Only qualified personnel should install and service the equipment. The installation, starting up, and
servicing of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning equipment can be hazardous and requires specific
knowledge and training. Improperly installed, adjusted or altered equipment by an unqualified person could
result in death or serious injury. When working on the equipment, observe all precautions in the literature
and on the tags, stickers, and labels that are attached to the equipment.

    Signal quality is more greatly affected by walls, barriers, and general clutter. Note that sheetrock walls and ceiling tiles offer little restriction to the propagation of the radio signal throughout the building as opposed to concrete or metal barriers. More details information, including wiring schematics, are available at http://www.trane.com. Device Firmware Requirements The following table lists the minimum firmware levels required to allow devices to participate in a wireless network.

  • Page 9: Location Considerations

    Location Considerations To provide the best signal strength between associated wireless devices and to reduce the number of WCIs needed for an application, mount WCIs in direct, unobstructed, line-of-sight paths. Locate WCIs so that the number of metal and concrete barriers between pairs of devices is minimal. In general, sheetrock walls and ceiling tiles are not of concern.

  • Page 11: Wci Addressing

    WCI Addressing This section describes the WCI addressing scheme and procedure. WCIs can be ordered either pre- addressed or without addresses. Verify pre-addressed WCI prior to installation. Setting Network Communication Addressing Important: Addresses must be set on WCIs before applying power to them. Follow this procedure to set the WCI address for network communication.

  • Page 20: Three Ways To Establish A Wireless Network

    Establishing the Network Three Ways to Establish a Wireless Network A wireless network can established: • After aTracer SC has been installed. • Prior toTracer SC installation. • On a network that will not have aTracer SC installed on it. Establishing the Network After Tracer SC Installation If aTracer SC is installed prior to establishing the wireless network, the WCI that is installed on a Tracer SC automatically becomes the network coordinator after power is applied to theTracer SC.
  • Page 21 Establishing the Network 3. Observe the yellow OPEN_NET LED illuminate on the coordinator WCI.This LED remains lit for 1 hour, indicating that the network is open to allow WCIs with matching addresses to join the network for that duration. After each WCI joins, the 1 hour timer starts over. Notes: If the network closes because the timer has expired, you can open the network for an additional hour by pressing the OPEN_NET button on the network coordinator WCI.To extend time on a network that has not yet closed, press the OPEN_NET button on the...

    Modifying the Network This section describes how to modify an established wireless network. Most modifications can be made by using either theTracerTU service tool or the WCI. To useTracerTU, you must establish communication with a wireless network and attach to a wireless device.

  • Page 24: Removing A Wci From A Network

    Modifying the Network Removing a WCI from a Network If a coordinator WCI fails, the network ceases to exist. If the other WCIs that were members of the disbanded network find an open network within radio range, they will try to join that network.To prevent that from occurring, you can remove WCIs from the network until the coordinator WCI is replaced.

    Troubleshooting No communication Possible cause Explanation/Resolution If power loss causes communication to be lost, the coordinator WCI will re-initiate the Power loss network as soon as power is returned. If an obstruction causes communication to be lost, the coordinator WCI will re-initiate Signal obstruction the network as soon as communication is regained.
