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 responsiblehandling 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 FieldWiring 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.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Required!
Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to
electrical, mechanical and chemical hazards.
•Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians
MUST put on all Personal ProtectiveEquipment (PPE)
recommended for the work being undertaken.
ALWAYS refer to appropriate MSDS sheets and OSHA
guidelines for proper PPE.
•When working with or around hazardous chemicals,

General Information
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 switchconnected to the
RTRM (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 will 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 isat 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 beenclosed for atleast 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 switch 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)
compressor operation, the compressor for that circuit is
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 compressorfor 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
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
The high pressure controls are wired in series between the
compressor outputs on the RTRM and the compressor
contactor coils. If the high pressure control switch 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.
ReliaTel™ Option
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 refrigeration 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

Page 10
General Information
Important:
• The supply air smoke detector samples supply air.The
return and plenum air smoke detectors sample return
air.The smoke detectors are designed to shut off the
unit if smoke is sensed in the supply air stream or
return air stream. This function is performed by
sampling the airflow entering the unit at the return air
opening. Follow the instructions provided below to
assure that the airflow through the unit is sufficient for
adequate sampling. Failure to follow these instructions
will prevent the smoke detectors from performing it's
design function.
• Airflow through the unit is affected by the amount of
dirt and debris accumulated on the indoor coil and
filters.To insure that airflow through the unit is
adequate for proper sampling by the return air smoke
detector, complete adherence to the maintenance
procedures, including recommended intervals
between filter changes, and coil cleaning is required.
•Periodic checks and maintenance procedures must be
performed on the smoke detector to insure that it will
function properly. For detailed instructions concerning
these checks and procedures, refer to the appropriate
section(s) of the smoke detector Installation and
Maintenance Instructions provided with the literature
package for this unit.
In order for the supply air smoke detector or return air
smoke detector to properly sense smoke in the supply air
stream or return air stream, the air velocity entering the
smoke detector unit must be between 500 and 4000 feet
per minute. Equipment covered in this manual will
develop an airflow velocity that falls within these limits
over the entire airflow range specified in the evaporator
fan performance tables.
Human Interface - 5 Inch ColorTouchscreen
(Optional)
The 5 inch ColorTouchscreen Human Interface provides an
intuitive user interface to the rooftop unit that speeds up
unit commissioning, shortens unit troubleshooting times,
and enhances preventative maintenance measures.The

•Data trending capabilities by means of time series
graphs
•Historical alarm messages
•Real-time sensor measurements
•On board system setpoints
•USB port that enables the downloading of component
runtime information as well as trended historical
sensor data
•Customized reports
Phase Monitoring protection
Precedent units with 3-phase power are equipped with
phase monitoring protection as standard.These devices
protect motors andcompressors against problems caused
by phase loss, phase imbalance, and phase reversal
indication.
This sensor monitors voltage between the 3 conductors of
the 3 phase power supply.Two LED lights are provided.
The green light indicates that a balanced 3 phase supply
circuit is properly connected.The red light indicates that
unit operation has been prevented.There are two
conditions that will prevent unit operation.The power

Foundation
If the unit is installed at ground level, elevate it above the
snow line. Provide concrete footings at each support
location with a“full perimeter” support structure or a slab
foundation for support. Refer to Table 1, p. 18for the unit’s
operating and point loading weights when constructing a
footing foundation.
If anchoring is required, anchor the unit to the slab using
hold down bolts or isolators. Isolators should be installed
to minimize the transmission of vibrations into the
building.
WARNING
Risk of Roof Collapsing!
Confirm with a structural engineer that the roof
structure is strong enough to support the combined
weight of the roof curb and the unit. Refer to Table 1,
p. 18 for typical unit and curb weights. Failure to ensure
proper structural roof support could cause the roof to
collapse, which could result in death or serious injury
and property damage.
For rooftop applications, ensure the roof is strong enough
to support the combined unit and support structural
weight. If anchoring is required, anchor the unitto theroof
with hold-down bolts or isolators. Check with a roofing
contractor for proper waterproofing.
Ductwork
Figure 14, p. 20 to Figure 19, p. 21 illustratethe supply and
return air openings as viewed form the rear of the unit.
Elbows with turning vanes or splitters are recommended
to minimize air noise due to turbulence and to reduce static
pressure.
When attaching the ductwork to the unit, provide a water-
tight flexible connector at the unit to prevent operating
sounds from transmitting through the ductwork.
All outdoor ductwork between the unit and the structure
should be weather proofed after installation is completed.

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!
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.
•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 lubricating,
refer to the maintenance section of this manual for
instructions.
•Verify that a condensate trap is installed and the piping
is properly sized and pitched.
•Verify 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.
Eachreading must fall within theutilization 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 =
AV (Average Voltage) =
V1, V2, V3 = 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:
221 + 230 + 227
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.

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 correctedbefore starting theunit by using
an instrument such as an Associated Research Model 45
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.
• Turn the field supplied disconnectswitch 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.
•Observe the ABC and CBAphase indicator lightson the
face of the sequencer.The ABC indicator lightwill 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 the main electrical power and recheck the
phasing. If the phasing is correct, open the disconnect
switch or circuit protection switch and remove the
phase sequence indicator.
Compressor Crankcase Heaters (Optional
on WSC036E*, WSC048E1, and WSC060E1
- Standard on Remaining Units)
Each compressor can be 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.
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 “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 acrossthe“Test” 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 disconnectswitch.
Once the test mode has been terminated, the Liteport LED
will glow continuously and the unit will revert to the
“System” control.
36RT-SVX23F-EN
Page 37
Test Modes
There are three methods in which the“Test” mode can be
cycled at LTB-Test 1 and LTB-Test 2.
•StepTest 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 check.
•ResistanceTest Mode - This method can be used for
start-up providing a decade box for variableresistance
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 willremain in the specific test mode
for approximately one hour even though the
resistance is left on the test terminals.
•AutoTest 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 8, p. 38.

Units with 5-Tap Direct Drive Indoor Fan
Much of the systems performance and reliabilityis 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 motors arespecifically designed tooperate
within the BHP parameters listed in the fan performance
tables of the unit Service Facts.
When verifying direct drive fan performance, the tables
must be used somewhat differently than those of belt
driven fans. Fan performance diagnostics can be easily
recognized when these tables are used correctly.
Before starting the SERVICETEST, set the minimum
position setpoint for the economizer to 0 percent usingthe
setpoint potentiometer locatedon the Economizer Control
(ECA), if applicable.
ReliaTel™ Control
Using the ServiceTest Guide in Table 8, p. 38, momentarily
jump across theTest 1 &Test 2 terminals on LTB1 one time
to start the Minimum VentilationTest.
With the fan operating properly, determine the total
system external static pressure (inches w.c.) by the
following method:
1. Measure the supply andreturn duct static pressure and
sum the resulting absolute values.
2. Use the accessory pressure drop table in the Service
Facts, to calculate the total static pressure drop for all
of the accessories installed on the unit; i.e., curb,
economizer, etc.
Note: Accessory static pressure drop is based on desired
CFM and may not be actual static pressure drop.
3. Add the total accessory static pressuredrop (Step 2)to
the duct external static pressure (Step 1).The sum of
these two values represents the total system external
static pressure.
Using the Fan PerformanceTables in the Service Facts,
look up the selected speed tap setting and match the
measured ESP to determine the approximate CFM.
If the required CFM is too low, (external static pressure is
high) do one or both of the following and repeat
procedure:
•Relieve supply and/or return duct static.
•Change indoor fan speed tap to a higher value
If the required CFM is too high, (external static
pressure is low), do one or both of the following and

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.
Once the new belts are installed, using a Browning or
Gates tension gauge (or equivalent) illustrated in
Figure 44, p. 43; 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 Step b.
3. Set the small O-ring at zero on the force scale of the
gauge plunger.
4. Place thelarge end ofthe gauge at thecenter of thebelt
span; then depress the gauge plunger until the largeOring is even with the top of the next belt or even with
a straightedge placed across the fan and motor
sheaves. Refer to Figure 44, p. 43.
5. Remove the belt tension gauge.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 10, p. 44. 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 10, p. 44
7. Recheck the belt tension at least twice during the first
2 to 3 days of operation. Belt tension may decrease
until the new belts are “run in”.
WARNING
Rotating Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and
troubleshooting of this product it may be necessary to
work 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 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 removing or installing the new belts, do not stretch
them over the sheaves. Loosen the belts using the belt
tension adjustment bolts on the motor mounting base.

Inspect the return air filters. Clean or replace them if
necessary. If included, leave filter removal tool in unit.
Refer to the unit Service Facts for filter information.
Return Air Smoke Detector Maintenance
Airflow through the unit is affected by the amount of dirt
and debris accumulated on the indoor coil and filters.To
insure that airflow through the unit is adequate for proper
sampling by the return air smoke detector, complete
adherence to the maintenance procedures, including
recommended intervals between filter changes, and coil
cleaning is required.
Periodic checks and maintenance procedures must be
performed on the smoke detector to insure that it will
function properly. For detailed instructions concerning
these checks and procedures, refer to the appropriate
section(s) of the smoke detector Installation and
Maintenance Instructions provided with the literature
package for this unit.
Condensate Overflow Switch
During maintenance, the switch float (black ring) must be
checked to ensure free movement up and down.
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.
•Manually rotate the condenser fan(s) to ensure free
movement and check motor bearings for wear. Verify
that all of the fan mounting hardware is tight.
•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.
•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.
•Check the supply fan belt. If the belt is frayed or worn,
replace it. Refer to the “Fan Belt Adjustment” section
for belt replacement and adjustments.
•Verify that all wire 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.).
•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 suction and discharge
pressures (each circuit); superheat (each circuit);
Record this data on an “operator’s maintenance log” like
the one shown in Table 11,p. 46. If the operating pressures
indicate a refrigerant shortage, measure the system
superheat. For guidelines, refer to the “Compressor StartUp” section.
Important: 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.
Heating Season
•Inspect the unit’s air filters. If necessary, clean or
replace them.
•Check supply fan motor bearings; repair or replace the
motor as necessary.
•Inspect both the main unit control panel and heat
section control box for loose electrical components
and terminal connections, as well as damaged wire
insulation. Make any necessary repairs.
•Verify that the electric heat system operates properly.
Coil Cleaning
Regular coil maintenance, including annual cleaning,
enhances the unit’s operating efficiency by minimizing:
compressor head pressure and amperage draw;
evaporator water carryover; fan brake horsepower, due to
increase static pressure losses; airflow reduction.
At least once each year, or more often if the unit is located
in a “dirty” environment, clean the evaporator and
condenser coils using the instructions outlined below. Be
sure to follow these instructions as closely as possible to
avoid damaging the coils.

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.
1. Verify that the Liteport 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 presence
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” or “Method 2” in the “System
Status Diagnostic” section, check the following:
•System status
•Heating status
•Cooling status
If a System failure is indicated, proceed to Step 4.Ifno
failures are indicated, proceed to Step 5.
“System Status” 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. BAYSENS110*, BAYSENS109*, BAYSENS119*,
& 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.
RT-SVX23F-EN47
Page 48
Troubleshooting
LED 4 (Service)
“On” indicates a clogged filter.
“Off” during normal operation.
“Flashing” indicates an evaporator or condensate
overflow switch 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.
Cooling Failure
•Cooling and heating set point (slide pot) on the zone
sensor has failed. Refer to the “Zone SensorTest
Procedure” section.
•Zone temperature thermistor ZTEMP on ZTS failed.
Refer to the “Zone SensorTest Procedure” section.
•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).
•LPC1 has opened during the 3 minute minimum “on
time” during 4 consecutive compressor starts, check
LPC1 or LPC2 by testingvoltage between the J1-8 & J32 terminals on the RTRM and ground. If 24 VAC is
present, the LPC’s has not tripped. If no voltage is
present, LPC’s has tripped.
Service Failure
•If the supplyfan proving switch has closed,the unit will
not operate (when connected to RTOM), check the fan
motor, belts, and proving switch.
•Clogged filter switch has closed, check the filters.
•If the condensate overflow switch is closed, the unit
will not operate, check the float position is not in a
tripped condition and verify an "open" between wires
connecting to RTOM J6-1, J6-2.
Simultaneous Heat and Cool Failure
•Emergency Stop is activated.
Method 2
The second method for determining systemstatus 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.
Normal Operation = approximately 32 VDC
System Failure = less than 1 VDC, approximately 0.75 VDC
Test Mode = voltage alternates between 32 VDC & 0.75
VDC
Heat Failure
Measure the voltage between terminals J6-7 & J6-6.
Heat Operating = approximately 32 VDC
Heat Off = less than 1 VDC, approximately 0.75 VDC
Heating Failure = voltage alternates between 32 VDC &
0.75 VDC
Cool Failure
Measure the voltage between terminals J6-8 & J6-6.
Cool Operating = approximately 32 VDC
Cool Off = less than 1 VDC, approximately 0.75 VDC
Cooling Failure = voltage alternates between 32 VDC &
0.75 VDC
Service Failure
Measure the voltage between terminals J6-10 & J6-6.
Clogged Filter = Approximately 32VDC.
Normal = Less than 1 VDC, approximately 0.75 VDC Fan
Failure = voltage alternates between 32 VDC & 0.75 VDC.
To use LED’s for quick status information at the unit,
purchase a BAYSENS110* ZSM and connect wires with
alligator clamps to terminals 6through 10. 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* the LED indicators will
not function while the BAYSENS110* is connected.
Resetting Cooling and Heating Lockouts
Cooling Failures and Heating Lockouts are reset in an
identical manner. Method 1 explains resetting the system
from the space; Method 2 explains resetting the system at
the unit.
Note: 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 “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 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.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.The LED 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 closed,indicating a fan failure,and it will shutthe
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 TemperatureThermistor (ZTEMP)
This component is tested by measuring the resistance
between terminals 1 and 2 on the ZoneTemperature
Sensor. Below are some typical indoor temperatures, and
corresponding resistive values.
Test 2 Cooling Set Point (CSP) and Heating Set
Point (HSP)
Table 12. Cooling (CSP) and heating setpoint (HSP)
The resistance of these potentiometers are measured
between the following ZSM terminals. Refer to the chart
above for approximate resistances at the given setpoints.

HSP Resistance
Test 3 System Mode and Fan Selection
The combined resistanceof the Modeselection switchand
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 IndicatorTest, (SYS ON, HEAT,
COOL & SERVICE)
Method 1
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 32VDC, across
an unlit LED, means the LED has failed.
