Only qualified personnel should install and service the equipment. The installation,
starting up, and servicing of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning equipment can
be hazardous and requires specific knowle dge and training. Improperly installed,
adjusted or altered equipment by an unqualified person could result in death or
serious injury. When working on the equ ipment, observe all precautions in the
literature and on the tags, stickers, and labels that are attached to the equipment.

Warnings, Cautions, and Notices

Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing this unit. Safety
advisories appear throughout this manual as required. Your personal safety
and the proper operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance
of these precautions.

The three types of advisories are defined as follows:

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTICE

Important Environmental Concerns

Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect
the earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to
the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may
affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and
Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and
Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the
same potential impact to the environment. Trane advocates the responsible
handling of all refrigerants-including industry replacements for CFCs such
as HCFCs and HFCs.

Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices

Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the

ironment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All

env
technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified according to local
rules. For the USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the
requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain
refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In
addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements
that must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants.
Know the applicable laws and follow them.

Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!

Failure to follow code could result in death or seri ous injury. All field wiring
MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded
field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards,
you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as
described in NEC and your local/state electrical codes.

Personal Protective Equipment Required!

Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to electrical, mechanic al
and chemical hazards. Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST
put on all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) recommended for the work
being undertaken. ALWAYS refer to appropriate SDS sheets and OSHA
guidelines for proper PPE. When working with or around hazardous chemicals,
ALWAYS refer to the appropriate SDS sheets and OSHA guidelines for
information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory
protection and handling recommendations. If there is a risk of arc or flash,
technicians MUST put on all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in
accordance with NFPA70E for arc/flash protection PRIOR to servicing the unit.
Failure to follow recommendations could result in death or serious injury.

Follow EHS Policies!

Failure to follow instructions below could result in death or serious injury.

• All Trane personnel must follow the company’s Environmental, Health and
ty (EHS) policies when performing work such as hot work, electrical, fall

Safe
protection, lockout/tagout, refrigerant handling, etc. Where local
regulations are more stringent than these policies, those regulations
supersede these policies.

• Non-Trane personnel should always follow local regulations.

Adapter Operations

Once communication with the unit controller or WCI has been established,
you can use the Tracer TU service tool as if you were directly connected to
the USB port of the controller.)

The Adapter produces very low levels of electromagnetic (RF) energy. To avoid
exposure, keep the Adapter a minimum of 8 inches (20 cm ) from your body.

d'empêcher toute exposition, maintenez-le à au moins 8 pouces (20 cm) de
votre corps.

Adapter Power

The USB cable connecting the laptop to the Adapter provides power
through the laptop USB port. No other connection is necessary to power
the Adapter.

USB allows a number of devices to share a link. An
required to provide 500 mA at 5 Vdc. The power requirements of the
Adapter have been minimized so that the Adapter can share the USB link
with other devices. However, the total current draw of all connected devi ces
cannot exceed 500 mA.

Excessive Current Draw

In rare situations, a short in the Adapter can cause current draw in excess of
500 mA. If this does occur, most computers issue a message and automatically
shut down the USB port. You are advised to pull the USB cable quickly and
contact Trane about this problem.

Normal Operation

Connecting the Adapter to a laptop PC starts the Adapter. A successful start
is indicated when the Status LED changes from solid red to solid green. The
Status LED flashes green to indicate active communication th rough a USB

Introduction

The Tracer TU Communication Adapter (referred to simply as “the
Adapter”) allows the Tracer TU service tool to connect to a remote unit
controller through a zone sensor or wireless connection.

This instruction sheet first describes the components included with the
Adapter. It then explains Adapter connection and operation.

Note: The Adapter is designed exclusively for use with the new generation

Trane controllers (UCxxx). Do not use the Adapter with ZN, VV, AH, and

of
MP LonTalk communicating controls.

Best Practices

To make the most effective use of the Adapter, observe the following best
practices.

• The Adapter is best suited for making changes to selected setpoints or
point configurations. However, if you are making extensive changes to
configuration variables or setpoints, updating device application
firmware, transferring large TGP2 files, or restoring a configuration,
connect directly to the controller with a USB cable to obtain the best
performance.

• Use care when d etaching the RJ-22 connector from the zone sensor.

RJ-22 is a locking connector. If pulled sharply, it can damage the

The
zone sensor.

• For maximu m wireless signal strength, position yourself as close as

ble to the target controller’s WCI.
