Before Installation
Before installation:
• Be sure all items on the packing list are included and are
not damaged.
• Familiarize yourself with this guide and any support literature.
• Formulate a comprehensive installation plan for the entire Tracer
Summit system.
Tracer Summit System Overview

The Tracer Summit system provides building automation and energy
management functions. The system is capable of monitoring and control-
ling heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and
providing management information and operator override capabilities.
Figure 1 on page 2 shows the options for a Tracer Summit system config-
uration. For a complete list of Trane Comm5 unit controllers, see Table 7
on page 46.
The interface for Tracer Summit uses a graphical format that is accessi-
ble through a PC Workstation. You can connect the PC Workstation and
building control unit (BCU) over an Ethernet LAN or an ARCNET LAN,
or remotely using modems specified by Trane.
The Modular BCU (BMTW) and

the BCU (BMTS)
The main purpose of this installation guide is to provide hardware and
software installation guidance for the modular BCU (BMTW). In the body
of this guide, the term BCU refers to the modular BCU (BMTW). In
Chapter 6, “Network Wiring,” where both BCU models are discussed, the
terms modular BCU (BMTW) and BCU (BMTS) are used.
Appendix B provides hardware installation guidance and troubleshooting
for owners of the BCU (BMTS). In Appendix B, the term BCU refers to
the BCU (BMTS).

BCU Components
BCU Components
The BCU (see Figure 2 on page 4) is a NEMA-1 rated enclosure that
houses the following:
• A standard capacity card (required)
• An optional high capacity card
• A terminator block (TB2)
• An optional I/O module with five universal inputs (UIPs), which can
be either analog or binary, and one binary output (BOP)
• Four unit control module (UCM) communication card slots for com-
munication links 1, 2, 3, and 4
• Three card slots for option cards supplied by Trane, such as Ethernet
cards, ARCNET cards, modem cards, or EIA-232 communication
cards for BACnet interface
• A seven-segment LED display for displaying BCU operation status;
the LED operation and codes are described in Chapter 10, “BCU
Operation and Communication Status”
• An operator display socket for attaching the optional BCU operator
display
• A mini-monitor port for attaching a PC with a straight-through
EIA-232 cable to access built-in diagnostic software; this port is
intended to be used by trained service technicians
Note:
If a BCU has an optional operator display, you need to unplug
the operator display ribbon cable from the operator display
socket and wait 10 seconds before the mini-monitor port
becomes active.
The main function of the BCU is to communicate with UCMs, PC Work-

stations, and other BCUs, and to execute all application programs.

UCM Communication Links—Wiring Requirements
UCM Communication Links—

Wiring Requirements
Twisted-Pair Wire—Comm2, Comm3, and Comm4
All unit control modules (UCM) communication-link wiring must be 18-
gauge, shielded, twisted-pair wire with stranded, tinned-copper conduc-
tors.
The maximum length of link wiring (5,000 ft [1,524 m]) is a function of
the total resistance (which is determined by wire length) plus the capaci-
tance between conductors. Wire capacitance between conductors is an
important aspect of the UCM communication link. The wire should have
a maximum capacitance between conductors of 25 pF/ft (78 pF/m) for con-
nections up to 5,000 ft (1,524 m) maximum. Trane recommends that only
low-capacitance wire supplied by Trane be used for UCM communication
links. For UCM communication-link wiring, see Chapter 4, “UCM Com-
munication-Link Wiring.” UCM communication and sensor wire is avail-
able through your local Trane commercial sales office.
Twisted-Pair Wire—Comm5
The recommended Comm5 communication-link wiring is 22-gauge,
Level 4, twisted-pair wire. The wire can be either shielded or unshielded.
You can also use 18-gauge, shielded, twisted-pair with stranded, tinned-
copper conductors (Trane “purple” wire).
Note:
Do not mix wire types on a Comm5 link.
The maximum wire length for Comm5 communications is 4,500 ft

(1,400 m).
Fiber-Optic Cable
Fiber-optic cable is used for applications involving long distances because
there is little degradation of optic signals. Fiber-optic cable maintains the
integrity of the signal in the presence of various sources of electrical
noise, including lightning, electromagnetic interference/radio-frequency
interference (EMI/RFI), voltage conductors, and ground loops.
Note:
Use fiber-optic cable for long distances, interbuilding cabling, and/
or other areas of high electrical noise, such as petrochemical
installations, electronic rooms, and hospital nuclear magnetic res-
onance (NMR) or X-ray rooms.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 5
Trane requires duplex, 62.5 µm core glass fiber-optic cable with ST con-
nectors. The types of cable available for different applications include
indoor, outdoor, burial, aerial, and duct. Further descriptions of fiber-
optic cable and accessories are provided in Chapter 4, “UCM Communica-
tion-Link Wiring.”
You can order fiber-optic cables, fiber-optic modems, ST-type crimp con-
nectors, epoxy connectors, and other accessories from Trane.
LAN Communication Links—

Wiring Requirements
Coaxial Cable (10Base2 or “Thinnet”)—Ethernet
Use a 50 Ω coaxial cable (RG-58) for the Tracer Summit Ethernet link. No
other coaxial cable is supported.
You can order all Ethernet cables, adapters, crimp tools, stripper tools,
and other coaxial accessories from Trane.
For information about maximum cable length and maximum cable dis-
tance between two devices on a communication link, refer to Table 30 on
page 152.
Note:
Cable installations must comply with both federal and local codes.
Plenum-rated cable is available to meet NEC Article 725, which
addresses flame resistance and smoke emission for signal cables.
Unshielded, Twisted-Pair Wire (10BaseT)—Ethernet

In twisted-pair wiring, one pair is used to receive data signals and the
other pair is used to transmit data signals. The two wires in each pair
must be twisted together for the entire length of the segment to maximize
the signal-carrying characteristics of a wire pair. Multiple twisted-pair
segments communicate via a multiport hub.
You can only use twisted-pair wiring between a device (BCU or PC Work-
station) and a hub. If a direct connection between two devices is required,
then you must use a hub or crossover cable. For information about maxi-
mum wire length and maximum wire distance between two devices on a
communication link, refer to Table 30 on page 152.
Use Trane-supplied Category 5 cables, jumpers, connectors, and wire ter-
minating devices. These components work well for twisted-pair wires and
provide the best possible signal-carrying system for the Ethernet media
systems.
The EIA/TIA cabling standard recommends a segment length of 295 ft
(90 m) between the wire termination equipment in the wiring closet and
the wall plate in the office. This provides 33 ft (10 m) of cable allowance to
6 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
LAN Communication Links—Wiring Requirements
accommodate patch cables at each end of the link and signal losses in
intermediate wire terminations on the link.
IMPORTANT
Due to the high precision required when performing twisted-pair wire
terminations, Trane recommends that only qualified technicians with
the proper equipment handle all terminations and splicing.
Note:
Cable installations must comply with both federal and local
codes. Plenum-rated cable is available to meet NEC Article 725,
which addresses flame resistance and smoke emission for
signal cables.
Coaxial Cable—ARCNET
Use a 93 Ω coaxial cable (RG-62) for the Tracer Summit ARCNET link.
No other coaxial cable is supported.
You can order all ARCNET cables, adapters, crimp tools, stripper tools,
and other coaxial accessories from Trane.
page 152.
Note:
Cable installations must comply with both federal and local codes.
Plenum-rated cable is available to meet NEC Article 725, which
addresses flame resistance and smoke emission for signal cables.
Fiber-Optic Cable—Ethernet and ARCNET

Use fiber-optic cable for applications involving long distances. There is lit-
tle degradation of optic signals when using fiber-optic cable, and the
integrity of the signal is maintained in the presence of several sources of
electrical noise including lightning, EMI/RFI, voltage conductors, and
ground loops.
Use a duplex, 62.5 µm core glass fiber-optic cable with ST connectors for
the Tracer Summit Ethernet or ARCNET link. There are a variety of
cables available for different applications including indoor, outdoor,
burial, aerial, and duct.
You can order fiber-optic cables, fiber-optic modems, ST type crimp con-
nectors, epoxy connectors, and other accessories from Trane.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 7
IMPORTANT
Due to the high precision required when performing fiber-optic termi-
nations, Trane recommends that only qualified technicians with the
proper equipment handle all terminations and splicing.
Note:
Use glass fiber-optic cable for long distances, interbuilding
cabling, and/or other areas of high electrical noise, such as petro-
chemical installations, electronic rooms, and near hospital NMR
or X-ray rooms.
Optical-Link Loss Budget

Every fiber-optic link has some signal loss (measured in decibels). Many
factors affect decibel loss, including:
• Length of fiber-optic cable
• Transmitter optical output power
• Operating wavelength
• Fiber attenuation
• Fiber bandwidth
• Receiver optical sensitivity
The decibel loss between any two devices is based on how well the termi-
nations or splices are made. The decibel loss can vary from 0.5 to 2 dB. A
clean splice results in increased performance. For example, the fiber-optic
ARCNET card that Trane supports has a power budget of 10 dB. The
decibel loss for fiber-optic cable provided by Trane is 3.75 dB/km
(1 km = 3280 ft). Precut fiber-optic cables and professionally spliced and/
or terminated cables should ensure minimal decibel loss.
To calculate the system loss, subtract the cable loss, splice loss, termina-
tor loss, and patch panel loss from the power budget. The example below
shows typical values for the ARCNET communication link:
power budget – system safety margin = available budget
10 dB – 3 dB = 7 dB (available budget)
available budget: 7 dB
cable loss: – 3.75 dB (1 km at 3.75 dB/km)
allowance for splice loss: – 1 dB (2 at .5 dB)
allowance for end connectors: – 1 dB (2 at .5 dB)
allowance for patch panel: – 1 dB (2 at .5 dB)
excess margin: = 0.25 dB

Remote Communication Requirements and Specifications
Remote Communication Requirements

and Specifications
The Tracer Summit BCU supports remote communication with a PC
Workstation. Remote communication requirements and specifications are
described in the following sections.
Communication Rate
The BCU supports a maximum communication rate of 33,600 bps.
Communication Protocol
Communication between the BCU and a PC Workstation is performed
using the BACnet point-to-point (PTP) protocol.
BCU Internal Modem

For remote communication, a single, internal modem card must be
installed in one of the BCU’s option card slots (see Figure 2 on page 4).
Trane reserves the right to support only specified modems, because
modem specifications are subject to change. This ensures proper opera-
tion and helps facilitate technical support if communication failures
occur.
Note:
You cannot install an EIA-232 communication card for BACnet
interface and an internal modem in the same Tracer Summit
BCU.
PC Workstation Modem
The Tracer Summit PC Workstation supports up to three internal or
external modems. (The resources available on any given PC Workstation
will dictate the number of modems able to be connected.) As with the

play on a BCU that has not been configured, the operator
display will beep. You may want to wait to power up the opera-
tor display until the BCU has been configured. To do so, simply
keep the ribbon cable disconnected from the P13 operator dis-
play socket on the BCU logic board.
IMPORTANT
The operator display will not function properly if the mini-monitor is
plugged into P6 on the BCU logic board. (The mini-monitor is software
and cabling that allows you to view BCU information on an attached
PC.) If you need to attach the mini-monitor cable, first unplug the oper-
ator display from the P13 operator display socket on the BCU logic
board.

BCU I/O Module
The BCU input/output (I/O) module is an optional board that adds capa-
bilities for five universal inputs (UIPs) and one binary output (BOP) to
the BCU.
Each UIP can be configured for any of the following:
• Binary (switches or outputs)
• Current (0–20 mA)
• Pulse meter (water, gas, and electric)
• Temperature sensor (Trane thermistors)
• Voltage (0–10 Vdc) inputs
Both the hardware jumper selection and the software configuration set
the UIP type.
A BOP has been included in the BCU I/O module to provide a convenient
single output. The BOP can be used to control equipment or provide sta-
tus information such as an alarm condition.
BCU I/O Module Installation

Install the BCU I/O module into the BCU enclosure. Refer to Figure 2 on
page 4 for BCU I/O module installation location. Two posts and two
screws secure the board into the back of the enclosure.
A RJ45 cable is provided to connect the BCU I/O module to the BCU.
Refer to Figure 2 on page 4 for RJ45 connector locations and cable dia-
gram. The BCU will communicate with and provide power to the BCU I/O
module through this cable.
I/O Wiring
All wiring must conform to national and local electrical codes. Analog wir-
ing should not exceed a run length of 300 ft (91 m). Binary wiring should
not exceed a length of 1,000 ft (305 m). If the recommended lengths are
exceeded, the wire may pick up EMI/RFI, which would affect operation of
the BCU I/O module.
For input and output wiring, Trane recommends using a plenum wire
that is 18–22 AWG (1.02–0.643 mm2) shielded, twisted-pair wire. Each
conductor is stranded, tinned copper. Only one end of the shielded wire
should be grounded. At the BCU end, connect the wire’s shield to the neg-
ative lead input. On the other end of the wire, cut back and tape the
shielding.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 37
Chapter 3 BCU I/O Module
Both input wiring and output wiring are connected to the terminal block
TB1 on the BCU I/O module. The five UIPs are labeled UIP1 through
UIP5. The BOP is labeled BOP1. The BCU I/O module also has a 24 Vac
(100 mA) output to power transmitting devices. Odd numbered terminals
on TB1 are positive leads, and even numbered terminals are negative
leads, except for TB1-14. For current or voltage devices, always connect
the positive wire to positive leads and the negative wire to negative leads.
Refer to Figure 13 for terminal locations on TB1.

Hardware UIP Selection

Each UIP has a set of hardware jumpers. Use the hardware jumpers on
the BCU I/O module to specify the input device type that the UIPs will be
configured for. The five UIP jumper sets are labeled UIP1 through UIP5.
Refer to Figure 13 on page 38 for jumper locations. Table 5 on page 39
lists input device types for each UIP along with their corresponding
jumper configurations, operating ranges, and circuit characteristics.
Binary/Pulse Meter Configured UIPs

Binary and pulse meter devices connected to binary configured UIPs
must be isolated and have ungrounded contacts. Binary hardware that
can be used includes momentary contact switches (normally open), stan-
dard (maintained) switches, and pulse metered devices (gas, water, or
electric).
Common devices are enthalpy switches, differential-pressure airflow
switches, system shutdown switches, remote alarms, photocell, gas
meters, water meters, and electrical demand meters.
For pulse meter devices, the closure pulse rate may range from 0 to 4 Hz.
On a contact closure, the minimum contact dwell time must last at least
125 ms for the closure to be recognized by the input.
For all UIPs in the BCU I/O module, you must create and set up the nec-
essary objects that will provide units, calculation, and alarming to the
desired input. Refer to the System Programming guide for creating and
setting up the necessary objects.

Thermistor Configured UIPs

For thermistor configured UIPs, only a resistance thermistor tempera-
ture sensor (from –30°F to 220°F [–34°C to 104°C]) can be connected to
the input. Table 6 displays the sensor resistance values for thermistors.

Current and Voltage Configured UIPs

UIPs can be set up for either current or voltage input for transmitting
and sensor devices that are either current or voltage sources. For current
sources, the input can handle a range from 0–20 mA. The current source
must be able to drive 200 Ω. For voltage sources, the input can handle a
range from 0–10 Vdc. The voltage source must be able to drive 9000 Ω.
The BCU I/O module provides a 24 Vdc (100 mA) power supply output for
transmitting devices that require an external dc-power supply. Refer to
Figure 15 on page 43 for a wiring diagram on how to connect the power
supply to a transmitting device and an input.
Note:
The 24 Vdc power supply shares a common negative input with
the UIPs. This eliminates the need to connect a 24 Vdc negative
power output to the negative input of the UIP.

A single triac powered binary output is available for use. The triac
accepts loads up to 500 mA at 24 Vdc. Refer to Figure 13 on page 38 for
the location of the binary output, which is labeled BOP1.
For the binary output on the BCU I/O module, you must create and setup
a binary output object that will control this output. Refer to the Tracer

UCM Communication-Link
Wiring
Communication Links
Unit control module (UCM) communication links are used to connect
UCMs to the BCU. Each BCU has four communication card slots and can
have up to four UCM communication links. You can configure each link
with any one of the five types of UCM communication cards.
The types and quantities of UCMs that you can link to standard capacity
and high capacity BCUs are shown in Table 7 on page 46. BCU capacity
is determined by whether just the standard capacity module is installed
or both the standard and high capacity modules are installed in a BCU.

‡ The number of TRS panels supported in a BCU is a function of the number of binary and analog objects defined. Make sure that
the BCU is properly sized (refer to BAS-PRB005-EN, Building Control Unit Sizing for Version 13 Tracer Summit Systems). TRSs
must be configured on communication link 1. TRSs cannot coexist with other UCM types on the same communication link. The
non-isolated Comm3 link must be dedicated solely to the TRS interface and can be located only on communication link 1.
** A maximum of 60 devices per link can be accommodated. With a repeater, the maximum number is increased to 120.

UCM Communication Cards
The locations of the UCM communication links on the BCU logic board
are illustrated in Figure 16.
Figure 16. UCM Communication-Link Locations

Five types of UCM communication cards are available. Each card sup-
ports a separate link of UCMs that are scanned continuously. These five
UCM communication card types are available for various communication
protocols.
These cards fit into modules P2, P3, P4, P5 on the BCU logic board and
can be arranged in any order. The BCU is shipped with these cards in
place, and they are preconfigured according to the model number as
ordered. The types of cards are as follows:
• Cards that fit into module P2 use the UCM communication link #1
located on terminals TB2-1, TB2-2, and TB2-3.
The five communication card options are described in the following sections.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 47
Comm2 Card
This card is used for UCP1 communication. It is the isolated link for use
with UCP1 chillers (CVHE, CVAD, RTHA, and CVHB). These are the
same chillers that previously connected to Tracer 100 series systems
through the system control panel (SCP). The use of an SCP is not
required nor is it supported for Tracer Summit installations. A maximum
of two of these cards per BCU can be used.

Installing UCM Communication Cards

You can install a card in any of the four slots on the BCU.
To Install a UCM Communication Card:
1. With power turned off at switch S1, align the card with the electronic
components facing toward the bottom of the BCU. Then slowly insert
the card into the slot at a 45-degree angle until the card is seated.
2. Slowly move the card from the 45-degree angle to 0 degrees (horizon-
tal), leaving the card perpendicular to the BCU logic board.
3. Secure the card using the two clips on each side of the slot.
For an illustration of how to install a UCM communication card, see
52 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
Figure 22. UCM Communication Card Installation
Uninstalling UCM Communication Cards

1. Turn off power at switch S1.
2. Release the two clips on each side of the module.
3. Slowly move the card from the horizontal alignment (0 degrees) to a
45-degree angle.
4. Slowly pull the card from the slot.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 53
Communication-Link Wire
All Tracer Summit communication-link wiring is low voltage Class 2 and
must be field-supplied and installed in compliance with NEC and local
codes. To prevent electrical noise interference, all communication-link
wiring must also comply with the requirements outlined in this section
for wire selection and individual link configuration. Fiber-optic UCM
communication is also available where extreme distance, electrical noise
immunity, or building-to-building communication is required (See “Fiber-
Optic UCM Communication” on page 64).
Do not run communication-link wiring in the same conduit or wire bundle
with ac-power wires. This could cause the BCU to malfunction due to
electrical noise.
Typical UCM communication-link field wiring is illustrated in Figure 23
on page 55.
54 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
Figure 23. Typical UCM Communication-Link Field Wiring
Figure Note:
If unshielded wire is used (as recommended for Comm5), there is no shield con-
nection.
UCM Communication-Wire Characteristics

(This section applies only to Comm2, Comm3, Comm4 wire.)
UCM communication-link wiring must be low-capacitance, 18-gauge,
shielded, twisted pair with stranded, tinned-copper conductors. For daisy
chain and branch configurations, limit the wire run length to 5,000 ft
(1,524 m).
Wire capacitance (measured in picofarads/foot [pF/ft] or
picofarads/meter [pF/m]) between conductors must be 23±2 pF/ft
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 55
(72±6 pF/m). Trane wire 400-2028 is recommended. Consult your local

Trane sales office.
Comm5 UCM Communication-Wire Characteristics

The recommended Comm5 communication wiring is 22-gauge, Level 4,
twisted-pair wire, either shielded or unshielded. However, you can also
use low-capacitance, 18-gauge, shielded, twisted-pair with stranded,
tinned-copper conductors (Trane “purple” wire).
Comm5 links should use the daisy chain configuration. The wiring run
length should be limited to 4,500 ft (1,400 m) with no more than eight
zone sensor communication stubs (maximum 50 ft). The links should not
be a star, or trunk and branch configuration.
Recommended Configurations for UCM Communication-Link

Wiring
UCM communication-link wiring must use one of the following
configurations:
• Daisy chain configuration, shown in Figure 24.
• Daisy chain configuration for Comm5, shown in Figure 25 on page 57.
• Branch configuration, shown in Figure 26 on page 58.
(This configuration should not be used with Comm5 communication
links.)

Termination Resistance Placement for Comm5 Links

To correctly install a Comm5 link, termination resistors are required.
For correct termination placement, follow the guidelines below:
• Terminate a daisy chain configuration with a resistor at each end of
the wire (105 Ω. for 22 AWG, Level 4 wire and 82 Ω. for18 AWG,
Trane “purple” wire).
• If a repeater is used, each link of the configuration that is created by
the repeater requires termination resistors (see “Alternate Daisy
Chain Resistor Placement” on page 60).
• Trane recommends that only one type of wire should be used for the
Comm5 communication link.
• A set of as-built drawings or a map of the communication wire layout
should be made during installation. Any sketch of the communication
layout should feature the terminating resistor placement (see
Figure 27 and Figure 28 on page 60 for daisy chain configurations).

Comm5 Physical Link Repeater

The Comm5 link repeater is a device that repeats and regenerates the
signal on a Comm5 link. The Comm5 link goes from the BCU to the
repeater and a second link segment extends from the other side of the
repeater to the rest of the devices. The configurations on either side of the
repeater should be daisy chain. Both link segments require proper
termination.
60 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
When is the Link Repeater Required?

A link repeater is required when:
• The total wire length is greater than the maximum wire run length of
4,500 ft (1,400 m).
• More than 60 devices are connected to a link. This total does not
include the BCU, the link repeater, and the temporary use of the
Rover service tool on the same link.
• More than eight zone sensor communication stubs (maximum 50 ft)
are required on a Comm5 link (see “Zone Sensor Communication
Stubs” on page 144).
Link Repeater Limitations

The link repeater has several limitations:
• Only one link repeater can be used on a link.
• The use of a repeater doubles the maximum allowable wire length.
For example, when a repeater is used with a daisy chain configura-
tion, the total wire length can be 9,000 ft (2,800 m) (with half the wire
length on either side of the repeater).
• The link repeater is limited to 60 devices on either side of the link.
The total number of devices that can be attached to a repeater is 120.
• The link repeater requires a definite earth ground. The installer
should be aware of this before making any power connections.
Link Repeater Connections

Recommended shield connections are shown in Figure 29 on page 62.
Figure 30 on page 63 is an example of using a repeater to create an
extended daisy chain configuration.
Follow these guidelines when using a repeater:
• Read the Comm5 repeater installation, 3270 3285 information that
comes with the link repeater.
• For information about terminating daisy chain configurations, see
“Termination Resistance Placement for Comm5 Links” on page 59.
• For information about shielded cable connections, see “Recommended
Wiring Practices” on page 64.”
• Shield-drain wires entering the repeater should be connected to a ter-
minal marked with a capacitor symbol. The entering shield-drain
wire must be connected to earth ground at the BCU.
• Shield-drain wires leaving the repeater should be connected to the
repeater terminal marked with an earth ground symbol.

BMTW-SVN01F-EN 63
Recommended Wiring Practices

The following guidelines should be followed while installing communica-
tion wire:
• Although Comm5 does not require polarity sensitivity, Trane recom-
mends that the installer keep polarity consistent throughout the site.
• Only strip away 2 inches maximum of the outer conductor of shielded
cable.
• Make sure that the 24 Vac power supplies are consistent in how they
are grounded. Avoid sharing 24 Vac between Comm5 UCMs.
• Avoid overtightening cable ties and other forms of cable wraps. This
can damage the wires inside the cable.
• Do not run Comm5 cable alongside or in the same conduit as 24 Vac
power. This includes the conductors running from triac-type inputs.
• In an open plenum, avoid lighting ballasts, especially those using
277 Vac.
• Use a daisy chain configuration. Branch configurations are not rec-
ommended.
Fiber-Optic UCM Communication

Fiber-optic cable is used for applications involving long distances because
there is little degradation of optic signals, and the integrity of the signal
is maintained in the presence of several sources of electrical noise, includ-
ing lightning, EMI/RFI, voltage conductors, and ground loops.
Trane requires duplex, 62.5 µm core glass fiber-optic cable with ST con-
nectors. There are a variety of cables available for different applications
including indoor, outdoor, burial, aerial, and duct.
You can order fiber-optic cables, fiber-optic modems, ST-type crimp con-
nectors, epoxy connectors, and other accessories from Trane through the
Buying Group.
Typically, the fiber-optic UCM communication link is used in applications
where a BCU located in one building communicates not only to the UCMs
within that building, but also to other UCMs located in other buildings.
The fiber-optic cable is used typically as the communication link between
buildings, and it uses EIA-485 data transceivers (D1300) and EIA-485
data repeaters (D2300), which are called fiber-optic modems. These
modems convert the electrical signals from a twisted pair of wires to opti-
cal signals, which are sent over the fiber-optic cable. At the other end, the
optical signals are converted back to electrical signals and sent along the
twisted pair of wires.
IMPORTANT
Trane recommends that only qualified and experienced fiber-optic tech-
nicians prepare the fiber-optic end connectors and cable run lengths.
Improper methods may result in faulty communication due to signal
64 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
degradation (decibel loss). The signal degradation must be less than

14 dB on each fiber.
Note:
Use fiber-optic cable for long distances, interbuilding cabling,
and/or other high electrical noise areas such as petrochemical
installations, electronic rooms, and near hospital NMR or X-ray
rooms.
Fiber-Optic Modems
The EIA-485 data transceiver (D1300) has one fiber-optic port and one
twisted-pair (EIA-485) port. The EIA-485 data repeater (D2300) has two
fiber-optic ports and one twisted-pair (EIA-485) port. Each fiber-optic
port has two connections, one for transmitting information and one for

An illustration of a D2300 fiber-optic modem and the connections to it is
provided in Figure 31. The EIA-485 data transceiver (D1300) looks like
the EIA-485 data repeater (D2300) shown in this figure, but it has only
one fiber-optic port. The mounting and power wiring is the same for both
types of fiber-optic modems.
Figure 31. EIA-485 Data Repeater (D2300) Fiber-Optic Modem
Mounting and Wiring Fiber-Optic Modems

1. Mount the fiber-optic modem on the wall using the four mounting
screw holes on the modem.
2. Connect power to the modem using the ac adapter provided with the
modem. The adapter has two wires; one black with a white stripe, and
one solid black. The white striped wire connects to the 12 Vac/Vdc
connection on the modem, and the solid black wire connects to the
ground (GRD-2) terminal.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 65
3. Verify that a proper connection is made by plugging the ac adapter

into an electrical outlet and viewing the red power LED on the left
side of the modem. If the red LED does not illuminate, check the
polarity of the connection and verify that the electrical outlet is pow-
ered.
4. Connect the terminated fibers, making sure that the fiber going to
DATA REC on the next modem goes to DATA XTMR on this modem
and vice versa. Keep track of the polarity by recording the color of the
jacket on each fiber and to which connection it goes on each building.
IMPORTANT
Fiber-optic polarity is extremely important! Make sure that the fiber
connections on the fiber-optic modem are reversed for the next
modem, and then reversed again to the next modem, and so on.
5. Connect the UCM communication link and the resistor (provided with
the modem) to the modem as shown in Figure 31 on page 65. Connect
the shield at the BCU end and tape it back at the modem end. Polar-
ity of this connection is important only for Comm4 cards.
Exception: In buildings that do not have a BCU, the shield from the
communication-link wiring must be grounded on the GRD-2 terminal
between the two UCM communication-link wire terminals of the
fiber-optic modem. The shield wire must not touch either of the two
communication wires.
A typical application using twisted-pair communication wire between the
BCU and UCMs within the initial building, then connected to several
other buildings using fiber-optic modems, is shown in Figure 32 on
page 67.
66 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
Figure 32. Typical Fiber-Optic UCM Communication-Link Layout
Optical-Link Loss Budget

Every fiber-optic link has some signal loss (measured in decibels). Many
factors affect decibel loss, including:
• Length of fiber-optic cable
• Transmitter optical output power
• Operating wavelength
• Fiber attenuation
• Fiber bandwidth
• Receiver optical sensitivity
The decibel loss between any two devices is based on how well the termi-
nations or splices are made. A termination or splice can vary from
0.5–2 dB loss. A clean splice results in increased performance.
The fiber-optic modem supported by Trane has a power budget of 14 dB
between 32°F and 140°F (0°C and 60°C). This is the acceptable tempera-
ture range specified for the BCU. The decibel loss for conduit-rated fiber-
optic cable (P/N 400-4002) is 3.75 dB/km (1 km = 3,280 ft). Precut fiber-
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 67
optic cables and professionally spliced and/or terminated cables should

ensure minimal decibel loss.
To calculate the system loss, subtract the cable loss, splice loss, termina-
tor loss, and patch panel loss from the power budget. The example below
shows typical values for the UCM communication link.
power budget – system safety margin = available budget
14 dB – 3 dB = 11 dB (available budget)
available budget: 11 dB
cable loss: – 7.5 dB (1 km at 3.75 dB/km)
allowance for splice loss: – 1 dB (2 at .5 dB)
allowance for end connectors: – 1 dB (2 at .5 dB)
allowance for patch panel: – 1 dB (2 at .5 dB)
excess margin: = 0.5 dB

Chapter 5
UCM Wiring and Addressing
Unit control modules (UCMs) provide the communication interface neces-

sary for a BCU to monitor and control equipment. In this section, each
UCM is described in terms of the equipment it is used with and the type
of card that provides the communication link.
Addresses for most UCMs are set by using DIP switches or local displays.
In this section, specific tables provide address settings for each of these
UCM types. Appendix A provides an alternative table, along with calcula-
tion instructions, that can be used for all DIP switch settings.
Comm5 UCMs are unique because they do not have a field-configurable
DIP switch address (see “Neuron ID” on page 144).
CenTraVac Unit Control Panel (UCP1)

Interface
CenTraVac unit control panels (UCP1s) allow a Tracer Summit system to
monitor and control the following CenTraVac control chiller models:
CVHE, CVAD, CVHB, and RTHA. One digit of each UCP1’s model num-
ber indicates whether the UCP1 has a bidirectional communication inter-
face and can communicate with Tracer Summit.
For CVHE, CVAD, and CVHB chillers, the UCP1 must have a code num-
ber of 13650396-06 or higher and also have the following model number
specification:
• If the UCP1 model number has 41 digits, digit #38 must be the letter
W or Z.
• If the UCP1 model number has 18 digits, digit #14 must be the
letter B.
For RTHA chillers, the UCP1 must have a code number of 13650396-06 or
higher and digit #13 of the UCP1 model number must be the letter D.
Note:
If the UCP1 control panel is connected to a System Control
Panel (SCP), with or without a Tracer 100 in place, then the
chiller has a bidirectional communication interface (regardless
of the chiller model number). The SCP can be removed and the
chiller can be connected to a Tracer Summit system for moni-
toring and control.
For specific information about the number of UCP1s allowed per BCU
and per communication link, refer to Table 7 on page 46.

Chapter 5 UCM Wiring and Addressing
Type of Communication Card: Comm2

Refer to “Comm2 Card” on page 48.
Wiring Notes
To establish wiring connections between the UCM and the BCU, Trane
requires that you use the communication-link wiring specified in this
manual. For wire selection specifications, see “UCM Communication-
Wire Characteristics” on page 55.
Use fiber-optic modems for building-to-building communication. If fiber
optics are not used, building-to-building communication wiring requires a
Transtector transient protector at each building. You can purchase Tran-
stector protectors through Trane. Contact your local Trane sales office for
details.
In a daisy chain configuration, use one pair of wires that start at the BCU
and go to all UCMs in a continuous loop. A branch configuration is possi-
ble if you need to tap into a daisy chain. Limit the total aggregate length
of the wiring for each communication link to 5,000 ft (1,524 m).
To connect communication wiring:
1. Attach one end of the communication-link wiring to TB2 on the BCU.
For the location of TB2 refer to Figure 16 on page 47.
2. Attach the other end of the communication-link wiring to the UCP at
the 1TB6 terminal on the 1U3 module of the UCP. Refer to the UCP
literature for details concerning UCP installation and operation.
To connect the shield:
◆ Connect the shield at the BCU (TB2) to provide a drain for RFI/EMI,
and then splice it with other UPC1 UCM shields at the UPC1 UCM
end. Tape the shield at the last UPC1 UCM in the chain to prevent
any connection between the shield and ground (see Figure 33 on
page 71).
Note:
Observe the polarity throughout communication links.
IMPORTANT
UCM ground loops will cause a malfunction.

Lighting Control Panel (LCP) Interface

Description
The lighting control panel (LCP) allows Tracer Summit to control build-
ing lighting circuits (typically in accordance with Time of Day schedules)
and monitor physical switch and telephone inputs. The LCP allows coor-
dination of the lighting circuit operation with other building management
functions, like Time of Day scheduling.
The LCP communicates on a Comm3 isolated communication link, via the
LCP supervisor. The LCP supervisor provides a communication interface
between the LCP and the BCU. The LCP supervisor has two serial com-
munication links:
• The first link allows it to communicate with the Tracer Summit BCU
over a twisted, shielded pair of wires.
• The second communication link allows the LCP Supervisor to commu-
nicate with the LCP panels.
The LCP supervisor is a communication-link translator and a pathway
for multiple LCPs. Only one LCP supervisor can exist on the communica-
tion link. For specific information about the number of LCPs allowed per
BCU and per communication link, refer to Table 7 on page 46.

the S1 address DIP switches on the communication card. The DIP switch
settings for the valid addresses are shown in Table 21.
Note:
Since the TRS interface feature of Tracer Summit is used pri-
marily in retrofit or migration applications, the TRS communi-
cation addressing should already be configured. However, due
to BCU capacity and loading, it may be necessary to split an
existing TRS link containing up to 16 TRS panels into multiple
links with fewer UCMs. In this case, it may be prudent to leave
the TRS communication-link addresses as configured and set
up the BCU to communicate at those addresses.

VariTrac II Central Control Panel (CCP)

Interface
Description
The VariTrac system is a changeover bypass VAV system that controls
the temperature and mode of individual VAV zones, and also stages the
rooftop or air handler that serves the system. VariTrac systems are
applied with the use of a VariTrac II central control panel (CCP) that pro-
vides coordination, monitoring, and diagnostics for the VariTrac zone sys-
tem. It is responsible for communicating with, and the grouping of, up to
16 VAV units to determine space heating and cooling requirements, as
well as for selecting the mode and number of stages for the heating and
cooling unit to meet those needs.
The VariTrac II CCP can function as a standalone UCM whereby mode
control functions can be initiated via binary inputs from a time clock or
other contact closures. The VariTrac II CCP can also be controlled and
monitored from an upper level system, such as Tracer Summit, via a con-
nection to the BCU.
For information about the number of VariTrac II CCPs allowed per BCU
The following information summarizes VariTrac I and II compatibility
with Tracer Summit:
• VariTrac I comfort managers are not compatible with Tracer Summit,
and they cannot communicate with Tracer Summit.
• The VariTrac II CCP must use software version 2.2 to communicate
with Tracer Summit. CCPs with versions 1.x, 2.0, or 2.1 will not com-
municate with Tracer Summit. All future CCP software versions will
be Tracer Summit-compatible.
• VariTrac II CCPs using boards with revision levels 1 to 10 cannot be
upgraded to software version 2.2. The version 2.2 chip is only compat-
ible in revision level 11 boards or greater.
• CCPs with boards manufactured prior to revision level 11 cannot
communicate with Tracer Summit until the CCP board is replaced.
Contact your local Trane sales office for instructions.
• VariTrac II CCPs using boards with revision levels 11 to 14 can be
upgraded to software version 2.2 by replacing the chip in location
U-27.
• VariTrac II CCPs using boards with revision levels 15 and greater
already come equipped from the factory with software version 2.2 and
are fully compatible with Tracer Summit.
120 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
VariTrac II Central Control Panel (CCP) Interface
• The approximate manufacturing dates for CCP boards are shown

below:
Manufacturing Date Description
February 20, 1996 The CCP board transitioned from revision

level 10 to 11. Both board revisions were
available with software version 2.1; how-
ever, the PROM chip on each board (loca-
tion U-27) was physically different.
December 22, 1997 The CCP transitioned from revision level 14
to 15. The software version transitioned
from 2.1 to 2.2 on the same date.
• The CCP software version is shown on the label of the chip at location
U-27 on the board. For the chip’s location on the board, refer to
Figure 57 on page 122. The revision level of the board determines
whether previous software versions of the CCP can be upgraded to be
compatible with Tracer Summit.

Summit system to monitor and control all models of the VariTrane DDC/
VAV boxes.
You can connect these units to any non-isolated Comm3 UCM communi-
cation link on TB2. The link provides a serial communication interface
between the BCU and each DDC/VAV in the system. For specific informa-
tion about the number of VAV I, II, III, or IVs allowed per BCU and per
communication link, refer to Table 7 on page 46. VAV I and VAV IA
UCMs reside on different communication links from VAV II, VAV III, and
VAV IV UCMs.
Type of Communication Card

VariTrane UCM I and UCM IA use the non-isolated Comm3 card. Soft-
ware setup refers to VariTrane UCMI and UCMIA as VAV I. Refer to
“Non-Isolated Comm3 Card” on page 50.
VariTrane UCM II, UCM III, and UCM IV use the Comm4 card. Software
setup refers to VariTrane UCM II, UCM III, and UCM IV as VAV II/III/
IV. Refer to “Comm4 Card” on page 51.
Wiring Notes

Voyager Rooftop Unit Interface

Description
Tracer Summit can monitor, control, and configure Voyager rooftop units.
The Voyager interface provides a communication link between the BCU
and each Voyager rooftop unit. For specific information about the number
of Voyagers allowed per BCU and per communication link, refer to
Table 7 on page 46.
Type of Communication Card: Comm3 or Comm4

Refer to “Isolated Comm3 Card” on page 49 and “Comm4 Card” on
page 51.
Voyager rooftop units must have the Trane communication interface
(TCI-3) module installed in order to communicate with Tracer Summit.
The daughter board on the TCI-3 must be configured for a “non-isolated
Comm3 or Comm4 card” (see Figure 63) when connected to a BCU
Comm4 link. Tracer Summit includes isolated Comm3 support, which
allows the Voyager to communicate to a BCU isolated Comm3 link. When
using this configuration, the TRI-3 daughter board must be configured for
“isolated Comm3” by rotating the daughter board clockwise 90° from the
position shown in Figure 63 so that “Isolated Comm3” is at the bottom.
Refer to the Trane Communication Interface (TCI-3) installation, opera-
tion, and maintenance literature for more information on configuring the
TCI-3.

Comm5 UCMs
Trane’s Comm5 protocol is a high-speed communications link that uses
LonTalk® protocol. Comm5 offers many benefits, including:
• High-speed (78,000 bps) communications
• Open protocol support
• Neuron ID numbers that replace UCM addresses
• Polarity of wiring not sensitive
140 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
Comm5 UCMs
Description of Types
The following types of UCMs communicate with BCUs using a Comm5
communication link. For specific information about the number of each of
these types of UCMs allowed per BCU and per communications link, refer
Tracer AH540 and Tracer AH541 Air-Handler Controllers

The Tracer AH540 (factory-installed) and Tracer AH541 (field-installed)
air-handler controllers monitor and control Trane air handlers. The
Tracer AH540/541 controller supports three air-handler control
sequences: constant volume (CV) controlled by space temperature, CV
with discharge temperature control, and variable air volume (VAV).
Tracer Summit software supports the Tracer AH540/541 controller by
using the LonMark™ Space Comfort Controller (SCC) profile or Dis-
charge Air Controller (DAC) profile. The object type used depends on the
sequence selected as part of the Tracer AH540/541 configuration (see
Table 28).
Table 28. Tracer AH540/541 control sequences in Tracer Summit

Unit Sequence Type
Space Temperature SCC

Discharge Temperature DAC
VAV DAC
The Tracer AH540/541 controller needs to be configured (either at the fac-

tory or in the field with the Rover service tool) before connecting it to the
BCU.
Tracer Loop Controller Interface

The Tracer loop controller allows a Tracer Summit system to monitor and
control water-source heat pump systems.
Tracer MP501 Controller

The Tracer MP501 controller is a configurable, multi-purpose controller
used to provide direct-digital control for HVAC equipment. The Tracer
MP501 provides a single control loop with the following output types: 2-
stage, tri-state modulating, and 0–10 Vdc analog.
The controller can be configured to conform to the LonMark™ SCC pro-
file or as a generic LonTalk® device (GLD object). In SCC mode, the
Tracer MP501 controls space temperature to an active setpoint. SCC
mode supports the following applications:
• Heating control loop
• Cooling control loop
• Two-pipe heat/cool automatic changeover using a communicated sup-
ply water temperature value
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 141
In generic mode, the Tracer MP501 provides control flexibility in a vari-

ety of applications that do not necessarily follow a LonMark™ profile.
The control loop accepts inputs of the following types: temperature, pres-
sure, flow, percent, or parts per million (ppm). Generic mode supports
many applications including:
• Fan speed control based on duct static pressure
• Pump speed control based on water differential pressure or flow
• Humidifier control based on space or duct relative humidity
Tracer MP503 I/O Module

The Tracer MP503 input/output (I/O) module is a field-installed module
used to monitor inputs and control binary outputs. The module has four
universal inputs that can be configured as binary, thermistor, 0–20 mA,
or 0–10 Vdc, as well as four binary outputs. The MP503 I/O module
communicates with Tracer Summit by using the Generic LonTalk®
Device (GLD) object.
Tracer MP580 and Tracer MP581 Controllers

The multi-purpose Tracer MP580 (factory-installed) and Tracer MP581
(field-installed) controllers provide control for many types of HVAC
equipment, including air handlers, chillers, pumps, and generic loads
through the use of generic inputs and outputs. The Tracer MP580/581
controller requires customized Tracer Graphical Programming and con-
figurations using Rover service tool software Version 3.0 or higher.
The Tracer MP580/581 controller has three possible configurations: a
completely generic, programmable configuration (called a No Profile con-
figuration), a configuration conforming to the LonMark™ DAC profile,
and a configuration conforming to the LonMark™ SCC profile. The DAC
and SCC configurations enable the Tracer MP580/581 to use the appro-
priate LonMark™ profile to send information to and receive information
from the Tracer Summit BCU, in addition to using the generic variables
of the No Profile configuration. The Tracer MP580/581 needs to have the
correct configuration (selected through the Rover service tool) before
Tracer Summit connects to it. Despite the configuration names of DAC
and SCC, Tracer Summit always treats the Tracer MP580/581 controller
as a Tracer MP580/581 object rather than as a DAC or SCC object.
Tracer Zone Controllers

Tracer zone controllers monitor and control equipment such as fan coils,
classroom unit ventilators, water-source heat pumps, and blower coils.
Trane zone controllers include the following: factory-installed Tracer
ZN524, ZN510 and ZN520 and field-installed Tracer ZN511, ZN517, and
ZN521. These controllers communicates with Tracer Summit using the
Space Comfort Controller (SCC) object.
Tracer VV550 and Tracer VV551 controllers

The Tracer VV550 (factory-installed) and Tracer 551 (field-installed) con-
trollers provide digital control for variable air volume (VAV) boxes and
142 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
Comm5 UCMs
communicate with a Tracer Summit BAS by using Comm5, Trane’s

implementation of LonTalk® communications protocol. The controller con-
forms to the LonMark™ Space Comfort Controller (SCC) profile and
interfaces to Tracer Summit through the SCC object. System coordination
of the Tracer VV550/551 controllers and their associated air handler is
accomplished with the new VAV air system (VAS) application designed
specifically for Comm5 controllers.
Generic LonTalk® Devices

LonTalk® devices support LonTalk® protocol but do not meet the Lon-
Mark™ profiles that Tracer Summit software supports, such as SCC or
DAC. However, LonTalk® devices can be connected to Tracer Summit as
Generic LonTalk® Device (GLD) objects. GLDs must support LonMark™
standard network variable types (SNVTs). The BCU integrates these
devices into Tracer Summit by mapping SNVTs to standard BACnet
objects (AIP, AOP, BIP, BOP). These BACnet objects can then be used in
various Tracer Summit applications, such as TOD scheduling, graphics,
and CPL programs.
The BCU gets the information it needs for mapping SNVTs to standard
BACnet objects from an external interface file (XIF). You will need to
transfer this information to the Tracer Summit PC Workstation. The XIF
file is supplied by the manufacturer of the generic LonTalk® device.
Generic LonTalk® devices include: variable frequency drives (VFDs),
meters, occupancy sensors, actuators, and I/O modules. Typically, these
devices will be pre-configured by the original equipment manufacturer.
For detailed information about generic LonTalk® devices and how they
operate in Tracer Summit, refer to Tracer Summit Connections to Non-
Trane LonTalk® Devices (BAS-PRB003-EN).

Wiring Notes
To establish wiring connections between UCM and the BCU, Trane
manual. For wire selection specifications, see “Communication-Link
Wire” on page 54.
For the location of TB2 (refer to Figure 16 on page 47).
2. Attach the other end of the communication-link wiring to the UCM or
the LonTalk® device at the appropriate terminal. For UCM connec-
tion points, refer to Trane’s installation, operation, and maintenance
manuals for Comm5 UCMs or the manufacturer’s literature for the
appropriate device.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 143
Termination resistors are required for correct installation of UCMs on the

Comm5 link. See “Termination Resistance Placement for Comm5 Links”
on page 59.
Neuron ID
Each Comm5 UCM or LonTalk® device is assigned a unique identification
number called a Neuron ID. The Neuron ID number is typically printed
on a label located on the logic board of each UCM. You can view the Neu-
ron ID number from Tracer Summit when communication is established.
An example Neuron ID format is 00-01-64-1C-2B-00. (See the Tracer
Summit System Programming guide.)
Comm5 Zone Sensor Communication Jack

Many Trane zone sensor models include a communication jack. When
properly wired to the communication terminals on the unit controller, the
communication jack provides easy access to both the controller and the
entire Comm5 link. This enables you to access the status and configura-
tion information of any controller on the link using a service tool.
The recommended wire between the controller and the communication
jack is 22-gauge, Level 4 wire; or 18-gauge, shielded, twisted-pair with
stranded, tinned-copper conductors (Trane “purple” wire). Thermostat
wire is not recommended for the communication jack.
Zone Sensor Communication Stubs

The wire that runs between the controller and zone sensor is commonly
referred to as the communication stub. Figure 65 on page 145 shows an
example of communication stubs on a Comm5 link when a repeater is
used.
Note:
• Only 8 stubs can be used per Comm5 link. To add more
stubs to the link, a repeater is necessary. Up to 8 stubs may
be used on each side of the repeater (16 total stubs).
• Each communication stub must not exceed 50 feet in
length.

• Maximum wire length on either side of the repeater is 4,500 ft (1,400 m).
• The link repeater is limited to 60 devices on either side of the link.
• *Termination resistors placed at the end of each link. The resistance value of
the termination resistor is 105-ohm resistor for Level 4 wire at each end of the
link. For Trane “purple” wire use an 82-ohm resistor at each end of the link.

Chapter 6
Network Wiring
This chapter discusses the following topics related to network wiring:

• The various network configurations that are possible with Tracer
Summit
• The various cable configurations connecting BCUs, PC Workstations,
and hubs within a network—referred to as network topologies: bus
topology, star topology, bus/star topology
• Networks using Ethernet communication
• Networks using ARCNET communication
• Installing coaxial cable connectors
• Internet Protocol (IP) installation procedures
• EIA-232 communication
Network Communication
Configurations
Tracer Summit uses BACnet for communication over LANs made up of
Tracer Summit BCUs and PC Workstations. Each BCU and PC Worksta-
tion must have a network card installed in order to operate on a Tracer
Summit network. The card can be either Ethernet or ARCNET.
Modular BCUs (BMTW) have the following characteristics that affect net-
work communication:
• Can exist on either a dedicated or a shared network (see Figure 66
and Figure 67 on page 148)
Note:
For shared Ethernet IP networks, the corresponding IP
addressing for modular BCUs (BMTW) and PC Workstations
must be coordinated with the building LAN administrator.
• Are compatible with only Tracer Summit Version 11 or higher ver-

sions of software
BCUs (BMTS) have the following characteristics that affect network com-
munication:
• Can exist only on a dedicated Ethernet or ARCNET network (see
Figure 66 on page 148)
• Are compatible with Tracer Summit software Version 5 or higher
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 147
Chapter 6 Network Wiring
Tracer Summit PC Workstations

The software version on a Tracer Summit PC Workstation determines the
type of network it is able to exist on.
Tracer Summit PC Workstations with Version 11 or higher software:
• Can communicate with BCUs (BMTS) and modular BCUs (BMTW)
• Can exist on either a dedicated BACnet network or a shared IP
network

BACnet—Device IDs
Each device (BCU, PC Workstation, non-Trane BACnet device) must
have a device ID. For the BCU (BMTS), the device ID is set via DIP
switch (S2) on the BCU logic board. The valid range for a DIP switch is 1
through 255. For the modular BCU (BMTW), the device ID can be set via
DIP switch (S2) on the BCU logic board or by software (using the IP Vali-
dation utility). The valid range for a DIP switch is 1 through 254. A DIP
switch set to 255 tells the BCU (BMTW) to allow a software set (“softset”)
device ID instead. The valid range of a softset device address is 1 through
4194303.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 149
Trane recommends that the first BCU device start at address 01 and that
all additional BCUs be incremented sequentially. For the location of the
BCU logic board DIP switch, see Figure 69.
In the PC, the device ID is set up as part of site configuration. If ARCNET
is used, always set the ARCNET address to match the device ID (see
Table 29 on page 151).

from 1 to 254 using the DIP switch or 1 to 4194303 when softset. To softset the address on a BCU (BMTW), set the DIP switch to
255 (all OFF), then use the IP Validation utility to edit the desired address.
• Cycle system power to reset the device ID configuration.
Network Topology
Topology refers to the various configurations of cables connecting BCUs,
PC Workstations, and hubs within a network. The LAN system supports
bus, star, and bus/star combination topologies. The following sections
describe the installation requirements for these types of topologies.

Bus Topology
Bus topology can be used only with coaxial cable. A typical bus topology
for an ARCNET LAN used with Tracer Summit is shown in Figure 70 on
page 153.

Note:
For further information on designing an Ethernet network,
refer to BAS-EB-70 (Tracer Summit for Windows and Ether-
net).
ARCNET LAN
In the bus configuration, use high impedance transceiver cards (those
ARCNET cards specified by Trane). For information about maximum
cable length and maximum cable distance between two devices on a com-
munication link, refer to Table 30 on page 152. Termination is provided
by installing a 93 Ω BNC terminator.
Star Topology
Star topology requires the use of hubs. A typical star topology for the
ARCNET LAN used with Tracer Summit is shown in Figure 71 on
page 154.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 153
Figure 71. Typical Tracer Summit (ARCNET) Star Topology
Ethernet LAN
Note:
refer to BAS-EB-70, Tracer Summit for Windows and Ethernet.
ARCNET LAN
Each coaxial cable must be terminated with 93 Ω terminators at the
devices, but not at the hub. For information about maximum cable length
and maximum cable distance between two devices on a communication
link, refer to Table 30 on page 152. The hub cards install into one of the
BCU card slots and use the BCU power for operation.
The maximum distance from a fiber-optic hub to a terminating device is
6,000 ft (1,829 m). This distance depends on the decibel loss of the com-
munication link. Refer to “Fiber-Optic Cable—Ethernet and ARCNET” on
page 7 for more information.
Combination Bus/Star Topology

To bridge a bus topology to a star topology requires a hub that acts as
both a terminator for the bus and a signal repeater for the network. It is
basically the same as the star topology, with the addition of devices set up
154 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
Network Topology
in the bus topology at each hub. A typical bus/star topology for an

ARCNET LAN used with Tracer Summit is shown in Figure 72.

BMTW-SVN01F-EN 155
Calculating Delays
Note:
There are no propagation delays in an Ethernet LAN.
In a conventional ARCNET LAN, the maximum propagation delay

between any two devices cannot exceed 31 µs (microseconds). When calcu-
lating propagation delays, the delay experienced from a hub or cable must
be known. Use Table 31 to calculate propagation delays that are usually
only a problem on geographically large systems.
Table 31. ARCNET LAN Propagation Delays
ARCNET Component Delay
Active hub 0.25 µs/hub

RG-62 coaxial cable 0.12 µs/100 ft (30 m)
62.5 µm (micrometer) 0.15 µs/100 ft (30 m)
fiber-optic cable
Although active hubs do not introduce significant delays, the arbitrary

rule is that you cannot cascade more than 10 active hubs in one network.
Assuming 1,450 ft (442 m) links between hubs and 1,450 ft (442 m) links
between the end hubs and devices, a 15,950 ft long (4,861 m) network
results with RG-62/U coaxial cable. This network has a propagation delay
of 19.14 µs, which is within the 31 µs limit for ARCNET. Contact Trane
for systems that exceed 31 µs.
The following example shows how to calculate a propagation delay. Fiber-
optic propagation delay is calculated in the same manner.
Total feet × delay = propagation delay

In feet:
15,950 ft × 0.12 µs/100 ft = 19.14 µs
In meters:
4,681 m × 0.12 µs/30 m = 19.14 µs
Ethernet Communication
An Ethernet LAN system used with Tracer Summit can support many
combinations of BCUs and PC Workstations. All devices (BCUs and PC
Workstations) in a LAN system must have standard Ethernet hardware
installed.
156 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
ARCNET Communication
Ethernet Network Interface Card

The Ethernet network interface card provides for a single coaxial cable or
twisted-pair wire. It is used for input to a BCU from a bus or star configu-
ration (see “Network Topology” on page 151).
When configuring the interface card, follow these guidelines:
• Use the manufacturer’s utility disk when installing the card on a PC.
• For the BCU, use an Ethernet card provided by Trane. This card is
set to the proper interrupt and memory settings.
Configuring an Ethernet Card

There are no jumpers or DIP switches to set on the Ethernet card, and it
is ready to configure as soon as you plug it in.
Installing an Ethernet Card in the BCU Panel
nCAUTION
Hazardous Voltage!
Turn off power at the BCU before installing the Ethernet card. Failure to
turn off power before servicing may result in human injury or damage
to equipment.
To install an Ethernet card in a BCU panel:

1. Choose one of the open slots in the ISA card bus.
2. Remove the screw from the card mounting bracket.
3. Insert the card into the slot and secure it in place with the mounting
screw.
An ARCNET LAN system used with Tracer Summit can support many
combinations of BCUs and PC Workstations. A coaxial input or fiber-optic
input ARCNET interface card is required in each BCU for ARCNET LAN
communication. In addition, a variety of ARCNET hub cards are avail-
able.
Use hub cards to do any of the following:
• Configure the LAN in a star topology (see “Star Topology” on
page 153)
• Extend the length of the ARCNET LAN
• Convert from fiber-optic cable to coaxial cable, or convert from coaxial
cable to fiber-optic cable
“Configuring an ARCNET Card” on page 159 defines all ARCNET cards
currently supported by the Tracer Summit BCU.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 157
Each PC Workstation on the ARCNET LAN also requires an ARCNET

interface card. The following sections briefly describe the ARCNET inter-
face cards and hub cards. For information regarding applicable ARCNET
interface cards and their installation, refer to “Installing an ARCNET
Card” on page 163.
Note:
Only ISA ARCNET cards may be used in the BCU because the
BCU does not have a PCI bus.
ARCNET Single Coaxial Input Interface Card

This ARCNET card provides for a single coaxial input. It is used for input
to a BCU from a bus or star configuration (see “Network Topology” on
page 151). This card is required even if a hub card is installed in the
BCU. It has DIP switches and address jumpers that should be configured
prior to installation in the BCU. This card always requires the use of a
tee connector. For a listing of the ARCNET single coaxial input interface
cards and their respective settings currently supported by Trane, see
“Configuring an ARCNET Card” on page 159.
ARCNET Single Fiber-Optic Input Interface Card

This card provides for a single input from a fiber-optic hub card. This card
is required even if a fiber-optic hub card is installed in the BCU. It has
DIP switches and address jumpers that should be configured prior to
installation in the BCU. For a listing of the ARCNET single fiber-optic
input interface cards (and their respective settings) currently supported
by Trane, see “Configuring an ARCNET Card” on page 159.
ARCNET Three Input Coaxial Hub Card

This ARCNET card provides a central point (hub) where you can link one
coaxial ARCNET link to up to two other coaxial links. You can configure
each of these coaxial links in a star or bus configuration. See “Network
Topology” on page 151 for further details. This card has address jumpers
that should be configured prior to installation in the BCU. For a listing of
the ARCNET hub cards (and their respective settings) currently sup-
ported by Trane, see Figure 73 on page 161.
The coaxial hub card does not connect the BCU to the LAN. You must
provide a separate ARCNET single coaxial interface card for this purpose.
The BCU merely supplies the hub card with power. For a list of the ARC-
NET single coaxial interface cards currently supported by Trane, see
Note:
Do not use tee connectors on any type of hub card. The coaxial
cable is connected directly to the BNC connector on the hub
card.
158 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
ARCNET Two Coaxial/One Fiber-Optic Hub Card

You can use this multi-purpose ARCNET hub card for these purposes:
• Use it as a hub for linking two coaxial links and one fiber link.
• Use it for converting between a fiber-optic cable and a coaxial cable.
This card does not connect the BCU to the LAN. You must provide a sep-
arate ARCNET single fiber-optic interface card or an ARCNET single
coaxial interface card for this purpose. The BCU merely supplies the hub
card with power. For a list of the ARCNET single input interface cards
currently supported by Trane, see Figure 73 on page 161.
Note:
card.
ARCNET One Coaxial/Two Fiber-Optic Hub Card

You can use this multi-purpose ARCNET hub card for these purposes:
• Use it as a hub for linking two fiber-optic links and one coaxial link.
• Use it for converting between a fiber-optic cable and a coaxial cable.
This card does not connect the BCU to the LAN. You must provide a sep-
arate ARCNET single fiber-optic input interface card or an ARCNET sin-
gle coaxial input interface card for this purpose. The BCU merely
supplies the hub card with power. For a list of the ARCNET single input
interface cards supported by Trane, refer to Figure 73 on page 161.
Note:
card.
Configuring an ARCNET Card

The following sections provide information about ARCNET card jumper
settings and DIP switch settings.
ARCNET Card Jumper Settings

When configuring an ARCNET card for use in a BCU, the I/O range is
always set to start at 02E0 and the IRQ is set to 2/9. See Figure 73 on
page 161 for setting jumpers for these configurations. When the card is
used in a PC, an alternate I/O range and an alternate IRQ may need to be
selected.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 159
Note:
1. The ARCNET interface card you have may not be shown in
the Figure 73 on page 161. However, the card is still func-
tional provided it is used on the same PC that the card was
originally installed in. Refer to the literature originally
shipped with the card for its jumper settings. Note that
ARCNET PCX-CXB cards do not work in Pentium class
PCs. ARCNET PCX20-CXB cards or newer should be used
with Pentium processors class PCs.
2. Only Trane-provided ISA ARCNET cards may be used in
the BCU because the BCU does not have a PCI bus.

Installing Coaxial Cable Connectors
Installing an ARCNET Card

The installation procedure for installing the ARCNET card into a BCU
panel applies to all of the cards discussed. For information on installing
an ARCNET card in a PC, refer to the PC manufacturer’s literature.
nCAUTION
Hazardous Voltage!
Turn off power at the BCU before installing the ARCNET card. Failure to
to equipment.
To install an ARCNET card into a BCU panel:

1. Choose one of the card slots in the BCU’s ISA bus.
2. Remove the screw from the card mounting bracket on the BCU.
3. Insert the ARCNET card into the slot.
4. Secure the card in place with the mounting screw.

Note:
RG-62 cables typically use two-piece connectors (as shown in
the following figures). RG-58 cables use three-piece connectors.
1. Cut off any excess cable, leaving two extra feet.

2. Push the small end of the crimp ferrule (see Figure 74) onto the end of
the cable.
Figure 74. Crimp Ferrule
3. Using the coaxial cable stripper, remove 1/2 inch of the outer jacket
from the end of the cable as shown in Figure 75.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 163
Figure 75. Removing Braid Shield From Cable
4. Fan the coaxial braid slightly and fold it back over the outer jacket as
shown in Figure 76.
Figure 76. Fanning Back the Coaxial Braid
5. Using the coaxial cable stripper, remove 7/16 inch of the center con-
ductor shield from the end of the cable as shown in Figure 77. If a
small plastic cord is present, remove it using a knife or small wire
cutter.
Figure 77. Removing Center Conductor Shield
6. Push the BNC connector body onto the cable.

7. Fan the braid around the connector body, and slide the crimp ferrule
over the braid and onto the connector as shown in Figure 78.
Figure 78. Installing Connector Body Assembly to Cable
8. With the proper crimping tool, crimp the ferrule onto the braid and
connector body.
164 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
9. Crimp the small end of the ferrule onto the cable. An example of a
completed coaxial cable termination is shown in Figure 79.
Note:
Different ferrules are required for the following:
• Plenum RG-62
• Non-plenum RG-62
• Plenum RG-58
• Non-plenum RG-58
Figure 79. Completed Coaxial Cable Termination
10. With an ohmmeter, make sure that the center conductor to BCU
chassis ground is greater than 2 MΩ (megohms). If it is less than
2 MΩ, determine the reason before continuing.
11. With an ohmmeter, make sure that the ferrule to BCU chassis ground
is greater than 2 MΩ. If it is less than 2 MΩ, determine the reason
before continuing.
12. With an ohmmeter, make sure that the center conductor to ferrule
connection reads greater than 2 MΩ.
• For ARCNET LAN: If the ohmmeter reads 93–105 Ω, the other
end has a tee and is terminated.
• For Ethernet LAN: If the ohmmeter reads 50–55 Ω, the other end
has a tee and is terminated.
• If the ohmmeter reads 2 Ω, make sure the other end is not con-
nected.
• If the ohmmeter reads 0 Ω, there is a mistake in the preceding
steps. Review these steps to determine the error.
13. To aid in terminating the other end of this cable, take the tee and ter-
minator shipped with this BCU and put them on this end of the cable.
Then, put the metal BNC, tee, and terminator in insulation to isolate
it from the BNC chassis ground.
14. Repeat this procedure for all other cables in this BCU.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 165
IP Installation Procedures
Before attempting to install Tracer Summit on an owner’s shared IP net-
work, review BAS-PRB004-EN, Tracer Summit BACnet/IP Network
Installations, for background information. Then follow the procedures in
this section for IP installation.
Tracer Summit also has an IP Validation utility and instructions for its
use located in its software. Access this utility by choosing Programs, then
Tracer Summit, then Advanced, and then IP Validation.
Note:
BCUs (BMTS) cannot operate on an IP network, so in this sec-
tion all references to BCU refer to the BCU (BMTW).
Preinstallation
Some planning is required before installing Tracer Summit on a shared
IP network. The owner’s IS staff who control the network will be able to
provide most of the information that you will need to proceed. Follow
these steps:
1. Meet with the owner’s IS staff. Discuss where BCUs and PC Worksta-
tions will be located. They will need to provide you with the following
for each BCU:
• Permanent IP address
• Subnet mask
• The UDP port (we prefer to use port 47808, but any other port is
acceptable)
• The IP address of the IP gateway/router
• Jacks and cabling for connection to their network
2. Request that the IS staff configure TCP/IP on each PC Workstation to
be used for Tracer Summit. The configuration can be whatever is pre-
ferred by the IS staff.
3. Determine if Tracer Summit will be set up as one site or as multiple
sites on the network. If it is a simple installation within one building,
then it will typically be a single site. If, however, the installation will
cover multiple buildings on one shared network, then each building
should be set up in Tracer Summit as a separate site. This will make
programming, operation, and troubleshooting of the system much
easier.
4. Determine if a BACnet/IP router is required. This is typically used to
connect BCUs (BMTS) or other non-IP BACnet devices to an IP net-
work.
5. Create your submittal and riser diagrams showing BCUs and PC
Workstations connected to the owner’s network.
166 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
Programming the Site

Tracer Summit sites on shared networks are programmed just like any
other site. However, there is some special setup information that must be
configured so that communications can occur between different portions
of the network. Follow these steps:
1. Use Tracer Summit to define the site in the Site Configuration editor.
2. From the Communications tab of the Site Configuration editor select
Configure.
3. In the Site Connection Wizard select BACnet/IP.
4. If there is a BCU on the local subnet, select Use local connection. If
not, select Use BBMD.
Note:
A BACnet broadcast management device (BBMD) is used to
facilitate low-level communications. On most sites, the BCU
will serve as a BBMD. However, it is possible for another BAC-
net device, such as a BACnet/IP router, to fill this function.
5. If you have chosen Use BBMD, enter the IP address of the BCU that
you will connect through.
6. Shut down Tracer Summit.
7. Start the Tracer Summit IP Validation utility. Access this utility by
choosing Programs, then Tracer Summit, then Advanced, and then IP
Validation.
8. Click on the Import button on the toolbar. This will allow you to read
the desired site into the utility.
9. Double-click on BACnet Network to select it. From the combo box,
change Network Type from Non-IP to IP.
10. For each BCU that will be on the IP network, click on the BCU’s
name in the tree view to select it and enter the IP configuration infor-
mation provided by the owner’s IS staff.
11. When all of the information is entered, select Validate from the Edit
menu or click the Validate button on the toolbar. This will automati-
cally assign one BCU on each subnet as a BBMD and create new sub-
nets as required.
12. Save the setup information by selecting Save from the File menu or
clicking on the Save button.
13. Create BCU labels by selecting Create Label File from the File menu
or clicking on the Labels button. These labels contain all of the BCU
IP configuration information and can be printed from any word pro-
cessing program.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 167
BCU (BMTW) Setup

BCUs (BMTW) can be used on either dedicated or shared networks. The
following configuration must occur before a BCU can communicate on an
IP network. Follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the BCU has an Ethernet card installed and is powered
up.
2. Connect a UPCM edit cable (P/N 3591 4260) with the appropriate
adapter (9-pin adapter: P/N 3591 4262 or 25-pin adapter: P/N 3591
4263) between the serial port on your laptop and the mini-monitor
port on the BCU.
3. From the IP Validation utility, open the file you created in “Program-
ming the Site” on page 167. Expand the tree view and click on the
BCU that is connected.
4. Select Configure BCU from the Edit menu or click the BCU Configu-
ration button.
5. Click the Download button.
6. Enter the Serial Port number that you are using to download the
information to the BCU in the BCU Connection dialog.
7. Click the Connect button to download the configuration.
8. Place the IP configuration label, printed in step 13 of “Programming
the Site” on page 167, inside the BCU for future reference.
9. Repeat this process for each BCU on the network.
System Checkout
Before attempting to download code and database information to BCUs,
you should verify that you have network and BACnet communications in
place. Communication problems can be mechanical or related to the net-
work or to software. These steps will help you determine if communica-
tion is working properly.
1. From a PC Workstation that is currently connected to the network,
start the IP Validation utility, and open the site file you created in
“Programming the Site” on page 167.
2. From the Edit menu select “Check BCU Comms” or click the BCU
Comms button on the toolbar.
168 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
3. Click the Ping button. If the BCU is setup properly for IP communica-
tions and the owner’s IP network is up, Ping will show how long it
took to communicate to the BCU from your workstation. A successful
test will provide a response in well under 1000 ms.
Note:
If this test fails, verify that the BCU is powered and connected
to the network. If so, ask the owner’s IS staff to verify the
connection.
4. If step 3 works properly, click the Who is button. This will send a
short BACnet message to the BCU. If this message comes back prop-
erly (with a response time well under 1000 ms), then you have proven
BACnet communications capabilities.
Note:
If this test fails (indicated by I Am Failed messages), first check
to see if the BCU has code in it. If it does not, you will see a
blinking letter C on the seven-segment LED display (see
Figure 69 on page 150 for the location of the LED).
If the BCU has code, then verify the BCU setup, including
addresses and all setup information. Typically, a failure results
from improper BBMD assignments. If BCU/BBMD setup
checks out, then ask the owner’s IS staff to verify the BACnet/
IP router’s ability to pass UDP on the designated port.
Setting Up the Broadcast Distribution Table

In order for communications to work across IP subnets, a table listing the
location of each BBMD in a site will need to be downloaded to each BBMD
in that site. This table is called a broadcast distribution table (BDT). This
table is automatically created by the IP Validation utility; however, it has
to be manually downloaded. To download the BDT, follow these steps:
1. From a PC Workstation that is connected to the network, start the IP
Validation utility by choosing Programs, then Tracer Summit, then
Advanced, and then IP Validation utility.
2. Open the site file you created in “Programming the Site” on page 167.
3. Select Configure BBMDs from the File menu or click the BDT Editor
button.
4. Verify that all of the BBMDs for the site are listed on the table by
clicking the BDT Editor’s Validate button. Refer to the online docu-
mentation if there is a discrepancy (BDT Mismatch) in the table.
5. Select Download. The table should be sent to all BBMDs. If the down-
load is not successful, an error will appear.
6. Exit the IP Validation utility by selecting Exit from the File menu.
7. Start Tracer Summit. The BCUs should receive their code and data-
bases, and communications should proceed the same as for a dedi-
cated network.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 169
Special Situations
There are several special situations that require additional configuration.
These are highlighted below.
Multiple Sites on a Single Shared Network

On a larger installation, many buildings may exist on a shared network.
In this case, you will typically program each building as its own site. This
can be easily accommodated. Follow these rules:
• Each BCU and PC Workstation on a site will require a unique device
ID. However, the device IDs may be re-used on other sites on the IP
network.
• Each BBMD in a site will require a copy of the BDT for the site. The
site BDT lists only the BBMDs for that site.
• In the rare instance of having more than one site on an IP subnet(s),
each site should use a unique UDP port number.
• Sites will send alarms into the PC Workstation’s event log regardless
of whether they are open or not.
• Selecting a site from the tree will automatically select and open that
site.
BACnet/IP Routers
Installations with BCUs (BMTS) or other BACnet devices that are not IP
capable will require the installation of a BACnet/IP router. Contact Trane
for more information on these routers. Follow these rules regarding
routers:
• The BACnet devices on each side of the BACnet/IP router (the dedi-
cated-network side and the shared-network side) require unique
BACnet network numbers. Additionally, all dedicated-network
BACnet devices must have the same BACnet network number and all
shared-network BACnet devices must have the same BACnet net-
work number. These numbers can be set up in site configuration.
• The router(s) will require IP configuration.
170 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
EIA-232 Communication
Connecting a Service Laptop Computer to an IP Network

In order to connect to an IP network, the laptop computer needs the
proper IP setup information. This information can vary depending on
where you connect on the network. This can be a particular challenge for
laptop computers that are used as service tools. Guidelines are as follows:
• The owner’s IS staff can provide details for how to connect to different
locations on the network. You may need to change the IP setup infor-
mation as you move around the building. There are special utilities
available to help manage this process. Contact Trane for details.
• You may wish to carry a small Ethernet hub. This will allow you to
connect to the network by temporarily installing the hub between the
network jack and the BCU.
Use EIA-232 communication for interfacing to non-Trane automation sys-
tems using the BACnet standard protocol. Serial connection for EIA-232
communication is via an EIA-232 communication card installed in one of
the three slots in the BCU’s ISA bus. For the location of the option card
slots, refer to Figure 2 on page 4.
When using EIA-232 communication, an ARCNET or Ethernet card is not
required, but is necessary for connection of the PC Workstation for pro-

BCU Modem Installation
The Tracer Summit BCU supports modem communication with a remote

PC Workstation. Communication is performed using the BACnet point-
to-point protocol at a maximum communication rate of 9,600 baud.
For remote communication capabilities, install a single internal modem
in one of the BCU option card slots (see Figure 2 on page 4).
Note:
Because modem specifications are subject to change, Trane sup-
ports only those modems specified by Trane. This ensures
proper operation and facilitates technical support if communi-
cation failures occur.
You cannot install an internal modem card and an EIA-232
communication card in the same BCU.
Note:
See “EIA-232 Communication” on page 171 for international
use with an EIA-232 card and code-compliant external
modems.
Modem Card Configuration

Modems that are factory-installed in the BCU have jumpers preconfig-
ured for operation with Tracer Summit. You must configure accessory
modems purchased from Trane prior to installation in the BCU. Inspect
the modem card to make sure the settings are correct.
Jumper Settings
Before installing the internal modem, inspect all jumper blocks for the
appropriate settings. Jumper block locations and the recommended
jumper settings for modems specified by Trane are illustrated in
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 175

Modem Function Settings

A modem installed in a BCU must first be configured through Tracer
Summit in order for it to answer incoming calls and to dial out alarms, if
set up for remote event routing. Some modems may include DIP switches
for configuring the modem functions; however, those settings are nor-
mally overridden through software configuration. Trane-supplied
modems are all set through software. Table 34 on page 177 provides a list
of the modem function settings configured through Tracer Summit when
a modem object is programmed for a BCU.

or two at a time, it may indicate that the BCU is overloaded.
During normal operation, the BCU will also show a repeating “dancing
dash” pattern on the display: bottom segment, middle segment, top seg-
ment, middle segment.
Standard sequences of the seven-segment LED display that appear dur-
ing startup and reset operations are described in “Startup Sequence Pro-
cedures” on page 203 and “BCU Reset Procedures” on page 203.

Startup Sequence Procedures
New BCU
This startup sequence is for BCUs that have not been programmed. Ser-
vice may be required if a sequence occurs other than as described. Con-
tact your local Trane representative.
8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, –C, Cd
When the download of code is complete, if the BCU DIP switches are all
turned on, the BCU will display –H. In this case, turn off power to the
BCU and set the switches to the desired device ID, as described in
“BACnet—Device IDs” on page 149.
When the download of code is complete, if the BCU DIP switches are set
to a valid device ID, the BCU will reset itself in order to verify the down-
loaded code. During this operation, the BCU will display the following
sequence:
8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, –P, Pd, “dancing dash”
Programmed BCU
This startup sequence is for BCUs that were programmed previously.
Service may be required if a sequence occurs other than as described.
Contact your local Trane representative.
8, 7, 6, 5, 0, “dancing dash”
BCU Reset Procedures

If the seven-segment LED display sequence does not follow the startup
sequence, it may indicate a failure of the BCU. Depending on the failure
mode and the status displayed in the seven-segment LED display, you
may need to reset the BCU. Refer to Table 36 on page 202 for LED codes.
There are four levels of reset for the BCU (listed in order of least to most
impact on the BCU):
1. Reset
2. Clear BCU RAM and Reset
3. Clear Database, RAM, and Reset
4. Clear Code, Database, RAM, and Reset
Except for the power off/on reset, the other reset procedures are typically
done by selecting BCU Reset/Restore from the Tools menu in Tracer Sum-
mit. All of the “Clear . . . Reset” procedures can also be done at the BCU
as described in the following subsections.
Note:
See Appendix B for BCU (BMTS) reset procedures.
Reset
On the BCU, toggle the power at switch S1 off and then back on.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 203
Clear BCU RAM and Reset

The BCU normally preserves the content of RAM through power failure.
RAM contains the current status of all BCU object trend data, events,
and alarms. In most cases, this is desirable. However, there are circum-
stances in which you may need to clear RAM. This is normally done from
the PC Workstation, as described in the System Programming guide.
RAM can also be cleared at the BCU as follows:
1. Turn off power to the BCU.
2. Set all DIP switches to on.
3. Turn on power.
4. The LED display should show 8, then E, and then E with the decimal
point flashing.
CAUTION
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the BCU code and database may be
cleared as well as its RAM.
5. As soon as the LED display shows E with the decimal point flashing,
turn off power.
6. Set the DIP switch to its proper position.
7. Turn on power. The LED display should show the following sequence:
8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, “dancing dash”
Clear Database, RAM, and Reset

Database contains the user programmed data, which consists of all BCU
objects, such as areas, VAVs, I/O, UCMs, trends, CPL, etc. See the defini-
tion of RAM in “Clear BCU RAM and Reset”.”
In most cases, you will perform this operation from the PC Workstation,
as described in the System Programming guide. However, this can also be
done at the BCU as follows:
1. Change the DIP switch S2 position 8 to Off.
Note:
When the BCU has code and detects a change in DIP switches
at S2, the BCU clears the current database and looks for a PC
Workstation from which to download a database that matches
the new device ID (corresponding to the settings at DIP switch
S2).
2. The LED display will show the following sequence:

J, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, –, P
3. Change DIP switch S2 position 8 back to on.
4. The LED display will show the following sequence:
J, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, –, P
204 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
5. The BCU will request a download of the database. When completed,

the LED will return to the “dancing dash” sequence.
Clear Code, Database, RAM, and Reset

Code consists of the BCU image software, which is similar to the BIOS in
a PC. See definitions of RAM in “Clear BCU RAM and Reset”” and of
database in “Clear Database, RAM, and Reset” on page 204.
In most cases, you will force a BCU to accept new code from the PC Work-
station, as described in the System Programming guide. However, this
can also be done at the BCU as follows:
Note:
You must have a PC Workstation connected, and that worksta-
tion must contain the appropriate version of BCU code.
1. Turn off power to the BCU.

2. Set all DIP switches to on.
3. Turn on power. The LED should display the following sequence:
8, E, E (with decimal point flashing for about 10 seconds),
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, -C, Cd, –H, “dancing dash”
4. Turn off power and reset the DIP switches.

5. Turn on power and observe the second display sequence described in
“Startup Sequence Procedures” on page 203.

Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting procedure will attempt to provide general checks

and troubleshooting procedures to resolve most common problems associ-
ated with a Tracer Summit BCU. Troubleshooting can generally be
divided into the following categories:
• BCU does not respond
• BCU locks up
• BCU does not communicate via modem
• BCU does not communicate with UCMs
• BCU panel mismatch error indicated by active panel checking
BCU Does Not Respond

This is a general problem that can be caused by a broad range of factors.
Use the following checklist for troubleshooting for this problem:
1. Verify that the BCU has the correct ac supply voltage.
2. Check for the proper device address on the BCU logic board.
3. Check for the proper address on the ARCNET card (if applicable).
4. Check that the BCU power switch is turned on.
5. Verify that the BCU LEDs sequence properly on power up. (See
Chapter 10, “BCU Operation and Communication Status.”)
6. Verify that the ARCNET card or Ethernet card LEDs show normal
activity, indicated by the green LED remaining steadily lit and the
yellow LED flashing.
7. Check the ARCNET or Ethernet cable connections. Check that the
correct cable type is being used. Verify that ARCNET tees and termi-
nators are good.
8. Perform a Clear Code, Database, RAM, and Reset using the BCU DIP
switches. Then repeat steps 5 and 6. See Chapter 8 for details.
Note:
See Appendix B for details for the BCU (BMTS).
9. If the above steps do not resolve the problem, contact a qualified

Trane service technician for service.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 207
Chapter 11 Troubleshooting
BCU Locks Up
This is a more specific symptom of a BCU that is not responding. In this
situation the BCU works most of the time but periodically locks ups and
stops responding. The following list describes situations that could cause
this problem and suggests solutions:
• A building power disturbance, such as that caused by electrical
storms, may affect BCU power in such a way that the BCU locks up.
Cycling power again on the BCU will normally clear this up. Repeat
occurrences of this type of problem would warrant installation of an
external device that protects against ac-power transients.
• If the BCU has a modem installed, a power disturbance can enter
through the modem line. Cycling BCU power will normally resolve
this problem. Repeat occurrences of this type of problem warrant
installation of an in-line, modem-line transient protection device.
• Strong EMI/RFI interference can lock up a BCU. Avoid using cell
phones and walkie-talkies within 6 ft of a BCU (unless the cell phone
is being used as a modem connection device for accessing the BCU).
• Programming the BCU (from a Tracer Summit PC Workstation) with
too many UCM and program objects can overload a BCU so that, dur-
ing periods of high activity, the BCU is not able to complete all tasks
and goes into a “Watch Dog Timeout” sequence. To avoid this prob-
lem, make sure to estimate the BCU memory usage with the BCU siz-
ing spreadsheet before connecting UCMs and programming the BCU.
As a rule of thumb, leave at least 15% memory headroom.
• BCUs that are programmed to route alarms/events to remote Tracer
Summit PC Workstations will lock up over time if the remote work-
station is not available to receive dialed out alarms or is not con-
nected periodically to harvest the alarms. Generally, this problem is
most prevalent when the BCU has been programmed to route alarms/
events to multiple remote PC Workstations that are not available to
receive or harvest the alarms frequently enough.
• Defective ARCNET, Ethernet, hub cards, and modems can cause the
BCU to lock up.
BCU Does Not Communicate Via

Modem
BCU modem communication problems fall into two general categories:
• Problems with the modem and phone line
• Problems with the BCU programming setup
208 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
BCU Does Not Communicate with UCMs
Problems with the Modem and Phone Line

The following presents guidance in proper modem configuration and
phone line connection:
• The BCU uses an ISA bus-style modem. BAS recommends that you
use only modems supplied by Trane for use in the BCU. The modem
must be hardware configured for Comm1 and IRQ4.
• You cannot use an EIA-232 card and modem card at the same time in
a BCU, even though you may have an open card slot available in
which to insert them.
• The modem phone line must be connected to the line connection port
on the modem rather than the telephone connection port.
• Connect a phone to the line, check for a dial tone, and verify that the
phone can make and receive calls.
• An in-line transient protection device may be needed on the phone
line to prevent transient electrical signals from affecting the modem.
Problems with the BCU Modem Programming Setup

Follow these guidelines for proper modem programming setup:
• The modem will not work at all until the BCU has been programmed
to have a modem object. Verify that the BCU has a modem object.
• If the phone line goes through a local phone system within the build-
ing, additional wait times and access numbers may need to be pro-
grammed into the phone numbers being used for dial out and remote
access.
• Verify that the correct phone number is being used when attempting
to dial into a BCU.
BCU Does Not Communicate with

UCMs
UCM communication problems can generally be divided into two main
groups:
• Communication failures on initial installation
• Communication failures that occur after initial installation
Communication Failures on Initial Installation

Failures that occur during the initial installation can generally be traced
to:
• Wiring errors, i.e., wrong polarity, shorts between conductors, open
wires, bad high-resistance connections, use of wire with too high
capacitance, too long total communication-link length (high resis-
tance), wrong connections at the BCU or UCM, etc.
• Communication failures caused by nearby strong sources of
EMI/RFI interference
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 209
• Incorrect UCM addresses

• Incompatible hardware or software versions of the UCM and/or of
Tracer Summit
• Wrong or defective UCM communication card at the BCU
• BCU site configuration not programmed correctly
Communication Failures that Occur After Initial

Installation
Failures that occur after successful communication following initial
installation can generally be traced to:
• Wiring problems, i.e., shorts or opens that develop from wire that is
damaged from either being pulled too tightly across sharp objects or
from building vibration
• Communication failures caused by nearby strong sources of
EMI/RFI interference that have been added since original wiring
installation
• UCM addresses reset incorrectly after UCMs have been serviced or
replaced
• AC-power disturbances (lightning, welding, etc.) that enter the UCM
communication link wiring and are strong enough to damage the
UCM communication card and/or connected UCMs
• Failures of a UCM communication card and/or BCU logic board
• Programming changes at the Tracer Summit PC Workstation that
alter the site configurations or UCM objects
BCU Panel Mismatch Error

The panel mismatch error is a result of active panel checking. Active
panel checking is a process by which the PC Workstation reads the type
of BCU that is connected for a given address. If the BCU hardware does
not match the BCU as defined in the Site Configuration editor, active
panel checking will discover the error. The Panel Mismatch error mes-
sage (Figure 94 on page 211) will explain the mismatch, and the Site Con-
figuration editor will be launched to allow you to resolve the error.
210 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
BCU Panel Mismatch Error
Figure 94. BCU Panel Mismatch Error Message
BCUs are described in a slightly different manner in the Panel Mismatch

error message and the Site Configuration editor. Table 37 shows how the
Panel Mismatch error message and the Site Configuration editor present
the three types of BCUs.
Table 37: BCU Descriptions
Panel Mismatch Error Message Site Configuration Editor
Modular BCU (BMTW), M1 Modular BCU (BMTW) with

Capacity: 1
Modular BCU (BMTW), M2 Modular BCU (BMTW) with
Capacity: 2
Tracer Summit BCU BCU (BMTS)
Possible solutions to the error are as follows:

1. If you have multiple BCUs on site, verify that the device ID of the
panel you are attempting to download matches the Site Configuration
address for that panel.
2. Check to see if the panel type in the Site Configuration editor
matches the panel that appears in the Panel Mismatch error mes-
sage. If it does not, change the definition of the panel type in the Site
Configuration editor.
3. If the Site Configuration setup for the panel matches the BCU hard-
ware, but you still get a panel mismatch error, then a hardware fail-
ure is possible. For example, if the hardware is a Modular BCU
(BMTW) with both standard capacity and high capacity cards
inserted, and Site Configuration is defined as Modular BCU (BMTW),
Capacity:2, and active panel checking sees a Modular BCU (BMTW),
M1, it is possible that the high capacity card is either (a) not seated
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 211
properly in the slot or (b) is defective. The solution is to properly seat

or change the failed hardware.

Setting DIP Switch

Addresses
A dual inline package (DIP) switch is a set of individual switches pack-

aged in a single assembly. The most common type has eight individual
switches. Each switch can be toggled to be open or closed. For a BCU to
communicate with a device, the DIP switch package of each UCM must be
set to a unique address. The address is derived from the positions of the
switches in the package.
A switch is either open or closed. Each switch position relates to a specific
numeric value or to a value of zero depending upon whether it is open or
closed. Most switch packages indicate open using the designation off or
open and indicate closed using the designation on or closed.
Calculate the address by adding the numeric values for each switch posi-
tion. When the switch is in its active position, use the numeric value; if
the switch is not in its active position, use the value zero. In some cases,
however, you must add the calculated number to a base number other
than zero to determine the actual address. Use Table A1 to locate these
numeric values and base numbers.
Unfortunately, there is no common method used to set these switches. In
some cases the position labeled 1 is the first position. In other cases the
position labeled 8 or 5 is the first position. In some cases the active state
of the switch is off, while in other cases the active state is on. It all
depends on the particular type of UCM that is being addressed. See
Figure 95.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 219
Appendix A Setting DIP Switch Addresses
Figure 95. Various Types of DIP Switch Packages
Using Table 38, you can calculate any address by knowing each position
value and whether on or off is the active state.
For example, use Table 38 to determine the address of a variable air vol-
ume (VAV) UCM version 3.2 controller with the DIP switch set as shown
Figure 96. Calculating DIP Switch Settings
VAV/UCM DIP Switch Package
Address = 1st value + 2nd value +3rd value + 4th value + 5th value + 6th value + 7th

BCU (BMTS)
This appendix provides information about hardware installation and

troubleshooting for the BCU (BMTS). The following topics are covered for
the BMTS model only:
• BCU component descriptions and layout diagrams
• UCM communication card installation
• Communication-link field wiring for the BCU
• A startup and troubleshooting sequence for the BCU
BCU (BMTS) Components

The BCU is a NEMA-1 rated enclosure that houses a single processor/
memory card with a terminator block (TB1). The BCU contains three
UCM communication cards slots and three slots for option cards supplied
by Trane, such as Ethernet cards, ARCNET cards, modem cards, or EIA-
232 communication cards for BACnet interface. These components are
shown in Figure 97 on page 224.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 223
Appendix B BCU (BMTS)
Figure 97. Tracer Summit BCU Component Layout
The BCU (BMTS) can also house an optional 24 Vdc power supply (Trane
part number 4020 0792), which is used for powering analog devices that
require 24 Vdc at 120 mA maximum power supply. These analog devices
include 4–20 mA or 0–10 Vdc humidity, pressure, and temperature sen-
sors. An optional 24 Vac 40 VA transformer (Trane part number
3580 6009) is required to provide ac power to the 24 Vdc power supply.
The locations of both the Trane 24 Vdc power supply and the Trane
24 Vac 40 VA transformer are shown in Figure 98 on page 225. The
transformer is mounted inside the power section of the BCU.

Installing UCM Communication Cards

in a BCU (BMTS)
You can install a card in any of the three modules on the BCU.
nCAUTION
Hazardous Voltage!
Turn off power at the BCU before installing the EIA-232 card. Failure to
to equipment.
To install a UCM communication card:

1. Align the card with the electronic components facing toward the bot-
tom of the BCU, and then slowly insert the card into the module at a
45-degree angle until the card is seated.
2. Slowly move the card from the 45-degree angle to 0 degrees (horizon-
tal), leaving the card perpendicular to the BCU logic board.
3. Secure the card using the two clips on each side of the module.

the BCU (BMTS)
All Tracer Summit communication-link wiring is low voltage Class 2 and
must be field-supplied and installed in compliance with NEC and local
codes. To prevent electrical noise interference, all communication-link
wiring must also comply with the requirements outlined in this section
for wire selection and individual link configuration. Fiber optic UCM
communication is also available where extreme distance, electrical noise
immunity, or building-to-building communication is required. See
Figure 100 on page 228 for an example of typical UCM-communication-
link wiring.

Startup and Troubleshooting Sequence for the BCU (BMTS)
Startup and Troubleshooting Sequence

for the BCU (BMTS)
BCU Power-up Sequence
The BCU logic board has two LEDs, CR16 and CR17, which are under
program control. In addition, two controllable LEDs, one red and one
green, are mounted on a bracket in the upper right corner of the enclo-
sure. All four LEDs are used to indicate various conditions during normal
BCU operation. They are also used during both the boot-up and power-
failure processes to indicate various diagnostic information.
Hardware reset causes both on-board LEDs and the off-board green LED
to light, and the off-board red LED to be unlit. This serves both as a lamp
test and as an indication that the BCU logic board has power.
The conditions shown in Table 39 may be most easily observed if
Ethernet/ARCNET, modem, and BACnet EIA-232 (if present) cables are
disconnected from the BCU before power is turned on.
Table 39. LED Power-up Sequences
Red Green CR16 CR17 Explanation
Off On On On Will occur for about one second immediately after power up. A
stop in this state usually denotes a missing, incorrectly
installed, or bad boot chip U18.
On Off On On Will occur briefly after power up. A stop in this state may
denote RAM failure or bad code in boot chip U18.
On On On On Unexpected interrupt. Hardware fault. This condition will per-
sist for approximately one second, at which time the Watchdog
Timer should cause a reset and restart the boot-up sequence.
On Off Off On This state will persist for several seconds while the BCU veri-
fies the CRC on its main code (BCU.IMG), and performs other
tests. A stop in this state may indicate RAM failure. A more
complete RAM test is done at this point, which may detect
errors not found earlier.
Off Flashing Flashing Off During normal operation, with or without a database, the
green code LED will flash at a slow rate; on for one second,
then off for one second. CR16 will flash rapidly, being on when
the processor is busy, and off when the processor is idle.
If no main code (BCU.IMG) is found or if the device ID DIP switches are

all on, the BCU will attempt to request code from a PC Workstation via
Ethernet/ARCNET. The sequences shown in Table 40 on page 230 may be
observed.
The continued quick flashing of the red LED, when the cable is connected,
indicates one of the following:
1. There is no PC Workstation connected to the Ethernet/ARCNET.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 229
Table 40. LED Power-up Sequences When No Main Code is Found or All DIP Switches are On
Flashing Flashing Off On The red and green LEDs alternately flash several times per sec-
ond, indicating either a) a missing, bad, or misconfigured Ether-
net/ARCNET card, or b) that the BCU is unable to program its
Flash EPROM.
These two conditions may be distinguished if the ARCNET cable
is not connected when the BCU is powered up. If the BCU alter-
nately flashes red and green without the Ethernet/ARCNET
cable connected, then the problem lies with the card.
Flashing Off Off On If the Ethernet/ARCNET cable is not connected and the card is
good, the red LED will flash quickly (about 3 times per second)
for a period of about 5 seconds as the BCU tries to send a request
for a code download. It will then slow to a rate of about once per
second, indicating that no Ethernet/ARCNET token has been
found. The appearance of the slow flash when the cable is con-
nected indicates that no token has been found on the cable. This
indicates either a cable problem, or that no other Ethernet/ARC-
NET device is connected to the cable or powered up.
2. There is a PC Workstation connected to the Ethernet/ARCNET, but it

is not running Tracer Summit software.
3. There is a PC Workstation running Tracer Summit software that is
connected to the Ethernet/ARCNET, but it either does not have a
copy of BCU.IMG or does not have a copy of BCU.IMG that matches
the hardware configuration of the BCU. For example, version 3.0
BCU.IMG cannot be sent to double-speed BCUs (blue board) or to
BCUs that have had the memory upgrade. Version 4.0 and higher
BCU.IMG cannot be sent to BCUs that have not had the memory
upgrade.
In some cases, even if a PC Workstation exists and has an appropriate
copy of BCU.IMG, it make take from several seconds to a minute before it
will respond to the BCU’s request.
IMPORTANT
At this point, if the BCU was forced into code-request mode by turning
all DIP switches on, the BCU has not yet erased either code or data-
base. Code and database are cleared only when the first block of code
is received from the PC Workstation.
If the DIP switches are not all on when the final block of BCU.IMG has
been burned, the BCU will start its power-up sequence from the begin-
ning, in order to verify that the code was correctly received and burned.
When the BCU is receiving code, the LED sequences occur as shown in
230 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
Table 41. LED Sequences When BCU is Receiving Code
On Flashing Off On When the BCU receives its first block of code from the PC
Workstation, the green LED will turn on for several seconds,
and then flash rapidly for several seconds. This indicates that
the BCU is erasing the Flash EPROM chips into which the code
will be burned. Three separate on/flicker sequences can be
observed—one per Flash EPROM chip. If a chip cannot be
erased, then the BCU will flash the red and green LEDs alter-
nately as described above.
Flashing Off Off On Once the BCU has erased Flash EPROM, the red LED will
flicker or flash as the BCU requests and receives additional
blocks of code from the PC Workstation and burns them into
Flash EPROM. If a chip cannot be programmed, then the BCU
will flash the red and green LEDs alternately as described
above.
Flashing Flashing Off On If the device ID DIP switches are all on when the final block of
BCU.IMG has been burned, the BCU will flash the red and
green LEDs together, several times per second. This is a nor-
mal condition. It serves as a warning that the BCU cannot
enter normal operation with the DIP switches all on. It will
persist until the BCU is turned off, the DIP switch changed,
and power is restored.
Effect of Cycling BCU Power

The effect of cycling power on the BCU is different than on other Trane
products such as the Tracer 100. Actions are as follows:
1. When power is restored, the BCU will go through the power up
sequence described above. In particular, it will verify that the main
code BCU.IMG is intact.
2. If the BCU determines that a complete power failure interrupt
sequence occurred, and that RAM is intact, then the contents of RAM
will be preserved. This includes the states of control vectors, trend
logs, and similar historical values. If the specified conditions are not
met, RAM will be cleared.
3. If an Ethernet card, ARCNET card, EIA-232 card, or modem has been
installed or removed during the power failure, RAM will be cleared.
4. All UCMs are scanned in order to acquire current input data.
5. Analog and Binary Input scan is enabled. Since the UCMs have
already been scanned, the values referenced by the Input Objects will
be current.
6. Certain special CPL routines execute in order to perform reset pro-
cessing. Applications may request outputs, but no outputs to UCMs
are actually performed.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 231
7. Normal application programs run. Applications may request outputs,

but no outputs to UCMs are actually performed. This allows compet-
ing applications programs to bid for control of various outputs, with-
out causing rapid changes in the physical output devices.
8. Once all application programs have run, outputs to the UCMs are
allowed, and outputs reflecting the current control states are sent to
all UCMs.
9. Once outputs have been sent to all UCMs, the BCU enters normal
operation.
BCU Reset Procedures

If the LED display sequence does not follow the startup sequence, it may
indicate a failure of the BCU. Depending on the failure mode and the
LED status displayed in the seven-segment LED display, you may need
to reset the BCU. Refer to Table 39 on page 229, Table 40 on page 230,
and Table 41 on page 231 for LED codes. There are four levels of reset for
the BCU (listed in order of least to most impact on the BCU):
1. Reset.
2. Clear BCU RAM and Reset.
3. Clear Database, RAM, and Reset.
4. Clear Code, Database, RAM, and Reset.
Except for the power off/on reset, the other reset procedures are typically
done by selecting BCU Reset/Restore from the Tools menu in Tracer Sum-
mit. All of the “Clear . . . Reset” procedures can also be done at the BCU
as described in the following subsections.
Reset
On the BCU, toggle the power at switch S1 off, then back on.
Clearing BCU RAM and Reset

In some cases, it may be desirable to clear the BCU’s RAM. This will be
done automatically after a power restoration if the following conditions
exist:
• The BCU’s code or database has been lost (refer to the following
sections).
• Corruption of the RAM is detected.
• The BCU did not complete its power failure interrupt sequence (for
example, if a Watchdog Timeout occurred, or the processor was reset
due to static discharge).
• The BCU had crashed before power was lost.
• An Ethernet/ARCNET, EIA-232, or modem card was installed or
removed during power down.
232 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
In some cases of improper operation, it may be desirable to force BCU

RAM to be cleared. If turning power off and on does not help, RAM may
be cleared using one of the following procedures:
• From the PC Workstation’s Utilities menu, select the BCU reset/
restore function. Select the reset level “Clear RAM and Reset.”
• Use the DIP switch.
The BCU normally preserves the content of RAM through power failure.
RAM contains the current status of all BCU object trend data, events,
and alarms. In most cases, this is desirable. However there are circum-
stances in which you may need to clear RAM. This is normally done from
the PC Workstation, as described in the System Programming guide.
RAM can also be cleared at the BCU as follows:
1. Turn the BCU off and disconnect the Ethernet/ARCNET cable.
Note:
You must disconnect the Ethernet/ARCNET cable. If you do
not, then the PC Workstation will “helpfully” wipe out the
BCU’s database and begin sending code when the BCU is pow-
ered up with its DIP switches on. You may need to do this if
clearing RAM does not resolve the problem, but simply clearing
RAM should be tried first.
2. Turn all eight DIP switches on.

3. Turn power on and wait until the red LED on the bracket at the
upper right begins to flash.
4. Turn the BCU off and restore the DIP switches to their original state.
5. Reapply power and see if the BCU comes up.
6. If all looks OK, reconnect the Ethernet/ARCNET cable.
Clear Database, RAM, and Reset

In some cases, a BCU’s database may become obsolete. For example, a
BCU used as a demonstration unit will typically have a variety of data-
bases loaded into it from time to time.
In other cases, a BCU’s database may become corrupted. In such a case,
clearing RAM will not restore normal operation, and the database must
be cleared and restored.
The BCU’s database may be cleared using either of the following proce-
dures:
• From the PC Workstation’s Utilities menu, select the BCU reset/
restore function. Select the reset level “Clear Database and Reset.”
• Use the BCU DIP switches.
Database contains the user programmed data, which consists of all BCU
objects, such as areas, VAVs I/O, UCMs, trends, CPL, etc. See the defini-
tion of RAM in “Clearing BCU RAM and Reset” on page 232.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 233
In most cases, you will perform this operation from the PC Workstation,
as described in the System Programming guide. However, this can also be
done at the BCU using DIP switches.
The reset from the PC Workstation should not be used to clear the data-
base from a BCU that contains an unknown database. When such a BCU
is connected to the workstation, the workstation will interrogate the BCU
about its database and upload any objects contained in the BCU that the
workstation does not know about. It will also send the BCU objects in the
workstation’s database. In this way, the PC Workstation and BCU data-
bases will tend to merge. This is a bad idea. Use the BCU DIP switch
method to clear an unknown database out of a BCU.
The database may be cleared from a BCU using the DIP switches as
follows:
1. Disconnect the Ethernet/ARCNET cable from the BCU.
Note:
You must disconnect the Ethernet/ARCNET cable. If you do
not, then the PC Workstation may see the temporary existence
of a BCU whose device ID is set by the state of the DIP switches
in steps 4 and 5. If this device ID matches any on the current
site, the PC Workstation will attempt to download that device’s
database to the BCU, possibly resulting in a merged and man-
gled database.
2. Verify that the green LED is flashing normally—on for a second, off
for a second.
3. With power still applied, change any one of the eight DIP switches.
Switch 8 is probably the best, as it will change the BCU’s device ID
into one unlikely to be used on the site.
4. Watch the red/green LEDs until the green one goes out and the red
one comes on. This signifies that the BCU has detected a changed
DIP switch and is clearing its database.
5. With power still applied, restore the DIP switch that was changed in
step 3. Try to complete this step within a few seconds.
6. Verify that the BCU comes up.
7. If all looks OK, reconnect the Ethernet/ARCNET cable.
Clear Code, Database, RAM, and Reset

When a new version of Tracer Summit software is released, it is some-
times necessary to replace the code in the BCU if a new BCU code image,
BCU.IMG, was included with the new PC Workstation software.
In some cases, for example, a BCU used as a demonstration unit, the ver-
sion of software present in a BCU may be unknown. Such software should
be replaced with the current version.
Code consists of the BCU image software, which is similar to the BIOS in
a PC. See definitions of RAM in “Clearing BCU RAM and Reset” on
234 BMTW-SVN01F-EN
page 232 and of database in “Clear Database, RAM, and Reset” on

page 233.
In most cases, you will force a BCU to accept new code from the PC Work-
station, as described in the System Programming guide.
The first option may not be available if changes were made to BACnet
communication between the old and new versions: the new PC Worksta-
tion software may not be able to talk to the old BCU software in order to
request that code be cleared. If such software changes are made, the new
installation CD would specify a procedure similar to the following:
Note:
You must have a PC Workstation connected, and that worksta-
tion must contain the appropriate version of the BCU code.
1. Disconnect all workstations except the one from which the reset will
be issued.
2. Upgrade the PC Workstation software. This will include a new ver-
sion of BCU.IMG.
3. Start up Tracer Summit. In Site Configuration, select the new BCU
image to be downloaded.
4. Next select Tools, BCU Reset/Restore, Select All, then select “Clear
Code/Database and Reset” and click the Reset button. This will
destroy the BCU’s code.
5. The new BCU.IMG will be sent to the BCUs.
However, this can also be done at the BCU as follows:
1. Turn off power at switch S1.
2. Disconnect the Ethernet/ARCNET cable.
3. Make a note of the address on switch S2.
4. Turn all DIP switches on S2 up or to the on position.
5. Turn on power at switch S1. The red alarm LED on the bracket will
flash twice per second and after about 10 seconds, slow down to once
per second.
6. With the red LED flashing either fast or slow, set the address for
switch S2 to the settings you noted in step 3.
7. Reconnect the Ethernet/ARCNET cable to a PC Workstation running
Tracer Summit.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 235
8. The green LEDs remain steadily lit shortly after connection of the
Ethernet/ARCNET cable. The LEDs will alternate between the green
LED remaining steadily lit and flashing three times before the red
LED begins to flash rapidly (about twice per second). Then, as the PC
Workstation begins to download code, the red LED begins to flash
rapidly and the Ethernet/ARCNET red or yellow LED begins to flash.
After about two to four minutes, the green LED lights and then goes
out. The red LED lights and then goes out, and finally, the green LED
begins to flash about once per second (normal condition).
IMPORTANT
The Clear Code, Database, RAM, and Reset function should rarely be
used. This reset level is predominately used when performing upgrades
or to salvage a BCU that won’t respond to lower reset levels.
Ethernet Card LEDs

Ethernet cards typically have two status LEDs, one green and one yellow.
• Solid green = normal
• Flashing yellow = Ethernet communication occurring
ARCNET/Hub Card LEDs

The ARCNET cards typically have two status LEDs, one red and one
green.
• Solid green = normal
• Flashing green = ARCNET reconfiguration occurring (indicating a
ARCNET LAN problem)
• Flashing red = ARCNET communication occurring with the BCU
Hub cards typically have two status LEDs, one red and one yellow.
• Solid red = link active
• Yellow off = normal operation
• Yellow on = indication of a network reconfiguration

Registration considerations
Critical Control System software has two options:
• Tracer Summit base system and Critical Control System. This option
has two authorization codes. One code, starting with E1154, is for the
base Tracer Summit system. The other authorization code, starting
with E1148 will activate the Critical Control System features.
• Critical Control System only. This option is for sites that already
have the base Tracer Summit system. The first five characters of this
authorization code are E1149. If you have this option skip steps 1-9
below.
To register Tracer Summit and Critical Control System software:
1. Click the Help menu and select About Tracer Summit (see
Figure 105).
Figure 105. Help Menu
2. From the About Tracer Summit dialog box click the Register Tracer
Summit button (see Figure 106).

7. At step 1, type the locking code and complete the worksheet in the
Registration Requirements dialog.
Figure 109. Registration Requirements
8. Follow the instructions to complete the registration using the base

Tracer Summit authorization code (E1154).
9. Click Finish.
10. The base Tracer Summit system features are now enabled. Use this
base Tracer Summit system software to create and configure all the
objects, devices, and points for the site. The base Tracer Summit sys-
tem should be used throughout the commissioning and check-out
phase of the operation.
IMPORTANT:
It is strongly recommended that you do not register the Critical Control
System authorization code until the site is finished and operational.
Once the Critical Control System authorization code has been regis-
tered, system changes and operator actions will require an operator
authentication dialog. This authentication process can be very cumber-
some and time-consuming during site creation and commissioning.
IMPORTANT:
Service technicians often have many different sites for many different
customers on their PCs. It is important to note that once the Critical
Control System authorization code has been registered, every site on
BMTW-SVN01F-EN 247
the PC, not just the FDA compliant facility, will require operator authen-
tication for changes to the system
After the site has been commissioned and tested, use steps 1-9 above to
register the authorization code for Critical Control System(E1148 or
E1149). This registration will activate all the special Critical Control Sys-
tem features. FDA compliance requires that system changes and operator
actions must be authenticated and retained in the audit trail database.
