FINAL SYSTEM REVIEW

GEN III – VVT

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

GEN III – VVT is a commercial modulating zone control system controlling 2-20 independent zones per unit utilizing wireless Zonex thermostats. The GEN III controller is designed for Auto Changeover, multi-stage Heat

Pump (2C/3H) or Gas Electric (2C/2H) applications.

Sophisticated, integrated software in the wireless thermostat allows for a wide range of system control and changeover strategies, allowing the contractor to tailor the GEN III system to a speciﬁc application.

Additional features include LED status indication of all system functions, digital leaving air temperature, return air temperature and outside air temperature display, fully adjustable capacity control with on-board limit settings and optional staging strategies. An integrated clock allows for setup and night setback scheduling, globally or individually available for each wireless thermostat, with selectable 2 to 8 hour override, along with a unique feature to remotely lock each thermostat independently in the system.

The system provides the installing contractor with a simple startup diagnostic to minimize wiring errors and speed installation.

GEN III is recognized as the Industry's easiest zone control system to install and wire. The GEN III System operates over an unshielded-two-wire data link, along with two 24 VAC power wires all daisy chained from damper to damper with no home run wiring required. Wireless thermostats do not require hardwire power or wiring between the thermostats and dampers. Each Wireless thermostat is synced with its corresponding modulating damper providing effective temperature control throughout the system.

GEN III– VVT

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

Vote Based Auto Changeover Bypass VAV with Programmable Wireless Thermostats

GEN III controller wires to the HVAC unit with legacy style connections Y1, Y2, W1, W2, OB, G, R. Once every

minute the controller communicates to each damper via RS485 connection daisy chained along with 24 V of power wired damper to damper. Each damper is equipped with a damper board ID and synced to its wireless programmable thermostat, installed within 100 feet of the communicating damper board in the system.

The GEN III is an auto changeover, vote based VVT system. As thermostats call for heating or cooling, votes are tallied at the GEN III controller; and, based on the majority of votes received, the HVAC unit operates in the mode of majority votes. If majority changes, the system controller will automatically initiate a changeover sequence with built in time delays to protect the equipment before changing over to the new mode of operation.

When the last calling zone is satisﬁed in either heat or cool mode, the GEN III controller will terminate the HVAC outputs after the next “poll”; and the blower output will be de-energized (unless controller is conﬁgured for constant fan) after a 4-minute purge cycle. During the purge cycle no heat or cool calls are recognized.

The wireless zone thermostats control and modulate the zone dampers based on variance from set point to a position that will match the supply load to the demand requirement. When the HVAC unit is running, if a zone

thermostat is not calling or is calling for the opposite mode, its corresponding damper fully closes. When the

HVAC unit is not running, the thermostats open to the Vent mode to provide ventilation, if the indoor blower fan is

running continuously.

While the HVAC unit is running, the capacity control LAT device monitors the leaving air temperature from the HVAC unit and will cycle the HVAC unit to maintain the air temperature with a preset range to eliminate coil freeze-up and premature heat exchanger failure. When the system is in the heating mode and a majority vote changes to cooling, a changeover timer begins and will run heating for 5 minutes or until heat call is satisﬁed and then cycle into a changeover purge. After a 4-minute purge cycle, Cooling is turned on until the cool call is satisﬁed or there is a majority vote for heat received by the GEN III controller. If all calls have been satisﬁed, after the 4 minute off delay, dampers will modulate to approximately 40% open position for ventilation mode.

The system fan/blower operation can be conﬁgured for ON or intermittent AUTO operation. The controllers are shipped from the factory for Auto fan operation. The only time the fan will run is when there is a call from the controller for heating or cooling. If the system is conﬁgured for fan ON operation, the fan will run continuously

during occupied time and intermittently during unoccupied time.

All zone thermostats are synced or paired with its respective modulating zone damper, which is equipped with antenna and communicating damper board. One zone thermostat in the system shall be enabled as the Monitor

thermostat and synced with the GEN III controller to interact and initiate control decisions for the system. The Monitor shall establish global or individual schedules for the system, lock thermostats individually and provide minimal local adjustment, establish master temperature settings individually or globally for the system, and

provide diagnostic functions to streamline system troubleshooting. Air balance shortcuts, along with password protection, are also enabled at the Monitor thermostat. Sleep and energy saving modes are available to extend

battery life and enhance operation.

Voting demand strategy can be enhanced by adding Priority votes or by giving a NULL vote to individual

thermostats in the system, thereby weighting certain zones more than others. Priority votes allow you to select 0, 1, 2, or 3 additional votes for a thermostat that has unusual loads, like a conference room. A change to 0 for priority in that zone stat conﬁguration will create a NULL vote for HEAT/COOL and will not allow the stat to place a call for heat or cool, but will allow damper operation based on system mode of operation, HEAT/COOL/VENT.

The GEN III provides effective temperature control and minimizes wiring issues by using wireless programmable zone thermostats. No computer or software tools are required for installation, commissioning or servicing the

system.

GEN III CONTROLLER

Controller Description

The GEN III is a micro-controller based, auto

change-over Universal Gas/Electric or Heat Pump

system controller (Part #GEN III ). The GEN III controls a

zoned 2H/2C Gas/Electric HVAC unit or 3H/2C zoned

Heat Pump unit and communicates with and supports up

to 20 zones, utilizing pressure dependent, modulating

dampers and wireless thermostats. The GEN III gathers

information every 60 seconds from each damper board

while the wireless thermostats communicate with

decisions to the HVAC equipment. The GEN III is powered with one 24 V 40VA transformer, which also

powers all dampers in the system. Power from the controller, along with a two-wire twisted pair

communications loop, is daisy chained damper to damper to streamline installation and system

communications. The GEN III is equipped with integrated capacity control and High and Low temperature

limits

to protect the compressor and heat exchanger. Outside air and return air sensors are also provided.

The HVAC unit is staged based on leaving air temperature and time. Auto change-over operation is vote

based, predicated on a ﬁrst call, ﬁrst served majority wins on changeover algorithm. Additional control

strategies are established on a Monitor Thermostat which initiates control decisions with the GEN III system

controller. Review controller terminal connections on the exhibit below:

ACTUATOR

COMMUNICATING DAMPER BOARD

A damper board resides on each zone damper to carry power and communications information from the

damper to the GEN III controller. The damper control board has four LED lights providing damper and system information.

The BLUE LED (R) conﬁrms communications and to sync the damper with its associated thermostat.

The RED LED (U) is illuminated when the damper is modulating to the closed position. The GREEN LED (T) is illuminated when the damper is modulating to the open position. The YELLOW LED (S) is illuminated when AUX heating is calling.

Once all dampers and the GEN III controller are wired into the system and the GEN III controller is turned ON,

the BLUE light will ﬂash 4 times when communicating with the GEN III controller, and 2 times when the

damper control board communicates with the wireless thermostat.

The damper control board can be removed by slipping the mount away from the damper hat section,

simplifying wiring from the GEN III controller and AUX heat if utilized.

Each damper control board must be synced with its respective thermostat. Once the damper is energized

and associated thermostat has its ID set, press the ID button on the damper control board until blue light

ﬂashes continuously and then press the YES button on the wireless thermostat which will display

“SYNC SUCCESSFUL”.

GEN III WIRELESS THERMOSTAT

WSTAT – Wireless GEN III Modulating Thermostat

The WSTAT wireless thermostat is used in conjunction with the modulating damper to communicate calls for HEAT/COOL/VENT to the GEN III controller. Once the wireless thermostat is synced with its damper, the

thermostat is polled each minute and sends information to the communicating damper board and then to GEN III controller. GEN III controller evaluates the information and determines if a majority of calls are for

HEAT or COOL, or if no calls are present VENT Mode.

To turn the wireless stat on, press and hold the AUTO/OFF button for 15 seconds. When OFF is displayed, press and hold OFF button for 15 seconds until AUTO is displayed, release button, stat is in AUTO mode. If AUTO is displayed press AUTO button for 15 seconds until OFF is displayed, release button, stat is in OFF mode.

Note: Mount wireless thermostat within 100 feet of the communicating damper board

Sequence of operation

COOL CALL

When zone temperature rises 1 or more degrees above COOL set point, thermostat transmits COOL call to communicating damper board and GEN III controller. GEN III controller evaluates calls for HEAT and COOL

for majority vote. If there is a majority vote for COOL, GEN III controller initiates a call for cooling and the damper modulates open. ON will be displayed and will ﬂash until system is operating in the COOL mode.

Once system is in COOL mode, ON will remain constant. When zone temperature lowers to COOL set point,

COOL call is terminated and damper closes.

HEAT CALL

When the zone temperature falls greater than 1 degree below HEAT set point, thermostat will initiate a call for HEAT. On the next poll, wireless thermostat will transmit HEAT call to the communicating damper board and GEN III controller. GEN III controller will evaluate all calls for HEAT and COOL in the system and if there is a majority of calls for HEAT, GEN III controller will initiate heat call and ON icon will appear below the set point. ON icon will ﬂash until system is operating in the HEAT mode. Once system is in the HEAT mode, ON will remain constant. Damper will modulate open and warm air will heat zone. As zone warms, thermostat will communicate with damper relay and damper will modulate to maintain zone comfort. When zone temperature rises to set point, damper is closed or at minimum position and WSTAT releases call for HEAT.

Baseboard HEAT

When wireless thermostat is conﬁgured for BASEBOARD heat, when zone temperature falls greater than 2 degrees below HEAT set point, AUX is energized and BASEBOARD heat is operating, ON will be displayed. When zone temperature rises to HEAT set point, thermostat will release call for AUX operations.

REHEAT

When wireless thermostat is conﬁgured for REHEAT operation, when the zone temperature falls greater than 2 degrees below HEAT set point, thermostat transmits REHEAT call to the communicating damper board to modulate damper to 40% open and energizes AUX output, ON will be displayed. When zone temperature rises to HEAT set point, thermostat satisﬁes, releases call for AUX REHEAT and closes damper.

VENT

When all calls for HEAT or COOL are satisﬁed, dampers will modulate to approx. 40% open and VENT will be

displayed on thermostat indicating system is in ventilation mode.

THERMOSTAT OVERVIEW

AND OPERATION

WIRELESS PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT

DESCRIPTION

The WSTAT wireless thermostat is a microprocessor based, auto

changeover, programmable communicating zone thermostat. The zone thermostat controls modulating round or rectangular commercial modulating dampers. The communicating zone thermostat is used with the GEN III-VVT zoning system and

communicates over a proprietary wireless network protocol, with up to 100’ transmission range.

The wireless zone thermostats control and modulate zone dampers

based on variance from set point to a position that will match the

supply load to the demand requirement. When the HVAC unit is running, if a zone thermostat is not calling or is calling for the opposite mode, its corresponding damper fully closes. When the HVAC unit is not

running, the thermostats open to the Vent mode to provide ventilation, if the indoor blower fan is running continuously.

All zone thermostats are synced with its respective modulating zone damper, which is equipped with antenna and communicating damper board. One zone thermostat in the system is enabled as the Monitor thermostat

and synced with the GEN III controller to interact and initiate control decisions for the system. The Monitor coordinates global or individual schedules for the system, locks thermostats individually and provides minimal local adjustment, establishes master temperature settings individually or globally for the system, and

provides diagnostic functions to streamline system troubleshooting. Air balance shortcuts, along with

password protection, are also enabled at the Monitor thermostat. Sleep and Energy Saving modes are

available to extend battery life and enhance operation.

Each wireless zone thermostat is synced or paired with its corresponding zone damper. Each thermostat communicates

wirelessly and modulates the damper based on variance from set point at the stat.

During normal operation the Wireless Zone Stat is in the sleep

mode to extend battery life. It is operating and communicating

in the background, but sleep mode or energy saving mode will

signiﬁcantly extend battery life.

How to make a call for HEAT or COOL

Press any button to access Operations Mode of the Thermostat

Cool Call

If cooling is desired, set COOL set point 1 or more degrees below room temperature. Once desired temperature

is set, ON icon will appear below set point. ON icon will ﬂash until system is operating in COOL mode. Once

system is in cooling mode, ON will remain constant.

Heat Call

If heating is desired, set HEAT set point 1 or more degrees above room temperature. Once desired temperature is set, ON icon will appear below set point. ON icon will ﬂash until system is operating in HEAT mode. Once

system is in heating mode, ON will remain constant.

Vent Mode

When all calls for heating and cooling are satisﬁed, damper controller will set the damper into VENT position and report to the thermostat VENT operations. During this time if GEN III controller is conﬁgured for FAN ON, recirculating air will be circulated to all zones.

Lock Thermostats

This is done at the MONITOR STAT, SYSTEM CONFIGURATION MENU Contact building manager for advanced conﬁguration

Override

To override thermostat operations when in the Unoccupied mode, press the AUTO button once and system will run in the Occupied mode for conﬁgured override time. System will terminate override after conﬁgured run time, if scheduled changeover occurs, or if AUTO button is pressed again.

Replace Batteries

Use a ﬂat head screwdriver to unscrew clockwise to release the thermostat from the sub-base. Set screw will

recess into the sub-base.

Remove batteries from the thermostat and replace with new batteries conﬁrming polarity of batteries.

Place the thermostat back on sub-base and tighten set screw counter clockwise.

GEN III– VVT

Two menus are available at each zone thermostat. A Zone Setup Menu and System Conﬁguration Menu. ZONE SETUP MENU is available from every thermostat in the system. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION MENU may be

viewed on every thermostat BUT only controllable from the assigned MONITOR THERMOSTAT in the system.

WIRELESS REMOTE SENSOR

Description

The wireless remote sensor part # WRS is a microprocessor based, auto

changeover, programmable communicating zone thermostat without a local display. The zone sensor controls modulating round, rectangular

dampers or WD-Fusers. The communicating remote sensor is used with the

GEN III-VVT zoning system. The wireless remote sensor controls and modulates zone dampers based on

variance from set point to a position that will match the supply load to the

demand requirement. When the HVAC unit is running, if a remote sensor is

not calling or is calling for the opposite mode, its corresponding damper

fully closes. When the HVAC unit is not running, the remote sensor will

instruct its corresponding damper to go into Vent mode to provide ventilation, if the indoor blower fan is running continuously.

The Remote Sensor provides local adjustment of +/- 2 degrees from set point using the sensors slide pot. Auxiliary or supplemental heat sources,

i.e. base board, radiant panels, or reheat coils may also be controlled and

energized from each remote sensor if required.

Use a Monitor thermostat to set and review one or more remote sensors. Sensor can be setup with daily schedules, priority votes and override functions which are all programmed to the remote sensor from the Monitor thermostat.

A Wireless Occupancy Remote Sensor is also available, and when it detects a ﬁrst body movement it will quickly blink the LED and read the slide pot.

WD-Fuser Zone Damper

Zonex Systems D-Fuser is a combination zone damper and diffuser. It mounts in a standard 2’ x 2’ T-bar ceiling opening, providing for simple installation and easy maintenance access. The D-Fuser is a cone shaped ﬂuidic nozzle with a platen that modulates up and down to control air ﬂow. As the platen moves up, the air volume is

reduced; but the air velocity and throw remain constant. This keeps the air hugging

the ceiling, which maximizes room air mixing and minimizes the “waterfall” effect.

The damper is equipped with a damper board designed to support and

communicate with a Zonex wireless programmable thermostat. The D-Fuser is a fully modulating power open / power close damper using a 24vac 60Hz 2 VA motor.

BYPASS DAMPERS – ELECTRONIC

Electronic Bypass Dampers

Bypass dampers are used to provide constant air delivery through the air handling unit. This is done by bypassing excess air from the supply duct back to the return duct. As a zone is satisﬁed, its zone damper closes. When this happens, the bypass damper opens just enough to bypass the excess air. This will control static pressure and noise at the diffusers.

Sizing Electronic Bypass Dampers

The bypass damper is to be sized for the total system CFM @ 1500 FPM. System CFM should be calculated at 400 CFM per ton.

Example: A 5-ton system is rated at 2000 CFM (5x400 = 2000). When calculated at 1500 FPM, the bypass damper should be 16”. Never undersize the bypass damper.

Round Bypass Damper Selection

The Zonex Systems STBP damper is used for round bypass applications. When you know the bypass CFM requirements, use the ROUND BYPASS SELECTION TABLE to conﬁrm the round damper size.

NOTE: Multiple round dampers can be slaved from one sta correct capacity. One large rectangular bypass damper may be used instead of multiple round dampers. See below.

BYPASS DAMPER WITH INTEGRATED PRESSURE CONTROL

(Part # STBP or STCDBP)

Bypass Damper with Integrated Pressure Control is used to control bypass operations. The bypass damper modulates to maintain static pressure as zone dampers open and close. The bypass system reduces air noise from the supply registers caused by excessive air velocity. If the system is conﬁgured for intermittent fan mode and the system satisﬁes, there will be a 3-minute delay to allow for system purge, after which the bypass damper will open to 25%, preventing noisy rush of air th registers when fan starts up on a call for heat or cool. If the system is conﬁgured for fan continuous operation, the STBP (Round) or STCDBP (Rectangular) Electronic Bypass will monitor static pressure continuously, providing constant control of system static.

Bypass Damper Installation

Verify the bypass damper is sized properly to the system and not undersized. (Bypass damper sizing is recommended for 100% of system CFM.)

Bypass damper and controller are powered by a dedicated 24vac 40VA transformer.

Do not install the bypass damper outside.

Locate the Integrated Pressure Control (IPC) and air tube on the bypass damper.

Drill hole into the side of the supply duct 2’ after the bypass and before the 1st supply take-off.

Mount pressure supporting block over hole, align hole in block with hole in duct. Use provided sheet metal screws.

Install air tube into supply air duct by slipping supplied plastic tubing into holes in support block and duct. Slip Pickup tubing ﬁts snugly into provided hole. Connect pressure tube from static air pickup to Integrated Pressure Controller (port closest to you).

Static Pressure Option: The Integrated Pressure Control Board can be ﬁeld conﬁgured for speciﬁed static pressure using a multi meter and the static pressure – voltage chart. (Exhibit A). This chart shows voltage (DC) to inches of W.C. (static pressure) relationship. Use a multi meter set on VDC and place the leads on the “C” terminal and “TP1” (test point one) next to the potentiometer. The Voltage reading translates to inches of W.C.

Bypass Checkout For Static Pressure Controller

Make cool call at the zone thermostat of the smallest zone.

Verify all zone dampers are closed except for calling zone.

Verify noise at zone registers is not excessive. Adjust the Integrated Pressure Control LEFT to lower noise (airﬂow) or RIGHT to increase airﬂow until too noisy.
