Outdoor Sensor | Zone Remote Thermostat | Freeze Protection | Zones Calling for 2nd Stage | Balance Point (Gas Auxiliary ON) | Balance Point (Gas Auxiliary OFF) | Balance Run Time |
Enables the use of an outdoor sensor.
Connecting a sensor allows for Balance Point settings and will also display outdoor temperature. See the outdoor sensor user guide for more information. | This step links a ZONE thermostat to a MASTER thermostat.
Master Thermostat is always Zone 1.
The ZONE thermostat controls zones 2-5 and 1 is required for each zone. | Turns on the heat for 10 minutes each hour if unable to communicate with the master thermostat, if there has been a call for heat in the last 24 hours. | Configure the number of zones that must be calling for the same mode (heating or cooling) to allow 2nd stage to energize. At least one of the zones must be calling for 2nd stage. For heat pump applications, the auxiliary heat will be allowed to energize if only one zone is calling for heating. If Balance Point is enabled, the Balance Point conditions must be met for auxiliary heat to energize. | The balance point can eliminate the need for fosil fuel kit. An outdoor temperature above the balance point will cause the thermostat to only allow the Y terminal(s) to energize. An outdoor temperature below the balance point will cause the thermostat to only allow W2 to energize.
Note: Only shows up if Heat Pump is set to YES. Outdoor Sensor is turned ON, and GAS Auxiliary is turned ON. | Balance point with electric auxiliary can optimize Heat Pump usage. An outdoor temperature above the balance point will cause the thermostat to only allow the Y terminal(s) to energize. An outdoor temperature below the balance point will cause the thermostat to allow the Y terminal(s) and the W2 terminal to energize. Note: Only shows up if Heat Pump is set to YES and Outdoor Sensor is turned ON and GAS Auxiliary is turned OFF. | Balance point run time will allow the W2 auxiliary terminal to energize even if the outdoor temperature is above the selected balance point temperature. If enabled, the auxiliary will energize for the current cycle after the balance point run time has expired. |

Tech Setup Steps (Continued) | Requires ZDA250W | End of Tech Setup | |||
Link Damper Module | Damper Default Position | Discharge Air Sensor | Discharge Air Sensor High-Temperature Limit | Discharge Air Sensor LOW-Temperature Limit | Satisfy Setpoint |
This step connects the Z955W to Damper Modules. Each Damper Module will open and close the damper(s) for the zone that is configured to control. This will indicate the zone number is it configured for using the Zone 1-5 LED indicators. | Configure the desired damper position when all zones are satisfied. All damper modules will control the damper to this position when calls for heating, cooling, and fan are complete. The module indicates the damper position using Zone 1-5 LEDs. When the damper is closed, the Zone LED will be on solid. When the damper is open, the Zone LED will be flashing. | This step connects a DAS to the Z955W.
Connecting a DAS allows for high and low discharge air temperature limit settings. The discharge air temperature sensor is recommended for safe and efficient zoning. | Configure the discharge (supply) air high temperature limit to prevent overheating. When the discharge air temperature exceeds this setting, heating will de-energize and the fan will remain energized to distribute the warmed air to the zone(s) calling for heat. Heating will energize when the discharge air temperature drops below the limit and the zone(s) still call for heat. | Configure the discharge (supply) air low-temperature limit to prevent coil freezing. When the discharge air temperature is below this setting, cooling will de-energize and the fan will remain energized to distribute the cooled air to the zone(s) calling for cool. Coding will re-energize when the temperature is above the limit if zone(s) is still calling. | This feature allows the thermostat to keep multiple stages of heat or cool energized until the setpoint is satisfied. |
