenance. One factor that can
have an adverse effect on unit life is
its operation in a corrosive
environment.
Because copper is more resistant to
corrosion than aluminum, coil life
expectancy is greatly increased.
Ventilation Override
Sequences
One of the benefits of using an
exhaust fan rather than a return fan,
in addition to the benefits of lower
energy usage and improved building
pressurization control, is that the air
handler can be used as part of a
ventilation override system. Several
types of sequences can be easily
done when exhaust fans are a part of
the air handling system.
What would initiate the ventilation
override control sequence? Typically,
a manual switch is used and located
near the fire protection control panel.
This enables the fire department
access to the control for use during
or after a fire. It is also possible to
initiate the sequence from a fieldinstalled automatic smoke detector.
In either case, a contact closure
begins the ventilation override
control sequence.
CAUTION!
The ventilation override system
should not be used to signal the
presence of smoke caused by a fire.
Trane can provide five (5) different
ventilation override sequences on
both CV and VAV IntelliPak II Air
Handlers. For convenience, the
sequences are factory preset but are
fully field edited from the Human
Interface Panel or Tracer™. Any or all
five sequences may be “locked” in
by the user at the Human Interface
Panel.
The user can customize up to five (5)
different override sequences for
purposes such as smoke control. The
following parameters within the unit
can be defined for each of the five
sequences:
•Supply Fan - on/off
•Inlet Guide Vanes - open/closed/
controlling
•Variable Frequency Drives - on
(60 Hz)/off (0 Hz)/controlling
Factory preset sequences include
unit Off, Exhaust, Purge, Purge with
duct pressure control, and
Pressurization. Any of the userdefined Ventilation Override
sequences can be initiated by closing
a field supplied switch or contacts
connected to an input on the
Ventilation Override Module. If more
than one ventilation override
sequence is being requested, the
sequence with the highest priority is
initiated. Refer to the Ventilation
Override Module (VOM) page 17 in
the Control section of this catalog for
more details on each override
sequence.
Natural Gas Heating
Considerations
Trane uses heavy gauge 304 L
stainless steel throughout the
construction of its natural gas drum
and tube heat exchangers for the
IntelliPak II product. These heat
exchangers can be applied with
confidence, particularly with full
modulation control, when mixed air
temperatures are below 50°F, and low
ambient temperatures can cause
condensation to form on the heat
exchanger. IntelliPak II natural gas
heat exchangers are not
recommended for applications with
mixed air conditions entering the
heat exchanger below 30°F to insure
adequate leaving air heating
temperature.
For airflow limitations and
temperature rise across the heat
exchanger information, see Tab l e 2 7,
p. 70.
Acoustical Considerations
The ideal time to make provisions to
reduce sound transmission to the
space is during the project design
phase. Proper placement of air
handler equipment is critical to
reducing transmitted sound levels to
the building. The most economical
means of avoiding an acoustical
problem is to place any air handler
equipment away from acoustically
critical areas. If possible, air handling
equipment should not be located
directly above areas such as: offices,
conference rooms, executive office
areas and classrooms. Ideal locations
are above corridors, utility rooms,
toilet facilities, or other areas where
higher sound levels are acceptable.
Several basic guidelines for unit
placement should be followed to
minimize sound transmission
through the building structure:
1
Locate the unit's center of gravity
close to or over a column or main
support beam to minimize roof
deflection and vibratory noise.
2
If the roof structure is very light, roof
joists should be replaced by a
structural shape in the critical areas
described above.
3
If several units are to be placed on
one span, they should be staggered
to reduce deflection over that span.
It is impossible to totally quantify the
effect of building structure on sound
transmission, since this depends on
the response of the roof and building
members to the sound and vibration
of the unit components. However, the
guidelines listed above are
experience proven guidelines which
RT-PRC031-EN25
Applications Considerations
will help reduce sound transmission.
The ASHRAE publication "A Practical
Guide to Noise and Vibration Control
for HVAC Systems" also provides
valuable information.
There are several other sources of
unit sound, i.e., supply fan, exhaust/
return fans, and aerodynamic noise
generated at the duct fittings. Refer
to the ASHRAE Applications
Handbook, Chapter 47, 2003 edition
for guidelines for minimizing the
generation of aerodynamic noise
associated with duct fittings. A good
source of information on general
acoustical considerations for air
handlers is the 2000 ASHRAE Journal
article titled, "Controlling Noise from
Large Rooftop Units".
The Trane Acoustic Program (TAP)
allows complete modeling of air
handler acoustical installation
parameters. The software models
airborne sound from supply and
return ducts, as well as duct breakout
and roof transmission sound, so that
the designer can identify potential
sound problems and make design
alterations before equipment
installation. Output of the program
shows the resulting NC (or RC) level
for any point in the occupied space.
TAP is also capable of modeling the
effect of outdoor sound on the
surrounding area. This program is
available from Trane's Customer
Direct Service Network
TM
(C.D.S.),
ask your local Trane representative
for additional information on this
program.
Clearance Requirements
The recommended clearances
identified in Figure 31, p. 85 should
be maintained to assure adequate
service capability, maximum capacity
and peak operating efficiency. If the
clearances shown are not possible on
a particular job, consider the
following:
•Do the clearances available allow
for major service work such as
changing coils?
•Do the clearances available allow
for proper outside air intake and
exhaust air removal?
•If screening around the unit is
being used, is there a possibility
of air recirculation from the
exhaust to the outside air intake?
Figure 15. Unit Placement

Actual clearances which appear
inadequate should be reviewed with
a local Trane sales engineer.
When two or more units are to be
placed side by side, the distance
between the units should be
increased to 150 percent of the
recommended single unit clearance.
The units should also be staggered,
see Figure 15, p. 26, for two reasons:
1
To reduce span deflection if more
than one unit is placed on a single
span. Reducing deflection
discourages sound transmission.
2
To assure proper diffusion of exhaust
air before contact with the outside air
intake of adjacent unit.

Applications Considerations
Duct Design
It is important to note that the rated
capacities of the air handler can be
met only if the air handler is properly
installed in the field. A well-designed
duct system is essential in meeting
these capacities.
The satisfactory distribution of air
throughout the system requires that
there be an unrestricted and uniform
airflow from the air handler
discharge duct. This discharge
section should be straight for at least
several duct diameters to allow the
conversion of fan energy from
velocity pressure to static pressure.
However, when job conditions
dictate elbows be installed near the
air handler outlet, the loss of capacity
and static pressure may be reduced
through the use of guide vanes and
proper direction of the bend in the
elbow. The high velocity side of the
air handler outlet should be directed
at the outside radius of the elbow
rather than the inside as illustrated in
Figure 16, p. 27.
Protecting Hydronic Coils
From Freezing
Taking in outdoor air to satisfy
Standard 62’s ventilation
requirement increases the likelihood
of air stratification. If a layer of air
below freezing moves through the air
handler, it can damage unprotected
hydronic cooling and heating coils.
When a dangerously low air
temperature is detected by the lowlimit thermostat on the entering-air
side of the coil, it will trip. That
triggers the water valve to fully open,
the supply fan to stop, the outdoor
air damper to close and ultimately
degrades the building’s indoor air
quality.
Two options that can be
implemented to continue taking in
outdoor air and avoid coil damage or
tripping the low-limit thermostat
include:
•Draining the coils
•Adding glycol to the cooling
system water to lower its
freezing point
External Piping Enclosure
Space inside the piping enclosure
limits the ability to house control
valves and actuators along with coil
supply and return piping.

Cooling Capacity Selection:
Step 1 - Coil and Fan
Selection
A summation of the peak cooling
load and the outside air ventilation
load shows: 980 MBH + 154.0 MBH =
1134.0 MBH required unit capacity.
The supply fan air flow requirement
is 36,000 cfm.
From Ta b le 10 , p . 3 9, a 4 row W coil
with 144 fpf (fins per foot) and no
turbulators at 80 DB/67 WB and
36000 supply air cfm has a total
cooling capacity of 1336 MBH and
sensible cooling capacity of 969
MBH. With chilled water coil capacity
data at 80 DB/67 WB only, TOPSS is
required for an accurate selection at
other conditions. TOPSS is also
required to select the correct water
control valve for proper flow control,
in this case a 2 ½ "or 3" valve.
Ta b le 3 , p . 3 4 - General Data shows
that air handler "C" can provide
36000 total supply CFM.
Thus air handler "C" with a 4 row 144
fpf W coil having no turbulators at
45°F entering water and a 10°F rise
with a 2 ½" valve is selected. The coil
water flow rate is 266 GPM and
water side pressure drop is 13.7 ft of
water.
Step 2 - Cooling Coil Entering
Conditions
Mixed air dry bulb temperature
determination:
Using the minimum percent of OA
(3600 CFM ÷ 36000 CFM = 10
percent), determine the mixture dry
bulb to the cooling coil.
Having selected air handler casing
"C" with a 4 row 144 fpf W coil and
no turbulators, the supply fan BHP
can be calculated.
The supply fan motor heat gain must
be considered in final determination
of unit capacity.

Step 2 - Determine Total
Winter Heating Load
Total winter heating load = peak
heating load + ventilation load supply fan motor heat = 720 + 288.6 -
109.0 = 899.6 MBH
Electric Heating System
Unit operating on 460/60/3 power
supply.
From Table 29, p. 70, kw may be
selected for a nominal 105 ton air
handler "C" unit operating at 460-volt
power. The 265 kw heat module
(904.4 MBH) will satisfy the winter
heating load of 899.6 MBH.
Table 28, p. 70 shows an air
temperature rise of 23.2°F for 36000
CFM through the 265 kw heat
module.
Unit supply temperature at design
heating conditions = mixed air
temperature + air temperature rise =
65.8°F + 23.2°F = 89.0°F.
Gas Heating System (Natural
Gas)
From Ta b le 27, p. 7 0 select the high
heat module (1440 MBH output) to
satisfy winter heating load of 899.6
MBH at unit CFM.
Ta b le 2 7, p . 70 also shows an air
temperature rise of 37.0°F for 36000
CFM through the heating module.
Unit supply temperature at design
heating conditions = mixed air
temperature + air temperature rise =
65.8°F + 37.0°F = 102.8°F.
Hot Water Heating System
Using a hot water supply
temperature of 190°F and an entering
coil temperature of 65.8°F.
Subtract the mixed air temperature
from the hot water temperature to
determine the ITD (initial
temperature difference).
ITD = 190°F - 65.8°F = 124.2°F.
Divide the winter heating load by ITD
= 1008.6 MBH ÷ 124.2°F = 8.12 Q/
ITD.
From Table 30, p. 71, select the low
heat module. By interpolation, a Q/
ITD of 8.12 can be obtained at a gpm
of 41. Water pressure drop at 41 gpm
is 0.34 ft. of water.
Heat module temperature rise is
determined by:
Total Btu = 1.085 x CFM x Air
temperature rise, °F 1008600 / 1.085 /
36000 = 25.8°F
Unit supply air temperature = mixed
air temperature + air temperature
rise = 65. 8 + 25.8 = 91.6°F.
Steam Heating System
Using a 15 psig steam supply. From
Table 31, p. 71, the saturated
temperature steam is 250°F. Subtract
mixed air temperature from the
steam temperature to determine ITD.
ITD = 250°F - 65.8°F = 184.2°F.
Divide winter heating load by ITD =
1008.6 MBH ÷ 184.2°F = 5.48 Q/ITD.
Table 31, p. 71, select the low heat
module. The low heat module at
36000 cfm has a Q/ITD = 7.44
Heat module capacity, Q = ITD x Q/
ITD = 185°F x 7.44Q/ITD = 1376 MBH
Heat module air temperature rise is
determined by:
Total Btu = 1.085 x CFM x Air
temperature rise, °F 1376000 / 1.085 /
36000 = 35.2°F
Unit supply temperature at design
conditions = mixed air temperature +
air temperature rise = 65.8°F + 35.2°F
= 100.1°F.
Air Delivery Procedure
Supply fan performance tables
include internal resistance of air
handler.
For total static pressure
determination, system external static
must be added to appropriate
component static pressure drop
cooling coil, filters, optional
economizer, optional exhaust fan,
optional heating system, optional
cooling only extended casing).
Supply Fan Motor Sizing
The supply fan motor selected in the
cooling capacity determination was
40.4 BHP and 1097 RPM. Thus, a 40
HP supply fan motor is selected.
Enter Table 39, p. 77 to select the
proper drive. For anair handler "C"
with 40 HP motor, a drive letter A 1100 RPM is selected.
RT-PRC031-EN29
Selection Procedure
Exhaust Fan Motor Sizing
The exhaust/return fan is selected
based on total return system
negative static pressure and exhaust
fan CFM. Return system negative
static includes return duct static, and
any other job site applicable static
pressure drop.
Return duct static pressure = 0.30
inches.
Total return system negative static
pressure = 0.30 inches.
Exhaust fan CFM = 36000 CFM
From Table 39, p. 77 the required
BHP is 21.44 BHP at 400 RPM. Thus,
the exhaust fan motor selected is 25
HP.
To select a drive, enter Ta bl e 3 7, p . 75
for a 25 HP motor and air handler
"C". Drive selection number 4 - 400
RPM.
Return Fan Motor Sizing
The same static pressure and CFM
considerations must be taken for
return fan size, horsepower, and
drive selection as are required for
exhaust fan sizing. However, since
the return fan runs continuously the
sensible heat generated by the return
fan motor must be included in the
entering evaporator coil mixed air
temperature equation.
In this selection, if the return motor
BHP is equal to the exhaust motor
BHP, 21.44 BHP = 58.1 MBH x 1000÷
(1.085 x 36000 Return CFM) = 1.5°F
added to the return air temperature.
Where altitudes are significantly
above sea level, use Table 6, p. 37,
Table 7, p. 37 and Tab l e 8, p . 3 7 for
applicable correction factors.
Unit Electrical Requirements
Selection procedures for electrical
requirements for wire sizing amps,
maximum fuse sizing, and dual
element fuses are given in the
electrical service section of this
catalog.
an air density correction is needed to
project accurate unit performance.
Figure 18, p. 37 shows the air density
ratio at various temperatures and
elevations.
The procedure to use when selecting
a supply or exhaust/return fan at
elevations and
temperatures other than standard is
as follows:
1.First, determine the air density
ratio using Figure 18, p. 37.
2. Divide the static pressure at the
nonstandard condition by the air
density ratio to obtain the
corrected static pressure.
3. Use the actual CFM and the
corrected static pressure to
determine the fan RPM and BHP
from the performance tables or
curves.
4. The fan RPM is correct as
selected.
5. BHP must be multiplied by the
air density ratio to obtain the
actual operating BHP.

In order to better illustrate this
procedure, the following example is
used:
Consider an air handler"C" that is to
deliver 32000 actual CFM at 3-inches
total static pressure (tsp), 55°F
leaving air temperature, at an
elevation of 5000 ft.
1.F rom Figure 18, p. 37, the air
density ratio is 0.86.
2. Tsp = 3.0-inches / 0.86 = 3.49
inches tsp.
3. From fan performance Ta bl e 17,
p. 48 air handler"C" (without inlet
vanes) will deliver 32000 CFM at
3.49 inches TSP at 997 RPM and
30.27 BHP.
4. The RPM is correct as selected 997 RPM.
5. BHP = 30.27 x 0.86 = 26.3 BHP
actual.
Cooling coil MBH should be
calculated at standard and then
converted to actual using the
correction factors in Tab l e 6, p . 3 7,
Table 7, p. 37, Tab l e 8 , p. 3 7 . Apply
these factors to the capacities
selected at standard CFM so as to
correct for the reduced mass flow
rate across the condenser.
Heat selections other than gas heat
will not be affected by altitude.
Nominal gas capacity (output) should
be multiplied by the factors given in
Ta b le 8 , p . 3 7 before calculating the
heating supply air temperature.

To correctly size electrical service
wiring for a unit, find the appropriate
calculations listed below. Each type
of unit has its own set of calculations
for MCA (Minimum Circuit
Ampacity), MOP (Maximum
Overcurrent Protection), and RDE
(Recommended Dual Element fuse
size). Read the load definitions that
follow and then find the appropriate
set of calculations based on unit
type.
Note: Set 1 is for cooling only and
cooling with gas heat units,
and set 2 is for cooling with
electric heat units.
Load Definitions: (To determine load
values, see the Electrical Service
Sizing Data Tables on the following
page.)
LOAD1 = CURRENT OF THE
LARGEST MOTOR
LOAD2 = SUM OF THE CURRENTS
OF ALL REMAINING MOTORS
LOAD3 = CURRENT OF ELECTRIC
HEATERS
LOAD4 = ANY OTHER LOAD RATED
AT 1 A M P OR MORE
Set 1. Cooling with Gas Heat Air
Handling Units
MCA = (1.25 x LOAD1) + LOAD2 +
LOAD4
MOP = (2.25 x LOAD1) + LOAD2 +
LOAD4
Select a fuse rating equal to the MOP
value. If the MOP value does not
equal a standard fuse size as listed in
NEC 240-6, select the next lower
standard fuse rating.
Note: If selected MOP is less than
the MCA, then select the
lowest standard maximum
fuse size which is equal to or
larger than the MCA,
provided the selected fuse
size does not exceed 800
amps.
RDE = (1.5 x LOAD1) + LOAD2 +
LOAD4
Select a fuse rating equal to the RDE
value. If the RDE value does not
equal a standard fuse size as listed in
NEC 240-6, select the next higher
standard fuse rating.
Note: If the selected RDE is greater
than the selected MOP value,
then select the RDE value to
equal the MOP value.
Set 2. Cooling with Electric Heat
To arrive at the correct MCA, MOP,
and RDE values for these units, two
sets of calculations must be
performed. First calculate the MCA,
MOP, and RDE values as if the unit
was in cooling mode (use the
equations given in Set 1). Then
calculate the MCA, MOP, and RDE
values as if the unit were in the
heating mode as follows.
MCA = 1.25 x (LOAD1 + LOAD2 +
LOAD4) + LOAD3
The nameplate MCA value will be
the larger of the cooling mode MCA
value or the heating mode MCA
value calculated above.
MOP = (2.25 x LOAD1) + LOAD2 +
LOAD3 + LOAD4
The selection MOP value will be the
larger of the cooling mode MOP
value or the heating mode MOP
value calculated above.
Select a fuse rating equal to the MOP
value. If the MOP value does not
equal a standard fuse size as listed in
NEC 240-6, select the next lower
standard fuse rating.
Note: If selected MOP is less than
the MCA, then select the
lowest standard maximum
fuse size which is equal to or
larger than the MCA,
provided the selected fuse
size does not exceed 800
amps.
RDE = (1.5 x LOAD1) + LOAD2 +
LOAD3 + LOAD4
The selection RDE value will be the
larger of the cooling mode RDE
value or the heating mode RDE value
calculated above.
Select a fuse rating equal to the RDE
value. If the RDE value does not
equal a standard fuse size as listed in
NEC 240-6, select the next higher
standard fuse rating.
Note: If the selected RDE is greater
than the selected MOP value,
then select the RDE value to
equal the MOP value.

Exhaust
•No Exhaust—Air Handlers can
be built for makeup air
applications with no exhaust.
Relief opening is sealed
watertight.
•100 Percent Modulating Exhaust
Fan—A double width, double
inlet forward-curved fan can
exhaust up to 100 percent
supply air. The fan operates
when economizer damper is
open greater than minimum

•100 Percent Modulating Exhaust
Fan with Statitrac™ Control—
For both CV and Variable Air
Volume (VAV) air handlers, the
100 percent modulating exhaust
discharge dampers are
modulated in response to
building pressure. A differential
pressure control system,
Statitrac, uses a differential
pressure transducer to compare
indoor building pressure to
atmospheric pressure. The FC
exhaust fan is turned on when
required to lower building static
pressure to setpoint. The
Statitrac control system then
modulates the discharge
dampers to control the building
pressure to within the
adjustable, specified deadband
that is set at the Human Interface
Panel.
•100 Percent Modulating Exhaust
Fan with Statitrac Control and
Variable Frequency Drive—

modulates the speed of the
exhaust fan motor in response
to building pressure. A
differential pressure control
system, Statitrac, uses a
differential pressure transducer
to compare indoor building
pressure to atmospheric
pressure. The 0-100%
modulating relief dampers
modulate in response to a signal
from the unit microprocessor,
based upon the space static
pressure, and causes the
damper to modulate open or
closed as required to maintain
the space pressure within the
deadband.
