INTRODUCTION

The Carrier 3--Zone Control system brings the possibility of total
comfort control to the occupants by providing the right amount of
heating or cooling for up to 3 distinct spaces or zones within a
home or business. Each zone has independent temperature settings
controlled by a conventional thermostat or Wi--Fir based
thermostats and up to 5 dampers per zone.

The Quick Reference Guide will provide a simplified description
on installing the 3--Zone Control System. Please reference the
Installation and Start- Up Instructions included in the 3-- Zone
Controller packaging for the complete design and installation
information on the 3--Zone System.

COMPONENT LOCATION AND WIRING

CONSIDERATIONS

Locating Carrier 3--Zone System

All wiring is connected back to the Carrier 3 --Zone System. Select
a location near the furnace or fan coil where wiring from each
thermostat, each damper actuator, and the equipment itself can
come together easily.

The Carrier 3--Zone System is approved for indoor use only and
should never be installed with any of its components exposed to
the elements. It may be installed in any area where the temperature
remains between 32_ and 158_F, and there is no condensation. The
cover must be installed to prevent damage from other sources. Do
not locate where it will be accessible to children. Remember that
wiring access is likely the most important consideration.

!

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.

Turn off unit before routing control wiring or any service
operation. Remember, there may be more than one power
supply to unit.

!

CAUTION

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage.

To prevent possible damage to Carrier 3--Zone System, do
not mount control on plenum, duct work, or flush against
furnace.

WIRING CONSIDERATIONS

S All wiring in the Carrier 3--Zone system may be unshielded

S Ordinary thermostat wire is ideal

S Use 22 gage or larger for normal wiring

S Lengths over 100 ft should use 20 gage or larger wire

S Each damper actuator required 3 conductors

S The connection to thermostat and equipment (furnace or fan

coil) could require as many as 8 conductors for a multi--state

installation

S The Leaving Air Temperature (LAT) and Heat Pump

Temperature (HPT)-- (used with heat pumps only) sensors

require 2 conductors each

S Cables with excess conductors are acceptable

Step 1 — Mounting the Carrier 3--Zone System

The Carrier 3--Zone System can be mounted in either vertical or
horizontal position near the HV AC system inside the home. It is
designed so that wires can enter it from behind, above, or below.
Plan wire routing before mounting.

Fig. 2 -- Mounting the System

1. Remove the front cover from the base and use the base as a
template to mark drilling locations on the wall, stud , or roof
truss.

2. Mount using 4 screws (and wall anchors) provided. (See
Fig. 2.)

3. Level for appearance and tighten screws.

Step 2 — Install Thermostats in each desired Zone
Location

1. Install each thermostat according to the manufacturer’s in­structions in their designated Zone location.

2. Connect the thermostats wires to their respective Zone des­ignation on the right side of the the 3--Zone Panels. (See
Fig. 3).

Step 3 — Install Zone Dampers

Each damper has 3 connections: Close (CLS), Open (OPN), and
Common (COM). Find the connection points along the lower left

side of the 3--Zone Control. Suggested colors are CLS = RED;
OPN = GREEN, COM = WHITE. Field label and make the
connections at the dampers and at the 3 --Zone Control. Be careful
not to cross zone numbers.

If duct work required multiple dampers for a single zone, up to 5
dampers may be wired in parallel and may be installed in any
position.

Step 4 — Install Barometric Bypass Damper

The barometric bypass damper is a critical part of Carrier 3--Zone
System for controlling noise at minimum airflow. A barometric
bypass should be installed unless the duct work and indoor unit
have been sized for use without a bypass. When a direct bypass
(outlet air fed back directly into the return) is used, bypassing
decreases entering air temperature in cooling and increases it in
heating. Excessive bypassing will lead to limit trips, either through
the LAT/HPT sensor or the equipment internal limits.

Step 5 — Install Leaving Air Temperature (LAT)
Sensor / Heat Pump Temperature (HPT) Sensor
(optional)

The Leaving Air Temperature (LAT) sensor is used to detect a
cooling overload condition and is connected to the LAT and LATC
terminals. Polarity does not matter. Locate LAT sensor in main
supply trunk after heating and cooling coil and before bypass
damper and first branch. Cycling on internal equipment limits is to
be avoided because it over stresses and can shorten the life of the
equipment. The LAT limit setting should be selected to trip below
the equipment limit.

Fig. 7 -- Connecting the Power Supply

Step 7 — Wire the HVAC Equipment

The descriptions below and Table 1 will help you choose the
connect wiring diagram for your system. Table 1 also shows the
proper setting of dipswitches 9 and 10 for each diagram.

There are 8 dipswitch settings on the AC zone control and an
additional 4 dipswitch on the HP zone controls board. Table 1
summarizes their function and available settings.

Fig. 8 -- Dip Switches

Fig. 5 -- Leaving Air Temperature (LAT) Sensor / Heat Pump

Temperature (TPT) Sensor optional

The HPT sensor is used with ZONECC3ZHP01 to detect a cooling
overload condition and is connected to the HPT and HPTC
terminals. The HPT sensor will also be monitored in heating to
detect a heating overload condition at the coil with a shutdown
temperature of 115_F. It can be installed through the wall of the fan
coil or may be located entirely inside the fan coil near the blower
inlet being careful that it does not interfere with the blower wheel.
If the HPT sensor is not used, the 10K ohm resistor attached to the
2 HPT terminals on the board must be left in place.

NOTE: ZONECC3ZAC01 model
does not have HPT connector.

Fig. 6 -- Leaving Air Temperature (LAT) Sensor

Please refer to Limit Temperature Levels and Actions Table in
the Installation and Start--Up Instructions for additional
information on the response of the system to LAT/HPT sensors.

Step 6 — Connect the Power Supply

Optional: Use a dedicated 24 VAC, 40 VA, 60 Hz isolated
transformer (not included).

Otherwise, if the cooling and heating systems have separate
transformers, twist off the Rc/Rh jumper using a pair of long nosed
pliers. Then connect the R of the cooling transformer to Rc, the R
of the heating transformer to Rh and the common of both
transformers to C. Connect a jumper wire between Rz and Rc. Rc
powers G,Y, and O outputs. Rh power W outputs.
