1. Install GEN II-R controller in an easily accessible location for your customer.
2. Install an independent 24 volt 40 VA transformer if using 3 wire (run open-run closed damper), and connect to the TR1
and TR2 (next to TC/TC) terminals on the GEN II-R controller. When using a TR series 2 position / spring return damper
the transformer VA needs to be sized based on damper quantity. See page 19 for transformer sizing.
3. Install the LAT sensor in the supply air, ahead of any bypass takeoffs. Wire sensor to the S S terminals on the
GEN II-R controller.
4. Install Dampers and Bypass Damper.
5. Install all field supplied programmable thermostats sub-bases and pull 18/4 thermostat wire to the damper
control board that it will control. For Heat Pump operation with emergency heat, install one Heat Pump thermostat
with emergency heat operation on any zone using 18/5 thermostat wire to that one thermostat.
6. Wire TR1 and TR2 terminals from the GEN II-R controller to the first damper control board R and C - only (18 ga
thermostat wire).
7. Wire A & B terminals from GEN II-R controller using Belden 8740 twisted pair wire or Zonex supplied equal to
the first damper control board A & B - only.
8. Damper wiring is factory per wired to the damper control board.
9. Wire the first thermostat to it’s damper control board R, C, Y, W/OB and E if using emergancy heat in Heat Pump
operation.
10. Address the the first damper control board jumper as #1- see pages 10 and 11 for thermostat installation and
addressing. Note: Each damper will have a unique address 1-10.
11. Turn on GEN II-R controller switch “E”. Power light should light up and look at the display “G” on the GEN II-R
controller, and the #01 should appear on the display. This indicates you are communicating with the first zone
damper / thermostat.
12. If you don’t see the #01 and 00 is displayed, check the address jumper on damper control board. If the
address is #01, then check wires for TR1 & TR2 or R & C polarity and A & B for correct connections.
13. If #01 is displayed on the GEN II-R controller, then daisy chain wires from damper control board #1 to the next
damper control board and address it #2; then repeat the ON-OFF switch operation and confirm the #02 shows
up on the display indicating the system is now communicating with 2 thermostats.
14. Continue adding damper control boards; and confirm communication by repeating the ON-OFF switch opera tion until all thermostats are wired and the total number of thermostats on the job show up on the display on
the GEN II-R controller.
15. Go to any thermostat and make a Cool Call. Look at the GEN II-R controller and confirm Y1 (yellow LED) and
G (green LED) lights are ON.

GENERAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
GENERAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
When the GEN II-R controller is powered up, the total number of addressed dampers are determined and
verified on the display. This confirms the controller is communicating with all dampers in the system. If
there are no active heat or cool calls detected, the supply dampers will open in ventilation mode. The
system blower operation can be configured for constant ON or intermittent Auto.
The GEN II-R systems can be field configured for adjustable time based opposing call changeover or vote
based majority changeover. The GEN II-R controller is shipped from the factory for 10-minute opposing
call changeover. The GEN II-R controller “polls” the damper control boards once per minute to determine
the thermostat demand status for heat and cool. The heat and cool changeover functions will operate
according to changeover strategy selected. When the GEN II-R controller changes modes, a 5-minute
purge cycle is initiated before the changeover is completed.
On active heat or cool calls, the non-calling zones will close. When the last calling zone is satisfied in
either heat or cool mode, the GEN II-R controller terminates the HVAC outputs after the next “poll” and
the blower output will be de-energized (unless controller is configured for constant fan) for a 5-minute
purge cycle. During the purge cycle no heat or cool calls are recognized.
When the system is in the heating mode and calls for cooling are received, an opposing call timer strategy
operates. This timer is adjustable from 5 - 30 minutes. The factory default is 10 minutes. At the end of the
selected time period, if the opposing call is 3° away from set point, heating is turned off. After a 5-minute
purge mode, Cooling is turned on until the cool call is satisfied. If necessary, GEN II-R will return to the
heating mode, If all calls have been satisfied, dampers will open for ventilation. If the opposing zone strategy is not desired, this feature may be disabled.

2nd Stage Heat and Cool Cut-in / Cut-out Configuration
The GEN II-R controller is set up at the factory to stage Y2 and W2 cut-in operation based on a 3-minute time delay and supply air temperature. This is done using the TIME/TEMP (I) jumper. Time may
be field configured from 3-20 minutes by the contractor during system configuration. The cut-in
temperatures are fixed in the controller program at 58°F (14°C) and higher for Y2 and 120°F (48°C)
and lower for W2. The GEN II-R controller second stage cut-out temperature is fixed in the controller
program at 50°F (10°C). Y2 will de-energize when it drops below 50°F and re-energize when it rises
above 58°F. If the air temperature drops below the low cut-out (45°F) Y1 and Y2 are de-energized and
the controller will go into a 5 minute purge mode. After 5 minute purge, if the temperature has risen
above the low cut-out Y1 is re-energized. Heat W1 and W2 will de-energize if leaving air temperature
rises above heat cutout and will be locked out for 5 minutes. After 5 minute lockout, if a heat call
remains and leaving air temperature is lower than heat cutout, W1 will re-energize. By placing jumper
on bottom two pins, a time only strategy may be configured into the system. ( see below);

DAMPER CONTROL BOARD ADDRESSING / CONFIGURATION
Each damper control board must have a unique address from 1-10. To set the damper control board address there is a
jumper on the board. Find the first damper in the daisy chain and place the jumper on ZN1 for address #1. Go to the
second damper in the daisy chain and place the jumper on ZN2 for address #2. Continue addressing the damper control
boards in numerical order of the daisy chain wiring.

SYSTEM START UP AND TEST
System Start Up and Test
1. Plug all thermostats into sub-bases. Turn GEN II-R power switch (E) to ON.
2. Find the first damper control board in the Daisy chain and set its address to 01.
3. Turn GEN II-R power switch OFF and then ON. The Display should flash 01 and then show the
leaving air temperature. This confirms your successful wiring and communication with that
thermostat.
4. If 01 is displayed, change the next damper control board address to 02. Turn the GEN II-R
switch OFF and then ON. Th e display should flash 02 and then show the tem
address damper control boards one at a time.
5. After each damper board is re-addressed, turn the power switch OFF and then ON. This will
verify that the re-addressed damper board has been found by the GEN II-R Controller.
This procedure will simplify your installation and will confirm your wiring is correct and that the GEN
controller can communicate over the 2-wire twisted pair data link with every thermostat in your
II-R
system.
Troubleshooting
When stat #1 is not found:
perature. Re -
1. Check damper control board to verify that it is addressed as 01.
2. Check all TR1 and TR2 wiring for proper color-to-color connections. Even if the stats are powered
all R wires at the damper control board must be connected to the GEN II-R TR1 terminal. All C wires
must be connected to the GEN II-R TR2 terminal. Confirm the daisy chain wiring is correct at this
time.
3. Check A, B wires for proper color code and connections; polarity is imperative. All A connec tions must land on A terminal on each of damper control board, and all B connections must connect
to B terminal on each damper control board.
4. Check TR1 and TR2 wires for opens or shorts.
Checking the Daisy Chain for opens or shorts:
Start from the GEN II-R board, and follow A, B wires to the first damper control board. Remove the A,
B wires going to the next damper control board in the link and address the first damper control board
as #1. Turn the GEN II-R power switch Off, then On, to see if the display flashes 01, at the GEN II-R
controller.
1. If 01 is displayed, the first link of the daisy chain is OK. Reconnect the wires going to sub-base.
2. Repeat these steps with a stat numbered 02. If the number 02 is displayed, then communication is
confirmed.
When the correct number does not appear for a link, that link is either shorted or open. A link of the
daisy chain, which is open or shorted, must be repaired before the next damper is checked.
When the damper control boards are correctly addressed, wired and linked, the total number of stats
on your job connected to the GEN II-R control board will be displayed when the board is turned on.
After the correct number of connected damper control boards is displayed, complete the wiring of the
AC unit or heat pump connections, next make heat and cool calls to the GEN II-R controller.

ADVANCED FEATURE CONFIGURATION
Fan operation
The factory setting for FAN operation is AUTO, with the FAN jumper (I) on the middle and lower
pins. In this setting, the fan circuit on “G” is only energized on an active cool call in Gas/Electric
mode or on an active heat call or cool call in Heat Pump mode.
When the FAN jumper is in AUTO, there is no output on “G” with an active heat call in Gas/Elec-
tric mode. For constant fan operation place the FAN jumper (I) on the center and upper pins on ON.
Opposing Call Changeover
The GEN II-R controllers are configured at the factory for Opposing Call Changeover with a time delay
setting of 10 minutes. With this configuration, any number of thermostats can make a like active
call (heat or cool). During this time, if a single thermostat makes an opposite call, a

2 WIRE ZONE DAMPERS
Zonex Systems zone dampers are used in cooling / heating systems to provide room by room zone control. The
damper is provided with a zone actuator. Each zone damper is controlled by a zone thermostat. More than one
damper can be controlled by one zone thermostat.
ROUND LOW PRESSURE ZONE DAMPERS (TRX diam)
Zonex Systems round low pressure zone dampers can be used for
systems up to 5 tons with a maximum differential static pressure of 0.5”.
These are two position, spring open, power close dampers for very simple
operation. All sizes are designed with rolled-in stiffening beads for easy
installation. A hat section supports a synchronous 24V AC 60Hz 12VA
motor and terminal board. A red LED will be illuminated on the damper
terminal board to indicate when the damper is being powered closed. The
LED will remain on when the damper is fully closed and cycle off when the
damper is opening or in the full opened position. Since this is a spring
open damper, in the event of power failure, the damper fails to the full
open position.
LOW PRESSURE (TRX diam)
RECTANGULAR LOW PRESSURE ZONE DAMPERS (TREX W x H)
Zonex Systems rectangular low pressure zone dampers can be used for
systems up to 5 tons with a maximum differential static pressure of 0.5”.
These are two position, spring open, power close dampers. The damper
is a single blade type that slips into a 2-1/2” wide cutout in the existing
duct and attaches with screws via a duct mounting plate. The duct mounting plate is 5” wide. A red LED will be illuminated on the damper terminal
board to indicate when the damper is being powered closed. The LED will
remain on when the damper is fully closed and cycle off when the damper
is opening or in the full opened position. Since this is a spring open
damper, in the event of power failure, the damper fails to the full open
position.
LOW PRESSURE (TREX W x H) RECTANGULAR
DAMPER
SIZING ZONE DAMPERS
If the ductwork already exists, simply size the damper to fit the ductwork. For new systems or retrofit jobs:
A. Determine CFM from heat gain or loss calculations.
B. Select damper size using either the round capacities chart, the rectangul ar capacities chart or
by using a duct sizing table or calculator.
C. Select a Zonex Systems damper to fit the duct size selected for that zone.
Make sure your zone dampers match the type specified in the table showing Maximum Differential Pr
essure.
INSTALLATION NOTES
1. Do not exceed 700 FPM in a register/diffuser branch duct.
2. If a damper is installed within 3 feet of a register/diffuser, install sound attenuating flex duct between
damper and outlet.
3. Zone dampers should be preceded by 2’−4’ of straight pipe where possible.
4. In attic installations and high humidity areas, the Zonex Systems damper should be insulated along with
the ductwork. The hat section on the round damper is delivere
d with insulation between the hat section
and pipe. Therefore, insulation should be applied to the round pipe and be butted against the hat section
(do not insulate the motor). The motor generates enough heat so that no condensation will develop on it.
5. Remember to allow a 16” gap in the duct for heavy duty rectangular CD dampers.
6. Low pressure rectangular dampers slide into a 3” wide cutout in the side of the pre-existing duct
work.
7. Minimum open and close positioni
ng is field adjustable on the actuator. The damper is shipped from the
factory to close 100%.
NOTE: Dampers should not be installed with motor upside down in the 6:00 position.

DAMPER TRANSFORMER SIZING
DAMPER TRANSFORMER SIZING
The 24V transformer connected to TR1 and TR2 of the GEN II-R System Controller powers the zone dampers. The power
rating of the transformer must be sufficient to power the number of dampers used. Also, a properly rated in line fuse must be
used on the secondary of the transformer. To determine the power rating of the transformer and the amperage rating of the
fuse, use the table below. If using a combination of spring open and power open dampers, size as if all dampers are spring
open.
Up to three dampers can be directly controlled by one zone damper control board. To wire two or three dampers for a zone,
use the following wiring diagram. Remember to size the power transformer for the total number of zone dampers in the system,

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.
Zonex Systems offers two types of bypass dampers, Barome-
BYPASS DAMPERS – BAROMETRIC
The barometric bypass damper is for systems 5 tons or under.
It utilizes a weighted damper blade to maintain constant duct
pressure. This allows for easy installation without the need for
electrical power or wiring. The round barometric damper can
be installed in any position. The RBB rectangular damper must
be installed with horizontal air flow only.
SIZING: When only the smallest zone is calling, the maximum
amount of excess supply air flow through the bypass damper.
To determine the proper size bypass damper to use, do the
following steps:
Step 1: Calculate bypass air volume as
follows:
A) Calculate total air volume at 400
CFM per ton.
B) Calculate air volume of smallest
zone in CFM.
C) Calculate bypass air volume by
subtracting the smallest zone air
volume from the total. (A - B = C)

tric and electronic. Each is available in round or rectangular
configuration. Barometric bypass dampers are limited to
systems of 5 tons. Electronic bypass dampers can be used on
any size system. For residential HVAC systems with variable
speed blowers, the barometric or electric bypass dampers can
be used. NOTE: When using the electronic bypass (STBP/ST-
CDBP), see the Bypass Dampers - Electronic Section, Pages
23-26; or contact Technical Support at 800-228-2966.
If bypassing more than 2000 CFM, use the electronic bypass.
Example: You have a 4 ton system. Your smallest zone will use
500 CFM. The total CFM is 1600 CFM (400*4). Your bypass
CFM is 1100 (1600-500). From the table, you determine that a
12” bypass damper is needed.
Do not use the barometric bypass in any system over 5 tons,
for systems over 5 tons, or to bypass more than 2000 CFM,
use the electronic bypass.

BYPASS DAMPERS- BAROMETRIC
INSTALLATION
The round barometric bypass damper can be installed in any
position. This damper is factory set for horizontal installation
and can be field modified for vertical installation. Do not run
speed screws into damper housing. Screws may interfere with
damper travel. Make sure counterweight is not obstructed in any
way.
a) Install the bypass damper between the supply and return
plenums of the unit. It must be the first tap off the supply plenum.
b) Be sure the air flows through the damper in the proper
direction as indicated by the arrow on the damper. Airflow
is always from supply to return plenum. Be certain the
damper shaft is horizontal.
c) Loosen counter weight with allen wrench.
d) Loosen lever arm from damper shaft and allow to hang
straight down.
e) Fully close damper by grabbing damper shaft on side
attached to lever arm and turning clockwise until it stops.
f)While holding the damper fully closed, rotate the lever
arm a little to the right (facing the damper) and then
screw into tighten to the damper shaft. Then tighten lock
nut.
BAROMETRIC BYPASS SETUP
a) Turn off all thermostats.
b
) Turn on Controller and set fan switch to “ON” position.
Allow fan to run for 5 minutes to equalize pressure.
Then make sure all dampers are open by checking
for air flow out of each damper.
c) By moving counter weight up or down the lever arm,
adjust it so the damper just wants to start opening.
d) If the damper cannot be held closed with the counter
weight all the way to the bottom of the lever arm, then
hold the damper shaft, loosen the lever arm from the
damper shaft, and rotate the lever arm farther to the
right and retighten. Repeat Step C.
e) The barometric bypass damper is now calibrated.
BAROMETRIC BYPASS STARTUP TEST
a) Have at least half of the zones call for either heating or
cooling.
b) Check to be sure the calling zone dampers are open,
(air is flowing).
c) Verify the bypass damper is open. Note, the damper
may not fully open.
g) Be sure the damper is being held closed by the counter
weight. Proceed to setup.

The Electronic Bypass Damper is used on any size system over 5 tons.
The damper can be round (STBP) or
rectangular (STCDBP) with integrated static pressure control; and multiple dampers can be slaved together.
SIZING ELECTRONIC BYPASS DAMPERS
The bypass damper is to be sized for the total
system CFM @ 1500 FPM. System CFM should
DiameterCFM
PART #SIZEDL W
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 SE
LECTION
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 static pressure control to provide the
correct capacity. One large rectangular bypass
damper may be used instead of multiple round
dampers. See below.

CONTROL SETUP
1. Verify the bypass damper is sized properly to the
system and not undersized. (Bypass damper
sizing is recommended for 100% of system CFM.)
2. Bypass damper and controller are powered by a
dedicated 24vac 40VA transformer.
3. Do not install the bypass damper outside.
4. Locate the Integrated Pressure Control (IPC) and
air tube on the bypass damper.
1. Run all supply dampers to the full open position
and have blower motor running at 100% fan
speed. (See Note #1)
2. Manually close the bypass damper by pressing
in the release lever on the motor side of the
actuator. With the re
lease lever pressed, rotate
the damper actuator collar to close the damper
and release the lever to lock the damper closed.
3. Quick Set Option: Turn the potentiometer on
the damper control board to the full left position
and slowly rotate RIGHT, until the “RC” RED
LED turns on. Now rotate LEFT just slightly, until
RC LED turns off. The IPC is ready for
operation.
“RC” RED LED means damper closing.
“RO” GREEN LED means damper opening.
