Alarms and Events

Events are occurrences that are detected by aTracer building automation system.They can include
diagnostics, critical operating conditions, as well as routine procedures.
An event that is triggered by the detection of an abnormal or critical operating condition is
generally considered to be an alarm. If a critical alarm exists, an alarm icon flashes in the global
navigation bar, which remains visible in the right corner of every page of the user interface.
When the system detects an event, data about the event appears in a log on the Alarms and Events
page (Figure 3, p. 8).The data displayed in the log includes when and where the event occurred
and whether the operator is required to acknowledge it. An operator can also use the log to add
comments about events. Column headings can be used to sort and filter events.They can also be
removed or exported from the log.

BAS-PRC031-EN, 10 Jun 2013 7

User Interface

Figure 3. Alarms and Events log

The Alarms and Events log has seven categories that can be used to sort and filter them.The log
can be sorted on any of these categories including, for example, by priority. Filtering can be used
to view only the alarms from a specific piece of equipment, for example, or those received at a
specific time or from a specific alarm category.
Events can also be routed by e-mail to selected system operators. Event routing rules can be
configured so that events respond to specific conditions when they occur.

Data Logs
Data logs, also referred to as trends, allow users to produce a variety of data samples at defined
intervals to show the historical and current status of the facility. Data logs record, in real-time, the
value of a data point in the system and the time at which the value was recorded.
Data logs can be viewed in real-time, or at a later time.They can also be printed and saved. With
the proper security access, system users can configure (create, delete, and update) and manage
(clear, enable, and disable) data logs in the system. (See Figure 4, p. 9 for an example of a data log.)

Schedules
Scheduling is one of a facility’s most important energy-saving strategies. It ensures that equipment
runs only when needed. Use schedules to:
• Keep equipment running at minimal energy-use levels on weekends and holidays
• Create exceptions to the standard schedule
• Perform optimal start and stop of equipment to optimize energy use while maintaining comfort
requirements
• Change setpoints at specific times of day
From the home page, you can select:
• All Schedules, which shows all schedules in the system
• Active Schedules, which shows only the active schedules in the system
Figure 5, p. 10 shows an example of an All Schedules page.

Overrides
A typical challenge that facility managers have is maintaining the balance between automatic and
manual system control.Tracer SC provides multiple methods of overriding equipment,
applications and points while also ensuring that the proper balance of automatic and manual
system control is kept.These methods include:
Permanent Overrides
The most typical use of a permanent override is through applications.Tracer SC provides the ability
to determine which user or application has performed an override to quickly determine who has
overridden a setpoint.
Temporary Overrides
A common challenge in facilities is inadvertent overrides.Tracer SC provides a default override
option for users that allow an override to expire after a period of time.This ensures that temporary
overrides do not inadvertently become permanent overrides.
All items in Override Report
It can be difficult to track down overrides that have become permanent and are causing a facility
to act differently than a facility manager expects.Tracer SC includes a standard report that allows
a user to quickly identify all points within the system that have been overridden. See Figure 6, p. 11.

Standard reports forTrane equipment are available fromTracer SC.These reports provide a
valuable source of data that can be used for record-keeping and troubleshooting.
Report types include:
• Site reports
• VAS commissioning reports
• Points reports
• Chiller reports
Report features include:
• Scheduling reports to run during specific date periods and run frequencies
• Specifying file storage options for scheduled reports
• Exporting reports to save to your PC as CSV, HTML, or PDF files

Graphics and the Tracer Graphics Editor

With theTracer Graphics Editor (TGE), available through theTracerTU service tool, users can
create, edit, and publish graphics for use onTracer SC. Graphics on theTracer SC are used to
monitor and control building equipment and applications.They can display data related to climate,
lighting, and other controllable operations.They can be used to change setpoints and to override
equipment operation.
TGE can be used to align graphical elements, determine which elements appear on top, and
perform cut, copy, and paste functions.
Graphics can include:
• Any data that is available in the system as a numerical or text value
• Analog values that can change colors if they deviate from a desired value
• Multiple graphic images in JPEG, GIF, and animated GIF formats
• Visual elements from the building, such as floor plans or exterior views from CAD drawings
• Digital photography in JPG and GIF formats
• Animated images to represent binary and analog values
• Target buttons that provide links to related sources
• User controls including push buttons, check boxes, drop-down list boxes, and entry fields
Graphics can be grouped in a logical way to simulate navigation through the building automation
system. See Figure 8, Figure 9, and Figure 10 as examples.

 User Interface

Navigation Tree
The navigation tree contains the logically ordered and grouped content of all the elements of your
HVAC system.The navigation tree populates automatically when spaces, systems, points, and
equipment are installed. A navigation tree provides an alternate way to navigate through the user
interface (Figure 11).
The navigation tree consists of nodes, display text, and icons.You build the tree by choosing
display text for nodes, arranging the nodes, and assigning associated graphics to them.The
graphics represent equipment and areas of the facility.

User Security
A sophisticated password system protects aTracer system from unauthorized access. Operators
are assigned a role, which defines their access rights. Operators have access only to those features
which are defined in their roles. Several predefined roles can be selected from theTracer SC
interface and roles can also be customized. An operator with administrative-level security can
manage users and roles and has the ability to reset passwords.
