Additional Information and Considerations

Tracer SC Network Configuration

You should be aware of these important facts about Communicating Thermostat capabilities in the Tracer SC network.

No automatic installation

The Trane Communicating Thermostats do not automatically install on the Tracer SC. Custom templates are available and you can select one of these templates (“Template: TStat_RTU_Trane,”

p.40, “Template: TStat_FanCoil_Trane,” p. 36, or “Template: TStat_HeatPump_Trane,” p. 39) to get the unit ready to install. Refer to the Tracer™ SC System Controller Installation and Setup Manual (BAS-SVX31x-EN)for details about using a template to install a Communicating Thermostat on a BACnet link.

No priority array

Binary, Analog, and Multistate Values do not use a priority array. In order to reliably control these points, they must be controlled by only one source (for example, Area control). If they are being controlled from multiple sources, the most recent source to control the point will be in control.

Night Purge disabled

A Trane Communicating Thermostat as a member of Area should have Night Purge disabled. Using Night Purge could result in the Heat Cool Mode Request being controlled incorrectly on a transition from Night Purge to another state. You can disable Night Purge for the entire area on the functions page of Area in the Economizer Control section (Figure 5).

Figure 5. The Economizer Control section of the Area Functions page

Night purge can also be disabled from the members page by checking the box next to certain members and going to actions > edit configuration (Figure 6).

BAS-SVP10A-EN, Trane Communicating Thermostats (BACnet) specifications

The Trane BAS-SVP10A-EN is a part of the Trane Communicating Thermostats series designed to facilitate efficient and effective building temperature control in HVAC systems. These thermostats work with BACnet (Building Automation and Control Network), a widely adopted communication protocol in building automation for networked control of HVAC systems, lighting, access control, and fire systems.

One of the standout features of the Trane BAS-SVP10A-EN is its compatibility with various Trane equipment and other BACnet-compliant devices. This versatility allows for seamless integration into existing building systems, enhancing operational efficiency. The thermostat is designed to support zoning applications, offering precise temperature control to individual areas or rooms, thus significantly improving occupant comfort while also minimizing energy consumption.

The Trane communicating thermostat is built with advanced technologies that ensure optimal performance. It utilizes digital communication, enabling real-time data exchange between the thermostat and the HVAC system. This capability enhances the responsiveness of the HVAC system, allowing it to adjust more accurately to changing environmental conditions. The thermostat features an intuitive interface with a clear display, making it user-friendly for building occupants and facility managers alike.

Another important characteristic is its advanced scheduling capabilities. Users can program customized heating and cooling schedules, promoting energy savings while maintaining comfort levels. Additionally, its remote access feature allows for monitoring and control from smartphones, tablets, or computers, making it convenient for users to manage their HVAC systems from virtually anywhere.

The Trane BAS-SVP10A-EN also boasts robust diagnostic and reporting functions. It can provide feedback on system performance, enabling proactive maintenance and troubleshooting, which increases the reliability of HVAC operations. Overall, the Trane Communicating Thermostat represents a sophisticated solution for modern building management, focusing on comfort, energy efficiency, and ease of integration into existing systems. With its commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology, Trane continues to lead in providing innovative solutions for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning needs in diverse building environments.
