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.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices!
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are
important to the environment, our customers, and the air
conditioning industry. All technicians who handle
refrigerants must be certified.The Federal Clean Air Act
(Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling,
reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain
refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these
service procedures. In addition, some states or
municipalities may have additional requirements that
must also be adhered to for responsible management of
refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.
:
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified
personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field
wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To
avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements
for field wiring installation and grounding as described
in NEC and your local/state electrical codes. Failure to
follow code could result in death or serious injury.

accordance with NFPA 70E or other country-specific
requirements for arc flash protection, PRIOR to
servicing the unit.
Failure to follow recommendations could result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Risk of Roof Collapsing!
Confirm with a structural engineer that the roof
structure is strong enough to support the combined
weight of the roofcurb and the unit. Refer to “Unit
Dimensions & Weight Information,” p. 26 for typical
unit and curb weights. Failure to ensure proper
structural roof support could cause the roof to collapse,
which could result in death or serious injury and
property damage.

Overview of Manual
This booklet describes proper installation, start-up,
operation, and maintenance procedures for 20 through
130Ton rooftop air conditioners designed for Constant
Volume (CV), Single Zone VAV (SZVAV), and Variable Air
Volume (VAV) applications. By carefully reviewing the
information within this manual and following the
instructions, the risk of improper operation and/or
component damage will be minimized.
These units are equipped with electronic Unit Control
Modules (UCM) which provides operating functions that
are significantly different than conventional units. Refer to
the “Start-Up” and “Test Mode” procedures within this
Installation, Operation, & Maintenance manual and the
latest edition of the appropriate programming manual for
CV or VAV applications before attempting to operate or
service this equipment.
Note: The procedures discussed in this manual should
only be performed by qualified, experienced HVAC
technicians.
Note: One copy of the appropriate service literature ships
inside the control panel of each unit.
It is important that periodic maintenance be performed to
help assure trouble free operation. Should equipment
failure occur, contact a qualified service organization with
qualified, experienced HVAC technicians to properly
diagnose and repair this equipment.

difference exceeds a Human Interface selectable setpoint
value.
Leaving EvaporatorTemperature Sensor
(3RT14 and 3RT15)
An analog input device used to monitor 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.
Filter Switch (3S21 and 3S58)
This binary input device measures the pressure
differential across the unit filters. It is mounted in the filter
section and is connected to the RTM (1U48). 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.

RT-SVX36K-EN15
Supply and Exhaust Airflow Proving Switches
(3S68 and 3S69)
3S68 is a binary input device used 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 (1U48).
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.
3S69 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
(1U48). 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's control
panel, byTracer, or by cycling the control power to the
RTM (1S70 Off/On).
Lead-Lag
Is a standard mode of operation on 20 thru 130Ton units.
It alternates the starting between the first compressor of
General Information
each refrigeration circuit. On 40 - 89 Ton units only the
compressor banks will switch, not the order the
compressors within a bank, providing the first compressor
in each circuit had been activated during the same request
for cooling. Lead lag is not available with variable speed
compressor.
Supply and Exhaust/Return Fan Circuit
Breakers (with 1CB1 and 1CB2)
The supply fan and exhaust fan motors are protected by
circuit breakers 1CB1 and 1CB2 respecti vely for 208 -230 V
applications.They will trip and interrupt the power supply
to the motors if the current exceeds the breaker's “must
trip” value. For 460 -575 V applications, fan motors will be
protected with manual motor protectors.The rooftop
module (RTM) will shut all system functions “Off” when an
open fan proving switch is detected.
Manual Motor Protectors (380V through 575V
Only)
Manual motor protectors will be used as branch circuit
protection for compressors and supply fan motors.These
devices are capable of providing both overload and shortcircuit protection. Before operating, the manual motor
protector must be switched with the rotary on/off switch to
the “ON” position and the overload setpoint dial must be
set to the appropriate rating of the motor.
Important: In order to avoid nuisance trips, the
overload setpoint dial must be adjusted to
the following calculated value:
Overload Setting = (Motor FLA)
Overload Setting = (Compressor RLA) x 1.12
Return Plenum Pressure High Limit
The Return Plenum Pressure High Limit Setpoint has a
non-adjustable value of 3.5 iwc. When the return plenum
pressure exceeds the Return Plenum Pressure High Limit
for more than 1 second, a “Return Pressure shutdown”
signal is sent, and an automatically resetting diagnostic is
set. After the return fan is off, the Return Pressure
Shutdown signal is cancelled.The unit will not be allowed
to restart within 15 seconds of shutdown. Three
consecutive occurrences of the Return Plenum Pressure
exceeding the Return Plenum Pressure Limit will cause a
manual reset diagnostic.The occurrence counter will be
reset every time the unit goes through a reset, transitions
from Stop to Auto, or transitions into and out of Occupied
or Unoccupied control.
Low Pressure Control (LPC)
LPC is accomplished using a binary input device. 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 25± 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
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 CondenserTemperature Sensors
(2RT1 and 2RT2)
These analog input devices are 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 SCM/MCM
(1U49). 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. For evaporative condensers, this
value is determined by the MPM whichconvertsa pressure
to a temperature value that is sent to the MCM to be used
for head pressure control.
Head Pressure Control (HPC)
This is accomplished using one saturated refrigerant
temperature sensors per refrigeration circuit. During a
request for compressor operation, when the condensing
temperature rises above the “lower limit” of the control
band, the Compressor Module (SCM/MCM) starts
sequencing condenser fans “On”. If the operating fans can
not bring the condensing temperature to within the
control band, more fans are turned on.
As the saturated condensing temperature approaches the
lower limit of the control band, 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 control the sump pump.
When the temperature rises above the Upper Limit (120F)
the Sump Pump is energized. If the Condensing
Temperature drops below the Lower Limit (70F) the Sump
Pump is de-energized.
16RT-SVX36K-EN
General Information
High Pressure Controls (HPC)
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.
If the HPC opens after a compressor has started, all
compressors on that circuit will be turned off immediately
and will remain off for a minimum of 15 minutes. If the HPC
trips four consecutive times during the first 3 minutes of
operation, the compressors on that circuit will be locked
out and a manual reset diagnostic is initiated.
Variable speed compressor circuits use a different HPC
switch with 24 VDC contacts input to the inverter.
Otherwise, the variable speed HPC circuit is functionally
the same as described above.
High Compressor Pressure Differential
Protection
20-75T units provides High Compressor Pressure
Differential protection for the equipment , also referred to
as Low VI compressor protection.This protection is active
on a per circuit basis and prevents scroll involute stresses
from exceeding levels that could cause compressor
damage.
Two levels of control are implemented to support the High
Compressor Pressure Differential protection: Limit and
Diagnostic trips.
During a Limit trip, the controller will determine when the
pressure differential has exceeded predetermined limits
and will then take action by either limiting the compressor
capacity or by unloading/reducing the compressor
capacity on that circuit. Once the pressure differential
returns to an acceptable level, the circuit will become
unlimited if still needed for temperature control.
During a Diagnostic trip, the controller will determine
when the pressure differential has exceeded acceptable
levels for the equipment and will then de-energize the
circuit completely. Once the pressure differential returns
to an acceptable level, the circuit will be allowed to reenergize if still needed for temperature control. If four
Diagnostic trips occur within the same request for
compressor operation, the circuit will be locked out on a
manual reset diagnostic.
If actively limiting or controlling compressor outputs
“OFF” due to a High Compressor Pressure Differential
event, the Limit/Diagnostic event will be found under
Status/ Compressor Status Submenu at the Human
Interface. During a diagnostic trip a diagnostic will be
indicated at the Human Interface.
Outdoor Air Humidity Sensor (3U63)
This is an analog input device used on applications with
100% economizer. It monitors the outdoor humidity levels

This is an analog input device used on 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 (1U52).
Space/Duct Humidity Sensor (5U108)
Analog input device used on applications with modulating
dehumidification option and/or humidification field
installed option. It is used to monitor the humidity level in
the space and for comparison with the dehumidification
and humidification setpoints to maintain space humidity
requirements. It is field mounted in the space and
connected to the RTM (1TB16).
Low Ambient Option 0° Fahrenheit (2U84,
2U85)
Air cooled units ordered with Low Ambient 0° Fahrenheit
will control the low ambient dampers (2U84, 2U85) to the
programmable Low Ambient Control Point based on
saturated condenser temperature during compressor
operation.
Status/Annunciator Output
This is an internal function within the RTM (1U48) module
that provides;
a. diagnostic and mode status signals to the remote
panel (LEDs) and to the Human Interface.
b. control of the binary Alarm output on the RTM.
c. 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. 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 setpoint for units
without the low ambient option is 50°F. For units with the
low ambient option, the setpoint is 0°F. The setpoints are
adjustable at the Human Interface inside the unit control
panel.
Space Pressure Transducer (3U62)
This is an analog input device that modulates the exhaust
damper or exhaustVFD to keep the space pressure within
the building to a customer designated control band. It is
RT-SVX36K-EN17
General Information
mounted in the filter section just above the exhaust
damper actuator and is connected to the ECEM (1U52).
Field supplied pneumatic tubing must be connected
between the space being controlled and the transducer
assembly.
MorningWarm-Up - Zone Heat (CV and VAV)
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 hour of operation if setpoint has not been
reached.
Compressor Motor Winding Thermostats
CSHD compressors (20-70 Ton) Air-Cooled and (2480 Ton) Evaporative Condensers
The compressors contains an internal line break overload
whichstops the compressors under a number of operating
conditions that cause excessi ve motor temperature.These
include rapid cycling, loss of charge, abnormally high
suction temperatures, excessive amperage, phase loss
and low voltage
PTC sensors are embedded in the motor windings of each
Scroll compressor. These sensors are wired to the
protection module which protects the motor from over
temperature that can occur under a number of abnormal
operating conditions.These include rapid cycling, loss of
charge, abnormally high suction temperatures, low
voltage and excessive amperage.
During a request for compressor operation, if the
Compressor Module (SCM) detects a problem outside of
normal parameters, it turns any operating compressor(s)
in that circuit “Off”, locks out all compressor operation for
that circuit, and initiates a manual reset diagnostic.
VZH Variable Speed Compressors
Over current and over torque protection for VZH
compressors are provided by theTRV200 inverter. VZH
over temperature protection is not required.
Freeze Avoidance
FreezeAvoidanceis a feature which helps prevent freezing
of hydronic heat coils and avoiding nuisance hydronic
heat freezestat trips.This is accomplished by opening
inactive hydronic heat valve(s) at low ambient
temperatures.
Typically, when the unit is in a mode where the supply fan
is off, the OA temperature is monitored. If it falls below 45
ºF (5 degrees above the freezestat), the hydronic heat
valve(s) are opened to the Standby Freeze Avoidance
Position. When the OA temperature rises above 47 ºF,
occupied mode is requested, or the supply fan is
requested ON the hydronic heat valve(s) release to normal
control.
When the supply fan is commanded on, the OA dampers
will remain closed for one minute to remove the heat from
the hydronic heating coil.This prevents freezestat trips
and falsely loading the supply air temperature causing
premature compressor operation.This function is
disabled if the Standby FreezeAvoidance Position is set to
0%.
Supply Air Temperature Low Limit
Uses the supply air temperature sensor input to modulate
the economizer damper to minimum position in the event
the supply air temperature falls below the occupied
heating setpoint temperature.
Freezestat (4S12)
This is a binary input device used on units with Hydronic
Heat. It is mounted in the heat section and connected to the
Heat Module (1U50). If the temperature of the air entering
the heating coil falls to 40°F, the normally open contacts on
the freezestat closes signalling the Heat Module (1U50)
and the Rooftop Module (RTM) to:
•Drive the Hydronic Heat Actuator (4U15) to the full
open position.
•Turn the supply fan “Off”.
•Closes the outside air damper;
•Turns “On” the SERVICE light at the Remote Panel.
•Initiates a “Freezestat” diagnostic to the Human
Interface.
High Duct Temp Thermostats (Optional 3S16,
3S17)
These are binary input devices used with a Trane
Communication Interface Module (TCI).They provide
“high limit” shutdown of the unit and requires a manual
reset.They are factory set to open if the supply air
temperature reaches 240°F, or the return air temperature
reaches135°F. Once tripped, the thermostat can be reset by
pressing the button located on the sensor once the air
temperature has decreased approximately 25°F below the
cutout point.
The Scroll Compressors are protected by circuit breakers
for 208 - 230 volt units which interrupt the power supply to
the compressors if the current exceeds the breakers“must
trip” value. For 460 -575 volt units the Scroll compressors
will be protected with Manual Motor protectors. During a
request for compressor operation, if the Compressor
Module detects a problem outside of it's 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.
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 requested 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 ZoneTemperature Control units, if the supply air
temperature falls 10°F below the zone temperature
setpoint up to half of the available heat capacity will be
brought on until the supply air temperature reaches 10°F
above zone temperature setpoint.
Single Zone Variable Air Volume
(SZVAV) Only
The IntelliPak controls platform supports Single ZoneVAV
as an optional unit control type in order to meet ASHRAE
90.1.The basic control is 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 VFD Control
Single Zone VAV units are equipped with a VFD-controlled
supply fan which is controlled via a 0-10VDC signal from
the Rooftop Module (RTM). With the RTM supply fan
output energized and the RTMVFD output at 0VDC, the fan
speed output is 37% from the VFD by default; and at 10VDC
the fan speed output is 100%.The control scales the VDC
output from the RTM linearly to control fan speed output
between 37-100%.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 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 use the same sequence of operation as VAV
or CV units.
Space Pressure Control
For SZVAV units configured with or without Space
Pressure Control (StatiTrac), the Exhaust Enable Setpoint
(based on the outside air damper position) is used when
the Supply Fan is at 100%. A Target setpoint is internally
calculated when the supply fan is at less than 100%. The
exhaust fan is allowed to start when theTarget setpoint is
reached. If the Exhaust Enable Setpoint is set to 0%, then
the exhaust fan will be allowed to start whenever the
Active Minimum position is reached regardless of supply
fan speed.
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.
RT-SVX36K-EN19
General Information
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
If the unit has 2 Stage Gas or Electric Heat, the unit will
drive the supply fan to maximum flow and stage heating
to control to the Zone Heating Setpoint. If the unit has
Modulating Gas or Hydronic heat, the supply fan VFD will
modulate as needed. 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. If the unit has
Modulating Gas or Hydronic heat, heating can be
configured for either the energy saving SZVAV Heating
solution as described above, or with the supply fan
required to ramp to 100% during heating.
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, the unit will begin to stage or modulate
compressors accordingly. Once the discharge air target
setpoint calculation has reached the Minimum Setpoint
and compressors are being utilized to meet the demand,
the control will begin to ramp the supply fan speed up
toward 100% to meet any additional cooling demand.
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
stage or modulate back, 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 dischargeair target deadband.
Variable Air Volume (VAV) Units
Occupied Heating - Supply Air Temperature
When a DischargeTemperature Control unit is equipped
with “Modulating Heat”, and the system is in an occupied
mode, and the field supplied changeover relay contacts
(5K87) have closed, 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.
Occupied Cooling - Supply Air Temperature
When a DischargeTemperature Control unit is in the
occupied mode, the supply air temperature will be
controlled to the customers 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 on units with
“Modulating Heat” for the cooling to operate.
DaytimeWarm-up (VAV Only)
On DischargeTemperature Control 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, the
VAV box/unocc relay, RTM K3, will be energized (this is to
signal the VAV boxes to go to 100%). After the VAV 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 K3 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 a DischargeTemperature Control unit is equipped
with gas, electric, or hydronic heat and is in the
unoccupied mode, the zone temperature will be controlled
to the default or customer provided setpoint. During an
unoccupied mode for a VAV unit, the VAV box/unocc relay
will be in the unoccupied position and the VFD 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.
Unoccupied Cooling - Zone Temperature
When the unit is in the unoccupied mode, the zone
temperature will be controlled to the default or customer
provided unoccupied cooling setpoint. During an
unoccupied mode for a VAV unit, the VAV box/unocc relay
will be in the unoccupied position and the VFD will be at
20RT-SVX36K-EN
General Information
100%. On units with a VSPD Compressor, during
Unoccupied Cooling operation the VSPD Compressor will
be controlled at its 100% capacity as applied to the unit.
TheVSPD Compressor will be staged On/Off as a standard
staged compressor.
Supply Air Tempering
On DischargeTemperature Control units equipped with
“Modulating Heat”, if the supply air temperature falls 10°F
below the supply air temperature setpoint, the hydronic or
modulating gas heat valve will modulate to maintain the
supply air temperature to within the low end of the
setpoint deadband.

The RTM relies on input from the duct pressure transducer
when a unit is equipped with a Variable Frequency Drive.
The unit controls will raise or lower the supply fan speed
to maintain the supply duct static pressure to within the
static pressure setpoint deadband. Figure 6 below shows
the pressure transducer output voltage relationship to
input pressure.The unit is comparing supply duct
pressure to ambient (outside) pressure.The pressure
transducer input is factory piped to measure the pressure
in the discharge section of the unit. Refer to Figure 29 to
see how the transducer tubing is connected.

Space Temperature Averaging
Space temperature averaging for Constant Volume
applications is accomplished by wiring a number of
remote sensors in a series/parallel circuit.
The fewest number of sensors required to accomplish
space temperature averaging is four.The Space
Temperature Averaging with Multiple Sensors figure
illustrates a single sensor circuit (Single Zone), four
sensors wired in a series/parallel circuit (Four Zone), nine
sensors wired in a series/parallel circuit (Nine Zone). Any
number squared, is the number of remote sensors
required.

Unit control modules are microelectronic circuit boards
designed to perform specific unit functions.These
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.They
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
below illustrates the typical location of each “1U”
designated module.

eFlex Variable Speed Compressor Staging
Note: The eFlex variable speed compressor can be
manually controlled only in service test mode
through the Intellipak controller human interface.
TheTRV200 inverter keypad has been
programmed purposely to provide stop, reset, and
diagnostics functions only.This is to prevent
bypass of compressor protection functions
provided by the Intellipak control logic.
Figure 12 generally describes how the Intellipak controller
sequences the eFlex variable speed compressor as
building load increases. It is assumed that the unit is
equipped with an economizer.
At low building loads, the economizer will often meet the
building load and compressor cooling will not be required.
Then as the building load increases and the economizer no
longer can maintain setpoint, the Intellipak controller
sends a signal to the TRV200 inverter to start the variable
speed compressor (1A).TheTRV200 inverter ramps the
compressor up to 50Hz for 10 seconds to insure
compressor startup lubrication. Control is released back to
the Intellipak controller and the compressor runs at
minimum speed command (0 VDC from VSM board).
Until the building load exceeds the variable speed
compressor capacity at minimum speed, the Intellipak
compressor will cycle the variable speed compressor to
meet setpoint (4 minute minimum on/off time). However,
since variable speed unit minimum capacity is about 15%,
this transition cycling will be less than a typical fixed speed
compressor unit which may have 25% minimum capacity.
As the building load increases and eventually equals the
variable speed compressor capacity at minimum speed,
the compressor will run continuously and no longer cycle.
Then as the building load increases, the Intellipak
controller will increase compressor speed to meet the
setpoint.When the variable speed compressor eventually
reaches maximum speed and more capacity is required, a
fixed speed compressor is started while the variable speed
compressor speed is simultaneously ramped back down
to minimum. Note that capacity overlap is provided
between each stage of operation to provide continuous
capacity modulation and minimize compressor cycling
between stages.
