SAFETY WARNING
Only qualified personnel should install and service the equipment. The installation,
starting up, and servicing of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning equipment
can be hazardous and requires specific knowledge and training. Improperly
installed, adjusted or altered equipment by an unqualified person could result in
death or serious injury. When working on the equipment, observe all precautions in
the literature and on the tags, stickers, and labels that are attached to the
equipment.

The frame-mounted Tracer MP581 controller can be used to replace
controllers in existing equipment or can be mounted in new equipment or
custom enclosures.
Note: The board shipped with these instructions (marked P/N 6400-2580-
01 or higher) requires firmware Version 4.00.007 or newer to function
correctly. Do not downgrade firmware below Version 4.00.007.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing this unit.
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required. Your
personal safety and the proper operation of this machine depend upon
the strict observance of these precautions.
Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can
affect the earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when
released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified
chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain
Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen,
Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing
these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment.
Trane advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants-including
industry replacements for CFCs such as HCFCs and HFCs.
Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the
environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All
technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified according to local
rules. For the USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the
requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of
certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service
procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have
additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible
management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury. It could also be used to alert
NOTICE Indicates a situation that could result in
equipment or property-damage only accidents.
Operating Environment
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury. All field wiring
MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded
field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards,
you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as
described in NEC and your local/state electrical codes.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment Required!
Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to electrical, mechanical
and chemical hazards. Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST
put on all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) recommended for the work
being undertaken. ALWAYS refer to appropriate SDS sheets and OSHA
guidelines for proper PPE. When working with or around hazardous chemicals,
ALWAYS refer to the appropriate SDS sheets and OSHA guidelines for
information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory
protection and handling recommendations. If there is a risk of arc or flash,
technicians MUST put on all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in
accordance with NFPA70E for arc/flash protection PRIOR to servicing the unit.
Failure to follow recommendations could result in death or serious injury.
