air temperature. In order for the auxiliary sensor to
function as a supply air temperature sensor on VAV units
with reheat and
to properly determine the control action
(heat, cool) it must be located upstream of the VAV unit.
The auxiliary temperature is then compared to the zone
temperature. If the supply air temperature is 10 degrees
above the zone temperature, then the control action will be
heat. If the supply air temperature is less than or equal to
the zone temperature, then the control action will be cool.
If the supply air temperature is between the zone
temperature and the zone temperature + 10ºF (5.5°C)(zone
temperature < supply air temperature < zone temperature
+ 10ºF) (5.5°C), the control action remains the same and the
UCM controls to the minimum flow set point. If an
auxiliary sensor is not installed the UCM will retain the last
control action in effect.
Communication Link Wiring
UCM 4.2
The “Communication Link” is the communication wiring
betweenTracer Summit™ and all VAV box Unit Control
Modules (UCM).Tracer Summit can be connected to the
UCM communication link in a “daisy chain” configuration.
Note: All wiring from the zone sensor to the Comm link
must be twisted shielded pair wiring.
The “Communication Link” is the communication wiring
betweenTracer Summit and all VAV box Unit Control
Modules (UCM).Tracer Summit can be connected to the
UCM.
Note: It is not necessary for each UCM to be connected to
the line in sequential order by address. Also,
multiple communication links may be run and
terminated at theTracer Summit. However, a
consistent, documented wiring path will help
troubleshoot communication problems after
installation.
Field wiring for the communication link must meet the
following requirements:
1. All wiring must be in accordance with the National
Electrical code and local codes.
2. Communication link wiring must be at least 18 AWG
twisted shielded pair wire. Shields must be grounded
at theTracer Summit or Central Control Panel (CCP)
only. More than one ground reference will cause
communications failures. Shields must be daisy
chained.Tape the shield at the lastVAV UCM to prevent
any connection between the shield and ground.
Plenum Cable and Non-Plenum Cable wire
specifications are as follows:
• Plenum Cable: Stranded, tinned copper
insulated with extruded FEP. Conductors cabled
and shielded with overall aluminum/Mylar tape
and stranded, tinned copper drawn wire.
Extruded jacket, 300 volt, 150°C NEC 725-2 (b)
class 2, type CL2P, 25 pF/ft.
• Non-Plenum Cable: Stranded tinned copper
insulated with polyethylene. Conductors cabled
and shielded with overall aluminum/polyester
tape and stranded, tinned copper drain wire.
Chrome gray PVC jacket, 300 volt, 60°C NEC type
CM, 24 pF/ft.
Wire Capacitance
Wire capacitance must comply with the following table:
1. The maximum wire length should not exceed 5,000
feet (1,524 m).
2. Communication link wiring cannot pass between
buildings.
3. A maximum of 63 UCMs can be connected to each
COM Link. Daisy chaining is a typical configuration.
4. Polarity is extremely important and must be observed
on communication link connections.
5. At the VAV box, communication link wires must be
connected toTB2-1, 3 (+) andTB2-2, 4 (-) terminals on
the UCM.
6. Verify that the UCM address is properly set (DIP switch
SW1). See
Table 7 for proper DIP switch settings.
DIP Switch Settings
DIP Switch SW1 contains six switches for addressing the
UCM.These switches allow a user to set a unique
communication address for each UCM. Each UCM on a
given communication link must have a unique address in
order forTracer Summit or the CCP to communicate to it.
See Table 8 for UCM 4.2 DIP switch settings.
