Best Practices
• Tape back the shield at each of the Tracer
®
BACnet
®
terminators to prevent accidental contact with
metal components.
Note: If a Tracer
®
UC400 is at the end of the link, the process is the same. The Tracer
®
SC+ provides
the ground wherever it resides on the link.
• During installation, compile a set of as-built drawings or a map of the communication wire layout.
Sketches of the communication layout should feature the Tracer
®
BACnet
®
terminators.
• The Tracer
®
BACnet
®
Terminator is a powered device and it will not work without a power source.
Connect TBT power terminals to a 24 Vac/Vdc power supply.
Note: Some third-party devices have a network terminator built into the device. The use of the terminator
is usually controlled by a jumper or switch on the device itself. Verify that the terminators on each
device are disabled, so that only the TBT are biasing the network.

links using BACnet

terminators
Use the built-in terminator on the BCI-R when the BCI-R is the last node in the network.
The Trane BCI-R has a built in BACnet
®
terminator. If a BCI-R is the last node on the network, this
terminator should be installed as shown in the BCI-R installation guide (RF-SVN03*-EN). For other BCI-
R devices that are not the last node on the link, verify that the terminator has not been wired to the network.
Note: The new BCI2-R does not have a built in terminator. If a new BCI2-R is the last node on the link,
an external BACnet
®
terminator must be added.
