Introduction
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servici ng
this unit.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as
required. Your personal safety and the proper operation of
this machine depend upon the strict observance of these
precautions.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious
injury. All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified
personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field
wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To
avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for
field wiring installation and grounding as described in
NEC and your local/state electrical codes.
WARNING
CAUTIONs
NOTICE:
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury. It
could also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
Indicates a situation that could result in
equipment or property-damage only
accidents.
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. Trane advocates the responsible handling of
all refrigerants-including industry replacements for CFCs
such as HCFCs and HFCs.
Important 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
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Required!
Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to
electrical, mechanical and chemical hazards.
•Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians
MUST put on all PPE required for the work being
undertaken (Examples: cut resistant gloves/sleeves,

Sheets (MSDS)/Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and OSHA
guidelines for proper PPE.
•When working with or around hazardous chemicals,
ALWAYS refer to the appropriate MSDS/SDS and
OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of Chemicals) guidelines
for information on allowable personal exposure
levels, proper respiratory protection and handling
instructions.
•If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or
flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE in accordance
with OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific
requirements for arc flash protection, PRIOR to

photos of the damage, if possible. The owner must
provide reasonable evidence that the damage did not
occur after delivery.
•Notify the appropriate sales representative before
installing or repairing a damaged unit.
Storage
Take precautions to prevent condensate from forming
inside the unit’s electrical compartments and motors in the
following situations:
•The unit is stored before it is installed.
•The unit is set on the roof curb, and temporary heat is
provided in the building. Isolate all side panel service
entrances and base pan openings (e.g., conduit holes,
Supply Air and Return Air openings, and flue
openings) from the ambient air until the unit is ready
for start-up.
Note: Do not use the unit’s heater for temporary heat
without first completing the start-up procedure
detailed under “Unit Start-Up,” p. 32.
The manufacturer will not assume any responsibility for
equipment damage resulting from condensate
accumulation on the unit’s electrical and/or mechanical
components.
Unit Nameplate
A Mylar unit nameplate is located on the unit’s corner
support next to the filter access panel. It includes the unit
model number, serial number, electrical characteristics,
refrigerant charge, as well as other pertinent unit data.
Compressor Nameplate
The nameplate for the compressors are located on the side
of the compressor.
Unit Description
Before shipment, each unit is leak tested, dehydrated,
charged with refrigerant and compressor oil, and run
tested for proper control operation.
The condenser coils are either aluminum fin, mechanically
bonded to copper tubing or all aluminum microchannel.
Direct-drive, vertical discharge condenser fans are
provided with built-in thermal overload protection.
There are two control systems offered for these units. The
electromechanical control option uses a thermostat to
perform unit functions. The ReliaTel™ control module is a
microelectronic control system that is referred to as
“refrigeration module” (RTRM). The acronym RTRM is
used extensively throughout this document when
referring to the control system network.
These modules through proportional/integral control
algorithms perform specific unit functions that govern unit
operation in response to zone temperature, supply air
temperature, and/or humidity conditions depending on
the application. The stages of capacity control for these
units are achieved by starting and stopping the
compressors.
The RTRM is mounted in the control panel and is factory
wired to the respective internal components. The RTRM
receives and interprets information from other unit
modules, sensors, remote panels, and customer binary
contacts to satisfy the applicable request for cooling.
Economizer Control Actuator (Optional)
ReliaTel™ Control
The ECA monitors the mixed air temperature, return air
temperature, minimum position setpoint (local or
remote), power exhaust setpoint, CO2 setpoint, CO2, and
ambient dry bulb/enthalpy sensor or comparative
humidity (return air humidity against ambient humidity)
sensors, if selected, to control dampers to an accuracy of
+/- 5% of stroke. The actuator is spring returned to the
closed position any time that power is lost to the unit. It is
capable of delivering up to 25 inch pounds of torque and
is powered by 24 VAC.
RTCI—ReliaTel™ Trane Communication
Interface (Optional)
This module is used when the application calls for an
ICSTM building management type control system. It
allows the control and monitoring of the system through
an ICS panel. The module can be ordered from the factory
or ordered as a kit to be field installed. Follow the
6 RT-SVX38C-EN
Page 7
General Information
installation instruction that ships with each kit when field
installation is necessary.
RLCI—ReliaTel™ LonTalk® Communication
Interface (Optional)
This module is used when the application calls for an
ICSTM building management type control system that is
LonTalk. It allows the control and monitoring of the system
through an ICS panel. The module can be ordered from the
factory or ordered as a kit to be field installed. Follow the
installation instruction that ships with each kit when field
installation is necessary.
This module is used when the application calls for an open
BACnet protocol. It allows the control and monitoring of
the system through an ICS panel. The module can be
ordered from the factory or as a kit to be field installed.
Follow the installation instructions that ships with each kit
when field installation is necessary.
RTOM—ReliaTel™ Options Module (Optional)
The RTOM monitors the supply fan proving, clogged filter,
supply air temperature, exhaust fan setpoint, supply air
tempering, Frostat™ and smoke detector. Refer to system
input devices and functions for operation.
System Input Devices and Functions
The RTRM must have a zone sensor or thermostat input in
order to operate the unit. The flexibility of having several
mode capabilities depends upon the type of zone sensor or
thermostat selected to interface with the RTRM.
The descriptions of the following basic Input Devices used
within the RTRM network are to acquaint the operator with
their function as they interface with the various modules.
Refer to the unit’s electrical schematic for the specific
module connections.
The following controls are available from the factory for
field installation.
Supply Fan Failure Input (Optional)
The Fan Failure Switch can be connected to sense indoor
fan operation:
FFS (Fan Failure Switch)
proven by the differential pressure switch connected to the
RTOM (factory setpoint 0.07" 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 output will flash. The system will remain
locked out until a reset is initiated either manually or
through ICS.
Clogged Filter Switch (Optional)
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
—If air flow through the unit is not
RTOM. A diagnostic SERVICE signal is sent to the remote
panel if the pressure differential across the filters is at least
0.5" w.c. The contacts will automatically open when the
pressure differential across the filters decreases to
approximately 0.4" w.c. The clogged filter output is
energized when the supply fan is operating and the
clogged filter switch has been closed for at least 2 minutes.
The system will continue to operate regardless of the
status of the filter switch.
Note: On units equipped with factory installed MERV 13
filters, a clogged filter switch with different
pressure settings will be installed. This switch will
close when the differential pressure is
approximately 0.8' w.c. and open when the
differential falls to 0.7" w.c.
Condensate Drain Pan Overflow Switch
(Optional)
ReliaTel Option
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 functions until the overflow condition has
cleared. The unit will return to normal operation after six
continuous seconds with the COF in a non-tripped
condition. If the condensate level causes unit shutdown
more than two times in a 3-day period, the unit will be
locked-out of operation requiring manual reset of
diagnostic system through zone sensor or building
automation system (BAS). Cycling unit power will also
clear the fault.
Compressor Disable (CPR1/2)
This input incorporates the low pressure control (LPC) of
each refrigeration circuit and can be activated by opening
a field-supplied contact installed on the LTB.
If this circuit is open before the compressor is started, the
compressor will not be allowed to operate. Anytime this
circuit is opened for 1 continuous second during
compressor operation, the compressor for that circuit is
immediately turned “Off”. The compressor will not be
allowed to restart for a minimum of 3 minutes should the
contacts close.
If four consecutive open conditions occur during the first
three minutes of operation, the compressor for that circuit
will be locked out, a diagnostic communicated to the
remote panel (if installed), and a manual reset will be
required to restart the compressor.
Low Pressure Control
ReliaTel Control
When the LPC is opened for 1 continuous second, the
compressor for that circuit is turned off immediately. The
compressor will not be allowed to restart for a minimum
of 3 minutes.
RT-SVX38C-EN7
Page 8
General Information
If four consecutive open conditions occur during an active
call for cooling, the compressor will be locked out, a
diagnostic communicated to ICS™, if applicable, and a
manual reset required to restart the compressor. On dual
compressor units only the affected compressor circuit is
locked out.
High Pressure Control
ReliaTel Control
The high pressure controls are wired in series between the
compressor outputs on the RTRM and the compressor
contactor coils. If the high pressure control switch opens,
the RTRM senses a lack of current while calling for cooling
and locks the compressor out.
If four consecutive open conditions occur during an active
call for cooling, the compressor will be locked out, a
diagnostic communicated to ICS, if applicable, and a
manual reset required to restart the compressor. On dual
compressor units only the affected compressor circuit is
locked out.
Lead/Lag Control (Dual Circuit Only)
ReliaTel Control Only
Lead/Lag is a selectable input located on the RTRM. The
RTRM is configured from the factory with the Lead/Lag
control disabled. To activate the Lead/Lag function, simply
cut the wire connected to J3-8 at the RTRM. When it is
activated, each time the designated lead compressor is
shut off due to the load being satisfied, the lead
compressor or refrigeration circuit switches. When the
RTRM is powered up,e.g., after a power failure, the control
will default to the number one circuit compressor.

240ºF. The control can be reset after the temperature has
been lowered approximately 25ºF below the cutout
setpoint.
Evaporator Frost Control
General Information
ReliaTel™ Option
This input incorporates the Frostat™ control (FOS)
mounted in the indoor coil circuit and can be activated by
closing a field-supplied contact installed in parallel with
the FOS.
If this circuit is open before the compressor is started, the
compressor will not be allowed to operate. Anytime this
circuit is opened for 1 continuous second during
compressor operation, the compressor for that circuit
immediately turns off. The compressor will not be allowed
to restart for a minimum of 3 minutes if the FOS closes.
Discharge Line Temp Switch (DLTS)
The DLTS is looped in series with HPC and LPC. It prevents
compressor from overheating (over 300Fº dome temp) in
case of indoor fan failure (cooling) or outdoor fan failure
(heating).

Roof Curb
Downflow
The roof curbs for these units consists of a “full perimeter”
enclosure to support the unit just inside of the unit base
rail.
Before installing any roof curb, verify the following:
•It is the correct curb for the unit
•It includes the necessary gaskets and hardware
•The installation location provides the required
clearance for proper operation
•The curb is level and square; the top surface of the curb
must be true to assure an adequate curb-to-unit seal
WARNING
Combustible Materials!
Maintain proper clearance between the unit heat
exchanger, vent surfaces and combustible materials.
Refer to unit nameplate and installation instructions for
proper clearances. Improper clearances could result in
combustible materials catching on fire. Failure to
maintain proper clearances could result in death or
serious injury or property damage.
Verify that appropriate materials were used in the
construction of roof and ductwork. Combustible materials
should not be used in the construction of ductwork or roof
curb that is in close proximity to heater elements or any
hot surface. Any combustible material on the inside of the
unit base should be removed and replaced with
appropriate material.
Step-by-step curb assembly and installation instructions
ship with each accessory roof curb kit. Follow the
instructions carefully to assure proper fit-up when the unit
is set into place.
Note: To assure proper condensate flow during
operation, as well as proper operation of the
condensate overflow switch (if equipped), the unit
and curb must be level.
If the unit is elevated, a field constructed catwalk around
the unit is strongly recommended to provide easy access
for unit maintenance and service.
Recommendations for installing the Supply Air and Return
Air ductwork joining the roof curb are included in the curb
instruction booklet. Curb ductwork must be fabricated and
installed by the installing contractor before the unit is set
into place.
Note: For sound consideration, cut only the holes in the
roof deck for the ductwork penetrations. Do not cut
out the entire roof deck within the curb perimeter.

unit is properly installed and ready for operation.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects and discharge all motor start/run
capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be
inadvertently energized. Verify with an appropriate
voltmeter that all capacitors have discharged. Failure to
disconnect power and discharge capacitors before
servicing could result in death or serious injury.
For additional information regarding the safe discharge
of capacitors, see PROD-SVB06A-EN
•Verify that the condenser airflow will be unobstructed.
WARNING
Rotating Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and
troubleshooting of this product it may be necessary to
work 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.
•Verify that the condenser fan and indoor blower turn
freely without rubbing and are properly tightened on
the shafts.
•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 lubricating,
refer to the maintenance section of this manual for
instructions.
•Verify that a condensate trap is installed and the piping
is properly sized and pitched.
•Verify that the correct size and number of filters are in
place.
•Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris and
install all panels in preparation for starting the unit.
Voltage Imbalance
Three phase 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.
Excessive three phase voltage imbalance between phases
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=

The 2.2% imbalance in this example exceeds the
maximum allowable imbalance 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 is over 2%, notify the proper agencies
to correct the voltage problem before operating this
equipment.

Electrical Phasing (Three-Phase
Motors)
The compressor motor(s) and the supply fan motor are
internally connected for the proper rotation when the
incoming power supply is phased as A, B, C.
Before starting the unit, quickly determine and correct
proper electrical supply phasing by using an instrument
such as an Associated Research Model 45 Phase Sequence
Indicator and the following steps:
•Turn the field-supplied disconnect switch that provides
power to the main power terminal block or to the
“Line” side of the optional factory-mounted
disconnect switch to the OFF position.
•Connect the phase sequence indicator leads to the
terminal block or to the “Line” side of the optional
factory-mounted disconnect switch as follows:
Black (phase A) to L1
Red (phase B) to L2
RT-SVX38C-EN29
Page 30
Pre-Start
Yellow (phase C) to L3
•Close the field-supplied main power disconnect switch
or circuit protector switch that provides the supply
power to the unit.
Note: Upon closing main power disconnect and the
unit-mounted disconnect switch or circuit breaker,
the phase monitor will verify proper phasing. If LED
on face of the monitor is red, correct supply power
fault.
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. Failure to follow all electrical safety
precautions when exposed to live electrical
components could result in death or serious injury.
To prevent injury or death from electrocution, it is the
responsibility of the technician to recognize this hazard
and use extreme care when performing service
procedures with the electrical power energized.
•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 switch or circuit protection switch
and reverse any two power wires.
•Restore the main electrical power and recheck the
phasing. If the phasing is correct, open the disconnect
switch or circuit protection switch and remove the
phase sequence indicator.
Compressor Crankcase Heaters (Optional)
Each compressor can be equipped with a crankcase heater
(on some units the crankcase heater comes standard). The
proper operation of the crankcase heater is important to
maintain an elevated compressor oil temperature during
the OFF cycle to reduce oil foaming during compressor
starts. Oil foaming occurs when refrigerant condenses in
the compressor and mixes with the oil. In lower ambient
conditions, refrigerant migration to the compressor could
increase.
When the compressor starts, the sudden reduction in
crankcase pressure causes the liquid refrigerant to boil
rapidly causing the oil to foam. This condition could
damage compressor bearings due to reduced lubrication
and could cause compressor mechanical failures.
Before starting the unit in the “Cooling” mode, set the
system switch to the OFF position and turn the main power
disconnect to the ON position and allow the crankcase
heater to operate a minimum of 8 hours.
Before closing the main power disconnect switch, ensure
that the “System” selection switch is in the OFF position
and the “Fan” selection switch is in the “Auto” position.
Close the main power disconnect switch and the
unit-mounted disconnect switch, if applicable.
Note: Upon closing main power disconnect and the
unit-mounted disconnect switch or circuit breaker,
the phase monitor will verify proper phasing. If LED
on face of the monitor is red, correct supply power
fault.

ReliaTel™ Controls
Upon power initialization, the RTRM performs
self-diagnostic checks to ensure that all internal controls
are functional. It also checks the configuration parameters
against the components connected to the system. The
Liteport LED located on the RTRM module turns on within
one second of power-up if internal operation is okay.
Use one of the following “Test” procedures 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 “Test” terminals for two to
three seconds. The Liteport 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 switch.
Once the test mode has been terminated, the Liteport LED
will glow continuously and the unit will revert to the
“System” control.

Test Modes
There are three methods in which the “Test” mode can be
cycled at LTB-Test 1 and LTB-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 start-up of the unit, this method
allows the technician to cycle a component “On” and
have up to one hour to complete the check.
2. Resistance Test Mode—This method can be used for
start-up providing a decade box for variable resistance
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 start-up 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 unit test steps, test modes, and step resistance values
to cycle the various components, refer to Table 9 , p . 3 1 .
ReliaTel™ Controls
Upon power initialization, the Gas Ignition Module (IGN)
performs self-diagnostic checks to ensure that all internal
controls are functional. It also checks the configuration
parameters against the components connected to the
system. The System LED located on the IGN module is
turned on within one second of power-up if internal
operation is okay.

Units with Belt Drive Indoor Fan
Much of the systems performance and reliability is closely
associated with, and dependent upon, having the proper
airflow supplied both to the space that is being
conditioned and across the evaporator coil.
The indoor fan speed is changed by opening or closing the
adjustable motor sheave.
Before starting the SERVICE TEST, set the minimum
position setpoint for the economizer to 0 percent using the
setpoint potentiometer located on the Economizer Control
(ECA), if applicable.
ReliaTel™ Control:
Using the Service Test Guide in Ta bl e 9 , p . 3 1, mome ntarily
jump across the Test 1 and Test 2 terminals on LTB1 one
time to start the Minimum Ventilation Test.
With the fan operating properly, determine the total
system airflow (CFM) by:
1. Measuring the actual RPM,
2. Measure the amperage at the supply fan contactor and
compare it with the full load amp (FLA) rating stamped
on the motor nameplate.
a. Calculate the theoretical BHP using (Actual Motor
Amps/ Motor Nameplate Amps) X Motor HP.
b. Using the fan performance tables in the unit Service
Facts, plot the actual RPM (step 1) and the BHP (step
2a) to obtain the operating CFM.
3. If the required CFM is too low, (external static pressure
is high causing motor HP output to be below table
value),
a. Relieve supply and/or return duct static.
b. Change indoor fan speed and repeat steps 1 and 2.
•To increase fan rpm: Loosen the pulley adjustment set
screw and turn sheave clockwise.
•To decrease fan rpm: Loosen the pulley adjustment set
screw and turn sheave counterclockwise.
•If the required CFM is too high, (external static
pressure is low, causing motor HP output to be above
table value), change indoor fan speed and repeat steps
1 and 2.
•To stop the SERVICE TEST, turn the main power
disconnect switch to the OFF position or proceed to the
next component start-up procedure.
Economizer Start-Up
ReliaTel Control:

time to start the Minimum Ventilation Test.
1. Set the minimum position setpoint for the economizer
to the required percentage of minimum ventilation
using the setpoint potentiometer located on the
Economizer Control (ECA).
The economizer will drive to its minimum position
setpoint, exhaust fans (if applicable) may start at
random, and the supply fan will start when the
SERVICE TEST is initiated.
WARNING
Rotating Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and
troubleshooting of this product it may be necessary to
measure the speed of 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 when exposed to rotating
components could result in death or serious injury.
The exhaust fan will start anytime the economizer
damper position is equal to or greater than the exhaust
fan setpoint.
2. Verify that the dampers stroked to the minimum
position.
ReliaTel Control:
Momentarily jump across the Test 1 and Test 2
terminals on LTB1 one additional time if continuing
from previous component start-up or until the desired
start-up component Test is started.

Scroll Compressors
a. Once each compressor has started, verify that the
rotation is correct. If a scroll compressor is rotating
backwards, it will not pump and a loud rattling
sound can be observed.
b. If the electrical phasing is correct, before
condemning a compressor, interchange any two
leads (at the compressor terminal block) to check
the internal phasing. If the compressor runs
backward for an extended period (15 to 30 minutes),
the motor winding can overheat and cause the
motor winding thermostat to open.
2. After the compressor and condenser fan have started
and operated for approximately 30 minutes, observe
the operating pressures. Compare the operating
pressures to the operating pressure curve in the
Service Facts.
3. Check system superheat. Follow the instruction listed
on the superheat charging curve in the Service Facts.
Superheat should be within ±5°F of the superheat chart
value.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each refrigerant circuit.
5. To stop the SERVICE TEST, turn the main power
disconnect switch to the OFF position or proceed to the
next component start-up procedure. Remove electro
mechanical test mode connections (if applicable).
Final System Setup
After completing all of the pre-start and start-up
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:
•Program the Night Setback (NSB) panel (if applicable)
for proper unoccupied operation. Refer to the
programming instructions for the specific panel.
•Verify that the Remote panel “System” selection
switch, “Fan” selection switch, and “Zone

measure the speed of 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 when exposed to rotating

The fan belts must be inspected periodically to assure
proper unit operation.
Replacement is necessary if the belts appear frayed or
worn. Units with dual belts require a matched set of belts
to ensure equal belt length.
When removing or installing the new belts, do not stretch
them over the sheaves. Loosen the belts using the belt
tension adjustment bolts on the motor mounting base.
Once the new belts are installed, using a Browning or
Gates tension gauge (or equivalent) illustrated in
Figure 31; adjust the belt tension as follows:
1. To determine the appropriate belt deflection:
a. Measure the center-to-center shaft distance (in
inches) between the fan and motor sheaves.
b. Divide the distance measured in Step 1a by 64; the
resulting value represents the amount of belt
deflection that corresponds to the proper belt
tension.
2. Set the large O-ring on the belt tension gauge at the
deflection value determined in Step 1b.
3. Set the small O-ring at zero on the force scale of the
gauge plunger.
4. Place the large end of the gauge at the center of the belt
span; then depress the gauge plunger until the large
O-ring is even with the top of the next belt or even with
a straightedge placed across the fan and motor
sheaves. Refer to Figure 9.
5. Remove the belt tension gauge. The small O-ring now
indicates a number other than zero on the plunger’s
force scale. This number represents the force (in
pounds) required to give the needed deflection.
6. Compare the “force” scale reading (Step 5) with the
appropriate “force” value listed in Ta b le 10 . If the
“force” reading is outside the range, readjust the belt
tension.
Note: Actual belt deflection “force” must not exceed the
maximum “force” value shown in Ta b le 10.
7. Recheck the belt tension at least twice during the first
2 to 3 days of operation. Belt tension may decrease
until the new belts are “run in”.

failures are indicated, proceed to Step 5.
4. If a System failure is indicated, recheck Steps 1 and 2.
If the LED is not lit in Step 1, and 24 VAC is present in
Step 2, the RTRM has failed. Replace the RTRM.
5. If no failures are indicated, use one of the TEST mode
procedures described in the “Unit Start-Up” section to
start the unit. This procedure allows you to check all of
the RTRM outputs and all of the external controls
(relays, contactors, etc.) that the RTRM outputs
energize, for each respective mode. Proceed to Step 6.
6. Step the system through all of the available modes,
and verify operation of all outputs, controls, and
modes. If a problem in operation is noted in any mode,
you may leave the system in that mode for up to one
hour while troubleshooting. Refer to the sequence of
operations for each mode, to assist in verifying proper
operation. Make the necessary repairs and proceed to
Steps 7 and 8.
7. If no abnormal operating conditions appear in the test
mode, exit the test mode by turning the power to OFF
at the main power disconnect switch.
8. Refer to the individual component test procedures if
other microelectronic components are suspect.
System Status Checkout
Procedure
Check system status by using one of the following two
methods:
Method 1
If the Zone Sensor Module (ZSM) is equipped with a
remote panel with LED status indication, you can check the
unit within the space. If the ZSM does not have LEDs, use
Method 2. BAYSENS110*, BAYSENS109*, BAYSENS119*,
BAYSENS023A all have the remote panel indication
feature. The LED descriptions are listed below.
LED 1 (System)
OnDuring normal operation
OffIf a system failure occurs or LED fails
FlashingIndicates test mode
LED 2 (Heat)
OnWhen the heat cycle is operating
OffWhen the heat cycle terminates or LED fails
Flashing Indicates a heating failure
LED 3 (Cool)
OnWhen the cooling cycle is operating
OffWhen the cooling cycle terminates or LED fails
Flashing Indicates a cooling failure
LED 4 (Service)
OnIndicates a clogged filter
OffDuring normal operation
Flashing Indicates an evaporator fan failure or
condensate overflow switch failure
The following sections contain a complete listing of failure
indication causes.
System failure
Check the voltage between terminals 6 and 9 on J6; it
should read approximately 32 VDC. If no voltage is
present, a system failure has occurred. Refer to Step 4 in
38 RT-SVX38C-EN

the previous section for the recommended
troubleshooting procedure.
Heating Failure
Verify heat failure by ignition module (IGN) LED indicator:
OffNo power or power failure
OnNormal
Slow flash Normal, heat call
Fast flash 1 flashCommunication failure
2 flashesSystem lockout
3 flashesPressure switch fail
4 flashesTC01 or TC02 open
5 flashesFlame without gas valve
6 flashesFlame rollout open
Cooling Failure
•Cooling and heating set point (slide pot) on the zone
sensor has failed. Refer to the “Zone Sensor Test
Procedure” section.
•Zone temperature thermistor ZTEMP on ZTS failed.
Refer to the “Zone Sensor Test Procedure” section.
•CC1 or CC2 24 VAC control circuit has opened—check
CC1 and CC2 coils and any of the controls below that
apply to the unit (HPC1, HPC2).
•LPC1 has opened during the 3-minute minimum “on
time” during 4 consecutive compressor starts—check
LPC1 or LPC2 by testing voltage between the J1-1 and
J3-2 terminals on the RTRM and ground. If 24 VAC is
present, the LPCs has not tripped. If no voltage is
present, LPCs has tripped.
Service Failure
•If the supply fan proving switch has closed, the unit will
not operate (when connected to RTOM)—check the fan
motor, belts, and proving switch.
•Clogged filter switch has closed—check the filters.
•If the condensate overflow switch is closed, the unit
will not operate—check the float position is not in a
tripped condition and verify an “open” between wires
connecting to RTOM J6-1, J6-2 (ReliaTel™ controls).
Simultaneous Heat and Cool Failure
•Emergency stop is activated
Method 2
The second method for determining system status is done
by checking voltage readings at the RTRM (J6). The
following sections list system indication descriptions and
the approximate voltages.
System Failure
•Measure the voltage between terminals J6-9 and J6-6.
•Normal operation = approximately 32 VDC
•System failure = less than 1 VDC, approximately 0.75
VDC
•Test mode = voltage alternates between 32 VDC and
0.75 VDC
Heat Failure
•Measure the voltage between terminals J6-7 and J6-6.
•Heat operating = approximately 32 VDC
•Heat off = less than 1 VDC, approximately 0.75 VDC
•Heating failure = voltage alternates between 32 VDC
and 0.75 VDC
Cool Failure
•Measure the voltage between terminals J6-8 and J6-6.
•Cool Operating = approximately 32 VDC
•Cool Off = less than 1 VDC, approximately 0.75 VDC
•Cooling Failure = voltage alternates between 32 VDC
and 0.75 VDC
Service Failure
•Measure the voltage between terminals J6-10 and
J6-6.
•Clogged filter = approximately 32 VDC.
•Normal = less than 1 VDC, approximately 0.75 VDC
Fan Failure = voltage alternates between 32 VDC and
0.75 VDC.
To use LEDs for quick status information at the unit,
purchase a BAYSENS110* ZSM and connect wires with
alligator clamps to terminals 6 through 10. Connect each
respective terminal wire (6 through 10) from the Zone
Sensor to the unit J6 terminals 6 through 10.
Note: If the system is equipped with a programmable
zone sensor, (BAYSENS119*, or BAYSENS023A),
the LED indicators will not function while the
BAYSENS110* is connected.
Resetting Cooling and Ignition Lockouts
Cooling failures and heating lockouts are reset in an
identical manner. Method 1 explains resetting the system
from the space; Method 2 explains resetting the system at
the unit.
Note: Before resetting Cooling Failures and Ignition
Lockouts check the Failure Status Diagnostics by
the methods previously explained. Diagnostics will
be lost when the power to the unit is disconnected.
Resetting Lockouts—Method 1
To reset the system from the space, turn the “Mode”
selection switch at the zone sensor to the OFF position.
After approximately 30 seconds, turn the “Mode”
selection switch to the desired mode, e.g., Heat, Cool, or
Auto.
RT-SVX38C-EN39

Troubleshooting
Resetting Lockouts—Method 2
To reset the system at the unit, cycle the unit power by
turning the disconnect switch to OFF and then to ON.
Lockouts can be cleared through the building
management system. Refer to the building management
system instructions for more information.
Zone Temperature Sensor (ZTS)
Service Indicator
The ZSM SERVICE LED is a generic indicator that will
signal the closing of a Normally Open switch at any time,
providing the Indoor Motor (IDM) is operating. This
indicator is usually used to indicate a clogged filter or an
air side fan failure.
The RTRM will ignore the closing of this Normally Open
switch for 2 (±1) minutes. This helps prevent nuisance
SERVICE LED indications. The exception is the LED will
flash 40 seconds after the fan is turned to ON if the Fan
Proving Switch is not made.
Clogged Filter Switch
This LED will remain lit the entire time that the Normally
Open switch is closed. The LED will be turned off
immediately after resetting the switch (to the Normally
Open position), or any time that the IDM is turned to OFF.
If the switch remains closed, and the IDM is turned to ON,
the SERVICE LED will be turned to ON again after the 2 (±1)
minute ignore delay.
This LED being turned to ON will have no other affect on
unit operation. It is an indicator only.
Fan Failure Switch
When the “Fan Failure” switch is wired to the RTOM, the
LED will remain flashing the entire time the fan proving
switch is closed, indicating a fan failure, and it will shut
down the unit operations.
Test 1—Zone Temperature Thermistor
(ZTEMP)
This component is tested by measuring the resistance
between terminals 1 and 2 on the Zone Temperature
Sensor. Below are some typical indoor temperatures, and
corresponding resistive values.
Test 2—Cooling Set Point (CSP) and
Heating Set Point (HSP)
The resistance of these potentiometers are measured
between the following ZSM terminals. Refer to the chart
above for approximate resistances at the given setpoints.
Cool SP = Terminals 2 and 3
Range = 100 to 900 Ohms approximate
Heat SP = Terminals 2 and 5
Range = 100 to 900 Ohms approximate
Test 3—System Mode and Fan Selection
The combined resistance of the Mode selection switch and
the Fan selection switch can be measured between
terminals 2 and 4 on the Zone Sensor. The possible switch
combinations are listed below with their corresponding
resistance values.
Test 4—LED Indicator Test, (SYS ON, HEAT,
Condensate Overflow Switch
When the “Condensate Overflow Switch” is closed, a
drain pan overflow condition is indicated, and it will shut
unit operations down.
Zone Temperature Sensor (ZTS)
COOL, and SERVICE)
Method 1
Testing the LED using a meter with diode test function. Test
both forward and reverse bias. Forward bias should
measure a voltage drop of 1.5 to 2.5 volts, depending on
your meter. Reverse bias will show an Over Load, or open
circuit indication if LED is functional.
Test
Method 2
Note: These procedures are not for programmable or
digital models and are conducted with the Zone
Sensor Module electrically removed from the
system.
40 RT-SVX38C-EN
Testing the LED with an analog Ohmmeter. Connect
Ohmmeter across LED in one direction; then reverse the
leads for the opposite direction. The LED should have at
least 100 times more resistance in reverse direction, as
compared with the forward direction. If high resistance in
both directions, LED is open. If low in both directions, LED
is shorted.
Page 41
Troubleshooting
Method 3
To test LEDs with ZSM connected to unit, test voltages at
LED terminals on ZSM. A measurement of 32 VDC, across
an unlit LED, means the LED has failed.
Programmable and Digital Zone Sensor
Test
Testing serial communication voltage
1. Verify 24 VAC is present between terminals J6-14 and
J6-11.
2. Disconnect wires from J6-11 and J6-12. Measure the
voltage between J6-11 and J6-12; it should be about 32
VDC.
3. Reconnect wires to terminals J6-11 and J6-12. Measure
voltage again between J6-11 and J6-12; voltage should
flash high and low every 0.5 seconds. The voltage on
the low end will measure about 19 VDC, while the
voltage on the high end will measure from
approximately 24 to 38 VDC.
4. Verify all modes of operation, by running the unit
through all of the steps in the “Test Modes” section
discussed in “Unit Start-Up”.
5. After verifying proper unit operation, exit the test
mode. Turn on the fan continuously at the ZSM, by
pressing the button with the fan symbol. If the fan
comes on and runs continuously, the ZSM is good. If
you are not able to turn on the fan, the ZSM is
defective.
If the RTCI loses input from the building management
system, the RTRM will control in the default mode after
approximately 15 minutes. If the RTRM loses the Heating
and Cooling setpoint input, the RTRM will control in the
default mode instantaneously. The temperature sensing
thermistor in the Zone Sensor Module is the only
component required for the “Default Mode” to operate.
Unit Operation without a Zone Sensor
This procedure is for temporary operation only. The
economizer and condenser fan cycling functions are
disabled.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be
inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power
before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
1. Open and lock the unit disconnect switch.
2. Remove the Outside Air Sensor (OAS) from the
condenser section of unit.
3. Use 2 wire nuts to individually cap the wires.
4. Locate the RTRM (J6). Connect 2 wires to terminals
J6-1 and 2.
5. Connect the sensor (OAS) using two wire nuts to the 2
field-supplied wires that were connected to terminals
1 and 2 on J6.
