Zone Installation & Commissioning

Overview
Installation Requirements

LOCATION

  • ENSURE that the zone controller distance from
    wall controller (C1 assigned) is within the recommended RF range of 30m
  • Do not install the zone controller on external walls, directly below the supply air grille or near other additional heat load sources, as these locations may alter sensor readings.
  • Do not install the zone controller near magnetic, metallic objects or install near power cables as these may effect the RF performance.
  • Avoid looping excess cable.
  • Ensure there is an ample space (100mm) around the zone
    controller to ensure proper air temperature reading and
    adequate access for service.
  • It is required to use the provided wall anchors and screws to
    secure the device on the wall.
  • If a zone controller is required to be replaced, remember to
    unpair the existing controller and pair the new one to the
    master controller.
  • Plug the power cable to its designated zone damper
    terminal or zone module terminal (using a 3-way cable
    joiner).
  • DO NOT use battery and zone power cable at the same time.
  • Make sure that the zone controller is installed in an upright
    position.
