Ventilation Control Module (VCM - Design special option
only)
The Ventilation Control Module (VCM) is located in the filter
section of the unit and is linked to the unit's UCM network.
Using a "velocity pressure" sensing ring located in the fresh
air section, allows the VCM to monitor and control the quan-
tity of fresh air entering the unit to a minimum airflow set-
point.
An optional temperature sensor can be connected to the
VCM which enables it to control a field installed fresh air
preheater.
An optional CO sensor can be connected to the VCM to
2
control CO reset. The reset function adjust the minimum
2
CFM upward as the CO concentrations increase. The
2
maximum effective (reset) setpoint value for fresh air enter-
ing the unit is limited to the systems operating CFM. The
following table lists the Minimum Outside Air CFM vs Input
Voltage.

Generic Building Automation System Module
(GBAS - Optional 1U51 used with non-Trane building
control systems)
The Generic Building Automation System (GBAS) module
allows a non-Trane building control system to communicate
with the rooftop unit and accepts external setpoints in form
of analog inputs for cooling, heating, supply air pressure,
and a binary Input for demand limit. Refer to the "Field In-
stalled Control Wiring" section for the input wiring to the
GBAS module and the various desired setpoints with the
corresponding DC voltage inputs for both VAV and CV ap-
plications.

Input Devices & System Functions
The descriptions of the following basic Input Devices used
within the UCM network are to acquaint the operator with
their function as they interface with the various modules.
Refer to the unit's electrical schematic for the specific mod-
ule connections.
Constant Volume & Variable Air Volume Units
Supply Air Temperature Sensor (3RT9)
Is an analog input device used with CV & VAV applications.
It monitors the supply air temperature for; supply air tem-
perature control (VAV), supply air temperature reset (VAV),
supply air temperature low limiting (CV), supply air temper-
ing (CV/VAV). It is mounted in the supply air discharge sec-
tion of the unit and is connected to the RTM (1U48).
Return Air Temperature Sensor (3RT6)
Is an analog input device used with a return humidity sen-
sor on CV & VAV applications when the comparative en-
thalpy option is ordered. It monitors the return air tempera-
ture and compares it to the outdoor temperature to estab-
lish which temperature is best suited to maintain the cooling
requirements. It is mounted in the return air section and is
connected to the ECEM (1U52).
Evaporator Temperature Sensor (3RT14 and 3RT15)
Is an analog input device used with CV & VAV applications.
It monitors the refrigerant temperature inside the evaporator
coil to prevent coil freezing. It is attached to the suction line
near the evaporator coil and is connected to the SCM/MCM
(1U49). It is factory set for 30 F and has an adjustable
range of 25 F to 35 F. The compressors are staged "Off" as
necessary to prevent icing. After the last compressor stage
has been turned "Off", the compressors will be allowed to
restart once the evaporator temperature rises 10 F above
the "coil frost cutout temperature" and the minimum three
minute "Off" time has elapsed.
Filter Switch (3S21)
Is a binary input device used on CV & VAV applications. It
measures the pressure differential across the unit filters. It
is mounted in the filter section and is connected to the RTM
(1U48). A diagnostic SERVICE signal is sent to the remote
panel if the pressure differential across the filters is at least
0.5" w.c.. The contacts will automatically open when the
pressure differential across the filters decrease to 0.4" w.c..
The switch differential can be field adjusted between 0.17"
w.c. to 5.0" w.c. ± 0.05" w.c..
Supply and Exhaust Airflow Proving Switches (3S68
and 3S69)
3S68 is a binary input device used on CV & VAV applica-
tions to signal the RTM when the supply fan is operating. It
is located in the supply fan section of the unit and is con-
nected to the RTM (1U48). During a request for fan opera-
tion, if the differential switch is detected to be open for 40
consecutive seconds; compressor operation is turned "Off",
heat operation is turned "Off", the request for supply fan op-
eration is turned "Off" and locked out, IGV's (if equipped)
are "closed", exhaust dampers (if equipped) are "closed",
economizer dampers (if equipped) are "closed", and a
manual reset diagnostic is initiated.
