Features and Benefits
packages to minimize custom programming requirements and enable system setup and control through simple editing of parameters in the standard applications software.
When selecting an Integrated Comfort system for a facility, the accountability for equipment, automation and controls is Trane's, Trane's, and Trane's!
In addition to high quality, high performance, packaged air handler, Trane provides precise air delivery management with VariTrane VAV terminals.
Wireless zone sensors minimize the installation costs of the VariTrane terminals and the packaged air handler system in general.
The IntelliPak™ II air handler, as a part of an Integrated Comfort system, provides powerful maintenance monitoring, control and reporting capabilities. The Tracer places the air handler in the appropriate operating mode for: system on/off, night setback, demand limiting, setpoint adjustment based on outside parameters and much more.
Many different unit diagnostic conditions can be monitored through Tracer: sensor failures and loss of supply airflow. Further, the addition of Building Management Network software offers remote scanning, automatic receipt of alarms, and easy

Interoperability
Trane Tracer LonTalk Control Interface (LCI) for IntelliPak II offers a building automation control system with outstanding interoperability benefits.
LonTalk, which is an industry standard, is an open, secure and reliable network communication protocol for controls, created by Echelon Corporation and adopted by the LonMark Interoperability Association. It has been adopted by several standards, such as:
Interoperability allows application or project engineers to specify the best products of a given type, rather than one individual supplier's entire system. It reduces product training and installation costs by standardizing communications across products. Interoperable systems allow building managers to monitor and control IntelliPak II equipment with a Trane Tracer Summit or a 3rd party building automation system.
It enables integration with many different building controls such as access/intrusion monitoring, lighting, fire and smoke devices, energy management, and a wide variety of sensors (temperature, pressure, light, humidity, occupancy, CO2 and air velocity).

Optimum Building
Comfort Control
The modular control design of the UCM allows for greater application flexibility. Customers can order exactly the options required for the job, rather than one large control package. Unit features are distributed among multiple field replaceable printed circuit boards. The Trane UCM can be setup to operate under one of three control applications:
