Panel: Reset, Clear RAM, Delete

There are three advanced operations you can perform on building panels: reset the panel, clear the panel's RAM, and delete the panel.

Reset or Clear RAM

Resetting a panel typically has the same effect as cycling the power for the panel but it could have a different effect depending upon the device manufacturer.  Clearing the panel's random access memory (RAM) clears out volatile memory.

 

Note: Reset and clear RAM are enumerations of the ReinitializeDevice BACnet service.  For Trane panels, Reset RAM sets the ReinitializeDevice bit to 0 (Cold Start) and Clear Ram sets the bit to 1 (Warm Start).  Other vendors may have somewhat different interpretations of these enumerations.

 

To reset a panel or clear its RAM:

Note: You may need to know the password for the panel.

  1. Go to Home | building name | Advanced | Panel Utilities.
  2. Select the panel.
  3. On the Status tab, click Reset or click Clear RAM.
  4. Enter the password, if prompted.

 

Delete

Deleting a panel removes the panel from Tracer Ensemble, but does not remove it from service in the building network.

  1. Go to Home | building name | Advanced | Panel Utilities.
  2. Select the panel.
  3. On the Status tab, click Delete.
