WARNING
Important
Environmental Concerns!
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made
chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring
stratospheric ozone layer when released to the
atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified
chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants
that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and
those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon
(HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds
have the same potential impact to the environment. T rane
advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerantsincluding industry replacements for CFCs such as HCFCs
and HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices!
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are
important to the environment, our customers, and the air
conditioning industry. All technicians who handle
refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act
(Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling,
reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants
and the equipment that is used in these service procedures.
In addition, some states or municipalities may have
additional requirements that must also be adhered to for
responsible management of refrigerants. Know the
applicable laws and follow them.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified
personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field
wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To
avoid these hazards, y ou MUST follow requirements f or
field wiring installation and grounding as described in
NEC and your local/state electrical codes. Failure to
follow code could result in death or serious injury.
Overview of Manual
One copy of the appropriate service literature ships inside
the control panel of each unit. The procedures discussed in
this manual should only be performed by qualified,
experienced HVAC technicians.
Note: Do not release refrigerant to the atmosphere! If
adding or removing refrigerant is required, the
service technician must comply with all federal,
state, and local laws.
This booklet describes the proper installation, startup,
operation, and maintenance procedures for TC_, TE_, and
YC_22.9 to 50 Ton CV (Constant Volume), V AV (Variable Air
V o lu me), and SZ VAV (Single Zone Variable Air Volu me)
applications. Refer to the table of contents for a listing of
specific topics. Refer to “Diagnostics,” p. 117 for
troubleshooting information.
By carefully reviewing the information within this manual
and following the instructions, the risk of improper
operation and/or component dama ge will be minimized.
It is important that periodic maintenance be performed to
help assure trouble free operation. A maintenance
schedule is provided at the end of this manual. Should
equipment failure occur, contact a qualified service
organization with qualified, experienced HVAC technicians
to properly diagnose and repair this equipment.

Precautionary Measur es
WARNING
Fiberglass Wool!
Product contains fiberglass wool. Disturbing the
insulation in this product during installation,
maintenance or rep air will expose you to airborne
particles of glass wool fibers and ceramic fibers known
to the state of California to cause cancer through
inhalation. You MUST wear all necessary Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) including gloves, eye
protection, mask, long sleev es and pants when w orking
with products containing fiberglass wool. Exposition to
glass wool fibers without all necessary PPE equipment
could result in cancer, respiratory, skin or eye irritation,
which could result in death or serious injury.
- Avoid breathing fiberglass dust.
- Use a NIOSH approved dust/mist respirator.
- Avoid contact with the skin or eyes. Wear long-sleeved,
loose-fitting clothing, gloves, and eye protection.
- Wash clothes separately from other clothing: rinse
washer thoroughly.
- Operations such as sawing, blowi ng , tear-out, and
spraying may generate fiber concentrations requiring
additional respiratory protection. Use the appropriate
NIOSH approved respiration in these situations.
First Aid Measures
Eye Contact - Flush eyes with water to remove dust. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact - Wash af fected areas gently with soap and
warm water after handling.
An optional roof curb, specifically designed for the V oyager
commercial rooftop units is available from T rane. The roof
curb kit must be field assembled and installed according to
the latest edition of the curb installation guide.
Unit Inspection
As soon as the unit arrives at the job site:
•V erify that the nameplate data corresponds to the sales
order and bill of lading (including electrical data).
•Visually inspect the exterior of the unit, including the
roof, for physical signs of shipping damage.
•Check for material shor tages. Figure 11, p. 19 illustrates
where “ship with” items are placed inside the unit.
If the job site inspection reveals damage or material
shortages, file a claim with the carrier immediately . Specify
the type and extent of the damage on the “bill of lading”
before signing. Do not install a damaged unit without the
Appropriate Trane sales representative's approval!
•Visually check the internal components for shipping
damage as soon as possible after delivery and before it
is stored. Do not walk on the sheet metal base pans.
General Information
WARNING
No Step Surface!
Do not walk on the sheet metal drain pan. Walking on
the drain pan could cause the supporting metal to
collapse, resulting in the operator/technician to fall.
Failure to follow this recommendation could result in
death or serious injury.
Bridging between the unit's main supports may consist of
multiple 2 by 12 boards or sheet metal grating.
•If concealed damage is discovered, notify the carrier's
terminal office immediately by phone and by mail.
Concealed damage must be reported within 15 days.
•Request an immediate joint inspection of the damage
by the carrier and the consignee. Do not remove the
damaged material from the receiving location. Take
photos of the damage, if possible. The owner must
provide reasonable evidence that the damage did not
occur after delivery.
Storage
Take precautions to prevent condensate formation inside
the unit electrical components and motors when:
a. The unit is stored before it is installed; or,
b. The unit is set on the roof curb and temporary
auxiliary heat is provided in the building.
Isolate all side panel service entrances and base pan
openings (e.g., conduit holes, S/A and R/A openings, and
flue openings) to minimize ambient air from entering the
unit until it is ready for startup.
Do not use the unit heater as temporary heat without
completing the startup procedures detailed under
“Startup,” p. 40.
Trane will not assume responsibility for equipment
damage resulting from accumulation of condensate on the
unit electrical components.
RT-SVX34H-EN13
Unit Dimensions and Weights
Recommended Clearances
Adequate clearance around and above each Voyager
Commercial unit is required to ensure proper operation
and to allow sufficient access for servicing.
If the unit installation is higher than the typical curb
elevation, a field constructed catwalk around the unit is
recommended to provide safe, easy access for
maintenance and servicing. Table 1, p. 20 lists the
recommended clearances for single and multiple unit
installation. These clearances are necessary to assure
adequate serviceability, cataloged capacities, and peak
operating efficiency.
If the clearances available on the job site appear to be
inadequate, review them with your Trane sales
representative.
Roof Curb and Ductwork
The curbs for the 27.5 to 50 Ton commercial rooftop units
enclose the entire unit base area. They are referred to as
“full perimeter” type curbs.
Step-by-step instructions for the curb assembly and
installation with curb dimensions and curb configuration
for “A”, “B”, and “C” cabinets ship with each Trane
accessory roof curb kit. (See the latest edition of the curb
installation guide) Follow the instructions carefully to
assure proper fit when the unit is set into place.
The S/A and R/A ductwork adjoining the roof curb must be
fabricated and installed by the installing contractor b efore
the unit is set into place. Trane curbs include flanges
around the openings to accommodate duct attachment.
Ductwork installation recommendations are included in
the instruction booklet that ships with each Trane
accessory roof curb kit.
Note: For sound consideration, cut on ly the holes in the
roof deck for the supply and return duct
penetration. Do Not remove the roof decking from
the inside perimeter of the curb.
the unit into the ductwork. Refer to figures beginning on
page 14 for the S/A and R/A opening dimensions.
All outdoor ductwork between the unit and the structure
should be weather proofed after installation is completed.
If optional power exhaust is selected, an access door must
be field-installed on the horizontal return ductwork to
provide access to exhaust fan motors.
a. The ductwork can be attached directly to the S/A
and R/A openings. Be sure to use a flexible duct
connector at the unit.
b. For “built-up” curbs supplied by others, gask ets
must be installed around the curb perimeter flange,
Supply Air opening, and Return Air openings.
c. Insulation must be installed on the bottom of the
condenser section of the unit.
Horizontal Ductwork
When attaching the ductwork to a horizontal supply or
horizontal return unit, provide a water tight flexible
connector at the unit to prevent noise transmission from

Condensate Drain Connection
Each commercial rooftop unit is equipped with one (1) 11/4 inch Female PVC condensate drain connection.
Refer to Figure 11, p. 19 for the location of the connector. A
condensate trap must be installed due to the drain
connection being on the “negative pressure” side of the
fan. Install a P-Trap at the unit using the guidelines in
Figure 14, p. 23.
Pitch the drain line at least 1/2 inch for every 10 feet of
horizontal run to assure proper condensate flow.
Ensure that all condensate drain line installations comply
with applicable building and waste disposal codes.
Notes:
•For units with optional Condensate Overflow Switch
(COF), the switch will not work properly if unit is not
level or slightly sloped toward switch.
•To ensure proper condensate flow during operation
the unit and the curb must be level.
Figure 14. Condensate trap installation

An Outside Air Pressure Sensor is shipped with all units
designed to operate on traditional variable air volume
applications (non-SZ VAV) and units with Statitrac™.
A duct pressure transducer and the outside air sensor is
used to control the discharge duct static pressure to w ithin
a customer -specified controlband. Refer to the illustration
in Figure 16, p. 24 and the following steps to install the
sensor and the pneumatic tubing.
1 . Remove the O/A pressure sensor kit located inside the
fan section. The kit contains the following items;
• an O/A static pressure sensor
• a sensor mounting bracket
• 50’ of 3/16” O.D. pneumatic tubing
• mounting hardware
2. Using two #10-32 x 1-3/4” screws provided, install the
sensor's mounting bracket to the factory provided
bracket (near the fan section).
3. Using the #10-32 x 1/2” screws provided, install the O/
A static pressure sensor vertically to the sensor
bracket.
4. Remove the dust cap from the tubing connector
located below the sensor in the vertical support.
5. Attach one end of the 50' x 3/16” O.D. factory provided

To correctly size the main power wiring based on MCA
(Minimum Circuit Ampacity), use the appropriate
equation listed below. Read the definitions that follow and
then use Calculation #1 for determining MCA (Minimum
Circuit Ampacity), MOP (Maximum Over current
Protection), and RDE (Recommended Dual Element fuse
size) for TC (Cooling Only) units and Y C (Cooling with Gas
Heat) units. Use Calculation #2 for TE (Cooling with Electric
Heat) units.
Load Definitions:
•LOAD 1 = CURRENT OF THE LARGEST MOTOR
(Compressor or Fan Motor)
•LOAD 2 = SUM OF THE CURRENTS OF ALL
REMAINING MOTORS
•LOAD 3 = FLA (Full Load Amps) OF THE ELECTRIC

A. Single Source Power (all voltages)
T o calculate the correct MCA (Minimum Circuit Ampacity),
MOP (Maximum Over current Protection), and RDE
(Recommended Dual Element fuse size), two (2) sets of
calculations must be performed;
1 . Calculate the M CA, MOP and/or RDE values using th e
above equation as if the unit is operating in the cooling
mode.
2. Calculate the MCA, MOP and/or RDE values as if the
unit is operating in the heating mode, as follows:
Note: When determining loads, the compressors and
condenser fan motors do not operate during the
heating cycle.
Units with less than 50 KW Heaters
MCA = 1.25 x (Load 1 + Load 2 + Load 4) + (1.25 x Load 3)
Units with 50 KW or Larger Heaters
MCA = 1.25 x (Load 1 + Load 2 + Load 4) + Load 3
The MCA value stamped on the nameplate is the largest of
the two calculated values.
MOP = (2.25 x Load 1) + Load 2 + Load 3 + Load 4 (See Note
1)
The MOP value stamped on the nameplate is the largest of
the two calculated values.
RDE = (1 .5 x Load 1) + Load 2 + Load 3 + Load 4 (See Note 2)
Note: Select an over current protection device equal to
the MOP value. If the calculated MOP value does
not equal a standard size protection device listed in
NEC 240-6, select the next lower over current
protection device. If the calculated MOP value is
less than the MCA value, select the lowest over
current protection device whic h is equal to or larger
than the MCA, providing the selected over current
device does not exceed 800 amps.
Note: Select a Dual Element Fuse equal to the RDE value.
If the calculated RDE value does not equal a
standard dual element fuse size listed in NEC 2406, select the next higher fuse size. If the calculated
RDE value is greater than the MOP value, select a
Dual Element fuse equal to the calculated MOP

Installation Piping
General Requirements
All internal gas piping for YC* rooftop units are factory
installed and leak tested. Once the unit is set into place, a
gas supply line must be field installed and connected to th e
gas train located inside the gas heat compartment.
WARNING
Hazardous Gases and Flammable Vapors!
Exposure to hazardous gases fr om fuel substances have
been shown to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Improper installati on, adjustment,
alteration, service or use of this product could cause
flammable mixtures or lead to excessive carbon
monoxide. To avoid hazardous g ases an d flamm a bl e
vapors f ol low proper installation and set up of this
product and all warnings as provided in this manual.
Failure to follow all instr u ctio ns could result in death or
serious injury.
Access holes are provided on the unit as shown in
Figure 11, p. 19 to accommodate side panel entry.
Following the guidelines listed below will enhance both
the installation and operation of the furnace.
Note: In the absence of local codes, the installation must
conform with the American National Standard
Z223.1a of the National Fuel Gas Code, (latest
edition).
1. To assure sufficient gas pressure at the unit, use
Table 18, p. 39 to determine the appropriate gas pipe
size for the heating capacity listed on the unit's
nameplate.
If a gas line already exists, verify that it is sized large
enough (Table 18, p. 39) to handle the additional
furnace capacity.
2. Take all branc h piping from any main gas line from the
top at 90 degrees or side at 45 degrees to prevent
moisture from being drawn in with the gas.
3. Ensure that all piping connections are adequately
coated with joint sealant and properly tightened. Use a
piping compound that is resistant to liquid petroleum
gases.
4. Provide a drip leg near the unit.
NOTICE:
Gas Valve Damage!
•Failure t o use a pr essure r egulating device will r esult
in incorrect gas pressures. This can cause erratic
operation due to gas pr essure fluct uations as well as
damage to the gas valve.
•Oversizing the regulat or will cause irregular pulsating
flame patterns, burner rumble, potential flame
outages, as well as possible gas valve damage.
5. Install a pressure regulator at the unit that is adequa te
to maintain 6" w.c. for natural gas and 11" w.c. for LP
gas while the unit is operating in the “High Heat”
mode. A minimum inlet gas pressure of 2.5" w.c. for
natural gas and 8" w.c. for LP gas is required while
operating in the “High Heat” mode.
Note: Gas pressure in excess of 14" w.c. or 0.5 psig will
damage the gas train.
WARNING
Hazard of Explosion!
Never use an open flame to detect gas leaks. It could
result in an explosion. Use a leak test solution for leak
testing. Failure to follow recommended safe leak test
procedures could result in death or serious injury or
equipment or property-only-damage.
6. Leak test the gas supply line using a soap-and-water
solution or equivalent before connecting it to the gas
train.
7. Pressure test the supply line before connecting it to the
unit to prevent possible gas valve damage and the
unsafe operating conditions that will result.
Note: Do not rely on gas train shutoff valves to isolate
the unit while conducting gas pressure/leak
test. These valves are not designed to
withstand pressures in excess of 14" w.c. or 0.5
psig.
Connecting the Gas Supply Line to the
Furnace Gas Train
Follow the steps below to complete the installation
between the supply gas line and the furnace. Refer to
Figure 34, p. 39 for the Gas Train configuration.
1 . Connect the supply gas piping using a “ground-joint”
type union to the furnace gas train and c hec k for leaks.
2. Provide adequate support for the field installed gas
piping to avoid stressing the gas train and controls.
3. Adjust the inlet supply gas pressure to the
recommended 6" for natural gas or 11" w.c. for LP gas.

System Operation
Economizer Operation with a
Conventional Thermostat (CV Only)
If the ambient conditions are suitable for economizer
operation, the economizer is activated as the 1st step of
cooling from Y1. The dampers are controlled to provide a
supply air temperature of 50° F +/- 5° F. If the economizer
is disabled due to ambient conditions, the 1st stage of
mechanical cooling is activated.
While economizing, if an additional stage of cooling is
activated from Y2, the 1st stage of mechanical cooling is
activated. If the economizer is disabled due to ambient
conditions, the 2nd stage of mechanical cooling is
activated.
The supply fan is activated from the G terminal and will
cycle with a call for heat or cooling if in the “Auto” mode.
It will run continuously in the “On” mode regardless of any
other system demand.
On gas heat units, first and second stages are activated by
the W1 and W2 terminals on the CTI. On electric heat units,
only two stages of heat are available. If the W2 terminal is
activated without activating the W1 terminal, the RTRM
will bring on both stages of electric heat.
The Conventional Thermostat connections can also be
utilized as a generic building automation system interface
for constant volume ICS applications. Due to the limited
heating and cooling steps when using a conventional
thermostat, compressor staging will vary on units with
three compressors.
Note: If a conventional thermostat is used with a unit that
has modulating gas heat, the unit will control to the
Discharge Air SP potentiometer on the RTOM when
heating with a W1 call only . The unit will go to high
fire with W1 + W2.
Microelectronic Control Features
1. Anti short cycle timer (ASCT) function. Compressor
operation is programmed for 3 minutes of minim um
“ON” time, and 3 minutes of minimum “OFF” time.
Enhances compressor reliability, and ensures proper
oil return.
Note: Compressor cycle rate minimization, extends
compressor life expectancy. Minimizes damaging
compressor inrush current, and guards against
short cycling.
2. Delay between stages timer function. When combined
with a standard Zone Sensor Module, the Reliatel
Refrigeration Module (RTRM) provides a 10 second
minimum “ON” delay for compressor staging.
3. Built in Fan Delay Relay function for Constant Volume
and Single Zone VA V units. When the fan mode switch
on the Zone Sensor Module is set in the auto position,
the RTRM provides individual supply fan timing
sequences for each system in heating and cooling. The
RTRM provides different timing sequences for Gas
Heat units and Cooling only units.
4. Low ambient cooling to 0°F with Frostat™.
5. Built in electric heat staging, provides a 10 second
“ON” delay between resistance heat stages.
6. Economizer preferred cooling allows fully integrated
economizer operation with mechanical cooling if
actually needed.
On Constant Volume and Single Zone VAV
applications, a 3 minute delay allows the RTRM to
evaluate the rate of change in the zone. If the zone
temperature is dropping faster than acceptable
parameters, the compressor(s) will not be required to
operate.
7. Free night setback allows the unit to enter an
unoccupied mode by simply shor ting across terminals
RTRM J6-11 and J6-12. The short can be achieved by a
set of dry contacts or a time clock. Once this shor t has
been made the unit will close the economizer dampers,
go from continuous fan to auto fan operation, and:
CV or SZ VAV Unit w/Mechanical ZSM
If the unit has a valid cooling and heating setpoint, the
setup/setback is a minimum of 7°F.
If the unit does not have both setpoints, the setup/
setback is 0°.
If the unit has neither setpoint, the unoccupied cooling/
heating setpoints will be 74°F/71°F.
If the unit is configured as a Constant V olume unit and
a conventional thermostat is used, this inpu t is ignored
and the unit will respond to thermostat requests as
during normal occupied mode.
VA V unit w/o ICS or NSB energizes heating if the space
temperature drops to 10°F below the MWU setpoint
but not less than 50°F
This option can not be used with programmabl e ZSM
or with an ICSTM system.
8. Low pressure cutouts on all compressors have been
added to insure compressor reliability in low
refrigerant flow situations. The compressor(s) will
lockout after four consecutive low pressure control
trips during the compressor minimum 3 minute “on”
time. The lockout will have to be manual reset as
explained in this document.
RT-SVX34H-EN43
Startup
Economizer Operation with CV Controls
The control point for the economizer is designed to control
at least 1 .5°F below the cooling setpoint or 1 . 5°F above the
heating setpoint, whichever produces the highest
economizer control setpoint.
Example:
Heating Setpoint = 68°F
Cooling Setpoint = 70°F
The control temperature for the economizer will be 1.5°F
above the heating setpoint
due to it producing the least amount of offset.
Heating Setpoint = 55°F
Cooling Setpoint = 75°F
Because of the spread between the heating and cooling
setpoints, the control will choose to control the
economizer at an offset temperature of 1.5°F below the
cooling setpoint. This will be the highest resulting control
setpoint temperature while maintaining the least amount
of offset.
The percentage that the economizer dampers open is
based on two factors:
1 . The zone temperature minus the economizer setpoi nt,
and,
2. The zone temperature minus the outdoor air
temperature.
Note: Table 20lists the percentages the dampers will
While economizing, if the supply air temperature falls
below 50°F, the damper will not be allowed to open any
further until the supply air temperature rises above 50°F. If
the supply air temperature falls below 45°F, the dampers
will be driven to minimum position and held there until the
supply air temperature rises above 50°F.
The mechanical cooling is disab led whi le in an
economizing state until two conditions are met:
1. The economizer dampers have been fully open for
three minutes, and;
2. The calculated rate of change in the zone temperature
is less than 12°F per hour.
If the economizer is disabled due to u nsuitable conditions,
the economizer is at the selected minimum position when
the supply fan is “On”, and is closed when the supply fan
0.0-0.5 0.5-1.0 1.0-2.0 2.0-3.0 3.0-5.0 >5.0
is “Off”. The mechanical cooling will cycle as though the
unit had no economizer.
Modulating Power Exhaust
If the unit is equipped with the modulating power exhaust
option, the power exhaust actuator will follow the position
of the economizer actuator.
Mechanical Cooling without an
Economizer (CV and SZ VAV)
Mechanical cooling is used to maintain the zone
temperature. The RTRM is designed to limit the
compressor cycle rates to within 10 cycles per hour based
on the minimum compressor “on” and “off” times.
It stages the mechanical cooling to control the zone
temperature to within +/- 2°F of the sensor setpoint at the
sensed location. Table 21 lists the compressor staging
sequence for standard efficiency units.
For high efficiency units there are three separate staging
sequences which determ ine the staging of 3 compressors
within each sequ ence. Each call for cool will operate w ithin
a given sequence and the next call for cool will operate in
the next sequence. Lead/Lag operation is taken into
consideration with these 3 staging sequences and will be
active when Lead/Lag is configured. Table 22 lists the
compressor staging sequence for high efficiency units.

Figure 39. Compressors
Zone Temperature - Occupied Cooling (CV
and SZ VAV)
When the unit is in the cooling mode and the zone
temperature raises above the cooling setpoint control
band, the economizer and the compressor stages will be
cycled as required by the zone sensor, remote panel, or
Tracer®. For SZ VAV control, the fan capacity will also be
controlled in order to meet the zone cooling demand.
Zone Temperature - Occupied Heating (CV
and SZ VAV)
When the unit is in the heating mode and the zone
temperature falls below the heating setpoint control band,
the necessary stages of heat will cycle to raise the
temperature to within the setpoint control band. For SZ
VAV, the fan capacity will also be controlled in order to
meet the zone heating demand.
Supply Fan (CV and SZ VAV)
When the Fan Selection S witch is in the “AUTO” position
and a call for cooling is initiated, the supply fan w ill delay
starting for approximately one second on traditional CV
units. For SZ VAV units, the supply fan will be controlled
ON based on the zone cooling demand. Once ON, the unit
will begin staging cooling capacity (economizer and/or
compressors) in order to meet the discharge air
requirements. Once the zone has been satisfied, the
supply fan will be controlled OFF. When the Fan Selection
Switch is in the “ON” position, the supply fan will run
continuously. If airflow through the unit is not proven by
the differential pressure switch (factory setpoint 0.15 “w.c.)
within 40 seconds nominally , the RTRM will shut off all
mechanical operations, lock the system out, send a
diagnostic to ICS, and the SERVICE LE D output will pulse.
The system will remain loc ked out until a reset is initiated
either manually or through ICS or a mode transition from
OFF to a non-OFF mode.
Supply Air Tempering (CV and SZ VAV)
CV Units with Staged Heat
This function allows the supply air te mperature to be
maintained within a low limit parameter during minimum
ventilation periods. For CV units configured with a Staged
Heat design (Electric or Gas) and Supply Air Tempering
operation enabled, if the following items are true, the unit
will enter Supply Air Tempering mode:
1. The supply fan is ON.
2. The unit is in Occupied mode.
3. Zone Temp. is less than the active Cooling setpoint.
4. The unit is in Heat mode but is not actively heating OR
5. The unit is in AUTO-COOL mode but not actively
cooling and cooling capacity has been OFF for 5
minutes.
Once the above conditions are met, if the supply air
temperature drops to 10°F BELOW the Occupied Heating
Zone Temperature Setpoint, the SA Tempering function
will bring ON one stage of gas or electric heat.
Once SA T e mpering is active, heating will be turned OFF if
the Supply Air T emperature rises to 10°F ABOVE the Active
Occupied Zone Heating Setpoint, or the Zone T emp erature
rises to the Active Zone Cooling Setpoint. Also, if the Zone
Heat Control function is calling for 1 or more stages of
Heat, Tempering will be discontinued and the unit will
stage additional heating to meet the current demand.
When an economizer is installed, air tempering is allowed
with ICSTM when the fan system switch is in the “ON”
position with no call for heating. The same conditions
must be met as described above for entering and leaving
Tempering operation.
RT-SVX34H-EN45
Startup
CV Units with Modulating Heat
On units with Modulating Gas Heat, Supply Air T empering
is inherent to the Modulating Heat design and does not
require any additional configuration/enabling. Modulating
Heat Tempering is accomplished by allowing the unit to
return to heating if the Zone is marginally satisfied and the
Supply Air temperature begins to fall. The following
conditions must be true to enable the unit to perform
“Tempering”:
1. The supply fan is ON.
2. The unit is in Occupied mode.
3. Zone Temp. is less than the active Cooling setpoint.
4. The unit is in Heat mode but is not actively heating OR
5. The unit is in AUTO-COOL mode but not actively
cooling and cooling capacity has been OFF for 5
minutes.
Once the above conditions are met, and the supply air
temperature drops below the ZHSP - 10°F, the unit will
transition back into active heating operation and will begin
to control the modulating heat output to maintain the
supply air temperature.
Once the unit has entered into Tempering mode, the unit
will leave active heating either by normal heat termination
as determined by the heating control algorithm or when
the Zone Temperature reaches the active ZCSP.
SZ VAV Units with Staged Heat
For SZ VAV units configured with a Staged Heating type,
the Supply Air T empering function will operate as on a CV
unit with Staged Heat.
SZ VAV Units with Modulating Heat
For units configured with a Modulating Heat type,
“Tempering” is an extension of normal Heating control
which allows a transition from inactive “Auto-Cool” mode
to Heating based on supply air temperature i f the Zone
Temperature is in control. The following conditions must
be true to allow the unit to enter Supply Air Tempering:
1. Supply Fan is ON.
2. The unit is in Occupied mode.
3. The unit is operating in Auto-Cool Mode.
4. Cooling has been inactive for 5 minutes.
When the above conditions are true, Tempering will be
allowed when the Supply Air T emperature falls below the
user selectable Minimum Supply Air Cooling Setpoint
(minus deadband) as long as the Zone Temperature is <
ZCSP - 1°F. Once the unit transitions into “T empering” the
unit will transition to normal heating control and will
control the supply air temperat ure between the minimum
and maximum supply air setpoints.
If the Zone Temperature rises above the ZCSP during
“Tempering” the unit will de-energize Heating and
“Tempering” will be disabled until conditions allow for it
again. Normal Auto-Changeover requirements will be in
control to allow the unit to transition into Active Cool
mode.
Variable Air Volume Applications
(Single Zone VAV)
Supply Fan Output Control
Units configured for Single Zone VAV will include a VFD
controlled supply fan motor which will be controlled via
the 0-10Vdc Indoor Fan Speed output located on the RTOM
and the RTRM Supply Fan output. With the R TRM Supply
Fan output energized and the RTOM Indoor Fan Speed
output at 0Vdc the fan speed output is 33% (20Hz) for
cooling mode and 58% (35Hz) for heating modes from the
VFD motor and at 10Vdc the fan speed output is 100%
(60Hz). The control will scale the 0-1 0Vdc output from the
RT OM linearl y to cont rol to 38%-100% controllable range
based on the space heating or cooling demand.
Minimum Supply Fan Output
Refer to the table below for details on minimum supply fan
output signals associated with each unit function. Note
that each value represents the actual Fan Output %.
Units configured for Single Zone VAV control will utilize
Supply Fan Mode selection as is currently implemented
into ReliaTel controls for normal Zone Control and will be
selectable between AUTO and ON via a connected Zone
Sensor module or through BAS/Network controllers.
Supply Fan Mode Auto Operation
For active Cooling, Heating, and Dehumidification
operation the Supply Fan will be commanded ON and will
ramp up to the appropriate minimum speed once the unit
determines that there is a request for capacity control.
Once the active request is cleared and all capacity is deenergized normal supply fan of f delays as implemented on
constant volume units will be in ef fect. During th e Supply
Fan Off-Delay , the supply fan will remain energize d for the
predetermined time at the previous unit function's
minimum speed. All other cases which would bring the
Supply Fan ON will function as on non-Single Zone VAV
units.
Table 25. DA cool - fan SPD setpoint
Setpoint (°F) Voltage (Vdc) Setpoint (°F) Voltage (Vdc)
For active unit control with the Supply Fan Mode set to ON,
the unit will energize the Supply Fan and hold the Fan
Speed output at minimum speed until there is a request for
the fan speed to increase. This will hold true for all cases
except during Unoccupied periods in which the Supply
Fan Mode is forced to AUTO and will operate the Supply
Fan as described above for all Cooling, Heating, and
Dehumidification requests.
Setpoint Arbitration
Single Zone VAV units will require traditional Zone
Heating (if Heat installed) and Cooling Setpoints that are
used constant volume units in addition to two new
setpoints: Discharge Air Cool (DA Cool - Fan SPD) and
Discharge Air Heat (DA Heat) Setpoint limits. The Zone
Heating and Cooling Setpoints will be selectable via the
existing RTRM customer connections for a Zone Sensor
panel and the DA Heat and Cool Setpoints will be customer
selectable via two onboard potentiometers on the RT OM
with ranges 50-150°F and 40-90°F respectively.
Table 26 and Table 25 below can be used as a reference
when setting the DA Heat (R42) and DA Cool - Fan SPD
(R136) setpoints on the RTOM.
Note: The recommended settings for these setpoints is
100°F for the DA Heat Setpoint and 50°F for the DA
Cool - Fan SPD Setpoint.

Units Configured with the Outside Air
Measurement (Traq) Option
To make a minor correction to the Traq airflow (CFM)
reading that is calculated internally by the ReliaT el system,
an adjustment pot is available on the RTVM. This pot can
be used to correct for sta tic “local” factors such as altitude.
Va riable factors such as drift, temperature, humidity, and
other changing atmospheric conditions are corrected as
part of the conversion calculation.
The adjustment will typically be made in Service Test
mode in a step where the OA damper is being commanded
to the T raq OA Minimum Position Request with all required
Traq control inputs valid (i.e. sensors, setpoints, RTVM
board). The OA flow adjustment setpoint potentiometer
(R136) on the RTVM will be used to adjust the value up to
a factor of +/- 20% (0.80 to 1 .20) Full co unter -cloc kwise will
be – 20% and full clockwise will be + 20%. The
potentiometer will be set to the middle position (between
full CCW and full CW) in a “Deadband” area representing
no adjustment 0% (factor of 1.00) by default. The
adjustment will be applied linearly across the sensing
range of the airflow sensor which may produce
inaccuracies at airflow levels not close to the value at
which the calibration adjustment was made.
Sequence for Setting Calibration:
1. If unit is configured with DCV disconnect CO2 sensor
prior to powering unit. After calibration remove power
from unit and reconnect CO
2. Adjust the Design Minimum OA Flow Setpoint
potentiometer (R130/R41) on the RTVM to your desired
flow rate for minimum ventilation (See Table 27).
3. Initiate Service Test and step to the Minimum
Ventilation step. This will set the unit into a constant ID
fan speed and OA damper request to minimum
position. Minimum position will be from the Traq
calculation to maintain the OA flow at the setpoint.
4. Allow the damper position to settle to the desired flow
rate set by the setpoint.
5. Measure the OA flow rate via an air balancing
instrument.
6. Adjust the OA flow adjustment setpoint potentiometer
(R136) clockwise or counter-clockwise to “dial in” the
flow to match the instrument in
Units configured for Single Zone VAV control require
special handling of the OA Damper Minimum Position
control in order to compensate for the non-linearity of
airflow associated with the variable supply fan speed and
damper combinations.

p. 51 for additional details on the design.
The Design Minimum and DCV Minimum OA Damper
Position setpoints at Minimum F an Speed Command and
the Design Minimum OA Damper Position setpoint at
Middle Fan Speed Command will have a range of 0-100%
while the Design Minimum and DCV Minimum OA
Damper Position setpoints at Full fan speed will have a
range of 0-50%. Note that as on non-Single Zone VAV
units, a 10% offset will be enforced between the Design
and DCV Minimum Positions throughout the fan speed
range.
By default, the Design Minimum Position schedule (red
line below) will be a linear line through all user selectable
Design Minimum Position setpoints. The user will have the
ability to set the Design Minimum Position at Middle fan
speed command to a point that would be lower than the
calculated linear line between the Design Minimum
Position setpoints at 0% and 1 00% fan speed command in
order to compensate for the non-linear outside airflow
through the fan and damper modulation range. However ,
if the Design Minimum Position at Mi dd le fan speed
command is set to a point that would be higher than the
calculated linear line between the Design Minimum
Position setpoints at Minimum and Full fan speed
command, the minimum position will be limited to the
point that would make the Design Minimum Position
schedule linear.
Provisions have been made in Service T est Mode to allow
for proper damper minimum position setup:
1 . To set the Design and DCV Minimum Position setpoints
at Minimum Fan Speed, set the unit to operate at Step
1 (Fan ON) or Step 2 (Economizer Open) and make the
proper adjustments.
2. To set the Design Minimum Position setpoint at Midd le

make the proper adjustment.
3. To set the Design and DCV Minimum Position setpoints
at Full Fan Speed, set the unit to operate at Step 4 (Cool

Units with Traq Sensor
The outside air enters the unit through the Traq Sensor
assembly and is measured by velocity pressur e flow rings.
The velocity pressure flow rings are connected to a
pressure transducer/solenoid assembly.The solenoid is
used for calibration purposes to compensate for
temperature swings that could affect the transducer.The
ReliaTel Ventilation Module (RTVM) utilizes the velocity
pressure input, the outdoor air temperature input, and the
minimum outside air CFM setpoint to modify the volume
(CFM) of outside air entering the unit as the measured
airflow deviates from setpoint.
For units with Traq, when the optional CO
installed and Demand Controlled Ventilation is enabled
the Minimum Outside Air CFM Setpoint will be adjusted
linearly between two airflow setpoints, the Design
Minimum Outside Air (OA) CFM Setpoint (R130) and the

setpoint will be 0-50%.
By default, the Design Minimum Position schedule (red
line below) will be a linear line through all user selectable
Design Minimum Position setpoints. As with Demand
Controlled Ventilation, if the Design Minimum Position at
Middle fan speed command is set to a point that would be
higher than the calculated linear line between the Design
Minimum Position setpoints at Minimum and Maximum
fan speed command, the minimum position will be limited
to the point that would make the Design Minimum Position
schedule linear.
Provisions have been made in Service T est Mode to allow
for proper damper minimum position setup:
1. To set the Design Minimum Position setpoint at
Minimum Fan Speed, set th e unit to op erate at Step 1
(Fan ON) or Step 2 (Economizer Open) and make the
proper adjustment.
2. To set the Design Minimum P osition setpoint at Middle
Fan Speed, set the unit to operate at Step 3 (Cool 1) and
make the proper adjustment.
3. To set the Design Minimum Position setpoint at Full
Fan Speed, set the unit to operate at Step 4 (Cool 2) and
make the proper adjustment.

Space Pressure Control
For units configured with an exhaust fan, with or without
Statitrac, the control described previously for economizer
minimum position handling requires additional changes
to the existing Space Pressure Control sch eme. The overall
scheme will remain very similar to non-Single Zone VAV
units with Space Pressure Control with the exception of a
dynamic Exhaust Enable Setpoint.
For Single Zone V AV the user wil l select an Exhaust Enable
Setpoint during the Maximum Fan Speed Command.
Once selected, the difference between the Exhaust Enable
Setpoint and Design OA Damper Minimum Position at
Maximum Fan Speed Command will be calculated. The
difference calculated will be used as an offset to be added
to the Active Building Design OA Minimum Position T arget
to calculate the dynamic Exhaust Enable Target to be used
throughout the Supply Fan Speed/OA Damper Position
range.
The Exhaust Enable Target could be above or below the
Active Bldg Design OA Min P osition T arget Setpoint b ased
on the Active Exhaust Enable Setpoint being set above or
below the Bldg Design Min Position at Full Fan Speed
Command. Note that an Exhaust Enable Setpoint of 0%
will result in the same effect on Exhaust F an control as on
non-Single Zone VAV applications with and without
Statitrac.

Traq Overrides and Special
Considerations
Traq functionality is not used in unoccupied mode since
fresh air control is an occupied ventilation function.
Damper position will be set to 0% minimum in Unoccupied
as with other types of unit configuration.
If the Remote Minimum Position pot on the RTEM is
shorted (as with NOVAR controls) the Traq minimum
damper position will be overridden to 0% as with other
unit configurations.
Traq functions and sensor value are only valid during
active Supply Fan operation therefore a value of "0 CFM"
will be substituted for any low level (bleed through) sensor
value that may be sensed on the OA Flow Sensor during
"Fan OFF" periods. O A Da mper Minimum P o sition is only
valid during active fan operation in all configurations.
The Design Min OA Flow Setpoint will be limited to a lower
limit of 1,000 CFM and an upper limit of 20,000 CFM.
Setting of valu es outside of this range, except for "0 CFM",
will result in the setting being cl amped within the range. A
value of "0" CFM will be allowed and will result in
initialization of the Traq OA Damper Min Position
calculation, and an active value of “0%” will be sent as the
Active Traq setpoint. This allows the user to set the damper
closed by setting the flow setpoint to 0 CFM.
If Demand Controlled Ventilation is configured then the
lower limit of the Design Min OA Flow Setpoint will be
1,500 CFM to allow a gap to the DCV Min OA Flow Setpoint
of 500 CFM making its lower limit 1,00 0 CFM. When the
Design Min OA Flow Setpoint is greater than 1,500 CFM a
minimum of 500 CFM offset will be enforced between the
DCV Min OA Flow Setpoint and the Design Min OA Flow
Setpoint.
If configured for Traq operation and OA CFM
Compensation, the unit will perform Traq control since it
will be the most accurate method of control. This situation
might occur if a unit is upgraded to Traq control, but the OA
CFM Compensation config jumper on the R TEM is left on.
It will be assumed by the presence of a valid OA CFM Flow
Sensor and the RTVM version that supports Traq is
accompanied by all the necessary unit e quipment
upgrades.
Supply Air Temperature Control - Heating
and Cooling
For Cooling, Heating (Modulating Heat Only), and
Dehumidification operation the unit will control the active
capacity outputs to meet a varying, calculated Discharge
Air Setpoint that is calculated based on zon e conditions in
order to maintain the Zone T emperature to the active Zone
Setpoint. Note that this setpoint will be clamped between
the user selected DA Heat and DA Cool - Fan Speed
setpoints that are set on the RTOM for compressor and
economizer control. In general, as the zone temperature
rises above the ZCSP, the Active Discharge Air S etpoint will
be calculated down and as the zone temperature falls
below the ZHSP Tset will be calculated upward. This
calculated setpoint is a direct indication of space demand
and is also used to determine the proper supply fan speed
to meet the space requirements. During active capacity
control, the unit will utilize a +/- 3.5°F deadband around the
active Discharge Air Setpoint to determine when to
request additional heating or cooling capacity similarly to
traditional VAV control, as described below. If the unit is
maintaining the disch arge air temperature within the +/-
3.5°F deadband around the calculated discharge air
setpoint requirements, no additional capacity will be
requested.
The calculated setpoint will also be used for active
economizer control, but the economizer will utilize a
tighter control deadband (+/- 1.5°F) than that is used for
compressor output control. Also, as on Traditional VAV
units, mechanical cooling will be inhibited if econ omizing
is enabled until the economizer has been full open for 3
minutes.
Variable Air Volume Applications
(Traditional VAV)
Supply Air Temperature Control Occupied Cooling and Heating
The RTRM is designed to maintain a selectable supply air
temperature of 40°F to 90°F with a +/- 3.5°F deadband. In
cooling, if supply air temperature is more than 3.5 degrees
warmer than the selected temperature, a stage of cooling
will be turned “On” (if available). Then if the supply air
temperature is more than 3.5 degrees cooler than the
selected temperature, a stage of cooling will be turned
“Off”.
At very low airflows the unit may cycle stages “On” and
“Off” to maintain an average discharge air temperature
outside the 7 degree deadband.
RT-SVX34H-EN53
Startup
If the unit has modulating heat, the unit can be made to do
discharge heating with VAV control. This is done by
placing a contact closure across the “Changeover Input”
on the RTAM. During this mode, the unit will heat to the
Supply Air Heating Setpoint +/- 3.5°F. During low load or
low airflow conditions the actual temperature swing of the
discharge air will likely be greater.
The RTRM utilizes a proportional and integral control
scheme with the integration occur ring when the supply air
temperature is outside the deadband. As long as the
supply air temperature is within the setpoint deadband,
the system is considered to be satisfied and no staging up
or down will occur.
Supply Air Temperature Control with an
Economizer
The economizer is utiliz ed to control the supply air cooling
at +1 .5°F around the supply air temperature setpoint range
of 40°F and 90°F providing the outside air conditions are
suitable.
While economizing, the mechanical cooling is disabled
until the economizer dampers have been fully open for
three minutes. If the economizer is disabled due to
unsuitable conditions, the mechanical cooling will cycle as
though the unit had no economizer.
VHR Relay Output
During unoccupied mode, daytime warm-up (DWU) and
morning warm-up (MWU) the VFD will open to 100%. All
VA V boxes must be opened thro ugh an ICS program or by
the VHR wired to the VAV boxes. The RTRM will delay
100% fan operation approximately 6.5 minutes when
switching f rom occupied cooling mode to a heating mode.
Zone Temperature Control without a
Night Setback Panel or ICS - Unoccupied
Cooling
When a field supplied occupied/unoccupied switching
device is connected between RTRM J6-1 1 and RTRM J6-12,
both the economizer and the mechanical cooling will be
disabled.
Zone Temperature Control without a
Night Setback Panel or ICS - Unoccupied
Heating
When a field supplied occupied/unoccupied switching
device is connected between RTRM J6-11 and J6-12 and
DWU is enabled, the zone temperature will be controlled at
10°F below the Morning Warm-up setpoint, but not less
than 50°F, by cycling one or two stages of either gas or
electric heat, whichever is applicable.
Morning Warm-up (MWU) Control
Morning Warm-up is activated if the zone temperature is at
least 1 .5°F below the MWU setpoint whenever the system
switches from Unoccupied to Occupied status. The MWU
setpoint may be set from the unit mounted potentiometer
or a remotely mounted potentiometer. The setpoint
ranges are from 50°F to 90°F. When the zone temperature
meets or exceeds the MWU setpoint, the unit will switch to
the “Cooling” mode. The economizer w ill be h el d c los ed
during the morning warm-up cycle.
Daytime Warm-up (DWU) Control
Daytime Warm-up is applicable during occupied status
and when the zone temperature is below the initiation
temperature. It can be activated or deactiva ted through
ICS or a night setback z one sensor . If ICS or a night setbac k
zone sensor is not utilized, DWU can be activated by
setting the DWU enable DIP switch (RTAM) to ON and
supplying a valid morning warm-up setpoint.
The unit is shipped with a Morning Warm-up setpoint
configured and the Daytime W arm-up function is activated
(switch on). Opening the DWU enable switch will disable
this function.
If the system control is local, the DWU initiation setpoint is
3°F below the Morning Warm-up setpoint. The terminatio n
setpoint is equal to the Morning Warm-up setpoint.
If the system control is remote (Tracer™), the DWU
setpoint is equal to the Tracer Occupied heating setpoint.
The initiation and termination setpoints are selectable
setpoints designated by Tracer.
When the zone temperature meets or exceeds the
termination setpoint while the unit is in an Occupied,
“Auto” Mode or switched to the “Cooling” Mode, the unit
will revert to the cooling operation.
If an Occupied “Heating” Mode is selected, the unit will
only function within the DWU perimeters until the system
is switched from the “Heat” Mode or enters an
Unoccupied status.
Note: When a LCI is installed on a VAV unit, the MWU
setpoint located on the RTAM board is ignored. The
MWU and DWU setpoints come from the higher
priority LCI-R DAC.
Supply Duct Static Pressure Control
The supply duct static pressure is measured by a
transducer with a 0.25 to 2.125 Vdc proportional output
which corresponds to an adjustable supply duct static
pressure of 0.3" w.c. to 2.5" w.c. respectively with a
deadband adjustment range from 0.2" w.c. to 1.0" w.c. The
setpoint is adjustable on the RTAM Static Pressure
Setpoint potentiometer or through ICS.
Deadband = 0.2" w.c. (RTAM)
Duct Static Control Range = 1.9" w.c. to 2.1" w.c.
Figure 44. Output vs. input
Supply Air Temperature Reset
The supply air temperature can be reset by using one of
four DIP switch confi gurations on the RT AM or through ICS
when a valid supply air reset setpoint with a supply air
reset amount is given. A selectable reset amount of 0° F to
20°F via RT AM potentiometer or ICS i s permissible for each
type of reset.
The amount of change applied to the supply air
temperature setpoint depends on how far the retu rn air,
zone, or outdoor air temperature falls below the reset
temperature setpoint. If the return air , zone, or outdoor air
temperature is equal to or greater than the reset
temperature setpoint, the amount of change is zero.
If the return air, or zone temperature falls 3°F below the
reset temperature setpoint, the amount of reset applied to
the supply air temperature will equal the maximum
amount of reset selected.
If the outdoor air temperature falls 20°F below the reset
temperature setpoint, the amount of reset applied to the
supply air temperature will equal the maximum amount of
reset selected. The four DIP switch configurations are as
follows:
1. None - When RTAM DIP Switch #3 and #4 are in the
“Off” position, no reset will be allowed.
2. Reset based on Return Air Temperature - When RT AM
DIP Switch #3 is “Off” and Switch #4 is “On”, a
selectable supply air reset setpoint of 50°F to 90°F via
a unit mounted potentiometer or Tracer™ is
permissible.
3. Reset based on Zone Temperature - When RTAM DIP
Switch #3 is “On” and Switc h #4 is “Off”, a selectable
supply air reset setpoint of 50°F to 90°F via RTAM
potentiometer or Tracer is permissible.
4. Reset based on Outdoor Air Temperature - When DIP
Switch #3 and #4 are “On ”, a selectable supply air reset
RT-SVX34H-EN55
setpoint of 0°F to 100°F via RTAM potentiometer or
Tracer is permissible.
VAV Supply Air Tempering (Only Available
with Modulating Gas Heat)
The gas heater will be modulated to prevent the Discharge
Air Temperature from falling below the Discharge
Temperature Deadband. Upon satisfyi ng the Supply Air
T empering requirements, a 5 minute S A Tempering Delay
timer will start whenever the modulating gas heat
combustion blower is commanded to 0 and must time out
before the unit will be allowed to re-enter “Cool” mode.
This timer will be reset to 5 minutes whenever there is an
active call for “Supply Air Tempering”. Tempering will be
discontinued whenever;
a. The 5 minutes “Supply Air T empering Delay” timer
has timed-out and;
b. There is an active cooling request for VA V Occupied
Cooling.
Constant Volume or Variable Air
V olume Applications (Single Zone
or Traditional)
Off Mode
This mode is set at the zone sensor or by ICS. Duri ng this
status, no heating, ventilation, or mechanical cooling is
being performed. When switching the “S ystem” selector
to the “Of f” mode from any other mode, any diagnostic
data and diagnostic indication signal will be retained as
long as the system remains in the “Of f ” status. Switc hing
the “System” selector from the “Off” mode back to any
other mode of operation will reset all diagnostics.
Zone Temperature - Unoccupied Cooling
(CV or SZ VAV Only)
While a building is in an unoccupied period as designated
by a remote panel with night setback, ICS or RTRM J6-11
and J6-12, the necessary cooling capacity will be
controlled to maintain the zone temperature to within the
unoccupied setpoint deadband. If an economizer is
enabled, it will modulate in an attempt to maintain the
zone temperature to within the setpoint deadband.
Note: On SZ VAV units, the Supply Air Fan Speed will be
controlled as during normal occupied conditions in
order to meet the requirements of the zone.
Unoccupied mode does not require full airflow on
a SZ VAV unit during Cooling operation.
Zone Temperature - Unoccupied Heating
While a building is in an unoccupied period as designated
by a remote panel with night setback or ICS, the necessary
heating capacity will be controlled to maintain the zone
temperature to within the unoccupied setpoint dead band.
Startup
For traditional V A V systems, the VFD will operate at 1 00%
during this mode. It will be necessary to drive VAV boxes
to their maximum position through ICS programming or
the factory provided VHR relay. For SZ VAV systems, the
Supply Air Fan VFD will remain in control as during normal
occupied periods and will be controlled in order to meet
the space requirements. The minimum fan speed will be
based on the configured unit heating type. For Modulating
Heat units, Full Airflow is not required for SZ VAV
applications during Unoccupied periods. For all Staged
Heating types, the Supply Fan will be controlled at
maximum fan speed during active heating operation as
during Occupied periods.
Mechanical Cooling with an Economizer
The economizer is utilized to control the zone temperature
when the outside air conditions are suitable. The method
used to determine economizer effectiveness, depending
on the available data, is described below in descendin g
order of complexity. The most sophisticated method
available is always used.

conditions or outdoor conditions.
Gas Heat Control
The ignition sequence and timing are provided by a
separate heat control module. The RTRM on ly provides
the heating outputs to initiate 1st and 2nd stages and
control the combustion blower relays. Both stages of the
furnace, when initiated after each cycle, will start and
operate for one minute then cycle back if only one stage is
required. Units with modulating heat capabil ities will light
on high fire for one minute and then modulate to the
appropriate heating rate for the building load present.
When the fan selection switc h is in the “AUTO” mode and
the unit is configured as a Constant V olume w ith staged or
modulating gas heat, or SZ VA V with staged gas heat, the
fan will be delayed from coming on for approximately 30
seconds after a call for heat has been initiated. The fan will
remain on for approximately 90 seconds after the heating
setpoint has been satisfied. If the unit is configured for SZ
VAV with modulating heat, the fan will be energized with
the call for heating in order to begin circulating airflow
through the unit for discharge air temperature control.
Once the call for heating is removed, the fan will remain on
for approximately 90 seconds.
Electric Heat Control
The RTRM provides two heating outp uts for 1st and 2nd
stages that will be controlled with at least a 10 seconds
delay between each stage. When the fan selection switch
is in the “AUTO” mode and the unit is configured for
Constant Volume, the fan will start approximately 1
st
second before the 1
heater stage is activated. The fan and
heater will cycle off after the heating setpoint has been
satisfied. If the unit is configured for SZ VAV control, the
Supply Fan will energize approximately 5 seconds prior to
energizing the electric heat outputs. Once the Zone
Heating requirements have been satisfied, the fan and
heat outputs will be controlled off.
Clogged Filter Option
The unit mounted clogged filter switch monitors the
pressure differential across the return air filters. It is
mounted in the filter section and is connected to the
RTOM. The switch is adjustable and can be set for a
particular application. The clogged filter switch is normally
open and will automatically close when the pressure
differential across the filters falls below the clogged filter
setpoint. The RTOM will generate a SERVICE diagnostic
that will be sent to the zone sensor or remote panel when
the clogged filter switch has been closed for at least 2
minutes during supply fan operation. The system will
continue to operate regardless of the status of the clogged
filter switch.

Ventilation Override
Note: Applying 24 volts to one of the three Ventilation
Override Inputs manually activates ventilation
override. One input is provided to request the
Pressurize Mode, the second input the Purge Mode,
and the third input the Exhaust Mode.
When the Pressurize Mode is selected, activating
Ventilat ion Override will cause the supply fan to run, the
economizer to open to 100%, the exhaust fan to turn
(remain) off, or the VFD to run at full speed (SZ VAV and
Traditional VAV), and the VAV boxes to fully open.
When Purge is selected, activating Ventilation Override
will cause the supply fan to run, the economizer to open to
100%, the exhaust fan to run, or the VFD to run at full speed
(SZ VAV or Traditional VAV), and the VAV boxes to fully
open.
When Exhaust is selected, activating Ventilation Over ride
will cause the supply fan to turn off, the economizer to
close to 0%, the exhaust fan to run (exhaust damper at
100% if configured for Statitrac), or the VFD to stop, and
the VAV boxes to operate normally.
If more than one mode is requested at the same time, the
Pressurize request will have priority followed by Purge.
When any V entilation Over ride Mode is active, all heating
and cooling is turned off. For the case where the unit is
required to turn off, the Emergency Stop input is used. The
ICS can also initiate any ventilation override mode.
Table 31 lists the sequence of events within the system for
each ventilation mode. Refer to the unit wiring diagram for
contact switching and wiring.

Emergency Stop
When this binary input is opened, all outputs are
immediately turned off and the system will not be allowed
to restart until the binary input is closed for appro ximately
5 seconds minimum. The shut down is communicated to
Tracer™ if applicable and the Heat and Cool LED outputs
(RTRM J6-7 and J6-8) will blink at a nominal rate of 1 blink
per second.
Phase Monitor
The Phase Monitor is a 3 phase line monitor module that
protects against phase loss, phase reversal and phase
unbalance. It is intended to protect compressors from
reverse rotation. It has an operating input voltage range of
190-600 VA C, and LED indicators for ON and FAUL T. There
are no field adjustments and the module will automatically
reset from a fault condition.
Low Pressure Control
This input incorporates the low pressure cutout of each
refrigeration circuit and can be activated by opening a field
supplied contact.
If this circuit is open before a compressor(s) is started,
neither compressor in that circuit will be allowed to
operate.
Anytime this circuit is opened for 5 continuous seconds,
the compressor(s) in that circuit are turned off
immediately. The compressor(s) will not be allowed to
restart for a minimum of 3 minut es.
If four consecutive open conditions occur during the first
three minutes of operation, the compressor(s) in that
circuit will be locked out, a diagnostic communicated to
Tracer, and a manual reset will be required to restart the
compressor(s).
The dehumidification option has one reheat low pressure
cutout (RLP). The RLP is located on the reheat circuit.
Dehumidification Low Pressure Control
The RLP has been added to insure proper refrigerant
management during active modulating hot gas reheat
operation.
The RLP will be ignored for the first 10 minutes of
compressor run time during active hot gas reheat
operation. Anytime this circuit is opened for 5 continuous
seconds, the compressor(s) in that circuit are turned off
immediately. The compressor(s) will not be allowed to
restart for a minimum of 3 minutes. If four consecutive
open conditions occur during active dehumidification, t he
compressor(s) in that circuit will be locked out.
High Pressure Cutout and Temperature
Discharge Limit
The high pressure controls and temperature discharge
limit are wired in series between the compressor outputs
on the RTRM and the compressor contactors. On 27.5, 30,
and 35 Ton units, if the high pressure safety switch or
temperature discharge limit opens, the RTRM senses a lac k
of current while calling for cooling and locks both
compressors out with an auto reset. On 40 and 50 Ton
units, if the high pressure safety or temperature discharge

Power Exhaust Control (Standard)
The power exhaust fan is started whenever the position of
the economizer dampers meets or exceed the power
exhaust setpoint when the supply fan is on.
The setpoint potentiometer is on the RTOM and is factory
set at 25% for traditional constant volume and variable air
volume units.
For SZ VAV units the default power exhaust enable
setpoint will be 25% as on non-SZ VAV units. However , for
SZ VAV the Exhaust Enable Setpoint will need to be
adjusted for the proper setpoint during the maximum Fan
Speed Command for the unit. Once selected, the
difference between the Exhaust Enable Setpoint and
Design OA Damper Minimum Position at Full Fan Speed
Command will be calculated. The difference calculated will
be used as an offset to be added to the Active Building
Design OA Minimu m Position Target to calculate the
dynamic Exhaust Enable T arget to be used throughout the
Supply Fan Speed/OA Damper Position range:
Exhaust Enable Target = Active Bldg Design OA Min
Position Target + (Active Exhaust Enable Setpoint – Active
Bldg Design OA Min Position @ Full F an Speed Command)
The Exhaust Enable Target could be above or below the
Active Bldg Design OA Min Position T arget Setpoint based
on the Active Exhaust Enable Setpoint being set above or
below the Bldg Design Min Position at Full Fan Speed
Command. Note that an Exhaust Enable Setpoint of 0%
will result in the same effect on Exhaust Fan control as on
non-Single Zone VAV applications with and without
Statitrac; Exhaust Fan ON. Se e Figure 45, p. 58 for how the
exhaust enable setpoint is modified throughout the OA
damper operating range.

Space Pressure Control - Statitrac
A pressure transducer is used to measure and report direct
space (building) static pressure. The user-defined control
parameters used in this control scheme are Space
Pressure Setpoint and Space Pressure Deadband. As the
Economizer opens, the building pressure rises and
enables the Exhaust Fan. The Exhaust dampers will be
modulated to maintain Space Pressure within the Space
Pressure Deadband.
Note: The Exhaust Enable setpoint will need to be
selected as on units with standard power exhaust
control.

Lead/Lag Control
Lead/Lag is a selectable input located on the RTRM. On 2

activate the Lead/Lag function, simply remove the jumper
connection J3-8 at the RTRM Lead/Lag input. When it is

shut off due to the load being satisfied, the lead
compressor or refrigeration circuit switches. On the 5
stage high efficiency units, the RTRM is configured from
the factory with the Lead/Lag control enabled. With it
active, each time the desi gnat ed lead comp resso r i s shut
off due to the load being satisfied, the controls will sw itc h
to the next staging sequence. When the R TRM is powered
up, i.e. after a power failure, the control will default to the

will stage off. For dual circuit units one circuit will be
staged off initially , and then if the EET remains below 35ºF
for an additional 10 minutes, the second circuit will be
staged off. Fo r single circuit units one compressor wil l be
staged off initially , and then if the EET remains below 35ºF
for an additional 10 minutes, the second circuit will be
staged off. When the unit is operating in dehumid ification
mode, only the reheat circuit will be re-enabled if the EET
rises above 45ºF. The cooling circuit will n ot be re-enabled
during dehumidification until the unit leaves the current
dehumidification cycle or a dehumidification purge is
initiated. If the unit is operating in Coolin g, the first circuit
that de-energized will be re-enabled when the EET rises
above 45ºF. The second compressor will be allowed to reenergize at 10 minutes af ter the EET rises above 45ºF or if
a purge cycle is initiated.
Drain Pan Condensate Overflow Switch
(Optional)
This input incorporates the Condensate Overflow Switch
(COF) mounted on the drain pan and the ReliaTel Options
Module (RTOM). When the condensate level reaches the
trip point for 6 continuous seconds, the RTOM will shut
down all unit function until the overflow condi t ion has
cleared. The unit will return to normal operation after 6
continuous seconds with the COF in a non-tripped
condition. If the condensate level causes the unit to
shutdown more than 2 times in a 3 day period, th e unit will
be locked-out of operation. A manual reset of the
diagnostic system through the Zone Sensor or Building
Automation System (BAS) will be required. Cycling unit
power will also clear the fault.
Coil Frost Protection
The Frostat™ control monitors the suction line
temperature to prevent the evaporator from freezing due
to low operating temperatures whenever there is a
demand for cooling. When a closed circuit has occ urred for
5 seconds minimum, the RTRM turns of f all of the cooling
outputs. The Supply Fan will be held “On” until the Frostat
has been open for 5 continuous seconds or for 60 seconds
after the last compressor was shut “ Off”, whichever is the
longest. The compressor shutdown is communicated to
Tracer, if applicable. There is no local diagnostic for this
condition.
VFD Programming Parameters
See System Troubleshooting section.
Condenser Fan Sequencing Control
The condenser fans are cycled according to the outdoor air
temperature and the number of cooling steps that are
operating. Table 34 lists the temperatures at which the A
and B Condenser Fan Outputs on the RTRM switches the
fans “Off”. The fans are switched back “ON” when the
outdoor temperature rises approximately 5° F above the
“Off” temperature.
Figure 47, p. 60 shows the condenser fans as viewed from
the top of the unit facing the control panel. Whenever a
condenser fan is cycled back “On”, the condenser fan

Preparing the Unit for Operation
Be sure to complete all of the procedures described in this
section before starting the unit for the first time.
Use the checklist provided below in conjunction with the
“Installation Checklist” to ensure that the unit is properly
installed and ready for operation.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects before servicing . Follow proper lock out/
tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be
inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power
before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
•Check all electrical connections for tightness and
“point of termination” accuracy.
•V erify that the condenser airflow will be unobstructed.
•Check the compressor crankcase oil level. Oil should
be visible in the compressor oil sight glass. The oil
level may be above the sight glass prior to the initial
start. Use appropriate lighting (flashlight) to verify the
presence of oil.
•Prior to unit startup allow the crankcase heater to
operate a minimum of 8 hours to remove liquid
refrigerant from the compressor sump.
•Optional Service Valves - Verify that the discharge
service valve, suction service valve, and liquid line
service valve is fully open on each circuit.
Note: High Efficiency units come standard with disc harge
and liquid line service valves.
•Check the supply fan belts for proper tension and the
fan bearings for sufficient lubrication. If the belts
require adjustment, or if the bearings need lubricati ng,
refer to the Maintenance section of this manual for
instructions.
•Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris and
install all panels in preparation for starting the unit.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the pow er can not be
inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power
before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
•Open the disconnect switch or circuit protector switch
that provides the supply power to the unit's power
terminal block or to the unit mounted disconnect
switch.
•To be consistent with the compresso r leads, connect
the phase sequence indicator leads to the terminal
block or unit mounted disconnect switch as follows;
Table 36. Phase sequence leads
Phase Sequence Leads Unit Power Terminal
Red (phase A)L1
Blue (phase B)L2
Black (Phase C)L3
•Turn the “System” selection switch to the “Off”
position and the “Fan” selection switc h (if Applicable)
to the “Auto” position.
•Close the disconnect switch or circuit protector switc h
that provides the supply power to the unit's power
terminal block or unit mounted disconnect switch.
WARNING
Live Electrical Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and
troubleshooting of this product, it may be necessary to
work with live electrical components. Have a qualified
licensed electrician or other individual who has been
properly trained in handling live electrical components
perform these tasks. F ailure t o follow all electr ical safety
precautions when exposed to live electrical
components could result in death or serious injury.
Electrical Phasing
Unlike traditional reciprocating compressors, scroll
compressors are phase sensitive. Proper phasing of the
electrical supply to the unit is critical for proper operation
and reliability.
The compressor motor is internally connected for
clockwise rotation with the incoming power supply
phased as A, B, C. Proper electrical supply phasing can be
quickly determined and corrected before starting the unit
by using an instrument such as an Ideal - Sperry 61-520
Phase Sequence Indicator and following the steps below:
62 RT-SVX34H-EN
HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT AT TERMINAL BLOCK HTB1
OR UNIT DISCONNECT SWITCH.
•Observe the ABC and CBA phase indicator lights on the
face of the sequencer. The ABC indicator light will glow
if the phase is ABC. If the CBA indicator light glows,
open the disconnect switc h or circuit protection switc h
and reverse any two power wires.
•Restore main electrical power and rec h eck phasing. If
the phasing is correct, open the disconnect switch or
circuit protection switch and remove the phase
sequence indicator.
Electrical power to the unit must meet stringent
requirements for the unit to operate properly. Measure
each leg (phase-to-phase) of the power supply. Each
reading must fall within the utilization range stamped on
the unit nameplate. If any of the readings do not fall within
the proper tolerances, notify the power company to
correct this situation before operating the unit.
Voltage Imbalance
Excessive voltage imbalance between phases in a three
phase system will cause motors to overheat and
eventually fail. The maximum allowable voltage
imbalance is 2%. Measure and record the voltage between
phases 1, 2, and 3 and calculate the amount of imbalance
as follows:
% Voltage Imbalance = where;
AV (Average Voltag e) =
Volt 1, Volt 2, Volt 3 = Line Voltage Readings
VD = Line Voltage reading that deviates the far thest f rom
the average voltage.
Example:
If the voltage readings o f the supply power measured 221,
230, and 227, the average volts would be:
VD (reading farthest from average) = 221
The percentage of Imbalance equals:
The 2.2% imbalance in this example exceeds the
maximum allowable i mb alance of 2.0%. This much
imbalance between phases can equal as much as a 20%
current imbalance with a resulting increase in motor
winding temperatures that will decrease motor life.
If the voltage imbalance at the job site is over 2%, notify the
proper agencies to correct the voltage problem to within
2.0% before operating this equipment.
Starting the Unit
Before closing the main power disconnect switch, insure
that the “System” selection switch is in the “Off” position
and the “Fan” selection switc h for Constant V olume or SZ
VAV units is in the “Auto” position.
Close the main power disconnect switch and the unit
mounted disconnect switch, if applicable.

HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT AT TERMINAL BLOCK HTB1
OR UNIT DISCONNECT SWITCH.
Upon power initialization, the RTRM performs selfdiagnostic checks to insure that all internal controls are
functional. It also checks the config uration parameters
against the components connected to the system. The LED
located on the RTRM module is turned “On” within one
second of power-up if internal operation is okay. The
economizer dampers are driven open for 5 seconds then
fully closed (if applicable).
When an economizer is installed DO NOT ENTER the TEST
mode until all calibration startup functions have been
completed. Otherwise, the economizer actuator and
power exhaust output may not function properly during
any of the test mode steps. Allow 2 minutes after unit
power up to complete economizer calibration before
entering the test mode function.
Use the following “Test” procedure to bypass some time
delays and to start the unit at the control panel. Each step
of unit operation can be activated individually by
temporarily shorting across the “T est” terminals for two to
three seconds. The LED located on the RTRM module will
blink when the test mode has been initiated. The unit can
be left in any “Test” step for up to one hour before it will
automatically terminate, or it can be terminated by
opening the main power disconnect switc h. Once the test
mode has been terminated, the LED will glow
continuously and the unit will revert to the “System”
control, i.e. zone temperature for constant volume un its or
discharge air temperature for variable air volume units.
Test Modes
There are three methods in which the “Test” mode can be
cycled at LTB1-Test 1 and LTB1-Test 2.
1. Step Test Mode - This method initiates the different
components of the unit, one at a time, by temporarily
shorting across the two test terminals for two to three
seconds.
For the initial startup of either a Constant Volume or
Variable Air Volume (Single Zone or Traditional) unit,
this method allows the technician to cycle a
component “ on” and have up to on e hour to complete
the check.
2. Resistance Test Mode - This method can be used for
startup providing a decade bo x for variable resistance
RT-SVX34H-EN63
Startup
outputs is available. This method initiates the different
components of the unit, one at a time, when a specific
resistance value is placed across the two test
terminals. The unit will remain in the specific test mode
for approximately one hour even though the
resistance is left on the test terminals.
3. Auto Test Mode - This method is not recommended for
startup due to the short timing between individual
component steps. This method initiates the different
components of the unit, one at a time, when a jumper
is installed across the test terminals. The unit will start
the first test step and change to the next step every 30
seconds. At the end of the test mode, control of the unit
will automatically revert to the applied “System”
control method.
For Constant Vo lume or Variable Air Volume test steps, test
modes, and step resistance values to cycle the various
components, refer toTable 38, p. 65 - Table 43, p. 67.
Service Test Switch Location
A toggle service switch has been offered as a standard
option to provide hassle free startup option for the service
person in the field. This toggle switch is located in the low
voltage section of the control box.

The following pr ocedur e inv olv es wor kin g with live and
exposed rotating components. Have a qualified or
licensed service individual who has been properly
trained in handling exposed rotating components,
perform these tasks. Failure to follow all safety
precautions could result in rotating components
cutting and slashing te chnician which could result in
death or serious injury.
Using Table 38, p. 65 to Table 43, p. 67 as a reference,
momentarily jump across the test terminals to start the
Minimum Ventilation Test.
The Exhaust Fan will start anytime the economiz er damper
position is equal to or greater than the exhaust fan
setpoint.
The economizer will drive to the minimum position
setpoint, exhaust fans may start at random, and the supply
fan will start.
Once the supply fan has started, c hec k for proper rotation.
The direction of rotation is indicated by an arrow on the fan
housing.
If the fan is rotating backwards, open the main power
disconnect switch upstream of the unit terminal block or
the unit factory mounted disconnect switch.
Verifying Proper Air Flow (CFM) -
CV or VFD's
1 . All systems - Set the minimum position set ting for the
economizer to 0º using the setpoint potentiometer
located on the Economizer Actuator in the return
section with the supply fan “On” and rotating in the
proper direction:
CV applications - Measure the amperage at the supply
fan contactor and compare it with the full load amp
(FLA) rating stamped on the motor nameplate.
VFD's - With the O/A dampers fully closed, read the
amperage displayed on the VFD screen and compare it
to the motor nameplate.
Note: On VA V applications, the VFD will be under co ntrol
of the discharge Static Pressure setpoint for the
first six minutes of this test mode. Verify that the
VFD output is at 60 Hz before measuring the fan
motor amps.
If the actual amperage exceeds the nameplate value,
static pressure is less than design and air flow is too
high. If the actual amperage is below the nameplate
value, static pressure is greater than design and air
flow is too low.
2. To determine the actual CFM (within + 5%), plot the
fan's operating RPM and the Theoretical BHP onto the
appropriate Fan Performance Curve in
and Figure 49, p. 69.
Theoretical BHP Formula:

WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects before servicing . Follow proper lock out/
tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be
inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power
before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
Interchange any two of the field connected power wires at
the unit terminal block or factory mounted disconnect
switch.
Note: Interchanging “Load” side power wires at the
supply fan contactor will only affect the Fan
Rotation. Ensure that the voltage phase sequence
at the main unit terminal bloc k or the unit mounted
disconnect switc h is ABC as outlin ed in “Electrical
Phasing,” p. 62.
Where the two points intersect, read straight down to the

Exhaust Fan Operation
To start the optional power exhaust fans, use the
economizer test procedures in Table 38, p. 65 - Table 43,
p. 67 to drive the economizer dampers to the open
position. The exhaust fans will start when the damper
position is equal to or greater than the exhaust fan
setpoint. If optional power exhaust is selected, an access
door must be field-installed on the horizontal return
ductwork to provide access to exhaust fan motors.
The exhaust fan will start anytime the economizer damper
position is equal to or greater than the exhaust fan
setpoint.
WARNING
Rotating Components!
The following pr ocedure involves working with live and
exposed rotating components. Have a qualified or
licensed service individual who has been properly
trained in handling exposed rotating components,
perform these tasks. Failure to follow all safety
precautions could result in rotating components
cutting and slashing technician which could result in
death or serious injury.
V erify that the fans are oper ating properly and the CFM is
within the job specifications. Refer to power exhaust fan
performance tables beginning with Table 50, p. 76 for the
exhaust fan performance characteristics.
Available power adjustments:
1. The power exhaust fan(s) comes on based on the
position of the of the exhaust fan setpoint
potentiometer on the RTOM (R eliatel Options Module).
The setpoint is factory set at 25%. The exhaust fan(s)
will come on anytime the economizer damper po sition
is equal to or greater than the active exhaust fan
setpoint.
2. Physical damper blade stops limit the amount of
exhaust airflow by limiting the maximum opening of
the damper blades. These stops (sliding brackets
secured with wing-nuts) are present under the rain
hood on the non-modulating power exhaust option.
There is one stop on each side of each damper. The
practical range of blade position control is between
1 .5" and 4.0" blade opening. The dam per is wide-open
at 4.0". The stops on each side of a damper must be in
the same position, such that the damper blade
connecting member contacts the stops at the same
time.
3. The modulating power exhaust actuator tracks the
position of the economizer damper actuator such that
the power exhaust dampers proportionally follow or
track the fresh air damper position.
4. When the Statitrac option is selected, the exhaust
actuator will operate independently of the economiz er
in order to relieve positive building pressure. If a Space
Pressure T ransducer failure occurs, the unit will rever t
back to fresh air tracking control.
5. The proportional offset between the dampers is
adjustable. The adjustment is made under the rain
hood by hole position selection on the power exhaust
actuator jack shaft on the damper linkage arm
Figure 52, p. 76). With direct-drive ultra-low-leak
(
exhaust options, actuator stroke can be adjusted as
described in “Economizer Damper Ad justment,” p. 77.
The stroke limit can be set between 33% and 100% of
full stroke.

Economizer Damper Adjustment
Economizer (O/A) Dampers
Arbitrarily adjusting the outside air dampers to open fully
when the return air dampers are fully closed can overload
the supply fan motor or deliver higher CFM to the space
than designed. This causes higher operating duct static
pressures and over pressurization of the space when the
unit is operating in the “economizer” mode.
The purpose of adjusting the amount of O/A damper travel
is to maintain a balance or equal pressure between the
O/A dampers and the pressure drop of the return air
system. For models with standard or low-leak
economizers, the O/A and R/A damper linkage is attached
to a plate with a series of holes that allows the installer or
operator to modify the O/A damper travel to compensate
for various RA duct losses. Figure 57, p. 77 illustrates the
damper assembly and Table 54, p. 78 through Table 57,
p. 78 list the various damper positions based on the air
flow (CFM) and the return duct losses (static pressure) for
Downflow and Horizontal units.
To adjust the O/A damper for the correct pressure drop:
1. Measure the return duct static pressure.
2. Enter the calculated CFM from the previous section
“V erifying Proper Air flow”
return air damper pressure drop.
3. Add the measured return duct static pressure and the
return air damper pressu re drop together to obtain the
T otal Return Static P ressure. Apply this calculation and
the calculated CFM to the appropriate
through Table 57, p. 78.
4. Set the drive rod swivel to the appropriate hole
according to
The units are shipped using hole “A ” with no reference
to any specific operating condition.
The installer can adjust the stroke of the direct drive
actuator on the O/A damper to compensate for various R/
A duct losses. Figure 59, p. 79 and Figure 60, p. 79
illustrate the damper & actuator assembly and Table 58,
p. 80 through Table 61, p. 80 list the various O/A actuator
limit positions based on the air flow (CFM) and the return
duct losses (static pressure) for Downflow and Horizontal
units. The actuator stroke limit can be adjusted between
33% and 100% of full stroke. T o adjust the O/A damper for
the correct pressure drop:
1. Measure the return duct static pressure.
2. Enter the calculated CFM from the previous section
“Verifying P roper Air Flow (CFM) - CV or VFD's,” p. 68
to obtain the return air damper pressure drop.
3. Add the measured return duct static pressure and the
return air damper pressure drop together to obtain the
T otal Return Static P ressure. Apply this calculation and
the calculated CFM to the appropriate
through Table 61, p. 80.
4. To set the actuator stroke limit:
a. Loosen the screw that secures the angle of rotation
limiter on the actuator adjacent to the damper drive
shaft clamp.
b. Move the limiter to the desired % open position
and, making sure the limiter teeth are engaged,
retighten the screw. (See Figure 58, p. 79).
5. After setting the end stop, the actuator needs to be
cycled through its auto-adapt feature to re-scale the
control range. With 24 VAC power applied to the
actuator, turn the control signal reversing switch
forward and back again two times. Within a few
seconds, the actuator will cycle itself to the new limiter
position and then back to zero. This process may take
up to 5 minutes. The actuator will then be set to
respond to the 2-10 VDC control signal to cycle within
the new range of rotation set by the limiter. Verify that
the control signal reversing switch is set back to its
original default position - Y = 0 - same direction as
spring return. (See
Figure 61, p. 79).

WARNING
Live Electrical Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and
troubleshooting of this product, it may be necessary to
work with live electrical components. Have a qualified
licensed electrician or other individual who has been
properly trained in handling live electrical components
perform these tasks. F ailure t o follo w all electrical safety
precautions when exposed to live electrical
components could result in death or serious injury.

or three consecutive times for a variable air volume
application, to start the Minimum Ventilation Test.
6. With the supply fan “On” and rotating in the proper
direction, measure the return duct static pressure.
7.U s i n g Table 62, p. 81, enter the desired amount of
fresh air and the return air static pressure reading to
obtain the proper damper opening dimension.
8. Loosen the adjustment screws on each side of the
damper and slide it downward to the required opening.
9. Tighten the adjustment screws and re-install the mist
eliminators and the mist eliminator retainer bracket.
10. Open the main power disconnect or the unit mounted
disconnect switch to shut the unit off and to reset the
RTRM.
11. Before closing the disconnect switch, ensure that the
compressor discharge service valve(s), suction service
valve(s), and liquid line service valve(s) are
backseated.
HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT AT TERMINAL BLOCK
HTB1 OR UNIT DISCONNECT SWITCH.
3. Remove the mist eliminator retainer bracket and the
mist eliminators from the fresh air hood.
4. Remove the five (5) screws in the top and bottom of
each fresh air damper located inside the hood area.
5. Using the Service Test guide in Table 38, p. 65 -
Optional service valves must be fully opened before
startup (suction, discharge, liquid line and oil line).
Note: Service valves are standard on high efficiency
units.
NOTICE:
Compressors Failure!
Unit must be powered and crankcase heat ers energiz ed
at least 8 hours BEFORE compressors are started. This
will protect the compressors from premature failure.
Starting 27.5 to 35 Ton Standard Efficiency
Units
Install a set of service gauges onto the suction and
discharge service por ts. T o start the compressor test, close
the main power disconnect switch or the unit mounted
disconnect switch.
Jump across the “Test terminals” on LTB1 or toggle the
test switch three consecutive times if it is a constant
volume application, or five times if it is a variable air
volume application for two to three seconds per jump.
Refer to Table 38, p. 65 - Table 43, p. 67 for the Cooling T est
sequence.
Important: The compressors are protected from
reverse rotation caused by improper
sequencing of the customer supplied unit
power wires by the unit phase monitor . It is
imperative to verify correct sequencing of
compressor power wires to prevent
compressor failure from reverse rotation.
Refer to the unit wiring schematic and/or
wire color markers vs. the compressor
terminal block color markers.
Figure 62. Compressor terminal block color markers
If a scroll compressor is rotating backwards, it will not
pump and a loud rattling sound can be observed. If
allowed to run backward for even a very short period of
time, internal compressor damage may occur and
compressor life may be reduced. If allowed to run
backwards for an extended period of time, the compresso r
will likely fail or the motor windings will overheat and
cause the motor winding thermostats to open. The
opening of the motor winding thermostat will cause a
“compressor trip” diagnostic and stop the compressor.
Starting 40 to 50 Ton Standard Efficiency
Units
Install a set of service gauges onto the sucti on and
discharge service ports of each circuit. Follow the same
procedures as above to start the first stage of compressor
operation.
After the compressor and the condenser fans have been
operating for approximately 30 minutes, use Table 71,
p. 85 through Table 89, p. 94 to determine the proper
operating pressures for that circuit.
Jump across the “Test Terminals” once again. This will
allow the second stage compressors to start. The first
stage compressor will shut off providing the 3 minute
“On” time has elapsed.
Note: When the second refrigerant circuit is requested to
operate, both compressors of the 50 ton unit will
run simultaneously. Verify that the compressors
are rotating in the correct direction.
Observe the operation of the compressor(s) and the
system operating pressures. After compressors and
condenser fans for the circuit have been operating for
approximately 30 minutes, use Table 74, p. 86 through
Table 89, p. 94 to determine the proper operating
pressures. For subcooling guidel ines, refer to “Measuring
Subcooling,” p. 97.
Units with Lead/Lag function disabled, jump across the
“T est T erminals” once again. This will allow the third stage
of cooling (number one circuit) to start providing the 3
minute “Off” time has been satisfied.
Starting 27.5-50 Ton High Efficiency Units
Install a set of service gauges onto the sucti on and
discharge service ports of each circuit. Jump across the
"Test Terminals" on LTB1 or toggle the test switch three
consecutive times if it is a constant volume application, or
five times if it is a variable air volume application for two
to three seconds per jump in order to get to coolin g stage 1.
Jump across the "Test Terminals" two more times for full
load cooling. After the compressor and the condens er fans
have been operating for approximately 30 minutes, use
Figure 71, p. 85 through Figure 89, p. 94 to determine the
proper operating pressures for that circuit.
For subcooling guidelines, refer to “Measuring
Subcooling,” p. 97.

Compressor Oil
Once all of the compressors have been started, verify that
the oil level is visible through the sight glass or above the
sight glass. Use appropriate lighting (flash light) to verify
the presence of oil. A tandem manifold set may have
different oil heights, but still must be visible in the sight
glass or above the sight glass.
After shutting the compressors off, check the oil’s
appearance. Discoloration of the oil indicates that an
abnormal condition has occurred. If the oil is dark,
overheating may have occurred. Potential causes of
overheating: compressor is operating at extremely high
condensing temperatures; high superheat; a compressor
mechanical failure; or, occurrence of a motor burnout. If
the oil is black and contains metal flakes, a mechanical
failure has occurred. This symptom is of ten accompanied
by a high compressor amperage draw.
Refer to the refrigeration system in the maintenance
section for details on testing and replacing oil.

Scroll Compressor Operational Noises
Because the scroll compressor is designed to
accommodate liquids (both oil and refrigerant) and solid
particles without causing compressor damage, there are
some characteristic sounds that dif ferentiate it from those
typically associated with a reciprocating compressor.
These sounds (which are described below) are
characteristic, and do not affect the operation or reliability
of the compressor.
At Shutdown
When a Scroll compressor shuts down, the gas within the
scroll compressor expands and causes momentary
reverse rotation until the discharge check valve closes.
This results in a “flutter” type sound.
At Low Ambient Startup
When the compressor starts up under low ambient
conditions, the initial flow rate of the compressor is low
due to the low condensing pressure. This causes a low
differential across the thermal expansion valve that limits
its capacity. Under these conditions, it is not unusual to
hear the compressor rattle until the suction pressure
climbs and the flow rate increases.
During Normal Operation
The scroll compressor emits a higher frequency tone
(sound) than a reciprocating compressor.
Compressor Crankcase Heaters
Each compressor is equipped with a crankcase heater.
When the compressor is “Off”, the crankcase heater is
energized. When the compressor is “On”, the crankcase
heater is de-energized. The proper operation of the
crankcase heater is important to maintain an elevated
compressor oil temperature during the “Off” cycle whic h
reduces the potential for refrigerant to migrate into the
compressor oil.
If present during a compressor start, liquid refrigerant
could damage compressor bearings due to reduced
lubrication and eventually could cause compressor
mechanical failures.
Prior to the initial start or when power to the unit has been
“Of f” for an extended period, allow the crankcase heater to
operate a minimum of 8 hours before starting the unit.
Charging by Subcooling
The unit is shipped with a complete refrigerant charge.
However, if it becomes necessary to add refrigerant, it
should be done so by adding charge to obtain an
acceptable subcooling as described below. Refer to the
maintenance section for proper refrigerant charging
practices.
The outdoor ambient temperature must be between 65°
and 105° F and the relative humidity of the air entering the
evaporator must be above 40 percent. When the
temperatures are outside of these ranges, measurin g the
operating pressures can be meaningless.
With the unit operating at “Full Circui t Cap acity ”,
acceptable subcooling ranges between 14° F to 22° F.
Measuring Subcooling
WARNING
R-41 0A Refr iger ant under Higher Pressur e
than R-22!
The units described in this manual use R-410A
refrigerant which operates at higher pressures than R22 refrigerant. Use ONLY R-410A rated service
equipment or components with these units. For
specific handling concerns with R-410A, please contact
your local Trane representative.
Failure to use R-410A rated service equipment or
components could result in equipment exploding under
R-410A high pressures which could result in death,
serious injury, or equipment damage.
1 . At the liquid line service valve, measure the liquid line
pressure. Using a Refrigerant R-410A pressure/
temperature chart, convert the pressure reading into
the corresponding saturated temperature.
2. Measure the actual liquid line temperature as close to
the liquid line service valve as possible. To ensure an
accurate reading, clean the line t horoughly wher e the
temperature sensor will be attached. Af ter securing the
sensor to the line, insulate the sensor and line to isolate
it from the ambient air.
Note: Glass thermometers do not have sufficient contact
area to give an accurate reading.
3. Determine the system subc ooling by subtracting the
actual liquid line temperature (measured in step 2)
from the saturated liquid temperature (converted in
step 1).
Gas Heat Units
Open the main disconnect switch to shut the unit off and
to reset the RTRM.
Follow the T est Guide in Table 38, p . 65 - Table 43, p. 67 to
start the unit in the heating mode. Jumping the “Test”
terminals several times for two to three seconds will be
required.
When starting the unit for the first time or servicing the
heaters, it is a good practice to start the heater with the
main gas supply turned “Off”.
All heating units have either two stage or modulating heat
capabilities. The “High” heat models contain two heat
exchangers. In staged units, the heat exchangers operate
simultaneously at either the low or high fire state. In
modulating units, the modulating furnace fires first and
adjusts to the needed capacity. If more heat is required
RT-SVX34H-EN97
Startup
than the modulating can provide, the second bank is fired
at full fire and the modulating bank again adjusts to the
heating load present.
Check both igniti on systems (if appl icable) when going
through the test procedures.
Once the ignition system and ign itors have been c hec ked,
open the main power disconnect switch to reset the R TRM.
WARNING
Hazardous Gases and Flammable Vapors!
Exposure to hazardous gases from fuel substances have
been shown to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Improper installati on, adjustment,
alteration, service or use of this product could cause
flammable mixtures and result in a fire. To avoid
hazardous gases and flammable vapors follow proper
installation and set up of this product and all warnings
as provided in this manual. Failure to follow all
instructions could result in death or serious injury.
Turn the main gas supply to the unit “On” and check the
gas pressure at the unit's gas train. Refer to “Installation
Piping,” p. 38 for the proper gas supply pressure and
Figure 34, p. 39 for the location of the gas pressure taps.
Close the main power disconnect switc h and start the first
stage heating Test again. Wait approx ima tel y 60 secon ds
for the heater to switch to low fire and c heck the manifold
gas pressure. The manifold pressure for a two stage
burner must be set at negative 0.2" w.c., +/- 0.05" w.c. The
manifold pressure on a modulating burner should be set
at a positive 0.5" w.c., +/-0.05” w.c. For modulating
burners, expect to see the manifold pressure reading
fluctuate while the burner is operating, but it should never
read negative.
WARNING
Hot Surfaces!
Surface temperat ur es may ex ceed 300°F (150°C) on flue
and heat exchanger components. Contact of bare skin
on hot surfaces could result in minor to severe burns.
Jump the test terminals momentarily to initiate second
stage heat operation. The combustion blower motor
should go to high speed. The second stage of heat in un its
with modulating gas will initiate the second heater bank to
fire and both banks will operate at high fire. The mani fold
pressures of the two heater banks in a high heat
modulating unit will be different. The pressure setting of
the two stage burner will be a negative 0.2" w.c., while the
modulating burner will be a positive 0.05" w.c.
Note: When firing a modulating unit for the first time, a
“humming”, or resonance sound may be heard.
This is an operational sound made by the burner
screen as it burns in. This sound is not a concern
unless it persists longer than the first few times the
unit is fired.
Electric Heat Units
Start the service test and check the amperage draw for
each heat ing stag e. Refer to the heater electrical data in
Table 8, p. 28 (60 Hz) and Table 11, p. 29 (50 Hz) for the full
load amps of a specific heater size.
Once the operation of the heaters have been checked,
open the main power disconnect switch or the unit
mounted disconnect switch to shut the unit “Off” and to
reset the RTRM.
This concludes the setup and testing for the major
components and controls within the unit. Fo llow the Test
guide in Table 38, p. 65 - Table 43, p. 67 to verify that the
optional VFD, economizer actuator, and minimum
ventilation controls are functioning.
Final Unit Checkout
After completing all of the checkout and startup
procedures outlined in the previous sections (i.e.,
operating the unit in each of its modes through all
available stages of cooling and heating), perform these
final checks before leaving the unit:
•Verify that the R TRM is in the normal operation mode.
