Description The Tracer ® ZN. unit controller is a microprocessor-based direct digital controller that is dedicated to the control and the optimization of chilled water terminal units. The unit controller is designed to provide improved comfort with a minimum energy consumption through the use of custom proportional integral derivative (PID) control algorithms as well as intelligent fan speed and...
Features The ZN. unit controller may be • Unoccupied (or Antifreeze): Normal applied as part of a Trane Tracer operating mode for unoccupied Summit™ system, as a stand-alone spaces or nighttime operation. device, or as an interoperable Unoccupied cooling and heating controller.
Features Table 1 describes the combination of communication requests, the hardwire input and the 'ON' (occupied)/'CANCEL' (unoccupied) push buttons on the zone sensor upon the occupancy state of the control. Table 1 Description Communicated Binary On/Cancel Effective occupancy request input pushbuttons mode Stand alone...

• For controllers that receive a when it reaches zero, can initiate an communicated occupancy request (typically from a building alarm notification to Trane Tracer Summit™ system. The filter automation system such as Tracer maintenance status is based on Summit™): Refer to Table 1 to see the effect of cumulative fan run hours.
The ZN is used with the unit (not supplied by controllers are linked directly via a Trane), it is possible to connect the twisted shielded pair cable to the condensate overflow switch to the Tracer Summit™ building control controller through this binary input.

National • Use a daisy chain configuration. Electrical Manufacturers Association See Figure 4. Trane strongly (NEMA) differs from the Category 4 recommends using a daisy chain specification proposed by the topology. Other topologies (branch, Electronic Industries Association / star…) are much less reliable.

Features Data lists Tables 3 and 4 provide the input/output listing and the configuration properties for the unit controller. The content of the lists conforms to both the LonMark ® Space Comfort Controller Functional Profile 85.00 and the LonMark ® node object.
Features Modulating valve package The control valve is modulating depending on the 24V triac signal from the controller, which determines the valve position by a control algorithm. If the valve loses power, the valve returns to the close position. Valve packages are factory- mounted and leak-tested at 13 bar.

However, based on the current step in the test sequence, the unit fan may not be on. Fan mode off When a local fan mode switch (provided on the Trane zone sensor) determines the fan operation, the off position controls the unit off. Requested mode off You can communicate a desired operating mode (such as off, heat, and cool) to the controller.

Troubleshooting Table 10 - Valves stay open Probable cause Explanation Unit wiring The wiring between the controller outputs and the valve(s) must be present and correct for normal valve operation. Unit configuration The controller must be properly configured based on the actual installed end devices and application.
