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 situation that 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.

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 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.

General Information

Important : Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing this unit.
The purpose of this document is to advise customers of the parts and procedures required to replace the variable speed drive originally used to control condenser fans in RTAC units built prior to end of 2011 (design sequence A0 – V0). These parts were present on RTAC chillers when ordered with the low and wide ambient operation options. The retrofit closely matches the most current design sequence for RTAC chillers. 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 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.
  • For units with 3 or 4 compressors, the retrofit can be done on a single circuit. Both circuits do not have to be changed unless needed.

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, p. 5 below. In addition to the correct drive replacement kit, some additional field-provided material will be required. See “Field-Provided Material,” p. 7 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

  • Computer having the latest version of TechView™ service software.
  • Cable to connect DynaView™ to a PC. Use a factory approved and tested USB-to-serial cable (Trane part number ADP01161). The Rover Adapter service tool provides the most reliable connection.
  • RS-232 male DB9 to female DB9 pin to pin serial cable. Note : Cable must not be a null-modem cable. Cable must be less than 50 feet in length.
  • Magnetic screwdriver (South-pole magnet TOL01341).
  • Crimping tool for barrel-crimped wire terminals.
  • Rotary tool with cutting wheel.

Field-Provided Material
Some field provided material will be required to perform the RTAC fan controls retrofit. A partial list of material is provided here to help the technician plan ahead and to avoid material shortages at the job site.

  • Wire, #16 AWG – 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.
  • The 575V units require the reuse of the existing autotransformers (1T10 and 1T11 or 2T10 and 2T11). If the autotransformers are damaged or missing, order replacements. The service part number is TRR00957.
  • Trane has determined that inverter duty motors provide a much more robust system when combined with variable speed drives. The fan motor should be replaced with an inverter duty rated motor if it is not already an inverter duty rated motor. The service part number for RTAC inverter duty motors are provided in the table below. For additional help, contact the local Trane Parts Center with the unit model number or serial number.
  • 4-compressor units and circuit 1 of 3-compressor units use a single LLID relay to enable both drives on a circuit. Previous RTAC designs used an upstream contactor or paralleled enable signals to start the drives. Neither of these configurations are applicable to the TR170 drives. An additional relay with the following minimum specifications is required: 2 pole, normally open, 24-VDC contacts, and 120-VAC coil. One of the fan contactors being replaced may be used, or relay RLY00636 and socket BAS00153 is recommended.
  • 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.

In addition to the reused unit wiring, field provided wiring must be provided to connect the new drives to unit controls (LLIDS). LLID designators are provided for reference, but they may be different on the actual unit. See Table 8, p. 14 and kit schematics for required control wiring. Remove any existing wiring from terminals being reused.
Note: 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 Quad Relay LLID to directly enable a drive, remove all existing wires connected to LLID terminals J2-10, 11, & 12 before connecting these terminals to the drive. When using an isolation relay to enable two drives on one circuit, use an individual pole for each drive.

General Start-Up Review

  1. When all components have been mounted and wired, close all electrical enclosures.

  2. Restore machine power.

  3. Place the unit in STOP to prevent unintended operation.
    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), in accordance with NFPA70E for arc/flash protection, PRIOR to entering the starter panel cabinet.

  4. Open the cover or door over the drive and verify the drive has powered up.
    Note : The drive cooling fan may be operating, even if the  unit is in standby mode.

  5. Proceed to “Binding,” p. 16.
    Note : For 3- or 4-compressor units, go to Configuration- Custom, and select the circuit you are modifying. Go to Variable Speed Fan Inverter Interface, and make proper selection.

  • Upgraded Drive: Voltage Speed signal 0 to 10VDC
  •  Original Drive: Defined by manufacturing location (model number digit 9) and design sequence (model number digits 10,11).

Binding
Important : For 3- or 4-compressor units on which only once circuit was modified, the following steps should only be performed for the modified circuit.
1U26 and 1U27 must be bound to the unit controls for proper operations.

  1. Connect a computer running Techview™ Service software to the Dynaview.

  2.  Enter the configuration view.

  3.  Locate the field Variable Speed Fan Inverter Interface and change the selection to Voltage Speed Signal 
    0 to 10VDC.

  4. When all the configuration inputs are complete, click on the Load Configurations button at the bottom of the screen. The computer will go into think mode for a few seconds. Then a window called Binding View will pop up.
    Note : The LLIDs appearing on this list are dependent on selections made previously in configuration.

  5.  Initially, 1U26 and 1U27 will show up as red frowning faces indicating they are unbound or not communicating.

  6. Select the LLID to be bound and click on the Bind button in the task bar.

  7. Locate the targeted LLID in the control panel, unit or starter and place the Trane provided magnetic screwdriver
    (South-pole magnet) near the LED under the SW1 arrow. The green LED turns on at the device

  8.  Click Yes in the dialog box.
    If the binding is successful, the red square changes to a green circle next to that LLID on the binding view menu.
    If the wrong type of LLID was selected during this binding process, an error message appears. Check the LLID Type column entry to be sure it corresponds to the physical LLID you selected with your magnet.

  9.  Repeat Step 6 through Step 8 for the other LLID.

  10.  Record in the control panel the new model number and confirmation code generated by the controls. This information will be required in the event the Dynaview™ needs to be replaced in the future.
