2Geothermal Heat Pump Systems

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

Most problems relate to water ﬂow. Either there isn’t enough water ﬂow 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 ﬁrst 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

(ACDU01). You must have ATC32 or ACDU01 to properly work on ClimateMaster Tranquility® Digital units that use the DXM2

control board.

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

Verify how the units are

conﬁgured in the thermostat

(refer to ‘Section 3.3 - Unit

Conﬁguration’ on page 53).

Be sure unit is conﬁgured for

‘Variable Speed Pump Single’

if unit is on it’s own loop. If unit

shares a loop with other units,

then ensure that the unit is

conﬁgured for ‘Variable Speed

Pump Parallel.’
