Easy to Install, Service and Maintain
Because today’s owners are very costconscious when it comes to service and maintenance, the Trane Precedent was designed with direct input from service contractors. This valuable information helped to design a product that would get the serviceman off the job quicker and save the owner money. Precedent does this by offering:
Quality and Reliability
ReliaTel™ Controls (LCI-R) ReliaTel controls provide unit control for heating, cooling and ventilating utilizing input from sensors that measure outdoor and indoor temperature. Quality and Reliability are enhanced through ReliaTel control and logic:
—prevents the unit from short cycling, considerably improving compressor life.
—ensures that the compressor will run for a specific amount of time which allows oil to return for better lubrication, enhancing the reliability of the compressor.Precedent with ReliaTel reduces the number of components required to operate the unit, thereby reducing possibilities for component failure.
ReliaTel Makes Installing and Servicing Easy
ReliaTel eliminates the need for field installed anti-shortcycle timer and time delay relays. ReliaTel controls provide these functions as an integral part of the unit. The contractor no longer has to purchase these controls as options and pay to install them. The wiring of the low voltage connections to the unit and the zone sensors is as easy as 1-1, 2-2, and 3-3. This simplified system makes wiring easier for the installer.
ReliaTel Makes Testing Easy
ReliaTel requires no special tools to run the Precedent unit through its paces. Simply place a jumper between Test 1 and Test 2 terminals on the Low Voltage Terminal Board and the unit will walk through its operational steps automatically.
— The unit automatically returns control to the zone sensor after stepping through the test mode a single time, even if the jumper is left on the unit
As long as the unit has power and th “system on” LED is lit, ReliaTel is operational. The light indicates that the controls are functioning properly.
ReliaTel features expanded diagnostic capabilities when utilized with Trane Integrated Comfort™ Systems .Some zone sensor options have central control panel lights which indicate the mode the unit is in and possible diagnostic information (dirty filters for example).
Other ReliaTel Benefits
The ReliaTel built-in anti-shortcycle timer, time delay relay and minimum “on” time control functions are factory tested to assure proper operation.
ReliaTel softens electrical “spikes” by staging on fans, compressors and heaters.
Intelligent Fallback is a benefit to the building occupant. If a component goes astray, the unit will continue to operate at predetermined temperature setpoint.
Intelligent Anticipation is a standard ReliaTel feature. It functions continuously as ReliaTel and zone sensor(s) work together in harmony to provide much tighter comfort control than conventional electro-mechanical thermostats.
The same ReliaTel Board fits all Precedent Packaged Gas/Electrics, Cooling with Electric Heat, and Heat Pump models. This provides standardization of parts for contractors. Less money is tied up in inventory with ReliaTel.
Electromechanical Controls
For the simpler job that does not require a building automation system, or expanded diagnostics capabilities, Precedent offers electromechnical controls. This 24-volt control includes the control transformer and contactor pressure lugs for power wiring.
Outstanding Standard and Optional Components
Black Epoxy Pre-Coated Coils The pre-coated coils are an economical option for protection in mildly corrosive environments.
Cabinet Integrity
For added water integrity, Precedent has a raised 11 / 8, " lip around the supply and return of the downflow units to prevent water from blowing into the ductwork.
Clogged Filter/Fan Failure Switch
A dedicated differential pressure switch is available to achieve active fan failure indication and/or clogged filter indication. These sensors allow a zone sensor service light or Integrated Comfort System to indicate a dirty filter or a fan that’s not working. The field installation charges for these valuable feedback devices often eliminate them from consideration. Factory installation can make such features a good investment.
CO2 Sensing
The CO2 sensor has the ability to monitor space occupancy levels within the building by measuring the parts per million of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) in the air. As the CO2 levels increase, the outside air damper modulates to meet the CO2 space ventilation requirements. The CO2 sensor kit is available as a field installed accessory.
Colored And Numbered Wiring Save time and money tracing wires and diagnosing the unit.
Compressors
Precedent contains the best compressor technology available to achieve the highest possible performance. Our compressor line includes Trane built ClimaTuff® reciprocating and scrolls.
Condenser Coil
Precedent boasts a patent-pending 1+1+1 condenser coil, permanently gapped for easy cleaning.
Dehumidification (Hot Gas Reheat) Option
This option allows for increased outdoor air ventilation. It reduces humidity levels while increasing comfort level in the air space. Cooling can operate without a demand for dehumidification. The hot gas reheat coil is designed to deliver maximum reheat temperatures and pivot to allow for easy access cleaning.
Digital Display Zone Sensor
The Digital LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) zone sensor has the look and functionality of standard zone sensors. This sensor should be utilized with ReliaTel™ controls.
Discharge Air Sensing Kit
Provides true discharge air sensing in heating models. The kit is functional only with the ReliaTel Options Module.
Downflow And Horizontal Economizers The economizers come with three control options — dry bulb is standard, enthalpy and differential enthalpy are optional.
Dual Thermistor Remote Zone Sensor This sensor will reduce the total number of remote sensors to obtain space temperature averaging. This sensor should be utilized with ReliaTel controls.
Foil-Faced Insulation
All panels in the evaporator section of the unit have cleanable foil-faced insulation. All edges are either captured or sealed to ensure no fibers get into the airstream.
Factory Built Roof Curbs Available for downflow units. Only two roof curbs for the entire Precedent line simplifies curb selection.
Flexibility
Units are built to order in our standard “shortest in the industry” ship cycle time.
Fresh Air
0 - 25% manual or 0 - 50% motorized outside air hoods are available.
High Pressure Cutout
This factory-installed option is offered for units that do not have High Pressure Cutout as standard. All 3-phase units with scroll compressors include High Pressure cutout as standard.
High Static Drive Accessory
Available on many models, this high static drive accessory extends the capability of the standard motor. Avoid expensive motors and operating costs by installing this optimized sheave accessory.
Hinged Access Doors
These doors permit easy access to the filter, fan/heat, and compressor/ control sections. They reduce the potential roof damage from screws or sharp access door corners.
LonTalk® Communications Interface
The LonTalk communications interface allows the unit to communicate as a Tracer™LCI-V device or directly with generic LonTalk Network Building Automation System Controls.
Phase Monitor
Phase monitor shall provide 100% protection for motors and compressors against problems caused by phase loss, phase imbalance, and phase reversal. Phase monitor is equipped with an LED that provides an ON or FAULT indicator.
Power Exhaust Option This option is available on downflow units and provides exhaust of the return air, when using a downflow economizer, to maintain proper building pressurization. Great for relieving most building overpressurization problems.
Progressive Tubular Heat ExchangerThe compact cabinet features a tubular heat exchanger in low, medium and high heat capacities. The heat exchanger is fabricated using stainless steel burners and corrosionresistant aluminized steel tubes as standard on all models. It has an induced draft blower to pull the gas mixture through the burner tubes. The heater has a direct spark ignition system which doubles as a safety device to prove the flame. Gas electric Precedent models exceed all California seasonal efficiency requirements. They also perform better than required to meet the California NOx emission requirements.
Quick-Access Panels
Remove two screws for access to the standardized internal components and wiring. Quick-Adjust Idler Arm With the Quick-Adjust Idler Arm, the belt and sheaves can be quickly adjusted without moving the mounted fan motor. The result is a major savings in time and money.
Reference or Comparative Enthalpy
Measures and communicates humidity while maximizing comfort control.
Sloped Drain Pans Every Precedent unit has a noncorrosive, removable, double-sloped drain pan that’s easy to clean and reversible to allo w installation of drain trap on either side of the unit.
Standardized Components
Components are placed in the same location on all Precedent units. Familiarize yourself with one Precedent and you are familiar with every Precedent. Due to standardized components throughout the Precedent line, contractors/owners can stock fewer parts.
Supply and/or Return Air Smoke Detector
With this option installed, if smoke is detected, all unit operation will be shut down. Reset will be manual at the unit. Return Air Smoke Detectors require minimum allowable airflow when used with certain models.
Thermal Expansion Valve Available for a wider range of applications.

Tool-less, hail protection quality coil guards shall be either factory or fieldinstalled for condenser coil protection. This option protects the condenser coil from vandalism and/or hail damage.
Unit Cabinet
The compact cabinet with rounded corners takes up less room and is less costly to ship. The beveled and ribbed top is not only aesthetically pleasing, it is designed to prevent water from pooling.
VariTrac
When Trane’s changeover VAV System for light commercial applications is coupled with Precedent, it provides the latest in technological advances for comfort management systems and can allow thermostat control in every zone served by VariTrac.
Ventilation Override Accessory
With the Ventilation Override Accessory installed, the unit can be set to transition to up to 3 different pre-programmed sequences for Smoke Purge, Pressurization, and Exhaust. The transition occurs when a binary input on the RTOM is closed (shorted). This would typically be a hard wired relay output from a smoke detector or fire control panel. The ventilation override kit is available as a field installed accessory.
Zone Sensors
Available in programmable, automatic and manual styles. Precedent offers ultimate flexibility. Units are built to order in our standard “shortest in the industry” ship cycle time.
Rigorous Testing
All of Precedent’s designs were rigorously rain tested at the factory to ensure water integrity.
Actual shipping tests were performed to determine packaging requirements. Units were test shipped around the country to determine the best packaging. Factory shake and drop tests were used as part of the package design process to help assure that the unit arrives at the job site in top condition.
Rigging tests include lifting a unit into the air and letting it drop one foot, assuring that the lifting lugs and rails hold up under stress.
We perform a 100% coil leak test at the factory. The evaporator and condenser coils are leak tested at 200 psig and pressure tested to 450 psig.
All parts are inspected at the point of final assembly. Sub-standard parts are identified and rejected immediately.
Every unit receives a 100% unit run test before leaving the production line to make sure it lives up to rigorous Trane requirements.
Easy to Install Convertible Units
–The units ship in a downflow configuration. They can be easily converted to horizontal by simply moving two panels.
– Units come complete with horizontal duct flanges so the contractor doesn’t have to field fabricate them. These duct flanges are a time and cost saver.
Easy Access Low Voltage Terminal Board
Precedent’s Low Voltage Terminal Board is external to the electrical control cabinet. It is extremely easy to locate and attach the thermostat wire and test operation of all unit functions. This is another cost and time saving installation feature.
Low Voltage Connections
The wiring of the low voltage connections to the unit and the zone sensors is as simple as 1-1, 2-2, and 3-3. This simplified system makes it easy for the installer to wire.

The Trane Foundation light-commercial rooftop unit: a solid value that will make your building better for life.
The proven Trane performance you expect—and deserve
You expect a high level of performance from any Trane product, and Trane Foundation rooftop units re no exception. This all-new HVAC solution offers you the confidence that comes from key components that have been tested in the field—simply designed, durable components, including a long-lasting tubular heat exchanger, reliable gas ignition system and proven compressor technology. It all adds up to the perfect combination of new design and verified engineering that’s ready to go to work for you.
The rooftop unit that’s new — designed with help from people like you
Listening to our customers and delivering solutions to meet their needs is what has kept Trane an industry leader for more than a century. Before we began designing the new Foundation rooftop unit, we started by talking to the people whose thoughts, ideas and opinions matter most to us: people who own and use rooftop units. Trane conducted numerous interviews with light-commercial rooftop unit specifiers, owners and users, as well as its Customer Council. Their concerns, suggestions and observations about these products were carefully noted and studied.
That input directly benefits the people who use the Foundation rooftop unit on a daily basis—
the building occupants who experience its comfort and reliability. By listening to our customers,
Trane has made a better product for your customers.
So when you choose a Foundation rooftop unit, know that its form, function and features were
shaped by the people who matter most to us: people like you.
We designed the Trane Foundation from the ground up to be a welcome addition to your rooftop portfolio.
When we conceived the all-new Trane® Foundation™ lightcommercial rooftop unit, we started in the right place: from the beginning, with a fresh look at what a light-commercial rooftop unit can and should be.
Nothing was overlooked. Nothing was taken for granted. Every part of the new Trane Foundation rooftop unit was carefully considered to provide you with a lasting combination of performance, efficiency, reliability and value.
Long-life compressors
Rugged, reliable performance to deliver years of dependable cooling performance.
Tubular heat exchanger
Proven design efficiently maximizes heat transfer; thickgauge construction ensures long service life.
Reliable gas ignition system
Demonstrated performance in many Trane rooftop units currently serving customers, this gas ignition system has a long track record of trouble-free operation.
Foil-faced insulation
Foil-faced insulation edges are captured and sealed, reducing the chance for insulation fibers to enter the airstream and clog filters, which reduces maintenance needs and costs.
All-aluminum microchannel (MCHE) condenser coil
Recessed design protects fins from incidental damage, while increased coil rigidity enhances durability. The coil’s design dramatically reduces the opportunity for leaks, and all-aluminum construction minimizes corrosion. An optional coil coating can further safeguard against corrosion.
Color-coded, numbered wiring
Faster identification of wires helps save time and money when servicing and diagnosing the unit.
Simple control wiring integration
A user-friendly thermostat connection terminal allows for straightforward control wiring, including unit interlock capabilities.
Easy-access service panels (not shown)
Redesigned service panels make accessing the unit’s interior easier and faster to help control maintenance costs.
Discharge line thermostat
Reliability of the refrigeration subsystem is increased with compressor shutdown through the detection of excessive discharge line temperatures in cases of a slow refrigerant leak.
Electrical phase monitor
The unit is prevented from operating in the presence of potentially damaging electrical conditions, including loss of phase, phase reversal and insufficient voltage.
Maximum adaptability
for faster, easier, lessexpensive installations
When designing the new Trane Foundation rooftop unit, we considered everything—including the old rooftop units it will be replacing. That’s why we gave the Foundation rooftop unit a unique dual-footprint design that makes it compatible with multiple roof curbs without adapters or other modifications. We designed the Trane Foundation rooftop unit to easily match up to more buildings’ existing ductwork—and to help you manage your budget and your bottom line.
This footprint configuration matches most existing Trane roof curbs, helping make installations easy. If the old rooftop unit you’re replacing isn’t a Trane … … it’s quick and simple to modify the footprint configuration to match many other roof curb designs, saving the expense of installing an adapter curb.
You want a new rooftop unit.
You don’t want to wait for it.
There’s never a good time for a rooftop HVAC unit to fail. Waiting for its replacement can impact your patience—and, most importantly, your business.
Trane understands that when it comes to rooftop unit replacement, there’s not a moment to spare. This is why we actively manage the manufacturing and inventory of Foundation™ light-commercial rooftop units to ensure models are always ready to ship—often the same day you place an order. That kind of attention to detail isn’t always easy, but neither is waiting for a new rooftop unit.
Modern HVAC efficiency: You’ll notice the difference it can make.
Some rooftop HVAC units can work for a very long time, providing the heating and cooling you need … but at a higher price than you might realize. If your rooftop unit is even five years old, it doesn’t meet today’s standards for energy efficiency. The older that unit is, the more money you’re spending on utility bills to keep it operating.
Trane Foundation rooftop units are certified to meet the most recent energy-efficiency standards established by ASHRAE—your assurance of current design strategies to deliver lower energy consumption and lower utility bills.

Humidity control with
rooftop systems
Air quality, conditioning, recycled energy, humidity solutions
A hot gas reheat system in essence “wrings” moisture from the air, providing occupants a more comfortable environment to learn, work, rehabilitate or play. For the building owner, it means decreased maintenance expense due to damage caused by interior moisture.
Drier buildings simply feel better. Humiditymanaged facilities offer a greater sense of comfort, and a healthier environment. Dehumidification is an on-going process of reducing or removing excess moisture from the air. Controlled humidity improves comfort, reduces moisture-based contaminant growth, and preserves building interiors.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
The air we breathe is an especially important consideration when choosing a mechanical system. Properly conditioned indoor air goes beyond quality—it encompasses the health and safety of facility occupants. Humidity control provides a positive means to increase a building’s IAQ, while decreasing health issues and absenteeism. In addition, humidity control helps to preserve building structures and furnishings by reducing moisture-based contaminants that have the potential to cause damage.
Climate conditioning
While dehumidifying a building does not reduce temperature, it makes the air “feel” warmer. Keeping indoor humidity at acceptable levels:
• Greatly improves comfort
• Decreases occupant complaints
• Increases market values of facilities
The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has developed Standard 62-2001, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality. It addresses indoor moisture and microbial growth by recommending:
Moisture control
One of the key steps to creating an interior environment that offers a comfortable atmosphere for learning, working, rehabilitation and recreational activities is to understand how moisture enters a building. Moisture enters a building in either a liquid or vapor state. Leaky roofs and damp carpets, condensation on cold surfaces, or leaky pipes can all contribute to liquid moisture. In a vapor state, moisture may enter the building through an outside ventilation system, human respiration, cooking, wet cleaning, or infiltration through cracks and other exterior openings.
Moisture removal
Regardless of how moisture enters a building, it has the potential to cause disruption, illness and damage. Removing unwanted moisture will significantly enhance any interior environment.
Relative humidity in habitable spaces preferably should be maintained between 30 percent and 60 percent to minimize the growth of allergenic pathogenic organisms.”
A humidity control solution!
Trane’s hot gas reheat dehumidification system can help facility designers and operators keep their buildings in their “comfort zone.” With a single unit, the system senses and controls both space humidity and temperature independently. The system operates conventionally when there is a demand for cooling without dehumidification, but on those humid days, the hot gas reheat system will remove unwanted moisture from the air. The result: both temperature and humidity are maintained without the wasteful and costly use of new energy.
The hot gas reheat system recycles energy that would otherwise be wasted. Dehumidification allows for and improved indoor air quality.
Trane combines technological innovation with legendary durability and performance to create the lowest cost of ownership. Trane® Precedent rooftop units not only offer the lowest installed cost, they also can reduce utility bills and maintenance requirements to create the lowest total cost of ownership in units that can operate at peak performance for as long as 20 to 30 years.
Trane Precedent ultra-high-efficiency models continue the Trane tradition of leadership in energy efficiency with these innovations:
Trane eFlex variable-speed compressors and fans deliver the performance building occupants need, while also delivering the efficiency building owners want. By precisely matching output to the cooling demands of the space, Trane eFlex compressors and fans operate at their fastest levels when demand is high, and modulate to slower levels when demand is less, for an ultra-high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER, which measures efficiency at peak output) and Integrated Energy Efficiency Ratio (IEER, a measurement of efficiency at variable workloads).
Trane eDrive™ direct-drive fans save energy and operate more quietly than competing units. These highly efficient fans feature a beltless design, which reduces maintenance over the lifetime of the unit and lowers operating costs.
The optional Trane Human Interface Panel represents a breakthrough in unit controls, delivering comprehensive information about system performance on a large, easy-to-read color touchscreen display. Technicians can quickly and easily monitor system operating parameters in real time, and compare current information with past performance to keep your Precedent rooftop unit working optimally.
Even the most highly configured Trane Precedent units are ready in as few as two weeks—the fastest delivery time in the industry.
