The Lennox Harmony IIIt Zone Control System manages
the distribution of conditioned air to specific areas or zones
in a house or small commercial building by directing heated
or cooled air to occupied areas without conditioning unused areas. This improves economy while providing a balanced and comfortable environment. The system can be
used in the following Lennox HVAC system applications:
Option 1.Variable speed gas furnace used with a 2-stage
condensing unit.*
Option 2.Variable speed air handler unit (with or without
electric heat) used with a 2-stage condensing
unit or heat pump.*
Option 3.Variable speed gas furnace used with a 2-stage
heat pump.*
*A 1 stage condensing unit (heat pump) may be used under specific
circumstances as listed in Table 3 (see Page 5).
Variations on the options described above and included in
this document are: cooling−only, hot water coil, and cooling
system with electric heat applications.
The Harmony IIIt zone control system uses off−the−shelf,
single-stage, non-heat pump, non−power-robbing electronic thermostats and motorized dampers in any of the applications to control distribution of conditioned air to different zones. This control allows conditioning of different
zones within a residence while using a single HVAC system.
The zone control system operates in two modes: centralcontrol (vacation mode) or zone control. LEDs on the
zone control panel indicate the current operating mode.
When the system is in the central control mode, a de-
mand from the central control thermostat results in conditioned air being directed to all of the zones. In this mode,
zone 1 thermostat is designated as the controlling thermostat; other thermostats are not used.
When the system is in the zone control mode, a zone is
conditioned only upon demand from that zone’s thermostat.
The zone control system is ideal for retrofit applications as
well as new construction. The system controls the air volume, eliminating the need for bypass dampers in most applications. The homeowner controls the system using
zone thermostats to make comfort settings for each zone.
A programmable thermostat should be used to provide a
specialized heating and cooling sequence. While the system is in the zone mode, a programmable thermostat controls the temperature for its particular zone.
Optional Dehumidification Accessories
The Harmony IIIt zone control system may be used in conjunction with a Humiditrol® Enhanced Dehumidification Accessory (EDA) and which also requires a Humiditrol® Zoning Accessory (HZA). This document reflects the control
which is outfitted for connection to, and control of, the EDA
in a zone control system using the HZA. See HumiditrolZoning AccessoryInstallation Instructions for more information.

IMPORTANT
Use only Electronic thermostats. Mechanical or

the Harmony IIIt zone control system.
For all zones, use thermostats that are of this type:
Selectronic thermostat
Ssingle-stage
Snon-heat pump
Snon-power robbing
Sautochangeover or non−autochangeover
SLennox recommends that zone 1 thermostat (central [vaca-
tion] mode controller) be programmable.
SEach thermostat must have a deadband between HEAT and
COOL.
Recommended thermostats include:
SComfortSenset 7000 model L7742U Touch Screen Ther-
mostat. (IMPORTANT! When using this thermostat, onlyPrecision Mode dehumidification can be used wherein 2°F
of over-cooling is allowed. Also, it cannot reduce the blower
speed because the zone control DS signal controls the blower. Thermostat D terminal is not used.
SComfortSenset 5000 model L5711U Touch Screen Ther-
mostat − 1 heat / 1 cool / 7−day programmable.
Transformer
The dampers, zone control panel, zone thermostats and
Humiditrol® Zoning Accessory (if EDA is used) are powered by a single, field−provided 24VAC transformer. Together, the zone control panel and thermostats require
10VA; dampers require 10VA each. The transformer must
have an adequate VA rating to serve all components (see
recommendations in table 1).
IMPORTANT
Up to 5 dampers per zone may be connected in parallel to the zone control panel not to exceed a total
of six dampers for entire system.
Also, if more than 6 dampers are used, another
transformer and isolation relay will be necessary.

GENERAL
Installation Considerations
The total HVAC system must be properly sized to provide
the best comfort. Also, for best performance, zones should
be similar in size so that each zone would require about the
same CFM. Each zone’s ducting lengths should be similar
in length whenever possible. Always attempt to keep CFM
requirements per zone within 25% of the average CFM
(see table 2).
If a small" zone cannot be avoided, give consideration to
increasing the CFM of the small zone and linking a damper
in a nearby zone that will open along with the small zone’s
damper(s). The procedure for zone linking is described on
Page 7.
Indoor units with variable speed blower motors (VSM) are
required to allow the zone control system to distribute adequate air to each zone. Use only units recommended inthe following 3 options as only those will work with the
Harmony IIIt zone control system; other types of units will
not allow the Harmony IIIt zone control system to propor-
tion the amount of air going to each zone.
Selecting/Installing Indoor and Outdoor Units
Outdoor units may be single or two−stage; use table 3 to
determine which to use, based on the number of zones being implemented, and whether the air conditioned zones
are of equal or unequal size.
Option 1
Lennox Gas Furnace with VSM only (G60UHV, G61MPV,
S
G71MPP, SLP98, SL280V, E296V).
SLennox Condensing Unitas described in table 3.
Option 2
Lennox Air Handler Unit with VSM only (CBX32MV,
S
CBX40UHV, CB31MV, CBWMV).
SLennox Heat Pump Unitas described in table 3.
Option 3

GENERAL
Installing Zone Control Components
When possible, position the sensor some distance away from the coil rather than in the immediate coil area. The Discharge Air Temperature
Sensor should be located at least 10 inches
above the coil.
Fasten the sensor bracket to the plenum
with two self- tapping sheet metal screws.
Connect wires to DAS on zone
control panel, NOT on the AHC or
IFC (see figures 17 through 26).
Be sure that the tip of the sensor is located
approximately 10 inches from the indoor coil in
the discharge plenum, and 1/2 the depth of the
plenum, and centered over the discharge airflow,
side-to-side.

IMPORTANT
The electrical power source for the zone control system, i.e. the transformer primary, and furnace or air
handler unit must be the same source. In addition,
the zone control system power−up must occur at the
same time or before the furnace or air handler unit
is powered up.
Select an installation site for the Harmony IIIt control con-
sidering the following location parameters:
SIs conveniently accessible and centrally located to facilitate
wiring from thermostats, dampers, pressure switch (if used),
and HVAC equipment.
SIs in a non−condensing area (such as a closet).
SIs NOT in a laundry room (nor other room in the house where
the humidity would typically be much higher than the rest of
the house).
SIs NOT in any part of the building where the temperature may
exceed 150_F.

(distance from heat strips, coil, and position in plenum)
also apply to other applications.

Thermostats
Identify the best location for a thermostat in each zone. If
two or more rooms are within a single zone, place the thermostat in a location that is central to all rooms. For example, if a zone contains two bedrooms, try to place the thermostat in a hallway near both bedrooms.
Do not install thermostats in drafty areas, behind doors, in
corners, near radiant heat sources (appliances), near
sunny windows, near concealed pipes and chimneys, nor
in unconditioned spaces such as closets or exterior walls.
Transformer
Obtain an appropriately−rated transformer (see table 1,
Page 4). Install the transformer in either the indoor unit or
in an electrical junction box near the zone control panel.
Dampers
NOTE − The power source for the transformer must be the
same power source as the indoor unit’s transformer.
Motorized dampers in the supply duct system regulate air
to the zones. Some applications will be unique and require
more than one damper per zone. If additional dampers are
required, refer to the the wiring diagram in the Common
System Component Wiring section (page 12). Also, if more
than 6 dampers are used, another transformer and isolation relay will be necessary.
For more effective zone isolation, the return duct system
may also be dampered by zone. Dampers for each zone
must be wired in parallel. Install dampers in the desired
locations; then run thermostat wire from the damper to the
zone control panel and damper relays as needed.
Zone LinkingZone link a small zone to a large zone by
wiring dampers in a manner similar to figure 4. Effectively,
this distributes some of the small zone’s air to another
zone to reduce the chance of overheating or overcooling

the smaller zone. Table 2 (Page 5) shows an example of
an unequal zone and how to adjust to bring it within 25% of

How PIAB Jumpers affect blower operation
A variable−speed motor will operate at its minimum speed
or at any increment faster up to its maximum speed. The
Percentage Into Adjustment Band (PIAB) jumpers control
the speed variance of the motor.
When the zone control’s PIAB jumpers are set to 0%, the
blower operates at the minimum air volume produced by
the air handler and when set to 100%, the blower operates
at maximum air volume produced by the air handler (see
your air handler installation instructions for specific CFMs).
For example: if an air handler has a minimum air volume of 800 CFM,
and a maximum of 1500 CFM, and the jumper is set to 0%, the air
delivered to the zone will be 800 CFM. Similarly, if the jumper is set to
100%, the air delivered to the zone is 1500 CFM. By placing a jumper
in the 50% position, you will direct airflow midway between the blower’s minimum and maximum CFM capacities.

Figure 6. VSM Adjustment Band Example
By installing jumpers at different % on each PIAB bank,
you can direct different amounts of air volume to each
zone. You must jumper a % on zone 1 and at least one other zone, and you must jumper OFF on unused zones as
shown in figure 7.
Zone 1 PIAB Jumpers – 140ºF DAS
Zone 1 PIAB terminal strip has an additional jumper setting
(labeled 140F DAS) that may be used for added operational flexibility (see figure 8). When the supplied jumper is in
place across both pins, the discharge air sensor (DAS) upper limit will be 140°F instead of 160°F (default) to provide
added operational flexibility.

Zone Control Panel Jumpers (Determining PIAB Jumper Settings)
GENERAL
Determining PIAB Jumper Settings
Table 5. Determine PIAB jumper setting
example CFM values
NOTE − Use the PIAB Calculation Worksheet on Page 60
(also see example below) to help calculate the zone control system PIAB settings.
1. From a cooling load analysis, determine what CFM is
required for each zone. Also, from the air handler, determine its minimum and maximum CFM ratings.
2. Using the PIAB formula, found in Table 5 and reflected in the worksheet below, calculate the Percent
Into Adjustment Band (PIAB) using the values from
step 1 for each zone. Table 5 also gives example CFMvalues to illustrates how to determine the correct
jumper for the PIAB for Zone 1 using those values.
3. Set the air selection jumper for the zone using the percent air determined in step 2. If the percent air falls between available jumper settings, select the nearest
unit of ten.
4. For each zone, repeat steps 1 through 3.
Note − See page 8 for information on 140F DAS (discharge air sensor) jumper used on Zone 1 PIAB.
PIAB calculations should provide a good starting point for
setting jumpers. It may also be beneficial to set jumpers at
a higher percentage of airflow such that the sound of air
rushing is objectionable, and then reduce it incrementally
by 10% until: 1) the sound of air rushing is not objectionable, and 2) ample, but not excessive, air volume is being
provided to adequately heat or cool the zone.
During continuous fan mode without either a heating or
cooling demand, the blower runs at the total percentage of
the CFM jumper settings of the zones calling for continuous fan (not to exceed 100% of blower capacity). A continuous air reduction jumper allows the blower speed to be reduced by a percentage during continuous fan mode.
The selections are 75%, 50%, 25% and 0%. At the factory,
the jumper is set on 0%. Set the jumper to the position
equal to the amount of continuous air reduction desired.
See figure 9.
NOTE − If the calculations using a reduction percentage
indicated a resulting CFM lower than the blower’s minimum CFM rating, the blower will deliver its minimum CFM
(see figure 6 on Page 8).
Heating Air Reduction Jumpers
NOTE − For heat pump applications, ALWAYS set the
jumper on 0%. High head pressures may result if air is re-
duced during heating mode.
NOTE − For use in warm−climate areas where units have
high cooling capacity with low heat capacity, ALWAYS set
the jumper on 0%.
The heating air reduction jumper enables the blower
speed, during heating only, to run at a reduced rate
compared to the cooling blower speed.
The selections are 40%, 20% and 0%. Jumpers are set to
0% from the factory. Set the jumper to the position equal to
the amount of heating air reduction desired. See figure 9.

GENERAL
Zone Control Panel Jumpers (Heat/Cool Staging)
Heating/Cooling staging jumpers prevent any rapid staging of the equipment. This section shows the recommended settings for heating/cooling staging temperat ures
and explains the temperature differentials for different
equipment configurations. In the diagrams, sine waves indicate which stage operates during the rise and fall of discharge air temperature for the different heating/cooling
staging jumpers. Recommended jumper settings are
shown in bold type.
Heating Staging Temperature Jumper
Heating Staging temperature jumpers are used to set the
temperature at which the 2nd−stage heating equipment
comes ON. Its selections range from 85 − 130 (°F). The setting has a built-in differential of 20°F (except as described
when 140DAS jumper is used).
During operation, when the discharge air temperature falls
below the jumper setpoint, 2nd-stage heating begins. If the
discharge air temperature reaches the differential temperature, 2nd-stage operation ceases and 1st-stage heating
resumes until the temperature again falls below the jumper
set point.
NOTE − For G71MPP and SLP98 furnaces only, the furnace ignition control will automatically adjust firing rate
without a 2nd stage heat demand to match the blower airflow (CFM) requested by the Harmony IIIt zoning system.
See Operation with G71MPP and SLP98" on page 26 for
additional information.
Heat Pump (range: 85 − 110°F, recommended: 90). The
maximum discharge air temperature at which the heat
pump/electric heat is allowed to run is fixed at 135°F.

Gas Furnace with 160°F upper limit (range: 100 − 130;
recommended: 120). The maximum discharge air temper-
ature at which the furnace may run is fixed at 160°F.
Cooling Staging Temperature Jumper
Cooling Staging temperature jumpers are used to set the
discharge air temperature at which 2nd−stage cooling
comes on. It is selectable between 50°, 55° and 60°F. A 7
degree total differential is associated with this staging temperature, beginning at the jumper setpoint, and extending
to 7 degrees above the setpoint.
For any jumper setting, if the discharge air should fall to
45°F and any zone still demands cooling, the compressor
will not run leaving only the blower to operate until the discharge air once again rises to 50°F and the 5 minute compressor OFF delay has been satisfied. For this reason, and
to better satisfy latent loads, the jumper recommended
setting is 50.

HARMONY IIIT ZONE CONTROL SYSTEM
GENERAL
Common System Component Wiring
Use thermostat wire to connect dampers, damper transformers, and the DAS probe with the zone control system.
IMPORTANT
Avoid running any control wiring close to AC house
wiring. If this cannot be avoided, limit close parallel
of power and control wiring to a few feet.
Dampers and Damper Transformer Wiring
Connect dampers to the zone control panel as shown in
figure 10. A total of six dampers may be connected at the
NOTE − The extended damper
transformer rating should be sized to
adequately handle zone dampers
(1−4) plus relays (K1−K4) not to
exceed class II wiring limit of 75 VA.
Combined load of zone dampers and
zone relays not to exceed 60VA.
Use Lennox Part 56L68 for Zone
Relays 1 through 4.

damper output terminals on the zone control panel. If additional dampers are used, additional transformers and relays will be needed.
Fuse F1 will protect the damper outputs from a short circuit
or overload in the damper wiring.
If dampers are applied to the return duct system, the
dampers for each zone must be wired in parallel. Connect
damper transformer to zone control panel terminal block.
Refer to the Extended Damper Wiring section in figure 10
for wiring connections.

CHECK VOLTAGE BEFORE CONNECTING ZONE CONTROL TRANSFORMER (ZONE CTRL XFMR) LEADS TO THE ZONE CONTROL
PANEL CONNECTIONS
IF 0 VOLTS (AS SHOWN IN A")
THEN POLARITY IS CORRECT
IF METER READS 48 VOLTS (AS SHOWN IN B") THEN POLARITY IS RE-
VERSED; SWAP LEADS (AS SHOWN IN C") AND CONFIRM 0 VOLTS
Figure 11. Confirming Transformer Phasing (polarity) is Correct
Zone Control Transformer Phasing
Using two transformers on a single systemWhen the
Harmony IIIt zone control panel is connected to a system
that has its own transformer, the phasing (or polarity) of the
air handler transformer to the zone control’s add−on transformer is extremely IMPORTANT because the zone control transformer powers the DS" circuit within the zone
control and then connects to the air handler DS" circuit.
The only two transformers that need correct phasing with
their commons connected are the zone control and air handler transformers. Check the phasing prior to connecting
the zone control transformer zone control panel’s connections. The zone control transformer primary should be the
same source as the air handler to keep it uncomplicated.
Use a 230 volt primary transformer with air handlers
(CBX32MV / CB31MV / CBX40UHV) and use a 115 volt
transformer with furnaces (G61MPV / G71MPP / SLP98 /
SL280V / EL296V) and with CBWMV.
1. Connect the zone control transformer primary to the air handler voltage source (see figure 11).
2. Do not connect the zone control transformer secondary to
the zone control panel at this time.
3. Connect air handler secondary common to the assumed
zone control transformer common.
4. Measure voltage between air handler R" and unconnected
zone control transformer secondary lead (see figure 11):
D if 0 volts (A, figure 11) then polarity is correct; connect the
leads to zone control C and R as shown.
D if 48 volts (B, figure 11) then polarity is reversed; swap
leads as shown and confirm 0 volts (C, figure 11); connect the leads to zone control C and R as shown.
5. With the correct polarity determined, connect C wire to zone
control 24VAC C terminal and R wire to R terminal.
Thermostat Wiring
Using standard electronic 1-heat /1-cool non-heat pump,
non-power robbing thermostats, and five−wire thermostat
cable, wire units as follows:
1. Wire each thermostat to terminals Y, W, G, R, and C.
2. Run cable from each of the thermostats to the zone control
panel. Mark each cable according to the zone thermostat
from where it originates.
3. Strip the cables and attach each of the 5 wires to the zone
control panel (see figures 17 [Page 24], 15 [Page 17], 26
[Page 43]).
Gas Furnace Wiring
IMPORTANT
The common C" terminal of the Harmony IIIt zone
control panel MUST be connected to the common
terminal of the integrated control, or if using a air
handler, MUST be connected to the common terminal of the air handler terminal strip.
If not connected, blower may operate only at the
minimum CFM or will not ramp to zone air volume.
After the furnace is installed, field wire the unit as described in the installation instructions provided with the furnace. Use thermostat wire to connect the furnace and the
zone control panel and to connect the zone control panel
24V C" to the integrated control terminal strip C" (see wiring diagram in figure 17).
Condensing Unit Wiring
After the condensing unit is installed, field wire the unit as
shown in the installation instructions provided with the unit.
Use thermostat wire to connect the condensing unit to the
zone control panel (see figure 17).

Equipment Installation
Follow all equipment installation instructions provided with
each unit.
Pressure Switch
A pressure switch (HFC−22 [27W12]; HFC−410A [27W13])
is required for applications with a Lennox heat pump (Options 2 and 3). This switch acts as a guard in case of high
head pressures during 1st− and 2nd−stage heating. The
switch’s cut out and cut in points are shown in table 7.
Table 7. Cut−out and Cut−in (Reset) Points
RefrigerantCut−OutCut−in (Reset)
HCFC−22375 psig (2551 kPa)275 psig (1862 kPa)
HFC−410A550 psig (3965 kPa)425 psig (3102 kPa)
NOTE − If a pressure switch is factory installed in the unit,
do not remove the switch or switch wires.
The switch may also be fastened directly to the vapor valve
service port which becomes the discharge line in heat
pump heating mode (see figure 12).
Pressure Switch Wiring
Pull a two−wire thermostat cable from the field-installed
pressure switch to the zone control panel and connect at
the pressure switch, and at the zone control panel as
shown in the connection location diagram (see figure 15).
Tee (High Pressure Switch; Heat Pumps only)
A tee (Lennox #87071) is needed to install the pressure
switch along with a valve core (Schrader) for checking
pressure in the vapor line during heat pump heating mode
(see figure 12).
The switch may also be fastened directly to the vapor valve
service port which becomes the discharge line in heat
pump mode.

Balance Point Sensor (Outdoor Thermostat)
A balance point sensor (kit 56A87, figure 13) may be implemented in a dual-fuel (Option 3) system. This thermostat
monitors the outdoor temperature, compares it to the balance point setting, and signals the zone control if the reading is below the set point. The zone control then instructs
the gas furnace to provide all the heating and prohibits the
heat pump from attempting to fill a demand for heat.
Figure 13. Balance Point Sensor (56A87)
Defrost Tempering Kit
A defrost tempering kit (67M41) may be implemented in a
dual-fuel (Option 3) system. This kit consists of a thermostat probe/switch which is installed between the furnace
and the evaporator coil to turn the furnace on (at 80F) and
off (at 90F) during a defrost cycle. This tempers the discharge air and protects the compressor from high refrigeration pressures during defrost. Figure 14 shows the kit;
see figure 3 (Page 6) for location of the probe.
