Introduction
This installation document contains information about the BACnet® Communication Interface for
IntelliPak™ and IntelliPak II (BCI-I) controller. This controller allows IntelliPak and IntelliPak II units
to communicate on open, standard interoperable protocols used in Building Automation and
Control Networks (BACnet) to give customers the flexibility to choose the best possible vendor for
their building subsystems and easily incorporate Trane products into legacy systems in existing
buildings. It is intended to be installed by a qualified System lntegrator who is properly trained and
experienced in BACnet. The BCI-I utilizes BACnet and ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2004 protocol
which provides building owners the capability to connect various types of building control systems
or subsystems together for a variety of reasons. In addition, multiple vendors can use this protocol
to share information for monitoring and supervisory control between systems and devices in a
multi-vendor interconnected system.
The BACnet protocol identifies standard objects (data points) called BACnet objects. Each object
has a defined list of properties that provide information about that object. BACnet also defines a
number of standard application services that are used to access data and manipulate these objects
and provides a client/server communication between devices.
The BCI-I controller is available as a factory-installed option or field-installed kit. The features and
functions described in this manual apply to either option. This document details:
•
module installation instructions
•
wiring harness installation instructions
