Trane Tracer UC600 controller’s colour touch screen increases efficiency & productivity
The Trane Tracer C600 programmable controller, the latest Trane controller to receive BACnet listing (BTL) as BACnet Advanced Application Controller (B-AAC), features a unique user-friendly touch screen to improve operator efficiency and productivity.
Trane, one of the leading global providers of indoor comfort systems and solutions, and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, developed the colour touch screen in response to customer requests for a more visually intuitive solution.The Trane Tracer UC600 features 19 input/output (I/O) points with the option to expand up to 120 I/O points. The unit also offers point overrides with a time-limit option, icon-labelled alarm categories, scheduling and data-logging capabilities, access to custom graphics and configurable reports.
Additionally, the Trane Tracer TD7 is now available as an option for the Tracer UC600. The seven-inch (17.8 cm) diagonal colour touch screen was designed for both indoor and outdoor use.
The Tracer TD7 can be used to view data—including graphics— and make operational changes in any of the 24 built-in supported languages. Customers can create custom reports as well as set up and view trend charts for data logs entirely within the TD7 Operator Display Interface. Alarms are icon- and colour-labelled for easy identification of the level of severity.
“The Tracer TD7 full-colour touch screen makes it quicker and easier than ever for customers to gain the reliable control offered by the Tracer UC600,” said Rajesh Salian, Head, Remote Management Operations and Controls and IBMS fulfilment for India. “Users can now check unit status at a glance and quickly optimise their HVAC systems with a few simple touches.”
Use of the Tracer UC600 in combination with the TD7 can be easily expanded as a business grows. It has the capabilities to meet the controls needs for air handlers, central heating and cooling plants, cooling towers, and other high-point count applications.
Trane controls can be factory or field mounted on new and existing Trane solutions, non-Trane systems and ancillary components.
