3) Components
3.1 Wall Controller (Touchpad)
Users can input control commands from
the wall controller to turn a group on or off.
It is used to input all the program parameters.
The LCD on the wall controller displays clock,
zone status and temperature.
3.2 Main Control Module and its
Extension Module
Main control module (8 zones with bypass
port) and its optional extension module
(extra 8 zones) control the position of
motorized damper of each zone.
3.3 Motorized Damper (Bright Green)
Motorized damper drives the blade of the
damper to turn on/off the air supply.
3.4 Cables
Cables with left latch or central latch
plugs connect the main control module, its
extension module, touchpads and motorized
damper together.
3.5 Supply Air Sensor
Supply air sensor measures the temperature
of the supply air for safety purposes.
3.6 Power Supply
24VAC transformers provide power to the
main control module and extension module.
3.7 Rechargable Battery
The backup battery is used to store the time
when there is a power surge. It is recommended
to install the battery after power is on. Otherwise
the system may not be initialised properly due
to the low voltage of the new battery.

4) Conguration
MaxiPoint V2 is a star architecture system for communications between
the main control module, extension module, 8 or 16 zone dampers and
upto4touchpads.Figure1and2showtwodifferentcongurations
covering 8 & 16 zones. Figure 3 shows the linking of the main module to
the extension module and the touchpads.
Eight motorised dampers can be connected to the main control module.
In addition, there is a dedicated bypass port where a damper is used to
return the supply air directly to the return air duct. (See Spill/Bypass Mode
on Page 12 )
Extension Module
An extension module can be plugged into the main control module to
expand the number of zones to 16, as shown in Figure 2. A separate 24
VAC power supply is required for the power supply to the 8 extra zones.
The cabling of the MaxiPoint V2 is straightforward. A cable with central
latched plugs connects a motorised damper to the relevant output port
clearly marked on the main control or extension module.
Figure 1: MaxiPoint V2 Main Control Module with
2 Touchpads and 8 dampers
ZONEMASTER MAXIPOINT V2 DAMPER CONTROL SYSTEM - Installation Manual 5
Main module and extension module can be located in different positions
and connected via a cable with left latched plugs on both ends as shown
inFigure3.Touchpadisconnectedtothe‘T’portonmainmoduleusinga
cable with left latched plugs.
Up to 4 touchpads can be joined in a system. The 4 touchpads are
connected to each other with a double left latched adaptor.

5) Pre-Installation
Good planning leads to a successful zone system installation. Before
physical installation and commissioning a zoning system, please complete
the following listed tasks:
5.1 Decide how many zones (dampers) are to be controlled in the system.
5.2 Assign lower order zones (1, 2, 3…) to dampers close to return air
grille which will automatically open when spilling required. However
avoid using lower order zones for bedrooms as this may cause
discomfort if auto spilling occurs during sleep time.
5.3 Groupzonesaccordingtocustomer’srequirements.Eachgroup
initially has one zone but can have up to a maximum of 4 zones
(Example: There could be 1 or more zones going into a common area
suchasKitchen/DiningorFamily/Diningroom).Workoutthetotal
group number (Maximum total group number in a system is 16).
5.4 Decide which group will have the Turbo function. Record the above
mentioned information to table 1 and 2 on page 8 in the Operation
manual and to the table on the sticker of the Main Control Module.
NOTE: It is important to test all cables before installation.
Testing all cables to be used before the start of the installation will
save considerable diagnostic time if the fully installed system is
subsequently found to have a problem. Cable testing is quick and
easy with a Zonemaster Cable tester available from Polyaire

6) Component Installation
6.1 Mount the main control module and/or
extension module (if using more than
8 zones) by screwing the box(es) to a
roof frame or Polyaire Diffusion Fitting
(PDF).
6.2 Remove thetwo-sidecoversonthe
main control module so that all the
LEDs and sockets for zone dampers
are exposed.
6.3 If extension module is used connect
main module to extension module at
the‘E’portsonbothmoduleswitha1
metre left latched cable (provided).
6.4 Usepre-testedcabletoconnect‘Z1’
port on the main control module to the
motorised damper of the 1st zone.
6.5 Repeat step 6.4 to connect other zone
dampers, including bypass damper
(‘B’port)ifinstalled,totheirrelevant
zone ports on the main control module
and extension module.
6.6 Mount the supply air sensor in the
supply air duct between the fan coil
andtherstdamperandpushthe
plug of supply air temperature sensor
into the socket on the main control
module (Optional).

6.7 Connect Touchpad(s) to the main
moduleat‘T’portonthemain
module. If multi touchpads used,
use the provided left latched cables
and‘1in2out’femaletofemale
adaptor to join all touchpads.
(Seeinstructionsbelowontmentof
touchpad to wall)
6.8 Connect the 24VAC transformer to
screw terminals on the main control
module. If extension module is used,
connect another 24 VAC transformer
to the screw terminals of the extension
module.
6.9 If both transformers (main module
and extension module) share the same
power switch, switch the power on.
(IMPORTANT NOTE) If NOT, switch
on the power to extension module
rst.Thenturnonthepowertomain
module.Otherwise, the extension
module will NOT be initialised properly.
Circular Red LED on the main module
(and extension module) should be on and
thesystemwillstartinitialising&nish
in about 30 seconds after power on.
6.10 Install the battery as shown in the picture
on the main control module.
6.11 Replace the side covers back on the
main control and extension module
oncenishedsettingandcommissioning.
NOTE: Record the grouped zones and
balancing details on the sticker off the
Main Control Module after commissioning
the system.
