    Replacing Trane Adaptive Interface



    I have a new Adaptive Interface Controller that I want to install on an RTAA 080A YT01 air cooled chiller.
    I've read somewhere that all parameters and settings are stored in another module, and changing the interface will be simply plug and play with no actual programming required.
    Can someone whose done this before let me know of any special precautions I need to take?
    I'm planning on auto stopping the system, shutting off power, replacing the adaptive interface and
    turning the powr back on.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Best bet is to ask Trane

    Hi RackMechanic
    I misread your post at first( Think?) If you are talking about a like for like swop, then power off and reboot after fitting the replacement. Cannot do any harm surely?
    If you have purchased or obtained a direct replacement then surely Trane would advise?
    (As chillerman suggests!)
    If you are trying to modify said system, good luck!
    I hope the chiller is sacrificial!

    Think I misread the post too Grizzly
    Was thinking upgrading not just replacing like for like

    No not modify, like for like. Just hope parameters exist in another module. Time restraints don't allow for full reprogram.

    Re: Replacing Trane Adaptive Interface

    Without the Trane books, you probably can't do a full reprogram anyway, as the manuals provide the settings for all the parameters.
    Is the module a UCM-CLD, or the predecessor?

    Thanks Freezergeezer. It's a UCM-CLD. I did swap yesterday. Easy. No re-programming needed. All info stored in seperate module. Thanks for the help!
