Chapter 1

Overview
The Tracker building automation system (BAS) is an energy management
system for small- to medium-size buildings. The Tracker BAS controls
heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. It consists
of a Tracker controller (Figure 1) and an optional PC workstation.
The Tracker BAS can be operated by using either a Tracker controller or a
PC workstation that is running Tracker PC Workstation software. A
visual interface enables an operator to set up and change HVAC
operating parameters and to collect and display building information.
The Tracker PC Workstation software allows a PC to be connected to the
Tracker controller directly with a prescribed adapter and cable, locally
over a standard Ethernet local area network (LAN) connection, or
remotely with a modem and standard phone line.
The Tracker BAS supports Comm5 communications architecture, which
is the Trane implementation of LonTalk® protocol. It resides on a network
(Figure 2 on page 2 and Figure 3 on page 3) that includes HVAC and
other comfort-related equipment, such as Trane VariTrac zoning systems;
zoning controls; unit control modules (UCMs), which control and monitor
other HVAC equipment; Tracer LCI-V (LonTalk® communication
interfaces for Voyager rooftop controls); Tracer LCI-R (LonTalk®
communication interfaces for ReliaTel rooftop controls); external input/
output (I/O) devices, which help to monitor and control specific areas or
devices; and miscellaneous equipment such as sensors, lights, and fans.

Chapter 1 Overview

Main module
The main module (Figure 6) is a housing that contains the main logic
board and the Ethernet board. The main module can be “hot swapped”: it
can be removed and installed without removing power from the
termination module. When the main module is installed onto a powered
termination module, it receives power and begins to operate
automatically.
The main logic board provides an Ethernet LAN port, a PC interface port,
and a modem port. It provides an internal interface to termination
module I/O. It also provides Comm5 communication, 24 VAC power,
alarm, and communication indicators. It communicates and exchanges
data with the devices wired to the termination module. It also
communicates with the display module.
The Ethernet board provides two LED indicators. One shows that an
Ethernet link is detected; the other shows that there is serial traffic
between the Ethernet board and the main logic board.

Mount the termination module

Mount the termination module
After selecting a suitable location for the Tracker controller, mount the
termination module. Mounting consists of securing the termination
module to a wall or a 2 in. × 4 in. recessed conduit box (mounted vertically
or horizontally) or a 4 in. × 4 in. recessed conduit box (several European
electrical box sizes are also usable) and installing electrical conduit
(optional). Figure 12 shows the conduit access and mounting holes on the
termination module.

Securing the termination module to a wall
1. Mark the location of the two mounting holes on the wall.
2. Set the termination module aside and drill mounting holes.
3. Secure the termination module to the wall with the supplied hardware (#10 × 1 in. screw with plastic anchor).

Securing the termination module to a conduit box
1. Remove the screws from the conduit box.
2. Line up the conduit box screw holes on the termination module
(Figure 12 on page 19) with the screw holes on the conduit box.
3. Install the screws.
Note:
When mounting the termination module to a 4 in. × 4 in.
conduit box, removing the plastic cover over the box will
provide easier access. Do not attempt to break away excess
plastic. Instead, use a hack saw blade and carefully cut away
the plastic.

BMTK-SVN01D-EN

Mount the termination module

Installing electrical conduit
Use the conduit openings on the top of the Tracker termination module to
supply power or communication wires to the controller.
If the controller is mounted on a wall, you must use electrical conduit. If
the controller is mounted to a conduit box through which power, input/
output, and communications are supplied, you do not need to use
electrical conduit.

IMPORTANT
The 24 Vac wire conduit may not contain input/output or communication wires. Failure to comply will cause the Tracker controller to malfunction due to electrical noise.
1. Remove one of the 7/8 in. (22 mm) diameter plugs at the top of the termination module (Figure 13).
2. Install 1/2 in. (12 mm) conduit connector (Figure 12 on page 19) in
opening.
3. Install the conduit jamb nut on the conduit connector threads and
tighten it to secure the connector to the Tracker panel.

BMTK-SVN01D-EN

Wire the UCMs

Wire the UCMs
The Comm5 communication link connects unit control modules (UCMs)
to the Tracker termination module. Each controller has one Comm5
communication link. This topic includes information and procedures for
wiring a UCM to a termination module:
Note:
Do not exceed the maximum number of UCMs that can
communicate on a Tracker controller (see “UCM maximum
capacities for Tracker models 12 and 24” on page 10 for details).

Wire specifications
Tracker Comm5 communication-link and sensor wiring is low-voltage
Class 2 wire and must be field-supplied and installed in compliance with
NEC and local codes. To prevent electrical noise interference, all wiring
must comply with requirements outlined in this topic for wire selection
and link-wiring topology.
Trane recommends that you use Level 4 (Echelon) shielded cable for the
Tracker communication link wiring between the Tracker and the Comm5
UCMs to which it communicates. Trane also recommends that you use it
for communication wiring between the VariTrac CCP and its associated
VariTrac or VariTrane UCMs, and for sensor wiring to these devices.
Level 4 cable is available in shielded, plenum and non-plenum versions.
Level 4 cable is available from Trane-approved suppliers as well as other
suppliers. Table 7 on page 30 shows the Trane approved suppliers;
Table 8 on page 31 provides the specifications for Level 4 compliant
cables.

Chapter 3 Termination board wiring

Termination resistor placement for Comm5 links
Install one 105 Ω resistor across the communication link terminals of the
device at the beginning of the daisy chain, which is typically a Tracker
controller. Then install a second 105 Ω resistor across the communication
terminals at the last UCM on each link. See Figure 17 on page 35 for an
example of a link that begins with a Tracker controller. See Figure 18 on
page 36 for an example of a link that does not begin with a Tracker
controller.
Note:
If, after installation, the link is extended to add more UCMs,
the resistor must be relocated to the new last UCM on the link.

IMPORTANT
For maximum performance of the Comm5 link, use the 105 Ω resistors
that are included with the Tracker controller. If they are not available, as
a second choice, use a 100 Ω, ¼ W, 5% tolerance resistor, or as a third
choice, a 110 Ω, ¼ W, 5% tolerance resistor. Failure to comply may cause
the controller to malfunction.
The resistor value can be determined by reading its color bands. Table 9
provide the resistor color coding.

If a repeater is used, each link of the configuration that is created by the
repeater requires termination resistors (see “Requirements for repeaters
on Comm5 communication links” on page 37).
Create a set of as-built drawings or a map of the communication wire
layout during installation. Ensure that sketches of the communication
layout show the placement of the termination resistors.

Wire the UCMs

Wire supported UCMs
Wire the supported UCMs to the Tracker termination board. When
installing communication wire:

•
•

Keep the polarity consistent throughout the site. Although Comm5 is
not polarity sensitive, consistency will improve serviceability.
Strip away a maximum of 2 inches (50 mm) of the outer conductor
and foil shield when splicing or terminating shielded wire.

IMPORTANT
Use extreme care when stripping away the outer conductor and foil
shield. Be careful not to nick the insulating jacket of the two conductors. A nick in the insulating jacket will cause communication problems.
Wire the UCMs as follows:
1. Install termination resistors in the correct locations.
2. Route input wires into the termination module through the conduit
box or any of the conduit openings designated for input and communication wiring (Figure 12 on page 19).
3. Connect the wires to the COMM terminals on the termination board
(Figure 14 on page 24).
4. Connect the shield to the ground terminal.
5. Connect the other end of the wires to the UCMs, as necessary.

Requirements for repeaters on Comm5 communication
links
The Comm5 communication link repeater is a device that repeats and
regenerates the signal on a Comm5 link in order to enhance signal
quality or extend the length of the run. The Comm5 link goes from the
Tracker controller to the UCMs to the repeater. A second link segment
extends from the other side of the repeater to the rest of the devices. The
configuration on either side of the repeater must be a daisy-chain
configuration. Both link segments require termination.
A link repeater is required when:

•
•

The total wire length is greater than the maximum wire run length of
4593 ft (1400 m) for a daisy-chain configuration.
More than 60 devices are connected to a link. This total does not
include the Tracker controller, the link repeater, and the possible use
of the Rover service tool on the same link.

The link repeater has several limitations:

•
•

BMTK-SVN01D-EN

Only one link repeater can be used on a link.
The use of a repeater doubles the maximum allowable wire length.
For example, when a repeater is used with a daisy-chain configuration, the total wire length can be 9186 ft (2800 m) (with half the wire
length on either side of the repeater).

Chapter 3 Termination board wiring

•
•

The link repeater is limited to 60 devices on either side of the link
(120 devices total).
The link repeater requires an earth ground. The installer should be
aware of this before making power connections.

Recommended shield connections are shown in Figure 19. Figure 20 on
page 39 shows a daisy-chain repeater connection. Follow these guidelines
when using a repeater:

•
•

•

Reference the installation information that comes with the link
repeater (Comm5 repeater installation, 3270 3285).
Connect the shield-drain wires entering the repeater to a terminal
marked with a capacitor symbol. The entering shield-drain wire must
be connected to earth ground at the Tracker controller.
Connect the shield-drain wires leaving the repeater to the repeater
terminal marked with an earth ground symbol.

Main module mounting
After mounting and wiring the termination module, attach the main
module to the termination module. This chapter provides information and
procedures that enable you to mount the main module.
Note:
The Tracker controller ships with the display module
assembled to the main module. If those two modules are
assembled, performing this procedure also mounts the display
module.
Note:
It is not necessary to turn off 24 Vac power to the Tracker
controller prior to mounting or removing the main module.
1. Verify that all wires on the termination module are securely fastened
in place.
2. Carefully line up the alignment pins on the termination module with
the back side of the main module (Figure 21 on page 42).

CAUTION
Avoid Equipment Damage!
Do not use excessive force when mounting the module. If the module
does not snap easily into place, slightly reposition it on the alignment
pins. Failure to comply may cause damage to the module.
3. Firmly push the main module onto the termination module until it
snaps into place. If 24 Vac power is applied, the main module will
start. If the display module is not assembled to the main module, you
will see the LEDs on the main module flash on and off after a few seconds. If the display module is assembled to the main module, it will
turn on and display information.

assembled, you need only to perform the main module
mounting procedure (Chapter 4, “Main module mounting”).
Note:
It is not necessary to turn off 24 Vac power to the Tracker
controller prior to mounting or removing the display module.
1. Tilt the top of the display module about 30 degrees toward you.
2. Line up the three tabs on the bottom of the display module with the
slots on the bottom of the main module (Figure 22 on page 44).
3. Starting with the center tab, insert the tabs into the slots.

CAUTION
Avoid Equipment Damage!
Do not use excessive force when mounting the module. If the module
does not snap easily into place, slightly reposition it on the alignment
pins. Failure to comply may cause damage to the module.
4. Push the top of the display module toward the main module until it
snaps into place while making sure that the tabs on the display module engage the slots on the main module (Figure 23 on page 45). If 24

Symptom/action troubleshooting

Symptom/action troubleshooting
Table 14 provides a list of symptoms that indicate a problem in the Tracker system.
For each symptom, the table provides one or more actions that you can perform in an
attempt to resolve the problem.
Table 14. Symptom/action troubleshooting
Symptom

Action

Tracker controller does not
communicate by modem.

• Verify that the telephone cable is connected to the PC modem port (Figure 24 on
page 48).

• Verify that the phone line is an analog line (not digital).
• Perform the modem self-test procedure from the display module.
Note: The modem is an integral component of the main module and is not field replaceable.
Replacement of the modem requires replacement of the main module.

Tracker controller does not
communicate by EIA-232
port.

• Verify that the cable is connected to the PC direct connect port (Figure 24 on
•
•
•

Tracker controller did not

page 48).
Verify that the proper cable is used. (Refer to Table 10 on page 47.)
Verify that the PC workstation is using the Tracker controller software; other communications software will not work.
Look for activity on the PC RX LED (Figure 30 on page 56).

When the controller is initially powered up, it automatically discovers all communicating UCMs of the proper type and installs them into its database. The discovery
process takes several minutes, depending on how many UCMs are installed on the
communication link.
After the controller has built its database after the initial power up, the controller no
longer automatically discovers UCMs. If you want to initiate the discovery process,
you must do so manually. Initiate the discovery process when a new UCM is added
to the system or an existing UCM is replaced.

• Verify proper wiring of the Comm5 communication link. (UCMs can be discovered only if Comm5 communication has been established.)

• Wait at least 5 minutes for the controller to discover the UCMs.
Note: You can press the service pin button on a UCM at any time to check if it is communicating
with the controller. Pressing the service pin button causes the UCM status LED to flash on and off
(known as “winking”), if the controller is communicating with that UCM.

Touch screen beeps when
touched but does not
progress to the next screen.

Touch screen is out of calibration.

• Perform the procedures for calibrating the touch screen in Tracker Building Automation System Controller Operations guide (BMT-SVU01A-EN).

Touch-screen back light and
contrast is out of adjustment.

• Perform the adjust brightness and contrast procedure from the display module.

Tracker I/O status is wrong.

• Verify electrical connection using the post-installation checklist (Table 18 on
page 70).

• Verify I/O status as indicated on home display on the display module.
• Display Tracker I/O status self test from display module.

BMTK-SVN01D-EN

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

Table 14. Symptom/action troubleshooting (Continued)
Symptom
Tracker alarm output is not
working as expected.

Action

• Confirm proper wiring of the alarm relay output. Consult the post-installation
checklist (Table 18 on page 70) for details.

• Initiate the BOP self test from the display module.
Note: The binary output is for alarm notification only. There must be an unacknowledged alarm
present of the proper severity to actuate the alarm output.

Look for shorts between the two conductors resulting from nicks in the insulating
jacket. (This can be caused by improper technique when stripping away the outer
jacket and shield.)
Look for a strong source of EMI/RFI interference nearby.
Look for ac power disturbances from nearby transformers and electrical equipment. This is especially true when running communication links in close proximity to florescent lighting ballasts.
Verify the UCM has not failed.
Verify proper termination resistance.

• Cycle power to the Tracker main module by removing it from the termination
module.

• If the processor is still locked up after cycling power to the controller, perform a
•

reboot from the display module or the PC software (if the controller is able to
communicate).
If the controller will not respond to the above listed methods, push the reset button (S1) on the main module (see Figure 30 on page 56).

Note: Heartbeat LED (HRT LED5) will be solid green.

Alarm LED on the display is
flashing red.

• At the Tracker controller user interface home screen, push the alarm button on
the display module to acknowledge the alarm, then take the proper corrective
action.
Note: The alarm LED flashes when the controller receives an alarm of the appropriate severity.
Pressing the Alarm button acknowledges the alarm and turns off the flashing LED (until the controller receives another alarm of the appropriate severity).

Tracker controller is annunciating an alarm.

• At the Tracker controller user interface home screen, push the alarm button on
