Installing the Tracer ZN517 Unitary Controller Ordering number: 4950 0496, 4950 0596 Product overview The Tracer ZN517 controller is a field-installed, application-specific controller that provides directdigital zone control. The controller can operate as a stand-alone device or as part of a building automation system (BAS). The Tracer ZN517 is designed to control the following types of equipment: 2-heat/2-cool rooftop unit with optional economizer control 4-cool rooftop unit with optional economizer control 2-compressor heat pump with optional economizer and auxiliary heat control Split system The Tracer ZN517 follows the guidelines of the LonMark Space Comfort Controller (SCC) profile. The Tracer ZN517 is available in two different versions: frame-mount (4950 0496) and metal enclosure (4950 0596). (See Figure 3 and Figure 4 on page 3.) The frame-mount package contains: A Tracer ZN517 circuit board fastened to a metal back plate A removable molded resin cover The metal-enclosure package contains: A Tracer ZN517 circuit board fastened to the back piece of the metal enclosure A removable metal cover Shipment Visually inspect all parts for obvious defects or damage. All components are thoroughly inspected before leaving the factory. Any claims for damage incurred in shipping should be filed with the carrier.

Mounting the frame-mount controller IMPORTANT Mount the Tracer ZN517 controller with the cover on to avoid damaging the circuit board during installation. To mount the frame-mount controller: 1. Using the module as a template, mark the location of the two mounting holes on the mounting surface (Figure 3). 2. Set the module aside and drill holes for the screws at the marked locations. Drill holes for #10 (5 mm) screws or #10 wall anchors. Use wall anchors if the mounting surface is dry wall or masonry. 3. Insert wall anchors if needed. 4. Secure the module to the mounting surface with #10 (5 mm) screws (not included). Attach the frame-mount module securely so that it can withstand the vibrations of associated heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment. Mounting the metal-enclosure controller To mount the metal-enclosure controller: 1. Remove the two cover screws and then the cover. 2. Using the enclosure as a template, mark the location of the four mounting holes on the mounting surface (Figure 4). 3. Set the enclosure aside and drill holes for the screws at the marked locations. Drill holes for #10 (5 mm) screws or #10 wall anchors. Use wall anchors if the mounting surface is dry wall or masonry. 4. Insert wall anchors if needed. 5. Secure the enclosure to the mounting surface with #10 (5 mm) screws (not included). Figure 4. Mounting the metal-enclosure Tracer ZN517 controller Figure 3.

IMPORTANT Make sure that the 24 Vac power supplies are consistently grounded. Do not share 24 Vac between controllers. The recommended wire for ac power is 16 AWG copper wire. All wiring must comply with National Electrical Code and local codes. If you are providing a new transformer for power, use a UL-listed Class 2 power transformer supplying a nominal 24 Vac (19 30 Vac). The transformer must be sized to provide adequate power to the Tracer ZN521 zone controller (14 VA) and output devices, including relays and valve actuators (a maximum of 12 VA per output utilized). Please read the warning and cautions before proceeding. WARNING Hazardous voltage! Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/ tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION Injury and equipment damage! Make sure that the 24 Vac transformer is properly grounded. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to equipment. 5 3270 3351 D
A B A B Rh 2 CAUTION Equipment damage! Complete input/output wiring before applying power to the controller. Failure to do so may cause damage to the controller or power transformer due to inadvertent connections to power circuits. Do not share 24 Vac between controllers. Failure to do so may cause controller damage. Wiring AC-power to the frame-mount controller Please read the preceding warning and cautions. To connect ac-power to the frame-mount controller: 1. Connect the ground wire from the 24 Vac transformer to the terminal shown in Figure 5. 2. Connect the power wire to the terminal. Figure 5. AC-power wiring for frame-mount 24 Vac transformer N H AC POWER AC OUT Wiring AC-power to the metal-enclosure controller Please read the preceding warnings and cautions. To connect ac-power wiring to the enclosure: 1. Remove the cover of the enclosure. 2. Remove the knockout for the 0.5 in. (13 mm) conduit from the enclosure and attach the conduit. 3. Feed the power wire into the enclosure. 4. When mounting on dry wall or other non-conductive surface, connect an earth ground to the earth-ground screw on the enclosure (Figure 6). 5. Connect the ground wire from the 24 Vac transformer to the terminal shown in Figure 6. 6. Connect the power wire to the terminal. 7. Replace the cover of the enclosure. Figure 6.

Comm5 is Trane s implementation of LonTalk. For instructions on Comm5 communication wiring and addressing, follow the Tracer Summit Hardware and Software Installation guide (BMTX-SVN01A), the Tracker Building Automation System Hardware Installation guide (BMTK-SVN01D), or another BAS installation manual. HVAC unit electrical circuit wiring The terminals labeled Rc and Rh are provided as inputs for 24 Vac power from the transformer(s) of the HVAC system. Note: The Tracer ZN517 is shipped from the factory with terminals Rc and Rh coupled with a jumper at J1 on the controller circuit board. Packaged units If the HVAC unit combines heating and cooling (referred to as a packaged unit), it will typically have one R transformer. For 24 Vac wiring of packaged units, the Rc terminal must be wired as shown in this procedure: 1. Locate the jumper at J1 on the controller circuit board (Figure 7 on page 7). Place the jumper on both pins at J1 on the circuit board (Figure 8 on page 7). 2. Wire the Rc terminal to the transformer on the unit (Figure 9 on page 8). 3270 3351 D 6
Split systems If the unit is a split system (a unit with physically separate heating and cooling sections), there is typically a separate transformer for each function. For 24 Vac wiring of split systems, the Rc and Rh terminals must be wired as shown in this procedure: Figure 8. Coupling and uncoupling terminals Rc and Rh for 24 Vac wiring of the HVAC unit For packaged units Place the jumper on both pins at J1. J1 1. Locate the jumper at J1 on the controller circuit board (Figure 7). Remove the jumper from the pins at J1 on the circuit board (Figure 8). 2. Replace the jumper on one of the pins at J1 for possible future use. 3. Wire Rc to the transformer for the cooling section of the unit (Figure 10 on page 8). 4. Wire Rh to the transformer for the heating section of the unit (Figure 10 on page 8). Figure 7. Location of J1 on Tracer ZN517 circuit board For split systems Remove the jumper from the pins at J1.

Input/Output terminal wiring All input/output terminal wiring for the Tracer ZN517 unitary controller is application specific. Input/output terminal wiring must meet the following requirements: All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes. Use only 18 22 AWG, stranded, tinned-copper, shielded, twisted-pair wire. Binary input and output wiring should be a maximum length of 300 ft (100 m). Analog input wiring should be a maximum length of 300 ft (100 m). Do not run input/output wires in the same wire bundle with any ac power wires. 3270 3351 D 8
