Mounting the enclosure
This chapter describes location requirements and shows how to mount
the Tracer MP581 enclosure.

Selecting a mounting location

Make sure that the location meets the operating environment require-
ments and clearance requirements described in the following sections.
The Tracer MP581 controller must be installed indoors. Trane recom-
mends locating the Tracer MP581 controller:
Near the controlled equipment to reduce wiring costs
•
Where service personnel have easy access
•
Where it is easy to see and interact with the operator display
•
Where public access is restricted to minimize the possibility of
•
tampering or vandalism
CAUTION
Equipment damage!
Install the Tracer MP581 in a location that is out of direct sunlight. Fail-
ure to do so may cause the Tracer MP581 to overheat.

Operating environment requirements

Make sure that the operating environment conforms to the specifications
listed in Table 2.
