Trane guys...Relia tel module

[referjunkie]

Have a customer that wanted a Trane unit so they could at a later date put in a couple more Trane units. They want to tie into a tracer computer later. Getting ready to install a YSC120 unit w/ a relia tel board to access tracer system. Since there is no tracer set up at the moment can I run a conventional 24vac stat until we get ready to set up units and tracer system? The instructions seem to say you can. Just want to make sure before blowing a board or fuse. Thanks.

It's been a while since I've worked on a Trane but last I remember the answer is yes. The latest generation of boards allow the use of conventional TS without the interface board.

You should get a second opinion since I haven't been in the field for over a year.

I will wait to see what other guys say but it is new to me. I have worked on Voyagers and Intellipacks for awhile now and you have to buy the seperate board, like you said, for 24VAC controls.

Yes you can, the Relital control has wire termination points on the board for conventional t-stats and Trane zone sensors. No more need for a CTI board.

Look at pages 19, 20, 21, and 53 (look at the Acrobat Reader page number...not the manual page number!)

Answer is yes...regular stat will work.

Coventional stat? Yes

You got it. Yes it will!

You can use the conventional thermostat for now but if you go to the tracer or summit system you will need to install the regualr trane zone sensor so that the system will have control of the unit. I would probably go ahead and install the sensor now and get it over with. when you install the tracer system you will have to add a communication board to the unit and give it an address.

Finished installing the unit today. Used reg. T-stat just fine. One of the nicest Trane units I have seen in a long time. Have another question pertaining to the unit. Had econo w/ it. Popped out panel to expose metal filter. Noticed below that about 6" tall by panel size it is open. No extra panel to put on there. Am I missing something?
