Z-one™ Z1, Z2, Z3 Series
Function
The Z-one, a two-position spring return zone valve,
is used in heating and air-conditioning systems.
The Z-one series consist of a Z1 actuator which is
easily attached to a Z2 (2-way) or Z3 (3-way) valve
body. Z1 actuator is equipped with or without
auxiliary switch.
The Z-one actuator has a synchronous motor that
winds the return spring and moves the valve paddle
to the desired position. When power is removed the
actuator spring returns the valve paddle. 24V
actuators (except HCS) use sealed reed switch for
end switch, requiring no minimum current load.

Installation
The valve can be installed vertically or horizontally, but not turned upside down.
- A 3-way valve cannot be transformed into a 2-way valve and vice versa.
- The flow is from A to B (see diagram below) and must be installed so the paddle
closes against the direction of flow as indicated in the following diagrams.
- The 2-way valves can be ins talled on the
supply or on the return; for correct
installation it is necessary to respect the
direction of flow indicated from the arrow
on the body valve.

Manual Open (NC act only) Wiring Diagram
The manual opening is
achieved by moving the
manual opening lever to
the locked position. When
power is applied, the
manual lever unlocks
automatically.
Removing the Actuator
1 2
1. Move the manual open lever to the
lock open position.
2. Press the push button in and pull the
actuator up.
Installing the Actuator
1. Move the manual open lever to the
lock open position.
3. Verify the correct position of the valve
stem into the mating actuator hole.
Rotate stem if requi red to align.
4. Press the push button in and slide the
actuator onto the valve body, release
the push button.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION
This safety alert symbol will be used in this manual to draw attention to safety
related instructions. When used, the safety alert symbol means ATTENTION!
BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD.
CAUTION: All work must be performed by qualified personnel trained in
the proper application, installation, and maintenance of systems in
accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances.
CAUTION: Over-tightening and breakage can occur with the use of
Teflon pipe joint compounds. Teflon provides lubricity so that care must
be exercised not to over-tighten joints. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in property damage and /or personal injury.
WARNING: System fluids are under pressure or temperature can be
hazardous. Be sure the pressure has been reduced to zero and the
system temperature is below 100ºF (38ºC). Failure to follow these
instructions could result in property damage and/or personal injury.
CAUTION: Avoid locations with excessive moisture, explosive vapors,
corrosive fumes or vibration. Failure to follow these instruction s could resul t
in stress corrosion resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.
