24 Vac ±10%, 50–60 Hz, 15 VA
26 Vdc (25 V min, 30 V max)
For communication with the control module network using
ARC156 or MS/TP (9600 bps–76.8 kbps)
For RS room sensors. The Rnet port supports up to four
RS sensors and one RS Pro or RS Plus sensor for
averaging or high/low select control.
NOTE The ZN551 does not support BACview.
For LogiStat and LogiStat Plus room sensors. The LogiStat
port uses two universal inputs.
NOTE The ZN551 does not support the LogiStat Pro. Use
an RS Pro on the Rnet port instead.
5 inputs configurable for thermistor or dry contact. Inputs
1 and 2 are also configurable for 0–5 Vdc. Inputs 4 and 5
are used when a LogiStat sensor is connected, but are
available if an RS room sensor is connected.
Digital outputs
Analog output 1 analog output, 0–10 Vdc (5 mA max)
10-year Lithium CR2032 battery provides a minimum of
10,000 hours of data retention during power outages
Incoming power and network connections are protected
by non-replaceable internal solid-state polyswitches that
reset themselves when the condition that causes a fault
returns to normal. The power, network, analog inputs,
analog outputs, and relay output connections are also
protected against voltage transient and surge events.

Description
Precon type 2 (10 kOhm at 77°F). Input voltages will be
from 0.33 Vdc to 2.52 Vdc for thermistors.
A 3.3 Vdc wetting voltage detects contact position,
resulting in a 0.3 mA maximum sense current when the
contacts are closed.
The output impedance of a 0–5 Vdc source must not
exceed 100 Ohms. The input impedance of the ZN551
is approximately 30 kOhm.
IN-5–Setpoint adjust. Input voltages should be from
1.4–3.4 Vdc.

5 11/16 in. (14.4 cm)
NOTE A LogiStat sensor connected to the ZN551 uses IN-4 and IN-5. An RS
room sensor connected to the Rnet port does not use these inputs.
You can wire an RS Standard, RS Plus or RS Pro to the ZN551's Rnet port.
Or you can wire a LogiStat or LogiStat Plus to the ZN551's LStat port. See the
RS Room Sensors Technical Instructions (http://info.automatedlogic.com) or
the LogiStat Sensors Technical Instructions (http://info.automatedlogic.com).
NOTE The ZN551 does not support the LogiStat Pro.
The ZN551 has 5 digital outputs. You can connect each output to a
maximum of 24 Vac/Vdc. Each output is a dry contact rated at 1 A, 24 V
maximum and is normally open.
The ZN551 has 1 analog output that supports voltage devices from 0-10 Vdc.
The controlled device must have a minimum of 2000 Ohms resistance

To mount the ZN551
measured from its input to ground and must share the same ground as the
control module.
Screw the ZN551 into an enclosed panel using the mounting slots provided
on the cover plate. Leave about 2 in. (5 cm) on each side of the control
module for wiring.

CAUTIONS
•The ZN551 is a Class 2 device (less than 30 Vac, 100 VA). Take
appropriate isolation measures when mounting it in a control panel
where non-Class 2 devices (120 Vac or greater) are present.
•Do not power pilot relays from the same transformer that powers the
ZN551.
NOTE You can power several control modules from the same transformer if
you maintain the same polarity.
1 Remove power from the 24 Vac transformer.
2 Pull the screw terminal connector from the control module's power
terminals labeled Gnd and 24 Vac.
3 Connect the transformer wires to the screw terminal connector.
4 Apply power to the transformer.
5 Measure the voltage at the ZN551’s power input terminals to verify that
the voltage is within the operating range of 21.6–26.4 Vac.
6 Insert the screw terminal connector into the ZN551's power terminals.
7 Verify that the Power LED is on and the Run LED is blinking.
You can address the ZN551 before or after you wire the control module for
power.
1 If the ZN551 has been wired for power, pull the screw terminal connector
2 Using the rotary switches, set the control module's address to match the
from the control module's power terminals labeled Gnd and 24 Vac. The
control module reads the address each time you apply power to it.
Address in the control module's Device Properties dialog box in
SiteBuilder. Set the Tens (10's) switch to the tens digit of the address,
and set the Ones (1's) switch to the ones digit.
EXAMPLE If the control module’s address is 35, point the arrow on the
Tens (10's) switch to 3 and the arrow on the Ones (1's) switch to 5.

Wiring for communications
The ZN551 communicates using BACnet on the following types of network
segments:
• ARC156 communicating at 156 kbps
• MS/TP communicating at 9600 bps, 19.2 kbps, 38.4 kbps, or 76.8 kbps
NOTE ARC156 is a unique implementation of the industry standard
ARCNET. For a summary of differences between ARCNET and ARC156, see
the ARC156 Wiring Technical Instructions (http://info.automatedlogic.com).
