Power Up Sequence
Manual output test can be initiated
at any time in the power up sequence or during normal operation.
When 24 VAC power is initially applied to the controller, the following sequence occurs:
1.Green Status LED turns on.
2.All outputs are controlled Off.
3.The controller reads input values to determine initial values.
4.Standalone control is assumed
unless occupancy data is communicated.
5.Random start timer expires (5
to 30 seconds, random).
Start-up Procedures
6.Power-up control Wait feature
is applied. When power up
control Wait is enabled, the
controller waits 120 seconds to
allow ample time for communicated control data to arrive.
If, after 120 seconds, the controller does not receive a communicated occupancy request,
the unit assumes standalone
operation.
7.All modulating valves and
damper calibrate closed, face
and bypass damper calibrate

Tracer® ZN.520
Overview
The Trane® Tracer® ZN.520 controller is a factory-installed and
commissioned, direct-digital
controller (DDC) offering for
classroom unit ventilator systems. (See Figure 1: “Tracer ZN.520 Control Board”) The Tracer ZN.520 can also be applied to
other Trane® interoperable HVAC
equipment, including the fan coil
and blower coil products. (For
more information see, Table 1:
Tracer™ ZN.520 Unit Controller
features and coil availability, on
page 8 for more information.) For
more information regarding the
application of the Tracer ZN.520
to other Trane products, contact
the appropriate local Trane sales
office.
Trane offers a complete solution
to space comfort control with the
flexibility of Integrated Comfort
System (ICS) and stand-alone
control packages. The ICS control
package combines HVAC equipment and building management
into one environmental comfort
system.
Integrating the Tracer ZN.520 on
classroom unit ventilators, and
tying them to a Tracer Summit®
system will provide a complete
building management system.
The stand-alone control package
offers the features and functionality of the direct digital control
without a front-end building automation system, while providing
future considerations for ICS.
Equipment problems can often be
diagnosed on each unit without
having to access the unit componets. These diagnostics can be received remotely via a modem with
a Tracer Summit building automation system, thus reducing the
number of actual on-site service
calls; through the Rover® service
tool connected to a communication jack located inside the Trace
zone sensor; or connected to the
unit.
General Information
Figure 1: Tracer ZN.520 Control Board
The Tracer ZN.520 is factorymounted, tested, wired, configured and commissioned for the selected application.
The Tracer ZN.520 configuration
has flexible point and product configurations. For example, with
point configuration, a specific binary point can be configured to accept input from either a time clock
or some type of generic device.

Controller Features
Each Tracer ZN.520 unit controller
circuit board is equipped with enhancements to help facilitate service, testing, and diagnosis.
Each board has
q Manual test button,
q Status LED,
q Communication status LED,
q Service button,
q Quick terminal connectors, and
q Easy to read screen printing.
(See Figure 1: “Tracer ZN.520
Control Board”).
Service
The Trane Tracer ZN.520 unit controller is serviced using Rover®, the
ICS software service too. Rover is
designed to support the Tracer
ZN.520 unit controller on the classroom unit ventilator.
For “remote” access to the communicating units, the zone sensors
offered with the Tracer ZN.520
have a telephone style (RJ-11) connector allowing field connection
between Rover and the zone sensor; however, the RJ-11 connector
must be connected to the terminals
TB2-5 and TB2-6 on the Tracer
ZN.520 unit controller. (See Figure
3: “Rover service tool connected to
the RJ-11 communication jack in a
zone sensor”)
The zone sensor may also be used
when trying to locate a unit. By
pressing the O N button on the zone
sensor for 5 seconds or using the
“wink” command in Rover, the circuit board receives the signal causing the Communication LED to
“wink”. Winking allows visual
identifier on the board for service
technicians.
The Tracer ZN.520 also includes
features such as a test output to
manually test all of the end devices
and color coded wires (i.e. red for
heating valves and blue for cooling
valves) to aid in the troubleshooting process.(See “Manual Output
Test” on page48, for more information.)
Figure 3: Rover service tool connected to the RJ-11 communication jack in a zone sensor
Typical Components
A typical classroom unit ventilator
system with a DDC package consists of the following physical components, in addition to the
mechanical equipment:
q Tracer ZN.520—contains the
sensor input circuits, service
adjustments, microprocessor
control electronics, and
communications hardware.
10UV-SVP01A-EN
Power is supplied by a
separately mounted 24 VAC\90
VA transformer.
q Sensor Modules—a variety of
analog sensors that provide
temperature and optional
humidity sensing and CO2
sensor; and an operator
interface to the Tracer ZN.520
for operating modes, status,
and temperature setpoints.
q Standard End Devices—a
variety of devices that help to
gather information, control
capacity, and provide
ventilation are used by the
Tracer ZN.520 in its control
algorithm to condition the
space to the desired
temperature and relative
humidity level. (See “Standard
End Devices ” on page13, for
more information.)
Communication Configurations
Note: The Tracer ZN.520 is a
configured controller. It will
not operate without a valid
downloaded configuration
file.
The Tracer ZN.520 controller supports ICS and peer-to-peer communications as well as standalone operation. A number of control features may be configured at
the factory or by using the Rover
service tool. (See “Configuration”
on page32, for more information.)
Integrated Comfort
System
Note: The Tracer ZN.520
controller may only be used
with Tracer Summit version
11.0 or greater with a Comm5
communications card.
Classroom unit ventilators can operate as part of a large building automation system controlled by
Tracer Summit. The Tracer ZN.520
is linked directly to the Tracer
Summit via a twisted pair communication wire. Each Tracer Summit
building automation system can
connect to a maximum of 120
Tracer ZN.520 controllers.
Figure 4: Communications link wire
The ICS system allows for complete communication with the
classroom unit ventilators via
Tracer ZN.520 unit controller. All
points connected to the Tracer
ZN.520 may be observed from the
Tracer Summit front-end controller. The Tracer Summit can also
initiate an alarm on a loss of performance or equipment malfunctions.
The ICS system also allows all of
the classroom unit ventilators to
share information without the
presence of hardwired sensors at
each unit. Some typical shared
points include outside air temperature, entering water temperature,
and occupancy schedules.
Peer-to-Peer
Communications
On a peer-to-peer communication
system, multiple Tracer ZN.520
controllers may share data, via a
twisted pair communication wire,
without the need for a Tracer Summit system. (See Figure 5: “Peer-
to-peer communication connections”)
Peer-to-peer communications allows features such as master/slave
operation, in which multiple units
operate off of a single zone sensor.
This is typically seen in large spaces requiring multiple units.
The Rover service tool is required
to set up peer-to-peer communications.
Figure 5: Peer-to-peer communication connections
UV-SVP01A-EN11
Communication Configurations
Stand-Alone
In a stand-alone configuration,
commands for operation are determined based on input from the
zone sensor, humidity sensor, and
factory- or field-mounted timeclock.(See Figure 6: “Typical class-
room unit ventilator installation ”)
q The timeclock is wired to the
Tracer ZN.520 to index the unit
between occupied and
unoccupied modes.
q A unit-mounted, analog,
outside-air temperature sensor
is used to initiate the dry bulb
economizer and freeze
avoidance routines.
q On changeover units, a unit-
mounted, analog, entering
water temperature sensor is
used to automatically control
the system in the heat/cool
mode.
These sensors are required for
proper system operation and are
provided as standard on standalone units.
Figure 6: Typical classroom unit ventilator
installation
Communication Interface
Important! To help ensure
optimal performance of the
Rover service tool, please use
the latest version. To obtain
the latest version contact your
local Trane sales representtative or service technician.
Note: Refer to the Tracer
system manuals for more
information on communications.
The Tracer ZN.520 communicates
via Comm5 (LonTalk) to a building
management system, the Rover
service tool, and other unit controllers on the communications link.
Each Tracer ZN.520 requires a
unique address for the system to
operate properly. Every Tracer
ZN.520 has this address (Neuron
ID) embedded in the microprocessor, which eliminates the need for
field-addressing of the units. Each
unit also ships from the factory
with a unit identification tag. (See
“Location Identifier ” on page38,
for more information.)
Building automation system
Trane offers a state-of the art frontend building automation system
designed to coordinate and monitor Trane equipment and controllers: Tracer Summit.
The Tracer Summit system allows
the user to monitor and/or change
Tracer ZN.520:
q status, parameters, sensor data,
diagnostics, and internal
variables; and
q setpoints, operating modes,
and outputs.
Service tool
Trane also offers a service tool to
work in conjunction with the Tracer
Summit system or with peer-topeer and stand-alone systems: the
Rover service tool.
Communication to the Tracer
ZN.520, or multiple controllers, can
also be accomplished by using the
ICS software service tool.
A personal computer running Rover may be directly connected to a
standalone Tracer ZN.520; connected to the communications jack
in the Trane zone sensor; or connected to a communicating unit’s
Tracer ZN.520 unit controller, to access all of the units on a communicating link.
Rover allows the user to interface
with the Tracer ZN.520, but will not
allow any advanced control (e.g.
equipment scheduling or trending). To purchase a copy of the ICS
software service tool, contact the
BAS department at your local
Trane dealer.
Interoperability
Trane has lead the industry with
BACnet interoperability and Trane
is now expanding the realm of interoperable solutions by offering
LonMark certified unit controllers.
The Tracer ZN.520 controller conforms to the LonMark Space Comfort Controller profile. (See
“Appendix—Data Lists” on
page64, for more information.)
This allows the ZN.520 to be used
as a unit controller on other control
systems that support LonTalk and
the SCC profile. Now building owners have more choices and design
engineers have more flexibility to
meet the challenges of building automation.

Mounting
The Tracer ZN.520 circuit board is
mounted in the left-hand end pocket for all classroom unit ventilator
configurations. The sheet metal
mounting plate has raised embosses to accept the mounting feet on
the circuit board. (See Figure 8:
“Classroom unit ventilator control
box with close-up of horseshoe
embosses and circuit board
mounting feet. ”) This design al-
lows the Tracer ZN.520 controller
to be secured with a minimal number of sheet metal screws.
Installation and Wiring
Figure 8: Classroom unit ventilator control box with close-up of horseshoe embosses and circuit board mounting feet.
22UV-SVP01A-EN
Installation and Wiring
The mounting position on the vertical classroom unit ventilator
configuration allows complete access to the Tracer ZN.520 by removing the front panel. (See
Figure 9: “Vertical classroom unit
ventilator end pocket”) The
mounting plate swings out of the
way with the removal of a single
screw to allow access to the components behind the control board.
The mounting plate on the hori-
zontal classroom unit ventilator configuration is designed to
slide out with the removal of a single screw for complete access to
the Tracer ZN.520. (See Figure 10:
“Horizontal classroom unit ventilator end pocket”) The location of
the control board on this unit configuration allows complete access
to the other components in the
end pocket when the front panel is
removed.
For additional convenience, quick
connects and modular wire harnesses are used on the control
board and mounting plate. (See
Figure 11: “Quick connects to control board in the classroom unit
ventilator”) These quick connects
help facilitate ease of wiring devices (e.g., zone sensor) to the control
board, and helps add accessibility
to major components.

Installation and Wiring
Installing the WallMounted Zone Sensor
(Optional)
Zone sensor location is an important element of effective room
control and comfort.
The best sensor location is typically on a wall, remote from the
HVAC unit. Readings at this location assure that the desired setpoint is achieved across the space,
not just near the unit itself.
Note: It may be necessary to
subdivide the zone with
multiple units to ensure
adequate control and comfort
throughout the space.
The following are typical areas
where the zone sensor should NOT
be mounted:
q Near drafts or “dead spots”
(e.g., behind doors or corners);
q Near hot or cold air ducts;
q Near radiant heat (e.g., heat
emitted from appliances or the
sun);
q Near concealed pipes or
chimneys;
q On outside walls or other non-
conditioned surfaces; or
q In air flows from adjacent
zones or other units.
Figure 13: Proper zone sensor placement
Note: All zone sensor wiring
will be done in the factory
unless zone sensor options are
selected to be wall mounted.
When a unit-mounted speed
switch is selected with a wallmounted zone sensor, the contractor must disconnect the cooling
setpoint on the unit mounted sensor if the wall mounted cooling
setpoint is used. The zone signal
will be cut at the factory. The unitmounted speed switch cannot be
used as a zone sensor.
THe communications link is not
connected in the factory. Communications should be wired to the
wall-mounted sensor.

Humidity and CO2 Sensors
Humidity and CO2 sensors should
be mounted in a similar location as
the zone sensor.

Unit Identification
Tag
The unit identification tag is factory
mounted and provided for easy
identification of an installed unit. It
contains model number, tagging,
and location information.
The top portion of the unit identification tag remains permanently affixed to the unit for identification
purposes. The bottom portion of
the tag provides pertinent information that is removable to be placed
on building plans or in “ Appendix—Location Identifier” on
page68. This provides identification history about the unit’s location for quick reference.
These tags provide information
about
q unit serial number;
q NID (neuron identification
number)—The NID is similar to
the serial number of the unit
but is specific to the
identification of the Tracer
ZN.520 unit controller circuit
board; and
q unit location—The location
identification is a customer
defined, clear English
description, of the unit’s
physical location. This is a 27
character description, including
spaces, of the location. For
example, if the location
identification for a unit is
“Conference Room 101”, the
ZN.520, Rover (the Trane
Comm 5 service tool), and
Tracer Summit, will recognize
this clear English description.
If location identification is not defined, it will default to the unit serial number. This unit identification
tag provides some information so
the user has multiple references to
the unit. The blank location is provided for field modification in case
the unit is moved from the initial
location.

Winking
Winking a device causes the green
status LED on the device selected
to blink at a rate of twice per second for approximately 10 seconds.
This feature is useful when a discrepancy in device location exists.
As part of the troubleshooting process, one person can WINK the device while another can observe the
blinking and verify the device’s
physical location.
Important! If the status LED on
the ZN.520 does not blink, the
device may not be
communicating or it may not
be the device you selected
according to the stored
address.
A Tracer ZN.520 unit controller
may be set to wink by

38UV-SVP01A-EN
Unit Operation
Power-Up
When 24 VAC is initially applied to
the controller, the following sequence of events occurs:
q Green status LED turns ON .
q All outputs are controlled OFF.
q The controller reads input
values to determine initial
values.
q Random-start timer expires (5
to 30 seconds).
q When POWER-UPCONTROLWAIT
is enabled, the controller waits
0-120 seconds (depending on
configuration) to allow ample
time for communicated control
data to input. If the controller
does not receive communicated information, standalone
control is assumed.
q All modulating valves and
dampers calibrate closed.
q NORMAL operation begins.
Occupancy
The valid occupancy modes for the
Tracer ZN.520 controller are:
q OCC UPIED - Normal operating
mode for occupied spaces or
daytime operation.
q UNOCCUPIED - Normal
operating mode for
unoccupied spaces or
nighttime operation.
q OCC UPIEDSTANDBY - Mode
used to reduce the heating and
cooling demands, while
providing ventilation, during
the occupied hours when the
space is vacant or unoccupied.
q OCC UPIEDBYPASS -Used to
temporarily place the unit into
the occupied operation.
The occupancy mode can be hardwired to the controller via the occupancy binary input or
communicated to the controller.
OCC UPIED mode
When the controller is in the OC CU-
PIED mode, the unit attempts to
maintain the space temperature at
the active occupied heating or
cooling setpoint.
OCC UPIED mode is the default
mode of the Tracer ZN.520 controller.
UNOCCUPIE D mode
When the controller is in the UN-
OCC UPIED mode, the unit attempts
to maintain space temperature at
the stored unoccupied heating or
cooling setpoint (i.e., configurable through Tracer Summit or
the Rover service tool) regardless
of the presence of a hardwired or
communicated setpoint. When
the space temperature exceeds
the stored unoccupied setpoint,
the controller brings on 100% of
the primary heating or cooling capacity.
The UNOCC UPIED mode can be initiated through a hardwired signal
to the occupancy binary input or
by a communicated request.
OCC UPIEDSTANDBY mode
The OC CUPIEDSTANDBY mode allows the unit to operate at a heating or cooling setpoint between
the occupied and unoccupied setpoints to help maintain the environment while decreasing energy
consumption.
This mode decreases the ventilation for heating or cooling during
brief periods of vacancy in the
space. Unit operation in this mode
is similar to the occupied mode except for the different heating and
cooling setpoints and a different
outside air damper position.
The OC CUPIEDSTANDBY mode is
initiated only when occupancy is
communicated to the Tracer
ZN.520 controller and the hardwired signal to the occupancy input is calling for unoccupied
operation.
OCC UPIEDBYPASS mode
The OCCUPIEDBY PASS mode is
used to transition the unit from the
UNOCCUPIED mode to the OCC U-
PIE D mode for a period of time
from 0 to 4 hours (configurable
through Rover. Default=RUN). The
controller can be placed in OC CU-
PIE DBYPASS mode by either com-
municating an occupancy request
of BYPASS or by using the TIMED
OVE RRIDE (i.e., ON) button on the
Trane zone sensor.
ON and CANCEL Buttons
Some Trane zone sensors have ON
and CANCEL buttons for timed over-
ride operation. Pressing the ON
button on the zone sensor when
the unit is in the UNOCC UPIED
mode initiates the OCC UPIEDBY-
PASS mode and initializes the by-
pass timer. The CANCEL button is
used to send the unit back into UN-
OCC UPIED mode before the bypass
timer has expired.
The ON button may also be used
for the unit identification or the
“WINK” feature. (See “Winking” on page38.for more information.)
When the Tracer ZN.520 controller
is connected to a Tracer Summit
system or the Rover service tool,
the ON button may be used in place
of the service pin for easy unit
identification.
Heating And Cooling
Changeover Logic
The Tracer™ ZN.520 Unit Controller can receive communicated requests for heating or cooling
operation. The communicated
variable nviApplicMode is used to
communicate the requests for the
controller's operating mode based
on the following values:
allowed)
7 = Test (special test mode)
8 = Emergency Heat not
supported
9 = Fan Only (no heating or
cooling allowed)
All other enumerations will be interpreted as Auto.
As the controller automatically determines its heating or cooling
mode, it changes from cool to heat
or from heat to cool, while the error
(integrated over time between the
active setpoint and the space tem-
perature) is (900 °Fh Sec). Integra-
tion only begins once the heating
and cooling capacity is equal to 0%
or the discharge air temperature is
being limited by the discharge air
temperature control limits.(See
Figure 17: “Heat/Cool Changeover
logic”).
Figure 17: Heat/Cool Changeover logic
If the measured space temperature
is 69 °F and the active cooling setpoint is 72 °F, the error between
the space temperature and the setpoint is three degrees. If the same
error exists for one minute (60 seconds), the integration term is
(3 °Fh60 Sec) or (180 °Fh Sec).
The Tracer™ ZN.520 Unit Controller changes from heating to cooling and cooling to heating when
the integration term exceeds
(900 °FhSec). Along with satisfying the integration for heating and
cooling changeover, the measured
space temperature must fall outside the setpoint range. This
means the space temperature
must be greater than the active
40UV-SVP01A-EN
cooling setpoint or lower than the
active heating setpoint.
Example: If the cooling setpoint is
75°F and the heating setpoint
70°F, any space temperature
greater than 75°F or less than 70°F
is outside the setpoint range.
Once the integration term is satisfied and the space temperature is
outside the setpoint range, the
controller changes modes. However, before the unit's heating or
cooling capacity ramps up, the
controller checks to make sure it is
capable of heating or cooling.
For some units, heating and cooling capability exists with local resources such as electric heat or
compressors. For these units, central heating or cooling plan operation is not required for heating or
cooling because they are capable
of providing their own local heating or cooling.
For 2-pipe changeover and 4-pipe
changeover units with hydronic capacity, heating and cooling is provided through hydronic. For those
hydronic, central heating or cooling plant operation is required for
the unit to deliver heating or cooling. To determine whether the central plant is providing the desired
water temperature, an entering
water temperature sensor (either
hardwired or communicated) must
be present.
Unit Operation
The entering water must be five
degrees or more above the space
temperature to allow hydronic
heating, and five degrees or more
below the space temperature to allow hydronic cooling.
If the desired water temperature is
available, the unit begins normal
heating and cooling operation. If
the measured entering water temperature is not adequate for the
desired heating or cooling, the
controller begins the entering water temperature sampling logic.
The Tracer™ ZN.520 Unit Controller operates the modulating valves
and dampers based on a heating
or cooling capacity calculated by
the control algorithm. The control
algorithm calculates the heating or
cooling capacity based on the
measured space temperature, the
active setpoint and the discharge
air temperature. When the measured space temperature is within
the active heating and cooling setpoints, the heating and cooling capacity approaches zero.
Cooling Operation
During the C OOLING mode, the
Tracer ZN.520 controller attempts
to maintain the space temperature
at the active cooling setpoint.
Based on the controller’s occupancy mode, the active cooling setpoint is one of the following:
setpoint
q 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 (0-100%). The outputs are controlled based on the unit configuration and the requested cooling
capacity.
Heating Operation
During the H EATING mode, the
Tracer ZN.520 controller attempts
to maintain the space temperature
at the active heating setpoint.
Based on the controller’s occupancy mode, the active heating setpoint is one of the following:
setpoint
q Unoccupied heating setpoint
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 requested heating
capacity.
Fan Operation
For multiple fan speed applications, the Tracer ZN.520 controller
allows separate default fan speeds
to be configured for heating and
cooling modes. When the fan
mode switch is in the AUTO position or no hardwired input exists,
the fan operates at the configured
default fan speed (i.e, HIGH).
The Tracer ZN.520 controller also
allows the default fan speed to be
configured as AU TO. When the fan
speed switch is in the AUTO position and the default fan speed is
configured as AU TO, the unit may
change fan speeds based on the
requested heating or cooling capacity. In this mode, the unit fan
will operate at LOW speed until the
requested capacity requires HIGH
fan speed operation to maintain
space comfort.
The fan mode request can be either hardwired or communicated
to the Tracer ZN.520 controller.
When both are present, the communicated request has priority
over the hardwired input. Additional flexibility in the controller al-
lows the fan speed switch to be
disabled. When this occurs, the
unit will operate at the default fan
speed unless a communicated request is present.
During OCCUPIE D, OCCUPIED
STANDBY , and OCCUPIEDBYPASS
modes, the fan will normally operate continuously at the appropriate fan speed. The fan will only be
O FF in these modes when the MAN-
UALOUTPUT TEST has been initiat-
ed, a latching diagnostic is
present, or the communicated or
hardwired fan speed is OFF. (See
“Manual Output Test” on
page48.for more information.)
During the UNOCCUPIED mode, the
unit fan is controlled OFF. When ca-
pacity is required to maintain the
unoccupied heating or cooling setpoint, the unit fan is controlled to
high speed regardless of a hardwired or communicated fan speed.

Temperature Error
Fan Off Delay
When a heating output is controlled off, the Tracer™ ZN.520
Unit Controller automatically
holds the fan on for an additional
30 seconds. This 30-second 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.
Fan Start On High Speed
On a transition from off to any other fan speed, the Tracer™ ZN.520
Unit Controller automatically
starts the fan on high speed and
runs the fan at high speed for 0.5
UV-SVP01A-EN41
Unit Operation
seconds. This provides the ample
torque required to start all fan motors from the off position.
Exhaust fan/damper
operation
This binary point is a shared point
with medium fan speed. For this
point to be used for exhaust control, the controller must be configured for a 1- or 2-speed fan. The
exhaust fan/damper is coordinated
with the unit fan and outdoor
damper operation. The exhaust
output is energized only when the
unit fan is operating and the outdoor damper position is greater
than or equal to the configurable
exhaust enable point. The exhaust
fan output is disabled when the
outdoor air damper position drops
10% below the exhaust enable
point. If the enable point is less
than 10%, the unit turns on at the
enable point and off at 0.
Valve Operation
Modulating Valves
The Tracer ZN.520 controller supports one or two modulating
valves for hydronic heating and
cooling operation. The main valve/
coil is used for cooling only, heat/
cool changeover (2-pipe applications), or cooling (4-pipe applications). The auxiliary valve/coil
provides heating in 4-pipe and
heating only applications.
At power-up, the Tracer ZN.520
controller drives the modulating
valves to the closed position. The
controller calibrates to the full
closed position by overdriving the
actuator 135%. Whenever the controller requests a valve position of
zero or 100%, the controller overdrives the actuator 135% regardless of the current valve position.
Face-and-Bypass
Isolation Valves
Face-and-bypass units may use
isolation valves to prevent unwanted water flow in the coil. This eliminates problems such as radiant
heat or excessive condensate in 2pipe systems.
In 4-pipe applications, the isolation
valves are used to prevent conflicting capacities within the unit.
Face-and-Bypass
Damper Operation
Note: The Face-and-bypass
actuator is located in the righthand end pocket of the
classroom unit ventilator.
The Tracer ZN.520 controller actuates a face-and- bypass damper to
modulate a percentage of air to the
face of the coil to maintain space
comfort. When a requested capacity is present, the unit modulates
the damper to allow more air to the
face of the coil. An averaging sensor is used on the discharge air to
provide accurate capacity control.
Figure 18: Horizontal unit with face-and-bypass damper option.
42UV-SVP01A-EN
Unit Operation
Figure 19: Vertical unit with face-andbypass damper operations
Upon power-up, the controller calibrates the face-and-bypass damper to the full bypass position by
overdriving the damper actuator.
During normal operation, whenever the Tracer ZN.520 controller
generates a face-and-bypass
damper position request of zero or
100%, the unit calibrates the actuator by overdriving the damper actuator 135%.
Entering Water
Temperature
Sampling
Units with 4-pipe changeover and
2-pipe changeover require an entering water temperature to determine if the appropriate water
temperature is present for the requested mode (heating or cooling). This temperature may be
communicated in an ICS system or
hardwired to the Tracer ZN.520
controller for standalone applications.
When a unit uses 2-way modulating valves, it is possible for the water near the entering water
temperature sensor to migrate towards ambient temperature. The
Tracer ZN.520 controller has a water sampling feature for these applications. When the sensed water
temperature is not sufficient for
the requested heat/cool mode
(5°F above the zone temperature
for heating or 5°F below the zone
temperature for cooling), the controller drives the valve fully open.
The controller then monitors the
water temperature until the appropriate temperature is sensed or
until the three minute time limit
expires. If the water temperature is
acceptable for the requested capacity, the unit continues normal
operation. If the three minute timer expires and the water temperature is still unsuitable, the unit
closes the valve and waits one
hour before invoking the sampling
feature again.

Modulating Outdoor
Air Operation
The Tracer ZN.520 controller operates a modulating (3-wire floating)
outdoor air damper actuator according to the effective occupancy, outdoor air temperature, space
temperature, effective setpoint,
discharge air temperature, and
discharge air temperature set-
point. Default minimum damper
positions are provided and can be
changed for occupied and occupied standby modes, or for low
speed operation. The controller
can also receive a communicated
outdoor air damper minimum position from Tracer Summit. A communicated minimum position
from Tracer Summit has priority
over all configured setpoints.
During the OC CUPIED mode the
outdoor air damper will always be
controlled to the effective minimum position unless ASHRAE Cycle I, ASHRAE Cycle II, or
economizing modes are active.

UV-SVP01A-EN43
Unit Operation
Automatic Outdoor Air
Damper Adjustment
The Tracer ZN.520 controller is capable of using different minimum
outdoor air damper positions for
high and low fan speeds, which are
configurable. This allows the ventilation rate to be maintained when
switching between fan speeds.
Note: The typical reduction in
airflow between high and low
fan speeds is 25%, however, if
precise control is desired, an
air balancer should be
consulted.
Economizer
Operation
Note: When there is a request
for 0% or 100% actuator
position, the actuator will
overdrive the actuator 135% to
help maintain calibration.
With a valid outdoor air temperature (hardwired or communicated),
Tracer ZN.520 uses the modulating
economizer damper as the highest
priority source of cooling.
The controller initiates the economizer function if the outdoor air
temperature is cold enough to be
used for 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 minimum position and 100% to control the
amount of cooling capacity. When
the outdoor air temperature rises
5°F above the economizer enable
setpoint, the outdoor air damper
returns to its minimum position
and mechanical cooling is initiated.
ASHRAE Cycle I
ASHRAE Cycle I admits 100% outdoor air except during the warm up
cycle or the unoccupied mode. To
set up the Tracer ZN.520 controller
for ASHRAE Cycle I conformance,
set the occupied outdoor air damper minimum position to 100%.
44UV-SVP01A-EN
ASHRAE Cycle II
The Tracer ZN.520 controller conforms to ASHRAE Cycle II by allowing the modulating outdoor air
damper to maintain a minimum
position during the occupied mode
unless economizing is enabled or
the space temperature falls more
than 3°F below the effective setpoint.
If the space temperature falls more
than 2°F below the setpoint, the
outdoor air damper will begin to
close. When the space temperature
hits 3°F below the setpoint, the
outdoor air damper is completely
closed.
Figure 22: ASHRAE cycle 2
DX Operation
Tracer ZN.520 supports direct expansion (DX) compressor operation for cooling only.
The controller does not allow both
the DX compressor and economizer to operate at the same time. This
prevents problems where the entering air temperature is too low
for the evaporator coil to operate
as designed.
Tracer ZN.520 also includes a fixed
minimum on/off time of 3 minutes
for compressor operation to prevent short cycling of the compressor.
Electric Heat
Operation
The Tracer ZN.520 controller supports 1 or 2 stages of electric heat
control.
To control space temperature,
electric heat is cycled to control the
discharge air temperature. The rate
of cycling is dependent on the load
in the space and the temperature of
the incoming fresh air.
Baseboard Heat
Operation
The Tracer ZN.520 controller can
be configured to support one stage
of baseboard heat. A 2 position
valve or an electric heat contactor
will be energized at 2.5°F below
the effective heating setpoint. The
baseboard heat is de-energized at
1°F below the effective heating
setpoint.
The unit will provide heating capacity as required regardless of the
presence of baseboard heat. If the
unit can not maintain the space
temperature, the baseboard heat
will come on as a secondary stage.
If baseboard heat is to be used as
the primary source of heating, the
discharge air high limit should be
set to a moderate temperature.
This will allow the ventilation air to
be tempered and avoid a “drafty”
feeling. The baseboard heat will
then operate as the heating capacity for the space.
In the UNOCC UPIED mode, the
baseboard heat and unit heating
capacity are brought on simultaneously as needed to maintain the
unoccupied setpoint.
Exhaust Fan
Operation
The exhaust fan is coordinated
with the unit fan and outdoor air
damper operation. The exhaust fan
output is energized only when the
unit fan is operating and the outdoor air damper position is greater
Unit Operation
than or equal to the configurable
exhaust enable setpoint. This is
useful for exhaust fans designed
to offset the added economizer
ventilation.
The exhaust fan is disabled when
the outdoor air damper position
drops 10% below the exhaust enable point. If the exhaust fan enable setpoint is less than 10%, the
Tracer ZN.520 controller energizes
the exhaust fan at the enable point
and disables it when the outdoor
air damper closes.
Output Overrides
Manual Output Test
Manual output test allows the binary outputs to be energized in a
predefined sequence.(For more in-formation see, Manual Output
Test, on page 48 for more informa-
tion.)
Water Valve Override
To enable quicker water balancing, the controller allows a user to
specify the desired state of all water valves. The values supported
are:
q Open all valves
q Close all valves
The valves in the system will remain open for two hours or until
normal operation is resumed.
The Tracer Summit or the Rover
service tool is required to access
this feature.
Fan Status
There are two ways to do fan status monitoring:
1.The status of the fan is
reported based on the state of
the binary output(s) dedicated
to fan control. The fan status
is reported as HIG H or LOW
whenever the corresponding
binary output is directed ON.
The fan status is reported as
OFF when none of the fan out-
puts are directed ON.
2.The Tracer ZN.520 controller
has a binary input available
for a fan status device (current
sensing relay or differential
pressure switch) which can
provide feedback of fan operation. If the device does not
indicate fan operation after 1
minute, a unit shutdown is initiated, and the unit is latched
OFF.
Filter Status/
Maintenance Timer
The unit filter status\maintenance
timer is based on the cumulative
run hours of the unit fan. The controller compares the fan run time
against an adjustable fan run hour
limit and recommends unit maintenance as required.
The Rover service tool is used to
edit the maintenance required setpoint time. Once the setpoint limit
is exceeded, the controller generates a MAIN TENANCEREQUIRED informational diagnostic. When the
maintenance required setpoint
time is set to zero, the controller
disables this feature.
You can use the Trace Summit or
the Rover service tool to clear the
MAINTENANC EREQUIRED informa-
tional diagnostic. Once the diagnostic is cleared, the controller
resets the fan run time to zero and
begins accumulating fan run
hours again.
Note: If at any time the unit
loses power, the timer is reset
to zero.
Other Modes
DEHUMIDIFICATION
Note: If the unit is in the
unoccupied mode, the
dehumidification routine will
not operate
Dehumidification is possible when
mechanical cooling is available;
the heating capacity is 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 coils simultaneously to
dehumidify the space. When dehumidifying, the discharge air
temperature is controlled to maintain the space temperature at the
current setpoint.
Economizing is disabled during
the dehumidification mode.
Note: While in the
dehumidification mode, if
there is a call for capacity by
the unit, the zone temperature
setpoint will take priority over
the relative humidity
setpoints.
DEFROST
For defrost operation, a sensor is
wired in series with the DX cooling
relay. When a defrost condition is
detected, the condensing unit is
disabled, and the unit is placed in
the DEFROST mode.
During DEFROST the condensing
unit is O FF the outside air damper
is set to the minimum positions,
and the fan will continue to operate as continuous. The unit will remain in the DEFROST mode until
the senor resets at 48°F. The unit
will return to NORMAL operation after the mode is discontinued.
FRE EZEAVOIDANCE
FRE EZEAVOIDANCE is used as low
ambient temperature protection,
and is only invoked when the fan is
O FF. This includes the UNOCCUPIED
mode when there is no call for capacity, or any other time the fan is
UV-SVP01A-EN45
Unit Operation
OFF due to a safety or command.
The controller enters the FRE EZE
AVOIDANCE mode when an out-
door air temperature is present
(communicated or hardwired) and
it is below the freeze avoidance setpoint (configurable). The controller
disables freeze avoidance when
the outdoor air temperature rises
3°F above the freeze avoidance
setpoint.
When the controller is in the freeze
avoidance mode:
q All water valves are driven
open to allow water flow
through the coil
q Fan is OFF
q Face-and-bypass damper
(when present) is in full BYPASS
q DX and electric heat are OFF
MORNINGWARM-UP
The Tracer ZN.520 controller keeps
the modulating outdoor air damper closed anytime during the OCCU-
PIED mode when the space
temperature is 3°F or more below
the heating setpoint.
The damper remains closed indefinitely during morning warm-up
until the space temperature is within 2°F of the effective heating setpoint. The unit runs at full capacity
until setpoint is met.
COOL-DOWN
The Tracer ZN.520 controller keeps
the modulating outdoor air damper closed for up to one hour at every transition from UNOC CUPIED to
OC CUPIED mode when the space
temperature is 3°F or more above
the cooling setpoint.
The damper remains closed during
cool-down until the space temperature is within 2°F of the effective
cooling setpoint. The unit runs at
full capacity until setpoint is met.
Data Sharing—LonWorks
Tracer ZN.520 allows peer-to-peer
data communication through the
use of LonWork’s technology. Data
such as space temperature setpoint, occupancy, etc. can be
shared from a master controller to
a peer controller over a twisted pair
of communication wire with or
without the presence of a front end
building management system.
(See Figure 23: “Simple data sharing application ”) This ability al-
lows units to operate with the
same data to prevent conflicting
control.
Data sharing is established
through the use of “bindings”.
Bindings are set up through the
Rover service tool.
The Tracer ZN.520 controller includes a network variable for master/slave operation. This variable
includes all of the information required for the slave units to operate with master controller. (See
Figure 24: “More complex data
sharing application”)
For more information on establishing bindings, see the Rover service
tool manual. For a complete listing
on shared points see “Appendix—
Data Lists” on page64.

Unit Operation
Power-Up
When 24 VAC is initially applied to
the controller, the following sequence of events occurs:
q Green status LED turns ON .
q All outputs are controlled OFF.
q The controller reads input
values to determine initial
values.
q Random-start timer expires (5
to 30 seconds).
q When POWER-UPCONTROLWAIT
is enabled, the controller waits
0-120 seconds (depending on
configuration) to allow ample
time for communicated control
data to input. If the controller
does not receive communicated information, standalone
control is assumed.
q All modulating valves and
dampers calibrate closed.
q NORMAL operation begins.
Occupancy
The valid occupancy modes for the
Tracer ZN.520 controller are:
q OCC UPIED - Normal operating
mode for occupied spaces or
daytime operation.
q UNOCCUPIED - Normal
operating mode for
unoccupied spaces or
nighttime operation.
q OCC UPIEDSTANDBY - Mode
used to reduce the heating and
cooling demands, while
providing ventilation, during
the occupied hours when the
space is vacant or unoccupied.
q OCC UPIEDBYPASS -Used to
temporarily place the unit into
the occupied operation.
The occupancy mode can be hardwired to the controller via the occupancy binary input or
communicated to the controller.
OCC UPIED mode
When the controller is in the OC CU-
PIED mode, the unit attempts to
maintain the space temperature at
the active occupied heating or
cooling setpoint.
OCC UPIED mode is the default
mode of the Tracer ZN.520 controller.
UNOCCUPIE D mode
When the controller is in the UN-
OCC UPIED mode, the unit attempts
to maintain space temperature at
the stored unoccupied heating or
cooling setpoint (i.e., configurable through Tracer Summit or
the Rover service tool) regardless
of the presence of a hardwired or
communicated setpoint. When
the space temperature exceeds
the stored unoccupied setpoint,
the controller brings on 100% of
the primary heating or cooling capacity.
The UNOCC UPIED mode can be initiated through a hardwired signal
to the occupancy binary input or
by a communicated request.
OCC UPIEDSTANDBY mode
The OC CUPIEDSTANDBY mode allows the unit to operate at a heating or cooling setpoint between
the occupied and unoccupied setpoints to help maintain the environment while decreasing energy
consumption.
This mode decreases the ventilation for heating or cooling during
brief periods of vacancy in the
space. Unit operation in this mode
is similar to the occupied mode except for the different heating and
cooling setpoints and a different
outside air damper position.
The OC CUPIEDSTANDBY mode is
initiated only when occupancy is
communicated to the Tracer
ZN.520 controller and the hardwired signal to the occupancy input is calling for unoccupied
operation.
OCC UPIEDBYPASS mode
The OCCUPIEDBY PASS mode is
used to transition the unit from the
UNOCCUPIED mode to the OCC U-
PIE D mode for a period of time
from 0 to 4 hours (configurable
through Rover. Default=RUN). The
controller can be placed in OC CU-
PIE DBYPASS mode by either com-
municating an occupancy request
of BYPASS or by using the TIMED
OVE RRIDE (i.e., ON) button on the
Trane zone sensor.
ON and CANCEL Buttons
Some Trane zone sensors have ON
and CANCEL buttons for timed over-
ride operation. Pressing the ON
button on the zone sensor when
the unit is in the UNOCC UPIED
mode initiates the OCC UPIEDBY-
PASS mode and initializes the by-
pass timer. The CANCEL button is
used to send the unit back into UN-
OCC UPIED mode before the bypass
timer has expired.
The ON button may also be used
for the unit identification or the
“WINK” feature. (See “Winking” on page38.for more information.)
When the Tracer ZN.520 controller
is connected to a Tracer Summit
system or the Rover service tool,
the ON button may be used in place
of the service pin for easy unit
identification.
Heating And Cooling
Changeover Logic
The Tracer™ ZN.520 Unit Controller can receive communicated requests for heating or cooling
operation. The communicated
variable nviApplicMode is used to
communicate the requests for the
controller's operating mode based
on the following values:
allowed)
7 = Test (special test mode)
8 = Emergency Heat not
supported
9 = Fan Only (no heating or
cooling allowed)
All other enumerations will be interpreted as Auto.
As the controller automatically determines its heating or cooling
mode, it changes from cool to heat
or from heat to cool, while the error
(integrated over time between the
active setpoint and the space tem-
perature) is (900 °Fh Sec). Integra-
tion only begins once the heating
and cooling capacity is equal to 0%
or the discharge air temperature is
being limited by the discharge air
temperature control limits.(See
Figure 17: “Heat/Cool Changeover
logic”).
Figure 17: Heat/Cool Changeover logic
If the measured space temperature
is 69 °F and the active cooling setpoint is 72 °F, the error between
the space temperature and the setpoint is three degrees. If the same
error exists for one minute (60 seconds), the integration term is
(3 °Fh60 Sec) or (180 °Fh Sec).
The Tracer™ ZN.520 Unit Controller changes from heating to cooling and cooling to heating when
the integration term exceeds
(900 °FhSec). Along with satisfying the integration for heating and
cooling changeover, the measured
space temperature must fall outside the setpoint range. This
means the space temperature
must be greater than the active
40UV-SVP01A-EN
cooling setpoint or lower than the
active heating setpoint.
Example: If the cooling setpoint is
75°F and the heating setpoint
70°F, any space temperature
greater than 75°F or less than 70°F
is outside the setpoint range.
Once the integration term is satisfied and the space temperature is
outside the setpoint range, the
controller changes modes. However, before the unit's heating or
cooling capacity ramps up, the
controller checks to make sure it is
capable of heating or cooling.
For some units, heating and cooling capability exists with local resources such as electric heat or
compressors. For these units, central heating or cooling plan operation is not required for heating or
cooling because they are capable
of providing their own local heating or cooling.
For 2-pipe changeover and 4-pipe
changeover units with hydronic capacity, heating and cooling is provided through hydronic. For those
hydronic, central heating or cooling plant operation is required for
the unit to deliver heating or cooling. To determine whether the central plant is providing the desired
water temperature, an entering
water temperature sensor (either
hardwired or communicated) must
be present.
Unit Operation
The entering water must be five
degrees or more above the space
temperature to allow hydronic
heating, and five degrees or more
below the space temperature to allow hydronic cooling.
If the desired water temperature is
available, the unit begins normal
heating and cooling operation. If
the measured entering water temperature is not adequate for the
desired heating or cooling, the
controller begins the entering water temperature sampling logic.
The Tracer™ ZN.520 Unit Controller operates the modulating valves
and dampers based on a heating
or cooling capacity calculated by
the control algorithm. The control
algorithm calculates the heating or
cooling capacity based on the
measured space temperature, the
active setpoint and the discharge
air temperature. When the measured space temperature is within
the active heating and cooling setpoints, the heating and cooling capacity approaches zero.
Cooling Operation
During the C OOLING mode, the
Tracer ZN.520 controller attempts
to maintain the space temperature
at the active cooling setpoint.
Based on the controller’s occupancy mode, the active cooling setpoint is one of the following:
setpoint
q 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 (0-100%). The outputs are controlled based on the unit configuration and the requested cooling
capacity.
Heating Operation
During the H EATING mode, the
Tracer ZN.520 controller attempts
to maintain the space temperature
at the active heating setpoint.
Based on the controller’s occupancy mode, the active heating setpoint is one of the following:
setpoint
q Unoccupied heating setpoint
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 requested heating
capacity.
Fan Operation
For multiple fan speed applications, the Tracer ZN.520 controller
allows separate default fan speeds
to be configured for heating and
cooling modes. When the fan
mode switch is in the AUTO position or no hardwired input exists,
the fan operates at the configured
default fan speed (i.e, HIGH).
The Tracer ZN.520 controller also
allows the default fan speed to be
configured as AU TO. When the fan
speed switch is in the AUTO position and the default fan speed is
configured as AU TO, the unit may
change fan speeds based on the
requested heating or cooling capacity. In this mode, the unit fan
will operate at LOW speed until the
requested capacity requires HIGH
fan speed operation to maintain
space comfort.
The fan mode request can be either hardwired or communicated
to the Tracer ZN.520 controller.
When both are present, the communicated request has priority
over the hardwired input. Additional flexibility in the controller al-
lows the fan speed switch to be
disabled. When this occurs, the
unit will operate at the default fan
speed unless a communicated request is present.
During OCCUPIE D, OCCUPIED
STANDBY , and OCCUPIEDBYPASS
modes, the fan will normally operate continuously at the appropriate fan speed. The fan will only be
O FF in these modes when the MAN-
UALOUTPUT TEST has been initiat-
ed, a latching diagnostic is
present, or the communicated or
hardwired fan speed is OFF. (See
“Manual Output Test” on
page48.for more information.)
During the UNOCCUPIED mode, the
unit fan is controlled OFF. When ca-
pacity is required to maintain the
unoccupied heating or cooling setpoint, the unit fan is controlled to
high speed regardless of a hardwired or communicated fan speed.

Temperature Error
Fan Off Delay
When a heating output is controlled off, the Tracer™ ZN.520
Unit Controller automatically
holds the fan on for an additional
30 seconds. This 30-second 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.
Fan Start On High Speed
On a transition from off to any other fan speed, the Tracer™ ZN.520
Unit Controller automatically
starts the fan on high speed and
runs the fan at high speed for 0.5
UV-SVP01A-EN41
Unit Operation
seconds. This provides the ample
torque required to start all fan motors from the off position.
Exhaust fan/damper
operation
This binary point is a shared point
with medium fan speed. For this
point to be used for exhaust control, the controller must be configured for a 1- or 2-speed fan. The
exhaust fan/damper is coordinated
with the unit fan and outdoor
damper operation. The exhaust
output is energized only when the
unit fan is operating and the outdoor damper position is greater
than or equal to the configurable
exhaust enable point. The exhaust
fan output is disabled when the
outdoor air damper position drops
10% below the exhaust enable
point. If the enable point is less
than 10%, the unit turns on at the
enable point and off at 0.
Valve Operation
Modulating Valves
The Tracer ZN.520 controller supports one or two modulating
valves for hydronic heating and
cooling operation. The main valve/
coil is used for cooling only, heat/
cool changeover (2-pipe applications), or cooling (4-pipe applications). The auxiliary valve/coil
provides heating in 4-pipe and
heating only applications.
At power-up, the Tracer ZN.520
controller drives the modulating
valves to the closed position. The
controller calibrates to the full
closed position by overdriving the
actuator 135%. Whenever the controller requests a valve position of
zero or 100%, the controller overdrives the actuator 135% regardless of the current valve position.
Face-and-Bypass
Isolation Valves
Face-and-bypass units may use
isolation valves to prevent unwanted water flow in the coil. This eliminates problems such as radiant
heat or excessive condensate in 2pipe systems.
In 4-pipe applications, the isolation
valves are used to prevent conflicting capacities within the unit.
Face-and-Bypass
Damper Operation
Note: The Face-and-bypass
actuator is located in the righthand end pocket of the
classroom unit ventilator.
The Tracer ZN.520 controller actuates a face-and- bypass damper to
modulate a percentage of air to the
face of the coil to maintain space
comfort. When a requested capacity is present, the unit modulates
the damper to allow more air to the
face of the coil. An averaging sensor is used on the discharge air to
provide accurate capacity control.
Figure 18: Horizontal unit with face-and-bypass damper option.
42UV-SVP01A-EN
Unit Operation
Figure 19: Vertical unit with face-andbypass damper operations
Upon power-up, the controller calibrates the face-and-bypass damper to the full bypass position by
overdriving the damper actuator.
During normal operation, whenever the Tracer ZN.520 controller
generates a face-and-bypass
damper position request of zero or
100%, the unit calibrates the actuator by overdriving the damper actuator 135%.
Entering Water
Temperature
Sampling
Units with 4-pipe changeover and
2-pipe changeover require an entering water temperature to determine if the appropriate water
temperature is present for the requested mode (heating or cooling). This temperature may be
communicated in an ICS system or
hardwired to the Tracer ZN.520
controller for standalone applications.
When a unit uses 2-way modulating valves, it is possible for the water near the entering water
temperature sensor to migrate towards ambient temperature. The
Tracer ZN.520 controller has a water sampling feature for these applications. When the sensed water
temperature is not sufficient for
the requested heat/cool mode
(5°F above the zone temperature
for heating or 5°F below the zone
temperature for cooling), the controller drives the valve fully open.
The controller then monitors the
water temperature until the appropriate temperature is sensed or
until the three minute time limit
expires. If the water temperature is
acceptable for the requested capacity, the unit continues normal
operation. If the three minute timer expires and the water temperature is still unsuitable, the unit
closes the valve and waits one
hour before invoking the sampling
feature again.

Modulating Outdoor
Air Operation
The Tracer ZN.520 controller operates a modulating (3-wire floating)
outdoor air damper actuator according to the effective occupancy, outdoor air temperature, space
temperature, effective setpoint,
discharge air temperature, and
discharge air temperature set-
point. Default minimum damper
positions are provided and can be
changed for occupied and occupied standby modes, or for low
speed operation. The controller
can also receive a communicated
outdoor air damper minimum position from Tracer Summit. A communicated minimum position
from Tracer Summit has priority
over all configured setpoints.
During the OC CUPIED mode the
outdoor air damper will always be
controlled to the effective minimum position unless ASHRAE Cycle I, ASHRAE Cycle II, or
economizing modes are active.

the vertical unit ventilator

UV-SVP01A-EN43
Unit Operation
Automatic Outdoor Air
Damper Adjustment
The Tracer ZN.520 controller is capable of using different minimum
outdoor air damper positions for
high and low fan speeds, which are
configurable. This allows the ventilation rate to be maintained when
switching between fan speeds.
Note: The typical reduction in
airflow between high and low
fan speeds is 25%, however, if
precise control is desired, an
air balancer should be
consulted.
Economizer
Operation
Note: When there is a request
for 0% or 100% actuator
position, the actuator will
overdrive the actuator 135% to
help maintain calibration.
With a valid outdoor air temperature (hardwired or communicated),
Tracer ZN.520 uses the modulating
economizer damper as the highest
priority source of cooling.
The controller initiates the economizer function if the outdoor air
temperature is cold enough to be
used for 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 minimum position and 100% to control the
amount of cooling capacity. When
the outdoor air temperature rises
5°F above the economizer enable
setpoint, the outdoor air damper
returns to its minimum position
and mechanical cooling is initiated.
ASHRAE Cycle I
ASHRAE Cycle I admits 100% outdoor air except during the warm up
cycle or the unoccupied mode. To
set up the Tracer ZN.520 controller
for ASHRAE Cycle I conformance,
set the occupied outdoor air damper minimum position to 100%.
44UV-SVP01A-EN
ASHRAE Cycle II
The Tracer ZN.520 controller conforms to ASHRAE Cycle II by allowing the modulating outdoor air
damper to maintain a minimum
position during the occupied mode
unless economizing is enabled or
the space temperature falls more
than 3°F below the effective setpoint.
If the space temperature falls more
than 2°F below the setpoint, the
outdoor air damper will begin to
close. When the space temperature
hits 3°F below the setpoint, the
outdoor air damper is completely
closed.
Figure 22: ASHRAE cycle 2
DX Operation
Tracer ZN.520 supports direct expansion (DX) compressor operation for cooling only.
The controller does not allow both
the DX compressor and economizer to operate at the same time. This
prevents problems where the entering air temperature is too low
for the evaporator coil to operate
as designed.
Tracer ZN.520 also includes a fixed
minimum on/off time of 3 minutes
for compressor operation to prevent short cycling of the compressor.
Electric Heat
Operation
The Tracer ZN.520 controller supports 1 or 2 stages of electric heat
control.
To control space temperature,
electric heat is cycled to control the
discharge air temperature. The rate
of cycling is dependent on the load
in the space and the temperature of
the incoming fresh air.
Baseboard Heat
Operation
The Tracer ZN.520 controller can
be configured to support one stage
of baseboard heat. A 2 position
valve or an electric heat contactor
will be energized at 2.5°F below
the effective heating setpoint. The
baseboard heat is de-energized at
1°F below the effective heating
setpoint.
The unit will provide heating capacity as required regardless of the
presence of baseboard heat. If the
unit can not maintain the space
temperature, the baseboard heat
will come on as a secondary stage.
If baseboard heat is to be used as
the primary source of heating, the
discharge air high limit should be
set to a moderate temperature.
This will allow the ventilation air to
be tempered and avoid a “drafty”
feeling. The baseboard heat will
then operate as the heating capacity for the space.
In the UNOCC UPIED mode, the
baseboard heat and unit heating
capacity are brought on simultaneously as needed to maintain the
unoccupied setpoint.
Exhaust Fan
Operation
The exhaust fan is coordinated
with the unit fan and outdoor air
damper operation. The exhaust fan
output is energized only when the
unit fan is operating and the outdoor air damper position is greater
Unit Operation
than or equal to the configurable
exhaust enable setpoint. This is
useful for exhaust fans designed
to offset the added economizer
ventilation.
The exhaust fan is disabled when
the outdoor air damper position
drops 10% below the exhaust enable point. If the exhaust fan enable setpoint is less than 10%, the
Tracer ZN.520 controller energizes
the exhaust fan at the enable point
and disables it when the outdoor
air damper closes.
Output Overrides
Manual Output Test
Manual output test allows the binary outputs to be energized in a
predefined sequence.(For more in-formation see, Manual Output
Test, on page 48 for more informa-
tion.)
Water Valve Override
To enable quicker water balancing, the controller allows a user to
specify the desired state of all water valves. The values supported
are:
q Open all valves
q Close all valves
The valves in the system will remain open for two hours or until
normal operation is resumed.
The Tracer Summit or the Rover
service tool is required to access
this feature.
Fan Status
There are two ways to do fan status monitoring:
1.The status of the fan is
reported based on the state of
the binary output(s) dedicated
to fan control. The fan status
is reported as HIG H or LOW
whenever the corresponding
binary output is directed ON.
The fan status is reported as
OFF when none of the fan out-
puts are directed ON.
2.The Tracer ZN.520 controller
has a binary input available
for a fan status device (current
sensing relay or differential
pressure switch) which can
provide feedback of fan operation. If the device does not
indicate fan operation after 1
minute, a unit shutdown is initiated, and the unit is latched
OFF.
Filter Status/
Maintenance Timer
The unit filter status\maintenance
timer is based on the cumulative
run hours of the unit fan. The controller compares the fan run time
against an adjustable fan run hour
limit and recommends unit maintenance as required.
The Rover service tool is used to
edit the maintenance required setpoint time. Once the setpoint limit
is exceeded, the controller generates a MAIN TENANCEREQUIRED informational diagnostic. When the
maintenance required setpoint
time is set to zero, the controller
disables this feature.
You can use the Trace Summit or
the Rover service tool to clear the
MAINTENANC EREQUIRED informa-
tional diagnostic. Once the diagnostic is cleared, the controller
resets the fan run time to zero and
begins accumulating fan run
hours again.
Note: If at any time the unit
loses power, the timer is reset
to zero.
Other Modes
DEHUMIDIFICATION
Note: If the unit is in the
unoccupied mode, the
dehumidification routine will
not operate
Dehumidification is possible when
mechanical cooling is available;
the heating capacity is 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 coils simultaneously to
dehumidify the space. When dehumidifying, the discharge air
temperature is controlled to maintain the space temperature at the
current setpoint.
Economizing is disabled during
the dehumidification mode.
Note: While in the
dehumidification mode, if
there is a call for capacity by
the unit, the zone temperature
setpoint will take priority over
the relative humidity
setpoints.
DEFROST
For defrost operation, a sensor is
wired in series with the DX cooling
relay. When a defrost condition is
detected, the condensing unit is
disabled, and the unit is placed in
the DEFROST mode.
During DEFROST the condensing
unit is O FF the outside air damper
is set to the minimum positions,
and the fan will continue to operate as continuous. The unit will remain in the DEFROST mode until
the senor resets at 48°F. The unit
will return to NORMAL operation after the mode is discontinued.
FRE EZEAVOIDANCE
FRE EZEAVOIDANCE is used as low
ambient temperature protection,
and is only invoked when the fan is
O FF. This includes the UNOCCUPIED
mode when there is no call for capacity, or any other time the fan is
UV-SVP01A-EN45
Unit Operation
OFF due to a safety or command.
The controller enters the FRE EZE
AVOIDANCE mode when an out-
door air temperature is present
(communicated or hardwired) and
it is below the freeze avoidance setpoint (configurable). The controller
disables freeze avoidance when
the outdoor air temperature rises
3°F above the freeze avoidance
setpoint.
When the controller is in the freeze
avoidance mode:
q All water valves are driven
open to allow water flow
through the coil
q Fan is OFF
q Face-and-bypass damper
(when present) is in full BYPASS
q DX and electric heat are OFF
MORNINGWARM-UP
The Tracer ZN.520 controller keeps
the modulating outdoor air damper closed anytime during the OCCU-
PIED mode when the space
temperature is 3°F or more below
the heating setpoint.
The damper remains closed indefinitely during morning warm-up
until the space temperature is within 2°F of the effective heating setpoint. The unit runs at full capacity
until setpoint is met.
COOL-DOWN
The Tracer ZN.520 controller keeps
the modulating outdoor air damper closed for up to one hour at every transition from UNOC CUPIED to
OC CUPIED mode when the space
temperature is 3°F or more above
the cooling setpoint.
The damper remains closed during
cool-down until the space temperature is within 2°F of the effective
cooling setpoint. The unit runs at
full capacity until setpoint is met.
Data Sharing—LonWorks
Tracer ZN.520 allows peer-to-peer
data communication through the
use of LonWork’s technology. Data
such as space temperature setpoint, occupancy, etc. can be
shared from a master controller to
a peer controller over a twisted pair
of communication wire with or
without the presence of a front end
building management system.
(See Figure 23: “Simple data sharing application ”) This ability al-
lows units to operate with the
same data to prevent conflicting
control.
Data sharing is established
through the use of “bindings”.
Bindings are set up through the
Rover service tool.
The Tracer ZN.520 controller includes a network variable for master/slave operation. This variable
includes all of the information required for the slave units to operate with master controller. (See
Figure 24: “More complex data

Troubleshooting
Safeties
Freeze Protection
The Tracer ZN.520 controller has
two methods of freeze protection.
1.An optional binary freezestat
that is wired to a binary input.
The freezestat is a capillary
tube type and is factory set to
35°F. When this device opens,
a “Low Coil Temp Detect”
diagnostic is generated.
2. Using the discharge air temperature sensor, if the discharge air temperature falls
below the discharge air low
limit, the controller increases
the heating capacity to temper
the air. If the discharge air
temperature remains below
the discharge air low limit for
3 minutes, the controller generates a “Low Coil Temp
Detect” diagnostic.
Fan Failure
A “Low Air Flow—Fan Failure” diagnostic is generated when a fan
status device is present and fails to
close after 1 minute of unit start-up
or when it opens for more than 1
minute during normal unit operation.
Space Temperature
Failure
If the Tracer ZN.520 has validated
a space temperature input and
then the input becomes invalid, a
space temperature failure diagnostic occurs.
Entering Water
Temperature Failure
If the Tracer ZN.520 has validated
an entering water temperature input and then the input becomes invalid, an entering water temperature failure diagnostic occurs.
Discharge Air
Temperature Limit
When the discharge air exceeds
the high or low limit setpoint and
the unit can not correct it by altering capacity, a “Discharge Air
Temp Limit” diagnostic is generated.
Outdoor Air Temperature
Failure
If the Tracer ZN.520 has validated
an outdoor air temperature input
and then the input becomes invalid, an outdoor air temperature
failure diagnostic occurs.
Humidity Input Failure
If the Tracer ZN.520 has validated
a relative humidity input and then
the input becomes invalid, a humidity input failure diagnostic occurs.
CO2 Sensor Failure
If the Tracer ZN.520 has validated
input and then the input be-
a CO
2
comes invalid, a CO
diagnostic occurs.
input failure
2
Generic AIP Failure
If the Tracer ZN.520 has validated
a generic analog input and then
the input becomes invalid, a generic analog input failure diagnostic occurs.
Defrosting-Compressor
Lockout
The defrost stat used with Tracer
ZN.520 on DX units is wired in series with the condensing unit.
When it opens to indicate a frost
condition, the Tracer ZN.520 senses the open circuit and de-energizes the condensing unit output. A
defrosting diagnostic is generated
at this point.
Maintenance Required
Note: If power to the unit is
cycled or discontinued for any
reason, all maintenance timers
are automatically reset.
The “Maintenance Required” diagnostic is generated when the fan
run-time exceeds the configurable
limit. This diagnostic is useful for
filter change notification.
Local Fan Mode Failure
If the hardwired fan mode input to
the Tracer ZN.520 controller is
present and then becomes invalid,
a local fan mode failure diagnostic
is generated.
Local Setpoint Failure
If the hardwired setpoint input to
the Tracer ZN.520 controller is
present and then becomes invalid,
a local setpoint failure diagnostic
is generated.
Generic Temperature
Failure
If the Tracer ZN.520 has validated
a generic temperature input and
then the input becomes invalid, a
generic temperature input failure
diagnostic occurs.
Invalid Unit
Configuration
If the Tracer ZN.520 has been configured improperly or loses its
configuration, an invalid unit configuration diagnostic is generated.
The unit must be re-configured
with a valid configuration to correct this problem.

Unit wiring
The wiring between the controller outputs and the outdoor air damper must be present and correct for
normal damper operation.
The controller must be properly configured based on the actual installed end devices and application.
Unit configuration
When the unit configuration does not match the actual end devices, the damper may not work
correctly.
The controller includes a manual output test sequence you can use to verify output operation and
Manual output test
associated output wiring. However, based on the current step in the test sequence, the unit damper
may be open. For more information see, Manual Output Test, on page 48 for more information.)
The controller opens and closes the outdoor air damper based on the controller's occupancy mode and
fan operation. Normally, the outdoor air damper is open during
Normal operation
OCCUPI EDBYPASS mode when the fan is running and closed during UN OCCUPIED mode unless the
controller is economizing. For more information see, Modulating Outdoor Air Operation, on page 43 for
more information.)

Appendix—Timeclock
Setting the Time
Clock
The time clock must be programmed for the unit to operate
in occupied mode (under load). If
not programmed, the unit will run
in the unoccupied mode. Power
must be supplied to the unit for the
time clock to be set.
The following procedure covers:
q setting the current time and
day
q setting the program (events)
q reviewing and changing the
programs, and
q overriding programs
(manually)

Set the Time and Day
The time clock (Figure 36) is located behind the access door on the
top right of the unit.
1.Press Res. (Reset) to clear the
display and any program data.
The “day” numbers (1-7) will
blink.
2.Hold h (Hour) in and toggle
±1h to select military or a.m./
p.m. mode. If a.m/p.m. is
UV-SVP01A-EN65
elected, AM appears in the
display. Release h.
3.Press and hold (¹) (Run). If
daylight savings time is in
effect, ±1h should appear in
the display. If not, press ±1h
to clear.
4.Still holding (¹) down, set the
current hour and minutes by
pressing h and m respectively. Then set the day with
the Day key using the number
corresponding to the day of
Minute
the week (1 is Monday, 7 is
Sunday).
5.Release (¹) and the colon “:”
in the display will begin flashing.
Set the Program
Determine in advance how you
want the unit to operate.
For normal occupied operation,
the unit “load” is set ON, whether
in heating or cooling. This means
Appendix—Timeclock
O
O
the unit will respond differently to
changing conditions and maintain
a higher comfort level.
For unoccupied operation or “no
load” conditions, a lower comfort
level is provided. The load can be
switched off by using the program
for periods when the room will be
unoccupied.
Note: If the room will be
unoccupied, the time clock
should be programmed
accordingly to conserve
energy. The position of the
outside damper can allow too
much outside air in an
unoccupied space if the unit’s
time clock is set for “load” or
occupied mode and can result
in unnecessary unit cycling
and undesirable heat transfer.
Remember that the program is
easily changed and can also be
overridden after it is initially
set.
1.Press the Prog. key. Spaces or
fields for entering time (hours
and minutes) appear as dashes
separated by a colon.
2.Press Prog. again. The num-
ber of free (available) programs is given in this case to
be “Fr20” or 20.
3.Press Prog. again to return to
the event time mode.
4.Toggle the “Load” key on ()
1or off (O) to link the time with
the action.
In the example from the preceding step, you would set the
load ON.
5.Enter the time for the first program event.
For example, should you want
the unit to operate under load
for an occupied period at 8:00
a.m., enter “ 08:00” AM on
the display using the h and m
keys. Better yet, enter the time
a half hour or so before the
arrival of people, so the unit
will bring the room up (or
down” to the preset occupied
temperature setpoints).
6. If the program event you just
entered will be the same every
day (as indicated by all seven
day numbers at the top of the
display) you can press Prog.
to lock in that event and go to
the next event. If not and the
program will vary during the
week (e.g. different program
for the weekend), don’t press
Prog. go to the following step.
Note: If you press Prog. by
mistake, simply continue to
press Prog. until the event
comes up in review and make
the change.
7. With the time and hour for the
event set, select the day or
days for which the event
applies by pressing the Day
key. Toggling the Day key
gives you ten options for individual days or combinations
that can be applied. Select one
and lock it in by pressing
Prog.
In the example, if you only
want the unit to operate under
load for the time set for weekdays, you would select “1 2 3 4
5” by pressing Day, then
select another program event
for the weekend.
8. Repeat the preceding steps to
set the next program event. A
“load: event is followed by an
“unload” event. For example if
the unit is programmed for a
load condition in the morning,
you could program the unit to
unload later in the day or at
night when the room will
become unoccupied for a
period. If the occupied and
unoccupied periods vary
widely but predictably, you
can program a cycle of events
during any day or combination
of days (up to 20 events)
9.Note: If only one event is programmed, the unit will remain
in that load or unload condition all the time.
10. When all the events are programmed, press the (¹) (run)
key for normal operation. The
current time as set will be displayed, along with the run
symbol (¹).
Review and Change
Programs
To review a program and events at
any time, press Prog. at any time.
Programs events will be displayed
in the sequence they were entered
with repeated presses of Prog.
To change a program, select the
event as in the previous paragraph
and alter the new data (day, hour
minute) as desired to overwrite the
old program. Press Prog to store
the data.
To delete a program event, select
the event again and press h and m
until dashes appear in the time display. Press either Prog. or (¹) until
the dashes flash in the display.
To reset all program data, press
Res.
Override Program
(Manual Operation)
While in the Run mode (¹ symbol
in display), press the hand key
to reverse the load status (e.g. if
the load was ON, it is now OFF). A
hand symbol appears to indicate the override is active.
At the next scheduled event, automatic (program) control will resume eliminating the override.
To switch the load permanently ON, press the key a second
time. [] appears in the display.
