CTV-SVU01B-EN • Tracer AdaptiView Display Operations Guide 5
Introduction
The Tracer AdaptiView™ display provides a means for viewing data and for making
operational changes on CenTraVac™ chiller models CVHE, CVHF, and CVHG.
The purpose of this guide is to assist you in using the Tracer AdaptiView display. The
guide describes how to access the screens and the types of information that appear on
the screens.
Equipment Description
The basic equipment features of the Tracer AdaptiView display are described here.
Hardware
The Tracer AdaptiView display is mounted on or near the chiller control panel. It can be
attached to the chiller by an arm that can extend 11 inches. Five pivot points enable full
articulation as described in the following specifications and in the illustration:
• Two horizontal pivots points 90º right or left (180º total)
• Two vertical pivots points: 90º degrees up or down (180º total)
• Rotation: 135º clockwise and 135º counterclockwise (270º total)

Introduction
Screen characteristics
The 12.1-inch VGA touch-sensitive color screen displays data in either inches and pounds
(IP) or standard international (SI) units, and in one of twenty-four available languages.
Animated color graphics indicate the status of the chiller and its components.
AC power
The Tracer AdaptiView display receives AC power through its power cable, which is
connected to the Tracer UC800 controller. The Tracer UC800 controller must be powered
On.
Communication
A separate cable provides communication between the Tracer AdaptiView display and
the Tracer UC800 controller. Alarms are communicated immediately upon detection.
Touchscreen Guidelines
The touch screen registers the downward pressure of a touch. Light, quick, yet deliberate
presses are most effective. Touching with more pressure has no effect.
Recommended tools to use: finger, thumb, pencil eraser. Do not use a pen or pencil point,
or any other sharp or pointed object that might scratch the screen surface.
If you apply and hold pressure at more than one point, the touch screen registers only
the first touch. For example, if you press a finger on an area of the screen that is not touch
sensitive, pressing a sensitive area with another finger will not register.
Holding on to the screen with your hand can cause unintended navigation, such as from
thumb or palm pressure.

Introduction
Screen Overview
The touch-sensitive areas of the Tracer AdaptiView display screen are described in detail
in this section.
In Figure 1, three areas are identified, which correspond to the following subsections:
1. “Chiller Status Area,” p. 8
2. “Main Display Area/Home Screen,” p. 9
3. “Main Menu Area,” p. 13

Introduction
Chiller Status Area
The chiller status area (shown in Figure 1, p. 7) remains visible from every screen on the
Tracer AdaptiView display. Basic information about chiller status and control appears on
the face of the buttons and touch targets. When touched, the buttons and touch targets
open other screens that provide more information and control access. Table 1 provides
the details.
Table 1. Chiller status area
Button/Touch target Description
Chiller status button The top-level operating mode of the chiller appears on the chiller status button. Touch this
button to view the Chiller Operating Mode screen.
Note: For more information, see “Reports,” p. 19.
Alarm indicator button If an active alarm exists, the alarm indicator button appears with the alarm severity
indicated on it. If there is more than one alarm, the most severe appears. You can touch
this button as an alternate way to view the Alarms screen.
Note: For more information, see “Alarms,” p. 16.
Manual override button If a manual override exists but no active alarm exists, a manual override button appears
in the same location as the alarm indicator button. If neither an alarm nor a manual override
exist, no button appears.
If a manual override exists, you can touch this button as an alternate way to view the Manual
Control Settings screen.
Note: For more information, see “Manual Control Settings,” p. 44.
Water temperature touch target The water temperature touch target shows one of the following, depending on whether the
chiller is in heating or cooling mode (also referred to as the Active Control Type):
• If the Active Control Type is chilled water, the Evaporator Leaving Water Temperature
appears and the touch target links to the evaporator component screen.
• If the Active Control type is hot water, the Condenser Leaving Water Temperature, and
the touch target links to the condenser component screen.
Note: For more information on the evaporator and condenser component screens, see “Component
Screens,” p. 12.
Setpoint source touch target The current setpoint source is highlighted in green on the setpoint source touch target.
Touch this target to view the Setpoint Source screen, where you can change the setpoint
source.
Note: For more information, see “Changing the Setpoint Source,” p. 40.
Auto/Stop buttons Auto and Stop are toggle buttons: One appears raised when the other is appears
depressed.
•TouchAuto to activate the chiller startup process.
•TouchStop to active the chiller shutdown process.
Note: For more information, see “Stopping/Restarting Chiller Operation,” p. 14.

Introduction
Main Display Area/Home Screen
All screens appear within the main display area. The main display area is between the
chiller status area (p. 8) and the main menu area (p. 13).
Note: The main display area in Figure 1, p. 7, shows the home screen.
Chiller status information
The home screen (Figure 1, p. 7) provides the most frequently needed chiller status
information on “touch targets” (the entire white rectangular areas) for each chiller
component. Touching any touch target displays a screen with data for each component
(see “Component Screens,” p. 12). Each of the touch targets is described in Ta b l e 2 .
In the lower right corner of the screen, you can view the date and time from the home
screen as well as view additional chiller information. For details, see the last three rows
of Ta b l e 2 .
