Required Components (ordered separately):
4" Square Electrical Box
24 VAC Transformer – The size of the transformer
needed is determined by the total power requirements
for the control panel, thermostats and dampers. The
control panel and thermostats together require 10VA.
The dampers require 10VA each. The size of the
transformer will depend on the greatest number of
dampers that could be energized at any given time.
Thermostats – single-stage, electronic, 24-volt
heat/cool thermostats which include a “C”
(24VAC common) terminal. Do not use mechanical
or power robbing thermostats.
Dampers – 2 or 3-wire, 24-volt dampers required.
NOTE – When power closed/spring open dampers
are used, at least one zone’s dampers will not be
energized during a call for heating or cooling.
2-wire, power closed/spring open preferred.

FRONT
The tip of the sensor must be located in a region of fully
mixed supply of air before the take-offs (not in a dead
air space) in order for the system to work correctly.
a. Wire discharge air temperature probe to control
panel using thermostat wire. Note that the
temperature sensor is not polarity sensitive.
b. Be sure that the tip of the sensor is located at
least 15 inches downstream from the leaving air
side of the evaporator in the discharge plenum,
and 1/3 of the depth (D/3) of the plenum (D) from
the front of the plenum (the front is the side with
the furnace or CB access doors), and centered
side to side. Move the adjustable bracket along
the length of the discharge air sensor to achieve
proper sensor tip location (tip of sensor to be
located at W ÷ 2). The sensor can be inserted
from any side of the plenum, as long as the tip of
the sensor is in the correct position. See Figure 3.
FIGURE 3 – DISCHARGE AIR SENSOR LOCATION
IMPORTANT: The discharge air sensor is required.
If a short or open circuit is detected between the
Plenum Sensor terminals, the control panel will only
respond to Zone 1 and the dampers will stay in the
open position.

Installation (continued)
5. Install the required transformer selected from Table 1
– DO NOT USE the HVAC equipment transformer to
power the control panel. Refer to the instructions
provided with the transformer.
6. Install the thermostats. Refer to the instructions
provided with the thermostat.
Any 24-volt electronic thermostat with a “C” (24 VAC
common) terminal can be used. Power robbing
thermostats can cause unintended operation –
DO NOT use mechanical or power robbing
thermostats. Table 2 lists the required terminals
and recommended Lennox thermostats:
18 AWG thermostat wire minimum recommended.
Sizing the Transformer:
The system requires approximately 10 VA for the
control panel and thermostats and 10 VA for each
damper. The size of the transformer will depend on the
greatest number of dampers that could be energized
at any given time (at least one zone’s dampers will not
be energized during a heating or cooling call when
using power close, spring open dampers). The size of
the transformer must not exceed 75VA. If the value is
greater than 75VA, some dampers will need to be
powered by a separate transformer – refer to Field
Wiring Damper Diagram 2 on page 6.
18 AWG thermostat wire minimum recommended.

Bypass Damper Sizing
When fewer than the maximum number of zones are
calling for heating or cooling, an excess volume of air is
delivered, and because of the excess air, an excess
amount of static pressure is produced as well. Zone
systems often require a bypass duct to relieve this
pressure. A properly sized barometric bypass damper
must be installed in the bypass duct which is run
between the supply and return air duct systems (see
Figure 4). The barometric damper and the bypass duct
must be sized to accommodate the excess static
pressure from the supply duct.
Example:
Total System air volume: 2000 cfm
Air volume of smallest zone: 600 cfm
Bypass requirement: 2000 - 600 = 1400 cfm
In this example, the bypass duct should be sized to
handle the 1400 cfm excess pressure created when
only the smallest zone has a demand. For bypass
damper air volume capacities, see Table 3.
TABLE 3
The bypass tap in the return air duct must be at least
6 ft. from the furnace /air handler to ensure that the hot
or cold air coming off of the plenum has time to mix
with the return air before it passes through the air
handler again. The provided discharge air sensor will
prevent any damage to the equipment from overheating
or coil freeze-up by interrupting the HVAC equipment.

8 in. dia. – 400 cfm

16 in. dia. – 2400 cfm
12 x 8 – 1000 cfm
12 x 10 – 1200 cfm
12 x 12 – 1400 cfm
20 x 8 – 1600 cfm
20 x 10 – 2000 cfm
20 x 12 – 3000 cfm
The bypass damper and duct should be sized to handle
the excess pressure created when the smallest zone is
operating alone (worst case). To size the bypass
damper, subtract the total air volume capacity of the
smallest zone from the total air volume of the system.
Refer to the parts and supplies catalog for information
on available barometric bypass dampers.

Pin Jumper Settings (see Figure 5)
DISCHARGE AIR SENSOR HT-140/160: This jumper
controls the temperature at which the heating equipment
will cut out to prevent overheating. For a high limit
temperature of 140°F, move the jumper to the “140”
position. For a high limit temperature of 160°F, leave the
jumper in the “160” position.
IMPORTANT: The temperature sensor is required.
If a short or open circuit is detected between the
Discharge Air Sensor (DAS) terminals, the control
panel will only respond to Zone 1 and the dampers
will not close.
FIGURE 5 – PIN JUMPER SETTINGS
ELECTRIC/GAS: If electric heat is to be used, move the
jumper to the “ELECT” position. This will turn on the fan
(G output terminal) with a heat call (W output terminal).
If the jumper is in the “GAS” position, it is assumed that
the heating equipment will control the fan operation.
DISCHARGE AIR SENSOR CL-45/40: This jumper
controls the temperature at which the cooling
equipment will cut out to prevent freezing the indoor
coil. For a low limit temperature of 45°F, leave the
jumper in the “45” position. For a low limit temperature
of 40°F, move the jumper to the “40” position. To
maintain optimum operation, it is recommended to leave
this setting at “45”.
NO PURGE / PURGE: If the NO PURGE / PURGE
jumper is moved to the “PURGE” purge position, the G
terminal will remain energized for a one minute purge
delay following the completion of a cooling call. If the
jumper is moved to the “NO PURGE” position, the G
terminal will de-energize immediately following the
completion of a cooling call. The NO PURGE setting is
designed for use with systems where the furnace or air
handler has a built in fan purge. The NO PURGE
damper hold time is longer than the PURGE setting due
to the Lennox furnaces installer settable maximum
blower off delay of 3 minutes. The following chart details

Sequence of Operation
A Time Delay Override (TDO) button is available on the
control panel to speed up the internal timer by a factor
of 60 for system checkout. One second of holding down
the button relates to one minute of speed up time in the
control.
Heat/Cool Changeover: When a call for heating or
cooling exists and an opposing call is made from
another zone, a 20 minute timer is activated. If the
original call is not satisfied within that 20-minute time
period, the call will be interrupted, turning the equipment
off and allowing for the normal fan purge cycle and
minimum equipment off time. The opposing call will then
be answered. After 20 minutes, if the original call still
exists, the opposing call will be interrupted and the
original call can once again be recognized.
HEATING AND COOLING EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Heating Operation
When a zone makes a call for Heat, the W output
terminal will energize. The G terminal will also energize
if the ELECTRIC/GAS jumper is in the ELECT position.
The W terminal de-energizes when (1) all zones stop
calling for Heat, (2) the call has exceeded the heat/cool
changeover time limit while a cooling call exists or (3)
the call is interrupted by the high limit setting. When the
W terminal is de-energized, a minimum off time delay of
4 minutes must elapse before it can be energized again.
High/Low Limit Temperature: The high/low limit
temperature settings are designed to prevent the heat
exchanger from overheating or the cooling coil from
freezing. The temperature sensor in the supply duct
senses the discharge air temperature and interrupts the
heating/cooling equipment (depending on the Heat and
Cool temperatures set on the control panel) before
overheating/freezing occurs. When a heating/cooling
call is interrupted by the high/low temperature limit, the
zone control panel turns the equipment off and
energizes the G terminal (if not already energized). The
W or Y LED on the control panel will flash during a
high/low limit temperature interrupt. Once the
Fan Purge Time Delay
If the ELECTRIC/GAS jumper is in the ELECT
position and the PURGE/NO PURGE jumper is in the
PURGE position, the G terminal will remain energized
for one minute after the W terminal is de-energized.
The NO PURGE setting is the preferred purge control
setting for Lennox equipment. Lennox equipment
includes controls which sequence the indoor fan off
after a call for heat has been satisfied.
temperature drops/rises 10°F and the minimum off time
has expired, the equipment is turned back on if the call
for conditioning still exists. The Heating/Cooling LED will
stop flashing.
If the ELECTRIC/GAS jumper is set in the GAS
position, the G terminal does not turn on during purge
regardless of the position of the PURGE or NO
PURGE switch. Lennox furnaces will control the
purge though the furnace control board cool down
feature. The cool down time is often adjustable at the
furnace control board up to 3.5 minutes. NO PURGE
is the preferred method of purge when this zone
panel is applied to Lennox equipment.
IMPORTANT: Should a short or open circuit be
detected across the DAS terminals, the zone system
will respond only to Zone 1 and the dampers will
not energize.
Cooling Operation
When a zone makes a call for Cooling, the Y and G
terminals will energize. The Y terminal de-energizes
when (1) all zones stop calling for Cooling, (2) the call
has exceeded the heat/cool changeover time limit while
a heat call exists or (3) the call is interrupted by the low
limit temperature setting. When the Y terminal is de-
energized, a minimum off time delay of 4 minutes must
elapse before it can be energized again.
Fan Purge Time Delay
If the PURGE/NO PURGE jumper is in the PURGE
position, the G terminal will remain energized for one
minute after the Y terminal is de-energized. If the
jumper is in the NO PURGE position, the G terminal
will de-energize immediately.

Sequence of Operation (continued)
CONTINUOUS FAN OPERATION
A call for Fan from any zone will initiate the G
equipment output terminal. The normally open (NO)
damper terminal at all zones not calling for continuous
fan will be energized.
DAMPER OPERATION
The “NO” output will be energized and the “NC” output
will be de-energized for any zone not calling for heating
or cooling while the equipment output is energized and
during the damper purge time delay. During equipment
operation or during the damper purge time delay,
should all zones stop calling for heating or cooling, the
damper terminals will remain in the position they were
in before all zones stopped calling.
Damper Purge Time Delay
When the Purge/No Purge jumper is at No Purge,
the damper purge time delay is 3.5 minutes and
begins when the equipment output(s) turn off. NO
PURGE is the preferred method of purge control for
Lennox furnaces and air conditioners. When the
jumper is at Purge, the damper purge time delay is
one (1) minute.

Consult condensing unit manual for possible cause.
Condensing unit receiving signal but will not turn on.
Condenser control board anti short cycle timer is not
yet expired. Most anti short cycle timers are 5 minutes
or less, if the unit does not start after 5 minutes consult
the condensing unit manual for possible causes.
A high static condition exists. Move the sensor
further down stream to sense air that has mixed more
thoroughly. Be sure not to place the senor past
the take offs. High static pressure must be corrected.
Furnace tripped the primary limit, but the
zone panel does not indicate that the discharge
air limit has been exceeded.
Bypass tap is too close to inlet of air handler.
Adjust bypass tap in the return air duct so that is further
away from the furnace. This will give the air more of a
chance to be tempered with room return air before
entering the air handler again.
Limit on furnace open. Check position of DAS in
the plenum and move further down stream if possible.
High static condition must be corrected.
Air handler receiving signal but will not turn on.
DAS limit jumper needs to be moved to a lower setting.
Trouble shoot air handler – see air handler

Troubleshooting (continued)
Symptom
DETECTING DAMPER PROBLEMS
Possible Solution
DAS shorted or open causing the panel to only respond
to zone 1 inputs while not closing any dampers.
Damper opens when it should be closed.
Damper wired incorrectly. Spring open power close
dampers should be connected between NO and
C terminals.
DAS shorted or open causing the panel to only respond
to zone 1 inputs while not closing any dampers.
Damper will not close.
Damper motor faulty.
CHECKING THERMOSTAT VOLTAGES
Using a digital voltmeter (DVM) measure the AC voltage supplied at the R and C terminals of the Thermostat
inputs on the control panel for the zone in question. This voltage should be same as the voltage supplied to the
control panel 24VAC terminals. Make a call for heat, cooling or fan. Measure the voltage across the terminal that
should be energized (i.e. W for heat, Y for cooling, etc.) and the C terminal. This should be the same voltage as
there is between the R and C terminals. Measure the voltage across a terminal that should NOT be energized
and the C terminal; this voltage should be zero.
DISCHARGE AIR SENSOR CHECKOUT
The discharge air sensor is a temperature dependent resistor; the higher the temperature, the lower the
resistance. In order to confirm the sensor is working, both sensor leads must be disconnected from the zone
panel board. Using a digital voltmeter (DVM) set to read resistance, touch the leads from the sensor to the
probes of the DVM. Take care not to create a parallel resistance path through your body by touching both probes
with your fingers or a faulty reading will be obtained. At 77F, the resistance of the sensor will be 10K ohm. If the
sensor is cooler than 77F, the resistance will be higher, if it is warmer, the resistance will be lower. After reading
the resistance at room temperature, warm the tip of the sensor by holding it in the palm of your hand, and take
another resistance reading. This reading should be noticeable lower than the room temperature reading.

The zone panel is well equipped to monitor the operation of the probe and determine if a failure has occurred.
The probe should be considered an integral (but replaceable) part of the zone panel. The zone panel will indicate
if the probe is operating improperly and needs to be replaced.
