Peer-to-peer communication

Tracer ZN521 zone controllers have the ability to share data with other LonTalk-based controllers. Multiple controllers can be bound as peers, using the Rover service tool, to share:

Setpoint

Zone temperature

Heating/cooling mode

Fan status

Unit capacity control

Shared data is communicated from one controller to any other controller that is bound to it as a peer. Applications having more than one unit serv- ing a single zone can benefit by using this feature; it allows multiple units to share a single zone temperature sensor and prevents multiple units from simultaneously heating and cooling.

Unit protection strategies

The following strategies are initiated when specific conditions exist in order to protect the unit or building from damage:

Smart reset

Low-coil-temperature protection

Condensate overflow

Fan status

Fan off delay

Filter-maintenance timer

Freeze avoidance

Freeze protection (discharge air temperature low limit)
