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 af fect 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. T rane advocates the responsible handling of
all refrigerants-including industry replacements for CFCs
such as HCFCs and HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices!
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are
important to the environment, our customers, and the air
conditioning industry. All technicians who handle
refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act
(Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling,
reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain
refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these
service procedures. In addition, some states or
municipalities may have additional requirements that
must also be adhered to for responsible management of
refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified
personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field
wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To
avoid these hazards, y ou MUST f ollow r equir ements 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.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Required!
Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to
electrical, mechanical and chemical hazards.
•Before installing/servi cin g th is un it, technicians

The ReliaT el™ Control Modu le is a microelectronic control
system that is referred to as “Refrigeration Module”
(RTRM). The acronym RTRM is used extensively
throughout this document when referring to the control
system network.
These modules through Proportional/Integral control
algorithms perform specific unit functions that governs
unit operation in response to; zone temperature, supp ly air
temperature, and/or humidity conditions depending on
the application. The stages of capacity control for these
units are achieved by starting and stopping the
compressors.
The RTRM is mounted in the control panel and is factory
wired to the respective internal components. The RTRM
receives and interprets information from other unit

(Optional)
The RTOM monitors the supply fan proving, clogged filter,
supply air temperature, exhaust fan setpoint, supply air
tempering, Frostat™ and smoke detector. R efer to system
input devices and functions for operation.
System Input Devices & Functions
The RTRM must have a zone sensor or thermostat input in
order to operate the unit. The flexibility of having several
mode capabilities depends upon the type of zone sensor or
thermostat selected to interface with the RTRM.
The descriptions of the following basic input devices used
within the RTRM network are to acquaint the operator with
their function as they interface with the various modules.
Refer to the unit’s electrical schematic for the specific
module connections.
The following controls are available from the factory for
field installation.
Supply Fan Failure Input (Optional)
The Fan Failure Switch can be connected to sense indoor
fan operation:
FFS (Fan Failure Switch) If air flow through the unit is not
proven by the differential pressure switc h connected to the
RTOM (factory set point 0.07 “w.c.) within 40 seconds
nominally, the RTRM will shut off all mechanical
operations, lock the system out, send a diagnostic to ICS,
and the SERVICE output wi ll flash. The system will remain
locked out until a reset is initiated either manually or
through ICS.
Clogged Filter Switch (Optional)
The unit mounted clogged filter switch monitors the
pressure differential across the return air filters. It is
mounted in the filter section and is connected to the
RTOM. A diagnostic SERVICE signal is sent to the remote
panel if the pressure differential across the filters is at least
0.5" w.c. The contacts will automatically open when the
pressure differential across the filters decreases to
approximately 0.4" w.c. The clogged filter output is
energized when the supply fan is operating and the
clogged filter switch has been closed for at least 2 minutes.
The system will continue to operate regardless of the
status of the filter switch.
Note: On units equipped with factory installed MERV 13
filters, a clogged filter switch with different
pressure settings will be installed. This switc h will
close when the differential pressure is
approximately 0.8' w.c. and open when the
differential falls to 0.7" w.c.
Condensate Drain Pan Overflow Switch
(Optional)
This input incorporates the Condensate Overflow Switch
(COF) mounted on the drain pan and the ReliaTel Options
Module (RTOM). When the condensate level reaches the
trip point for 6 continuous seconds, the RTOM will shut
down all unit functions until the overflow condition has
cleared.The unit will return to normal operation after 6
continuous seconds with the COF in a non-tripped
condition. If the condensate level causes unit shutdown
more than 2 times in a 3 days period, the unit will be
locked-out of operation requiring manual reset of
diagnostic system through Zone Sensor or Building
Automation System (BAS). Cycling unit power will also
clear the fault.
Compressor Disable (CPR1/2)
This input incorporates the low pressure control (LPC) of
each refrig eration circuit and can be activated by opening
a field supplied contact installed on the LTB.
If this circuit is open before the compressor is started, the
compressor will not be allowed to operate. Anytime this
circuit is opened for 1 continuous second during
compressor operation, the compressor for that circuit is
RT-SVX37B-EN7
Page 8
General Information
immediately turned “Off”. The compressor will not be
allowed to restart for a minimum of 3 minutes should the
contacts close.
If four consecutive open conditions occur during the first
three minutes of operation, the compressor for that circuit
will be locked out, a diagnostic communicated to the
remote panel (if installed), and a manual reset will be
required to restart the compressor.
Low Pressure Control
ReliaTel Control
When the LPC is opened for 1 continuous second, the
compressor for that circuit is turned off immediately . The
compressor will not be allowed to restart for a minimum
of 3 minutes.
If four consecutive open conditions occur during an active
call for cooling, the compressor will be locked out, a
diagnostic communicated to ICS™, if applicable, and a
manual reset required to restart the compressor. On dual
compressor units only the affected compressor circuit is
locked out.
High Pressure Control
ReliaTel Control
The high pressure controls are wired in series between the
compressor outputs on the RTRM and the compress or
contactor coils. If the high pressure control switc h opens,
the RTRM senses a lack of current while calling for cooling
and locks the compressor out.
If four consecutive open conditions occur during an active
call for cooling, the compressor will be locked out, a
diagnostic communicated to ICS™, if applicable, and a
manual reset required to restart the compressor. On dual
compressor units only the affected compressor circuit is
locked out.
Lead/Lag Control (Dual Circuit Only)
ReliaTel Control Only
Lead/Lag is a selectable input located on the RTRM. The
RTRM is configured from the factory with the Lead/Lag
control disabled. T o activate the Lead/Lag function, s imply
cut the wire connected to J3-8 at the RTRM. When it is
activated, each time the designated lead compressor is
shut off due to the load being satisfied, the lead
compressor or refrigeration circuit switches. When the
RTRM is powered up, i.e. af ter a power failure, the control
will default to the number one circuit compressor.

Pre-Start
Use the checklist provided below in conjunction with the
“General Unit Requirements” checklist to ensure that the
unit is properly installed and ready for operation.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects and discharge all motor start/run
capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be
inadvertently energized. Verify with an appropriate
voltmeter that all capacitors have disc har g ed. Failure to
disconnect power and discharge capacitors before
servicing could result in death or serious injury.
•Check all electrical connections for tightness and
“point of termination” accuracy.
•V erify that the condenser airflow will be unobstructed.
•Verify that the condenser fan and indoor blower turn
freely without rubbing and are properly tightened on
the shafts.
•Check the supply fan belts for proper tension and the
fan bearings for sufficient lubrication. If the belts
require adjustment, or if the bearings need lubricati ng,
refer to the maintenance section of this manual for
instructions.
•V erify that a condensate trap is installed and the piping
is properly sized and pitched.
•V erify that the correct size and number of filters are in
place.
•Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris and
install all panels in preparation for starting the unit.
Voltage Imbalance
Three phase electrical power to the unit must meet
stringent requirements for the unit to operate properly.
Measure each leg (phase-to-phase) of the power supply.
Each reading must fall within the utilization range stamped
on the unit nameplate. If any of the readings do not fall
within the proper tolerances, notify the power company to
correct this situation before operating the unit.
Excessive three phase voltage imbalance between phases
will cause motors to overheat and eventually fail. The
maximum allowable voltage imbalance is 2%. Measure
and record the voltage between phases 1, 2, and 3 and
calculate the amount of imbalance as follows:
% Voltage Imbalance =
100 X AV - VD
where;
AV
AV (Average Voltage) =
Volt 1 + Volt 2 + Volt 3
3
V1, V2, V3 = Line Voltage Readings
VD = Line Voltage reading that deviates the far thest from
the average voltage.
•Example: If the voltage readings of the supply power
measured 221, 230, and 227, the average volts would
be:
221 + 230 + 227 = 226 Avg.
3
VD (reading farthest from average) = 221
The percentage of Imbalance equals:
100 X 226 - 221 =
226
The 2.2% imbalance in this example exceeds the
maximum allowable imbalance of 2.0%. This much
imbalance between phases can equal as much as a 20%
current imbalance with a resulting increase in motor
winding temperatures that will decrease motor life. If the
voltage imbalance is over 2%, notify the proper agencies
to correct the voltage problem before operating this
equipment.
2.2%
Electrical Phasing (Three Phase
Motors)
The compressor motor(s) and the supply fan motor are
internally connected for the proper rotation when the
incoming power supply is phased as A, B, C.
Proper electrical supply phasing can be quickly
determined and corrected before star ting the unit by using
an instrument such as an Associated Research Model 45
Phase Sequence Indicator and following the steps below:
•T urn the field supplied disconnect switch that provides
power to the main power terminal block or to the
“Line” side of the optional factory mounted disconnect
switch to the “Off” position.
•Connect the phase sequence indicator leads to the
terminal block or to the “Line” side of the optional
factory mounted disconnect switch as follows;
Black (phase A) to L1
Red (phase B) to L2
Yellow (phase C) to L3
•Close the field supplied main power disconnect switch
or circuit protector switch that provides the supply
power to the unit

WARNING
Live Electrical Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and
troubleshooting of this pr odu ct, it may be necessary to
work with live electrical components. Have a qualified
licensed electrician or other individual who has been
properly trained in handling live electrical components
perform these tasks. Failure to follow all electrical
safety precautions when exposed to live electrical
components could result in death or serious injury.
To prevent injury or death from electrocution, it is the
responsibility of the technician to recogniz e this hazard
and use extreme care when performing service
procedures with the electrical power energized.
•Observe the ABC and CBA phase indicator lights on the
face of the sequencer. The ABC indicator light will glow
if the phase is ABC. If the CBA indicator light glows,
open the disconnect switc h or circuit protection switc h
and reverse any two power wires.
•Restore the main electrical power and recheck the
phasing. If the phasing is cor rect, open the disconnect
switch or circuit protection switch and remove the
phase sequence indicator.
Compressor Crankcase Heaters (Standard
with all units)
Each compressor is equipped with a crankcase heater . The
proper operation of the crankcase heater is important to
maintain an elevated compressor oil temperature during
the “Off” cycle to reduce oil foaming during compressor
starts.
Oil foaming occurs when refrigerant condenses in the
compressor and mixes with the oil. In lower ambient
conditions, refrigerant migration to the compressor could
increase.
When the compressor starts, the sudden reduction in
crankcase pressure causes the liquid refrigerant to boil
rapidly causing the oil to foam. This condition could
damage compressor bearings due to reduced lubrication
and could cause compressor mechanical failures.
Before starting the unit in the “Cooling” mode, set the
system switch to the “Off” position and turn the main
power disconnect to the “On” position and allow the
crankcase heater to operate a minimum of 8 hours.
Before closing the main power disconnect switch, insure
that the “System” selection switch is in the “Off” position
and the “Fan” selection switch is in the “Auto” position.
Close the main power disconnect switch and the unit
mounted disconnect switch, if applicable.
WARNING
Live Electrical Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and
troubleshooting of this p roduct, it may be necessary to
work with live electrical components. Have a qualified
licensed electrician or other individual who has been
properly trained in handling live electrical components
perform these tasks. Failure to follow all electrical
safety precautions when exposed to live electrical
components could result in death or serious injury.
To prevent injury or death from electrocution, it is the
responsibility of the technician to recognize this hazard
and use extreme care when performing service
procedures with the electrical power energized.
ReliaTel™ Controls
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
Liteport LED located on the RTRM module is turned “On”
within one second of power-up if internal operation is
okay.
Use one of the following “T est” 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 “T est” terminals for two to
three seconds. The Liteport LED located on the RTRM
module will blink when the test mode has been initiated.
The unit can be left in any “Test” step for up to one hour
before it will automatically terminate, or it can be
terminated by opening the main power disconnect switch.
Once the test mode has been termin ated, the Liteport LED
will glow continuously and the unit will revert to the
“System” control.

Notes:
1. The condenser fans will operate any time a compressor is On,
providing the outdoor air temperatures are within the operating
values.
2. The exhaust fan will turn on anytime the economizer damper position
is equal to or greater than the exhaust fan setpoint.
3. Steps for optional accessories and non- applicable modes in unit will be
skipped.
Test Modes
There are three methods in which the “T est” mode can be
cycled at LTB-Test 1 and LTB-Test 2.
1. Step Test Mode - This method initiates the different
components of the unit, one at a time, by temporarily
shorting across the two test terminals for two to three
seconds.
For the initial start-up of the unit, this method allows
the technician to cycle a component “ On” and have up
to one hour to complete the chec k.
2. Resistance Test Mode - This method can be used for
start-up providing a decade box for variable resistance
outputs is available. This method initiates the different
components of the unit, one at a time, when a specific
resistance value is placed across the two test
terminals. The unit will remain in the specific test mode
for approximately one hour even though the
resistance is left on the test terminals.
3. Auto T est Mode - This method is not recommended for
start-up due to the short timing between individual
component steps. This method initiates the different
components of the unit, one at a time, when a jumper
is installed across the test terminals. The unit will start
the first test step and change to the next step every 30
seconds.
At the end of the test mode, control of the unit will
automatically revert to the applied “System” control
method.
For unit test steps, test modes, and step resistance values
to cycle the various components, refer to Table 6.
Upon power initialization, the Gas Ignition Module (IGN)
performs self-diagnostic checks to insure that all internal
controls are functional. It also checks the configuration
parameters against the components connected to the
system. The System LED located on the IGN module is
turned “On” within one second of power-up if internal
operation is okay.

Much of the systems performance and reliability is closely
associated with, and dependent upon having the proper
airflow supplied both to the space that is being
conditioned and across the evaporator coil.
The indoor fan speed is c hanged by opening or closing the
adjustable motor sheave.
Before starting the SERVICE TEST, set the minimum
position setpoint for the economizer to 0 percent using the
setpoint potentiometer located on the Economizer Control

With the fan operating properly, determine the total
system airflow (CFM) by:
1. Measuring the actual RPM,
2. Measure the amperage at the supply fan contactor and
compare it with the full load amp (FLA) rating stamped
on the motor nameplate.
a. Calculate the theoretical BHP using (Actual Motor
Amps/ Motor Nameplate Amps) X Motor HP.
b. Using the fan performance tables in the unit Service
Facts, plot the actual RPM (step 1) and the BHP (step
2a) to obtain the operating CFM.
3. If the required CFM is too low, (external static pressure
is high causing motor HP output to be below table

measure the speed of rotating components. Have a
qualified or licensed service individual who has been
properly trained in handling exposed rotating
components, perform these tasks. Failure t o follow all
safety precautions when exposed t o rotating
components could result in death or serious injury.
The fan belts must be inspected periodically to assur e
proper unit operation.
Replacement is necessary if the belts appear frayed or
worn. Units with dual belts require a matc hed set of belts
to ensure equal belt length.
When removing or installing the new belts, do no t stretc h
them over the sheaves. Loosen the belts using the belt
tension adjustment bolts on the motor mounting base.
Once the new belts are installed, using a Browning or
Gates tension gauge (or equivalent) illustrated in
Figure 30; adjust the belt tension as follows;
1. To determine the appropriate belt deflection;
a. Measure the center-to-center shaft distance (in
inches) between the fan and motor sheaves.
b. Divide the distance measured in Step a by 64; the
resulting value represents the amount of belt
deflection that corresponds to the proper belt
tension.
2. Set the large O-ring on the belt tension gauge at the
deflection value determined in
3. Set the small O-ring at zero on the force scale of the
gauge plunger.
4. Place the large end of the gauge at the center of the belt
span; then depress the gauge plunger until the large Oring is even with the top of the next belt or even with
a straightedge placed across the fan and motor
sheaves. Refer to
5. Remove the belt tension g auge. The small O-ring now
indicates a number other than zero on the plunger’s
force scale. This number represents the force (in
pounds) required to give the needed deflection.
6. Compare the “force” scale reading (Step 5) with the
appropriate “force” value listed in Table 7. If the
“force” reading is outside the range, readjust the belt
tension.
Note: Actual belt deflection “force” must not exceed the
maximum “force” value shown in Table 7.

Method 1
If the Zone Sensor Module (ZSM) is equipped with a
remote panel with LED status indication, you can check the
unit within the space. If the ZSM does not have LED’s, use
Method 2. BAYSENS110*, BAYSENS109*, BAYSENS1 19*,
BAYSENS023A all have the remote panel indication
feature. The LED descriptions are listed below.
LED 1 (System)
“On” during normal operation.
“Off” if a system failure occurs or the LED fails.
“Flashing” indicates test mode.
LED 2 (Heat)
“On” when the heat cycle is operating.
“Off” when the heat cycle terminates or the LED fails.
“Flashing” indicates a heating failure.
LED 3 (Cool)
“On” when the cooling cycle is operating.
“Off” when the cooling cycle terminates or the LED fails.
“Flashing” indicates a cooling failure.
LED 4 (Service)
“On” indicates a clogged filter.
“Off” during normal operation.
“Flashing” indicates an evaporator fan failure
Below is the complete listing of failure indication causes.
System failure
Check the voltage between terminals 6 and 9 on J6, it
should read approximately 32 VDC. If no voltage is
present, a system failure has occurred. Refer to Step 4 in
the previous section for the recommended
troubleshooting procedure.

To use LED’s for quick status information at the unit,
purchase a BAYSENS110* ZSM and connect wires with
alligator clamps to terminals 6 through 1 0. Connected each
respective terminal wire (6 through 10) from the Zone
Sensor to the unit J6 terminals 6 through 10.
Note: If the system is equipped with a programmable
zone sensor, (BAYSENS119*, or BAYSENS023A),
the LED indicators will not function while the
BAYSENS110* is connected.
Resetting Cooling and Ignition Lockouts
Cooling Failures and Heating Lockouts are reset in an
identical manner. Method 1 explains reset ting the system
from the space; Method 2 explains resetting the system at
the unit.
Note: Before resetting Cooling Failures and Ignition
Lockouts check the Failure Status Diagnostics by
the methods previously explained. Diagnostics will
be lost when the power to the unit is disconnected.
Method 1
To reset the system from the space, turn the “Mode”
selection switch at the zone sensor to the “Off” position.
After approximately 30 seconds, turn the “Mode”
selection switch to the desired mode, i.e. Heat, Cool or
Auto.
Method 2
To reset the system at the unit, cycle the unit power by
turning the disconnect switch “Off” and then “On”.
Lockouts can be cleared through the building
management system. Refer to t he b uil di ng m an age ment
system instructions for more information.
Zone Temperature Sensor (ZTS)
Service Indicator
The ZSM SERVICE LED is a generic indicator, that will
signal the closing of a Normally Open switch at an y time,
providing the Indoor Motor (IDM) is operating. This
indicator is usually used to indicate a clogged filter, or an
air side fan failure.
The RTRM will ignore the closing of this Normally Open
switch for 2 (±1) minutes. This helps prevent nuisance
SERVICE LED indications. The exception is the LED will
flash 40 seconds after the fan is turned “On” if the Fan
Proving Switch is not made.

Clogged Filter Switch
This LED will remain lit the entire time that the Normally
Open switch is closed. Th e LE D will be turned off
immediately after resetting the switch (to the Normally
Open position), or any time that the IDM is turned “Off”.
If the switch remains closed, and the IDM is turned “On”,
the SERVICE LED will be turned “ On” again after the 2 (±1)
minute ignore delay.
This LED being turned “On”, will have no other affect on
unit operation. It is an indicator only.
Fan Failure Switch
When the “Fan Failure” switch is wired to the RTOM, the
LED will remain flashing the entire time the fan proving
switch is clos ed, indicating a fan failure, and it will shut the
unit operations down.
Condensate Overflow Switch
When the “Condensate Overflow Switch” is closed, a
drain pan overflow condition is indicated and it will shut
unit operations down.
Zone Temperature Sensor (ZTS)
Test
Note: These procedures are not for programmable or
digital models and are conducted with the Zone
Sensor Module electrically removed from the
system.
Test 1 - Zone Temperature Thermistor
(ZTEMP)
This component is tested by measuring the resistance
between terminals 1 and 2 on the Zone Temperature
Sensor . Below are some typical indoor temperatures, and
corresponding resistive values.
Test 2 - Cooling Set Point (CSP) and
Heating Set Point (HSP)
The resistance of these potentiometers are measured
between the following ZSM terminals. Refer to the chart
above for approxim ate re sistanc es at the given setpoints.
Cool SP = Terminals 2 and 3
Range = 100 to 900 Ohms approximate
Heat SP = Terminals 2 and 5
Range = 100 to 900 Ohms approximate
Test 3 - System Mode and Fan Selection
The combined resistance of the Mode selection switch and
the Fan selection switch can be measured between
terminals 2 and 4 on the Zone Sensor. The possible switch
combinations are listed below with their corresponding
resistance values.
Test 4 - LED Indicator Test, (SYS ON, HEA T,
COOL & SERVICE)
Method 1
T esting the LED using a meter with diode test function. T est
both forward and reverse bias. Forward bias should
measure a voltage drop of 1.5 to 2.5 volts, depending on
your meter . Reverse bias will show an Over L oad, or open
circuit indication if LED is functional.
Method 2
Testing the LED with an analog Ohmmeter. Connect
Ohmmeter across LED in one direction, then reverse the
leads for the opposite direction. The LED should have at
least 100 times more resistance in reverse direction, as
compared with the forward direction. If high resistance in
both directions, LED is open. If low in both directions, LE D
is shorted.
Method 3
To test LED’ s with ZSM connected to unit, test v oltages at
LED terminals on ZSM. A measurement of 32 VDC, across
an unlit LED, means the LED has failed.
Programmable & Digital Zone Sensor Test
Testing serial communication voltage
1 . Verify 24 VAC is present between terminals J6-1 4 & J6-
11.
2. Disconnect wires from J6-11 and J6-12. Measure the
voltage between J6-11 and J6-12, should be about 32
VDC.
3. Reconnect wires to terminals J6-1 1 and J6-12. Measure
voltage again between J6-1 1 and J6-12, voltage should
flash high and low every 0.5 seconds. The v olt ag e on
the low end will measure about 19 VDC, while the
voltage on the high end will measure from
approximately 24 to 38 VDC.
4. Verify all modes of operation, by running the unit
through all of the steps in the “Test Modes” section
discussed in “Unit Start-Up”.

5. After verifying proper unit operation, exit the test
mode. Turn the fan on continuously at the ZSM, by
pressing the button with the fan symbol. If the fan
comes on and runs continuously, the ZSM is good. If
you are not able to turn the fan on, the ZSM is
defective.
If the RTCI loses input from the building manageme nt
system, the RTRM will control in the default mode after
approximately 15 minutes. If the RTRM loses the Heating
and Cooling setpoint input, the RTRM will control in the
default mode instantaneously. The temperature sensing
thermistor in the Zone Sensor Module is the only
component required for the “Default Mode” to operate.
Unit Operation without a Zone Sensor
This procedure is for temporary operation only. The
economizer and condenser fan cycling functions are
disabled.
1. Open and Lock the unit disconnect switch.
2. Remove the Outside Air Sensor (OAS) from the
condenser section of unit.
3. Use two (2) wire nuts, to individually cap the wires.
4. Locate the RTRM (J6). Connect two (2) wires to
terminals J6-1 and 2.
5. Connect the sensor (OAS) using two wire nuts to the
two (2) field supplied wires that were connected to
terminals 1 and 2 on J6.
