Conventional Thermostats
Conventional (RWYG) thermostats can be used to control
conventional, multi-stage, and heat pump equipment. If the
thermostat has a common terminal, it is wired to C on the
panel, see Fig. 3. A multi-stage thermostat is wired with the
second and third stage of heat to W2 and W3 on the panel
thermostat connections, and with the second stage of cooling
to Y2. Leave the zone O/B thermostat jumper on the TZ-4
disconnected. See Single and Multi-Stage Operation in the
Operation section for instructions on staging the TZ-4.
The PC8900 with the W8900A or W8900C can be used as a
zone thermostat. See Fig. 4 for hookup. This thermostat can
be used to control up to 2 heat and 2 cool stages of
conventional equipment. When used to control heat pump
equipment, the W8900A is recommended.

After the installation is complete, verify correct operation:
1. Place the Em Heat switch in the Off (down) position.
2. Place the Zone-A-Lone switch in the Occup/Remote
(up) position.
3. Verify that DIP switches are set correctly. See
Sequence of Operation section and Table 8 for correct
configuration.
4. Power up the TZ-4 and set the thermostats so no zones
are calling. The board then enters the Purge mode
where all dampers open and the fan operates for two or
three and one-half minutes (configurable). (If there is no
Discharge Air Temperature Sensor connected to the
panel, the purge LED flashes in all modes other than
purge.) The damper LEDs are green to indicate the
dampers are open. Press Purge Override button on
panel to exit Purge mode.
5. Set zone one thermostat to heat and raise the setpoint
to call for heat. Verify that the heat LED is red and zone
one damper remains green while the other damper
LEDs turn off.
6. Raise zone two setpoint to call for heat. Lower zone one
setpoint to stop the call for heat to that zone. Verify that
zone one LED turns off and zone two LED turns green.
7. Repeat for zones three and four.
8. Alternately, lower the setpoint to call for cooling. Verify
that the green cool LED illuminates.
OPERATION
Identifying DIP Switches
This panel has two banks of DIP switches, DIP switch 4 (S4)
and DIP switch 5 (S5). Each bank has eight individual
switches that are identified by two numbers; the first number
is the bank number (4 or 5) and the second number identifies
the individual switch. For example, DIP 5-1 is bank 5,
switch 1.

1368-0259-1
Sequence of Operation
• When there is no call for heat, cool or fan, the board is in
idle mode, no system LEDs are illuminated and the green
damper LEDs indicate open.
• On a call for heat, cool, or fan, the calling zone damper
stays open, and other zone dampers close:
— TZ-4 panel energizes the HVAC equipment and condi-
tioned air is delivered to the calling zone.
— Heat LED (red), cool LED (green), or fan LED (green)
illuminates to indicate equipment operation.
— Fan LED illuminates only on a call for circulation; it
does not illuminate during a call for heat or cool.
— When the call is satisfied, the system enters the Purge
mode. After purge, all dampers return to the Open
position, depending on the setting of DIP switch S5-5.
• Any zone thermostat can call for heating or cooling. If there
are co-existing calls for heat and cool, the panel accepts
the first call.
• Once that call is satisfied, or a maximum of 20 minutes has
elapsed, the panel switches to allow the opposite call after
completing Purge mode.
TZ-4 TOTALZONE® ZONE CONTROL PANEL
Purge Mode
At the end of every call for heat or cool, the panel enters a
Purge mode that holds open the calling zone damper for two
(default) or three and one-half minutes.
During this time, the panel or the HVAC equipment can be
configured to operate the fan. The Purge LED lights to signal
that the system is in the Purge mode. Pressing the purge
override button overrides the Purge mode.
Unless there is a new call for heat or cool during the Purge
mode, all dampers are moved to the Open position at the end
of purge.
DIP Switch bank 4, switches 1-4, are used to configure the
staging method:
— Switches 1 and 2 configure second stage control. See
Table 4.
— Switches 3 and 4 configure third stage control. See Table.
5.
— When stage two or three is not used, disable that stage by
turning off the corresponding switches.

Individual Zone Fan Control
When all zones are satisfied, the fan switch of each
thermostat controls the fan operation for that zone.
— When the fan switch is in the On position, the fan is
energized, and dampers close to zones where fan switch is
in Auto position.
— During a call for heat or cool at this time, the circulation
mode ceases, and the heat or cool call is honored.
— When the zone calling is satisfied, the circulation call
resumes.

THERMOSTAT-CONTROLLED STAGES
Use a thermostat that energizes W2 and Y2 for second stage
of heat and cool, and W3 for third stage of heat. Configure for
thermostat as shown in Tables 4 and 5.
TIMER-CONTROLLED STAGES
— The Timer energizes second stage of heat or cool after the
first stage begins calling for the set amount of time.
— The third stage of heat is energized once the second stage
of heat is calling for the set amount of time.
— Second and third stages remain energized until the call for
heat or cool is satisfied.
See Table 6 for stage timer configuration of DIP switch bank 4,
switches 5, 6, and 7.
PERCENTAGE OF ZONES CALLING—CONTROLLED STAGES

Single and Multi-Stage Operation
The panel can control up to three stages of heating and two
stages of cooling:
— First stage is energized by the thermostat.
— Second stage of heating or cooling and third stage of
heating can be energized by the thermostat, timer, or the
percentage of zones calling. (For instance, first and second
stage of heat and cool can be thermostat energized and
third stage heat can be configured for timer energizing.)
— See Tables 5 and 6 for second and third stage
configuration. Note that second and third stage can be
controlled differently. Set stages not used to Off.

HEAT PUMP OPERATION
The panel can control single- or two-stage heat pumps with or
without auxiliary heat. Set DIP switch 5-1 to Off for heat pump
control. This energizes equipment terminal Y1 on a call for
first stage heat or cool. If second stage is configured to
operate with DIP switch 4-1 and 4-2, Y2 energizes to call for
second stage compressor. When in heat pump mode, the
panel energizes the fan with a call for heat and a call for cool.
Configure DIP switch 5-7 for correct changeover valve control.
See Table 7.
DUAL FUEL OPERATION
The panel can control a heat pump and a fossil fuel furnace in
a dual-fuel application. A C7089B1000 Outdoor Temperature
Sensor is wired to the OT and OT terminals on the TZ-4 to
switch the panel from heat pump to fossil fuel operation. DIP
switch 5-8 is set to Off to enable dual-fuel operation.

Thermostat Operation
Conventional Thermostats
Conventional (R,W,Y,G) heat/cool thermostats can be used
with the TZ-4 to control single or multi-stage gas, electric or oil
systems and heat pumps with auxiliary heat.
The panel can be configured to control second stage heat and
cool and third stage heat using a 5-60 minute timer, or staging
can be controlled by the percentage of zones calling.
When using conventional thermostats on heat pump
applications, set DIP switch 5-1 to Off for heat pump
equipment. Set DIP switch 5-7 for correct reversing valve
operation. See Table 7.
Heat Pump Thermostats
HEAT PUMP THERMOSTATS WITH SINGLE Y OUTPUT
Thermostats that have a single Y terminal for first stage heat
and cool and those with separate Y1 and W1 can be used.
Thermostats of either wiring type can be used on any zone.
For thermostats with a single Y, the reversing valve wire must
be connected to O/B:
— Connect the thermostat Y terminal to Y1 on the panel.
— If the thermostat energizes O on a call for cool, connect the
O/B jumper located near the thermostat wiring terminals.
— If the thermostat energizes B on a call for heat, leave the
O/B jumper disconnected.
HEAT PUMP THERMOSTATS WITH SEPARATE Y1 AND W1
TERMINALS
Heat pump thermostats with separate Y1 and W1 terminals for
first stage heat and cool are wired to Y1 and W1/E. Leave the
O/B jumper, located near the thermostat wiring terminals,
disconnected.
Multi-Stage Thermostats
Use multi-stage thermostats to control up to three stages of
heat and two stages cool with the W1/E,W2, W3/AUX, Y1,
and Y2 thermostat terminals.
Manual and Automatic Changeover Thermostats
Manual or automatic changeover thermostats can be used.
The panel determines the call for heat or cool based on which
was called for first. Subsequent calls for heat or cool are
honored when the initial call is satisfied, or 20 minutes has
elapsed.
Rebooting Microprocessor
To reset the panel, press and release the Boot button.The
system reboots and enters the Purge mode.
Discharge Air Temperature Sensor
The C7735A1000 Discharge Air Temperature Sensor (not
included) is a supply-duct-mounted temperature probe used
to control capacity and prevent high limit or coil-icing. The
sensor attaches to the two DATS terminals on the panel.
When a high or low limit is reached, the panel shuts off the
equipment and keeps the fan operating for 2-1/2 minutes.
After this time, it re-energizes the equipment after the
discharge air recovers by 10 degrees. When the DATS
exceeds the high or low limit, the Heat (red) or Cool (green)
LED flashes.
Set the temperature from 110°F to 160°F. See Fig. 23. The
recommended setting for fossil fuel/ electric systems is 160°F
(default factory setting). For heat pump systems, the
recommended setting is 120°F. When using a heat pump
with dual fuel activated (DIP 5-8), the high limit will automatically be set for 120 degrees when the outputs call for
compressor only operation. When the outputs call for nonheat pump operation, the high limit will be set to the adjustable
110° to160°F setting.
Emergency Heat Control
Emergency heat is defined as using an auxiliary heat source
without using the heat pump. When the Em Heat switch is in
the emergency heat position, the heat pump is locked out and
calls for heat are sent to the W1/E equipment terminal for
fixed stage emergency heat. Second stage emergency heat
energizes equipment terminals W3/Aux. Second stage
emergency heat is configured with DIP switch S41 and 2.
When the panel is in the heat pump mode, W1/E is energized
only in emergency heat.
A recommended heat pump thermostat can also control
emergency heat from the thermostat system switch. See
Table 1.

Zone-A-Lone Switch
When the Zone-A-Lone switch is in the occupied (up) position
and the OC/OC terminals are not used, the system functions
as a zone control system.
When switched to the unoccupied (down) position, all
dampers are opened and all requests for heat, cool, or fan,
except from zone one, are not honored.
The zone one thermostat becomes the controlling thermostat
for the entire system. During long unoccupied periods, one
thermostat can be set back instead of adjusting each zone
thermostat in the building.
The T8601D2027 and T8611G2051 include two OC terminals.
When wired to the TZ-4 OC terminals, and with the Zone-ALone switch in the occupied (up) position, the board enters the
unoccupied mode during the Leave and Sleep programs. This
feature requires two extra wires to the Zone 1 thermostat.
When the circuit breaker is tripped, none of the LEDs
illuminate and the yellow rectangular component located left
of the R and C terminals is hot to touch. Remove power to the
panel for at least five minutes to allow the circuit breaker to
cool off and reset. To eliminate the short, verify the dampers
and thermostat wiring.
Fan On In Heat
The system blower can be set to come on with a call for heat
as required for hydro-air or electric heat systems. Set the
blower function using DIP switch 5-6.
When DIP switch 5-1 is set to Off for heat pump control, the
panel brings the fan on with a call for heat and a call for cool.

TotalZone Add-A-Zone Panels
Using TotalZone Add-A-Zone Panels, the system can be
expanded to up to 32 zones using TAZ-4 Add-A-Zone panels.
Two wires connect the AZ1 and AZ2 terminals on the TZ-4 to
the matching terminals on the TAZ board(s).
Circuit Breaker Protection
A built-in thermal circuit breaker protects the TotalZone panel.
This circuit breaker protects the panel against shorts in the
thermostat and damper wiring. It does not protect against
shorts in the wiring of the HVAC equipment into the panel.
See Fig. 15 and the TAZ installation instructions for more
information.
