Sequence of Operation—”Occupied”
Emergency Stop. 
When the contacts at Terminal 
OAUTS 9 and 10 are open, the unit’s operation will be in 
Alarm Status. The Alarm must be reset from either the BAS 
or the optional on-board unit display.
Alarms must be reset from the optional on-board unit 
display or remote BAS to restart the control sequence. If 
optional display is not installed; Tracer TU must be used to 
diagnose and clear alarm. If Tracer TU is not available, 
cycle main power to unit to clear alarm.
Important:
Cycling power to unit to clear alarm may not 
resolve alarm condition.
Starting Sequence
When 3-phase is powered to unit the main unit controller 
and the RTRM will initialize. Initialization process requires 
approximately 3 minutes.
The unit is placed in occupied operation via either the BAS 
or by closing connection between unit terminals OAUTS 7 
and 8. The unit must not be in lockout.
Starting Sequence with No Return Air Damper 
Installed
The outdoor air damper will be commanded to open. The 
damper end switch will make causing the main unit 
controller to initialize the indoor fan starting sequence by 
sending a preset run signal (field adjustable between 
50 percent and 100 percent) to the indoor fan VFD. If after 
30 seconds the indoor fan proving switch does not prove 
the indoor fan on, the main unit controller will command 
the indoor fan off and signal an alarm.Starting Sequence 
with Optional Return Air Damper Installed
Identical to sequence with no return air damper except the 
outdoor air and return air dampers will be commanded to 
move to their preset occupied positions. Outdoor air 
damper end switch is disabled when the return air damper 
is installed.
Operating Modes
A. Economizer (Ventilation)
B. Heating
C. Dehumidification
D. Cooling
All modes are enabled by the main unit control module. 
The control module calculates dewpoint based on sensed 
outdoor air temperature and humidity.
A. Economizer Mode. 
Operation in economizer mode 
is enabled when the outdoor air temperature is between 
the Outdoor Air Cooling Setpoint and the Outdoor Air 
Heating setpoint and no call for dehumidification exists. 
Operation in economizer mode continues until outdoor air 
conditions call for either dehumidification, cooling or 
heating mode.
B. Heating Mode. 
Heating mode is enabled on outdoor 
air heating setpoint. The main unit controller will 
modulate the heating capacity to maintain the discharge 
air heating setpoint. Hot gas reheat is disabled when 
heating is enabled. Heating will be disabled at outdoor air 
heating setpoint + 2°.
C. Dehumidification Mode. 
Dehumidification mode is 
enabled on outdoor air dewpoint enable setpoint if no call 
for heating is enabled. The unit’s controller will activate the 
dehumidification mode when outdoor air dewpoint is 
higher than or equal to outdoor air dewpoint setpoint. 
Compressor control is based on evaporator leaving air 
temperature setpoint. With dehumidification enabled, if 
evaporator leaving air temperature is above setpoint first 
stage dehumidification (Compressor 1) will start. If after a 
3-minute minimum delay the evaporator leaving air 
temperature is still above the evaporator leaving air 
temperature setpoint, the second, third, and fourth stages 
of dehumidification (Compressor 2, 3, and 4) will be 
staged on sequentially following individual 3-minute 
minimum delays between each call. Dehumidification 
mode will be disabled at outdoor air dewpoint setpoint 
 
- 2°.
During operation in dehumidification mode, the main unit 
controller will enable hot gas reheat. Hot gas reheat will 
modulate to maintain the discharge air cooling setpoint.
C. Cooling Mode. 
Cooling mode is enabled on outdoor 
air cooling setpoint if no call for heating or 
dehumidification is present. Compressor staging is 
identical to dehumidification; however, control 
temperature is discharge air cooling setpoint. Cooling will 
be disabled at outdoor air cooling setpoint - 2°.
During operation in cooling mode hot gas reheat is 
enabled. Hot gas reheat is controlled to maintain discharge 
air cooling setpoint.
Optional Features
Digital Compressors
Main unit controller will modulate digital compressor to 
maintain either evaporator leaving or discharge air 
temperature setpoints depending on mode of operation. 
Remaining compressors will be staged as described in 
mode.
ERV and Powered Exhaust
ERV and powered exhaust are interlocked with indoor fan 
operation in occupied heating, dehumidification or 
cooling modes. Outdoor air sensors sending temperature 
and Rh signals to the main unit controller to make mode
