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.

is required in the installation process. It does not replace the detailed instructions called out in the
applicable sections of this manual.
General Unit Requirements
Downflow Models Only:
•An optional roof curb, specifically designed for the Voyager commercial rooftop units is
available from Trane. The roof curb kit must be field assembled and installed according to the
latest edition of the curb installation guide.
•Assemble and install the roof curb, including necessary gaskets. Make sure the curb is level.
•Install and secure the ductwork to the curb.
All Units:
•Check unit for shipping damage and material shortage. (Refer to "Unit inspection" section).
•Rigging the unit. Refer to Figure 12, p. 24.
•Placing the unit on curb; check for levelness. See “Roof Curb and Ductwork” on page 16.
•Ensure that the unit-to-curb seal is tight and without buckles or cracks.
•Install an appropriate drain line to the evaporator condensate drain connections, as required.
Refer to Figure 14, p. 29.
•Service Valve Option; See “Starting the Compressor” on page 98.
•Return/Fresh-air damper adjustment. Refer to “Economizer Damper Adjustment” on page 94.
•Exhaust Fan Damper Stop Adjustment. Refer to Exhaust Damper Adjustment figures,
beginning with Figure 46, p. 103.
Electrical Requirements
(SeeFigure 18, “Typical Field Power Wiring,” on page 34.)
•Verify that the electrical power supply characteristics comply with the unit nameplate
specifications.
•Inspect all control panel components; tighten any loose connections.
•Connect properly sized and protected power supply wiring to a field supplied/installed
disconnect and unit power terminal block HTB1, or to the optional unit-mounted disconnect
switch.
WARNIN G
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 codes could result in death or serious injury.
•Properly ground the unit.

Unit Dimensions and Weights
Recommended Clearances
Adequate clearance around and above each Voyager Commercial unit is required to ensure proper
operation and to allow sufficient access for servicing.
If the unit installation is higher than the typical curb elevation, a field constructed catwalk around
the unit is recommended to provide safe, easy access for maintenance and servicing. Table 1, p. 23
lists the recommended clearances for single and multiple unit installation. These clearances are
necessary to assure adequate serviceability, cataloged capacities, and peak operating efficiency.
If the clearances available on the job site appear to be inadequate, review them with your Trane
sales representative.
Roof Curb and Ductwork
The curbs for the 27.5 to 50 Ton commercial rooftop units enclose the entire unit base area. They
are referred to as "full perimeter" type curbs.
Step-by-step instructions for the curb assembly and installation with curb dimensions and curb
configuration for "A", "B", and "C" cabinets ship with each Trane accessory roof curb kit. (See the
latest edition of the curb installation guide) Follow the instructions carefully to assure proper fit
when the unit is set into place.
The S/A and R/A ductwork adjoining the roof curb must be fabricated and installed by the installing
contractor before the unit is set into place. Trane curbs include flanges around the openings to
accommodate duct attachment.
Ductwork installation recommendations are included in the instruction booklet that ships with each
Trane accessory roof curb kit.
Note: For sound consideration, cut only the holes in the roof deck for the supply and return duct
penetration. Do Not remove the roof decking from the inside perimeter of the curb.
If a Trane curb accessory kit is not used:
Horizontal Ductwork
When attaching the ductwork to a horizontal unit, provide a water tight flexible connector at the unit
to prevent noise transmission from the unit into the ductwork. Refer to figures beginning on page
17 for the S/A and R/A opening dimensions.
All outdoor ductwork between the unit and the structure should be weather proofed after
installation is completed.
If optional power exhaust is selected, an access door must be field-installed on the horizontal return
ductwork to provide access to exhaust fan motors.
a. The ductwork can be attached directly to the S/A and R/A openings. Be sure to use a flexible
duct connector at the unit.
b. For "built-up" curbs supplied by others, gaskets must be installed around the curb perimeter
flange, S/A opening, and R/A openings.
c. Insulation must be installed on the bottom of the condenser section of the unit.

Installation General Requirements
Condensate Drain Connection
Each commercial rooftop unit is equipped with one (1) 1-1/4 inch Female PVC condensate drain
connection.
Refer to Figure 11, p. 23 for the location of the connector. A condensate trap must be installed due
to the drain connection being on the "negative pressure" side of the fan. Install a P-Trap at the unit
using the guidelines in Figure 14, p. 26.
Pitch the drain line at least 1/2 inch for every 10 feet of horizontal run to assure proper condensate
flow.
Ensure that all condensate drain line installations comply with applicable building and waste
disposal codes.
Figure 14. Condensate Trap Installation
O/A Sensor & Tubing Installation
An Outside Air Pressure Sensor is shipped with all units designed to operate on variable air volume
applications and units with Statitrac™.
A duct pressure transducer and the outside air sensor is used to control the discharge duct static
pressure to within a customer-specified controlband. Refer to the illustration in Figure 15, p. 27 and
the following steps to install the sensor and the pneumatic tubing.
1. Remove the O/A pressure sensor kit located inside the fan section. The kit contains the following
items;
• an O/A static pressure sensor
• a sensor mounting bracket
• 50’ of 3/16" O.D. pneumatic tubing
• mounting hardware
2. Using two #10-32 x 1-3/4" screws provided, install the sensor's mounting bracket to the factory
provided bracket (near the fan section).
3. Using the #10-32 x 1/2" screws provided, install the O/A static pressure sensor vertically to the
sensor bracket .
4. Remove the dust cap from the tubing connector located below the sensor in the vertical
support.
26 RT-SVX34C-EN
Page 27
5. Attach one end of the 50' x 3/16" O.D. factory provided pneumatic tubing to the sensor's top port,
and the other end of the tubing to the connector in the vertical support. Discard any excess
tubing.
Units with Statitrac™
1. Open the filter access door, and locate the Statitrac Transducer Assembly illustrated in
Figure 16, p. 28. There are two tube connectors mounted on the left of the solenoid and
transducers. Connect one end of the field provided 1/4" (length 50-100 ft.) or 3/8" (length greater
than 100 ft.) O.D. pneumatic tubing for the space pressurization control to the fitting indicated
in the illustration.
2. Route the opposite end of the tubing to a suitable location inside the building. This location
should be the largest open area that will not be affected by sudden static pressure changes.
Units ordered with the factory mounted disconnect switch come equipped with an externally
mounted handle. This allows the operator to disconnect power from the unit without having to
open the control panel door. The handle location and its three positions are shown below;
ON - Indicates that the disconnect switch is closed, allowing the main power supply to be applied
at the unit.
OFF - Indicates that the disconnect switch is open, interrupting the main power supply at the unit.
OPEN COVER/RESET - Turning the handle to this position releases the handle from the disconnect
switch, allowing the control panel door to be opened.
WARNIN G
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.
Once the door has been opened, it can be closed with the handle in any one of the three positions
outlined above, provided it matches the disconnect switch position. The handle can be locked in
the "OFF" position. While holding the handle in the "OFF" position, push the spring loaded thumb
key, attached to the handle, into the base slot. Place the lock shackle between the handle and the
thumb key. This will prevent it from springing out of position.
Figure 17. Disconnect Switch
An overall layout of the field required power wiring is illustrated in Figure 18. To insure that the unit
supply power wiring is properly sized and installed, follow the guidelines outlined below.
Note: All field installed wiring must conform to NEC guidelines as well as State and Local codes.
Verify that the power supply available is compatible with the unit's name plate ratings for all
components. The available power supply must be within 10% of the rated voltage stamped on the
nameplate. Use only copper conductors to connect the 3-phase power supply to the unit.
NOTICE:
Use Copper Conductors Only!
Unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of conductors. Failure to use copper
conductors may result in equipment damage.

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 codes could result in death or serious injury.
1. Table 7, p. 32 and Table 9, p. 34 list the electrical data. The electrical service must be protected
from over current and short circuit conditions in accordance with NEC requirements. Protection
devices must be sized according to the electrical data on the nameplate. Refer to “Electrical
Wire Sizing and Protection Device Equations” on page 35 for determining:
a. The appropriate electrical service wire size based on "Minimum Circuit Ampacity" (MCA),
b. The "Maximum Over current Protection" (MOP) device.
c. The "Recommended Dual Element fuse size" (RDE).
2. If the unit is not equipped with an optional factory installed Nonfused disconnect switch, a field
supplied disconnect switch must be installed at or near the unit in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC latest edition). Refer to DSS calculations “Electrical Wire Sizing and
Protection Device Equations” on page 35 for determining correct size.
Location for the electrical service entrance is shown in the unit dimensional drawings
beginning with Figure 1, p. 17. Complete the unit's power wiring connections onto either the
main terminal block HTB1, or the factory mounted nonfused disconnect switch inside the unit
control panel.
Note: When the factory installed through-the-base option is not used, the installing contractor is
required to seal any holes made in the base of the unit to prevent water from leaking into
the building.
3. Provide proper grounding for the unit in accordance with local and national codes.
Thru-the-Base Electrical (Optional Accessory)
Liquid-tite conduit couplings are secured to the base of the unit for both power and control wiring.
Liquid-tite conduit must be field installed between the couplings and the unit control box to prevent
water leaks into the building.
Note: If the unit is set on the roof curb and temporary auxiliary heat is provided in the building,
it is recommended that the electrical and control wiring conduit opening in the control box
be temporarily sealed to provide a vapor barrier.

General Requirements
All internal gas piping for YC* rooftop units are factory installed and leak tested. Once the unit is
set into place, a gas supply line must be field installed and connected to the gas train located inside
the gas heat compartment.
WARNIN G
Hazardous Gases and Flammable Vapors!
Exposure to hazardous gases from fuel substances have been shown to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or use
of this product could cause flammable mixtures. To avoid hazardous gases and flammable
vapors follow proper installation and set up of this product and all warnings as provided in this
manual. Failure to follow all instructions could result in death or serious injury.
Access holes are provided on the unit as shown inFigure 11, p. 23 to accommodate side panel
entry. Following the guidelines listed below will enhance both the installation and operation of the
furnace.
Note: In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform with the American National
Standard Z223.1a of the National Fuel Gas Code, (latest edition).
1. To assure sufficient gas pressure at the unit, use Tab l e 16 to determine the appropriate gas pipe
size for the heating capacity listed on the unit's nameplate.
If a gas line already exists, verify th at it is siz ed la rge enough (Ta b l e 16 ) to handle the additional
furnace capacity.
2. Take all branch piping from any main gas line from the top at 90 degrees or side at 45 degrees
to prevent moisture from being drawn in with the gas.
3. Ensure that all piping connections are adequately coated with joint sealant and properly
tightened. Use a piping compound that is resistant to liquid petroleum gases.
4. Provide a drip leg near the unit.
NOTICE:
Gas Valve Damage!
Failure to use a pressure regulating device will result in incorrect gas pressures. This can cause
erratic operation due to gas pressure fluctuations as well as damage to the gas valve.
Oversizing the regulator will cause irregular pulsating flame patterns, burner rumble, potential
flame outages, as well as possible gas valve damage.
5. Install a pressure regulator at the unit that is adequate to maintain 6" w.c. for natural gas and
11" w.c. for LP gas while the unit is operating in the "High Heat" mode. A minimum inlet gas
pressure of 2.5" w.c. for natural gas and 8" w.c. for LP gas is required while operating in the
"High Heat" mode.
Note: Gas pressure in excess of 14" w.c. or 0.5 psig will damage the gas train.
WARNIN G
Hazard of Explosion!
Never use an open flame to detect gas leaks. Explosive conditions may occur. Use a leak test
solution or other approved methods for leak testing. Failure to follow recommended safe leak
test procedures could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only-damage.
6. Leak test the gas supply line using a soap-and-water solution or equivalent before connecting
it to the gas train.
50 RT-SVX34C-EN
Page 51
7. Pressure test the supply line before connecting it to the unit to prevent possible gas valve
damage and the unsafe operating conditions that will result.
Note: Do not rely on gas train shutoff valves to isolate the unit while conducting gas pressure/
leak test. These valves are not designed to withstand pressures in excess of 14" w.c. or
0.5 psig.
Connecting the Gas Supply Line to the Furnace Gas Train
Follow the steps below to complete the installation between the supply gas line and the furnace.
Refer toFigure 33, p. 52 for the Gas Train configuration.
1. Connect the supply gas piping using a "ground-joint" type union to the furnace gas train and
check for leaks.
2. Provide adequate support for the field installed gas piping to avoid stressing the gas train and
controls.
3. Adjust the inlet supply gas pressure to the recommended 6" for natural gas or 11" w.c. for LP gas.

Unit Control Modules
RTRM - ReliaTel Refrigeration Module
The RTRM is the main information receiving module. It interprets the information received from
all other unit modules, sensors, remote panels, customer binary contacts and responds by
activating the various unit components to satisfy the applicable request for economizing, cooling,
heating, exhaust, ventilation.
The RTRM configuration is set through the wire harness to function within one of four system
applications:
1. Constant Volume Supply Air with No Heat
2. Constant Volume Supply Air with Gas or Electric Heat.
3. Variable Supply Air Volume with No Heat.
4. Variable Supply Air Volume with Gas or Electric Heat.
ECA - Economizer Actuator (Optional)
The ECA monitors the mixed air temperature, return air temperature, minimum position setpoint
(local or remote), ambient dry bulb/enthalpy sensor or comparative humidity (return air humidity
against ambient humidity) sensors, if selected, to control the dampers to an accuracy of +/- 5% of
the stroke. The actuator is spring returned to the closed position any time power is lost to the unit.
It is capable of delivering up to 25 inch pounds of torque and is powered by 24 VAC. Refer to
"Cooling with an Economizer" for the proper Potentiometer settings for dry bulb/Enthalpy control.
PEA - Power Exhaust Actuator (Optional)
If the unit is ordered with tracking power exhaust, the PEA will track the economizor damper
position as long as the exhaust fan setpoint on the RTOM module has been exceeded. The actuator
limits the maximum travel of the exhaust barometric damper.
RTAM - ReliaTel Airhandler Module (Standard with VAV)
The RTAM receives information from the supply duct static pressure transducer. Attached to the
module are the supply air heating potentiometer, supply air cooling setpoint potentiometer, supply
pressure setpoint potentiometer, static pressure deadband potentiometer, morning warm-up
setpoint potentiometer, reset setpoint potentiometer, and 5 DIP switches.(SeeFigure 34, p. 54.)
The RTAM module provides a 2 to 10 VDC output to control the IGV actuator or Variable Frequency
Drive. DIP switches located on the RTAM configures the unit to use the output for IGV's or a VFD.
Customer changeover input from Low Voltage Terminal Board (LTB5) activates VAV heating. The
Supply Air Heating setpoint must be set to the desired discharge air temperature for heating. This
VAV heating mode is available only with modulating gas heat units. In this mode the gas heaters
modulate and the supply air pressure control remains active to satisfy the zone settings.
For constant volume (CV) units with modulating gas heat using a conventional thermostat, the
Discharge Air SP on the RTOM must be set to desired discharge air temperature in order for the unit
to function properly. See Figure 35, p. 54 For VAV units with modulating gas heat, the Supply Air
Heating Setpoint on the RTAM is used to control the heat setpoint in the changeover heating mode.
The RTVM (Ventillation Module) provides a 2 to 10 VDC signal to control the Exhaust Blade Actuator
in order to relieve positive building pressure. The signal output will be modulated based on the
measured values from the Space Pressure Transducer. The Space Pressure Calibration Solenoid
will ensure that the RTVM reads a differential pressure between the building pressure and
RT-SVX34C-EN55

atmospheric pressure. The Space Pressure Setpoint and Space Pressure Deadband are set by
adjusting potentiometers located on the RTVM.
The RTDM (Dehumidification Module) provides a pulsed signal output to control the Cooling and
Reheat Modulating Valves. The RTDM will also monitor the Entering Evaporator Temperature as
well as protect against a low refrigerant pressure in the reheat circuit.
DIP Switches:
Switch 1 is "OFF" for IGV's and "ON" for VFD's.
Switch 2 is "OFF" for VAV, "ON" for VAV without IGV.
Switch 3 and 4 operation are explained under "supply air temperature reset".
Switch 5 is "OFF" for DWU Disabled and "ON" for DWU Enabled.
Conventional Thermostat Connections (Standard with CV)
This feature allows conventional thermostats to be used in conjunction with the RTRM on Constant
Volume Applications only. It utilizes the conventional wiring scheme of R, Y1, Y2, W1, W2/X, and
G. Refer to Figure 21, p. 41 for conventional thermostat connections. Applicable thermostats to be
used with the conventional thermostat inputs are:

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 short-circuit 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.
56 RT-SVX34C-EN

Important: In order to avoid nuisance trips, the overload setpoint dial must be adjusted to the
following calculated value: Overload Setting = (Motor FLA) x 1.12
Overload Setting = (Compressor RLA) x 1.12
Figure 38. Manual Motor Protectors
System Operation
Economizer Operation with a Conventional Thermostat (CV only)
If the ambient conditions are suitable for economizer operation, the economizer is activated as the
1st step of cooling from Y1. The dampers are controlled to provide a supply air temperature of 50°
F +/- 5° F. If the economizer is disabled due to ambient conditions, the 1st stage of mechanical
cooling is activated.
While economizing, if an additional stage of cooling is activated from Y2, the 1st stage of
mechanical cooling is activated. If the economizer is disabled due to ambient conditions, the 2nd
stage of mechanical cooling is activated.
The supply fan is activated from the G terminal and will cycle with a call for heat or cooling if in
the "Auto" mode. It will run continuously in the "On" mode regardless of any other system demand.
On gas heat units, first and second stages are activated by the W1 and W2 terminals on the CTI.
On electric heat units, only two stages of heat are available. If the W2 terminal is activated without
activating the W1 terminal, the RTRM will bring on both stages of electric heat.
The Conventional Thermostat connections can also be utilized as a generic building automation
system interface for constant volume ICS applications. Due to the limited heating and cooling steps
when using a conventional thermostat, compressor staging will vary on units with three
compressors.
Note: If a conventional thermostat is used with a unit that has modulating gas heat, the unit will
control to the Discharge Air SP potentiometer on the RTOM when heating with a W1 call
only. The unit will go to high fire with W1 + W2.
Microelectronic Control Features
1. Anti short cycle timer (ASCT) function. Compressor operation is programmed for 3 minutes of
minimum “ON” time, and 3 minutes of minimum “OFF” time. Enhances compressor reliability,
and ensures proper oil return.
RT-SVX34C-EN57
Page 58
Startup
2. Delay between stages timer function. When combined with a standard Zone Sensor Module,
the Reliatel Refrigeration Module (RTRM) provides a 10 second minimum “ON” delay for
compressor staging.
3. Built in Fan Delay Relay function for Constant Volume Units. When the fan mode switch on the
Zone Sensor Module is set in the auto position, the RTRM provides individual supply fan timing
sequences for each system in heating and cooling. The RTRM provides different timing
sequences for Gas Heat units and Cooling only units.
4. Low ambient cooling to 0° F with Frostat™.
5. Built in electric heat staging, provides a 10 second “ON” delay between resistance heat stages.
6. Compressor cycle rate minimization, extends compressor life expectancy. Minimizes
damaging compressor inrush current, and guards against short cycling.
7. Economizer preferred cooling allows fully integrated economizer operation with mechanical
cooling if actually needed.
On constant volume applications, a 3 minute delay allows the RTRM to evaluate the rate of
change in the zone. If the zone temperature is dropping faster than acceptable parameters, the
compressor(s) will not be allowed to operate.
8. Free night setback allows the unit to enter an unoccupied mode by simply shorting across
terminals RTRM J6-11 and J6-12. The short can be achieved by a set of dry contacts or a time
clock. Once this short has been made the unit will close the economizer dampers, go from
continuous fan to auto fan operation, and:
CV Unit w/Mechanical ZSM
If the unit has a valid cooling and heating setpoint, the setup/setback is a minimum of 7°.
If the unit does not have both setpoints, the setup/setback is 0°.
If the unit has neither setpoint, the unoccupied cooling/heating setpoints will be 74°F/71°F.
This input is ignored if a conventional thermostat is used.
VAV unit w/o ICS or NSB engerizes heating if the space temperature drops to 10° F below the MWU
setpoint but not less than 50° F
This option can not be used with programmable ZSM or with an ICSTM system.
9. Low pressure cutouts on all compressors have been added to insure compressor reliability in
low refrigerant flow situations. The compressor(s) will lockout after four consecutive low
pressure control trips during the compressor minimum 3 minute "on" time. The lockout will
have to be manual reset as explained in this document.
Economizer Operation with CV Controls
The control point for the economizer is designed to control at least 1.5° F below the cooling setpoint
or 1.5° F above the heating setpoint, whichever produces the highest economizer control setpoint.
Example:
Heating Setpoint = 68°
Cooling Setpoint = 70°
The control temperature for the economizer will be 1.5° above the heating setpoint
due to it producing the least amount of offset.
Heating Setpoint = 55°
Cooling Setpoint = 75°
Because of the spread between the heating and cooling setpoints, the control will choose to control
the economizer at an offset temperature of 1.5° F below the cooling setpoint. This will be the highest
resulting control setpoint temperature while maintaining the least amount of offset.
The percentage that the economizer dampers open is based on two factors:
58 RT-SVX34C-EN
Page 59
Startup
1. The zone temperature minus the economizer setpoint, and
2. The zone temperature minus the outdoor air temperature.
Note: Tab l e 19 lists the percentages the dampers will open based on these conditions.
Table 19. Percent of Damper Travel

7 - 14 F0%2%6%20%60%100%
> 14 F0%1%3%10%30%100%
While economizing, if the supply air temperature falls below 50°F, the damper will not be allowed
to open any further until the supply air temperature rises above 50°F. If the supply air temperature
falls below 45°F, the dampers will be driven to minimum position and held there until the supply
air temperature rises above 50°F.
The mechanical cooling is disabled while in an economizing state until two conditions are met;
1. The economizer dampers have been fully open for three minutes, and;
2. The calculated rate of change in the zone temperature is less than 12° F per hour.
If the economizer is disabled due to unsuitable conditions, the economizer is at the selected
minimum position when the supply fan is "On", and is closed when the supply fan is "Off". The
mechanical cooling will cycle as though the unit had no economizer.
If the unit is equipped with the modulating power exhaust option, the power exhaust actuator will
follow the position of the economizer actuator.
Mechanical Cooling without an Economizer (CV only)
Mechanical cooling is used to maintain the zone temperature. The RTRM is designed to limit the
compressor cycle rates to within 10 cycles per hour based on the minimum compressor "on" and
"off" times.
It stages the mechanical cooling to control the zone temperature to within +/- 2° F of the sensor
setpoint at the sensed location. Tabl e 20 lists the compressor stepping sequence.

Figure 39. Compressors
Zone Temperature - Occupied Cooling (CV only)
When the unit is in the cooling mode and the zone temperature raises above the cooling setpoint
controlband, the economizer and the compressor stages will be cycled as required by the zone
sensor, remote panel, or Tracer®.
Zone Temperature - Occupied Heating (CV only)
When the unit is in the heating mode and the zone temperature falls below the heating setpoint
controlband, the necessary stages of heat will cycle to raise the temperature to within the setpoint
controlband.
Supply Fan (CV only)
When the Fan Selection Switch is in the "AUTO" position and a call for cooling is initiated, the supply
fan will delay starting for approximately one second. When the Fan Selection Switch is in the "ON"
position, the supply fan will run continuously. If air flow through the unit is not proven by the
differential pressure switch (factory setpoint 0.15 " w.c.) within 40 seconds nominally, the RTRM will
shut off all mechanical operations, lock the system out, send a diagnostic to ICS, and the SERVICE
LED output will pulse. The system will remain locked out until a reset is initiated either manually
or through ICS or a mode transition from OFF to a non-OFF mode.
Supply Air Tempering (CV only)
This function allows the supply air temperature to be maintained within a low limit parameter
during minimum ventilation periods. When the system is in the "Heating" mode of operation, the
low limit parameter is equal to the heating setpoint minus 10 degrees F.
When an economizer is installed, air tempering is allowed with ICSTM when the fan system switch
is in the "ON" position with no call for heating. If the supply air temperature falls 10 degrees F below
the heating setpoint, the next available stage of heat will be turned on. It will remain on until the
supply air temperature reaches 10 degrees above the heating setpoint. A unit with modulating gas
heat will activate heat at 10 degrees below the setpoint and modulate to maintain the heating
setpoint.
VAV Supply Air Tempering (Only Available with Modulating Gas Heat)
Hot refrigerant gas will be modulated to prevent the Discharge Air Temperature from falling below
the Discharge Temperature Deadband. Upon satisfying the Supply Air Tempering requirements a
5 minute SA Tempering Delay timer will start whenever the modulating reheat valve is commanded
to 0 and must time out before the unit will be allowed to re-enter "Cool" mode. This timer will be
reset to 5 minutes whenever there is an active call for "Supply Air Tempering" demands. Tempering
will be discontinued whenever (a) the 5 minute "Supply Air Tempering Delay" timer has timed-out
and (b) there is an active cooling request for VAV Occupied Cooling.
60 RT-SVX34C-EN

Variable Air Volume Applications
Supply Air Temperature Control - Occupied Cooling and Heating
The RTRM is designed to maintain a selectable supply air temperature of 40° F to 90° F with a +/-
3.5° F deadband. In cooling, if supply air temperature is more than 3.5 degrees warmer than the
selected temperature, a stage of cooling will be turned "On" (if available). Then if the supply air
temperature is more than 3.5 degrees cooler than the selected temperature, a stage of cooling will
be turned "Off".
At very low airflows the unit may cycle stages "On" and "Off" to maintain an average discharge air
temperature outside the 7 degree deadband.
If the unit has modulating heat, the unit can be made to do discharge heating with VAV control. This
is done by placing a contact closure across the "Changeover Input" on the RTAM. During this mode,
the unit will heat to the Supply Air Heating Setpoint +- 3.5F. During low load or low airflow
conditions the actual temperature swing of the discharge air will likely be greater.
The RTRM utilizes a proportional and integral control scheme with the integration occurring when
the supply air temperature is outside the deadband. As long as the supply air temperature is within
the setpoint deadband, the system is considered to be satisfied and no staging up or down will
occur.
Supply Air Temperature Control with an Economizer
The economizer is utilized to control the supply air cooling at +1.5° F around the supply air
temperature setpoint range of 40° F and 90° F providing the outside air conditions are suitable.
While economizing, the mechanical cooling is disabled until the economizer dampers have been
fully open for three minutes. If the economizer is disabled due to unsuitable conditions, the
mechanical cooling will cycle as though the unit had no economizer.
Startup
VHR Relay Output
During unoccupied mode, daytime warm-up (DWU) and morning warm-up (MWU) the IGV's or
VFD's will open to 100%. All VAV boxes must be opened through an ICS program or by the VHR
wired to the VAV boxes. The RTRM will delay 100% fan operation approximately 6.5 minutes when
switching from occupied cooling mode to a heating mode.
Zone Temperature Control without a Night Setback Panel or ICS - Unoccupied
Cooling
When a field supplied occupied/unoccupied switching device is connected between RTRM J6-11
and RTRM J6-12, both the economizer and the mechanical cooling will be disabled.
Zone Temperature Control without a Night setback Panel or ICS - Unoccupied
Heating
When a field supplied occupied/unoccupied switching device is connected between RTRM J6-11
and J6-12 and DWU is enabled, the zone temperature will be controlled at 10o F below the Morning
Warm-up setpoint, but not less than 50° F, by cycling one or two stages of either gas or electric heat,
whichever is applicable.
Morning Warm-up (MWU) Control
Morning Warm-up is activated if the zone temperature is at least 1.5° F below the MWU setpoint
whenever the system switches from Unoccupied to Occupied status. The MWU setpoint may be
set from the unit mounted potentiometer or a remotely mounted potentiometer. The setpoint
ranges are from 50° F to 90° F. When the zone temperature meets or exceeds the MWU setpoint,
the unit will switch to the "Cooling" mode. The economizer will be held closed during the morning
warm-up cycle.
Daytime Warm-up is applicable during occupied status and when the zone temperature is below
the initiation temperature. It can be activated or deactivated through ICS or a night setback zone
sensor. If ICS or a night setback zone sensor is not utilized, DWU can be activated by setting the
DWU enable DIP switch (RTAM) to ON and supplying a valid morning warm-up setpoint.
The unit is shipped with a Morning Warm-up setpoint configured and the Daytime Warm-up
function is activated (switch on). Opening the DWU enable switch will disable this function.
If the system control is local, the DWU initiation setpoint is 3° F below the Morning Warm-up
setpoint. The termination setpoint is equal to the Morning Warm-up setpoint.
If the system control is remote (Tracer™), the DWU setpoint is equal to the Tracer Occupied heating
setpoint. The initiation and termination setpoints are selectable setpoints designated by Tracer.
When the zone temperature meets or exceeds the termination setpoint while the unit is in an
Occupied, "Auto" Mode or switched to the "Cooling" Mode, the unit will revert to the cooling
operation.
If an Occupied "Heating" Mode is selected, the unit will only function within the DWU perimeters
until the system is switched from the "Heat" Mode or enters an Unoccupied status.
Note: When a LCI is installed on a VAV unit, the MWU setpoint located on the RTAM board is
ignored. The MWU and DWU setpoints come from the higher priority LCI-R DAC.
Supply Duct Static Pressure Control
The supply duct static pressure is measured by a transducer with a 0.25 to 2.125 VDC proportional
output which corresponds to an adjustable supply duct static pressure of 0.3" w.c. to 2.5" w.c.
respectively with a deadband adjustment range from 0.2" w.c. to 1.0" w.c.. The setpoint is
adjustable on the RTAM Static Pressure Setpoint potentiometer or through ICS.
Example:
Supply Duct Static setpoint = 2.0" w.c. (RTAM)
Deadband = 0.2" w.c. (RTAM)
Duct Static Control Range = 1.9" w.c. to 2.1" w.c.

Supply Air Temperature Reset
The supply air temperature can be reset by using one of four DIP switch configurations on the RTAM
or through ICS when a valid supply air reset setpoint with a supply air reset amount is given. A
selectable reset amount of 0° F to 20° F via RTAM potentiometer or ICS is permissible for each type
of reset.
The amount of change applied to the supply air temperature setpoint depends on how far the return
air, zone, or outdoor air temperature falls below the reset temperature setpoint. If the return air,
zone, or outdoor air temperature is equal to or greater than the reset temperature setpoint, the
amount of change is zero.
If the return air, or zone temperature falls 3° F below the reset temperature setpoint, the amount
of reset applied to the supply air temperature will equal the maximum amount of reset selected.
If the outdoor air temperature falls 20° F below the reset temperature setpoint, the amount of reset
applied to the supply air temperature will equal the maximum amount of reset selected. The four
DIP switch configurations are as follows:
1. None - When RTAM DIP Switch #3 and #4 are in the "Off" position, no reset will be allowed.
2. Reset based on Return Air Temperature - When RTAM DIP Switch #3 is "Off" and Switch #4 is
"On", a selectable supply air reset setpoint of 50° F to 90° F via a unit mounted potentiometer
or Tracer™ is permissible.
3. Reset based on Zone Temperature - When RTAM DIP Switch #3 is "On" and Switch #4 is "Off",
a selectable supply air reset setpoint of 50° F to 90° F via RTAM potentiometer or Tracer is
permissible.
4. Reset based on Outdoor Air Temperature - When DIP Switch #3 and #4 are "On", a selectable
supply air reset setpoint of 0° F to 100° F via RTAM potentiometer or Tracer is permissible.
Constant Volume or Variable Air Volume Applications
Off Mode
This mode is set at the zone sensor or by ICS. During this status, no heating, ventilation, or
mechanical cooling is being performed. When switching the "System" selector to the "Off" mode
from any other mode, any diagnostic data and diagnostic indication signal will be retained as long
as the system remains in the "Off" status. Switching the "System" selector from the "Off" mode back
to any other mode of operation will reset all diagnostics.
Zone Temperature - Unoccupied Cooling (CV Only)
While a building is in an unoccupied period as designated by a remote panel with night setback,
ICS or RTRM J6-11 and J6-12, the necessary stages of cooling will cycle to maintain the zone
temperature to within the unoccupied setpoint deadband. If an economizer is enabled, it will
modulate in an attempt to maintain the zone temperature to within the setpoint deadband.
Zone Temperature - Unoccupied Heating
While a building is in an unoccupied period as designated by a remote panel with night setback or
ICS, the necessary stages of heat will cycle to maintain the zone temperature to within the
unoccupied setpoint deadband. For VAV systems, the IGV's or VFD's will operate at 100% during
this mode. It will be necessary to drive VAV boxes to their maximum position through ICS
programming or the factory provided VHR relay.
Mechanical Cooling with an Economizer
The economizer is utilized to control the zone temperature providing the outside air conditions are
suitable. The method used to determine economizer effectiveness, depending on the available
data, is described below in descending order of complexity. The most sophisticated method
available is always used.

Two of the three methods for determining the suitability of the outside air can be selected utilizing
the potentiometer on the Economizer Actuator, as described below:
1. Ambient Temperature - controlling the economizing cycle by sensing the outside air dry bulb
temperature. Table 22 lists the selectable dry bulb values by potentiometer setting.
2. Reference Enthalpy - controlling the economizer cycle by sensing the outdoor air humidity.
Ta bl e 22 lists the selectable enthalpy values by potentiometer setting. If the outside air enthalpy
value is less than the selected value, the economizer is allowed to operate.

3. Comparative Enthalpy - By utilizing a humidity sensor and a temperature sensor in both the
return air stream and the outdoor air stream, the economizer will be able to establish which
conditions are best suited for maintaining the zone temperature, i.e., indoor conditions or
outdoor conditions.
Gas Heat Control
The ignition sequence and timing are provided by a separate heat control module. The RTRM only
provides the heating outputs to initiate 1st and 2nd stages and control the combustion blower
relays. Both stages of the furnace, when initiated after each cycle, will start and operate for one
minute then cycle back if only one stage is required. Units with modulating heat capabilites will
light on high fire for one minute and then modulate to the appropriate heating rate for the building
load present.
When the fan selection switch is in the "AUTO" mode, the fan will be delayed from coming on for
approximately 30 seconds after a call for heat has been initiated. The fan will remain on for
approximately 90 seconds after the heating setpoint has been satisfied.
Electric Heat Control
The RTRM provides two heating outputs for 1st and 2nd stages with a 10 second delay between
each stage. When the fan selection switch is in the "AUTO" mode, the fan will start approximately
1 second before the 1st heater stage is activated. The fan and heater will cycle off after the heating
setpoint has been satisfied.
Clogged Filter Option
The unit mounted clogged filter switch monitors the pressure differential across the return air
filters. It is mounted in the filter section and is connected to the RTOM. The switch is adjustable and
64 RT-SVX34C-EN
Page 65
Startup
can be set for a particular application. The clogged filter switch is normally open and will
automatically close when the pressure differential across the filters falls below the clogged filter
setpoint. The RTOM will generate a SERVICE diagnostic that will be sent to the zone sensor or
remote panel when the clogged filter switch has been closed for at least 2 minutes during supply
fan operation. The system will continue to operate regardless of the status of the clogged filter
switch.
Ventilation Override
Note: Applying 24 volts to one of the three Ventilation Override Inputs manually activates
ventilation override. One input is provided to request the Pressurize Mode, the second input
the Purge Mode, and the third input the Exhaust Mode.
When Pressurize is selected, activating Ventilation Override will cause the supply fan to run, the
economizer to open to 100%, the exhaust fan to turn (remain) off, the IGV to fully open, or the VFD
to run at full speed, and the VAV boxes to fully open.
When Purge is selected, activating Ventilation Override will cause the supply fan to run, the
economizer to open to 100%, the exhaust fan to run, the IGV to fully open, or the VFD to run at full
speed, and the VAV boxes to fully open.
When Exhaust is selected, activating Ventilation Override will cause the supply fan to turn off, the
economizer to close to 0%, the exhaust fan to run, the IGV to close, or the VFD to stop, and the VAV
boxes to operate normally.
If more than one mode is requested at the same time, the Pressurize request will have priority
followed by Purge. When any Ventilation Override Mode is active, all heating and cooling is turned
off. For the case where the unit is required to turn off, the Emergency Stop input is used. The ICS
can also initiate any ventilation override mode. Table 23, p. 65 lists the sequence of events within
the system for each ventilation mode. Refer to the unit wiring diagram for contact switching and
wiring.
Note: Fresh air tracking will not work with VOM.

Phase Monitor
The Phase Monitor is a 3 phase line monitor module that protects against phase loss, phase
reversal and phase unbalance. It is intended to protect compressors from reverse rotation. It has
an operating input voltage range of 190-600 VAC, and LED indicators for ON and FAULT. There are
no field adjustments and the module will automatically reset from a fault condition.
Low Pressure Control
This input incorporates the low pressure cutout of each refrigeration circuit and can be activated
by opening a field supplied contact.
If this circuit is open before a compressor(s) is started, neither compressor in that circuit will be
allowed to operate.
Anytime this circuit is opened for 5 continuous seconds, the compressor(s) in that circuit are turned
off immediately. The compressor(s) will not be allowed to restart for a minimum of 3 minutes.
If four consecutive open conditions occur during the first three minutes of operation, the
compressor(s) in that circuit will be locked out, a diagnostic communicated to Tracer, and a manual
reset will be required to restart the compressor(s).
The dehumidification option has one reheat low pressure cutout (RLP). The RLP is located on the
reheat circuit.
Dehumidification Low Pressure Control
The RLP has been added to insure proper refrigerant management during active modulating hot
gas reheat operation.
The RLP will be ignored for the first 10 minutes of compressor run time during active hot gas reheat
operation. Anytime this circuit is opened for 5 continuous seconds, the compressor(s) in that circuit
are turned off immediately. The compressor(s) will not be allowed to restart for a minimum of 3
minutes. If four consecutive open conditions occur during active dehumidification, the
compressor(s) in that circuit will be locked out.
High Pressure Cutout and Temperature Discharge Limit
The high pressure controls and temperature discharge limit are wired in series between the
compressor outputs on the RTRM and the compressor contactors. On 27.5, 30, and 35 Ton units,
if the high pressure safety switch or temperature discharge limit opens, the RTRM senses a lack of
current while calling for cooling and locks both compressors out with an auto reset. On 40 and 50
Ton units, if the high pressure safety or temperature discharge limit opens, the compressor(s) on
the affected circuit is locked out. If the compressor output circuit is opened four consecutive times
during compressor operation, the RTRM will generate a manual reset lockout.
Power Exhaust Control (Standard)
The power exhaust fan is started whenever the position of the economizer dampers meets or
exceed the power exhaust setpoint when the supply fan is on.
The setpoint potentiometer is on the RTOM and is factory set at 25%.
Space Pressure Control--Statitrac
A pressure transducer is used to measure and report direct space (building) static pressure. The
user-defined control parameters used in this control scheme are Space Pressure Setpoint and
Space Pressure Deadband. As the Economizer opens, the building pressure rises and enables the
Exhaust Fan. The Exhaust dampers will be modulated to maintain Space Pressure within the Space
Pressure Deadband.

Exhaust Fan Performance" tables beginning with Table 42, p. 92
Lead/Lag Control
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 remove the jumper
connection J3-8 at the RTRM Lead/Lag input. When it is activated, each time the designated lead
compressor(s) is shut off due to the load being satisfied, the lead compressor or refrigeration circuit
switches. When the RTRM is powered up, i.e. after a power failure, the control will default to the
number one compressor.

Coil Frost Protection
The Frostat™ control monitors the suction line temperature to prevent the evaporator from
freezing due to low operating temperatures whenever there is a demand for cooling. When a closed
circuit has occurred for 5 seconds minimum, the RTRM turns off all of the cooling outputs providing
the 3 minute minimum "On" time for the compressor(s) has elapsed. The Supply Fan will be held
"On" until the Frostat has been open for 5 continuous seconds or for 60 seconds after the last
compressor was shut "Off", whichever is the longest. The compressor shutdown is communicated
to Tracer, if applicable. There is no local diagnostic for this condition.
Dehumidification Frost Protection
Two control schemes will be active on units configured for Dehumidification. The first employs the
use of the Frostat function. The second scheme takes precedence over Frostat. Operation will be
as described below.
The second scheme is only in control during active dehumidification and includes the use of an
Entering Evaporator Temperature sensor (EET). If the EET drops below 35°F for 10 continuous
minutes compressors will stage off. For dual circuit units one circuit will be staged off. For single
circuit units one compressor will be staged off. The compressors which have been staged off will
not be energized until the unit leaves the current dehumidification cycle or a dehumidification
purge is initiated.
VFD Programming Parameters
See System Troubleshooting section.
Condenser Fan Sequencing Control
The condenser fans are cycled according to the outdoor air temperature and the number of cooling
steps that are operating. Table 25, p. 68 lists the temperatures at which the A and B Condenser Fan
Outputs on the RTRM switches the fans "Off". The fans are switched back "ON" when the outdoor
temperature rises approximately 5° F above the "Off" temperature.
Figure 42, p. 69 shows the condenser fans as viewed from the top of the unit facing the control
panel. Whenever a condenser fan is cycled back "On", the condenser fan Outputs A and B and the
compressor steps are de-energized for approximately seven seconds to prevent problems with fan

Preparing the Unit for Operation
Use the checklist provided below in conjunction with the "Installation Checklist” to ensure that the
unit is properly installed and ready for operation.
WARNIN G
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.
•Check all electrical connections for tightness and "point of termination" accuracy.
•Verify that the condenser airflow will be unobstructed.
•Check the compressor crankcase oil level. Oil should be visible in the compressor oil sight glass.
The oil level may be above the sight glass prior to the initial start. Use appropriate lighting
(flashlight) to verify the presence of oil.
•Prior to unit startup allow the crankcase heater to operate a minimum of 8 hours to remove
liquid refrigerant from the compressor sump.
•Optional Service Valves - Verify that the discharge service valve, suction service valve, and
liquid line service valve is fully open on each circuit.
•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.
•Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris and install all panels in preparation for
starting the unit.
Electrical Phasing
Unlike traditional reciprocating compressors, scroll compressors are phase sensitive. Proper
phasing of the electrical supply to the unit is critical for proper operation and reliability.
The compressor motor is internally connected for clockwise rotation with the incoming power
supply phased as A, B, C. Proper electrical supply phasing can be quickly determined and corrected
before starting the unit by using an instrument such as an Ideal - Sperry 61-520 Phase Sequence
Indicator and following the steps below:
•Open the disconnect switch or circuit protector switch that provides the supply power to the

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.
HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT AT TERMINAL BLOCK HTB1 OR UNIT DISCONNECT SWITCH.
•Observe the ABC and CBA phase indicator lights on the face of the sequencer. The ABC
indicator light will glow if the phase is ABC. If the CBA indicator light glows, open the disconnect
switch or circuit protection switch and reverse any two power wires.
•Restore main electrical power and recheck phasing. If the phasing is correct, open the
disconnect switch or circuit protection switch and remove the phase sequence indicator.
Voltage Supply and Voltage Imbalance
Startup
Supply Voltage
Electrical power to the unit must meet stringent requirements for the unit to operate properly.
Measure each leg (phase-to-phase) of the power supply. Each reading must fall within the
utilization range stamped on the unit nameplate. If any of the readings do not fall within the proper
tolerances, notify the power company to correct this situation before operating the unit.
Voltage Imbalance
Excessive voltage imbalance between phases in a three phase system will cause motors to
overheat and eventually fail. The maximum allowable voltage imbalance is 2%. Measure and
record the voltage between phases 1, 2, and 3 and calculate the amount of imbalance as follows:
% Voltage Imbalance = where;
AV (Average Voltage) =
Volt 1, Volt 2, Volt 3 = Line Voltage Readings
VD = Line Voltage reading that deviates the farthest from the average voltage.
Example:
If the voltage readings of the supply power measured 221, 230, and 227, the average volts would be:
VD (reading farthest from average) = 221
The percentage of Imbalance equals:
RT-SVX34C-EN71
Page 72
Startup
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 at the job site is over 2%, notify the proper agencies to correct the voltage
problem to within 2.0% before operating this equipment.
Starting the Unit
Before closing the main power disconnect switch, insure that the "System" selection switch is in
the "Off" position and the "Fan" selection switch for Constant Volume units is in the "Auto" position.
Close the main power disconnect switch and the unit mounted disconnect switch, if applicable.

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.
HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT AT TERMINAL BLOCK HTB1 OR UNIT DISCONNECT SWITCH.
Upon power initialization, the RTRM performs self-diagnostic checks to insure that all internal
controls are functional. It also checks the configuration parameters against the components
connected to the system. The LED located on the RTRM module is turned "On" within one second
of power-up if internal operation is okay. The economizer dampers are driven open for 5 seconds
then fully closed (if applicable).
When an economizer is installed DO NOT ENTER the TEST mode until all calibration startup
functions have been completed. Otherwise, the economizer actuator and power exhaust output
may not function properly during any of the test mode steps. Allow 2 minutes after unit power up
to complete economizer calibration before entering the test mode function.
Use the following "Test" procedure to bypass some time delays and to start the unit at the control
panel. Each step of unit operation can be activated individually by temporarily shorting across the
"Test" terminals for two to three seconds. The LED located on the RTRM module will blink when
the test mode has been initiated. The unit can be left in any "Test" step for up to one hour before
it will automatically terminate, or it can be terminated by opening the main power disconnect
switch. Once the test mode has been terminated, the LED will glow continuously and the unit will
revert to the "System" control, i.e. zone temperature for constant volume units or discharge air
temperature for variable air volume units.
Test Modes
There are three methods in which the "Test" mode can be cycled at LTB1-Test 1 and LTB1-Test 2.
1. Step Test Mode - This method initiates the different components of the unit, one at a time, by
temporarily shorting across the two test terminals for two to three seconds.
For the initial startup of either a Constant Volume or Variable Air Volume 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 startup 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 startup due to the short timing between
individual component steps. This method initiates the different components of the unit, one
72 RT-SVX34C-EN

Startup
at a time, when a jumper is installed across the test terminals. The unit will start the first test
step and change to the next step every 30 seconds. At the end of the test mode, control of the
unit will automatically revert to the applied "System" control method.
For Constant Volume or Variable Air Volume test steps, test modes, and step resistance values to
cycle the various components, refer toTable 28, p. 74.
Service Test Switch Location
A toggle service switch has been offered as a standard option to provide hassle free startup option
for the service person in the field. This toggle switch is located under the control panel behind the
front cover.

Verifying Proper Air Flow (CFM)
(CV, IGV's or VFD's)
1. All systems - Set the minimum position setting for the economizer to 0o degrees using the
setpoint potentiometer located on the Economizer Actuator in the return section with the
supply fan "On" and rotating in the proper direction:
CV applications - Measure the amperage at the supply fan contactor and compare it with the
full load amp (FLA) rating stamped on the motor nameplate.
IGV's - With the O/A dampers fully closed, measure the amperage at the supply fan contactor
and compare it with the full load amp (FLA) rating stamped on the motor nameplate.
VFD's - With the O/A dampers fully closed, read the amperage displayed on the VFD screen and
compare it to the motor nameplate.
Note: On VAV applications, IGV's will be under control of the Discharge Static Pressure setpoint
for the first six minutes of this test mode. Verify that the IGV's have been driven to the full
open position or the VFD output is at 60 Hz before measuring the fan motor amps.
If the actual amperage exceeds the nameplate value, static pressure is less than design and air
flow is too high. If the actual amperage is below the nameplate value, static pressure is greater
than design and air flow is too low.
2. To determine the actual CFM (within + 5%), plot the fan's operating RPM and the Theoretical
BHP onto the appropriate Fan Performance Curve in
Theoretical BHP Formula:
Where the two points intersect, read straight down to the CFM line. Use Table 38, p. 87 to select a
new fan drive if the CFM is not within specifications.

Exhaust Fan Operation
To start the optional power exhaust fans, use the economizer test procedures in Table 28, p. 74 to
drive the economizer dampers to the open position. The exhaust fans will start when the damper
position is equal to or greater than the exhaust fan setpoint. If optional power exhaust is selected,
an access door must be field-installed on the horizontal return ductwork to provide access to
exhaust fan motors.

Rotating Components!
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.
The Exhaust Fan will start anytime the economizer damper position is equal to or greater than the
exhaust fan setpoint.

Startup
Verify that the fans are operating properly and the CFM is within the job specifications. Refer to
power exhaust fan performance tables beginning with Table 42, p. 92 for the exhaust fan
performance characteristics.
Available power adjustments:
1. The power exhaust fan(s) comes on based on the position of the of the exhaust fan setpoint
potentiometer on the RTOM (Reliatel Options Module). The setpoint is factory set at 25%. The
exhaust fan(s) will come on anytime the economizer damper position is equal to or greater than
the exhaust fan setpoint.
2. Physical damper blade stops limit the amount of exhaust airflow by limiting the maximum
opening of the damper blades. These stops (sliding brackets secured with wing-nuts) are
present under the rain hood on the non-modulating power exhaust option. There is one stop
on each side of each damper. The practical range of blade position control is between 1.5" and
4.0" blade opening. The damper is wide-open at 4.0". The stops on each side of a damper must
be in the same position, such that the damper blade connecting member contacts the stops at
the same time.
3. The modulating power exhaust actuator tracks the position of the economizer damper actuator
such that the power exhaust dampers proportionally follow or track the fresh air damper
position.
4. When the Statitrac option is selected, the exhaust actuator will operate independently of the
economizer in order to relieve positive building pressure. If a Space Pressure Transducer failure
occurs, the unit will revert back to fresh air tracking control.
5. The proportional offset between the dampers is adjusted under the rain hood by hole position
selection on the power exhaust actuator jack shaft on the damper linkage arm.
Note: The damper is a barometric damper that continues to function as a pressure relief damper
up to the maximum stop position.
Note: To adjust the damper blade stops, refer to figures Figure 47, p. 93 to Figure 50, p. 94
If the fan speed needs to be changed from the current operating speed, refer to the unit wiring
diagram and the XTB1 and XTB2 terminal strip located in the economizer section.

Arbitrarily adjusting the outside air dampers to open fully when the return air dampers are fully
closed can overload the supply fan motor or deliver higher CFM to the space than designed. This
causes higher operating duct static pressures and over pressurization of the space when the unit
is operating in the "economizer” mode.
The O/A and R/A damper linkage is attached to a plate with a series of holes that allows the installer
or operator to modify the O/A damper travel to compensate for various R/A duct losses. The
purpose of adjusting the amount of O/A damper travel is to maintain a balance or equal pressure
between the O/A dampers and the pressure drop of the return air system. Figure 51, p. 97 illustrates
the damper assembly and Table 46, p. 95 through Table 49, p. 96 list the various damper positions
94 RT-SVX34C-EN
based on the air flow (CFM) and the return duct losses (static pressure) for Downflow and
Horizontal units.
To adjust the O/A damper for the correct pressure drop:
1. Measure the return duct static pressure.
2. Enter the calculated CFM from the previous section "Verifying Proper Airflow" Tab l e 36, p. 85
to obtain the return air damper pressure drop.

3. Add the measured return duct static pressure and the return air damper pressure drop together
to obtain the Total Return Static Pressure. Apply this calculation and the calculated CFM to the
appropriate
4. Set the drive rod swivel to the appropriate hole according to Ta b le 46, p. 95 through Ta bl e 49,
p. 96. The units are shipped using hole "A" with no reference to any specific operating

8. Loosen the adjustment screws on each side of the damper and slide it downward to the required
opening.
9. Tighten the adjustment screws and re-install the mist eliminators and the mist eliminator
retainer bracket.
Open the main power disconnect or the unit mounted disconnect switch to shut the unit off and
to reset the RTRM.
Before closing the disconnect switch, ensure that the compressor discharge service valve(s),
suction service valve(s), and liquid line service valve(s) are backseated.
Starting the Compressor
Optional service valves must be fully opened before startup (suction, discharge, liquid line and oil
line).
NOTICE:
Compressors Failure!
Unit must be powered and crankcase heaters energized at least 8 hours BEFORE compressors
are started. This will protect the compressors from premature failure.
Starting 27.5 to 35 Ton Units
Install a set of service gauges onto the suction and discharge service ports. To start the compressor
test, close the main power disconnect switch or the unit mounted disconnect switch.
Jump across the "Test terminals" on LTB1 or toggle the test switch three consecutive times if it is
a constant volume application, or five times if it is a variable air volume application for two to three
seconds per jump. Refer to Table 28, p. 74Table 29, p. 74 for the Cooling Test sequence.
Note: The compressors are protected from reverse rotation caused by improper sequencing of
the customer supplied unit power wires by the unit phase monitor. It is imperative to verify
correct sequencing of compressor power wires to prevent compressor failure from reverse

rotation. Refer to the unit wiring schematic and/or wire color markers vs. the compressor
terminal block color markers.

If a scroll compressor is rotating backwards, it will not pump and a loud rattling sound can
be observed. If allowed to run backward for even a very short period of time, internal
compressor damage may occur and compressor life may be reduced. If allowed to run
backwards for an extended period of time, the compressor will likely fail or the motor
windings will overheat and cause the motor winding thermostats to open. The opening of
the motor winding thermostat will cause a "compressor trip" diagnostic and stop the
compressor.
Startup
Starting 40 to 50 Ton Units
Install a set of service gauges onto the suction and discharge service ports of each circuit. Follow
the same procedures as above to start the first stage of compressor operation.
After the compressor and the condenser fans have been operating for approximately 30 minutes,
use Tab l e 5 1 , p . 10 1 through Table 64, p. 108 to determine the proper operating pressures for that
circuit.
Jump across the "Test Terminals" once again. This will allow the second stage compressors to start.
The first stage compressor will shut off providing the 3 minute "On" time has elapsed.
Note: When the second refrigerant circuit is requested to operate, both compressors of the 50 ton
unit will run simultaneously. Verify that the compressors are rotating in the correct
direction.
Observe the operation of the compressor(s) and the system operating pressures. After
compressors and condenser fans for the circuit have been operating for approximately 30 minutes,
use Table 54, p. 103 through Table 64, p. 108 to determine the proper operating pressures. For
subcooling guidelines, refer to "Checking Subcooling" at the end of this section.
Units with Lead/Lag function disabled, jump across the "Test Terminals" once again. This will allow
the third stage of cooling (number one circuit) to start providing the 3 minute "Off" time has been
satisfied.
The 40 and 50 ton units employ the use of line weights to dampen vibration. Do not remove,
relocate, or over-torque these weights. The torque specification for the attaching bolts is 6 ft-lbs
± 1.0 ft-lb.
The location of the line weights is shown below.
