Introduction
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing
this unit.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as
required. Your personal safety and the proper operation of
this machine depend upon the strict observance of these
precautions.
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
and HCFCs such as saturated or unsaturated HFCs and
HCFCs.
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.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTIONsIndicates 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.
NOTICE Indicates a situation that could result in
equipment or property-damage only
accidents.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious
injury. All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified
personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field
wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To
avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for
field wiring installation and grounding as described in
NEC and your local/state electrical codes.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Required!
Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken
could result in death or serious injury. Technicians, in
order 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,
ALWAYSrefertotheappropriateSDSandOSHA/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 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.

WARNING
Follow EHS Policies!
Failure to follow instructions below could result in
death or serious injury.
• All Trane personnel must follow the company’s
Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) policies
when performing work such as hot work, electrical,
fall protection, lockout/tagout, refrigerant handling,
etc. Where local regulations are more stringent than
these policies, those regulations supersede these
policies.
• Non-Trane personnel should always follow local
regulations.
WARNING
Refrigerant under Positive Pressure!
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 and may be under positive pressure. Recover
refrigerant to relieve pressure before opening the
system. See unit nameplate for refrigerant type. Do not
use non-approved refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes,
or refrigerant additives.
NOTICE
Stand-Mounted AFDH Supported by
Equipment Room Floor!
Trane assumes no responsibility for equipment damage
caused by the installation of an AFDH drive version that
is specified as being incorrect for the application. A
stand-mounted version of an AFDH drive is designed to
be rigidly supported by the equipment room floor.
Therefore, a stand-mounted AFDH drive is not
recommended for use with a chiller that is equipped
with spring-type vibration or seismic isolators. Trane
recommends using a remote floor-mounted AFDH drive
in this application.
NOTICE
Incorrect Application! Adapting a Floor
Stand Kit to an E-Frame AFDH!
The smallest model E-Frame drive weighs 1203 pounds.
Any attempt to adapt the 50689890010 Floor Stand Kit
to an E-Frame model AFDH drive will be considered an
unsupported field modification to the drive unit design.
Trane assumes no responsibility for the equipment
damage caused by a stress or fatigue failure of the floor
stand kit due to any use outside of its intended
application.

General Information
This manual describes the procedures required to install
NEMA 1 AFDH Air-Cooled Adaptive Frequency Drive
package in place of existing direct mount starter,
Transition mount starter, and LiquiFlo 1.0/1.5 drive on
Trane CVHE, CVHF, CVHG model centrifugal chillers and
retrofit LiquiFlo1.0/1.5 drives.This only applies to chillers
with Tracer® AdaptiView™ controller.
E-Frame AFDH can be ordered in a unit-mounted
configuration. Voltage options include 380/400V, 460/
480V, and 575/600V.
The E-Frame units can be equipped with drive rating:
• 658 amps, 745 amps, 800 amps, 880 amps, or 990 amps
for 380V/400V.
• 590 amps, 678 amps, 730 amps, 780 amps, or 890 amps
for 460V/480V.
• 450 amps, 500 amps, 570 amps, 630 amps, 730 amps,
or 850 amps for 575V/600V.
Note: The factory installed Tracer CH530 chiller controller
system will not support an AFDH Air-Cooled
Adaptive Frequency drive. The controller system
must be upgraded to Tracer® AdaptiView™ before
an AFDH upgrade package can be installed.
The AFDH series of upgrade air-cooled Adaptive
Frequency drive packages are only intended for
installation on existing Trane chillers with CVHE, CVHF, or
CVHG model centrifugal compressors. Trane makes no
claim of suitability or performance regarding upgrade
AFDH drives on older Trane centrifugal compressor
models or on chillers made by other manufacturers.
Although there may exist successful drive retrofits to
these units, users are cautioned that Trane has not
evaluated these installations. Accordingly, Trane cannot
provide assurances regarding performance, reliability or
suitability of upgrade AFDH installations to other than
Trane model CVHE, CVHF, and CVHG compressors.

Pre-Installation
Confirming the AFDH Package can
be Properly Installed
This chapter details potential interference fit problems,
mechanical incompatibility situations, electrical code
stipulations, and electrical conduit and wiring issues that
can prevent the successful installation and/or operation of
an AFDH upgrade drive package.
Installation Considerations for Unit-
Mounted AFDH Drives
Important: Route Incoming Power Conduit to the Roof
of AFDH Cabinet! The air-cooled AFDH drive
is designed to have the incoming power
conduit routed vertically into the unit
through the removable conduit connection
cover located on the left-hand rear corner of
the cabinet roof. If the starter that is being
replaced by the AFDH drive has the
incoming power conduit routed
horizontally across the top of the starter, or
connected to the side or to the bottom of the
starter cabinet, an electrician will be
required to reconfigure the conduit and
wiring. Routing the incoming power
conduit into the AFDH cabinet anywhere
other than through the specified location on
the cabinet roof, will be considered an
unsupported field modification to the
cabinet design.
Evaluate Space Available for Rigging/
Installing Unit-mounted AFDH
All models of the E-Frame AFDH unit-mounted upgrade
drives are taller, wider, and deeper than the typical Wye
Delta unit-mounted starter they are intended to replace.
Accordingly any project should start with a careful
evaluation on whether there is ample enough space to rig
the AFDH into place and if any of the existing building
piping and conduit will not interfere with its mounting.
NOTICE
Route Incoming Power Conduit to the
Roof of AFDH Cabinet!
Routing the incoming power conduit into the AFDH
cabinet anywhere other than through the specified
location on the cabinet roof, will be considered an

LiquidFlo. Important:
•Verify electrical disconnect switch installation height
meets requirements of current NEC and/or local
codes.Typical requirement is that switch can be no
higher than 72 inches above the surface of the operator
area floor or platform. Check the potential mounted
height of the AFDH disconnect switch specially if the
chiller has large shells or mounted on structural steel.
•Other factors that affect the space required to
successfully install a stand-mounted AFDH drive
include the clearance distances specified by the local
electrical codes. Typical code regulations require an
average of 36 inches of clearance from the panel to
nonconducting surfaces and 47 inches to a conducting
surface. Check and confirm that when installed, the
drive clearances will conform to all local codes. Do not
forget to account for cabinet door swing clearances.
Note: Refer to manual section “AFDH Drive Package
Specifications,”for the dimensions and weights of
all models of AFDH drives.

Confirm Chiller Controller System
Compatibility with AFDH Drive
Before starting the process of installing the AFDH, first
confirm that the existing chiller controller system has the
hardware and/or software components required to make it
compatible with an AFDH upgrade.
The controller systems that can accept an AFDH upgrade
is Tracer® AdaptiView™.
Note: UC800 controller must be equipped with a
Tracer® AdaptiView™ software version
released in January 2019 or newer. Upload the
correct Tracer® AdaptiView™ software version
as required.
Equipment Room Ambient
Temperature and Environmental
Considerations
An air-conditioned equipment room is not a prerequisite
for the installation and operation of NEMA 1 AFDH
upgrade drive package.
However, be advised that all models of the AFDH air-
cooled drives are not suitable for installation into
equipment rooms where the ambient temperature
conditions are expected to exceed either 104°F for a
continuous 24-hour period, or where the potential
maximum ambient temperatures can exceed 113°F.
If the ambient temperatures exceed either of these
conditions, the potential exists to trigger a drive shut down
from an over temperature fault—effectively disabling the
chiller until the drive temperature drops to the factory set,
non-adjustable, safe temperature level that will allow the
drive to be restarted.
If the ambient temperature routinely exceeds either of
these conditions, the overall service life of the drive may
be compromised. Verify the drive location will meet the
environmental conditions specified in the table below.
Chiller Upgrades
The chiller condenser loop setpoint should be reset to fully
exploit the energy savings possible with a upgrade AFDH
drive. It is recommended to use Trane Option Analyzer or
a similar software to determine the optimum setpoint.
Important: Under low condenser water conditions, use
of an oil recovery system is recommended.
These systems are found on all Trane®
chillers built since 1985.
NOTICE
Excessive Cable Lengths Between AFDH
Drive and Compressor Motor!
Trane assumes no responsibility for equipment damage
caused by use of improper cable lengths. The variable
frequency drive industry recommends that the length of
the electrical cables connecting a drive unit to a motor
should be kept to less than 250 feet to protect the
motor from reflected voltage waves that can cause the
motor to fail. Cable lengths that exceed 250 feet
between the drive and the motor create the potential
for damage to occur to the motor windings and/or
insulation.

Recommended Rigging and
Lifting Procedures for AFDH Drive
Units
Unit Lifting Points
Preferred Lifting Method
The preferred method for lifting an AFDH drive unit to
position it for installation, is to use an identical individual
hoisting device at each lift point.
WARNING
Heavy Objects!
Failure to follow instructions below or properly lift unit
could result in unit dropping and possibly crushing
operator/technician which could result in death or
serious injury, and equipment or property-only damage.
Ensure that all the lifting equipment used is properly
rated for the weight of the unit being lifted. Each of the
cables (chains or slings), hooks, and shackles used to
lift the unit must be capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Lifting cables (chains or slings) may
not be of the same length. Adjust as necessary for even
unit lift.
WARNING
Improper Unit Lift!
Failure to properly lift unit in a LEVEL position could
result in unit dropping and possibly crushing operator/
technician which could result in death or serious injury,
and equipment or property-only damage. An AFDH
cabinet assembly is top heavy. Test lift unit
approximately 24 inches (61 cm) to verify proper center
of gravity lift point. To avoid dropping of unit,
reposition lifting point if unit is not level.
Do not lift such that any angle is placed on the lifting
tabs. They must only be lifted vertically.

2. AFDH E-Frame Unit front-to-rear center of gravity.

Pre-Installation
16 AFDH-SVN004C-EN
Alternative Lifting Method
If it is only possible to use a single hoisting device to lift an
AFDH drive unit to position it for installation, a spreader
bar should be used to allow adjusting the rigging as
necessary to balance the unit around its center-of-gravity
to ensure full control of the unit during lifting.
