• MABS EZ-2 controls two zones and MABS EZ-4 control
four zones. For systems requiring five or more zones,
the TotalZone series of control panels is used.
• Uses standard four-wire (R,W,Y,G) thermostats.
• Any zone thermostat changeover is based on first call.
• Bank of eight DIP switches provides easy system
configuration.
• Adjustable purge timing of two minutes or three and
one-half minutes.

ZoneMAX Sensor.
APPLICATION
The MABS EZ-2 and EZ-4 are microprocessor-based forced
air zone control panels that provide automatic or manual
changeover control of single- and two-stage heating and
cooling and heat pumps with or without auxiliary heat.
• Stage control allows built-in timer to control heating
and cooling stages.
• Use any four-wire thermostat.

STARTUP AND CHECKOUT
After the installation is complete, verify the operation:
1. Put the Em Heat switch in the off (down) position.
2. Be sure the DIP switches are set correctly. See
Sequence of Operation and Table 6 for correct configuration. The default position is in the off (down) position.
3. Power up the MABS EZ and set the thermostats so no
zones are calling. Verify that the board? enters the
Purge mode.
NOTE: During the two- or three and one-half- minute Purge,
the Purge LED should be amber. During this mode,
the dampers are open and the damper LEDs are
lighted green.

4. Set the zone one thermostat to heat and raise the setpoint to call for heat. The Heat LED is red and the zone
one damper remains green while the other damper
LEDs turn off.
5. Lower the setpoint in zone one and raise the setpoint in
zone two to call for heat. Verify that zone one LED turns
off (also zones three and four turn off when used on
MABS EZ-4) and zone two damper is green.
6. When using a MABS EZ-4, repeat for zones three and
four and verify correct operation.
7. Alternately, the setpoint can be lowered to call for cooling. Then the green cool LED lights.

MASTERTROL® AUTOMATIC BALANCING SYSTEM™ (MABS®) EZ ZONE (EZ-2 AND EZ-4) CONTROL PANELS
OPERATION
Sequence of Operation
On a call for heating or cooling, the zone damper to the calling
zone stays open, and the dampers close to the zones that are
not calling. The MABS EZ panel brings on the heating or
cooling and conditioned air is delivered to the calling zone
until the zone is satisfied. When the call is satisfied, the
system enters the Purge mode. This holds open the damper
of the last zone calling and purges into that zone. The Purge
time can be set to three and one-half or two minutes.
Individual Zone Fan Control
When all zones are satisfied, each zone thermostat Fan
switch controls the fan operation for each zone. When
circulation is desired, place the Fan switch in the On position.
The fan runs and closes the dampers to the zones where the
Fan switch is set to Auto.
Multi-Stage Operation
MABS-EZ can control up to two stages of heating and cooling
using singe-stage thermostats. The panel uses a timer to
control the second stage and is adjustable from five minutes
to 30 minutes using DIP switches 5, 6, and 7. See Table 4.
When a call for heating or cooling is not satisfied within the
time set on the stage time, the panel energizes the second
stage of heat or cool and both stages remain on until the call
is satisfied.

Changeover Operation
The MABS EZ panel uses a standard heating and cooling
thermostat for each zone to allow any zone to call for heating
or cooling. When opposite calls are made from different
zones, MABS EZ accepts the first call. Once the first call is
satisfied, or a maximum of 20 minutes elapses from the start
of an opposite call, MABS EZ allows the opposite call.
Automatic changeover thermostats can also be used to
provide automatic zone changeover.
When opposite calls occur, the panel ensures that both calls
are acknowledged. If the first call is not satisfied within 20
minutes, the panel drops the existing call and goes into the
Purge mode. After completion of the Purge, the panel
switches to the opposite mode until it is satisfied or until 20
minutes elapses.Then it goes back into the Purge mode and
back to the original call. The system continues to switch back
and forth until both calls are satisfied.
Purge Mode
At the end of every call for heat or cool, the panel enters a
Purge mode that holds the last zone damper open for three
and one-half or two minutes. During this time, the panel or
HVAC equipment can operate the fan. Purge is a time delay
that prevents short cycling of the heating and cooling
equipment after each call. The Purge LED lights when the
system is in Purge mode. Press Purge Override button when
the purge LED is lighted to override Purge.

The ZMS (not included) is a duct-mounted temperature probe
that monitors the supply of air temperature to control capacity
and prevent over-heating or coil icing. The sensor attaches to
the TL terminals at the upper left corner of the panel. See Fig.
9.
IMPORTANT
The ZMS wires must be at least 12 in. away from line
voltage wiring to ensure correct operation. When not
possible, shielded cable must be used.
ZoneMAX Sensor Configuration
DIP switches 2 and 3 set the ZoneMAX Sensor temperature
limit. See Table 7. The recommended setting for fossil fuel/
heat pump systems is 160°F (71°C). For heat pump systems,
the recommended setting is 120°F (49°). The cooling
temperature limit can be set to 40°F (4°C) or 48°F (9°C).

Re-Booting the Microprocessor
When conditions hang up the microprocessor, press and
release the Boot button to re-boot the system and enter the
Purge mode.
OPERATION
If the system trips due to exceeding a high or low temperature,
the heating or cooling system shuts down and the fan
continues running to dissipate the conditioned air from the
plenum. If the low limit was tripped, the cool LED flashes
continuously until it resets. If the high limit was tripped, the
Heat LED flashes continuously until it resets.
The ZoneMAX Sensor resets and allows normal system
operation when the supply air temperature rises ten degrees
in cooling mode, or falls ten degrees in heating mode. The ten
degrees provide adequate time to prevent short cycling of the
unit.
Circuit Breaker Protection
A built-in thermal circuit breaker protects the panel against
shorts in the thermostat and damper wiring and the remote
occupied/unoccupied switch. It does not protect against shorts
in the HVAC equipment wiring into the panel.
OPERATION
None of the LEDs light when the circuit breaker tripped. The
fuse is a yellow square or rectangular disk located right of the
TR1 and TR2 terminals. If it is hot to touch, remove panel
power for ten seconds to allow the circuit breaker to cool off
and reset.

MASTERTROL® AUTOMATIC BALANCING SYSTEM™ (MABS®) EZ ZONE (EZ-2 AND EZ-4) CONTROL PANELS
Thermostats
The panel can use almost any four-wire (R,W,Y,G) thermostat.
Each zone requires its own switching subbase with either
manual or automatic changeover. See Table 1 for
recommended thermostats.
HEAT PUMP OR MULTI-STAGE THERMOSTATS
Heat pump or multi-stage thermostats are not required for the
MABS EZ panels because a timer in the panel brings on the
second stage. A heat pump thermostat is used only when
emergency heat control from the thermostat is desired. Use
only Table 1 recommended heat pump thermostats.
EMERGENCY HEAT MODE
An emergency heat switch is located on the side of the panel
and can be accessed without removing the cover. A heat
pump thermostat is used only when emergency heat control is
desired from the thermostat instead of from the panel.
Energizing the L terminal on the zone thermostat or switching
the Emergency Heat switch to the On position places the
system in Emergency Heat mode. This switch does not initiate
a call for emergency heat and prevents the first stage (heat
pump) from being used on a call for heat.
Fan On In Heat
The system fan can be set to come on with a heat call, as
required, with a hydro-air, heat pump, or electric heat system.
Set DIP switch 8 to the On position to activate this mode.
Otherwise, leave it in the default Off position.
Second Stage Emergency Heat Jumper
A jumper is installed on the jumper block to energize W2
output during a call for emergency heat. If there are two forms
of auxiliary heat, one can be connected to W2 as the second
stage of heat and the other to E as the emergency heat stage.
