The Tracer Lighting Control Panel (LCP) is a microprocessor-based controller that manages building lighting circuits according to time of day schedules and local switch inputs.

The LCP can operate as a standalone device or interface to a Trane Tracer 100 or Tracer Summit building management system; integrating the HVAC and lighting systems. LCP accessories provide additional system flexibility and expansion capabilities.

An LCP telephone interface may complement the system by providing easy override access to any building occupant with a touch-tone telephone.

ICS Capability

A building operator can use a Tracer Summit BCU or a Tracer 100 series building management panel to monitor the status of switched inputs and lighting circuit outputs, provide time of day control, and integrate lighting control functions into the total building management system.

Software Capabilities

The LCP database groups relay outputs into independent lighting zones, and executes application programs such as blink warning and after-hours operator override. Zones may be controlled by the following:

• Wall switches
• Occupancy sensors
• Photocells
• Commanded from Tracer applications programs
• Overridden via local keypad or remote touch-tone telephone

A standalone scheduling application allows the LCP to provide time of day control, even when it is not linked with a Tracer building management system.

Blink Warning

LCP outputs can be programmed to provide blink warning before they are switched off at the end of a time of day schedule or override period. This allows occupants to safely exit the area, or request additional override lighting via a wall switch input or touch-tone telephone.

Time of Day Scheduling

When used independently from a Tracer building management system, the LCP can be programmed to support weekday, weekend, and holiday time of day scheduling.

LCP Edit Software

Lighting zone circuits can be easily rezoned without changing field wiring by using LCP Edit software.

Hardware Description

Modular design allows the LCP to be configured with as few as 8 or as many as 32 relay outputs. A relay expansion card can be added anytime to extend capacity.
