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.
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.
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.
CAUTIONsIndicates 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.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious
injury. 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.
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 PPE required for the work being
undertaken (Examples; cut resistant gloves/sleeves,

Sheets (MSDS)/Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and OSHA
guidelines for proper PPE.
• When working with or around hazardous chemicals,
ALWAYS refer to the appropriate MSDS/SDS and
OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of Chemicals) guidelines
for information on allowable personal exposure
levels, proper respiratory protection and handling
instructions.
• If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or
flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE in accordance
with OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific
requirements for arc flash protection, PRIOR to
servicing the unit. NEVER PERFORM ANY

General Information
Unit Inspection
As soon as the unit arrives at the job site:
• Verify that the nameplate data matches the data on the
sales order and bill of lading (including electrical data).
• Verify that the power supply complies with the unit
nameplate specifications.
• Visually inspect the exterior of the unit, including the
roof, for signs of shipping damage.
• Visually inspect the internal components for shipping
damage as soon as possible after delivery and before
it is stored. Do not walk on the sheet metal base pans.
• If concealed damage is discovered, notify the carrier’s
terminal of damage immediately by phone and by
mail. Concealed damage must be reported within 15
days.
– Request an immediate joint inspection of the
damage by the carrier and the consignee.
– Do not remove 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 appropriate sales representative before
installing or repairing a damaged unit.
Precautionary Measures
• Avoid breathing fiberglass dust.
• Use a NIOSH approved dust/mist respirator.
• Avoid contact with the skin or eyes. Wear long-sleeved,
loose-fitting clothing, gloves, and eye protection.
• Wash clothes separately from other clothing: rinse
washer thoroughly.
• Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear-out, and
spraying may generate fiber concentrations requiring
additional respiratory protection. Use the appropriate
NIOSH approved respiration in these situations.
First Aid Measures
• Eye Contact - Flush eyes with water to remove dust. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
• Skin Contact - Wash affected areas gently with soap
and warm water after handling.
Storage
Take precautions to prevent condensate from forming
inside the unit’s electrical compartments and motors if:
• The unit is stored before it is installed; or,
• The unit is set on the roof curb, and temporary heat is
provided in the building. Isolate all side panel service
entrances and base pan openings (e.g., conduit holes,
S/A and R/ A openings, and flue openings) from the
ambient air until the unit is ready for start-up.
Note: Do not use the unit’s heater for temporary heat
without first completing the start-up procedure
detailed under “Start Up,” p. 23.
The manufacturer will not assume any responsibility for
equipment damage resulting from condensate
accumulation on the unit’s electrical and/or mechanical
components.
Unit Description
Before shipment, each unit is leak tested, dehydrated,
charged with refrigerant and compressor oil, and run
tested for proper control operation.
Direct-drive, vertical discharge condenser fans are
provided with built-in thermal overload protection.
The stages of capacity control for these units are achieved
by starting the Economizer Control Actuator (ECA).
Economizer Control Actuator
Electromechanical Control
The ECA monitors the mixed air temperature, return air
temperature, minimum position setpoint (local or
remote), power exhaust setpoint, CO2setpoint, CO2, and
ambient dry bulb/ enthalpy sensor or comparative
humidity (return air humidity against ambient humidity)
sensors, if selected, to control dampers to an accuracy of
±5 percent of stroke. The actuator is spring returned to the
closed position any time that power is lost to the unit. It is
capable of delivering up to 25 in·lb of torque and is
powered by 24 Vac.
WARNING
Fiberglass Wool!
Product contains fiberglass wool. Disturbing the
insulation in this product during installation,
maintenance or repair will expose you to airborne
particles of glass wool fibers and ceramic fibers known
to the state of California to cause cancer through
inhalation. You MUST wear all necessary Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) including gloves, eye
protection, a NIOSH approved dust/mist respirator, long
sleeves and pants when working with products
containing fiberglass wool. Exposition to glass wool
fibers without all necessary PPE equipment could result
in cancer, respiratory, skin or eye irritation, which could
result in death or serious injury.

General Information
RT-SVX50C-EN 7
JADE Economizer Control (For Low Leak
Economizer (LLE) Only)
The JADE controller is a standalone economizer controller
that provides outdoor air dry-bulb economizer control
standard. With optional Sylk Bus sensors, the controller
can provide comparative or reference enthalpy control.
Dampers are controlled to an accuracy of ±3.2 percent of
stroke. The actuator is spring returned to the closed
position any time that power is lost to the actuator. It is
capable of delivering up to 88 in·lb of torque and is
powered by 24 Vac.
System Input Devices &
Functions
The unit must have a thermostat input in order to operate.
The descriptions of the following basic input devices used
within the unit are to acquaint the operator with their
function as they interface with the various features.
Refer to the unit’s electrical schematic for the specific
device connections. The following controls are available
from the factory for field installation.
Drain Pan Condensate Overflow Switch
(Optional)
This input incorporates the Condensate Overflow Switch
(COF) mounted on the drain pan. When the condensate
level reaches the trip point, the COF relay energizes and
opens the 24VAC control circuit, disabling the unit. A delay
timer prevents the unit from staring for 3 minutes.
Phase Monitor
The Phase Monitor is a three-phase line monitor module
that protects against phase loss, phase reversal and phase
unbalance. It is intended to protect compressors from
reverse rotation. It has an operating input voltage range of
190–600 Vac, and LED indicators for ON and FAULT. There
are no field adjustments and the module will automatically
reset from a fault condition.
Discharge Line Thermostat Control
The high pressure controls and discharge line thermostats
are wired in series between the thermostat signal and the
compressor contactors. If the high pressure control switch
or the discharge line thermostat open, the 24VAC signal
from the thermostat is interrupted and the compressor is
disabled. There is no automatic lockout.
Power Exhaust Control (Optional)
The power exhaust fan is started whenever the position of
the economizer dampers meets or exceed the power
exhaust setpoint when the indoor fan is on.
The setpoint panel is located in the return air section and
is factory set at 25% (50% for LLE).
To configure the LLE controller, set EXH1 SET (or EXH1 L
& EXH1 H with two-speed fan) in the SETPOINTS menu. 2-
speed fan mode requires AUX2 I set as W.
Evaporator Frost Control (Optional)
This input incorporates the Frostat™ control (FOS)
mounted in the indoor coil and can be activated by closing
a field supplied contact installed in parallel with the FOS.
If this circuit is open before the compressor is started, the
compressor will not be allowed to operate. Anytime this
circuit is opened for 5 continuous seconds during
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
FOS close.
Sensors
High Temperature Sensor (BAYFRST003*)
This sensor connects to the Emergency Stop Input on the
LTB and provides high limit “shutdown” of the unit. The
sensor is used to detect high temperatures due to fire in
the air conditioning or ventilation ducts. The sensor is
designed to mount directly to the sheet metal duct. Each kit
contains two sensors. The return air duct sensor
(X1310004001) is set to open at 135°F.
The supply air duct sensor (X1310004002) is set to open at
240°F. The control can be reset after the temperature has
been lowered approximately 25°F below the cutout
setpoint.
Thermostat (TCONT802AS32DA)
This thermostat is a multi-stage 3 heat/2 cool, auto-
changeover digital display thermostat. It is a
programmable thermostat, and a 7-day programmable
stat with night setback shall be available. In addition, it is
wall mounted.
Thermostat (TCONT402AN32DA)
This thermostat is a multi-stage 3 heat/2 cool, auto
changeover digital display thermostat. It is a non-
programmable, wall-mounted thermostat, and it can be
used for economizer operation.
CO2Sensor
This optional sensor can be added for Demand Control
Ventilation (DCV) functionality.
On units with a low leak economizer, configure the JADE
controller by setting the following parameters:
SETPOINTS Menu:
DCV SET = desired CO2ppm to start DCV
VENTMAX = desired maximum position w/DCV &
occupied status (2-speed applications require LO & HI
settings)

General Information
8RT-SVX50C-EN
VENTMIN = desired minimum position w/DCV & occupied
status (2-speed applications require LO & HI settings)
ADVANCED SETUP Menu:
CO2 ZERO = set to detector's start level
CO2 SPAN = detector's max level minus start level
Attach the sensor to the CO2and "R" terminals (at
customer connections).
Note: When using any 0-10 Vdc CO2sensor with the JADE
you will need to set CO2 ZERO to 400 ppm and the
CO2 SPAN to 1600 ppm in the ADVANCED SETUP
menu.
Occupancy Sensor
A customer-supplied occupancy sensor can also be added
to provide damper control based on occupied/unoccupied
conditions.
Low Leak Economizer Units
To configure the JADE controller, set:
SYSTEM SETUP menu: OCC = INPUT
Attach the occupancy sensor to the OCC SENSOR wire and
"R" terminal (at customer connections). The occupancy
sensor must utilize a normally open contact for proper
operation.
If an occupancy sensor is not used, another option to
controlling occupied and unoccupied status is to use the
'G' input (fan is running). Connect the G input to the OCC
SENSOR wire (at customer connections). The controller
will then operate in the occupied mode every time the
indoor fan is running.
Initiation of Operating Modes -
JADE Controller
The JADE controller is able to initiate the following modes:
Compressor, Economizer, Fans, Heating System, and
Cooling System.
The Compressor mode is initiated by either the OAT going
above the DRYBLB SET setting or by the thermostat
initiating a call to cool when the damper is at 100% open.
The Economizer mode is controlled by the MAT getting
above the MAT SET setting while the OAT is below the
DRYBLB SET setting. While the fans are not controlled by
the controller, the Fan mode is dependent on what state
the system is in (OCC or Y1 states will cause the damper to
go to a LOW fan speed damper setting, while Y2 or W
states will cause the controller to open the damper to the
HIGH fan speed damper setting). The Heating System
mode requires an input to the AUX2-1 terminal from the
thermostat, and the Cooling System mode requires an
input to the Y2 IN and/or the Y1 IN terminals from the
thermostat.

Dimensional Data
Figure 1, p. 12 illustrates the minimum operating and
service clearances for either a single or multiple unit
installation. These clearances are the minimum distances
necessary to assure adequate serviceability, cataloged
unit capacity, and peak operating efficiency.
Providing less than the recommended clearances may
result in condenser coil starvation, “short-circuiting” of
exhaust and economizer airflows, or recirculation of hot
condenser air.

WARNING
Heavy Objects!
Ensure that all the lifting equipment used is properly
rated for the weight of the unit being lifted. Each of the
cables (chains or slings), hooks, and shackles used to
lift the unit must be capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Lifting cables (chains or slings) may
not be of the same length. Adjust as necessary for even
unit lift. Other lifting arrangements could cause
equipment or property damage. Failure to follow
instructions above or properly lift unit could result in
unit dropping and possibly crushing operator/
technician which could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Improper Unit Lift!
Test lift unit approximately 24 inches to verify proper
center of gravity lift point. To avoid dropping of unit,
reposition lifting point if unit is not level. Failure to
properly lift unit could result in unit dropping and
possibly crushing operator/technician which could
result in death or serious injury and possible equipment
or property-only damage.

Installation
Unit Foundation
Horizontal Units
Notes:
•For complete step by step instructions on how to install
a Horizontal Conversion Kit, please refer to ACC-
SVN159*-EN.
•For units with optional Condensate Overflow Switch
(COF), the switch will not work properly if unit is not
level or slightly sloped toward switch.
•To assure proper condensate flow during operation the
unit and the curb must be level.
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 Ta b l e 1 , p . 1 5 for 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.
For rooftop applications, if anchoring is required, anchor
the unit to the roof with hold-down bolts or isolators.
Check with a roofing contractor for proper waterproofing
procedures.
Ductwork
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.
Note: For sound consideration, cut only the holes in the
roof deck for the ductwork penetrations. Do not cut
out the entire roof deck within the curb perimeter.
If a Curb Accessory Kit is not used:
a. The ductwork can be attached directly to the
factory-provided flanges around the unit’s supply
and return air openings. Be sure to use flexible duct
connections at the unit.
b. For “built-up” curbs supplied by others, gaskets
must be installed around the curb perimeter flange
and the supply and return air opening flanges.

A condensate trap must be installed at the unit due to the
drain connection being on the “negative pressure” side of
the fan.
A condensate drain line must be connected to the P-Trap.
Pitch the drain lines at least ½-inch for every 10 feet of
horizontal run to assure proper condensate flow. Do not
allow the horizontal run to sag causing a possible double-
trap condition which could result in condensate backup
due to “air lock”.
Filter Installation
Each unit ships with 2-inch filters installed. The quantity of
filters is determined by unit size. Access to the filters is
obtained by removing the filter access panel.
Refer to the unit Service Facts (shipped with each unit) for
filter requirements.
Note: Do not operate the unit without filters.

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

1. Use copper conductors unless otherwise specified.
2. Ensure that the AC control wiring between the controls
and the unit’s termination point does not exceed three
(3) ohms/conductor for the length of the run.
Note: Resistance in excess of 3 ohms per conductor
could cause component failure due to insufficient
AC voltage supply.
3. Be sure to check all loads and conductors for grounds,
shorts, and mis-wiring.
4. Do not run the AC low voltage wiring in the same
conduit with the high voltage power wiring.
5. Route low voltage wiring per illustrations on the next
page.
Voltage Imbalance
Three phase electrical power to the unit must meet
stringent requirements for the unit to operate properly.
Measure each leg (phase-to-phase) of the power supply.
Each reading must fall within the utilization range stamped
on the unit nameplate. If any of the readings do not fall
within the proper tolerances, notify the power company to
correct this situation before operating the unit.
Excessive three phase voltage imbalance between phases
will cause motors to overheat and eventually fail.
The maximum allowable voltage imbalance is 2 percent.
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:
• VD (reading farthest from average) = 221
• The percentage of Imbalance equals:
The 2.2 percent imbalance in this example exceeds the
maximum allowable imbalance of 2.0 percent. This much
imbalance between phases can equal as much as a
20 percent current imbalance with a resulting increase in
motor winding temperatures that will decrease motor life.
If the voltage imbalance is over 2 percent, 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 corrected before starting the unit by using
an instrument such as an Associated Research Model 45
Phase Sequence Indicator and following the steps below:

• Turn the field supplied disconnect switch that provides
power to the main power terminal block or to the
“Line” side of the optional factory mounted disconnect
switch to the “Off” position.
• Connect the phase sequence indicator leads to the
terminal block or to the “Line” side of the optional
factory mounted disconnect switch as follows;
Black (phase A) to L1
Red (phase B) to L2
Yellow (phase C) to L3
• Close the field supplied main power disconnect switch
or circuit protector switch that provides the supply
power to the unit.
• Observe the ABC and CBA phase indicator lights on the
face of the sequencer. The ABC indicator light will glow
if the phase is ABC. If the CBA indicator light glows,
open the disconnect switch or circuit protection switch
and reverse any two power wires.
• Restore 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
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.
