Residential Products Technical Guide
iGate® ClimaZone™
This optional addition to the Trilogy® 45 Q-Mode® is a zoning
system (AZC06CAR) that allows a single unit to be controlled by
multiple iGate® Connect thermostats, conditioning the home in
smaller zones instead of a single large zone. The Trilogy® system
accommodates six zones with a single zone panel or up to twelve
zones with the addition of a second panel. With zoning a home
is more comfortable and the HVAC system more effi cient by
directing conditioned air only when and where it is needed giving
the homeowner complete control over their cooling and heating.
System confi guration and diagnostics are available via the Trilogy®
PC service tool.
PC / Laptop Service Tool
To help crunch all the operating and fault data coming out of the
Trilogy
®
unit, ClimateMaster offers a PC/laptop tool to confi gure
and diagnose the system. PC/laptop loaded with the software plugs
in to the EXM board using an optional cable to help download and
analyze the data.

Web-Enabled Confi guration and Diagnostics
Trilogy
®
Q-Mode
®
has industry-exclusive two-way communicating
controls, which allow for communication between smart
components/sensors, the board, and the web-enabled
thermostat. For installing and servicing contractors, this means
unprecedented ease of setup and troubleshooting
through the thermostat and
through the dealer portal
on the internet
. The unit uses
this technology to monitor every
aspect of system operation to ensure peak performance. This unit is
so advanced, it requires
minimal confi guration at start up and it easily tells the homeowner/
contractor if something is wrong.
Digital Communicating Control Features:
• Communicating interface to compressor, web-enabled
thermostat, fan motor and geo source pump
• Comprehensive setup and diagnostics via system thermostat,
PC service tool, and the internet
• High pressure, loss of charge, freeze and condensate overfl ow
protection
• Intelligent fault retry with history retention
• Service tool port for optional setup and diagnostics at unit
• Auxiliary relay outputs for accessory connections
Thermostat interface:
Confi gure / setup:
• Minimum setup required as the unit self-adjusts air and
water fl ow to demand
• Accessory confi guration
• User-confi gurable utility demand reduction
Monitor (displayed on thermostat):
• Blower CFM, air temperature and RPM
• Water entering/leaving temperature, loop pressure and
fl ow (GPM), geo source pump speed
What's New with ClimateMaster's Trilogy
®
Q-Mode
®
?
• Refrigerant pressure/temperature (at compressor suction/
discharge, at Air coil, at water coil)
• Calculation and display of SuperHeat, SubCool
Diagnose (on thermostat):
• Fault description, possible causes
• System status at time of fault (all temperature, pressure, fl ows)
• Diagnostic display of system inputs, outputs, and
confi guration settings at thermostat
• Immediate manual control of EXM outputs at
thermostat for rapid
troubleshooting
Internal Variable Water-
Flow Control
The Trilogy
®
Q-Mode
®
offers integrated variable speed source
control for ground loop geothermal applications, which includes:
three-way fl ush valves and ports, expansion tank, high effi ciency
variable-speed pump, transducers and a communicating system to
display this information. The system provides optimal geothermal
source fl ow to maximize overall system effi ciency and performance
for each operating mode.
Installers can now directly connect the source loop to the unit, which
decreases the labor involved with installing a bulky external pumping
module. The variable speed pump, part of the “Trilogy” system,
also provides homeowners signifi cant operating cost savings by
consuming fewer watts than fi xed speed external pumping modules.
As vFlow matches fl ow to the unit operation and the Trilogy
®
unit
operates at lower speeds most of the time, the savings from vFlow
on the Trilogy
®
are even greater than Tranquility
®
two-stage units
with vFlow.
Other new features include, fl ow & temperature and pressure
& temperature transducers for
monitoring the source water. These
allow more accurate loop water
measurements and allow for easier
troubleshooting of source loop
issues.
Dealer-Friendly Cabinet
and Swing-out Control
The cabinet for Trilogy
®
Q-Mode
®
has been designed with the
dealer in mind. A unique swing-out control box and thoughtful
internal layout allow nearly all servicing from the front access
panel. For items requiring access from other sides, just three more
panels give a dealer full access to any component in the unit. The
low voltage panel can even be quickly pulled off the hinges and
removed. Harness connections make controller replacement a
snap.
Of course, majority of the unit troubleshooting can be done at the
thermostat, web portal or using the PC/laptop service tool, keeping
the technician out of tight spaces. Since geothermal source functions
are integrated within the cabinet, there is no additional space
required for bulky external pumping modules.
