I/O bus wiring

I/O bus wiring

The EX2 communicates with the Tracer MP581 and up to three other EX2 modules on an IEEE-485 link. This link must be a daisy chain. Typi- cally, the Tracer MP581 is at one end of the daisy chain, but any device can be at the ends of the link (Figure 48 and Figure 49 on page 92).

Wiring for the I/O bus must meet the following requirements:

All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes.

Recommended wire is low-capacitance, 22-gauge, Level 4, unshielded, twisted-pair. Existing sites that have already been wired with low- capacitance, 18-gauge, shielded, twisted pair with stranded, tinned- copper conductors (Trane-approved, purple-jacketed wire) don't have to be rewired. This shielded wire will work if properly terminated.

Total I/O wiring length cannot exceed 1000 ft (300 m).

At the first three modules, splice the shield with the shield from the next section of communication-link wiring, and tape the shield to pre- vent any connection to ground. At the final module on the end of the daisy chain, terminate the shield as shown in Figure 48. Note that you can use one, two, three, or four EX2 modules with each

Tracer MP581.

BAS-APG001-EN, Engineered Smoke Control System for Tracer Summit specifications

The Trane Engineered Smoke Control System is an advanced solution designed to enhance safety and efficiency in buildings by effectively managing smoke during emergency situations. Specifically tailored for integration with the Tracer Summit Building Automation System, the Trane Engineered Smoke Control System (BAS-APG001-EN) combines cutting-edge technologies with user-friendly features, empowering facility managers to maintain optimal air quality and ensure occupant safety.

One of the standout features of the system is its programmable logic capabilities, which allow for customized smoke management strategies based on building layout and operations. This flexibility ensures that smoke is effectively controlled, providing clear egress paths for occupants while maintaining a safe environment for emergency responders. The system is engineered to operate seamlessly with other building systems, including HVAC and fire alarm systems, enabling a cohesive response during smoke events.

The Trane Engineered Smoke Control System employs sophisticated detection technologies that monitor air quality and detect smoke in real-time. This proactive approach facilitates early intervention, allowing for rapid activation of smoke control measures. Additionally, the integration of variable speed fans ensures that smoke is moved efficiently out of critical areas, reducing the risk of smoke inhalation for building occupants.

One of the key characteristics of this system is its ability to provide reliable, redundant operation. With engineered backup systems in place, the reliability of smoke control measures is significantly enhanced, ensuring that they will function correctly even in the event of a power failure. This is especially critical in high-rise buildings or complex structures, where smoke control is vital to occupant safety.

User interface features included in the Tracer Summit system offer intuitive controls and monitoring capabilities, simplifying the management of smoke control operations. Facility managers can easily view system status, receive alerts, and make necessary adjustments through the user-friendly dashboard, enhancing operational efficiency.

The Trane Engineered Smoke Control System stands out as a premier solution for smoke management in contemporary building designs. By integrating sophisticated detection technologies, programmable logic, and reliable operation, it provides an essential layer of safety in creating environments that prioritize occupant protection. As buildings continue to evolve, Trane’s commitment to innovation ensures that its Engineered Smoke Control System remains a key component in modern fire safety infrastructure.
