II Sequence of Operation
(e.g. TRE036-072 units)
• 1st Stage Heating: A simultaneous call from (G) and
(Y1) to the (G) and (Y1) terminals of the DXM2 control
board will bring the unit on in 1st Stage Heating.
• 2nd Stage Heating: A simultaneous call from (G),
(Y1), and (Y2) to the (G), (Y1), and (Y2) terminals of
the DXM2 control board will bring the unit on in
2nd Stage Heating. When the call is satisfied at the
thermostat the unit will continue to run in 1st Stage
Heating until the call is removed or satisfied, shutting
down the unit.
NOTE: Not all units have two-stage
heating functionality (e.g. TRE036-072 units).
• Reheat Mode: A call from the Humidistat/
Dehumidistat to the (H) terminal of the DXM2 control
board will bring the unit on in Reheat Mode if there
is no call for cooling at the thermostat. When the
Humidistat/Dehumidification call is removed or
satisfied the unit will shut down.
NOTE: Cooling
always overrides Reheat Mode. In the Cooling
mode, the unit cools and dehumidifies. If the
cooling thermostat is satisfied but there is still a
call for dehumidification, the unit will continue to
operate in Reheat Mode.
NOTE: Care must be taken when using a humidistat
to operate ClimaDry
®
. When the DIP switch on the
DXM2 controller is set for ‘humidistat’ it reverses
the control logic so that an “open” control circuit
initiates a ClimaDry
®
run cycle. If a humidistat is not
connected, or if a manual switch on the humidistat is
set to “off”, ClimaDry
®
will see the open circuit and
call for dehumidification.

II Component Functions
The ClimaDry
®
II option consists of the following
components:
• Motorized Valve/Proportional Controller
• Supply Air Sensor
• Loop Pump
• Hydronic Coil
• Low Pressure Switch
The Proportional Controller operates on 24 VAC power
supply and automatically adjusts the water valve based
upon the Supply Air Sensor. The Supply Air Sensor
senses supply air temperature at the blower inlet
providing the input signal necessary for the proportional
control to drive the motorized valve during the reheat
mode of operation.
The Motorized Valve is a proportional actuator/three-
way valve combination used to divert the condenser
water from the coax to the hydronic reheat coil during
the reheat mode of operation. The proportional
controller signals the motorized valve based on the
supply air temperature of the supply air sensor.
The Loop Pump circulates condenser water through
the hydronic reheat coil during the reheat mode of
operation. In this application, the loop pump is only
energized during the reheat mode of operation. The
Hydronic Coil is utilized during the reheat mode of
operation to reheat the air to the setpoint of the
proportional controller. Condenser water is diverted by
the motorized valve and pumped through the hydronic
coil by the loop pump in proportion to the control
setpoint. The amount of reheating is dependent on
the setpoint and how far from setpoint the supply air
temperature is. The factory setpoint is 72°F [22°C],
generally considered “neutral” air.

II Application Considerations
The reheat coil adds a small amount of resistance to the
air stream. In some cases the high static option may be
required for applications with higher static ductwork.
Consult the submittal data or the Installation/Operation/
Maintenance (I.O.M.) manual for the specific heat pump
to review blower tables.
Unlike most hot gas reheat options, the ClimaDry
®
II
option will operate over a wide range of EWTs. Special
flow regulation (water regulating valve) is not required
for low EWT conditions.
TRE units with the ClimaDry
®
II option shall have an
antifreeze solution to protect the coil in low ambient
conditions. ASHRAE minimums for the region shall
be considered during the calculation of the antifreeze
solution.
In applications where antifreeze is not specified, a
secondary heat exchanger can be used to isolate the
TRE from the water loop, thus requiring less antifreeze
to be used with the TRE Secondary brazed plate
heat exchanger. Figure 1 on page 35 shows the heat
exchanger connections.
Water-source heat pumps with ClimaDry
®
II should
not be used as make-up air units. These applications
should use equipment specifically designed for
make-up air.
