Literature Change History

PTEC-M-1 (September 1997)

Original issue of manual; specifically

intended for use by experienced

service technicians. Provides

operation and maintenance

procedures for PTEC and PTHC units

of “ C” and later designs. Unit

specifications, performance data and

typical wiring diagram(s) are also

included. (RS4200002 397)

Environmental Accountability

Policy

Trane urges that all HVAC servicers working

on Company equipment or any

manufacturer’s products, make every effort to

eliminate, if possible, or vigorously reduce

the emission of CFC, HCFC and HFC

refrigerants to the atmosphere resulting from

installation, operation, routine maintenance,

or major service on this equipment. Always

act in a responsible manner to conserve

refrigerants for continued usage even when

acceptable alternatives are available.

Recover and Recycle Refrigerants

Refrigerant used in centrifugal water chillers

should be recovered and/or recycled for

reuse, reprocessed (reclaimed), or properly

disposed of, whenever it is removed from the

equipment . Never release to atmosphere!

Always determine recycle or reclaim

requirements of the refrigerant before

beginning recovery procedure. Obtain a

chemical analysis of the refrigerant if

necessary. (Questions about recovered

refrigerant and acceptable refrigerant quality

standards are addressed in ARI Standard

700).

Refrigerant Handling and Safety

Consult manufacturer’s Material Safety Data

Sheets (MSDS) on refrigerants being handled

to understand health, safety, storage,

handling and disposal requirements. Use

approved containment vessels and refer to

appropriate safety standards. Comply with all

applicable transportation standards when

shipping refrigerant containers.

Service Equipment and Procedures

To minimize refrigerant emissions while

recovering the refrigerant , use recycling

equipment such as a Company recycle/

recovery system or equivalent. Use

equipment and methods which will pull the

lowest possible system vacuum while

recovering and condensing refrigerant.

Equipment capable of pulling a vacuum of

less than 1,000 microns (1.0 mm) of mercury

is recommended. Do not open the unit to

atmosphere for service work until the

refrigerant charge is fully removed/recovered.

When leak-testing with trace refrigerant and

nitrogen, use HCFC-22 (R-22) rather than CFC-

12 (R-12) or any other fully-halogenated

refrigerant . Be aware of any new leak test

methods which may eliminate refrigerants as

a trace gas. Evacuation prior to charging

should be done with a vacuum pump capable

of pulling a vacuum of 1,000 microns (1.0

mm) of mercury or less. The unit should

stand for 12 hours and the vacuum should

not rise above 2,500 microns (2.6 mm) of

mercury. A rise above 2,500 microns (2.5 mm)

of mercury indicates a leak test is required to

locate and repair any leaks. A leak test will be

required on any repaired area. Charge

refrigerant into the machine only when it is

determined that the machine does not leak or

contain moisture. Charge refrigerant into the

machine by weight. A proper charge is

required for efficient machine operation.

When charging is complete, purge or drain

charging lines into an approved refrigerant

container. Seal all used refrigerant containers

with approved closure devices to prevent

unused refrigerant from escaping to the

atmosphere. Take extra care to properly

maintain all service equipment directly

supporting refrigerant service work such as

gauges, hoses, vacuum pumps, and recycling

equipment . When cleaning system

components or parts, avoid using CFC-11 (R-

11) or CFC-113 (R-113). Use only

cleaning-solvents that do not have ozone

depletion factors. Properly dispose of used

materials. Refrigeration system cleanup

methods using filters and driers are preferred.

Maintain the purge unit on centrifugal water

chillers in proper working condition. An

improperly maintained purge unit can cause

significant refrigerant emissions to the

atmosphere. Consider replacing older

operational purge units with the new

Company Purifier Purge unit. Excessive purge

operation is an indication of possible

refrigerant leakage. Check for leaks when

excessive purge operation is observed.

Future Developments

Keep abreast of unit enhancements,

conversion refrigerants, compatible parts,

and manufacturer’s recommendations which

will reduce refrigerant emissions and increase

equipment operating efficiencies. Follow

specific manufacturer’s guidelines for

conversion of existing equipment . Use only

Company approved gaskets, O-rings, oil

filters, and other components on centrifugal

water chillers or CenTraVacs. In order to assist

in reducing power generation requirements,

always attempt to improve chiller equipment

performance with improved maintenance

operations which will help conserve energy

resources. Items to be considered include

tube cleanliness, proper water flows, correct

refrigerant charge, cooling tower

maintenance, and proper operation of

controls and features such as free cooling,

chilled water reset functions, and time of day

scheduling.

General

Information

Model Number

All standard products are identified

by multiple-character model

numbers that precisely identifies a

particular type of unit. An

explanation of the alphanumeric

identification code used with

Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners

is provided below.

Use of the service model number

will enable the owner/operator,

installing contractors, and service

technicians to define the operation,

components and options of a

particular PTEC or PTHC unit.

Important! Be sure to refer to the

model number stamped on the unit

nameplate when ordering

replacement parts or requesting

service.

All product model and serial

nameplates carry an additional

number called the manufacturing

number. It is possible to have one or

more like products with the same

model number, but that a portion of

the parts would not be

interchangeable.

The manufacturing number has

been added to the product to assist

the service department in identifying

any given product. It is extremely

important when looking up service

repair parts in the parts list, or when

requesting service information, that

the manufacturing, model and serial

numbers be used to properly identify

the product.

Unit Features

This unit has many features which

are different than those found on

conventional PTAC units. The

servicer must be familiar with these

features in order to properly service

the unit.

• Automatic 3-minute compressor

lockout - After the compressor

cycles off, it will not restart for three

minutes.

• Automatic 2nd stage electric heat -

If the room temperature falls to

4.0°F below the set point

temperature, the reverse cycle heat

is shut off and the electric heat is

turned on.

• Automatic freeze protection -

Whenever power is supplied to the

unit, automatic freeze protection is

active. If the unit senses room

temperature below 40°F, the fan

motor and electric heat are turned

on.

• Random restart delay -To help

eliminate power surges after a

power outage, the unit is equipped

with a two to four minute random

restart delay feature. Whenever the

unit is plugged in with the master

switch turned on and the mode

switch set in the cool or heat mode,

a random restart will occur. A

random restart condition can be

avoided by setting the mode

switch in the fan only or off

position before applying power to

the unit.

• Fuse Holder - On all 265 volt units,

fuse holders are factory installed.

Check for blown fuse if unit does

not operate. The fuse holder is

located behind the front cabinet

under the control board.

Replacement fuses may be

purchased from your local TPC.

• Front Mounting Holes -Two

mounting holes are provided to

give the owner the option of

securing the front to the chassis.

The mounting holes are located

behind the intake grille. The owner

must supply two 1/2 inch long #8

sheet metal screws per unit . The

two screws must be removed

before the front can be removed.

WARNING!

Hazardous Voltage!

Disconnect all electric power,

including remote disconnects before

servicing. Follow proper lockout/

tagout procedures to ensure the

power can not be inadvertently

energized. Failure to disconnect

power before servicing could result

in death or serious injury.

Master Switch

The master switch disconnects

power to all of the system

components. When this switch is in

the off position, the compressor, fan

motor, reversing valve, and electric

resistance heater will all be de-

energized.

Remote/ Standard Switch

The remote/standard switch is used

to change the control of the unit

from the standard on board controls

in the standard mode, to a remote

wall mounted thermostat in the

remote mode. For remote

thermostat operation refer to

Remote Operation section.

Fan Cycle Switch

The fan cycle switch sets the

operational mode of the fan. In the

ON position, the fan will run

continuously whenever the unit is in

the heat or cool mode. In the AUTO

position, the fan will cycle on and off

with the compressor or electric

heater when the unit is in the cool or

heat mode.

Remote Control Inputs

The C, R, GH, GL, W2, Y/W1 and B

terminals provide control inputs for a

remote wall mounted thermostat.

For remote control operation refer to

Remote Thermostat Operation

section.

Front Desk Control

The FD1 and FD2 terminals provide

control inputs for a front desk switch.

Shorting across these two terminals

will disable unit operation. The only

control function which will remain

active when these terminals are

shorted is freeze protection. Any

switch which will produce a short

circuit across these two terminals

can be used as a front desk switch.

The contact resistance of the switch,

when closed, must be less than 200

ohms for the front desk feature to

operate properly.

The following table shows the

maximum wire length and

corresponding gauge size for

installation of a front desk switch.

VENT CONTROL (Units Without

Power Vent or Power Door Kits

Installed)

The vent control allows fresh air to

be drawn into the conditioned area.

This fresh air can provide ventilation

when the blower is operating, but it

will increase the heating or cooling

load and operating costs.

To obtain access to the vent control,

remove the cabinet front (see

Disassembly Procedures) and locate

the vent control lever on the left side

of the chassis.

Rotate the vent control lever to either

open or close the damper.

Hydronic Heat Installations

To avoid the risk of freezing the

steam or water coil during

prolonged shutdown periods, the

vent door must be left closed when

the outdoor temperature might fall

below freezing or a power door kit

must be installed.

Air Discharge Grille

The discharge grille can be adjusted

to expel air at either a 15° or 40°

angle.

This unit is designed to be operated

with a limited variety of remote wall

mounted Thermostats. For further

information on thermostats

approved for use with this unit,

contact your sales representative.

For best performance results, the

thermostat should be located

approximately five feet above the

floor on a vibration free, inside wall

in an area with good air circulation.

Do not

install the thermostat where

it may be affected by the following:

• Dead spots behind doors, in

corners or under cabinets

• Hot or cold drafts from air ducts

• Radiant heat from the sun,

appliances, or fireplaces

• Concealed pipes and chimneys.

Unheated (uncooled) areas behind

the thermostat , such as outside

walls

Wiring Schematic for

Remote Heat Pump

Wiring Schematic for

Straight Cool Unit

HEAT/ OFF/ COOL Switch

• OFF - cooling and heating functions

are defeated.

• HEAT - the selected room

temperature is maintained by

cycling either in the heat pump

mode or electric strip heat. A PTHC

unit is switched from the heat

pump mode to electric heat when

the outdoor coil temperature is

below 25°F (approximately), or

when the heat pump cannot keep

up with the heating load and a two

stage thermostat is used.

• COOL - the selected room

temperature is maintained by

cycling the air conditioner.

Fan Switch

• AUTO - the fan cycles with the

compressor or electric strip heat.

• ON - the fan runs continuously

regardless of any other settings.

The table below summarizes the

thermostat input combinations and

the respective unit functions.

The following figures show wiring

schematics for heat pump and

straight cool units with electric

resistance heat, respectively. Remote

hydronic heat installations should be

wired similar as for a straight cooling

unit.

Note: A heat pump thermostat (no

W1 terminal) can be used for a

straight cooling units. Connect

thermostat to unit according to the

schematic for remote heat pumps.

1. For heat pump operation, a room

thermostat with a “B” (heating

changeover) terminal is required.

This will mean that some “auto

changeover” thermostats cannot

be used, as many of them either

do not have a “B” terminal, or

else energize the “B” terminal

continuously when in the “ auto”

position.

2. The maximum power

consumption of any thermostat is

1.2 watts.
