connecting to unit.
The chilled water connections to the evaporator are to be

Flow switches must stop or prevent compressor

for selection and installation procedures. General
guidelines for flow switch installation are outlined below.
• Mount the switch upright, with a minimum of 5 pipe
diameters of straight, horizontal run on each side.
• Do not install close to elbows, orifices or valves.
Note: The arrow on the switch must point in the direction
of the water flow. To prevent switch fluttering, remove all
air from the water system.
Note: The Tracer UC800 provides a 6-second time delay
on the flow switch input before shutting down the

GVWF units use the following control/interface
components:
• Tracer™ UC800 Controller
• Tracer TD7 Operator Interface
Communication Interfaces
There are four connections on the UC800 that support
the communication interface. See RTHF and RTWF User
Guide to locate the following ports: “Wiring and Ports

• BACnet MS/TP
• BACnet IP
• Modbus Slave
• LonTalk using LCI-C (from the IPC3 bus)

Tracer TD7 Operator Interface

Operator Interface
Information is tailored to operators, service technicians
and owners. When operating a chiller, there is specific
information you need on a day-to-day basis, like
setpoints, limits, diagnostic information, and reports.
Day-to-day operational information is presented at the
display. Logically organized groups of information-chiller
mode of operation, active diagnostics, settings and
reports put information conveniently at your fingertips.
Tracer™ TU
The TD7 operator interface allows for daily operation
tasks and setpoint changes. However to adequately
service GVWF chillers, Tracer™ TU service tool is
required (Non-Trane personnel, contact your local Trane
office for software purchase information). Tracer TU adds
a level of sophistication that improves service technician
effectiveness and minimizes chiller downtime. This
portable PC-based service-tool software supports service
and maintenance tasks.

elapsed to stabilize the chiller. The refrigerant flow
through the sight glasses should be clear. Bubbles in
the refrigerant indicate either low refrigerant charge
or excessive pressure drop in the liquid line, or an
expansion valve that is stuck open. A restriction in
the line can sometimes be identified by a noticeable
temperature differential between the two sides of
the restriction. Frost will often form on the line at
this point. Proper refrigerant charges are shown in
