Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the
earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released into 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.
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 according to local rules. For the
USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for
handling, reclaiming, recovering, and recycling 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 the responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws
and follow them.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow the 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/national electrical codes.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken could result in death
or serious injury. Technicians, to protect themselves from potential
electrical, mechanical, and chemical hazards, MUST follow precautions in this
manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels, as well as the instructions
below:
- 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 Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.
- When working with or around hazardous chemicals, ALWAYS refer to the appropriate SDS and OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling 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 by OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific requirements for arc flash protection, before 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 THE INTENDED VOLTAGE.

General Information
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing this unit. The purpose of this bulletin is to advise customers of the parts and procedures required to replace the variable speed drive originally used to control condenser fans in RTAA and RTCA units. These parts were present on 70 to 125 ton, RTAA chillers and RTCA condensers when ordered with the low ambient operation option. The original drive will be phased out, and the parts mentioned below will be the most up-to-date and cost-effective substitutes.
Notes:
- This upgrade has been designed for units in good working order. It is assumed that the unit is charged with the correct amount of refrigerant and oil. Review all coils, fan blades, starters, and controls to determine if any other service procedures are required during equipment downtime.
- RTCA condensers are most commonly paired with RTUA chillers. These instructions have been written for this configuration.
Kit Selection and Contents
Obtain the required parts from the local Trane Parts Center. If the specific part number cannot be determined, contact the local Trane Parts Center with the unit model number or serial number. Two kits are available. Select the correct drive replacement kit based on the existing unit voltage per Table 1 below. In addition to the correct drive replacement kit, some additional field-provided material will be required. See “Field-Provided Material,” for a suggested list of materials.

Tools Required
Common hand tools and hand-held power tools are required to perform the retrofit. A trained service technician with a well-stocked tool chest should have all of the necessary tools to perform the job. The following list is a sampling of the tools that one could expect to find inside the technician’s tool chest:
- Electric drill and bit set
- Screwdrivers
- Wrenches
- Ratchet and socket set
- Nut driver set
- Wire cutter
- Wire stripper
The following special tools are also required to perform the retrofit:
- If possible, an EPROM extractor should be used to remove the existing EPROM. The suggested EPROM extractor is Digikey K158-ND. If an EPROM extractor is not available a small flat-blade screwdriver may be used.
Field-Provided Material
Some field-provided material will be required to perform the RTAA/RTCA fan controls retrofit. A partial list of materials is provided here to help the technician plan ahead and to avoid material shortages at the job site.
- Wire, #16 AWG – A control wire will be required to make the connections between components.
- Wire markers will be required to identify field wiring.
- Wire nuts and splicers may be required if splicing wires in the control panel.
- Cable ties help to clean up wiring runs.
- Assorted fasteners for component mounting and/or relocation.
- Trane has determined that inverter duty motors provide a much more robust system when combined with variable-speed drives. As with the previous drive, the fan motor should also be replaced with an inverter-duty-rated motor if it is not already an inverter-duty-rated motor. The service part numbers for RTAA/RTCA inverter duty motors are found in the table below. For additional help, contact the local Trane Parts Center with the unit model number or serial number.
- The fan drive retrofit kits have been sized to fit in the main RTAA control enclosure. Some existing components may need to be relocated. The standard RTCA control enclosure is not large enough for the drive retrofit kits. A separate enclosure is required for RTCA. PNL34974 is recommended. PNL34974 may optionally be used with RTAA if additional cabinet space is desired.
- When using a separate enclosure, such as PNL34974, additional mounting hardware may be required depending on the selected mounting location. Additional conduit, fittings, and wire will also be required.
- Previous applications of TR170 drives, including earlier versions of this kit, included a blanket heater and temperature control to protect the drives from low temperatures. This heater and control is no longer required and has been removed from this kit. These service parts, HTR16716 and CNT06627, may be purchased separately if desired.

Pre-Installation
WARNING
PPE for Arc/Flash Required!
Failure to wear appropriate PPE could result in death or serious injury. On
this unit, if the handle shield is cracked the circuit breaker could arc/flash
when reset. To avoid being injured, technicians MUST put on all necessary
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), by NFPA70E for arc/flash protection,
before entering the starter panel cabinet.
This retrofit consists of replacing and installing components and wiring in the control panel and an electrical enclosure under the condenser coil. See Figure 2 and Figure 3, for examples of original drive mounting.
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 the discharge of
capacitors. Verify with a CAT III or IV voltmeter rated per NFPA 70E that all
capacitors have discharged.
- Turn off power to the machine, water pumps, and any field-provided control power. For RTCA units, also remove the power from the associate chiller (RTUA).
- Secure all disconnect switches following lockout/tagout safety procedures.
- Open the control panel doors and verify all power has been removed.
- Remove any louvers or wire panels that may prevent access to the existing variable speed drives.
- Verify the condenser fan motor is inverter duty-rated. If it is not, replace the motor. See “Field-Provided Material,” for motor identification.
- Record the following information from the condenser fan motor nameplate. This information will be needed during drive configuration.
- Motor Power
- Motor Voltage
- Motor Frequency
- Motor Current
- Motor Nominal Speed
- If using a new additional enclosure, such as PNL34974, for drive mounting, select a convenient location and mount. Avoid mounting the enclosure under the condenser coil or in any location that would prevent access to other serviceable components.
Control Panel Modifications
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

2TB1-4| Green| GND - See Figure 5 for an example of the drive enclosure with one drive removed.
- Replace the enclosure cover.
New Drive Installation
-
Locate a convenient location in the control panel for installation. This may be a new enclosure such as PNL34974. The front of the drive will need to be accessible for entering drive parameters. The top and bottom of the drive require 4 inches of clear space for ventilation. The drive assembly must be mounted directly to the back of the enclosure to allow the door to close.
Some existing components may need to be relocated. For example, 575-V units have an autotransformer that may be moved to under the panel mullion.
This kit is for a single-drive replacement, however, the other drive may need to be replaced in the future. Leave enough space for another drive to be installed in the future. -
Place the drive assembly in the desired location and mark locations for the drive assembly mounting holes on the back of the enclosure. Remove the assembly.
-
The following hardware is provided for mounting the drive assembly. Drill a 3/16-inch pilot hole at each marked location. Lift the assembly back into place and mount using the included hardware.

EPROM Installation
NOTICE
Static Sensitive Components!
- Static charges on the human body can regularly reach voltages of more than 12,000 volts.
- You MUST follow the instructions below to reduce the risk of damage to the electronics. Before handling the module, discharge yourself by touching the panel sheet metal or use an anti-static wrist strap.
For RTAA units, the following control work should be completed in the unit control panel. For RTCA units, the EPROM work needs to be completed in the RTUA control panel.
-
Record the software part number and extension found on the EPROM provided in the upgrade kit, before installing into the module. These numbers will be used later to verify the correct EPROM was installed.
-
Disconnect power from the compressor module.
-
Before handling the compressor module, discharge yourself by touching the panel sheet metal or using an anti-static wrist strap.
Important: See Figure 4, for module locations. Compressor modules 1U4 and 1U5 are located BEHIND other modules. -
Remove 1U4 (compressor A) and 1U5 (compressor B) modules from the panel. The modules have key holes so the mounting screws need only be loosened but not removed. Note where the various wires are plugged into the module connectors. The plugs may be labeled to avoid confusion when reconnecting. If the module is beneath another, the connectors on just one side of the upper module may be removed and the module hinged out to access the lower module.
-
Place the module on a conductive bench, i.e. metal surface. While working, you and the module must be in contact with the bench to prevent you or the module from developing a damaging static discharge.
-
Remove the fish paper insulator.
-
Remove the screws securing the PCB assembly to the sheet metal cover. The screws are located under the fish paper. Touch the screwdriver to the metal bench before use to avoid a damaging static discharge to the module.
-
There are eight #6-32 screws located under the compressor module. Remove all eight.
-
The EPROM is the chip that is installed in the socket. It is designated as U2 on the compressor module. This is shown below in Figure 7.
-
Note the orientation of EPROM before removing it. The notch in the EPROM should line up with the notch in the socket and the notch drawn in the outline on the PCB.
-
Touch the screwdriver used to remove the EPROM to the metal bench before use to avoid a damaging static discharge to the module. The screwdriver must be a small blade type with a 1/8 to 3/16-inch blade.
-
Remove the EPROM by inserting a small blade-type screwdriver between the EPROM and the socket. Keep the blade near either row of pins of the EPROM since the socket has no bottom in its center. The screwdriver could damage the PCB if it enters this center region. Avoid contacting the screwdriver to other components. Pry the EPROM up, trying not to bend any pins. Work the screwdriver further under the EPROM keeping the blade snug to the row of pins.
-
Lift the EPROM from its socket.
-
Install the new EPROM. Align the notch in the EPROM to the notch in the socket and on the PCB as the original EPROM was. Make sure that the PCB assembly is lying flat on the bench surface when pressing down on the EPROM. Press the EPROM firmly into place.
-
Inspect the EPROM and the socket to make sure that all pins are lined up and inserted correctly. Verify that there are no bent pins.
-
Install the sheet metal cover and fish paper. Torque screws 8 in-lbs minimum and 11 in-lbs maximum.
-
Install the module.
-
Verify that all of the connections are correct and that the mounting screws are tight.
-
The EPROM includes a sticky label that indicates the replacement of the EPROM. Apply the label to the outside of the compressor module. This will alert a technician that a replacement EPROM will need to be ordered in the event of module replacement.
Wiring
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 the discharge of
capacitors. Verify with a CAT III or IV voltmeter rated per NFPA 70E that all
capacitors have discharged.
Power wiring, motor wiring, and drive signal wiring all must be relocated from the fan contactor and drive fuses to the new drive assembly. Table 6 indicates the wiring connections that must be made. Remove any existing wiring from terminals being reused.
Note:
- Wire numbering may vary from unit to unit. Wire identification numbers are provided for reference only and must be verified in the field. Refer to the included kit schematics for a more detailed description of kit wiring.
- Replacement drives utilize a dry contact as an ENABLE signal. Connecting any external voltage source to drive terminals 12 or 18 will result in damage to the drives. When using a contactor to enable a drive, remove all existing wires connected to the line and load terminal before connecting these terminals to the drive. Use an individual pole as the ENABLE signal.
