Pre-Installation

This section provides the following pre-installation information:

  • Location considerations
  • Height requirements
  • Mounting surfaces
  • Maximum wire length

Location Considerations

When selecting a location, avoid the following:

  • Areas of direct sunlight
  • Areas in the direct airstream of air diffusers
  • Exterior walls and other walls that have a temperature differential between the two sides
  • Areas that are close to heat sources such as sunlight, appliances, concealed pipes, chimneys, or other heat-generating equipment
  • Drafty areas
  • Dead spots behind doors, projection screens, or corners
  • Walls that are subject to high-vibration
  • Areas with high humidity
  • High-traffic areas (to reduce accidental damage or tampering)

Maximum Wire Lengths

Thermostat to HVAC Equipment

  • The thermostat may not function properly if the total resistance of any of the thermostats to HVAC equipment wires exceeds 2.5 ohms. To ensure that wire length does not cause excess resistance, refer to Table 1 and ensure that the wires from the thermostat to the HVAC equipment are not too long.
  • Table 1. MaximumThermostat to HVAC Equipment Wire Lengths
    Copper wire sizeMaximum recommended wire length
    22 AWG (0.33 mm2)150 ft (46 m)
    20 AWG (0.50 mm2)240 ft (73 m)
    18 AWG (0.75 mm2)385 ft (117 m)
  • Remote Sensor to ProgrammableThermostat
  • Because remote temperature sensors measure resistance, very long cable runs can cause slight errors in the measurement. For the highest temperature reading accuracy, avoid exceeding the maximum recommended wire lengths shown in Table 2.
  • Table 2. Maximum Recommended Remote Sensor Wire Length
     

    Copper wire size

    Maximum recommended remote sensor wire length
    22 AWG (0.33 mm2)1000 ft (300 m)
    20 AWG (0.50 mm2)1500 ft (450 m)
    18 AWG (0.75 mm2)2500 ft (750 m)
    • Note: For 22 AWG (0.33 mm2) copper wires, the rate of error can be up to 0.5 °F (0.3 °C) per 100 OHM, which typically requires wire lengths in excess of 5000 ft (1500 m)

Installation

This section provides installation instructions. Before you begin, read through the pre-installation information, beginning on p. 9, and also verify the following conditions are met:

  • A wire access hole is available at the thermostat location.
  • The wires are accessible through the hole.
  • The wires are attached to the appropriate terminals on the HVAC equipment.
  • There is continuity (and not more than 2.5 ohms resistance) between the thermostat location and the HVAC equipment.
  • The wires are accurately labeled or identified by color

General Practice

To wire the thermostat:

  1. Connect the wires to the terminal block(s) packaged in the box with the thermostat. (The programmable thermostat has two terminal blocks, the non-programmable thermostats have only one):
    • Remove approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) of insulation from the wires.
    • Use the terminal block screws to securely fasten each wire into the terminal block.
    • Refer to the section, “Terminal Identification,” p. 13, and the wiring diagrams on the pages that follow to determine the correct terminal for each wire.
    • Note: In some case,s the terminal labels (Y, G, R, etc.) correctly correspond to the first letter of the color wire to which they are connected. However, you must verify which equipment terminals are connected at the other ends of the wires before connecting the wires to the thermostat.
  2. Align the pins on the circuit board with the holes on the bottom of the terminal blocks and gently push the wired terminal blocks into place on the circuit board. See Figure 5.

Operation

  • This section provides general descriptive and procedural information intended for typical daily operators of the thermostat.
  • Icon Descriptions
  • Figure 36 describes the icons visible on the front of the thermostat.
    • Note: Except when the thermostat is powering up, when all of the icons are shown for 2 sec, only some of the icons will be visible at once.
  • Figure 36. Thermostat IconsTrane BAS-SVX36C Standard and Programmable Thermostats Installation Manual-4

Operational and Programming Reference Information

  • This section provides additional information that may be useful for understanding thermostat operation or programming.

Deadband

  • The thermostat automatically maintains a temperature deadband between the heating setpoint and the cooling setpoint whenever automatic changeover (heat-to-cool or cool-to-heat mode) is enabled. The temperature range of the deadband is 2–9 °F (1.0–4.5°C) and is specified in the installation configuration options (see “Configuration,” p. 26). If you attempt to change a temperature setpoint to within the deadband of its opposing setpoint, the opposing setpoint will automatically be pushed to the next value that satisfies the deadband. (See Figure 38.)
  • Heat and Cool Cycling Rate
  • The heat and cool cycling rate, expressed in cycles per hour (CPH) indicates how often the heating or cooling system is turned on when the temperature is within the temperature differential from the setpoint, which is 1°F (0.5°C). There are ten options (1–10) for heat stages and five options (1–5) for cool stages. The number selected is the maximum number of times the stage is cycled in 1 hr. For example, when the system is set to 5 CPH, it runs at 12 min cycles with variable duty cycles.
  • Depending on the heating or cooling load, which is measured by feedback from the sensor thermistor and/or temperature error, the system could run at 50% duty cycle (6 min ON and 6 min OFF), 80% duty cycle (9.6 min ON and 2.4 min OFF), or other variations of the duty cycle.
  • Note: The cycling rate described above is only active when the temperature is within the temperature differential. If the temperature is outside of the temperature, the heating and cooling equipment will either be fully on or fully off accordingly. (See Figure 38.)
  • Figure 38. General Heat and Cool Cycling Rate DiagramTrane BAS-SVX36C Standard and Programmable Thermostats Installation Manual-9

Error Codes

CodeDescription
E0Thermistor Error; occurs when the configured thermistor reading is out of range (less than 14°F (-9.9°C) or greater than 122°F (50°C). If this error occurs:

•  All Heat/Cool outputs turn off.

•  If the fan mode is Auto, the thermostat turns off the fan.

•  If the fan mode is On, the thermostat leaves the fan on.

E3Permanent data error. Access error or checksum error is detected.
E4Input voltage out of range – too low or too high. Input voltage is lower than 18Vac or higher than 34Vac. The error code display will remain on for 30 sec after the detection of out-of-range input voltage.
E5RTC Error (this error can only appear on the programmable thermostat).
E7Memory error (write and read 0x55 and 0xAA failed). Only checked during the power-up test.

Troubleshooting Table

ProblemSolution
Error code E0 – Thermistor error.•  For non-programmable thermostats and programmable thermostats set to use internal temperature sensor (configuration options #210 set to 0, 1, or 2):

The thermistor is defective or the local temperature is out of range. Replace or repair the thermostat through a qualified Trane supplier.

•  For programmable thermostats with configuration option #210 set to 3:

Check the sensor terminals S1 and S2 for secure connection. If wires are securely connected, try replacing the sensor.

Error code E4 – Input voltage out of range•  Check the input voltage to the thermostat. It must be within the range of 18Vac to 32 Vac rms.
Error codes E3, E5, or E7•  Cycle the power to the thermostat.

•  If it does not recover to normal operation, have it serviced or replaced by a qualified Trane supplier.

Blank display•  Check the power supply.

•  If the power supply is ok, have the thermostat serviced or replaced by a qualified Trane supplier.

Erratic display appearance or contrast•  Check the power supply.

•  Check the frequency configuration (Configuration option #210 for the programmable thermostat or #11 for non-programmable thermostats) to make sure that you are using the correct frequency setting for your power supply.

•  If the power supply and frequency setting are ok, have the thermostat serviced or replaced by a qualified Trane supplier.

Buttons do not respond•  Make sure the thermostat modes are not locked. See “Locking or Unlocking Modes,” p. 40.

•  Cycle the power to the thermostat.

•  If the modes are not locked and cycling the power do not solve the problem, have the thermostat serviced or replaced by a qualified Trane supplier.

“–F” or “–C” flashes•  Temperature is outside of the measurable range. The temperature reading should be correct when the temperature is within the measurable range.
Fan settings are not visible•  Check the system status. If the status is Off, the fan settings will not appear.

•  Check the configuration options to verify that the fan is enabled: For programmable thermostats, check options 0130 and 0151; For non-programmable thermostats, check options 01 and 03.
