Easy to Install, Service and
Maintain
Because today’s owners are very cost-
conscious 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 the
“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.
