Tracer Summit System Overview
The Tracer Summit system provides building automation and energy
management functions. The system is capable of monitoring and controlling 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 configuration. 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 accessible 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).

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 18gauge, shielded, twisted-pair wire with stranded, tinned-copper conductors.
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 capacitance 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 connections 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 Communication-Link Wiring.” UCM communication and sensor wire is available 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, tinnedcopper 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 resonance (NMR) or X-ray rooms.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN5
Page 21
Chapter 1 Before Installation
Trane requires duplex, 62.5 µm core glass fiber-optic cable with ST connectors. The types of cable available for different applications include
indoor, outdoor, burial, aerial, and duct. Further descriptions of fiberoptic cable and accessories are provided in Chapter 4, “UCM Communication-Link Wiring.”
You can order fiber-optic cables, fiber-optic modems, ST-type crimp connectors, 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 distance 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 Workstation) and a hub. If a direct connection between two devices is required,
then you must use a hub or crossover cable. For information about maximum 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 terminating 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
6BMTW-SVN01F-EN
Page 22
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.
For information about maximum cable length and maximum cable distance 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.
Fiber-Optic Cable—Ethernet and ARCNET
Use fiber-optic cable for applications involving long distances. There is little 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 connectors, epoxy connectors, and other accessories from Trane.
BMTW-SVN01F-EN7
Page 23
Chapter 1 Before Installation
IMPORTANT
Due to the high precision required when performing fiber-optic terminations, 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 petrochemical 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 terminations 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, terminator 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

BCU I/O Module
The BCU input/output (I/O) module is an optional board that adds capabilities 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 status 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 diagram. 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 wiring 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 mm
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 negative lead input. On the other end of the wire, cut back and tape the
shielding.

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), standard (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 necessary 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.

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.

Figure 15. Transmitting Device to Power Supply Wiring Diagram
For all UIPs in the BCU I/O module, you must create and set up the necessary objects that will provide units, calculation, and alarming to the
desired input. Refer to the Tracer Summit System Programming guide for
creating and setting up the necessary objects.
Binary Output
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 Summit System Programming guide for creating and setting up binary
objects.

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.

UCM Communication Cards
Five types of UCM communication cards are available. Each card supports 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.
•Cards that fit into module P3 use the UCM communication link #2
located on terminals TB2-4, TB2-5, and TB2-6.
•Cards that fit into module P4 use the UCM communication link #3
located on terminals TB2-7, TB2-8, and TB2-9.
•Cards that fit into module P5 use the UCM communication link #4
located on terminals TB2-10, TB2-11, and TB2-12.
The five communication card options are described in the following sections.

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 (horizontal), leaving the card perpendicular to the BCU logic board.
Figure 21. Comm5 UCM Communication Card
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

Chapter 4 UCM Communication-Link Wiring
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 “FiberOptic 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.

Figure Note:
If unshielded wire is used (as recommended for Comm5), there is no shield connection.
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-EN55
Page 71
Chapter 4 UCM Communication-Link Wiring
(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.)

•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).

Communication-Link Wire
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 configuration, 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.

Chapter 4 UCM Communication-Link Wiring
Recommended Wiring Practices
The following guidelines should be followed while installing communication 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, including lightning, EMI/RFI, voltage conductors, and ground loops.
Trane requires duplex, 62.5 µm core glass fiber-optic cable with ST connectors. 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 connectors, 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 optical 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 technicians prepare the fiber-optic end connectors and cable run lengths.
Improper methods may result in faulty communication due to signal
64BMTW-SVN01F-EN
Page 80
Fiber-Optic UCM Communication
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
receiving information.
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-EN65
Page 81
Chapter 4 UCM Communication-Link Wiring
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 powered.
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. Polarity 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.
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 terminations 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 temperature range specified for the BCU. The decibel loss for conduit-rated fiberoptic cable (P/N 400-4002) is 3.75 dB/km (1 km = 3,280 ft). Precut fiber-
BMTW-SVN01F-EN67
Page 83
Chapter 4 UCM Communication-Link Wiring
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, terminator 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

UCM Wiring and Addressing
Unit control modules (UCMs) provide the communication interface necessary 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 calculation 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 number indicates whether the UCP1 has a bidirectional communication interface and can communicate with Tracer Summit.
For CVHE, CVAD, and CVHB chillers, the UCP1 must have a code number 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 monitoring and control.
For specific information about the number of UCP1s allowed per BCU
and per communication link, refer to Table 7 on page 46.

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 CommunicationWire 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 Transtector 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 possible 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.

Device Addressing
The UCP address must be set to 01, 02, or 03 in order for it to communicate with the BCU. The address is set with a series of DIP switches (S11)
on the 1U3 module of the UCP (see Figure 33). For UCP DIP switch settings, see Table 10.
These Unit Control Panels (UCP2s) allow Tracer Summit to monitor, control, and configure centrifugal, absorption, and helical rotary chillers. The
chiller must be equipped with a TCI Comm4 communication module to
communicate with a Tracer Summit BCU. For specific information about
the number of UCP2s allowed per BCU and per communication link, refer
