TrueZONE ARD, EARD, and ZD
Series Dampers
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION
ARD Series Damper
The ARD is a round damper with a 24 Vac, spring-Open
return damper motor used to control circulating air in
heating, cooling, and ventilating systems.
EARD Series Damper
The EARD is a round damper with a 24 Vac poweredopen/spring-closed motor. It is used for fresh air intake for
Ventilation or for combustion makeup air.
ZD Series Damper
The ZD is a power close and spring open damper. It has a
24-volt motor used to control circulating air in HVAC
systems and used when a normally-open damper is
required. The ZD is typically used with the TrueZONE and
other electronic zoning systems.

RANGE STOP
LOCATIONS
Installing the Round (ARD and EARD) Dampers
1. Insert the crimped end of the ARD or EARD into the
uncrimped end of the rigid round duct and secure
with sheet metal screws (not provided). When using
flexible duct, slip the duct over the end of the ARD or
EARD and secure it with duct straps (not provided).
2. When installing the damper in a horizontal
application, make sure the motor actuator is located
on the side or top of the damper. Do not locate the
motor on the bottom of the damper. The damper can
be mounted in a vertical duct.
3. Adjust Range stop position to desired closed
positions. ARD and ZD Dampers are completely
closed in position 0. EARD Dampers are completely
open in position 0.
Planning the Installation
Selecting a Location
Select a location for the zone dampers that is at least three
feet from the HVAC unit plenum in the air duct takeoff to
the respective zone and is easily accessible for checkout
and maintenance.
The ZD comes complete and ready for installation. The
motor and linkage are factory-assembled to the damper.
The damper is assembled for installation and wiring to the
control panel.
Selecting Damper Size
To ensure correct operation, be sure to select the correct
zone damper size for the air duct:
IMPORTANT
Be aware that ZD damper sizes are built 5/32 in.
smaller than the listed dimensional sizes.
• If the damper is forced into an undersized air duct, the
excess pressure can jam the damper blades and cause
improper operation.
• When a small percentage of continuous flow is desired
in a zone, even when the damper blades are closed,
adjust motor closed position to be slightly open to
maintain desired air flow.
Fig. 2. TrueZONE Actuator range stop positions.
Wiring Multiple Dampers
When the same zone controls two or more dampers, wire
the dampers in parallel to terminals M1 and M6 on the
zone control panel.
INSTALLATION OF ZD DAMPER
When Installing this Product…
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
these instructions can damage the product or cause
a hazardous condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on
the product to make sure the product is suitable for
your application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. All wiring must comply with local electrical codes,
ordinances, and regulations.
5. After completing installation, use these instructions
to check out the product operation.
Selecting Location with Humidifier
Installed
IMPORTANT
Excessive lime or mineral deposits can
accumulate on damper blades and cause
improper operation when spray or atomizing type
humidifiers are installed in the furnace plenum or
air supply duct with the zone dampers.
• Spray or atomizer type humidifiers that are installed in
the furnace plenum or air supply duct are not
recommended.
• Evaporative type humidifiers are recommended.
Installing the Damper
IMPORTANT
— Install dampers into a squared air duct.
— Do not weld dampers to the air ducts.
— Do not force dampers into undersized air ducts.
Excess pressure can damage damper blades.
— Be sure high limit setting is less than 200 °F
(93 °C).
— Higher settings can damage the electric actuator.
1. Be sure the ZD is correctly sized to the air duct (see
Selecting Damper Size section).
2. Select a ZD location that is three feet from the
furnace plenum.
3. Cut a 4-in. (102 mm) opening in the accessible side
of the air duct at the location selected; ensure the
opening of the air duct is cut fully from seam to
seam.
4. Secure the ZD mounting plate to the air duct with the
self-tapping sheet metal screws provided.

WIRING
Personal Electrical Shock Hazard. Can cause
electrical shock or equipment damage.
Disconnect power before beginning installation.
The damper motor has a 24 Vac, 50/60 cycle, 8 VA rating.
The spring-return ARD and ZD damper requires 24 Vac to
M1 and M6 to power the damper closed. The damper then
returns to its normal open position once power is removed.
EARD damper requires 24 Vac to the two vent terminals to
power the damper open. The damper then returns to its
normal closed position once power is removed.
NOTE: Multiple dampers can be wired in parallel.

Wiring a Motor
See Fig. 6 for motor wiring hookups for ARD and ZD
Dampers.
Changing Motor on ARD, EARD and ZD Dampers
1. Disconnect the motor wiring.
2. Loosen the socket head cap set screw located
between the faceplate and the motor coupling.
3. Remove the motor.
4. For ARD and ZD models: Ensure damper blade is in
the open position.
For EARD models: Ensure damper blade is in the
closed position.
5. Attach new motor to the coupling; be sure the
standoff on motor is positioned in the grommet on
the faceplate and the set screw is aligned with the
motor shaft hole.
6. Tighten the set screw.

CHECKOUT
To check out the ARD or ZD:
1. With 24 Vac applied to M1 and M6, observe the
motor powering the damper to the closed position.
2. With power removed, observe the damper returning
to the normally-open position.
NOTE: To remove power, disconnect one wire from
the motor.
3. If the motor does not operate smoothly and without
hesitation throughout the complete opening and
closing stroke, examine the damper and the shaft for
free rotation within the duct.
To check out the EARD:
1. With 24 Vac applied to the motor, observe the
indicator window shows the damper opening.
2. When energized, verify that the actuator connection
coupling rotates in a clockwise direction (as viewed
from the operator base end) and that the damper
shaft turns with the coupling.
3. With power removed, observe the damper returning
to the normally-closed position.
NOTE: To remove power, disconnect one wire from
the motor.
4. If the motor does not operate smoothly and without
hesitation throughout the complete opening and
closing stroke, examine the damper and the shaft for
free rotation within the duct.
Wiring ARD or ZD Damper
Personal Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
Disconnect power before beginning installation.
The ARD and ZD has a 24 Vac, 50/60 cycle, .32A motor.
The ARD and ZD is wired to terminals M1 and M6 for
power closed/spring return open, with an option for M4
wire to power LED light only. The ARD and ZD is a spring
return damper that requires 24V to M1 and M6 to power
the damper closed. When power is removed from the
motor, the damper springs back to its normally-open
position.
