General

The purpose of this installation manual is to provide application, functional and calibration information for the Trane Retrofit package. Examples and charts are provided to enhance the understanding of this information.

Introduction

The DDC/VAV retrofit kit consists of the UCM control assembly, a Honeywell™ or Belimo™ actuator (both optional), and various accessories such as zone sensors, transformers, flow sensors, etc. This manual is intended to show how to apply, install and configure the DDC/VAV Retrofit kit. It is intended to provide information specific to the VAV retrofit. Refer to VAV-SVX01C-EN for complete DDC/VAV system wiring, installation and programming instructions.

Applications

The retrofit kit may be applied to pneumatic terminals by replacing the pneumatic actuator with an electric actuator or electrically controlled terminals by either using the existing electric actuator or by replacing it with one provided by Trane.

The kit may be used on existing shutoff, shutoff hot water reheat, shutoff with up to three stages of electric heat, and fan powered (both parallel and series) cooling only, hot water, and electric reheat units.

Note: Fan powered units have only two stages of reheat available.

Dual duct units may also be retrofitted using two sets of controllers. The kit has also been applied to constant volume reheat systems where the retrofit kit is used to control duct coils.

The kit has been tested on VAV terminals of several major manufacturers. It is mandatory for unit to have an external shaft to function properly with the direct coupled actuators offered.
