M-TRAC1 M-TRAC1 The M-TRAC1 has been certified by Intertek (ETL) for use with Engineered Air appliances only. It has been evaluated to CSA C22.2 No. 24 Temperature-Indicating and Regulating Equipment and UL 873 UL Standard for Safety Temperature-Indicating and Regulating Equipment. This is a User Operation Manual and therefore not subject to evaluation.
INTRODUCTION The M-TRAC1 is a discharge air temperature controller of large (BTUH) single volume direct- fired Engineered Air equipment, using 120 Vac safety shut off valves, and operating a modulating ball valve actuator. The information used in this manual should be used in conjunction with the unit function sheet(s) and the HE series Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manual.
M-TRAC1 CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION TERMINALS TABLE 1 Terminal Description 0-10 Vdc output to ball valve actuator Input terminal for single discharge sensor Input terminal for two discharge sensors wired in series Sensor common Output from the built in set point POT. Positive supply for a remote set point POT.
M-TRAC1 DIP SWITCHES The M-TRAC1 options are configured by DIP switch selection and/or wiring connections. DIP switch settings are noted on the internal wiring diagram, and should not be altered. TABLE 2 DIP SW Description Disable Auto Heat Switch. If enabled the M-TRAC1 will monitor the discharge air temperature and disable the heat if the temperature is constantly greater than the Setpoint (>...
M-TRAC1 ADJUSTMENT POTS There are a number of setting and calibration potentiometers (POT’s) located on the face of the M-TRAC1. Modifications to these should only be performed by experienced and qualified personnel. TABLE 4 Description SP LMT Limits the maximum discharge temperature set point. CAL DTEMP Discharge air sensor temperature calibration.
M-TRAC1 DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE (DTEMP) The DTEMP measurement point is located on the top left corner of the M-TRAC. The voltage reading relates to the actual temperature of the discharge sensor. Table 5 Voltage (Vdc) ˚C ˚F NOTE: Sensor accuracy is diminished at temperatures greater than those noted in this table. PROFILE PLATE VELOCITY The profile plate has been factory set for the airflow shown in the submittal record.
M-TRAC1 (reason for the lockout) will be lost. When power is resumed the M-TRAC1 will remain locked out, but only green LED flashing irregularly. CONTROL SYSTEM TIMING Damper opening delay: Depends on type of damper actuator used. Blower startup: 54 seconds after terminal FS is energized. Low Limit bypass: 4.5 minutes from initial startup, 50 seconds nuisance timer.
M-TRAC1 DAMPER CONTROL The inlet damper actuator(s) is enabled through output terminal DM. The M-TRAC1 allows time for the dampers to open prior to starting the supply blower. BLOWER CONTROL The M-TRAC1 uses output terminal SA to control the supply air fan. There are, however, a number of internal and/or external components that may be required to be functional prior to starting the blower.
M-TRAC1 PROFILE PLATE VELOCITY SENSING SYSTEM The M-TRAC1 has a built in profile pressure sensor to prove and monitor air flow across the burner. This allows the burner to operate safely and efficiently by proving the airflow is within proper air velocity limits. The profile pressure sensor has three non-adjustable air settings: 40, 60 and 120% of normal airflow.
M-TRAC1 OPERATION EXHAUST FAN INTERLOCKING There are a number of different exhaust interlocking options available. Always refer to the wiring diagram and unit function sheet to determine the exact type of interlocking used. The AL output contact may be switched from an alarm output to a exhaust fan enable output contact for control of reverse interlock control systems (DIP sw #2).
M-TRAC1 SETPOINT (SPC) Check the wiring diagram to determine if the M-TRAC1 is using the face mounted setpoint dial or an optional remote mounted setpoint dial. The most commonly used remote control panel includes fan and heat on/off switches and a setpoint dial. A jumper will be installed across terminals S and SP if the M-TRAC1 is using its built in setpoint dial.
M-TRAC1 PROFILE VELOCITY Profile velocity test point readings outside the 4.0 -7.0 Vdc range generally indicate improper airflow through the heater, not a problem with the M-TRAC1. Before attempting to adjust the profile velocity ensure the heater is operating at the required nameplate air volume. The Profile Velocity POT is typically set to the ‘12’...
M-TRAC1 to malfunction due to reverse leakage current when ‘open’. BMS SENSOR LOCATION The Engineered Air sensor must be calibrated to match its operation with the Engineered Air control. Do not calibrate it to match BMS readout if one exists.
M-TRAC1 M-TRAC1 LOCK OUT DESCRIPTION Table 8 LED Code Reasons Faulty flame relay or wiring error. Ignition control and safety shut off valve should be off (FR and CFR contact ‘open’, but receiving power to VFB120 B Irregular indicating valve is still on. Faulty flame relay or wiring error.
M-TRAC1 FAN OPERATION FLOWCHART - Main supply power ‘ON’. - Service switch ‘ON’. - Fire alarm contact ‘CLOSED’. - Any additional contacts to terminal H ‘CLOSED’. - 24Vac across terminals H and N. Replace fuse. Light C blinks Check M-TRAC fuse. several times Fuse okay? very fast.
M-TRAC1 HEAT OPERATION FLOWCHART - Close heat switch and/or any other contacts or interlocks to power terminal HS (24Vac). - If system is reverse interlock the AL output will have closed when the supply fan successfully started, and enabled the exhaust fan. - Light D slow blink should now be Off.
