The OE370-26-RSMD Refrigerant System Module for Digital
Compressors (RSMD) (AAON Part No: V61520) can monitor and
control up to two compressors and condensers. The compressors can
be in either a tandem or non-tandem confi guration. The module is
designed for R410-A refrigerant.
The RSMD is connected to the VCC-X / VCCX2 Controller.
Up to 4 RSMD’s can be connected, depending on the size of the
system. There are 2 E-BUS Expansion Ports which allow the use of
communicating sensors and the E-BUS Modules.
The RSMD provides 3 analog inputs, 4 binary inputs, 5 relays, and
2 analog outputs. See Figures 2 & 3, pages 6 & 7 for wiring.
The RSMD Module provides the following:
• Modulates the Compressors to satisfy the Suction
Coil (Saturated) Temperature. The Suction Coil (Satu rated) Temperature Setpoint is reset by the VCC-X /
VCCX2 Controller to maintain the Supply Air
Temperature during Cooling mode. During Dehumidi fi cation mode, it controls the Compressors to the
Suction (Saturation) Temperature Setpoint.
• In Heating mode, the RSMD modulates and stages
the compressors to maintain a given Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint.
• Modulates the Condenser Fan or Valve to maintain
the Head Pressure Setpoint.
• Provides alarms and safeties for the Compressor and
Condenser operation.
• Allows connection of the Modular Service Tool SD
to the module when required communication wire is
run to the VCC-X / VCCX2 Controller.
• Provides a 2 x 8 LCD character display and 4 buttons
that allow for status of system operation, system
setpoints, system con gurations, sensors, and alarms,
and to change the module’s address, if necessary.

RSMD Inputs Wiring
RSMD Wiring
The RSMD monitors and controls one refrigeration circuit of the
HVAC unit. The module is designed for R410-A refrigerant.
The RSMD is connected to the VCC-X or VCCX2 Controller.
Up to 4 RSMD’s can be connected, depending on the size of the
system. There are 2 E-BUS Expansion Ports which allow the use of
communicating sensors and the E-BUS Modules.
The RSMD provides 3 analog inputs, 4 binary inputs, 5 relays, and
2 analog outputs. See Figure 2, below for inputs wiring and Figure 3, page 7 for outputs wiring.
Suction Pressure Sensor Wiring
The OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducers must be wired as
shown in Figure 2, below. It is typically required for all VCC-X /
VCCX2 applications.
The Suction Pressure Sensors are used to measure suction pressure
at the HVAC unit’s DX evaporator coil suction line. This suction
line pressure is converted to saturated refrigerant temperature.
The saturated refrigerant temperature is used to properly control
the compressors to maintain a given Suction Coil (Saturated)
Temperature Setpoint. In Cooling mode, the VCC-X / VCCX2 resets
the Suction Coil (Saturated) Temperature Setpoint to maintain a
given supply air temperature setpoint. In Dehumidifi cation mode, the
Suction Coil (Saturated) Temperature Setpoint is a user confi gurable
setpoint that can be reset based on indoor humidity levels.

against overheating.
TEMP3 - Leaving Water Temperature Sensor Input
This input monitors the Condenser Leaving Water Temperature and
determines if the water source condenser is operating in a safe water
temperature range.
BIN1 - Compressor Status 1
When this wet contact input closes, a 24 volt signal to Binary Input
#1 indicates that Compressor 1 is running. Typically, the source for
this is relay output 1. If Binary Input 1 opens, Compressor 1 Enable
Relay will de-energize and a Compressor Alarm will be generated.
BIN2 - Compressor Status 2
When this wet contact input closes, a 24 volt signal to Binary Input
#2 indicates that Compressor 2 is running. Typically, the source for
this is relay output 2. If Binary Input 2 opens, Compressor 2 Enable
Relay will de-energize and a Compressor Alarm will be generated
BIN3 - Outside Coil Temperature / Proof of Water
Flow Status
This input can be used for the following two options:
Air to Air Heat Pump
This wet contact input monitors a Defrost Coil Temperature Switch
on air to air heat pump units. If the compressors are operating in the
Heating Mode and this switch closes, it will initiate a Defrost Mode.
Water Source Heat Pump
This wet contact input is for the Water Proof of Flow Switch. If
the Water Proof of Flow Switch contact opens while the Condenser
Valve is operating, the controller will react to protect the system
depending on the current mode of operation.
BIN4 - Emergency Shutdown
This wet contact input is used to initiate shutdown of the HVAC unit
when a N.C. Smoke Detector (by others), Firestat (by others), or other
shutdown condition (by others) contact is opened. The controller
remains active and can initiate alarm relays.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
Cooling Mode & Dehumidifi cation Operation
Zone
Cooling Mode Operation
In the Cooling Mode, as the Supply Air Temperature (SAT) rises
above the Active SAT Cooling Setpoint, the compressors will stage
on and modulate to maintain the Active Evaporator Coil Suction
(Saturated) Temperature Setpoint. Two compressors are controlled
per Refrigerant System Module (RSMD). Multiple RSMDs are
needed when there are more than two compressors
In units with one digital and one fi xed compressors, if the digital
compressor modulates to 100% and the SAT is still above the SAT
Cooling Setpoint for the Cooling Stage Up Delay, then the fi xed
compressor will stage on. The digital compressor will then be
allowed to modulate as necessary to maintain the Active Evaporator
Coil Suction (Saturated) Temperature Setpoint. Minimum off times
must also be met before compressors can stage on.
In units with multiple digital compressors, if the 1st digital
compressor modulates to 100% and the SAT is still above the SAT
Cooling Setpoint for the Cooling Stage Up Delay, then the 2nd digital
compressors will enable and the two digital Compressors will then
modulate together to maintain the Active Evaporator Coil Suction
(Saturated) Temperature Setpoint.
To stage down compressors, if the digital compressor(s) have
modulated down to 30% for the Stage Down Delay period and the
SAT has fallen below the SAT Cooling Setpoint minus the Stage
Control Window, then the last compressor to have staged on (digital
or Fixed) will stage off – assuming its Minimum Run Time has
been met. Any remaining digital compressors are then allowed to
modulate as needed. If the last remaining digital compressor reaches
0% for the Stage Down Delay, it will stage off .
Dehumidifi cation Operation
The RSMD activates the Cooling Stages based on the actual
Evaporator Coil Temperature compared to the Evaporator Coil
Suction (Saturation) Temperature Setpoint. The Evaporator Coil
Suction (Saturation) Temperature is calculated by using the Suction
Pressure Sensor and converting the pressure to temperature.
For Copeland Digital Scroll™ Compressor units, the RSMD will
modulate the Copeland Digital Scroll™ Compressor to maintain
the Evaporator Coil Suction (Saturation) Temperature Setpoint and
activate the Compressors as necessary.
On units that have one Digital and one Fixed Capacity Compressor,
if the Fixed Capacity Compressor is activated, the Copeland Digital
Scroll™ Compressor will only be allowed to modulate within the
range of 70% - 100% in order to prevent the loss of reheat capacity
during low load conditions. If, with both compressors on, the 1st
digital compressor has modulated down to its 70% minimum and
the Coil Suction Temperature falls below the Coil Temperature
Setpoint minus the Cooling Stage Control Window, then the second
compressor will stage off once its Compressor Minimum Run Time
and the Stage Down Delay Timers have been met. At that point, the
Copeland Digital Scroll™ Compressor can modulate down as needed
to maintain the Coil Temperature Setpoint.
If the RSMD has two Digital Compressors, the 1st Compressor will
be locked at 100% and the 2nd Compressor will modulate.

RSMD Technical Guide
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
Head Pressure Control
The Refrigeration System Module for Digital Compressors (RSMD)
can monitor a Head Pressure Transducer and control a Condenser
Fan to maintain a Head Pressure Setpoint. The RSMD must be
confi gured for an Air Cooled Condenser.
A Condenser Relay is commanded on when the fi rst compressor is
enabled (except if the unit is in Heat Pump Defrost Mode). On an
Air Cooled Unit, the Condenser Fan will be controlled with 0-10
VDC output signal.
When the Condenser Signal fi rst activates, it maintains at 100% for
10 seconds.
In the Cooling Mode, the Condenser Signal will modulate to maintain
the Cooling Head Pressure Setpoint. The signal can modulate
between 15% and 100%. If the Head Pressure exceeds 550 PSIG,
the condenser control signal will immediately go to 100% and a
High Head Pressure Alarm will be generated. The alarm will be
deactivated when the Head Pressure drops below 540 PSIG.
Head Pressure Control
In the Dehumidifi cation Mode, the Condenser Output Signal controls
to the Reheat Head Pressure Setpoint. High Head Pressure conditions
produce the same eff ects as in the Cooling Mode.
If no Head Pressure Sensor is detected, the Condenser Output Signal
will be maintained at 100%.

Using RSM LEDs To Verify Operation
The RSMs are equipped with LEDs that can be used to verify
operation and perform troubleshooting. There are LEDs for
communication, operation modes, and diagnostic codes. See Figure 5, below for the LED locations. The LEDs associated with these
inputs and outputs allow you to see what is active without using a
voltmeter. The LEDs and their uses are as follows:
Diagnostic LEDs
STATUS - If the software is running, this LED should blink at a rate
of 1 blink per second.
ALARM (on board) - If the module does not receive communications
for more than 1 minute, this LED will light up, the relays will turn
off , and the Analog Outputs will go to 0 VDC.
ALARM (above LCD display) - This red LED will light up and stay
lit when there is an alarm present. The type of alarm will display on
the LCD display. The ALARM LED also blinks when the expansion
valve is initializing at startup.
COMM - Every time the module receives a valid E-BUS request
from the VCC-X / VCCX2 Controller, this LED will blink on and
then off , signifying that it received a valid request and responded.
POWER - This LED will light up to indicate that 24 VAC power has
been applied to the controller.
Binary Input LEDs
BIN1 - This green LED will light up when Compressor Status 1
contact is closed.
BIN2 - This green LED will light up when Compressor Status 2
switch is closed.
BIN3 - This green LED will light up when the Outside Coil
Temperature switch is closed.
BIN4 - This green LED will light up when the Emergency Shutdown
switch is closed.
Relay LEDs
RLY1 - RLY5 - These green LEDs will light up when the relays are
enabled and will stay lit as long as they are active.
Digital Compressor LEDs
COMP1 - This green LED will light up when Digital Compressor
1 is unloading.
COMP2 - This green LED will light up when Digital Compressor
2 is unloading.

OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer Testing
OE275-01 Suction Pressure
Transducer Testing for R410A
Refrigerant
The Evaporator Coil Temperature is calculated by converting the
Suction Pressure to Temperature. The Suction Pressure is obtained by
using the OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer, which is connected
into the Suction Line of the Compressor.
Use the voltage column to check the Suction Pressure Transducer while
connected to the RSMD Module(s). The VCC-X/VCCX2 and the
RSMD Module(s) must be powered for this test. Read voltage with
a meter set on DC volts. Place the positive lead from the meter on
the SP1/SP2 terminal located on the RSMD Module(s) terminal
block. Place the negative lead from the meter on the ground (GND)
terminal located adjacent to the SP1/SP2 terminal on the RSMD
Module(s) terminal block. Use a refrigerant gauge set and/or an
accurate electronic thermometer to measure the temperature or
suction line pressure near where the Suction Pressure Transducer
is connected to the suction line. Measure the Voltage at the SP1/
SP2 and GND terminals and compare it to the appropriate chart
depending on the refrigerant you are using. If the temperature/
voltage or pressure/voltage readings do not align closely with the
chart, your Suction Pressure Transducer is probably defective and
will need to be replaced.
See the OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer, Pressure,
Temperature, and Voltage Chart for R410A Refrigerant testing.
The charts show a temperature range from 20°F to 80°F. For
troubleshooting purposes, the DC Voltage readings are also listed
with their corresponding temperatures and pressures.
