Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the
earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the
atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect
the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine, and Carbon
(CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine, and Carbon (HCFCs).
Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact
to the environment. Trane advocates the responsible handling of all
refrigerants.
Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the
environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians
who handle refrigerants must be certified according to local rules. For the
USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for
handling, reclaiming, recovering, and recycling of certain refrigerants and
the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some
states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be
adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable
laws and follow them.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow the code could result in death or serious injury. All field
wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and
grounded field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these
hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and
grounding as described in NEC and your local/state/national electrical codes.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken could result in death
or serious injury. Technicians, to protect themselves from potential
electrical, mechanical, and chemical hazards, MUST follow precautions in this
manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels, as well as the instructions
below:
- Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST put on all PPE required for the work being undertaken (Examples; cut-resistant gloves/sleeves, butyl gloves, safety glasses, hard hat/bump cap, fall protection, electrical PPE, and arc flash clothing). ALWAYS refer to appropriate Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.
- When working with or around hazardous chemicals, ALWAYS refer to the appropriate SDS and OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals) guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory protection, and handling instructions.
- If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE by OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific requirements for arc flash protection, before servicing the unit. NEVER PERFORM ANY SWITCHING, DISCONNECTING, OR VOLTAGE TESTING WITHOUT PROPER ELECTRICAL PPE AND ARC FLASH CLOTHING. ENSURE ELECTRICAL METERS AND EQUIPMENT ARE PROPERLY RATED FOR THE INTENDED VOLTAGE.

Introduction
The Tracer TU Communication Adapter allows the Tracer TU service tool to
connect to a remote unit controller through a zone sensor or wireless
connection.
Note: The adapter is designed exclusively for use with the new generation
of Trane controllers (Trane UC and Symbio controllers). Do not use the adapter
with ZN, VV, AH, and MP LonTalk communicating controls.
Packaged Contents
Part number X13651529010 includes the following items:
- One (1) Tracer TU Communications Adapter
- One (1) USB cable for use between a laptop PC and the adapter
Part number X13651532020 includes only the adapter without cables.
Note: Visually inspect contents for obvious defects or damage. All
components have been thoroughly inspected before leaving the factory. Any
claims for damage incurred during shipment should be filed with the carrier.
Compliance
- FCC ID: W7Z-ZICM357SP2
- IC 8254A-ZICM357SP2
- UKCA Marked
- CE Marked
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Adapter Software and USB Driver Installations
Perform the following steps to load the adapter software and the USB driver.
- Connect the adapter to a laptop using the standard USB cable. A small message box appears at the bottom of the screen near the system tray indicating that adapter software is being installed.
- Wait for the installation to complete.
Note: Before using the adapter, confirm that (1) the zone sensor has wired communication with the unit controller, or (2) the controller has a Wireless Comm Interface (WCI). (For wired communication, see the sensor’s installation instructions for details.)
Note: When discovering and installing expansion modules, the adapter cannot connect to a unit controller. Both the adapter and the expansion modules use the IMC connection to communicate with the unit controller, which results in a conflict during discovery. Once the expansion modules are installed, the adapter can communicate with the unit controller.
Connecting to a Device
When the adapter software and driver have been installed, establish a wired or a wireless connection to the controller as shown in Figure 1 by performing one of the following tasks:
- Physically connect the adapter to a zone sensor using an RJ-22 cable and then establish a connection using the TU adapter-wired option on the Tracer TU Startup Task Panel.
- Use the TU Adapter – Wireless option on the Tracer TU Startup Task Panel, join Tracer TU to a wireless network, and then attach to a member device. (See the procedural information in the Startup Task Panel Help and the “Accessing Wireless Devices and Maintaining Networks” section of the Tracer TU Help for Programmable Controllers, which is accessible from the Help menu in the Tracer TU window. Finally, each wireless dialog box has context-sensitive Help.)
Note: It is not possible to make both a wired and a wireless connection simultaneously.
Adapter Operations
Once communication with the unit controller or WCI has been established, use the Tracer TU service tool as if it is directly connected to the USB port of the controller.)
Adapter Power
The USB cable connecting the laptop to the adapter provides power through the
laptop USB port. No other connection is necessary to power the adapter. USB
allows several devices to share a link. Any USB host (laptop) is required to
provide 500 mA at 5 Vdc. The power requirements of the adapter have been
minimized so that the adapter can share the USB link with other devices. The
total current draw of all connected devices cannot exceed 500 mA.
Normal Operation
Connecting the adapter to a laptop PC starts the adapter. A successful start
is indicated when the Status LED changes from solid red to solid green. The
Status LED flashes green to indicate active communication through a USB port.
(See Figure 2.)
When communication with the unit controller is established, the Receive LED
flashes amber as data is received from the unit controller, and the Transmit
LED flashes green as data is sent from the adapter to the unit controller.
(See Figure 2.)
Abnormal Operations
The Status LED can also indicate abnormal operation. A shift from solid green
or flashing green to flashing red indicates that an internal fault has
occurred in the adapter.
In these situations, disconnect and reconnect the adapter directly, or perform
the following steps:
- Click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray.
- Select the Adapter from the list of devices.
- Click Stop.
- Remove the USB cable from the laptop USB port.
- Reconnect it to the USB port.
Table 2 lists possible running conditions or error causes and their corresponding Status LED indicators.

Turning off the Adapter
To turn off the adapter, disconnect the USB cable connecting it to the laptop.
Best Practices
To make the most effective use of the adapter, observe the following best practices.
- The adapter is best suited for making changes to selected setpoints or point configurations. To make changes to configuration variables or setpoints, update device application firmware, transfer large TGP2 files, or restore a configuration, connect directly to the controller with a USB cable to obtain the best performance.
- Use care when detaching the RJ-22 connector from the wired zone sensor. The RJ-22 is a locking connector. If pulled sharply, it can damage the zone sensor.
- For maximum wireless signal strength, position the device as close as possible to the target controller’s WCI.
