Product Description:
|
The Tracker BMTK is used with light commercial rooftop units, split systems, and water source heat pumps in the 3-50 ton range. Tracker BMTK panels control and monitor complete HVAC systems including temperature, humidity, and CO2. The local touch screen LCD display allows the user to set schedules, manage alarms and perform manual overrides. The Tracker BMTK panels have an auto-configuration feature in which all the controllers connected on the shared link will be discovered at initial power up.
Optional Tracker workstation software is available. The software is not necessary to configure or manage the system but offers graphical interface, advanced alarm routing options, reports, trends, and binary output programming.
|
|
Product Application(s):
|
The Tracker BMTK is used for schedules, alarm management, trending of system points, and manual override of HVAC equipment. The Tracker BMTK can also be accessed through a remote dial up connection.
There are three different Tracker BMTK models: the Tracker 12, the Tracker 24, and the Tracker WSHP.
The Tracker 12 and the Tracker 24 are used with the following systems:
- Constant Volume
- Changeover Bypass
- VAV
The Tracker WSHP is used with the following system:
- Water Source Heat Pump
When connected to auxillary I/O modules the Tracker BMTK can control lights, fans and other system components. The Tracker BMTK also has an input for pulsed meters to track energy usage.
Other manufacturer's HVAC equipment can be monitored and controlled through the Tracker BMTK panel when a unitary controller, ZN517, is installed on the piece of equipment.

Additional Information (Optional)
|
Each system can only have one dedicated Tracker BMTK, which only controls that single system. Tracker BMTKs can not communicate with each other, but can reside on the same LAN. When multiple Tracker BMTKs reside on the same LAN and a PC workstation, with Tracker software installed, is also connected the PC workstation can access each individual Tracker BMTK.

No; backed up by a super-capacitor
|
|
Battery Type(s)
|
Super-capacitor
|
|

|
the super-capacitor is good for the life of the controller.
|
|

Additional Information
|
|
|
* Items in NV memory are not lost upon power or battery failure. Other types of NV memory such as EPROM, NOVROM, etc. do not directly
impact system performance.
|
|
Can trend data be stored in this controller?
|
Yes, trend data is always stored in this device.
|
|
How many total trend values can be stored?
|
Up to 16 user-defined trends with a maximum of 64 samples per trend can be stored.
|
|
What is the controllers role in trending?
|
The Tracker BMTK panel is responsible for trend setup, data harvest, and storage.
|
|
Can controller be programmed to 'push' data to archive or are trends 'pulled' from controller?
|
When a PC workstaion with Tracker software is connected it pulls the trend data from the Tracker BMTK panel. If theTracker BMTK panel is not connected to a PC workstation with Tracker software installed, data can not be programmed to archive.
|
|
When full, does controller automatically send up trend data, overwrite data, or stop logging data?
|
Trends in a Tracker BMTK are first in first out (FIFO). The trend will run as it is configured and will overwrite the oldest value if the trend fills up, whether a PC workstation is connected or not. In a TrackerBMTK trends are schedulable so a user can decide when to start and stop a trend making it possible for data to not be overwritten.
