Warning

• Read all of the instructions before proceeding.

• Always turn off power to the heating/air conditioning system prior to installing or adjusting the

Premier 2-Zone Controller. Wire the entire panel before applying transformer power.

• This controller should only be installed and configured as described in this manual. Any other use is
not recommended and will void the warranty.

Mount the Premier 2-Zone Controller panel near the HVAC equipment (see Figure 2). The panel can be
mounted in any orientation on a wall, stud, roof truss, or the return-air plenum. For appearance, mount the
panel level.

Remove the panel cover and use the base as a template to drill mounting holes 4.5” apart (see Figure 3).
Attach the panel with appropriate screws (not included). Use mounting anchors as needed for drywall or
plaster installations.

Wiring the Panel

3

Always turn off power to the heating/air conditioning system prior to installing or
adjusting the Premier 2-Zone Controller. Wire the entire panel before applying
transformer power.

Use the following general wiring instructions for all systems. Specific wiring will vary depending on the
equipment and type of system (conventional or heat pump).

3.1 Damper Wiring

Install the system dampers using the instructions provided
by the manufacturer.

Connect the dampers to the zone panel as shown for
either a 2-wire or 3-wire damper.

The sum of all dampers powered by the zone panel
should not exceed 35 VA at 24 VAC. Use a slave relay if
additional damper power is required.

3.2 Thermostat Wiring

Install the system thermostats using the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.

Connect the thermostats to the zone panel as shown.

Notes:

• Wiring to the C terminal is required only for
thermostat power.

• E terminal at thermostat 1 controls emergency heat.
See E-Heat Switch Installation Sheet TSB-0708-01
for wiring details.

3.3 Transformer Wiring

Install the transformer using the instructions provided
by the manufacturer. Size the transformer to the damper
requirements. The zone panel has a built-in, self-resetting
fuse. The maximum damper power per panel is 35 VA at
24 VAC.

Connect the transformer to the zone panel as shown.

Note: Additional dampers or dampers with a higher current draw will require the use of a separate

slave relay.

3.4 Conventional System Wiring

Note: For a heat pump system, see Section 3.5.

Connect a conventional heating system to
the zone panel as shown.

For a single stage heating and cooling
system, the 2nd stage connections are
not used.

For a system using a dual transformer,

section, Figure 4). Make sure the neutrals
(common) are connected.

3.5 Heat Pump System Wiring

Connect a single or multi-stage
heat pump system to the zone panel
as shown.

A conventional thermostat may be used
with a heat pump system, however,
emergency heat will be controlled by
the panel emergency heat switch or the
optional remote emergency heat switch.

For a single-stage system, the auxiliary
heat control is not used. For a multi­stage system, the compressor controls
are not used.

• Use DIP switch 1 to select between conventional and heat pump system.

• Use DIP switch 3 for heat pump reversing valve control. Setting 0 means that the O/B terminal is

active in a cooling call. Setting B means that the O/B terminal is active in a heating call.

Use the following instructions to configure the Premier 2-Zone Controller.

1. Open J1 jumper for dual transformer installations.

2. Open J2 short cycle protection jumper for system test.

Note: Replace J2 when system testing is completed or leave J2 open if compressor has built in

short cycle protection.

After the wiring and configuration is complete, use the following checklist to verify the panel operation
is correct.

[ ] Make sure the Emergency Heat Switch is in the Off (right) position.
[ ] Open jumper J2 by moving cap from both pins to only one pin.
[ ] Use table and diagram in section 4 of this installer guide or inside the zone panel cover to

verify DIP switches are set properly.

The Premier 2-Zone Panel has LEDs to tell the installer and homeowner the current operating mode of the
panel. Refer to Figure 5 and the following descriptions of the panel LEDs for operation information.

Notes:

• When no zones are calling, the panel will command all dampers to open.

• For maximum energy conservation, a 90 second purge will occur at the end of each call. No calls will

be answered until the purge is complete.

• Equipment staging is automatic based on time.
