Product Overview This Installation guide takes you through all the steps necessary to install and setup aTracer LCI-C. with a Tracer CH530/531 chiller controller. It covers both electronic circuit board/ Hardware Installation and appropriate LCI-C Software Installation and set up for the following Installation types: Tracer Summit building automation systems If you are connecting the LCI-C to a Tracer Summit system, you will not need the network variable information in the Appendixes.

7 Appendix G, however, provides a list of additional resources that you may find useful. Non- trane building automation systems If you are connecting the LCI-C to a non- trane building automation system using LonTalk, . Appendixes B through E will provide you with the system integration information you will need regarding network variables. Note: If you are unfamiliar with the terminology used in this Installation guide, see the Glossary, . p. 63. What Does an LCI-C Do? An LCI-C (LonTalk Communications Interface for Chillers) provides a communication interface between a Tracer CH530/531 controller and a LonTalk network.

8 LonMark certification The LonMark organization promotes LonTalk as an industry standard for control communication. The LCI-C is certified to the LonMark Chiller Functional Profile 8040 Version , and follows LonTalk FTT-10A communications system technology. Compliance with this technology means that the LCI-C can provide an interface for non- trane LonTalk networks. Network variables LonTalk uses network variables to communicate points on a communication link. LonMark has defined a list of standard network variables.

9 Chiller Functional Profile LonMark calls their standard list of variables for chiller control the Chiller Functional Profile. This profile is meant to allow interoperability between control systems and chillers, regardless of chiller type or manufacturer. The LCI-C Extension The LCI-C Extension is a list of additional network variables trane created that are over and above the ones defined by the Chiller Functional Profile. The LCI-C Extension is considered open . because the network variables are not proprietary.

10 The network variables in the LCI-C Extension are defined in Appendixes D and E. LCI-C Shipment And Inspection The LCI-C is either factory installed with the chiller controller or shipped as an individual part for field Installation . The service part number is MOD01216 (X13650845-02). Storage If the LCI-C is stored for a period of time prior to being installed, it must be protected from the elements. The temperature of the storage location should be between -40 F (-40 C) and 158 F (70. C) and the relative humidity should be 0 95%, non-condensing.
