Troubleshooting

The following troubleshooting suggestions are meant to help resolve most common problems

associated with the Tracer SC. If you unable to resolve the problem, contact a qualified Trane
service technician or the Trane Product Support team.

Troubleshooting with LEDs and the 7-Segment Display

The LEDs and the 7-segment display can be used for troubleshooting. Refer to the following table

for causes and resolutions to specific LED displays. See

“LEDs and the 7-Segment Display,” p. 41

for LED locations on the Tracer SC.

Force Return to Factory Defaults

In some cases, a corrupt database or similar problem may prevent you from accessing theTracer
SC user interface in order to return to factory defaults.

If this occurs, do the following to return to factory defaults:

1.

Power down the Tracer SC.

2. Reset the rotary switches to “999.”

3. Power up the Tracer SC.

The 7-segment display shows F, o, r, C, E.

4. Within 30 seconds, set the rotary switches to the intended normal value.

The 7-segment display shows C, L, E, A, r, indicating that the database is being cleared. It will

then resume normal operation showing –L on the 7-segment display during startup and then

“dancing dashes.”

Note:

If rotary switches are not reset within 30 seconds, theTracer SC will power down leaving
the database intact.

This code indicates that a recoverable error is 
present, and is waiting to restart. The restart 
process may take up to four hours. 

Contact the Trane Product Support team if your 
Tracer SC does not restart after the maximum 
four hour period.

This indicates that the Tracer SC is not 
connected to Ethernet. 

Check all cables and connections. It may be 
possible that the Ethernet cable is not working. 
Attempt to resolve by replacing the Ethernet 
cable.

Ethernet ACT LED is not illuminated

This indicates that communication does not 
exist between the Tracer SC and Ethernet. 

Verify that the IP address you have entered is 
correct. 

Red status LED along with an F code or H code 
on the 7-segment display

Contact the Trane Product Support team

Status LED is unlit.

The Tracer SC is not receiving power.

Verify that the power supply is functioning 
properly.

LonTalk Service LED is red

Note:

Upon startup the LonTalk LED is 

momentarily red and is not a cause for 

alarm. 

Contact the Trane Product Support team. 

7-segment display shows 3, 2, 1 and then 
lower-left, upper-right in sequence

Indicates that the application is shutting down 
and not restarting.
