® Controller components Termination module The termination module (Figure 5) is a housing that provides a termination board and cable access for power, communications, and system input connections. Mounting holes enable it to be mounted on a wall or a recessed conduit box. The termination board accepts connections for power, communications, and system inputs.
® Chapter 1 Overview Main module The main module (Figure 6) is a housing that contains the main logic board and the Ethernet board. The main module can be “hot swapped”: it can be removed and installed without removing power from the termination module.
® Controller components Display module The display module (Figure 7) is a housing that contains a printed circuit board, liquid crystal display (LCD) touch screen, and an alarm LED. The printed circuit board supports the LCD touch screen and the alarm LED. The touch screen provides the operator access to the user interface program.

® Chapter 2 Termination module mounting After unpacking and inspecting the shipment, mount the termination module. The mounting process for the termination module consists of selecting a location and mounting the module. This chapter provides information and procedures that enable you to mount the termination module.
® Chapter 2 Termination module mounting Verify location conformance to controller dimensions and clearances Verify that the selected location provides enough space to accommodate the controller (Figure 9) and its minimum clearances (Figure 10 on page 17): • The top clearance allows for ventilation and conduit entry. The bottom clearance allows for PC cable interface clearance.

® Mount the termination module Installing electrical conduit Use the conduit openings on the top of the Tracker termination module to supply power or communication wires to the controller. If the controller is mounted on a wall, you must use electrical conduit. If the controller is mounted to a conduit box through which power, input/ output, and communications are supplied, you do not need to use electrical conduit.
® Chapter 3 Termination board wiring After mounting the termination module, wire the termination board. The wiring process consists of wiring the termination board to 24 Vac power, inputs, outputs, and UCMs. This chapter provides information and procedures that enable you to wire the termination board. Figure 14 on page 24 shows all field wiring connections.
Page 32
Figure Notes: 1 All customer wiring must be in accordance with national, state, and local electrical codes. 2 Trane recommends a dedicated transformer for 24 Vac power. 3 Alarm relay circuit must not exceed 24 Vac, 1 A. 4 Do not apply voltage to the priority shutdown inputs.
® Wire optional inputs and outputs Wire the alarm relay Wire the alarm relay to the termination board output. CAUTION Avoid Equipment Damage! Use a dedicated power transformer for this output. Failure to do so will damage the main module, if the alarm output is powered from the Tracker 24 Vac input (TB-1 and TB-2) and the circuit shorts to ground.
Wire the thermistor The thermistor input is for a Trane outdoor air temperature sensor only. The input cannot be used for any other purpose. Using wire that meets the specifications listed in Table 6 on page 26, wire the thermistor to the termination board input.
Trane recommends that you use Level 4 (Echelon) shielded cable for the Tracker communication link wiring between the Tracker and the Comm5 UCMs to which it communicates. Trane also recommends that you use it for communication wiring between the VariTrac CCP and its associated VariTrac or VariTrane UCMs, and for sensor wiring to these devices.
