USER GUIDE
ZC Series Wall Controllers
Zone Controller Wiring
The Zone Controllers, (ZC-1, ZC-2, ZC-3, ZC-4, ZC-6, ZC-7, ZC-8, ZC-9 and ZC-Fire) can be wired serially
or in parallel. To wire in series, each Zone Controller must have an identification or zone number chosen
using the DIP switches on the side of the controller (see diagram A). Each controller must have a unique
number chosen — although there may be multiple Zone Controllers controlling a single zone, or a single Zone
Controller that controls multiple outputs. The Zone Controllers can then be wired together and connected to
the compatible device (e.g., DriveRack
The Zone Controllers may also be wired in parallel with the use of the ZC-BOB. To wire in parallel (home
run cabling), each controller must have a unique identification or number chosen using the DIP switches on
the rear of the panel (see diagram A). To wire in parallel, each controller must be wired into a port of the
ZC-BOB with a connecting wire going to the controlled device (see diagram C). Diagram D shows the typical
wiring for ZC-4 Euroblock connections in which the installer needs to use SPDT (single-pole, double-throw)
switches with one side being connected to 5 volts (+VREF) and the other side to ground (GND). Diagram E
shows the proper way to interface the ZC-Fire to the fire alarm system. Use only the relay/switch closure or
the 5-24V DC inputs. Do not use both inputs at the same time. For information regarding ZC setup, please
see the respective manual for the device that you are setting up.

Switches SW1-SW4 correspond to switch inputs 1-4 on the ZC-4’s
EuroBlock connector. Each switch connected to the ZC-4 must
be a Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT). One pole of each switch
should be connected to the ground reference on the ZC-4’s
EuroBlock connector while the other pole should be connected
to the +V reference. Because there are four switch inputs, there
are 16 possible switch combinations. In the chart above, a “0”

Zone Controller Maximum Cable Length
Note - The following cable lengths were achieved using Cat5 Enhanced cable exhibiting a maximum D.C.
resistance of 29 Ohms per 1,000 feet. When connecting Zone Controllers in series, the following cable length
restrictions apply:
• As shown in Diagram F, any (3) Zone Controllers may be wired in series as long as the total cable
length does not exceed 600 feet.
• Any (6) Zone Controllers may be wired in series as long as the total cable length does not exceed 300
feet. Refer to Diagram G.
• Cable runs of up to 1,000 feet may be achieved using “Home Run” wiring. An example of this is
shown in Diagram H. A dbx Zone Controller Break Out Box (dbx ZC-BOB) is used to parallel several
cable runs. It should be noted that a 1,000 foot cable with a single Zone Controller may be connected
directly to the controlled device.
Note - Daisy chaining Zone Controllers to a ZC-BOB (connecting them serially) is not supported or
recommended.
