2. Product Description
The Platinum II Zone Control System controls the airflow to each room or Zone
within the building. The ultimate temperature of the building is controlled by
the air conditioner thermostat, whilst the Platinum II system will maximise the
effectiveness of the air distribution. The system controls the Zone Dampers to
accurately manage the airflow to each Zone, maximizing occupant comfort.
Zones can be closed off completely if not in use. Using optional wireless Zone
Sensors that can monitor a rooms temperature, the system can be programmed
to adjust automatically. Used properly, the system can reduce energy
consumption – it is designed to optimize the use of heating and cooling within
the building.
The system can control up to 8 Zones with a single Control Box, or 16 Zones by
linking two Control Boxes. Both configurations can be managed by either one or
two Touch Screens.
Each Zone can be named for ease of recognition.
The Platinum II system can be programmed with up to 8 different Favourite
settings. A Favourite is the name given to a programmed set of Zones. The name
can be descriptive to communicate the purpose of the programmed settings, eg.
Casual Living, Bedrooms Off, Night Settings, etc.
3. Precautions
This appliance is not to be used by persons, including children with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction.

For an Auto system, the default
setting for each Zone is Auto
mode.
An offset temperature can be
set in Auto mode to increase or
decrease airflow to the Zone,
raising or lowering the
temperature relative to Zones
with no offset.
The system can automatically
detect whether the air
conditioner is heating or
cooling. The colour of the
offset bar will indicate whether
the system is in heating or
cooling mode.
Alternatively an individual
Zone can be set to Manual
mode and operated as
previously described.
Manual mode is ideal when
one Zone requires a minimal
amount of air or is not being
used and can be turned off.
