Suitable Mounting Locations
2
Mount the Zone Panel near the HVAC equipment. The panel can be mounted in any orientation on a wall,
stud, roof truss, or the return-air plenum. For appearance, mount the panel level. Remove the panel cover
and use the base as a template to drill mounting holes (see Figure 2). Attach the panel with appropriate
screws. Use mounting anchors as needed for drywall or plaster installations.

Always turn off power to the heating/air conditioning system prior to installing or adjusting the Zone Panel. Wire the
entire panel before applying transformer power. Use the following general wiring instructions for all systems. Specific
wiring will vary depending on the equipment and type of system (conventional or heat pump). NOTE: Up to 2 wires
can be inserted into each terminal. To release wires, press down on top of wiring terminal and gently pull out wire(s).

Damper Wiring
3.1
Always turn off power to the heating/air conditioning system prior to installing or adjusting the zone panel. Wire
the entire panel before applying transformer power.
Use the following general wiring instructions for all systems. Specific wiring will vary depending on the equipment
and type of system (conventional or heat pump).
Install the system dampers using the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Connect the dampers to the zone
panel as shown for either a 2-wire or 3-wire damper. The sum of all dampers powered by the zone panel should
not exceed 100 VA at 24 VAC. Use a slave relay if additional damper power is required.
ALWAYS PROVIDE DISCONNECT AND OVERLOAD PROTECTION AS REQUIRED

Optional Supply Air Sensor Wiring
3.3
To provide high/low limit protection, install the optional supply air sensor in the
supply air plenum at least 2-3 feet after the heat exchanger and coil. Make sure
there are no zone dampers before the supply air sensor. Connect the supply air
sensor to the zone panel as shown.

Transformer Wiring
3.4
Install the transformer using the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Size the
transformer to the damper requirements. The zone panel has built-in, self-resetting
fuses. The maximum damper power per panel is 100 VA at 24 VAC. Connect the
transformer to the zone panel as shown.
NOTE: Additional dampers or dampers with a higher current draw will require the
use of a separate slave relay.

After the wiring and configuration is complete, built in automatic zone panel tests may be used to verify
equipment, damper, and panel operation.
To start the panel Test Mode:
1. Ensure all wiring is complete and power has been applied to the main and expansion panels
2. Press TEST for 3 seconds and release
3. Press SELECT to turn the test on and off
4. Press NEXT to move on to the next test
5. Press HOLD FOR EXIT for 3 seconds to exit test mode
The following tests are available in Test Mode:
Heating Stage Test ON or OFF
This test turns on the heating stage, the system fan, and also
commands all dampers to open. Press SELECT to Test
or NEXT to advance to the next test.
Cooling Stage Test ON or OFF
This test turns on the cooling stage, the system fan, and also
commands all dampers to open. Press SELECT to Test or NEXT
to advance to the next test.
