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 refrigerantsincluding 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.
WARNI NG
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.
Overview of Manual
One copy of the appropriate service literature ships inside
the control panel of each unit. The procedures discussed in
this manual should only be performed by qualified,
experienced HVAC technicians.
Note: Do not release refrigerant to the atmosphere! If
adding or removing refrigerant is required, the
service technician must comply with all federal,
state, and local laws.
This booklet describes the proper installation, startup,
operation, and maintenance procedures for TC_, TE_, and
YC_22.9 to 50 Ton CV (Constant Volume), VAV (Variable Air
Volume), and SZ VAV (Single Zone Variable Air Volume)
applications. Refer to the table of contents for a listing of
specific topics. Refer to “Diagnostics,” p. 104 for
troubleshooting information.
By carefully reviewing the information within this manual
and following the instructions, the risk of improper
operation and/or component damage will be minimized.
It is important that periodic maintenance be performed to
help assure trouble free operation. A maintenance
schedule is provided at the end of this manual. Should
equipment failure occur, contact a qualified service
organization with qualified, experienced HVAC technicians
to properly diagnose and repair this equipment.

General Information
Precautionary Measures
WARN ING
Fiberglass Wool!
Product contains fiberglass wool. Disturbing the
insulation in this product during installation,
maintenance or repair will expose you to airborne
particles of glass wool fibers and ceramic fibers known
to the state of California to cause cancer through
inhalation. You MUST wear all necessary Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) including gloves, eye
protection, mask, long sleeves and pants when working
with products containing fiberglass wool. Exposition to
glass wool fibers without all necessary PPE equipment
could result in cancer, respiratory, skin or eye irritation,
which could result in death or serious injury.
- Avoid breathing fiberglass dust.
- Use a NIOSH approved dust/mist respirator.
- Avoid contact with the skin or eyes. Wear long-sleeved,
loose-fitting clothing, gloves, and eye protection.
- Wash clothes separately from other clothing: rinse
washer thoroughly.
- Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear-out, and
spraying may generate fiber concentrations requiring
additional respiratory protection. Use the appropriate
NIOSH approved respiration in these situations.
First Aid Measures
Eye Contact - Flush eyes with water to remove dust. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact - Wash affected areas gently with soap and
warm water after handling.
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.
Unit Inspection
As soon as the unit arrives at the job site:
•Verify that the nameplate data corresponds to the sales
order and bill of lading (including electrical data).
•Visually inspect the exterior of the unit, including the
roof, for physical signs of shipping damage.
•Check for material shortages. Figure 11 , p. 18 illustrates
where “ship with” items are placed inside the unit.
If the job site inspection reveals damage or material
shortages, file a claim with the carrier immediately. Specify
the type and extent of the damage on the “bill of lading”
before signing. Do not install a damaged unit without the
Appropriate Trane sales representative's approval!
•Visually check the internal components for shipping
damage as soon as possible after delivery and before it
is stored. Do not walk on the sheet metal base pans.
WARNI NG
No Step Surface!
Do not walk on the sheet metal drain pan. Walking on
the drain pan could cause the supporting metal to
collapse, resulting in the operator/technician to fall.
Failure to follow this recommendation could result in
death or serious injury.
Bridging between the unit's main supports may consist of
multiple 2 by 12 boards or sheet metal grating.
•If concealed damage is discovered, notify the carrier's
terminal office immediately by phone and by mail.
Concealed damage must be reported within 15 days.
•Request an immediate joint inspection of the damage
by the carrier and the consignee. Do not remove the
damaged material from the receiving location. Take
photos of the damage, if possible. The owner must
provide reasonable evidence that the damage did not
occur after delivery.
Storage
Take precautions to prevent condensate formation inside
the unit electrical components and motors when:
a. The unit is stored before it is installed; or,
b. The unit is set on the roof curb and temporary
auxiliary heat is provided in the building.
Isolate all side panel service entrances and base pan
openings (e.g., conduit holes, S/A and R/A openings, and
flue openings) to minimize ambient air from entering the
unit until it is ready for startup.
Do not use the unit heater as temporary heat without
completing the startup procedures detailed under
“Startup,” p. 38.
Trane will not assume responsibility for equipment
damage resulting from accumulation of condensate on the
unit electrical components.

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. 19 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.
the unit into the ductwork. Refer to figures beginning on
page 13 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,
Supply Air opening, and Return Air openings.
c. Insulation must be installed on the bottom of the
condenser section of the unit.
Horizontal Ductwork
When attaching the ductwork to a horizontal supply or
horizontal return unit, provide a water tight flexible
connector at the unit to prevent noise transmission from

Condensate Drain Connection
Each commercial rooftop unit is equipped with one (1) 11/4 inch Female PVC condensate drain connection.
Refer to Figure 11, p. 18 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. 21.
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.

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, p. 24. 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 could
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 code could result in death or serious injury.
1. Table 7, p. 25 and Ta b le 10 , p . 2 6 list the electrical
service sizing 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 27 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
Wire Sizing and Protection Device Equations” on
page 27 for determining correct size.
Location for the electrical service entrance is shown in
the unit dimensional drawings beginning with
Figure 1, p. 13. 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.
Figure 18. Typical field power wiring
Through-the-Base Electrical (Optional
Accessory)
Liquid-tight conduit couplings are secured to the base of
the unit for both power and control wiring. Liquid-tight
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.

Calculation #1 - TC*, YC*-27.5 to 50 Ton Units
MCA = (1.25 x Load 1) + Load 2 + Load 4
MOP = (2.25 x Load 1) + Load 2 + Load 4 (See Note 1)
RDE = (1.5 x Load 1) + Load 2 + Load 4 (See Note 2)
Calculation # 2 - TE*-27.5 to 50 Ton Units
A. Single Source Power (all voltages)
To calculate the correct MCA (Minimum Circuit Ampacity),
MOP (Maximum Over current Protection), and RDE
(Recommended Dual Element fuse size), two (2) sets of
calculations must be performed;
1. Calculate the MCA, MOP and/or RDE values using the
above equation as if the unit is operating in the cooling
mode.
2. Calculate the MCA, MOP and/or RDE values as if the
unit is operating in the heating mode, as follows:
Note: When determining loads, the compressors and
condenser fan motors do not operate during the
heating cycle.
Units with less than 50 KW Heaters
MCA = 1.25 x (Load 1 + Load 2 + Load 4) + (1.25 x Load 3)
Units with 50 KW or Larger Heaters
MCA = 1.25 x (Load 1 + Load 2 + Load 4) + Load 3
The MCA value stamped on the nameplate is the largest of
the two calculated values.
MOP = (2.25 x Load 1) + Load 2 + Load 3 + Load 4 (See Note
1)
The MOP value stamped on the nameplate is the largest of
the two calculated values.
RDE = (1.5 x Load 1) + Load 2 + Load 3 + Load 4 (See Note 2)
Note: Select an over current protection device equal to
the MOP value. If the calculated MOP value does
not equal a standard size protection device listed in
NEC 240-6, select the next lower over current
protection device. If the calculated MOP value is
less than the MCA value, select the lowest over
current protection device which is equal to or larger
than the MCA, providing the selected over current
device does not exceed 800 amps.
Note: Select a Dual Element Fuse equal to the RDE value.

Installation Piping
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.
WARNING
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 or lead to excessive carbon
monoxide. 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 in
Figure 11, p. 18 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
Table 18, p. 37 to determine the appropriate gas pipe
size for the heating capacity listed on the unit's
nameplate.
If a gas line already exists, verify that it is sized large
enough (Table 18, p. 37) 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.
WARNING
Hazard of Explosion!
Never use an open flame to detect gas leaks. It could
result in an explosion. Use a leak test solution 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.
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 to
Figure 33, p. 37 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.

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 six 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.
5. Single Zone Variable Supply Air Volume with No Heat.
6. Single Zone 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
“Mechanical Cooling with an Economizer,” p. 49 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 economizer damper position as long as the
active exhaust fan setpoint has been exceeded - set via
RTOM, through BAS, or calculated (SZ VAV only). The
actuator limits the maximum travel of the exhaust
barometric damper.
RTAM - ReliaTel Air Handler Module
(Standard with Traditional 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. 38.)

Figure 36. RTVM module
Figure 37.RTDM module
The RTVM (Ventilation 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
atmospheric pressure. The Space Pressure Setpoint and
Space Pressure Deadband are set by adjusting
potentiometers located on the RTVM. Also, units
configured for Single Zone VAV control with Demand
Controlled ventilation will require an RTVM for the
additional, required Outside Air damper minimum
position setpoint potentiometers.
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.

Switch 3 and 4 operation are explained under “supply air
temperature reset”.
Switch 5 is “OFF” for DWU Disabled and “ON” for DWU
Enabled.
The RTAM module provides a 0 to 10 Vdc output to control
the Variable Frequency Drive. DIP switches located on the
RTAM configures the unit to use the output for 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 or for Single Zone VAV
units with modulating gas heat, 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. 38 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.

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) x 1.12
Overload Setting = (Compressor RLA) x 1.12

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.
Note: Compressor cycle rate minimization, extends
compressor life expectancy. Minimizes damaging
compressor inrush current, and guards against
short cycling.
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
and Single Zone VAV units. When the fan mode switch
on the Zone Sensor Module is set in the auto position,
the RTRM provides individual supply fan timing

Startup
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. Economizer preferred cooling allows fully integrated
economizer operation with mechanical cooling if
actually needed.
On Constant Volume and Single Zone VAV
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 required to
operate.
7. 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 or SZ VAV Unit w/Mechanical ZSM
If the unit has a valid cooling and heating setpoint, the
setup/setback is a minimum of 7°F.
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.
If the unit is configured as a Constant Volume unit and
a conventional thermostat is used, this input is ignored
and the unit will respond to thermostat requests as
during normal occupied mode.
VAV unit w/o ICS or NSB energizes 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.
8. 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°F
Cooling Setpoint = 70°F
The control temperature for the economizer will be 1.5°F
above the heating setpoint
due to it producing the least amount of offset.
Heating Setpoint = 55°F
Cooling Setpoint = 75°F
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:
1. The zone temperature minus the economizer setpoint,
and
2. The zone temperature minus the outdoor air
temperature.
Note: Table 20lists the percentages the dampers will
open based on these conditions.
Table 20. Percent of damper travel

0.0-0.5 0.5-1.0 1.0-2.0 2.0-3.0 3.0-5.0 >5.0
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.
Modulating Power Exhaust
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 and SZ VAV)
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. Table 21 lists the compressor stepping
sequence.

Zone Temperature - Occupied Cooling (CV
and SZ VAV)
When the unit is in the cooling mode and the zone
temperature raises above the cooling setpoint control
band, the economizer and the compressor stages will be
cycled as required by the zone sensor, remote panel, or
Tracer®. For SZ VAV control, the fan capacity will also be
controlled in order to meet the zone cooling demand.
Zone Temperature - Occupied Heating (CV
and SZ VAV)
When the unit is in the heating mode and the zone
temperature falls below the heating setpoint control band,
the necessary stages of heat will cycle to raise the
temperature to within the setpoint control band. For SZ
VAV, the fan capacity will also be controlled in order to
meet the zone heating demand.
Supply Fan (CV and SZ VAV)
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 on traditional CV
units. For SZ VAV units, the supply fan will be controlled
ON based on the zone cooling demand. Once ON, the unit
will begin staging cooling capacity (economizer and/or
compressors) in order to meet the discharge air
requirements. Once the zone has been satisfied, the
supply fan will be controlled OFF. When the Fan Selection
Switch is in the “ON” position, the supply fan will run
continuously. If airflow 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 and SZ VAV)
CV Units with Staged Heat
This function allows the supply air temperature to be
maintained within a low limit parameter during minimum
ventilation periods. For CV units configured with a Staged
Heat design (Electric or Gas) and Supply Air Tempering
operation enabled, if the following items are true, the unit
will enter Supply Air Tempering mode:
1. The supply fan is ON.
2. The unit is in Occupied mode.
3. Zone Temp. is less than the active Cooling setpoint.
4. The unit is in Heat mode but is not actively heating OR
5. The unit is in AUTO-COOL mode but not actively
cooling and cooling capacity has been OFF for 5
minutes.
Once the above conditions are met, if the supply air
temperature drops to 10°F BELOW the Occupied Heating
Zone Temperature Setpoint, the SA Tempering function
will bring ON one stage of gas or electric heat.
Once SA Tempering is active, heating will be turned OFF if
the Supply Air Temperature rises to 10°F ABOVE the Active
Occupied Zone Heating Setpoint, or the Zone Temperature
rises to the Active Zone Cooling Setpoint. Also, if the Zone
Heat Control function is calling for 1 or more stages of
Heat, Tempering will be discontinued and the unit will
stage additional heating to meet the current demand.
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. The same conditions
must be met as described above for entering and leaving
Tempering operation.
42 RT-SVX34F-EN
Page 43
Startup
CV Units with Modulating Heat
On units with Modulating Gas Heat, Supply Air Tempering
is inherent to the Modulating Heat design and does not
require any additional configuration/enabling. Modulating
Heat Tempering is accomplished by allowing the unit to
return to heating if the Zone is marginally satisfied and the
Supply Air temperature begins to fall. The following
conditions must be true to enable the unit to perform
“Tempering”:
1. The supply fan is ON.
2. The unit is in Occupied mode.
3. Zone Temp. is less than the active Cooling setpoint.
4. The unit is in Heat mode but is not actively heating OR
5. The unit is in AUTO-COOL mode but not actively
cooling and cooling capacity has been OFF for 5
minutes.
Once the above conditions are met, and the supply air
temperature drops below the ZHSP - 10°F, the unit will
transition back into active heating operation and will begin
to control the modulating heat output to maintain the
supply air temperature.
Once the unit has entered into Tempering mode, the unit
will leave active heating either by normal heat termination
as determined by the heating control algorithm or when
the Zone Temperature reaches the active ZCSP.
SZ VAV Units with Staged Heat
For SZ VAV units configured with a Staged Heating type,
the Supply Air Tempering function will operate as on a CV
unit with Staged Heat.
SZ VAV Units with Modulating Heat
For units configured with a Modulating Heat type,
“Tempering” is an extension of normal Heating control
which allows a transition from inactive “Auto-Cool” mode
to Heating based on supply air temperature if the Zone
Temperature is in control. The following conditions must
be true to allow the unit to enter Supply Air Tempering:
1. Supply Fan is ON.
2. The unit is in Occupied mode.
3. The unit is operating in Auto-Cool Mode.
4. Cooling has been inactive for 5 minutes.
When the above conditions are true, Tempering will be
allowed when the Supply Air Temperature falls below the
user selectable Minimum Supply Air Cooling Setpoint
(minus deadband) as long as the Zone Temperature is <
ZCSP - 1°F. Once the unit transitions into “Tempering” the
unit will transition to normal heating control and will
control the supply air temperature between the minimum
and maximum supply air setpoints.
If the Zone Temperature rises above the ZCSP during
“Tempering” the unit will de-energize Heating and
“Tempering” will be disabled until conditions allow for it
again. Normal Auto-Changeover requirements will be in
control to allow the unit to transition into Active Cool
mode.
Variable Air Volume Applications
(Single Zone VAV)
Supply Fan Output Control
Units configured for Single Zone VAV will include a VFD
controlled supply fan motor which will be controlled via
the 0-10Vdc Indoor Fan Speed output located on the RTOM
and the RTRM Supply Fan output. With the RTRM Supply
Fan output energized and the RTOM Indoor Fan Speed
output at 0Vdc the fan speed output is 58% (35Hz) from the
VFD motor and at 10Vdc the fan speed output is 100%
(60Hz). The control will scale the 0-10Vdc output from the
RTOM linearly to control between the 58%-100%
controllable range based on the space heating or cooling
demand.

Supply Fan Mode Operation
Units configured for Single Zone VAV control will utilize
Supply Fan Mode selection as is currently implemented
into Reliatel controls for normal Zone Control and will be
selectable between AUTO and ON via a connected Zone
Sensor module or through BAS/Network controllers.
Supply Fan Mode Auto Operation
For active Cooling, Heating, and Dehumidification
operation the Supply Fan will be commanded ON and will
ramp up to the appropriate minimum speed once the unit
determines that there is a request for capacity control.
Once the active request is cleared and all capacity is deenergized normal supply fan off delays as implemented on
constant volume units will be in effect. During the Supply
Fan Off-Delay, the supply fan will remain energized for the

predetermined time at the previous unit function's
minimum speed. All other cases which would bring the
Supply Fan ON will function as on non-Single Zone VAV
units.
Supply Fan Mode ON Operation
For active unit control with the Supply Fan Mode set to ON,
the unit will energize the Supply Fan and hold the Fan
Speed output at minimum speed until there is a request for
the fan speed to increase. This will hold true for all cases
except during Unoccupied periods in which the Supply
Fan Mode is forced to AUTO and will operate the Supply
Fan as described above for all Cooling, Heating, and
Dehumidification requests.
Setpoint Arbitration
Single Zone VAV units will require traditional Zone
Heating (if Heat installed) and Cooling Setpoints that are
used constant volume units in addition to two new
setpoints: Discharge Air Cool (DA Cool - Fan SPD) and
Discharge Air Heat (DA Heat) Setpoint limits. The Zone
Heating and Cooling Setpoints will be selectable via the
existing RTRM customer connections for a Zone Sensor
panel and the DA Heat and Cool Setpoints will be customer
selectable via two onboard potentiometers on the RTOM
with ranges 50-150°F and 40-90°F respectively.
Tab le 2 2 and Table 23 below can be used as a reference
when setting the DA Heat (R42) and DA Cool - Fan SPD
(R136) setpoints on the RTOM. Note that the
recommended settings for these setpoints is 100°F for the
DA Heat Setpoint and 50°F for the DA Cool - Fan SPD

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.
Demand Controlled Ventilation
Units configured for SZVAV and Demand Controlled
Ventilation (CO2 sensor value available) require a new
control scheme comprised of 2 existing schemes that have
been traditionally mutually exclusive; DCV and OA CFM
Compensation.
Units configured with DCV will invoke the new Demand
Controlled Ventilation scheme which allows variable Bldg.

Position Target setpoints based on the supply fan speed

This new scheme will require the setting of 5 OA Damper
position setpoints; 3 more than on non-SZ VAV. These new
setpoints are located on the RTVM module:
1. Design Min Position @ Minimum Fan Speed
Command (RTVM R130)
2. Design Min Position @ Middle Fan Speed Command

3. Design Min Position @ Full Fan Speed Command
(RTEM Design Min Position)
4. DCV Min Position @ Minimum Fan Speed Command
(RTVM R41)
5. DCV Min position @ Full Fan Speed Command (RTEM
DCV Min Position)
As the supply fan speed command varies between
minimum and maximum, the Building Design and DCV
Minimum Position Targets will be calculated linearly
between the user selected setpoints based on the
instantaneous supply fan speed. The Bldg. Design and
DCV Minimum Position Targets will be used to calculate
the Active OA Damper Minimum Position Target, as on
traditional units, based on the Space CO
relative to the
2
active Design and DCV CO2 setpoints. Refer to Figure 40,
p. 45 for additional details on the design.
The Design Minimum and DCV Minimum OA Damper
Position setpoints at Minimum Fan Speed Command and
the Design Minimum OA Damper Position setpoint at
Middle Fan Speed Command will have a range of 0-100%
while the Design Minimum and DCV Minimum OA
Damper Position setpoints at Full fan speed will have a
range of 0-50%. Note that as on non-Single Zone VAV
units, a 10% offset will be enforced between the Design
and DCV Minimum Positions throughout the fan speed
range.
By default, the Design Minimum Position schedule (red
line below) will be a linear line through all user selectable
Design Minimum Position setpoints. The user will have the
ability to set the Design Minimum Position at Middle fan
speed command to a point that would be lower than the
calculated linear line between the Design Minimum
Position setpoints at 0% and 100% fan speed command in
order to compensate for the non-linear outside airflow
through the fan and damper modulation range. However,
if the Design Minimum Position at Middle fan speed
command is set to a point that would be higher than the
calculated linear line between the Design Minimum
Position setpoints at Minimum and Full fan speed
command, the minimum position will be limited to the
point that would make the Design Minimum Position
schedule linear.
Provisions have been made in Service Test Mode to allow
for proper damper minimum position setup:
1. To set the Design and DCV Minimum Position setpoints
at Minimum Fan Speed, set the unit to operate at Step
1 (Fan ON) or Step 2 (Economizer Open) and make the
proper adjustments.
2. To set the Design Minimum Position setpoint at Middle
Fan Speed, set the unit to operate at Step 3 (Cool 1) and
make the proper adjustment.
3. To set the Design and DCV Minimum Position setpoints
at Full Fan Speed, set the unit to operate at Step 4 (Cool

Space Pressure Control
For units configured with an exhaust fan, with or without
Statitrac, the control described previously for economizer
minimum position handling requires additional changes
to the existing Space Pressure Control scheme. The overall
scheme will remain very similar to non-Single Zone VAV
units with Space Pressure Control with the exception of a
dynamic Exhaust Enable Setpoint.
For Single Zone VAV the user will select an Exhaust Enable
Setpoint during the Maximum Fan Speed Command.
Once selected, the difference between the Exhaust Enable
Setpoint and Design OA Damper Minimum Position at
Maximum Fan Speed Command will be calculated. The
difference calculated will be used as an offset to be added
to the Active Building Design OA Minimum Position Target
to calculate the dynamic Exhaust Enable Target to be used
throughout the Supply Fan Speed/OA Damper Position
range
For Cooling, Heating (Modulating Heat Only), and
Dehumidification operation the unit will control the active
capacity outputs to meet a varying, calculated Discharge
Air Setpoint that is calculated based on zone conditions in
order to maintain the Zone Temperature to the active Zone
Setpoint. Note that this setpoint will be clamped between
the user selected DA Heat and DA Cool - Fan Speed
setpoints that are set on the RTOM for compressor and
economizer control. In general, as the zone temperature
rises above the ZCSP, the Active Discharge Air Setpoint will
be calculated down and as the zone temperature falls
below the ZHSP Tset will be calculated upward. This
calculated setpoint is a direct indication of space demand
and is also used to determine the proper supply fan speed
to meet the space requirements. During active capacity
control, the unit will utilize a +/- 3.5°F deadband around the
active Discharge Air Setpoint to determine when to
request additional heating or cooling capacity similarly to
traditional VAV control, as described below. If the unit is
maintaining the discharge air temperature within the +/-
3.5°F deadband around the calculated discharge air
setpoint requirements, no additional capacity will be
requested.
The calculated setpoint will also be used for active
economizer control, but the economizer will utilize a
tighter control deadband (+/- 1.5°F) than that is used for
46 RT-SVX34F-EN

compressor output control. Also, as on Traditional VAV
units, mechanical cooling will be inhibited if economizing
is enabled until the economizer has been full open for 3
minutes.
Variable Air Volume Applications
(Traditional VAV)
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 +/- 3.5°F. 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.
VHR Relay Output
During unoccupied mode, daytime warm-up (DWU) and
morning warm-up (MWU) the VFD 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
10°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 (DWU) Control
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.
Figure 43. Output vs. input
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
48 RT-SVX34F-EN
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.
VAV Supply Air Tempering (Only Available
with Modulating Gas Heat)
The gas heater 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 gas heat
combustion blower 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”. Tempering will be
discontinued whenever;
a. The 5 minutes “Supply Air Tempering Delay” timer
has timed-out and;
b. There is an active cooling request for VAV Occupied
Cooling.

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 or SZ VAV 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 cooling capacity will be
controlled 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.
Note: On SZ VAV units, the Supply Air Fan Speed will be
controlled as during normal occupied conditions in
order to meet the requirements of the zone.
Unoccupied mode does not require full airflow on
a SZ VAV unit during Cooling operation.

Two of the three methods for determining the suitability of

on the Economizer Actuator, as described below:
1. Ambient Temperature - controlling the economizing

2. Reference Enthalpy - controlling the economizer cycle

While a building is in an unoccupied period as designated
by a remote panel with night setback or ICS, the necessary
heating capacity will be controlled to maintain the zone
temperature to within the unoccupied setpoint deadband.
For traditional VAV systems, the VFD 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. For SZ VAV systems, the
Supply Air Fan VFD will remain in control as during normal
occupied periods and will be controlled in order to meet
the space requirements. The minimum fan speed will be
based on the configured unit heating type. For Modulating
Heat units, Full Airflow is not required for SZ VAV
applications during Unoccupied periods. For all Staged
Heating types, the Supply Fan will be controlled at
maximum fan speed during active heating operation as
during Occupied periods.
Mechanical Cooling with an Economizer
The economizer is utilized to control the zone temperature
when 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.
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 capabilities 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 and
the unit is configured as a Constant Volume with staged or
modulating gas heat, or SZ VAV with staged gas heat, 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. If the unit is configured for SZ
RT-SVX34F-EN49
Page 50
Startup
VAV with modulating heat, the fan will be energized with
the call for heating in order to begin circulating airflow
through the unit for discharge air temperature control.
Once the call for heating is removed, the fan will remain on
for approximately 90 seconds.
Electric Heat Control
The RTRM provides two heating outputs for 1st and 2nd
stages that will be controlled with at least a 10 seconds
delay between each stage. When the fan selection switch
is in the “AUTO” mode and the unit is configured for
Constant Volume, the fan will start approximately 1
st
second before the 1
heater stage is activated. The fan and
heater will cycle off after the heating setpoint has been
satisfied. If the unit is configured for SZ VAV control, the
Supply Fan will energize approximately 5 seconds prior to
energizing the electric heat outputs. Once the Zone
Heating requirements have been satisfied, the fan and
heat outputs will be controlled off.
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 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 the Pressurize Mode 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, or the VFD to run at full speed (SZ VAV and
Traditional VAV), 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, or the VFD to run at full speed
(SZ VAV or Traditional VAV), 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 (exhaust damper at
100% if configured for Statitrac), 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 26 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

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.
For SZ VAV units the default power exhaust enable
setpoint will be 25% as on non-SZ VAV units. However, for
SZ VAV the Exhaust Enable Setpoint will need to be
adjusted for the proper setpoint during the maximum Fan
Speed Command for the unit. Once selected, the
difference between the Exhaust Enable Setpoint and
Design OA Damper Minimum Position at Full Fan Speed
Command will be calculated. The difference calculated will
be used as an offset to be added to the Active Building
Design OA Minimum Position Target to calculate the
dynamic Exhaust Enable Target to be used throughout the
Supply Fan Speed/OA Damper Position range:
Exhaust Enable Target = Active Bldg Design OA Min
Position Target + (Active Exhaust Enable Setpoint – Active
Bldg Design OA Min Position @ Full Fan Speed Command)
The Exhaust Enable Target could be above or below the
Active Bldg Design OA Min Position Target Setpoint based
on the Active Exhaust Enable Setpoint being set above or
below the Bldg Design Min Position at Full Fan Speed
Command. Note that an Exhaust Enable Setpoint of 0%
will result in the same effect on Exhaust Fan control as on
non-Single Zone VAV applications with and without
Statitrac; Exhaust Fan ON. See Figure 44, p. 51 for how the
exhaust enable setpoint is modified throughout the OA
damper operating range.

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,

temperature discharge limit opens, the RTRM senses a lack
of current while calling for cooling and locks both
Maximum Fan Speed Minimum Fan Speed Middle Fan Speed
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.
Space Pressure Control - Statitrac

space (building) static pressure. The user-defined control
parameters used in this control scheme are Space
Pressure Setpoint and Space Pressure Deadband. As the
Power Exhaust Control (Standard)
The power exhaust fan is started whenever the position of
the economizer dampers meets or exceed the power

Power Exhaust Control (Tracking)
The power exhaust dampers proportionally track or follow
the fresh air (economizer) damper position. The offset
between the fresh air and the exhaust damper(s) is
adjustable, see figures beginning with Figure 51, p. 73.
Refer to Power Exhaust Fan Performance” tables
beginning with Table 49, p. 73.
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. 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 in control during active
dehumidification or cooling 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 initially, and then if the EET remains below 35ºF
for an additional 10 minutes, the second circuit will be
staged off. For single circuit units one compressor will be
staged off initially, and then if the EET remains below 35ºF
for an additional 10 minutes, the second circuit will be
staged off. When the unit is operating in dehumidification
mode, only the reheat circuit will be re-enabled if the EET
rises above 45ºF. The cooling circuit will not be re-enabled
during dehumidification until the unit leaves the current
dehumidification cycle or a dehumidification purge is
initiated. If the unit is operating in Cooling, the first circuit
that de-energized will be re-enabled when the EET rises
above 45ºF. The second compressor will be allowed to reenergize at 10 minutes after the EET rises above 45ºF or if
a purge cycle is initiated.

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 28 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 46, p. 53 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 deenergized for approximately seven seconds to prevent
problems with fan windmill.

Notes:
1. The Compressor(s) listed under each step are the operating
compressors. On 27.5 to 35 Ton units with Lead/Lag, CPR1 will
alternate but the fan sequence will remain the same. On 40 & 50
Ton units with Lead/Lag, the compressor(s) in step 2 & 3 will
alternate and the fan sequence listed for that step will be in
operation.
3. During active dehumidification all compressors will be staged “On”.
For units equipped with four condenser fans (40 and 50 Ton), the
condenser fan output states will be controlled based on the O/A
temperature. If O/A is above 85°F, all condenser fan outputs will be
energized. If O/A falls below 80°F, Output B will de-energize and will
not re-energize again until the O/A rises above 85°F.
For units configured with three condenser fans (27.5 to 35 Ton), a
maximum of two condenser fans will energize. Output A will
energize above 85°F and de-energize when the O/A falls below
80°F; Output B will remain de-energized during active
dehumidification. If O/A falls below 80°F, Output A will de-energize
and will not re-energize again until O/A rises above 85°F

Preparing the Unit for Operation
Be sure to complete all of the procedures described in this
section before starting the unit for the first time.
Use the checklist provided below in conjunction with the
“Installation Checklist” to ensure that the unit is properly
installed and ready for operation.
WARNI NG
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.
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:
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be
inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power
before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
•Open the disconnect switch or circuit protector switch
that provides the supply power to the unit's power
terminal block or to the unit mounted disconnect
switch.
•To be consistent with the compressor leads, connect
the phase sequence indicator leads to the terminal
block or unit mounted disconnect switch as follows;
Table 29. Phase sequence leads

Red (phase A)L1
Blue (phase B)L2
Black (Phase C)L3
•Turn the “System” selection switch to the “Off”
position and the “Fan” selection switch (if Applicable)
to the “Auto” position.
•Close the disconnect switch or circuit protector switch
that provides the supply power to the unit's power
terminal block or unit mounted disconnect switch.
WARNING
Live Electrical Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and
troubleshooting of this product, it may be necessary to
work with live electrical components. Have a qualified
licensed electrician or other individual who has been
properly trained in handling live electrical components
perform these tasks. Failure to follow all electrical safety
precautions when exposed to live electrical
components could result in death or serious injury.
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
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:
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 or SZ
VAV units is in the “Auto” position.
Close the main power disconnect switch and the unit
mounted disconnect switch, if applicable.
WARNING
Live Electrical Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and
troubleshooting of this product, it may be necessary to
work with live electrical components. Have a qualified
licensed electrician or other individual who has been
properly trained in handling live electrical components
perform these tasks. Failure to follow all electrical safety
precautions when exposed to live electrical
components could result in death or serious injury.
HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT AT TERMINAL BLOCK HTB1
OR UNIT DISCONNECT SWITCH.
Upon power initialization, the RTRM performs selfdiagnostic 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.
shorting across the two test terminals for two to three
seconds.
For the initial startup of either a Constant Volume or
Variable Air Volume (Single Zone or Traditional) 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 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 31, p. 56 - Table 36, p. 58.
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.
Table 30. Service test switch
Test Modes
There are three methods in which the “Test” mode can be
cycled at LTB1-Test 1 and LTB1-Test 2.

The following procedure involves working with live and
exposed rotating components. Have a qualified or
licensed service individual who has been properly
trained in handling exposed rotating components,
perform these tasks. Failure to follow all safety
precautions could result in rotating components
cutting and slashing technician which could result in
death or serious injury.
Using Table 31, p. 56 to Table 36, p. 58 as a reference,
momentarily jump across the test terminals to start the
Minimum Ventilation Test.
The Exhaust Fan will start anytime the economizer damper
position is equal to or greater than the exhaust fan
setpoint.
The economizer will drive to the minimum position
setpoint, exhaust fans may start at random, and the supply
fan will start.
Once the supply fan has started, check for proper rotation.
The direction of rotation is indicated by an arrow on the fan
housing.
If the fan is rotating backwards, open the main power
disconnect switch upstream of the unit terminal block or
the unit factory mounted disconnect switch.
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.
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, the VFD will be under control
of the discharge Static Pressure setpoint for the
first six minutes of this test mode. Verify that 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 Figure 47, p. 62
and Figure 48, p. 62.
Theoretical BHP Formula:
Where the two points intersect, read straight down to the
CFM line. Use Table 45, p. 69 to select a new fan drive if the
CFM is not within specifications.
WARN ING
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.
Interchange any two of the field connected power wires at
the unit terminal block or factory mounted disconnect
switch.
Note: Interchanging “Load” side power wires at the
supply fan contactor will only affect the Fan
Rotation. Ensure that the voltage phase sequence
at the main unit terminal block or the unit mounted
disconnect switch is ABC as outlined in “Electrical
Phasing,” p. 54.

Exhaust Fan Operation
To start the optional power exhaust fans, use the
economizer test procedures in Table 31, p. 56 - Table 36,
p. 58 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!
The following procedure involves working with live and
exposed rotating components. Have a qualified or
licensed service individual who has been properly
trained in handling exposed rotating components,
perform these tasks. Failure to follow all safety
precautions could result in rotating components
cutting and slashing technician which could result in
death or serious injury.
The exhaust fan will start anytime the economizer damper
position is equal to or greater than the exhaust fan
setpoint.
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 49, p. 73 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 active 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.

RTRM.
11. 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 31, p. 56 - Table 36, p. 58 for the Cooling Test
sequence.
Important: 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.
Figure 56. 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.
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 Table 58,
p. 78 through Table 71, p. 84 to determine the proper
operating pressures for that circuit.
76 RT-SVX34F-EN
Page 77
Startup
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 61, p. 79 through
Table 71, p. 84 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 in Figure 57,
p. 77, and Figure 58, p. 77.
Figure 57.Line weight locations — 50 Ton
Figure 58. Line weight locations — 40 Ton
Compressor Oil
Once all of the compressors have been started, verify that
the oil level is visible through the sight glass or above the
sight glass. Use appropriate lighting (flash light) to verify
the presence of oil. A tandem manifold set may have
different oil heights, but still must be visible in the sight
glass or above the sight glass.
After shutting the compressors off, check the oil’s
appearance. Discoloration of the oil indicates that an
abnormal condition has occurred. If the oil is dark,
overheating may have occurred. Potential causes of
overheating: compressor is operating at extremely high
condensing temperatures; high superheat; a compressor
mechanical failure; or, occurrence of a motor burnout. If
the oil is black and contains metal flakes, a mechanical
failure has occurred. This symptom is often accompanied
by a high compressor amperage draw.
Refer to the Refrigeration system in the maintenance
section for details on testing and replacing oil.
Because the scroll compressor is designed to
accommodate liquids (both oil and refrigerant) and solid
particles without causing compressor damage, there are
some characteristic sounds that differentiate it from those
typically associated with a reciprocating compressor.
These sounds (which are described below) are
characteristic, and do not affect the operation or reliability
of the compressor.
At Shutdown
When a Scroll compressor shuts down, the gas within the
scroll compressor expands and causes momentary
reverse rotation until the discharge check valve closes.
This results in a “flutter” type sound.
At Low Ambient Startup
When the compressor starts up under low ambient
conditions, the initial flow rate of the compressor is low
due to the low condensing pressure. This causes a low
differential across the thermal expansion valve that limits
its capacity. Under these conditions, it is not unusual to
hear the compressor rattle until the suction pressure
climbs and the flow rate increases.
During Normal Operation
The scroll compressor emits a higher frequency tone
(sound) than a reciprocating compressor.
Compressor Crankcase Heaters
Each compressor is equipped with a crankcase heater.
When the compressor is “Off”, the crankcase heater is
energized. When the compressor is “On”, the crankcase
heater is de-energized. The proper operation of the
crankcase heater is important to maintain an elevated
compressor oil temperature during the “Off” cycle which
reduces the potential for refrigerant to migrate into the
compressor oil.
If present during a compressor start, liquid refrigerant
could damage compressor bearings due to reduced
lubrication and eventually could cause compressor
mechanical failures.
Prior to the initial start or when power to the unit has been
“Off” for an extended period, allow the crankcase heater to
operate a minimum of 8 hours before starting the unit.
Charging by Subcooling
The unit is shipped with a complete refrigerant charge.
However, if it becomes necessary to add refrigerant, it
should be done so by adding charge to obtain an
acceptable subcooling as described below. Refer to the
maintenance section for proper refrigerant charging
practices.
The outdoor ambient temperature must be between 65°
and 105° F and the relative humidity of the air entering the
evaporator must be above 40 percent. When the
temperatures are outside of these ranges, measuring the
operating pressures can be meaningless.
With the unit operating at “Full Circuit Capacity”,
acceptable subcooling ranges between 14° F to 22° F.
Measuring Subcooling
WARNI NG
R-410A Refrigerant under Higher Pressure
than R-22!
The units described in this manual use R-410A
refrigerant which operates at higher pressures than R22 refrigerant. Use ONLY R-410A rated service
equipment or components with these units. For
specific handling concerns with R-410A, please contact
your local Trane representative.
Failure to use R-410A rated service equipment or
components could result in equipment exploding under
R-410A high pressures which could result in death,
serious injury, or equipment damage.
1. At the liquid line service valve, measure the liquid line
pressure. Using a Refrigerant R-410A pressure/
temperature chart, convert the pressure reading into
the corresponding saturated temperature.
2. Measure the actual liquid line temperature as close to
the liquid line service valve as possible. To ensure an
accurate reading, clean the line thoroughly where the
temperature sensor will be attached. After securing the
sensor to the line, insulate the sensor and line to isolate
it from the ambient air.
Note: Glass thermometers do not have sufficient contact
area to give an accurate reading.
3. Determine the system subcooling by subtracting the
actual liquid line temperature (measured in step 2)
from the saturated liquid temperature (converted in
step 1).
Gas Heat Units
Open the main disconnect switch to shut the unit off and
to reset the RTRM.
Follow the Test Guide in Table 31, p. 56 - Table 36, p. 58 to
start the unit in the heating mode. Jumping the “Test”
terminals several times for two to three seconds will be
required.
When starting the unit for the first time or servicing the
heaters, it is a good practice to start the heater with the
main gas supply turned “Off”.
All heating units have either two stage or modulating heat
capabilities. The “High” heat models contain two heat
exchangers. In staged units, the heat exchangers operate
simultaneously at either the low or high fire state. In
modulating units, the modulating furnace fires first and
adjusts to the needed capacity. If more heat is required
RT-SVX34F-EN85
Page 86
Startup
than the modulating can provide, the second bank is fired
at full fire and the modulating bank again adjusts to the
heating load present.
Check both ignition systems (if applicable) when going
through the test procedures.
Once the ignition system and ignitors have been checked,
open the main power disconnect switch to reset the RTRM.
WARN ING
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 and result in a fire. 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.
Turn the main gas supply to the unit “On” and check the
gas pressure at the unit's gas train. Refer to “Installation
Piping,” p. 36 for the proper gas supply pressure and
Figure 33, p. 37 for the location of the gas pressure taps.
Close the main power disconnect switch and start the first
stage heating Test again. Wait approximately 60 seconds
for the heater to switch to low fire and check the manifold
gas pressure. The manifold pressure for a two stage
burner must be set at negative 0.2" w.c., +/- 0.05" w.c. The
manifold pressure on a modulating burner should be set
at a positive 0.5" w.c., +/-0.05” w.c. For modulating
burners, expect to see the manifold pressure reading
fluctuate while the burner is operating, but it should never
read negative.
WARNI NG
Hot Surfaces!
Surface temperatures may exceed 300°F (150°C) on flue
and heat exchanger components. Contact of bare skin
on hot surfaces could result in minor to severe burns.
Jump the test terminals momentarily to initiate second
stage heat operation. The combustion blower motor
should go to high speed. The second stage of heat in units
with modulating gas will initiate the second heater bank to
fire and both banks will operate at high fire. The manifold
pressures of the two heater banks in a high heat
modulating unit will be different. The pressure setting of
the two stage burner will be a negative 0.2" w.c., while the
modulating burner will be a positive 0.05" w.c.
Note: When firing a modulating unit for the first time, a
“humming”, or resonance sound may be heard.
This is an operational sound made by the burner
screen as it burns in. This sound is not a concern
unless it persists longer than the first few times the
unit is fired.
Electric Heat Units
Start the service test and check the amperage draw for
each heating stage. Refer to the heater electrical data in
Table 8, p. 26 (60 Hz) and Table 11, p. 27 (50 Hz) for the full
load amps of a specific heater size.
Once the operation of the heaters have been checked,
open the main power disconnect switch or the unit
mounted disconnect switch to shut the unit “Off” and to
reset the RTRM.
This concludes the setup and testing for the major
components and controls within the unit. Follow the Test
guide in Table 31, p. 56 - Table 36, p. 58 to verify that the
optional VFD, economizer actuator, and minimum
ventilation controls are functioning.
Final Unit Checkout
After completing all of the checkout and startup
procedures outlined in the previous sections (i.e.,
operating the unit in each of its modes through all
available stages of cooling and heating), perform these
final checks before leaving the unit:
•Verify that the RTRM is in the normal operation mode.
The LED located on the UCP module is “on” and
glowing continuously.
For Constant Volume Units
•Verify that the “Mode” selection switch and the “Zone
Temperature” setpoints are set and/or programmed at
the sensor modules.
For Variable Air Volume Units
The RTAM has input setpoint potentiometers inside the
control panel that are set at the factory which will allow the
unit to operate and maintain system control. For specific
job specifications;
•Verify that the control input potentiometers are set
according to the job specifications, i.e.;
– Outside air reset temperature - _______ Setpoint
– Reset amount °F. - _______ Setpoint

Sequence of Operation
Mechanical Cooling Sequence
Of Operation
Time delays are built into the controls to increase
reliability and performance by protecting the compressors
and maximizing unit efficiency.
Units Without an Economizer
For 27.5 to 35 Ton units, when mechanical cooling is
required, the RTRM energizes the Compressor Contactor
(CC1) coil. When the CC1 contacts close, the Compressor
CPR1 and Outdoor Fan Motor (ODM1) will start providing
the 3 minute “off” time has elapsed. ODM2 and ODM3
cycles off/on based on the outdoor ambient temperature
as measured by the Outdoor Air Sensor (OAS). CPR1
cycles off as required providing the 3 minute “on” time has
elapsed.
With CPR1 operating for a minimum of 3 minutes. If
additional cooling is required, the RTRM energizes the 2nd
compressor contactor (CC2) to bring on CPR2. While CPR1
continues to run, CPR2 cycles on/off as needed to meet the
cooling requirements.
For 40 Ton constant volume and variable air volume
applications, once CPR1 has operated for a minimum of 3
minutes, and additional cooling is required, the RTRM
cycles CPR1 off and energizes compressor contactor CC2.
If additional cooling is required, the RTRM energizes
compressor contactor (CC1) providing CPR1 has been off
for a minimum of 3 minutes. This configuration will allow
the dual circuit unit to operate with three steps of cooling
if CPR1 is the lead compressor.
For 50 Ton constant volume and variable air volume
applications, once CPR1 has operated for a minimum of 3
minutes, and additional cooling is required, the RTRM
cycles CPR1 off and energizes compressor contactors CC2
and CC3 simultaneously. If additional cooling is required,
the RTRM energizes compressor contactor (CC1)
providing CPR1 has been off for a minimum of 3 minutes.
This configuration allow the dual circuit unit to operate
with three steps of cooling if CPR1 is the lead compressor.
If the indoor Fan selection switch is set to the “AUTO”
position on constant volume applications, the RTRM
energizes the Indoor Fan Contactor (F) coil approximately
one second after energizing first stage compressor
contactor (CC1). When the cooling cycle is complete and
CC1 is de-energized, the RTRM keeps the Fan on for
approximately 60 seconds to enhance unit efficiency. On
variable air volume applications, the Fan operates
continuously.
Economizer Operation Based on Dry Bulb
Standard economizer dry bulb change over has five field
selectable temperatures 55, 63, 67, 70, 73°F. Refer to
Table 25, p. 49 for the proper potentiometer setting for
each temperature selection.
The economizer option allows cooling utilizing outdoor air
when the temperature is below the specified dry bulb
setpoint (73° ±2°F factory setting). The air is drawn into the
unit through modulating dampers. The ECA modulates
the economizer dampers from minimum position to full
open based on a 1.5°F control point below either the space
temperature setpoint for constant volume applications or
1.5°F around the supply air temperature setpoint for
variable air volume applications.
If the Mixed Supply Air Sensor (MAS) senses that supply
air temperature is too cold, the dampers are held in their
current position until the supply air temperature rises, or
begin to modulate toward the minimum position if the
supply air temperature continues to drop.
The economizer control allows fully integrated cooling
operation between the compressor(s) and the economizer
when needed to satisfy the cooling setpoint. The RTRM
will not allow a compressor to operate until the
economizer dampers have been fully open for at least
three minutes. The RTRM evaluates the rate of
temperature change during this delay and will energize
compressor(s) as needed to maintain temperatures within
setpoint deadbands.
If a power exhaust option is installed:
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” that 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 is a slave to
the position of the economizer damper actuator such
that the power exhaust dampers proportionally follow
or track the fresh air damper position. The proportional
offset between the dampers is adjusted under the rain
hood by hole position selection of the power exhaust
actuator jack shaft on the damper linkage arm.
4. When the Statitrac™ option is selected, the Exhaust
Blade Actuator will modulate independently to the
economizer in order the relieve positive building
RT-SVX34F-EN89

Sequence of Operation
pressure. If the space pressure transducer fails, the
unit will revert back to fresh air tracking control.
Economizer Operation Based on Reference
Enthalpy
Reference enthalpy is accomplished by using an Outdoor
Humidity Sensor (OHS). The reference enthalpy is field
selectable to one of five standard enthalpies. Refer to
Table 25, p. 49 for the proper potentiometer setting for
each enthalpy selection.
If the outdoor air enthalpy is greater than the selected
reference enthalpy, the economizer will not operate and
the damper will not open past the minimum position
setting.
If the outdoor air enthalpy is less than the reference
enthalpy, the dampers will modulate to maintain a 45° to
55° F minimum supply air temperature (constant volume
or variable air volume applications). The ECA modulates
the economizer dampers from minimum position to fully
open based on a 1.5° F control point below either the space
temperature setpoint for constant volume applications or
1.5° F below the discharge air temperature setpoint for
variable air volume applications. With reference enthalpy
control, reference enthalpy is not allowed if the outdoor
temperature is below 32° F. Below 32° F, dry bulb
economizer control is enabled.
If communications between the Outdoor Humidity Sensor
(OHS) and the Economizer Actuator Control (ECA) were to
fail, the economizer will operate using the dry bulb
parameters.
Figure 59. Humidity vs. current input
Economizer Operation Based on
Comparative Enthalpy
Comparative enthalpy is accomplished by using an
outdoor humidity sensor (OHS), return humidity sensor
(RHS), and the return air sensor (RAS).
If the outdoor air enthalpy is greater than the return air
enthalpy, the economizer will not operate and the damper
will not open past the minimum position setting. The
economizer will not operate at outdoor air temperatures
above 75°F.
If the outdoor air enthalpy is less than the return air
enthalpy, the dampers will modulate to maintain a 45° to
55°F supply air temperature (constant volume or variable
air volume applications). The ECA modulates the
economizer dampers from minimum position to fully
open based on a 1.5°F control point below either the space
temperature setpoint for constant volume applications or
1.5°F around the supply air temperature setpoint for
variable air volume applications. Refer to Figure 59, p. 90
for the Humidity versus Voltage Input Values.
If either or both the return air humidity sensor (RHS) or the
return air sensor (RAS) fails, the economizer will operate
using the reference enthalpy setpoint perimeters.
Dehumidification (Modulating
Hot Gas Reheat) Sequence of
Operation
When the relative humidity in the controlled space (as
measured by the sensor assigned to space humidity
sensing) rises above the space humidity setpoint,
compressors and the supply fan will energize to reduce the
humidity in the space. All compressors on both refrigerant
circuits will be staged up during active dehumidification.
A Voyager Commercial Rooftop unit can contain one or
two refrigerant circuits. Units with dehumidification will
have one circuit with an outdoor condenser coil located in
the outdoor section for normal head pressure control and
a reheat coil located in the indoor air stream section for
supply air reheat; both coils are for the same circuit. For 4050 ton Voyager Commercial units the reheat circuit is
circuit# 2. For 27.5-35 ton Voyager Commercial units there
is only one circuit.
During dehumidification mode, the CLV and RHP will
modulate which will allow refrigerant to flow through both
the condenser coil and the reheat coil. The RHP will be deenergized when in dehumidification mode.
During dehumidification mode, the Supply Air
Temperature is controlled to the Supply Air Reheat
Setpoint by controlling the reheat and cooling modulating
valve position. The range for the Supply Air Reheat
Setpoint is 65°F to 80°F and the default is 70°F. The Supply
Air Reheat Setpoint is adjusted by using a potentiometer
on the RTOM.
90 RT-SVX34F-EN
Page 91
Sequence of Operation
During cooling operation, the cooling valve (CLV) will be
open 100% and the reheat valve (RHV) will be closed which
will allow refrigerant to flow through the condenser coil
and not the reheat coil. During cooling mode the reheat
pump-out solenoid (RHP) will also be energized to allow
refrigerant to be removed from the reheat coil.
During cooling or dehumidification mode, to ensure
proper oil distribution throughout the reheat and cooling
condenser circuits, a purge is initiated by a hard coded
purge interval timer. After the purge interval timer reaches
60 minutes, the unit performs a purge for a fixed 3-minute
time period. During this state the reheat and cooling valve
will be driven 50% and the reheat pump-out solenoid is
energized.
See Dehumidification Low Pressure Control section for the
reheat low pressure control (RLP) function during active
dehumidification.
See Dehumidification Frost Protection section for the
control scheme during active dehumidification.
See the Condenser Fan / Compressor sequence section for
Condenser fan staging during active dehumidification.
Sensible cooling or heating control overrides
dehumidification control. For both multi-circuit and single
circuit units, any sensible heating request will terminate
dehumidification control. If heating is active at the time a
call for dehumidification control is received the heating
operation must complete and an additional 5 minutes
from the time heat is terminated must elapse before
dehumidification will be allowed.
Note: Occupied VAV operation in cooling mode will
consider a critical zone temperature and when the
sensible cooling requirements of this zone are not
being met, the unit will terminate dehumidification
control.
Note: Occupied CV and all unoccupied operation will
terminate dehumidification if the sensible zone
cooling requirements exceeds one-half the
available cooling capacity of the unit.
Gas Heat Sequence Of Operation
When heating is required, the RTRM initiates the heating
cycle through the ignition control module (IGN). The IGN
normally open contacts close to start the combustion
blower motor (CBM) on high speed. Next, the IGN control
energizes the hot surface igniter (IP) for 45 seconds. After
a preheat period, the gas valve (GV) is energized for
approximately 7 seconds. If the burner lights, the gas valve
remains energized. If the burner fails to ignite, the ignition
module will attempt two retries and then lock out if flame
is not proven. The unit will attempt to ignite at 60 minute
intervals until the heating call is removed.
An IGN lockout due to flame loss can be reset by:
1. Open and close the main power disconnect switch.
2. Switch the MODE switch on the zone sensor to “Off”
and then to the desired position (VAV units – remove
and reapply the mode input).
3. Allow the IGN to reset automatically after one hour.
When ignition takes place, the hot surface igniter (IP) is deenergized and functions as the flame sensor.
Two Stage—If, after 60 seconds, the unit requires 1st stage
heating only, the IGN will change the combustion blower
from high speed to low speed. If additional heating is
required and first stage heat has been operating for a
minimum of 10 seconds, the IGN inducer relay will change
the combustion blower motor (CBM) to high speed,
delivering second stage heat capacity.
Modulating—Units with modulating heat will fire the
modulating bank first at high fire for 60 seconds. The unit
will then modulate the heater to the necessary rate. If the
modulating heat bank cannot satisfy the zone needs alone,
the second bank will come on and the modulating will find
the appropriate operating point.
Constant Volume (CV) Unit Fan Operation
If the Fan selection switch is in the “AUTO” position for
constant volume units, the RTRM will delay starting the
supply fan for 60 seconds to allow the heat exchanger to
warm up. When the zone temperature rises above the
heating setpoint, the IGN control module will terminate
the heat cycle. The supply fan remains energized for an
additional 90 seconds.
Variable Air Volume (VAV) Unit Fan
Operation (2 Stage and Modulating Gas
Heat)
During Unoccupied heating, Morning Warm up, and
Daytime Warm up mode, the VFD must be at 100%.
Therefore, before the unit can heat, the VHR relay must
have been energized for at least 6 minutes to ensure that
the VAV boxes have driven to maximum. For example, 6
minutes after a Daytime Warm up mode is initiated, the
VFD output will go to 100% and then the heat cycle will
begin. The VHR relay is energized during Unoccupied
mode, Morning Warm up mode, and Daytime Warm up
mode.
RT-SVX34F-EN91
Page 92
Sequence of Operation
Variable Air Volume (VAV) Unit Fan
Operation (Modulating Gas Heat Only)
During Changeover Heat (LTB5-1 shorted to LTB5-2), the
unit will heat to the Supply Air Heating Setpoint +/- 7ºF. The
VFD will modulate to maintain the Static Pressure
Setpoint.
Ignition Control Module
There is a green LED located on the ignition module. Any
time the Ignition module is powered, the LED will be on to
provide status of the ignition system.
•Steady OFF - no power/ internal failure
•Steady ON - no diagnostic, no call for heat
•Slow flash rate ¾ second on, ¼ second off - normal call
for heat
Error Code Flashes
•One flash - Communication loss between RTRM and
IGN
•Two flashes - System lockout; failed to detect or sustain
flame (3 tries, lockout after 3rd try)
•Three flashes - Not used
•Four flashes - High limit switch TCO1, TCO2, or TCO3
open (auto reset)
•Five flashes - Flame sensed and gas valve not
energized; or flame sensed and no call for heat (auto
reset)
The pause between groups of flashes is approximately
two seconds.
High Temperature Limit Operation and
Location
All of the heater limit controls are automatic reset. The
high limit cutouts (TCO1) and/or (TCO3) protect against
abnormally high supply air temperature. The fan failure
limit (TCO2) protects against abnormally high heat build
up due to excessive high limit (TCO1) (TCO3) cycling if the
indoor fan motor (IDM) fails. If TCO1, TCO2, or TCO3 open
during a heating call, the heat will shut down and the
supply fan will be forced to run. The heat will automatically
restart should the TCO circuit re-close during an active
heating call. While the TCO circuit is open, a heat fail
diagnostic will be sent from the IGN to the RTRM.
The TCO1 and TCO3 is located in the bottom right corner
of the burner assemblies on both downflow and horizontal
units. TCO2 is located on the IDM partition panel; below
and to the right of the blower housing on downflow units.
On horizontal units, TCO2 is located on the IDM partition
panel above the blower housing.
Electric Heat Sequence Of
Operation
Constant Volume (CV)
When heat is required and the Fan selection switch is in the
“AUTO” position for constant volume applications, the
RTRM energizes the Supply Fan approximately one
second before energizing the first stage electric heat
contactor (AH). A 10 seconds minimum “off” time delay
must elapse before the first stage heater is activated.
When the heating cycle is completed, the RTRM deenergizes the Fan and the heater contactor (AH) at the
same time.
The RTRM cycles the first stage of heat as required to
maintain zone temperature. If the first stage cannot satisfy
the heating requirement, the RTRM energizes the second
stage electric heat contactors (BH) and (CH) providing first
stage has been on for at least 10 seconds or the second
stage has been off for at least 10 seconds. (CH contactor is
used on 54KW and larger heaters.)
The RTRM cycles the second stage electric heat as
required to maintain the zone temperature.
Variable Air Volume (VAV)
During Unoccupied heating, Morning Warm up, or
Daytime Warm up, the VHR relay will be energized for at
least 6 minutes and the VFD output will go to 100%. The
heaters will stage on and off to satisfy the zone
temperature setpoint.
Variable Air Volume Applications
(Single Zone VAV) Sequence of
Operation
Occupied Cooling Operation
For normal Cooling operation, available Cooling capacity
will be staged or modulated in order to meet the calculated
discharge air setpoint between the user selected upper
and lower limits. 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 control will request additional capacity as required
(additional compressor operation or economizer). As the
Discharge Air Temperature falls below the deadband the
algorithm will request a reduction in active capacity.
Economizer Cooling
During normal Economizer Cooling, the fan speed will
operate at its minimum. However, 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. Note that Economizer Enable/Disable decisions
92 RT-SVX34F-EN
Page 93
Sequence of Operation
will be made based on the previous sections, however, the
economizer control point will now be variable based on
the zone cooling demand.
Economizer Enabled at Cooling Start. Once the unit
has a request for economizer cooling and the unit has met
all Cool mode transition requirements, the Economizer
will open beyond minimum position in order to meet the
calculated discharge air setpoint value. If the economizer
at 100% alone cannot meet the active discharge air
setpoint, the Supply Fan Speed will remain at 58% for 3
minutes. Once the 3 minute compressor inhibit delay has
expired, compressors will be allowed to energize to meet
the space demand. The supply fan speed output will
continue to modulate in order to meet the zone cooling
requirements.
Once compressors are being utilized for additional cooling
capacity, the economizer will be forced to 100% if enabled.
As the cooling capacity begins to stage back (less cooling
load) the economizer will remain at 100%, if enabled, until
all compressors have de-energized.
Economizer Enabled to Disabled. If the economizer is
enabled and the unit is actively cooling with the
economizer, if the economizer becomes disabled the
economizer will be closed to the active minimum position
and compressors will be allowed to stage without delay if
the minimum off timers have expired and there is a
Cooling demand requesting compressor operation.
During this transition, the fan will continue to modulate in
order to meet the space demand.
Economizer Disabled to Enabled. If compressors are
energized for Cooling and the economizer was disabled,
but becomes enabled due to desirable ambient
conditions, the economizer will be forced to 100% as on
traditional VAV units.
Compressor Cooling
Compressor output control and protection schemes will
function much like on non-SZ VAV units. Normal
compressor HPC and LPC control will remain in effect as
well as normal 3-minute minimum on, off, and inter-stage
timers. Also, the condenser fans will be controlled as on
non-SZ VAV units and compressor staging sequences will
be as described in Table 21 above based on unit tonnage
configuration and lead/lag status.
Cooling Sequence. If the control determines that there
is a need for compressor stages in order to meet the
discharge air requirements, once supply fan proving has
been made, the unit will begin to stage compressors
accordingly. Note that a 5 second delay will be enforced
between the command for supply fan output operation
and the command for compressor output operation. This
delay is enforced to ensure that the supply fan is energized
and ramping up to operating speed prior to energizing
compressors.
As the zone cooling demand continues to increase, if
additional capacity is required, the supply fan output will
be modulated above minimum speed in order to meet the
zone requirements. Note that the supply fan speed will
remain at the compressor stage's associated minimum
value until the control requires additional capacity to meet
the zone demand.
As the cooling load in the zone decreases the control will
reduce the speed of the fan down to minimum per
compressor stage and control the compressor outputs
accordingly. As the compressors begin to de-energize, the
Supply Fan speed will fall back to the Cooling Stage's
associated minimum fan speed but not below. As the load
in the zone continues to drop, cooling capacity will be
reduced in order to maintain the calculated discharge air
setpoint.
Cooling Stages Minimum Fan Speed. As the unit
begins to stage compressors to meet the cooling demand,
the following minimum Supply Fan Speeds will be utilized
for each corresponding Cooling Stage. Note that the
Supply Fan Speed will be allowed to ramp up beyond the
minimum speed in order to meet the zone cooling
demand.
2-Stage Cooling Units (27.5-35T Units)
The minimum fan speed for units with 2 stages of DX
Cooling will be 58% of the unit's full airflow capacity. At
Stage 1 of DX Cooling the Fan Speed will be at a minimum
of 58% and at Stage 2 of DX Cooling the Fan Speed will be
at a minimum of 67%.
3-Stage Cooling Units (40-50T Units)
The minimum fan speed for units with 3 stages of DX
Cooling will be 58% of the unit's full airflow capacity. At
Stage 1 of DX Cooling the Fan Speed will be at a minimum
of 58% and at Stages 2 and 3 of DX Cooling the Fan Speed
will be at a minimum of 67%.
Occupied Heating Operation
Occupied Heating operation on units configured with
Single Zone VAV control will utilize two separate control
methodologies based on heating configurations. For all
“Staged” Heating types (Electric and Gas), the unit will
utilize 100% full airflow during all active heating periods
like traditional Constant Volume units. For Modulating Gas
heat units, the unit will have the ability to control the
discharge air temperature to the calculated discharge air
heating setpoint in order to maintain the Zone
Temperature to the Zone Heating setpoint.
Staged Heating Operation
For units configured with Staged Heat once the control
determines that there is an active heating capacity
request, the unit will energize the Supply Fan and ramp up
to full speed. The control methodology during Active
Heating on units configured with Staged Heat types will be
identical to traditional Constant Volume units; heating
RT-SVX34F-EN93
Page 94
Sequence of Operation
stages will be energized/de-energized to meet the Zone
Heating demand. Note that all Electric and Gas Heat
staging sequences will be identical to as on Constant
Volume units.
Modulating Heat Operation with SZVAV
Heating
Units configured with Modulating Gas Heat will utilize true
Single Zone VAV control in the same manner as during
Active Cooling.
Heating Sequence. Once the unit has met all Auto-
Changeover requirements and the control determines that
there is a space heating demand, the unit will transition
into zone heating. Once the Discharge Air Temperature
falls below the calculated discharge air temperature
setpoint, the unit will initiate the Modulating Heat output
request and control the supply fan at minimum speed. At
this point, the Modulating Heat output will be controlled to
maintain the discharge air temperature requirements and
the supply fan speed will be controlled between 58%-10 0%
to meet the zone heating requirements.
As the heating load in the zone decreases the fan speed
will decrease down to minimum (58%) and control the
modulating heat output as necessary to meet the
discharge air heating requirements. As the load in the zone
continues to drop the fan speed will be maintained at this
minimum airflow and the modulating heat output will be
controlled accordingly.
Note: The gas heat staging sequences will be the same on
SZ VAV units as on traditional CV units.
Unoccupied Cooling and
Heating Operation
For SZ VAV units, the unit will control Heating, Cool, and
Dehumidification as during Occupied periods using the
normal heating and cooling Single Zone VAV algorithms.
In Unoccupied periods the unit will utilize setback
setpoints, a 0% Minimum OA Damper position, and Auto
fan mode operation as on normal Constant Volume units.
Dehumidification Operation
Singe Zone VAV units support modulating
dehumidification operation. Most functions will be
identical to dehumidification control on CV and Traditional
VAV units.
Modulating Dehumidification
Entering Dehumidification. At startup a zone heating
or cooling demand will prevent dehumidification
operation as on a non-Single Zone VAV unit. At this point
the unit will perform normal sensible cooling or heating
control until the respective setpoint is satisfied.
After startup, the unit will monitor the unit conditions to
determine when to enter and leave dehumidification
mode. As long as the unit is not actively heating or actively
cooling with more than half the unit design mechanical
cooling capacity and it has not been disabled due to the
Override limits described below, dehumidification mode
will be allowed.
When dehumidification mode is entered the unit will:
1. Energize the Supply Fan, if not already ON, and ramp
the Fan Speed output up to 80% airflow.
2. Stage up all compressors with ~2 seconds between
stages.
3. Command the OA damper to minimum position.
4. The Supply Air Reheat setpoint (R130 located on the
RTOM) will become the maximum discharge air
control setpoint.
5. The reheat and cooling valves will be modulated to
meet the calculated discharge air setpoint.
Leaving Dehumidification. On a call to leave
dehumidification mode the unit will perform the
following:
1. Mechanical cooling will stage back to 50% (Cool 1) of
the available capacity then will be released to normal
Single Zone VAV control to meet the space demand.
2. The economizer will be released to normal control.
3. The Supply Fan output will be released to meet the
space load.
4. The cooling valve will be driven to 100% and the reheat
valve will be driven to 0%.
5. The Reheat Pumpout relay will be energized if the
reheat circuit is requested or de-energized if the reheat
circuit de-energizes.
Typical causes to leave dehumidification are:
1. Space humidity levels have fallen below the Active

Sequence of Operation
Purge Mode (Comfort and Dehumidification).
Purge cycle operation will operate identically to Purge on
non-Single Zone VAV Dehumidification units; if the Reheat
Circuit operates in one mode (dehumidification or cooling)
for a cumulative 60 minutes the unit will initiate a 3-minute
Purge cycle with all compressors energized, the Cooling
and Reheat Valves at 50%, and the Reheat Pumpout relay
de-energized.
During an active Purge Cycle the Supply Fan Speed will
operate at the appropriate speed based on the active
compressor step. If a dehumidification purge is initiated,
the unit will run at 80%, if performing a cooling purge the
supply fan will track based on the appropriate minimum
speed for the associated number of compressors
energized. After the Purge Cycle is complete, the Supply
Fan will be released to normal control based on the
Cooling/Dehumidification demand.
Dehumidification - Humidistat Operation. A
humidistat input located on the Options module will be
supported as on non-SZ VAV.
Other Dehumidification Related Topics. The
following aspects of Single Zone VAV units configured
with Modulating dehumidification will operate identically
to non-Single Zone VAV units:
1. Outdoor Fan Control.
2. Low Pressure/High Pressure Cutout input handling.
3. Function Enable/Disable Details.
Failure and Overriding Conditions
Certain failure and overriding conditions require special
handling of the Supply Fan Speed on units configured with
Single Zone VAV. See below for a list of these conditions:
1. Supply Fan Proving Failure - If a Supply Fan Proving
failure is detected the Supply Fan will be de-energized
after 40s of run time and the Fan Speed output will go
to 0 Vdc (0%).
2. Ventilation Override Mode - If a VOM goes active in
which the Supply Fan is commanded ON (Purge,
Pressurize, etc.) the Supply Fan will be energized and
the Fan Speed output will ramp to 100%.
3. Zone Temperature Sensor Failure - If the Active Zone
Temperature input goes out of range, the unit will
discontinue all Heating, Cooling, and Dehumidification
operation.
4. Supply Air Temperature Sensor Failure - If the Supply
Air Temperature input goes out of range, the unit will
revert back to Full Airflow, Traditional CV control. The
unit will call out a Supply Air Temperature Sensor
Failure Alarm, the RTRM System LED will flash the 2blink error code, and the Zone Sensor Heat
(Modulating Heat Only) and Cool LEDs will flash.
5. Frostat Failure - If the unit has a Froststat Failure occur,
all active Heating, Cooling, and Dehumidification will
be de-energized immediately and the Supply Fan will
ramp up to 100%.
6. Heat Failure (High Temp. Limit Trip) - If a unit
configured with Gas Heat has a High Temp. Limit trip
the Supply Fan will be requested to remain ON and the
Fan Speed output will ramp to full speed.
Low Pressure Control (LPC)
Sequence of Operation (ReliaTel
Control)
When the LPC is opened for one (1) continuous second, the
compressor for that circuit is turned off immediately. The
compressor will not be allowed to restart for a minimum
of three (3) minutes.
If four consecutive open conditions occur during the first
three minutes of operation, the compressor will be locked
out, a diagnostic communicated to ICSTM if applicable,
and a manual reset will be required to restart the
compressor.
High Pressure Control and
Temperature Discharge Limit
(ReliaTel Control)
The Temperature Discharge Limit (TDL) is located in the
Compressor Output circuit and is connected in series with
the High Pressure Control (HPC). The RTRM will register an
auto reset lockout if either the high pressure control switch
or the temperature discharge limit opens during
compressor operation. If the compressor output circuit is
opened four consecutive times during compressor
operation, the RTRM will generate a manual reset lockout.

Maintenance
Fan Belt Adjustment
The Supply Fan belts must be inspected periodically to
assure proper unit operation.
Replacement is necessary if the belts appear frayed or
worn. Units with dual belts require a matched set of belts
to ensure equal belt length. When installing new belts, do
not stretch them over the sheaves; instead, loosen the
adjustable motor-mounting base.
Once the new belts are installed, adjust the belt tension
using a Browning or Gates tension gauge (or equivalent)
illustrated in Figure 60.
Figure 60. Typical belt tension gauge
Note: The actual belt deflection force must not exceed the
maximum value shown in Figure 61, p. 96.
7. Recheck the new belt's tension at least twice during the
first 2 to 3 days of operation. Readjust the belt tension
as necessary to correct for any stretching that may
have occurred. Until the new belts are “run in”, the belt
tension will decrease rapidly as they stretch.
Figure 61. Belt deflection
1. To determine the appropriate belt deflection:
a. Measure the center-to-center distance, in inches,
between the fan sheave and the motor sheave.
b. Divide the distance measured in Step 1a by 64; the
resulting value represents the amount of belt
deflection for the proper belt tension.
2. Set the large O-ring on the belt tension gauge at the
deflection value determined in Step 1b.
3. Set the small O-ring at zero on the force scale of the
gauge.
4. Place the large end of the gauge on the belt at the
center of the belt span. Depress the gauge plunger until
the large O-ring is even with the of the second belt or
even with a straightedge placed across the sheaves.
5. Remove the tension gauge from the belt. Notice that
the small O-ring now indicates a value other than zero
on the force scale. This value represents the force (in
pounds) required to deflect the belt(s) the proper
distance when properly adjusted.
6. Compare the force scale reading in step 5 with the
appropriate “force” value in
force reading is outside of the listed range for the type
of belts used, either readjust the belt tension or contact
a qualified service representative.

Cooling Season
•Check the unit’s drain pans and condensate piping to
ensure that there are no blockages.
•Inspect the evaporator and condenser coils for dirt,
bent fins, etc. If the coils appear dirty, clean them
according to the instructions described in “Coil
Cleaning” later in this section.
•Inspect the F/A-R/A damper hinges and pins to ensure
that all moving parts are securely mounted. Keep the
blades clean as necessary.

•Manually rotate the condenser fans to ensure free
movement and check motor bearings for wear. Verify
that all of the fan mounting hardware is tight.
•Verify that all damper linkages move freely; lubricate
with white grease, if necessary.
•Check supply fan motor bearings; repair or replace the
motor as necessary.
•Check the fan shaft bearings for wear. Replace the
bearings as necessary. These bearing are considered
permanently lubricated for normal operation. For
severe dirty applications, if relubrication becomes
necessary, use a lithium based grease. See
Ta bl e 75,
p. 99 for recommended greases.
Important: The bearings are manufactured using a
special synthetic lithium based grease
designed for long life and minimum relube
intervals. Over lubrication can be just as
harmful as not enough.
Use a hand grease gun to lubricate these bearings; add
grease until a light bead appears all around the seal. Do
not over lubricate!
After greasing the bearings, check the setscrews to ensure
that the shaft is held securely. Make sure that all bearing
braces are tight.
•Check the supply fan belt(s). If the belts are frayed or
worn, replace them.
•Check the condition of the gasket around the control
panel doors. These gaskets must fit correctly and be in
good condition to prevent water leakage.
•Verify that all terminal connections are tight.
•Remove any corrosion present on the exterior surfaces
of the unit and repaint these areas.
•Generally inspect the unit for unusual conditions (e.g.,
loose access panels, leaking piping connections, etc.)

Maintenance
Make sure that all retaining screws are reinstalled in the
unit access panels once these checks are complete.
With the unit running, check and record the:
• ambient temperature;
• compressor oil level (each circuit);
• compressor suction and discharge pressures (each
circuit);
• superheat and subcooling (each circuit);
Record this data on an “operator’s maintenance log” like
the one shown in Table 77, p. 103. If operating pressures
indicate a refrigerant shortage, measure the system
superheat and system subcooling. For guidelines, refer to
“Charging by Subcooling”.
Note: Do not release refrigerant to the atmosphere! If
adding or removing refrigerant is required, the
service technician must comply with all federal,
state and local laws. Refer to general service
bulletin MSCU-SB-1 (latest edition).

Maintenance
Coil Cleaning
Regular coil maintenance, including annual cleaning
enhances the unit’s operating efficiency by minimizing:
•Compressor head pressure and amperage draw;
•Water carryover;
•Fan brake horsepower; and,
•Static pressure losses.
At least once each year—or more often if the unit is located
in a “dirty” environment—clean the evaporator,
microchannel condenser, and reheat coils using the
instructions outlined below. Be sure to follow these
instructions as closely as possible to avoid damaging the
coils.
To clean refrigerant coils, use a soft brush and a sprayer.
Important: DO NOT use any detergents with
microchannel condenser coils. Pressurized
water or air ONLY.
For evaporator and reheat coil cleaners, contact the local
Trane Parts Center for appropriate detergents.
1. Remove enough panels from the unit to gain safe
access to coils.
a. For the 50 ton unit with the 3rd coil closest to the
bulk-head, safe access can be gained by removal of
the unit side panels.
b. For the 40 ton and 50 ton units, access to the 2-row
microchannel condenser coils removal of the
corner posts will be necessary.
WARN ING
No Step Surface!
Do not walk on the sheet metal drain pan. Walking on
the drain pan could cause the supporting metal to
collapse, resulting in the operator/technician to fall.
Failure to follow this recommendation could result in
death or serious injury.
Note: Bridging between the main supports required
before attempting to enter into the unit. Bridging
may consist of multiple 2 by 12 boards or sheet
metal grating.
2. Straighten any bent coil fins with a fin comb.
3. For accessible areas, remove loose dirt and debris
from both sides of the coil. For dual row microchannel
condenser coil applications, seek pressure coil wand
extension through the local Trane Parts Center.
4. When cleaning evaporator and reheat coils, mix the
detergent with water according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. If desired, heat the solution to 150° F
maximum to improve its cleansing capability.
Important: DO NOT use any detergents with
microchannel coils. Pressurized water or air
ONLY.
5. Pour the cleaning solution into the sprayer. If a highpressure sprayer is used:
a. The minimum nozzle spray angle is 15 degrees.
b. Do not allow sprayer pressure to exceed 600 psi.
c. Spray the solution perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to
the coil face.
d. For evaporator and reheat coils, maintain a
minimum clearance of 6" between the sprayer
nozzle and the coil. For microchannel condenser
coils, optimum clearance between the sprayer
nozzle and the microchannel coil is 1"-3”.
6. Spray the leaving-airflow side of the coil first; then
spray the opposite side of the coil. For evaporator and
reheat coils, allow the cleaning solution to stand on the
coil for five minutes.
7. Rinse both sides of the coil with cool, clean water.
8. Inspect both sides of the coil; if it still appears to be
dirty, repeat Steps 6 and 7.
9. Reinstall all of the components and panels removed in
Step 1; then restore power to the unit.
10. For evaporator and reheat coils, use a fin comb to
straighten any coil fins which were inadvertently bent
during the cleaning process.
Microchannel Condenser Coil Repair and
Replacement
If microchannel condenser coil repair or replacement is
required, seek HVAC Knowledge Center information or
General Service Bulletin RT-SVB83*-EN for further details.
