Two- and Four-Pipe Changeover Operation
Tracer™ ZN controllers offer accurate and reliable unit changeover using 2-way valves and the 
controller’s entering water temperature sampling function. Only units using the main hydronic coil 
for both heating and cooling (2-pipe and 4-pipe changeover units) use the entering water 
temperature sampling function.
Two-pipe and 4-pipe changeover applications require an entering water temperature sensor to 
allow the main coil to be used for heating and cooling. This sensor is factory-provided and should 
be field-installed on the entering water pipe.
The entering water temperature sampling function periodically opens the two-way valve to allow 
temporary water flow, producing reliable entering water temperature measurement. To ensure 
accurate unit changeover without sacrificing the benefits of 2-way, 2-position valves, Tracer™ ZN 
controllers periodically test the entering water temperature on all hydronic main coil changeover 
units. Hydronic heating/cooling changeover operation requires central plant operation, and the 
unit controller must use an entering water temperature sensor to verify delivery of the correct water 
temperature from the central plant.
Entering Water Temperature Sampling Function
The entering water temperature (EWT) must be five degrees above the space temperature for 
hydronic heating and five degrees below the space temperature for hydronic cooling. When water
