Acoustic Considerations
Before determining the final unit
installation site, remember that proper
unit placement is critical in reducing
transmitting sound levels to the building.
The ideal time to make provisions to
reduce sound transmissions is during the
design phase. The most economical
means of avoiding a potential acoustical
problem is to place units in areas that are
not acoustically sensitive. Ideal locations
are over over corridors, utility rooms,
toilets, or other areas where higher
sounds levels below the unit may be
acceptable.
Follow these basic guidelines to help
minimize sound transmission through the
building structure:
• Locate the unit’s center of gravity close
to or over a column or main support
beam.
• If the roof structure is very light, replace
roof joists using a structural shape in
the critical areas described above.
Note: Cut applicable holes only for the
supply, exhaust, and return duct penetration in the roof deck. To maintain
roof integrity and prevent possible
property damage, do not remove the
roof decking from the inside perimeter of
the curb.
considerations
Installation Preparation
Before installing the unit, perform the
following procedures to ensure proper
unit operation.
1. Verify the roof curb is level. To ensure
proper unit operation, install the unit
level (zero tolerance) in both horizontal
axes. Failure to level the unit properly
can result in condensate management
problems, such as standing water
inside the unit. Standing water and wet
surfaces inside units can result in
microbial growth (mold) in the drain
pan that may cause unpleasant odors
and serious health-related indoor air
quality problem.
2. Allow adequate service and code
clearances as recommended in
“Service Access” section on page 10.
3. Position the unit and skid assembly in
its final location. Test lift the unit to
determine exact unit balance and
stability before hoisting it to the
installation location. See Figure I-IP-2 on
page 41 for typical rigging procedures,
including cautions and proper uses of
such equipment as fork lifts, spreader
bars, and hooks.

When attaching ductwork to a horizontal
discharge unit, provide a watertight
flexible connector at the unit to prevent
noise transmission from the unit into the
ductwork. Refer to the Dimensions and
Weights section on pages 13–23 for the
supply air and return air opening
dimensions. All outdoor ductwork
between the unit and the structure should
be weather proofed after installation is
complete.
WARNING!
Hazardous voltage!
Disconnect electrical power source
and remote disconnects before
servicing unit. Failure to do so may
cause death or injury.
WARNING!
Disconnect gas supply!
Before servicing unit, FIRST turn off
the gas supply. Failure to turn off the
gas supply can cause death or serious
injury.
Ductwork Considerations
Install all air ducts according to the
National Fire Protection Association
standards for the “Installation of Air
Conditioning and Ventilation Systems
other than Residence Type (NFPA 90A)
and Residence Type Warm Air Heating
and Air Conditioning Systems (NFPA
90B).
Make duct connections to the curb with a
flexible material such as heavy canvas. If
a fire hazard exists, Trane recommends
using Flexweave 1000, type FW30 or
equivalent canvas. Use three inches for
the return duct and three inches for the
discharge duct. Keep the material loose
to absorb unit vibration.
Run the ductwork as far as possible
without changing size or direction. Do not
make abrupt turns or transitions near the
unit due to increased noise and excessive
Installation
static losses. Use elbows with splitters or
turning vanes to minimize static losses.
Poorly constructed turning vanes may
cause airflow generated noise. Check
total external static pressures against fan
characteristics to be sure the required
airflow is available throughout the
ductwork.
Gas Pipe Sizing
Follow the procedure below to size the
gas piping to adequately provide gas
pressure at the gas heater.
1. Find the cu ft/hr by using the formula:
cu ft/hr = Btu/cu ft.
2. Refer to Table I-MR-1. Match “Pipe Run
in Feet” with appropriate “Gas Input Cu Ft/hr” figure. Match this figure to the
pipe size at the top of the column. For
example, requires 67 ft (20.4m) run of
gas pipe to connect a 200 MBh gas duct
furnace to a 1,000 Btu/cu ft (0.29) kW)
natural gas supply.
200,000 Btu/cu ft
1,000 Btu/cu ft = 200 cu ft/hr
Using Table I-MR-1, a 1” pipe is needed.

Gas Pipe Installation Procedure
1. Install the gas piping in accordance with
applicable local codes.
2. Check gas supply pressure. Each gas
heater must be connected to a gas
supply capable of supplying its full rated

Condensate Drain Trapping
A fresh air unit is selected for its
dehumidifying capability. As such,
condensate can be formed at an
enormous rate. The Packaged Fresh Air
Unit, drain pan and condensate line have
been sized and designed accordingly. An
often-overlooked element of proper
condensate drainage is trapping. An
incorrectly designed and installed trap on
the piping exiting the drain pan can
restrict the flow of condensate or cause
‘‘spitting’’ or “geysering” of the
condensate water which can dampen the
interior insulation of the air handler and/
or ductwork, creating an opportunity for
mold infestation. The HVAC equipment
manufacturer’s installation and trapping
instructions must be carefully followed to
assure adequate condensate removal
under all operating conditions. Figure IMR-2 shows the proper design for a ptrap design, in an air handler with a drawthrough coil arrangement.

Power Wire Sizing and
Protection Device Equations
Each type of unit has its own set of
calculations for MCA (minimum circuit
ampacity) and MOP (maximum
overcurrent protection. For units with
multiple modes of operation, you must
consider each individual field-wired
hazardous voltage circuit. Use the load
that provides the highest value in the
applicable circuit. To correctly size the
unit’s electrical service wiring, read the
load definitions that follow and then find
the appropriate set of calculations
based on your unit type.
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 = current of electric heaters
Load 4 = control power transformer
= any other load rated at one amp or
more (gas heat, factory-wired
convenience outlet)
Single-Source Power
Set #1: Cooling only units and cooling
with gas heat, single source power
MCA = (1.25 x load 1) + load 2 + load 4
MOP = (2.25 x load 1) + load 2 + load 4
Select an overcurrent protective device
rating equal to the MOP value. If the
MOP value does not equal a standard
device size as listed in NEC 240-6, select
the next lower standard device rating. If
the selected MOP is less than the MCA,
then reselect the lowest standard
maximum overcurrent protective
device size that is equal to or larger than
the MCA, provided the reselected
device size does not exceed 800 amps.
Disconnect Switch Sizing (DSS) – if field
provided and installed
If the unit has a factory-installed, nonfused disconnect switch, this sizing
equation is not necessary. If the
disconnect is field-provided and
installed, use the following equation to
determine its rating:
DSS = 1.15 x (load 1 + load 2 + load 4)
Select a disconnect switch (DSS) size
equal to or larger than the DSS value
calculated.
Set #2: Units with electric heat, single
source power, non-concurrent load
To arrive at the correct MCA and MOP
values, you must perform two sets of
calculations: one for cooling only (set #1)
and one for electric heat only (set #2).
Calculate the MCA and MOP values as if
the unit were in the cooling mode (use
the equations given in set #1). Then
repeat the calculations for MCA and
MOP for the unit in the heating mode
using set #2. When determining loads,
keep in mind that the compressors and
condenser fans do not run while the unit
is in the heating mode.
For units using heaters:
• less than 50 kW,
use the formula, MCA = 1.25 x (load 1
+ load 2 + load 4) + (1.25 x load 3)
• equal to or greater than 50 kW,
use the formula, MCA = 1.25 x (load 1
+ load 2 + load 4) + load 3
Select the nameplate MCA value that is
the larger of the cooling (set #1) or the
heating mode MCA calculated above.
MOP = (2.25 x load 1) + load 2 + load 3 +
load 4
Select an overcurrent protective device
rating equal to the MOP value. If the
MOP value does not equal a standard
device size as listed in NEC 240-6, select
the next lower standard device rating. If
the next lower standard rating is less
than 125% of the current rating of the
electric heater load, select the next
higher standard device rating. If the
selected MOP is less than the MCA, then
reselect the lowest standard device size
which is equal to or larger than the
MCA, provided the reselected device
size does not exceed 800 amps.
Select the MOP value that is the larger
of the cooling (set #1) mode MOP value
or the heating MOP value calculated
above.
Disconnect Switch Sizing (DSS) – if field
provided and installed
If the unit is ordered with a factoryinstalled non-fused disconnect switch,
this sizing equation is not necessary. If
the disconnect is to be field-provided
and installed, use the following equation
to determine its rating:
DSS = 1.15 x (load 1 + load 2 + load 3 +
load 4)
Select the DSS value that is the larger of
the cooling (set #1) mode DSS or the
heating mode DSS value calculated
above. Select a disconnect switch size
equal to or greater than the DSS value
calculated.
Set #3: Units with electric heat, single
source power, concurrent load
Concurrent load = two compressors and
first stage electric heat
Primary Heat Reheat Selection
You may enable primary heat reheat to
take advantage of the primary heat
source as supplemental reheat for the
condenser reheat. Although in most
cases, the MCA and MOP values are
unaffected by the concurrent loads of
compressors, condenser fans, and first
stage of electric heat, there are a few
circumstances where the MCA and MOP
are increased when this sequence is
employed.
You must perform three sets of calculations to obtain the correct MCA and MOP
values: one for cooling (set #1) only, one
for electric heat (set #2) only, and one for
when the unit is in the cooling mode with
compressors and electric heat on
concurrently (set #3).
For size 031 and 040 units, compressors
A (1K1) and B (1K2) can run concurrently
1
/3 of three-stage electric heat or 1/7
with
of seven-stage electric heat.
For size 051 and 066 size units, compressors A (1K1) and D (1K4) can run
concurrently with
electric heat or
heat.
For units using heaters less than 50 kW:
MCA = (1.25 x load 1) + load 2 + load 4 +
(1.25 x load 3)
For unit using heaters equal to or greater
than 50 kW:
MCA = (1.25 X load 1) + load 2 + load 3 +
load 4
Select the nameplate MCA value that is
the largest of the three sets of MCA
calculations.
MOP = (2.25 x load 1) + load 2 + load 3 +

rating equal to the MOP value. If the MOP
value does not equal a standard device
size as listed in NEC 240-6, select the
next lower standard device rating. If the
next lower standard rating is less than
125% of the current rating of the electric
heater load, select the next higher
standard device rating. If the selected
MOP is less than the MCA, then reselect
the lowest standard device size which is
equal to or larger than the MCA, provided the reselected device size does not
exceed 800 amps.
The MOP value selected should be the
largest of the three sets of MOP value
calculations.
Disconnect Switch Sizing (DSS) – if field
provided and installed
If the unit is ordered with a factoryinstalled non-fused disconnect switch,
this sizing equation is not necessary. If
the disconnect is to be field-provided and
installed, use the following equation to
determine its rating:
DSS = 1.15 x (load 1 + load 2 + load 3 +
load 4)
Select the DSS that is the largest of the
three sets of DSS calculations. Select a
disconnect switch size equal to or greater
than the DSS value calculated.
Set #4: Units with Electric Heat, Dual
Source Power
Dual source power is required only on
some 208V and 230V units when
provided with electric heat. Those units
are:
sizevoltageelec ht kW
031208V or 230V42 kW or

Dual Source Power
For units with dual source power, use
two different sets or MCA and MOP
calculations, one for each power
connection. MCA1 and MOP1 represent
the values calculated for the operation of
the compressors and condenser fans.
requirements
For the calculations of MCA1 and MOP1,
use the instructions from set #1
previously in this section.
MCA2 and MOP2 represent the values
calculated for the operation of the unit in
heating mode:
MCA2 = (1.25 x load 3) if heater kW is
less than 50kW
or
(1.0 x load 3) if heater kW is 50kW or
greater, MOP2 = (1.25 x load 3)
Select an overcurrent protective device
rating for the heating circuit equal to the
MOP2 value. If the MOP2 value does not
equal a standard device size as listed in
NEC 240-6, select the next lower standard device rating. If the selected MOP2
is less than the MCA2, then reselect the
lowest standard device size that is equal
to or larger than the MCA2, provided the
reselected device size does not exceed
800 amps.
Disconnect Switch Sizing (DSS) – if field
provided and installed:
If the unit is ordered with a factoryinstalled non-fused disconnect switch, this
sizing equation is not necessary. If the
disconnect is to be field-provided and

Remote Human Interface
Panel Installation
Human Interface (HI) Panel
The HI enables the user to communicate
necessary unit operating parameters and
receive operating status information
from within the occupied space.
The HI displays top level information in
the LCD window, unless the operator
initiates other displays, for the various
unit functions. It also displays menu
readouts in a clear language two line, 40
character format. The 16-key keypad
allows the operator to scroll through the
various menus to set or modify the
operating parameters. See Figure I-IP-6
to reference the HI keypad.
Remote Human Interface Panel
The remote human interface (RHI) panel
is identical to the unit mounted HI with the
exception of the “unit select” key. This
key allows the operator to switch from
one unit to the next to program or view
status information regarding a particular
unit.
The RHI functions the same as the unit
mounted HI with two exceptions. The first
is the “test start” function. The operator
can view the service parameters, but can
only initiate the service test function at
the unit. The RHI door has a locking screw
to deter access by unauthorized personnel. Additionally, the RHI can control up to
four different units.
Location Recommendations
The HI microprocessor module is
mounted inside a molded plastic
enclosure for surface mounting. It is not
weatherproof. Therefore, it is only
applicable for indoor use.
Locate the RHI panel in an area that will
ensure the communication link between
the panel and the unit(s) does not exceed
5,000 feet maximum or pass between
buildings. See Table I-IP-2.
The run length of the low voltage AC
power wiring to the remote HI must not
exceed three (3) ohms/conductor. Refer
to Table I-IP-3.

Unit Startup Procedures
1. Check all electrical connections for
tightness.
2. Be sure all system components are
properly set and installed.
3. Inspect all ductwork and duct
connections.
4. Remove compressor and fan
assembly tie down bolts.
5. Verify the total energy wheel seal
doesn’t leak. See procedure below.
To start the unit, complete the following
list in order:
1. Apply power to the unit. Close the unit
disconnect switch(es).
2. Adjust setpoints at the HI.
3. Turn on the gas if unit has gas heaters
and verify all lines are purged of air.
See the
gramming Guide, FAXA-SVP01B-EN,
available unit operating setpoints. Refer
to the job specifications for proper
setpoints.
Total Energy Wheel Sealchecks
The total energy wheel has a neoprene
bulb seal to provide an effective seal in
both the peripheral and side-to-side
sealing directions. Also, it is easily
adjustable to compensate for seal run-in,
shipping misalignment, etc. The neoprene
bulb is attached to a metal reinforced Ushaped neoprene grip. The metal/
neoprene grip allows an expandable grip
range that can be moved closer or
further from the sealing face as needed.
The peripheral bulb seals against the
wheel outer band the inner bulb seals
against the wheel face.
Packaged Fresh Air Unit Pro-
for
Follow the procedure below:
1. With the wheel stopped, move seals as
close to the sealing surface as possible
but without exceeding grip range of
bulb seal and without pressing the bulb
down against the seal face.
2. Bump the motor. If the motor will not
turn, the seal is too close. Nudge it back
where needed. The seal will seek its
equilibrium position based on the
closest part of the sealing face.
Because the seal is meant to be a
noncontact seal, small gaps may be seen
between seal and sealing surface when it
reaches the equilibrium position. Seal
leakage is meant to be under 5% at oneinch of differential between supply and
exhaust. Some seal run-in is common
and will result in small amounts of wear
in the neoprene.
Unit Startup Checklist
1. Ensure all fans rotate is in the direction
of the arrow on the fan housing. If
rotation is incorrect, first verify the
incoming power phasing is correct. If it
is correct, switch wires on the fan
contact so the fan is properly phased.
2. Check the fan belt condition and
tension. Adjust the tension if belts are
floppy or squeal continually. Replace
worn or fraying belts in matched sets.
3. Check voltage at all compressor
terminals. Actual voltage should be
within 10% of nameplate voltage.
4. Check voltage imbalance from these
three voltage readings, at each
compressor. Maximum allowable
voltage imbalance, phase to phase, is
2%.
52FAXA-SVX01B-EN
general
Installation
5. Check amp draw at compressor
terminals. RLA and LRA is on the unit
nameplate.
6. Measure amp draw at evaporator and
exhaust fan motor terminals. FLA data
is on the motor nameplate.
7. After the system has stabilized (15 – 30
minutes), check and record operating
pressures and temperatures for all
circuits.
8. Check natural gas pressure and verify
no less than 5” w.c. (0.18 psi) or greater
than 14” w.c. (0.5 psi).
9. Inspect refrigerant flow in the liquid line
sight glass. Flow should be smooth and
even, with no bubbles once the system
has stabilized.
Normal startup can occur provided that
Tracer Summit is not controlling the
module outputs or the generic BAS is not
keeping the unit off.

Controls
We have designed the Trane Packaged
Fresh Air unit with the latest control
technology. Modular DDC controls with
human interface (HI) panel make
Packaged Fresh Air units flexible and
easy to operate.
Controls are Trane-designed to work with
Trane equipment for optimum efficiency.
The factory installs and commissions
each control component to ensure simple
and reliable operation.
Furthermore, the DDC control’s modular
design allows greater application
flexibility using up to twelve different
modules, dependent upon unit options.
You can order exactly what the job
requires as options, instead of one large
control package. And since unit features
are distributed among multiple printed
circuit boards, field replacement is easy.
Depending on unit options, IntelliPak™
units can operate as:
1) stand-alone
2) interface with Trane’s Tracer Summit™
building management system
3) interface with a generic (non-Trane)
building management system (via LCI-I
using LonTalk
4) interface with a generic hard-wired
(non-Trane) building management
system via analog input and binary
output interface board (GBAS)

Standard IntelliPak Unit Control Features
The human interface panel is easy to
read and requires less time for building
maintenance personnel to learn to
interact with the unit. It features a clear
language display (in English, Spanish, or
French) that shows all of the Packaged
Fresh Air unit control parameters,
including system on/off, demand limiting
type, night setback setpoints, and many
other setpoints. All adjustments are done
through the human interface keypad. See

Overview
Fresh Air Unit Functions
The Packaged Fresh Air Unit (FAU)
provides conditioned outdoor air suitable
for mechanical ventilation or make-up air.
The FAU conditions outdoor air as
necessary to meet system performance
requirements by filtration, cooling,
dehumidification, and/or heating. The FAU
may deliver ventilation air in a number of
ways. See the System Configurations
section and Figures O-GI-2 through O-GI-4
for more information.
Filtration
Filtration is necessary for the FAU to
maintain system operating efficiency, meet
occupant comfort and health needs, and
provide adequate building filtration to aid
indoor air quality. The Packaged FAU offers
a variety of filter options to meet most
application needs.
Cooling
When the outdoor air dry-bulb temperature
is warmer than space conditions, the unit
cools the outdoor air to the an appropriate
supply air dry-bulb temperature. The
Packaged FAU provides cooling using an
air-cooled, direct-expansion (DX)
refrigeration system with scroll
compressors.
Operation
3. Directly to a single space and control the
space temperature directly. For example,
this application will provide temperature
control of a hotel hallway and ventilation
of the adjacent rooms. See Figure O-GI-4.
Supply Air Temperature
Give careful consideration when selecting
the FAU supply air temperature. Many
current system designs control the fresh air
unit discharge air to a “space neutral” drybulb condition, typically about 75°F. At
some operating conditions, reheating the
FAU supply air will add cooling load to the
space, thus requiring the local terminal
units to “re-cool” the conditioned outdoor
air to meet the space setpoint. Therefore, to
help maintain lower energy costs, use
reheat only when required to maintain
occupant comfort and space relative
humidity. The Capacity Control section
discusses this issue in more detail.
Airside Economizers
Often fresh air units are sized to deliver the
minimum ventilation air required for the
space it serves. However, the ventilation air
is typically only a portion of the space
supply air. Airside economizing can provide
up to 100% of the space supply air come
from outdoors when outdoor air
conditions are suitable for “free cooling”
capability.
information
Figure O-GI-2. Direct discharge to
conditioned space
Dehumidification (Drying)
The Packaged FAU dehumidifies the
outdoor air when it is more humid than the
required space target conditions. This
helps prevent high relative humidity levels
in the space. Occasionally, the outdoor air
may need to be sub-cooled to remove
excess moisture. When necessary, the FAU
reheats discharge air to meet space
comfort conditions. The Packaged FAU
recovers energy from the cooling process
to reheat the sub-cooled air as necessary.

Heating
When the outdoor air dry-bulb temperature
is colder than space conditions require, the
FAU heats the outdoor air to meet space
temperature requirements. The Packaged
FAU has electric or gas heat options
available.
System Configurations
Dedicated outdoor air systems can deliver
conditioned outdoor air in one of the
following ways:
1. Directly to the occupied space, with the
local terminal unit controlling the space
dry-bulb temperature. See Figure O-GI-2.
2. Directly to local terminal units, which
deliver a mixture of the conditioned
outdoor air and (conditioned)
recirculated return air to the space. See
Figure O-GI-3.

It’s important to remember that airside
economizer capability can be lost if
dedicated outdoor air systems are sized
for minimum ventilation air only. To
provide economizer capability on a
dedicated outdoor air system, the terminal
units must have the ability to introduce
100% outdoor air during the economizercooling mode. The terminal unit’s outdoor
air damper should modulate between fully
closed and fully open to allow the FAU to
deliver the ventilation air design volume to
the space. The terminal unit should
enable economizing only if the outdoor
dry-bulb and dew point conditions are
sufficiently low to justify economizing.
Packaged FAU Operation
The Packaged FAU can use either DX
cooling, condenser reheat, electric or gas
heat to condition the outdoor air. The unit
controls cooling and heating capacity in
stages with the exception of the
modulated heat options. Cooling and
heating staging will result in supply air
temperature swings. The unit controls will
deliver the desired supply air conditions
on a time–based, weighted average.
FAU with Reheat
Figure O-GI-7 shows the Packaged Fresh
Air system with a DX refrigerant circuit
design using reheat.
Dehumidification
Consider Figure O-GI-5. If the outdoor air
dew point is above the drying setpoint (or
in the case of zone control, the zone RH is
above the RH setpoint), the FAU will:
• cool the outdoor air to remove required
moisture and
• reheat to meet the discharge
temperature setpoint.
At h1, 100% outdoor air enters the FAU.
The FAU filters, cools, and dehumidifies
the air as it moves through the evaporator
Operation
and reheat coils. Air leaves the evaporator
coil saturated at the preset dew point
condition (h2) and is reheated by the
reheat condenser to the preset reheat
temperature setpoint (h3). The reheat
evaporator transfers energy to the reheat
condenser. A liquid solenoid valve
effectively modulates the reheat
condenser capacity. The reheat outdoor
condenser rejects surplus heat. The
reheat evaporator circuit is first on and
last off, so reheat energy is available at full
and part load conditions. For those
conditions where the reheat condenser
capacity is insufficient to meet reheat
demand, optional electric or gas heat can
provide additional reheat capacity. Since
both the dew point setpoint and
discharge temperature setpoint are fully
adjustable, the desired supply air
conditions are maintained at all load
conditions.
Cooling or Heating
Consider Figure O-GI-6. If the outdoor air
dew point or zone RH is equal to or below
the drying setpoint, the FAU will heat or
cool the outdoor air to separate and
adjust cooling or heating setpoints. At t1
or t3, 100% outdoor air enters the FAU.
The FAU filters, and cools or heats the air
as it is drawn through the evaporators
and heating section. The air leaves the
FAU at the cooling or heating setpoint (t2
or t4) and equal to or below the dew point
setpoint.

dew point or zone RH is above the drying
setpoint, the FAU will dehumidify the
outdoor air. 100% outdoor air enters the
FAU (h1). The unit filters, cools (h2) and
dehumidifies the air as it is drawn through

Establishing Capacity
Requirements
Determining the FAU capacity
requirements requires careful thought. Airhandling equipment is typically selected
based on design sensible conditions. Since
latent loads drive the need for the FAU,
base the selection on design latent
conditions. For more detailed information
on this subject, see the
Fresh Air Unit catalog, MUA-PRC004-EN
Cooling and Dehumidification
Selection Criteria
Evaporator Design Entering Conditions
For many climates the peak outdoor air
enthalpy occurs at a time when the
outdoor dry-bulb temperature is not the
highest. Refer to the chapter on climatic
design information in the
Handbook of Fundamentals
and dehumidification design condition
data is provided three ways:
1. Design dry-bulb temperature with mean
coincident wet bulb temperature
2. Design wet-bulb temperature with mean
coincident dry-bulb temperature
3. Design dew point temperature with
mean coincident dry-bulb temperature
Trane Packaged

information
The design wet-bulb condition typically
represents a significantly higher outdoor air
enthalpy than the design dry-bulb
condition. Use the condition that
represents the highest enthalpy as the
entering evaporator selection condition.
Evaporator Design Leaving Conditions
Due to the uncertainty of the local terminal
unit’s latent capacity at part load, it is
usually most straightforward to size the
FAU to handle the entire latent load on the
system, both indoor and outdoor. With this
design approach, the terminal units may do
some latent cooling (dehumidification)
during periods of higher sensible load. At
these times, the space will run slightly drier
than the design RH limit. This is why it
makes sense to select the FAU to limit the
space RH to a maximum allowable level for
those conditions when the terminal units
are providing no space latent cooling.
ASHRAE Standards 62.1 and 55
recommend using 60% RH design limit for
comfort cooling. Using lower design limits
may result in an unnecessary increase in
system operating energy use.

sequence of
Air to Air Energy Recovery
Energy recovery can significantly
reduce HVAC system first-cost and
operating energy costs. You can use
recovered energy for two purposes:
1. to temper or reheat supply air for
independent control of sensible and
latent capacity, or
2. to precondition outdoor air as it
enters the building for ventilation.
The Packaged FAU offers refrigerant
heat recovery for reheating the supply
air. To precondition the outdoor air, use
the total energy wheel option to
recover energy from building exhaust.
Controlling an Energy Recovery
Ventilator
One way to control an energy recovery
device is to turn it on and off with the
FAU system exhaust fan. In this case,
the total energy wheel enables when
the unit is in occupied mode and the
exhaust fan is running. While this
control method is certainly simple and
effective in some applications, it may
not provide the expected energy
saving benefit, particularly when cold
Operation
air (vs. neutral air) is supplied to the
building.
Another more effective approach is to
use the outdoor air dry-bulb to determine when to energize or de-energize
the energy recovery device. See Figure
AC-7 for an example of this simplified
version of energy recovery. In addition
to being more effective from a control
standpoint, it’s also a very simple
control method because the total
energy wheel (only) enables when all of
the following are true:
• unit is in occupied mode
• exhaust fan is enabled
• outside air temperature is above the
upper limit setpoint (default setpoint
80°F) or below the lower limit setpoint
(default setpoint 45°F)
• outside air temperature is above the
frost protection setpoint (default
setpoint 12°F).
Set the upper limit setpoint to the
anticipated return air dry-bulb temperature. Set the lower limit setpoint to 10°F
less than the supply air dry-bulb
setpoint. This control strategy prevents
operation
the energy recovery device from
potentially adding to the load seen by
the cooling and/or heating system of
the unit, but rather utilizing the device
only at those times when it provides
true operating energy savings.
If using the FAU to deliver cold, dry
conditioned air to the building (outdoor
air is cooled to a low dew point but not
reheated), use the dry-bulb control
option.
Cross Leakage
All energy wheels have some cross
leakage. Therefore, do not use energy
wheels in applications involving toxic or
hazaradous air streams. The
percentage of cross leakage depends
on the pressure differentials across the
wheel section. With Trane Packaged
FAU energy wheels, the exhaust air
transfer ratios are typically low (<4%).

Morning Warmup
This feature is available on all types of
factory-installed heat units and on units
with no heat. This function may still be
selected to support systems with heat
sources not provided by the fresh air unit.
At the conclusion of unoccupied mode,
the selected zone is heated to the userdefined morning warmup setpoint. The
unit is then released to occupied mode.
There are two types of morning warmup:
full capacity or cycling capacity.
• Full capacity morning warmup (MWU)
Full capacity morning warmup uses full
heating capacity to heat the zone as
quickly as possible. Full heating capacity
is provided until the morning warmup
setpoint is met. At this point, the unit is
released to daytime mode.
• Cycling capacity morning warmup
(MWU)
Cycling capacity morning warmup
provides gradual heating to overcome
“building sink” as the zone is heated.
Normal zone temperature control with
varying capacity raises the zone
temperature to the MWU zone
temperature setpoint. Cycling capacity
MWU will operate until MWU setpoint is
reached or for 60 minutes. Then the unit
switches to occupied mode. Cooling will
suspend until building load conditions
exceed the MWU setpoint of 3°F (1.7°C),
which is field adjustable.
Ventilation Override (VOM) Option
The user can customize up to five
different override sequences for
purposes of ventilation override control. If
more than one VOM sequence is
requested, the sequence with the highest
priority initiates first. Priority schedule is
that sequence “A” (unit off) is first, with
sequence “E” (purge sequence) last.
FAXA-SVX01B-EN67
sequence of
UNIT OFF sequence “A”
When complete system shut down is
required, the following sequence is used.
• supply fan – off
• outside air dampers – closed
• heat – all stages – off, modulating heat
output at 0 vdc
• occupied/unoccupied output –
deenergized
• VO relay –energized
• exhaust fan (field-installed) – off
• exhaust damper (field-installed) – closed
PRESSURIZE sequence “B”
This override sequence is for use when a
positively pressured space is desired
instead of a negatively pressurized space.
• supply fan – on
• outside air dampers – open
• heat – all stages – off, modulating heat
output at 0 vdc
• occupied/ unoccupied output – energized
• VO relay – energized
• exhaust fan (field-installed) – Off
• exhaust damper (field-installed) – closed
EXHAUST sequence “C”
With the building’s exhaust fans running
and the unit’s supply fan off, the
conditioned space becomes negatively
pressurized. This is desirable for clearing
the area of smoke when necessary (i.e.,
from an extinguished fire, to keep smoke
out of areas that were not damaged).
• supply fan – off
• outside air dampers – closed
• heat – all stages – off, modulating heat
output at 0 vdc
• occupied/unoccupied output –
deenergized
• VO relay – energized
• exhaust fan (field-installed) – on
• exhaust damper (field-installed) – open
PURGE sequence “D”
This sequence is for purging air out of a
building before coming out of unoccupied
mode of operation. Also, it can purge
smoke or stale air.
• supply fan on

Operation
PURGE sequence “E”
This sequence uses supply air control for
smoke control.
• supply fan on
• outside air dampers open
• heat: all stages off, modulating heat
output at 0 vdc
• occupied/unoccupied output energized
• VO relay energized
• exhaust fan (field-installed) on
• exhaust damper (field-installed) open
Note: Each system (cooling, exhaust,
supply air, etc.) within the unit can be
redefined in the field for each of the five
sequences, if required. Also the definitions of any or all of the five sequences
may be locked into the software by
simple key strokes at the human interface panel.
Generic Building Automation System
Module (GBAS) Option
The generic building automation system
module (GBAS) provides broad control
capabilities for building automation
systems other than a Tracer Summit
system. Use a field provided
potentiometer or a 0-5 vdc signal to any
of the GBAS inputs, to access the
following inputs and outputs listed in the
paragraphs below.
GBAS analog inputs
These four analog inputs can be
configured to any of the following:
(1) occupied zone cooling
(2) unoccupied zone cooling
(3) uccupied zone heating
(4) unoccupied zone heating
(5) SA cooling setpoint
(6) SA heating setpoint
(7) space static pressure setpoint
(8) SA static pressure setpoint
GBAS binary outputs
Each of the five (5) relay outputs can be
mapped to any/all of the available
diagnostics.
Demand limiting binary input
This function is operational on units with a
GBAS and reduces electrical
consumption at peak load times. There
are two types of demand limiting, 50%
and 100%. When demand limiting is
needed, mechanical cooling and heating
operation are either partially (50%), or
completely disabled (100%) to save
operation
energy. The demand limit definition is
user definable at the human interface
panel. Demand limit binary input accepts
a field supplied switch or contact closure.
When the need for demand limiting
discontinues, the unit’s cooling/heating
functions will (again) fully enable.
Evaporator Coil Frost Protection
Frostat™
A temperature sensor on the evaporator
determines if the coil is getting close to a
freezing condition. Mechanical cooling
capacity is shed as necessary to prevent
icing.
The Frostat™ system eliminates the
need for hot gas bypass and adds a
suction line surface temperature sensor
mounted near the TXV bulb location to
shut off cooling when coil frosting
conditions occur. The supply fan does not
shut off and will de-ice the coil. Timers
prevent the compressors from rapid
cycling.
Occupied/Unoccupied Switching
There are four ways to switch occupied/
unoccupied:
(1) programmable night setback sensor
(2) field-supplied contact closure
(hardwired binary input to RTM)
(3) Tracer Summit or other BAS (via LCI-I
with LonTalk DAC profile)
(4) factory-mounted time clock
Field supplied occupied/unoccupied input
on the RTM
This input accepts a field supplied switch
or contacts closure such as a time clock.
Tracer System
The Tracer system can control the
occupied/unoccupied status of the fresh
air unit.
Factory Mounted Time Clock
A time clock can control the
occupied/unoccupied status of the
fresh air unit.
Timed Override Activation - ICS
This function is operational whenever the
unit’s RTM module board is used as the
zone temperature sensor source, which
can be set at the human interface panel.
Initiate this function by pressing the
override button on the zone sensor, to
switch the unit to the occupied mode. Unit
operation (occupied mode) during timed
override will terminate by a signal from
Tracer.
68FAXA-SVX01B-EN
sequence of
Operation
Timed Override Activation - Non-ICS
This function is active whenever the user
selects the unit’s RTM module board as
the zone temperature source (can be set
at the human interface panel). Initiate this
function by pressing the override button
on the zone sensor, which will switch the
unit to the occupied mode. Automatic
cancellation of the timed override mode
occurs after three hours of operation.
Low Ambient Compressor Lockout
This function will lock out the compressor
if the outdoor air temperature is below
the low ambient compressor lock-out
temperature setpoint when using a fieldinstalled outside air sensor. This setpoint
is adjustable at the human interface
panel. Compressors will lock out when
outdoor air temperature falls below that
selected temperature and will start again
when the temperature rises 5°F above
the setpoint.
Comparative Enthalpy Control of
Unoccupied Economizer Operation
An optional comparative enthalpy
system controls the economizer
operation and measures the temperature
and humidity of both return air and
outside air to determine which source
has lower enthalpy. This system allows
true comparison of outdoor air and return
air enthalpy by measurement of outdoor
and return air temperature and humidity.
The comparative enthalpy option should
always be ordered with a return air
damper.
Note: If the unit does not have comparative enthalpy, the Packaged Fresh Air unit
compares outdoor air enthalpy with a
fixed reference enthalpy, set through the
human interface panel. If ordering the
reference enthalpy option, you should
also order a return air damper. Also,
either supply air dehumidification with
zone RH reference or zone dehumidification with OA RH reference must be
ordered to utilize either comparative
enthalpy or reference enthalpy control.
Emergency Stop Input
A binary input is provided on the unit’s
RTM module board for installation of a
operation
field-provided switch or contacts to
immediately shutdown all unit functions.
Total Energy Wheel with Occupancy
Control
The optional total energy wheel recovers
energy from the exhaust airstream and
preconditions the outdoor air. The total
energy wheel enables when the unit is in
occupied mode and the exhaust fan is
running. The wheel disables during
unoccupied mode or any time that the
exhaust fan is not running. This includes
the unoccupied economizer mode when
the wheel disables, but the exhaust fan
enables. The wheel also disables via a
factory-installed thermostat at any time a
frost condition occurs (default setpoint
12°F). This frost protection thermostat
utilizes a setpoint range of -30 to 100°F.
Total Energy Wheel with Dry-Bulb
Control
The optional total energy wheel recovers
energy from the exhaust airstream and
preconditions the outdoor air. The total
energy wheel enables when all of the
following are true:
• unit is in occupied mode
• exhaust fan is enabled
• outside air temperature is above the
upper limit setpoint (default setpoint
80°F) or below the lower limit setpoint
(default setpoint 45°F)
• outside air temperature is above the
frost protection setpoint (default
setpoint 12°F)
Always set the upper limit setpoint to the
anticipated return air dry-bulb temperature. Set the lower limit setpoint to 10°F
less than the unit supply air dry-bulb
setpoint. The wheel will disable during
unoccupied mode or when the exhaust
fan is not running. This includes the
unoccupied economizer mode when the
wheel will disable, but the exhaust fan will
enable. The wheel also disables via a
factory installed thermostat when a frost
condition occurs. This frost protection
thermostat utilizes a setpoint range of -30
to 100°F.

Maintenance
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
This section describes specific
maintenance procedures that must be
preformed as a part of the normal
maintenance program for this unit. Be
certain to disconnect electrical power to
the unit before performing these
procedures.
Note: the following coil cleaning procedures apply only to the outdoor condensers. Do not use these procedures for the
reheat or evaporator coils.
Cleaning the Condenser Coils
Clean the coil at least once each year or
more frequently if located in a dirty
environment, to help maintain proper unit
operating efficiency. High discharge
pressures are a good indication that the
coil needs cleaning. Follow the detergent
manufacturer instructions as closely as
possible to avoid potential damage to the
coil.
WARNING
Hazardous chemicals!
Coil cleaning agents can be either
acidic or highly alkaline. Handle
chemical carefully. Ensure proper
handling by wearing goggles or face
shield, chemical resistant gloves,
boots, and apron or suit as required.
For personal safety refer to the
cleaning agent manufacturer’s
materials safety data sheet and follow
all recommended safe handling
practices. Failure to follow all safety
instructions can cause death or
serious injury.
To clean the refrigerant coil, use a soft
brush and sprayer, such as a garden
pump or high pressure type, with a
quality detergent; like SPREX AC, OAKITE
161, OAKITE 166, or COILOX.
Note: If detergent is strongly alkaline (i.e.
has a pH value greater that 8.5 ) after
mixing, an aluminum corrosion inhibitor
must be added.
procedures
Coil Cleaning Procedure
1. Turn off gas supply to the gas heaters
and disconnect power to the unit.
2. Remove enough panels and
components from the unit to gain
access to the coil.
3. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt
and debris form both sides of the coil.
4. Straighten coil fins with fin comb as
required.
5. Mix the detergent with water
according to the manufacturers
instructions.
Observe all recommendations of the
cleanser manufacturer. The coil cleanser
manufacturer’s recommendations,
warnings and cautions will at all times
take precedence to these instructions.
WARNING
Hazardous pressure!
Coils contain refrigerant under
pressure. When cleaning coils,
maintain coil cleaning solution
temperature under 150°F to avoid
excessive pressure in the coil. Failure
to follow these safety precautions can
cause coil bursting, which can result in
death or serious injury.
1. Place solution in the sprayer. Be sure to
follow these guidelines if using a highpressure sprayer:
a) Minimum nozzle spray angle is 15°.
b) Spray solution at 90° to the coil face.
c) Keep sprayer nozzle at least six inches
form the coil.
d) Sprayer pressure must not exceed
600 psi.
2. Spray leaving air side of the coil first
then spray the entering air side of the
coil. Allow the detergent and water
solution to stand on the coil for five
minutes.
3. Rinse both sides of the coil with cool,
clean water.
4. Inspect the coil. If it still appears dirty,
repeat the cleaning procedure.
5. Reinstall all unit components and
panels, and restore electrical power
and gas supply to the unit.

Total Energy Wheel
Protect the total energy wheel by using a
30% filter to keep dust and dirt from the
heat transfer surface. The wheel is
somewhat self cleaning through its
normal action of rotating in and out of
counter-current airflow streams. If the
wheel becomes dirty, clean it by blowing
out the unit with compressed air, 20 psig
maximum.
Cleaning the Total Energy Wheel
Trane total energy wheels are selfcleaning with respect to dry particles.
Smaller particles pass through the wheel.
Larger particles land on the surface and
are blown clear as the wheel turns into
the opposite airflow path. For this reason,
the primary cleaning required for the
total energy wheel is to remove the oilbased aerosol film that collect on the
surface. Such films can close off micronsized pores at the surface of the desiccant
material, reducing its ability to absorb and
desorb moisture. Periodically record the
air temperatures entering and leaving
the energy wheel to detect changes in
performance.
In a reasonably clean indoor environment, such as a school or office building,
experience shows that reductions of
airflow or loss of sensible effectiveness
may not occur for ten or more years.
Where there is moderate tobacco smoke
or within cooking facilities, reduction in
effectiveness can occur much faster. In
applications experiencing high levels of
OA
UNIT
FILTER
Maintenance
smoke, the energy transfer surfaces may
require cleaning as often as every six
months. Similar washing cycles may also
be appropriate for industrial applications,
such as welding or machining operations,
involving ventilation of high levels of
smoke or oil-based aerosols.
Proper cleaning of the energy wheel
should restore latent effectiveness to
near original performance.
Clean the total energy wheel as necessary to maintain optimum airflow. When
washing/cleaning the wheel, take care
not to allow water or detergent to come
into contact with any of the electrical
components. Drain holes in the wheel
rack are capped and can be removed
during cleaning. Replace caps to avoid air
bypass. The single draw hole located
upstream of the outside air filters should
be utilized for draining, during cleaning.
Ensure no water, moisture, or excess
detergent is left in the energy wheel
compartment. Use a wet-vac vauum
cleaner to remove water/moisture as
needed.
Air Filter Replacement
Filter access doors are on both sides of
the unit. To replace filters, remove the
dirty elements and install new filters
(ASHRAE 30% or higher) with the filter
directional arrows pointing toward the
fan. Verify that no air bypasses the filters.
OA
procedures
Inspecting and Cleaning the Drain Pan
Check the condensate drain pan and
drain line to ensure that the condensate
drains properly at least every six months
or as dictated by operating experience.
If evidence of standing water or condensate overflow exists, take steps to identify
and remedy the cause immediately.
Refer to the trouble shooting section of
this manual for possible causes and
solutions. If microbial growth is evident in
the drain pan, remove and clean it
immediately. Clean drain pans using the
following procedure:
1. Disconnect all electrical power to the
unit.
2. Don the appropriate personal
protective equipment (PPE).
3. Remove all standing water.
4. Use a plastic scraper or other tools to

Refrigerant System
Follow these Trane recommended
procedures to ensure refrigerant
conservation and emission reduction.
WARNING
Explosion hazard and deadly
gases!
Never solder, braze, or weld
refrigerant lines or any unit
components that are above
atmospheric pressure or where
refrigerant may be present. Always
remove refrigerant by following the
guidelines established by the EPA
Federal Clean Air Act or other state
or local codes as appropriate. After
removing refrigerant, use dry
nitrogen to bring the system back to
atmospheric pressure before opening
for repairs. Refrigerant mixtures and
air under pressure may become
combustible in the presence of an
ignition source leading to an
explosion. Excessive heat from
soldering, brazing, or welding with
refrigerant vapors present can form
highly toxic gases and extremely
corrosive acids. Failure to follow all
proper safe refrigerant handling
practices can cause death or serious
injury.
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 chmeicals that may
affect the ozone layer are refrigerants
that contain chlorine, fluorine, and carbon
(HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing
these compounds have the same
potential impact to the environment.
Trane advocates the responsible
handling of all refrigerants, including
industry replacements for CFCs, such as
HCFCs and HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices
Trane believes that responsible
refrigerant practices are important to the
Maintenance
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.
Also, pay specific attention to the following recommendations.
• Whenever removing refrigerant from
air conditioning equipment, recover it
and reuse, recycle, reprocess (reclaim),
or properly destroy.
• Always determine possible refrigerant
recycling or reclaiming requirements
before beginning recovery. Questions
about recovered refrigerants and
acceptable refrigerant quality
standards are addressed in ARI
Standard 700.
• Use approved containment vessels and
safety standards. Comply with all
applicable transportation standards
when shipping refrigerant containers.
• Use recycling equipment to minimize
emissions while recovering refrigerant.
• Always attempt to use methods that pull
the lowest possible system vacuum
while recovering and condensing
refrigerant into containment.
• When leak checking, be aware of any
new leak test methods that eliminate
refrigerant as a trace gas.
• Do not use refrigerant or solvents that
have ozone depletion factors to clean
system components and parts. Trane
recommends clean up methods using
filters and dryers. Properly dispose of
used materials.
• Take extra care to properly maintain all
service equipment directly supporting
refrigerant service work such as
gauges, hoses, vacuum pumps, and
recycling equipment.
• Stay aware of unit enhancements,
conversion refrigerants, compatible
parts, and manufacturer’s
recommendations that will reduce
refrigerant emissions and increase
equipment operating efficiencies.
Follow specific manufacturer’s
procedures
guidelines to convert existing systems.
• To help reduce power generation
emissions, always attempt to improve
equipment performance with improved
maintenance and operations that
conserve energy resources.
Refrigerant Leak Testing
WARNING
Confined space hazard!
Do not work in confined spaces where
sufficient quantities of refrigerant or
other hazardous, toxic, or
flammmable gas may be leaking.
Refrigerant or other gases can
displace available oxygen, causing
possible asphyxiation or other serious
health risks. Some gases may be
flammable and or explosive. Evacuate
the area immediately and contact the
proper rescue or response authority.
Failure to take appropriate
precautions or to react properly to a
potential hazard can cause death or
serious injury.
WARNING
Explosion hazard!
Use only dry nitrogen with a pressure
regulator to pressurize units for leak
testing. Do not use acetylene, oxygen,
compressed air, or any mixture of a
hydrogen-containing refrigerant and
air above atmostpheric pressure
because they may become flammable
and cause an explosion. Failure to
properly regulate pressure can cause
a violet explosion that can cause
death, serious injury, or equipment/
property-only damage.
In the event of required system repair,
leak test the liquid line, evaporator coil,
and suction line at pressures dictated by
local codes, and using the following
guidelines.

maintenance
1. Charge enough refrigerant and dry
nitrogen into the system to raise the
pressure to 100 psig.
2. Use a halogen leak detector, halide
torch, or soap bubbles to check for
leaks. Check interconnecting piping
joints, the evaporator coil connections,
and all accessory connections.
3. If a leak is detected, release the test
pressure, break the connections and
reassemble it as a new joint, using
proper brazing techniques.
4. If no leak is detected, use nitrogen to
increase the test pressure to 150 psig
and repeat the leak test. Also, use soap
bubbles to check for leaks when
nitrogen is added. Never pressurize the
unit above 200 psig.
5. Retest the system to make sure new
connections are solid.
6. If a leak is suspected after the system is
fully charged with refrigerant, use a
halogen leak detector, halide torch, or
soap bubbles to check for leaks.
Refrigerant Evacuation
For field evacuation, use a rotary style
vacuum pump capable of pulling a
vacuum of 100 microns or less.
When connecting the vacuum pump to a
refrigeration system, it is important to
manifold the pump to both the high and
low side of the system. Follow the pump
manufacturer’s directions.
CAUTION
Motor winding damage!
Do not use a Meg ohm meter or apply
power to the winding of a compressor
while it is under a deep vacuum. This
may damage the motor windings.
Maintenance
WARNING
Hazardous pressures!
If using a heat source to raise the tank
pressure when removing refrigerant,
use only warm water or heat blankets
to raise the tank temperature. Do not
exceed 150°F. Do not, under any
circumstances, apply direct flame to
any portion of the refrigerant cylinder.
Failure to follow these safety
precautions can cause a violet
explosion that can cause death or
serious injury.
Charging the Refrigerant System
CAUTION
Freezing temperatures!
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to
contact skin. If it does, treat the injury
similar to frostbite. Slowly warm the
afffected area with lukewarm water
and seek immediate medical
attention. Direct contact with liquid
refrigerant may cause minor or
moderate injury.
To completely charge the system, charge
gaseous refrigerant into the suction line
shrader valve with the unit running.
However, make sure that some
refrigerant is present in each circuit
before starting the compressors. The
refrigerant container should be upright so
that gaseous refrigerant is drawn off the
top.
procedures
Note: Charge each circuit with R134a.
See Table M-GI-1 on page 70.
CAUTION
Motor winding damage!
Do not use a megohm meter or apply
voltage greater than 50 DVC to a
compressor motor winding while it is
under a deep vacuum. Voltage sparkover
may damage the motor windings.
Note: Refer to Table M-GI-1 on page 70
for POE, oil type. Oil type is different for
Trane compressors vs. Copeland
compressors. Failure to comply may
cause premature compressor failure and
void compressor warranty.
CAUTION
Compressor damage!
Never manually or automatically pump
down system below 7 psig. This will
cause the compressor to operate in a
vacuum and result in compressor
damage.

Before servicing unit, FIRST turn off
the gas supply. Failure to turn off the
gas supply can cause death or serious
injury.
checklists
5. Check and record operating pressures
6. Inspect and clean total energy wheel as
needed.
Semi-Annual Maintenance
1. Verify the fan motor is properly aligned
and bolted tight to the motor frame.
2. Lubricate fan bearings with any of the
following types grease:
• NLGI N°3
• Mobil - Mobilux EP3
• ESSO - Beacon 3
• Shell - Alvania FET3
• Fina - Marson HTL3
3. With power disconnected, manually
rotate the fan wheel to check for
obstructions in the housing or
interference with fan blades or inlet
guide vane option. Remove
obstructions and debris. Center the fan
wheel if necessary.
4. Check the fan assembly sheave
alignment. Tighten set screws to their
proper torques.
5. Check the total energy wheel linkage
belt tightness. Adjust as necessary.
Note: Perform this procedure monthly if
the unit is in a coastal or corrosive
environment.
1. Inspect unit air filters. Clean or replace
if airflow is blocked or if filters are dirty.
2. Inspect coils for icing. Icing on the coils
may indicate low airflow supply,
restricted airflow from dirty fins,
evaporator frost protection sensor
problems, or a shortage of refrigerant
flowing through the coil.
3. Check the condition and tension of fan
belt. Adjust tension if belt is floppy or
squeals continually.
4. Verify the total energy wheel seals
have not become worn or damaged.
Replace as necessary.
Note: Check and adjust belt tension at
least twice daily the first days of new
belt operation. Belt tension will rapidly
decrease until the belts are run in.
80FAXA-SVX01B-EN
Annual Maintenance
Check and tighten all set screws, bolts,
locking collars and sheaves.
1. Inspect, clean, and tighten all electrical
connections.
2. Visually inspect the entire unit casing
for chips or corrosion. Remove rust or
corrosion and repaint surfaces.
3. Visually check for leaks in refrigerant
piping.
4. Inspect fan, motor, and control contacts.
Replace badly worn or eroded contacts.
5. Inspect the thermal expansion valve
sensing bulbs for cleanliness, good
contact with the suction line, and
adequate insulation from ambient air.
Note: For units with gas heat, refer to
the Reznor Installation Form RGM 401
for proper maintenance procedures of
gas heaters.

System Checks
Before proceeding with technical trouble
charts or controls checkout, complete the
follow system analysis:
1. Measure actual supply voltage at the
compressor and at motor terminals
with the unit running. Voltage must be
within the range listed on the motor
nameplate. Phase imbalance must be
less than 2.0% between phases.
2. Check all wiring and connections to be
sure that they are intact, secure and
properly routed. The as wired system
diagrams are provided in the unit
control panel.
3. Check that all fuses are installed and
properly sized.
4. Inspect air filters and coils to ensure
airflow to the unit is not restricted.
5. Check the zone thermostat settings, if
applicable.
6. Ensure the fan is rotating in the proper
direction. If phasing is wrong at the
main power terminal block, the fan and
compressors will not run.
7. Inspect ductwork and duct connections
for tightness.
8. Verify all applicable settings on the
human interface (HI).
Maintenance
Operating Procedures
Install pressure gauges on the discharge
and suction line access valves. When the
unit has stabilized (after operating
approximately 15 minutes at full load),
record suction and discharge pressures.
System malfunctions such as low airflow,
line restrictions, incorrect refrigerant
charge, malfunctioning of expansion
valves, damaged compressors, and so
on— will result in pressure variations
which are outside the normal range.
Note: If phasing at the main incoming
power terminal is incorrect, switch two
of the three incoming power leads. If a
compressor has been replaced and the
phase is changed at the compressor, it
will run backwards and discharge
pressure will be very low. To resolve
incorrect compressor wire phasing,
change phasing at the compressor.
It is important that pressures be measured under stable and constant conditions in order for the readings to be
useful.
Voltage Imbalance
Voltage imbalance on three-phase
procedures
systems can cause motor overheating
and premature failure. Maximum
allowable imbalance is 2.0% and the
readings used to determine it must be
measured at the compressor terminals.
Voltage imbalance is defined as 100
times the sum of the division of the three
voltages from the average voltage. If, for
example, the three measured voltages
are 221, 230, 227, the average would be:
(221+230+227) = 226 volts
3
The percentage of voltage imbalance is
then:
100*(226-221) = 2.2%
226
In this example, 2.2% imbalance of more
than 2.0% exists, be sure to check the
voltage at the unit disconnect and
terminal block switch. If an imbalance at
the unit disconnect switch does not
exceed 2.0%, the imbalance is caused by
faulty wiring within the unit. Be sure to
conduct a thorough inspection of the unit
electrical wiring connections to locate the
fault, and make any repairs necessary.
WARNING
Live electrical components!
During installation, testing, servicing,
and troubleshooting this equipment, it
may be necessary to work with live
electrical components. Have a
qualified licensed electrician or other
properly trained individual perform
these tasks. Failure to follow all
electrical safety precautions when
exposed to live electrical components
can cause death or serious injury.
