original EZ Zone Control System concept by redesigning, enhancing and expanding the original systems capabilities under the new Auto-Zone Controls System
name.
WattMaster’s Auto-Zone Control Systems have continued in the York EZ Zone tradition of keeping the controls simple to install and use while enhancing the system to make it more applicable and in line with the needs
of the current marketplace. In addition to offering an
excellent control system for zoning applications, the
Auto-Zone Control System has been expanded to allow control of multiple single zone constant volume
units and other devices such as lighting, exhaust fans,
and unit heaters.

The York International Corporation’s EZ Zone Controls
System was first introduced in the early nineties. The
EZ Zone Controls System was designed for York, by
WattMaster Controls, as a simple zone control system
for York’s line of commercial unitary roof top and split
system HVAC units. Since its original design and introduction, the York EZ Zone Control System has
changed very little.

EZ Zone Upgrade Overview
EZ Zone/Auto-Zone
The basic steps required to upgrade your EZ
Zone system to an Auto-Zone system are:
z Determine what EZ Zone components
are currently installed on the system.
z Replace the existing EZ-Zone Master
Controller board with an Auto-Zone
Zone Manager controller board
z Replace the existing EZ Zone
EPROM’s in each Zone Controller
with a new Auto-Zone EPROM.
z Install return air and outside air
temperature sensors
EZ Zone to Auto-Zone upgrade allows you to
retain:
z All existing wiring
z Master Controller enclosure with
keypad and display
z Existing supply air and static pressure
sensors
z Existing bypass damper
After upgrading your system from EZ Zone to
Auto-Zone, you will be able to take advantage
of many new enhancements including:
Damper actuators can be programmed
z
for direct or reverse operation
z Full modulating economizer control
capability including optional wetbulb
economizer control
z Outside air temperature sensor provides
lockout function for both heating and
cooling. When converted to Auto-Zone
Plus system only one outside air sensor
is required for the entire system
z Contact closure input for dirty filter
status
z Global and individual zone override
modes
z Zones can be set for voting or
nonvoting status
z Room sensor slide can be programmed
± 0° F to ± 5° F adjustment
from setpoint
z All Zone Dampers
z * All Zone Controllers
z Room sensors
z Staging delays, minimum off times,
and changeover intervals are
programmable
z Sensor offset calibration to correct
sensor errors due to poor location
z * Modem Link Central
z * All Master Interface Boards
z ZoneView enhanced graphical computer
front end software available when
CommLink and a PC are used
z All Fan Terminal Controllers

EZ Zone/Auto-Zone
Component Descriptions
The general architecture of the EZ Zone and the AutoZone Systems are very similar making the upgrade process relatively easy.
There are some changes in the component descriptions
between the EZ Zone system and the Auto-Zone system. It is important to understand these differences
before you begin the upgrade process.

EZ Zone/Auto-Zone
Example #1:
Your project has a single EZ Zone Master Panel and
it’s associated Zone Controllers. This is a typical EZ
Zone system. The upgrade will essentially convert this
to an Auto-Zone Basic System. Please see the required
upgrade components to be ordered in the list below.
To upgrade your existing EZ Zone System to the AutoZone Basic System the following procedure will be required.
Warning: All removal and installation procedures
must be done with the power to the controllers
turned off. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to the controller boards.
1) All power and input/output wiring will need to be
disconnected from the board. Remove the enclosure
cover and disconnect the keypad & display cable by
unplugging the cable connector at the board connection.
2) The new Return Air Sensor should be installed in
the return air stream in a location upstream of the point
that the bypass duct connects to the return duct.
3) Install the new Outdoor Air Sensor in a location on
the exterior of the building that provides shade and pro-
tection from the weather. See the mounting instructions
included with the sensor for detailed mounting instructions.
4) Remove the existing EZ Zone Master Controller
Board from the EZ Zone enclosure. This will require
the removal of 4 screws securing the board to the enclosure base.
5) Install the new Zone Manager board onto the existing enclosure base. The new board installation requires
6 plastic standoffs be inserted between the back of the
new board and the existing standoffs. Secure the board
to 4 of the threaded standoffs (one in each corner of the
board) with the mounting screws provided.
6) Connect the input, output and power wiring per the
Auto-Zone Basic wiring diagram (See Figure 2 on page
17). Connect the keypad display connector of the existing EZ Zone enclosure cover to the new Auto-Zone Zone
Manager board and secure the existing enclosure cover
to the enclosure base with the existing screws.
7) Remove and replace each EPROM on all the existing EZ-Zone Zone Controllers. See Figures 16 & 17 on
pages 28 & 29 for detailed EPROM Replacement information.
Note: When ordering be sure to specify Fahrenheit or Celsius operation for your system
To Upgrade To The AZ Basic System Order the Following:
(1)(OE751) EZ Zone to Auto-Zone Basic Upgrade Kit
(Includes: Zone Manager Board w/ Mounting Screws, Plastic Standoff Kit for Zone Manager,
Return Air Sensor, Upgrade Label, Installation Instructions.

EZ Zone/Auto-Zone
Example #2:
Your project has multiple EZ Zone Master Panels and
their associated Zone Controllers. This upgrade will
convert this to an Auto-Zone Plus System.
To upgrade your existing EZ Zone System to the AutoZone Plus System the following procedures will be
required.
Warning: All removal and installation procedures
must be done with the power to the controllers
turned off. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to the controller boards.
1) All power and input/output wiring will need to be
disconnected from the existing Master Controller board.
Disconnect the keypad & display cable from the board
by unplugging its connector from the board and the display on the existing enclosure cover.
2) The new Return Air Sensor should be installed in
the return air stream in a location upstream of the point
that the bypass duct connects to the return duct.
3) Install the new Outdoor Air Sensor in a location on
the exterior of the building that provides shade and
protection from the weather. Only one OA sensor is
required for the entire system. See the mounting instructions included with the sensor for detailed mounting
instructions.
4) Connect the CommLink to the network communica-
tions loop and wire in 24VAC power (See Figure 13 on
