Installation and Operating Instructions

NOTE: Read the entire instruction manual before starting the

installation. Leave this instruction with homeowner.

INTRODUCTION

This instruction covers the installation of a Wireless Remote Room

Sensor Part No. ZONECC0WRS01 and Wireless Receiver Part

No. ZONECC0WRC01.

The Wireless Sensors and Receiver are designed to allow zone

temperature sensors to be installed without wiring. The battery-

operated sensor is a miniature radio transmitter which sends

temperature information to the Receiver. The Receiver passes this

information to the Comfort Zone II Equipment Controller. Each

zone transmits its temperature data at least once every 5 minutes.

While temperature is changing, it transmits as often as once per

minute.

An installation requires 1 sensor for each wireless zone and a

single Receiver. From 1 to 8 wireless sensors can be used,

allowing any zone to be wireless.

A small screwdriver with blade no wider than 3/32 in. will be

needed to attach wires to the receiver. Be sure to have this

available at the installation site.

Wireless sensors are useful when it is difficult to route wires to a

zone, or when a sensor may need to be moved to accommodate

changes in a room layout or usage.

The sensor battery is designed to last at least 3 years and

replacement batteries are available from local sources.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Read and follow manufacturer instructions carefully. Follow all

local electrical codes during installation. All wiring must conform

to local and national electrical codes. Improper wiring or installa-

tion may damage receiver.

Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol .

When you see this symbol on the equipment and in the instruction

manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAU-

TION. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. DAN-

GER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe

personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which

could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to

identify unsafe practices which would result in minor personal

injury or product and property damage.

INSTALLATION

Step 1—Location and Installation of Wireless Receiver

IDENTIFYING WIRELESS RECEIVER

The Wireless Receiver and Wireless Remote Room Sensor both

use the same plastic case. The Receiver will be in the envelope

marked ZONECC0WRC01. Remove its cover by squeezing top

and bottom raised ridges and pulling 2 halves apart. The Receiver

has a 5-terminal connector; the sensor has a battery.

SELECTING A LOCATION FOR RECEIVER

Find a location for Wireless Receiver near Equipment Controller

so that wiring between them will be no longer than 10 ft and

routing of wires between them will be easy. Do not mount

Receiver on air handler plenum or any other metal surface. Mount

it so that coiled part of antenna (visible with cover removed) is

vertical.

MOUNTING RECEIVER

For ease of mounting, you may snap the circuit board out of the

plastic base. Use the 2 smaller oval holes in plastic base to mark

screw location on mounting surface. Note that wiring is intended

to exit through large oval hole in lower right of mounting base. A

path or hole in mounting surface will need to be provided for wires

to exit. Drill two 3/16-in. holes in mounting surface and mount

base using screws and anchors provided.

WIRING RECEIVER TO EQUIPMENT CONTROLLER

Before installing sensor, turn off all power to unit. There may

be more than 1 power disconnect. Electrical shock can cause

personal injury or death.

First turn OFF all power to zoning system. Using any 4-conductor

wire, connect Receiver to Equipment Controller as indicated in

Fig. 1. Mount Receiver into its base and route wires neatly. Do not

attach the cover yet.

Step 2—Location and Installation of Wireless Sensors

IDENTIFYING WIRELESS SENSORS

The Wireless Sensor is in a bag marked ZONECC0WRS01. There

may be several sensors in 1 installation.

LOCATION OF SENSORS

Wireless Sensors should be located in the same manner as any

thermostat. Review Comfort Zone II Installation Instructions for

details. Once a location is determined, the sensor circuit board may

be removed from mounting plastic for ease of mounting or to bring

it closer to the Receiver for the configuration process described

next.

WIRED SENSORS MUST BE REMOVED

When a zone has a Wireless Sensor, the wired Remote Sensor must

be disconnected from the Equipment Controller. If it is left

connected, the system will not respond to Wireless Sensor. When

a Wireless Sensor is to be used in zone 1, the temperature sensor

in the User Interface must be cut. Open User Interface and locate

glass sensor element in lower right corner. Using pliers or scissors,

cut 1 wire and bend sensor so contact will not be made. This saves

sensor element should it ever be used again. Refer to Zoning

Installation Instructions.

Step 3—Electric Configuration of Wireless Sensors and

Receiver

INTRODUCTION

Each Wireless Sensor contains a unique identifying code which is

sent each time it communicates with the Receiver. The Receiver

must learn this code from each sensor so that it will only respond

to its sensors and to no others. It then acts like a protecting

password, preventing Wireless Sensors in other systems from cross

communicating with this system. At each transmission, the sensor

transmits the zone number, zone temperature, and an error check-

ing code along with the identifying code. If either of the 2 codes

does not check, the temperature data is ignored. This eliminates the

possibility of erroneous temperature data being received and used.

The system learns the unique identifying codes of the sensors

during the first 10 minutes after the power is applied to the system.

If any zones are added or revised after the 10-minute learning

period, learning period may be restarted by reapplying the power.

If the system does not "learn" a zone, 2 dashes ("--") will appear

in the User Interface’s display in place of the zone temperature

indication and will result in that zone’s damper being closed.

1. Establishing Identifying Code

Use the following procedure to allow the system to install

sensor identifying codes in the Receiver. It is easiest to have

all sensors with you near the Receiver during the setup

process. When finished, sensors can be returned to their proper

locations in their zones. Remember, the following steps must

be completed within 10 minutes after power is applied.

a. Remove and reapply power to zoning system, starting

10-minute timer.

b. Press "install" button on Receiver once. The red LED will

come on and stay on, indicating Receiver is in setup mode.

See Fig. 1 for location of button and LED.

c. On the sensor, pull out battery tab to turn on sensor. Make

sure battery polarity is correct (+ on board matches + on

battery) and the contacts hold battery firmly.

d. Set the rotary switch to the applicable zone number. The

indicator is a small dot beside the screwdriver slot in the

rotary switch. See Fig. 2.

e. Press and hold install button on sensor for 3 sec. The

sensor’s green LED should come on and off.

f. On the Receiver, the LED will flash once indicating it has

received the information. This flash may be barely notice-

able.

g. Repeat steps a. through f. for all other wireless zone

sensors. Be sure proper zone number is set into each one.

h. On the Receiver, press install button once again. This will

turn off the Receiver red LED and exit installation mode.

2. If You Made a Mistake and Want to Start Over

You can either reinstall the identifying codes of the errant

sensor or erase the entire configuration and start over. To

reinstall the Sensor(s), repeat steps 3-1-a through 3-1-h above.

To erase the entire configuration, with the red Receiver LED

on (if not on, momentarily press the button), press and hold the

button until the red LED goes off. The Receiver is now

completely cleared, it has no memory of wireless zones

previously installed. You may now start with step 3-1 above.

3. If You Want to Remove a Zone

Zones cannot be removed without completely clearing the

Receiver memory. Follow Step 3-2 above to remove all

wireless zones and then reinstall the new arrangement.

4. If You Want to Add a Zone

Zones may be added without losing the memory of existing

zones. Follow procedure listed in Step 3-1 above for zones to

be added.

Step 4—Verification of Installed Zones

1. Remember that the entire wireless zone installation process

must be completed within 10 minutes of the time power is

turned on. If there is a question about the time, remove power

and then turn it back on to restart 10-minute timer.

2. Wait 5 minutes to allow all sensors to transmit new tempera-

ture information. Then look for the presence of wireless zones

at the User Interface. Press NEXT ZONE button on User

Interface to advance from zone to zone. All existing zones will

appear in sequence in ZONE X display where X is the zone

number. Each of the wireless zones should exist and its

temperature and set points should be displayed.

3. If Zone Does Not Exist

If wireless zone does not exist, i.e., its zone number is skipped

over, it has not been successfully installed. Try reinstalling

that zone, following Steps 3-1-a through 3-1-h above.

4. If "--" Appears in the Display

If "--" appears in zone temperature display for that zone, the

zone exists but zone temperature data is not valid or is not

being received. Wait another 5 minutes. If "--" still shows, the

Wireless Sensor for that zone is not transmitting properly.

Check its battery again for polarity and good contact. If it still

does not work, the transmitter or battery is bad and should be

replaced. If the transmitter is replaced, the installation proce-

dure for that zone only must be repeated.

5. Finally, return all zone sensors to their proper zones. Be sure

to not get them mixed up. The internal rotary switch setting

must correspond properly to the zone in which it is located.

Install covers on all sensors and Receiver. The system is now

ready for operation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

BATTERY LIFE

The sensor battery is designed to operate for approximately 4

years. When it does fail, the temperature indication for that zone

will be "--" and its zone’s damper will close. The failure of the

battery will not cause the system to lose information for that zone.

When the battery is replaced, that zone will operate properly with

no additional setup.

LOSS OF POWER

If electrical power is interrupted in a system with Wireless

Sensors, no special action must be taken when power is restored.

All needed zone information is stored in non-volatile memory in

the zoning system, and proper operation will automatically re-

sume.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The replacement battery is a type 123, size 2/3 A, 3V, 1.3 Ahrs.

lithium battery. This battery is available at local retail establish-

ments. Acceptable replacement manufacturers and part numbers

are: Panasonic CR-123A, Energizer EL-123AP, Duracell
