Overview and specifications

Binary input switching devices

 

Occupancy, condensate overflow, low-coil-temperature, and fan status inputs accept switching 
devices that may have normally open or normally closed dry contacts.

Output devices

Output devices connected to the Tracer ZN521 binary outputs cannot exceed 12 VA (0.5 A) current 
draw at 24 Vac.

Zone temperature sensors

Table 1

 shows the Trane zone temperature sensors that are supported by the Tracer ZN521 zone 

controller. 

Valve actuators

Valve actuators cannot exceed 12 VA draw at 24 Vac. For two-position valves, use actuators with 
on/off action, and with a spring action that returns the valve to normally open or closed (dependent 
on the desired default position). For modulating valve control, use tri-state modulating actuators 
with or without a spring return, as required by the application.

Damper actuators

Damper actuators cannot exceed 12 VA draw at 24 Vac. For control of outdoor/return air dampers, 
use tri-state modulating actuators that incorporate a spring return.

Zone humidity sensor

For measurement of relative humidity (RH), the Tracer ZN521 requires a zone humidity sensor with 
a 4–20 mA output, where 4 mA is 0% RH and 20 mA is 100% RH. The controller provides 20 Vdc to 
power the zone humidity sensor. 

CO

2

 sensor

For CO

2

 measurement, the Tracer ZN521 requires a CO

2

 sensor with a 4–20 mA output, where 4 mA 

= 0 ppm and 20 mA = 2000 ppm.
