Termination resistor Twisted pair, shielded wire 3 Do not apply voltage to the priority shutdown per Trane specifications and occupancy inputs.
Getting Started AC Power Wiring A dedicated 24 Vac, 30 VA Class 2 transformer is required to power the VariTrac Central Control Panel. The VariTrac Central Control Panel requires 3-wire service with a nominal voltage of 24 Vac and a utilization range of 20 to 30 Vac. All wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code and local codes.
Occupied/Unoccupied Input Wiring Occupied/Unoccupied Input Wiring This input closes the connection between TB2-8 and TB2-9. This is most likely from an external time clock, but any other device allowing a dry contact connection may be used. When the connection is open, the VariTrac Central Control Panel operates in the occupied mode.

For single transformer systems, connect Rc to Rh. For two transformer systems, connect the cooling transformer to RC and the heating transformer to Rh.
Bypass Damper Wiring Bypass Damper Wiring The interconnect cable is pre-wired to the bypass damper and may be lengthened if necessary. IMPORTANT Mounting screws must be located towards the ends of the damper when hanging straps are used to avoid interference with the rotating damper. A label attached to the dampers indicates the acceptable areas for mounting screws.
Getting Started If the supply duct branches out at the riser, install the control in the largest supply duct. A two-inch hole is required to insert the temperature and static pressure sensor. Use the supplied gasket to seal off air leaks. Secure the sensor to the duct with a minimum of three sheet metal screws.
Install the VariTrac Dampers Install the VariTrac Dampers A sketch of basic damper installation is shown in Figure 10. The damper may be connected with hard duct or flex duct at either end. If two bypass dampers are installed, a pigtail socket is provided on the cable so the second damper can be plugged into the UCM.
Getting Started Figure 11: Proper Damper Mounting Positions Connect UCM Wiring Connect the power to terminals TB1-1 (24V) and TB1-2 (ground). 24 Vac is required to power the UCM control. 20 Vac to 28 Vac is acceptable. Use 18 to 20 AWG for power wiring.
