Installation and Wiring 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 allows the Tracer ZN.520 controller to be secured with a minimal number of sheet metal screws.
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.
Installation and Wiring Wiring WARNING ! Warning! Disconnect all electrical power before servicing unit to prevent injury or death due to electrical shock. Use copper conductors only. The use of aluminum or other incorrect types of wire may result in overheating and equipment damage. ! CAUTION Caution: To prevent damage to the unit ventilator, refer to the diagram provided on the inside of the unit's access panel for specific wiring infor- mation. All controls are wired at the factory.
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.
Installation and Wiring Humidity and CO2 Sensors Humidity and CO 2 sensors should be mounted in a similar location as the zone sensor.

Location Identifier 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.
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 -UP CONTROL WAIT is enabled, the controller waits 0-120 seconds (depending on configuration) to allow ample time for communicated control data to input.
Unit Operation 4 = Night Purge (air changeover) not supported 5 = Pre-cool (morning cool down) 6 = Off (no unit operation 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.
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.
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.
Unit Operation 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.
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.
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.
Unit Operation due to a safety or command. The controller enters the FRE EZE AVOIDANCE mode when an outdoor 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.

Troubleshooting Important! When viewing the Tracer ZN.520 through the Rover service tool, it is important that the version be up-to-date. To help ensure that your version is the most recent, contact you local Trane sales representative or service center. The Service push button, located at the bottom center of the controller, can be used to install the Tracer™ ZN.520 Unit Controller in a communication network. Refer to the Rover and Tracer Summit product literature for more information.
Troubleshooting If a two-blink pattern remains after an attempt to clear diagnostics, the diagnostic condition is still present and may affect the manual output test. The diagnostic must then be cleared using another method. (See “Resetting Diagnostics” on page 54.for more information.) Test Procedure The procedure for testing is: 1. Press and hold the Test button for at least two seconds, then release the button to start the test mode. 2.
Troubleshooting .
Troubleshooting Safeties Discharge Air Temperature Limit Freeze Protection 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. The Tracer ZN.520 controller has two methods of freeze protection. 1. 2. 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.

Troubleshooting power, the unit cycles through a power-up sequence and clears all timers. By default, the controller attempts to reset all diagnostics at powerup. Diagnostics present at powerup and those that occur after power-up are handled according to the defined unit diagnostics sequences (For more information see,Table 28: Tracer™ ZN.520 Unit Controller diagnostics, on page 52 for more information.) .

Troubleshooting Valves Table 30: Valves stay closed Probable cause Possible Explanation Unit wiring The wiring between the controller outputs and the valve(s) must be present and correct for normal valve operation. Random-start observed After power-up, the controller always observes a random-start from 5 to 30 seconds. The controller remains off until the random-start time expires.
Troubleshooting Table 31: Valves stay open Probable cause Possible Explanation Freeze avoidance When the fan is off with no demand for capacity (0%) and the outdoor air temperature is below the freeze avoidance setpoint, the controller opens the water valves (100%) to prevent coil freezing. This includes unoccupied mode when there is no call for capacity or any other time the fan is off. Normal operation The controller opens and closes the valves to meet the unit capacity requirements.
Troubleshooting Table 33: Outdoor air damper stays closed Probable cause Explanation Requested mode OFF You can communicate a desired operating mode (such as OFF, HEAT, and COOL) to the controller. When OFF is communicated to the controller, the unit controls the fan OFF. There is no heating or cooling (valves are closed).
