Before Installation
Before installation:
• Be sure all items on the packing list are included and are
not damaged.
• Familiarize yourself with this guide and any support literature.

Summit system.
Tracer Summit System Overview
The Tracer Summit system provides building automation and energy
management functions. The system is capable of monitoring and control-
ling heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and
providing management information and operator override capabilities.
Figure 1 on page 2 shows the options for a Tracer Summit system config-
uration. For a complete list of Trane Comm5 unit controllers, see Table 7
on page 46.
The interface for Tracer Summit uses a graphical format that is accessi-
ble through a PC Workstation. You can connect the PC Workstation and
building control unit (BCU) over an Ethernet LAN or an ARCNET LAN,
or remotely using modems specified by Trane.
The Modular BCU (BMTW) and
the BCU (BMTS)
The main purpose of this installation guide is to provide hardware and
software installation guidance for the modular BCU (BMTW). In the body
of this guide, the term BCU refers to the modular BCU (BMTW). In
Chapter 6, “Network Wiring,” where both BCU models are discussed, the
terms modular BCU (BMTW) and BCU (BMTS) are used.
Appendix B provides hardware installation guidance and troubleshooting
for owners of the BCU (BMTS). In Appendix B, the term BCU refers to
the BCU (BMTS).
