• Totalizing software automaticallymonitors any operator-defined flow such as airflow or calculated values such as BTU consumption, and generates a standard monthly report.
• Boolean processing software enables the operator to devise customized control functions using true/false logic statements.

Tracer L, 100, and 100i offer the following capabilities to control system functions and provide equipment control strategies:

• Time of day scheduling allows the operator to define equipment schedules for each weekday, plus holiday and exception schedules. Time of day scheduling provides both time of day start/stop and optimal start/stop control.
• Demand limiting monitors the building’s electrical demand and turns off certain electrical loads or resets equipment setpoints when demand exceeds a specified limit. This helps to reduce peak power demand and subsequent utility costs. Each demand limited load has a maximum off time and temperature limits to ensure occupant comfort.
• Chiller sequencing sequences and automatically rotates up to six chillers and their associated pumps to control and monitor chiller operation. The sequencing program can be used to control virtually any type of water chiller.
• Priority control allows the operator to define custom control sequences that respond to alarm conditions. Priority control sequences receive the highest priority, overriding all other control sequences.
• Process control language (PCL) allows the operator to create custom control sequences which complement standard control programs by addressing a building’s individual requirements. PCL routines perform calculations based on real time data, and can use analog and binary point values, alarm status, constants, equation variables, and mathematical and logical operations.
• Timed override allows the operator to temporarily turn on a device or a specified equipment group that was scheduled off. Timed override can be activated by a switch on a zone sensor or by a keyboard command from a CRT. Weekly and monthly timed override reports document after-hours operation.

ICS Status Displays

All Trane ICS equipment has standard, preformatted displays that provide current, historical, and diagnostic data.

Tracer L and 100i Hardware

Tracer L and 100i contain a single circuit card that incorporates processor, memory, and communications functions. Each unit includes battery backup, RS-232 communications ports, and an optional internal modem. ICS system hardware includes the Tracer panel, optional system CRT, and optional printer. Multiple Tracers can be integrated into a single system through a unit-to-unit communication link. Tracers can be operated through the standard CRT, or optionally, through PC-based Tracer Building Management Network or Tracer-Access operator workstations. These options provide a dynamic operator interface through the use of color graphics. Refer to the Operator Interface section of this catalog for more information about Tracer-Access and Building Management Network.

Tracer 100 Hardware

The Tracer 100 is a multiple circuit card unit that uses a card cage configuration. The component includes battery backup, RS-232 communication ports, and an optional internal modem.

Tracer 100 has six input/output card slots. A combination of input/output cards can be used with the Tracer 100.

ICS hardware includes the Tracer 100 panel, optional system CRT, and optional printer. Multiple Tracer panels can be integrated into a single system through a unit-to-unit communication link.

The Tracer 100 can be operated through the PC-based Tracer Building Management Network or Tracer-Access operator workstations. These options provide a dynamic operator interface through the use of color graphics.
