Introduction
TheTracer SC Daily Operations Guide provides information and instructions for tasks that daily
operators typically perform in aTrane BAS using theTracer SC System Controller, such as
managing alarms and events, overriding setpoints, and running reports.
The following information is provided in this document:
• Product overview (hardware, model numbers, licensing)
• Navigating theTracer SC user interface, performing daily operator BAS tasks
• Interpreting the LEDs and 7-segment display, troubleshooting
This guide does not cover programming and configuration. For more information on advanced
user tasks, refer to theTracer SC System Controller Installation and Setup Guide, BAS-SVX31-EN,
or access theTracer SC Help by clicking the help icon located on the global navigation bar.
How to UseThis Guide
Although it is best practice to familiarize yourself with all aspects ofTracer SC, it is not necessary
to read this guide in any particular order or in its entirety.To quickly locate a specific task or topic,
simply refer to theTable of Contents on page 3.
The sections in this guide that describeTracer SC applications will begin with an overview of the
application (Alarms, Reports, for example) and an accompanying figure that shows the application
highlighted on the left-hand navigation bar (see Figure 1).
Note: If you are reading a copy of this document that was translated from English, please note that
all figures and illustrations in this guide are for navigational purposes only. The data and
text depicted is not relevant to the accompanying instructions.
