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.

BACnet Protocol The Building Automation and Control Network (BACnet®) protocol is ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135. This standard allows building automation systems or components from different manufacturers to share information and control functions. BACnet® provides building owners the capability to connect various types of building control systems or subsystems together for many uses.

Water, Discharge, and Outdoor Air Temperature Sensors Temperature sensors must be Trane 10 kΩ (at 25°C) thermistors. Entering water and discharge air inputs can use a sealed temperature sensor (part numbers 4190 1100 and 4190 1133).
