VariTrac Changeover-Bypass
System
Overview
VariTrac Changeover-bypass VAV is a comfort system solution designed for
light commercial applications. As the name implies, these systems deliver a
varying volume of air to multiple zones, each with its own thermostat, while
still utilizing a unitary machine with a constant volume fan. Changeoverbypass VAV combines the comfort benefits of VAV with the cost effectiveness and simplicity of packaged unitary equipment.
Central Control Panel
The VariTrac Central Control Panel is the central source of communications
and decision making between the individual zones and the air conditioning
unit. Connections to the central control panel are:
• 24 Vac power
• binary inputs for an occupied/unoccupied signal and external priority
shutdown signal (optional)
• ICS communication bus to the Trane building automation system (optional)
• UCM communication bus to the zone dampers and communicating
sensor/bypass damper control and Trane Voyager™/Reliatel™ rooftop unit
• binary outputs to heating, cooling, and fan of non-Voyager or Reliatel
rooftop units
Unit Control Module (UCM)
A unit control module is mounted to each individual zone damper. Inputs
and outputs consist of the twisted shielded pair communication link, zone
temperature sensor, optional CO2 and occupancy sensors, 24 Vac power,
damper motor control, and local heat outputs. Local heat may be duct or
space mounted, and can be staged electric, pulse-width modulating electric,
and modulating or staged two-position hot water.
VariTrac Damper
Each VariTrac damper consists of an integrated 24 Vac actuator and control
box that encloses the UCM circuit board. The damper is designed to operate
in static pressures up to 1.75 inches wg.
VariTrac dampers are referred to by their dimensions:
• round damper sizes are 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 inches. The dampers consists of an 18 gage galvanized steel frame with a round damper blade
assembly.
VAV-SVN03A-EN5
VariTrac Changeover-Bypass System
• rectangular damper sizes are 8 x 12, 8 x 14, 8 x 16, 10 x 16, 10 x 20, and
Communicating Sensor/Bypass Damper Control
The communicating sensor/bypass damper assembly is a bypass damper
and communicating sensor/bypass control that resides on the same bus as
the VariTrac dampers and Voyager/Reliatel rooftop unit.
VariTrac Bypass Damper
Bypass dampers are non-communicating VariTrac dampers which include an
integrated actuator with a pre-wired interconnect cable that plugs into the
communicating sensor/bypass control.
• round bypass damper sizes are 6, 8, 10, and 12 inches. The damper con-
• rectangular bypass damper sizes are 14 x 12, 16 x 16, 20 x 20, and 30 x 20
14 x 16 inches. The damper consists of a 16 gage galvanized steel frame
and opposed blade damper assembly.

assembly. The round bypass damper operates in duct static pressures up
to 1.75 inches wg.
inches. The damper consists of a 13 gage galvanized steel frame and
opposed blade damper assembly. The rectangular bypass damper operates in duct static pressures up to 2.00 inches wg.
Communicating Sensor/Bypass Control
The Communicating Sensor/Bypass Control is composed of an integrated
UCM board, static pressure, and discharge air temperature sensors. It
directly controls the bypass damper and communicates duct conditions to
the central control panel.
The static pressure sensor measures duct static pressure and positions the
bypass damper(s) to maintain the static pressure setpoint.
The discharge air temperature sensor allows the CCP to determine the heat/
cool action of each individual UCM and cycles the heating and cooling
stages to maintain the discharge air temperature. Discharge air temperature
setpoints are also edited through the operator display or PC software.
Auxiliary Temperature Sensor
The auxiliary temperature sensor allows the operator to monitor air
temperature leaving a reheat device or measure duct temperature for
automatic operation of a standalone UCM.
Zone Temperature Sensors
Five zone temperature sensor configurations are available:
• sensor only
• sensor with adjustable setpoint and communications jack
• sensor with night setback override button, cancel button, and communica-
tions jack
• sensor with adjustable setpoint, night setback override button, cancel
button, and communications jack

Wire Specifications
Shielded Level 4 communication wire is now recommended for all communication link wiring on the new VariTrac CCP. This is the same wire which is
recommended for the Tracker Version 10 Comm5 communication link.
The term “Level 4” is used to specify a particular performance of communication wire and is normally associated with LonTalk™. Level 4 wire is different from Category IV (four) wire and Category V (five) wire. The specification
information for Level 4 wire can be found in the “LonWorks™ FTT-10A Free
Topology Transcei ver User’s Guide” at www.echelon.com.
Shielded Level 4 communication wire can be purchased from two qualified
suppliers: Windy City Wire and Connect-Air.
Familiarize yourself with the system components and preview the
installation procedures before installing and configuring the VariTrac
system.
Installation and configuring procedures appear in suggested order of
performance:
• Unpack and inspect the components
• Mount the wiring base
• Wire AC power
• Binary input wiring
• Output wiring
• Install communicating sensor/bypass damper control
• Install bypass damper(s) and connect to communicating sensor/bypass
control assembly
• Install VariTrac dampers
• Connect UCM wiring
• Set UCM DIP switches
• Install slaved dampers (if used)
• Install zone temperature sensors
• Communication link wiring
• Mount main module
• Install operator display (optional)
• Connecting modem devices
IMPORTANT
The CCP is designed to work with UCM III and IV VariTrac damper and
VariTrane VAV controllers produced beginning January 1995. If any other
dampers are used (especially on a retrofit job), please consult the factory
to confirm VariTrac Central Control Panel compatibility prior to installation.
Unpack and Inspect the Components
Inspect components for damage. Match each component to the packing list
to ensure that nothing was lost during shipment. Make sure that the literature is not lost or discarded with the packing material. Visually inspect the
central control panel for damage. All components are thoroughly inspected
before leaving the factory. Any claims for damage incurred in shipping must
be filed with the carrier.

Mounting Requirements
Location
The VariTrac Central Control Panel should be mounted at a convenient level
and located where it will be easily accessible. If possible, locate the CCP
near the controlled equipment to reduce wiring cost.
Operating Environment
The VariTrac Central Control Panel is designed for indoor use only. It should
be located in a dust-free and corrosive-free environment, and within a range
of 32° to 120°F, and 10 to 90 percent humidity (non-condensing).
Clearances
Mount the VariTrac Central Control Panel on any vertical flat surface. The CCP
is approximately 8.75 inches high, 10.25 inches wide and 2.75 inches deep.
VAV-SVN03A-EN14
Secure Termination Module to Wall
The VariTrac Central Control Panel should be easily accessible for making
wiring connections and for servicing. Provide two inches of clearance on the
left and right sides, and sufficient clearance above the unit to make conduit
connections. Sufficient space should be available in front of the unit to
making wiring connections and perform maintenance.

2 Set the termination module aside and drill mounting holes.
3 Secure the termination module to the wall with the supplied hardware
(#10 x 1 in. screw with plastic anchor).
VAV-SVN03A-EN15
Getting Started
Secure Termination Module to Conduit Box
1 Remove the screws from the conduit box.
2 Line up the conduit box screw holes on the termination module (Figure 3)
with the screw holes on the conduit box.
3 Install the screws.
NOTE: When mounting the termination module to a 4 in. x 4 in. conduit box,
remove the plastic cover over the box for easier access. Do not attempt to break
away excess plastic. Use a hack saw blade and carefully cut away the plastic.
Install VariTrac CCP Relay Board
1 Separate the main module and front panel from the termination module.
2 Remove the relay board from its packaging.
3 Orient the relay board so that its 20-pin socket connector faces left (see
Figure 5).
4 Slide the left edge of the board underneath the catches on the left side.
5 Rotate the board to the catches on the right side.
6 Snap the board into place by pressing on the terminal block or on the
right side of the board.
