NOTICE
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or
servicing this unit.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as
required. Your personal safety and the proper
operation of this machine depend upon the strict
observance of these precautions.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury. It could also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
Indicates a situation that could result in
equipment or property-damage only
accidents.
Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made
chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring
stratospheric ozone layer when released to the
atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified
chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are
refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon
(CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine,
Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants
containing these compounds have the same potential
impact to the environment. Trane advocates the
responsible handling of all refrigerants-including
industry replacements for CFCs such as HCFCs and
HFCs.
Important Responsible Refrigerant
Practices
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are
important to the environment, our customers, and the
air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle
refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act
(Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling,
reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain
refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these
service procedures. In addition, some states or
municipalities may have additional requirements that
must also be adhered to for responsible management
of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow
them.
This document and the information in it are the
property of Trane and may not be used or reproduced
in whole or in part, without the written permission of
Trane. Trane reserves the right to revise this publication

Unit Description
These condensers come with single and dual
compressor options. Single compressor outdoor units
feature a single refrigeration circuitry, requiring only
one set of refrigerant lines. Dual compressor/dual
circuit models give true stand-by protection; if one
compressor fails, the second will automatically startup. Also, the first compressor can be serviced without
shutting down the unit since the refrigerant circuits are
independent. During light load conditions, only one
compressor will operate to save energy.

Pre-Installation
Unit Inspection
Inspect material carefully for any shipping damage. If
damaged, it must be reported to, and claims made
against the transportation company. Compare the
information that appears on the unit nameplate with
ordering and submittal data to ensure the proper unit
was shipped. Available power supply must be
compatible with electrical characteristics specified on
component nameplates. Replace damaged parts with
authorized parts only.
Inspection Checklist
To protect against loss due to damage incurred in
transit, complete the following checklist upon receipt of
the unit.
Inspect individual pieces of the shipment before
accepting the unit. Check for obvious damage to the
unit or packing material.
Inspect the unit for concealed damage before it is
stored and as soon as possible after delivery.
Concealed damage must be reported within 15
days. If concealed damage is discovered, stop
unpacking the shipment. Do not remove 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.
Notify the carrier’s terminal of damage immediately
by phone and by mail. Request an immediate joint
inspection of the damage by the carrier and the
consignee.
Notify the sales representative and arrange for
repair. Do not repair the unit until the damage is
inspected by the carrier’s representative.
Testing for Leaks
All units are shipped with a holding charge of nitrogen
in each circuit and should be leak tested before
installation.
1. Remove the access panel.
2. Locate the liquid line or suction line access valve for
each circuit.
3. Install gauges to determine if the circuits are still
pressurized. If not, the charge has escaped and
should be repaired as required to obtain a leak-free
circuit.
Before preparing the unit for lifting, estimate the
approximate center of gravity for lifting safety. Because
of placement of internal components, the unit weight
may be unevenly distributed. See ”Weights”, p. 14 for
approximate unit weights.
The crated unit can be moved using a forklift of suitable
capacity. For lifting the unit, attach lifting straps or
slings securely to the lifting holes at each corner (see
unit drawings in ”Weights”, p. 14). Use spreader bars to
protect the unit casing from damage. Test lift the unit to
determine proper balance and stability.
Clearances
Provide enough space around the unit to allow
unrestricted access to all service points. Refer to the
”Dimensional Data,” p. 10 for unit dimensions and
minimum required service and free air clearances.
Observe the following points to ensure proper unit
operation.
1. Do not install the unit under a low overhang.
Condenser discharge must not be restricted—refer
to notes in ”Dimensional Data drawings,” p. 10.
IImmppoorrttaanntt:: Do not obstruct condenser discharge
air. This can result in warm air
recirculation through the coil.
2. Do not locate the unit in a position where runoff
water can fall into the fan discharge openings.
3. Condenser intake air is supplied from three or four
sides of the unit. Adhere to the minimum required
clearances given in unit dimensional drawings (see
IImmppoorrttaanntt:: Refer to local building codes for proper
installation. All installation must comply
with local building codes.
Rooftop Mounting
If the unit will be roof mounted, determine for certain
that the structure is strong enough to support the unit
and any required accessories, see ”Weights”, p. 14. The
unit should be elevated on a level, field fabricated fourinch steel or wood 4" x 4" mounting frame. Complete
the frame and secure it into position before lifting the
unit to the roof. The mounting frame must support a
minimum of three of the unit’s four sides and should
span roof supports to distribute the load on the roof.
Figure 1. Roof mounted unit
Ground Level Mounting
For ground level installation, the unit base should be
adequately supported and hold the unit near level. The
installation must meet the guidelines set forth in local
codes. The support should extend two inches beyond
the unit base channels at all points. The unit and
support must be isolated from any adjacent structure to
prevent possible noise or vibration problems. Any
ground level location must comply with required
clearances given in the unit dimensional drawings (see
”Dimensional Data,” p. 10).
Snow Belt Recommendations
In regions where deep snow is encountered, raise the
unit a minimum distance of 8 to 12 inches above the
mounting surface. This will reduce the risk of snow
blocking the coil and improves runoff of water
produced during the defrost cycle. Avoid locating the
unit where snow tends to drift. Snow accumulations
must be removed from around the unit immediately to
prevent drastic efficiency reduction. A snow drift
barrier may be constructed around the unit to prevent
snow blockage. Clearance between the snow barrier
and the unit must comply with the clearances given in
Each TTA unit ships with a holding charge of dry
nitrogen. The nitrogen should be removed and the
entire system evacuated (at the proper time) to avoid
possible contamination.
1. Remove the compressor service access panel.
2. Locate the liquid and suction line service valves.
Check that the piping connection stubs on the
valves (Figure 10, p. 16) line up properly with the
holes in the unit cabinet.
Figure 10. Outdoor units - refrigerant piping (with dry
nitrogen)
5. Shut off nitrogen supply. Shut off the manifold
valve for the line that is connected to the suction
line service valve. Disconnect the line from the
gauge port on the valve.

Refrigerant Piping Procedures
(Indoor Unit)
Once liquid and suction lines are complete to the
refrigerant connections on the indoor unit, remove the
gauge port core(s) on the indoor unit connection stubs
to release the dry nitrogen charge.
2. Turn on nitrogen supply. Nitrogen enters through
the liquid line gauge port.
3. Braze the liquid line connections.
4. Open the gauge port on the suction line and then
braze the suction line to the connection stub.
Nitrogen will bleed out the open gauge port on the
suction line.
After the brazing operation of refrigerant lines to both
the outdoor and indoor unit is completed, the field
brazed connections must be checked for leaks.
Pressurize the system through the service valve with
dry nitrogen to 200 psi. Use soap bubbles or other leakchecking methods to ensure that all field joints are leak
free. If not, release pressure, repair and repeat leak test.
System Evacuation
1. After completion of leak check, evacuate the
system.
2. Attach appropriate hoses from manifold gauge to
gas and liquid line pressure taps.
NNoottee:: Unnecessary switching of hoses can be
avoided and complete evacuation of all lines
leading to sealed system can be
accomplished with manifold center hose and
connecting branch hose to a cylinder of R–22
and vacuum pump.
3. Attach center hose of manifold gauges to vacuum
pump.
4. Evacuate the system to hold a 500 micron vacuum.
5. Close off valve to vacuum pump and observe the
micron gauge. If gauge pressure rises above 500
microns in one minute, then evacuation is
incomplete or the system has a leak.
6. If vacuum gauge does not rise above 500 microns in
10 minutes, the evacuation should be complete.
7. With vacuum pump and micron gauge blanked off,
open valve on R–22 cylinder and allow refrigerant
pressure to build up to about 80 psig.
8. Close valve on the R–22 supply cylinder. Close
valves on manifold gauge set and remove
refrigerant charging hoses from liquid and gas
17
Page 18
IInnssttaallllaattiioonn
gauge ports.
9. Leak test the entire system. Using proper
procedures and caution, as described in the
previous section, repair any leaks found and repeat
the leak test.
Insulating and Isolating
Refrigerant Lines
Insulate the entire suction line with refrigerant piping
insulation. Also insulate any portion of the liquid line
exposed to temperature extremes. Insulate and isolate
liquid and suction lines from each other. Isolate
refrigerant lines from the structure and any duct work.
IImmppoorrttaanntt::
1. To prevent possible noise or vibration
problems, be certain to isolate
refrigerant lines from the building.
2. All suction and hot gas bypass piping (if
installed) should be insulated from the
termination in the air handler to the
condensing unit cabinet entry. Failure to
do so can cause condensate drip off and
performance degradation.
3. Prior to starting a unit, it is advisable to
have the approved oils available in the
event oil needs to be added to the
system.
If charging by weight, refer to Table 3, p. 18 for starting
change. If refrigerant adjustments are needed because
of length of line, refer to ”Charging Charts and
Superheat,” p. 25.
Charge by weight through the gauge port on the liquid
line. Once the charge enters the system, backseat
(open) the liquid line service valve and disconnect the
charging line and replace the cap on the gauge port.
NNootteess::
•R-22 should only be charged in the liquid
state.
•When possible, always charge the
refrigerant into the liquid line of the unit.
•If the entire charge can’t be charged into the
liquid line, the balance of the unit charge can
be metered through a charging manifold set
as liquid — preferably through a schrader
valve into the suction line to the compressor
— only while the compressor is running.
For units equipped with compressors containing site
glasses, the oil level must be visible through the sight
glass when the compressor is running under stabilized
conditions and a few minutes after the compressor has
stopped.

Liquid Charging
This procedure is accomplished with the unit
operating. Electrical connections must be complete. Do
not proceed until the system is ready to operate.
NNoottee:: The compressor access panel must be installed
when the unit is running and being charged.
Manifold hoses must be routed through
refrigerant gauge access hole(s). See
1. Turn on power to the unit. Allow the system to run
for 15 minutes to stabilize operating conditions.
2. Measure airflow across the indoor coil. Compare
the measurements with the fan performance data in
the Data/Submittal or Service Facts. Once proper
airflow is established, compare discharge pressure
and liquid temperature to the ”Charging Charts,” p.
25. Add or remove refrigerant (liquid only) as
required to obtain correct discharge pressure and
liquid temperature.
3. Check suction line superheat and condenser subcooling to ensure the unit is operating properly.
4. Disconnect all power to the unit.
IImmppoorrttaanntt:: If the unit is charged and left without
power until a later date, the crankcase
heater should be energized for a
minimum of 8 hours prior to powering
the compressor(s).
Field wiring consists of providing power supply to the
unit, installing the system indoor thermostat and
providing low voltage system interconnecting wiring.
Access to electrical connection locations is shown in
”Dimensional Data,” p. 10. Determine proper wire sizes
and unit protective fusing requirements by referring to
the unit nameplate and/or the unit Service Facts. Field

Pre-Start
Control Circuit Features
NNoottee:: Not all of these features may be required for your
unit, check electrical schematic.
Discharge Temperature Limit (DTL)
The control’s sensor is located on the discharge line.
This device will shut off the compressor and the
outdoor fan(s) if the discharge temperature exceeds the
DTL setting. Once the discharge temperature has
returned to normal, the compressor will cycle back on.
Evaporator Defrost Control (EDC)
This control is located in the Air Handler. The control’s
sensing tube is embedded vertically in the evaporator
coil, near the center. This device will stop the
compressor if the indoor coil temperature drops below
its setting. The indoor air will still circulate across the
coil bringing the temperature of the coil back up to the
cut-in temperature of the evaporator defrost control.
Low Pressure Cut-Out (LPCO)
This control’s sensor is located in the suction (gas) line,
near the compressor. This control will stop the
compressor and the outdoor fans if suction pressure
drops below the Low Pressure Cut-Out setting. Once
the suction pressure has returned to normal, the
compressor and outdoor fans will cycle back on.
High Pressure Cut-Out (HPCO)
This control’s sensor is located in the discharge line.
This device will shut off the compressor and the
outdoor fan(s) if the discharge pressure exceeds the
High Pressure Cut-Out’s setting. Once the discharge
pressure has returned to normal, the compressor will
cycle back on.
This device is embedded in the compressor. It will shut
off the compressor if the discharge temperature of the
compressor exceeds its design trip temperature.
NNoottee:: The IOL will put the compressor back in
operation once the compressor motor heat has
dropped below the trip setting; however, a check
of the refrigerant and electrical systems should
be made to determine the cause and be
corrected.

Start-Up
ReliaTel™™ Controls
The ReliaTel™ Control is a microelectronic control
feature, which provides operating functions that are
significantly different than conventional
Electromechanical units. The ReliaTel™ Refrigeration
Module (RTRM) uses proportional/integral control
algorithms to perform specific unit functions that
govern the unit operation in response to application
conditions.
The RTRM provides compressor anti-short cycle (ASC)
timing functions through minimum““OOffff”” and ““OOnn””
timing to increase reliability, performance and to
maximize unit efficiency. Upon power initialization, the
RTRM performs self-diagnostic checks to insure that all
internal controls are functioning. It also checks the
configuration parameters against the components
connected to the system. The system LED located on
the RTRM module is turned ““OOnn”” within one second
after power-up if all internal operations are correct.
The heating and cooling cycles of the heat pump are
automatic for Heat and Cool functions when using an
optional automatic changeover thermostat (TS).
The fan switch on the optional automatic changeover
thermostat can be placed in either the OONN position,
causing continuous evaporator (indoor) fan operation,
or the AAUUTTOO position causing fan operation to coincide
with heating or cooling run cycles. (In AAUUTTOO position,
the fan switch automatically changes to Heat or Cool in
response to sufficient room temperature change.)

When a request for heating occurs, the control system
turns OONN the mechanical heat (compressors) to
perform heating. Dual circuit heat pumps are factory
configured to have 2-step mechanical heating enabled
(RTRM J4-3 tied to ground).
The staging sequence depends on the type of
mechanical heating that is enabled.
•If 1-Step mechanical heating is enabled (RTRM J4-3
not tied to ground), the unit will stage according to
Table 9, p. 31, as a result of the proportional/
integral control algorithms.
•Units with 2-step mechanical heating will stage
according to Table 10, p. 31, as a result of the
proportional/integral control algorithms.
With mechanical heating, when a heat request is turned
OONN, the Indoor Fan request is turned OONN. When the
heat request is turned OOFFFF, the Indoor Fan request is
turned OOFFFF after a specified delay (60 seconds on all
dual-compressor units and 80 seconds on all single
compressor units). See Table 7, p. 30, Table 8, p. 31,
Table 9, p. 31, and Table 10, p. 31 in this document for
the staging, sequence, and control.
Auxiliary Heat
Auxiliary Heat is factory disabled on all Odyssey units
(Jumper placed between J2-1 and J2-2 RTRM inputs). If
configured (Jumper wire cut or removed between J2-1
and J2-2 on RTRM) and installed, Auxiliary Heat is
enabled or disabled by Smart Recovery.
Smart Recovery
Smart Recovery dictates that if the Active Zone
Temperature is making a recovery using only
mechanical heating toward the setpoint at a rate of at
least 6°F/hour (0.1°F/minute), the electric heat is
disabled. If Smart Recovery is not disabling electric
heat, an approximate 9 minute stage-up delay (plus or
minus a few minutes) is provided for each stage to
allow time for recovery to begin. Stages of electric heat
are enabled and energized as necessary to meet
heating demand. When the request for Auxiliary Heat is
removed, the Indoor Fan request is turned OOFFFF at the
same time as the Electric Heat Stages. See Table 7, p.
30, Table 8, p. 31, Table 9, p. 31, and Table 10, p. 31 for
the staging, sequence, and control.
All split system units are also configured from the
factory for only 1-Stage of Electric Heat (Jumper placed
between J1-3 and J1-6 RTRM inputs). To enable two
stages of Electric Heat, cut or remove the jumper
between J1-3 and J1-6 RTRM inputs.
Emergency Heat
When Emergency Heat mode is requested and
Auxiliary Electric Heat is configured and installed, only
the Auxiliary Electric Heat will be turned OONN to satisfy
the Heat request. Mechanical heat will be held OOFFFF.
When the request for Emergency Heat is initiated, the
Indoor Fan request is turned OONN 1 second before the
electric heat stages are activated. See Table 7, p. 30,
Table 8, p. 31, Table 9, p. 31, and Table 10, p. 31for the
staging, sequence, and control.
Cooling
With a request for Cooling, the RTRM stages the
circuits and control normally for single and dual stage
SSP-SVX15C-EN

SSttaarrtt--UUpp
cooling applications. If the unit is configured with a
zone sensor, switchover valve 1 (SOV1) and switchover
valve 2 (SOV2) are energized for the duration of the
Cooling mode and do not change states until the unit
either enters OOFFFF mode or transitions to Heat mode. If
the unit is controlled with a thermostat, SOV1 and
SOV2 are energized while the thermostat W1/O signal
output to the RTRM is active.
The outdoor fans (ODF) will turn OONN and OOFFFF with the
compressors. Circuit 1 fan cycles with compressor 1
and circuit 2 fan will cycle with compressor. If a
compressor is turned OOFFFF, the anti-short cycle timer
(ASC) will hold the compressor OOFFFF for 3 minutes. See
Table 7, p. 30, Table 8, p. 31, Table 9, p. 31, and Table
10, p. 31 for the staging, sequence, and control.
Demand Defrost
When power is first applied to the unit, the first
demand-defrost cycle will be initiated based on a
cumulative run time of exactly 30 minutes only at the
required conditions. The cumulative run time at the
required conditions is tracked separately for each
compressor.
Shortly after completion of the first defrost cycle, the
system control calculates the temperature difference
between the outdoor coil and outdoor air, using the
result as an indicator of unit performance at dry coil
conditions.
Conditions Triggering the Defrost Cycle
Over time, as moisture and frost accumulate on the
coil, the coil temperature will drop, increasing the
temperature difference. When the temperature
difference is large enough, a defrost cycle is initiated.
Demand Defrost is initiated when the outdoor air
temperature (OAS) is below 52°F and the outdoor coil
temperature (CTS) is below 33°F.
Single and Dual Circuits
When a circuit enters Defrost mode, the compressor
will remain energized, the associated outdoor fan
(ODF) will de-energize, the associated switchover valve
(SOV) output will energize, and the first stage of
Auxiliary Heat energizes.
On dual circuit units, the opposite circuit's state will
remain unchanged if a defrost cycle has not been
initiated on that circuit. Each circuit will enter defrost
independently based on its associated Outdoor Coil
Temperature Sensor (CTS), the Outdoor Air
Temperature Sensor (OAS), and its total accumulated
run time.
Termination of the Defrost Cycle
A circuit will leave defrost, during normal conditions,
once the outdoor coil temperature reaches the outdoor
air temperature + 47°F which must be above 57°F and
not greater than 72°F. Termination of the defrost cycle
includes a "Soft Start" delay of 5 seconds for the
switchover valve (SOV) where the outdoor fans (ODF)
are turned on 5 seconds before the switchover valve
(SOV) is returned to the heating position to help
smooth the transition.
Behavior of Switchover Valves
The switchover valves (SOV) will both be energized
during cooling mode and will be de-energized during
Heat or OOFFFF mode. However, during a defrost cycle,
only the circuit that requires a defrost cycle will
energize its switchover valve (SOV). For thermostat
control, if a thermostat is requesting for the switchover
(SOV) to be energized or de-energized, both switchover
valve (SOV) outputs will follow the thermostat request
(unless a circuit is in a defrost cycle).
Defrost Configuration Facts
Units are configured from the factory to have
Independent Circuit defrost (RTRM input J9-3 tied to
ground with RTRM input J1-5 OPEN).

Service Test Modes for ReliaTel™™ Controls
Test Modes
Upon power initialization, the RTRM performs selfdiagnostic checks to ensure 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 RTRM module is turned
““OOnn”” within one second of power-up if internal
operation is okay.
Use one of the following ““TTeesstt”” procedures to bypass
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 2 to 3 seconds.
For the initial start-up of the unit, this method allows
the technician to cycle a component ““OOnn”” and have up
to one hour to complete the check. Service Test Mode
will be ignored if a short is present across Test 1 and
Test 2 at start-up.
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 ““TTeesstt””
terminals for 2 to 3 seconds. The system LED located
on the RTRM module will blink when the test mode has
been initiated. The unit can be left in any ““TTeesstt”” 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 system LED will glow continuously and
Resistance Test Mode
This method can be used for start-up when 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.
the unit will revert to the ““SSyysstteemm”” control.
There are three methods in which the ““SSeerrvviiccee TTeesstt””

The RTRM has the ability to provide the service
personnel with some unit diagnostics and system
status information.
Before turning the main power disconnect switch ““OOffff,,””
follow the steps below to check the ReliaTel™
Refrigeration Module (RTRM). All diagnostics & system
status information stored in the RTRM will be lost when
the main power is turned ““OOffff””.
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.
NNoottee:: The J6 & J7 screw terminals must be tightened
in order to accurately measure voltage in the
required steps.
1. Verify that the system LED on the RTRM is burning
continuously. If the LED is lit, go to Step 3.
2. If the LED is not lit, verify that 24 VAC is present
between J1-1 and J1-2. If 24 VAC is present,
proceed to Step 3. If 24 VAC is not present, check
the unit main power supply, check transformer
(TNS1). Proceed to Step 3 if necessary.
3. Utilizing ”Method 1”, p. 34 or ”Method 2”, p. 35 in
the System Status Checkout Procedure section,
check the following:
•System status
•Heating status
•Cooling status
NNoottee:: If a System failure is indicated, proceed to
Step 4. If no failures are indicated, proceed to
Step 5.
4. If a System failure is indicated, recheck Step 1 and
Step 2. If the LED is not lit in Step 1, and 24 VAC is
present in Step 2, then the RTRM has failed.
Replace the RTRM.
5. If no failures are indicated, use one of the TEST
mode procedures described in the ”Service Test
Modes chapter,” p. 33 to start the unit. This
procedure will allow you to check all of the RTRM
outputs, and all of the external controls (relays,
contactors, etc.) that the RTRM outputs energize, for
each respective mode. Proceed to Step 6.
6. Step the system through all of the available modes,
and verify operation of all outputs, controls, and
modes. If a problem in operation is noted in any
mode, you may leave the system in that mode for
up to one hour while troubleshooting. Refer to the
sequence of operations for each mode, to assist in
verifying proper operation. Make the necessary
repairs and proceed to Step 7 and Step 8.
7. If no abnormal operating conditions appear in the
test mode, exit the test mode by turning the power
““OOffff”” at the main power disconnect switch.
8. Refer to the individual component test procedures if
other microelectronic components are suspect.
System Status Checkout
Procedure
““SSyysstteemm SSttaattuuss”” is checked by using one of the
following two methods:
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”, p. 35. BAYSENS010B,
BAYSENS011B, BAYSENS119A, BAYSENS020A,
BAYSENS021A, BAYSENS023A, BAYSENS109 and
BAYSENS110 all have the remote panel indication
feature. The LED descriptions are listed below.
•LLEEDD 11 ((SSyysstteemm))
– ““OOnn”” during normal operation.
– ““OOffff”” if a system failure occurs or the LED fails.
– ““FFllaasshhiinngg”” indicates test mode
•LLEEDD 22 ((HHeeaatt))
– ““OOnn”” when the heat cycle is operating.
– ““OOffff”” when the heat cycle terminates or the LED
fails.
– ““FFllaasshhiinngg”” indicates a heating failure.
•LLEEDD 33 ((CCooooll))
– ““OOnn”” when the cooling cycle is operating.
– ““OOffff”” when the cooling cycle terminates or the
LED fails.
– ““FFllaasshhiinngg”” indicates a cooling failure.
The following information describes the complete
listing of failure indication causes.
34
SSP-SVX15C-EN
Page 35
TTrroouubblleesshhoooottiinngg
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.
Cooling Failure
1. Cooling and heating set point (slide pot) on the
zone sensor has failed. Refer to the ”Programmable
& Digital Zone Sensor Test”, p. 37.
2. Zone temperature thermistor ZTEMP on ZTS failed.
Refer to the ”Programmable & Digital Zone Sensor
Test”, p. 37.
3. CC1 or CC2 24 VAC control circuit has opened,
check CC1 & CC2 coils, and any of the controls
below that apply to the unit (HPC1, HPC2, DTL1,
DTL2).
4. LPC1 has opened during the 3 minute minimum “on
time” during 4 consecutive compressor starts,
check LPC1 or LPC2 by testing voltage between the
J1-8 & J3-2 terminals on the RTRM and ground. If
24 VAC is present, the LPCs have not tripped. If no
voltage is present, LPCs have tripped.
The second method for determining system status is
done by checking voltage readings at the RTRM (J6).
The system indication descriptions and the
approximate voltages are listed below.
System Failure
Measure the voltage between terminals J6-9 & J6-6.
•NNoorrmmaall OOppeerraattiioonn = approximately 32 VDC
•SSyysstteemm FFaaiilluurree = less than 1 VDC, approximately
0.75 VDC
•TTeesstt MMooddee = voltage alternates between 32 VDC &
0.75 VDC
Heat Failure
Measure the voltage between terminals J6-7 & J6-6.
•HHeeaatt OOppeerraattiinngg = approximately 32 VDC
•HHeeaatt OOffff = less than 1 VDC, approximately 0.75 VDC
•HHeeaattiinngg FFaaiilluurree = voltage alternates between 32
VDC & 0.75 VDC
Cool Failure
Measure the voltage between terminals J6-8 & J6-6.
•CCooooll OOppeerraattiinngg = approximately 32 VDC
•CCooooll OOffff = less than 1 VDC, approximately 0.75 VDC
•CCoooolliinngg FFaaiilluurree = voltage alternates between 32
VDC & 0.75 VDC
To use LED’s for quick status information at the unit,
purchase a BAYSENS010B ZSM and connect wires with
alligator clamps to terminals 6 through 10. Connected
each respective terminal wire (6 through 10) from the
Zone Sensor to the unit J6 terminals 6 through 10.
NNoottee:: If the system is equipped with a programmable
zone sensor, (BAYSENS119A, or BAYSENS023A),
the LED indicators will not function while the
BAYSENS010A is connected.
Resetting Cooling and Heating
Lockouts
Cooling Failures and Heating Lockouts are reset in an
identical manner.”Method 1”, p. 35 explains resetting
the system from the space; ”Method 2”, p. 35 explains
resetting the system at the unit.
NNoottee:: Before resetting Cooling Failures and Heating
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 MMOODDEE
selection switch at the zone sensor to the OOFFFF position.
After approximately 30 seconds, turn the MMOODDEE
selection switch to the desired mode, i.e. HHEEAATT, CCOOOOLL,
or AAUUTTOO.
Method 2
To reset the system at the unit, cycle the unit power by
turning the disconnect switch OOFFFF and then OONN
Lockouts can be cleared through the building
management system. Refer to the building
management 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 any
time, providing the Indoor Motor (IDM) is operating.
SSP-SVX15C-EN
35
Page 36
TTrroouubblleesshhoooottiinngg
This indicator is usually used to indicate an airside fan
failure.
The RTRM will ignore the closing of this Normally
Open switch for 2 (±1) minutes. This helps prevent
nuisance SERVICE LED indications.
Temperature Tests
NNoottee:: 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 can be tested by measuring the
resistance between terminals 1 and 2 on the Zone

Test 4 - LED Indicator Test (SYS ON,
HEAT, & COOL)
Testing the LED using a meter with diode test function.
Test 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 Load, 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, LED is shorted.
Method 3
To test LED’s with ZSM connected to unit, test voltages
at LED terminals on ZSM. A measurement of 32 VDC,
across an unlit LED, means the LED has failed.
IImmppoorrttaanntt:: Measurements should be made from LED
common (ZSM terminal 6 to respective LED
terminal).
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 J6-11 and J6-12.
Measure voltage again between J6-11 and J6-12,
voltage should flash high and low every 0.5
seconds. The voltage 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 ”Service Test Modes for
ReliaTel Controls,” p. 33.
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.
RLCI Loss of Communications
If the RLCI loses input from the building management
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
““DDeeffaauulltt MMooddee”” to operate.
Testing Serial Communication Voltage
1. Verify 24 VAC is present between terminals J6-14 &
Perform all of the indicated maintenance procedures at
the intervals scheduled. This will prolong the life of the
unit and reduce the possibility of costly equipment
failure.
Monthly
Conduct the following maintenance inspections once
per month.
Check unit wiring to ensure all connections are tight
and that the wiring insulation is intact.
Inspect the condenser coils for dirt and debris. If the
coils appear dirty, clean them.
With the unit operating in the cooling mode, check
the suction and discharge pressures and compare
them with Pressure Curve values in unit Service
Facts. Record these readings on the ”Maintenance
Log”, p. 39.
Annually (Cooling Season)
The following maintenance procedures must be
performed at the beginning of each cooling season to
ensure efficient unit operation.
Perform all of the monthly maintenance
inspections.
With the unit operating, check unit superheat and
record the reading in the ”Maintenance Log”, p. 39.
Remove any accumulation of dust and/or dirt from
the unit casing.
Remove corrosion from any surface and repaint.
Check the gasket around the control panel door to
ensure it fits correctly and is in good condition to
prevent water leakage.
Inspect the control panel wiring to ensure that all
connections are tight and that the insulation is
intact.
NNoottee:: Condenser fan motors are permanently
lubricated.
Check refrigerant piping and fittings for leaks
Inspect the condenser coils for dirt and debris. If the
coils appear dirty, clean them.
Coil Cleaning
Regular coil maintenance, including annual cleaningenhances the unit's operating efficiency by minimizing:
•compressor head pressure and amperage draw
•water carryover
•fan brake horsepower
•static pressure losses
At least once each year — or more often if the unit is
located in a “dirty” environment — clean the coil 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. Contact your local Parts Center for
appropriate detergents.
1. Remove enough panels from the unit to gain safe
access to coil.
2. Straighten any bent coil fins with a fin comb.
3. Remove loose dirt and debris from both sides of the
coil with a soft brush.
4. 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.
5. Pour the cleaning solution into the sprayer.
6. Spray the leaving-airflow side of the coil first; then
spray the opposite side of the coil. 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 Step 7 and 8.
9. Reinstall all of the components and panels removed
in Step 1; then restore power to the unit.
10. Using a fin comb, straighten any coil fins that were
inadvertently bent during the cleaning process.
