Overview
Note: One copy of this document ships inside the control
panel of each unit and is customer property. It must
be retained by the unit’s maintenance personnel.
This manual describes proper installation, operation, and
maintenance procedures for commercial self-contained
systems. By carefully reviewing the information within this
manual and following the instructions, the risk of improper
operation and/or component damage will be minimized. It
is important that periodic maintenance be performed to
help assure trouble free operation. A maintenance
schedule is provided at the end of this manual. Should
equipment failure occur, contact a qualified service
organization with qualified, experienced HVAC technicians
to properly diagnose and repair this equipment.
This manual covers installation, operation and
maintenance of 20-35 ton Modular Series Commercial Self
Contained products with R-410A refrigerant.
R-410A Compressors
• Use crankcase heaters which must be energized 24
hours prior to compressor start.
• Contain POE oil which readily absorbs potentially
damaging moisture from air.
• Control box includes a phase monitor to detect phase
loss, line voltage imbalance and reversal.
Refer to previous IOM versions for R-407C and R-22 units,
or contact your local Trane representative.
Refer to IntelliPak™ controls programming guide (PKG-
SVP01*-EN).
Modular Series Self-Contained
Unit Components
Commercial self-contained units are complete HVAC
systems used in floor-by-floor applications. Units are easy
to install because they feature:
• A single point power connection.
• Factory-installed and tested controls.
• A single water point connection.
• Factory-installed options.
• An internally trapped drain connection.
Evaporator fans are double width, double inlet and forward
curved with fixed pitch belt drive assembly. Variable
frequency drives are optional. EISA efficiency open drip
proof (ODP) and totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motor
options are available.
Modular self-contained units can ship as split-apart units
for installation ease. Split-apart units ship with a dry
nitrogen charge and require field refrigerant charging.
Units consist of multiple hermetically sealed 3D scroll
compressors, water-cooled condensers, an evaporator coil,
dual forward curved fans, and control panel. Unit controls
are either electromechanical thermostat or microprocessor
controls on IntelliPak unit.
Hermetically sealed 3D scroll compressor motors utilize
internal motor protection and time delays to prevent
excessive cycling.
Water-cooled condensers are shell and tube type with
internal sub-cooler. Condensers are available as
mechanically or chemically cleanable. Evaporator fan is
double width, double inlet and forward curved with a fixed
pitch belt drive assembly. Variable frequency drives are
optional. EISA efficiency open drip proof (ODP) and totally
enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motor options are available.
Package water-cooled units ship with full refrigerant and
compressor oil charge. Split apart water cooled, units ship
with dry nitrogen charge and complete compressor oil
charge.
Split apart water cooled units require field connection of
suction and liquid lines.
All units have two refrigerant circuits that include filter drier,
liquid line service valve, sight glass/moisture indicator,
thermal expansion valve with a sensing bulb and external
equalizing line, suction and discharge line access ports,
and high and low pressure cutout switches. Water-cooled
units also include pressure relief valve.
Control Options
Units may be ordered with conventional thermostat
interface or IntelliPak™ Direct Digital Control (DDC). The
controls include a human interface (HI) panel with two line
by 40 character clear English display for easy operator
interface to unit setup and control parameters. All basic
setup parameters are preset from factory.
Human Interface Panel
The HI is unit mounted and accessible without opening the
unit’s front panel. It allows easy setpoint adjustment using
the HI keypad. The HI displays all unit operating
parameters and conditions in a clear language display,
which can be configured for either English, French, or
Spanish.
The optional remote human interface (RHI) will control up
to four self-contained units, each containing an
interprocessor communications bridge (IPCB). It has all the
same features as the unit-mounted HI except for the
service mode.
For more information on setpoint defaults and ranges and
unit programming, see the Self-Contained Programming
Guide, PKG-SVP01*-EN. A copy ships with each unit.
Unit Control Module
The UCM provides “smart” unit control with safety features
and control relays for pumps, dampers, etc. These
modules are referred to as unit control modules (UCM). In
