2Geothermal Heating and Cooling

Troubleshooting ClimateMaster Tranquility®Digital Packaged Heat Pumps is quite straightforward.

Most problems relate to water ow. Either there isn’t enough water ow or the entering water temperature is improperly

supplied. Most service problems can be addressed without refrigerant gauges. In fact, installing gauges on packaged heat

pumps can do more harm than good because packaged heat pumps contain less refrigerant compared to split systems.

The rst thing to do is always perform a water side check (Heat of Extraction for Heating or Heat of Rejection for Cooling) to

determine if the unit is operating properly.

Set up and diagnostics are made easier using the communicating thermostat (ATC32) or the communicating service tool

(ACDU02). You must have ATC32 or ACDU02 to properly work on ClimateMaster Tranquility® Digital units that use the DXM2

control board.

Follow the ow chart on the following pages to help diagnose and solve your issue.

Tranquility®

Digital (DXM2)—Troubleshooting Guide

Rev.: 10 March, 2015

10 Geothermal Heating and Cooling

Notes: Specific to Splits

1. When using TES/TEP with communicating Air Handlers

(and not using ATC32U02 Thermostat using a 24 volt

stat) you must mount stat at Air Handler or unit. For

proper communicating between TES/

TEP, an Air Handler, ATC32U02 should be

placed in the OFF position when not using

it as a service tool.

2. When conguring TES or TEP after a board change

be sure of correct blower type. Select NONE on tool or

thermostat because there is no blower directly connected

to the DXM2.

3. TAH Air Handlers can be changed to operate blower on

115 volts instead of 230 volts. Be sure NOT

to connect the supplied jumper to other

opp. molex plug unless you truly want 115

volts.

4. When installing LT2 Sensor on cased coil or other manu-

facturer Air Handler, be sure it is installed between TXV

and distributor tubes. If you can not install

the sensor in that location then do not in-

stall the sensor any where else on the coil

and leave jumper on DXM2 board.

5. Ensure that TXV bulb is strapped outside of

the Air Handler or Cased Coil on the suction

line and that the TXV bulb is insulated.

6. All TES/TEP units come factory charged for an additional

25 feet of lineset. Be sure to add or subtract from this

based on your lineset length. Final verica-

tion is looking at superheat and subcooling

numbers against operating parameters in

IOM.

7. On AXM in TAH Air Handler, the only dipswitch used is

#2, which can be used for dehumidication. On the AXM,

“ON” is Normal and “OFF” is Dehumidication.

8. When brazing a lineset, use Nitrogen ow to prevent

oxidation and carbon build up, because these things can

restrict the TXVs. Also, protect service valves with a wet

rag or heat block to prevent overheating and causing

damage. Always install a biow lter drier in lineset.

9. For reference connecting low voltage wiring

when using other Air Handlers or gas

furnace in duel fuel applications, see B-S.
