•Follow these recommendations to locate the controllers:
•In order to connect the elements of the system, use only Airzone 4 wires cable: 2x0.22 mm2shielded twisted wires for
data communication and 2x0.5 mm2for power supply. The connection between the control modules must be made
in Bus mode.
•Do not place the system bus close to lines of force, fluorescent lights, LED lamps, motors, etc. It might cause
interference on the communications.
•Respect the connection polarity of each device. A wrong connection may seriously damage the product.
•For elements externally powered at 110 /230 Vac, for the communications, it is only necessary to connect the poles "A"
and "B" of the bus.
•For elements externally powered at 110/230 Vac, respect the connection polarity. A wrong grounding may produce
electric shocks.
•According to the current local and national regulations, it is mandatory to add a switch (or other element to disconnect
the system) to the external supply wiring so that a constant separation between poles is guaranteed. The system will
restart automatically if the supply is eventually turned off. Use an independent circuit from the controlled system
for the power supply.
•Once the Airzone system is configured, verify that the static pressure of the duct system complies with the air
distribution network conditions where is installed (check the Manufacturer’s Manual of the equipment if you need to
modify this parameter).

CONNECTION
Important: Respect the color code for all the system elements.
1.- Connecting the zone and control modules of the system to the Airzone VAF control board
Connect the zone modules of the system in any of the three Airzone connection bus terminals. Use the appropriate cable:
shielded twisted pair cable formed by 4 wires: 2x0.22 mm2 + 2x0.5mm2(AWG 20 – 4 wired). They must be connected by bus.
For added security, secure the wires using the turrets.
Note: For elements externally powered at 110 /230 Vac, for the communications, it is only necessary to connect the poles "A"
and "B" of the bus.
These are the elements that can be connected:
-Airzone VAF wired/wireless intelligent round damper.
-Airzone VAF wired/wireless only radiant zone module.
-Airzone VAF wired/wireless zone module with xxx communication.
-Airzone VAF relay radiant heat control module.

IMPORTANT: The maximum number of zone modules connected without their own power supply to the Airzone VAF control
Board is: 6 zone modules connected to Blueface controllers or 10 zone modules connected to Think or Lite controllers. To add
more zone modules, it is necessary to install the supplementary power supply unit (Airzone VAF additional 12V power supply).
Every supplementary power supply unit is enough for 6 or 10 modules as stated before.
2.- Connecting the controllers
Connect each controller to the terminal corresponding to its zone module. Use the appropriate cable: shielded twisted pair
cable formed by 4 wires: 2x0.22 mm2 + 2x0.5mm2(AWG 20 – 4 wired).
In case of Wireless controller, check it has the battery on.
3.- Configuration and connection of the relay radiant heat control module
If you have a relay radiant heat control module, configure the SW2 microswitch
depending on the zones to control.
For example: The relay to control the radiant element of a zone module with address 6 is the
R1 of the radiant heat control module with address configured for zones 6-10.
Once configured, perform the connection with the radiant elements to control per each relay output of the module.
Control relay specs: Imax = 1 A at 24/48 V, voltage-free.
Note that to control elements with a greater power, it is recommended to use contactors in accordance
with the power required. Remember to connect the neutral connector directly from the circuit to the
element to be controlled.
Important: The Airzone system is not compatible with electric duct heaters, it may result in system malfunction and/or fire.
