Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required.Your personal safety and the proper operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance of these precautions.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury. All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/state electrical codes.
WARNING
CAUTIONs
NOTICE
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. It could also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
Indicates a situationthat could result in equipment or property-damage only accidents.
Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment.Trane advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants-including industry replacements for CFCs such as HCFCs and HFCs.
Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are
important to the environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified.The Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to electrical, mechanical and chemical hazards.
Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST put on all PPE required for the work being undertaken (Examples; cut resistant gloves/sleeves, butyl gloves, safety glasses, hard hat/bump cap, fall protection, electrical PPE and arc flash clothing).
ALWAYS refer to appropriate Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS)/Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.
When working with or around hazardous chemicals,
ALWAYS refer to the appropriate MSDS/SDS and
OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals) guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory protection and handling instructions.
If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE in accordance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific requirements for arc flash protection, PRIOR to servicing the unit. NEVER PERFORM ANY SWITCHING, DISCONNECTING, OR VOLTAGE
TESTING WITHOUT PROPER ELECTRICAL PPE AND ARC FLASH CLOTHING. ENSURE ELECTRICAL
METERS AND EQUIPMENT ARE PROPERLY RATED FOR INTENDED VOLTAGE.
Failure to follow instructions could result in death or serious injury.

Pre-Installation
Inspection
When the unit is delivered, verify that it is the correct unit
and that it is properly equipped.
Inspect all exteriorcomponents for visibledamage. Report any apparent damage or material shortage to the carrier and make a “unit damage” notation on the carrier’s delivery receipt. Specify the extent and type of damage found and notify the appropriateTrane Sales Office.
Do not proceedwith installation ofa damaged unitwithout sales office approval.
Inspection Checklist
To protect against loss due to damage incurred in transit,
complete the following checklist upon receipt of the unit.
Inspect the individual pieces of the shipment before accepting the unit. Check for obvious damage to the unit or packing material.
Inspect the unit for concealed damage as soon as possible after delivery and before it is stored. Concealed damage must be reported within 10 days after receipt.
If concealed damage is discovered, stop unpackingthe shipment. Do not remove damaged material from the receiving location.Take photos of the damage, if possible.The owner must provide reasonable evidence that the damage did not occur after delivery.
Notify the carrier’s terminal of the damage immediately, by phone and by mail. Request an immediate, joint inspection of the damage with the carrier and the consignee.
Notify theTrane sales representative and arrange for repair. Do not repair the unit, however, until damage is inspected by the transportation representative.
Storage
Extended storage of the unit prior to the installation requires the following precautions:
Store the unit in a secured area, to avoid intentional damages.
Close the suction, discharge and liquid-line isolation valves.
At least every three months, connect a gauge and
manually check the pressure in the refrigerant circuit. If the refrigerant pressure is below 13 Bar at 20°C (or 10 Bar at 10°C), call a qualified service organization and the appropriateTrane sales office.
Note: If the unit is stored before servicing near a
construction site it is highly recommended to protect micro-channel coils from any concrete dust. Failure to do so may considerably reduce reliability of the unit.

Location Requirements
Sound Considerations
Locate the unit away from sound-sensitive areas.
Install the optional elastomeric isolators under the unit. See
Chilled water piping should not besupported by chiller frame.
Install rubber vibration isolators in all water piping.
Use flexible electrical conduit.
Seal all wall penetrations.
Note: Consult an acoustical engineer for critical
Foundation
Provide rigid, non-warping mounting pads or a concrete foundation of sufficient strength and mass to support the applicable operating weight (i.e., including completed piping, and full operating charges of refrigerant, oil and water). See Table 3, p. 13 for unit operating weights. Once in place, the unitmust be level within 1/4” (6.4 mm) across the length and width of the unit.TheTrane Company is not responsible for equipment problems resulting from an improperly designed or constructed foundation.
Clearances
Provide enough space around the unit to allow the installation and maintenance personnel unrestricted access to all service points. See submittal drawings for the unit dimensions, to provide sufficient clearance for the opening of control panel doors and unit service. See
Figure 2, p. 13 for minimum clearances. In all cases, local
codes which require additional clearances will take precedence over these recommendations.

Isolation and Sound Emission
The most effective form of isolation is to locate the unit
away from any sound sensitive area. Structurally transmitted sound can be reduced by elastomeric vibration eliminators. Spring isolators are not recommended. Consult an acoustical engineer in critical sound applications.
For maximum isolation effect, isolate water lines and electrical conduit.Wall sleeves and rubber isolated piping hangers can be used to reduce the sound transmitted through water piping.To reduce the sound transmitted through electrical conduit, use flexible electrical conduit.
State and local codes on sound emissions should always be considered. Since the environment in which a sound source is located affects sound pressure, unit placement must be carefully evaluated. Sound power levels for Sintesis™ chillers are available on request.
Unit Isolation and Leveling
For additional reduction of sound and vibration, install the optional elastomeric isolators.
Construct an isolated concrete pad for the unit or provide concrete footings at the unit mounting points. Mount the unit directly to the concrete pads or footings.
Level the unit using the base rail as a reference.The unit must be level within 1/4-in (6 mm) over the entire length and width. Use shims as necessary to level the unit.

Chilled Water Piping Recommendations
Drainage
Locate the unit near a large capacity drain for water vessel drain-down during shutdown or repair. Evaporators are provided with drain connections. A vent on top of evaporator waterbox prevents vacuumby allowing air into evaporator for complete drainage. All local and national codes apply.
Water Treatment
NOTICE:
Proper Water Treatment!
The use of untreated or improperly treated water could
result in scaling, erosion, corrosion, algae or slime. It is recommended that the services of a qualified water treatment specialist be engaged to determine what water treatment, if any, is required.Trane assumes no responsibility for equipment failures which result from untreated or improperly treated water, or saline or brackish water.
Dirt, scale, products of corrosion, and other foreign material will adversely affect heat transfer between the water and system components. Foreign matter in the chilled-water system can also increase pressure drop and consequently, reduce water flow. Proper water treatment must be determined locally, depending on the type of system and local water characteristics.
Evaporator Piping
Evaporator water connections are grooved.
Thoroughly flush allwaterpiping to the unit before making
the final piping connections to the unit. Components and layout will vary slightly, depending on the location of connections and the water sources.
An air vent is located on top of the evaporator at the chiller water inlet. Be sure to provide additional air vents at the highest points in the piping to remove air from the chilled water system. Install necessary pressure gauges to monitor the entering and leaving chilled water pressure.
Provide shut off valves in lines to the gauges to isolate them from the system when they are not in use. Use rubber vibration eliminators to prevent vibration transmission through the water lines.
If desired, install thermometers in the lines to monitor entering and leaving water line to control water flow balance. Install shutoff valves on both the entering and leaving water lines so that the evaporator can be isolated for service.
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
The chilled-water connections to the evaporator are to
be “grooved pipe” type connections. Do not attempt to weld these connections, because the heat generated from welding can cause microscopic and macroscopic fractures on the cast iron water boxes that can lead to premature failure of the water box. An optional grooved pipe stub and coupling is available for welding on flanges.
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
If using any commercial flushing/cleaning solution, construct a temporary bypass around the unit to prevent damage to internal components of the evaporator/condenser. Trane assumes no responsibility for equipment damage caused by flushing/cleaning solutions or water-born debris.
18 RTAF-SVX001A-EN
To prevent damage to chilled-water components, do not
allow evaporator pressure (maximum working pressure) to exceed 150 psi (10.5 bar).
A pipe strainer must be installed in theentering water line. Failure to do so can allow waterborne debris to enter the evaporator.
Evaporator Piping Components
Piping components include all devices and controls used to provide proper water system operation and unit operating safety. A typical RTAF evaporator piping is shown below.

Waterbox Drains and Vents
RTAF chillers are equipped with two ½” drain connections: one located on each waterbox. Waterboxes also include vent connections to assist in bleeding air from the chilled water loop.These vent connections should not be assumed to be capable of venting attached chilled water piping.
Note: If evaporator will be drained for winter storage, the
heaters must be disconnected to prevent overheating.To drain properly, use pressurized air to ensure all water is removed from the evaporator.
Pressure Gauges
Install field-supplied pressure components as shown in
Table 9, p. 19. Locate pressure gauges or taps in a straight
run of pipe; avoid placing them near elbows.
To read manifold pressure gauges, open one valve and
close the other (depending on the side of the desired reading) to prevent errors resulting from differently calibrated gauges installed at unmatched elevations.
Pressure Relief Valves
Install a water pressure relief valve in the evaporator inlet piping between evaporator and the inlet shutoff valve.
Watervessels with close-coupled shutoff valves have high

potential for hydrostatic pressure buildup on a water temperature increase. Refer to applicable local codes for relief valve installation.
Evaporator Flow Switch
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
Flow switch is on a 24V circuit. Do NOT apply 120V to the flow switch. Incorrect voltage application could cause damage to the flow switch.
The flow switch is factory-installed and programmed
based on the operating conditions submitted with the order.The leaving evaporator temperature, fluid type and fluid concentration affect the selected flow switch. If the operating conditions on the job site change, the flow switch may need to be replaced. Contact your localTrane Sales office for more information.
The sensor head includes 3 LEDs, two yellow and one
green.Wait 15 seconds after poweris applied to the sensor before evaluating LEDs for flow status. When wired correctly and flow is established, only the green LED should be lit. Following are the LED indicators:
Green ON, both yellow OFF — Flow
Green and outside yellow ON — No Flow
Center yellow ON continuously — Miswire
A minimum distance of 5x pipe diameter must be maintained between flow switch and any bends, valves, changes in cross sections, etc.

Index
The flow switch must have the dot in the shaded area to the left of this line for proper indexing (±90° off Index).
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
Incorrect wiring of auxiliary contacts could cause equipment damage.
If using auxiliary flow sensing, both yellow LEDs come on initially when flow is stopped.The center yellow LED will turn off after approximately 7 seconds.The LED indicators are otherwise the same as indicated above.
Indexing Flow Switch
To properly index the flow switch, the following
requirements must be met:
Dot must be at a position no greater than 90° off Index.
Torque must be between 22 ft-lb and 74 ft-lb.

ambient temperature Notes
Heaters alone will provide low ambient protection down to -4°F (-20°C), but will NOT protect the evaporator from freezing as a result of charge migration. Therefore, it is required that water pump control be used in conjunction with heaters.
• Heaters are factory-installed on the evaporator and water piping and will protect them from freezing.
• Install heat tape on all water piping, pumps, and other components that may be damaged if exposed to freezing temperatures. Heat tape must be designed for low ambient temperature applications. Heat tape selection should be based on the lowest expected ambient temperature.
• Tracer™ UC800 controller can start the pump when freezing conditions are detected. For this option the pump must to be controlled by the Sintesis unit and this function must be validated.
• Water circuit valves need to stay open at all times.
• Water pump control and heater combination will protect the evaporator provided power is

Varies. See “Low
Evaporator Refrigerant Cutout and Glycol Requirements,” p. 24
available to the pump and the controller. This option will NOT protect the evaporator in the event of a power failure to the chiller unless backup power is supplied to the necessary components.
• When no chiller operation is possible and the pump is already off, UC800 pump control for freeze protection will command the pump to turn: ON if average of the evaporator entering water temperature, the evaporator leaving water temperature, and the evaporator refrigerant pool temperature is less than Low Evaporator Refrigerant Temperature Cutout (LERTC) + 4°F for a period of time. OFF again if the evaporator refrigerant pool temperature rises above the LERTC + 6°F for a period of time.
Note: Time period referenced for ON and Off conditions above is dependent on past running conditions and present temperatures measured.
ON if entering OR leaving water temperature< LWTC for 30°F-sec (1.11°C-sec) OFF again if water temperature > LWTC for 30 min
• Freeze protection can be accomplished by adding sufficient glycol to protect against freezing below the lowest ambient expected.
• Use of glycol type antifreeze reduces the cooling capacity of the unit and must be considered in the design of the system specifications.
• Shut off the power supply to the unit and to all heaters.
• Purge the water circuit.
• Blow out the evaporator to ensure no liquid is left in the evaporator and water lines.
Installation Mechanical
NOTICE:
Evaporator Damage!
If insufficient concentration or no glycol is used, the evaporator water flow must be controlled by the UC800
AND heaters must be used to avoid catastrophic
damage to the evaporator due to freezing. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor and/or the customer to ensure that a pump will start when called upon by the chiller controls. Even with water pump control, a power loss of as little as 15 minutes under freezing conditions can damage the evaporator. Only the proper addition of freeze inhibitor or complete drainage of the water circuit can ensure no evaporator damage in the event of a power failure.

General Recommendations
As you review this manual, keep in mind that:
All field-installed wiring must conform to National Electric Code (NEC) guidelines, and any applicable state and local codes. Be sure to satisfy proper equipment grounding requirements per NEC.
Compressor motor and unit electrical data (including motor kW, voltage utilization range, rated load amps) is listed on the chiller nameplate.
All field-installed wiring must be checked for proper terminations, and for possible shorts or grounds.
Note: Always refer to wiring diagrams shipped with
chiller or unit submittal for specific electrical schematic and connection information.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Failure to disconnect power and discharge capacitors before servicing could result in death or serious injury. Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects and discharge all motor start/run capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/ tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized. For variable frequency drives or other energy storing components provided by Trane or others, refer to the appropriate manufacturer’s literature for allowable waiting periods for discharge of capacitors. Verify with an appropriate voltmeter that all capacitors have discharged.
For additional information regarding the safe discharge of capacitors, see PROD-SVB06A-EN
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury. All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/state electrical codes.
NOTICE:
Use Copper Conductors Only!
Failure to use copper conductors could result in equipment damage as unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of conductors.
Important: To prevent control malfunctions, do not run
low voltage wiring (<30 V) in conduit with conductors carrying more than 30 volts.
Installer-Supplied Components
Power Supply Wiring
NOTICE:
Use Copper Conductors Only!
Failure to use copper conductors could result in equipment damage as unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of conductors.
Cut holes into the sides of the control panel for the appropriately-sized power wiring conduits.The wiring is passed through these conduits and connected to the terminal blocks or circuit breakers.
To provide proper phasing of 3-phase input, see field
wiring drawings for correct wiring. Proper equipment grounds must be provided to each ground connection in the panel.
Control Power Supply
Chiller is provided with controlpower transformer. It isnot necessary to provide additional control power voltage to the unit. No other loads should be connected tothe control power transformer
All units are factory-connected for appropriate labeled
voltages.
Heater Power Supply
The evaporator shell is insulated from ambient air and
protected from freezing for temperatures down to -4°F by shell trace heaters and two thermostatically-controlled immersion heaters, combined with evaporator pump activation throughTracer™ UC800. Whenever the ambient temperature drops below 32°F, the thermostat energizes the heaters and theTracer UC800 activates the pumps. If ambient temperatures below -4°F are expected, contact yourTrane local office.
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
Control panel main processor does not verify thermostat operation. A qualified technician must confirm operation of the thermostat to avoid catastrophic damage to the evaporator.
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
If evaporator water is drained, evaporator heaters must be disconnected to prevent overheating.

Chilled Water Pump Control
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
If the microprocessor calls for a pump to start and water does not flow, the evaporator may be damaged catastrophically. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor and/or the customer to ensure that a pump will always be running when called upon by the chiller controls.
An evaporator water pump output relay closes when the
chiller is given a signal to go into the Auto mode of operation from any source.The contact is opened to turn off the pump in the event of most machine level diagnostics to prevent the build up of pump heat.
The relay output is required to operate the Evaporator
Water Pump (EWP) contactor. Contacts should be
compatible with 115/240VAC control circuit. Normally, the EWP relay follows theAUTO mode of the chiller.Whenever the chiller has no diagnostics and is in the AUTO mode, regardless of where the auto command is coming from, the normally open relay is energized. When the chiller exits the AUTO mode, the relay is timed to open in an adjustable (usingTechView) 0 to 30 minutes.The non-
AUTOmodes in which the pumpis stopped, include Reset,
Stop, External Stop, Remote Display Stop, Stopped by
Tracer, Start Inhibited by Low AmbientTemp, and Ice
Building complete.
In general, when there is either a non-latching or latching diagnostic, the EWPrelay is turned off as though there was a zero time delay. Exceptions whereby the relay continues to be energized occur with:
Low Chilled Water Temperature diagnostic
(non-latching unless also accompanied by an Evap Leaving WaterTemperature Sensor Diagnostic)
or
Interrupt Failure diagnostic in which a compressor
continues to draw current even after commanded to have shutdown.
or
Loss of Evaporator Water Flow diagnostic (non-
latching) and the unit is in the AUTO mode, after initially having proven evaporator water flow.
Table 11. Pump Relay Operations
Chiller Mode Relay Operation
Auto Instant Close
Ice Building Instant Close
Tracer Override Timed Open
Stop Timed Open
Ice Complete Instant Open
Diagnostics Instant Open
When going from Stop toAuto, the EWP relay is energized
immediately. If evaporator water flow is not established in 20 minutes (for normal transition) or 4 minutes, 15 seconds (for pump commanded ON due to an override safety), the UC800 de-energizes the EWP relay and generates a non-latching diagnostic. If flow returns (e.g. someone else is controlling the pump), the diagnostic is cleared, the EWP is re-energized, and normal control resumed.
If evaporator water flow is lost once it had been established, the EWP relay remains energized and a non­latching diagnostic is generated. If flow returns, the diagnostic is cleared and the chiller returns to normal operation.

Programmable Relays
A programmable relay concept provides for enunciation of
certain events or states of the chiller, selected from a list of likely needs, while only using four physical output relays, as shown in the field wiring diagram.
The four relays are provided (generally with a Quad Relay
Output LLID) as part of the Programmable Relay Option.
The relays contacts are isolated Form C (SPDT), suitable
for use with 120 VAC circuits drawing up to 2.8 amps inductive, 7.2 amps resistive, or 1/3 HP and for 240 VAC circuits drawing up to 0.5 amp resistive.
The list of events/states that can be assigned to the
programmable relays can be found in Table 12. Chiller events/Status description.The relay will be energized when the event/state occurs.

active latching shutdown diagnostic that targets the Unit, Circuit, or any of the Compressors on a circuit.
This output is true whenever there is any active non-latching shutdown diagnostic that targets the Unit, Circuit, or any of the Compressors on a circuit.
This output is true whenever there is any active latching or non-latching shutdown diagnostic that targets the Unit, Circuit, or any of the Compressors on a circuit.
This output is true whenever there is any active latching or non-latching shutdown diagnostic that targets Circuit 1, or any of the Compressors on Circuit 1.
This output is true whenever there is any active latching or non-latching shutdown diagnostic that targets Circuit 2, or any of the Compressors on Circuit 2.
This output is true whenever a circuit on the unit has been running in one of the limit modes continuously for the Limit Relay debounce time. A given limit or overlapping of different limits must be in effect continuously for the debounce time prior to the output becoming true. It will become false if no limits are present for the debounce time.
The output is true whenever any compressor is running.
The output is true whenever any compressor of Circuit 1 is running.
The output is true whenever any compressor of Circuit 2 is running.
This output is true when Ice Building status is active.
The output is true whenever the unit has reached maximum capacity continuously for the Max Capacity Relay s time. The output is false when the unit is not at maximum capacity continuously for the filter time.
Table 12. Alarm and status relay output configuration
Description
This relay output is energized any time either the Low Evaporator Water Temperature – Unit Off or the Low Evaporator Temperature Ckt x – Unit Off diagnostics are active. This relay is intended for use as an external interlock for a field engineered and provided solution to mitigate the freeze danger implied by these diagnostics. Generally, this would be used in
Evaporator Water Freeze Avoidance Request
None:
Service request (for Unit, Compressor(s) or water pump):
cases where operation of the evaporator water pump is unacceptable due to the system constraints, (i.e. such as mixing unconditioned warm water with controlled supply water as provided by other parallel chillers. The relay’s output can provide the method to close bypass valves so the circulation becomes local to the evap and excludes the load, or can be used to defeat the evap pump override entirely while initiating an independent source of heat / flow to the evap.
This selection is desirable to provide an easy way for a customer to defeat the effect of the relay, if it has already been wired. For instance, if the relay was normally programmed as an “alarm” relay, and was wired to a claxon, it may be desirable to temporarily defeat the feature without changing wiring.
This relay will be energized when at least one Maintenance alert condition (refer to Service required message specification) occurs, as long as at least one of associated informational diagnostic(s) will be active.
Relay Assignments Using
Tracer TU
Tracer™TU ServiceTool is used to install the
Programmable Relay Option package and assign any of the above lists of events or status to each of the four relays provided with the option.The relays to be programmed are referred to by the relay’s terminal numbers on the LLID board 1K23.
The default assignmentsfor the four availablerelays of the
Programmable Relay option are:
Table 13. Default assignments
Relay
Relay 0 Terminals J2-1, 2, 3 Head Pressure
Relay 1 Terminals J2-4, 5, 6 Limit Mode
Relay 2 Terminals J2-7, 8, 9 Alarm
Relay 3 Terminals J2-10, 11, 12 Compressor Running
If any of the Alarm/Status relays are used, provide electrical power, 115 VAC with fused-disconnect to the panel and wire through the appropriate relays (terminals on 1A10). Provide wiring (switched hot, neutral, and ground connections) to the remote annunciation devices. Do not use power from the chiller’s control panel transformer to power these remote devices. See the field diagrams which are shipped with the unit.
RTAF-SVX001A-EN 27
Page 28
Installation Electrical
Low Voltage Wiring
The remote devices described below require low voltage
wiring. All wiring to and from these remote input devices to the Control Panel must be made with shielded, twisted pair conductors. Be sure to ground the shielding only at the panel.
Important: To prevent control malfunctions, do not run
low voltage wiring (<30 V) in conduit with conductors carrying more than 30 volts.
Emergency Stop
UC800 provides auxiliary control for a customer specified/ installed latching trip out. When this customer-furnished remote contact 6S2 is provided, the chiller will run normally when the contact is closed. When the contact opens, the unit will trip on a manually resettable diagnostic.This condition requires manual reset at the front of the control panel.
Connect low voltage leads to terminal strip locations on 1K2. Refer to the field diagrams that are shipped with the unit.
Silver or gold-plated contacts are recommended.These customer-furnished contacts must be compatible with 24
VDC, 12 mA resistive load.
External Auto/Stop
If the unit requires the external Auto/Stop function, the installer must provide remote contact 6S1.
The chiller will run normally when the contactsare closed.
When either contact opens, the compressor(s), if
operating, will go to the RUN:UNLOAD operating mode and cycle off. Unit operation will be inhibited. Closure of the contacts will permit the unit to return to normal operation.
Field-supplied contacts for all low voltage connections must be compatible with dry circuit 24 VDC for a 12 mA resistive load. Refer to the field diagrams that are shipped with the unit.
Ice Building Option
UC800 provides auxiliary control for a customer specified/ installed contact closure for ice building if so configured and enabled.This output is known as the Ice Building Status Relay. The normally open contact will be closed when ice building is in progress and open when ice building has been normally terminated either through Ice
Termination setpoint being reached or removal of the Ice
Building command.This output is for use with the ice storage system equipment or controls (provided by others) to signal thesystem changesrequired as the chiller mode changes from “ice building” to “ice complete”.
When contact 5K3 is provided, the chiller will run normally
when the contact is open.
UC800 will accept either an isolated contact closure (External Ice Building command) or a Remote
Communicated input (Tracer) to initiate andcommand the Ice Building mode.
UC800 also provides a “Front Panel Ice Termination Setpoint”, settable throughTracer™TU, and adjustable from 20 to 31°F (-6.7 to -0.5°C) in at least 1°F (1°C) increments.
Note: When in the Ice Building mode, and the evaporator
entering water temperature drops below the ice termination setpoint, the chiller terminates the Ice Building mode and changes to the Ice Building Complete Mode.
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
Freeze inhibitor must be adequate for the leaving water temperature. Failure to do so will result in damage to system components.
Tracer™TU must also be used to enable or disable Ice
Machine Control.This setting does not prevent theTracer from commanding Ice Building mode.
Upon contact closure, the UC800 will initiate an ice building mode, in which the unit runs fully loaded at all times. Ice building shall be terminated either by opening the contact or based on the entering evaporator water temperature. UC800 will not permit the ice building mode to be reentered until the unit has been switched out of ice building mode (open5K3 contacts) and then switched back into ice building mode (close 5K3 contacts.)
In ice building, all limits (freeze avoidance, evaporator, condenser, current) will be ignored. All safeties will be enforced.
If, while in ice building mode, the unit gets down to the freeze stat setting (water or refrigerant), the unit will shut down on a manually resettable diagnostic, just as in normal operation.
Connect leads from 5K3 to the proper terminals of 1K22. See the field diagrams which are shipped with the unit.
Silver or gold-plated contacts are recommended.These customer furnished contacts must be compatible with 24
VDC, 12 mA resistive load.
External Chilled Water Setpoint (ECWS) Option
The UC800 provides inputs that accept either 4-20 mA or
2-10VDC signals to set the external chilled water setpoint (ECWS).This is not a reset function.The input defines the setpoint.This input is primarily used with generic BAS (building automation systems).The chilled water setpoint is set via theTracer AdaptiView™TD7 or through digital communication withTracer (Comm3).
The chilled water setpoint may be changed from a remote
location by sending either a 2-10VDC or 4-20 mA signal to the 1K24, terminals 5 and 6 LLID.The 2-10 VDC and 4-20
28 RTAF-SVX001A-EN
Page 29
Installation Electrical
mA each correspond to a 10 to 65°F (-12 to 18°C) external chilled water setpoint.
The following relationships exist:
Voltage Signal External Water Setpoint
< 1 VDC Invalid
1 VDC to 2 VDC min
2 VDC to 10 VDC min + (max-min)* (Signal-2)/8
10 VDC to 11 VDC max

< 2 mA Invalid
2 mA to 4 mA min
4 ma to 20 mA min + (max-min)* (Signal-4)/16

If the ECWS input develops an open or short, the LLID will report either a very high or verylow value back to the main processor.This will generate an informational diagnostic and the unit will default to using the Front Panel (TD7) Chilled Water Setpoint.
TracerTU ServiceTool is used to set the input signal type
from the factory default of 2-10 VDC to that of 4-20 mA.
TracerTU is also used to install or remove the External

field installation, or can be used to enable or disable the feature (if installed).
EDLS and ECWS Analog Input Signal Wiring Details:
Both the ECWS and EDLS can be connected and setup as either a 2-10 VDC (factory default), 4-20 mA, or resistance input (also a form of 4-2OmA) as indicated below. Depending on the type to be used, theTracerTU Service
Tool must be used to configure the LLID andthe MP forthe
proper input type that is being used.This is accomplished by a setting change on the Custom Tab of the Configuration View withinTracerTU.
Important: For proper unit operation, BOTH the EDLS
and ECWS settings MUST be the same (2-10
VDC or 4-20mA), even if only one input is to
be used.
The J2-3 and J2-6 terminal is chassis grounded and
terminal J2- 1 and J2-4 can be used to source 12VDC.The ECLS uses terminals J2-2 and J2-3. ECWS uses terminals J2-5 and J2-6. Both inputs are only compatible with high-side current sources.

External Demand Limit Setpoint (EDLS) Option
Similar to the above, the UC800 also provides for an optional External Demand Limit Setpoint that will accept either a 2-10 VDC (default) or a 4-20 mA signal. The Demand Limit Setting can also be set via theTracer
AdaptiView™TD7 or through digital communication with
Tracer (Comm 3).The arbitration of the various sources of
demand limit is described in the flow charts at the end of this section.The External Demand Limit Setpoint may be changed from a remote location by hooking up the analog input signal to the 1K24 LLIDterminals 2 and 3. Refer to the following paragraph on Analog Input Signal Wiring Details.The following equations apply for EDLS:

Chilled Water Reset (CWR)
UC800 resets the chilled water temperature set point based on either return water temperature, or outdoor air temperature. Return Reset is standard, Outdoor Reset is optional.
The following shall be selectable:
One of three ResetTypes: None, Return Water Temperature Reset, Outdoor AirTemperature Reset, or
Constant Return WaterTemperature Reset.
Reset Ratio Set Points.
For outdoor air temperature reset there shall be both positive and negative reset ratio's.

When any type of CWR is enabled, the MP will step the Active CWS toward thedesired CWS' (based on the above
equations and setup parameters) at a rate of 1 degree F every 5 minutes until the Active CWS equals the desired CWS'.This applies when the chiller is running.
When the chiller is not running, CWS is reset immediately
(within one minute) for Return Reset and at a rate of 1 degree F every 5 minutes for Outdoor Reset.The chiller will start at theDifferential to Start value above a fullyreset CWS or CWS' for both Return and Outdoor Reset.
AFD Drive
TraneTR200 drive is an electronic motor controller that
converts AC mains input into a variable AC waveform output.The frequency and voltage of the output are regulated to control the motor speed or torque.
TR200 drive includes the following features:
Soft start to minimize inrush current
Improved harmonic mitigation with DC link reactor
Integrated power fuse
Graphical LCD keypad
Unit Mounted with factory pre-wiring
‘Trane Drive Utility’ for configuration and tracking
See Service Manual BAS-SVM01*-EN for more information.
In addition to Return and Outdoor Reset, the MP provides a menu item for the operator to select a Constant Return Reset. Constant Return Reset will reset the leaving water temperature set point so as to provide a constant entering water temperature.The Constant Return Reset equation is the same as the Return Reset equation except on selection of Constant Return Reset, the MP will automatically set Ratio, Start Reset, and Maximum Reset to the following.
RATIO = 100%
START RESET = Design DeltaTemp.
MAXIMUM RESET = Design DeltaTemp.
The equation for Constant Return is then as follows:
CWS' = CWS + 100% (Design DeltaTemp. - (TWE -TWL)) and CWS' > or = CWS
and CWS' - CWS < or = Maximum Reset

Operating Principles
Refrigerant Circuit
Each unit has two refrigerant circuits, with one rotary screw compressor per circuit. Each refrigerant circuit includes compressor suction and discharge service valves, liquid line shut off valve, removable core filter, liquid line sight glass with moisture indicator, charging port, high pressure and low pressure safety valve and electronic expansion valve. Fully modulating compressor and electronic expansion valve provide variable capacity modulation over the entire operating range.

The chiller uses a shell and tube evaporator design with
refrigerant evaporating onthe shell sideand water flowing inside tubes having enhanced surfaces (states 4 to 1).The suction lines are designed to minimize pressure drop (states 1 to1b) the compressor isa twin-rotor helical rotary compressor designed similarly to the compressors offered in otherTrane screw compressor based chiller (states 1b to 2).The discharge lines include a highly efficient oil separation system that removes 99.8% of the oil from the refrigerant stream going to the heat exchangers (states 2 to 2b). De-superheating, condensing and sub-cooling are accomplished in a microchannel cooled heat exchanger where refrigerant is condensed inside the microchannel (states 2b to 3b). Refrigerant flow through the systemis balanced by an electronic expansion valve (states 3b to 4).
Refrigerant and Oil
Use only R-134a or R-513A as shown on unit nameplate, and selected in unit model number digit 16.
Digit 16 =1 or 3: R-513A
Digits 16 = 2 or 4: R-134a
The Sintesis™ chiller uses environmentally friendly
refrigerants.Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified.The Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.
R-134a and R-513A are medium pressure refrigerants.
They may not be used in any condition that would cause
the chiller to operate in a vacuum without a purge system. Sintesis is not equipped with a purge system.Therefore, the chiller may not be operated in a condition that would result in a saturated condition in the chiller of -15°F (-26°C)

or lower.
Use only the specific POE oil as designated on the unit nameplate.
Compressor and Lube Oil System
The rotary screw compressor is semi-hermetic, direct
drive, with capacity control via an adaptive frequency drive, rolling element bearings, differential refrigerant pressure oil pump and oil heater.The motor is a suction gas cooled, hermetically sealed, two-pole squirrel cage induction motor.
Oil separator is provided separate from the compressor. Oil filtration is provided internal to the compressor. Check valves in the compressor discharge and lube oil system are also provided.
Condenser and Fans
The air-cooled microchannel condenser coils use all
aluminum brazed fin construction.The condenser coil has an integral subcooling circuit.The maximum allowable working pressure of the condenser is 350 psig. Condensers are factory proof and leak tested at 525 psig. Coils can be cleaned with high pressure water.
Direct-drive vertical-discharge airfoil condenser fans are dynamically balanced.The condenser fan motors are permanent magnet motors with integrated drive to provide variable speed fan control for all fans.
RTAF-SVX001A-EN 33
Page 34
Operating Principles
All condenser fan motors are designed with permanently lubricated ball bearings and internal temperature and current overload protection.
Evaporator
The evaporator is a tube-in-shell heat exchanger design
constructed from carbon steel shells and tubesheets with internally and externally finned seamless copper tubes mechanically expanded into the tube sheets.The evaporator is designed,tested and stamped in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for a refrigerant side working pressure of 200 psig. The evaporator is designed for a water side working pressure of 150 psig.
Standard water connections aregrooved forVictaulic style pipe couplings, with flange style connections optionally available. Waterboxes are only available in a 2 pass configuration and include a vent, drain and fittings for temperature control sensors. A factory installed flow switch is installed on the supply waterbox in the evaporator inlet connection.
Evaporators are insulated with 3/4 inch closed cell insulation.
Evaporator shell heaters and waterbox heaters with thermostat are provided to help protect the evaporator from freezing at ambient temperatures down to
-4°F (-20°C).
Note: A separate field supplied 120V power source is
required to power the evaporator freeze protection. See “Installer-Supplied Components,” p. 25 and
“Freeze Avoidance,” p. 23for more information.

Rotary Switches
There are three rotary switches on the front of the UC800
controller. Use these switches to define a three-digit address when the UC800 is installed in a BACnet or MODBUS system (e.g., 107, 127, etc.).
Note: Valid addresses are 001 to 127 for BACnet and 001
to 247 for MODBUS.
LED Description and Operation
There are 10 LEDs on the front of the UC800. Figure 17
shows the locations of each LED and Table 16 describes their behavior in specific instances.

The TX LED blinks green at the data transfer rate when the UC800 transfers data to other devices on the link.
The Rx LED blinks yellow at the data transfer rate when the UC800 receives data from other devices on the link.
The LINK LED is solid green if the Ethernet link is connected and communicating.
The ACT LED blinks yellow at the data transfer rate when data flow is active on the link.
The Service LED is solid green when pressed. For qualified service technicians only. Do not use.
Important: Maintain at least 6 inches between low-
voltage (<30V) and high voltage circuits. Failure to do so could result i electrical noise that could distort the signals carried by the low-voltage wiring, including IPC.
Tracer AdaptiViewTD7 Display
Operator Interface
Information is tailored to operators, service technicians, and owners. When operating a chiller, there is specific information you need on a day-to-day basis—setpoints, limits, diagnostic information, and reports. Day-to-day operational information is presented at the display. Logically organized groupsof information— chillermodes of operation, active diagnostics, settings and reports put information conveniently at your fingertips.

The chiller is inhibited from starting or running by the “external stop” hardwired input.
The chiller is currently being inhibited from starting (and running), but may be allowed to start if the inhibiting or diagnostic condition is cleared. Further information is provided by the sub­mode:
The chiller is inhibited from running as the Ice Building process has been normally terminated on the evaporator entering temperature. The chiller will not start unless the ice building command (hardwired input or Building Automation System command) is removed or cycled.
The chiller is inhibited from running for a brief period of time if it is commanded from active ice building mode into normal cooling mode via the ice building hardwired input or Tracer. This allows time for the external system load to “switchover” from an ice bank to the chilled water loop, and provides for a controlled pull down of the loop’s warmer temperature. This mode is not seen if the ice making is automatically terminated on return brine temperature per the mode below.

Tracer TU
The AdaptiView™TD7 operator interface allows for daily
operational tasks and setpoint changes. However, to adequately service Sintesis chillers,Tracer tool is required. (Non-Trane personnel, contact your local
Trane office for software purchase information.)TracerTU
adds a level of sophistication that improves service technician effectiveness and minimizes chiller downtime.
This portable PC-based service-tool software supports
service and maintenance tasks, and is required for software upgrades, configuration changes and major service tasks.
TracerTU serves as a common interface to allTrane
chillers,and will customize itself based onthe properties of the chiller with which it is communicating.Thus, the service technician learns only one service interface.
The panel bus is easy to troubleshoot using LED sensor
verification. Only the defective device is replaced.Tracer
TU can communicate with individual devices or groups of
devices.
All chiller status, machine configuration settings,
customizable limits, and up to 100 active or historic diagnostics are displayed through the service-tool software interface.
LEDs and their respectiveTracerTU indicators visually confirm the availability of each connected sensor, relay, and actuator.

Unit Start-Up
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
Ensure that the compressor and oil sump heaters have been operating properly for a minimum of 24 hours before starting. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage.
If required, once the system has been operating for approximately 30 minutes and has become stabilized, complete the remaining start-up procedures, as follows:
1. Check the evaporator refrigerant pressure and the condenser refrigerant pressure under Refrigerant Report on the AdaptiView ™TD7.The pressures are referenced to sea level (14.6960 psia).
2. Check the EXV sight glasses after sufficient time has elapsed to stabilize the chiller.The refrigerant flow past the sight glasses should be clear. Bubbles in the refrigerant indicate either low refrigerant charge or excessive pressure drop in the liquid line or a stuck open expansion valve. A restriction in the line can sometimes be identified by a noticeable temperature differential between the two sides of the restriction. Frost will often form on the line at this point. Proper refrigerant charges are shown in the General Information Section.
Important: A clear sight glass alone does not mean that
the system is properly charged. Also check system subcooling, liquid level control and unit operating pressures.
If chiller is limited by any limiting conditions, contact local
Trane service organization for more information.

Maintenance
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Failure to disconnect power and discharge capacitors before servicing could result in death or serious injury. Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects and discharge all motor start/run capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/ tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized. For variable frequency drives or other energy storing components provided by Trane or others, refer to the appropriate manufacturer’s literature for allowable waiting periods for discharge of capacitors. Verify with an appropriate voltmeter that all capacitors have discharged.
For additional information regarding the safe discharge of capacitors, see PROD-SVB06A-EN
This section describes the basic chiller preventive
maintenance procedures, and recommends the intervals at which these procedures should be performed. Use of a periodic maintenance program is important to ensure the best possible performance and efficiency from a Sintesis™ chiller.
Use Operator Log (see “Log and Check Sheets,” p. 86)to record an operating history for unit.The log serves as a valuable diagnostic tool for service personnel. By observing trends in operating conditions, an operator can anticipate and prevent problem situations.
If unit does not operate properly during inspections, see
“Diagnostics,” p. 66.
Recommended Maintenance
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
Do not use detergents to clean coils. Use clean water only. Use of detergents on coils could cause damage to coils.
Monthly
Perform all weekly maintenance procedures.
Record the system subcooling.
Record the system superheat.
Make any repairs necessary.
Annual
Perform all weekly and monthly procedures
Check the oil level while the unit is off. See “Oil Sump
Level Check,” p. 63.
Routine changing of the oil is notrequired. Make an
oil analysis to determine the condition of the oil.
HaveTrane or another qualified laboratory perform a compressor oil analysis to determine system moisture content and acid level.
Contact a qualified service organizationto leak-test the chiller, to check operating and safety controls, and to inspect electrical components for deficiencies
Clean and repaint any areas that show signs of corrosion.
Clean the condenser coils. See “Microchannel
Condenser Coils,” p. 65.
Perform all maintenance procedures and inspections at the recommended intervals.This will increase the life of the chiller and minimize the possibility of costly failures.
Weekly
At AdaptiView™TD7 orTracer™TU service tool, check pressure for evaporator, condenser and intermediate oil.
Observe liquid line sight glass on EXV. If liquid line sight glass has bubbles measure the subcooling entering the EXV. Subcooling should always be greater than 10°F.
Important: A clear sight glass alone does not mean that
the system is properly charged. Also check the rest of the system operating conditions.
Inspect the entire system for unusual operation.
Inspect the condenser coils for dirt and debris. If the coils are dirty, see
p. 65.

Maintenance
Refrigerant and Oil Charge Management
Proper oil and refrigerant charge is essential for proper unit operation, unit performances, and environmental protection. Only trained and licensed service personnel should service the chiller.
Table 24 lists baseline measurements for Sintesis™ units
running at AHRI standard operating conditions. If chiller measurements vary significantly from values listed below, problems may exist with refrigerant and oil charge levels. Contact your localTrane office.
Note: Low temperature applications units will have
values that vary from Table 24. Contact your local
Trane office for more information.

The oil level in the sump can be measured to give an
indication of the system oil charge. Follow the procedures below to measure the level.
1. Run the unit as near to full load as possible for a minimum of 30 minutes. For an accurate reading, 40or more minutes at full load with normal/steady discharge superheat readings and no limits/warnings is recommended. Assessing oil charge after running at minimum or low loads may lead to an inaccurate reading.
2. Cycle the compressor offline.
3. Let the chiller sit (powered, but offline) to allow the oil separator
heater to boil off the refrigerant that may be in the oil separator. An initial assessment of the oil separator level maybe made after 30 minutes of heater ON dwell time, but oil charge adjustments should not be made without allowing the oil heaters to run for a minimum of 4 hours.
RTAF-SVX001A-EN 63
Page 64
Maintenance
Important: Do not operate the unit with the sight glass
service valves opened. Close the valves while running before and after checking the oil level. Oil system function may be affected and level reading will not be accurate during operation if valves are opened during operation.
4. Attach a 3/8” or 1/2” hose with a sightglass in the middle to the oil sump servicevalve (3/8” flare) and the oil separator service valve (3/8” flare). See
p. 63 for valve locations.
Note: Using high pressure rated clear hose with
appropriate fittings can help speed up the process. Hose must be rated to withstand system pressures as found on unit nameplate.
5. After the unit is off line for 30 minutes, move the sightglass along the side of the oil sump.
6. The nominal oil level from the bottom of the oil separator should be approximately 4 inches. Depending on running conditions and oil heater dwell time, some deviation from nominal levels is expected.
Important: If level is less than 1 inch from the bottom of
the oil separator, contact your local Trane office.
Figure 53,
Microchannel Condenser Coils
For proper operation, microchannel condenser coils must be cleaned regularly. Eliminate pollution and other residual material help to extend thelife of thecoils and the unit.
Regular coil maintenance, including annual cleaning, enhances the unit’s operating efficiency by minimizing compressor head pressure and amperage draw.The condenser coil should be cleaned at minimum once each year, or more if the unit is located in a “dirty” or corrosive environment.
Coil Cleaning
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
Do not use detergents to clean coils. Use clean water only. Use of detergents on coils could cause damage to coils.
Cleaning with cleansers or detergents is strongly discouraged due to the all-aluminum construction.Water should prove sufficient. Any breach in the tubes can result in refrigerant leaks.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Failure to disconnect power and discharge capacitors before servicing could result in death or serious injury. Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects and discharge all motor start/run capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/ tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized. For variable frequency drives or other energy storing components provided by Trane or others, refer to the appropriate manufacturer’s literature for allowable waiting periods for discharge of capacitors.

Diagnostics
Diagnostic Name (Text) and Source:
Black text is the full-context diagnostic name with few or
no abbreviations. It has no intrinsic length limit. It may be used as a guide for translation, or in ahuman interface that can handle the unlimited length text. It is not currently used in any human interface.
Where diagnostic text is different from full-context
diagnostic name:
Italicized text is intended for use on the ServiceTool or on the operator Display.
Underlined text is intended for use on LCI-C.
Diagnostic Name Source: Diagnostics may beshown in
the spec with asource of“xy”. In this case, letter “x” can be either “1” or “2” (signifying which circuit) and letter “y” can be “A” or “B” (signifying which compressor on that circuit).
AffectsTarget: Defines the “target” or what is affected
by the diagnostic. Usually either the entire Chiller, or a particular Circuit or Compressor is affected by the diagnostic (the same one as the source), but in special cases functions aremodified or disabled by the diagnostic. None implies that there is no direct affect to the chiller, sub components or functional operation.
Design Note: TU does not support the display of certain targets on its Diagnostics pages althoughthe functionality implied by this table is supported.Targets such as Evap Pump, Ice Mode, Heat Mode, Chilled Water Reset, External Setpoints etc. – are displayed as simply “Chiller” even though they do not imply a chiller shutdown – only a compromise of the specific feature.
Severity: Defines the severity of the above effect. Immediate means immediate shutdown of the affected portion; for AFD generated diagnostics, Immediate implies immediately de-energized compressor windings, while Immediate (decel)implies controlled deceleration to compressor stop. Normal means normal or friendly shutdown of the affected portion, Special Action means a special action or mode of operation (limp along) is invoked, but without shutdown, and Info means an Informational Note or Warning is generated. Design Note:
TU does not support display of “Special Action”,onits
Diagnostics pages, so that if a diagnostic has a special action defined in the table below, it will be displayed only as “Informational Warning” as long as no circuit or chiller shutdown results. If there is ashutdown and special action defined in the table, then theTU Diagnostics Page display will indicate the shutdown type only.
Persistence: Defines whether or not the diagnostic and its effects are to be manually reset (Latched), or can be either manually or automatically reset when and if the condition returns to normal (Nonlatched).
Active Modes [Inactive Modes]: States the modes or
periods of operation thatthe diagnostic is active in and, as necessary, those modes or periods that it is specifically
“not active” in as an exception to the active modes.The
inactive modes are enclosed in brackets, [ ]. Note that the modes used in this column are internal and not generally annunciated to any of the formal mode displays.
Criteria: Quantitatively defines the criteria used in generating the diagnostic and, if nonlatching, the criteria for auto reset. If more explanation is necessary a hot link to the Functional Specification is used.
Reset Level: Defines the lowest level of manual diagnostic reset command which can clear the diagnostic.
The manual diagnostic reset levels in order of priority are:
Local or Remote. For example, adiagnostic that has a reset level of Remote, can be reset byeither a remote diagnostic reset command or by a local diagnostic reset command.
HelpText: Provides for a brief description of what kind of problems might cause this diagnostic to occur. Both control system component related problems as well as chiller application related problems are addressed (as can possibly be anticipated).These help messages will be updated with accumulated field experience with the chillers.

current did not drop below 85% RLA within the Maximum Acceleration Setting setpoint. Compressor motor de-energized. See Current Overload Protection specification.
The compressor did not come up to speed (fall to <85%RLA) in the allotted time defined by the Maximum Acceleration Timer and a transition was forced (motor put across the line) at that time. This applies to all starter types.
Compressor current exceeded overload time vs. trip characteristic. Must trip = 140% RLA, Must hold=125%, nominal trip 132.5% in 30 seconds
Nom. trip: 60 seconds at greater than 112.5%,  2.5%, Auto Reset at 110% or less for 10 cont secs.
a) No current was sensed on one or two of the current transformer inputs while running or starting (See Nonlatching Power Loss Diagnostic for all three phases lost while running). Must hold = 20% RLA. Must trip = 5% RLA. Time to trip shall be longer than guaranteed reset on Starter Module at a minimum, 3 seconds maximum. Actual design trip point is 10%. The actual design trip time is 2.64 seconds. b) If Phase reversal protection is enabled and current is not sensed on one or more current xformer inputs. Logic will detect and trip in a maximum of 0.3 seconds from compressor start.
A phase reversal was detected on the incoming current. On a compressor startup, the phase reversal logic must detect and trip in a maximum of 0.3 second from compressor start.
The compressor had previously established currents while running and then all three phases of current were lost. Design: Less than 10% RLA, trip in 2.64 seconds. This diagnostic will preclude the Phase Loss Diagnostic and the Transition Complete Input Opened Diagnostic from being called out. To prevent this diagnostic from occurring with the intended disconnect of main power, the minimum time to trip must be greater than the guaranteed reset time of the Starter module. Note: This diagnostic prevents nuisance latching diagnostics due to a momentary power loss – It does not protect motor/compressor from uncontrolled power reapplication. See Momentary Power Loss Diagnostic for this protection. This diagnostic is not active during the start mode before the transition complete input is proven. Thus a random power loss during a start would result in either a “Starter Fault Type 3” or a “Starter Did Not Transition” latching diagnostic.
A 30% Current Imbalance has been detected on one phase relative to the average of all 3 phases for 90 continuous seconds.
The Starter module detected a continual loss of communication with the main processor for greater than the Communications Loss Time bound setpoint.
Detected compressor currents greater than 10% RLA on any or all phases when the compressor was commanded off. Detection time shall be 5 second minimum and 10 seconds maximum. On detection and until the controller is manually reset: generate diagnostic, energize the appropriate alarm relay, continue to energize the Evap Pump Output, continue to command the affected compressor off, fully unload the effected compressor and command a normal stop to all other compressors. For as long as current continues, perform liquid level, oil return, and fan control on the circuit effected.

While in the Starter Dry Run Mode either 50% Line Voltage was sensed at the Potential Transformers or 10% RLA Current was sensed at the Current Transformers.
This is a specific starter test where 1M(1K1) is closed first and a check is made to ensure that there are no currents detected by the CT's. If currents are detected when only 1M is closed first at start, then one of the other contactors is shorted.
a. This is a specific starter test where the Shorting Contactor (1K3) is individually energized and a check is made to ensure that there are no currents detected by the CT's. If current is detected when only S is energized at Start, then 1M is shorted. b. This test in a. above applies to all forms of starters (Note: It is understood that many starters do not connect to the Shorting Contactor.).
As part of the normal start sequence to apply power to the compressor, the Shorting Contactor (1K3) and then the Main Contactor (1K1) were energized. 1.6 seconds later there were no currents detected by the CT's for the last 1.2 Seconds on all three phases. The test above applies to all forms of starters except Adaptive Frequency Drives.

The Transition Complete input was found to be opened with the compressor motor running after a successful completion of transition. This is active only for Y-Delta, Auto-Transformer, Primary Reactor, and X-Line Starters. To prevent this diagnostic from occurring as the result of a power loss to the contactors, the minimum time to trip must be greater than the trip time for the power loss diagnostic.
The Transition Complete input was found to be shorted before the compressor was started. This is active for all electromechanical starters.

The compressor discharge temperature exceeded 199.4F (without oil cooler) or 230ºF (with oil cooler). This diagnostic will be suppressed during Stopping mode or after the compressor has stopped. Note: As part of the Compressor High Temperature Limit Mode (aka Minimum Capacity Limit), the compressor shall be forced loaded as the filtered discharge temperature reaches 190ºF (without oil coolers), or 220ºF (with oil coolers).
GP2 Cprsr: The differential pressure for the respective circuit was above 275 Psid (1890 kPa) for 2 consecutive samples 5 seconds apart.
The evaporator refrigerant pressure of either circuit has risen above 190 psig. The evaporator water pump relay will be de-energized to stop the pump regardless of why the pump is running. The diagnostic will auto reset and the pump will return to normal control when all of the evaporator pressures fall below 185 psig. The primary purpose is to stop the evaporator water pump and its associated pump heat from causing refrigerant side pressures, close to the evaporator relief valve setting, when the chiller is not running, such as could occur with Evap Water Flow Overdue or Evaporator Water Flow Loss Diagnostics.
The evaporator shell refrigerant pressure is installed, is valid, and has risen above 190 psig.
- De-energize evaporator water pump regardless of why the pump is running.
- Open the circuit’s EXV to 20% to allow refrigerant flow to other parts of the chiller, if liquid line refrigerant pressure is less than 170 psig. Return EXV to normal control (allow it to close until needed for circuit operation) if liquid line refrigerant pressure is greater than 175 psig. Automatically clear diagnostic when evaporator shell refrigerant pressure is valid and drops below 180 psig.
- Allow evaporator water pump to return to normal control.
- Return circuit’s EXV to normal control (allow it to close until needed for circuit operation). Primary causes of this diagnostic:
- Evaporator water pump heat transferred to evaporator, either by flow blockage, or by lack of heat dissipation in the water loop in the presence of flow.
- Commissioning unit in high ambient temperature environments.
- Water box heater thermostat failed closed.

Either the leaving or the entering water temperature exceeded the high evap water temp limit (TU service menu settable –default 105F(65.55C), range 80F(26.67C)-150F(65.55C) for 15 continuous seconds. The evaporator water pump relay will be de-energized to stop the pump but only if it is running due one of the diagnostics listed on the left. The diagnostic will auto reset and the pump will return to normal control when both the entering and leaving temperatures fall 5°F below the trip setting. The primary purpose is to stop the evaporator water pump and its associated pump heat from causing excessive waterside temperatures and waterside pressures when the chiller is not running but the evap pump is on due to either Evap Water Flow Overdue, Evaporator Water Flow Loss, or Low Evap Temp – Unit Off Diagnostics. This diagnostic will not auto clear solely due to the clearing of the enabling diagnostic.

The main processor has successfully come out of a reset and built its application. A reset may have been due to a power up, installing new software or configuration. This diagnostic is immediately and automatically cleared and thus can only be seen in the Historic Diagnostic List in Tracer TU.
The system differential pressure was below 7.7 Psid (53 kPa) for 6 seconds after the 11 seconds ignore time relative to cprsr/circuit startup had expired.
The Intermediate Oil Pressure Sensor for this cprsr is reading a pressure either above its respective circuit’s Condenser Pressure by 15 Psia or more, or below its respective Suction Pressure 10 Psia or more for 30 seconds continuously.
Service Pumpdown cycle for this circuit was terminated abnormally due to excessive time (RTAF max Service Pumpdown = 4 min.).
When restart inhibit warning is enabled, the warning exists when unit has been inhibited from starting and is cleared when a start of a compressor is possible (Start-to-Start Timer expires)
A high level software watchdog has detected a condition in which there was a continuous 1 minute period of compressor operation, with neither Evaporator water flow nor a” contactor interrupt failure” diagnostic active. The presence of this software error message suggests an internal software problem has been detected. The events that led up to this failure, if known, should be recorded and transmitted to Trane Controls Engineering.

Reported if state chart misalignment in stopped or inactive state occurred while a compressor was seen to be operating and this condition lasted for at least 1 minute (cmprsr operation due to Service Pumpdown or with Contactor Interrupt Failure diagnostic is excluded). The presence of this software error message suggests an internal software problem has been detected. The events that led up to this failure, if known, should be recorded and transmitted to Trane Controls Engineering.
Reported if state chart misalignment occurred inferred from the Capacity Control, Circuit, or Compressor State Machines remaining in the Stopping state for more than 3 minutes. The presence of this software error message suggests an internal software problem has been detected. The events that led up to this failure, if known, should be recorded and transmitted to Trane Controls Engineering.
The current value for the cumulative starts and or hours for the given compressor have been modified by a write override from TU.
The Starter module status reported back that it is stopped when the MP thinks it should be running and no Starter diagnostic exist. This diagnostic will be logged in the active buffer and then automatically cleared. This diagnostic could be caused by intermittent communication problems from the Starter to the MP, or due to mis­binding
The respective circuit’s evaporator pressure dropped below 80% of the current Low Evap Refrig Press Cutout setting (see above) or 8 psia, whichever is less, regardless of the running state of the circuit’s compressor. Note: Unlike previous products, even if the circuit associated with the suction pressure sensor is locked out, it will not defeat the protection afforded by this diagnostic.
