Introduction
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing
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,
butyl gloves, safety glasses, hard hat/bump cap, fall
protection, electrical PPE and arc flash clothing).
ALWAYS refer to appropriate Material Safety Data
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
servicing the unit. NEVER PERFORM ANY
SWITCHING, DISCONNECTING, OR VOLTAGE
TESTING WITHOUT PROPER ELECTRICAL PPE AND
ARC FLASH CLOTHING. ENSURE ELECTRICAL
METERS AND EQUIPMENT ARE PROPERLY RATED
FOR INTENDED VOLTAGE.
Failure to follow instructions could result in death or
serious injury.

Note: Do not use the unit heater for temporary heat
without first completing the startup procedure
detailed under “Unit Startup,” p. 98.
Trane will not assume any responsibility for equipment
damage resulting from condensate accumulation on the
unit electrical and/or mechanical components.
Unit Clearances
Figure 10, p. 23 Table 4, p. 23 illustrates the minimum
operating and service clearances for either a single or
multiple unit installation.These clearances are the
minimum distances necessary for adequate service,
cataloged unit capacity, and peak operating efficiency.
Providing less than the recommended clearances may
result in condenser coil starvation, “short-circulating” of
exhaust and economizer airflows, or recirculation of hot
condenser air.

(VAV), supply air temperature low limiting (CV), supply air
tempering (CV/VAV). It is mounted in the supply air
discharge section of the unit and is connected to the RTM.
RT-SVX24K-EN13
General Information
Return Air Temperature Sensor
An analog input device used with a return humidity sensor
on CV and VAV applications when the comparative
enthalpy option is ordered. It monitors the return air
temperature and compares it to the outdoor temperature
to establish which temperature is best suited to maintain
the cooling requirements. It is mounted in the return air
section and is connected to the ECEM.
Leaving EvaporatorTemperature Sensor
An analog input device used with CV and VAV applications
that monitors the refrigerant temperature inside the
evaporator coil to prevent coil freezing. It is attached to the
suction line near the evaporator coil and is connected to
the MCM. It is factory set for 30°F and has an adjustable
range of 25°F to 35°F.The compressors are staged “Off” as
necessary to prevent icing. After the last compressor stage
has been turned “Off”, the compressors will be allowed to
restart once the evaporator temperature rises 10°F above
the“coil frost cutout temperature” and the minimum three
minute “Off” time has elapsed.
Entering Evaporator Temperature Sensors
Analog input devices used with CV and VAV applications.
This device is used in conjunction with the Leaving
EvaporatorTemperature Sensor to prevent the unit from
running compressors with insufficient charge.
Filter Switch
A binary input device used on CV and VAV applications
that measures the pressure differential across the unit
filters. It is mounted in the filter section and is connected
to the RTM. 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 decrease
to 0.4" w.c.The switch differential can be field adjusted
between 0.17" w.c. to 5.0" w.c. ± 0.05" w.c.
Leaving Recovery Exhaust Temp Sensor
Analog input device used on CV andVAV applications with
Energy Recovery option installed. It is used to monitor the
temperature of the leaving air on the Exhaust Fan side of
the energy recovery wheel.This temperature is used to
determine if the temperature of the wheel is too cold as
compared to the Recovery Frost Avoidance Setpoint.The
result is used to determine when to enable energy wheel
frost avoidance functions.
Supply, Exhaust and Return Fan Airflow
Proving Switches
Supply Airflow Proving Switch is a binary input device
used on CV and VAV applications to signal the RTM when
the supply fan is operating. It is located in the supply fan
section of the unit and is connected to the RTM. During a
request for fan operation, if the differential switch is
detected to be open for 40 consecutive seconds;
compressor operation is turned “Off”, heat operation is
turned “Off”, the request for supply fan operation is turned
“Off” and locked out, exhaust dampers (if equipped) are
“closed”, economizer dampers (if equipped) are “closed”,
and a manual reset diagnostic is initiated.
Exhaust/return Airflow Proving Switch is a binary input
device used on all rooftop units equipped with an exhaust
fan. It is located in the exhaust/return fan section of the unit
and is connected to the RTM. During a request for fan
operation, if the differential switch is detected to be open
for 40 consecutive seconds, the economizer is closed to
the minimum position setpoint, the request for exhaust
fan operation is turned “Off” and locked out, and a manual
reset diagnostic is initiated.The fan failure lockout can be
reset at the Human Interface located in the unit control
panel, byTracer, or by cycling the control power to the
RTM Off/On.

A selectable mode of operation through the Human
Interface. It alternates the starting between the first
compressor of each refrigeration circuit. Only the
compressor banks will switch, not the order of the
compressors within a bank, providing the fir st compressor
in each circuit had been activated during the same request
for cooling.
Charge Isolation
During the OFF cycle, most of the charge is isolated
between the compressor (internal) discharge check valves
and liquid line solenoid valve.This reduces the OFF cycle
charge migration, and liquid feedback during subsequent
startup.The liquid line solenoid is energized (opened) with
the start of the circuit compressor.
Supply, Exhaust and Return Fan Circuit
Breakers
The supply fan and exhaust fan motors are protected by
circuit breakers or fuses. They will trip and interrupt the
power supply to the motors if the current exceeds the
breaker's “must trip” value.The rooftop module (RTM)
will shut all system functions “Off” when an open fan
proving switch is detected.
Low Pressure Control
Low Pressure Control is accomplished using a binary input
device on CV andVAV applications. LP cutouts are located
on the suction lines near the scroll compressors.The LPC
contacts are designed to close when the suction pressure
exceeds 41 ± 4 psig. If the LP control is open when a
compressor is requested to start, none of the compressors
on that circuit will be allowed to operate.They are locked
out and a manual reset diagnostic is initiated.
The LP cutouts are designed to open if the suction
pressure approaches 22 ± 4 psig. If the LP cutout opens
after a compressor has started, all compressors operating
on that circuit will be turned off immediately and will
14RT-SVX24K-EN
General Information
remain off for a minimum of three minutes. If the LP cutout
trips four consecutive times during the first three minutes
of operation, the compressors on that circuit will be locked
out and a manual reset diagnostic is initiated.
Saturated Condenser Temperature Sensors
Analog input devices used on CV and VAV applications
mounted inside a temperature well located on a
condenser tube bend.They monitor the saturated
refrigerant temperature inside the condenser coil and are
connected to the MCM. As the saturated refrigerant
temperature varies due to operating conditions, the
condenser fans are cycled “On” or “Off” as required to
maintain acceptable operating pressures.
Head Pressure Control
Accomplished using two saturated refrigerant
temperature sensors on CV and VAV applications. During
a request for compressor operation, when the condensing
temperature rises above the “lower limit” of the
controlband, the Compressor Module (MCM) starts
sequencing condenser fans “On”. If the operating fans can
not bring the condensing temperature to within the
controlband, more fans are turned on. As the saturated
condensing temperature approaches the lower limit of the
controlband, fans are sequenced “Off”.
The minimum “On/Off” time for condenser fan staging is
5.2 seconds. If the system is operating at a given fan stage
below 100% for 30 minutes and the saturated condensing
temperature is above the “efficiency check point” setting,
a fan stage will be added. If the saturated condensing
temperature falls below the “efficiency check point”
setting, the fan control will remain at the present operating
stage. If a fan stage cycles four times within a 10 minute
period, the control switches from controlling to the “lower
limit” to a temperature equal to the “lower limit” minus
the “temporary low limit suppression” setting. It will
utilize this new “low limit” temperature for one hour to
reduce condenser fan short cycling.
For evaporative condensing units, head pressure is
monitored with pressure transducers attached to the
saturated condensing line and converted to a temperature
by the MPM.This temperature is used to control the
variable speed fan and sump pump. When the
temperature rises above the upper limit (120°F) the sump
pump is energized. If the condensing temperature drops
below the lower limit (70°F) the sump pump is deenergized.
High Pressure Limit Controls
High Pressure controls are located on the discharge lines
near the scroll compressors. They are designed to open
when the discharge pressure approaches 650 ± 10 psig.
The controls reset automatically when the discharge
pressure decreases to approximately 550 ± 10 psig.
However, the compressors on that circuit are locked out
and a manual reset diagnostic is initiated after the fourth
occurrence of a high pressure condition.
Outdoor Air Humidity Sensor
An analog input device used on CV and VAV applications
with 100% economizer. It monitors the outdoor humidity
levels for economizer operation. It is mounted in the
outside air intake section and is connected to the RTM.
Return Air Humidity Sensor
An analog input device used on CV and VAV applications
with the comparative enthalpy option. It monitors the
return air humidity level and compares it to the outdoor
humidity level to establish which conditions are best
suited to maintain the cooling requirements. It is mounted
in the return air section and is connected to the ECEM.
Space Humidity Sensor
Analog input device used on CV andVAV applications with
modulating dehumidification option and/or
humidification field installed option. It is used to monitor
the humidity level in the space and compared to
dehumidification and humidification setpoints to maintain
space humidity requirements. It is field mounted in the
space and connected to the RTM.
Status/Annunciator Output
An internal function within the RTM module on CV and
VAV applications that provides:
c. diagnostic and mode status signals to the remote
panel (LEDs) and to the Human Interface
d. control of the binary Alarm output on the RTM
e. control of the binary outputs on the GBAS module
to inform the customer of the operational status
and/or diagnostic conditions
Low Ambient Compressor Lockout
Utilizes an analog input device for CV and VAV
applications. When the system is configured for low
ambient compressor lockout, the compressors are not
allowed to operate if the temperature of the outside air
falls below the lockout setpoint. When the temperature
rises 5°F above the lockout setpoint, the compressors are
allowed to operate.The factory preset is 50°F.
These compressors come equipped with a protection
module that monitors phase loss, phase sequencing and
motor temperature.
Space PressureTransducer
An analog input device used on CV and VAV applications
with the Statitrac option. It modulates the exhaust
dampers to keep the space pressure within the building to
a customer designated controlband. It is mounted on the
bottom support below the return damper blade assembly
and is connected to the ECEM. Field supplied pneumatic
tubing must be connected between the space being
controlled and the transducer assembly.

General Information
MorningWarm-Up—Zone Heat
When a system changes from an unoccupied to an
occupied mode, or switches from STOPPED to AUTO, or
power is applied to a unit with the MWU option, the heater
in the unit or external heat will be brought on if the space
temperature is below the MWU setpoint.The heat will
remain on until the temperature reaches the MWU
setpoint.
If the unit is VAV, then the VAV box/unocc relay will
continue to stay in the unoccupied position and the VFD
output will stay at 100% during the MWU mode.When the
MWU setpoint is reached and the heat mode is terminated,
then the VAV box/unocc relay will switch to the occupied
mode and the VFD output will be controlled by the duct
static pressure. During Full Capacity MWU the economizer
damper is held closed for as long as it takes to reach
setpoint. During Cycling Capacity MWU the economizer
damper is allowed to go to minimum position after one
Compressor Motor Winding Thermostats
A thermostat is embedded in the motor windings of each
Scroll compressor. Each thermostat is designed to open if
the motor windings exceed approximately 221°F. The
thermostat will reset automatically when the winding
temperature decreases to approximately 181°F.
Rapid cycling, loss of charge, abnormally high suction
temperatures, or the compressor running backwards
could cause the thermostat to open. During a request for
compressor operation, if the Compressor Module detects
a problem outside of normal parameters, it turns any
operating compressor(s) on that circuit “Off”, locks out all
compressor operation for that circuit, and initiates a
manual reset diagnostic (compressor trip).
These compressors come equipped with a protection
module that monitors phase loss, phase sequencing and
motor temperature.

Freezestat
A binary input device used on CV and VAV units with
Hydronic Heat. It is mounted in the heat section and
connected to the Heat Module. If the temperature of the air

Compressor Circuit Breakers
The Scroll Compressors are protected by circuit breakers
whichinterrupt the power supply to the compressors if the
current exceeds the breakers “must trip” value. During a
request for compressor operation, if the Compressor
Module detects a problem outside normal parameters, it
turns any operating compressor(s) on that circuit “Off”,
locks out all compressor operation for that circuit, and
initiates a manual reset diagnostic (compressor trip).
Constant Volume (CV) Units
Zone Temperature—Cooling
Relies on input from a sensor located directly in the space,
while a system is in the occupied “Cooling” mode. It
modulates the economizer (if equipped) and/or stages the
mechanical cooling “On and Off” as required to maintain
the zone temperature to within the cooling setpoint
deadband.
Zone Temperature—Heating
Relies on input from a sensor located directly in the space,
while a system is in the occupied “Heating” mode or an
unoccupied period, to stage the heat “on and off” or to
modulate the heating valve (hydronic heat only) as
required to maintain the zone temperature to within the
heating setpoint deadband.The supply fan will be
requested to operate any time there is a request for heat.
On gas heat units, the fan will continue to run for 60
seconds after the furnace is turned off.
Supply Air Tempering
On CV units equipped with staged gas heat, if the supply
air temperature falls 10°F below the occupied heating
setpoint temperature while the heater is “Off”, the first
stage of heat will be turned “On”.The heater is turned “Off”
when the supply air temperature reaches 10°F above the
occupied heating setpoint temperature.
Variable Air Volume (VAV) Units
Occupied Cooling—Supply Air Temperature
When a VAV unit is in the occupied mode, the supply air
temperature will be controlled to the customer specified
supply air cooling setpoint by modulating the economizer
and/or staging the mechanical cooling “On and Off” as
required.The changeover relay contacts must be open, or
BAS command set to auto or cool, for the cooling to
operate.
DaytimeWarm-up
On VAV units equipped with heat, if the zone temperature
falls below the daytime warm-up initiate temperature
during the occupied mode, the system will switch to full
airflow. During this mode, theVAV box/unocc relay will be
energized (this is to signal the VAV boxes to go to 100%).
After theVAV box max stroke time has elapsed (factory set
at 6 minutes), the VFD output will be set to 100%.The
airflow will be at 100% and the heat will be turned on to
control to the occupied heating setpoint.
When the zone temperature reaches the daytime warm-up
termination setpoint, the heat will be turned off, the relay
will be de-energized, releasing the VAV boxes, the VFD
output will go back to duct static pressure control and the
unit will return to discharge air control. If the occ zone
heating setpoint is less than the DWU terminate setpoint,
the heat will turn off when the occ zone heat setpoint is
reached, but it will stay in DWU mode and cycle the heat
to maintain setpoint.
Unoccupied Heating—Zone Temperature
When aVAV unit is equipped with gas, electric, or hydronic
heat and is in the unoccupied mode, the zone temperature
will be controlled to within the customer specified setpoint
deadband. During an unoccupied mode for aVAV unit, the
VAV box/unocc relay will be in the unoccupied position
and theVFD output will be at 100%.This means that if there
is a call for heat (or cool) and the supply fan comes on, it
will be at full airflow and the VAV boxes in the space will
need to be 100% open as signaled by the VAV box/unocc
relay.
Supply Air Tempering
On VAV units equipped with “Modulating Heat”,ifthe
supply air temperature falls 10°F below the supply air
temperature setpoint, the heat will modulate to maintain
the supply air temperature to within the low end of the
setpoint deadband.
Occupied Heating—Supply Air Temperature
When a VAV unit is equipped with “Modulating Heat”, and
the system is in an occupied mode, and the field supplied
changeover relay contacts have closed or per a BAS
command, the supply air temperature will be controlled to
the customer specified supply air heating setpoint. It will
remain in the heating status until the changeover relay
contacts are opened or BAS has released the heat
command.

Supply Duct Static Pressure Control
(Occupied)
The RTM relies on input from the duct pressure transducer
when a unit is equipped with aVariable Frequency Drive to
set the supply fan speed to maintain the supply duct static
pressure to within the static pressure setpoint deadband.
The transducer compares supply duct pressure to ambient
pressure. Refer to Figure 43, p. 67.

Unit Control Modules
Unit control modules are microelectronic circuit boards
designed to perform specific unit functions.The control
modules, through proportional/integral control
algorithms, provide the best possible comfort level for the
customer.They are mounted in the control panel and are
factory wired to their respective internal components.
The control modules receive and interpret information
from other unit modules, sensors, remote panels, and
customer binary contacts to satisfy the applicable request
for economizing, mechanical cooling, heating, and
ventilation. Figure 9 illustrates the typical location of each
designated module.
RT-SVX24K-EN19
General Information

Single Zone Variable Air Volume
(SZVAV) Only
The IntelliPak controls platform will support Single Zone
VAV as an optional unit control type in order to meet
ASHRAE 90.1. The basic control will be a hybrid VAV/CV
configured unit that provides discharge temperature
control to a varying discharge air temperature target
setpoint based on the space temperature and/or humidity
conditions. Concurrently, the unit will control and optimize
the supply fan speed to maintain the zone temperature to
a zone temperature setpoint.
Supply Fan Output Control
Units configured for Single Zone VAV control will utilize
the same supply fan output control scheme as on
traditional VAV units except the VFD signal will be based
on zone heating and cooling demand instead of the supply
air pressure.
VFD Control
Single Zone VAV units will be equipped with a VFDcontrolled supply fan which will be controlled via a 010VDC signal from the Rooftop Module (RTM). With the
RTM supply fan output energized and the RTM VFD output
at 0VDC, the fan speed output is 37% (22Hz) from the VFD
by default; and at 10VDC the fan speed output is 100%
(60Hz).The control scales the 0-10VDC VFD output from
the RTM linearly to control between the 37-100% range.
The VFD will modulate the supply fan motor speed,
accelerating or decelerating as required to maintain the
zone temperature to the zone temperature setpoint.When
subjected to high ambient return conditions the VFD will
reduce its output frequency to maintain operation. Bypass
control is offered to provide full nominal airflow in the
event of drive failure.
Ventilation Control
Units configured for Single Zone VAV control will require
special handling of the OA Damper Minimum Position
control in order to compensate for the non-linearity of
airflow associated with the variable supply fan speed and
damper combinations. Units configured for TRAQ with or
without DCV will operate identically to traditional units
with no control changes.
Space Pressure Control
For units configured with Space Pressure Control with or
without Statitrac, the new schemes implemented for
economizer minimum position handling require changes
to the existing Space Pressure Control scheme in order to
20RT-SVX24K-EN
General Information
prevent over/under pressurization.The overall scheme
will remain very similar to VAV units with Space Pressure
Control with the exception of the dynamic Exhaust Enable
Setpoint.
For SZVAV an Exhaust Enable Setpoint must be selected
during the 100% Fan Speed Command. Once selected, the
difference between the Exhaust Enable Setpoint and
Design OA Damper Minimum Position at 100% Fan Speed
Command will be calculated.The difference calculated will
be used as an offset and added to the Active Building
Design OA Minimum PositionTarget in order to calculate
the dynamic Exhaust EnableTarget, which will be used
throughout the Supply Fan Speed/OA Damper Position
range.
The Exhaust EnableTarget could be above or below the
Active Building Design OA Minimum PositionTarget
Setpoint, based on the Active Exhaust Enable Setpoint
being set above or below the Building Design Minimum
Position at 100% Fan Speed Command. Note that an
Exhaust Enable Setpoint of 0% will result in the same effect
on Exhaust Fan control as on VAV applications with and
without Statitrac.
Occupied Cooling Operation
For normal cooling operation, cooling capacity will be
staged or modulated in order to meet the calculated
discharge air target setpoint. If the current active cooling
capacity is controlling the discharge air within the
deadband, no additional cooling capacity change will be
requested. As the Discharge Air Temperature rises above
the deadband, the algorithm will request additional
capacity as required (additional compressors or
economizer).As the Discharge AirTemperature falls below
the deadband, the algorithm will request a reduction in
active capacity.
Default Economizer Operation
By default, the unit will be setup to optimize the minimum
supply fan speed capability during Economizer Only
operation. If the economizer is able to meet the demand
alone, due to desirable ambient conditions, the supply fan
speed will be allowed to increase above the minimum
prior to utilizing mechanical cooling if discharge air
setpoint falls below the discharge air Lower Limit
(Cooling) setpoint.
Unoccupied Mode
In Unoccupied mode the unit will utilize setback setpoints,
0% Minimum OA Damper position, and Auto Fan Mode
operation as on normal CV units.The Supply Fan speed,
and cooling and modulating types of heat, will be
controlled to the discharge air target setpoint as is done
during occupied periods.The Supply fan speed during
staged heat control will be forced to 100% as on normal CV
units.
Occupied Heating Operation
Occupied heating operation has two separate control
sequences; staged and modulated. All staged heating
types will drive the supply fan to maximum flow and stage
heating to control to the Zone Heating Setpoint. For units
with Hydronic and Gas heat, modulated SZVAV Heating.
On an initial call for heating, the supply fan will drive to the
minimum heating airflow.
On an additional call for heating, the heat will control in
order to meet the calculated discharge air target setpoint.
As the load in the zone continues to request heat
operation, the supply fan will ramp-up while the control
maintains the heating discharge air temperature. Heating
can be configured for either the energy saving SZVAV
Heating solution as described above, or the traditional,
less efficient CV Heating solution.
Compressor (DX) Cooling
Compressor control and protection schemes will function
identical to that of a traditional unit. Normal compressor
proving and disable input monitoring will remain in effect
as well as normal 3-minute minimum on, off, and interstage timers. Also, all existing head pressure control
schemes will be in effect.
Cooling Sequence
If the control determines that there is a need for active
cooling capacity in order to meet the calculated discharge
air target setpoint, once supply fan proving has been
made, the unit will begin to stage compressors
accordingly. Note that the compressor staging order will
be based on unit configuration and compressor lead/lag
status.
Once the discharge air target setpoint calculation has
reached the Minimum Setpoint and compressors are
being utilized to meet the demand, as the discharge air
target setpoint value continues to calculate lower the
algorithm will begin to ramp the supply fan speed up
toward 100%. Note that the supply fan speed will remain
at the compressor stage’s associated minimum value (as
described below) until the discharge air target setpoint
value is calculated below the discharge air temperature
Minimum Setpoint (limited discharge air target setpoint).
As the cooling load in the zone decreases the zone cooling
algorithm will reduce the speed of the fan down to
minimum per compressor stage and control the
compressors accordingly. As the compressors begin to
de-energize, the supply fan speed will fall back to the
Cooling Stage’s associated minimum fan speed, but not
below. As the load in the zone continues to drop, cooling
capacity will be reduced in order to maintain the discharge
air within the ± ½ discharge air target deadband.
Fault Detection and Diagnostics
Fault Detection of the Outdoor Air Damper will be
evaluated based on the commanded position of the
damper compared to the feedback position of the damper.
RT-SVX24K-EN21
