being undertaken (Examples; cut resistant gloves/sleeves, butyl gloves, safety glasses, hard
hat/bump cap, fall protection, electrical PPE and arc flash clothing). ALWAYS refer to
appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)/Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and OSHA
guidelines for proper PPE.
• When working with or around hazardous chemicals, ALWAYS refer to the appropriate MSDS/
SDS and OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of
Chemicals) guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper
respiratory protection and handling instructions.
• If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE
in accordance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific requirements for arc flash
protection, PRIOR to servicing the unit. NEVER PERFORM ANY SWITCHING,
DISCONNECTING, OR VOLTAGE TESTING WITHOUT PROPER ELECTRICAL PPE AND ARC

General Information
This section provides the following product information for the power supply module:
• Product description
• Dimensions
• Clearances
• Codes and standards compliance
• Specifications
The PM014 power supply module provides 24 Vdc forTraneinter-module communication (IMC)
buses. IMC buses are used in components ofTrane building automation systems (BAS), such as
theTracer™ SC system controller and theTracer™XM30 expansion module, and other equipment.
The PM014 uses a full-wave rectifier. It is designed to safely share power with a device that uses
half-wave rectification within the transformer limits.The power supply module has four
connections that provide power to an IMC bus:
• Two four-pin IMC pin connections for use with wiring harnesses.
• Two four-pin IMC terminal blocks for use with field wiring.

Pre-Installation
This section provides the following pre-installation information:
• Mounting location
• Transformer considerations
• Recommended configurations

Mounting Location
Important: The power supply module must be mounted onto a DIN rail inside an enclosure that
meets all local electrical codes.
Observe the following:
• The enclosure must allow for the minimum 1.8 in. (4.6 cm) vent clearance around the top and
bottom of the power supply vents.
• The mounting location must meet the temperature and humidity specifications of the power
supply as outlined in Table 3, p. 9.
• Do not mount the power supply module on a flat surface, such as on a floor or on top of a table.
Mount in an upright position with the front facing outward.

Transformer Considerations
Follow these guidelines when using transformers:
• Transformers must be class 2 rated.
• Non-class 2 transformers must be fused appropriately.
• Fully loaded power supply modules require 75 VA transformers.
The transformer size can be reduced for smaller loads on the power supply module; however,
transformers less than 20VA should not be used. Table 3 shows the recommended transformerVA
based on the PM014 output current.

Power and Field Wiring

After the power supply module has been properly mounted, install input power and field wiring.
Use 18 AWG wire as recommended in Table 4. Refer to Figure 5 for wiring connection locations on
the power supply module. Refer to Table 5 for the recommended connectors.

Table 4. Recommended wire sizes

Purpose Wire Size

Power input terminals 18 AWG

Field-wiring connections 18 AWG

Note: The maximum wire length for 18 AWG wire is 50 feet (15 m). Longer lengths result in
excessive voltage drop and would then require 16 AWG wire.

Installing Power Input Wire

Follow these steps to install power input wiring:
1. Perform lockout/tagout procedures for line voltage power to the cabinet.
2. Install power input wire for the 24 Vac input connection by using 18 AWG wire and the
recommended connector (Table 5).
Note: Strip the wire to expose 0.28 in. (7mm) of bare wire for inserting into the terminal blocks.
After tightening the screws, verify that the wire cannot be easily pulled out by lightly tugging
on each wire. For reference, the screw terminals should be tightened to 0.5 to 0.6 N-m (71-
85 Ozf-in, 4.4-5.3 Lbf-in)

Installing Field Wire

NOTICE:
Avoid Equipment Damage!
All field-installed wiring must be completed by qualified personnel. All field-installed wiring
must comply with applicable local codes. Failure to follow this instruction could result in
equipment damage.

Note: Use the 24Vac output connection if daisy-chaining unit control modules to the power supply
module.The current drawn through this connection should not exceed 3 Aac.

 Installing the Power Supply Module

Separating the IMC Bus for Large Systems

For large systems with heavier loads than the PM014 can power alone, the IMC bus can be
separated into sections that are sized for single power supply modules. Follow the recommended
method described below to separate the IMC bus. An alternative method is also described on p. 16.
Note: The power supply module is not designed to supply power in parallel with other power
supplies.

Recommended method for separating the IMC bus

Note: This method preserves the power supply module warranty.
3. Perform lockout/tagout procedures for line voltage power to the cabinet.
4. Using two parallel DIN rails, position two power supply modules directly above or beneath one
another as shown in Figure 7.
5. Wire the two power supply modules together by using the IMC terminal blocks. Do not wire the
Vdc terminals.
Important: To prevent power flow between modules, the Vdc terminals must not be wired.

Starting Up the Power Supply Module

Follow these steps to start up the power supply module:
1. Ensure that input voltage is 24 Vac.

WARNING
Hazardous voltage!
Connection to voltages beyond ratings will cause shock and fire hazards and damage
anything connected to the power supply.

2. Remove the lockout/tagout from line voltage power to the electrical cabinet.
3. Apply power.
Note: Initially, the power supply module may take up to 10 seconds to start. Subsequent starts take
approximately 2 seconds.

16 BAS-SVX33D-EN
Operation and Troubleshooting
This section describes normal operations and troubleshooting for the power supply module.

Operational Features
• A status LED indicates the status of the output voltage. When lit, it indicates that the power
supply has started properly and that the output voltage is above minimum level.
• If power is lost, the output voltage will remain within the specifications outlined in Table 2, p. 8
for at least 50 ms.
• The power supply module can tolerate a brief short circuit on the output and will auto-retry after
removal of the short.The average input current is approximately 2 A if the power supply module
output is shorted out.
Note: There are no serviceable components inside the power supply module. Replace upon
failure.

Troubleshooting
During normal operation, the status LED on the power supply module will illuminate green
continuously.The following table contains status LED activity indicators and suggested
troubleshooting solutions for non-normal status LED modes.
If the following troubleshooting recommendations reveal no problems, you may need to replace
the power supply module. Remove the power supply as instructed in “Repositioning or Removing
the Power Supply Module,” p. 12.
