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.
Failure to follow instructions below could result in an
explosion which could result in death or serious injury
or equipment damage. System contains oil and
refrigerant under high pressure. Recover refrigerant to
relieve pressure before opening the system. See unit
nameplate for refrigerant type. Do not use nonapproved refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or
refrigerant additives.

Model Number Description
Nameplates
The Sintesis outdoor unit nameplates are applied to the
exterior of the Control Panel. A compressor nameplate is
located on each compressor. When the unit arrives,
compare all nameplate data with ordering, submittal, and
shipping information.
Outdoor Unit Nameplate
See Figure 1 for a typical unit nameplate.The outdoor unit
nameplate provides the following information:
•Unit model and size description.
•Unit serial number.
•Identifies unit electrical requirements.
•Lists correct operating charges of R-134a and
refrigerant oil (Trane OIL00311).
•Lists unit test pressures.
•Identifies installation, operation and maintenance and
service data literature.
•Lists drawing numbers for unit wiring diagrams.
Model Number Coding System
Model numbers are composed of numbers andletters that
represent features of the equipment. Shown below is a
sample of typical unit model number.
An example of a typical unit model number (M/N) is:
Each position, or group of positions, in the model number
is used to represent a feature. Unit model number digits
are selected and assigned in accordance with the
definitions as listed in “Unit Model Number,” p. 7.For
example, position 08 of the unit model number above
contains the letter “E”. An “E” in this position means that
the unit voltage is 460/60/3.
The Sintesis RTAF units are helical-rotary type, air-cooled
chillers designed for outdoor installation.The refrigerant
circuits are factory-piped, leak tested and dehydrated.
Every unit is electrically tested for proper control
operation before shipment.
Chilled water inlet and outlet openings are covered for
shipment.The Sintesis RTAF featuresTrane’s exclusive
Adaptive Control™ logic, which monitors the control
variables that govern the operation of the chiller unit.
Adaptive control logic can adjust capacity variables to
avoid chiller shutdown when necessary, and keep
producing chilled water.The units feature two
independent refrigerant circuits. Each compressor is
controlled by a dedicated variable speed Adaptive
Frequency Drive. Each refrigerant circuit is provided with
filter,sight glass, electronic expansionvalve, and charging
valves.The shell-and-tube CHIL™ (Compact-High
performance-Integrated design-Low charge)evaporator is
manufactured in accordance with the ASME standards or
other international codes. Each evaporator is fully
insulated and equipped with water drain and vent
connection.
Units are shipped with full oil charge and can be ordered
with either a factory refrigerant charge or optional
nitrogen charge.
Accessories and Loose Parts
Check all the accessories and loose parts that are shipped
with the unit against the shipping list. Included in these
items will be the water vessel drain plugs, rigging and
electrical diagrams, service literature, which are placed
inside the control panel and/or starter panel for shipment.
If optional elastomeric isolators are ordered with the unit
(model number digit 37=1) they are shipped mounted on
the horizontal support frame of the chiller.
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.

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.

(a) Quantity of isolators varies with unit. Shorter units will not use
locations 7 and 8. See submittal for actual number required
for specific unit.
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.
18RTAF-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

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.

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

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 ModeRelay Operation
AutoInstant Close
Ice BuildingInstant Close
Tracer OverrideTimed Open
StopTimed Open
Ice CompleteInstant 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.

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:

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.

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
28RTAF-SVX001A-EN

mA each correspond to a 10 to 65°F (-12 to 18°C) external
chilled water setpoint.
The following relationships exist:

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

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:

If the EDLS input develops an open or short, the LLID will
report either a very high or very low value back to the man
processor.This will generate an informational diagnostic
and the unit will default to using the Front Panel (Tracer
AdaptiView™TD7) Current Limit Setpoint.
TheTracer™TU ServiceTool must be used to set the input

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.
•Start Reset Set Points.
•Maximum Reset Set Points.

CWS' is the new chilled water set point or the“reset CWS”
CWS is the active chilled water set point before any reset
has occurred, e.g. normally Front Panel, Tracer, or ECWS
RESET RATIO is a user adjustable gain
START RESET is a user adjustable reference
TOD is the outdoor temperature
TWE is entering evap. water temperature

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.
Refrigerant Cycle
Typical refrigerant cycle is represented on the pressure
enthalpy diagram shown in the figure below. Key state
points are indicated on the figure.The cycle for the full
load design point is represented in the plot.

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)
2b
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-EN33
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.

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.
Temporary Shutdown And
Restart
and automatically restart the pump when the unit
starts normally.
3. The unit will start normally, provided the following
conditions exist:
a. The UC800 receives a call for cooling and the
differential-to-start is above the setpoint.
b. All system operating interlocks and safety circuits
are satisfied.
Extended Shutdown Procedure
The following procedure is to be followed if the system is
to be taken out of service for an extended period of time,
e.g. seasonal shutdown:
1. Test the unit for refrigerant leaks and repair as
necessary.
2. Open the electrical disconnect for the chilled water
pump. Lock the switches in the “OPEN” position.
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
To prevent pump damage, lock the chilled water pump
disconnects open and verify pump is off before draining

Start-Up and Shutdown
Figure 44, p. 53 diagram shows the timing from a power
up event to energizing the first compressor.The shortest
allowable time would be under the following conditions:
•No motor restart inhibit time left from subsequent
starts
•Evaporator Water flow occurs quickly with pump on
command
•Power up Start Delay set to 0 minutes
Figure 44. Sequence of events: power up to starting
•Need to cool (differential to start) already exists
•Oil level is detected immediately
The above conditions would allow for a minimum power
up to starting the first compressor time of about 45
seconds (variations may exist due to options installed).
Note that it is not advisable to start a chiller “cold”, the oil
heaters should be in operation for a sufficient length of
time prior to first start. Consult the chiller’s IOM for
specifics.

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
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-EN63
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. Verify with an appropriate voltmeter that all
capacitors have discharged.
For additional information regarding the safe discharge
of capacitors, see PROD-SVB06A-EN
1. Disconnect Power to the unit.
WARNING
No Step Surface!
Failure to follow instruction below could result in death
or serious injury. Do not walk on the sheet metal drain
pan. Walking on the drain pan could cause the
supporting metal to collapse, resulting in the operator/
technician to fall.

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.

Primary Reactor, and X-Line Starters.
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.

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

The compressor discharge temperature exceeded 199.4F (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.

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 respective compressor’s motor winding thermostat is detected to
be open. The compressor shall stop within 5 seconds of this diagnostic.
The oil temperature entering the compressor exceeded 199.4°F. Remote
A high pressure cutout was detected; trip at 315 ± 5 PSIG. For AFD
compressor configurations, the HPC is connected directly to the AFD
and the UC800 will get an AFD Fault – xA diagnostic when the HPC is
tripped.
The pressure ratio for the respective circuit exceeded 12.3 for 1
contiguous minute while any compressor is running or in service
pumpdown. This pressure ratio is a fundamental limitation of the HiVi
compressor. The pressure ratio is defined as Pcond (abs)/Pevap(abs).
The neuron software in the LCI-C module does not match the chiller
type. Download the proper software into the LCI-C neuron. To do this,
use the Rover service tool, or a LonTalk® tool capable of downloading
software to a Neuron 3150®.
Bad Sensor or LLID. Note: This is the subcooled liquid line pressure

In running modes, Oil Loss Level Sensor detects lack of oil in the oil

flow).
Oil Loss Level Sensor detects a lack of oil in the oil sump feeding the
compressor for 90 seconds after EXV preposition is completed (and
before EXV equalization, if applicable) on an attempted circuit start.
Note: Compressor start is delayed pending oil detection during that
time, but not allowed once the diagnostic occurs.

The intermediate oil pressure sensor for this compressor was out of the
acceptable pressure range for 15 seconds, while the Delta Pressure was
greater than 15 Psid (172.4 kPa).: Acceptable range is 0.50 > (PC-PI)
/ (PC-PE) for the first 2.5 minutes of operation, and 0.28 > (PC-PI) /

a. The Suction Pressure dropped below 10 Psia just prior to compressor
start (after EXV preposition). b. During Early Startup Period: the
Suction Pressure fell below a pressure equal to Condenser Pressure ÷
8 but as limited to not less than 6 or greater than10 psia. c. After Early
Startup Period expires: The Suction Pressure fell below 16 Psia.
(Note: the Early Startup Period is between 1 and 5 min as an inverse
function of the Cond Temp measured at time of circuit startup).
Compressor service recommended as service interval hours have

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
