| Features and Benefits For "Turnkey" Controls . . .
Think "Trane Modular Climate Changer® Air Handler"
Each Modular Climate Changer is available with a turnkey control package that
is designed to lower installation costs and risk while
dramatically improving the quality of the application. The advantage is strict quality control provided in a world- class manufacturing environment. The entire air handler control system is engineered,
mounted, wired and tested before the
unit leaves the factory. That means . . .
- Control components are properly sized, selected and laboratory-tested for optimal system performance.
- Trained technicians install the controls under ideal conditions using state-of- the-art equipment and NEC Class 2 wiring
practices, eliminating costly conduit and reducing
installation time.
- Each air handler is fully run-tested before it leaves the factory. A computer-based
test station simulates actual operating conditions,
supervises the unit controller, drives the actuators
and surveys the input and output devices . . . all to help assure trouble- free installation and reliable operation
when the Trane Modular Climate Changer reaches the job site. "Turnkey"
includes these control components:
- starters
- variable-frequency drives
- disconnects
- unit-mounted DDC controllers ]
- valves
- damper, inlet guide vane and face-and- bypass actuators
- electronic or pneumatic actuators
- temperature, humidity and pressure sensors
- low-limit switches
- fan or filter status switches
- high- and low-pressure switches
Factory-mounted actuators, sensors,
low limit switches
Starters, DDC controllers and
variable frequency drives.

Integrated Comfort™ System
Compatibility
The Modular Climate Changer’s turnkey control package provides stand-alone
air handler operation. But it’s also part of a
complete line of control systems including unit controllers specifically designed for each piece of Trane equipment and Tracer® building management
systems that integrate and magnify their
effectiveness. When joined by a simple, single twisted-wire pair, they constitute a Trane Integrated Comfort™ system (ICS) . . . a powerful system architecture that unifies Trane HVAC equipment, direct digital control and building management
into a coherent whole with an assured source of
support. What that really means to owners, facility managers, designers and contractors
is:
single-source responsibility . . .
equipment and controls engineered for each other and provided by a single manufacturer simplify job-site coordination
efforts, reducing installation time, expense and risk.
comprehensive monitoring and
diagnostic capabilities . . . Trane engineers its unit-mounted controls to provide the highest level of useful information
possible. Its family of sophisticated Tracer building
management systems synthesizes this information and provides a powerful tool for
scheduling preventive maintenance, reducing equipment
down time and controlling service expense.
system optimization . . .
Tracer enables information-sharing and complex control strategies, like ventilation reset, throughout the HVAC system. It also assures that each subsystem operates in the
most efficient manner possible while continuing to
satisfy current loads. The result is reduced building
energy consumption through effective
operation of the entire HVAC system at
part-load conditions.
The communication protocol for Tracer
Summit® , Trane’s building management system, is based on ASHRAE/ANSI BACnet
Standard 135-1995. BACnet is a standard
open-communications protocol that allows integration
(connectivity of equipment and controls purchased from multiple suppliers to a larger building automation system) and interoperability
(information-sharing between independent and dissimilar
systems within a building or campus).
