Tracer UC210 Controller Points and Parameters

You can use the Tracer TU service tool to view or adjust points and parameters in the Tracer UC400
controller. It is a software application for monitoring, configuring, balancing, and testing Trane unit
controllers, such as the Tracer UC210 controller.
Refer to the following documents for product information including an introduction to the Tracer
TU service tool, its utilities, screens, concepts, and procedures:
•
•
This section contains information about points and parameters specific to VAV configurations.
They are grouped according to the Tracer TU utility screens.
•
•

Status Utility

The Status Utility is displayed by default when you start a Tracer TU session. This subsection
presents VAV related items you will see on the Unit Summary, Analog, Binary, Multistate, and
Controller Status screens.

Unit Summary Screen

Note: Example based on a UC210 configured for Space Temperature Control.
The Tracer TU service tool will launch and display the status of the Tracer UC210 controller. The Unit
Summary screen arranges relevant status information under the Operating Status, Space,
Ventilation, and Outputs expanding boxes. The following points apply to VAV operations and are
explained here.

Occupancy Status: The Tracer UC210 controller has four (4) valid occupancy modes that display
under the operating status– Occupied mode, Unoccupied mode, Occupied Standby mode, and
Occupied Bypass mode.
Heat /Cool Status: The heat/cool status displays the heating and cooling mode of the Tracer
UC210 controller. This is where the controller displays the heating or cooling mode of the
controller. The controller can receive communicated requests for heating or cooling operation.
Responses are: Heat, Cool, Calibrate, and Test. Test will be displayed in air or water valve is
being overridden.
Actual Air Valve Position: Reports air valve position
Air Valve Position Control: The Tracer UC210 controller displays either pressure dependent or
pressure independent status if it has a valid flow input to the controller from the flow ring and
pressure transducer. The controller can operate with or without a valid flow value; the airflow
is hard wired only. It operates under pressure dependent control or pressure independent
control.
– Pressure dependent control: When a valid flow value is not present, the controller operates
under pressure dependent control (position control). Pressure dependent control
substitutes the air valve position for the flow measurement for all control actions.
– Pressure independent control: When a valid flow value is present, the controller operates
under pressure independent control. If after an airflow sensor failure, the airflow returns to
the valid range (airflow value greater than 10% of configured nominal airflow), the controller
automatically resumes pressure independent control.
Discharge Airflow: Displays the current discharge airflow when in pressure independent
operation.
