Installation
AFDH-SVN03H-EN 39
Required Reprogramming of
CH531 Controls
Important:
• For a chiller retrofitted with an AFDH drive to operate
correctly and efficiently, it is critical that the actual
specific nameplate data values for the chiller be
entered in the CH531 menu parameters listed in the
table below (i.e. motor data and compressor impeller
data). If the unit nameplate is missing, unreadable, or
of a vintage that did not include all of the required data
categories, contact Trane Global Parts Technical
Services. To contact them, send a message to
ATechnicalService@trane.com. Provide the chiller
serial number and request a copy of the shipped-with
bill of materials for this unit.
• Make sure your laptop is loaded with the most current
version of TechView™ or KestrelView™ software so
that you have the most up-to-date version of CVR MP
firmware available to install into the DynaView™.
