Features and Benefits

Serviceability

PreviousTrane chiller controllers included a user interface that presented all chiller data necessary for both daily tasks and service or maintenance tasks. The amount of information presented on a limited display made a number of tasks difficult. A service technician’s ability to assess and resolve chiller problems was hampered by the limited presentation of multiple pieces of chiller information.

TheTracer chiller controller adds a level of sophistication better served by a PC application that improves service technician effectiveness and minimizes chiller downtime. The Tracer chiller controller provides a user interface and main processor, DynaView, that is intended to serve only typical daily tasks. The portable, PC-based service tool software, TechView, supports service and maintenance tasks.

TheTracer chiller controller will be gradually applied to allTrane chillers. TechView will then serve as a common interface to allTrane chillers, and will customize itself based on the properties of the chiller with which it is communicating. Thus, the service technician learns only one service interface.

The panel bus is easy to troubleshoot, using LED verification of sensors. Only the defective device is replaced.

Captive screws ensure that the appropriate mounting hardware is available. TechView can communicate with individual devices or groups of devices.

TechView

All chiller status, machine configuration settings, customizable limits, and up to 60 active or historic diagnostics are displayed through the service-tool software interface. Any PC that meets the system requirements may download the service interface software and DynaView updates from Trane’s Web site at www.trane.com.

TechView is designed to run on a customer’s laptop, which connects to DynaView with a serial cable. DynaView’s serial port is located behind a sliding door on the bottom of the DynaView enclosure. It uses a standard 9-pin male and 9-pin female RS-232 cable.

Hardware requirements for TechView:

Pentium II, III, or higher processor

128 MB RAM

1024 x 768 resolution
