Jobsite Storage
This unit is intended for indoor use only. To protect the unit from
damage due to the elements and prevent it from possibly becoming a
contaminant source for IAQ problems, store the unit indoors. If indoor
storage is not possible, the Trane Company makes the following
provisions for outdoor storage:
1. Place the unit(s) on a dry surface or raised off the ground to assure
adequate air circulation beneath unit and to assure that no portion of
the unit contacts standing water at any time.
2. Cover the entire unit with a canvas tarp only. Do not use clear,
black or plastic tarps as they may cause excessive moisture condensation and equipment damage.
Note: Wet interior unit insulation can become an amplification site for
microbial growth (mold), which may cause odors and health-related
indoor air quality problems. If there is visable evidence of microbial
growth (mold) on the interior insulation, remove and replace the
insulation prior to operating the system. Refer to the Inspecting and
Cleaning the Internal Insulation section on page 123 for more
information.

Installation
Considerations
Complete the following checklist before installing the unit.
o 1. Clearances
Allow adequate space for free air circulation, service clearances,
piping and electrical connections, and any necessary ductwork. For
specific unit dimensions, refer to the submittals. Allow clearances
according to local and national electric codes. See the following
section on Service Access and refer to Figure 3 on page 12 for
recommended service and operating clearances. Provide removable
panels for concealed units.
o 2. Structural Support
The floor should be strong enough to adequately support floor
mounted units. The installer is responsible to supply adequate
support rods for installation of ceiling units.
o 3. Level
If necessary, prepare the floor or ceiling to ensure the unit installation
is level (zero tolerance) in both horizontal axis to allow proper
operation.
Set the unit level using the chassis end panels as a reference point.
Do not use the coil or drain pan as the reference point since the coil
is pitched and the drain pan has an inherent positive slope to provide
proper drainage.
o 4. Condensate Line
A continuous pitch of 1 inch per 10 feet of condensate line run is
necessary for adequate condensate drainage.
o 5. Wall and Ceiling Openings
Recessed units only:
Refer to the submittal for specific dimensions of wall or ceiling
openings before attempting to install the unit.
Horizontal concealed units only:
The installation of horizontal concealed units must meet the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.) Standard 90A or 90B concerning the use of concealed ceiling spaces as
return air plenums.
o 6. Exterior
Touch up painted panels if necessary. If panels need paint, sanding
is not necessary. However, clean the surface of any oil, grease, or
dirt residue so the paint will adhere. Purchase factory approved touch
up epoxy paint from your local Trane Service Parts Center and apply.

o 2. Tighten unions adequately if unit has a factory deluxe piping
package.
o 3. Properly vent the hydronic coil to allow water flow through the
unit.
o 4. Set water flow to the unit properly if unit piping has the circuit
setter valve.
o 5. Check strainers (if supplied) for debris after applying system
water.
o 6. Install the auxiliary drain pan and route the main drain pan
hoses to the auxiliary drain pan on vertical fan-coil units.
o 7. Ensure all grille options are in place.
External Insulating
Requirements
o 8. Ensure the air filter is in place.
o 9. Set the damper position to allow the fresh air requirement on
units with a fresh air damper.
Note: Some circumstances may require the unit to run before building
construction is complete. These operating conditions may be beyond
the design parameters of the unit and may adversely affect the unit.
Insulate all cold surfaces to prevent condensation. Moisture mixed
with accumulated dirt and organic matter may create an amplification
site for microbial growth (mold) causing unpleasant odors and healthrelated indoor air quality (IAQ) problems.
The Trane Company recommends field-insulation of the following
areas to prevent potential condensate and IAQ problems:
1. Supply and return water piping connections
2. Condensate drain lines and connections
3. Fresh air intake duct connections
4. Discharge duct connections
5. Wall boxes

Piping Considerations
Before installing field piping to the coil, consider the following .
· All coil connections are 5/8 inch O.D. (or 1/2 inch nominal) female
copper connections.
· The supply and return piping should not interfere with the auxiliary
drain pan or condensate line. See Connecting the Condensate
Drain section on page 25 for more detailed information.
· The installer must provide adequate piping system filtration and
water treatment.
· Condensate may be an issue (fan-coils only) if field piping does not
have a control valve.
Refer to Figure 6 for supply and return header locations.
CAUTION: When using a field supplied piping

Note: For vertical fan-coil units, push the main condensate drain
hose and overflow condensate drain hose through to the inside of the
chassis end panel to prevent them from being burned when making
sweat connections. Be sure to pull the hoses back through and route
to the auxiliary drain pan when the end panel has cooled.
3. Solder the joint using bridgit lead-free solder (ASTM B32-89) to
provide a watertight connection. Avoid overheating factory soldered
joints when soldering field connections to the coil to prevent
leakage from occurring.
4. Insulate all piping to coil connections as necessary after connections are complete.
Note: Maintain a minimum distance of one foot between the reduction
fitting for the 1/2 inch diameter line and the fan-coil unit piping
connections.
Install the auxiliary drain pan, which ships in the accessory packet
CAUTION: In all steam coil installations, the con-
!
densate return connections must be at the low point of
the coil to ensure condensate flows freely from the coil
at all times. Failure to do so may cause physical coil
damage from water hammer, unequal thermal stresses,
freeze-up and/or corrosion.
1. Make piping connections to the steam coil as shown in Figure 7.
Cap the unused connection.
2. The coil is already pitched within the unit to provide proper pitch to
drain condensate out of the coil. Ensure that the unit has been
properly leveled. Refer to page 13 for unit leveling instructions.
3. Install a 1/2 inch, 15-degree swing check vacuum breaker in the
unused condensate return tapping as close as possible to the coil.
Figure 7. Steam coil header ports. The center port is the supply
connection. The return port is below the supply. The top port
must be closed off.
22 UNT-IOM-6
4. Vent the vacuum breaker line to atmosphere or connect it into the
return main at the discharge side of the steam trap.
5. Pitch all steam supply and return mains down a minimum of 1 inch
per 10 feet in the direction of flow.
6. Do not drain the steam mains or take-off through the coils. Drain
the mains ahead of the coils through a steam trap to the return line.
7. Overhead returns require 1 psig of pressure at the steam trap
discharge for each 2-foot elevation to ensure continuous condensate
removal.
8. Proper steam trap selection and installation is necessary for
satisfactory coil performance and service life. For installation, use the
following steps:
a. Locate the steam trap discharge at least 12 inches below the
condensate return connection. This provides sufficient hydrostatic
head pressure to overcome trap losses and ensure complete condensate removal.
b. Trane Company recommends using flat and thermostatic traps
because of gravity drain and continuous discharge operation.
c. Use float and thermostatic
traps with atmospheric pressure

Factory Piping
Package
Connections
Before installing water piping supply and return lines to factory
piping package, note the following items.
· All piping connections are 5/8 inch O.D. (1/2 inch nominal) female
copper connections.
Piping Considerations
Connecting Water Piping to
Factory Piping Package
· The fan-coil supply and return piping should not interfere with the
auxiliary drain pan or condensate line. See Connecting the
Condensate Drain section on page 25 for more information.
· The installer must provide adequate piping system filtration and
water treatment.
· If the unit has a factory deluxe piping package, the piping includes
a strainer with a 20 mesh size screen, which allows minimal
protection from debris. Therefore, clean the strainer regularly.
NOTE: Maintain a minimum distance of one foot between the
reduction fitting for the 1/2 inch diameter line and the fan-coil piping
connections.
1. The factory piping package ships with brackets to adequately
support the piping during shipment. Remove these brackets before
connecting water piping to the unit. See Figure 9.
2. Close the piping end valves to the fully open position to prevent
damage to the valve seat during brazing.
3. Remove the auxiliary drain pan, if it is in place, to prevent exposure to dripping solder or excessive temperatures.
4. Solder water piping connections to supply and return end
connections. Avoid overheating
factory soldered joints to
prevent the possibility of
leakage.
5. Insulate fan-coil piping to
auxiliary drain pan connections
and any piping that is not above
the auxiliary drain pan.
Figure 9. Remove the shipping
brackets which support the
factory piping package before
connecting piping.

Installing the
Auxiliary Drain
Pan
The auxiliary drain pan ships loose with a fan-coil unit with factory
piping. To install the auxiliary drain pan, insert the tabs, located on
the side of the drain pan, into the slots located in the chassis end
panel. Slide the pan into the narrow groove section to lock into place.
See Figures 10 and 11. Make sure the auxiliary pan is pushed all the
way into the fully locked position.
Note: The function of the auxiliary drain pan is to collect condensate
from the main drain pan and the factory installed piping package only.
It also provides a convenient field connection for the condensate
drain line for units without factory piping. Moreover, the auxiliary drain
pan may not be adequate to collect condensate from a field-installed
piping package. Apply additional insulation as needed.
Connecting the
Condensate Drain
Figure 10. Insert the auxiliary
drain pan tabs into these slots
in the fan-coil chassis end
panel.
1. De-burr the pipe end before making the connection to the drain pan.
2. Connect a 7/8 inch O.D. copper pipe or tube, with a 0.20 inch wall
thickness, to the auxiliary drain pan. This should be a mechanical
connection that allows easy removal of the auxiliary drain pan when
servicing the piping end pocket.
3. Slide the copper pipe over the drain pan nipple and tighten the
collar on the pipe with a hose clamp (installer supplied).
Maintain a continuous drain line pitch of 1 inch per 10 feet of drain line
run to provide adequate condensate drainage. Extend the drain line
straight from the drain pan a minimum distance of 6 inches before
making any turns. The installer must provide proper support for the
drain line to prevent undue stress on the auxiliary drain pan.
Install a secondary overflow drain line if necessary by punching out
the overflow drain nipple on the auxiliary drain pan. Next, place a 3/8

If the unit does not have a factory piping package, the factory attaches the sensor and coiled lead wires to the piping side end panel.
The installer should attach the sensor parallel to and in direct contact
with the supply water pipe.
Note: The installer is responsible to ensure the changeover sensor is
installed in a location that can sense active water temperature.
Otherwise, the unit may fail to sense the correct operating mode and
disable temperature control.
26 UNT-IOM-6
When using field supplied 3-way valves, position the changeover
sensor upstream of the valve on the supply water pipe.
Recommendation: When using field supplied 2-way control
valves, attach the changeover sensor in a location that will
detect an active water temperature. The unit must always be

system water temperature,
regardless of the control valve
position.
Note: The maximum length of
the automatic changeover wire
cannot exceed 10 feet from the
control panel. If the sensor
extends beyond the unit chassis,
use shielded conductors to
eliminate radio frequency
interference (RFI).

Automatic Electric
Heat Lockout
Switch (Fan-coil)
Two-pipe fan-coil units with auxiliary electric heat have an automatic
electric heat lockout switch that disengages the electric heat when
hydronic heat enables. If the unit has a factory piping package and
electric heat, the factory attaches the switch to the supply water
pipe. When the lockout switch detects the supply water temperature
above 95° F, it disengages the
electric heat. This eliminates
electric heat and hydronic heat
working simultaneously.
If the fan-coil unit does not have
a factory piping package, the
factory attaches the switch and
coiled lead wires to the piping
side end panel. The installer
should position the lockout
switch on the supply water line of
the unit by sliding its spring
connector over the pipe.
See Figure 15.
Figure 15. Units with electric
heat have an electric heat
lockout switch on the supply
water pipe.

Venting the Hydronic
Coil
The hydronic coil contains a vent, either manual or automatic, to
release air from the unit. This vent is not sufficient for venting the
water piping system in the building.
Locate the coil air vent on the piping side, above the coil connections
on the unit. Perform the following steps to vent the coil after installing
the unit. See Figure 16.
1. Pressurize the building piping system with water and vent any
trapped air at system vents.
2. For units with manual air vents, back the set screw out to expel air
from the unit and then re-tighten the set screw.
The automatic air vent should require no adjustment for the coil to
vent. However, if the coil does not vent immediately, unscrew the outer
portion of the fitting to expel air from the port.
If debris has become trapped in the vent, completely remove the outer
portion of the fitting and clean.
Figure 16. The hydronic coil air vent is above the coil
connections. A horizontal unit is on the left and a vertical on
the right.

Balancing The Manual
Circuit Setter Valve
The manual circuit setter valve is an optional end valve supplied on
the return pipe of the factory piping package. The valve allows the
operator to regulate water flow through the hydronic coil, balance the
water flow through the unit with other units in the piping system, and
serves as a shutoff or end valve. See Figure 17.
Follow the procedure below to set maximum water flow through the
coil.
1. Establish water flow through the coil. Perform an open override of
the valve if the control valve is closed to the coil, either manually or

If the piping package has 2-position, normally closed valves:
Drive open the valve using a 24V signal.
If the piping package has 2position, normally open

the full open position.
2. For presetting, use the appropriate valve curve shown in Figure 19
on page 30 to determine which setting is necessary to achieve the
appropriate pressure drop.
3. Carefully remove the Schrader pressure port connection caps on
the manual circuit setter, since they will be at the same temperature
as the pipeline.
4. Bleed all air from the hoses and meter before reading the pressure
drop. Refer to the gauge operating instructions.
5. Adjust the circuit setter valve by turning the valve stem until the
appropriate pressure drop is achieved. See Figure 18 on page 30.
6. After achieving the proper setting, slightly loosen the two socket
head cap screws and rotate the memory stop around until it
touches the back side of the indicator. Then tighten the screws to
UNT-IOM-6 29
securely set the open memory position. The memory stop indicates
the last set open position.
7.If using a 3-way valve: close the control valve to the coil, with the
differential pressure meter still
connected. This will divert flow to
the bypass side of a 3-way valve.
Adjust the balancing fitting to
obtain the same pressure drop
across the circuit setter valve as
in step 2 when the control valve
was open to the coil.

Balancing The Automatic Circuit Setter
Valve
The automatic flow valve is an
optional end valve on the return of
the factory piping package.
See Figure 20. The valve regulates water flow through the coil
to a specific (gpm) flow rate, as
ordered by the customer.
The automatic flow valve controls
to the specified flow rate, provided that the pressure drop
across the valve is within a
certain range. To verify that the
valve is operating properly, remove the protective caps from the P/T
ports and measure the pressure drop across the valve with a differential pressure meter. Carefully remove the P/T port connection caps,
since they will be at the same temperature as the pipeline. The
reading should be within the given ranges in Table 2. If the pressure
drop is not within the ranges listed, the valve will not control water
flow. If the valve orifice becomes clogged with debris, remove water
from piping and then remove the cap of the valve body and push on
the piston to dislodge any foreign matter. If this is not successful,
remove the cartridge and clean.
Replace the cartridge in the field without breaking the piping line to
furnish a higher or lower gpm. To do this, remove the water from the
system. Remove the cap assembly containing the plug from the valve
body. Grasp the cartridge by the piston to remove. Install a different
spring if the pressure drop range of the valve is being changed also.
UNT-IOM-6 31
Duct Connections
The units airflow configuration varies dependent on the model and
options ordered. A one-inch duct collar is provided on units with a
ducted return and/or discharge to attach ductwork to the unit.
The Trane Company recommends using galvanized sheet metal
ductwork with fan-coil and cabinet heater units. Slide the sheetmetal
duct over the duct collar flange of the unit, seal the joint and fasten
with sheetmetal screws.
Note: Do not run screws through the removable front panel on concealed units.
Install all air ducts according to National Fire Protection Association
standards for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating
Systems (NFPA 90A and 90B).
Ductwork
Recommendations
Follow the general recommendations listed below when installing
ductwork for the unit.
· Discharge ductwork should run in a straight line, unchanged in size
or direction, for a minimum equivalent distance of 3 fan diameters
from the unit (approximately 20 inches).
· When making duct turns and transitions avoid sharp turns and use
proportional splits, turning vanes, and air scoops when necessary.
· When possible, construct, and orient supply ductwork turns in the
same direction as the fan rotation.

Electrical
Grounding
Restrictions
All sensor and input circuits are normally at or near ground (common)
potential. When wiring sensors and other input devices to the Tracer
ZN.010, ZN.510, ZN.520 or TUC, avoid creating ground loops with
grounded conductors external to the unit control circuit. Ground loops
can affect the measurement accuracy of the controller.
CAUTION: Unit transformer IT1 provides power to
!
fan-coil unit only. Field connections to the transformer
IT1 may create immediate or premature unit component
failure.
All input/output circuits (except isolated relay contacts and optically
isolated inputs) assume a grounded source, either a ground wire at
the supply transformer to control panel chassis, or an installer
supplied ground.
Note: Do not connect any sensor or input circuit to an external ground
connection.

Wall Mounted
Control
Interconnection
Wiring
The installer must provide interconnection wiring to connect wall
mounted devices such as a fan mode switch or zone sensor module.
Refer to the unit wiring schematic for specific wiring details and pointto-point wiring connections. Dashed lines indicate field wiring on the
unit wiring schematics. All interconnection wiring must conform to
NEC Class 2 wiring requirements and any state and local requirements. Refer to Table 3 for the wire size range and maximum wiring
distance for each device.
Recommendation: Do not bundle or run interconnection wiring
in parallel with or in the same conduit with any high-voltage
wires (110V or greater). Exposure of interconnection wiring to
high voltage wiring, inductive loads, or RF transmitters may
cause radio frequency interference (RFI). In addition, improper
separation may cause electrical noise problems. Therefore, use
shielded wire (Beldon 83559/83562 or equivalent) in applications
that require a high degree of noise immunity. Connect the shield
to the chassis ground and tape at the other end.

Installing Wall Mounted Controls
Wall mounted controls, which include the fan mode switch and the
zone sensor module, ship loose inside the unit accessory bag.
Position the controller on an inside wall 3 to 5 feet above the floor and
and at least 18 inches from the nearest outside wall. Installing the
controller at a lower height may give the advantage of monitoring the
temperature closer to the zone, but it also exposes the controller to
airflow obstructions. Ensure that air flows freely over the controller.
Avoid mounting the controller in an area subject to the following
conditions:
· Dead spots such as behind doors or in corners that do not allow
free air circulation.
· Air drafts from stairwells, outside doors, or unsectioned hollow
walls.
· Radiant heat from the sun, fireplaces, appliances, etc.

Manual Output Test
Procedure
The purpose of the manual output test sequence is to verify output
and end device operation. Use the manual output test to:
· Verify output wiring and operation without using Rover,
service tool.
· Force the water valve to open and balance the hydronic system.
Note: The manual output test is not an automatic cycle. You must
press the Test button to proceed through each step.
The controller observes all diagnostics that occur during the test
sequence. Although an automatic diagnostic reset sequence exists
as part of the controllers normal operation, the automatic diagnostic
reset feature is not active during the test sequence.
If left in an individual test step, the controller remains in test mode
for 60 minutes and then exits to normal operation.
Many service calls are due to unit diagnostics. The test sequence
resets unit diagnostics and attempts to restore normal unit operation
prior to testing the outputs. If the diagnostics remain after a reset, the
STATUS LED indicates the diagnostic condition is still present (two
blinks). See the Green STATUS LED section in Table 11 on page 47.

Priority Level: Diagnostics are listed in order from highest to lowest priority. The controller senses and
records each diagnostic independently of other diagnostics. It is possible to have multiple diagnostics
present simultaneously. The diagnostics affect unit operation according to priority level.
Latching: A latching diagnostic requires a manual reset of the controller; while a non-latching diagnostic
automatically resets when the input is present and valid.
Enabled: End device is allowed to run if there is a call for it to run.
Disabled: End device is not allowed to run even if there is a call for it to run.
No Action: The diagnostic has no affect on the end device.

Resetting
Diagnostics
Automatic Reset by
the Controller
There are four ways in which diagnostics are reset:
1. Automatic reset by the controller
2. By initiating a manual output test at the controller
3. By cycling power to the controller
4. Through Rover, Tranes service tool
The controller includes an automatic diagnostic reset function which
attempts to automatically restore the unit when a low temperature
diagnostic occurs.
Note: The controller implements the automatic diagnostic reset
function only once every 24 hours. For the controller to increment the
24 hour timer, you must maintain power to the controller. Cycling
power resets all timers and counters.
After the controller detects the first special diagnostic, the unit waits
30 minutes before invoking the automatic diagnostic reset function.
The automatic diagnostic reset function clears the special diagnostic
and attempts to restore the controller to normal operation. The
controller resumes normal operation until another diagnostic occurs.
Note: The automatic diagnostic reset function does not operate during
the manual output test sequence.
If a special diagnostic occurs within 24 hours after an automatic
diagnostic reset, the controller must be manually reset. Other possible methods of resetting diagnostics are described in the sections
that follow.

After removing and reapplying the 24 VAC power from the board, the
unit cycles through a power-up sequence. By default, the controller
attempts to reset all diagnostics at power-up. Diagnostics present at
power-up and those that occur after power-up are handled according
to Table 14 on page 50.

Troubleshooting
Table 15. Fan Outputs do not Energize
Probable CauseExplanation
Random startAfter power-up, the controller always observes a random start that varies
observedbetween 0 and 25 seconds. The controller remains off until the random start
time expires.
Power-up control waitWhen power-up control wait is enabled (non-zero time), the controller remains
off until one of two conditions occurs:
1. The controller exits power-up control wait once it receives communicated
information.
2. The controller exits power-up control wait once the power-up control wait
time expires.
Cycling fan operationWhen the fan mode switch is in the auto postion, the unit fan cycles off when
there is no call for heating or cooling. The heating/cooling sources cycle on or
off periodically with the unit fan to match the capacity according to pulse-widthmodulation (PWM) logic.
Unoccupied operationThe fan cycles with capacity when the unit is in unoccupied mode. This occurs
even if the unit is in continuous fan operation. While unoccupied, the fan cycles
on or off with heating/cooling to provide varying amounts of heating or cooling to
the space. to match the capacity according to pulse-width-modulation
(PWM) logic.
Fan mode offWhen using the local fan mode switch to determine the fan operation, the off
position controls the unit fan to off.
Requested mode: offIt is possible to communicate the operating mode (such as off, heat, and
cool) to the controller. When off is communicated to the controller, the unit

Tracer® ZN.520 is a communicating or standalone device. It is easily
accessible in the control end panel for service. The control end panel
is on the end opposite the piping.
Sequence of Operations
OFF: Fan is off; control valve options and fresh air damper options
close. The low air temperature detection option is still active.
Auto: Fan speed control in the auto setting allows the modulating (3wire floating point) or 2position control valve option and three-speed
fan to work cooperatively to meet precise capacity requirement, while
minimizing fan speed ( motor/energy/acoustics ) and valve position
(pump energy, chilled water reset ). As the capacity requirement
increases at low fan speed, the water valve opens. When the low fan
speed capacity switch point is reached, the fan switches to medium
speed and the water valve repositions to maintain an equivalent
capacity. The reverse sequence takes place with a decrease in
required capacity.

ZN.520 operates the fan in the following modes:
Tracer® ZN.520
Occupied
Unoccupied Mode
When the controller is in the occupied mode, the unit attempts to
maintain the space temperature at the active occupied heating or
cooling setpoint, based on the measured space temperature, the
discharge air temperature, the active setpoint, and the proportional/
integral control algorithm. The modulating control algorithm used
when occupied or in occupied standby is described in the following
sections. Additional information related to the handling of the controller setpoints can be found in the previous Setpoint operation section.
When the controller is in the unoccupied mode, the controller attempts to maintain the space temperature at the stored unoccupied
heating or cooling setpoint, based on the measured space temperature, the active setpoint and the control algorithm, regardless of the
presence of a hardwired or communicated setpoint. Similar to other
configuration properties of the controller, the locally stored unoccupied setpoints can be modified using Rover service tool.
In unoccupied mode, a simplified zone control algorithm is run. During
the cooling mode, when the space temperature is above the cool
setpoint, the primary cooling capacity operates at 100%. If more
capacity is needed, the supplementary cooling capacity turns on (or
opens to 100%). During the heating mode, when the space temperature is below the heat setpoint, the primary heating capacity turns on.
All capacity is turned off when the space temperature is between the
unoccupied cooling and heating setpoints. Note that primary heating
or cooling capacity is defined by unit type and whether heating or
cooling is enabled or disabled. For example, if the economizer is
enabled and possible, it will be the primary cooling capacity. If
hydronic heating is possible, it will be the primary heating capacity.
Occupied Standby Mode
The controller can be placed into the occupied standby mode when a
communicated occupancy request is combined with the local
(hardwired) occupancy binary input signal. When the communicated
occupancy request is unoccupied, the occupancy binary input (if
present) does not affect the controllers occupancy. When the
communicated occupancy request is occupied, the controller uses
the local occupancy binary input to switch between the occupied and
occupied standby modes.
During occupied standby mode, the controllers economizer damper
position goes to the economizer standby minimum position. The
economizer standby minimum position can be changed using Rover
service tool.
In the occupied standby mode, the controller uses the occupied

standby cooling and heating setpoints. Because the occupied
standby setpoints typically cover a wider range than the occupied
setpoints, the Tracer
heating and cooling the space. Also, the outdoor air economizer
damper uses the economizer standby minimum position to reduce
the heating and cooling demands.
When no occupancy request is communicated, the occupancy binary
input switches the controllers operating mode between occupied and
unoccupied. When no communicated occupancy request exists, the
unit cannot switch to occupied standby mode.
The controller can be placed in occupied bypass mode by either
communicating an occupancy request of Bypass to the controller or
by using the timed override On button on the Trane zone sensor.
When the controller is in unoccupied mode, you can press the On
button on the zone sensor to place the controller into occupied
bypass mode for the duration of the bypass time (typically 120
minutes).
®
ZN.520 controller reduces the demand for
Occupancy Sources
There are four ways to control the controllers occupancy:
Communicated request (usually provided by the building automation
system or peer device)
By pressing the zone sensors timed override On button
Occupancy binary input
Default operation of the controller (occupied mode)
A communicated request from a building automation system or
another peer controller can change the controllers occupancy.
However, if communication is lost, the controller reverts to the default
operating mode (occupied) after 15 minutes (configurable, specified
by the receive heartbeat time), if no local hardwired occupancy
signal exists.
A communicated request can be provided to control the occupancy of
the controller. Typically, the occupancy of the controller is determined
by using time-of-day scheduling of the building automation system.
The result of the time-of-day schedule can then be communicated to
the unit controller.

During the cooling mode, the Tracer
ZN.520 controller attempts to
maintain the space temperature at the active cooling setpoint. Based
on the controllers occupancy mode, the active cooling setpoint is
one of the following:
Occupied cooling setpoint
Occupied standby cooling setpoint
Unoccupied cooling setpoint
The controller uses the measured space temperature, the active
cooling setpoint, and discharge air temperature along with the control
algorithm to determine the requested cooling capacity of the unit (0100%). The outputs are controlled based on the unit configuration and
the required cooling capacity. To maintain space temperature control,
®
the Tracer
ZN.520 cooling outputs (modulating hydronic valve, 2position hydronic valve, or outdoor air economizer damper) are
controlled based on the cooling capacity output.
The cooling output is controlled based on the cooling capacity. At 0%
capacity, all cooling capacities are off and the damper is at minimum
position. Between 0 and 100% capacity, the cooling outputs are
controlled according to modulating valve logic (modulating valves) or
cycled on (2-position valves). As the load increases, modulating
outputs open further and binary outputs are energized longer. At
100% capacity, the cooling valve or damper is fully open (modulating
valves) or on continuously (and 2-position valves).
Unit diagnostics can affect fan operation, causing occupied and
occupied standby fan operation to be defined as abnormal. Refer to
the Troubleshooting section for more information about abnormal fan
operation.
64 UNT-IOM-6
Tracer® ZN.520
The Tracer® ZN.520 controller operates the supply fan continuously
when the controller is in the occupied and occupied standby modes,
for either heating or cooling. The controller only cycles the fan off with
heating and cooling capacity in the unoccupied mode.
The economizer is used for cooling purposes whenever the outdoor
temperature is below the economizer enable setpoint and there is a
need for cooling. The economizer is used first to meet the space
demand, and other forms of cooling are used if the economizer
cannot meet the demand alone. See modulating outdoor air damper
operation for additional information.
Discharge Air Tempering
Heating Operation
Cascade cooling control initiates a discharge air tempering function if
the discharge air temperature falls below the discharge air temperature control low limit, all cooling capacity is at minimum, and the
discharge control loop determines a need to raise the discharge air
temperature. The controller then provides heating capacity to raise
the discharge air temperature to its low limit.
The discharge air tempering function enables when cold outdoor air is
brought in through the outdoor air damper, causing the discharge air
to fall below the discharge air temperature control low limit. The
controller exits the discharge air tempering function when heat
capacity has been at 0% for five minutes.
®
During heating mode, the Tracer
maintain the space temperature at the active heating setpoint. Based
on the occupancy mode of the controller, the active heating setpoint
is one of the following:
Occupied heating
Occupied standby heating
Unoccupied heating
During dehumidification in the heating mode, the controller adjusts
the heating setpoint up to the cooling setpoint. This reduces the
relative humidity in the space with a minimum of energy usage.
The controller uses the measured space temperature, the active
heating setpoint, and discharge air temperature, along with the
control algorithm, to determine the requested heating capacity of the
unit (0-100%). The outputs are controlled based on the unit configuration and the required heating capacity.

The heating output is controlled based on the heating capacity. At 0%
capacity, the heating output is off continuously. Between 0 and 100%
capacity, the heating output is controlled according to modulating
valve logic (modulating valves) or cycled on (2-position valves). As the

off speeds with heating/cooling during the unoccupied mode. When in
the occupied mode or occupied standby mode and the fan speed is
set at the high, medium, or low position, the fan runs continuously at
the selected speed. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for more
information on abnormal fan operation.
ZN.520 fan output(s) normally run continuously during the
Fan Mode Operation
When the units supply fan is set to auto, the controllers configuration determines the fan speed when in the occupied mode or occupied standby mode. The fan runs continuously at the configured
heating fan speed or cooling fan speed. For all fan speed selections
except off, the fan cycles off during unoccupied mode.
The economizer outdoor air damper is never used as a source of
heating. Instead, the economizer damper (when present) is only used
for ventilation; therefore, the damper is at the occupied minimum
position in the occupied mode. The damper control is primarily
associated with occupied fan operation.
®
For multiple fan speed applications, the Tracer
offers additional fan configuration flexibility. Separate default fan
speeds for heating and cooling modes can be configured. The fan
runs continuously for requested speeds (off, high, medium, or low).
When the fan mode switch is in the Auto position or a hardwired fan
mode input does not exist, the fan operates at the default configured
speed. See Table 21 on page 67 for default fan configuration for heat
and cool mode. During unoccupied mode, the fan cycles between
high speed and off with heating and cooling fan modes. If the requested speed is off, the fan always remains off.
During dehumidification, when the fan is on Auto, the fan speed can

fan cycles between high speed and off in the unoccupied mode only.
The controllers cascade control algorithm requires continuous fan
operation in the occupied mode.
When a heating output is controlled off, the Tracer
automatically holds the fan on for an additional 30 seconds. This 30second delay gives the fan time to blow off any residual heat from the
heating source, such as a steam coil. When the unit is heating, the
fan off delay is normally applied to control the fan; otherwise, the fan
off delay does not apply.

Heating or Cooling Required
UNT-IOM-6 69
The entering water temperature value is useful to the unit controller
only when heating or cooling is required. The entering water temperature must be five degrees above the space temperature for hydronic
heating and five degrees below the space temperature for hydronic
cooling. When water flows normally and frequently through the coil,
the controller does not invoke the sampling function because the
water temperature is satisfactory for the desired heating or cooling.
The controller invokes entering water temperature sampling only when
the measured entering water temperature is too cool to heat or too
warm to cool. Entering water is cold enough to cool when it is five
degrees below the measured space temperature. Entering water is
Tracer® ZN.520
warm enough to heat when it is five degrees above the measured
space temperature.
When the controller invokes the entering water temperature sampling
function, the unit opens the main hydronic valve for no more than
three minutes before considering the measured entering water
temperature. An initial stabilization period is allowed to flush the coil.
This period is equal to 30 seconds plus ½ the valve stroke time. Once
this temperature stabilization period has expired, the controller
compares the entering water temperature against the effective space
temperature (either hardwired or communicated) to determine whether
the entering water can be used for the desired heating or cooling. If
the water temperature is not usable for the desired mode, the controller continues to compare the entering water temperature against the
effective space temperature for a maximum of three minutes.
The controller automatically disables the entering water temperature
sampling and closes the main hydronic valve when the measured
entering water exceeds the high entering water temperature limit (110
F). When the entering water temperature is warmer than 110 F, the
controller assumes the entering water temperature is hot because it
is unlikely the coil would drift to a high temperature unless the actual
loop temperature was very high.
Electric Heat Operation
Fresh Air Damper
Options
If the entering water temperature is unusable too cool to heat or
too warm to cool the controller closes the hydronic valve and waits
60 minutes before initializing another sampling. If the controller
determines the entering water temperature is valid for heating or
cooling, it resumes normal heating/cooling control and effectively
disables entering water temperature sampling until it is required.

operation for heating. To control the space temperature, electric heat
is cycled to control the discharge air temperature. The rate of cycling
is dependent upon the load in the space and the temperature of the
incoming fresh air from the economizer (if any).Two-pipe changeover
units with electric heat use the electric heat only when hot water is
not available.
Manual
Units with the manual fresh air damper option ship with the damper in
the closed position, which is adjustable from zero to 100 percent in
25 percent increments. To adjust the position, first remove the air filter

the stop screw to the appropriate position. Then loosen the stop
screw wingnut and adjust the linkage.
Economizer Damper
With a valid outdoor air temperature (either hardwired or communicated), Tracer
the highest priority source of cooling. Economizer operation is only
possible through the use of a modulating damper.
Economizing is possible during the occupied, occupied standby,
unoccupied, and occupied bypass modes.
The controller initiates the economizer function if the outdoor air
temperature is cold enough to be used as free cooling capacity. If the
outdoor air temperature is less than the economizer enable setpoint
(absolute dry bulb), the controller modulates the outdoor air damper
(between the active minimum damper position and 100%) to control
the amount of outdoor air cooling capacity. When the outdoor air
temperature rises 5 F above the economizer enable point, the controller disables economizing and moves the outdoor air damper back to
its predetermined minimum position based on the current occupancy
mode or communicated minimum damper position.

Dehumidification
Tracer® ZN.520
Dehumidification is possible when mechanical cooling is available,
the heating capacity is located in the reheat position, and the space
relative humidity setpoint is valid.The controller starts dehumidifying
the space when the space humidity exceeds the humidity setpoint.
The controller continues to dehumidify until the sensed humidity falls
below the setpoint minus the relative humidity offset.The controller
uses the cooling and reheat capacities simultaneously to dehumidify
the space. While dehumidifying, the discharge air temperature is
controlled to maintain the space temperature at the current setpoint.
A typical scenario involves high humidity and high temperature load of
the space.The controller sets the cooling capacity to 100% and uses
the reheat capacity to warm the discharge air to maintain space
temperature control.Dehumidification may be disabled via Tracer or
configuration.
Note: If the unit is in the unoccupied mode, the dehumidification
routine will not operate.
Data Sharing
Binary Inputs
Because this controller utilizes LonWorks technology, the controller can send or receive data (setpoint, heat/cool mode, fan request,
space temperature, etc.) to and from other controllers on the communication link, with or without the existence of a building automation
system. This applies to applications where multiple unit controllers
share a single space temperature sensor (for rooms with multiple
units but only one zone sensor) for both standalone (with communication wiring between units) and building automation system applications. For this application you will need to use the Rover service tool.

The Tracer® ZN.520 controller accepts the following zone sensor
module inputs:
Space temperature measurement (10kW thermistor)
Local setpoint (either internal or external on the zone sensor
module)
Fan switch
Timed override (On) and Cancel timed override
Communication jack
Trane zone sensors use a 10kW thermistor to measure the space
temperature. Typically, zone sensors are wall-mounted in the room
and include a space temperature thermistor. As an option, the zone
sensor can be unit-mounted with a separate space temperature
thermistor located in the units return air stream. If both a hardwired
and communicated space temperature value exist, the controller
ignores the hardwired space temperature input and uses the communicated value.

ZN.520 controller with a local setpoint (50 to 85 F or 10 to
When the hardwired setpoint adjustment is used to determine the
setpoints, all unit setpoints are calculated based on the hardwired
setpoint value, the configured setpoints, and the active mode of the
controller. The hardwired setpoint is used with the controllers occupancy mode (occupied, occupied standby, or unoccupied), the
heating or cooling mode, the temperature deadband values, and the
heating and cooling setpoints (high and low limits) to determine the
controllers active setpoint.
When a building automation system or other controller communicates
a setpoint to the controller, the controller ignores the hardwired
setpoint input and uses the communicated value. The exception is
the unoccupied mode, when the controller always uses the stored
default unoccupied setpoints. After the controller completes all
setpoint calculations, based on the requested setpoint, the occupancy mode, the heating and cooling mode, and other factors, the
calculated setpoint is validated against the following setpoint limits:
Heating setpoint high limit
Heating setpoint low limit
Cooling setpoint high limit
Cooling setpoint low limit
76 UNT-IOM-6
Tracer® ZN.520
These setpoint limits only apply to the occupied and occupied
standby heating and cooling setpoints. These setpoint limits do not
apply to the unoccupied heating and cooling setpoints stored in the
controllers configuration.
When the controller is in unoccupied mode, it always uses the stored
unoccupied heating and cooling setpoints.The unit can also be
configured to enable or disable the local (hardwired) setpoint. This
parameter provides additional flexibility to allow you to apply communicated, hardwired, or default setpoints without making physical
changes to the unit.
Similar to hardwired setpoints, the effective setpoint value for a
communicated setpoint is determined based on the stored default
setpoints (which determines the occupied and occupied standby
temperature deadbands) and the controllers occupancy mode.
Fan Switch
On/Cancel Buttons
The zone sensor fan switch provides the controller with an occupied
(and occupied standby) fan request signal (Off, Low, Medium, High,
Auto). If the fan control request is communicated to the controller, the
controller ignores the hardwired fan switch input and uses the communicated value. The zone sensor fan switch input can be enabled or
disabled through configuration using the Rover service tool. If the zone
sensor switch is disabled, the controller resorts to its stored configuration default fan speeds for heating and cooling, unless the controller
receives a communicated fan input.
When the fan switch is in the off position, the controller does not
control any unit capacity. The unit remains powered and all outputs
drive to the closed position.Upon a loss of signal on the fan speed
input, the controller reports a diagnostic and reverts to using the
default fan speed.
Momentarily pressing the on button during unoccupied mode places
the controller in occupied bypass mode for 120 minutes. You can
adjust the number of minutes in the unit controller configuration using
Rover service tool. The controller remains in occupied bypass mode
until the override time expires or until you press the Cancel button.
Communication jack
Use the RJ-11 communication as the connection point from Rover
service tool to the communication linkwhen the communication
jack is wired to the communication link at the controller. By accessing the communication jack via Rover, you gain access to any
controller on the link.

remains off until one of two conditions occur:The controller exits power
up control wait once it receives communicated information.The controller
exits power up control wait once the power up control wait time expires.
Cycling fan operationThe controller operates the fan continuously when in the occupied,
occupied standby, or occupied bypass mode. When the controller is in
the unoccupied mode, the fan is cycled between high speed and off with
capacity.
Unoccupied operationWhen the controller is in the unoccupied mode, the fan is cycled
between high speed and off with capacity to maintain zone temperature
control.
Fan mode offWhen a local fan mode switch (provided on the Trane zone sensor)
`determines the fan operation, the off position controls the unit off.
Requested mode offYou can communicate a desired operating mode (such as off, heat,
and cool) to the controller. When off is communicated to the controller,
the unit controls the fan off. There is no heating or cooling.

Fan mode offWhen a local fan mode switch (provided on the Trane zone sensor)
determines the fan operation, the off position controls the unit off and
valves to close.
Sampling logicThe controller includes entering water temperature sampling logic which
is automatically invoked during 2-pipe and 4-pipe changeover when the
entering water temperature is either too cool or too hot for the desired
heating or cooling.Refer to the Entering Water Temperature Sampling
section.
Diagnostic presentA specific list of diagnostic affects valve operation. For more information,
see the Diagnostics section.
Unit configurationThe controller must be properly configured based on the actual installed

the actual end devices, the valves may not work correctly.Example: A 2pipe heat/cool changeover unit will not cool if the entering water tempera
ture is too warm for cooling or if the entering water sensor is not present.
The unit will not heat if the entering water temperature is too cool for
heating.
Unit wiringThe wiring between the controller outputs and the valve(s) must be
present and correct for normal valve operation.

Off: Fan is off; control valve options and fresh air damper options
close. The low air temperature detection option is still active.
Auto: Fan speed control in the auto setting allows the modulating
(three-wire floating point) control valve option and three-speed fan to
work cooperatively to meet precise capacity requirements, while
minimizing fan speed (motor/energy/acoustics) and valve position
(pump energy/chilled water reset). As the capacity requirement
increases at low fan speed, the water valve opens. When the low fan
speed capacity switch point is reached, the fan switches to medium
speed and the water valve repositions to maintain an equivalent
capacity. The reverse sequence takes place with a decrease in
required capacity.
Low/Med/High: The fan will run continuously at the selected speed
and the valve option will cycle to meet setpoint.

Occupied
In the occupied mode, the factory configures the TUC for continuous
occupied fan cycle. With the fan control set to auto, the fan operates
at the required speed to meet the cooling or heating capacity.
However, the fan will run at one set speed continuously if set in the
high, medium, or low position.
Unoccupied
In the unoccupied mode, the TUC cycles the fan between off and high
speed to satisfy the unoccupied setpoint. However, if the occupied
preheat damper position is closed and the room setpoint is 3° F
above (cool down) or 3° F below (warm-up) setpoint, the fan runs at
high speed when exiting the unoccupied mode to occupied mode.
Also, if the occupied preheat damper position is configured as
closed, the fan will run in high speed any time the room temperature
falls 3° F or below room setpoint in occupied heating mode.

setpoint equal to the cooling setpoint minus an adjustable heating
offset. Furthermore, the heating setpoint cannot exceed a value less
than or equal to the cooling setpoint. The TUC is in the cooling mode
when the space temperature rises 1° F above the cooling setpoint.

Operation
Off Position
On a stand-alone TUC with the fan mode switch in the off position, all
normal cooling and heating functions cease. (e.g. The fan does not
run, the fresh air damper option closes, and the unoccupied mode
disables.)
High, Medium, or Low Postion
With the fan mode switch in the high, medium, or low position; the
fresh air damper option and the control valve(s) operate to maintain
setpoint.
Auto Position
As the capacity requirement increases at low fan speed, the control
valve gradually opens. The fan speed increases to medium after
reaching the low speed capacity switch point. This causes the control
valve to reposition to maintain capacity, gradually opening as demand
increases. The fan speed increases to high after reaching the medium
speed capacity switch point. This causes the control valve to reposition to maintain output capacity, gradually opening as demand
increases. As capacity decreases, the control valve closes until
reaching the fan switch point. After reaching the fan switch point, the
fan speed decreases to medium with the control valve repositioning to
maintain constant capacity. As capacity decreases, the control valve
closes until reaching the fan switch point. After reaching the fan
switch point, the fan speed decreases to low with the control valve
repositioning to maintain constant capacity. At low speed, the control
valve closes incrementally as demand decreases.

through the unit to determine if the entering water temperature indicates a call for cooling or heating.
Note: The entering water temperature sampling function is for units

The auxiliary electric heat option allows heating when the occupied
space requires heating but the unit still has chilled system water
flowing through it. The electric heat is also sufficient for use as the
sole source of heat for the unit.
The TUC utilizes a heating only output to energize electric heat if
hydronic heat is insufficient to meet the heating requirements. This
output responds to a demand for heat as long as the entering water
temperature is lower than 95° F. However, if the water temperature
reaches 95° F or higher, the electric heat lockout switch (on the
supply water pipe) disengages the electric heat. Electric heat becomes available again when the entering water temperature falls to
65° F or lower (± 5° F).

Economizer
UNT-IOM-6 95
The economizer damper option contains a modulating, 3-wire floating

at a minimum 25 percent open position by configuring the TUC. This
setting is adjustable and can be changed in the field with EveryWareä
software or Tracer
zero to 100 percent in one percent increments.
The economizer fresh air damper is controlled to the minimum
position, which the factory configures. During the occupied mode,
economizing is enabled and the fresh air temperature is measured
while economizing.
Economizing is enabled within the TUC configuration based on an
editable temperature differential between the fresh air temperature and
the zone temperature. The unit will go into economizing mode when
â
. The minimum open position is adjustable from
Terminal Unit
Control (TUC)
the outside air temperature falls to 10° F or more below the zone
temperature. The TUC will control the damper to a position to produce
optimal cooling during economizing. If power is interrupted or the TUC
is turned off, the damper will spring back to the closed position.
If the occupied preheat damper position is configured as closed (the
factory configures as open), the fresh air damper remains closed
during the transition from unoccupied mode to occupied mode until
the zone temperature is within 2° F of the heating setpoint (warm-up
sequence), or cooling setpoint (cool-down sequence). During the
warm-up sequence, the damper fully closes, the fan operates on high
speed, and the heating valve drives fully open to until the zone
temperature approaches the occupied heating setpoint. If the zone
temperature falls 3° F or more below the heating setpoint during the
occupied mode, the TUC reinitiates the warm-up sequence until the
zone temperature is within 2° F of the heating setpoint.
If during the occupied heating mode, the TUC determines that no
heating capacity is present and the zone temperature drops 3° F
below the heating setpoint, the TUC closes the fresh air damper
regardless of the occupied preheat damper position. The cool-down
sequence has a maximum duration of one hour and cannot be
reinitiated once the unit is in occupied mode.
All units ship from the factory with the damper in the closed position.
Note: The open position of the damper does not correspond to the
amount of fresh air provided to the unit. It is the installers responsibility to ensure that the buildings minimum fresh air requirements are
met while taking the necessary freeze conditon precautions to
protect the unit.

BIP4: Low
Temperature
Detection Option
The low temperature detection
option protects the unit from
freezing conditions by using a
capillary line in the coil fins to
detect freezing conditions. The
TUC uses the low temperature
sensor with a normally open
valve. When the sensor detects
temperatures below 36° F, a binary
input turns the fan off, closes the
fresh air damper, disables the
electric heat, and opens the control valve. This creates a shutdown
latching diagnostic that requires a reset to resume normal operation.
However, normal operation cannot resume until the water temperature
rises to 44° F. See Figure 31.Low temperature detection is active
even when the unit is off, but the TUC must remain powered for it to
be functional.
The factory configures the 24V dry contact input as normally closed
to indicate alarm. However, it also can be normally open
if using the correct switch.
Note: While the low temperature detection sensor can help minimize
the risk of coil freeze-up, it cannot prevent this from occurring in all
circumstances. The user is responsible to adequately protect the unit
from freeze conditions.
Figure 31. The low temperature
sensor is a capillary tube
inserted into the coil to detect
freezing conditions.
Note: The capillary line of the low temperature detection sensor is in
the section of the hydronic coil above the fan, nearest the control
panel box. Locate the outside air wall box or ductwork so fresh air
has a direct path into the fan. This allows the sensor to detect an
accurate fresh air temperature and proper operation of a dual fan unit.
Failure to do this could cause the low temperature detection sensor to
incorrectly detect a potential freezing coil.
BIP3: Condensate

The condensate overflow detection device protects the unit from

When there is a danger of condensate water overflow from the auxiliary pan, the float rises with the water level in the pan. When the float
rises to over 50 percent of its travel, the control valve closes. Also, a
binary input causes the fan to turn off, the fresh air damper to close,

and the electric heat to disable. This creates an immediate shutdown
latching diagnostic, which requires a manual or Tracer
resume normal operation.
However, normal operation cannot resume until the water level
recedes to an acceptable level. The switch will close after the water
level recedes, and the active temperature control of the unit will
resume by an automatic reset. Since both the condensate overflow
detection and occupied/unoccupied status occupy BIP3 on the TUC
board, only one option can be in use. The factory configures the 24V
dry contact input as normally closed to indicate an alarm. However, it
also can be normally open if using the correct switch.
The smoke input is a binary input on the TUC that is used with a
smoke detector switch (installer supplied) to signal an alarm. Configure the input to either send an alarm to Tracer
latching diagnostic. If the input is configured as a shutdown latching
diagnostic, the TUC closes the control valve(s), shuts the fan off,
closes the fresh air damper, and disables electric heat.
If the input is configured to send an alarm, Tracer will issue a system
wide shutdown for the building. The unit will continue to run, and no
diagnostic will register within the TUC. The factory configures the
