PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before installing any zoning system forethought and planning should take place to identify which type of HVAC equipment the Z8 will be controlling, how many stages the equipment has, how many zones are going to be conditioned, and what the square footage of each zone is for the size of the HVAC equipment. Because the Z8 uses wireless communication, plan installation locations appropriately for each Pelican device. Contact Pelican Support at 888.512.0490 for further assistance.
GENERAL
The Pelican zone control solution uses strategic logic and built-in learning algorithms to properly condition spaces or areas of diverse load. The zone controller uses sensors and software to monitor temperatures and duct pressure to intelligently navigate complex building environments. The zone controller is a pressure dependent device that maintains space temperature by modulating the amount of supply airflow brought into different spaces. To aid in decision making, space or zone temperatures and total building load is continuously monitored and wirelessly communicated to the zone controller from Pelican thermostats installed through-out the building. During times when zones are being conditioned, rate of temperature change relative to set point is monitored and logic is dynamically adjusted. This data allows the zone controller to satisfy the temperature and ventilation requirements for each zone in a timely and energy efficient manner.

Installation
LOCATION AND MOUNTING
Location
Choose a location for the Z8 that is not exposed to weather, and where controls and connections are accessible. The Wireless Module can be removed from the Z8 and is waterproof if installed onto a plastic electrical box with the provided gasket placed in-between (Reference Page 13). Gasket is required to create a water tight seal between Wireless Module and plastic electrical box (Reference Page 14).
CAUTION
1. Disconnect power supply before connecting any wiring to device to prevent electrical shock or damage to equipment.
2. This guide is designed for certified, trained, and experienced service technicians. Failure to follow installation instructions does not alleviate installer responsibility to protect the equipment and property device is being connected too. If at anytime there becomes concern or confusion about how to install or use this device, immediately stop what you are doing and either contact Pelican Wireless Systems or a Pelican Wireless System’s distributor.
WARNING
1. This equipment is designed to communicate over radio frequency to other Pelican equipment only. If this equipment is not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, you may experience wireless interference. This device has been tested and complies with FCC rules and regulations.
CAUTION
Always remove the Wireless Module if the Z8 is installed enclosed in metal (e.g. inside the HVAC unit). The Wireless Module will not be able to communicate if metal is blocking its signal.
WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT...
1. Read these instructions carefully and thoroughly. Failure to follow these instructions or improper installation, service, adjustments, maintenance, and/or use can result in personal injury, damage to personal property, and/or cause a hazardous and dangerous situation.
2. Check the ratings and description given in this specification to make sure the product is suitable for your application.
3. Installer must be a trained and experienced technician. Follow all safety codes and regulations and all local and state building codes. Read instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings or notes.
4. After installation is complete, check product operation as provided in these instructions.

INSTALLATION PROCESS
1. Remove the Z8 front cover by placing two fingers into indents along both sides of the controller. Front cover should pull away from back panel with a small amount of upward force. This will expose the terminal blocks, mounting holes, and wireless module.
2. Place the Z8 back plate on a flat surface for mounting. Mark mounting holes and drill 3/16” holes into mounting surface (Refernce Page 12 Figure 7). Note the provided wiring channels. There is also a channel for the static pressure tubing.
3. If the Z8 is installed inside the HVAC unit or is enclosed in metal. The wireless module will need to be removed from the Z8 and installed either below the roof-line or outside the HVAC unit on a plastic weatherproof electrical box (Reference Pages 13 and 14 Figures 8 and 9). The Z8 Wiring Guides are layed out as follows:
a. Fig. 8 shows wiring the Wireless Module to the Z8. (Page 13)
b. Fig. 9 shows installing the Wireless Module on a plastic weatherproof electrical box. (Page 14)
c. Fig. 10 shows the Z8 wired to a Conventional HVAC unit. (Page 15)
d. Fig. 11 shows the Z8 wired to a Conventional HVAC unit with a Bypass. (Page 16)
