Introduction
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:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAU
TION
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.
NOTICE
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 earths 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.

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 start-
up. 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 carriers 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
”Dimensional Data, p. 10).

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 four-
inch 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.

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).

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.

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 leak-
checking 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,

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.

(1 quart container)
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.
Refrigerant Charging Procedure
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. 26.
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.
Check and adjust superheat using Table 6, p.
26, then re-check charging charts to
determine if charge corrections are
necessary.

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.
26. Add or remove refrigerant (liquid only) as
required to obtain correct discharge pressure and
liquid temperature.
3. Check suction line superheat and condenser sub-
cooling 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).

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.
Low Outdoor Ambient Cooling
The Evaporator Defrost Control is standard equipment
on Air Handlers and will permit low ambient cooling
down to 50°F. For cooling operation down to 0°F, use an
Accessory Head Pressure Control on the outdoor unit.
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.

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
Electromechanical Controls
The 24–volt, electromechanical controls feature a
control transformer and contactor pressure lugs for
power wiring. Once the unit is properly installed and
pre-start procedures are complete, start the unit by
turning the System Switch on the indoor thermostat to
either HHEEAATT,CCOOOOLL or AAUUTTOO. The system should

General
Operation of the system cooling (and optional heating)
cycles is controlled by the position of the system switch
on the room thermostat. Once the system switch is
placed in either the HHEEAATTor CCOOOOLL position, unit
operation is automatic. The optional automatic
changeover thermostat, when in the AAUUTTOO position,
automatically changes to heat or cool with sufficient
room temperature change.
Evaporator Fan (Indoor Supply Air)
The evaporator fan is controlled by an OONN//AAUUTTOO
switch on the room thermostat. With the switch
positioned at AAUUTTOO and the system operating in the
cooling mode, fan operation coincides with the cooling
run cycles. If the system is equipped with heat and is
operating in the heating mode while the fan switch is at
AAUUTTOO, fan operation coincides with the heating run
cycles. When the fan switch is positioned at OONN, fan
operation is continuous.
Cooling Mode
With the disconnect switch in the OONN position, current
is supplied to the compressor sump heater(s), phase
monitor and control transformer. The sump heater(s)
supplies heat to the compressor(s) during the OOffff
cycle. The phase monitor looks at the incoming power
to verify that there is no reversed phase, no phase
imbalance, and no loss of phase. If the phase monitor
detects any of these three conditions, it will shut off
control voltage. The transformer steps down the line
voltage to 24V for the low voltage control circuit. When
the room thermostat system switch is positioned at
CCOOOOLL and the fan switch is at AAUUTTOO, the compressor
contactor energizes on a call for cooling. When the
contacts of the compressor contactor close, operation
of the compressor and condenser fan begins. The
evaporator fan contactor also energizes on a call for
cooling and initiates evaporator fan operation.
On units with dual circuits, the second stage of cooling
is initiated as a result of the 2-stage thermostat calling
for additional cooling.
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 timing
functions through minimum OOffffand OOnntiming to
increase reliability, performance and to maximize unit
efficiency. Upon power initialization, the RTRM
performs self-diagnostic checks to ensure that all
internal controls are functioning. It checks the
configuration parameters against the components
connected to the system. The system LED located on
the RTRM module is turned OOnnwithin one second
after power-up if all internal operations are okay.
Once the unit is properly installed and pre-start
procedures are complete, start the unit by turning the
System Switch on the indoor thermostat to either
HHEEAATT,CCOOOOLL or AAUUTTOO. The system should operate
normally.

Control Cooling Mode
For Zone Sensor Control
When the system switch is set to the CCOOOOLL position
and the zone temperature rises above the cooling
setpoint, the RTRM energizes the compressor
contactor, provided the high and low pressure and the
discharge temperature limit controls are closed. When
the compressor contacts close, the compressor and the
outdoor fan motor start to maintain the zone
temperature to within ± 2°F of the sensor setpoint at
the sensed location. On units with dual circuits, the
second stage of cooling is initiated as a result of the
Proportional/Integral control algorithms calling for
additional cooling.
30 SS-SVX12C-EN
For Thermostat Control
When the room thermostat system switch is positioned
at CCOOOOLL and the fan switch is at AAUUTTOO, the RTRM
energizes the compressor contactor, provided the high
and low pressure and the discharge temperature limit
controls are closed. When the contacts of the
compressor contactor close, operation of the
compressor and condenser fan begins. The evaporator
fan contactor also energizes on a call for cooling and
initiates evaporator fan operation. On units with dual
circuits, the second stage of cooling is initiated as a
result of the 2-stage thermostat calling for additional
cooling.
NNoottee:: Irregular unit operation may occur when the unit
is controlled with a triac-switching thermostat.
Please review the approved thermostat vendor
list for all recommended relay-switching
thermostats.
Control Evaporator Fan Operation
When the fan selection switch is set to the AAUUTTOO
position, the RTRM energizes the evaporator fan relay
coil approximately 1 second after energizing the
compressor contactor coil in the cooling mode. In the
heating mode, the RTRM energizes the evaporator fan
relay coil approximately 1 second before energizing the
electric heat contactors.
The RTRM de-energizes the evaporator fan relay coil
approximately 60 seconds on dual compressor units
and 80 seconds on single compressor units after the
cooling requirement has been satisfied to enhance unit
efficiency. When the heating cycle is terminated, the
evaporator fan relay coil is de-energized at the same
time as the heater contactors. When the fan selection
switch is set to the OONN position, the RTRM keeps the
evaporator fan relay coil energized for continuous fan
motor operation.
Control Heating Operation
Electric heat is factory disabled on all split system units
with ReliaTel control (jumper placed between J2-1 and
J2-2 RTRM inputs). To configure the unit for electric
heat, cut or remove the jumper wire between J2-1 and
J2-2 on the RTRM. All split system units with ReliaTel
control are also configured from the factory for only 1-
stage of electric heat (jumper placed between J1-3 and
J1-6 RTRM inputs). To configure the unit for 2-stages of
electric heat, cut or remove the jumper placed between
J1-3 and J1-6 RTRM inputs.
When the system switch is set to the HHEEAATT position
and heating is required, the RTRM energizes the Heat 1
relay coil on the RTRM. When the Heat 1 relay contacts
close, the first stage electric heat contactor is
energized. If the first stage of electric heat cannot
satisfy the heating requirement, the RTRM energizes
the Heat 2 relay coil on the RTRM. When the Heat 2
relay contacts close, the second stage electric heat
contactor is energized. The first and second stages of
heat are cycled OOnnand OOffffas required to maintain
the zone.

Service Test Modes for ReliaTelControls
Test Modes
Upon power initialization, the RTRM performs self-
diagnostic 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
OOnnwithin one second of power-up if internal
operation is okay.
Use one of the following TTeessttprocedures 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 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 “TTeessttstep
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
the unit will revert to the SSyysstteemm”control.
There are three methods in which the SSeerrvviiccee TTeesstt
can be cycled at LTB-Test 1(T1) and LTB-Test 2 (T2).
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 OOnnand 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.
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.

(a) The condenser fans will operate any time a compressor is ON.
(b) Steps for optional accessories and non-applicable modes in unit will be skipped.
Auto Test 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 fixed 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 SSyysstteemmcontrol method. For unit test steps,
test modes, and step resistance values to cycle the
various components, refer to Table 7, p. 31.

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. 32 or ”Method 2”, p. 33 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. 31 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
OOffffat the main power disconnect switch.
8. Refer to the individual component test procedures if
other microelectronic components are suspect.

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. 33 explains resetting
the system from the space; ”Method 2”, p. 33 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.
TTrroouubblleesshhoooottiinngg
34 SS-SVX12C-EN
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

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 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

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. 31.
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 MMooddeeto operate.

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. 37.
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. 37.
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 cleaning-
enhances 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.
